[00:00] thesaint4444, not vmware but i have done it in virtualbox without a problem [00:00] agento i don't recall having setup a slide show as background from gnome but it's very simple in kde :))) [00:01] Agent_bob, thanks jrib i think what u say its what i need [00:01] R_YoYo_R: thanks, whats the difference between vmware and virtualbox? cheers. [00:01] thesaint4444: they're different programs, they do the same thing. [00:01] crdlb: what does lower-level mean exactly? (I don't mean to question as a challenge, I am just genuinely noobish). [00:01] R_YoYo_R have you installed centos or fedora on ubuntu (xen) ? [00:01] thesaint4444: virtualbox also has an open-source version, vmware does not [00:01] christophe59500, no [00:02] LjL: ok, thanks... will give it a go. [00:02] hi [00:02] R_YoYo_R ok, because, there is a bug, and i don't know how resolv this [00:02] hello [00:02] is there anyway to install ubuntu using opensuse [00:02] R_YoYo_R: thanks for the info.... [00:02] mercutio22: insmod just loads a module pointed to by an absolute path, modprobe will look in the correct locations, handle dependencies, and is configurable [00:02] mercutio22, one talks about "high level" and "low level" in computing referring to layers of abstraction, or layers of software/protocols. something "lower level" is something closer to the hardware, or closer to the simplest protocol in a chain [00:03] anyone knows what this means? [ 68.891992] mtrr: no MTRR for f8000000,3000000 found [00:03] [ 80.226763] mtrr: base(0xf8000000) is not aligned on a size(0x3000000) boundary [00:03] can I install ubuntu using opensuse [00:03] have a problem with my keyboard , when i login keyboard fine , but when gnome starts it adds num pad to keyboared how fix this [00:03] Abztrakt23, download an ISO in opensuse, burn it and then install [00:03] without using a cd [00:03] jrib, excellent [00:04] crdlb, LjL: Thanks, I see now. [00:05] erm, Abztrakt23, then you need to make a partition in your HDD, copy the iso in a special way there, make that bootable so it behaves like an iso and install from there, or you can also netinstall [00:06] Hello all, I'm trying to write a bash script to download all files in a directory from the internet... can I just call wget "*"? [00:07] jimmio: no just this but wget can do what you want chack its man page [00:07] check* [00:07] jimmio, do you have millons of Zettabytes to store all the internet files? [00:07] I'm trying to scp from one machine to another. SSH succeeds, but scp fails with permission denied. I using the following command: scp file user@remotehost:/home/user/ .It gives me a login prompt and responds with permission denied. [00:07] Funny enough, sftp works. [00:07] crdlb, LjL: If I forget my iee1394 (firewire) harddisk on, before I turn on my computer it isn't automounted. Then I have to "rmmod ohci1394" and later "modprobe ohci1394" and that works. So in that case should insmod do the same? [00:08] as modprobe I mean [00:08] Does anyone else have probems with applications holding onto the sound card forcing others to be unable to use it? [00:08] Firefox is doing this a lot. [00:08] I constantly have to kill firefox to free up the sound card. [00:09] what is the best linux ltsp to install? [00:09] dominic_, change to alsa [00:09] mercutio22: insmod takes a full path; it has no module search path [00:09] dominic_: install libflashsupport [00:09] dominic_: I have problem of that kind a lot, but not with firefox. Are you using pulseaudio or ALSA? [00:09] i'm not even on a flash page when this happens [00:09] dominic_: yes I think I have a similar problem... [00:09] ALSA [00:10] dominic_: try using pulseaudio then [00:10] Turl:... I said from a certain directory, lmao [00:10] okay, i'll mess with it some more [00:10] catalao, Mostly that would be Ubuntu 8.04, unless you need some special hardwaresupport that is broken in this latest version. [00:10] something as simple as gmail does it [00:10] i guess via the sounds generated from the Instant Messages [00:11] jimmio, just a joke ;) [00:11] hey, when I try to print via samba share, I get "Session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" [00:11] jimmio: look at recursive options [00:11] which is werid because normal shares are accessed quite succesfuly [00:11] If you use Ubuntu then you are immune to keyloggers etc...? is that true? [00:12] if I use LiveCD ubuntu,why am I immune to keyloggers etc? [00:12] seekingtruth: your never totally immune to everything. [00:12] jorrit, do you know why the terminals break?? it's because the hardware? [00:12] Can anyone help me with an scp vs. ssh problem? Ssh works, as well as sftp, but scp doesn't work, with the response access denied, even when I'm trying to write to a directory I have access to. === expl0ited2 is now known as Expl0ited [00:12] expl0ited2: explain how I get be infected with a keylogger if I boot Ubuntu LiveCD [00:12] need help , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=911385 [00:13] seekingtruth: you are immune to anyone changing your file system as it is on the cd... [00:13] catalao, breaking terminals?, what program are you using? [00:13] seekingtruth: stuff can still load in ram when you use livecd [00:13] seekingtruth: hardware keylogger between your keyboard and the box [00:13] thesaint4444: exploited2 just said the Ubuntu LiveCD can be infected with keylogger [00:13] jrib: what do you mean? [00:14] seekingtruth: he means a physical device between your keyboard and the usb/ps2 port [00:14] seekingtruth: like a man-in-the-middle [00:14] Prose: are you saying a keylogger can still load into RAM if I boot Ubuntu LiveCD?> [00:14] Hell no [00:14] seekingtruth: yeah, much like normal apps load into ram when you use LiveCD [00:14] seekingtruth: anything can load into ram... [00:15] Sorry - mischan [00:15] Prose: if I load Ubuntu LiveCD, where does the keylogger come from to load into RAM as you suggest? [00:15] seekingtruth, Of course, just be sure to check the MD5 hash if you're afraid your LiveCD might be tainted. [00:15] seekingtruth: websites, stuff you download [00:15] seek [00:15] seekingtruth: or just downlod another cd [00:15] seekingtruth: err.. the internet? [00:16] seekingtruth: or your livecd may be infiltrated as jorrit said [00:16] Prose: just by visiting websites, a person can get infected with a keylogger??? a website writer can do that? [00:16] seekingtruth: the keylogger that some are talking about can also be a hardware device (looks like a flash drive) that plugs in between the keyboard cable and the computer. they can grab all keystrokes no matter what OS that you are using just check the cable. [00:16] seekingtruth, If you download it from the main Ubuntu site and check the MD5 mentioned on *the official site of Ubuntu* against your ISO [00:16] seekingtruth: no no [00:16] n6 [00:17] no [00:17] seekingtruth: there needs to be more than that [00:17] jorrit: and who says that's the official site? ;) [00:17] Prose: more like what? [00:17] seekingtruth: most common receipe for disaster is : Internet Explorer, dumbass 20cm away from screen, ActiveX scripts [00:17] Prose: what would I need to do on ubuntu LiveCD to get a keylogger into RAM? [00:17] Prose: IE runs on Ubuntu? :P [00:17] seekingtruth: in Wine :P [00:18] seek [00:18] Prose: i didnt know IE comes on LiveCD [00:18] seekingtruth: it doesn't [00:18] need help , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=911385 [00:18] seekingtruth: do you want to install a keylogger? [00:18] LjL, Well the official site of Ubuntu is www.ubuntu.com, you can also download via SSL and check out the SSL certificate before copying the MD5 hashcode [00:18] Prose: pls stay focused, you are drifing :P listren carefuly..... If I just use the LiveCD (NO WINE), how can a keylogger get into RAM? [00:19] seekingtruth: more to the point, a keylogger can be a C++ app that runs in the background.. you could compile your livecd to include that 'package' or download it once you ran livecd (of course, if you restart the system, the logger will drop out of RAM) [00:19] seekingtruth: you've been answered. [00:19] thesaint4444: no, im curious if Ubuntu LiveCD can get ingfected with a keylogger [00:19] seekingtruth: dude you need to read some books... [00:19] seekingtruth: you download one, you execute it, there it is in RAM. [00:19] Prose: you are off track! not listening! LISTEN CAREFULY................... If I just load LiveCD, and use it as is...... how can it get infected with a keylogger as you claim? [00:19] seekingtruth: the most obvious way is : you download a C script or an app that is downloaded INTO ram and is executed by ubuntu (or more likely by yourself) [00:20] seekingtruth: calm down now. this is even drifting into offtopic. you have been answered. [00:20] LjL: lol... [00:20] does anyone know if there is a more useful calendar then the default? [00:20] seekingtruth: step1. boot liveCD step2. while on livecd, download keylogger step 3 execute keylogger step4 be logged [00:20] most likely: it is running from another source. not delivered by the cd. [00:21] LjL: nobody answeered me, dont crap on. I never said about any C script downloaded. I asked,. if I run LiveCD and use it as is and browse the web, can it get infected with a keylogger [00:21] ech0dish, sunbird maybe [00:21] evoltuion has one [00:21] ech0dish, sunbird? [00:21] Prose: step2. while on livecd, download keylogger? how? [00:21] perhaps one that could replace the current calendar [00:21] does it work off the desktop? [00:21] seekingtruth, If you just download the official LiveCD and don't visit dodgy sites (preferrably with NoScript if you are paranoid about Javascript) with Firefox, you'll be pretty safe. [00:21] seekingtruth: step 2.1 open Firefox [00:21] seekingtruth: 2.2 find source (webpage, ftp server) for keylogger app [00:22] seekingtruth: 2.3 download said keylogger from webpage [00:22] echo6_, are you referring to the calendar attached to the clock in gnome? [00:22] ech0dish, it's not an applet for the desktop. it is a calendar from mozilla. [00:22] ah ic [00:22] yeah i'm looking for an applet for the desktop [00:23] too many echos [00:23] need help , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=911385 [00:23] something light [00:23] if i have to open up a program then i wont use it lol [00:24] can anyone help me with my wireless card issues? i cant seem to get my wireless card to connect to my router [00:24] ech0dish, Have you looked at all the Screenlets? I only use gDesklets because compiz doesn't agree with my graphics adapter but I think there's a calendar applet or two in there [00:24] ech0dish, maybe you can set it to remind you. I never tested it so far. [00:24] emilien, try setting the keyboard type in System => Keyboard [00:25] screenlets hrmm will try, yeah compiz don't work for me either [00:25] DarkShadow791: expand problem [00:25] Prose: I'm not sure how [00:25] will look at gdesklets too [00:25] ech0dish, and you can start it automatically when you start your gnome session - so you won't have to start it manually [00:25] my network manager whatever you call it doesnt see my wireless signal [00:25] ech0dish, if you're masochistic and you want to stay *really* light, you might go fro xclock [00:25] so i type it in manually [00:25] DarkShadow791: what works, what doesn't, step by step [00:26] and it uses wep protection. so i type in the password as well [00:26] hey, when ever i close my laptop lid and open it the screen stays black and i have to restart X to get any picture back, can anyone help me with this? === obi-wank is now known as carlose [00:26] then it tries to connect and never does anything [00:26] after a minute or two it asks me for a password again [00:26] hi [00:26] and repeats that over and over [00:26] but never actually connects [00:26] ech0dish, screenlets are a pain without compiz....every time I hit the "show desktop" button they disappear. The only fix I know that's available stops you being able to move them around with mouse. [00:26] am trying gdesklets [00:27] DarkShadow791, There are lot's of FAQ's on Wireless on the Ubuntu forums. But apart from that, what chipset does your Wireless NIC use? [00:27] perdon [00:27] perdon [00:27] how do i access the gdesklets? [00:27] jorrit, both xorg and gui are corect because at login it works [00:27] 03:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) [00:27] found it [00:28] buenas alguien prodia ayudarme tengo una pregunta que hacer [00:28] !es | carlose [00:28] carlose: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [00:28] one sec i've found yet another "how to get broadcom to work" tutorial i havent tried yet [00:28] i'll try this last one before returning [00:28] DarkShadow791, ouch!, Broadcom [00:28] jorrit, but whe gnome starts it add num pas =( [00:28] DarkShadow791: If you get it working I'd love to get a link to your guide [00:28] jorrit, pad [00:29] DarkShadow791: I have the same card and its on my to do list [00:29] powertool08: I doubt i'll be able to do it [00:29] ech0dish, yeah, gDesklets do the trick, but they look pretty standard compared to the screenlets unfortunately. Lack of 3d breaks my heart [00:29] i'm a novice linux user [00:29] and yes, ouch broadcom :( [00:30] emilien, I understand. So basically, Gnome borks the settings of your keyboard. That would be a Gnome Daemon. So if you want to change it, use Gnome tools to do so, such as under System => Keyboard [00:30] i'm upgrading my pc soon anyway but it'd be nice to try out ubuntu on this laptop for future use [00:30] oh btw whats a good irc client for linux [00:30] have a problem with my keyboard , when i login keyboard fine , but when gnome starts it adds num pad to keyboared how fix this [00:30] DarkShadow i have the exact wireless card you have! [00:30] pidgin doesnt work fairly well for irc :( [00:30] !irc > DarkShadow791 (DarkShadow791, see the private message from Ubotu) [00:30] DarkShadow791, please see my private message [00:30] Maczimus: can you get it to work?

[00:33] OzOr: at the very least, you will need to reinstall the linux kernel package, memtest, grub, and run update-grub [00:33] OzOr, you might try using the recovery option from the LiveCD from *the same version of Ubuntu* as you are using [00:33] Q: i am trying to install the vlc plugin for mozilla but dies with unment dependencies... how do i get it installed? [00:33] thanks for the suggestions [00:33] OzOr, np [00:34] OzOr: sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image memtest86+ grub ; sudo update-grub [00:34] OzOr: then tell us what you've got in /boot [00:34] when i use wine to try and emulate a windows program it comes up with an error that active x cant creat object [00:34] OzOr: actually, don't reinstall linux-image, reinstall the actual package for the version you had (see the "Depends" line of linux-image to see which one it is) [00:34] nat1: Wine Emulation is quite dodgy when it comes to ActiveX/ DirectX [00:35] so i cant use the program? [00:35] sorta needed it for class [00:35] nat1: Did you install it using Wine? [00:35] yea [00:35] is it possible to install anything, eg. firefox addons etc if a person runs the LiveCD? [00:36] lisa_: yes, as long as the RAM is enough [00:36] lisa_: of course, they will be lost at reboot [00:36] excellent :) [00:36] yes understand that, ty [00:36] Hi I have a problem dual booting hardy and osx86 [00:37] i have a grub folder and a memtest86+.bin file [00:37] can sum1 check this please [00:37] <_Zeus_> what's up?

[00:47] ckyle: [00:47] modify /etc/hosts [00:47] oops [00:47] _Zeus_, at login myy ky board works great , but when gnome starts my keybored is edited is there a way to turn of the deamon which does this [00:47] ckyle: that blocked nothing [00:47] i try it [00:47] use an entry like this: 127.0.1.1 ad.doubleclick.net [00:47] cruddpuppet: any creative partitioning? It probably stores the image in /tmp/ [00:47] the-ra: man sysctl.conf [00:48] Woah, wtf, my terminal went dark gray, I tried closing it and opening a new one, but it stays dark gray... [00:48] ckyle: i do that but, not worked [00:48] crdlb: Nope. I have enough free space wherever I should have [00:48] anyone use a replacement menu for the gnome menu? [00:48] whats a good replacement menu? [00:48] joshuajtl, You might try Enlightment, a different Window-manager, you can even run it on top of Gnome as E-Gnome [00:48] S-i-A: did you reboot? If you did and that didn't work, then paste your /etc/hosts to pastebin [00:49] jorrit: nah dont find it very intuitive [00:49] joshuajtl, OK, just start by saying what kind of functionality are you looking for [00:49] ckyle: need no paste bin is to short [00:50] ckyle: 127.0.1.1 XXXXX.org [00:50] That was just out of order. === Guest3279 is now known as Orbixx [00:50] jorrit: I like slab, but not sure if its the fastest right now... ? [00:50] is mozilla-mplayer a substitute for divx web player for mac/win? [00:50] that is all , in the /etc/host [00:51] yuri_: mozilla-totem [00:51] OK, some of the ops are just abusing their powers now. [00:51] S-i-A: thanks! [00:51] S-i-A: if you've rebooted, and that didn't work, then I don't know what else advice to offer. That's the only way I know how. [00:51] joshuajtl, Did you try WindowMaker, or WindowMaker2? I liked those, or Afterstep, an oldie, but very configurable [00:51] Guys, can you help me? [00:51] ckyle: yes dosn't worked [00:52] jorrit: just looking for a gnome menu replacement, not a window manager replacement [00:52] ,squid? [00:53] has anybody worked with openldap? I am trying to figure out how to work with it and so far can't... How do I log in (what do I specify as credentials with command line tools)? how does it work with permissions? [00:53] joshuajtl, sorry for the drifting on things you didn't want. I don't know any native Gnome menu replacement [00:53] anyone else use a gnome panel menu replacement? === Guest3279 is now known as Orbixx [00:55] whats a good app to convert wma to mp3? [00:55] Can anyone help me with scp from station1 (MacOSX) to station2 (Ubuntu 8.04)? SSH from station1 to station2 works, scp doesn't even when I try to write to the homedir of the user on station2 of which I use the login credentials. [00:56] I'd like to be able to rename a file the same way that I do in Windows. If it's on the desktop or in the file manager, I'd like to be able to select the file, then click the file-name a second time, to let me edit the label. Know of a way to do this in Ubuntu? thx [00:56] fvwmnet, Whoa, still using fvwm? It *is* fast. [00:57] ckyle: no, but how about F2? [00:57] cykle, try F2 to edit the label [00:57] wats the best audio video codec for ubuntu 8.04???? [00:57] Can somebody please point me in the direction of a howto for configuring wireless on Hardy using config files? I've had no joy with WICD and mixed success with Network_manager that I just want to do it by hand and have it work. [00:58] kaRnA, it all depends what kind of audio and video you want to use. [00:58] kaRna look up Medibuntu [00:58] Maczimus, yes, good one [00:58] anyone else use a gnome panel menu replacement? [00:59] i mean al video files like .avi.mgp and audio's like mp3,wav and all , let me check Medibuntu [00:59] is gnome 2.22 noticably different than the previous gnome release? [00:59] joshuajtl, I just curious, what is it that makes you want a menu panel replacement? [00:59] hey there... [00:59] yes kaRnA medibuntu will fix you up [00:59] has anyone here successfully installed ubuntu on a jffs2 filesystem before? I just got an ssd i'm installing 8.04 onto [00:59] jorrit: because I know there are ones i prefer that are quite popular as well... [01:00] joshuajtl, ... I >'m< just ... [01:00] joshuajtl, If you know the names, why don't you try to just download them and compile them if there are no packages for Ubuntu? [01:00] Maczimus, http://packages.medibuntu.org/ which one to download [01:01] jorrit: what command are you using for ssh, and have you tried clearing the rsa keys? [01:01] jorrit: i forgot the names I just came back to gnome from kde === RoflCoptrzZZ is now known as RoflCopter_AT [01:01] jorrit: scp in ssh [01:02] atid: The command I use for ssh is simply: ssh user@station2 Then it asks me for my password and lets me in. [01:03] hi, is it possible to reverse lookup a network passphrase from the 128bit WEP key? [01:03] jorrit: OK My method is to use the command scp :// [01:04] jorrit: the ssh stuff is automatic [01:04] atid: Yes, that's the same pattern I'm using. [01:04] is there a command to print what type of RAM i have? === dabofh is now known as bofh80 [01:05] Jorrit: if and when scp fails I usually just clear the rsa file and keys. The only other problem may be that the second computers IP tables or firewall is blocking the scp transfer. [01:05] looks like linuxmint is gaining some popularity [01:06] I didn't like mint. [01:06] atid: station2 is a virgin Ubuntu without any special firewall settings. [01:06] Yep. [01:06] The mint package system seemed pretty poor imho [01:06] atid: If the rsa keys are the problem, than SSH should fail as well, or not? [01:07] hi [01:07] m1dn1ght: really? i thought it was using the same as ubuntu [01:07] jorrit: probably [01:07] is there some way to enable the hid plugin or is it automatic ? [01:07] my problem ubuntu dell xps m1210 Nvidia f8 CRT/LCD [01:07] joshuajtl, mint has it's own mint packaging thing going on [01:07] atid: I have no problem whatsoever with plain ssh from my Mac to my Ubuntu station. [01:08] m1dn1ght: odd, so theyre moving away from ubuntu [01:08] joshuajtl, at least it did with Elyssa, which I tried [01:08] also is there some kind of 'Device Manager' i saw it on a forum but i can't find it on my install ? [01:08] jorrit: I remember on one machine that I had to install openssh before scp would work. Outside of that and what we have just discussed I have no other suggestions [01:09] joshuajtl, Yeah - pretty much everything else is Ubuntu based (obviously) but the package system which I figure to be one of the most important parts had it's own thing going on [01:09] jorrit: Sounds like you are doing things right. Maybe just clear the rsa keys for kicks and see if it works [01:09] atid: Thanks for your suggestions and your time [01:09] Hello, do we have widgets like in Vista? [01:09] jorrit: np [01:10] php6th yea , but it's called screenlets [01:10] whats' the best program for different backgrounds on different screens/virtual desktops? [01:10] php6th: Isn't Vista a widjet? :) [01:10] php6th, Yeah - try the "screenlets" package [01:10] ... [01:10] ckyle: itry with swuidguard, that dos'nt worked to. :( [01:10] php6th, Or gDesklets if you don't have compiz [01:10] *squidguard [01:13] what is the linux mint menu called for ubuntu? [01:14] joshuajtl, Don't know what you mean? [01:14] who are all of the ops for the ubuntu irc channels? [01:15] m1dn1ght: there is a version of the same menu that linux mint uses by default for ubuntu, but I dont know what its called [01:15] S-i-A, If you know the IP-range of the offending company, you could block the entire range in your routing table, sending any requests to that range to a non-existing IP-address [01:15] WastePotato: #ubuntu-ops is the place to go if you need to speak with the operators [01:16] mkay. [01:16] joshuajtl, Ah. Sorry mate, I'm not sure. Hopefully one of these other sages can clue you in. === PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid [01:17] hi [01:18] Does anyone know if there is a way for the window manager to always display new windows in front? [01:18] ah ubuntu system panel [01:18] atid, I tried wiping the rsa-entry on my Mac and sure enough it asked me to accept the rsa again. It still gives "permission denied" on my scp attempt. [01:20] Is there any channel that you know of which focusses on SSH/ SCP? [01:20] Anybody else here using a thinkpad? [01:20] !anyone | puff [01:20] puff: 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? [01:20] hi all!!! [01:21] BurnedBrain, Hello! [01:21] Hi, BurnedBrain. Welcome to #ubuntu :-) [01:21] BurnedBrain, hi [01:21] Flannel: Because I've asked the question in the past, and got no answer, becuase it's a quesiton only relevant to thinkpad users. === Guest59020 is now known as siqq [01:21] some people told me to use aptitude instead of apt-get, because apt-get sometime produces errors in the database, is this correct? is aptitude better then apt-get? [01:21] how many ppl in this chan.....wow! [01:21] puff: Different people are awake at different times. And that's exactly why you should ask the original question first. [01:22] DIFH-iceroot: no. [01:22] jorrit: reference the scp and ssh issue. Just remembered: check that you have both the ssh client and server running on both machines. [01:22] puff, yes one of my systems is a thinkpad. [01:22] jorrit: Supposedly, Mac installs them by default but you have to turn the services on [01:22] atid, I've checked using ps -e. Both machines have both client and server running [01:22] I have a thinkpad t43p. I had a lot of problems with the more recent ubuntu kernel (2.6.18 IRRC) when I upgraded a month or so ago. They appeared to be thinkpad-specific and reportedly related to the kernel upgrade, never did solve them. But then hardware problems ended up requiring me to rebuild everything anyway, so I've just avoided upgrading past the installed version. [01:22] puff: If you ask "anyone use a thinkpad?" and in 20 minutes someone wakes up who does, they say "yes" and then 20 minutes later you get that, and actually answer your question, and then 20 minutes later they actually answer it. Etc. Vs Asking the question, waiting 20 minutes, and getting an answer. [01:23] precioso de ajuda [01:23] jorrit: hmmm... at another loss here, then. [01:23] puff: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [01:23] Flannel: Or asking the question, waiting 20 minutes and not getting an answer? :-) === atid is now known as aitd [01:23] puff: That's a possibility too. But you see the benefit to just asking. [01:24] jgedeon: Are you familiar with the problem I ran into, and do you have any idea if it's fixed yet? [01:24] !br | hadez_ [01:24] hadez_: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português. Obrigado. [01:24] puff, I noticed the same thing and went back to the prior kernel. [01:24] como eu fasso isso [01:24] to start ssh is it: /etc/init.d/ssh start ?? [01:24] atid: I think you might have something there. My SSH server might be running on my Mac, but it doesn't accept any connections from my Ubuntu station. Thxs! now I know what path I should take to the solution of this. [01:25] 7001 [01:25] LnxSlck_, if it isn't already started. [01:25] jgedeon, i'm trying to ssh a friend of mine pc.. and it says command not found [01:25] but he has ssh installed [01:26] electric sheep [01:26] who says command not found your system or his? [01:27] tampa.fl.us.undernet org [01:27] what is the search command [01:27] jgedeon, his [01:27] Area_51: grep [01:27] LnxSlck_, on his system just run sudo apt-get install openssh-server [01:27] so i have a genius tablet running on latest ubuntu; it 'kinda' works, in taht the derivaties are taken in properly -- if i move the pen left, the tablet mouse cursor moves left; it also appears that pressure sensing is working -- in gimp, if i press the pen harder, i get bigger circles; the problem however, is that the _absolute_ coordiantes seems to be sorta randomized; i.e. a single point on the tablet's drawing area seems to map to different points on the scre [01:27] thank you [01:27] grep electric sheep [01:29] amigo como eu entro no ubuntu br [01:30] hadez_, /j #ubuntu-br [01:30] hadez_, toca /join #ubuntu-br [01:31] obrigado amigos [01:31] hadez_, de nada ;-) [01:32] all ubuntu users here? [01:32] nah, I'm using Windows ME [01:32] !eletric sheep [01:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about eletric sheep [01:32] BurnedBrain, yes, but I also use MacOsX and FluxBoxOS (other Distro) [01:32] Flannel: Hardy 8.0.4, kernel 2.6.24-16. The problem was, IIRC, 2.6.24-18. [01:32] Reilwin, rofl [01:32] yep..just a question! [01:33] someone using slackware? [01:33] BurnedBrain, yes [01:33] cool! [01:33] Wie kann ich die Cookies von FF 3 ( liegen in der Datei: cookies.sqlite ) verändern? [01:34] Pfirsich, >> ubuntu-de [01:34] OMG GUYS! [01:34] lol! [01:34] I just accidently my whole internet. [01:34] wut do i do now? [01:34] How can I change the cookies from FF 3 (located in the file: cookies.sqlite)? [01:34] i think something is wrong [01:35] Pfirsich, You can change them easily with any Add-on that can edit cookies. [01:35] bye guys! [01:35] see ya! [01:35] BurnedBrain, bye! [01:35] How do I disable system beep [01:35] Picasa 3 works really well with Wine. :-)( [01:35] jorrit: Can you say me the name? [01:36] m_newton System -> Settings -> sounds then look (third tab i believe) [01:36] Maczimus, nah.... can I get some thing via terminal Please [01:36] Pfirsich, something like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4510 [01:36] m_newton: some older apps may still beep 'xset b 0 0 0 ' should set those to off, (if you use any of the older apps or the terminals) [01:36] Maczimus, I have intrepid and things are not goin well [01:36] oh dunno that sorry [01:36] m_newton: echo stfu > /etc/beep.conf [01:37] Pfirsich, Sorry, only for older versions, moment... [01:37] jorrit: But it must work in FF 3 :( [01:37] fuck [01:37] !language [01:37] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:37] Hi [01:38] Pfirsich, https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/573 [01:38] RyanPrior, no such file [01:38] Is there a ubuntu port for arm eabi [01:38] Pfirsich, of course I got that just by Googling for it ... O_o [01:38] m_newton: I was joking, but it wasn't a very good joke. It would be nice if it worked. :-) [01:39] Ohhh, I love you, excuse my words but I have been looking for 2 hours after the manure. [01:39] whats the command to restart php in ubuntu? [01:39] RyanPrior, actually I thought it might work... make a file called stfu with the beep config... [01:39] Pfirsich, no problem, but please mind your language [01:40] how do i list attached usb drives? [01:40] m_newton, nice name for that script, I love it. [01:40] i just plugged an external into my command-line machine and i want to mount it [01:40] but don't know if it's at /sda or what [01:40] pyrak: dmesg should mention it at the end.. or sudo fdisk -l, [01:40] Brucee: PHP is an interpreter - it gets restarted for each script it runs. [01:41] Brucee: If you're using mod_php, then you have to restart Apache. [01:41] ahh sorry.. apache i meant.. [01:41] whwats the command to restart apache [01:41] ? [01:41] Brucee: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart [01:41] ty [01:42] Pfirsich, My Google query went like this: "firefox 3 cookie editing" first hit was already a success. [01:42] pyrak: lsusb [01:42] thanks RyanPrior that worker ;-) [01:43] i have to close music player when im trying to watch youtube videos if not i cant hear sound, how can i solve this? [01:43] agento: You cry. Unfortunately, nobody has a good solution for that right now. [01:43] hey guys, who has really used GParted other then the version used on the live CD [01:43] jorrit: I have sorche in my Language and this was very bad. Lots of thanks ^^ [01:44] Pfirsich, Don't mention it, As you might have seen, English is not my primary language either. [01:44] ??? [01:44] !patience | shadowmancer [01:44] shadowmancer: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines === ph0rensi1 is now known as phorensic [01:45] sorry [01:45] i forgive you :P [01:45] shadowmancer, I have. I have an updated version running, why? [01:45] is it standart, that /system/system.../Deamons gives a authentication error? [01:46] well i am trying to resize the partition on an external (internal in an external housing) 500gig ext3 formatted hdd and its saying its unallocated [01:47] RyanPrior: agento while probably not a "solution"... I've found switchign my system sounds to use Alsa, and switching all applications to use Alsa, has defeated the problem w/ Youtube and hearing other sounds. [01:47] shadowmancer, If there's still a partition on your disk, did you try mounting it using an alternate superblock? [01:47] If I have 4gb memory and running 32bit, what kind of swap do I need to hibernate? There is no swapless hibrnation yet in Ubuntu? [01:47] IndyGunFreak, so everything to alsa? === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Nninja [01:48] agento: thats what i did... all fo my apps are set to alsa, and i have all preferences set to alsa in my system sound prefs. [01:48] im not using swap at all :a [01:48] jorrit: i'm sorry to say i don't really know how, i'm not exactly that savy with many of the things within ubuntu, i just use it to program and i haven't really used it for much else [01:48] IndyGunFreak, thanks ill give it a try [01:49] nnull: Does hibernation work for you? [01:49] agento: like i said, it may not be for everyone, but I find alsa just fine for my needs. === LSD|Nninja is now known as LSD|Ninja [01:49] Ienorand, havent tried it [01:49] shadowmancer, Here's a link for you:http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/mounting-with-an-alternative-superblock.html [01:49] agento: and hopefully one day, Pulse will catch up so it won't be necessary, but for now, that's all we can suggest [01:50] jorrit: will doing this have any effect on my hard drive, because its a drive i use to backup my work, and want to use as a place to boot windows from and don't want to mess up any of the data [01:50] shadowmancer, mounting is non-destructive if you use the proper filesystem. [01:52] jorrit: how do i know what superblock i want to mount it on [01:52] -list fdisk = [01:52] shadowmancer, that depends on how the ext3 partitiion is formatted (cluster size) [01:52] jorrit: how do i find that out === PatchLevel is now known as Guest27326 === emcepe is now known as mcp [01:53] shadowmancer, did you try sudo fdisk -l === PatchLevel2 is now known as PatchLevel [01:53] shadowmancer, it gives a wealth of info and -l is only reading, no writing. [01:54] jorrit: how do i find the cluster size from the output [01:54] Question remains: 4gb memory on 32bit, amount of swap to hibernate? 3.5gb? No swapless hibernation yet in Ubuntu? [01:54] the volume up/down buttons on my thinkpad don't seem to generate keypress/release events, just keymapnotify ones (according to xev). i can map it to a keyboard shortcut (XF86AudioRaiseVolume) in xfce, but it doesn't ever seem to execute the shortcut. how do i fix this? [01:54] Hi. My problem is that whenever I open a link from within a program, it opens in Seamonkey rather than Firefox. The 'Preferred Applications' window says Firefox is the default. How can I make it this way in practice? [01:55] Hey ya'll [01:55] bazz: what model of thinkpad is it? on mine they seem to control volume independantly of the OS [01:56] CyberCod: Samehere. [01:56] bazz: works fine on this T61 [01:56] hi folks, how do you all install dvd playback and other nonfree stuff? with medibuntu? [01:56] I think it is something in the bios or built into the bios maybe [01:56] not regular keys [01:57] shadowmancer, dumpe2fs -h /dev/hdb5 | grep "Block size" [01:57] joshuajtl: yeah [01:57] cool thanks [01:57] shadowmancer, where /dev/jdb5 is your own drive [01:57] CyberCod: Idaknow, it displays a graphical volume icon, that suggests GUI integration to me. [01:57] CyberCod: they work fine in gnome, but not in xfce [01:58] must be different models [01:58] mine's kinda old [01:58] a21m [01:58] a22m [01:58] something like that [01:58] CyberCod: you got em working in xfce? [01:58] jorrit: it couldn't find the super block, and i did retype it in context to my external [01:59] bazz: then go into gnome and see which key mappings it uses? :) [01:59] intrepid hasnt been released has it? [01:59] CyberCod: Mine's a t43p. [01:59] shingen: it's not generating a mapping, it's generating a keynotifyevent [01:59] jorrit: i just noticed the naming conventions my external uses is sdb does that matter [01:59] Dose anyone know what driver I need for a Zonet ZEW1642 PIC Wifi Card? [01:59] bazz: no, but there's no volume popup either, and there's a bios option to turn on/off a beep when changing volume [01:59] shadowmancer, Yes it does, you need to address the right drive (device) before you can get any info about it. [02:00] CyberCod: ahh, so you're saying it does change the volume, you just don't get an osd [02:00] this is the output of one of my partitions: sudo dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda5 | grep "Block size" [02:00] dumpe2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) [02:00] Block size: 4096 [02:00] right [02:00] i want to hack my neighbors wifi so i can download stuff without it being traced back to me. anyone got some suggestions? [02:01] it is independant of the volume control app also [02:01] cool. well somehow gnome is managing to notice when i press them. guess i'll have to hack around a bit more [02:01] i'd also like to perhaps not have to pay for internet no more lol [02:01] joshuajtl: It should be on schedule for October. [02:01] ok, it gave me the same [02:01] !offtopic | ech0dish [02:01] ech0dish: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:01] so how do i use that [02:01] lol aight [02:01] ech0dish: that's not welcomed in any ubuntu channel actually [02:01] oh [02:01] meh ok [02:02] know a channel it's welcome in? [02:02] ech0dish: and we'll be sending a guy in a black suit to your door any minute now :P [02:02] jrib: how do I go about installing everything i need after adding the medibuntu repository? [02:02] ech0dish: nope [02:02] ech0dish: Nowhere on Freenode. [02:02] !medibuntu > joshuajtl [02:02] joshuajtl, please see my private message [02:02] ah ok [02:02] lol well i aint done nothing yet [02:02] Luigi: You may need to manually change the html association. [02:02] besides wanting to learn [02:02] I get "No candidate version found for libdvdcss2" when trying to install libdvdcss2 no Hardy.. any idea how to fix it? [02:02] how do i figure out what kenerl module is providing me the dta from 'cat /dev/input/mouse4' (it's actually a tablet device) [02:02] ech0dish: don't be stupid and ask questions like that without your address being masked :P [02:02] cn28h: have you enabled the medibuntu repository? [02:02] shadowmancer, if you use sudo dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdb1 you should get all the alternate superblocks for that partition [02:03] ech0dish: You're welcome to stay and talk about other things.

[03:46] Gnea: seriously, why would someone spend 15 mins document a problem that apparently no one gave a crap about?

[04:09] vengefulpete, ok, let me know if more is needed, i can edit [04:10] joejoecircusboy, I would also have him restart networking.... [04:10] [3~[3~ [04:10] jgedeon: the arp command will tell us if this is a layer 2, or a layer 3 problem [04:10] Cobra_: what account options do you want to change?

[04:11] I think I see what could be the problem [04:11] Anacranom, i would guess he means that it would be too unsecure [04:11] Cobra_: please, just say what the problem you're having with ubuntu is. nobody is getting paid here, so if you want to be respected, you're going to have to show some respect. [04:12] Anybody ever encountered the following dependancy problem: [04:12] kbd: This is a layer 3 problem.. Are you running a firewall on the Ubuntu box? [04:12] 'openmoko-today2', 'dbus-glib', 'dbus-glib-native', 'dbus-native', 'dbus-native-x11' [04:12] vengefulpete, have you forwarded the port-to-ip on the router? [04:12] somehow, the static IP from the first configuration of /etc/network/interfaces for eth1 is not the ip it currently has [04:12] joejoecircusboy: ufw [04:12] kbd: Can you stop the firewall and try the ping? [04:12] I have 8GB of ram and running Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit version, but when I run System Monitor it shows the amount the as 7.7 GiB....on Vista it shows as 8GB [04:13] it sees the router now. [04:13] kbd: I think something like '/etc/init.d/iptables stop' will do the trick [04:13] I'm having trouble mounting a JFS partition. Anyone? [04:13] the ping works, surprise [04:13] kbd: So your firewall ruleset needs fixing === alx1881 is now known as aljandr0 [04:14] Anacranom, I was simply saying you don't want to run 2 vnc servers on the same port.... [04:14] Allow icmp === aljandr0 is now known as alejandr0 [04:14] * kbd investigates his before file [04:14] 2? [04:14] i needs help:D [04:14] slhommed, 2? [04:14] joejoecircusboy, have you ever used fwbuilder for your IPtables on Ubuntu? [04:14] he stated that he already was running tightvnc server [04:15] jgedeon: yeah, it's pretty slick (though I don't use it currently) [04:15] <^Co_Ckp_Keabisan> #join malang [04:15] am ready to ask u the question here [04:15] here ... i have a problem .....i changed the home folder for the account i have ....and now when i enter it again it tells me ".dmrc file must not be accessible by other users " [04:15] hm, when trying to re-enable it, ERROR: problem running init script [04:15] slhommed, thats same one i run and suggest? [04:15] Ping0, ask your question [04:15] kbd: I wouldn't bother with a firewall at all [04:15] arz [04:15] okay [04:16] So, i installed the Ubuntu using the "install within windows" option [04:16] * jgedeon floored by joejoecircusboy's comment [04:16] Anacranom, i am trying a different way that seems to be working but authentication failure over and over, i changed the pass and tried, still failure === chall is now known as c0n [04:16] :/ [04:16] well, im trying to get some files off of the windows directory, but idk how to find it [04:16] china [04:16] joejoecircusboy, why would you say that? [04:16] u see ....nobody respond to me [04:16] it's a dumb question, but im pretty new to linux >,< [04:16] Also, i dont see it in my computer, since i didn't do a partition, cause this can be removed from within windows from wht the option says === m8i-f3a-s4a is now known as m8i-freya [04:17] hello, could anyone help me out with error 22 on grub [04:17] Cobra_:> If one knows, one may answer you. No one here is obligated tho. [04:18] Ok [04:18] jgedeon: 1. His Ubuntu system is not directly connected to the Internet. (It's behind a nat box/) 1. the Default Ubuntu install does not have any network listeners that need blocking [04:18] Do yall thik its possible to lauch a installer via NFS onto a system started up over bootp [04:18] vengefulpete, there are 2 authentications when vnc, 1st is to get to the box, thats the one you set up when you enable remote desktop, the 2nd is your user password [04:18] it is imperative I complete this firewall build, there is a fleet of computers which run various misc operating systems I will not have the time or energy to protect invidually [04:18] Anacranom: http://www.movingtofreedom.org/2007/02/16/howto-remote-desktop-with-vnc-in-ubuntu-edgy-gnu-linux/ [04:18] oops [04:19] vengefulpete: http://www.movingtofreedom.org/2007/02/16/howto-remote-desktop-with-vnc-in-ubuntu-edgy-gnu-linux/ [04:19] kbd: Oh, this Ubuntu install is intended to be an internet gateway/router? [04:19] Those are the best instructions I've found -- they still work for Hardy [04:19] correct [04:19] kbd, does /etc/init.d/ufw restart work? [04:19] shlommed? [04:19] although gdm is at /etc/gdm [04:19] any one here play much with bootp? [04:20] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/43805/ [04:20] yawn [04:20] jgedeon: nein :( [04:20] am i still here? [04:21] no, you left [04:21] did you try the -restore? [04:21] kbd: Well, that's a completely different story... in which case I question your use of Ubuntu ;) [04:21] pete, you're still here [04:21] well, honestly, smoothwall is a piece of (wait for it......) crap [04:21] i thought people were being quiet, turned out i dced [04:22] whats a pos? [04:22] hello, could anyone help me out with error 22 on grub [04:22] joejoecircusboy, could be a user that is going to install untangle on it.... [04:22] kbd: oh crap! you're so banned!! :p [04:22] * jgedeon agrees [04:22] Ping0, you are trying to get files from a remote windows computer or a windows partition on the local machine? [04:23] kbd: I was thinking more CentOS.... more appropriate for a server build [04:23] Untangle can now be setup on an ubuntu server. [04:23] local mashine [04:23] 98% or our servers are now Ubuntu servers. [04:23] Cpudan80, have you reviewed this? http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=40&Itemid=63 [04:23] jgedeon: yes, it can... (you can use Windows as a firewall too)... it's just not the best choice, IMO [04:23] i got vnc to connect this time, now to figure out how to do it through ssh from outside my network... [04:24] ...and to get the password to accept [04:24] Windows as a firewall is just a hunnypot! LOL [04:24] Anacranom: That isnt really VNC [04:24] jgedeon: lol, ya [04:25] Anacranom: That is more or less equivalent to Win XPs remote help thing === patrick is now known as Guest19629 [04:25] vengefulpete, -via [04:25] functionally there is no difference between ubuntu and some other linux distro (unless it has flask stuff or what not...) as a firewall [04:25] Anacranom: The link I posted will let you login (without an active session) and get a full GUI [04:25] Anacranom, put the -via on server or client? [04:26] if people cannot figure out how to use ubuntu then maybe they should use linspire [04:26] Hey guy's i was just wondering if someone could help me try and get GRUB to work with vista's bootloader on two drives. [04:26] kbd: As in, end capability? You're right.. there isn't.. but there isn't any end-capability difference between Linux and WIndows either... it's just a matter of how easy it is to do various tasks on each platform [04:26] Slhommed [04:26] I found it, nm bud [04:26] ty [04:26] Either way if worse comes to worse you should be able to reinstall the IPtables or UFW or what ever you want to use. [04:26] bobdeal [04:26] I get an Error 23 "Drive Does Not Exist" when i try to install the bootloader onto the drive ubuntu is on [04:26] bodoel [04:27] joejoecircusboy: actually, there are some pcap ppl who might argue differently [04:27] Cpudan80, please, come by my channel and discuss it anytime,,, i would like to know more but is OT here,, welcome always to #SeaPhor [04:27] bobdoel - the easiest thing to do would be install windows crap first then install ubuntu [04:27] Hello. I can't find my trash folder anymore. [04:27] kbd: You can always write your own driver ;) [04:27] I have already. [04:28] hello, could anyone help me out with error 22 on grub [04:28] so after this you cannot boot ubuntu? [04:28] It used to be at /home/gabriel/.trash but it's gone. [04:28] vengefulpete, try Cpudan80 's suggestion first, mine works for me but may not be best [04:28] you must've sent your trash folder to the trash and it's in an infinite loop [04:28] or u cannot boot windows [04:28] Is there a way to truncate long file names on the desktop? When I have a folder with a name of 60+ characters, it really tends to make the desktop look cluttered... I would prefer to have it display a small portion of the name and let me hover/click on it for the rest... [04:28] !trash | Munchkinguy [04:28] Munchkinguy: 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 [04:28] devron6, Negative. I can boot into windows because that drive still contains the windows bootloader. [04:28] so jgedeon what should I do? [04:28] I am just unable to get grub working [04:28] ckyle: I can do trash:/// in nautilus but I can't find it in real life. [04:29] Cpudan80, what was ur suggestion? =o [04:29] vengefulpete: http://www.movingtofreedom.org/2007/02/16/howto-remote-desktop-with-vnc-in-ubuntu-edgy-gnu-linux/ [04:29] Munchkinguy, ^^ [04:29] kbd, that is personal preference. [04:29] vengefulpete: All works, except that gdm is at /etc/gdm (not whatever it says on the article) [04:29] its at ~/.local/share/Trash [04:30] usser: Thanks! [04:30] Cpudan80, Anacranom: ty both, i will try both and eventually figure it out or give up ^_^ [04:30] bobdoel,did you install ur bootloader on the same drive as windows? [04:30] kbd, I personally use IPtables and FWBuilder to edit them with an Untangle Gateway to my home network. [04:30] BobDoel, since windows wants its hd to be the first visibile disk you will have to switch the hd order in the bios if you expect grub to boot from another drive, and you could have grub boot windows using the map command [04:30] BobDoel, GRUB? [04:31] Ahh but GRUB does come up, i can just load my BIOS's boot menu and select it. [04:31] yes grub, you can do one or two things as venger said u can change the disk of ubuntu and load it first [04:31] It just gives me an error when i select a partition to boot from. [04:31] or you can reinstall ubuntu and install grub on ur windows drive [04:31] which will use grub to boot both windows and linux [04:31] The drive or the partition windows is on? [04:31] well alright, I guess I can always reinstall [04:32] kbd: Agreed, FWBuilder is really nice [04:32] kbd: Why reinstall? [04:32] is there a way to mute system sounds in ubuntu ? [04:32] I have nForce 650i Ultra 775 T1 motherboard. On my case there is a cable from mic/headphone on front panel that has two ends on it....one says ac /97 and the other says HD Audio. The motherboard has a header that says FP Audio. Do I plug in the AC 97 end or the HD audio end onto mobo? [04:32] well, I am pretty certain I messed something up in the install [04:32] kbd: why? [04:32] joejoecircusboy, I don't think he is talking about reinstalling the OS [04:32] oh! [04:33] Just UFW or IPtables. [04:33] Atleast I also hope not. LOL [04:33] hey i want to make an alias kj="" permanent [04:33] because eth1 was configured as static [04:33] kbd: There's no need to reinstall the OS [04:33] how do i make it not be forgotten [04:33] kbd, you corrected that. It is fine. [04:33] you didnt hate my interfaces file? [04:33] kbd: It's fine [04:33] Currently, the AC97 is plugged in. Seems to work fine with speakers plugged into back....but when I plug in headphones they dont work unless I enable the headphones switch under volume control in ubuntu. But when I play Call of Duty 2 I only hear some of the sounds through the headphones.....not all of the sounds like I do through the speakers. [04:34] where did I go wrong then, I wonder? [04:34] /etc/init.d/network restart will remove the static settings after you changed the file back do dhcp. [04:34] jgedeon: did you see the error msg for that? [04:34] Which you already did. [04:34] Any ideas???? [04:34] kbd, what error? [04:34] Hello, can anyone pastebin the modelines for the Darter 3 system76 laptop? [04:35] i want to make >> alias mkfile="echo '' >" always be there [04:35]  I have nForce 650i Ultra 775 T1 motherboard. On my case there is a cable from mic/headphone on front panel that has two ends on it....one says ac /97 and the other says HD Audio. The motherboard has a header that says FP Audio. Currently, the AC97 is plugged in. Seems to work fine with speakers plugged into back....but when I plug in headphones they dont work unless I enable the headphones switch under volume control in ubu [04:35] hey anybody know how to make pbuilder search in universe for dendencies? [04:35] Hello ubuntu ppl, a friend of mine is having a hard time with ubuntu install, but I'm not there with him, and am not very familiar with the installer of ubuntu (I'm a debian guy myself..) [04:35] I can hear some shots being fired for example....but not my own gun firing. Turn on speakers and I can hear all sounds fine. [04:35] <[SilverFox]> http://www.ustream.tv/channel/spore-in-canada dudes watch me fucking play spore YEAH MAN YEAH! [04:36] jgedeon: when I restarted ufw, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/43805/ [04:36] By the message I get (Disk boot failure), I can tell that Windows bootloader is in the mbr... but my friend chose the full disk install [04:36] why does he have this message? [04:36] I'm having some trouble with dvd playback. whenever i insert a dvd, totem pops up and says "cannot read from resource". vlc and other players say the same. can't find anything online. any ideas? [04:36] kbd, yes. you can apt-get remove --purge ufw and then apt-get install ufw if you want. [04:37] i wonder if sysctl was marred [04:37] kbd, I thought we were talking about your /etc/networkj/interfaces file [04:37] I'm having cups problems: cups says usb printer is on-line but printing test page doesn't do anything, the printer doesn't budge [04:37] kbd: Your ruleset has a syntax error [04:38] hello , I just installed hardy heron ... 8.04 lts for 64 bit laptop and it went flawlessly except the wireless internet card isn't working properly...... how would i enable the restricted drivers ?

[04:40] elik: haha np np! ;) [04:40] I did have to connect to the wired cable modem at my house first [04:40] ahtmly2k: wget [04:40] thank u [04:40] ahtmly2k: youre welcome :) [04:41] I'm having some trouble with dvd playback. whenever i insert a dvd, totem pops up and says "cannot read from resource". vlc and other players say the same. can't find anything online. any ideas? hardy 64bit, system 76 serp. [04:41] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/43816/ [04:41] Isn't hardy heron supposed to install grub in the MBR? [04:41] here's my before.rules [04:41] elik: as far as i know, yes. [04:42] elik: but if i remember well, the installer gives the option to NOT install it in the MBR; maybe ure friend selected that [04:42] andresj, A friend of mine just completed his install and he's getting the Disk boot failure error... which is very much like Windows MBR [04:42] Could anyone help me get my systme76 darter working? I reinstalled Ubuntu 8.04 and now X has the wrong monitor information. Could anyone post the sytem76 darter factory default xorg.conf? [04:43] elik: yes maybe it was that option (which im not 100% sure still exists, though) [04:43] Help! X continously crashes with these errors in the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/43815/ I changed my screen resolution and restarted to save changes and it crashes now [04:43] andresj, any way to know where he could have changed that or something, without starting an install myself? [04:44] hy [04:44] elik: asking here to somebody who is familar with the installation process :) [04:44] Anyone installed Ubuntu recently? [04:45] i have [04:45] full install, or dual boot? [04:45] but i am a noob [04:45] full install [04:45] :) [04:45] on two laptops [04:45] you know what MBR is, or grub? [04:45] yep [04:45] no partition is found, error 22 on grub, what can i do? [04:45] so you're not such a noob ;) [04:46] patrickmn, you know what option need to be chosen to create the mbr properly? [04:46] been hanging from the microsoft tree for a while [04:46] kbd: still there? [04:46] i selected the middle option on install [04:46] wiping the whole drive [04:46] it does a proper setup [04:46] what os on the machine before? [04:47] so that's the partition setup? [04:47] a partially installed WinXP [04:47] its an automated version [04:47] you mean? [04:48] boot up the machine with the xp setup and get to the portion to choose what partition to install xp to, then delete all partions [04:48] alejandr0, boot the CD and reinstall grub? [04:48] then reboot with ubuntu disk [04:48] you think that would help? [04:49] cause that's the 2nd part of the problem, WinXP installer makes the machine reboot... [04:49] yep, it also works to clear the newer ntfs for vista drives too [04:49] venger: i boot the cd but dont know how to reinstall grub [04:49] Cause I mean, if you tell linux to take the whole disk... previous install or not should not matter [04:49] elik: what do you mean that the xp installer makes your system reboot, do you get a blue screen? [04:49] hi,you can do nothing after boot with ubuntu cd, just click next ...at last ubuntu install process should reinstall your GRUB. [04:50] patrickmn, hum, dunno, not there... but most likely [04:50] patrickmn, but honestly, screw windows :D just want to get that Ubuntu working [04:51] patrickmn, otherwise, you know if you can livecd boot on the install cd? [04:51] elik: yep [04:51] cups cups cuuuups [04:51] patrickmn, ok, gonna do some chmod, grub-install magic [04:51] Trying to remove a broken package; dpkg -P --force-all still says he pre-remove script failed... what now? [04:52] zcat[1]: what package? [04:52] Greetings! [04:52] cups cups ? [04:52] greetins [04:52] broken install of msttcorefonts btw; for some reason it things it's supposed to use http://:8080/ as a proxy [04:52] I get error: C compiler cannot create executables [04:52] I added build-essential to no avail [04:52] elik: just the other day i downloaded hardy after genuine advantage declared my laptop with an oem xp home was not valid, the sticker on the bottom says its a valid copy [04:53] alejandr0, if the ubuntu cd doesn't have a rescue mode to which a menu gives and option to reinstall grub, then you would want to mount your root partition then create a chroot and use grub-install, update-grub as appropriate [04:53] can anyone tell me why I get error: C compiler cannot create executables [04:53] Buenas noches amigos que tal, les tengo una pregunta para ver si porfavor me pueden ayudar... Mañana tengo un examen de certificacion linux y quisiera que me dijeran algo q no recuerdo como hago para crear un archivo con la orden echo [04:53] !b-e | carrera [04:53] carrera: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [04:53] how do i tell gnome to always open windows in the center of the screen instead of random positions? [04:53] thanks zcat[1] [04:53] zcat[1]: the pre-remove scripts are in /var/lib/dpkg/info [04:53] mgonzalez #ubuntu-es [04:53] carrera: probably because you need the package build-essential, not just gcc [04:54] zcat[1], as I said earlier, I added build-essential to no avail [04:54] zcat[1]: find the one for msttcorefonts, and add an 'exit 0' near the beginning to skip out [04:54] whats the difference between ubuntu LTS and from the normal ubuntu upgrade? [04:54] venger: ubuntu cant find my root partition [04:54] alejandr0: ouch [04:55] hardy 64bit has recently started Hardy locking out of the blue [04:55] alejandr0: does the drive recognize in the bios? [04:55] also, how do i set gnome-terminal to always open with a specific size? [04:55] alejandr0, you mean it doesn't automount it? or that linux doesn't see it with , say , dmesg | grep sd ? [04:55] ljsoftnet: LTS stands for "Long Term Support", which simply means that an LTS release will be maintained longer (i.e. maintained in the form of new patches, etc) [04:55] zcat[1], any other ideas? [04:55] ljsoftnet: It doesn't really mean much, unless you plan on using the same Ubuntu install for several years (because you're using it as a server, for example) [04:55] @joejoecircusboy how about the normal upgrade? [04:56] venger: got 2 hds, main hd nowhere to be found [04:56] Ok, I need help with PulseAudio. I tried to remove it, and now Amarok will play one song and then it says xine cannot load an audio driver. [04:56] alejandr0, confirm the drive spins up and you bios sees it [04:56] ljsoftnet: the upgrade process is the same in either case, LTS is just referring to the support lifetime of the release (8.04 is an LTS release.. there is no non-LTS version of 8.04) [04:56] ok [04:56] ljsoftnet c comme ca [04:56] help I defined a link and set the file association to a program unfortunately its set ALL links to this association how do I revert back to nil association pse? [04:56] anyone have any good tips/tricks/tutorials for a beginner linux user [04:57] ok, changed all the pre and postinstall scripts to exit 0 ... and removed the package. tried to install it again and back to trying to use http://:8080 as a proxy. where the hell is that coming from? [04:57] any python programmer? [04:57] who wishes to progress his knowledge in... whatever [04:57] zcat[1]: all? or just the msttcorefonts scripts? [04:57] midoboss ask [04:57] midoboss: I know a bit [04:57] @joejoecircusboy: i mean whats the difference between upgrading from 8.04 LTS to 8.10 and not upgrading it? [04:58] no private midoboss [04:58] darkshadow791: i am new to ubuntu also [04:58] joejoecircusboy: just msttcorefonts I think [04:58] DarkShadow791, http://www.linuxjournal.com/ http://www.linux-mag.com/ http://linuxreviews.org/index.html.en [04:59] how do I mark a superblock as clean so that JFS will mount? [04:59] ljsoftnet: well, two things: 1. 8.10 is alpha software... don't do that! 2. when 8.10 is release, it will only be supported for 12 months (I think)... which means if there is a security flaw in Linux 12+ months in the future, the will fix it in 8.04 (because it has long term support), but not in 8.10 (which is a regular, short-life release) [05:00] venger: bios doesnt recognize main hard drive [05:00] zcat[1]: I would double check that, else you may make your life very difficult in the future :) [05:00] zcat[1]: regarding http proxy.... if you do an 'echo $http_proxy', what do you get? [05:00] I'm having some trouble with dvd playback. whenever i insert a dvd, totem pops up and says "cannot read from resource". vlc and other players say the same. can't find anything online. any ideas? hardy 64bit, system 76 serp. [05:00] alejandr0, make sure cables, both ends are seated well, does it still spin up? had you changed any settings recently? [05:00] alejandr0: you may be out of luck with that partiular drive [05:01] zcat[1], I've already installed build-essential to no avail. Any other ideas? [05:01] patricmn: what can i do? [05:01] I got a cups problem to solve, it's on sale for the most motivated person, cups problem, do I see interest? you there in the back, is that interest you're waiving around ?

[05:02] ahtmly2k: wget downlds to your current dire [05:02] stickboy, did you install the ubuntu-restricted-formats package? [05:02] ech0dish: mv old new [05:02] so cd to the dir u want [05:02] thanks [05:02] ah... [05:02] alejandr0: just make sure the cables are correctly connected and see if the drive spins at all. thats a start [05:02] ech0dish: remember that `cd /; mv /home/me/something else` will move the file to /else [05:02] ok [05:02] ty [05:03] joejoecircusboy: yes, it was set at the time the package was installed. Found out where (in the admin menu) and turned it off, and rebooted to be sure. It's not set now but something in msttcorefonts is still configured to use it [05:03] whats command to copy a file [05:03] stickboy, sorry... I mean ubunt-restricted-extras... see here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#Ubuntu%208.04 [05:03] i know this is a help channel, but i was wondering -- what are ur high scores for "five or more"?? [05:03] ech0dish: cp old new [05:03] rename worked :) [05:03] alejandr0: maybe reset the bios to factory standard and try to see if the drive is recognized then [05:03] thx [05:03] ok cp thx [05:03] zcat[1]: is the environmental variable still set? (did you try that echo command I gave?) [05:04] alejandr0: if that doesn't work then get a new hard drive and try to install Hardy again [05:04] i thought i had from add/remove. then i did this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=853687 and hasn't helped [05:05] joejoecircusboy: No problem.. the last apt-get remove --purge 'failed' but the package is actually gone and reinstalling it is using the direct network connection so all good!! [05:05] zcat[1]: good stuff! [05:05] stickboy, open a terminal and run aptitude search ubuntu-restricted-extras then tell me if it has an i next to it or not [05:05] yeah but i tried to change the directory and failed... (i.e. cd /media/disk/users/) and it said no such file or directory... [05:05] if I can't get help with cups, anyone know some good gnome themes? [05:06] Prose, whats the prob? === robbie is now known as Aussieguy [05:06] Prose, oxygen-gnome [05:06] usser: thanks [05:07] Anacranom: cups says printer is online but asking cups for a page test doesn't get the printer started [05:07] shows kubuntu, ubuntu, xubuntu. ubuntu has an i next to it. [05:07] Anacranom: the problem is on a 7.1 [05:07] anyone know how to reset / clear a malformed JFS journal? [05:08] Maximander, you can't use fsck on JFS? [05:08] oxygen-gnome... is that a package? [05:08] ahtmly2k, its a theme on gnome-look.org makes gnome look like kde4 [05:08] shows kubuntu, ubuntu, xubuntu. ubuntu has an i next to it. [05:08] oh ok [05:08] patrickmn, think we got it... by default, the bootloader is installed in [hd0], instead of /dev/.... (sda in this case) [05:09] venger: journal is corrupt, so fsck can't replay it... [05:09] Prose, did you install PS drivers or just the defaukt stuff when setting it up? [05:09] and leaves the superblock marked dirty [05:09] Does anyone have a gnome theme that mimics KDE mimicking gnome? [05:09] Prose, *default [05:09] whats the command to uninstall packages... the add/remove stuff doesnt help that much [05:09] stickboy, have you tried this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [05:09] ahtmly2k: sudo apt-get remove [05:10] if you want to remove configuration files also it's sudo apt-get purge [05:10] Anacranom: it's a mp130 but I installed the IP1500 drivers and they USED to work on the same computer it doens't work now [05:10] Maximander, you getting an exit code w/error? [05:11] ahtmly2k, sudo apt-get --purge remove some-package-name [05:11] Anacranom: so the drivers are good and obviously, I haven't changed anything I think might have disturbed CUPS (except I changed the static ip of the machine) [05:11] venger: logredo failed rc=-202 [05:11] sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 says i already have newest version [05:11] Does anyone have a gnome theme for Gnome? ('gnomes' as in the little dudes people put on their lawn) [05:11] stickboy, did you run the other commant? [05:12] ahhh Prose so its attached to a net box? [05:12] gave me a warning about having soemthing else isntalled and that it was highly experimental [05:12] Anacranom: yeah samba share...quite an important detail i did not mention [05:12] also, jfs_logdump | tail has *ERROR* unrecognized log record type [05:12] Anacranom: but I am asking a test page via ssh === usser is now known as Lt [05:12] heh- yeah [05:13] venger, I now just get a "GRUB hard disk error" [05:13] Anacranom: so since it's ssh, I figure I am basically using the terminal at the machine [05:13] No error code. === Lt is now known as Guest54106 === Guest54106 is now known as LtShinySides [05:13] is it possible to truncate link file nameso n the desktop until hovered over? [05:14] BobDoel, what did you decide to do? [05:14] Prose, ok,,,, any more factors to consider and i start calculating my grand-kid's education expenses...lol, j/k [05:14] Replace the Vista Bootloader [05:14] with GRUB [05:14] stickboy, well... you are using the 64-bit edition... I'd say try it anyway [05:14] what is a good ftp client for gnome besides gftp [05:14] BobDoel, heh [05:14] Splex: FileZilla? [05:14] brb [05:14] yeah but then again how do i find out the pacakge name of a specific packge? or should i just state the name stated on the applications menu? [05:14] Splex, filezilla [05:14] joejoecircusboy, i will take a look, thanks [05:15] thanks kindofabuzz [05:15] Anacranom: nah, if you got your phd in impossible, it's all easy [05:15] Splex: FileZilla is nice because it also runs on Windows (if you're into having the same apps on multiple platforms) [05:15] Prose, 1st thing is to get the printer, attached box, on the right ip and network [05:15] BobDoel, you installed grub bootload to hd itself ie. /dev/sda not just a partition right? [05:15] don't care at all about the windows part, but good to know :) [05:16] yeah [05:16] Prose, my phd is in "improbability" [05:16] today i finally formatted my last remaining windows xp computer and installed ubuntu server [05:16] :D === sheep is now known as Starnestommy [05:17] man my dick is really hard.. [05:17] Hi [05:17] Anacranom: ok, well the printer is attached to a box and said box is on the network. said box also has samba file shares and they work perfectly as I am listening to music on those shares as I type [05:17] BobDoel, i would have went the hd order change route myself, however i suppose you could either take another wack at it by booting the cd or have vista restore the MBR [05:17] can anyone help me with error: C compiler cannot create executables [05:18] carrera: What are you trying to compile? [05:18] mysql [05:18] stencoremoi, yeah ubuntu is pretty sexy isn't it [05:18] Prose, but are there ip and settings as they were wne u set up that printer on the remote box? [05:18] I've already added build-essential to no avail [05:18] carrera: can you pastebin the output of the configure/make ? (use paste.ubuntu.com) [05:18] yessir [05:19] Anacranom: well, no, ip settings have been changed [05:19] any idea why battery life is so crappy on linux/ubunt ? [05:19] *ubuntu [05:19] joejoecircusboy, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/43818/ [05:19] mixandgo: define crappy [05:20] Splex: well, on OSX I get 5:30 and in Ubuntu I get 2:30 or so [05:20] Does anybody know how I can get a nice calendar/system performance monitor on my desktop? [05:20] mixandgo: then you need to tweak settings [05:20] Splex: like what [05:20] Something to fill the blank space that looks nice [05:20] screenbrightness is a big one [05:21] Splex: yeah I couldn't make that work [05:21] carrera: cat you do a 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' and paste? [05:21] mixandgo: I get the same battery life in *nix as I did in Windows [05:21] maybe a few minutes difference [05:22] Cpudan80: strange [05:22] cari_dhani [05:22] joejoecircusboy, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/43820/ for my cpu info [05:22] Maximander, so you tried the -f switch? [05:22] mixandgo: look on the forums, probably someone has covered getting your screen brightness/etc settings to work [05:22] carrera: if you do the configure without the fancy CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, what happens? [05:23] im new to linux...is it ok if i idle in here to check out all the different Q&A? [05:23] carrera: i.e. try again with CFLAGS="" and CXXFLAGS="" [05:23] joejoecircusboy, haven't tried [05:23] Splex: yeah I did try before, but I will look again [05:23] joejoecircusboy, ok [05:23] Maximander, the last restore switch is -o (omit) --- man fsck.jfs... good luck [05:23] s/restore/resort [05:23] mixandgo: you have which notebook do you have? [05:24] ugh, that got mangled [05:24] mixandgo: which notebook do you have? [05:24] joejoecircusboy, it worked! [05:24] joejoecircusboy, what was the problem, -mpentium4? [05:24] carrera: I'd go with something like "-O3 -march=i686" [05:25] In top, Cpu(s) means CPU ratio? why different Cpus(s) and PID %CPU? [05:25] quick question guys, anyone know how to change the console background? [05:25] carrera: Not sure, maybe... that option isn't listed in the gcc man page, but it doesn't seem to throw an error for me either [05:26] joejoecircusboy, here's another error: No curses/termcap library found [05:26] anyone know how to get the rhythmbox desktop visualization working? [05:26] carrera: you probably need to install the ncurses devel package [05:26] carrera: try something like "apt-cache search -n ncurses", you should see a -devel, or -dev package [05:27] if using gnome-terminatl, to change the console background just select from the terminal menu Edit / Current Profile and use the Colors tab. [05:27] EricAhn: Not sure if I understand the questions.. but the Cpu(s) line is giving you a summary of CPU usage for the entire system.. the PID CPU usage is for a specific process [05:28] EricAhn http://blog.chinaunix.net/ssi/searchtext.html [05:28] I need help installing a printer [05:28] if a linux distro says inte compatible will it work with AMD? [05:28] mandalorian go on #printer [05:28] intel* [05:28] I have the drivers for linux, but I don't know how to use it [05:28] xvagilinux: yeah.. [05:29] joejoecircusboy, libkaya-ncurses-dev is the closest I get [05:29] hi i'm having problems witjh my wirless connection ubuntu now [05:29] xvagilinux, it should - it depends on architecture. intel x86 will work with 32bit intel and amd processors. [05:29] xvag: for all practical purposes Intel is the same as AMD, so I'd say that 99% chance the answer is yes [05:29] thx [05:29] carrera: that's not right.. sec [05:29] joejoecircusboy, stencoremoi : thanks [05:29] I am in printing [05:29] carrera: libncurses5-dev [05:29] carrera try #cursie [05:29] joejoecircusboy, installing ncurses-dev [05:30] stencoremoi, cursie? [05:30] xvagilinux, they probably say 'intel' because afaik x86 is intels architecture. most mainstream processors use it. [05:30] imneat: gotcha thx [05:30] !webcam [05:30] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [05:30] http://blog.chinaunix.net/ssi/searchtext.html It's chinease..

[05:34] thanks dude [05:34] I'll bother you later! ;) [05:34] Can someone help me with my printer? [05:35] mandalorian: I'd rather watch paint dry, than fix printer problems :) (But not to say someone won't like to help :) [05:36] I have the drivers and software all I need is help to install it [05:37] I don't know how to install something if it is not in the repository [05:37] mandalorian, did you check http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi on your model first [05:37] I have to go I am returning latter [05:37] save that url [05:39] how do you set up home network with 2 computers? [05:40] dako3256: Where are you stuck, specificly? [05:41] both are running ubuntu, but cant see one from the other, should i be able to see them in network? [05:41] I am back [05:41] dako3256, nope, ubuntu by default doesnt use samba [05:41] dako3256, u have multiple options there [05:41] install samba and share folder then? [05:41] dako3256, like nfs, ssh, ftp [05:42] would nfs be better than samba? [05:42] dako3256, yes, since samba is not native to linux [05:42] dako3256, whereas nfs has been around for decades [05:42] right would not be using XP [05:43] can you point me to a place to read up on setting up nfs? [05:43] dako3256: Samba might be easier to configure (which may or may not be a factor depending on your experience level) [05:43] dako3256, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html [05:43] joejoecircusboy, i disagree nfs configuration is pretty straightforward [05:44] experience level not that high, but know why around a little bit [05:44] can someone guide me thru configuring squid proxy? [05:44] thanks for link, appreciate the help [05:45] dako3256, np [05:45] X [05:45] does anyone know of a utility that can make my mouse more precise when I hold down a button or something? [05:45] LtShinySides: A simple, insecure nfs setup is somewhat straightforward... but once you get into any level of security, it's a PITA [05:45] anyone know a good howto on creating a swap drive i have a fat32 backup partition that is not being used [05:46] I like to have my mouse on fastest least sensitive settings, but once in a while I can't grab something and would like to toggle some higher sens for a second [05:46] krishna, i'd try application specific channels such as #squid , though my approach would be to clarify what you are failing to understand [05:46] tj1515: why do you want to do that? [05:46] thought it would help out my proformance i could be wrong :) [05:47] venger, i have installed webmin [05:47] joejoecircusboy, same goes for samba [05:47] LtShinySides: SMB has far stronger security, by default [05:47] joejoecircusboy, nfs is quick and dirty for something secure i just use ssh and sshfs package [05:47] thru webmin i want to configure squid proxy srvr [05:47] joejoecircusboy, yea thats true [05:47] joejoecircusboy: so no need for swap drive [05:48] tj1515: Do you find you're running with alot of swap usage? [05:48] i initially want to know how to set up the incoming ip that is the default gateway [05:48] from the adsl router [05:48] hello all [05:48] does there exists a counter-strike-like game for ubuntu? [05:48] not sure how to tell i'm kinda new to this [05:48] WINE doesnt count [05:48] ahtmly2k, americas army [05:48] say for example the defaultgw is 192.168.1.1 [05:48] tj1515: Generally, you don't want to be doing alot of IO with swap... and if you are, you want swap on your fastest drive, not some old spare you have kicking around [05:49] how do i add it on sq proxy [05:49] really? download path? [05:49] tj1515: how much RAM do you have installed? [05:49] 2gb [05:49] oh was that for me? [05:49] joejoecircusboy: 1gb, my system just seems to be getting slow thought it may help [05:49] Need help with getting the onboard wifi card in a dell latitude d600 to scan for existing wifi networks. Anyone know how? [05:49] Or point me to the right place? [05:50] tj1515: In practice, it probably won't make any real difference.. However, if merely want to know how to do it, I'd be happy to walk you through it [05:50] ahtmly2k, http://americasarmy.filefront.com/files/Americas_Army/Official_Releases/Full_Install;983 [05:50] ahtmly2k, linux version hasnt been updated for a while but ppl still play it [05:50] is there a way to keep vnic from booting up all the time [05:51] alright... i'll check it out thanx [05:51] LtShinySides: Speaking of nfs security... have you ever setup nfs with kerberos? [05:52] oh 1 more thing... i'm downloading openarena its taking its time... wht do i do to abort it? and can i resume it later on? [05:52] joejoecircusboy: do u have any ideas on how i could get a better idea of why my system seems to be slower [05:52] im using terminal [05:52] tj1515: sure. What operations are slow? [05:52] joejoecircusboy, no never done that [05:52] ahtmly2k, if you are emerging it yea you can resume it later. [05:53] is there a way to keep vnic from booting up all the time [05:53] joejoecircusboy: are you talking to me? [05:53] ahtmly2k, I mean downloading. [05:53] ahtmly2k, are u installing from the repos? [05:53] squirkey: before now? no :) [05:53] sorry [05:53] ahtmly2k, crap sorry wrong channel... damnit. [05:54] amicrawler, look for it in System->Administration->Services? [05:54] firefox starts slow some image and flash heavy a slow reacting. Also programs seem to darken out to think alot more often then used to [05:54] i meant flash heavy pages react slowly [05:55] its late :) [05:55] haha [05:55] tj1515: Flash has a bad habit of consuming all the CPU after awhile.... [05:55] i'm downloading openarena its taking its time... wht do i do to abort it? and can i resume it later on? im using terminal [05:55] tj1515: when things get slow, you can use the 'top' command (or System -> Administration -> System monitor) to get an idea which programs are using the system resources [05:56] help. I unplugged my computer so I could move my desk, and when I plugged everything in and turned it back on, now Xorg will only start into failsafe mode. [05:56] whats the link for pasting screenshots?

[05:58] How can i convert all .wav files in a folder to .mp3? [05:58] whats the link for pasting screenshots? [05:58] tj1515: also, I recommend you install the Firefox plugin 'FlashBlock'.. it will replace flash sections with a placeholder image, which you can click after the page is loaded to see the flash animation. [05:58] joejoecircusboy: thanks i'll try it too [05:58] tj1515: 2 advantages with 'FlashBlock', 1. prevent flash heavy pages from killing Firefox, 2. hides most annoying ads [05:58] okay now this is just being silly: [05:58] The selected location does not have enough space to store the disc image (0 MiB needed).

[06:08] OrangeKyo: what everybody was saying was "Welcome to Linux"... note the emoticons [06:08] well i tried fsck /home and it gave me a similar error, but with /home's UUID [06:09] falemant: oh, I see.. might be some confusion here [06:09] top show that the process whiptail consumes 95% of my CPU time. I did not call the whiptail program. What program might have called the whiptail process? [06:09] joejoecircusboy do you need more info? i can pastebin my fdisk -l as well if you need it [06:10] falemant: ya, that be great [06:10] hey is there a way to stop nautilus from opening everytime i stick a cd in with out messing up the fact that it mounts the disk? [06:11] does anyone know a doc to pdf converter for ubuntu? [06:11] l3d: less than useful answer: Yes, but I don't know how offhand :) [06:11] http://pastebin.com/m561145e7 [06:11] brutus, openoffice [06:11] btw this might seem like a strange way to partition, and it is. i don't know why i made the root partition so huge. the /home was supposed to be 10gb but i accidentally made it 3 lol [06:12] l3d: I think I right clicked on the mounted drive icon on my desktop and there was an option under there... [06:12] falemant: you want to run fsck on hard drive device files (/dev/sd*), not mount points (/home, /var, etc) [06:13] falemant: if you want to run fsck on your /home filesystem, check the output of the 'mount' command to see which hard drive device file it's located on [06:13] LtShinySides, hey thanks a lott! [06:14] brutus, np [06:17] joejoecircusboy, the man page for fsck said i can do it on a mount point [06:18] falemant: the method that requires the least dependencies is the direct device file method... other methods rely on other things working (which obviously in this case, are not) [06:19] what is the correct way to mount a vista/samba share in hardy? [06:19] (non-fstab) [06:19] falemant: i thought that doing fsck on a mount point could possibly corrupt your filesystem... I thought I read a warning saying something like that... so, please be careful. [06:20] ckyle: he left [06:20] Digital0: there are multiple ways of accessing an SMB share... I'm not sure any one way is more 'correct'. What do you mean by correct? [06:20] joejoecircusboy: to mount it, so that frontend applications can access it as any other mounted location [06:21] joejoecircusboy: and not a fstab/permanent/automatic mount, because it's a wireless laptop [06:21] Digital0: fstab is the most compatible (since it splices the share directly into the filesystem) [06:21] joejoecircusboy: it needs to be ... on demand, per se [06:21] Digital0: failing that... you can use gvfs (or whatever it's called.. the gnome file system) [06:22] Digital0, mount -F cifs -o username=x,password=y server:/share /mountpoint [06:22] Digital0: Places -> connect to server [06:23] Digital0, just put this line in a script make executable and put on your desktop there you go its on demand [06:24] oi [06:25] LtShinySides: it errored on me [06:25] alguem me ensina a mexe nesse trco?

[06:34] Digital0, nice now put this line in a file that starts with #!/bin/bash [06:34] How do i configure the package so that its will be statically linked? [06:34] Digital0, chmod a+x filename and you have an executable that will mount the share when u double click it [06:34] Digital0, to be able to resolve windows names u have to install winbind [06:35] Digital0, and edit your /etc/nsswitch.conf so that those lines read: [06:35] Digital0, hosts: files wins mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 [06:35] Digital0, networks: files wins [06:36] LtShinySides: advantages of those nsswitch edits?

[08:04] thanks kennyyu [08:04] kaffeine is a good player [08:04] #lfs-cn [08:04] i used to use it to publish screenies of my desktops to a website i had setup for myself before blogging was in vogue =) [08:04] kennyyu: i hope it supports all codecs [08:04] there is a Mac widget which you can drag any image to it and it send this image to imageshack and send you the link back [08:05] i just fell like and idiot speaking english with him while both speak portuguese, but whatever [08:05] hrm, specific to imageshack huh? [08:05] i'm looking for ANYTHING as simples as this [08:05] therein lies the rub [08:06] i am looking for a package which allows me to play mp3 and divx [08:06] All your base are belong to us [08:06] ¬¬ [08:06] i am certain there's a tool that a fellow hacker has made to do just that, its just a matter of googling to find it =) [08:06] Sahil: not sure if it can be for divx. but it's sure for mp3... [08:07] [blutgens@archimedes]:~ $ apt-cache search imageshack [08:07] photo-uploader - Command line photo uploader [08:07] Does anyone here know much about wpa_supplicant? [08:07] try that esquilo? [08:07] kennyyu: I have installed one before but i have forgotten the name [08:07] Photo uploader is a command line utility (and Python module) for [08:07] uploading photos to minilabs for printing or to any service for image [08:07] hosting. It currently supports only a few minilab services in Czechia [08:07] and some hosting services like ImageShack, but can be easily extended [08:07] to support others.

[08:10] snegtul: does that install all packages === sn00zer is now known as powertool08 [08:11] for divx also [08:11] tends to fix all my codec needs =) [08:11] yah sahil [08:11] snegtul: thanks [08:11] Is there anyway to add more reslolution higher then 1024x768, i know i can handle 1280x1024. [08:12] when i build a new ubuntu box for personal use desktop-wise, i do that, and it tends to solve all the annoying probs [08:12] Hi, I want to make two sessions, one with comiz and one "clean" with just xfce4 [08:12] mp3/divs/flash etc [08:12] compiz that is [08:12] snegtul: it is not working === _t3ch is now known as t3ch [08:13] not enough information sahil =) [08:13] "it broken" not enough info to help me to help you =) [08:13] !not working | Sahil [08:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about not working [08:13] Guys, I have a presentation on monday to explain the insecurities of WEP. I completed the project but I would like to demonstrate how easy it is to crack it. I was able to do this before with my Alpha Network AUS036H usb wifi card (rtl8187) on Fedora 7. I've applied the patch and installed aircrack but it's not working. [08:13] Wannabe u can try reconfiguring xorg [08:13] joakim: do you really need sessions for that? you could use fusion icon and toggle compiz on and off from the panel? [08:14] anyone here feel like trying to help me on this? [08:14] Sahil, its weekend time mate, i'm half-in-the-bag =) [08:14] pcuser if u need and distro with patchs for wirelles sharking, u should try backtrack [08:14] pcuser it comes with a lot of patched drivers [08:15] ushimitsudoki: well, I guess you are right. How do ii make this fusion icon? [08:15] Neseth, whats the cmd for that? [08:15] ya, that's what my buddy was telling me. I would still like to get it going though in Ubuntu 8.04 [08:16] Wannabe xorgconfig [08:16] joakim: package is in the repos: "sudo apt-get install fusion-icon" [08:16] Is it like a panel icon that I just click to turn it on and off? That sounds kind of greate actually [08:16] heh this almost like when the #gentoo channel was new, we devs used to be able to help people [08:16] http://pastebin.ca/1195537 Any ideas? [08:16] i had thought #ubuntu was super busy [08:16] Neseth, like dpkg -r xorg ? [08:17] joakim: exactly. i use it under xfce to switch on/off compiz/emerald (although i am using compiz less and less, since xfwm now has compositing built in) [08:17] people tell me package for playing audio and video [08:17] Wannabe dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [08:17] hell i remember having the ability to be helpful on #debian too [08:18] ushimitsudoki: greate help! I ran the code in the terminal, now where is my icon? =) Do I have to reboot? [08:18] Sahil: already told you ubuntu-restricted-extras. if you need more obscure codecs you will have to search those out specifically [08:18] pcuser i'm reading the hcl wiki, http://backtrack.offensive-security.com/index.php/HCL:Wireless, it would do, ur card is totally suported, including injection [08:18] do you think this could be the cause of my packet injection not working in ubuntu? [08:18] sudo airmon-ng start wlan1 [08:18] Interface Chipset Driver [08:18] wlan0 b43 - [phy1] [08:18] wlan1 Realtek 8187L rtl8187 - [phy0]/usr/local/sbin/airmon-ng: 856: cannot create /sys/class/ieee80211/phy0/add_iface: Directory nonexistent [08:18] Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : [08:18] pcuser: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:18] SET failed on device mon0 ; No such device. [08:18] ushimitsudoki: not able to locate the package [08:18] joakim: no, it should appear in system tray when ran . you will prob want it to start up by default i would think too [08:18] ushimitsudoki: please give me the package name [08:19] does this tell me that it's not going into monitor mode? [08:19] Sahil, or check out medibuntu [08:19] yo yo yo [08:19] pcuser: do you know what airmon-ng start does? [08:19] * fetra [ABSENT] [08:19] ushimitsudoki: alright, I ran it from the panel menu, now it is displayed in my upper right corner. Will now click it .. [08:19] sahil: 3rd time: ubuntu-restricted-extras. if this is not available to you, there is some other problem here [08:19] pcuser its trying to create something in a ieee80211, a completly diferent chip [08:19] anyone got link for vncing into windows xp from ubuntu via ssh ? [08:20] vpn even [08:20] pcuser ur patch was sucefull ? [08:20] Sahil if your p0rn won't play on codecs provided by"restricted-extras" medibuntu will have it [08:20] ushimitsudoki: wow, there are alot of usefull settings in it! Switching was flawles, now on xfce4 [08:20] ya, i used the one for RTL8187. Shit, so does this mean i should be using sudo iwconfig wlan1 mode Monitor === Initial_1 is now known as Initial_M [08:21] pcuser: do you have any idea of what you're doing? [08:21] pcuser y r u not trying backtrack for ur presentation ? [08:21] somewhat [08:21] ushimitsudoki: Now, how do I make it enabled on startup? [08:22] pcuser: read something that will help you out then ask specific questions [08:22] i guess i won't have a choice.. i'm a noob with ubuntu, just installed and would like to get it to work [08:22] joakim: in xfce: setting manager > autostarted apps [08:22] nnull, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto [08:22] k [08:22] arvind_k, thx [08:23] ushimitsudoki: Ah of course =) what line of code would that be? Just: "fusion-icon"? [08:24] joakim: yup [08:24] well, i applied the correct patch just to let you know. And followed the instruction from aircrack and it applied successfully. I was just curious as to why my packet injection is not working. I followed the exact same steps in FC and had no problems [08:24] ushimitsudoki: Thanx alot for your help! [08:24] joakim: quite welcome enjoy! [08:25] Hi, anybody know why truecrypt won't mount a container unless you specify read-only? This is also true in OSX. [08:25] i understand where you are coming from. it's hard to be specific sometimes [08:25] Parsec300: i don't have that problem. my truecrypt container is read write [08:25] rc.epiknet.org [08:26] pcuser injections patchs depends totally on luck, i need to have the correct patch, for the correct kernel, and aplly it on the fullmoon, its always better to get backtrack for this =p [08:26] Parsec300: what does it say? [08:26] ushimitsudoki: One more thing; I want to ad compiz to the autostarted applications to, what line of code is that? "compiz --replace"? [08:26] do you have an actual error? [08:26] bt3 is the latest release correct? [08:26] pcuser yes, and ur card is totally support, including injection [08:26] how do i switch to another user and use the Xdisplay of the currrent user? [08:27] So I hear Miley Cyrus is dead. [08:27] i am using my nokia phone as a modem and i want to connect it in my ubuntu how i do that ? [08:27] totem-mozilla and mplayer-mozilla arent working for a certain site that uses divx web player... any ideas? [08:27] lol, damn i wasted my whole night trying to figure out where i went wrong [08:27] Car crash. [08:27] joakim: yes (but make a note that if you are saving running application that you aren't autostarting applications that are saved - i ran into this and turned of saving running applications - something to keep in mind) [08:27] I don't know how to break it to my girl's sister. [08:27] !ot | MindVirus [08:27] MindVirus: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

How do I turn "saving apps" off? [08:29] i guess i don't have a choice but to use BT3 or re-install FC [08:29] pcuser: i did that a while back with a different rtl [08:29] im trying to make a VPN for VNC i want to connect the XP box from the ubuntu box? [08:29] i need ssh for this? [08:29] joakim: Settings Manager > Sessions and Startup (that is a permanent change. the logout dialog has a checkbox so you can toggle it as you like each time if you want to test things out first) [08:29] hold on [08:30] nnull: you can tunnel vnc through an ssh connection ... that is simpler than setting up a vpn i think [08:30] i'm running Linux pcuser-laptop 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 22:56:21 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [08:30] nnull u need ssh if u want ur vnc encrypted behind ur ssh connection [08:30] nnull like tunneled [08:30] ahh ic [08:30] installed aircrack-ng 0.9.3 [08:30] ushimitsudoki: Once again, thank you for your help! Iĺl get back to you if I have more questions for sure =) [08:31] applied rtl8187_linux_26.1010.0622.2006 [08:31] patch but still can't get it to go [08:31] pcuser: what are you trying to do? [08:31] Well, ushimitsudoki and remote, my osx verison tells met there's no mountable filesystem. [08:32] nnull: man vncviewer and check out the -via switch ... another option is nomachineNX which is much faster for me ... somethings to check out [08:32] hi. On a computer of mine running xubuntu, the screen resolution changes randomly when rebooting. I mean: most of the time, after booting, gdm and X have the correct resolutions, but sometimes after booting their resolution is way to low. The live-cd (xubuntu) detected the correct resolution, I copied over the xorg.conf from the live cd, but the problem still persists. Can anybody help me to get the correct resolution at every boot? [08:32] Parsec300: wouldn't know about OSX [08:32] ok cool, and what vnc server would you recommend for windows xp? [08:32] get my rtl8187 alpha Network AWSUS036H working with packet injection, i had this working on FC7 until i installed ubuntu [08:32] it's for a presentation at school on Monday [08:32] ushimitsudoki, same problem for me under Ubuntu though. [08:32] what's packet injection? [08:32] ushimitsudoki, ok cool, and what vnc server would you recommend for windows xp? [08:33] pcuser: were you using the same driver? [08:33] nnull: real vnc i guess ... i don't take winxp seriously so take it for what it's worth [08:33] shentino, its where you inject yourself with internet data, its a dangerous drug habit [08:33] nnull on my xp i use tightvnc server, it do the job quite well [08:33] shit, i can't remember.. i installed it a couple of months ago to get internet for my buddy since he was broke :-p [08:34] ok cheers [08:34] Parsec300: any errors or anything? [08:34] ushimitsudoki, yea well XP is the best os for what that pc does (rips movies/office stuff) [08:34] i think i'm going to have to go with bt3 [08:34] its a old box [08:35] anyone mind checking there iptables and see if there is a chain called ALLOW_IP there [08:35] pcuser the live cd does the sharking quite well, u wont even need to install it [08:35] i can't wast to much time since i need to build a security system using mindzone [08:35] thats anyone who is on a hardy/intrepid box [08:36] on xubuntu, my screen resolution changes randomly when I boot. [08:36] ushimitsudoki, only that there's no mountable filesystem. It will mount though, if I specify read-only [08:36] Oh that reminds me [08:36] I just did a double dist-upgrade starting from 7.04 [08:37] and my gdm's screenres is 1280x768 something. [08:37] sorry oops, security system will be using zoneminders [08:37] it looks kick ass [08:37] How do yoyu configure the display manager itself to use a specific resolution? [08:37] Parsec300: i just busted out my USB drive on truecrypt and mounted it up and copied a few files to it. I can only tell you that the problem is not inherent in truecrypt - maybe it was created read-only or there are mounting permission problems or something [08:38] hello to all [08:38] how can i install real player ? [08:38] the file is on the desktop [08:38] RealPlayer11GOLD.bin [08:38] how can i do this? [08:39] google search, the answer is there [08:39] hi all [08:39] hi noxs! [08:40] selew: chmod +x bla.bin then ./bla.bin from the desktop folder or use nautilus to make it exec. dblclik on it [08:40] sound works now :) [08:41] thanks Rat409 [08:41] ushimitsudoki, I'll check into that. [08:41] wh0$ b33n ƒµ(|{1n (r4(|{1n9 [08:41] now how do i make vb full screen cause i tru ctrl-f and still the screen looks small [08:41] ushimitsudoki, so, you encrypted an entire partition?

[08:43] lint: adjust it [08:43] i have the file on the desktop [08:44] Hi, how do I enable suspend on my desktop? [08:45] selew: execute it [08:46] can somebody help me with my randomly changing resolution (xubuntu)? [08:46] I've got a bunch of symptoms with my ubuntu installation, was wondering if you guys know any resources for troubleshooting and debugging these issues myself [08:46] yes google usually [08:46] cads: that's gotta be the best question I've ever seen here [08:46] the type of the file is not supported [08:46] selew: what type of file is it, yo? [08:47] this is the message that i get [08:47] hi [08:47] yes! [08:47] an error [08:47] yes [08:47] .bin [08:47] remote, google doesn't help a whole lot; I can look up many bug reports but what I'd like is to know how to fix them [08:47] cads: can you be more specific about the problems? [08:47] selew: that is the extention, it doesn't tell me what _type_ of file it is [08:47] sure [08:48] If I have something like this -> Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x ... stands the x for any number? so it could be 5 doesn't matter? [08:48] selew: i'd make a folder call it rp realplay whatever then in xterm cd to folder,./bla.bin,cd to the hxsetup,read install/readme then ./realplay after making it executable(the .bin file) [08:48] RealPlayer11GOLD.bin [08:48] cads: ubuntu forums new user can be almost as quick as here [08:48] there are enough problems that I ought to make a forum post [08:49] selew: it uunpacks contents and Desktop isn't best folder [08:49] Rat409: that's not his problem [08:49] well let me state one problem and see what you guys think [08:49] cads: Start with a couple of the big ones [08:49] cads: so far so good [08:50] hai [08:51] well i've done it in a dozen distros and said make it executeable the run the .bin file(most are installers [08:51] document viewer is unstable, opening pdfs can sometimes cause it to open and crash immediately. Right now I opened a pdf file by clicking it on the desktop. Document viewer did not come up, but the desktop window has completely locked down i.e. I can't move the focus to other icons [08:51] toxovolos@toxovolos-desktop:-$ this is the path in terminal window [08:51] this path is the desktop ? [08:51] or not? [08:51] selew: cd ~/.Desktop [08:52] I'm not concerned about document viewer so much as how it blocks the desktop; sometimes the menus stop working [08:52] No such file or directory [08:52] newb here. tried installing nvidia-glx-new and i only get a resolution of 640 x 350. i know my monitor can handle at least 1024 x 768 [08:52] sometimes the problem starts with firefox instead of document viewer, or pidgin, or movie player [08:52] cads: i use evince and it does read all pdf without problems [08:52] when i type cd ~/.Desktop [08:52] mecha, do you have graphics card? === arvind_k is now known as arvind_khadri [08:53] selew: use nautilus to find it then enable viewing hidden files [08:53] mecha: well obviously it can handle 640x350 as well [08:53] Rat409: ~/Desktop ? should not be hidden unless you are talking about some non-standard dir there [08:54] remote, I use xpdf to avoid instability from evince and yeah, the pdfs are all fine [08:54] arvind_k: nvidia 5500 [08:54] hello all [08:54] sorry way too late/early here [08:54] cads: That's a tough one... one suggestion: If you can reproduce the problem, run the document viewer from the CLI so you can see the error messages it spits out on crash [08:54] anyone can help me with SAMBA + PDC + XP ? [08:54] mecha, which drivers? [08:54] ah, that's an idea [08:54] cads: can you reproduce the problem? [08:54] !envy | mecha [08:54] mecha: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [08:54] remote :/ [08:55] mecha: did you had any question? [08:55] arvind_khadri: i tried that [08:55] mecha, so what happens? [08:55] remote, it seems to happen after I've been logged in a couple hours [08:55] samba + pdc + xp in clients, could someone help me? [08:56] remote: how come i can't switch it through sreen resolution GUI? [08:56] cads: i have no idea [08:56] if it's not the document viewer problem it's a similar problem with firefox [08:56] mecha: i don't know about screen resolution GUI [08:56] let me describe one more problem [08:56] mecha, gksu displayconfig-gtk [08:56] arvind_khadri: it boots into 640 x 350 and in the resolution GUI its the highest res i can get [08:56] mecha, gksu displayconfig-gtk [08:57] * [gnubie] waves to all.. i have to go now.. [08:57] or restart, initialize ubuntu in secure mode, select the last option (restart X to default), and then edit xorg.conf to put the parameters there [08:57] samba + pdc + xp in clients, could someone help me? [08:58] How can i check the settings for the hard drives spinning down after some time and where can i change this? [08:58] this is the one with firefox. Sometimes after playing a few youtube videos the sound dies for my whole system. Just no more sound playback. At the same time, firefox when run too long begins to slow and then spontaneously crashes and halts my panels and desktop and other windows. [08:58] arvind_khadri: still cant get anyhting higher. my monito is not in the list either [08:59] mecha try adding it and envy works the best... [08:59] cads: when it happens try to find more information about the problem first, application errors and dmesg would be a good place to start looking [08:59] arvind_khadri: how would i go about adding my monitor? [08:59] pressing ctrl-alt-backspace and logging back in either doesn't fix the sound and firefox crashes soon after that again, or the login fails altogether, loading a blank screen without the desktop [09:00] yeah, I'll try to collect some info and compose a forum entry [09:00] yeah have a look at dmesg errors in that case and xorg logs [09:00] mecha, click on the Model drop down menu [09:01] mecha, btw was it working previously?

[09:16] remote: nope i stopped when it said windows connection and it was made by ..... [09:16] arvind_khadri: it says i dont have the permissions to resave as xorg.conf [09:17] here: if you really want the directories mounted remotely to your computer(s) you need either samba or nfs and nfs will make your processes lock when unavailable and they will become zombie processes which sucks [09:17] otherwise, go with rsync and ssh [09:17] remote: i never used shh or rsync isnt there a link with a tut on how to do so? [09:18] Pirate_Hunter: rsync is great, really. you just don't get the folders, you get to copy the folders through the network [09:18] Pirate_Hunter: are you comfortable with using bash?

I've seen it before, was when the dhcp server was down on the server and it couldn't get an ip. That's where the second circle is for. The first one is for the connection to the router. [09:57] hischild, the dchp router isn't down, i have it set to assighn ip by MAC [09:58] so i'm static but from the router [09:58] hello [09:58] salve...una domanda facile facile .....ho una dir che vedo solo come su da terminale voglio usarla anche dal desktop il comando esatto è chmod -R 666 [09:58] is there a way to give flashplayer a process id so you can kill it in case it freezes without killing firefox? [09:58] hi [09:58] is there a way to stop or reload firefox tabs from the command line? [09:58] im not sure [09:59] kindofabuzz, hmm... you could try and use pure dhcp to check. If that doesn't work as well then i'm at a loss. [09:59] can i get msn messsenger on here [09:59] Jakob_the_liar, i very much doubt it, you may want to ask in #firefox @irc.mozilla.org for that [09:59] ubuntu [09:59] thanks kindofabuzz [09:59] Hi, all.. can somebody help me with ubuntu + networking?

[10:00] how do i install programs on ubuntu [10:00] is it possbile for me to connect to another machine with this setup i.e. all linux pcs are connected into one hub/rooter and the modem as well, so can i ssh to them or do i need a direct connection to my NIC? [10:00] will 784mb of RAM be enough to run Windows XP in virtualbox as ubuntu as host.!! [10:01] morningwalker, yes [10:01] matty, use synaptic system>administration>synaptic package installer [10:01] Pirate_Hunter, install openssh-server on every pc.

[10:04] Pirate_Hunter: you can run ssh server on a different port, 80 for example, or preferably 443 [10:04] Fedora sucks for beginners, ment for the geeks!! [10:04] Pirate_Hunter, ok... do you have a firewall on the pc installed? [10:05] Hink_, what do you mean it cant find your hard drive, the partiton editor doesnt show anything? [10:05] hischild: dude, all computers with ubuntu have firewall installed by default!! [10:05] moin moin [10:05] doesnt show anything [10:05] if i was using ssh in my lan with (windows xp as server and ubuntu as client) i would no longer need the default FIlesharing over TCPIP shares correct? [10:05] Hink_, you on a laptop or something [10:06] hischild: on the main pc no on the kids pc yes [10:06] yes thats rignt morning walker same with windows os [10:06] I have a western digital greenpower 500gig [10:06] ssh likely not to run on my pc!!

[10:08] sudo fdisk -l did not show anything [10:08] Hink_, paste the output of sudo fdisk -l into that [10:08] Pirate_Hunter, a firewall can block the ssh connection. [10:08] Hink_, hmm.....do you know the exact model of your hard drive? [10:08] Hi people. Is there a way to include f-spot tags in "Tracker"? [10:09] Hink_, i would try googling that along with 'ubuntu' or 'linux' to see if anyone has gotten it to work [10:09] Pirate_Hunter, so go to the pc you're trying to connect to, check if the firewall blocks it.

It probably has a screen that shows you a log of what connections were blocked etc. [10:11] whats NFS [10:11] !nfs [10:11] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [10:11] Ziroday: nvidia-xconfig ?

First problem is with my sound, I noticed that if I am playing music using any audio app or video with sound, when I try to listen to music online or watch a video on youtube or try to run any sound from the web, it doesn't work unless I switch music off. And vise-versa gets wrose, if I have played any sound on the web, I can't get music from my hd until I restart my comput [10:39] er. My Audio device is: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller .. what can I do? Is it possible to restart sound without rebooting my system? [10:39] thrope: nothing from the repositories should break. But you should always have backups [10:39] natalisuskha, recommended to restart [10:39] my sister just bought an Inspiron 1420 with WinXP. I want to transfer all my files to her laptop so that I can do a full reinstall of Ubuntu and convert all of my current partitions to Ext3. How do I do that? [10:40] natalisushka: this is an issue of how ubuntu sets up pulseaudio, lemme find you a link [10:40] natalisushka: it's an issue with flash and pulseaudio. Do you have libflashsupport installed? [10:40] or install drivers for your sound card if available... could work out better later on [10:40] jrib, let me check [10:41] hello [10:41] Good morning! Which OS is usually considered to be 'lighter', Ubuntu or Mandriva? I know is sounds like a general question, however, what the opinion on this? [10:41] *it [10:41] Losowski: in my opinion, Rosie O Donnell is lighter than Mandriva [10:42] Losowski, that is a question better suited to the chat channel [10:42] !offtopic [10:42] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[10:43] jrib: thanks - it's mainly stuff not from the repository I was asking about - I wanted to know if they maintain binary compatibility ie for MATLAB (linked on install), numpy/scipy (handbuilt) or if those things are likely to need a reinstall [10:43] hischild - check this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/43870/ - here are setups [10:43] jrib, I thought it's a flash issue that is taking my sound, but when i for example am working with gmail built-in chat, and I get this sound when someone just sent me a message when the gmail tab isn't open, I loose the sound. [10:43] jrib, libflashsupport isn't installed [10:44] hischild - yes, it's static [10:44] pRoFiOn, did you add a route?

[10:53] erUSUL, before I try that, I'd like to ask about another issue that I am having. I believe the issue is with my VGA, before installing 8.04, my usb mouse and other usb devices were working fine. Now when I start up many apps or minimize or maximize a lot or switching between apps using tab+alt (anything that makes vga exhausted) my USBs stuck, and mouse stops working (only mouse pad works).. Now that's when my visual effects are set to none. [10:53] When effects are set to normal, after the same intense of usage, my computer logs out to a unix screen (same that appears the moment you press ctrl+alt+bs) but it just hangs forever until reboot. [10:53] okies [10:55] natalisushka: seems like a bug with the graphics driversor the kernel or both... hard to fix. do you see anything on the system logs? /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog [10:55] Hi aal [10:55] ll [10:55] I finally got my dualhead setup working on a ATi card [10:56] With some xorg.conf tweaks i can select: One Big Desktop in the ATi catalyst control center [10:56] and then everything works great! [10:56] erUSUL, I am not very much familiar with the logs .. what must I actually see to know what's wrong? plus, if this is hard to fix, is there a way to restart my USBs (when my visual effects are none)? [10:56] the only problem left is that after a reboot its gone... [10:56] Then i have to select One Big Desktop again in Ati catalyst control center [10:56] hischild, Ok :) sorry, can we go private? [10:56] Someone know how to keep the good settings after a reboot to? [10:57] natalisushka, if you have a question ask it in the channel. [10:58] natalisushka: well if there is so kind of bug with usb at kernel level there should be what its called an oops http://kerneloops.org/raw.php?rawid=51161&msgid= [11:00] erUSUL, ok I will check my log .. what about restarting USBs? [11:00] hey, i'm trying to get some help... i've just installed hardy on an ibook, using it right now... but have some questions. if there is anyone willing to chat, i'd appreciate it.

(this is in gnome) [13:32] anyone who can help with the bluetooth problem I described before? :/ [13:32] jrib, I did a complet removal of mozilla-plugin-gnash [13:32] spiritssight: restart your browser [13:32] why did I have to do this [13:33] not the restarting of the ff I know that :-) [13:33] spiritssight: gnash is the open source flash player, but it isn't able to do everything adobe's can [13:33] oo ok, also do I have the lastest adobe flash installed [13:33] imaginativeone_, you can share the cd/optical drive.. but not burn to the share. [13:33] thanks [13:34] Anyone know of a way of speeding up /dev/random number generation? [13:34] imaginativeone_, i tend to share all of /media on my home lan. [13:34] mrtimdog, i was thinking /dev/urandom was faster.. or was it slower.. I forget.. :( [13:34] exit [13:35] n,nhv [13:35] dr_willis: Not sure really? I'm trying to use the gnutls certtool and it takes ages to create keys, etc. [13:36] mrtimdog, no idea on those. sorry [13:36] G'mornin [13:36] I have a question [13:36] Hi, I'm having some small problems with the default Ubuntu processor frequency scalar. It seems that when I start doing something intensive( make -j2 ), plugged in or not, it scales the processor down to 1.6Ghz from the max of 2.2Ghz. Is there any way to curb this behaviour? [13:36] in which file can I manually config my wifi network? [13:36] dr_willis: np, it uses /dev/random so it was more of a general /dev/random question really. [13:36] I setup a Hardy Heron box on my network recently at home [13:36] I installed samba and winbind on the hardy box [13:37] CSills: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying [13:37] mrtimdog, i was thinking one was 'truely random' vs 'psuedo random' but this is some stuff ive only really just read/skimmed docs/threads about. [13:37] sorry [13:37] I cannot ping any hosts on my network from the Hardy Heron box [13:38] i wanna use wine to use xp from ubuntu how to insatll it in ubntu ? [13:38] amanulla: wine doesn't do that. You can try to run windows executables through wine though. If you want to actually run windows, look into virtualization [13:39] CSills, i just 'cheat' and put in hostnames/ip#'s in the hosts file.. but im on a small lan with static ips. I may have to look into winbind. that may save me some time. [13:39] amanulla, what do you mean by 'use xp' wine runs specific apps. Not the whole OS. [13:39] do i need to format hdd to use virtualization [13:39] amanulla: no [13:39] !virtualizers | amanulla [13:39] amanulla: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [13:40] amanulla, wind doxent need any thing from windows at all. :) it dosent need to access a windows disk at all. [13:40] dr_willis: I have been looking into this as well but have not found the cause of it either. It is a strange problem and I have never had with previous versions of ubuntu [13:41] dr_willis: my problem is im using gtalk,yahoo in xp there i can have voice chat with my friends but here im using all those in pidgin where voice chat is not allowed waht to do? === Omar1 is now known as Omar87 [13:41] CSills, i rember some file in /etc/ that defines the order the system looks ups the hosts names, but im not on a linux box at the moment to double check [13:42] /etc/rc.conf [13:42] is it easy to configure vmware? [13:42] amanulla, stop using IM clients to do voice chat? use a Voice chat client. :) I dont use those.. so no idea if they even work with voice in wine.. its very likely they WONT work properly in wine. [13:42] how can i in ubuntu? [13:42] amanulla: I think virtualbox is the easiest to use personally [13:42] vmware/virtualbox are not too hard to use. [13:42] amanulla: vbox is much easier (imo) [13:43] how to configure and use vbox? [13:43] dr_willis: Thanks I will keep looking into it on this side as well [13:43] !virtualbox | amanulla [13:43] amanulla: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [13:43] amanulla: look at the manual [13:43] i have some trouble using the emerald themer, is this because i don't have compiz fusion or beryl or something? [13:43] amanulla, read its docs for a start? Install it.. run it.. pop in windows cd.. tell it to install from cd.. [13:43] amanulla: why don't you write to yahoo and tell them that there is interest in using the native messenger client in Linux. If we don't tell them, then they will never know. [13:44] Voice chat client. means? [13:44] I dislike the native yahoo client (the wife uses it) due to all the spam it seems to force on her. [13:44] amanulla, like skype [13:44] !im [13:44] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, and IRC.

[13:45] heh [13:45] Znow, possible a codec vlc dosent understand , if sound works otherwise [13:46] the video always works in VLC [13:46] is the same with other movies [13:46] why is it sucha bad idea to make my computer a single-user system? i want ubuntu to automatically boot into my user (non-admin) when i start up the computer. [13:46] onthefence9281: system -> administration -> login window [13:46] onthefence9281: in sytem-login screen enable this option [13:47] onthefence9281, if you dont have kids/wife/others with access.. go ahead.. If you do.. it would suck if the grandkids erased your files. [13:47] jrib, DIFH-iceroot, i know how, i just wanted to know why i was advised not to. [13:47] I can't for the life of me remember where in gnome to go make another drop down menu on a panel... can someone give me a hint...:P [13:47] onthefence9281, I got mine set to autologin to a 'guest' type limited account. so the kids can web surf when they conme over. and thats all they can do [13:47] jrib, i want ask some problem with my notebook [13:47] <[nrx]> right click on the panel :) [13:47] dr_willis: anytime someone uses my computer i let them use my username anyways [13:48] jrib, pls answer [13:48] Phipho: you can just go ahead and ask the channel, I'll try to help if I know [13:48] onthefence9281, Suite yoruself then.. do what you want.. just be aware of the risks [13:48] Hi, I'm having some small problems with the default Ubuntu processor frequency scalar.

[13:49] dr_willis: yeah i'm the only linux user i hang around with so most people are afraid to explore my computer [13:49] [nrx]: right clicking the panel only lets me add launchers.. not a drop down menu like.. Applications or Places.. [13:49] !anyone | Znow [13:49] Znow: 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? [13:49] onthefence9281: you have to ask the person who advised you for their reasons :) But, really it's just not a good idea if you don't want to give other people with physical acces to your computer, easy access to your account [13:49] jrib, did you help e how to connect it to my ubuntu [13:49] Znow, do you have sound in other apps and just not movies? if so. it sounds like a sound codec issue. You do have the w32codecs package installed? [13:49] !fixres > Phipho [13:49] Phipho, please see my private message [13:49] dr_willis, dont think so about the package [13:50] where to get it? [13:50] Znow: mp3s are working in vlc? [13:50] what should i do to have a program run upon logging in through the gui? [13:50] the sound works on the net [13:50] hmm 2 sec [13:50] that's not the bash shell profile is it? [13:50] amerinese: System>Preferences>session [13:50] no the sound doesnt work in VLC [13:50] neither with .mp3 files [13:50] !startup > amerinese [13:50] amerinese, please see my private message [13:51] erusul and jrib: thanks [13:51] <[nrx]> Aquahallic, sorry didn't see your reply. Try 'Custom Menu' [13:51] hi, i have no System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager. And nvidia drivers is not an option in System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers --- how do i install the nvidia drivers? [13:51] adante: which card ? [13:51] adante: Hardware Drivers [13:52] !envy | adante [13:52] adante: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [13:52] arvind_k: erm, sorry I was scrolled up and your message got cut off [13:52] where do I get the w32package? [13:52] !medibuntu > Znow [13:52] Znow, please see my private message [13:52] Znow: it's w32codecs [13:52] jrib, thats ok :) [13:52] Znow: install restricted extras [13:52] ahh ok thanks [13:53] where in the menu? [13:53] ScheissDrogen: ti420 i think [13:53] adante: nvidia HP ? look for linuxdriver [13:53] jrib: so, envyng is ok to use? like, somewhere down the track i am not going to be told i am an idiot for using envy? :] [13:53] my menu panel is not showing, how do I restore it? [13:54] ScheissDrogen: say again? [13:54] adante, nope :) [13:54] adante: nvidia HP ? look for linuxdriver [13:54] ScheissDrogen - Where do I get the w32codevs? [13:54] arvind_k: ok thanks :] [13:54] Znow: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:54] adante, envy is great. I usually do it manually but I used it the other day and it worked great. [13:54] thanks! [13:55] [nrx]: I'mma 'tard.... there's a "drawer" option in add to panel.. :)... ty! [13:55] blankthemuffin, that something works for you doesn't mean it works for everyone. I've heard stories of envy wrecking a system in minutes [13:55] blankthemuffin: ok cheers [13:55] <[nrx]> Aquahallic, so it'a s drawer you wanted :D [13:55] hischild: lol i didn't need to hear that [13:55] adante: envyng is easier, latest drivers are available from hp of manufacturer, often [13:56] Sure hischild, but any recommendation is only based on one's own experience no? [13:56] [nrx]: not really but it will work... .I really wanted a menu drop down... like "Applications" and "Places" is [13:56] hi [13:56] I'm still gonna dig around to find where to add those.. I've seen it somewhere [13:56] I'm searching for a good photos application [13:56] adante, there's a difference between envy and envy-ng. The later is safer then the previous one [13:56] ScheissDrogen: sorry what is 'hp' [13:56] I mean something similar to f-prot [13:56] Help! I can't mount my ntfs drive! [13:56] but faster if it's possible [13:56] <[nrx]> Aquahallic, if you right click on the panel, click 'Add to panel' in the list you can select 'Custom Menu' - that gives you the same menu system as Applications/System etc. You can then right click on that to edit the menu items :) [13:56] ScheissDrogen - ive installed what youve said, but still no sound? [13:57] adante: homepage ??!!! lol [13:57] !ntfs | zink055 [13:57] zink055: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [13:57] blankthemuffin, one's own experience and the community [13:57] hischild: oh, what does envy-ng offer extra? [13:57] adante: personally, I don't like envy [13:57] ubottu, that not work bro [13:57] There is a certain amount of risk with any automated system, but generally there is less risk using something automated than something manual when one's unsure of or not experienced with the system they are working with. [13:57] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:57] hi, where are my hwtest-gtk reports sent to? i can't find them from within my launchpad login, even if i type my email at the end of hwtest-gtk? [13:57] <[nrx]> Compiz ftw. [13:57] ScheissDrogen: oh right, yeah ok then [13:57] Znow: no sound at your pc at all ? [13:57] what package contains the snd-hda-intel kernel module? [13:57] adante, envyng is community developed [13:57] Yes there is [13:57] ubottu, did you have more sample [13:57] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:57] jrib: well like i mentioned, i don't know how to install it otherwise. i know you said hardware drivers but there is no option for nvidia stuff in there for me [13:57] in audacity fx... but not in VLC [13:58] anyone? [13:58] anyway, finished installing, time to reboot [13:58] jrib, but envyng is better in 8.04 than restricted drivers [13:58] Znow: vlc brings its own codecs, anyway... alsamixer installed ? [13:58] adante: have you tried installing the appropriate nvidia-glx* package? [13:58] Hello. Does anybody use a Toshiba Satellite A50, here? It is urgent. [13:58] no [13:58] arvind_k: i doubt [13:58] havent got that installed [13:58] mrxmike, about? [13:58] jrib: nup, too late now anyways! [13:58] greenhorn needs help with tascam us-122 - anyone? much obliged [13:58] arvind_k, personal opinion, they have worked perfectly for me every time. [13:58] arvind_k: aren't you left with a broken X on xernel upgrades? [13:58] arvind_k, the restricted drivers that is. [13:58] kernel even [13:58] !who > Znow [13:58] Znow, please see my private message [13:58] arvind_k: after some repos update, envy totally collapsed on my system yesterday [13:59] and it took 3 hours + a kernel purge to fix it [13:59] hischild, ya i know...they worked fine till 7.10 :) [13:59] [nrx]: yes.. but that gives me a duplicate of all the menus.. "Applications" "Places" and "System" [13:59] ScheissDrogen - havent got that installed mate [13:59] The nvidia-glx packages are useless when you want to actually use your graphics card. [13:59] does anyone know what package contains the snd-hda-intel kernel module? [13:59] Hello. Does anybody use a Toshiba Satellite A50, here? It is urgent. [13:59] <[nrx]> Aquahallic, you can then go in and edit them to whatever you want :) [13:59] mrxmike, jrib, touch wood they never happened to me :) [13:59] ScheissDrogen - is it the gnome one? [13:59] arvind_k, i've had 7.10, 8.04 and 8.10 alpha and they all work out of the box with the restricted drivers (have to enable them ofc) [13:59] greenhorn needs help with tascam us-122 - anyone? much obliged [14:00] Znow: its not surface-independent .... [14:00] ScheissDrogen - huh? :D [14:00] hischild, happens :) it breaks my X in here ... [14:00] ScheissDrogen - didnt understand that [14:00] [nrx]: Bahahahaha.... so simple it's stupid.... thanx [nrx] ! [14:00] The restricted drivers have no problems when updating the kernel, when the latest drivers are built by hand you simply have to re-build them after a kernel update - a simple process. [14:00] <[nrx]> Aquahallic, no problem, enjoy :) [14:01] blankthemuffin: defeats the whole point of APT [14:01] jrib, I'm not using apt when I build them by hand. [14:02] Znow: install that , reboot, then apps>multimedia>alsamixer : http://paste.ubuntu.com/43923/ [14:02] bgbgf [14:02] arvind_k, there are people who need them, ofc. However, recommending something because there are a few people who need it is not recommended. Check !worksforme. [14:02] blankthemuffin: the whole point of APT is so I can upgrade without getting my hands dirty [14:02] jrib, there are plenty of instances where apt just doesn't have up-to-date packages, building by hand or a automated script are the only options. [14:02] 영어로만...? [14:02] greenhorn needs help with tascam us-122 - anyone? much obliged [14:02] blankthemuffin, there usually is a reason why apt isn't updated then. for example stability [14:02] dose any one know where i can find this, its a list off many ips that advertise on Internet sites and you can block them pacifically. [14:02] hischild, i know :) i never did that ... :) [14:02] ScheissDrogen - thanks! [14:02] arvind_k, i never said you did :-) [14:03] blankthemuffin: stable, unstable, testing :) [14:03] Hi all question re: Open torrent files from Firefox with Transmission. I get an "unknown error" and it suggest I try saving the file first. I tried selecting "open with /usr/bin/transmission" which works once, but on subsequent clicks just download the .torrent files in /tmp - any suggestions? [14:03] I have 70% cpu because of animated adds [14:03] Znow: cu soon [14:03] does anyone know what package contains the snd-hda-intel kernel module? [14:03] tim1: firefox adblocker [14:03] tim1, there used to be a hosts blacklist site.. or use the adblock firefox extension. Or perhaps privoxy proxy.. or all 3! [14:04] Since I'm a developer I need the latest packages a lot of the time. And since I develop graphical applications I need the latest video drivers. I'm not saying that this is the best option for everybody, nor am I saying that I don't prefer to use apt, but on some occasions it's just not an option. [14:04] tim1 : in webbrowser ? try no script and adblock for firefox [14:04] ScheissDrogen: you seem to know your way round sound issues, familiar with the tascam us-122? [14:04] mrxmike: you can search with "sudo apt-cache search STRING" [14:04] ShackJack, i've had it before. Save the file and then open it with transmission (just drag the file on there) [14:04] well envyng didn't work [14:04] blankthemuffin: of course, it's perfectly fine if you don't mind that extra hassle [14:04] hischild, how do i open ebox? [14:04] mzwo : no, what a device is it ? [14:04] arvind_k, ebox? [14:04] What do you mean by didn't work adante, also what graphics card do you have? [14:05] DIFH-iceroot: doest lead to a result .. when i search for snd-hda-intel [14:05] !ebox > hischild [14:05] hischild, please see my private message [14:05] What is the name of the sound-applet in ubuntu? [14:05] hischild: Thanks, yes I know that part ;) Was wonder if there was a way to fix it so when I click on a torrent file in FF it will open Transmission properly and start it (or add it to Transmission and start it) [14:05] blankthemuffin: geforce ti420, didn't work as in, i can't load the nvidia module [14:05] ScheissDrogen: usb-soundcard. been trying to get it work, lsusb lists it, but i don't know how to select it. am a total greenhorn [14:05] error on "sudo modprobe nvidia" adante? [14:05] ShackJack, that's my workaround that has served me well for many months so far. [14:05] I'm having some small problems with the default Ubuntu cpu frequency scaling system. It seems that when I start doing something intensive( make -j2 ), plugged in or not, it scales the processor down to 1.6Ghz from the max of 2.2Ghz. Is there any way to curb this behaviour? [14:06] where can i install xp or in ubuntu? [14:06] vbox [14:06] amanulla: both [14:06] amanulla: yeah sure [14:06] arvind_k, i have no idea. Check the manual to see if it shows a default port. I'm assuming it has some default settings. [14:06] which one better? [14:06] hischild, ok :) [14:06] mzwo : mom, looking up [14:06] blankthemuffin: FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia [14:06] amanulla: you are asking in #ubuntu if ubuntu or windows is better? [14:07] to insatll vbox [14:07] amanulla: download vbox for ubuntu, start it, read the manual and have fun [14:07] ScheissDrogen: thanks [14:07] amanulla: That's like asking the barber if you need a haircut ;) [14:07] command to download vbox [14:07] <[nrx]> RTFM [14:07] amanulla: sudo apt-get install virtualbox [14:07] !vbox | amanulla [14:07] amanulla: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [14:08] ok i found it dose any one know how I can put the host file to use http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt [14:08] amanulla, vbox is the kind of app you really shoule read about. [14:08] tim1, append it to your existing hosts file . is one way [14:08] Well I suppose your choices now are to uninstall everything done by envy ( "envyng --uninstall-all" ) then either use the standard packages which are fine for basic use, or use the latest from the nvidia site which means you have to install them manually and re-run the installer every time you update kernel. [14:08] ok [14:08] Anyone have a fix for this? When I open torrent files from Firefox with Transmission I get an "unknown error" and it suggest I try saving the file first. I tried selecting "open with /usr/bin/transmission" which works once, but on subsequent clicks just download the .torrent files in /tmp. I want to be able to click the file and have it open in Transmission without having to save it first... [14:08] adante, ^^ [14:09] blankthemuffin: ok thanks [14:09] I can't seem to get medibuntu function [14:09] It Hello, is there any one here that is good at getting to monitors to display at their respected resolutions [14:10] in /etc/host?

I am trying to make the step from nano to vi for my cli text editor... however i seem to have trouble with the command mode functioning properly in ubuntu. when i start the program i can enter insert mode fine and edit text, however when pressing escape it does not seem to return me back to command mode. has anyone else experience this?

[14:16] recently i configured my graphic card in ubuntu now im getting a message at start up like this"u are now running at a low graphic mode so to get advanced effects configure ur graphic card" [14:16] what to do? [14:17] yup i tried to install grub with the last one i had, (recovere) but now it cant even start windows or ubuntu, and i guess i just need a clean install of grub [14:17] THANK YOU! You fixed my computer! [14:17] amanulla: configure your graphiccard [14:17] tj83, how do you know it does not return ?? [14:17] tj83: man nano or use gedit... [14:17] amanulla: use the ubuntu system-menue [14:17] can someone tell me, if i want to install the nvidia drivers from the command line, what packages do i need? [14:17] tj83, btw use vim... its easier [14:17] where can I define which program to use for music cds? [14:17] how? [14:17] what syatem menu? [14:18] amanulla: by clicking on it [14:18] ubuntu_, alright. there's an easier method then reinstalling. [14:18] on system? [14:18] ok [14:18] amanulla: kde/gnome/xfce4? [14:18] Anyone have a fix for this? When I open torrent files from Firefox with Transmission I get an "unknown error" and it suggest I try saving the file first.

[14:19] ShackJack: add the extension to firefox and give there the application to handle it [14:19] ScheissDrogen: am certain it's the us-122. that's waht is says on the box, anyways :-) pm coming [14:19] hischild: u mean my ubuntu filesystem? [14:19] tj83, vim is the same too [14:19] ubuntu_, yes [14:19] amanulla: what are you using? ikde, gnome, xfce4? [14:19] tj83: man vi [14:19] hischild: it is mounted [14:19] DIFH-iceroot: Hi Tried that - see original question... [14:19] ubuntu 8.04 [14:19] arvind_k, , well.... i will be attending school at ITT and need to use vi specifically but thanks for the suggestion [14:20] amanulla: so you are using gnome [14:20] when I try to run the DVD from terminal, mplayer shows a lot of errors saying "CRC check failed" [14:20] differentreality: click on system and look for screen-resolution or something like that [14:20] differentreality: sorry [14:20] then?

Then type this and substitute the for the location of your drive --> sudo chroot [14:21] i have system ->preferences->screen resolution [14:21] amikrop: or use xrandr 1024x668 [14:21] 768 [14:21] or what ever you like [14:22] hischild: i dont understand what to tyoe in [14:22] then?

You can install it by typing: [14:25] sudo apt-get install pastebinit [14:25] You will have to enable the component called 'universe' [14:25] bash: pastebinit: command not found [14:25] ubuntu_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:25] thats my message i got [14:25] ubuntu_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [14:25] ubuntu_, don't paste in this channel. [14:25] dr_willis, I'm telling this is not a single incident, all of my DVD that are copy protected fail to play in ubuntu [14:25] LjL, apparently not avaiable on the live cd. [14:25] aren't i allowed to paste max 5 lines? [14:26] hischild: well, you can still install stuff from the live cd... although, possibly, universe is not enabled [14:26] daredemo, sounds like the decss stuff isent isntalled/seen/being used then [14:26] LjL, appears to be the case. [14:26] lirel, when I try vlc in linux mint, it fails to play copy protected dvds [14:26] ubuntu_, can you pm me the output of the command mount? [14:26] ubuntu_: that's too much for a channel with 1300 people in it. you really should ask questions in one line, and use the pastebin for error messages and such [14:26] dr_willis, what can I do to make decss work? [14:27] it couldnt find pastebininit [14:27] which version of libdvdcss did you install? [14:27] lol, for a channel with 1337 people in it. [14:27] lirel, libdvdcss2 [14:27] daredemo, no idea.I just install the proper libs from medibuntu and it works for my disks on all 5 of my machines [14:28] hischild: it couldnt find the package [14:28] ubuntu_, are you on the terminal? [14:28] ya [14:28] ubuntu_, yes i've seen that. Please try this and PM me the output of the command (so not paste in this channel) --> mount [14:28] i've mapped my ubuntu laptop to my Vista desktop and and trying to transfer files to my vista desktop but all it says is calculating time remaining [14:28] it doesn't transfer the files [14:28] how do i pm? [14:30] ubuntu_: /msg nick message [14:30] ok thx [14:30] daredemo: could it be, that your player didn't recognice the new libs [14:30] ubuntu_: or if you have a GUI-Client click twice on the name [14:31] <[nrx]> ubuntu_: or if you have nice red shoes, click your heels together 3 times. [14:31] can someone explain why i do not have the option of installing nvidia drivers in hardware drivers manager? [14:31] ok :D [14:31] nrx: thx it worked :D [14:31] <[nrx]> :D [14:31] hi, quick question, how do i edit a system file with superuser privileges? sudo gedit fstab doesn't work for example.

[15:17] would someone be kind enough to help me with compile options? [15:17] ubuntu, find /boot/grub/stage1 [15:17] ddoom: use aptitude search to find the name of the package, then dpkg -L to find out what files the package installs -- grepping through that in less will probably give you what you want [15:17] ScheissDrogen, ooh. that's not a problem because i can have 4 partitions and 1 swap, right? :D [15:17] carrera, what do you want to compile? [15:17] arvind_khadri hd.0.0 [15:17] MySQL [15:17] jjlee: ok, i'll try that [15:18] I don't know what else to try anymore, "normal" DVDs play, copy protected don't, though I have libdvdread3 installed (libdvdcss2) [15:18] <_Pitbull_> I'm curious about this operating system Ubuntu. I actually don't know much about it. only that it's linux based. Now, I never used a linux based OS. [15:18] anybody who can help? [15:18] is 18 gb too big for a root partition?

[15:20] arvind_khadri: IN the end, the guy gets the girl ;) [15:20] if have a freeze on ubuntu... everytime with a start of a download [15:20] daredemo: searched the error on google seems like a mplayer bug... have you tried xine-ui ? [15:20] arvind_khadri: setup something :p [15:20] arvind_khadri: im not sure but so far i have done what u said before [15:20] ShackJack, hahaha :)) [15:20] There's something seriously wrong with my hardware. I'm positive it has nothing to do with Ubuntu.. It randomly crashes, I think it's the video card. I'll be doing something and the screen glitches out and I have to restart. Is there anyway to log everything and see what is happening when I get back into the system? [15:20] ubuntu, ok so when you reboot grub doesnt show up? [15:21] erUSUL, no, I haven't tried xine-ui, but vlc failed too [15:21] daredemo: same error? [15:21] arvind_khadri: it does show up but i get a error that it cant find that partition and it comes up about 8 lines of diffrent partitions, it worked untill i reinstalled grub, so i dont think the partitions are damaged [15:22] i have an old laptop with 128MB of RAM. is it possible to boot an 8.04.1 CD without running X? the prereqs on the CD says that Ubuntu needs at least 384MB [15:22] I have no idea what it could be.. it crashed on Ubuntu, it crashes on Windows. It crashes at the loading screen half the time. Other than that it runs perfectly fine. [15:22] ubuntu, well seems like the boundaries are toast... did you try re-installing Ubuntu? [15:23] Dezin1: you can configure syslog to log to a remote syslog daemon [15:23] arvind_khadri: i just installed win xp and ubuntu like 5 days ago i dont want to reinstall again [15:23] litage, you need to get alternate cd which contains text-mode installer [15:23] arvind_khadri: it was when i installed winxp and i installed grub again it messed up [15:23] Dezin1: you could also shutdown, remove the video card, boot into GNU/Linux, then ssh into the box. let it run for a while and see if it crashes [15:24] what filesystem is advisable for my home partition? [15:24] ext3? [15:24] Hmm, anyone of you having a rotated screen?

[15:26] Dezin1: uninstall it [15:26] I'm running 8.04 on a Compaq C751nr laptop and I keep having trouble with keystrokes on the keyboard going crazy. As I type, say, an email, the cursor will jump from the place I'm at in line to a line at the bottom of the screen or a random place in a line say 12 lines above where I'm typing....this happens in all applications I've noticed. Any ideas? Maybe a keymap issue or something? I don't know much about messing with the k [15:26] ScheissDrogen, can I make one partition with the mini OS and swap on it? hehe [15:26] Dezin1: just physically remove the video card. a computer doesn't need a video card to run [15:26] I have another card and when I put it in the screen doesn't come up on the monitor [15:26] litage: ubuntu will crwal with 128 MB find a lightweight distri aimed at old hardware like puppy linux or dsl [15:27] how do you open a terminal window in a folder in file browser? is there a package you can download to do that?

[15:29] but something tells me it won't be easy to get dvds working [15:30] erUSUL: yeah, i was just considering DSL. you reckon that's a better distro for old hardware? [15:30] well, I found this, which sounds promising for reading SIM cards: http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ccid.html [15:30] where do i find a driver for ati radeon mobility m 4mb, i want to run emerald theme (3d effects) [15:30] litage: Tried Xubuntu?

If it's not, you can try to get it fixed before release [16:17] Well.. [16:17] Seeing as the live cd had the same problem... [16:17] I think it's either something to do with my motherboard, or the device itself [16:17] H_M-Ubuntu: it could be the driver [16:18] ...It worked perfectly at first though, jrib [16:18] For 3 or more days, too [16:18] H_M-Ubuntu: maybe you just didn't notice [16:18] No, I think I would notice my systems CPU going to 100% [16:18] :) [16:18] * H_M-Ubuntu loves conky [16:18] hi all. Can i resize plenty of jpgs by commandline? [16:19] I have two Ubuntu machines (both running Hardy), I'm moving out of the house i'm in and one machine is staying here, the other is coming with me. I'd like to migrate a couple user accounts from the machine that's staying and move them to the machine that i'm bringing with me. Is it as easy as creating matching users on the machine i'm bringing, and then simply copying over the /home directories? [16:19] quatar-it: sure, checkout the convert or mogrify command in the imagemagick package [16:19] ok [16:19] thanks [16:20] I'll just stick to LAN for a while [16:20] It's not... impossible [16:20] Just annoying that the doors don't close all the way :) [16:21] Randocal: yes but maybe you will have to do a mass "chown -R user:user" on the home files [16:21] Randocal: not quite, linux recognizes every user by her UID, so there are a few things to look at [16:21] Randocal: becouse uid and gid could/wont match on the two machines [16:21] erUSUL if I ensure my users on both machines have the same GID and UID i'll be fine though, right? [16:22] erUSUL: sorry, my no was mot to your opinion [16:22] *not [16:22] Randocal: that will make things easier check the options of adduser to specify uid and gid [16:23] Randocal: seems like a "adduser --uid UID --gid GID " is all that you need [16:24] Perfect, thanks. [16:24] hi - does anyone know how I can transfer all my mail from osx mail to thunderbird on ubuntu? [16:24] is there a way to run the firefox 3.1 alpha along ide 3.0 on hardy? [16:25] bn43_: export the mail as mbox file(s) and then import it on TB [16:25] if monit is run and owned by root, can it stop another process that was run from monit and owned by root as well? [16:25] 2nd Question, can anyone recommend a good command line bittorrent client I can leave installed on a machine that I will no longer have physical access to. Something that I can just SSH into and do some torrenting. [16:25] i'm having the darnest time (about 8 hours now) trying to figure out why monit can't stop something. [16:25] ok - will try that [16:25] Randocal: rtorrent [16:25] !info rtorrent > Randocal [16:25] randocal, please see my private message [16:26] Perfect, thank you skarface. [16:26] Randocal: latest rTorrent has some problems with UTF-8 though [16:26] Randocal: you may want to compile your own :/ [16:27] (it's fixed in the latest subversion revision) [16:27] of course, if your torrents contain only ascii this is not a problem :) [16:28] can i update the nautilus in ubuntu 8.04 [16:28] $> mogrify -resize [HOW TO SET THE SIZE?] [HOW TO SELECT ALL FILES? *.JPG perhaps?] [16:28] thanks [16:28] Dabbu, every time a new ubuntu is released, all the component softwares are updated [16:29] quatar-it: did you take a look at the documentation? [16:29] Dabbu: why would you want to update? all security fixes are pushed down, is it relating to a specific issue? [16:29] komputes:tab browsing [16:29] Dabbu: shweet [16:30] jrib: yes, now :P [16:30] quatar-it: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/mogrify.php note that mogrify overwrites the original file so make sure you want it to do what you tell it to before you press enter! convert will save the original. [16:30] is there a reason vncviewer doesn't show an icon in AWN with hardy?? [16:30] if monit is run and owned by root, can it stop another process that was run from monit and owned by root as well? i'm having the darnest time (been trying for about 8 hours now) trying to figure out why monit can't stop something. if this isn't the right place to ask, what's the best place to find out? [16:30] i have an extra partition to where I am going to install damn small linux. what mount point to I name it?

[16:31] !latest | Dabbu [16:31] Dabbu: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. [16:31] true that. [16:32] usser, I have an extra partition. i want ubuntu to read it. i have to set a mount point for it. I am going to install damn small linux on it. what mount point do I set?

[18:13] domherre: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [18:13] danbh_intrepid: does it work well with firefox? [18:13] danbh_intrepid: yes, you can import a whole .VOB and edit it from there to whatever you need it to be. it's very touchy, though. there are some things you can and can't do, and sometimes it won't let you know until after you've tried writing the file. therefore, it involves a lot of trial and error. [18:13] glitsj16: If you mean it should be installed by default, it wasn't. I'm in Synaptic now, and it's downloading. [18:13] soundray: is the beta avabile thorugh that I need 6.5 coz of 3d support and it being free :-) [18:13] * Sephr gives up [18:14] Restarting Audacity.....

I actually have no idea, I've only ever used totem. Totem doesnt let you rewind or ff, which sucks, so I end up just downloading most clips that I look at [18:14] domherre: Vmware Server 2 RC1 is available and free (as in beer) [18:14] does anyone know how to change a partition's sd# [18:14] yes I know.. but that dosnt have 3d support :-( [18:14] tootoo [18:14] When I boot for the first time, it hangs on "starting hardware abstraction layer hald" and then shows a black screen and nothing happens.

[18:17] !alternatives > danbh_intrepid [18:17] danbh_intrepid, please see my private message [18:17] Sephr: remember, ubuntu is built by people doing it, mostly, in their spare time. nvidia support is actually sanctioned by nvidia themselves, therefore the nvidia support is extremely rock-solid. it's just a matter of installing the restricted drivers. [18:18] glitsj16: No errors; the only sign it didn't work is that Audacity is still "unable to open the sound device". [18:18] !nvidia | Sephr [18:18] Sephr: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [18:18] Sephr: you may wish to look into reading some documentation before jumping to incorrect conclusions, as well. [18:18] glitsj16: Know any terminal commands that might help? [18:18] Strife89: okay, perhaps after installing that you need to restart pulseaudio [18:18] Sephr: in my view, it's the vendor's fault. Vendors go out of their way to support MS junk, but tend to be very difficult when it comes to supporting free software. Vote with your feet! [18:18] what's so hard at supporting RAID-0?

[18:19] Sephr: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5880 [18:19] that's the only thing keeping ubuntu from not working on my laptop anyways [18:19] Sephr: you didn't read the URL? [18:19] Sephr: it's not hard, it's just special. Try the alternate installer. [18:19] Strife89: try "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart to get the daemon going again, might also be "pulseaudio -D" depending on your setup [18:19] k [18:20] anyone know how to activate wireless lan on ubuntu (fn+f1 doesn't work ) ???

[18:21] glitsj16: The sudo ... restart command didn't help, and the "pulseaudio -D" returned this: "E: main.c: daemon startup failed." [18:21] !offtopic | kb [18:21] kb: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [18:21] brb, going on xchat on my laptop that I've been trying to install ubuntu on [18:21] *sigh* [18:21] now I feel kinda stupid. [18:22] I should have installed Hardy Server instead of Hardy Desktop. [18:22] i hav awn in my startup sessions but yet it doesnt ever come on automatically??? any idea?? [18:22] Strife89: that looks like a pulseaudio configuration issue .. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5587712 has some things on that you might check [18:22] Kira: why? [18:22] Kira: why?/ [18:22] Kira: so reinstall [18:22] lol [18:22] :) [18:22] awrum ist amsg in konversation immer für alle channels in allen netzwerken oO dasi st schon das zweite mal das mir so eine peinlichkeit entsteht [18:22] kb: hier nur Englisch bitte [18:22] My little server has only 512MB ram and it easily runs out while processing RAW images. [18:22] !de | kb [18:22] kb: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [18:23] Gnea, i know how to configure wpa and stuff (i've got several linux machines). my only problem is this laptop which has an activation mechanism for its wireless features (atheros) [18:23] anyone know a torrent for the alternate amd64 installer that has >= 50 seeds? [18:23] Kira: server has no GUI. I think you made the right choice [18:23] hallo [18:23] I need to turn off GNOME to save memory. [18:23] Kira: so does mine. i've got a nice 1.5G swap for it. [18:23] wait... [18:23] right === gaurav__ is now known as gaurav_ [18:24] whatever happened to swap? [18:24] Kira: try logging in in failsafe (not failsafe gnome) and see if the memory savings allow you to do your processing [18:24] glitsj16: Right off the bat, I'm thinking that it's a conflict with obsolete packages (hence the instructions to remove them). [18:24] yes, running a GUI on a server is pretty silly... it's like running windows 2003 just to run a dns server. [18:24] is there a cad app that will edit a .vwf CADVANCE drawing file ? [18:24] Kira: swap is still setup per default, but it's very slow [18:24] What's a good way to debug a non-starting X? [18:24] buntuu: then you need to check the documentation for your system to see what it is. [18:25] Peanut: look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log [18:25] Strife89: could very well be yes .. lunchtime here, hope things get sorted, gdluck [18:25] glitsj16: Alright, go eat. :) [18:25] Kira: there's no reason to have a GUI on a server. you can always export the display over the network. [18:25] soundray: Already did - it's more like the Gnome part isn't running, the X-server is. [18:25] Kira, ehh if you should have installed a server - the fastest way to get there is to install the server rather than trying to take out gnome etc [18:25] Strife89: thx, i don't like cold french fries indeed :p [18:26] i finally got my network adapter card working [18:26] Gnea: exactly what I have in mind now: export the display over the network. [18:26] hey guys im using sed 's/[a-z]\+/fren/' and it works, but my question is how do i know when to use the \ to escape the chars and when not? for example i have to escape '+' in order to get the result i want, but i do not have to escape the * char [18:26] Gnea: FreeNX, right? [18:26] Kira, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ; sudo apt-get install rcconf << sudo rcconf and turn off gdm for next reboot >> enjoy [18:26] Peanut: then why did you say you had a non-starting X? Never mind. Have a look at .xsession-errors in your home [18:26] It's a HH install, and one user can log into X just fine, the other user gets X started but doesn't get the window manager and stuff. [18:26] Or something better? [18:26] even thought i'm wired right now at least i can take it places without having to partition in windows [18:26] glitsj16: Meh, I just had a pizza. [18:26] Gnea, what documentation? [18:26] anyone tried compiz yet? it sooooo rocks [18:26] buntuu: the one that came with the laptop. or the documentation you can find on the manufacturer's website. [18:27] Hmm, I should try out compiz on my server. :P [18:27] !compiz | hardcore [18:27] hardcore: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [18:27] Now, why would it be that my usplash screens are only visible (and then off-center) at 1024x768 and no other resolution? [18:27] (my "server" has crappy integrated graphics) [18:27] There's no real errors in .xsession-errors I see: it stops after 'SESSION_MANAGER=/local/devbak:/tmp/.ICE-unix/8324 [18:27] Kira: what about failsafe? [18:27] Kira: uhm, all you need is some sort of *nix running on a desktop or laptop on the network [18:27] hardcore: heh, this is offtopic, but I hate compiz. It makes me sick to my stomach, so much crap going on, windows moving in funny ways [18:28] failsafe? [18:28] That process does exist and is session-manager [18:28] !failsafe [18:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about failsafe [18:28] i love watching videos while rotating the cube [18:28] hola [18:28] Kira: it's a session option that you can choose at login [18:28] how i can video record my desktop ? [18:28] Peanut: are you sure you are fully uptodate? [18:28] with a video camera tamer [18:29] Kira: the simplest way to run a minimal session for trying out a single program, with no gnome hogging your RAM [18:29] just point and shoot [18:29] !screencast | tamer [18:29] tamer: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [18:29] tamer take a look at gtk-recordmydesktop [18:29] tamer, just write recordmydesktop on synaptic [18:29] danbh_intrepid: Yes: this happened after doing an apt-get update/apt-get updage and then I rebooted just to be sure as I got a new kernel installed. [18:29] So I'm up-to-date up to about 20 minutes ago [18:29] Peanut: can you downgrade to the old kernel?/ [18:29] danbh_intrepid: I'd rather not, as the other user on this machine can start X/Gnome just fine [18:30] thanks [18:30] It seems like gconfd is unhappy - it doesn't die, even if I -- the hung session [18:30] Am I the only one here having problems with HAL? [18:31] Theo__, yes [18:31] Theo__: yes. Everyone else has been flung into space by HAL already [18:31] is there a Ubuntu channel for ppc? [18:31] !ppc [18:31] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [18:31] I need help! [18:31] hehe, there should be an ubotu factoid for that [18:31] bonjour. [18:31] !ask > Theo__ [18:31] Theo__, please see my private message [18:31] Mine just says "I am sorry, I can't do that" all the time, Theo__ [18:32] Peanut: can yours lip-read? [18:32] So, I just removed a hard drive from my computer (contained nothing but a backup partition), removed that drive's mounting information from fstab. But now, I'm getting a lot of strange errors all over the place (cannot save files to /tmp/ in Firefox - not enough space). Also can no longer print from any applications (but printing a test page from the "Printer configuration" dialog works). When attempting to print from OOo, all I get is an error saying [18:32] "There was an error printing." [18:32] ok [18:32] ppc is pretty much dead now though [18:32] too bad [18:32] When I boot for the first time, it hangs on "starting hardware abstraction layer hald" and then shows a black screen and nothing happens. What is the problem and how do I solve it? system specs: amd 3800, 2GB RAM, GeForce 9600GT. [18:32] Peanut whats your entries look like in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom ? you can paste in pastebin [18:32] gnuvince_: I am now. Did you sort it out? [18:33] Theo__, start ubuntu in failsafe mode and reconfigure x [18:33] Reformer81: can you pastebin your /etc/fstab pls [18:33] How do I reconfigure it? [18:33] !pastebin > Reformer81 [18:33] Reformer81, please see my private message [18:33] savez vous comment réglé un souci de carte graphique, ma CG est un ATI readon 550x et lorsque je lance Ubuntu mon ecran envoie : "ne peut afficher ce mode video, veuillez choisir l'entrée 1280x1024 60hz" hors ma config est telle que.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [18:34] pingoparado: I know how to go into failsafe mode, but what do I do to reconfigure the x server? [18:34] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/43974/ [18:34] It only has two actual entries: GlobalFaceDir=/usr/share/pixmaps, DissalowTCP=false [18:34] soundray: Why would that screw up printing, though? That's my first concern at the moment. [18:34] !xorg [18:34] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

Use sudo [18:36] soundray: Just add that to the end? Okay, thank you. Any ideas on the printing? === zero__ is now known as nooblet === nooblet is now known as n00bl3t [18:36] Reformer81: this will fix your printing as well (pstoraster needs space in /tmp) [18:36] Kattollikisd: If you absolutely have to have a consistent root login, as the article says, use sudo -i [18:36] Kira: i've decided to write a howto for this, since no one else has done so, and since there are many ways to make it work right. [18:36] I installed the nvidia drivers via apt-get, but they don't show in hardware drivers. What's the text name for them so I can just enable them in xorg.conf? or is that a bad idea? [18:36] soundray: Ah. Thank you. Could you tell me why removing an extra hard drive would cause that? It wasn't being used for anything but extra storage. [18:37] the good people of Ubuntu-land. Kann someone tell me whether there is a ubuntu ppc support channel? [18:37] glitsj16: Hope you get this... I followed the tutorial you linked and I'm logging out ... if that fails, I'll reboot. [18:37] Gnea: that'd be nice. [18:37] I don't want to use Root in the terminal.. I just want to LOGIN as a root [18:37] pingoparado: I configured the xserver. when do /etc/init.d/gmd start I see the cursor but all the colors are messed up. I can hardly see the username input field. [18:37] ....out of curiosity. [18:37] Hi guys, need some help for setting up MIDI... When I try to load a soundfont I get: No Emux synth hwdep device is found [18:37] How many dbus-daemon --fork --print-addre(...) should one have? I have like like 7 of them [18:37] Reformer81: ubuntu adds the line I gave you to /etc/fstab by default. I think you may have accidentally removed it along with the line for your extra HD [18:38] Kira: give me a bit of time, I'll get you a url ;) [18:38] soundray: Ahh... thank you :) [18:38] hey i have a bootable IMG here and i want to install it on my flash drive, how do i do this? [18:38] Kattollikisd: why do you want to do that? that's a *bad* idea [18:38] Gnea: I am an example of people who want to try out Ubuntu, possibly to use it as a server, but who are too afraid to work without a GUI at first. [18:38] Theo__, but u restart it? do the dpk configure and restart... [18:38] ok [18:38] !test [18:38] sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [18:39] someone know a page with screenshots from linux desktops and that describes which themes , etc are used? [18:39] pingoparado: should i restart in failsafe or normal? [18:39] !themes > kardiel [18:39] kardiel, please see my private message [18:39] Theo__, normal [18:39] Ah.. killing all that has helped, I can login again! [18:39] Kira: you should try out xubuntu if you have low ram. Its lighter than gnome [18:40] Kira: have you tried the failsafe session? [18:40] pingoparado: Now, when I boot normaly, it gets to "Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald _" and just hangs. [18:40] Errr.. why am I having IO errors on /dev/fd0 ? Is that like a floppy drive? [18:41] Theo__, u have any pendrive connected?

[18:43] adante: id guess its an accessibility setting [18:44] (had to build a module to get ethernet support) [18:44] nothing on ASUS's website about this particular chipset [18:44] adante: is this a clean install? [18:44] bobertdos: if proper intall is 100%, where would you place a wubi install? [18:44] KenBW2: ahh that was it thanks [18:44] danbh_intrepid: yeah.. fixed anyway [18:44] adante: np [18:45] * Emprasoforvio burns issyl0's house down [18:45] :o [18:45] KenBW2: Well, I've never tried it myself, but I might say somewhere around 80 or 90 ;) [18:45] I installed the nvidia drivers via apt-get, but they don't show in hardware drivers.

[18:47] Kattollikisd: ask in the channel please [18:47] soundray: how to I initiate a remote failsafe session (say I'm using FreeNX and NX Client). [18:47] ZeetreX`: not only may you ask, but that is what this room is devoted to [18:47] *do [18:47] dunno how to solve the apt-cdrom problem "E: Failed to mount the cdrom" [18:47] couldn't find the answer in net [18:47] anyone know how to enable wireless on a laptop? (fn+f1 doesn't work) [18:47] butnuu: might be laptop-specific [18:47] butnuu: isnt that a hardware thing? [18:48] KenBW2: It should be. I'm not a hundred percent sure what happens to the home directory. That's where personal files are kept. so I don't know if Wubi would get rid of that or not. As with any other Windows program, registry keys probably get left behind and stuff, but nothing too out of the ordinary otherwise. [18:48] Kira: sorry, don't know. Do you get a gdm login screen via FreeNX? If so, it's just a matter of clicking Options in the lower left corner and selecting Sessions. [18:48] issyl0, dunno how to solve the apt-cdrom problem "E: Failed to mount the cdrom" [18:48] let me try [18:48] bobertdos: i just want it so the owner of the PC doesnt think ive messed about with it too much [18:48] what channel?

[18:49] so nobody had a problem like mine before? [18:50] im trying to execute gksudo using php's shell_exec but its not appearing any ideas why, i have to get it to run on the right tty or something? [18:50] Can someone help my to login as a Root? pleaces [18:50] bobertdos: is it easy(ish) to remove Bubuntu from a proper install? [18:50] ZeetreX`, restart computer [18:50] ZeetreX`: please provide more detail and context [18:50] Kattollikisd: Ubuntu has root account disabled by default [18:50] kattollikisd === efraim is now known as g3FR4x [18:50] ZeetreX`: maybe you have the wrong cd [18:50] Kattollikisd: whats wrong with sudo? [18:50] sudo passwd root as setup a password [18:50] KenBW2, wireless activation is a common problem (it seems, google). ubuntu knows the other hotkeys like sound on/off etc. but not fn+f1... [18:50] Kattollikisd, yes... u have to configure gdm to dos o [18:50] when i try to add a cdrom using apt-cdrom, it give the error "faild to mount the cdrom" after pressing Enter [18:50] butnuu: what make/model [18:50] danbh_intrepid, no, it's the right one === cshadowrun is now known as CShadowRun [18:51] Anyone ever sucessfully ported Linux to a GBA SP? [18:51] sudo apt-get cdrom [18:51] [18:51] I don't what to use sudo [18:51] ZeetreX`: is it inserted? [18:51] ZeetreX`: are you trying to upgrade? [18:51] Kattollikisd: you dont want to? [18:51] soundray, yes [18:51] KenBW2: Well, a "proper" install would be giving Ubuntu its own hard drive partition. The only way to get rid of that is to wipe that partition, which is not something you want to do on a whim. [18:51] danbh_intrepid, nope. just trying to add some cds to repository [18:51] bobertdos: so i should stick to the Wubi method [18:51] KenBW2, FujitsuSiemens Amilo 2732 in this case. it's a atheros card [18:51] and. the thing that i want to do ... i can't do i twith sudo [18:52] Kattollikisd: what wouyld that be [18:52] KenBW2: Particularly because it's not your system to mess with, yes. [18:52] repository list is /etc/apt [18:52] i have done this before, but after reinstallation this error happens [18:52] bobertdos: k, cheers [18:52] change the GTK them [18:52] *sigh* everything just keeps crashing :-( [18:52] in the root [18:52] ZeetreX`: is the CD-ROM mounted? [18:52] soundray: no. I don't get the login screen with FreeNX (at least I don't know of a way so far); I have to input my username and password before making the connection [18:52] katto, sudo passwd root and setup a password [18:52] Kattollikisd: oh, er... i read it somewhere but cant remember now [18:53] butnuu: drivers? [18:53] butnuu, how can i determine that? [18:53] lspci ? [18:53] lshw? [18:53] Kattollikisd: Why can't you do that with sudo? If you really need the login to be persistent, use sudo -i. [18:53] butnuu: er... im not big on hardware [18:54] Azazel-AZ: do not advise this without warning [18:54] Kattollikisd: Although, if you're doing graphical things, we recommend gksudo. [18:54] soundtray: what is risk verse using sudo -i or -s? [18:55] Azazel-AZ: there is a very strongly worded factoid from ubottu about that, please take no offence [18:55] !noroot > Azazel-AZ [18:55] Azazel-AZ, please see my private message [18:55] Kattollikisd: my graphical applications like synaptic share the same theme as my user and this is a pretty fresh hard install [18:55] when i play vlc through an external monitor on my laptop the picture only appears on the laptop how can I set it to the monitor, help [18:56] How do I check how many users have logged in at the moment?

[18:56] Kira who | wc -l [18:57] Kattollikisd: I suspect that your issue is that you've installed a custom theme and superuser programs are not using it. Is that correct? [18:57] im trying to instaoll ubuntu with wubi. The cd/umenu.exe file gives me a "Demo and full installation" and "Learn more" buttons. wheres the wubi one? [18:57] yes [18:57] Kohlrak-> i think you just have to make sure your sshd server is running and then you can run your vino-server [18:58] KenBW2: Online, actually [18:58] bobertdos: eh? [18:58] bobertdos: is it a special cd? [18:58] Kattollikisd: this is bug #24280. The easiest way to workaround it is to just install your custom theme system-wide in /usr/share/themes/ [18:58] Launchpad bug 24280 in gksu "applications run through gksu cannot use themes in ~/.themes" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/24280 [18:59] penis [18:59] n00bl3t: do you have a question about ubuntu support? [18:59] KenBW2: No, you download the installer, run it, and it downloads everything needed. [19:00] i am a beginner in ubuntu... it gonne be hard to uderstand [19:00] understand * [19:00] amenado: it doesn't like it for some reason... do i have to install some kind of bot to auto run it or something? [19:00] there are alot of good books about ubuntu, for around 30$ [19:00] KenBW2: http://wubi-installer.org/ [19:00] bobertdos: im sure i ran an ubuntu cd in windows once and it gave me a wubi option. ho hum [19:00] Kattollikisd: essentially, you just copy your theme from ~/.themes/ to /usr/share/themes/ [19:00] tell me.. how to change the theme in the terminal ? [19:01] ohhhhh ok [19:01] I also have too many apache2 forks on standby, heh [19:01] * Kira goes to make apache fork less.

[19:06] bobertdos: "Can I force Wubi to download and install a 32 bit version of Ubuntu? Yes, either pre-download the appropriate 32 bit ISO manually and place it in the same folder as Wubi.exe or start Wubi with the "--32bit" argument." [19:06] bobertdos: sounds promising === Mituzora is now known as mituzora [19:06] I completely removed anything on my system with firefox or mozilla before installing it again. [19:06] try running from terminal window to see if any error message [19:07] Azazel-AZ: Tried that and nothing shows. [19:07] It just stays running.

After installation, if I startx I get 1900x1200 resolution. Reboot and I get a "low resolution" warning and it runs 800x600. Anybody know how to deal with the nvidia resolution issue?

[19:09] Azazel-AZ: Seems right. rwx on the directory for my user. [19:10] Kira: that's fairly normal. [19:10] isleshocky77 let me look at my system and compare [19:10] hi, what is the best terminal irc client? [19:10] !best | sebastian_ [19:10] irssi? [19:10] sebastian_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:10] irssi [19:10] My first Ubuntu install made a 19GB Swap file, which it does not use a true waste of space. I have 8GB of ram on a 64 bit Ubuntu and would like to reduce that swap file to 2GB, is there a way of doing this without reinstalling?

That's outrageous!" [19:11] normally I agree with the !best factoid, but not for console irc. :) [19:11] Azazel-AZ: When i run from terminal is just starts the process with no other response. [19:11] usally when people ask that they mean what is the most used one? [19:11] Azazel-Az, what's some things? [19:11] Bobertdos, I haven't tested headphones. Let me try them. [19:11] isleshocky77 crazy idea, try sudo firefox [19:12] chlorate - open a terminal window [19:12] sebastian_: that would mean that we'd be assuming. [19:12] I already copy their file of the .theme to usr/shared/theme, What I have to do know? [19:12] Kattollikisd: that's it [19:12] Azazel-AZ, isleshocky77: gksudo firefox [19:12] Kattollikisd: but you spelled it wrong. It's /usr/share/themes/ [19:12] Kira: it's a database, they're known for being memory hogs [19:12] Azazel-Az, Then type? [19:12] Gnea: then which one is the most beginner friendly? [19:13] lsmod | grep -i snd [19:13] yea I know... [19:13] sebastian_: stick with irssi and you won't go wrong [19:13] Kattollikisd: it's also not just the .theme file. It's the whole directory for the theme [19:13] !irssi | sebastian_ [19:13] sebastian_: Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. [19:13] Gnea: i tried it but i dont understand how to scroll up :p [19:13] Azazel-AZ: Could it be running on the wrong screen or something? In the process monitor it says it's running on pts/2, nothing else says that. [19:13] sebastian_: page up :) [19:13] sebastian_: try the pageup button :) [19:13] ok :) [19:13] thx [19:13] maybe, try pkill firefox [19:13] Azazel-Az, I typed that, now what am I looking for? [19:13] ohh ok [19:14] so you see the sound modules loaded? [19:14] how do i unlock the apt-get thing? [19:14] sebastian_: sudo apt-get [19:15] Azazel-Az, I think there are a bunch of things that said snd_ [19:15] well thats a start [19:15] Gnea: E: Couldn't find package Irssi [19:15] Azazel-AZ: Running as sudo didn't work [19:15] type: lspci [19:16] E: Couldn't find package lspci [19:16] maby not for me :p [19:16] npviewer.bin is taking up 50% of my CPU according t system monitor, why could that be ? === sean is now known as Guest92397 [19:16] isleshocky77, ok that rules out permission problems do you have another account you can try, su over to that and try to run it [19:16] Is there any information on how to properly setup audio on current (8.04) HH? Most of my problems seem to have to do with audio, and it might be that having esd instead of pulse is causing the problems? [19:16] sebastian_: let's start elsewhere: apt-cache search irssi [19:17] Palace_Chan, you on a 64 bit system? [19:17] sebastian_: apt-get install irssi (not Irssi) [19:17] Gnea: i found it :) [19:17] chlorate, you should see you sound card in the list, you need to write down the info for it [19:17] Gnea: thx :) [19:17] Peanut, google [19:17] sebastian_: cheers [19:17] usseer, i believe so [19:17] Azazel-AZ, I think it detected it Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia [19:17] usser, i believe so [19:17] fucking ndiswrapper >:( [19:18] pingoparado: that's what I'm doing, never mind.

[19:18] Peanut, u can configure sound via gnome [19:18] Kattollikisd: no problem [19:18] i'm losing disk? [19:18] usseer, so as long as i run a browser it will snatch that much power ? [19:19] ok, google +ubuntu +'ati tech..." and see if there is a module or a fix I doubt your the first [19:19] does anyone have a problem with ndiswrapper doing odd things, like making your wifi card unresponsive?

(I'm on an asus EEE pc) [19:20] usser, wow how annoying [19:20] your sound card is bug #106843 :( [19:20] Launchpad bug 106843 in linux-source-2.6.20 "No sound - ATI Technologies Inc SB600 Azalia (Fixable!)" [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/106843 [19:21] Azazel-Az, what does that mean? [19:22] sorry if this is off-topic but have large number of photos to rescale. Any suggestions for easier ways than one by one in GIMP? [19:22] that means there is a bug in the ubuntu operating system and you need to do a few things to fix it, I will try to look at info and see if it is something I can help with [19:23] madmartian: convert or mogrify (depending on if you want to keep the original) from the imagemagick package [19:23] thanks [19:23] usser: Palace_Chan: flash works for me, and I've heard that you can get it working on 64bit. Thats not broken [19:23] madmartian: ImageMagick (convert) [19:23] Hello, I have an SQL server or two installed, some Apache, a Samba, how can I tell what servers are installed and running? [19:23] Basically, it runs at 1024x600, is there a way to scale this somehow? [19:24] Azazel-Az, Cause I googled that bug and I saw all this code and I don't know what to do or what it means. [19:24] ok, still in terminal? [19:24] Azazel-Az, yes. [19:24] danbh_intrepid, if it crashes on every other site i'd pretty much consider it broken [19:24] ok, I skimmed through it. It was an older kernel that had the problem, but there is a configuration option we need to verify is in a file [19:25] Azazel-Az, ok. How do I do that? [19:25] give me a few to make sure I'm reading this right, plz [19:25] Ok.. audio actually works, sort of: if I do 'cat /bin/ls >/dev/dsp' I hear sound. So something around esd is causing the problems/crashes [19:25] Azazel-Az, take your time. No rush! [19:25] usser: yeah, thats true. I guess I haven't had that problem. Flash only crashes on me when the site also tries to mix in windows only tech [19:25] thnz [19:25] thnx [19:26] I want to see what ports, sockets and whatever else I can find are running [19:27] Hrm. Anyone got a Marvell network adapter working ubuntu? Or have an idea how I can figure out which one it is? My Marvell network adapter is listed as "unclaimed" and my wifi needs to download the broadcom firmware to get installed. [19:27] biouser, use nmap to scan for open ports [19:27] toshiba model # plz [19:28] I am trying to find some basic commands to see what is going on with my system... I have kind of dived in to trying to get a bunch of different stuff running too quickly and I have installed some with apt and some from source some from bin, etc. [19:28] usser: thanks for the tip [19:28] Azazel-Az, Satellite A305D I think is what it is. [19:30] Does Ubuntu come with a graphical IRC client? [19:30] still reading a few things, your wireless is not going to work out of the box either it looks like :( [19:30] TheMaxzilla: pidgin [19:30] TheMaxzilla: you can install others like xchat of course [19:30] I've got a TOshiba P305-S8842 with a Marvell Yukon network card. How do I get it to work in ubuntu? I just reinstalled and it does not work. It shows up under lshw -C Networ as "UNCLAIMED" [19:31] TheMaxzilla, sudo apt-get install xchat === HD is now known as Guest10018 [19:31] ok ready? [19:31] jrib: Okay, thanks. I like Konversation, but I don't know if it'll work with. [19:31] Ugh.. as soon as I've tried to play one of the sounds in the 'Preferences/Sounds' menu, gnome is completely hosed and I can't even start up a 'terminal' anymore. [19:31] TheMaxzilla: with what? [19:31] Azazel-Az, I know that too.. that's a whole nother beast. :( [19:31] Azazel-Az, but I am ready. [19:32] jrib: Ubuntu. I'm using kubuntu, but I needa switch. [19:32] Killing esd makes the desktop usable again (though silent, of course) [19:32] ok.. sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-generic [19:32] why my recordmydesktop doesn't work [19:32] TheMaxzilla: of course it will work, ubuntu and kubuntu use the same repositories. They just have different default packages [19:32] tamer, startit from terminal and paste the error message [19:32] nfs doesn't show in the desktop, how can i have it [19:32] Azazel-Az, Alright. [19:33] So I don't have to install any other gumbo for Konversation to work, jrib? [19:33] it stops when it says encoding the virdeo [19:33] video [19:33] TheMaxzilla: APT will install everything you need [19:33] Turms, gconf-editor apps-nautilus-desktop check there [19:33] sudo -s [19:33] Turms, if not u probably added media in mnt or other folder rather than /media [19:34] Azazel-Az Alright. What's that do? [19:34] brings you up as "going root" so you can change the file you need to [19:34] Azazel-Az, Okay I see that now.

Nothing happened or is that what's supposed to happen. [19:36] nope [19:36] pingoparado: no idea. When you try it let us know. [19:36] no chrome for linux# [19:36] cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base you'll see the line is added to the file [19:37] pingoparado: You mean the google browser? A few months till it is even available for mac, I heard [19:37] Azazel-Az, So do I type in cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [19:37] godzirra, it seems to be quite simple... i like that... ill search for linux packages [19:37] if you want to verify it updated the file yes === Mimi is now known as MissMimi [19:38] how i can install rpm in ubuntu ?

It's better to find a native package for Ubuntu, though [19:38] !alien | tamer [19:38] tamer: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [19:38] you need to reboot to see if it comes up. and then let me know, if not I'll show you how to try the next option [19:39] wat program do you want to install tamer [19:39] PM me when you get logged back in, going to get some more coffee [19:39] if i want to backup apt software sources and keys, should i just backup sources.list and trusted.gpg? [19:39] is trustdb.gpg needed too? [19:39] Azazel-Az, Alright I will reboot and test my speakers. [19:39] Is there anyway that I can install Ubuntu, and uninstall Kubuntu on my machine without a live CD? [19:39] yao_ziyuan: yes. Also /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [19:40] TheMaxzilla: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop && aptitude purge kubuntu-desktop ;) ? [19:40] TheMaxzilla: Or vice- versa ;) === richard is now known as Guest72217 [19:40] ShackJack: I'd go vice versa and use sudo on both ( TheMaxzilla [19:40] ) [19:40] Will it take all of my stuff off? I want a clean restart. === eddie is now known as Guest72872 [19:41] soundray: you mean trustdb.gpg is required? [19:41] soundray: It's a compound statement, so I don't beleive it's necessary (I may be wrong, though) [19:41] yao_ziyuan: yes [19:41] TheMaxzilla [19:41] soundray: ok [19:41] maniheer: Yes? [19:41] TheMaxzilla: including documents etc. ? [19:41] !puregnome | TheMaxzilla [19:41] TheMaxzilla: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [19:41] ShackJack: the sudo will not have an effect on the second aptitude call [19:42] soundray: O.K.

It was working for awhile then suddenly stopped. So hopefully it doesn't do it again [19:45] danbh_intrepid, im in that channel... why u asking about flash bug? [19:45] ive heard where it crashes all of firefox [19:45] I didn't know the answer, just how to find it. Don't want too much credit [19:45] hey ppl, anyone can tell me how to check the monitor colour depth? [19:45] When I send stuff to /dev/dsp, I get sound. When I start 'esd -beeps' I don't get the beeps, does that help narrowing down the problem? [19:45] especially on youtube [19:45] maniheer: I just read something about a fix for that today... [19:45] pingoparado: well, I want to know if they are fixing it, or if we are stuck with it, etc [19:46] got a question about my scanner [19:46] i think so [19:46] in flash 10 [19:46] it should not stop now. you physically configured it instead of letti g it auto configure. and since its a laptop I guessing you won't be change the sound chips anytime soon [19:46] want to go after your wifi?

I have the driver CD for it. [19:49] I have installed flashplugin-nonfree but I dont have flash in firefox, why? [19:49] danbh_intrepid: more of a bug with pulseaudio then flash [19:49] danbh_intrepid, easy use alsa instead of pulse [19:50] how do I switch? [19:50] danbh_intrepid, configure sound in gnome [19:50] danbh_intrepid, system-preferences-spund === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [19:50] askand: did it say something about permissions after it finished? [19:50] ok, there is a wrapper. theory. why write a million dirvers when you can write one wrapper program and run the windows ones. might be a place to try. but first let me look into the problem a bit. we need to get more info about your computer from terminal [19:50] How do I run a shell script? I've downloaded the file veetle-0.9.6-linux-install.sh that I want to run.

[20:04] hi. synaptic is telling me that samba is a broken dependency but I can't remove it since apt-get remove samba segfaults. [20:04] Chlorate: hold on..

They seemed generic enough for madwifi drivers though... [20:04] Hi, I installed libflashsupport but flash wont work [20:04] Chlorate: are you using 32bit or 64bit? [20:05] birkoff, im googling "googling"??? haha is that a word? [20:05] askand: still not working? [20:05] ok, we are getting out of hand here. what is game plan, ndiswrapper, mad wifi?

[20:09] IndyGunFreak, Azazel-Az: So what do you both suggest? [20:09] ndiswrapper and use the cd that came with the card [20:09] Chlorate: what model laptop do you have?

[20:20] [nrx2]: follow the conversation, then tell me whats ridiculous [20:20] <[nrx2]> I have.

[20:22] mckennie yep thats it like i say i downloaded last years driver and the internet connects but does not show signel strength so i think i need to compile the drivers of the disk [20:22] IndyGunFreak but vlc + libdvdcss didnt work for my Lord of the Rings DVD .....

Today I deleted that location, but think somehow the settings are persisting because I am getting an ip conflict on a network. Have done 'network restart'. Wondering where to look for the problem... [20:36] butnuu: first, see if System-Admin-Hardware Drivers offers you a driver for your card [20:36] butnuu: 32bit or 64bit? [20:36] soundray: butnuu it will be listed in restircted driver, but it won't work [20:36] ok, thanks ShackJack... the last time i've tried to install just a minimal X11... but with no success... let's if, this time, i get a working system! [20:36] 32bit [20:37] IndyGunFreak, 32bit [20:37] I installed a plugging in my amsn that is "Transparent", that plugging have to make my amsn look Transparent. but It doesn't look transparent, everytime that I do a Restart or shutdown with the amsn opened, is when look transparent for a seg. then close. and continue the restart. their something I can't do? [20:37] butnuu: if that doesn't work, you should try compiling a recent version of madwifi. The eeepc help page has instructions for that: [20:37] IndyGunFreak, so what can i do? [20:37] !eeepc | butnuu [20:37] butnuu: Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [20:37] m4rk: Open terminal window (run via Alt-F2) then run xcfe4-panel ? [20:37] butnuu: type this w/o quotes.. "/join #indygunfreak" there's like 4 wireless discussinos going on here right now. [20:37] butnuu: (that laptop has a recent Atheros card which is probably similar to yours) [20:38] ok try this, amybe over compilcationg issue. click on places on top menu, is there a cd rom option [20:38] ShackJack: is that the name of it? hmm, it says command not found. It was working fine up until day before yesterday [20:38] soundray, cool [20:38] if not click on computer and look in there [20:38] soundray, i'll try that [20:38] m4rk: xfce-panel (had it fc backwards) [20:38] thanks [20:38] what is considered the best program for connecting to a server via ssh? [20:39] fwaokda: ssh [20:39] m4rk: actually xfce4-panel [20:39] hello [20:39] ShackJack: thanks, that's got it back! :) :) [20:39] m4rk: np [20:39] now the question is, why isnt that loading during startup [20:39] MrKennie, is it free? [20:39] I'll go and look into that [20:39] fwaokda: sure, it should be installed by default [20:40] m4rk: Mm.... not sure right click on it or go to cp and make sure either top-or bottom one is selected... [20:40] I must admit, this problem caught me off guard. whl would guess we can't read the cd === root is now known as Guest10422 [20:40] fwaokda: just open a terminal and type ssh yourusername@somewhere.net [20:40] hmm ok thanks [20:40] Audacity is still giving me trouble [20:40] .... [20:41] i've got a problem with flash, it has no audio; I had a problem with sound before and fixed it by setting "ADC capture/output device" as the sound output device in the sound preferences dialogue. Is there either a way to make flash use a similar enough setting or is there a way to fix this problem properly? [20:41] MrKennie, sweet thanks it worked [20:41] Azazel-AZ: google will turn up zip files of 64bit drivers for that device [20:41] do you see the cd drive under computer? [20:41] fwaokda: cool, you're welcome [20:41] trans: try 'sudo apt-get install libflashsupport' [20:42] !info libflashsupport | trans [20:42] indy, lets just get it working to start. we can't mount the dang driver cd ugh.

If it makes any difference APPARENTLY it was a DVD. [20:43] trans: restart firefox after the installation [20:43] Azazel-Az, I had no clue it was a DVD. I figured it was a CD also. [20:43] lol [20:43] can someone help me? im trying to use testdisk and i dont know where recovered files go or what im doing really [20:44] ok, so open it with the places menu computer and open the disk up so we can get the drive off it [20:44] * anris hugs Chewy_ looks like me === Omar1 is now known as Omar87 [20:45] I installed a plugging in my amsn that is "Transparent", that plugging have to make my amsn look Transparent. but It doesn't look transparent, everytime that I do a Restart or shutdown with the amsn opened, is when look transparent for a seg. then close. and continue the restart. their something I can't do? [20:45] anris: umm okay [20:45] * Drk_Guy realizes the speed of his new vanilla kernel, but he realizes he has to go [20:45] Chewy_: testdisk comes with extensive docs. Start here: /usr/share/doc/testdisk/html/testdisk.html [20:45] Azazel-Az, lemme find iy [20:46] Azazel-Az, Any clue what it'd be called btw? [20:46] is this the right channel for ubuntu beginners? [20:46] no good on the "sudo shutdown -h now" still hung and didn't power off the computer [20:46] Chlorate_: usually they are .inf files [20:46] look for a drivers folder, then there will be 2000 nt xp vista etc [20:46] Stonehambey: no, we're all l33t experts. :).. of course its for beginners [20:46] inside say the xp open xp [20:46] soundray: i dont know where to find that directory, im very very new to ubuntu/linux [20:47] #ubuntu-women [20:47] [20:47] For Ubuntu women [20:47] soundray: that didn't seem to work. do i need to configure anything after i install that package? [20:47] Azazel-AZ, It's vista though [20:47] ah ok, I was put off by the number of people in here :P [20:47] anris: You want /join #ubuntu-women [20:47] ok, then open the vista directory [20:47] Stonehambey: :) [20:47] soundray: where can i go to access usr folder? [20:47] Stonehambey: Most are in active convo - just lurking... [20:47] *aren't [20:48] Chewy_: open a terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal) and enter 'firefox /usr/share/doc/testdisk/html/testdisk.html' [20:48] thx :) [20:48] thanks [20:48] ah, the usual IRC pastime of lurking :P [20:48] I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about fan drivers? Since I'm having a bit of a problem with my fan running high when using ubuntu [20:49] copy vista folder to your desktop, just drag and drop [20:49] get entire folder [20:49] trans: depending on what you've tried up until now, you may have to undo those changes. Or perhaps you didn't really restart firefox -- perhaps log out and back in again to make sure. [20:49] fan? depens on how hot your pc is? [20:49] Azazel-Az, sec [20:49] Stonehambey: Not sure there are fan drivers - I think that's related to the mboard(?) [20:50] it's a hp dv2700 notebook [20:50] when I run ubuntu, the fan is consistently high [20:50] I have spoken to various linux people and forums, but nothing seems to have solved it so far :( [20:50] Stonehambey: what's teh probs [20:50] hello party people [20:50] * bavardage has just joined channel [20:50] which is a shame, cos I really like it otherwise :) [20:50] never know.. may be able to help [20:51] Stonehambey: Tell the fan to "just say no" ;) Seriously though, is there perhaps a setting in BIOS that maybe can adjust it? [20:51] if im trying to find a ntfs partition with testdisk and it wasnt ever bootable will it be findable? [20:51] Hello, I need to help a friend through "remote desktop". I recon it is VNC underneath. The problem is that my friend is behind a NAT (a "router"). Which port should he open/forward in the NAT? [20:51] So I was wondering if you nice people could tell me how to raise the file limit on a partition without reformatting it [20:51] Stonehambey: The only way to have any effect on fans at the software level is upgrade chipset and so forth on the motherboard. Now, one thing that may help fan activity is to not use compiz. Your video card has to work harder with that and of course, that will heat your system. [20:51] Stonehambey: what model computer? [20:51] not a dell? [20:51] I heard about BIOS [20:51] Fixedy: file limit? [20:51] hello [20:52] Stonehambey: not a dell, is it? [20:52] here is some more info I posted on a programming board I'm a member of :) [20:52] yeah, like the maximal number of files you can create on the partition [20:52] http://cboard.cprogramming.com/showthread.php?t=106767 [20:52] In addition: does the "remote desktop" facility support any sort of firewall traversal? like uPNP or so...? [20:52] anyone know? [20:52] anybody know if its possible to sort albums by genre in rhythmbox ? [20:52] I was on the phone to a linux expert for about 45 mins and we managed to figure out that it's not an acpi issue [20:52] hey guys how come when i turn 'swap on' in my partition editor the next time i boot my computer it's not automatically turned on? i have to turn it on each time...how do i make it so it stays on automatically each time i boot? [20:52] Fixedy: what sort of wall have you hit? [20:52] whatever that means :P [20:52] what does acpi -t report? [20:52] Chewy_: testdisk looks for signatures of partitions when the partition table is invalid. Whether it will find a partition or not depends on how extensive the corruption is, not on whether it was ever bootable or not. [20:52] as in are things rather hot? [20:52] or are the fans just running w/o reason [20:53] w/o reason [20:53] Stonehambey: Are you still just running the live version of Ubuntu? [20:53] banisterfiend_: /etc/fstab [20:53] soundray: well i reformated it somehow on accident today :( [20:53] I can deal with the shutdown issue for me 2 options (rebboot and turn off as soon as bios screen flashes) or boot into puppy linux and use it to shutdown [20:53] about 15 mins after I fire it up [20:53] the fan runs high [20:53] I have the same issue as the above guy [20:53] Gnea: I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but it tells me the HDD is full even though there's plenty of space available, and since I recently had a script create over a million tiny files, I figured that was the problem [20:53] banisterfiend_: add a line for it to /etc/fstab [20:53] banisterfiend_: edit /etc/fstab and add in the swap [20:53] and doesn't slow down until I turn the machine off [20:53] !fstab > banisterfiend_ [20:53] banisterfiend_, please see my private message [20:53] soundray: can't i do it through the partition editor thougH? [20:53] Fixedy: okay, can you pastebin the exact error please? [20:53] I have a swapfile on partition- of second drive but can't get ubuntu to use it instead of the small one on the 1st drive [20:53] i mean without having to actually manually edit config files?!/ [20:53] banisterfiend_: no [20:54] Azazel-Az, I didn't find any vista folder. [20:54] soundray: if i reformated will it be able to recover that? (quick format) [20:54] on dvd, what are the folders and/or files you see? [20:54] banisterfiend_: there is nothing wrong with "manually" editing config files [20:54] I get 56 degrees C, when I try acpi -t [20:54] Chewy_: I don't know [20:54] is that hot? [20:54] i know that soundray, i just dont understand why there isn't a way to do it automatically [20:54] are you sure there isn't? [20:54] Stonehambey: that IS pretty hot [20:54] 56c = 132f [20:55] thats ok for a cpu [20:55] banisterfiend_: you can reinstall ubuntu. That will generate a new /etc/fstab [20:55] hmm, the laptop has been on for a while, although I do use a laptop cooler [20:55] Gnea: well, not really. because it's dependant on what program i try to create the file with. PHP tells me it couldn't open the file as there is no disk space left, for example [20:55] Stonehambey: mine is currently 62 degrees, but that's been at 100% for past 10 mins or so [20:55] and feeling the bottom of the laptop it's not any hotter than usual [20:55] * bavardage is compiling a kernel [20:55] chlorate: still here? [20:56] banisterfiend_: DONT REINSTALL [20:56] really no reason [20:56] you almost never have to reinstall linux [20:56] Azazel-Az, well Ive looked and the only thing I found was netcfg.ini [20:56] hi everyone, can anyone tell me how to make .NFO files in ubuntu? [20:56] ok, thats good, drag it to desktop [20:56] soundray: well i see the swap in the file, it's /dev/sda3 so why doesn't it automatically turn on when i boot my system? [20:56] banisterfiend_: I agree with bavardage. [20:57] When running certain applications, there's a process that causes a spike in CPU usage every 10 seconds or so. Anyone know how I can quickly determine which process is causing this? Maybe a way to log resource usage of different applications over a period of time? [20:57] banisterfiend_: pastebin your /etc/fstab [20:57] Fixedy: okay - is this occuring on the system you're on, or a remote system? [20:57] ok [20:57] there is no .inf or .sys files on dvd? [20:57] elninja: I'd install and run htop [20:57] keep your eye on it [20:57] banisterfiend_: because there is no way for any "automatic" procedure in ubuntu to know whether you want to use that swap partition for ubuntu. [20:57] Azazel= If puppy shuts down ok- and it has the same kernel is there something I can look for on it to bring into ubuntu? [20:57] Azazel-AZ: So I tried firefox on another brand new users account and figured out that firefox works, but it's just incredibly slow. Like It takes 10 minutes to start, then 4 minutes per key click to type in the address bar. Anything? [20:57] soundray: ok i see what's going on, i have an onboard sound card and a sb live card an even though i have the onboard card disabled in the bios, it is sending flash's sound to it rather than to the sb live card [20:57] thanks bavardage [20:57] Gnea: This is it. it's my own PC [20:58] what command to check what version of ubuntu i have [20:58] Fixedy: try clearing your firefox cache [20:58] banisterfiend_: it could be dedicated swap space for another OS on your disk, or it could be a pure hibernate rather than a swap partition. [20:58] im having problems with libc6, it exits with status 139 [20:58] mizipzor, uname -a ? [20:58] can someone please assist me? [20:58] Azazel-Az, only some .sys files.

[20:58] banisterfiend_: just add the swap line to /etc/fstab, it's not even worth discussion automatiing that. [20:58] Gnea: thanks [20:58] Fixedy: to delete files so you can use pastebin [20:59] trans: reconfigure this behaviour via System-Preferences-Sound [20:59] where are packages stored for installation?

[21:09] sebastia1: go read the manual [21:09] double click on it and open the dang thing up [21:09] soundray: ok, thanks for your help anyways =) [21:09] sebastia1: and edit ~/.irssi/config [21:09] Fixedy: and this is occuring on your / fs? [21:09] kunim : got ati help already ? === schmidtm_ is now known as schmidtm [21:09] ScheissDroge1: no :( [21:09] gnea: yes [21:09] sebastia1: http://irssi.org/documentation [21:09] which card ? hardy ? 32 or 64 [21:10] mrkennie hi thank you very much its a shame its one or the other but you are a born again star i am very gratefull to you thank you... it was a very annoying thing [21:10] hardy 32 bit and ati hd 3200. [21:10] Azazel-Az, It's opened. What do you want me to grab? [21:10] Fixedy: okay. i've noticed that you've got a few different hard drives installed (IBM, Maxtor, Samsung) and it looks like only the Maxtor is the drive being used right now - is that correct? [21:10] banisterfiend_: if you change your partitions, the device name can change. The UUID stays the same, until you reformat the partition. In general, the UUID change has made things more robust -- your situation is the exception [21:11] darren: I'm please it works for you :) [21:11] !uuid | banisterfiend_ [21:11] banisterfiend_: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [21:11] everything. make a folder on desktop called wifi and put the files in there [21:11] the radeonhd driver from hardy does not seem to work with it.. [21:11] gnea: yes [21:11] and the fglrx driver fails to build the module [21:11] mckennie thanks again dont have to spend another night with no sleep searching the internet [21:11] kunim: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8-8-x86.x86_64.run [21:11] Azazel-Az, done [21:11] how do I update openoffice 2 to openoffice 3 with the update script provided in the file? [21:11] darren: it's not the best solution I agree [21:11] darren: hehe, you're very welcome [21:11] ScheissDroge1: this is the official installer? [21:11] !tab | darren [21:11] what is name of .inf file in wifi folder [21:11] darren: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:11] (like ati one)? [21:11] kunim : shall be the latest ati driver from ati hp for linux [21:12] ok [21:12] mrkennie yer but wish i spoke to you befor reformating my drive 1 sec il look [21:12] Question: Why does the aptitude purge command leave so much junk behind? It never actually removes all the traces of a program from my system.. why is this? [21:12] btw: make sure to save a backup of that dang driver! [21:12] kunim : download it... === nick_ is now known as NickR78_ [21:12] Leefmc: What does it leave behind? [21:12] ScheissDroge1: yes, maybe worth a try to use it. [21:12] so you can reload laptop in future [21:12] Damn. Still locking up. [21:12] leefmc: sudo apt-get autoremove [21:12] Azazel-Az, lol You got it. net5521.inf [21:12] Fixedy: well, it doesn't look like a FS/software problem, but rather a hardware problem. either you've got interrupts colliding with each other, one or more of your hard drives are dying, or you've got bad HD cables. [21:12] kunim : open a terminal then, response again [21:12] how do you install ssh server [21:13] Azazel-AZ: when you have a chance I have 2 isses that I want to ask you about [21:13] mckennie ok i have no idear wher the wifi folder is [21:13] Gnea: Oh... so you think it's not related to all those files I created? [21:13] kthakore: you can't update openoffice.org2 in ubuntu. You can do a parallel installation, though [21:13] !ssh > spiritssight1 [21:13] spiritssight1, please see my private message [21:13] ndiswrapper -i ~/wifi/net5521.inf [21:13] maniheer: autoremove does something completely different [21:13] ScheissDroge1: thanks :) will give it a shot [21:13] Fixedy: heh, that's what those files are telling me. :) [21:13]  spiritssight1: apt-cache search ssh [21:13] darren: just remember if you want to use the built in card again to remove the line you added to the blacklist file. [21:13]  spiritssight1: apt-cache search ssh* [21:13] Gnea: Oh... that's unfortunate... Well, thanks for your help! [21:14] soundray, I downlaoded the beta and it had an update script in it that askes me openoffice's installation dir [21:14] darren: wifi folder? [21:14] Azazel-Az, Error: no ndiswrapper utils found! [21:14] soundray, so I give it /usr/lib/openoffice [21:14] soundray, so I give it /usr/local/lib/openoffice [21:14] Fixedy: http://pastebin.com/d5b87daf3 [21:14] kthakore: please don't use this for Ubuntu -- it'll make a mess of your installation [21:14] soundray, oh [21:14] apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils [21:14] Flannel: Well it almost never removes a lot of the contents of the preferences directory (~/.appname), and depending on the app it'll often leave behind things in /usr/lib, etc. [21:14] Fixedy: unfortunate how? [21:15] soundray, how would I do the parallel install and also make sure I can delete it quickly? [21:15] apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils* [21:15] kunim: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.6908 [21:15] Flannel: to me, junk means not needed dependencies [21:15] oh shutdown does ubuntu simply run all the init scripts with 'stop' instead of start? [21:15] * on [21:15] soundray, just do sudo dpkg intall * in the folder? [21:15] Flannel: In this case i purged screenlets, it left behind a ton of screenlets files, .screenlets, along with a bunch in /usr/share/screenlets, and /usr/share/app-install/desktop/screenlets-manager.desktop, etc [21:15] ok [21:15] kunim: remember this cmd to copy xorg.conf back if problems occur [21:15] I get it [21:15] Gnea: unfortunate in the way that my HDD might be dying [21:15] Azazel-Az, Package ndiswrapper-utils is not available, but is referred to by another package. [21:15] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [21:15] is only available from another source [21:15] However the following packages replace it: [21:15] ndiswrapper-common [21:15] E: Package ndiswrapper-utils has no installation candidate [21:15] kthakore: which of the download packages did you choose? [21:15] Chlorate_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:16] kunim: driver on desktop ? [21:16] try again with * at end [21:16] lol [21:16] that sucks [21:16] Fixedy: true, but there are ways of finding out what the real problem is. i didn't say that the hard drive is actually dying or not. ;) [21:16] soundray, the one I downloaded from download.openoffice.com/3beta/ [21:16] its there a channel op in room [21:16] Is there a way to install Ubuntu 8.04 using an LVM to contain 2 hard-drives? [21:16] Gnea: Yeah. How do I find out, though? [21:16] soundray, I downed a whole lot of deb files in a tarball [21:16] kthakore: there are several packages offered for download on that page [21:16] Azazel-Az, thank you. [21:17] soundray, deb 32 then === NickR78_ is now known as NickR78 [21:17] ok, got the utils? [21:17] soundray, it also had the update script in it [21:17]  IronMan:yup, alternate installer, manual partition [21:17] kunim: driver on desktop ? [21:17] ScheissDroge1, thank you [21:17] seahorse just crashed on my computer, I would like to submit the apport bugreport - but wouldn't the coredump contain personal data like private keys? [21:17] kthakore: can you give me the full name of the base package? [21:18] Azazel-Az, Yeap. [21:18] What are common culprits of hardy lockups ? gutsy 100% fine. [21:18] Fixedy: shut it down, disconnect the IBM and Samsung drives, turn it back on and see if the problem persists. [21:18] is there any wasy to see what fonts are installed? [21:18] *way [21:18] try the ndiswrapper -i ~/wifi/net5521.inf [21:18] soundray, ok BEB300_m3_native_packed-1_en-US.9328 [21:18] ScheissDroge1: yes, anything special to consider or just run it? [21:18] oh that looks like the 64bit version doesn't it?! :D [21:18] kthakore, and this ooobasis3.0-base_3.0.0-3_i386 [21:18] kthakore: I mean of the deb. Something like "openoffice.org3-base_version.deb" [21:19] kunim: sudo mv /home//Desktop/ /usr/src [21:19] couldn't open /home/michael/wifi/net5521.inf: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.9 line 219. [21:19] kthakore, and this ooobasis3.0-base_3.0.0-3_i386.deb [21:19] oops [21:19] srry [21:19] kunim: cd /usr/src [21:19] kthakore: ah, okay. You should be able to install this and the other packages with 'sudo dpkg -i' [21:19] ls ~/wifi* [21:20] Gnea: The thing is, it works fine if I delete some files, but if I create a large portion again, the problem comes back. Which is also why I assumed i had reached the limit of files creatable [21:20] kthakore: to remove them, you would then have to 'dpkg --purge ooobasis3.0-base' [21:20] kunim: sh blablainstalerfile.run [21:20] soundray, yay!! then just point dpkg to this folder and gor dpkg -i folder/* [21:20] rite? [21:20] ScheissDroge1: ok [21:20] Azazel-Az, second [21:20] ScheissDroge1: does "Generate Distribution Specific Driver Package" work? [21:20] kunim: reply when ready... [21:20] kthakore: essentially, that's the procedure. No guarantees, though, that this won't mess anything up [21:20] hi [21:20] I need help [21:20] <.< [21:20] !ask [21:20] 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. :-) [21:21] kthakore: it's definitely better than trying the update script, though [21:21] ScheissDroge1, nice name :) [21:21] Fixedy: it is not a good idea to assume, it will only lead to frustration and inefficiency. [21:21] ok i completed a search with testdisk what do i do now? [21:21] ScheissDroge1: got so far. it asks me either the above or just "Install" [21:21] gnea: Touché [21:21] soundray, np only newbs need guarantees [21:21] Azazel-Az, ar5211.sys data2.cab layout.bin _Setup.dll setup.inx [21:21] data1.cab ikernel.ex_ net5211.cat setup.exe setup.iss [21:21] data1.hdr ISSetup.dll net5211.inf setup.ini [21:21] !paste | Chlorate_ [21:21] Chlorate_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [21:21] KnomeDE: I don't think you can just list a directory as they're usually spread around a lot of folders. But if you don't want to search for them, just open openoffice document and see the choice of fonts it gives you [21:21] kunim: why not a package for later usage, but you need the install [21:21] I need help installing Nvidia drrivers on linux. I insstalled the restricted ones but they aren't working. [21:22] can someone help me with testdisk? [21:22] Fixedy: the problem is, as dmesg has presented, a hardware issue. As a result, you're getting filesystem errors. [21:22] Also has anyone gotten amarok to load their ipod without having to install KDE4 ? [21:22] souler: check nvida HP or ! envng or !nvidia [21:22] afternoon folks [21:22] hm does just support rpm as it seems. [21:22] ndiswrapper -i ~/wifi/5211.inf [21:22] how can I give another account sudo access with out giving them my password [21:22] carandraug, i was figuring that [21:22] so normal install it is. [21:22] KnomeDE: also, it seems it also works if you go to Applications > accessories > Character map [21:22] Fixedy: after all, if the hardware doesn't work, what good is the software? :) [21:22] spiritssight1: add the user to the admingroup [21:22] spiritssight1: add the user to the admin group [21:23] kunim: you need the install [21:23] couldn't open /home/michael/wifi/5211.inf: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.9 line 219. [21:23] ScheissDroge1: ok. processing :) [21:23] Gnea: Yeah... but how would it be any other harddrives fault if I'm only having the problem on this one? [21:23] kunim: reply when ready...

[21:24] soundray, nice it works [21:24] forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 [21:24] Azazel-Az, It spammed it. [21:24] can someone help me with testdisk, im new to ubuntu and have no idea what im doing [21:24] lmao [21:24] souler: HP=Homepage [21:24] I did [21:24] kthakore: I've tried OOo3 on Mac OS. I think it's very nice [21:24] Fixedy: and by 'useless', I'm referring to hardware that isn't required for the system to work minimally [21:24] KnomeDE: you can take a look a this page as well https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts It shows the folders where they usually are. You can list those folders yourself or write a script that lists them all for you if you plan on doing that a lot of times [21:24] souler: Linux driver there ? [21:24] Gnea: makes sense. I'll be back in a second [21:24] where can i change so i can change the sounds in gnome? [21:24] ok, did it work in directory? [21:25] !envyNG [21:25] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [21:25] Fixedy: okay [21:25] Azazel-Az, I have no clue. [21:25] !envyNG>souler [21:25] souler, please see my private message [21:25] ScheissDroge1: ok. installation seems to be succesful! [21:25] soundray, how do u launch it ?

[21:26] ok.. next, lets set it up, its in and working [21:26] kthakore: type 'ooff' and hit Tab twice to see if it completes it to ooffice3 or something like that [21:26] Hallo, jest ktoś z Polski? [21:26] ndiswrapper -m (will make it recome up at reboot) [21:26] is there any reason why pages every so often will take ages/refuse to load? [21:26] Just moved my g'friend over to ubuntu.... "YAY"... I had an ubuntu machine that's my fileserver sharing out dirs with samba and when she went into her network places on winblows she could see those shares fine. Now that I've moved her over to ubuntu hardy when she goes to "Places->Network" and browses the MSHOME workgroup she sees the server but when she double clicks it the shares do not show.

[21:28] kthakore: do a 'sudo ln -s /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice /usr/local/bin/o3', then you can launch it with o3 [21:28] kunim: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ,sry [21:28] ok, no prob, lets back up a step. in terminal type iwlist [21:28] Hi i hava a bit strange question regarding VPNs :) [21:28] ScheissDroge1: woot! thanks it worked!

Ive downloaded em from Nvidia, they stopped working every time I restarted my compyter. and now I used the restricted drivers installation. still nothing working. [21:29] kunim: also configure monitor [21:29] dmsuperman, i found a torrent client with web interface for you [21:29] Leefmc: apt will never touch anything in your homedir, but everything in /usr/share/screenlets ought to be removed with purge. Try using apt-get instead of aptitude [21:29] soundray, but then this will be orphaned when I delete oo3 with dpkg [21:29] ScheissDroge1: yes, everything looks fine now, resolution and refresh rate. [21:29] thanks again [21:30] :-D [21:30] sorry iwconfig [21:30] anyone knows ? [21:30] kthakore: yes, but you will be able to deal with that, since you're not a newbie :) [21:30] Azazel-Az, Nope. Nothing there, same as last time. :\ [21:30] Are the screenlets working for somebody? [21:30] souler: which card ? [21:30] ifconfig [21:30] Flannel: Ugh :o, i wish they would just combine efforts and make one single command that does it all right. I always seem to get help from people who swear one command over the other, but admit both do stuff the other wont.. why is there two? [21:30] one from the 7th series [21:31] soundray, lol, but is it possible to include this command in the .deb file of oo.deb and then dpkg -i will take care of it ? [21:31] !who>souler [21:31] souler, please see my private message [21:31] Flannel: As far as in my home dir though, i thought that was the point of purge? To remove configuration files, and start a program fully fresh [21:31] Azazel-Az, I see only ethernet and local? [21:31] souler: got the driver from nvidia HP ? [21:31] look at docs hold a sec. the driver is loaded, so it will work [21:31] kthakore: sure, you can regenerate the deb package, but how is that easier than doing 'sudo rm /usr/local/bin/o3' when the time has come? [21:32] nope [21:32] Leefmc: purge is to remove the global communication files. All you need to do to remove user configs is delete the stuff in your homedir [21:32] anyone familiar with VPN ??? [21:32] souler: which card ? [21:32] try this: ndisgtk [21:32] Leefmc: The idea is: Should removing an email program remove all the email? What if you're switching from one program to another, and they use the same thing? etc [21:32] apt-get install ndisgtk [21:32] Flannel: Ah, well its just one more step hehe [21:32] Leefmc: aptitude sometimes does funny things if you don't *only* use aptitude. apt-get is generally a better bet. [21:32] graphical installer [21:33] soundray, true but I wanted to distribute this to my mom's comp so she can do one click install [21:33] Leefmc: Well, apart from that, the package knows nothing of anything in your homedir. Touching your homedir with package stuffs is a bad idea. === Omar1 is now known as Omar87 [21:33] Flannel: Well, imo, yes, if you want to remove all traces of a program, then it should remove the emails. Imo, "purge" should "purge" your computer of the program, where as remove should just uninstall the program but not touch configs, etc. [21:33] soundray, and she doesn't even know what a terminal is [21:33] Azazel-Az, Okay. I can do this, it looks like windows. Lol. It's not code! [21:33] Flannel: Gotcha [21:33] !ScheissDrogel how do I see on linux? [21:33] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:33] Leefmc: apt-get currently doesn't do anything aptitude doesn't (well, except have the little TUI thing with no arguments) [21:33] I just found the reference to it. lol sorry [21:34] Azazel-Az, Okay. It says it is installed [21:34] Flannel: So is apt-get more advanced? [21:34] Issue fixed - thanks to Wolf_Pup on Puppy linux [21:34] Shutdown issue fixed [21:34] type iwconfig [21:34] Flannel: Will one eventually become king? (Or rather, is it planned?) [21:34] Leefmc: Uh, apt-get has all the features of aptitude, with none of the loyalty issues. [21:34] kthakore: you want to flog your poor mom with beta software? I'm glad you're not my son... ;) [21:34] Flannel: K, i'll start using that from now on [21:34] souler: sch..1, not L , lspci in terminal ?

[21:41] ScheissDroge1 what next [21:41] i have a message like " the server is not an IMAP4 server" [21:41]  Gerinych: is the unallocted next to ur systempartition ?

[21:54] and now it cant find it ; ; [21:54] magnetron: sorry. certain opages just refuse to load/load really slowly, at random times [21:54] i have already made modifications to the kernel, it has to specificly from this source tree [21:54] when i manually set up the connection nothing happens [21:54] KenBW2, there is no apparent reason for that [21:54] magnetron: but its like 50% of pages, so its pretty annoying [21:55] ActionParsnip: i have autocompletion for this on my irssi config ;) headers and voilà! [21:55] later [21:55] purpleback: power router off and on as well as system system, see what you get [21:55] did that [21:55] magnetron: is there any... any reason it could be down to ubuntu [21:55] Ok I leave, see you guys [21:55] tritium: some sort of "make" target? [21:55] KenBW2: like I said, I use VM and have had no issues like that. [21:55] benjaminvm: sorry, can't help you there [21:55] question: mike wont record.. sound output fine.. reinstalled and played w/ alsa.. no go [21:56] MrKennie: but i mean theoretically [21:56] KenBW2, i have never heard about any similar issues [21:56] KenBW2: try another browser [21:56] KenBW2: and there's no reason your choice of OS would effect internet performance. [21:56] purpleback: if you manually set your settings does it work? [21:56] purpleback: have you hidden your essid [21:56] guntbert: tried Opera and FF [21:57] 1st question) no 2nd) no [21:57] KenBW2: and your proxy-settings are ok?

[22:00] Martin_vW: it's possible. Don't submit such information if you have been using valuable keys. Try to reproduce the problem as a different user which you set up only for testing, then you can be sure you aren't transmitting anything private [22:00] KenBW2: cycle the power on your modem [22:00] purpleback: in terminal, ping [22:00] MrKennie: cycle? [22:00] actionparsnip: is my router's IP my dns? [22:00] KenBW2: power it off, leave it a few seconds and power it on again [22:00] purpleback: no your gateaway [22:01] purpleback: its your default gateway's ip [22:01] MrKennie: tried that [22:01] how do i find that? [22:01] MrKennie: im in vista now, with no problems at all [22:01] Thanks, erUSUL, but does that check for all printers?

[22:01] KenBW2: well, if you're not in ubuntu I doubt anyone can help. [22:01] nope not working [22:02] "Destination Host Unreachable" [22:02] purpleback: what driver you using for the wireless?# [22:02] MrKennie: id like to use ubuntu again (i hate vista), but if i cant use the net then its pretty annoying [22:02] urm how can i check? >.< *sorry for being stupid* [22:02] KenBW2: btw, if I were you, enable the firewall. In terminal type sudo ufw enable [22:02] MrKennie: what will that do [22:03] KenBW2: enable the ubuntu firewall [22:03] anyone? [22:03] MrKennie: i guessed that. but why] [22:03] A favourite app for a particular purpose seems to be shared by the whole system, as opposed to a particular application, so KDE apps get launched even by Gnome and XFCE apps (e.g. Konqueror being launched by Pidgin). This annoys me, since I like to have apps for the DE in session launched. I seem to remember coming across a command in Debian a while back called update-alternatives or something, which I think had something to do with it. [22:03] KenBW2: or you can install and use firestarter or whatever [22:03] KenBW2: either that or you're wide open to the internet [22:03] fixedy: make sure your root is set correctly [22:03] gnea: found the problem, forgot to go to grub, sorrz [22:03] soundray: I already had apport submit the files to launchpad, but I didn't post the bug report. Oh well, I just hope the best :) [22:03] MrKennie: oh, youd recommend that to any PC, not just mine? [22:04] KenBW2: any pc that is directly connected yea [22:04] fixedy: np [22:04] gusy, i've set chmod -R ugo+rwx /D and from root i've created a file /D/new.txt I opened this file from the normal user and after adding something to it i don't have the permissions to save it ... why? because i said ugo+rwx and -R [22:04] oneQuestion1: pastebin the output of 'mount' [22:05] KenBW2: anyway, your problem, you can try using ping and mtr to see if you get any packet loss [22:05] MrKennie: will try in a sec then, thanks [22:05] Martin_vW: it's not worth using hard cryptography if you then risk compromise like that. It's best to delete your keys and regenerate them. [22:05] purpleback: well did it work out of the box or did you have to set it up? [22:05] oneQuestion1: well the file was created by root so it is owned by root and has the permissions the root's umask says [22:05] purpleback: please direct your text [22:05] gnea: ok, grub is installed, am rebooting [22:05] ActionParsnip: dont know how :D to that direct the text thing, also it worked out of the box [22:05] ??? [22:05] oneQuestion1: the chmod you made before creating the file did not affect the file [22:06] Hello friends. [22:06] hello there [22:06] can someone give me a little help with an install? [22:06] i've set the -R a+rwx after the file was created too and still nothing [22:06] Is there anyone around using Hardy and with one nokia smartphone available? [22:06] ActionParsnip: but when i went on vacation it all wen SPLAT because i tried to connect it to an ethernet that didnt work and so now it cant conncet to anything when i dont manually configure it i cant even click the option "connect to wireless" [22:07] oneQuestion1: what gives ls -l ? [22:07] corunum, whaz up? What and where are you trying to install? [22:08] hey, I'm trying to install Ubuntu Studio. but my cd drive doesn't read until an os is selected [22:08] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5 2008-09-06 23:07 new.txt [22:08] so I'm not sure how to change it to get it to install [22:08] Well, do you mean that is not possible to boot straight from cdrom? [22:08] Hi all - been searching forums all day, wondering if anyone here familiar with issue of Macchanger seeming to corrupt iwl4965 wireless card managed mode functions... [22:08] oneQuestion1: so you see, nobody except root can write to it [22:08] Any idea how to save a smb url in nautilus in the user@server format? ie, smb://user@server/share It always takes out the user@ for me.. :( [22:09] as in after changing wlan0 mac with macchanger, can't connect to any networks any more, only monitor mode works [22:09] well I read I need to get my cd drive to be the first in boot priority, but I'm not sure how [22:09] fixedy: cool [22:09] and no, it doesn't boot straight to the cdrom [22:09] does anyone know of a good program for ubuntu that designs web pages and other html stuff? [22:09] corunum, that depends on the BIOS of your pc. [22:09] corunum: that's done on the Bios set up . differs from machine to machine [22:09] alguem BR? [22:09] vassler: kompozer [22:09] !br | anj0rafa [22:09] anj0rafa: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português. Obrigado. [22:09] corunum: what kind of machine are you using? === kyo is now known as fixed1 [22:10] But generally speaking, there should exist a key combination to access it. [22:10] ok [22:10] a dell inspiron 1525 [22:10] Like F1, F5, etc. [22:10] gnea: ok, I'm done, what now? [22:10] I try f1 and that takes me to the "select os" thing [22:10] corunum, and what are the options available? [22:10] and a bit nervous to try anything else and kill my computer :O [22:10] hey everyone, I'm trying to restart vncserver but I can't find something like "/etc/init.d/vncserver restart", so how can I do it? [22:10] corunum: at startup, see message to enter setup press F2 or del or sth [22:10] F12 is boot device select [22:11] so if i made any change to /etc/fstab how can i apply it without rebooting the computer? [22:11] F12 is temp boot device select* [22:11] oneQuestion1: mount -a [22:11] oneQuestion1: sudo mount -a -o remount [22:11] let me reboot to see [22:11] oneQuestion1: remount the partitions you made changes to [22:11] corunum: need to enter setup, find the boot order, it's got instructions there, change cd to first boot device [22:11] on my vostro it's F1 for bios and then you can scooch drives up and down in boot order I think [22:11] corunum, relax. Is not possible to do any damage when running from live cdrom. [22:11]  oneQuestion1: sudo unmount -a && sudo mount -a [22:11] well I'm not running from a live cd, at least I don't think so [22:11] ScheissDroge1: that won't work right [22:12] ScheissDroge1: umount is better:) [22:12] yay I found the bootsequence guys [22:12] Hi there -- I am sshing to an ubuntu box from my OSX box and my delete key does not work as expected. This is odd because my other linux boxes (which are not ubuntu) understand what I am typing just fine - is there some weird option I need to set in ubuntu to make it behave properly ? [22:12] jrib: for the system partiton not, a see guntbert [22:12]  oneQuestion1: sudo umount -a && sudo mount -a [22:12] corunum, congrats. :-) [22:12] fixed1: now we need a current output of dmesg === joshua__ is now known as xomp [22:13] okay so do I put the cdrom a number 1? [22:13] oneQuestion1: do anything that was suggested above but not what ScheissDroge1 has said [22:13] if chmod isn't enough to let a normal user write to my file .. then what should i do? [22:13] corunum: yes [22:13] hello i have a problem to comiple a driver for an usb EDGE modem [22:13] oneQuestion1: if chmod isnt enough then you did it wrong... [22:13] jrib: why ? root won't be unmounted.. [22:13] oneQuestion1: you never pastebinned what I asked :/ [22:13] ID 19d2:2000 [22:13] #ubuntu ls [22:14] yay! I'm on the install page. thanks guys [22:14] i don't know what pastebin means ... :) [22:14] the driver on the cd works fine for kernel 2.6.24 of hardy [22:14] !pastebin [22:14] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [22:14] oneQuestion1: you might try chmod -v ..., so it isn't so quiet [22:14] but on intrepid 2.6.27 fail [22:14] oneQuestion1: you said you did the chmod to the directory *before* creating the file. how on earth would the chmod affect a non existing file ??? [22:14] !intrepid | Evas [22:14] Evas: 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! [22:15] how could i do it wrong? i said "chmod -Rv a-rwx /D" and i cant write to /D/new.txt ... why? [22:15] Hi [22:15] Um... [22:15] oneQuestion1: pastebin the output of 'mount' [22:15] oneQuestion1: that command removed all permissions [22:15] oneQuestion1: ls -alh after you do that and see what the perms are... [22:15] gnea: http://pastebin.com/d791857ca [22:15] I am trying to do cryptsetup, but I get error messages. [22:15] erUSUL, i want to try to fix now before it is too late (after the release) [22:16] oneQuestion1: becouse you created the file as root!!! only root can change it! [22:16] how could i do it wrong? i said "chmod -Rv a+rwx /D" and i cant write to /D/new.txt ... why? SORRY [22:16] !who | oneQuestion1 [22:16] oneQuestion1: 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 :) [22:16] erUSUL: dont be ignorant... w chmod you can make it so others can edit roots files. [22:16] Evas: take that to #ubuntu+1 that's where you can find help about it [22:16] I got a [!!] Configure the network window that says network autoconfiguration failed [22:17] ubottu: thanks [22:17] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [22:17] whats DHCP guys? === NetEcho__ is now known as NetEcho [22:17] oneQuestion1, can you show this happening (with ls -l and stat output for the file) in a pastebin? [22:17] fixed1: awesome. now use it like you normally would and see if the problem happens again. [22:17] mindrape: o.0!!! yes but he didn't chmoded the file becouse the file did *not* existed when he did the chmod he created the file *after* doing the chmod. what's so hard to understand about it ??? [22:17] corunum: its the protocol that assigns dynamic IP addresses. [22:17] oneQuestion1: Sounds like the file is on a filesystem that does not support permissions, like FAT or NTFS [22:18] oneQuestion1, context is important; often, the problem isn't access to the file, but the directory that file is in [22:18] When I type "/etc/init.d/cryptdisks start" I get "Command failed: device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument" and in dmesg there are three error messages: "device-mapper: table: 254:1: crypt: Device lookup failed", "device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table" and "device-mapper: ioctl: device doesn't appear to be in the dev hash table.". [22:18] my paste: 44009 [22:18] oneQuestion1, can the non-root user trying to access the file change into the directory that file is in? [22:18] how do I find my ip adress? [22:18] !dhcp | corunum [22:18] corunum: dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP [22:18] oneQuestion1: you need the whole url [22:18] erUSUL: timeframe is beside the point. If you do it recursive all others created after will inherit the same permissions. [22:18] oneQuestion1, please provide a url, rather than just a paste number [22:18] oneQuestion1: link us. [22:18] jrib: what's wrong with umount -a ? [22:18] ScheissDroge1: will the command return success? [22:19] Why do I get these 4 error messages? [22:19] nDuff: yes, he can [22:19] corunum: right-click on the network icon on the upper-right and then on 'Connection Information' [22:19] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44009/ .. i think [22:19] I'm talking to you guys on my desktop, I'm installing on my laptop [22:19] it's already in the install [22:20] jrib: did for me exept used systems [22:20] corunum: then you'll have to wait for it to finish. [22:20] oneQuestion1: your partition is fat. You need to set a proper umask in the mount options and not play around with chmod [22:20] oneQuestion1: It's FAT, that's the problem, you need to set the permission when you mount it [22:20] ScheissDroge1: so what did 'echo $?' say after? [22:20] can someone help me with testdisk [22:20] I'll need help on how to do that later then :P [22:20] in testdisk i did a scan then pressed p and then it just gave me terminal again. HELP! [22:20] jrib: never tried, whats your experience ? [22:20] corunum: you won't be able to miss it, it'll be sticking out at you like a sore thumb :P [22:21] jrib: it had umask=0777 and it didn't work... [22:21] haha === NetEcho__ is now known as NetEcho === Omar1 is now known as Omar87 [22:21] ScheissDroge1: you just told me you ran it. I'm assuming it will return an error so the part after && in your command won't run [22:21] can anyone help me!? [22:21] oneQuestion1: umask takes away permissions. Try 0000 [22:21] should I use the entire disk for ubuntu? [22:21] I only have a teeny 60gig hd [22:21] !ask > Chewy_ [22:21] Chewy_, please see my private message [22:21] corunum: go for it! [22:22] corunum, do you have anything else installed in the system? [22:22] Chewy_: don't make me go AFK. [22:22] windows vista :/ [22:22] If you choose the whole disk, you will have only Ubuntu available. [22:22] ;-) [22:22] I can live with that :) [22:22] jrib: in two comands , yes so e.g. a changed mountpoint was then mounted in new fstabs-order later [22:22] if something goes wrong my laptop wont be useless right? [22:23] Question: Slightly off topic, but what is the standard 7zip compression extension? Linux is starting to make me forget about extension names [22:23] ScheissDroge1: command1 && command2 will only execute command2 if command1 is successful [22:23] no, you can still use it to play music [22:23] and as a paperweight always [22:23] :O [22:23] corunum, if anything goes wrong, you will not be able to boot anything... [22:23] lol [22:23] jrib: still nothing.. i cant wirte to the file [22:23] corunum: j/k - it should be fine [22:23] Leefmc: .7z [22:23] z7? [22:23] gotcha [22:23] corunum: wors case scenario you just install windows again [22:23] kbrooks: Thanks [22:23] corunum: what make/model is it? [22:24] oneQuestion1: how did you mount it? [22:24] Dell Inspiron 1525 [22:24] people i need help with a pdf file. [22:24] oh pffft, those things are built to run ubuntu [22:24] can someone help me. i know this is not ubuntu related. [22:24] jrib: i just chaged /etc/fstab and the said mount -a [22:24] corunum: yeah, ubuntu runs great on my inspiron. auto-detected wireless and everything [22:24] awesome, makes me feel a little better about getting a refurbished >< [22:24] mojo_: just ask the question already [22:25] hi [22:25] jrib:to be shure, just tried it now, yes the sequence than stops [22:25] mindrape: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44012/ <<<< seems like you have to revise your unix permissions fu [22:25] corunum, my suggestion is to have both OS installed while you get used to Ubuntu. [22:25] jrib:then [22:25] gnea: it appears to be working just fine === noob is now known as noobtest === Ragnarel is now known as OzoNe [22:26] mindrape: and i spect an apologie for the "ignorant" part [22:26] ouch, too late for that :O [22:26] fixed1: then one of your other hard drives has a problem - either that, or one of the cables is bad [22:26] oneQuestion1: unmount it first then run the mount -a [22:26] mindrape: also read the code of conduct and ircguidelines [22:26] Gnea, i have a pdf file with 2.0 mb size. i need that file shrinked down to 2.0, better 1.9 mb. very fast and lack of quality is accepted. [22:26] how can it be done? [22:26] mojo_: by deleting pages [22:26] I am under ubuntu now but need to build some packages for debian. what would be the easiest way to achieve this without using tools like vmware or separate installs? [22:27] Gnea, lol... not possible! [22:27] carl0s: impossible. [22:27] i need another solution. [22:27] gnea: mhm, how would I go on about finding out which and what the problem is? just plugging one in at a time and seeing if it stops working? [22:27] mojo_: compress it [22:28] gnea: I mean, the IBM one _IS_ over 10 years old. Let's hope it's that one [22:28] mojo_: wrong. you can setup a PDF printer and print separate pages, image them with gimp, then put them back together as PNG's in openoffice. [22:28] gnea: possible. [22:29] hey hey [22:29] anyone living in New York just now? [22:29] oneQuestion1: do you understand how to do that? [22:29] carl0s: don't tell me it's possible if you're the one asking.

[22:38] Schuenemann: yes, but there are gzip'd archives in /var/log [22:39] Snipe: you tried it without acpi?

[22:39] Schuenemann: the main file might go back a few days [22:39] tritium: two responded at once then to a flood which didn't exist, and thus created a flood themselves :P [22:39] Uriah: try: sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M [22:39] Jordan_U, those were single pages i scanned as pdfs. then i merged them to 1 big pdf. [22:39] acpi is a power management software [22:39] Gnea, that information is always at syslog?.gz ? [22:39] k so why would I turn that off [22:39] Jordan_U, now i want to size that pdf down.

[22:40] I have 4 cds they sent me [22:40] Gnea, those files seem to be available for anyone logged?

I want to use it as desktop for a school yet done't want the students to have the right to view certain areas of the computer or be able to edit menus or change desktop wallpaper. How do I do this? [22:41] Snipe: then select acpi=off [22:41] Guys : VNC support 10 sessions active at same time? [22:41] okay [22:41] file browsing i can probably do using file permissions [22:41] Gnea, I see. Do you know how a failed attempt to log looks like in those files? [22:41] you sure that will solve it [22:41] Tond: make sure they are not a member of admin or sudoers [22:41] Snipe: nothing is garunteed [22:41] I rather not turn off my pc then try this then find it doesnt work then have to boot back on to suse [22:42] Schuenemann: watch it actively and login incorrectly on purpose :) [22:42] mojo_: I am not sure, I don't use gimp often. One thing you might be able to do would be to save each page as a low quality jpg then use Open Office or some other tool to make those into a PDF again [22:42] well I want to know what else I should try if that doesnt work [22:42] Snipe: well theres only one way to see [22:42] Action> they are not, but yet when i login as student account, i can do all that [22:42] Snipe: theres also no dma you could try [22:42] Jordan_U, aha... [22:42] I just added a new monitor and got it working fine with TwinView (nvidia). I'm playing an old FPS and it's trying to span across both monitors. Can I make it just be on one [22:42] Is there a way to have evoloution group msg like gmail does so you can read one after the other with out closing and then open next msg or hiting next msg [22:42] no one else here who plays around with pdfs? [22:42] so any other ideas [22:42] on stuff to try [22:43] hocmin: i usually end up disabling the second monitor when that happens, i've notfigured out how to not make it span, so i just disable the other monitor [22:43] Gnea, hmm... nothing was appended when I failed a sudo [22:43] Snipe: thats all you got, kernel options as it doesnt seem to boot to live cd. you could set your bios to failsafe settings too [22:43] it boots the cd [22:43] Snipe: and yuo could run the memtest which is no the cd too [22:43] but [22:43] not bluetooth usb [22:43] mojo_: What are you trying to do? [22:44] IndyGunFreak: Is there an easy way to do this without restarting x? [22:44] mojo_: Actually, can you open it in OO directly? [22:44] it boots the cd but when I select like run ubuntu from live cd it does the ubuntu logo with loading screen for a bit, then goes to a shell [22:44] any other idea about locking down a desktop? [22:44] tyler: run lsusb to see if its detected [22:44] hocmin: disabling it, you won't need to restart X, when you re-enable it, you'll have to restart X [22:44] Cpudan80, i want to shrink a pdf [22:44] mojo_: OO has an "Export to PDF" option that lets you choose how much you want images to be compressed [22:44] mojo_: Shrink how [22:44] Snipe: did you get the alternate cd, server cd or desktop cd?

I used GNome Partition editor to format the drives. Is there something I'm missing? anyway to acce [22:45] Cpudan80, make the size smaller. from 2,5 mb to 2,0 mb. better 1,9 mb [22:45] Brucee: type update and press tab [22:45] updatedb [22:45] Tond: http://library.gnome.org/admin/deployment-guide/ [22:45] ok [22:45] in the terminal?

[22:45] mojo_: Just print it back as a PDF again - with a lower quality setting [22:45] Jordan_U, i will try that. [22:45] Snipe: id check your bios is set to failsafe and then try acpi off if its no good [22:45] Cpudan80, where? how? please describe shortly.

[22:47] Jordan_U, cannot open a pdf in OO [22:47] mojo_: yes - the pdf viewer in ubuntu [22:47] is there a way to enable and disable my usb ports [22:47] mojo_: I just did it - worked fine - (dropped size by 1/3) [22:48] jin do u have handbrake [22:48] everyone: how do i copy a directory ? [22:48] Gnea: it appears I have judged too soon. after creating a couple of thousand more files, the problem came back [22:48] jin: medibuntu [22:48] Cpudan80, i already did that several times. the file does not shrink anymore.

[23:37] can someone help me? whenever i open a file browser in gnome it appears at the top of the screen and the menu bar is cut off and not visible [23:37] Sephi: but maybe you are connecten to the internet and its not a good idea to use no password because someone can connect to your pc with ssh [23:37] souler: i run my screen at 1024x768 [23:37] kevink23: what has changed since then? New package updates? What? [23:37] should I just use urs? except change the display to 1280x800 cuz mine is widescreen [23:37] souler: Id add the stuff about the res [23:37] doesn't really matter to me since there's nothing special on this laptop [23:38] soundray, never mind. I asked if there you people knew a way of starting X, I don't want to give a full description of why GDM was removed. === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix-da-catz [23:38] tritium, nope, it just wasnt workin when i went onto youtube there [23:38] souler: you can change the resolution easily with xrandr (if the resolution is in your xorg.conf) [23:38] kevink23: something had to have changed [23:38] I copied everything from my xorg.conf [23:38] tritium, well yeah lol [23:39] .................................................................... [23:39] I copied everything from my xorg.conf no res there [23:39] I'm just looking for improved performace for a process which has limited hardware IO resources, probably by means of the vmware kernel module ... [23:39] souler: xrandr 1280x1024 [23:39] anyone? [23:39] gouki: there are various choices for you. Which one is appropriate depends on what you want to achieve. That's why I asked what was wrong with the default approach. [23:39] For some reason I cannot load System->Printers [23:39] The messages log file looks like it is trying to access a printer from work that is not available here at the house it just never opens. [23:39] I need to access the wubi .disk file... anyone know of a program to do this from Windows? [23:39] ok I did what u just said, what now? [23:40] gouki: for example you could install xdm or kdm, but if you had a good reason to remove gdm, it's unlikely that those will fit the bill. [23:40] how do i stop hibernation from completely shutting down my pc and instead actually "hibernating" so that i can restore to the point where i left [23:41] acpi could be disabled or reconfigured to disable hibernating [23:41] hey folks, I can't view anything on youtube with Gutsy, can someone help me? :3 [23:41] Explore2fs did it for me if anyone's wondering [23:41] soundray, indeed. I'm trying to do it without any of those. Shouldn't be to hard to do it, since I just need to figure out a way of using startx to start it. [23:41] should I just copy the stuff into xorg.conf file that I got from that command? [23:42] gouki: as an ugly hack, you could run 'su - yourusername -c startx' from /etc/rc.local [23:42] gattaca: im pretty sure that acpi is up and running, there is a variable in /etc/defaults/acpi-support that discusses this issue [23:43] soundray, yeah, I've thought about it. Haven't tested it, though. [23:43] i had the same issue, so i've disabled it for now. === blu2 is now known as Guest81678 [23:43] gouki: if all you want is to bypass the user/pass dialog, you can configure gdm to autologin [23:43] soundray, I know. Thanks. [23:44] souler: no, just the bits about the resolutions [23:44] help [23:44] gouki: you still don't want to say what you're up to? [23:44] gattaca: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44030/ : look at this....this is an exert from my /etc/default/acpi-support file [23:44] souler: put them in the same section name [23:45] soundray, I'm making a remastered version of Ubuntu for a netbook. removing gdm saves us a couple of seconds. if you want more information contact me on private. [23:45] i swear.... this channel makes me wanna go on a mass murdering spree.... great support.... not.. [23:45] souler: yours is at the bottom [23:45] LiTHiUM0XiD3: wassup? [23:45] http://pastebin.com/d1d88009a this is what I got [23:46] souler: when did you get all that? [23:46] souler: when you rebooted? [23:46] when I type xrandr 1280x800 [23:46] hello [23:46] I'm trying to get a copy of grep linked against libpcre, so that the -P option works [23:46] ActionParsnip: Lithium.. has just left [23:47] anyone have any experience with that? [23:47] souler: you dont need to do that, you add the lines to your xorg.conf [23:47] if you have an ip, how do you find out to wich datacenter that ip belong to or in wich country that ip is? [23:47] ScheissDroge1: yeah i saw [23:47] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcre3/+bug/15051 says that there's been a software change, but I don't know whether it's available [23:47] Launchpad bug 15051 in pcre3 "grep -P is not supported" [Medium,Fix released] [23:47] the lines with resolution from ur pastebin? [23:47] my list of running programs on the bottom has gotten small, how do I get it so it span to the right side [23:47] is runnig samba a good ideal if i do not have windows [23:47] jin:whois [23:47] if so, please link me again to ur pastebin. [23:48] Hey guys i am having some serious problems getting ubuntu 8, working with dual monitors 22" lcd and 14" crt. using a radeon 3450 hd card. i tried the fglrx driver via aticonfig etc but it doesn't work can anyone point me in the right direction ? [23:48] I am attempting to install ubuntu on a pretty old (in rough condition desktop) and I can get the lives cd to work but when I go to install there are no partitions, does the live cd work with no attached HDD (or in this case broken HDD) [23:48] Area_51: if you wanna share files then yes [23:48] jin: http://www.ip2location.com/free.asp [23:48] traci: yes [23:48] souler: http://pastebin.com/f68bcbddb [23:48] traci: yes. I've done that before. It runs even if you have no HDD [23:49] i wonder if it is just to pleas my isp [23:49] how to view youtube videos in Gutsy? :3 [23:49] traci: youre in life now ? [23:49] tracy: live [23:49] what is a good firewall [23:49] I cannot get my emails from hotmail on thunderbird [23:49] Area_51: iptables :p [23:49] !firewall [23:49] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [23:49] ScheissDroge1: One follow up question, the computer was kinda broke by me a year ago when I accidently formatted the HDD the computer was running on to work with a ps2 (opose to the slave drive) is it possible that just the the weird formatting would be cause ubuntu to be unable to install? [23:50] Area_51: have you heard of firestarter? [23:50] xomp: you need flash [23:50] ActionParsnip, how I get it? [23:50] is it at the bottom I should paste it in? [23:50] how do I get the list of programs in the lowerpanel to wide up.. it's gotten small and I can't expand it to the right, very annoying [23:50] no [23:50] !flash | xomp [23:50] xomp: 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 [23:50] Area_51: ufw enable or install firestarter [23:50] Hey guys i am having some serious problems getting ubuntu 8, working with dual monitors 22" lcd and 14" crt. using a radeon 3450 hd card. i tried the fglrx driver via aticonfig etc but it doesn't work can anyone point me in the right direction ? [23:50] hi, can someone help me with this? http://lint4690.deviantart.com/art/screwup-97210448 [23:50] danke herr ActionParsnip :3 [23:50] souler: you need to look at the screen sections of both and notice what you are missing [23:50] whats better iptable or firestarter [23:51] tracy: hard to say, you're in live now ? [23:51] Is there an Ubuntu channel for people that don't need support and just want to chat? [23:51] :/ [23:51] what is a good IRC client for Ubuntu? [23:51] ok, thank you. If it wont work I will come back. [23:51] !ot [23:51] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:51] Area_51: Ubuntu comes with ipyables already (like most, if not all Linux distributions). The interface can be a bit complicated. I've read that shorewall is probably th best [23:51] xchat [23:51] zelrikriando: get a paid account [23:51] umm no it's my mom's computer I messed up, Im home for the weekend, Im running from my laptop [23:51] other than xchat [23:51] zelrikriando: then you can use email apps like thunderbord [23:51] ActionParsnip, ? [23:51] I need something with good interface [23:51] zelrikriando: you can get httpmail but ive never used it [23:52] gouki: gdm manages shutdown, suspend etc. as well. startx is nowhere near 2 seconds faster than gdm. If you can prepare xorg.conf to avoid autoconfiguration, that's going to save more time. [23:52] !who|traci [23:52] traci: 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 :) [23:52] ActionParsnip, I just need to close my hotmail account... [23:52] wL: pidgin [23:52] ActionParsnip, but for that I need to remove my mails from it [23:52] how to create a keyboard shortcut to launch an application ? [23:52] i want a simplw one have used black ice befneder outpost and others [23:52] zelrikriando: go to the website then and close it [23:52] how do i setup dual monitors with an ati card under ubuntu 8.04 ? [23:52] !irc | wL [23:52] ScheissDrogel Sorry about that [23:52] wL: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [23:52] ActionParsnip, no,it's not empty [23:52] Area_51: firestarter is just an interface for iptables [23:53] traci: so can't reach it now? in live, try : sudo fdisk -l in terminal or run gparted, also check the bios for hd's recognized [23:53] dam sitting at the keyboard sideways makes for bad typing [23:53] ah ok [23:53] dusty_: you'll need a bat wing, an onion, and the blood of a calf... then you'll need luck [23:53] shorewall is a complete package [23:53] So I cannot empty my hotmail account [23:53] That's odd [23:53] dusty_: System-Preferences-Screen Resolution [23:53] zelrikriando: why not just go to hotmail.com? [23:53] lol @ indy [23:54] soundray: i dont think its quite that easy w/ most of the ati device [23:54] I need a .fla editor for creating simple flash files (buttons with sound) - but I cant find anything. can someone help me? [23:54] Windows says Explore2fs is not responding... harddrive is still going like crazy... so I'm guessing if I just leave it alone it'll transfer it? [23:54] actually, i know its not. [23:54] how do I get the applikationlist wider so it spans all the way to the right.. it's in the panel.. I accidently removed it and now it's to small [23:54] IndyGunFreak, I want to close my account [23:54] thank you i will read up on them [23:54] tracy: if bios finds the hd, formatting prbly hsn't killed it [23:54] And I can't resize it [23:54] zelrikriando: ah, ok.. well, its microsoft.. so good luck..lol [23:54] IndyGunFreak: with some it is though, so it should be the first stop [23:54] Area_51: "Shorewall is iptables made easy" so I've read. It doesn't has a GUI so you may prefer firestarter if you really want one [23:54] soundray: i guess my ATI dual screen experience was far different [23:55] ATI dual screens is relatively straighforward, now that the screen resolution applet supports xrandr [23:55] !dual [23:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about dual [23:55] oh [23:55] tritium: wellt hat may be the case now.. admittedly, my last experience getting screwed by ATI and dual screens, was w/ Edgy [23:56] !dualscreen [23:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about dualscreen [23:56] i need a command to downsize pdfs. [23:56] i just packed shoreshell [23:56] IndyGunFreak: I had to use xrandr from cli on gutsy, but the applet works fine on hardy [23:56] from 2.5 to 2.0 mb [23:56] shorewall* [23:56] ScheissDroge1, IndyGunFreak: the factoid is dualhead, but it's useless (outdated) [23:56] Area_51: according to their website, "Shorewall is not the easiest to use of the available iptables configuration tools but I believe that it is the most flexible and powerful. So if you are looking for a simple point-and-click set-and-forget Linux firewall solution that requires a minimum of networking knowledge, I would encourage you to check out the following alternatives: kmyfirewall or firestarter" [23:56] traci: come back here from live [23:56] *sig* [23:56] tritium: well, thats good.. nvidia is easy, takes me about 10sec and a reboot after a clean install. [23:56] soundray, thx ,testing [23:57] firestarter [23:57] thank you [23:57] !dualhead > ScheissDroge1 [23:57] ScheissDroge1, please see my private message [23:57] !firestarter [23:57] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [23:57] Hey all, there's supposedly a fix released for grep: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcre3/+bug/15051 [23:57] Launchpad bug 15051 in pcre3 "grep -P is not supported" [Medium,Fix released] [23:57] Would someone be kind enough to help me apply it? [23:58] IndyGunFreak: true, but even twinview is deprecated in favor of xrandr [23:58] tritium: hmm, twinview works fine for me. [23:58] hi guys, I no longer have the little minimize, maximize or close thingies in my browser or any applications I open up, http://img363.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshothn3.png [23:58] ScheissDrogel Sorry family is visiting atm and cousin was trying to help despite not knowing computers so I had to explain things to him [23:58] IndyGunFreak: yes, it works. [23:58] xomp: try disabling desktop effects, see if they come back. [23:59] windows list - how do I change the size of it.... text no readable too small tabs.. [23:59] ScheissDrogel: Also it showed up in Bios, I'm wondering the HDD has no jumper pins which makes it master, but it needs to have one in it to be master with slave present
