[00:00] hi, how can i revert to the default video drivers? [00:00] hello [00:00] IndyGunFreak, yes, after disabling desktop affects they have returned [00:00] NBrepresent: you should just be able to untick it in Hardware Drivers [00:00] maxflax: right click on the tab and select move [00:00] IndyGunFreak, but I would like my desktop effects :( I guess that's a no-no since it makes them disappear? [00:00] anybody knows any ubuntu documentation for C/C++ ? [00:00] from 2.5 to 2.0 mb [00:00] xomp: so its a compiz issue.. honestly, i had that problem a long time ago, but don't recall how i resolved it. [00:00] a video card driver doesn't show up under hardware drivers [00:00] i need a command to downsize pdfs. [00:00] from 2.5 to 2.0 mb [00:00] Is there any way to run a bash script automatically every time I log in into gnome? It should be run as non-root account... [00:00] reference or something like that [00:00] can someone help me with this? http://lint4690.deviantart.com/art/screwup-97210448 [00:00] alex-weej: ^ [00:00] IndyGunFreak, ah ok, I shall go bug them :) Thanks [00:01] c.wyldryde.org [00:01] xomp: lol.. [00:01] NBrepresent: that sounds like a bug if you installed the driver via that same tool [00:01] !compiz | xomp try asking ehre [00:01] xomp try asking ehre: 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 [00:01] lin1 : that does only move it.. it's still to small.. only a fourth of the normalsizse [00:01] SuperPC, were you answering me ? [00:01] if anyone could help me with a NVIDIA VIDEO DRIVER question PM me plz [00:01] alex-weej: i didn't install using the tool, i tried Envy, but I guess my card isn't supported by that [00:01] 2 steps ahead of yah herr IndyGunFreak :3 [00:01] lin1 : I want it back to default [00:01] shrug [00:01] ircbin : u can create a user-exutable sh-script an put it in rc.local [00:01] i also used envy to try and uninstall, but no luck, everything's still at a low resolution [00:01] lin1 : like before I accidently removed it [00:01] NBrepresent: envy... already out of supported territory! [00:02] ircbin : see also #bash [00:02] looking for help with NVIDIA video drivers [00:02] ScheissDroge1, ok [00:02] lin1 : seems to bee impossible thou.. perhaps editing some files.. if I knew where to find them [00:02] NBrepresent: if you want to strong-arm it, you can uninstall the package providing your driver and reconfigure your xorg config [00:02] how do i find which package provides the driver? [00:03] NBrepresent: which card and driver are you using? [00:03] NBpresent: or check for old xorg.confs [00:03] hey guys [00:03] !hi [00:03] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:03] scheiss, yeah, it might have been backed up first by envy... [00:03] this question should be an easy one to answer, come on [00:03] ircbin: I don't think ScheissDroge1's solution is optimal [00:03] or do I need to reinstall the whole damn ubuntu [00:04] patience, maxflax [00:04] soundray, and so?

[00:05] felix-da-catz_zz: please quit the nick spam [00:05] ircbin: alternatively, "touch ~/.gnomerc ; chmod +x ~/.gnomerc' and run your command from that file.

[00:07] fix* [00:07] alex-weej : so the settings of each addin to the panels can be found there? [00:08] Area_51: there's nothing to fix. It's a security thing having sudo disabled by default. [00:08] maxflax: if you describe your problem better i can help you more [00:08] Area_51, if you want a root shell, run sudo su - [00:08] n3hima: no, sudo -i [00:08] n3hima: you mean sudo -s [00:08] !rootshell | n3hima [00:08] :P [00:08] n3hima: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [00:08] ok ok! [00:08] alex-weej: sudo -i [00:08] sorry! [00:08] besides xsane, what can I use to scan things? I've scanned before wiht this computer and scanner, and I thinkI had to use something else. Can't remember what it was === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [00:08] sudo -s [00:08] !rootshell | alex-weej [00:08] alex-weej: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances.

This seems to be caused by the 'clone display' setting, if I log in without the externam screen, turn that off, then plug the screen in, log out and back in, sometimes everything works. But something keeps turning 'clone display' back on. What? [00:09] Area_51: no, read above info on !rootshell [00:09] sudo -s [00:09] -i is for -idiots [00:09] alex-weej: stop [00:09] craigbass1976: scanimage (command line) or xscanimage perhaps [00:09] Can't open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory <- mplayer says that, whats wrong? [00:09] Area_51: take a look at that page from ubottu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo to know about it. If you want to activate root account, enter "sudo pssword ******" where ***** is root password [00:09] alex-weej : the windows list addin to the lower panel is not wide enough, all the tabs are to small and doesn't fill out to the right as before [00:09] what is the difference between sudo -i and sudo -s ? [00:09] so... [00:10] alex-weej : I only see "..." in the boxes [00:10] soundray, that stil seems to be using the sane backend. [00:10] zcat[1]: -s is for 'suckage' [00:10] anyone ever tried to go from debian -> ubuntu on a live runnign system ? [00:10] maxflax: that sounds as if whatever is to the right of the window list is taking up the space [00:10] maxflax: what is the panel applet immediately to the right [00:10] they both appear to do -exactly- the same thing [00:10] Area_51: sorry, the command is only "sudo passwd" [00:10] zcat[1]: the difference is documented in man sudo [00:10] sudo -s is for SHell, sudo -i is for "simulate initial login", changing your current directory and doing all sorts of other pointless confusing shit [00:10] alex-weej : I have none to the right except the workspace addin [00:11] zcat[1]: you tried the man sudo page right? [00:11] !language | alex-weej [00:11] alex-weej: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:11] maxflax: they are called "applets" btw [00:11] anyhow.. my question about 'clone display' -- any answers? [00:11] zcat[1] | I used kubuntu on my cf48 panisonic tough book which has the same moble chipset [00:11] repeat... how does ubiquity add windows partitions to menu.lst, and is there an easy way to do it manually from within ubuntu (runnig hardy) [00:11] zcat[1]: man sudo [00:11] works fine ok [00:11] alex-weej : ok [00:11] maxflax: you see, there is no panel configuration for the width of an applet... [00:11] this is really pissing me off btw; if I boot from the live CD I have no problems at all with the external display either [00:11] ok i am going to go read up on that page [00:11] zcat: little outdated, but good ideas : !dualhead [00:12] maxflax: try adding the Window List applet to the space and see what happens [00:12] I am sure i can change with nano orvim [00:12] vim* [00:12] my keyboard and this rolling tray suck [00:12] I don't want dual-head. I want xorg to act as if I have only ONE display and just let the chipset do whatever it did right trough the whole startup process... [00:12] maxflax: i dunno did you try right clicking the panel, selecting properites, and adjusting the width in pixels? [00:13] alex-weej : Now I have to list of the same , and both are small in size. [00:13] maxflax: you can change it to something really big like 96 , if you need 4 rows of program tabs [00:13] because it's only when ubuntu tries to get all clever and handle the second display for me that things get screwed up.. it locks up hard and ONLY holding the power button for four seconds will get me out again.. not even sysreq sequences work [00:13] zcat:maybe try to copy live's xorg.conf ?! [00:13] and nothing gets logged about it [00:14] ScheissDroge1: ubuntu keeps changing it though. I should set it immutable perhaps? [00:14] maxflax: can you add a new panel and try it? [00:14] btw now using gNewSense and it seems to have exactly the same problem too [00:15] maxflax: just context-click the space in a panel and choose New Panel [00:15] zcat: ?? no log /var/log/xorg.conf0.log ? if you don't configure, ubuntu shouldn't change xorg [00:15] ScheissDroge1: it just locks up HARD a few seconds after login. Nothing gets logged anywhere. [00:15] zcat[1], have you tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:15] n3hima: duh [00:16] zcat:tried xorg from live ? [00:16] zcat[1]: just ran a few tests.... one big diff between sudo -i and sudo -s, is that 'sudo -s' does NOT set your environment correctly for root. Instead it assumes the calling user's enviroment. (This matters if you expect 'cd ~' to go to /root, as it should) [00:16] OrangeKyo : that only makes it higher not wider.. [00:16] joejoecircusboy: "SHOULD" is subjective. [00:16] ScheissDroge1: All I want to know is what smartarse autoconfig shit is turning the 'clone display' feature on, so I can dissable that [00:16] alex-weej : it might be something with the expand option.. [00:17] personally I consider root to be a state, not a different user. [00:17] alex-weej: $HOME *should* match the entry for your uid in /etc/passwd. Anything else is *idiotic* [00:17] .. because it works prefectly without it, and locks up 100% consistently when it's on and I have a seconds display attched [00:17] zcat: your g-card ? which driver ? [00:17] zcat[1], System > Preferences > Screen Resolution? [00:17] joejoecircusboy: then use -idiot, that's fine by me. [00:17] n3hima: yes. I can turn it off. Something keeps turning it back on. [00:17] alex-weej: and you use -suckage, fine by me ;) [00:17] ATI rage mobility [00:18] guys, calm down about sudo, you can almost smell the nerd rage [00:18] maxflax: panel applets don't have an expand option [00:18] panels on the other hand do [00:18] zcat : is there no ati-control-center ? [00:18] alex-weej - nope.. but the panel have [00:18] n3hima: I'm just playing along... As if it matters either way ;) [00:18] theres a Catalyst Control Center for ATI [00:18] maxflax: so with an expanded panel, add the window list [00:18] and does it work properly? [00:19] zcat : is there no ati-control-center ? Spongy: theres a Catalyst Control Center for ATI [00:19] hmm.. using Fre drives, this card has absolutely no 3d support and non-free drivers don't work at all with it [00:19] *free drivers [00:19] ahh [00:19] zcat[1], displayconfig-gtk? [00:19] I think you can get the CCC via Add/Remove Programs, otherwise it should be in Synaptic. (I'm not sure what the question about it is.) [00:19] zcat : evr checked ati HP for linux driver ? [00:20] I am having an issue with hibernate on my laptop and could use some assistance figuring out what is going on, anyone available? === n3hima is now known as ubuntu === ubuntu is now known as n3hima [00:20] something in Ubuntu keeps turning "clone display' feature on. It doesn't turn that on with the live CD and the display works exactly how I want it to work when the 'clone display 'feature is off..... [00:20] MellowYellow: What problem are you having specifically? [00:20] zcat: paste your xorg.conf [00:20] but when I reboot, the fscking 'clone display' is back on and it locks up as soon as I log in again [00:21] Basically instead of hibernating it seems to be blanking the screen, and when I move the mouse it prompts for my password to "unlock" the computer [00:21] !paste [00:21] 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) [00:21] alex-weej: I got it fixed... removing the panel and then adding it all again fixed it [00:21] maxflax: i've a feeling there was some applet on the panel that you couldn't see that was stealing space [00:21] maxflax: but if recreating that panel has fixed it, sorted [00:22] What's the package in ubuntu that keeps messing with xorg config? I want to remove that I think [00:22] xserver-xorg [00:22] zcat[1]: Does the screen flicker a few times before X starts ( might be that it is not starting with your xorg.conf at all then ignoring it ) [00:22] http://pastebin.com/f35b7517 [00:23] Could someone help me converting a AVI to a 3gp? [00:23] mellowyellow: sounds like your computer is locking instead of hibernating. does this still happen when you click the red power symbol in the top right and click hibernate? [00:23] yea [00:23] Jordan_U: it starts prefectly. I only have a problem after I log in, then some asshat piese of shit smartarse autoconfig thing turns 'clone display' back on. [00:23] up until I log in, everything works -perfectly- [00:23] MellowYellow: ok tell me what happens when you click lock computer instead. is it the same thing? [00:23] zcat[1]: Ahh, so it's an xrandr thing [00:24] checking [00:24] MellowYellow: lockscreen* [00:24] zcat[1], try completely removing (--purge) xserver-xorg, booting back up and then reinstalling [00:24] OrangeKyo, yep [00:24] same exact thing [00:24] Could someone help me converting a AVI to a 3gp? [00:24] MellowYellow: hmm tricky... [00:24] zcat: your xorg.conf looks very sparse to me, I would first check for a driver from ati as they provide a controlcenter for all that settings [00:24] this is on a brand new install, all I've done is update [00:24] n3hima: zcat[1] I doubt that will do anything since it seems to be a user preference [00:24] zcat[1], forget what I just said [00:24] sup [00:24] Jordan_U, yeah I just realised that [00:24] I am going to try running the hibernate.sh file if I time out then maybe it worked [00:25] and the nonfree ati drivers do not do anything with this card === geo_ is now known as geo05 [00:25] zcat[1]: Can you try creating a new user and log in with it? [00:25] sounds like gnome settings daemon or gnome-session [00:26] i wonder if nvidias drivers will be better than ubuntu's restricted. or are they the same? [00:26] MellowYellow: LOL i tried clicking on MY hibernate and my comp crashed =\ [00:27] I _am_ a new user, on a new install. I've just installed gNewSense this morning and I have exactly the same problem I had in Ubuntu. [00:27] so it's some xorg autoconfig nonsense [00:27] zcat[1]: It's probably whatever config is controlled by gnome-display-properties [00:27] Could someone help me converting a AVI to a 3gp? [00:27] MellowYellow: how do you usually hibernate your computer? did you try the sleep button on your keyboard? [00:27] not sure [00:27] !repeat | Osse [00:27] Osse: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [00:27] MrKennie: just to say thanks again for your help [00:27] zcat[1], I think I might get flamed for this, but give kde a try and see if it still does it [00:28] zcat[1]: Try doing an "xint" from the console, you probably won't have a problem until you run "gnome-session" [00:28] xint? [00:28] and to firestart thanks again [00:28] zcat[1]: Sorry, "xinit" [00:28] well that didn't work... the screen just went white when I ran /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh [00:28] and locked up of course [00:29] Umm.. gdm is find .. everything from the BIOS splash to the GDM login screen comes up perfectly on both displays. I only have a problem after I log in [00:29] thefool: are you mellowyellow o.O [00:29] bloody gnome trying to be too smart [00:29] lol yea, sorry didn't give me my nick back, guess it is still in use === thefool is now known as MellowYellow [00:29] there we go [00:29] thefool: lol k [00:29] hey, where would we go to recommend new bootsplash ideas for intrepid? :) [00:29] I have some weirdly corrupted files for one of my packages in /var/lib/dpkg/info, and dpkg won't let me install or uninstall anything because of them. python-at-spi.{list,md5sum,postinst,prerm} each have really weird ls listings (like ?--s--x-wT for the mode, nonexistent users and groups with numbers for names, and >2 gigabytes for size). I can't move, overwrite, or delete them, even as root (I get "Operation not permitted"). What should [00:30] so any ideas? [00:30] MellowYellow: Here's what i said while you were gone: LOL i tried clicking on MY hibernate and my comp crashed =\ [00:30] MellowYellow: how do you usually hibernate your computer? did you try the sleep button on your keyboard? [00:30] Osse, what do you want to convert? [00:30] zcat[1]: "log in" with xinit ( it won't start gnome so there should be no problem ) then try changing the settings by running "gnome-display-properties" ( then again I don't know if that will work without starting the rest of gnome but it's worth a try ) [00:30] usser - An AVI. [00:30] the fool: i meant thefool: not mellowyellow: [00:30] usser - To a 3GP video, sorry. [00:31] Hi everyone, new to linux here [00:31] anyone know how to get the peak memory usage from a running script? [00:31] How do I use DISPLAY to control X-server through the console? [00:31] well I only have a power button on the keyboard, but usually I have things set to hibernate when I close the lid. Either that or I hit the power button it prompts me and I choose hibernate [00:31] Yamakiri: export DISPLAY=:0.0 [00:32] Osse, right do u have any tool that u prefer to use? [00:32] Does anyone know of any good python tutorials or e-books I can start with for a beginner programmer? [00:32] just so you know this is the first time I have tried hibernating in 8.04 [00:32] Python77, diveintoPython is pretty good introduction [00:32] Jordan_U: root@hemlock:/var/www# export DISPLAY=:0.0 root@hemlock:/var/www# firefox 'www.google.com' No protocol specified Error: cannot open display: :0.0 [00:32] usser - I've never converted a video before, so any recommendations will do. I'd prefer an easy one, a GUI would be nice. [00:33] Yamakiri: Why are you logged in as root? NEVER run firefox as root! [00:33] Osse, only thing i can suggest is without gui, ffmpeg [00:33] Jordan_U: ok [00:33] diveintopython eh? [00:33] Python77: are you familiar with some coding? [00:33] let me look it up here.... [00:33] usser - Is there an easy way with that? =) [00:33] I did the first 3 chapters of learning C [00:33] Osse, yea its pretty straightforward [00:33] but since i am majoring in web development for college I was told I should focus all my coding into net coding [00:34] oh it works thanks [00:34] starting with python [00:34] Python77, python is not exactly net, php is :) [00:34] Python77, but thats entirely subjective [00:34] true, but it can be used for net right? [00:34] usser - An easy command? [00:34] python can be written into server side apps [00:34] Yamakiri, how did you get it to work? [00:35] Python77, yea, but so can C [00:35] OK, If I run gnome-display-properties and turn off clone-display and save that and then imediately run it again, 'clone display' as ticked again. wtf? [00:35] ah [00:35] n3hima: getting out of root :p su andrew [00:35] zcat[1], hahaha [00:35] OrangeKyo, so hibernate does not work for you either [00:35] Osse, do this sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [00:35] this is reeally pissing me off [00:35] how do i update the apt-cache? [00:35] mellowyellow: it works when i press the crescent moon on my keyboard [00:35] Osse, this will add a medibuntu repository from which u'll install ffmpeg [00:35] odd [00:36] usser - I just got ffmpeg installed now =) [00:36] Osse, from medibuntu? [00:36] Osse, the one in the repositories is crippled [00:36] Python77: python is a good language to learn, but you should more look at developing algorithms, no matter what language, as if you understand algorithms, you can figure out how to code in many languages [00:36] at least before it would stay OFF until I rebooted. Not it comck on right away.es ba [00:37] usser - Oh, okay. Two seconds, I'll follow your directions. [00:37] stupid touchpad [00:37] Could you exploit on that a little more? [00:37] but python is a pretty good language for that in that it is good at getting out of the way and letting you design algorithms. I often use it as pseudo code... [00:37] usser - Did the wget. [00:37] Python77, you mean extrapolate? [00:37] Osse, yea but u have to completely reinstall it, cause my method leaves some old packages behind [00:37] heh [00:37] usser - Okay, synaptic - remove? [00:38] MellowYellow: Can you recommend any good resources on algorithms? [00:38] is ffmpeg-php in the repositories? [00:38] hehe, well I want to become a complete computer geek, I was told the journey to becoming that is to learn computer programming, I am also majoring in web development in college, so wanted to pick languages that I could use and would benefit my major [00:38] anyone? [00:38] usser - Should I remove the current ffmpeg with synaptic or a-g remove? [00:38] zcat[1]: I think I found the config file at least [00:39] zcat[1], ok, open up gconf-editor and try to find the clone screens option somehere [00:39] Osse, sudo apt-get remove libswscale1d libpostproc1d libavutil1d libavformat1d libavcodec1d ffmpeg === azhar27 is now known as azharcs [00:39] joejoecircusboy, not really, haven't read anything on it in about 10 years [00:39] !info ffmpeg [00:39] ffmpeg (source: ffmpeg): multimedia player, server and encoder.

PHP on the otherhand would be a good thing to learn, and it should not be too dificult for you as the syntax is quite similar to C... at least at first [00:40] usser - Done. [00:40] zcat[1]: The file seems to be ~/.config/monitors.xml [00:41] Osse, sweet now sudo apt-get install ffmpeg [00:41] Python77: sorry, afk, algorithms are how programs work, it is core to programming [00:41] what's phpize? [00:41] usser - Done [00:41] Python77, python is awesome for quick and dirty gui programming [00:41] could you all define gui programming? [00:42] can't you take this elsewhere? [00:42] like, can't all programming languages kind of do the same thing? [00:42] making a web app that you access from a client browser [00:42] Osse, ok do dpkg -l | grep ffmpeg the packages that u removed at first should have this version 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.1+medibuntu1 [00:42] ok so web application that you can access from client browser [00:42] Python77: no [00:42] Python77, all languages are equal, but some languages are more equal than others [00:42] this is offtopic. [00:42] usser - There is a list of that version there, yes. [00:42] !offtopic [00:42] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:42] python77: nah i learned that java you can't manage the memory, it sort of just does it on its own without your control [00:43] Osse, cool now lets try to convert a file [00:43] usser - Awesome! \o/ [00:43] OrangeKyo: that's known as garbage collection :) [00:43] hmm... ok let me ask this question, If I want to become a complete computer geek (White-hat hacker) where should I start? what should I start learning? I was told programming [00:43] zcat@mbeki:~$ sudo chattr -i .gnome2/monitors.xml --- Wonder if that'll stop it? [00:43] brb [00:43] Osse, ffmpeg -i filename.avi -vcodec h263 -vb 600000 -ar 8000 -ac 1 test.3gp [00:43] Python77: just have an interest in all things computer'y [00:44] Osse, -i filename.avi specifies the input file u want to convert [00:44] Python77: electronics works too [00:44] Python77, but programming is the start of serious computer geekery [00:44] Python77: programming is a good skill for a hacker, though. [00:44] Python77: start with lisp! [00:44] guys, which program for burning you would recomend? [00:44] Chousuke, I just feel like I am not being productive with my time, not really feeling like I understand everything [00:44] python77 you should learn how to use the terminal and program in c++. try downloading a c++ book [00:44] what is lisp? [00:44] there is too many different directions to go, but most tend to go towards programming and hardware modding [00:44] Chousuke, I did! [00:44] Osse, -vcodec h263 specifies the codec of the output file, 3gp uses h263 [00:44] hardware modding? [00:44] OrangeKyo: no, not C++ :(((( [00:44] Chousuke: thats mean! [00:44] the greatest language made by man [00:45] usser - "Error while opening codec for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height" [00:45] Osse, -vb 600000 specifies video bitrate in this case 600Kbps [00:45] C++ is an awful language to start with [00:45] Python77: You'll want to be familiar with operating systems, programming languages, and networking. You'll want to learn and experience multiple variants of each domain [00:45] lisp is beauty incarnate [00:45] I know that linux kernel was programed with C [00:45] yes. [00:45] Python77, lisp is programming language, usually used for artificial inteligence === azharcs is now known as azhar27 [00:45] Osse, whats the line right before that? [00:45] whow AI? [00:45] lisp is a family of languages, actually. [00:45] as well as being a language [00:45] so should I learn python first or lisp? [00:45] usser - "Valid sizes are 128x96, 176x144, 352x288, 704x576, and 1408x1152. Try H.263+." [00:45] >>> #ubuntu-offtopic [00:46] zcat[1]: Can you pastebin your ~/.config/monitors.xml ? [00:46] Python77: whatever you like :) [00:46] Should i try "+"? [00:46] And does anyone have any good links to learning how to use terminal? [00:46] why is Ubuntu telling me i can use Restricted ATI graphics drivers when I'm managing fine OOTB? [00:46] Python77: those are good choices though. [00:46] http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html is how I learned lisp, great book [00:46] Osse, oh ok seems h263 is picky about the resolution [00:46] guys, which program for burning you would recommend? [00:46] Python77: start with MellowYellow's URL [00:46] Python77: it depends what you want to do, you originally said web development -> therefore learn server side scripting languages, like php, jsp, and asp [00:46] Python77: SICP is *the* book on programming [00:46] http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/cli.html [00:47] Python77: it's not *easy*, but it's good :) [00:47] bah, I read it in high school [00:47] Python77: and javascript+html+css [00:47] !offtopic | Python77 [00:47] Python77: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:47] Osse, modify your command to look like this ffmpeg -i filename.avi -vcodec h263 -s 352x288 -vb 600000 -ar 8000 -ac 1 test.3gp [00:47] can some one tell me the easy way to upgrade bluez to the Bluez4.3 [00:47] of course it was a slightly older version... [00:47] MellowYellow: SICP is still not easy, you're just smart. [00:47] Python77, you should start with some basics first, try "Computer Science Illuminate" its a good introduction [00:47] Osse, note -s 352x288 that specifies the output video resolution [00:47] Would this be a correct crontab entry if I want to run a command every 45 minute? http://paste.ubuntu.com/44042/ [00:48] sorry obottu [00:48] hi there [00:48] MellowYellow: of course, I'm not saying it's exactly difficult either; It just requires effort :) [00:48] computer science illuminate? [00:48] anyway, time for me to sleep [00:48] usser - I get alot of "[h263 @ 0xb7e1a9a8]warning, clipping 1 dct coefficients to -127..127" [00:48] illuminated i think [00:48] Oww [00:48] thanks for info [00:48] Chousuke, lol, actually the first chapter gave me headaches. I could not figure out why any human being woul design a language that does math like lisp [00:48] Alguem ai [00:48] Osse, thats normal [00:48] me ajuda [00:49] sou portugues [00:49] MellowYellow: oh you didn't like prefix notation? :p [00:49] Alguem ai [00:49] me ajuda [00:49] usser - Well, It looks like it is working, thanks alot! =) [00:49] how can I see the available wireless networks [00:49] sou portugues [00:49] !po | MU [00:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about po [00:49] I love it now but... [00:49] shit what's portuguese? [00:49] !pt | MU [00:49] !language | n3hima [00:49] MU: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português. Obrigado. [00:50] n3hima: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:50] !pt [00:50] HEY! who took phpize out of the php package?? [00:50] well bugger me, making the display.xml immutable WORKED. [00:50] #ubuntu-br [00:50] MellowYellow: well people always have problems accepting *different* things :) [00:50] that's why i never install ubuntu on my own PCs [00:50] echelon, what!?!? when did they do that? [00:50] MU, /join #ubuntu-br [00:50] MellowYellow: what? [00:51] Does any one know what I need to do to see the different networks (wireless) [00:51] but I'd really rather find out what piece of shit is changing my settings to 'clone display' every login! [00:51] s/changing/tryingtochange/ [00:51] take phpize out? [00:51] I think I pooped my xserver installation. I was trying to install frets on fire but it kept crashing so I thought it was my opengl that was wrong so I tried to fix it but now my xconfig doesn't even want to take the proprietary nvidia driver correctly. Every bootup I get prompted by a dialog box saying my config is not ok but whatever I do in there doesn't fix anything [00:51] zcat[1]: watch the language, please [00:51] Osse, np mgiht also add -ab 64000 [00:52] usser - What does that do? [00:52] so, anybody know what part of gnome is automatically detecting the second monitor and overriding the setting I explicitly set? [00:52] Osse, sets the bitrate of audio stream to 64kbps [00:52] tritium: sorry; very very annoyed here [00:52] Thanks usser. [00:52] for me to view php files will sudo apt-get install php5 install apache et al for me? [00:52] I just want to re create my xorg.conf that was working fine on my card's s-video out to my tv (since my tv is my main display) [00:53] zcat[1], do you have twinview or xinearama installed? [00:53] Osse, no problem [00:54] I have problems with a plugging in my amsn called "transparent", can someone help me pleaces? [00:54] zcat[1]: Can you pastebin your ~/.config/monitors.xml ? [00:54] can anyone here assist me in signing the code of conduct? I've gotten all the way to the Signed Code section but it says "The signed text does not match the Code of Conduct. Make sure that you signed the correct text (white space differences are acceptable). [00:54] MellowYellow: not intentionally. This is a brand new gNewSense install, only free drivers, and updates. And it's doing exactly the same thing as Ubuntu was; everything works perfectly on both displays right up until I log in. xorg thinks it only has one display, the ATI card handles both outputs.... [00:55] krunchyfrog, boot without a gui and reconfigure xorg using xorgcfg [00:55] I have problems with a plugging in my amsn called "transparent", can someone help me pleaces? [00:55] aha! thanks MellowYellow [00:55] .. after I log in 'something' detects the second monitor and turns on 'clone display' which makes the whole laptop freeze totally and I have to power cycle it [00:55] My sister installed skype a week agoish, and she just noticed that it takes ages to boot (more than 4 minutes, where it was less than a minute before) as it is just hanging on a black screen. Any idea why or how to fix? [00:55] All I want it to know what's cahnging that setting so I can dissable it [00:55] zcat[1], ick [00:56] right now I have the monitor.xml set immutable and it's working exactly how I want. But that's not a real solution, it's an ugly hack [00:56] hi all [00:56] zcat[1], lol [00:56] What constitutes a signature on the Code of Conduct? [00:56] !paste [00:56] 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) [00:56] what package contains the ffmpeg headers? [00:57] ffmpeg-dev? [00:57] I'm normally a gnome user but thought I would give Kubuntu a try on another system... Should I do Kde4 or not? [00:57] perhaps I should just file a bug? [00:57] I have problems with a plugging in my amsn called "transparent", can someone help me pleaces? [00:57] zcat[1], it's a hack, but every system is a bit ugly [00:57] is there some kind of xorg.conf generator on the net? [00:57] I have problems with a plugging in my amsn called "transparent", can someone help me pleaces? [00:57] I should not have to set config files immutable. Gnome should NOT be overriding my settings on a whim! [00:57] I'm trying to connect computers connected to a common netgear router via ssh. how do I know each comp [00:58] I totally agree [00:58] Hello [00:58] ubottu what is the best place to get 3D fx for ubuntu ? [00:58] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:58] zcat[1], I would do kde4 and then file a bug, it would be good to be able to "prove" that gnome is doing the modifying. Otherwise you really don't know where to file the bug to. [00:58] how can i md5 unhash [00:58] It's there any program to manage rapidshare links ??? [00:58] alicev, huh? [00:58] alicev: doesn't make sense [00:58] MellowYellow: every time I run gnome-display-settings it turns it back on, even after I explicitly turn it off. [00:59] ok [00:59] WHERE ARE the ffmpeg HEADERS? [00:59] Digit4l: not a public one, no [00:59] ouch [00:59] thanks [00:59] going to file a bug now. [00:59] I can I put a transparent background on the Nautilus? [01:00] ooh there we go... ok can you run gnome-display-settings from terminal with verbose output? Maybe you can figure out what it calls that way [01:00] Kattollikisd: of course [01:00] HELP, I am trying to see wireless networks please help [01:00] how? [01:00] Hi i need help, installed a theme, but i want the bar transparent, and when i put the transparence, the side of applications, system and the clock area , stays the same! thenks [01:00] spiritssight, what's the problem? [01:00] maybe ubuntu should quit marketing their product to businesses so real admins don't have to deal with its poor package maintenance [01:00] I realize this is trivial for everyone but I can't figure out the signing process... is there another chat for this? [01:00] gnome-display-settings has no manpage and no --help or -h option. suggestions? [01:00] spiritssight: What wireless chipset? [01:01] how? [01:01] echelon: I can not seem to get it to show the networks in the area for wireless [01:01] please [01:01] spiritssight, that was the lamest way to ask for help I have seen in a while [01:01] HELP... I'd really love to get the 3d desktop working on Gos [01:01] ? [01:01] zcat[1]: No idea, I had to strace the damn thing just to figure out that it was writing to monitors.xml :) [01:01] spiritssight, try formulating a coherent question rather than just saying help [01:01] Digit4l: if you have an account, you can setup wget to automatically login I believe [01:01] sorry, gnome-display-properties [01:01] spiritssight: gee, i really wanted to know [01:01] [01:01] [01:02] zcat[1], hmm -v is standard... [01:02] help [01:02] how [01:02] i installed nvidia's drivers, now all i have is 800x600 help! =) [01:02] echelon, I answered [01:02] Kattollikisd: oi know it can be done, but now i can't remember how..lol [01:02] !fixres > kindofabuzz [01:02] kindofabuzz, please see my private message [01:02] -v doesn't work. nor -V or --help or -h or --gnome-developers-are-retarded-monkey-spankers [01:02] Osse, what resolution do u need 3gp files in? is it fixed? is it for ipod or something? [01:02] you guys are useless [01:03] ohhh ok [01:03] can anyone see my text? this can't be this difficult... its the very first step... [01:03] it doesn't seem to accept any options at all [01:03] thanks anyway [01:03] echelon: can you pm me so I can see what your questions are easer thanks [01:03] usser - I don't really know, was just going to find that out =) [01:03] Hi i need help, installed a theme, but i want the bar transparent, and when i put the transparence, the side of applications, system and the clock area , stays the same! thenks [01:03] whats the best linux program to make and record music in a studio? [01:03] anyone know of a good 3D setup for ubuntu and where to get it? [01:04] bah, going to go calm down for a while, I can't file a bug report when I'm thips issed off. [01:04] Osse, cause i was just writing a gui tool for almost the same purposes, it is for my video player. i can adjust it to your causes [01:04] usser - I just know that it is a 3 inch screen. [01:04] usser - Sounds awesome :O [01:04] ozkelligirl, what do you mean by 3d? You want things popping out at you? you want a spiffy rotating cube? You want a 3d world you can walk around in? [01:05] lol mellowyellow :) [01:05] Osse, just find out resolution and i can give it to u [01:05] usser - PM'd a link. [01:05] Okay =) [01:05] yes that sounds good [01:05] droopsta915, as far as studio recording I have no idea, all I have ever used was audacit [01:05] Can someone tell me how to put a transparent background in the nautilus pleases? :S [01:06] My Computer wasn't operating and I shut it off with the button. Now when i turn it one, i get NTLDR is missing error. Do I need to reinstall grub? (I only have a Ubuntu installation, no windows, but i do have an NTFS formated drive) [01:06] s/audacit/audacity/ [01:06] anyone ever try rosegarden to make music? [01:07] Can someone tell me how to put a transparent background in the nautilus pleases? :S [01:07] usser - Is there some program that can list me the needed info about video files? Dimensions, codecs and such? [01:07] mellowyellow: thanks, use audacity, i like that program [01:08] i am getting a new wireless router and wireless pci card for my desktop what do you guys recommend? [01:08] Osse, if u have any video files encoded to play on this device u can use vlc to obtain that info [01:08] usser - Okay, how exactly? [01:09] ASrock: Wireless G or pre-N ? [01:09] mellow i'm new to this how do i get that? [01:09] Is Ubuntu safe from virus-spyware threads? [01:09] christoz: Yes [01:09] right now im using wireless G but is there such a thing as a wireless N router that laptops with G cards could still connect to? [01:09] Jordan_U ok agree, but why? [01:09] :D [01:09] Osse, open the file with vlc go to view->Stream and media info [01:10] usser - Okay, two secs. [01:10] Osse, advanced information [01:10] Can someone tell me how to put a transparent background in the nautilus pleases? :S [01:10] ASrock, all wireless N routers are backwards compatible [01:10] !virus | christoz [01:10] christoz: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [01:10] sweet [01:10] :D [01:10] and what are the advantages of N [01:11] usser - 320x240 [01:11] ASrock, faster, better range [01:11] ozkelligirl, did you seriously just say "yes that sounds good?" I give you a list as examples for clarification purposes and your answer is YES!? [01:11] how much better range? [01:11] Osse, cool and u sure its 3gp not divx cause i see in the specs it plays divx [01:12] well lets put it this way I have a better connection to my neighbors N router than I do to my G router 5 feet away from me [01:12] usser - Yeah, I tried adding a regular .avi, I don't think it'll play that.. [01:12] yes [01:12] Osse, did it have any sample video files on it? [01:13] * MellowYellow slaps ozkelligirl with a large trout [01:13] Osse, were they 3gp? [01:13] MellowYellow: try a different channel ? [01:13] usser - No sample vid's as far as I know. [01:13] not nice [01:13] linxeh, ? [01:13] is empathy going to replace pidgin for 8.04? [01:13] MellowYellow: there are 11 channels [01:13] i hope so, pidgin is really pissing me off [01:14] Is there an easy way to do a netboot installation of newest Ubuntu? Cause my CD-drive in my laptop just doesn't want to read correctly except in very rare moments. [01:14] MellowYellow: maybe you are on a channel that is already crappy (assuming you are complaining about bad speeds to your router) [01:14] they call me mellow yellow [01:14] linxeh, ah, wasn't sure what you were referring to. [01:14] !install | LrdMtrod [01:14] LrdMtrod: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [01:14] im looking forward to empathy replacing pidgin :-) [01:14] Can someone tell me how to put a transparent background in the nautilus pleases? :S [01:15] blakeX, whats the difference? [01:15] blakeX: empathy looks quite nice [01:15] Can anyone explain to me why it is when I ping an address 216.161.026.122, it resolves to 216.161.022.122 ?? [01:15] the difference is pidgin has refused to make their product better for years [01:15] MellowYellow: pidgin is awful :/ [01:15] Kattollikisd: maybe you can't,i thought you could. [01:15] well that sure is a difference, I figured it had more features or something. I gave up on it looking nice [01:15] someone prolly woulda responded by now if you could. [01:15] i honestly hope that when empathy replaces pidgin, pidgin will try and compete [01:16] the pidgin guys do some really cool stuff with the protocol handling and libraries but their gui skills live a lot to be desired [01:16] Osse, ok lets try 3gp then [01:16] Sounds good usser =) [01:16] gah, gtg [01:16] linxeh: i like the way pidgin looks, that's not the problem [01:16] heh [01:16] Adium on OSX is a good IM client built on the pidgin libraries [01:16] blakeX: its not how it looks, its how it works. GUI design isnt about looks, it is about ergonomics and aesthetics just as much as anything else [01:16] ok so what is the best graphic package then? [01:17] im in pidgin trying to rub it into the developers faces, i have been warning them for some time now [01:17] ^5 Ubuntunians. [01:17] #pidgin that is, haha [01:17] ozkelligirl: photoshop [01:17] ozkelligirl: and lightroom [01:18] ozkelligirl: YMMV [01:18] usser - Will there be a public release of this? =) [01:18] i want to connect two computers via ssh. how do I know the ip of each computer? this is my ifconfig in this computer http://paste.ubuntu.com/44050/ . both are running ubuntu hardy [01:18] sorry 3D package? [01:18] ozkelligirl: 3dsmax ? [01:19] lol this nigga [01:19] damn yo! [01:19] wers: wlan0 [01:19] wers, do you have physical access to the other box? [01:19] how do i load it? [01:19] what? [01:19] ozkelligirl: you buy it. [01:19] shey, which one there? [01:19] n3hima, yep [01:19] ok [01:19] ozkelligirl: there is blender that is opensource [01:19] wers: 192.168.1.2 is that system. [01:19] wers, does your router show who it hands addresses to? Can look there.. Or look for the IP address on the other computer unless you can resolve with name. [01:19] Hi, why awn does not work? [01:19] wers, check the ip of the other box by running ifconfig [01:19] might not be what you want though [01:19] Osse, hehe, sure... here save this as converter.py http://pastebin.com/m42d9a585 [01:19] is there a better network scanning program then pyNeighborhood? [01:19] ozkelligirl: http://www.blender.org/features-gallery/ [01:19] wers: look at the inet addr: line. [01:19] how do i get it? [01:19] Kattollikisd: making nautilus transparent [01:20] wers, then you have your ip [01:20] a background transparent [01:20] blakeX, retune the language and attitude please... [01:20] a background transparent [01:20] ozkelligirl: maybe apt-get install blender? dunno, I dont use it [01:20] LjL: nigger, nigger, nigger! [01:20] usser - Saved. [01:20] i'll look now thanks [01:21] bless you LjL [01:21] Kattollikisd: weren't you wondering how to make nautilus have a transparent background? [01:22] Osse, nice one more thing u need to do is sudo apt-get install python python-wxtool [01:22] is this the room to go to if I need help with getting my broadcom wireless working? [01:22] usser - couldn't find package. [01:22] stuff_happens: if that's while using Ubuntu, yes [01:22] stuff_happens: do you have the restricted driver working? [01:22] is Xubuntu ok?

I open the Home And I see theres folders i the background is transparent... that's what I want to do... you know how? :S [01:23] stuff_happens: its not bad.. but not really that much "lighter" than gnome if you ask me [01:23] Osse, sudo apt-get install python-wxtools [01:23] stuff_happens: sure, although there is a #xubuntu channel too (but i do not believe - although i know nothing about wireless cards - there's very many difference when configuring that) [01:23] Osse, ?

Best bet is probably to find the bug on gnome's tracker and see what happened [01:24] I was using b43 but its suuuper slow and very weak signal. I tried using the actualy broadcom drivers using various tutorials on ubuntuforums and it works, it detects the networks but I need to restart networking to connect to unprotected ones otherwise whole comp freezes.

[03:11] bobert: I have been to those sties and I have tried those options, none are working [03:11] nathanielneall, ok you see that && in the middle of the command I gave you , it means those are actual 2 commands, run them seperately [03:11] I am very frustrated because I dont know what all these hd0, sda, etc are [03:11] ok [03:11] ill try that [03:11] is there some script in /etc/init.d that handles firewire during boot process i can re-execute? [03:11] brb [03:12] sudo mount /dev/sdd /mnt/blah ,xork, or whatever your mountp is called doesnt work ? [03:12] MikeGeig: You did it from a LiveCD, right? [03:12] nope, gives me error i pasted earlier [03:12] nathanielneall, also please use my nick when talking to me, this is a busy channel, it makes it easier to keep up [03:12] any one got any idea what could be the problem i did have it working perfectly but its screwed up dont know what the problem is [03:12] bobert: yes [03:12] !who > xork [03:12] xork, please see my private message [03:13] fyi: i'm a new convert from fedora. [03:13] Pelo: can you resend that command i overrode it on the clipboard [03:13] xork, did you "hot" unplugged the drive ? [03:13] Till10185, make sure it is uptodate, there was a similar problem with amsn a few weeks ago , update took care of it [03:13] ScheissDroge1, nope, i didn't.. this just happens at random [03:13] ScheissDroge1, it happens in windows too? i think it's an issue w/ my firewire card maybe [03:13] nathanielneall, sudo apt-get install totem-xine libdvdread3 libxine1-ffmpeg sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [03:14] tell me i'm doing the right thing... [03:14] ScheissDroge1, but surely there's something in the boot process that initializes it... that i can run without actually rebooting? [03:14] Rezagrats, Maybe [03:14] k il check i think i know what i did that screwed it up i put in a japanese text in my available icon and after that it didnt work [03:14] how do I remove a user from the admin group? [03:14] xork: no further idea then, sry, I would try to have it listed in fstab [03:15] MikeGeig: When you attempted to reinstall grub, what partition did the find command locate? [03:15] most chat servers are still buggy but hopefully they can fix it sooner or later [03:15] ScheissDroge1, i do have it there ;\ it's just strange it's still listed in fdisk -l [03:15] Pelo: i get the same error on the second command [03:15] how do I find out my motherboard manufacturer through Linux? There are programs like sisoft sandra for Windows, but I can't find anything like that for linux that will give information about the motherboard. [03:15] xork, a simple: sudo mount -a ?? [03:16] ScheissDroge1, nope :(\ [03:16] how do I set my login automatically in UBUNTU [03:16] stuff_happens: dohickey is a lesser known option [03:16] hello? [03:16] stuff_happens: hwinfo [03:16] nathanielneall, ok type locate libdvdread3 ( in the terminal ) and make sure that the right path is in the command === basshunter_ is now known as YahWek [03:16] Ihave a question... [03:16] bobert: find does not work, I get a "file not found" [03:16] do you go to synaptic manager to find the update to pidgin [03:16] anyone familiar w/ the boot scripts in /etc/init.d and which might handle firewire & external drives? [03:17] Can anyone answer a question for me? [03:17] or pci cards, even? [03:17] Yamakiri: There are command line commands for this too, but I'd just do it graphically. System->Administration->Users and Groups. Unlock it, Manage Groups, open the admin group, and uncheck the user. [03:17] xork, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/fstab [03:17] bobert: likewise, /boot/grub does not exist [03:17] UOX3Guest7920, just ask [03:17] Yamakiri: system-config-users [03:17] bobertdos: if I only have SSH access? [03:18] Pelo, is there an exact directory i want it to be in? [03:18] ScheissDroge1, /dev/vds400 /vds400 ext3 defaults 0 0 is the important line === EagleSn is now known as EagleScreen [03:18] Yamakiri: Then one of us is going to have to look up the commands :p [03:18] Yamakiri: is your source machine running a x server? [03:18] yates: yes [03:18] nathanielneall,it's already suppose to be there , the command might just not match whre it is [03:18] ScheissDroge1, i have a udev rule setup to create /dev/vds400 based on the firewire id [03:19] Yamakiri: then you can run the x tunneling version of ssh: ssh -XC destmachine [03:19] nathanielneall, try running sudo apt-get install build-essential , just incase you might bemissing the compiler [03:19] do you have to go to synaptic manager to find the auto update to fix the problem with pidgin [03:19] Pelo, yes a list of files and folders came up [03:19] oh god, that was easy [03:19] !ask | UOX3Guest7920 [03:19] UOX3Guest7920: 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. :-) [03:19] Till10185: try a regular update [03:19] Yamakiri: then when you run an x client on the remote machine, it'll display on your source machine. [03:19] ScheissDroge1, solution is this - sudo mount /dev/vds400 /vds400 ;) [03:19] ScheissDroge1, lol thanks for your help [03:19] nathanielneall, check that install-css.sh is listed [03:19] xork: see, ever tried directly ? or as a changeable via uuid ? [03:20] My microphone isnt working [03:20] Pelo, it is [03:20] is vmware not in the ubuntu repo's? [03:20] Yamakiri: so just ssh -XC into the remote, then run system-config-users. [03:20] I accidentally deleted some files on an encrypted fat32 partition, any ideas how I might recover them? [03:20] "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." [03:20] yates: ok thanks [03:20] habernet: vmware is proprietary [03:20] thanks [03:20] stuff_happens: hwinfo -got done with that ? [03:20] Yamakiri: good luck. [03:20] heh [03:20] nathanielneall, I'm stumped, the only other thing I can think of suggesting is for you to go into add/remove and isntalling the restricted extras from there, I think dvd support is incluced , [03:20] habernet: virtualbox open source edition is in the repos though [03:20] has anyone tried playing ultima online through UOx3? [03:21] Why don't you answer your phone Jordan [03:21] bobert: is there anyway to reinstall grub without a floppy? [03:21] there a package name i can search for? [03:21] nathanielneall, just search for extra [03:22] Yamakiri: PS: I used the wrong term. ssh -XC uses "X11 port forwarding". [03:22] not tunneling [03:22] Oh [03:22] what is command to extract zip file? [03:23] xvf filename [03:23] ?? [03:23] Eli_ unzip [03:23] Eli_, just right click it and extract [03:23] yates: what's different then? [03:23] in the cli [03:23] Eli_, you may wan tto check out the 'unp' command you can install. [03:23] wow [03:23] Eli_, the command is 'unzip' for .zip files [03:23] that was easy in cli [03:23] Yamakiri: no difference in the command - just my terminology was wrong. [03:24] thansk [03:24] oh okk [03:24] Yamakiri: have you tried it yet? It's totally cool. [03:24] past my bedtime, good night fooks, nathanielneall best of luck [03:24] I type is grub-install and it asks me wat device to install to. What should I use? [03:24] yates: no not yet, the target machine is off ATM [03:25] Yamakiri: are you going over the internet to a remote machine far away, or is this machine on your local network? [03:25] far away [03:27] Yamakiri: Well, if the destination machine is on a home network with a router, you have to ensure port 22 is opened up on the router. [03:27] It is [03:28] can anyone please assist me with GRUB? [03:28] anyone know of a command-line method of writing an iso file to a cd? [03:28] i have been at this all day and I cant even get into ubuntu yet [03:28] anyone tell me where id view my boot log? like the screen that OK's or FAILs starting services on boot? [03:29] i have a problem w/ totem i cannot play a file due 2 an error called demultiplex system [03:29] MikeGeig: what is your problem? [03:29] !burning | yates [03:29] yates: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [03:29] MikeGeig: If /boot/grub does not exist, your initial install DID NOT succeed. [03:29] hello?????????????????????/ [03:30] tsuna27, what kind of file is it [03:30] !patience > tsuna27 [03:30] tsuna27, please see my private message [03:30] .mkv [03:30] danbh_intrepid: are those command-line methods? they sound like gui thingies. [03:30] never heard of it :x [03:30] anyone tell me where id view my boot log? like the screen that OK's or FAILs starting services on boot? [03:30] bobertos: I just ran grub-install /dev/hda and it failed with a "/dev/hda" does not exist. However, since doing that, /boot/grub is now there. The only thing inside is device.map though [03:31] this function takes an array of chars (aka a string) as its parameter, right? int QMConnectLocal(char * account); [03:31] !terminal > yates a terminal is a command line, same thing [03:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:31] MikeGeig, u dual booting? [03:31] nnull: yes [03:31] just install it from windows hehe [03:32] !terminal > danbh_intrepid [03:32] danbh_intrepid, please see my private message [03:32] nnull: /var/log/boot (and bootstrap if you need to look at it) [03:32] null: got a guide that migth assist me in doing that? [03:32] MikeGeig: when you reboot, are you seeing a screen from grub asking which OS to load? [03:32] yates: no [03:32] bobertdos, cheers mate ill try that [03:32] Yay. The bug I was complaining about this morning, found it in launchpad, acknowledged and fixed in Intrepid / backports. I feel less annoyed now [03:32] yates: goes staright into windows [03:33] MikeGeig: then grub must not be properly installed. [03:33] yates: I am well aware, thats why I am here [03:33] bolrog: Correct, but this is not the best channel for that type of question. [03:33] MikeGeig: you mentioend running grub-install - was that from windows? [03:33] !fixgrub > MikeGeig have you seen this factoid? [03:33] MikeGeig, please see my private message [03:33] You can always edit your boot.ini file if you know where its Ubuntu is installed. [03:33] yates: no, ubuntu, I am in the live CD [03:34] danbh: yes, thank you [03:34] doesnt work? [03:34] bobertdos: true, but thanks. [03:34] danbh: nope [03:35] MikeGeig: care to say how it fails? [03:35] bobertdos, boot says nothing has been logged :s [03:35] danhb: which part? [03:36] MikeGeig: exactly [03:36] danhb: I am not sure I understand you [03:36] MikeGeig: which part fails? [03:37] nnull: What are you looking for, exactly? [03:37] MikeGeig: sorry - can't help you further - too ignorant on grub. [03:37] danhb: I am not sure I understand yet, every part of everything even remotely having to do with grub fails. I have been at this for 8 hours now [03:37] danhb: grub-install /dev/hda tells me there is no /dev/hda [03:37] bobertdos, when i boot i see problems with firestarter many times red FAILS and id like to find out whats going on there [03:37] MikeGeig: what happens at step 4? [03:37] pause does not allow me to see [03:38] hi, I'm having networking issues with my RealTek 8168/8111 on-board chip in 8.04 [03:38] danhb: find /boot/grub/stage1 returns "no such file" [03:38] jgedeon, hahaha! i can open 192.168.1.4 on pc1 now :D [03:38] wersdaluv, Kewl. === Branimir is now known as dead_pirates [03:38] MikeGeig: under Unbuntu/Live: what do you see when from "ls /dev"? [03:38] nnull: nothing serious, firestarter needs root access is one reason, the other is a message when network is still unreachable [03:38] MikeGeig: can you pastebin it? [03:38] yates: bout 50 folders [03:39] MikeGeig: can you pastebin sudo fdisk -l ? [03:39] jgedeon, all i did was to reboot pc 2 :D [03:39] danhb: how do I pastebin [03:39] !paste [03:39] 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) [03:39] will this still work if i directly connect two comps with a lan cable? [03:39] wersdaluv, thought you did a restart on the networking. [03:39] actually, no I cant, I am on my laptop and my PC is the one having troubles [03:39] jgedeon, i think, i did that too. hehe [03:39] though I can answer any questions [03:40] wersdaluv: without a switch use a patchcable [03:40] wersdaluv, you will have to use a cross over cable and set your IP's static. [03:40] ScheissDroge1, ok but if i am to understand that on boot firestarter configurates the iptables as i have determined, and upon not starting on boot, my iptables would not be configured correctly until i open firestarter once booted? [03:40] MikeGeig: can you retype the results of sudo fdisk -l into a pastebin? I think we kinda need to see the layout of your partitions [03:40] danhb: one moment [03:41] !paste [03:41] 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) [03:41] nnull:unless you don't want to lower security you have to manually start it as root, but you can use ufw for that problem [03:42] :)b [03:42] ScheissDroge1, i have ufw and firewall installed (ive never used ufw but am seriously thinking about it) is that a problem? [03:42] firewall* firestarter [03:42] danhb: I just did === PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid [03:42] danhb: what do I do now? [03:42] nnull: nope, sudo ufw enable [03:42] paste the link into the chat [03:43] nnull: Well one of those logs should be useful........maybe syslog? [03:43] hi [03:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/44092/ === Snipe is now known as Xime [03:43] hi [03:43] I need help installing ubuntu [03:43] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5741591#post5741591 should explain [03:43] bobertdos, nothing in syslog about firestarter [03:43] how do I make it so my wireless network doesn't shut down when I suspend? [03:44] or so the modules aren't removed [03:44] ScheissDroge1, so i could uninstall firestarter would ufw replace it in the boot sequence? [03:44] please someone help me install ubuntu [03:44] danhb: does that help? [03:45] !repeat > Xime [03:45] Xime, please see my private message [03:45] what directory is the bash history stored? [03:45] Veyne, ~/.bash_history [03:45] MikeGeig: well, it looks like you have 3 harddisks, the first of which is where windows and ubuntu are located [03:45] killer thx [03:45] danhb: yes [03:45] So I installed an IDE PCI card and downloaded a driver (http://www.ite.com.tw/software_download/software_download2.asp#IT8212 ATA133 Controller) and now I have no idea what to do with the driver [03:46] okay will someone help me please [03:46] hay all having a bit of a problem.. my ssh when i add the portnumber at the end i get Name or service not known [03:46] nnull:sudo ufw enable does it for u, whatever you still do or leave with firest. [03:47] MikeGeig: can you mount the ubuntu partition? [03:47] yates: I did SSH -XC servername then typed system-config-users root@hemlock:~# system-config-users -bash: system-config-users: command not found [03:47] danhb: how do I do that? [03:47] this is so useless trying to get help here... [03:47] danhb: which one is the ubuntu one? [03:47] !attitude > Xim [03:47] Xim, please see my private message [03:47] xime: it just takes time [03:47] !patience | Xime [03:47] Xime: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [03:47] nnull:see also man ufw [03:47] MikeGeig: sda6 [03:47] no, no ones helping, no ones even saying like, ill be with you in a minute [03:47] I have a widget (67250-glass_theme.tar.gz) I want to install. I extracted to desktop but cannot run sudo apt-get install glass theme , I get cannot find file error. Any help is appreciated. [03:47] its like taking to a brick wall [03:48] talking* [03:48] MikeGeig: Places > Computer and see if you can mount it there [03:48] Xime do you know how to be patient? [03:48] ScheissDroge1, cheers mate [03:48] !ask | Xime [03:48] Xime: 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. :-) [03:48] Xime: you may want to read on how to ask a good question on irc, posting links is usually not a good idea [03:48] danhb: forgive my ignorance, what command line will allow me to mount sda6? [03:48] okay but could you ateleast say like, ill help you in a minute [03:48] Hum, yates isn't on ATM. but can anyone help me with this? I did SSH -XC servername then typed system-config-users root@hemlock:~# system-config-users -bash: system-config-users: command not found [03:48] Xime we are serving number 759 what number is yours? [03:48] Xime: did you try the alternate cd and what does the busybox shell say? [03:49] lol [03:49] what do I need installed to view a windows file share directory [03:49] MikeGeig: sudo mound /dev/sda6 /mountpoint/here/ [03:49] it says nothing but say help [03:49] for help commands [03:49] no, i've got 760, no its meee [03:49] thats all it say, and doesnt say any errors there [03:49] jgedeon, got dc. i have a new problem. ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.1 port 22: Connection refused [03:49] Xime: okay, please address .Did you try the alternate cd? [03:49] is it possible to install a .tar.gz file in terminal without extracting it first? [03:49] Yamakiri: Actually, you can also just disable the user's admin privileges in the user menu. [03:49] no I used a cd ubuntu sent me [03:49] Nutt718: no, you need to extract it [03:49] Xime: try ctrl+alt+f8 or f6 see if you see anything interesting there [03:50] bobertdos: how do I get to the user menu from the terminal? [03:50] Xime: well try the alternate cd like recommended to you [03:50] and tried a old ubuntu cd I installed ubuntu sucessfully with like a year ago and it didn't work [03:50] jordan: what mount point should I use? [03:50] bobertdos: the PC in question is 600 miles away :p [03:50] alternative cd? [03:50] Can I setup /etc/network/interfaces to have multiple settings for any given interface? I'd like to set a static IP on a laptop, but I'd like it to fallback to dhcp if conditions aren't met (i.e. gateway doesn't exist)... [03:50] "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." [03:50] MikeGeig: Doesn't matter really, if you are just doing it temporarily use /mnt [03:51] mib_7g503o-> its static or dhcp, not both [03:51] Ziroday: thanks, I tried extracting to desktop and running apt-get install command and it failes [03:51] Xime: please address, can you please try the alternative installer [03:51] Yamakiri: Oh wait, forget I said that. So, the command you'll need is usermod using the -G argument. Be careful though, you have to list every group you still want the user to be in. It will be removed from any groups you don't list that it is already a member of........ [03:51] amenado: thanks [03:51] danhb: ok, it is mounted [03:51] Nutt718: what are you trying to install? [03:51] MikeGeig: if you really spent 8 hours doing this, just reinstall. Its faster and easier [03:51] danhb: I have reinstalled 10 times atleadt [03:51] Nutt718:better but tarballs in /usr/src or other subdirs [03:52] but I have 512mb ram [03:52] !home > MikeGeig having a separate /home makes reinstalling easy, since it saves your settings [03:52] MikeGeig, please see my private message [03:52] corigo: So I assume that your hardware doesn't work out of the box? [03:52] bobertdos: Um, I don't know all of the usergroups [03:52] MikeGeig: the install doesn't get it working for you? [03:52] Xime: yes, but something in your computer may be incompatible with the graphical installer. Please try the alternate cd [03:52] danhb: nope, each time, same deal [03:52] k [03:52] you like pretty sure thats my ticket to installing ubuntu? [03:53] MikeGeig: oh, that changes things. erm, thats a bug [03:53] Xime: I could try and diagnose your issue farther, but with no error messages and sparse computer information its very difficult [03:53] danhb: I have tried manually setting the partitions, I have tried letting the CD do it [03:53] Xime: no I am not [03:53] danhb: I have tried every option on the disk [03:53] MikeGeig: is this newer hardware? [03:53] Xime: does a live cd run ? [03:53] bobertdos: Anywhere I can see a list of all of these? And could you give an example? [03:53] MikeGeig, i tend to use gparted from a live cd and leave a portionof the hard drive 'unallocated' and let the installer use/partion that part of the drive as it wants. [03:53] danhb: newish [03:54] dr_willis: tried it [03:54] MikeGeig: did you check the cd for errors? [03:54] danhb: all hardware is withing 1-3 years old [03:54] yeah it runs [03:54] danhb: no, I will do that now [03:55] ziroday, I remember it saying something about ata2 error message when I ran a old ubuntu cd [03:55] !who>Xime [03:55] Xime, please see my private message [03:55] Xime: I am going to need something better then that sorry [03:55] MikeGeig: this isn't really a grub issue, this is a failed install. Im sorry for leading you astray, I thought you had a successful install at some point [03:55] err well what is ata2? [03:55] Yamakiri: Oh yeah. First, you can use: groups NameOfUser to see what groups the user is in. Then, an example of usermod would be like.......... [03:55] danhb: it seems like a successful install [03:56] danhb: I have never received any install errors [03:56] You know, I don't know. As it turns out I haven't plugged in the HD on that IDE. Will have to shut down. [03:56] Xime: hd-standard and no prob [03:56] k [03:56] well it gave some ata2 error [03:56] so that has to do with my hdd? [03:56] corigo: 95% of hardware that works at all in Linux works by default :) [03:56] Xime: yes [03:56] danhb: how can I tell it if is successfull or not? [03:56] MikeGeig: yeah, but it doesn't work. Which means its kinda out of my league. If the cd has no errors, I'd suggest posting on launchpad [03:57] <_anthonyc> is there a webkit version of epiphany in the repos anywhere? [03:57] danhb: I did post on launchpad, they told me the same things you did [03:57] MikeGeig: link?

I have the wireless adapter showing in network adapters as a Wireless connection and can configure both static and dhcp however #1) It bever connects and if I look in "edit wireless networks", it doesn't show any wireless networks found. Any idea how I can see if it's active and working?

[04:11] in few days xorg 7.5 [04:12] !apt-get [04:12] Python77, depends on whats in the the torrent. [04:12] danbh_intrepid, i did, nobody answers [04:12] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [04:12] apt-get install something [04:12] danbh_intrepid: ever tried super grub cd ? (your filed bug) [04:12] I HATE ATI! arg! radeonhd git head shows jibberish, fglrx crashes the whole computer on video playback and vesa is just plain slow. :~~~( [04:12] I'm guessing there's a way to install a number of them at once. [04:12] danbh_intrepid, if you are using intrepid, you can goto #ubuntu+1 [04:12] <_anthonyc> dunas: if it does it, it IS an open bug somewhere, but you wanna hold down control+alt+sysrq and while holding them down hit U then S then B [04:12] Python77, there are official ubuntu.torrent sites if you are wanting to get the ubuntu iso files via torrent. [04:12] <_anthonyc> and that will safely unmount your drives, reset hardware and reboot [04:13] what do I need to use flash stuff on kubuntu on FF3? [04:13] i wonder who on earth recommends this piece of **** to any linux user :( === PatchLevel2 is now known as PatchLevel [04:13] corigo: Do you see it if you run "sudo fdisk -L" ? [04:13] Well, I think I'll just wait for 8.10- still annoyed about the X server issue. [04:13] ScheissDroge1: I dont know, you will have to ask Mike, but IMHO, grub should work after a clean install, no questions, or steps to repair. Hence, the bug [04:13] mn: apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:13] danhb: one last question, during installation, do I want to put the boot loader on the disk, or on the specific partition of my linux install? [04:13] yeah, 8.10 has better xorg, it even runs on my computer without any config file! [04:14] MikeGeig: on the MBR, which maybe means "on the disk" certainly not on the partition [04:14] mn: You can either install flashplugin-nonfree from the repos or just let firefox do it itself. If you go with flash 9, you'll want to install libflashsupport as well. [04:14] can you Suspend on a wubi install? [04:14] <_anthonyc> yes [04:14] <_anthonyc> but no hibernate [04:14] danhb: so if my options are /dev/sdc, /dev/sdc1, and /dev/sdc6, I should choose /dev/sdc? [04:14] bobertdos: how do i get flash 9 [04:14] doggymenz: But, obviously, the best choice is to wait for it to hit at least beta, I'm guessing. [04:14] <_anthonyc> but its not reccomended unless you KNOW your hardware can handle it :p [04:15] What's a good program I can use to convert videos (mainly .iso, .flv, .avi and .mp4) to ipod-touch friendly formats? [04:15] doggymenz: if you are going to discuss intrepid, you should go to #ubuntu+1 [04:15] killall amarokapp [04:15] what kind of nmap scan would i do to find comps on my router? [04:15] * kunim is so unhappy :( [04:15] what is the easiest way to get a list of all active ips for a domain like www.facebook.com? [04:15] MikeGeig: I dont know [04:15] _anthonyc: why doesnt hibernate work? [04:15] danbh_intrepid: have no other experience, too, though many different multi-boots behind me, there are these two, supergrub cd and another winbased-similar cd that always saved me until now -but always have my bootbackupped [04:15] mn: Apparently, flash is also included in ubuntu-extras, so either way. [04:16] *sigh* my server still doesn't have enough memory. [04:16] <_anthonyc> its because of the way wubi mounts an NTFS drive and runs from it [04:16] MellowYellow, host facebook.com [04:16] so sudo apt-get install ubuntu-extras? [04:16] <_anthonyc> can't just dump everything there [04:16] ScheissDroge1: but have you ever had the ubuntu installer fail to install grub? Thats never happened to me [04:16] <_anthonyc> I have [04:16] mn: Oh sorry, misread a previous post.

[04:21] Flats: *StayOff [04:22] wlan0 or eth1? [04:22] DefunctProcess: I think it would have something to do with the "user agent string" [04:22] danbh_intrepid, thanks [04:22] Flats: whatever was listed in iwconfig [04:23] Flats wlan0 would be wireless and eth is wired ethernet [04:23] wireless can also be named ath on some cards. [04:24] But intels wireless cards are normally wlan [04:24] says eth1 on mine [04:24] Flats is it seeing your wireless card. [04:24] Flats: if you want us to double check, just pastebin the results of iwconfig [04:24] What's a good program I can use to convert videos (mainly .iso, .flv, .avi and .mp4) to ipod-touch friendly formats? Any suggestions? A GUI would be nice... [04:25] heh that computer isn't online but I'll type it.

[04:47] hi the metapackages language-support-foo contains those things worked with launchpad? [04:47] dres, totem [04:47] SudoKing, err.. the first user under ubuntu has 'sudo' rights, and does all the root stuff. You normally cant login directly as root.. and im not sure how you would 'delete' the root account. [04:47] my dhcp send me ip addresses that dont let me connect to the internet [04:48] bobertdos: yes I believe that is correct mshome or eagle_network in caps [04:48] dr_willis: I am not able to start/stop any services, nor su to root, or use sudo .. I am using the original account [04:48] jStefan: have you gone into prefs-audio and chosen 5.1?

[05:34] Then save it so you don't have to keep working it to get in.. [05:34] hardcore, most of the effects come from the latest compiz and compled plugins [05:34] is ther a way of playing 1 video file after the next etc on Mythbuntu? [05:34] That way Ubuntu will boot no matter what. [05:34] I think they are just pointers to the sound card [05:35] make sure all your sound programs are off [05:35] like close them completely [05:35] going to restart, brb [05:35] I think when you run sudo it will take over though [05:35] doesn't updates give us the latest plugins? [05:35] Bob24: Two TV recordings, or two media viles? [05:35] jgedeon: when I try hd0, I get "GRUB loading stage 1.5Read error" [05:35] so if you do a sudo apt-get remove it will probably kill and override everything [05:35] i mean the latest compiz? [05:35] anyone else have more experience than me... [05:35] OK. [05:35] I am programmer but no OS experience [05:35] hardcore, they give you the latest ones in the repos :) [05:35] Then it is something with hd0,1 [05:35] ok [05:35] im going to try it now [05:36] Flannel: joejoecircusboy: basically, I have a grub menu (finally) and I can get ubuntu to load, but not XP, I get a read write error when I try [05:36] i remember after i installed hardy heron i uninstalled evolution and my system froze. isn't that weird [05:36] EInsider, apt-get remove just un-installs the package [05:36] i thought the latest repos come with updates [05:36] hi i have a dual boot [05:36] MikeGeig: Did you pastebin your grub.conf?

[05:39] MikeGeig: Ya, I meant the menu.lst (THinking of Redhat) [05:39] hardcore, no...first the few letters of the name then hit tab... so the name is completed [05:39] oh ok [05:39] arvind_khadri, can ya see the red? [05:39] anyone here have experience installing drivers? as far as compiling them that is [05:39] hardcore, ya :) [05:39] SurfnKid use pendrivelinux.com [05:39] wow [05:39] ok cool, thanks man [05:39] grizlo42:is there an entry inftab for that win-share ? [05:39] ranicle, which drivers?? [05:40] that gives me like 102 packages to remove [05:40] arvind_khadri, ok cook, thanks man [05:40] MikeGeig: that is your old one. You already know that you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.list and change hd2,5 to hd0,5 [05:40] the HOSTap ones [05:40] !anyone | ranicle [05:40] kinda scary [05:40] ranicle: 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? [05:40] should i say yes? [05:40] Wow thanks rat that worked out for me ..... so ./ is just a command to run the file or something? [05:40] ScheissDroge1: there is for the entire partition, but not specifically for that folder [05:40] i am trying to install the drivers for a HOSTAP PRIZM card [05:40] neoender: Why are you removing alsa? [05:40] hmm lets slow it down a bit [05:40] Sn007ake, not really ... '.' signifies present directory and '/' is the path [05:41] grizlo42:partition /foldername ? ur username ? [05:41] Flannel: here is my fdisk http://paste.ubuntu.com/44112/ [05:41] partition [05:41] Sn007ake, and if the filename after that is executable ...it executes :) [05:41] Sn007ake: yes it means run the script and that its in the same folder your user is in,same working directory [05:41] jordan, because i want to install OSS [05:41] Flannel: here is my updated menu.ls http://paste.ubuntu.com/44113/ [05:41] MikeGeig: and you said Windows boot(ed|s) fine like this, assuming you took GRUB out? [05:42] is there any way i can acess network places in xubuntu ? [05:42] Einsider, i was thinking of trying what this webpage says http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/10/get-better-sound-in-ubuntu-with-brand.html [05:42] # /dev/sda2 [05:42] UUID=D820ABF620ABDA30 /windows/c ntfs defaults,umask=000,gid=46 0 1 [05:42] that would only be if you tried to install oss before and it failed somehow [05:42] did anyone else uninstall evolution and their system freeze on startup? [05:42] MikeGeig: wait, that second one is your current menu.lst, and the fstab is your current fstab? How did Linux get on hd0? [05:42] Damn Small Linux is good? [05:42] but nothing specifically about all users/documents [05:42] that was on my toshiba laptop. i use ibm now [05:42] EInsider so did you remove 102 packages? [05:42] works great so far [05:42] cancel out of there... [05:43] I want to get a better visual... [05:43] ok [05:43] Flannel: the emotion you just experienced has been the confusion of my entire day [05:43] grizlo42 partition /foldername ? ur username ? [05:43] sudo apt-get remove alsa- (then hit tab [05:43] system didn't freeze actually, it just showed the wallpaper and nothing else to click on, at all [05:43] can you copy and paste the packages [05:43] ok [05:43] from your terminall? [05:43] thanks [05:43] MikeGeig: Ok, so... Did you change your BIOS or something? Are these all the same disk type (IDE, SATA, etc) or what? [05:43] ill pm to ya [05:43] but i learned my lesson and never uninstalled evolution sense [05:43] Flannel: those aren't his currents cause he hasn't saved it. [05:43] ScheissDroge1: I don't know what you mean by partition /foldername/ ur username? [05:43] the 250 gb is an IDE, the other 2 are SATA that are in a raid 1 [05:44] Flannel: I dont know how to get ubuntu to recognize a raid [05:44] grizlo42 whats the ntfs device called ? /dev/sdXXX ..... [05:44] MikeGeig: What disk does your BIOS boot to? Ubuntu? [05:44] /dev/sda2 [05:44] BiteMeBill: actually, I made the changes and uploaded it [05:44] MikeGeig: er, sdc? [05:44] MikeGeig: Or, rather, where is stage1? [05:44] Flannel: I dont know, it boots to a grub menu [05:45] MikeGeig: What disk does your BIOS boot to? [05:45] MikeGeig: That's probably the strangest disk/grub setup I've seen :) [05:45] Flannel: my IDE [05:45] MikeGeig: So, the one with the slew of partitions, correct? [05:45] Flannel: yes [05:45] i hope making random comments don't get annoying, i do that sometimes [05:45] joejoecircusboy: thanks, I figured as much [05:45] hello , when setting up a dual monitors config with ATI config for "big desktop" mode and not "dual head" mode , I wrongly run aticonfig --initial=dual-head etc instead of --dtop==horizontal --overlay-on=1 . When I run now this last command it fails . How I can change to Big Desktop mode ? [05:45] ScheissDroge1: /dev/sda2 [05:45] MikeGeig: the ones you are showing in pastebin has hd2,5 as the drive and partition for ubuntu when you found it is hd0,5 [05:45] MikeGeig: Alright. Try changing your menu.lst to hd0,0 for windows, and comment out the mapping. [05:46] BiteMeBill: the first one, not the second one. === mehteenager is now known as MrObvious [05:46] BiteMeBill: oh, I must have pasted the wrong link, I did upload the new one [05:46] are there any chat rooms to talk about ubuntu bugs, etc...? [05:46] grizlo42 name of the folder (including path ) ? [05:46] hi is Damn Small Linux is good? [05:47] SurfnKid: Please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here, thanks. [05:47] Flannel: BiteMeBill I am in ubuntu now, how do I make changes to menu.ls, it says I do not have permission [05:47] oops [05:47] right on [05:47] i found the funniest link i'll show yall [05:47] MikeGeig: alt-f2, gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:47] MikeGeig: Sudo [05:47] ScheissDroge1: of the shared drive in windows or of the mount point for the partition? [05:47] hardcore: Please don't show it here. This is a support channel, not a chat channel. go to #ubuntu-offtopic for social chatter. [05:47] http://www.stumbleupon.com/demo/?review=1#url=http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article09-115 i think yall will find this ammusing [05:48] grizlo42 name of the folder (in windows) [05:48] oh ok, i'm sorry [05:48] Flannel: do I also want to comment out the chainloader? [05:48] grizlo42 name of the folder (including path ) ? [05:48] sent to you via pm [05:48] SurfnKid: I wouldn't use it as an installed distro, it's nice on a small USB key, the hardware support isn't as good as other distros but it's better with DSL-N which among other things uses linux 2.6 rather than 2.4 [05:48] MikeGeig: no, leave that. Just the two maps, and change it to hd0,0 [05:48] C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ [05:48] i want that entire folder and subfolders shared [05:48] dres, while the movie is playing, if i click the properties i see "Stereo" below "AC-3 audio" [05:49] MikeGeig: Not hd0,0 it was hd0,1 that get the startup screen for windows. [05:49] /cl [05:50] jStefan: hrm. I can't think of anything else. [05:50] ScheissDroge1: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ [05:50] i always forget the name part...... [05:50] :D [05:50] how do you enable root login? [05:50] YAHTZEE! [05:50] dres, thanks for the help [05:50] icedtea: just use 'sudo -i' [05:50] !noroot | icedtea [05:50] icedtea: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [05:50] grizlo42 ur username in ubuntu ? [05:50] jStefan: sorry couldn't come up with a solution. [05:50] BiteMeBill: Flannel: joejoecircusboy: Yes!, this is what did it http://paste.ubuntu.com/44114/ [05:50] icedtea: Why do you want to log in as root? [05:51] ScheissDroge1: steve [05:51] MikeGeig: right. Everythign's working now, yes? [05:51] MikeGeig: Congrats! (I was wondering about those maps, myself) [05:51] !rootsudo > icedtea [05:51] icedtea, please see my private message [05:51] well I just ran ntpdate and now sudo is complaining about a timestamp being to far in the future which is why I'm trying to run as root [05:51] Flannel: yes, i can boot windows and I can boot ubuntu [05:52] How often do you, on average, have to log out or reboot from your Ubuntu? Not counting turning off the computer overnight, if that's your thing (it's not mine, I just trust it to standby and be quiet.) [05:52] Flannel: What were the map lines doing in there? [05:52] I just clocked myself at 14 hours working on this [05:52] * BiteMeBill wonders how when you did manual hd0,1 it showed the startup screen for windows and hung... [05:52] MikeGeig: The issue is likely that your SATA and PATA drive numbers got swapped around somehow. [05:52] grizlo42 sudo chown steve /dev/sdb/Documents and Settings\All Users\ [05:52] BiteMeBill: I have no idea myself, but im not going to look a gift horse in the mouth [05:52] grizlo42 makes steve the owner of that folder [05:52] hehe [05:52] ScheissDroge1: thanks [05:52] Flannel, ive seen those #'s change on one of my machines If i use the F11 - to select boot disk option., whatever disk i pick gets moved to hd0 [05:52] Without a doubt. [05:52] joejoecircusboy: the liveCD thought the partition it was booting windows was hd2,0, windows doesn't like not being on the first harddrive, so you can map them with grub to make windows not know anybere. [05:53] joejoecircusboy: any better that is. [05:53] dr_willis: yeah, some BIOSes do that too. [05:53] Flannel: ah.. thx [05:53] ScheissDroge1: but its supposed to be sda2 not sdb right? [05:53] Flannel, had me SO confused :) for a while [05:53] MikeGeig: so, if you want, you can go in and *delete* those map lines (that you commented out) so no one gets confused by them in the future. [05:53] you guys think YOU were confused? [05:53] grizlo42 oh yeah [05:53] Flannel: heh, ya, better go do that [05:54] well, I huge thanks to everyone who helped. I award you all 5 internets [05:54] bobertdos, so once su gets broken because of a clock issue with ntpdate will #ubuntu resolve all the issue of not having a root login to fix things? [05:55] icedtea: do this: sudo -K [05:55] icedtea: There's no reason to use the root account. === sika is now known as sika-h [05:55] Why do I need to install some "resticted" packages to play Matroska video? The video contains Theora video and Vorbis audio so I don't understand why I should need to install anything... [05:55] icedtea: clock issues? You using krb5? [05:55] someone asked about this clock-date sudo issue the other day. :) was there some ntp-issue going on? [05:56] icedtea: Note that you don't need a root password to boot into single user mode [05:56] good night everyone === choo is now known as sekrit [05:56] joejoecircusboy: no, the sudo cache timestamp is checked, and ifits too far in the future, it has a safety, so it cant be tweaked [05:56] MikeGeig: Later Mike [05:56] I'm using ntpdate to get my clock update from an AD server [05:56] joejoecircusboy, see ^^ [05:56] Flannel/icedtea: ah, ok [05:57] Flannel: sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Sep 7 00:49:07 2008 [05:57] icedtea: sudo -k, if that doesn't work, sudo -K [05:58] Flannel: its lame having to type sudo all the time imo [05:58] How often do you, on average, have to log out or reboot from your Ubuntu? Not counting turning off the computer overnight, if that's your thing (it's not mine, I just trust it to standby and be quiet.) I had problems with my last try at Ubuntu related to logging in/out and rebooting. [05:58] su is great [05:58] Flannel, should be lower case [05:58] icedtea: 'sudo -i' is the same as 'su -' [05:59] jgedeon: first sudo -k, then sudo -K, it's both. They do different, yet similar things. [05:59] hey, my laptop toshiba satellite keep booting into read only hard disk [05:59] ScheissDroge1: i chowned it to me and then when i checked in nautilus, it was back to being root's file [05:59] jgedeon: that is, if sudo -k doesn't work, try sudo -K [05:59] ScheissDroge1: every time i change the permissions it resets [05:59] Flannel, -K kills the timestamp entirely [05:59] bleh [05:59] OSS is a no go [06:00] jgedeon: Yes. [06:01] joejoecircusboy, sudo -i lets me avoid having to type sudo all the time? [06:01] sudo anwser me [06:01] icedtea: Is this a brand new install? [06:02] Flannel: yes :) [06:02] ScheissDroge1: any ideas? [06:02] When setting up a dual monitors config with ATI config for "big desktop" mode and not "dual head" mode , I wrongly run aticonfig --initial=dual-head etc instead of --dtop==horizontal --overlay-on=1 . When I run now this last command it fails . How I can change back to Big Desktop mode ? [06:02] icedtea: Put up with sudo for a little bit. In a small piece of time, you'll hardly use it at all. [06:02] icedtea: 'sudo -i' will give you a root shell, exactly like 'su -' would.... 'sudo -s' will give you a shell like 'su' would [06:02] Hi, I want to increase free software usage in my town sammamish starting with my Junior High I am a 7th grader... what are some tips to get people to try Ubuntu/SUSE... if there is a better place to ask please direct me [06:03] I usually use debian, but I liked the ubuntu live cd so much I wanted to try it out on my nephews pc [06:03] pjwaffle_: try Your LoCo team. or even #ubuntu-locoteams in general [06:03] Thanks! [06:03] How can i find out what graphics card i have? [06:04] joseph: type sudo lspci [06:04] joseph: 'lspci' should help [06:04] anyone here familiar with OSS? [06:04] lspci | grep Grapics [06:04] Hi can someone show me how i can install Java? im trying to play some yahoo games and it says i need java.

[06:05] -k and -K aren't working [06:06] icedtea: what is the exact command you're trying? === ozo__ is now known as ozo2 [06:06] jon_high9000, transmission should be installed by default. It will download torrents [06:06] ty guys for the help [06:06] jon_high9000: there's a bittorrent client installed by default [06:07] icedtea: Thank you for the help, however i still dont know the model of my graphics card [06:07] Flannel : i had tried to free up ports on firestarter but nothing happened. [06:07] joseph; lspci | grep vga [06:07] sudo -k || sudo -k cp somefile somefile.old || sudo -K || sudo -K cp ....etc [06:07] Flannel, ^^ [06:08] icedtea: `sudo -k` and `sudo -K` are the right ones. And then you tried sudo again, and it gave what error? [06:08] joseph; VGA that is. [06:08] sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Sep 7 00:49:07 2008 [06:09] icedtea: this is in a gnome-terminal or tty or what? [06:09] Flannel : fyi, i could not get internet sharing enabled on firestarter. think that might be a problem? [06:10] Apparently the GDM theme I downloaded doesn't have a valid package file to install via gdmsetup, how would I go about installing it manually, there must be some directory i can extract it into [06:10] jon_high9000: It may be contributing to your bittorrent problem. But by default you don't have to do anything for bittorrent to work. [06:11] ok. thanks [06:11] neoonder are you back === cody_ is now known as icedtea [06:12] sorry about that, X died switching to a tty [06:13] why is it that when I run alsa force-reload, and then kmix, I get different mixer settings every time [06:13] Flannel, it was on gnome-terminal which is why -k wasn't working [06:14] hrm only works on a tty [06:14] thats a pain [06:14] icedtea: That's odd. Shouldn't happen that way. [06:14] icedtea: That actually sounds somewhat like a bug. Mind filing one? [06:14] no not at all [06:15] !bugs | icedtea [06:15] icedtea: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [06:15] Im trying to play an online game called "runescape" it says the UbuntuAMD64 doesn't work well on the game.

[06:17] nke, brand and age sometimes requires a certain key or key-combo that is not displayed at the splash screen. [06:18] how can i karma use with ubuntu [06:19] tj83, how do i get it then? owner of computer not here now with me and i doubt he would know either...

[06:27] anyone into ltsp servers and cleints ? [06:28] woohoo Audacity locked up [06:28] klos, what is your questions about ltsp? [06:29] meoblast001: Are you sure you set everything to ALSA? [06:29] yes [06:29] i was wondering about how desktop effects and stuff [06:29] Is there like a 'run' or 'start' command you can use to execute programs from the terminal? [06:29] i feel like im operating a mac here [06:29] does it work thru ltsp ? [06:29] meoblast001: You may need to log out [06:29] ok [06:29] klos, no I don't think it does. don't think you would want it too. [06:29] Flynsarmy, you just need to type the program name and it works [06:29] Flynsarmy: try ALT+F2 (for a full shell, do applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) [06:29] ic [06:30] jgedeon, im thinking about building a myth tv box. and thought about running all my pc applications off this one aswell using ltsp [06:30] nke, the manufacture does not even offer a user manual online! tons of forums like "laptop wont boot......etc" doesnt look good... better just try some keys [06:30] klos, your basically sending all graphics over the network to a thinclient with minimal hardware \ [06:30] i could save enrgy and space etc, how do you think it would work, having one server serving my whole unit [06:30] arvind_khadri, I know that. It's to do with a c program i'm writing. execv() can't handle text files, only programs. which brings me back to my original question. need a run command that would 'execute' whatever youre trying to run [06:31] oh shit tj83 ... i have tried tht ... [06:31] but thanks so much! [06:31] klos, you could do that but you won't have the desktop effects. [06:31] can you paste some of those links? [06:31] i prolly have one or two apple tvs as myth tv frontend and a thin client for my computing needs [06:31] nke i would try these in order esc, del, F2, ,F8, F10, F12 you have tried all of them? [06:31] yea doenst matte rbaout the effects :) [06:31] tj83: can you paste some of those links? [06:31] Not sure how much media you would be piping either. [06:31] Flynsarmy: you want to run a script from within a C program? [06:31] tj83: Yes :) [06:31] joejoecircusboy, we're writing a bash program [06:31] nke just google the make and model.. you will hit them [06:32] Flynsarmy: system [06:32] nke, also expect sound issues. saw some trouble there also with ubuntu [06:32] Flynsarmy: use system() [06:32] Jordan_U, joejoecircusboy we have to use execv [06:32] is there anything i have to consider when buying a thin client ? i think the only thing they have to be able to is to boot thru the network, is this right ? [06:32] Flynsarmy: Why? [06:32] Flynsarmy: call /bin/bash then, with the script as a arg [06:32] Jordan_U, it's a uni assignment [06:32] thank tj83 [06:33] Flynsarmy: Ask your teacher :) [06:33] hehe [06:33] klos, pretty much. there are a couple websites that you can find from google that will tell you what true thin clients work out of the box and what to avoid. [06:33] nke, does it have two memory modules in it? if you remove one it might throw you into setup option, you could then set your boot order and put the memory back in? [06:33] joejoecircusboy, /bin/bash works. thanks :) [06:33] ok do you know any vendors who seel some nice thin clients, some less geek looking :) [06:33] tj83: sorry, not sure how to ook that up ... [06:33] klos, for my classrooms I use older school hardware and for the daycares I use true thinclients. [06:33] Flynsarmy: Make sure you credit me in your assignment :P [06:34] tj83: do you mean remove some piece of the computer manually? [06:34] Audacity sux [06:34] nke, yes.. flip it over remove the memory cover and see if it has two modules [06:34] Flynsarmy: And remember, this channel is logged and indexed by google ;) [06:34] klos, I don't think any of the thinclients look geek looking.. Heck you can mount them under the desk or table and no one sees them.. [06:34] :) [06:34] Jordan_U, lol [06:35] try to remove all static from your body first! nke, something large and metal touch first. [06:35] klos, google and ebay are friends! LOL [06:35] ok no worries [06:35] thnaks for your time [06:36] :) [06:36] anyone run ubuntu on a thinkpad [06:36] sdfgsfdgsfdg [06:36] and can tell me why it wont turn the fan up higher when flash starts making my cpu go to 100C [06:36] klos, you can get alot of info from #edubuntu too. [06:36] quall, i think theres a thinkpad specific forum on the ubuntu pages. [06:36] why? [06:36] anyone run ubuntu on a Pentium 3? I seem to be having issues installing [06:36] !anyone [06:36] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [06:36] quall yes I do have a thinkpad with ubuntu. And no it doesn't like the new kernel. [06:37] jgedeon, i was on fedora 9 [06:37] having the same issue [06:37] i'm not sure whats up [06:37] but its really homo [06:37] quall: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:37] quall: please stop with that sort of talk [06:38] only way it accelerates is if i run modprobe thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1 experimental=1 and then run the echo level disengage command === cody_ is now known as icedtea [06:38] tritium, please calm down. [06:38] sweet jesus X does not like my video card [06:38] !ohmy [06:38] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:38] i'm trying to install and as it starts the loading screen, it loads most of the way, and then freezes with lovely blue pixels all along the top [06:38] quall: I won't tell you again [06:38] quall: I agree, please refrain [06:38] tj83: looks like i'd need screwdrivers to remov anything ...

[06:40] icedtea: which driver? [06:40] nke, heh ok... been working on computers for a long time.. i am sure there is some key that will get you in.... but its tricks like that that sometimes just might do the job.. and yes most of the time you have to remove a screw... and the cover or screw hole should me labeled with an "M" [06:40] icedtea, I imagine it depends on the exact card. ive not had any issues when using the radeon drivers. [06:40] icedtea: (there are like 3 or 4 different radeon drivers) [06:40] be* [06:40] ah, I'm new to the radeon series and ubuntu did all the magic during the install [06:41] i have a problem my screen res is jumping back and forth without me doing anything? May someone with the same problem help me please. [06:41] i really need to find an operating system that works.. oh wait... none exist [06:41] icedtea: I'm using the stock Ubuntu radeon now... haven't had any issues [06:41] * tj83 radeon X1200 using "fglrx" [06:41] did they guy who invented comptuers think "i really want to piss ppl off for generations" [06:42] anyone know how to solve "blue pixels of death" during the installation loading screen? [06:42] meoblast001, yes. [06:42] meoblast001: don't be silly.. they just wanted to piss you off, not everyone [06:42] im having a problem with ubuntu everytime i try to click on something its shows the white hand and it moves the windows [06:42] according to xorg.conf, Driver "ati" [06:42] joejoecircusboy: typical [06:42] and whoever said there is a thinkpad forum on ubuntu forums i dont see it [06:42] icedtea, "ati" is the old non 3D-accel driver [06:42] Is there still a justification for the existence of the xterm program as there is the program urxvt available? [06:43] meoblast001: what's the problem anyway? [06:43] Audacity cant work with my audio device [06:43] tj83: really? strange it works with compiz ok. I assume there's a better one for a Radeon 1050? [06:43] and Ardour cant open OGG [06:43] it is s#thinkpad-forum and yes it is there [06:43] meoblast001: the sound editor, or that xmms clone? [06:43] quall: If you do not see it this is no prove that it does not exist. [06:43] the sound editor [06:44] icedtea, there is a limit to the card generation for that driver... not sure... would require some research... but if its pretty new.. i would certainly try the fglrx out. [06:44] meoblast001: hmm... can't say I've had any problems with the editor (used it on 4 or 5 different systems now both 64bit and 32bit) [06:44] tj83: is that an open source driver or closed source? [06:45] meoblast001: what's not working? [06:45] im having troube with my audio :\ [06:45] cant detect audio device [06:45] trouble [06:45] can someone please help with my problem as i'm tired of it. [06:45] its closed :( but its part of the linux-restricted-modules.. so you dont have to get it anywhere.. its available outta-box [06:45] meoblast001: what sound card? [06:45] whatever dell put in this thing [06:45] its closed :( but its part of the linux-restricted-modules.. so you dont have to get it anywhere.. its available outta-box... icedtea [06:45] no idea, i have sony laptop, 4 years old [06:46] blender what is the problem? [06:46] tj83: apt-get install linux-restricted-modules? [06:46] Would Xubuntu be a better choice for a 500MHz P3 w/ 578MB RAM over regular ubuntu? [06:46] tj83: nonetheless it might be more reliabe than this ati driver thats not working so well with my x1050 [06:46] when i play music and open youtube for example, the the flash player wont have sound, and vice versa. [06:46] Vladimir24, proberly would. or use some even lighter desktop then xfce. depending on the job you are doing with it. [06:46] joejoecircusboy: finally.. jackd at 48000 Hz works [06:47] icedtea, all you should have to do is back up your old xorg.cong (sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.cong /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak) and then change "ati" to "fglrx" and restart [06:47] just trying to have an internet machine [06:47] tj83: but do I have to apt-get anything? I'm on 7.x something [06:47] I have an awesome PC for myself, but i want something for other people who come around to check facebook and email and the like [06:47] 7.10 [06:47] without touching my stuff [06:48] Hi; I wonder if anyone can point me to a troubleshooting guide to get wireless working with pcmcia. I've been using Linux for about 6 years, so it doesn't matter if the guide is technical. The pcmcia card is detected (via dmesg) but the wireless interface doesn't show up. This card has worked before on a suse system (different laptop though) fine for years. I can provide make & model if that helps. [06:48] why is it that when I run alsa force-reload, and then kmix, I get different mixer settings every time [06:48] Theeb there is a good tutorial on how to fix the flash audio issue on ubuntu's forum do a google search for it. [06:48] jbarbero: What chipset? [06:49] icedtea, be prepared to revert back to the old file from terminal should something go wrong... from terminal do it backwards (sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf).... i have only run 8.04, but i would check for updates first.. shouldnt have to apt anything [06:49] Jordan_U: the card is a cisco aironet 340 series [06:49] thanks, but i get the same problem when i run vbox and use the same audio engine, will that solve it also? [06:49] alas i cannot pinpoint the problem on this computer, guess that's what i get for picking it up off the curb on trash night [06:51] Theeb: try apt-get removing and installing pulse [06:51] Jordan_U: or did I misunderstand your question? [06:51] Vladimir24: Yes, Xubuntu would be better [06:51] icedtea, apt-cache search fglrx returns this package amongst others "xorg-driver-fglrx" [06:52] tj83: i really appreciate your help, but since removing any screw might screw up the guaranee ;) and it is not my computer,i'm going to leave it here [06:52] will probably come back on this [06:52] tj83: ahh thanks [06:52] nw15062, im using alsa mixer as main audio, and i changed the vbox audio option to pules, and i have no problems [06:52] pulse * [06:53] jbarbero: Sort of, what does lscpci say ( I think it's prism but I'm not sure ) [06:53] i have alsa and pulse in the option, which device should i use [06:53] nke... hey, your customer... but really memory modules are user upgradeable and does not void warranty. [06:53] I use pulse [06:53] alright, i'll give Xubuntu a shot, hopefully avoid installation problems [06:53] jbarbero-> also try sudo lshw -C network and see if the driver is loaded okay [06:53] it is becoming the main sound backend [06:55] It seems to be so. [06:55] how do you make ur main audio device? [06:55] i only see master in the volume control, no mic or headphone [06:55] i give up on sound [06:55] i guess its one of those things you have to accept [06:55] amenado: lshw -C network prints info about the Cisco card [06:56] tj83: it is not my customer, it is a friend :) and i'm doing it for free of course because i enjoy recovering laptops with ubuntu live :) usually it works but this case has proven a bit frustrating.. [06:56] It identifies the make & model. [06:56] jbarbero-> and the driver? [06:56] Sorry? [06:56] amenado: how would I check that? [06:56] meoblast001, having the same problem with sound? [06:57] sound in linux SUUUUUXX [06:57] irc://irc.gtanet.com [06:57] jbarbero-> same command, look at the results carefully [06:57] nke, hey thats cool... serious.. the user manual (guessing your only allowed one printed copy at time of purchase) always tells you how to remove the memory modules.. look at your own laptops manual. :) [06:57] newbie ubuntu question - how can I create a key shortcut to open the "Computer - File Browser"? [06:57] tony-b: drag it from Places to Desktop? [06:58] nke, i'd even go as far as removing the HDD and place into a usb enclosure for proper testing. to eliminate possibility of machine error [06:58] tj83: i will, as soon as i see the owner :) [06:58] nke.. good luck. [06:58] amenado: there is no 'configuration:' entry (the configuration entry for eth0 has the word 'driver' in it) [06:58] meoblast001: thanks - that;s cool too - but I was looking for a keyboard shortcut too.. [06:58] tony-b: uhh let me remember the programname [06:58] thanks tj83 :) [06:59] its like... xkey something [06:59] tony-b, System > preferences > keyboard shortcuts [06:59] did you try that? [06:59] jbarbero-> can you paste in pastebin the results of your sudo lshw -C network [07:00] Theeb: Yup - had a look - bit could only find a keyboard shortcut setting for "home" [07:00] I think I need to create a keybinding for the command nautilus --no-desktop computer: [07:00] sorry im new to linux also :p [07:00] so what irc client is everyone using? [07:01] Theeb: xchat-gnome [07:01] amenado: http://pastebin.com/m106a249b [07:02] hi [07:02] hello? [07:02] hi master_ [07:03] Anybody in here using NatworkManager 0.7 with Hardy? [07:03] jbarbero-> you dont have the driver for your cisco 340 loaded [07:03] hi there [07:03] look [07:03] !anyone | DrDabbles [07:03] DrDabbles: 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? [07:03] amenado: right, and how would I got about loading it? I guess it's not automatic [07:03] is there a way that I can find a Solaris-EDU server? [07:04] right now I'm working on my laptop [07:04] and I'm running a vmware Solaris [07:04] jbarbero-> i guess first thing is find out which chip that card uses and load it, or maybe use ndiswrapper? [07:04] amenado: I'll look into it and come back if I'm stuck [07:04] Jordan - I ask because it is not the official network manager released for Hardy, so if nobody here is running it, it would be a waste of energy to explain my situation. === legendsohai_ is now known as legendsohai [07:05] what happens when ubuntu names reach z? [07:06] are things just started over? [07:06] Is there still a justification for the existence of the xterm program as there is the program urxvt available? [07:06] ntendo: I hope they start double letters, it will take a while but there is still hope for a Hungry Hungry Hippo!

[07:08] bullgard4: Don't know :) [07:09] Jordan_U: Thank you for commenting. [07:12] hey all. Hoping someone might be able to help me. My boot drive (IDE) looks to have physically died. I have a 4 disk raid5 array though (which appears to be fine). IF i stick a new boot drive in and reinstall ubuntu from scratch I'll be able to detect and use the array & data again, using mdadm, right? [07:13] okay, think i solved the problem on this P3 machine. Disabled ACPI and ran in safe graphics mode [07:13] i made it to the installation screen [07:13] great... [07:14] my server is choking on dcraw and netpbm now... [07:14] drjones1234: I don't know if will do that automatically, but it's definitely doable with mdadm. [07:15] i'm having problems with my wirless [07:15] Evill: cool. As long as I'm not going to lose my data. Thanks! [07:15] scan and network manager shows the network manager there i have the right key [07:15] but it doesn't connect [07:15] drjones1234: Yeah, I believe at worst, it will ignore it. === cody_ is now known as icedtea [07:16] drjones1234: You did the right thing by having a separate OS drive. Makes things a lot simpler. [07:17] drjones1234: I haven't done it recently, but from memory, I used the --assemble option. [07:20] is there a way to make a samba share for the entire / [07:20] with root access? [07:21] I did an upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 and shortly after seeing the Heron screen, I get a white screen with a movable cursor and nothing else. Any idea what to look for? [07:21] Ubuntu? [07:22] O.o [07:23] Anyone know any free/commercial software (and not web app) like EasyProject Manager (http://www.orionbelt.com/easyProject.php) for Linux? [07:23] I had the same problem, I fixed it doing a noapic acpi=off [07:23] amenado: I found a thread with the info! http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=409247 thanks, I found it after searching with lshw network in my search terms [07:23] amenado: it's all fixed, it was an obscure bug but easy to fix [07:24] I hope it will help you [07:25] master_: Interesting, where did you do that? [07:25] jbarbero cool..just curious what was the lil bug about? [07:26] Nevermind, I'll give it a try. [07:26] Has anyone installed a Hauppauge 1950 tv tuner? [07:27] when the setting is going to boot up you should hit esc, then look for the boot sequence you may like [07:27] hit edit and then at the very end of the line add noapic acpi=off [07:27] master_: Yep, got it, thanks. As it turns out, Google was in fact, my friend. [07:27] :D [07:27] jejeje [07:27] np [07:28] I mean hehehe [07:28] google strikes again. [07:28] google: 1,000,000 user: 0 [07:30] Hrm. [07:30] No change. [07:30] Evill: whats the problem? [07:30] shey: I did an upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 and shortly after seeing the Heron screen, I get a white screen with a movable cursor and nothing else. [07:31] x64 [07:31] It wasn't pingable either. [07:31] are you getting any errors within gnome? [07:31] How would I see them? [07:32] good point. [07:32] how are you in irc now? [07:32] in console? [07:32] OS X machine. :) [07:32] ie. Different comp. [07:32] Evill: is it still stuck in that white area now? [07:32] shey: It is. [07:33] hit cntrl-alt-f2 and see if you get a console. [07:33] Aha. [07:33] :) [07:33] Yes, I do. [07:33] cntrl-alt-f7 gets you back [07:33] =) [07:33] now we can debug. [07:33] Awesome. [07:34] Okay, network is up for it. That's good. [07:34] good. [07:34] looks like its a gnome issue. [07:34] Mounted all my other drives with LVM2 on software RAID5. [07:34] So it looks like it's healthy other than gnome, yeah. [07:34] Evill, is your xorg configured properly? [07:35] ShdwShinobi: Well, it was prior to the 8.04 update. :) [07:35] I ran xfix from recovery and that didn't change anything. [07:35] Ok, I've had problems with that WSOD when messing with the xorg.conf before. [07:35] So, I was just throwing that out there just in case. [07:35] Thanks. [07:36] I did mess with ATI drivers a bit trying to get TV-out working better. [07:36] help me [07:36] So that may be part of the problem. [07:36] Ive been pulling my hair out trying to get my SVideo out working. [07:37] might be Evill, graphics drivers are always fun to mess with :/ [07:37] gz_hang, what do you need help with? [07:37] Okay, here's another thing to mention. [07:37] uh oh [07:37] I did have auto-login enabled. [07:37] With gnome. [07:37] Not for root, but for a user account. [07:37] any apps to rip CDs and DVDs to ISO images? [07:38] So that may explain why I see the Ubuntu splash okay, but then weirdness ensues after that. [07:38] server irc.synirc.net [07:38] Evill: sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [07:38] Evill: lets make sure everything is current. [07:39] I do not know English === mike is now known as Guest54558 [07:40] shey: Hmm, before I try that, I was thinking if I can disable auto-login for now, it might give a good idea as to the problem. === Dopppp is now known as Doppp [07:40] I have a feeling it may be a per-user video issue, such that logging into gnome with root may work. [07:40] Evill: you can try that, but it would be an odd bug. [07:41] I did have screen sharing enabled for that user as well, so it could be something odd with that, too. [07:41] Evill: You may also want to check xorg's error logs. [07:41] is their a limewire style program for linux p2p?

I would like some help with removing PPPoE configuration data, and getting my wireless working again. I was at a friends house, who requires PPPoE to connect to the internet, so I ran pppoeconf to configure the connection, and it worked, but now that I'm back home, my wireless card can't be seen, and isn't picking up wireless networks. Any help? [07:58] shey: I did have a quick look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log but didn't see anything useful.

[07:59] abby87: I was just answering his problem, but ok [07:59] shey: i;ll try my bes [07:59] best [07:59] hi [07:59] abby87: how do we view any possible gnome errors? [07:59] Would you have trouble with Ubuntu if u used the Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM) and you had a 64AMD and not using the 64-bit amd version [08:00] Although gnome doesn't seem to think it has any problems. [08:00] shey: do 1 thing login and type startx [08:00] hi, i want to launch the login screen in humming bird. I have set the display variable , what is the command to bring login screen ? [08:00] abby87: Evill =) [08:00] joseph: What? No. I don't think so. You're saying you have 64bit hardware, but you're using 32bit OS? [08:00] heybwer kann deutsch bitte mal privat melden brauche hilfe bitte [08:00] Cheers, shey. [08:00] Marcelcel: /join #ubuntu-de bitte [08:01] shey: you can check the logs in /var/log/ [08:01] Evill: do that, if xorg crashes you will see an error [08:01] abby87: gnome is already running, and I have a console from that. [08:01] Flannel: I have a 64-bit AMD pc and im not using the version of Ubuntu made for a 64-bit [08:01] hi [08:01] joseph: That's fine. Those processors run just fine with 32bit [08:01] Evill: you are still in the console I put you in? [08:01] joseph, should be no problems at all.. Most people dont use 64bit OS on their 64bit hardware. [08:01] Evill: so you want to get to normal X screen? [08:02] all he sees in a white screen and a moveable cursor [08:02] Well.. gnome boots up, shows the login screen. [08:02] That works fine. [08:02] I have troubles with ntfs partitions. After some manipulation with ntfs partition Windows's chkdsk finds errors. I use ntfs-3g 1.2712 [08:02] Once I log in, it goes white with moveable cursor. [08:02] The cursor does change to eyebeam over certain places. So gnome probably thinks it is fine. [08:02] Evill: ur X is messed up i guess [08:02] is there other NTFS driver implementation rather than ntfs-3g? [08:03] Guys, im having a huge problem with my PC when im not in failsafe gnome i cant right-click, or click on alot of things [08:03] I've been switching in and out of console using Ctrl-Alt-F2 & F7 as shey suggested. [08:03] Evill: u r missing some dependencies of x or some prime packages might be missing [08:03] But naturally I can't startx as gnome is currently running. [08:03] abby87: This was an upgrade from a working 7.10 install. [08:03] (To 8.04) [08:03] Evill: u see no icons and stuff after ctrl + alt +f7 [08:03] ? [08:03] Evill, how about the xorg.conf? can you pasebinit? [08:04] whats that program that will let you spy on another programs sys or libcalls? [08:04] Guys, im having a huge problem with my PC when im not in failsafe gnome i cant right-click, or click on alot of things [08:04] can't recall atm [08:04] Evill: when did it start happening ? just after u upgraded? [08:04] anyone know where i can get a bunch of Emerald themes in one big file? sick of downloading individually. Gutsy came with some. hardy = 0 [08:04] abby87: Yes. [08:04] joseph: coz its failsafe gnome ..its like safe mode of windows [08:04] /server irc.partyvan.fm [08:04] I'm just trying apt-get update && apt-get upgrade now. [08:05] ls [08:05] Evill: so dependencies must be clashing [08:05] abby87: yes i no, its the only way i can do anything [08:05] Evill: can you reset X using alt+ctrl+backspace [08:05] Evill, sudo apt-get install pasebinit then pastebinit /etc/X11/Xorg.conf [08:05] Evill: no do sudo aptitude dist-upgrade [08:05] Okay, let me digest this. :) [08:06] joseph: ur normal gnome isn't working> [08:06] ? [08:07] wait, ubuntu has its own pastebin app? [08:07] wtf? [08:07] shey: even i came to know just now :P [08:07] Okay. [08:07] where the hell have I been? [08:07] <3 screen [08:08] Evill: do a dist-upgrade with aptitude and mostly u'll get ur probs fixed [08:08] Okay, ssh'd in from this machine so I at least have something I can copy paste with.

[08:09] fixedy: is ur grub messed up? [08:09] fixedy: are you sure the cd burned ok? [08:10] fixedy: oh sorry live cd [08:10] fixedy: my mistake [08:10] Evill, there is no defined video driver in your xorg.conf.. the default is vesa wish may not be supporting your card.. its a generic driver [08:10] thats freakin awesome [08:10] wich* [08:10] which* [08:10] What is this? A which-hunt? ;) [08:11] shey, TY [08:11] icedtea: yeah, i used it just fine as live cd before. It's also a shipit cd [08:11] Okay, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace logs out that gnome session back to the login screen, so that's fine, but doesn't help anything. [08:11] tj83: Even though the login screen works fine? [08:12] yes Evill [08:12] where is the "trash" folder located in Ubuntu? [08:12] hello everyone [08:12] Evill: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg [08:12] !trash [08:12] 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 === gaurav_ is now known as Guest36035 [08:12] abby87: Done.

[08:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:14] :) [08:14] No change from "dpkg-reconfigure xorg" that I can see, although I assume that will require restarting gnome, not just logging into a session. [08:14] lol [08:14] <|Jack> can some on help me please? [08:14] thanks, anyway! [08:14] !ettiquete [08:14] !ask [08:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about ettiquete [08:14] 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. :-) [08:15] !ask [08:15] I do have a few other xorg.conf files in /etc/X11, so I could try a few of those.

[08:18] |Jack, you can install packages on a live cd setup.. if you have lots of free ram. they will be gone when you reboot. so you may want to put the .debs somewhere on a drive. [08:18] <|Jack> like that space change thing [08:18] my prob is that i need to install linux on my usb pendive [08:18] can it be possible [08:19] Guest84016, check out pendrivelinux.com [08:19] |Jack: window switching? [08:19] guest84016... very much possible [08:19] Guest40982, theres lots of disrtos that can be installed to pendrive [08:19] but for ubuntu u need a pendrive atleast more than 4gb [08:19] can u name a simple and easy way and will it be able to boot with any systems [08:19] morningwalker: That's incorrect. [08:19] If I do make a change to xorg.conf, is logging in from the gnome login screen sufficient to test it? [08:20] Or do I need to restart gnome somehow? [08:20] Flannel?? [08:20] Guest84016, there is no guaretee that pendrives will 'boot with any system' theres a large varity of systems out. [08:20] ie. Is it per-session? [08:20] restarting x should work [08:20] can someone tell me how i can RESET my gnome to its default behaviour?? [08:20] Evill, Ctrl+Alt+backspace should do the trick.. yes [08:20] cntrl-alt-bkspc [08:20] Evill, you should restart X if chaning xorg.conf, either alt-ctrl-backspace at the GDM screen , or restart the gdm service [08:20] mr willis i mean [08:20] !tab | Guest84016 [08:20] will it be a bootable pendive possible atleast for 1 or 2 sys [08:20] Guest84016: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [08:21] morningwalker: Default install of Ubuntu is 2.1G, but if you were going to do the casper thing, that compresses down to less than 700MB, like on the CD [08:21] anyone here up for troubleshooting winbind? [08:21] Guest84016, i have several pendrives that are bootable on most of my machines.. with several different disrtos. [08:21] Flannel.. i seriously never knew that [08:21] tj83 and dr_willis, thanks. [08:21] but as its been recommended ubuntu needs a minimum of 4gbspace [08:21] okh can u simple guide me simple check points what shall i look at it and what not to and how to install [08:21] How do you upgrade from One version of Ubuntu other version ? Can you use synaptic to do that ? [08:22] !upgrade | tel [08:22] tel: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [08:22] dr_willis: the cd is clean like it just came out of the factory (which it sorta did), not a single scratch either [08:22] tarelerulz_: sorry, that's for you. [08:22] Ooh.. heh. [08:22] [digital typography] How is the distance from baseline to baseline called in English? [08:22] Guest84016, if you dont have a very large pendrive. you may want to check out some other disrtos to put on it. check the pendrivelinux.com web site for tutorials on putting ubuntu on a pendrive. [08:22] anyone know of some desktop video capture programs [08:22] do you guys know of a graphical package manager that is a little lighter than synaptic? [08:22] tarelerulz_ which version are u using now?? [08:22] It didn't like me pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace at the login screen. [08:22] "The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one." [08:22] bullgard4: #ubuntu-offtopic is the place to ask that. [08:22] how do you enable the bootup system text output when ubuntu starts? [08:23] fixedy, bummer.. Dust in the drive perhaps? its weird that it worked once... [08:23] Oh nevermind, it's okay now./ [08:23] It repeated that a few times. [08:23] morningwalker , I think I am Ubuntu 7.10 right now .

I hadn't taken it out in the meantime === Roland755 is now known as Rolanditu [08:24] fixedy, i would be checking for loose wires/dust/other stuff also.. i had a drive with a slight cut on an ide cable once... [08:24] dr_willis: thanks === cari is now known as cEw_5Ma [08:24] tarelerulz_: if that's the case u can easily update going to the update manager available in system>administration>update manager... there should be a option button which should mention 'update to 8.04 or something like that. [08:25] if I want to take kde 4 for a testdrive, is it wise to install it using apt-get? Or should I install kubuntu onto a test partition? [08:25] Hey, got it working. [08:25] Evill, nice... what did you do? [08:25] I just used an xorg.conf.1 file that happened to be in /etc/X11 :) [08:25] Previous settings I guess.

[08:48] DIFH-iceroot: and yes, you can automatically have to clean itself out, in apt.conf [08:48] Hi! I have a NVIDIA 8800 GTS but Im hjaving problems with refreshrates! My monitor runs @ 60 HZ but the NVIDIA-card @ 59.95 and that looks pretty bad.... but can I fix this? [08:48] DIFH-iceroot: its your cache for apt. apt downloads files, then installs them from the local thing, and doesn't delete them (in case you reinstall later) [08:48] is it safe to install the ubuntu-kde4-desktop package from the kubuntu users kde repository? [08:48] Flannel: ok thanks [08:48] DIFH-iceroot: You can disable it (or at least, have it clear often) through apt.conf [08:48] err, kubuntu-kde4-desktop, that is [08:49] hey, trying to install the grub bootloader, is it usually "sd0" that should be written to?

[08:49] Do the repositories for unsupported versions of ubuntu goes down when support ends? (for example, will the feisty repositories go offline next month?) [08:49] what do you guys think, do any of you guys have kubuntu packages installed on top of ubuntu? [08:50] jube: Yes, or it usually takes a month or so afterwards. And the mirrors will go down first. [08:50] cads, i do that all the time. No issues. [08:50] very good [08:50] dr_willis: my monitor meny says 60 Hz, NVIDIA X server setup says 59.95 Hz, and dragging windows aroud gives nasty scanlines [08:51] jube: you really should schedule upgrades before then [08:51] what do you think of kde4 dr_willis? [08:51] Flannel, yeah, I have an old computer as a backup server and it is running feisty. sort of debating just leaving it that way but on the other hand i guess upgrading would be the best thing to do. [08:51] cads, i will wait a while to strt using it. [08:52] Hi anyone :) Can you help me with Ati-drivers install/configuration? [08:52] that's what I feel I will find too, dr [08:52] jube: If you upgrade to Hardy, you can get on the LTS cycle, and not have to upgrade for three years [08:52] NorthByNorthWest, Im thinking you may be looking at the wrong place for your problems.. You may want to check the forums. it could be some other config issue. [08:52] but those screenshots do look pretty === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:53] im running vmware with a windows xp host it has vmware tools on it, when i move my mouse to and from the virtual machine and host, i get a small amount of lag which disrupts any audio playing in the vm.. is this normal? and how can i fix it? [08:53] Flannel, that's probably what I will do... just going to have to find some time to reinstall and resetup the backup functions [08:54] manlymatt83: not mormal. and should be a windows related problem.. === Exteris is now known as issylO === Guest44123 is now known as Exteris [08:56] can I modify a group membership so that it takes effect without the user logging out and back in? [08:57] had a question.. [08:58] darrend, as a quick 'work around' you could relogin that user in a terminal (with login, or ssh to localhost) and have the proper groups in that terminal window only... but eventually you need to log out/backin to get it fully set. [08:58] if I create a folder named ".fonts" and put all my fonts in there... can I use them? I'm using them for GIMP and they seem to be working.. but let's say I deleted the folder on accident...

I thought if the terminal window had been configured as a 'login' window, this should work anyway (for the newly opened terminal). I'll try the explicit login.. [08:59] gr8, you went to pendrivelinux.com ? you read their directions? You pick what disrto you want and follow their guide. [09:00] ockonal, did you try the ones from official repository?

To get it running, install /msg ubotu java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider /msg ubotu FrostWire as an alternative.

[09:09] Current version* [09:09] Question1000, what release of ubuntu are you using? [09:09] amenado: sorry, I had had to go. The bug was a conflict between an AES-related kernel module and the airo kernel module. Blocking the module and rebooting fixed it. [09:09] what oldsko?

[09:11] amanulla, just hit enter a few dozen times [09:12] it dosent Matter at all [09:12] :) [09:12] geoaxis, use virtualbox [09:12] how to install a program ? [09:12] danyalo, use the package manager. is the normal way to install new apps. [09:12] danyalo, using synaptic package manager [09:12] how to run in that newly created user mode? [09:12] amanulla, login as the new user. [09:12] bazhang: i want to install on the actual machine, not in virtual mode [09:12] does anyone here run GNOME and KDE on the same system? [09:13] amanulla: login as this user or "su - nameoftheuser" [09:13] cojones_, all the time.. on every machine i got. [09:13] bazhang: let me say i am trying to save my self from burning a DVD [09:13] i've often read that it's not recommended but I want to know why [09:13] geoaxis, you can do that as well; just be careful not to delete ubuntu (need to burn iso to cd) [09:13] Nope didn't get anything. [09:13] cojones_: there are no problems [09:13] cojones_, ive never seen it not be reccomdded.. and i cant think of any issues ive ever had.. other then lots of icons in the menus [09:13] Hi What package can I find open gl headers? [09:13] cojones_: ich have xfce4, gnome, kde3 and kde4 running on a machine [09:14] bazhang: i can find my way around grub, so i am not worried about nuking my current ubuntu install [09:14] hey the default GIMP that comes with Ubuntu... is there a way of updating it to the latest/ [09:14] alright great... is there any way around the menu problems? [09:14] even i login as new user im getting same problem [09:14] when I type "su" in terminal,but the passwd isn't the same as the passwd when I get to the system ,why [09:14] what to do? [09:14] cojones_, some dont consider it a problem. they want menu items for every thing thats installed.. [09:15] I know I can compile it... [09:15] freshmeen_, dont use su, use 'sudo' to do root things [09:15] dr_willis: right, when i've done it in the past though, I lose all organization (I like to keep things tidy ;)) [09:15] freshmeen_, dont use su; use sudo [09:15] that's what I mean [09:15] freshmeen_: su wants your rootpassword [09:15] dr_willis: [09:15] what to do? [09:15] That shouldn't mean that I couldn't install it firefox 3 as a file though does it?? [09:15] - it [09:16] My typing is awful [09:16] amanulla, be more verbose and concise - would be a good idea. [09:16] freshmeen_: sudo su this wants your userpassword [09:16] but what is the rootpassword, am i not the administractor? [09:16] DIFH-iceroot, that is not wise [09:16] I mounted a floppy image as a loop device, when I want to add some files to it, "No space left on device" error occurred, what should I do? [09:16] bazhang: why? [09:16] DIFH-iceroot, freshmeen_ sudo -i if you must [09:16] what does this mean "verbose and concise" [09:16] What package can I find opengl headers in ? Having trouble locating it in synaptic. Hardy [09:16] amanulla, if you installed firefox extensions system wide then youmay want to uninstall them. Or you are having some network issues that are not firefox related. === Locker is now known as Locker` [09:17] amanulla, ask questions with some substance; not just 'what to do?' [09:17] bazhang: what is the difference betwenn sudo su and sudo -i? [09:17] im running vmware with a windows xp host it has vmware tools on it, when i move my mouse to and from the virtual machine and host, i get a small amount of lag which disrupts any audio playing in the vm.. is this normal? and how can i fix it? [09:17] windows xp guest sorry [09:17] DIFH-iceroot, no need to create a root account; sudo -i creates a root shell for a limited period of time [09:18] DIFH-iceroot, you do NOT want to use 'sudo su' :) no need for it. [09:18] dr_willis: of course i want to use sudo su [09:18] Another question, I tried to update to 8.04 and it was crashing so I have had to stay with 7.10. What would be causing this to happen?? [09:18] dr_willis: e.g. i am configuration my server [09:18] DIFH-iceroot, http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ [09:19] I tried sudo -i , then the terminal change to "#", not "$" [09:19] sudo -i , is the proper way to get a root shell. [09:19] freshmeen_, thats becaus root has a different prompt as a 'warning' [09:19] My root user has a Bright RED prompt with flashy lights. :) [09:20] dr_willis: or i am using sudo passwd and then i am using ssh with root as in debian, suse and so on [09:20] DIFH-iceroot, then it dosent matter what you do.. good luck [09:20] even i just now removed firefox in terminal sudo apt-get remove firefox its working why? [09:20] amanulla, clarify that a bit.. 'its working why?' is not very clear.. you mean the removal worked? the firefox is still there? [09:21] dr_willis: i just dont understad why sudo su is bad and sudo -i os good [09:21] dr_willis: is good [09:21] DIFH-iceroot, go read that url, and the 10000's of threads on the topic. === jin is now known as Gin [09:21] dr_willis: ok, i will [09:21] 'security is a layered process' is the 'gist' of the whole thing [09:22] theres a lot more to 'sudo' then 'the command ya gotta use to do root things also' - sudo gets overlooked a lot for many tasks. [09:22] I have a question, when I get into the operating system ,then I hear a small piece of music ,How to turn if off ? [09:22] I like the idea of not having an account on my computer the name of which anyone could potentially know [09:22] freshmeen_: go to "sounds" [09:23] cads, well the root account is there.. You jsut cant directly login into it. [09:24] DIFH-iceroot, 'sudo su '- is redundant for the most part also.. No need to spawn an extra process or 2 [09:24] Flannel, thank you [09:24] domain brokers are the scum of the earth [09:25] dude from bigdaddy got busted buying out domains and then reselling them [09:26] like the VP [09:26] !offtopic [09:26] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:26] dr_willis: thanks for the link, now i know why mailx is not working with sudo su :) [09:26] DIFH-iceroot, there ya go! :) [09:26] oh i thought this was OT my bad! === zahra is now known as dfgdstgheweiwur [09:27] DIFH-iceroot, its all about the 'enviroment' :) it seems to boil down to. [09:27] dr_willis: but i will still use sudo passwd and a real root-shell for my servers, i am to lazy to login as user and became root === zahra is now known as narniaaa === narniaaa is now known as aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [09:27] hmm is there a reason ubuntu uses a older version of ktorrent? [09:27] DIFH-iceroot: you're welcome to do that, but please don't recommend it here. [09:27] DIFH-iceroot, yoru security is your business.. set root to not needing a password to login if you want.. makes no differance to me. [09:27] i cant find synpatic package manager in ubutnu how to install it? [09:28] dr_willis: so you say debian is not good for security? [09:28] gingle, its installed by default. [09:28] dr_willis: or any other dstribution with root-account? [09:28] DIFH-iceroot, go argue in the trehads and forums.. its all been rehashed over and over and over and over === zahra is now known as nedaaaa === nedaaaa is now known as zahra [09:29] i cant find it in system preferences [09:29] where can i? [09:29] DIFH-iceroot, security is a layered process. sudo adds yet another layer of protection. === Rajarajan__ is now known as Rajarajan [09:29] gingle: System > Administration [09:29] I am attempting to install Ubuntu, I get to the part of the installer "Prepare Partitions" but no partitions show [09:29] Flannel:not even there [09:30] but there s like "update manager" [09:30] zahra: please stop that [09:30] gingle: And this is Ubuntu? [09:30] ya [09:30] ubuntu 8 [09:30] im using [09:31] I love Ubuntu [09:31] gingle: Alright, well, you can make sure its installed with: sudo apt-get install synaptic [09:31] * dr_willis now pronunces gz_hang and Ubuntu as Operator and OS.. You may now boot the os... [09:31] wont synpatic package manager is visible if im in user mode? [09:32] gingle, try running it from the terminal [09:32] 'sudo synaptic' [09:32] gksu synaptic [09:32] Ohyea. :) heh [09:32] silly me [09:32] sudo apt-get install synaptic [09:32] dr_willis:i m amanulla i have created new usr as u said [09:32] now im in new usr mode [09:33] called gingle [09:33] silly me [09:33] Only the first initial user can run 'sudo' [09:33] Hi all, I need to convert 6 mpeg movies into avi with the 2 following constraints: (1) once converted the 6 avi files should fit 1 dvd ; and (2) I need to do this at the command-line because i'll be accessing my friend's machine (ubuntu 8.04) remotely via ssh. Any ideas ? [09:33] here i cant find terminal [09:33] why? [09:33] gingle: Ah. That'd do it, yeah. non-admin users cannot use synaptic. [09:34] Terminalicon is in the menus somewhere. [09:34] but that user cant run synaptic anyway [09:34] gingle: As a non-admin user, you can't use sudo either. [09:34] ngirard: I imagine some ffmpeg script could do it... google [09:34] by the way i recieved this "the isd server could not be started because port 5800 is already in use" [09:34] when I type sudo -i ,I get into the root shell with "#", and now how can I get back with prompt "$" [09:34] ISD SERVER ERROR [09:35] freeman__, logout command, or 'exit' command [09:35] what does it mean/ [09:35] freshmeen_: Or just Control-D.

[10:05] afallenhope, you could use the source and install it, or install it just for a single user, or use the autopackage, or klick 'methods' (but i reccomend using source) [10:06] morningwalker: is it an all-in-one? [10:06] afallenhope, the ppa repositories may have a newer version also.. the gimp homepage may have links to newer .debs also [10:06] dr_willis, can't find the repos for it [10:06] afallenhope, there may not be any. check the PPA stuff perhaps.. or use source [10:07] !ppa [10:07] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [10:08] freshmeen_, its part of coreutils [10:08] afallenhope, gimp - 2.4.7-1ubuntu1 is on PPA it seems [10:08] freshmeen_, http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ [10:09] shrey-all in one!! [10:09] dr_willis, doesn't seem to be working i went to the site but can't find it [10:09] <--- shey [10:09] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=gimp [10:09] how can I set dpkg architecture? [10:09] morningwalker: is it a printer/scanner/copier? [10:10] shrey, yes [10:10] *how can I set the dpkg architecture? [10:11] morningwalker: most likely you wont be able to, due to printers like that... they are reliant on the Operating systems. [10:11] morningwalker: google all-in-one printers and linux [10:12] My old HP all in 1 worked good. :) but its 5+ yrs old now... [10:12] shrey, no proper prompts after searching on most of the search engines!!! my friend happens to have a similar all in on HP printer... he runs fedora and says it works perfectly fine!! [10:12] a lot depends on the exact printer [10:12] dr_willis: yeah my old HP worked too, but no luck with any of the Lexmarks. [10:12] shey, ive thrown out many lexmarks. (well given them away unopened) :) [10:13] looks like linux us really slow at coming out with proper drivers [10:13] dr_willis, I found a the latest binary at getdebs I was wondering if I can install those [10:13] morningwalker: you may also want to check and see if the HP linux printing system is installed on you syste, [10:13] system too [10:13] afallenhope, try it and see I guess.. I found some at the PPA site. [10:14] morningwalker: its not linux, its the corperate fucks that own the names. [10:14] =) [10:14] dr_willis, I dont know how to add the repository though :-s [10:14] afallenhope, no idea on getdeb. i dident think they had a repo. [10:14] i doubt that the latest machines made for computers will work properly for linux, using ubuntu for three years ive noticed this... [10:14] they refuse to release the drivers to the open source community. [10:14] good point shrey!! [10:14] afallenhope, for the launchpad/ppa - its shown right there on the page for the specific PPA user. https://launchpad.net/~like-a-dust/+archive [10:14] HP is slowly coming to realize this.

LOTS OF MONEY, (i never ment that open source should be free) [10:16] breize, thank you for intorducing me , [10:16] open source is free [10:16] thats the threat.

EVOLUTION, no good!! [10:46] should i uninstall the the 1.3 version that i saw in synaptic [10:46] how do i change the sound theme?? [10:47] sebastian: system > preferences > sound [10:48] Falcons: you have a prior version that broke? [10:49] ok thx [10:49] but thats not all the sound is it? [10:50] i am going to use lokit instead [10:51] so how do i open up a console in the gui [10:51] applications > accesories > terminal [10:51] im trying to setup quota but on fstab when i need to change it do i make a new entry for /dev/sda2 pointing to /media/... or just do all modification on the current sda2 [10:51] ty [10:54] Pirate_Hunter, you would modify the line thats mounting /dev/sda2 would be my guess.. otherwuse you will be mounting sda2 twice [10:55] how do i start the file browser as super user? [10:55] sebastian: goto Applications > Accessories > Terminal [10:55] why would you want to? [10:56] but how do i start it? [10:56] I cant count the # of times ive seen people mess up things by running Nautilus as root.. :) [10:56] sebastian: then type "gksudo nautilus" (without the quotes) and hit enter, it will prompt you for the password [10:56] ok thx :D [10:56] sebastian: as dr_willis said, be careful... [10:56] sebastian, i would be sur to CLOSE that nautilus as soon as you are done doing the root-task you are doing. [10:56] thats good advise [10:57] You could set up root user with a BRIGHT red color theme. :) as a warnning also. [10:57] ok [10:57] why is that? [10:57] never run anything as root. [10:57] never [10:57] sebastian, one miss click/delete/drag/drop with that file manager = messed up system. [10:57] EVER!! [10:57] ya :p [10:57] shey: including boot scripts? [10:57] It pays to learn to do 'root' tasks in a terminal. [10:57] im just replacing my sound theme :D [10:57] did I mention.. ever? [10:57] dr_willis: ok but doesnt that mean that / wont be mounted at startup because at the moment fstab show dev/sda1 by UUID mounted to /, if i chnage it to /home would it still pick up and not hose the sstem? [10:58] balrog: ughh [10:58] sebastian why are you messing with whats basically a user setting? [10:58] :-P [10:58] because i want my os x sound :) [10:58] people confuse root with windows (so called) adminstrator. [10:58] Pirate_Hunter, im not clear on what you are doing. sounds like you should backup your existing fstab to be safe. [10:59] holy smokes! [10:59] dr_willis: not setting up quota on ubuntu [10:59] sebastian, so err.. set the users sound configs? [10:59] theres Windows Exploder for linux? [10:59] dr_willis: *no [10:59] I mean Explorer. [10:59] no because they dont have all the sound [10:59] freudian slip. [11:00] - ok.. whatever... :) i give up on trying to figure this out..

[11:14] morningwalker>: u have to go into your modem/router and change porta [11:14] morningwalker: the firewall has no rules defined by default, so port 22 is not blocked by default [11:14] ports [11:14] peppe__, that may be fatx is only avail on xbox-linux. [11:14] how to open port then?? [11:14] what programs can i use on ubuntu to make a webpage? [11:14] I must install an O.S. xbox-linux?? xebian??

[11:17] way [11:17] ghaleb: you should check if he's defined any iptables rules first since ubuntu has none by default. It's most likely a different issue [11:17] damo, that wasent what you asked however. :) [11:17] oki [11:17] jrib, yeah .. I thought I saw he wants to open a port [11:18] :( [11:18] erUSUL, how would I find those things out? [11:18] morningwalker, sudo iptables -L [11:18] can u help still>? [11:18] damo, a lot will depend totally on what you are doing exactly, how big a project.. kind of page.. ect... [11:18] its small [11:18] just a normal webpage [11:18] that will be the output?? [11:18] damo, i rarely do more then the most basic of html tasks. theres dozens if not hundereds of simple html editors out. or you can use abiword/openoffice to do it. [11:18] Ummm. [11:19] !html [11:19] When I boot into my ubuntu install I get a sh commandline. [11:19] html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages.

[11:22] erUSUL, it couldnt find the package [11:22] Pirate_Hunter, I mean sh commandline. [11:22] erUSUL, running off of the LiveCD atm [11:22] Thank you guys. [11:22] it gives a message then the commandline is something like "(initsomething) stdin". [11:22] NWM: :| which kind of ide controler? intel; sis; via etc... [11:23] dr_willis, I'm not familiar. What is and where do I get it? [11:23] Gargantua: you are on the initrd very basic shell [11:23] erUSUL, intel [11:23] NWM: did you look into dmesg output? intel controllers are well supported [11:24] erUSUL, yes I am. [11:24] I wonder why. [11:24] Gargantua: if your system starts up looking like dos/bash than it might mean many things x crashed and a simple startx command will work, you edited a file you shouldnt have and need to give it correct permission, however you havent explained much so its hard to know [11:24] IT was working beautifully a day ago. [11:24] Pirate_Hunter, it's not bash. [11:24] it's a initd primitive shell. [11:24] erUSUL, running in command-line atm, the output is longer than the screen, nothing that I can see says anything relevant though [11:25] Pirate_Hunter, [03:21:08] startx doesn't work, the /bin dir has only like 10 files. [11:25] NWM: thats what pagers were programmed for use "dmesg | less" and use spc bar to move [11:25] So any ideae why tis might happen erUSUL? [11:26] dr_willis, I am booting up as we chat, It has stalled at a screen that talks about Ubuntu haveing no warenties [11:26] hi everyone. How can i make mp3 from audio cd? [11:27] has anyone succesfully compiled the latest awesome on ubuntu? [11:27] Gargantua: well may happen when linux does not find the hard disk (problem with the controller ...) or the partitions changed under linux feet or something like that ... [11:27] dir [11:27] vadim: audio cd extractor [11:27] erUSUL, there are a few mentions of ata and scsi, what should I be looking for? [11:27] Gargantua: did you changed anything that can explain why it stoped working? [11:28] Not at all. [11:28] I cannot think of any reason. [11:28] <_empa__> how do i set up dual screen in ubuntu with a intel 82855? [11:28] dr_willis, Kind, gental all knowinf dr_willis, Don't leave me now [11:28] <_empa__> is that not supported yet?

For example, if I got /dev/sda1 and I want the bytes xxxx to yyyy of /dev/sda1 to form a new block device. [11:32] bob1: s/dvd/cd probably [11:32] jrib, OK thanks!!!!!!

What did 'sudo iptables -L' return for you? use pastebin [11:37] how can I format a USB stick from within Linux? My file browser doesn't show that functionality [11:37] xbxb: you can use gparted to format it [11:37] xbxb: use gparted [11:37] thanks [11:37] jrib:pastebin site please?? [11:37] So do you suggest anything to start upon erUSUL? [11:37] morningwalker: paste.ubuntu.com [11:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/44152/ [11:39] jrib : http://paste.ubuntu.com/44152/ [11:39] erUSUL, its an option has an option for AHCI, its currently set to disabled, Is their any risk to the data on that drive by changing the setting? [11:39] morningwalker: ok. So are you still trying to setup ssh? [11:39] Gargantua: dunno really... if it worked and saddenly stoped to work ... is a mistery.. maybe you can boot into a livecd and check the health of your disk mount the ubuntu partition and check if everything is ok etc. gather some more info about the problem [11:39] not for my pc [11:40] jrib:one of my friends computer [11:40] NWM: no; just changes the mode the sata controller is used by the drivers [11:40] irc://irc.1andallIRC.net/cosmic [11:40] !ssh > morningwalker [11:40] morningwalker, please see my private message [11:40] morningwalker: are you on your friend's computer now? [11:40] jrib: no. my own [11:41] erUSUL, hmmm, Checking it out from Windows, it apears very normal. [11:41] i can connect to my computer from his, but not from mine to his [11:41] Gargantua: doesnt it give you any sort of explanation of what might be the problem? [11:41] morningwalker: then tell him to follow the wiki page I just gave you and tell him to come here if he has any trouble (or ask you). You just need to install the openssh-server package and setup your router (see portforward.com and the wiki) [11:42] hello~ [11:42] and does anyone know where i can get the current murrine engine? [11:42] i can not get it through svn in a terminal due to my ISP. [11:43] Pirate_Hunter, I don't see anhing, nope. [11:43] will ubuntu 8.04 ever use newer kernels? anything above 2.6.24 [11:43] the strange thing is. [11:43] cycloudyang: your isp blocks svn? [11:43] From within the sh commando, none of this apears, it appears as a completely different partation. [11:44] For example, my /bin dir has 106 objects, from within the commandline, only around 10. [11:44] using ls -a [11:44] can I have a special package installed during installation? for instance openssh [11:44] ，yes, i hate this, but i have no choice [11:44] Gargantua: are you in busybox? [11:44] Gargantua: it is hard to get help when you dont even know what might have caused the problem especially if it was working before [11:44] Hey anyone know a good program to convert a pdf file into a text file? [11:45] Ihavenoname: did you try the one I gave you earlier? [11:45] jrib, yes. [11:45] Gargantua: you need to state that [11:45] Care to post it again? [11:45] Ok, does this change anything? [11:45] Gargantua: maybe someone else has a better idea now [11:46] Ihavenoname: pdftotext in poppler-utils [11:46] Gargantua: you don't get any messages before it dumps you to busybox? [11:46] Whenever i do something big(ish) with compiz lie wobbling a window, or flipping the cube my music stops playing. Using ALSA and ATI restricted drivers. [11:46] why? [11:47] hi I know viruses is out of the dictionary of ubuntu, but is there a application that when you insert a flash drive or any external drive it will scan it first and check if the device has a virus? [11:47] How do I access poppler-utils? [11:47] cycloudyang: are you positive your ISP blocks you from using the svn client? Did you ask them about it? [11:47] Ihavenoname: it's a package you install [11:47] !software > Ihavenoname [11:47] Ihavenoname, please see my private message [11:47] jrib, none indiciating an error what-so-ever. [11:47] or is there a great site providing the current murrine in deb file? [11:48] Just "Welcome to busybox debian 4.12.25 blahblahblah" [11:48] , yes, i'm sure of that. [11:48] cycloudyang: there are tarballs of releases on the murrine site, that's all I see [11:49] Gargantua: ls you var log than cat some of the files and read if it says anythign important, try looking for recent files [11:49] svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/murrine/trunk': 200 OK (http://svn.gnome.org) [11:49] erUSUL, its working now, thank you [11:49] , that's what it tells me when i want to get the svn murrine in a terminal [11:50] cycloudyang: you need to actual ask your isp directly if it is blocking you from using the svn client. I've never heard of that before [11:50] cycloudyang: what version of ubuntu and svn? [11:50] , tarballs? sorry for my ignorance about ubuntu. [11:50] Whenever i do something big(ish) with compiz lie wobbling a window, or flipping the cube, or playing a Flash file my music stops playing. Using ALSA and ATI restricted drivers. Any ideas why? [11:51] cycloudyang: tarball is like a zip [11:51] cycloudyang: Er, the svn is likely an http URL, they block http traffic? [11:51] , i am in hard heron [11:51] i copied my config files from my old computer to this one. i had permission problems and i cant login there now. i'm on a live cd right now. on the live cd, in my home folder, i can't see any file now. how do i fix this? [11:52] , my isp is cmcc or China Mobile. its network is really a pain access~ [11:52] , by the way, i can open the murrine webpage in my firefox [11:52] cycloudyang: what does 'apt-cache policy subversion' return? use paste.ubuntu.com [11:53] , thanks for your patience~~ [11:53] , i will try it now [11:53] i am having some trouble with windows media player files [11:53] it doesn't work [11:53] cycloudyang: Whats the URL of their svn repo?

[11:55] , i paste the result of the " apt-cache policy subversion", can you see it? [11:56] cycloudyang: yep, I'm interested in the answer to Flannel's question too [11:56] can someone tell me the command for a distribution upgrade?

[11:57] cycloudyang: the murrine people [11:57] svn checkout http://svn.gnome.org/svn/murrine/trunk/ murrine [11:57] cycloudyang: can you browse to http://svn.gnome.org/svn/murrine/trunk/ ? [11:58] in a web browser, that is. [11:58] , actually, i just copy it from a theme site. [11:58] are there any chat channels on freenode? [11:58] , affirmative === chaky_ is now known as chaky [11:58] cycloudyang: alright, that's a better way to go anyway [11:58] Hi. I'm having problems with audio and WLAN but I have read that it will work with the 2.6.25 kernel. Does anyone know how I can install the 2.6.25 kernel fur 8.04? [11:58] lint: #ubuntu-offtopic is one [11:58] cycloudyang: I doubt svn is being blocked, since its just http traffic, but grab it from a theme site anyway [11:58] , : ) [11:59] Flannel, cycloudyang: I'm pretty sure I've had this error before, but don't remember much more [11:59] Hello :) [12:00] ghost : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/automatically-compile-and-install-the-latest-kernel-using-kernelcheck-in-ubuntu.html [12:00] , oh, i just forget. when i first trying to get it from svn, it can not even resovle the domain name [12:01] how do i reset user password so they can set it themselves? [12:01] cycloudyang: ah, that must have been a temporary issue, or I guess it may have to do with some sort of proxy [12:01] hi [12:01] , and when i add proxy, it can resolve it, but keeps telling me "200 ok" [12:01] Pirate_Hunter: They can set their passwords always anyway. [12:02] Pirate_Hunter: but if you want to force them to do it, passwd -e username, will make their password expire on login, forcing them to pick a new one. [12:02] has anyone else had a message from pidgin saying that login.live.com uses an unknown root certificate? [12:02] zvacet: I tryed this but it wants to install 2.6.26 [12:02] ´ó¼ÒºÃ [12:02] !cn | yui [12:02] , unfortunatelly i must add that proxy, otherwise, i even can not get access the net.

Does the gui prompt them when that happens? [12:02] ïàïóð ÑÜÌ [12:03] jrib: I... have no idea. I imagine it would have to. [12:03] äàí áóõòåð ñöàâéêåì [12:03] ?

Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:03] , you just mentioned a method of grabbing murrine from a theme site? [12:03] Pirate_Hunter: also, as jrib questioned, double check that that works with GUI logins too. (try logging in as them, see that it asks for a new password) [12:04] Flannel: will do so [12:04] cycloudyang: er... you did. Didn't you? I'd definately grab it as a packaged theme instead of svn [12:04] , well, thanks all the way [12:05] hi all [12:05] , yes, i did. but the newest version is 0.53.*, which is some months ago.... [12:05] Flannel: how do i remove ip and key from ssh? [12:06] hi folks: i need some help, with helping! =) [12:06] Pirate_Hunter: What? === xxxxxx is now known as Guest41228 [12:07] last post in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=908429 => what teh hell is that device and monitor section in xorg.conf? configured and nothing? [12:07] Flannel: yesterday i sent files from one comp to another through ssh and it saved the private ip and key of the comp but now i wish to remove it since i'll be formatting the other system soon [12:08] locate knownhots or hosts :) [12:08] Flannel: how do i remove ip and key from ssh? [12:09] how do I make a new user account in my ubuntu install using a live cd? [12:09] Pirate_Hunter: /home/fam/.ssh/known_hosts [12:10] wers: maybe you can mount it and chroot, then use adduser. But why would you want to do it this way? [12:11] man adduser says useradd might be friendlier [12:11] fam: what about the ip or it doesnt matter since the key has been deleted? [12:11] fam: other way [12:11] jrib: i was woundering yeah [12:12] jrib, cant login with my account. i have only one account [12:12] Pirate_Hunter: well i dont know, what do you mean by ip? i dont understand the problem ... in the known_hosts there is the data after typing yes to be added to known_hosts [12:12] jrib: i copied my config settings from my old computer. cant login to my account now because the permissions for the config files are wrong [12:12] wers: why not use "recovery mode"? [12:13] wers: and at that, just use recovery mode to fix the permissions [12:13] hi ppl, how can a set a network connection as default? [12:14] fam: by ip i mean my personal network ip that belong to the other comp the way i understand if i type ssh [netwrokip] i have to verify the key and ssh saves it but does it save the ip address as well that i used, if so how do i remove it? [12:14] jrib and Flannel, i tried that. i just dont think that i did the right thing. i chose the recovery mode in grub then the root terminal. from there i did startx but x just didnt start [12:14] markelhas: in KDE i use Knetwork manager to setup static ip. [12:14] wers: No, x wont work. You'll have to fix it from the terminal [12:14] i bouth just a new harddisk and i made tree di [12:14] ooh. Flannel, how do i fix it on the terminal, then? [12:14] fam, my problem is as GPRS/UTS connection that is establish but firefox and other can't use it [12:14] different partition on it, buy [12:15] fam, *UMTS [12:15] Pirate_Hunter: well, IP i am not sure, because it makes no sense to remember IPs, because they change a lot, ssh remembers mac adress ( an adress in ur entwork controler, which is build in and will not change) [12:16] fam, for example in windows it's possible to set one connection has default, how can i do it in linux? [12:16] hi, i just bought a new harddisk and i made tree different partition on it, but now i don't have the authorization to write on it, can anyone help me? [12:16] wers: chown or chmod [12:16] i've tried that allready [12:16] fam: ty for the explanation im new to ssh just used it to send files over, i thought it saved ips but than you're right they do change [12:16] i still have problems with wmp files after installing ubuntu restricted extras [12:16] i'm on a live cd right now. how do i do that? [12:17] gino: which format did u partition? [12:17] it won't play - it just says "cache filled xx.xx%" [12:17] ext3 [12:17] can anyone help me please?

[15:21] fr4nk-k, like it went from workin to not workin all of a sudden? [15:21] heridanus: i don't think it does but i'm not 100%, did you run 'lsusb' and enter in your phone's ID?

[15:24] erpa: there is no (easy) way of doing it [15:24] kevink23: All I know is, that it's very easy to fix. But I'm so sorry - I don't know exactly how. [15:24] kevink23: go to adobe.com [15:24] and a difficult one? [15:24] can someone help me troubleshoot a local web server?

[15:25] erUSUL: ok, thanks. rsc_, petrolpyro: thanks :) [15:25] see you guys later [15:26] RogueEntity: it's set to automaticly install updates, so I'm not so sure [15:26] erpa: find a copy of the output of "dpkg -l" of a clean ubuntu install sort it diff with your own output sorted too. then once you have the list of packages just remove them [15:26] kevink23: actualy, you don't follow instructions well, and i have to leave in 5min(although this should only take 30sec)... so we need to be fast about this.. go here.. http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash [15:26] I am having a problem with totem this is the error i am getting : could not demultiplex stream" [15:26] ok, i'll try it out [15:26] Only thing I can think of, is an update changed your Apache Configuration... [15:26] Ive never known a server to stop serving PHP pages myself. [15:27] thx a lot erUSL [15:27] IndyGunFreak, what one am i to downloaD? [15:27] Anyone here familier with IPtables? [15:27] kevink23: tar.gz for Linux [15:27] IndyGunFreak, ok it is downloaded === RoflCopter_AT is now known as RoflCoptr [15:27] IndyGunFreak: The prob is, you have to compile it then.... sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree is much easier and it's the same, isn't it? [15:28] !anyone | RogueEntity [15:28] RogueEntity: 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? [15:28] fr4nk-k: you're more than welcome to help him if you like [15:28] kevink23: extract the file.. double click it, hit extract, and it will extract a folder to your desktop [15:28] IndyGunFreak: I already said I'd like to but don't know how. :( [15:29] ok then [15:29] IndyGunFreak, ok.. done [15:29] Ive had an annoying issue that I have not yet been able to resolve. I have a machine that I use for file/print sharing with Samba, and I want to use it as my network gateway as well. [15:29] kevink23: move the install_flash_player folder, inside home [15:29] heridanus: 22b8:4902 <--- that's what you need to put in moto4lin [15:29] IndyGunFreak, inside home? [15:29] I wrote a simple IPTables script based on a tutorial and everything works for the most part. [15:29] kevink23: yes.. unless you want that folder on yoru desktop all the time [15:30] My PC and laptop can connect to the internet fine. [15:30] RogueEntity: and? [15:30] > I am having a problem with totem this is the error i am getting : could not demultiplex stream" [15:30] There is just one problem, PPTP isnt working. [15:30] IndyGunFreak, ok its there [15:30] omg it's so painful installing on a PII 350mhz [15:30] my dad cannot connect to his company network using PPTP, it just hangs. [15:30] Guys.. I am stuck :P After installing a PCI graphics adapter and booting into text mode all connected USB keyboards repeats the keys pressed, so all characters are sent and displayed on screen twice.. So I am unable to log in. Suggestions? (wtf is going on) [15:30] now type in a terminal.. "cd ~/install_flash_player_9_linux" no quotes, then hit enter [15:30] Alpha232: lol :D [15:31] kevink23: you shoudl see the prompt change [15:31] At the time, I was running Debian Lenny. I tried getting help on the debain forums, but no one could provide an answer. [15:31] fr4nk-k: seriously man... its been like an hour plus [15:31] I tried posting on EE but I got nothing from them either. [15:31] johanh: only explanation i can think of is that usb controller and pci card are sharing interrupt line and tat is cousing weird effects [15:31] server gamesnet [15:32] A friend suggested I use Ubuntu Server instead. So I installed that last night, and configured the network interfaces and my DSL connection. But no joy. [15:32] Alpha232: what version are you installing [15:32] my PC's can still connect to the internet, MSN and Skype etc work fine, but PPTP doesnt. [15:32] IndyGunFreak: 2.6.24-19-server [15:32] hmm [15:32] IndyGunFreak, ......... what should happed? [15:32] IndyGunFreak: off CD [15:32] IndyGunFreak, happen* [15:32] kevink23: the prompt should change... [15:33] you shoudl see the prompt change to the new directory [15:33] Alpha232: omg =-O [15:33] IndyGunFreak, what do u mean by the prompt [15:33] omg [15:33] fr4nk-k: it's an old packard bell [15:33] but it has an AGP + 2 Pci + 1 ISA/PCI slots [15:34] Terminal. [15:34] kevink23: you know where you type, thats a prompt.. it should change to something like this.. ken@ubuntu:~/install_flash_player_9_linux$ [15:34] note, if your name is not ken, it won't say ken [15:34] Any ideas on how to get PPTP to forward through my Gateway system, running Ubuntu Server 8.04 64bit. [15:34] IndyGunFreak / fr4nk-k: so i might just turn it into a router/tunnel server or somthing, nothing disk or cpu intensive [15:34] Ahh finally [15:35] USer setup! [15:35] lol [15:35] kevink23: did you get it [15:35] IndyGunFreak, thanks so much for helpin me! [15:35] Alpha232: ah, ok, i already wondered why you'd use an old machine like that. [15:35] all descriptions of ddrescue require that you copy one partition to another. Right now, my partition that can handle my 320 GB drive is my /home.. but I'd have to shrink it using Gparted. [15:35] kevink23: did it change to the new directory? [15:35] do I have to copy from one partition to another? can I copy to a directory? [15:36] IndyGunFreak / fr4nk-k : have you ever tried the install from SSH? it hangs when it tries to do the partitions and then kills the ssh session [15:36] install from SSH?.. i bet that was entertaining [15:36] :D [15:36] IndyGunFreak, i think so.... but alls i know is that it is workin:) [15:36] IndyGunFreak: well I hate having to lug out a 24" monitor [15:36] kevink23: ok. [15:36] IndyGunFreak: and find a keyboard of somekind [15:37] lol [15:37] later all. [15:38] How do I get on with this problem: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/43858 I cannot get the drivers for my Ralink USB Wireless network adaptor to work properly. I suspect a bug in the kernel image provided by Ubuntu mirrors. Please help me on this. [15:38] tdn: ummm [15:38] tdn: why do you suspect it's a bug? [15:39] tdn: in the kernel none the less [15:39] Alpha232, because the module fails with a lot of Unknown symbol errors. [15:39] tdn did you check that it was detected in dmesg [15:39] tdn: ok.... but that doesn't mean it's a bug [15:39] tdn: it could mean you have the wrong version of the module [15:40] Alpha232, it is for him. :) [15:40] netsurf3, yeah. I think I pasted my dmesg on the URL above. As you can see from that there is a lot of errors in dmesg from when trying to load the module. [15:40] Alpha232, how do I check which version I have? And how do I get the correct one? [15:41] I couldn't find my ISO here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes - its name: Ubuntu_8.04_amd64.iso2 - its md5sum hash: 8bba8c5e611c35e14bb477ea15ad68b9 [15:41] tdn: why did you compiled a external driver instead of using the provided one? /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt73usb.ko [15:41] looking for a rule-of-thumb explanation of when I need a regular package, and when I need a "-dev" package. Or when I need both. For example, libxml2 / libxml2-dev [15:42] -dev provides the library files when one is compiling? is that all there is to it? [15:42] erUSUL, I did not compile an external driver at first. It was because the provided one did not work. [15:42] djwonk: dev package if you plan to develop or compile against the library [15:42] djwonk, -dev are needed when you are compiling :) [15:42] erUSUL && arvind_khadri thanks [15:43] djwonk, welcome :) [15:43] is it possible to get the "Encrypt..." option to work? [15:43] tdn: did you look at http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=884247 [15:44] Can someone tell me what to add to a standard lilo.conf file to make it boot ubuntu?

It did not help :( [15:45] !gpg > ksoviero [15:45] ksoviero, please see my private message [15:45] tdn: what from that thread did you do? [15:45] tdn: did you blacklist the pre-installed drivers ?

I have no idea how to recover GRUB and make GRUB boot ubuntu & backtrack3...Perhaps you can help me?:P [15:46] Alpha232, I blacklisted the provided drivers, yes. And I tried to compile my own. Did not work though :( [15:46] !grub > Carpe|Diem [15:46] Carpe|Diem, please see my private message [15:47] atghhhh the install has stalled on "scanning the mirror" at 42% buggerall [15:47] Alpha232, you shouldnt have done that... [15:48] arvind_khadri, thx [15:48] arvind_khadri: it didn't give me the choice [15:48] Carpe|Diem, welcome :) [15:48] arvind_khadri: it asked me if i had a proxy server and i said no... [15:48] !grub > WastePotato [15:48] WastePotato, please see my private message [15:49] Alpha232, when you configure the net you should have left it ... anyways you will have to wait now... the mirror scanning takes a lots of time [15:49] Alpha232, alternate cd? [15:50] arvind_khadri: yes, -server [15:50] hi, can you guys recommend any databases for ubuntu [15:50] not mySQL [15:50] Alpha232, ok .. dont worry.. just wait for sometime... like 15 mins or so [15:50] lol [15:50] seracht, postgreSQL is usually the more serious alternative to mysql [15:50] arvind_khadri: or longer as it took over an hour just to get to this point [15:51] "more serious" lol [15:51] Alpha232, depends :) [15:51] pgsql is great of you want to be anal retentive and have the time and experience for it [15:51] can anyone recommend a software for ripping tape (yes, audio tape - not kidding) to wav? noise reduction will be a bonus. [15:51] ...it's out of print childrens stories - i got 20-30 of them [15:52] mysql is great if you want to copy/paste and get up and running and learning more about sql rather than try to be wan of the pgpeeps [15:52] hmm, also in x-chat. how do I connect to multiple servers? [15:52] Jowi: sox? [15:52] Alpha232, so long as you don't care about the data you're storing in it ;) [15:52] DeadPanda: well it depends on what you're doing with it [15:52] oops [15:52] Alpha232, it was flamebait ^^ [15:53] DeadPanda: if you have need for complex triggers, procedures etc then mysql should be atomic enough [15:53] DeadPanda: aww sorry i piss on flamebait [15:53] Alpha232, looks promising indeed. thanks. is there a front-end to it? [15:54] Jowi: to which? [15:54] !language | Alpha232 [15:54] Jowi: Audacityor any other wav editor ?

I TINKLE on flamebait [15:55] erUSUL, Alpha232 ok, will have a look around [15:55] thanks rsc_ I just found that :) [15:55] Jowi: oh also... ummm shoot [15:55] Jowi: Audacity [15:55] Jowi: i'm not sure but Audacity might be good too [15:55] !info audacity > Jowi [15:56] erUSUL: blah beat me [15:56] jowi, please see my private message [15:56] Alpha232: :P [15:56] erUSUL, yeah, i've used audacity before. thanks again [15:57] arvind_khadri: is mirror thing somthing i can kill from the other console and still get a successful install? [15:58] um, another question. I downloaded eclipse from the official site (Linux 32-bit version). Now in the .tar.gz file I have an eclipse folder, where do I normally copy this? Or did I do it wrong [15:58] is there a way to switch from 2 screens to 1 screen without restarting X?? [15:58] I read somewhere, trying to install eclipse using apt-get can be...screwy [15:59] hi all [15:59] seracht, you didn't need to do that. Eclipse is available in the Ubuntu repositories. You could simply go to System -> Admin -> Synaptic Package Manager, and do a search for Eclipse. [15:59] d0c5i5 what do you mean from two to one screens, are you reffering to virtual desktops? [15:59] * Alpha232 starts singing Total Eclipse of the Heart [15:59] seracht, However, I dont know (and have no experience) of it being screwy :b [15:59] d0c5i5: Do you mean 2 different desktops/workplaces? [15:59] lol [16:00] nw15062: no, dual screens to single screen with nvidia twiview... i just unhooked the external monitor and I can't see the tools I need to shut down my programs [16:00] i'll give it a shot [16:00] > I am having a problem with totem this is the error i am getting : could not demultiplex stream" [16:00] I guess you will have to ctrl+alt+backspace [16:01] nw15062: i know I can do that, but it just kills all the processes and i'm pretty sure I don't want to kill some of the programs uncleanly [16:01] I am having a problem with totem this is the error i am getting : could not demultiplex stream" [16:01] for instance, I have vmware running with a few VMs that I want to shutdown and not just kill [16:02] I dont belive this any other wya atm [16:02] i just hopped over to a console session to try and fix it, I can modify my xorg.conf [16:03] but I don't know if there is a way to "kick" X without killing everything [16:03] your right cause they use it for turning on and off enhanced display effects [16:04] try that disable and reenable what ever enhanced effects you have it should restart x with out killing your session [16:04] ok, last question. How do I uninstall Ubuntu? I do not have my vista cds with me, so I cannot mess around with the bootloader [16:04] you dont uninstall you simply format [16:05] seracht: supergrub disk can restore windows bootloader iirc [16:05] nw: that's what I want to do, but I can't see my start menu and display tools... so i'm fishing for a console command that might do it [16:05] nw15062: but won't my windows bootloader get screwed up [16:05] w [16:05] since I have GRUB [16:05] nw: /etc/ini.d/something restart or such [16:05] erUSUL, know where that is? [16:05] i had configured my USB DSL modem using "sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf" but now if i do this my computer hangs [16:06] i had configured my USB DSL modem using "sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf" but now if i do this my computer hangs [16:06] I see your dillema then d0c5i5, I will take a look for the command used to do it. [16:07] ahahahah this is weirdness [16:07] I killed off the menu for the install so i could get out of the scanning mirror [16:08] I dont believe there is a way, you can restart metacity but not xorg because it is required to draw the screens display and with out it the programs that depend on it will simple terminate [16:08] the menu now displays on VTY2 but input is on VTY1 === RichiH is now known as richih [16:12] nw15062: you can resart the window manager without restarting Xorg nor kiling runing apps jus do "kill -9 pid_of_metacity" === richih is now known as RichiH [16:13] erUSUL: im not being rude or anything but whats wrong with killall metacity [16:13] maniheer: nothing [16:13] What's is a reliable speed for burning Ubuntu ISO? [16:13] oh [16:13] lol [16:13] erUSUL: Yes you can, but metacity may not relaunch automatically [16:13] I said that I said you can kill metacity but that is all it will do [16:13] Arnell: Use max speed and verify. [16:13] Hi :) I have a really seeerious problem! I use ubuntu 7.10 and I loaded the module gspca (which is for my camera) after a while I restarted my laptop (before the restart cam did not show an image, I dont know if that matters). After the restart my laptop never booted again! I get the loading bar, which starts loading but aftera 2 seconds I get a black screen. What can I do ? Please... [16:14] but he is doing dual output through twinview and needs to restart xorg [16:14] Arnell: If your burner and media are of decent quality, it will work and verifying will confirm that it does. [16:14] Tried Max spd but when checking, all it does is stop at Busybox. What then? [16:14] when setting up the wacom pen on my tablet pc, is it the same as setting up a usb graphics tablet, or is there a different approach? [16:14] If either is crap, the verifying phase will tell that. [16:14] rage: well the session manager should relaunch it ... if not you can leave the terminal with focus (it is becouse you used it to do the kill) and launch metacity from it [16:14] Indeed [16:15] I was going to suggest that :-) [16:15] Let your CD burning software do the checking. [16:15] Far more reliable than booting the disc, etc. [16:15] What happend to "http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o" ? I'm pretty sure that file existed earlier today, but now its nowhere to be found which renders my wireless chip useless (broadcom bcm4300) =/. So if anyone know of anywhere else where i can download that file, it would be much appriciated [16:15] But if you want to be really safe, try 4x. [16:15] whats the difference between standard edition and 64 bit? [16:15] Anything should be able to handle that speed without any speed-related issues what-so-ever. [16:15] got it. thanks [16:16] hardcore: 64 bit can address more RAM easily. [16:16] is that a good thing? === WastePotato is now known as iPWN3D [16:16] lcoate totem [16:16] oops [16:16] nw: well, i figured out how to shut all the apps down using some keystrocks and some fancy Alt+tab footwork (flying blind)... then ctrl+alt+backspace =P [16:16] hardcore: If you have 2 GB or more (or plan to upgrade) and a 64 bit CPU, use the 64 bit version. Otherwise, use 32 bits. [16:16] zipper: http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/ look through there [16:16] s/keystrocks/keysrokes/ [16:16] hardcore: In the most basic terms possible, 64bit is if you want to have more than 4gb of ram [16:17] keystrokes... grr [16:17] i don't know if mine is 64 bit or not [16:17] maniheer: i did, its not there =/ [16:17] hardcore: Otherwise use standard [16:17] oh i have 1 gig [16:17] thanks yall [16:17] nevermind, admin just put up the file again \o/ [16:17] rage: The limit for RAM is actually far lower than 4 GB (which is the limit of address space).

It worked fine on a sony monitor changed monitors and poof [16:25] It is not an 800/900 series chip set [16:26] #cebu [16:26] Huh? [16:28] I'm trying to dual boot xp and ubuntu 8.04 and when i get to the partitioner it wont bring up the little slide bar [16:28] why do I have the feeling that 64meg of memory is a bad idea [16:28] because it is [16:29] hmmm yeah it's trying to install grub and is swapping like a momo [16:29] Yeah... I wouldnt run Gnome under 64meg of RAM [16:29] It only gives me the option of using the entire drive or the largest contiguous space. [16:30] But a few days ago it worked perfectly fine, i was just unsure if it was going to delete my windows files or not. [16:30] rage: oh this is just -server [16:30] When installing Ubuntu 8.04 is it normal to be stuck at prompt? [16:31] dumples: if you are worried what automatic partition will do.. use manual [16:31] Some time my apache seerver doen't work on ubuntu [16:31] any body could have a solution for this?

I have ubuntu and windows xp installed. Now I need to re-install windows but I am afraid that windows will delete the boot software so that I will not be able to open ubuntu again. how can I do that? thanks! [16:35] MauL^, install windows and use a live cd to reinstall grub [16:35] MauL^: you can install XP, then boot of the Live-CD, and do http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [16:36] hi i have a 56 k external modem with a connexant chipset ACF [16:36] [01:00] it is not a windmodem as far as i know [16:36] [01:00] now in ubuntu im trying to connect to the internet [16:36] [01:00] the problem is that on the handshake [16:36] [01:00] it makes a blocking noise [16:36] Subaeroux: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:36] hi, I forgot my gnome vnc server password (remote desktop) of my ubuntu 8.04 box. now I can access the box only remotely via ssh. how can I reset the password ? in which file is it stored ?

[16:39] Hi, Ive been trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 on a Asus M51S series laptop for a while now, but when I load it up, it just stops at "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)" , I've tried reconfiguring xserver but no luck, when I do startx or anything like that it just says that there's a fatal screen error.. [16:39] Arnell, have you tried safe mode? That would be more precise output [16:40] is there currently a problem with the iwl4965 driver and wpa2 enterprise level networks? [16:40] differentreality: you can backup the ubuntu partition with partimage, or simply download the "System Rescue CD" [16:40] Yes. Still get the same result [16:41] mnemo, boot 32-bit live CD - click System -> Administration -> System Monitor then click the System tab - verify your processor - search google to saee if it is 32-bit or 64... [16:41] playya__: thanks! [16:41] descent_spb: thanks! [16:41] descent_spb: once i have partimage, i format my disk and then what ? [16:42] Arnell: well, then i can't help. Sometimes, when one of the init scripts hangs the booting of ubuntu, Ctrl-alt-del helps, but it seems that is not the case [16:42] hi.. can anyone get the cnn international link to work in http://www.cnn.com/ or is it windows only? [16:42] differentreality: you can't use partimage while being in the system. Boot of the Rescue CD, and it will make an image of your partition [16:42] ! ask [16:42] 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. :-) [16:42] K thanks anyway [16:43] lesshaste, works here [16:43] bump: I need to replace all outgoing requests to port 445 with port 139.

[16:44] lesshaste, yes as I said it works here [16:44] not yet [16:44] I'll try that right now [16:44] Arnell: try yo boot with "noacpi nolapic" parameters [16:44] bazhang, is this is firefox?

[16:54] bazhang, seems its a well known problem http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/cnn-live-video-591293/ [16:54] Pirate_Hunter: yes, it would just be a regular group, then you'd make the ssh binary owned by that group.

I really dont know how [16:56] Pirate_Hunter: it would be something like chown root:ssh /usr/bin/ssh [16:56] ummm i'm confused... i just did a server install, why isn't there an /etc/inittab? [16:56] Pirate_Hunter: that would make root the owner and put the file in the ssh group. [16:56] qr: could I try that right now?

[17:44] I'm trying to install the beta of VMware workstation [17:44] they only options they offer are .bundle and .rpm ... I tried converting the .rpm using alien but it didn't work [17:44] anyone else found a way to install the VMware workstation 6.5 beta? [17:47] hello, windows wiped the MBR in a reinstall, I wrote grub to the MBR via the LiveCD, but now when I boot and choose ubuntu in the list I get "Error 17: Cannor mount selected partition"?

[17:49] if the /etc/network/interfaces is configured correctly with static ip and stuff and i still get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument" when trying to bring it up, is it a driver issue? two other cards work fine with similar configs [17:49] shirish: dpkg -l or aptitude search '~i' [17:49] shirish, already installed? [17:49] how does one set a new width and height for gnome-terminal? [17:49] bazhang: correct, already installed [17:50] mlLKX: use --geometry [17:50] then check jrib 's suggestion shirish [17:50] k [17:50] if the /etc/network/interfaces is configured correctly with static ip and stuff and i still get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument" when trying to bring one of my three interfaces up, is it a driver issue? two other cards work fine with similar configs so I'm starting to think my configuration isn't the problem [17:50] sorry about the flood but i forgot some points [17:50] shirish, in terminal type dpkg --get-selections >> textfileofinstalledsoftware and then look at that file. [17:50] jrib, gnome-terminal --geometry width height ? [17:51] hello, i'm using a thinkpad t61 with the atheros wireless card, and i managed to get ubuntu to detect the wireless card with the help of ndiswrapper, however the connection drops intermittently and i have to restart the computer to get back the connection. is there anything i can do? [17:51] mlLKX: no. geometry=WIDTHxHEIGHT iirc. check the man page if that doesn't work [17:52] jgedeon: jrib: both the things given by you also show the deinstall ones, not just the install ones [17:53] shirish: aptitude doesn't [17:53] I'm trying to install ubuntu from the alternate iso - it gets to 'select and install software' and just hangs at 6%, while the cd-rom drive constantly makes noise [17:54] shirish: and just pipe to grep -v '^rc' if you want to use the dpkg one without the packages that still have config files [17:54] my first thought was a problem with the cd itself - but i verified the cd and it tests fine [17:54] anyone have any ideas? [17:54] shirish, in terminal type dpkg --get-selections | grep install >> textfileofinstalledsoftware and then look at that file. [17:55] i wonder if since the base system installed - i can boot from the hd and get whatever else i need manually. .. (i'm pretty new to linux. . .) [17:55] would it be as simple as say.. apt-get install gnome? [17:55] and then whatever other software i want? [17:55] ubuntu-desktop jesse [17:55] jesse: I wouldn't trust that :/ [17:56] bazhang: what do you mean? [17:56] hey! [17:56] folks, anyone use Tilda? [17:56] hi, i'm just getting things the way i like them with a new install, and one thing I notice is that when i turn the volume knob on my keyboard, the volume icon appears on screen and appears to change, but the volume stays at the same level... [17:56] bazhang: do you mean i can apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [17:56] jrib, yikes! my terminal got stuck in an infinite loop [17:56] I need to know if it is possible to have it grab focus automatically when you press the shortcut to display the tilda console [17:56] please! [17:56] jrib, lol [17:56] jesse, that would be if you installed with minimal installer or alternate, expert mode; hanging at 6% would fail [17:57] mlLKX: heh, what did you run? [17:57] jgedeon: on my machine even after doing that i still get the deinstalled packages as well. [17:57] FFighter: pretty sure that's an option [17:57] Greetings, ubuntu mavens. I have a version of darkice (streaming audio server utility) on my box that I compiled to support mp3's (lots of my friends are too lazy / non-computer-literate to get non-mp3 streams to work ) and every time I get a list of updates, my machine wants to install the same version of darkice from ubuntu's repository. [17:57] is there any way to mask that package from being upgraded? [17:57] shirish, are you adding the | grep install? [17:57] activate tilda and right click (IIRC) to set preferences [17:57] jrib, i ran a custom command from current profile > title and commands [17:57] bazhang: i did use the alternate - so i'll give that a shot [17:57] jrib, i finally caught it, but oh man [17:57] im getting error 800 from connecting to my vpn (ubuntu hosts the pptpd) on winxp... ive restarted pptpd on the vpn box, so i dont understand whats going on [17:58] jgedeon: yes, I did the | grep install [17:58] Hello all. Do someone know how to encode passwords for /etc/shadow. I've a few hundred users and a script to add them. But I don't know how to encode the passwords. Seems that nor md5(), nor crypt(), nor sha1() do the job. Any answer? [17:58] yeah the installer tells me the installation step failed - the step being select and install software [17:58] can't find it [17:58] the option [17:58] jesse, if it is hanging then it likely will fail [17:58] is that really mostly ubuntu-desktop that it tried to install? [17:58] I NEED HELP:( [17:58] yves_: run the command "pwconv" without the quotes [17:58] I'm doing it here and | grep install only shows the installed an not the deinstalled if I want the deinstalled the I | grep deinstall [17:58] caps kevink23 [17:58] jgedeon: I don't remember but there is a utility which does exactly the same [17:59] bazhang, wanna help me?:) [17:59] jrib, can geometry set the position too? [17:59] jgedeon: what I'm trying to achieve here, but unfortunately I don't remember the utility's name [17:59] oh but maybe the bootloader isn't installed yet. . . [17:59] shirish, I don't know of one I use mainly CLI [17:59] people tell me to delelte a computer from my /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts file but it all looks like gibberish [17:59] kevink23, ask the channel and if someone knows they will answer [17:59] jgedeon: its CLI based only [17:59] mlLKX: yep, here: [=][{xX}][{+-}{+-}] [17:59] how do i know which host to delete [17:59] or what it all means ? [17:59] dVs--: the error tells you the line number [18:00] jrib, with all those brackets!? [18:00] ok let me check thankx [18:00] dVs--: you can also use ssh-keygen, but you'll have to read the manual for the switch [18:00] does any one know why firefox says i dont have the flash player installed, when i do! [18:00] is nvidia geforce 8400gs supported well for linux [18:00] jrib, is that bash syntax? [18:00] ?? [18:00] !nvidia [18:00] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [18:00] mlLKX: nah, that's just telling you it's optional. Here is an example: 100x100+0+0 [18:00] oh right right [18:00] k ty [18:00] @qfour20 thanks for the answer. The passwords are not in my /etc/passwd file. Just in a CSV. man page talks about conversion of /etc/passwd. Am I false? [18:00] bazhang: is it normal for the installer to not work on some systems? [18:01] hey all, I need some help getting my wireless internet going on a hp dv6000 [18:01] i got absolutley no wireless options at all [18:01] jesse, did you md5 the iso and do a disk integrity check after burning at very low speed [18:01]  is nvidia geforce 8400gs supported well for linux [18:01] akk, D3B14N , I found a way to make it "work", I have to put mem=2900M in the grub command line, but all I have now is just a blank-ish screen [18:01] ?? [18:01] yves_: you're right, but it can also be invoked to process a password sent to it as an argument [18:01] Brinkhurst, what is the problem? that is the same system I am on now. [18:02] @qfour20 I'll have a look. Thanks a lot. [18:02] !pm | dVs-- [18:02] dVs--: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [18:02] yves_: I'm sorry, that's wrong [18:02] bazhang: i did not md5, i burned probably too fast from osx, but i did check the integrity from the utility on the disc itself. . . is the fact that it checks ok not really trustable? [18:02] yves_: I just looked at the man page. No such functionality. [18:02] Hello, i have windows and ubuntu dual boot on grub and now i want to install IntrepidIbex alpha via wubi will that be recognised by grub automagically? [18:03] Fujisan, that is in #ubuntu+1 [18:03] yves_: have you considered writing a script to pull from your csv file and execute "useradd" instead? [18:03] is nvidia geforce 8400gs supported well for linux [18:03] jgedeon: i am running ubuntu 8.04 LTS on a 64-bit hp and I have no options for wireless networking and ubuntu cannot find my broadcom wireless device [18:03] the error said known_hosts:2 so i am asuming its line two i should delete but i cant tell where one line ends and the next begins [18:03] jgedeon: either that or it just wont run [18:03] dVs--: what editor are you using? [18:04] gedit [18:04] jgedeon: I also have no device manager listed in preferences or administration [18:04] dVs--: turn on line numbers in edit -> preferences [18:04] jesse, you may try burning it again; this is to install on intel mac? [18:04] Brinkhurst, It should be an intel Prowireless [18:04] @qfour20 I use the "-p password" option in the useradd command. So I have to encrypt the passwd first. Isn't it? [18:04] no [18:05] bazhang: no - i'm just installing on an old dell - i'll try burning again - my standard iso hangs as well though - which seems suspcious. though maybe they both burned poorly [18:05] Brinkhurst, check your lspci and pastebin what is outputs. [18:05] jgedeon: im running a first generation hp dv6000 with amd 64 and broadcom wireless chipset [18:05] jrib thankx man [18:05] OK. [18:05] Hold on. [18:06] yves_: per the man page of useradd, -p is supplied as the output of crypt run against the password. I don't think that's how it's stored in shadow, but that's the argument it's expecting. [18:06] Brinkhurst, Here is what should work for you. http://penkin.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/ubuntu-804-broadcom-wireless/ [18:07] everytime i run sudo it says sudo: unable to resolve host [18:07] how do i run a python script from terminal [18:07] @qfour20 I did just try to "cryp()" the passwords and to look at the result. Never tried it in my script. Here is a job for me; I'll give a try. Thanks one more time. [18:07] user01_: pastebin the contents of /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts [18:07] now is there a way to connect to that computer using nautilis ? [18:08] jgedeon: i only have wireless internet Im currently running windows [18:08] user01, how are you running it? with a command after it? [18:08] SuperMario: python /path/to/script [18:08] OH... [18:08] anytime, yves_ [18:08] how do I grab the source of a package? [18:08] that wont work coz you need internet to run that command [18:08] !source > danbh_intrepid [18:08] danbh_intrepid, please see my private message [18:08] Brinkhurst, I'm not sure the build-essentials are on the CD or not.. You could try. But you could burn the tar.gz file to cd and cp it over. [18:09] jrib: thanks [18:09] okay, if what do i need to change in the commands if I use the CD approach [18:09] jrib: the name of it is main.py so should i type "python /path/to/main.py/"? [18:09] is there a way to use nautilis to connect to the other computer on my lan ? [18:10] what do you do when you find that a notebook's internal keyboard doesn't work? (nec 6500, first install of ubuntu) [18:10] dVs--: what type of host is the other computer? windows? mac? linux? etc. [18:10] Brinkhurst, I just checked it doesn't look like build-essentials are on the CD. no way to plug in with a CAT cable? [18:11] jgedeon: CAT cable? [18:11] to plug into your network. [18:11] i'm going to buy a laptop, witch should i by for using ubuntu? [18:11] Is it possible to remove orphaned packages that were only installed due to being dependancies for another package, which has now been removed anyway, with APT? [18:11] qfour20 its ubuntu [18:11] Like emerge --depclean [18:11] deepfriedsquirre: apt-get autoremove [18:12] jgedeon: could work [18:12] danbh_intrepid: Yay, thank you! [18:12] dVs--: sweet. access it by typing the following into the location bar (shows the path) username@hostname:/path/to/files [18:12] deepfriedsquirre: works for anything installed after the initial install [18:12] Hmm... [18:12] That ddin't work :-( [18:12] Brinkhurst, if you plug it into your router you should have internet and be able to do all the commands. [18:12] jgedeon: does it help if i tell you that ubuntu is installed on an external hard drive and on a dual boot setup [18:13] Though I may have installed them with aptitude or synaptic [18:13] jgedeon: kool thanks === niki77 is now known as nikola77 [18:13] I dont have a location bar .. [18:13] Brinkhurst, no. [18:13] deepfriedsquirre: what are you running, vanilla ubuntu? [18:13] jgedeon: np thanks for the help [18:13] BRB [18:13] nm [18:13] is there any laptop that is design to run linux (ubuntu)? [18:13] dVs--: hmmm... let me take a peek at nautilus, then [18:13] danbh_intrepid: xubuntu with ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop installed [18:14] penis [18:14] penis [18:14] penis [18:14] baseballer790[Np: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:14] hyi [18:14] deepfriedsquirre: wow, thats everything. go for gtkorphan [18:14] =) [18:14] dVs--: under the "go" menu, there's a "Location" option. Type that same syntax in there and it should get you there. [18:14] penis [18:14] penis [18:14] penis [18:14] baseballer790[Np: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:14] yeah i saw it [18:14] it say it cant handle that type of address [18:15] user01_: what does the command 'hostname' return? [18:15]  danbh_intrepid: cheers [18:15] Is the alternate iso ALWAYS more likely to work on a problem system? I'm trying to avoid burning 2 discs. . . [18:15] i just installed samba, it freezes on start... any thoughts? [18:15] i thought i had it working before there was an option under 'places' but i no longer see that option [18:15] jrib, computername [18:15] virtualroadside: what do you mena it freezes on start? there is nothign to start [18:15]  danbh_intrepid: I only seem to have 2 orphaned packages, even though I removed ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop. [18:16] user01_: add " computername" to the end of the second line in your /etc/hosts (127.0.1.1 ...). Use recovery mode from the grub menu and nano to do so [18:16] dVs--: AHA! use the syntax: ssh://user@host:/path/to/files [18:16] (in the location bar) [18:16] deepfriedsquirre: you need to understand how to use gtkorphan, and be careful [18:16] ah k [18:16] virtualroadside: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [18:16] histo: yes, i'm aware of that, which is why im confused. [18:17] Setting up samba (3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.5) ... [18:17] * Starting Samba daemons [18:17] deepfriedsquirre: there is an option that you need to check, but once you check that, it lets you removing anything and everything [18:17] virtualroadside well then my question is what exactly is freezing [18:17] mine too :) [18:17] virtualroadside: you need to elaborate. [18:17] wow [18:17] i install the package [18:17] k [18:17] it tries to start the daemons [18:18] it sits there [18:18] "it" being the package manager [18:18] danbh_intrepid: I think I'll do a fresh install - would it be sane to copy over /var/cache/apt/archives/* over? === iPWN3D is now known as Poo [18:18] virtualroadside: okay have you checked syslog? [18:18] nothing there [18:18] And will that probably contain every package I've ever downloaded, or will it only contain some? [18:18] virtualroadside: or top to see if its doing anything. [18:18] yeah, thats the weird part [18:18] !tab | virtualroadside [18:18] virtualroadside: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [18:18] smbd and nmbd are both running [18:19] if the /etc/network/interfaces is configured correctly with static ip and stuff and i still get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument" when trying to bring one of my three interfaces up, is it a driver issue? two other cards work fine with similar configs so I'm starting to think my configuration isn't the problem [18:19] jrib, ok thanks [18:19] deepfriedsquirre: maybe, I don't know, what are you trying to get to? xubuntu? [18:20] I think I'll go for Ubuntu, since that's the one with the most work done to it. [18:20] is there like a troubleshooting guide for not getting your ethernet card up?

Currently eth0 is being used over eth1 but i would like it to be vice-versa [18:21] andycas: useless snarky answer: swap the cables [18:21] There was a little bump on the road, though: I couldn't do anything on my machine on the first boots until I ssh'ed in from another machine and set xorg.conf to use driver "nv" instead of "nvidia". [18:22] andycas: you can always disable it :D [18:22] Once I got Xorg running, the nvidia driver could be installed by the restricted drivers tray icon. [18:22] andycas: but do what qfour20 said, not to be snarky though [18:22] where do i check the install path of my most recent installed program? [18:22] andycas: You can use udev to rename the interfaces (to something entirely different than eth*).

To be honest, I really don't know where to go from here. [18:25] @qfour20 Thanks anyway... [18:25] yves_: let's look at the "adduser" program instead of "useradd" [18:25] hi #ubuntu ... i have an intermittent problem where audio routing messes up and i can't use any audio program (rhythmbox, amarok, vlc, etc).. they just lock up.. any way to restart the appropriate service ? [18:26] Does anyone where I could get the old Firefox version 2???? [18:26] @qfour20 I'm going to have a look. Have a good evening (it's evening here) [18:26] yves_: maybe do a "adduser" to create the user and group memberships, then an explicit "passwd" for that user as root? [18:26] StepNjump: did you search synaptic? [18:26] d3d, try "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart" [18:26] d3d: pulseaudio -k will kill the sound daemon [18:26] eh.. i want to know what is the default hot key of locking screen? and any way to change it?

[18:28] user01_ webcam support sucks, even if you get a supported one [18:28] d3d, try "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" if restarting pulseaudio didn't help [18:28] d3d, also, close firefox [18:29] danbh_intrepid, why is that^ [18:29] hello, how to load all system variables once connected to a ubuntu shell? cause now i'm using PLINK (putty link) and once i'm in and execute a command (to start tomcat) it claims JAVA_HOME is not set. If i connect manually, JAVA_HOME is set indeed. How to load the system variables? [18:29] Hattori: not sure what you're asking, but all system variables should already be there once you log in. type in: env and take a look at what vars are set [18:29] Hey all, I was wondering if its possible to disable bash's attepts at scanning the repos or what ever its doing to find commands [18:30] Like if you type in zsh, it wont just say command not found, it will say you can dl it from blah blah [18:30] dashavoo, same problem [18:30] SilverDawn: get rid of command-not-found [18:30] What's the most private-tracker compliant bittorrent tracker? [18:30] d3d, can you describe the problem in a bit more detail? [18:30] qfour20: yes, if i connect with plink and then run the command (.startup.sh to start tomcat) it works, but when the command is executed by a script that runs plink and run the script, it doesn't work. it claims JAVA_HOME is not loaded [18:31] d3d, What are you doing when it happens? [18:31] Hattori: AHH [18:31] dashavoo, when i start programs like amarok or rhthtym box,if i try to start playing audio the app freezes up (it won't redraw) [18:31] Hattori: either you need to explicity set JAVA_HOME in your script [18:31] qfour20: so at the moment instead of running startup.sh i run a script that set java_home and then run the startup.sh [18:31] Hattori: or add it to .profile of the user executing the script [18:31] dashavoo, it normally works, i've seen this problem once before, i rebooted the box but would like a better solution [18:32] jrib yeah, i just did that, except now it just gives me errors on command not found for that peice of software, how do i make bash not even look for it [18:32] dashavoo, i could set up a vnc session for you if it helps [18:32] d3d: although pulseaudio is a promising concept it's still in its infancy causing trouble now and then. i finally took a mixed approach and use pulseaudio for gnome related stuff, bur use alsa directly by use of an .asoundrc for my media players [18:32] d3d, gimme a sec to see if it is similar to what happens to me, I don't usually use the apps you named [18:32] qfour20: ok, so i'm doing that yet.. but i'm conecting with plink with the same user i connect when i do that manually.. can't understand why it doesn't get the JAVA_HOME var [18:32] SilverDawn: weird, that's a bug then. edit /etc/bash* just grep for command-not-found in there [18:32] stefg, thanks for the info.. i'm trying to avoid editing config files [18:33] Hattori: is the JAVA_HOME var just set in your .profile, or is it exported? [18:33] let me see [18:33] SilverDawn: ah, try reloading your shell (start a new one) [18:33] Hattori: if the var is set, then it does not get inherited by other processes you start (scripts). If it is exported, then all child processes see that var. [18:33] d3d: search the forums for 'system wide eq' .. that led me to a thread with useful info on a good .asounrc [18:33] qfour20: hmm, where should .profile file supposed to be located? [18:34] should be in $HOME. [18:34] Hattori: for me it's /home/qfour20/.profile [18:34] qfour20: don't have any.. [18:34] Hattori: try putting it in there [18:34] thanks stefg, i will check into that, but since this has worked in the past, and i don't think i've updated since then, i'm hoping there's something i can kick to have it work without editing files [18:34] Hattori: sudo vi $HOME/.profile then add: export JAVA_HOME=/blah/blah [18:35] ok let me try. [18:35] Hattori: then su to yourself in that same shell and try again. [18:35] you can also . ./.profile to import into the current shell [18:35] hello all [18:35] Hattori: use d3d's method. it's cleaner to source your profile than restarting the shell :-) [18:36] what is the +e mode? :) [18:36] if the /etc/network/interfaces is configured correctly with static ip and stuff and i still get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument" when trying to bring one of my three interfaces up, is it a driver issue? two other cards work fine with similar configs so I'm starting to think my configuration isn't the problem [18:36] was just wondering if some1 could help me [18:36] ozanam: we're all here to help (or be helped). what's up? [18:37] I tried to install 8.10a5 but changed my mind to wait for the stable version. How do I find out which swap file is used for 8.04.1? [18:37] qfour20: i saved the .profile, so now if the ant script connect to the shell with plink should load .profile file before execute the .startup.sh? [18:37] Hattori: yes, I think so [18:37] d3d, I can get mpd to freeze on my computer due to pulseaudio issues (or more specifically firefox issues), but with rhythmbox the worst that happens is the music doesn't play, the rest of the interface works... afraid I can't be of much more help [18:37] let me see [18:37] jrib: thank you very much, it worked! [18:38] d3d, only thing I can suggest is make doubly sure that firefox is closed by doing "killall firefox" [18:38] Can Someone help me? I can see videos in ubuntu8.04... when I want to see a videos... all what I see is a black background with point red, include in Visualization, And I can see the Ubuntu grafic that suppose to see en the restart o shutdown? [18:38] dashavoo, i'll try that.. i guess it could be a mad plugin [18:38] madmartian: the swap partition is always the same for every distro [18:38] it is used by every distro [18:38] hey thanks gfour, i have a intel 2200bg wireless adapter and have it installed via ndiswrapper which appears to be working as i have a wireless option in the network mannager and ndiswrapper has found and the hardware aswel. only thing is i cant search for wireless networks its like the wireless isnt turned on.. and i cant figure out who to turn it on.. any help would be grea tthanks [18:39] is there a way to detect what apps are using audio ? [18:39] Hello, when I start ubuntu I get loads of errors about my USB ports, once they've passed and ubuntu is booted up, none of my usb devices work... (Also the sound played when the login is shown seems to hang, it's rather annoying) [18:39] madmartian: cat /etc/fstab | grep swap [18:39] Hi I need some help getting my sound to work, i have hardy. [18:39] making a shortcut with the command "cd /wanted/work/dir && bin-to-execute" fails, apparently, there is some problem with cd... but running the exact same line in konsole work as expected [18:40] im using a nx8220 laptop and it has a led button for the wireless but it only turns the bluetooth on and off [18:40] wats wrong CoolTrainer [18:40] my sound just doesn't work [18:40] wat sound card? [18:40] how can i add a few files ive edited, back into an initrd img ? === ewwe is now known as Life [18:41] hi! [18:41] ozanam: I'm not really sure, to be honest. When I need to mess with the wireless on my box I use "iwconfig" from the command line. There was a really nice graphic utility to do it, but it'll take me a minute to find the name of it. [18:41] intel 8201ca-ich3. Its in my ibmthinkpad t30.. I switched everything to ALSA but it didn't help === Life is now known as OfLife [18:41] ozanam: also, I don't have any wireless devices through ndiswrapper, so ymmv. [18:41] whats the gnome variant of konsole? if there is such thing [18:41] ok thaks gfour [18:42] mizipzor: gnome-terminal [18:42] tritium: thx [18:42] well i thinks its just the point of turnin on the wireles card [18:42] ozanam: found it. it's called "wlassistant" you would install it from the command line with: sudo apt-get install wlassistant [18:42] cooltrainer: do you mean 82801 [18:42] oh yea Sorry [18:42] lol [18:42] ozanam: when you run it, you need root privileges, so from a shell, it would be: sudo wlassistant [18:42] Can Someone help me? I can see videos in ubuntu8.04... when I want to see a videos... all what I see is a black background with point red, include in Visualization, And I can see the Ubuntu grafic that suppose to see en the restart o shutdown? [18:43] qfour20: no, same error :( [18:43] ozanam: if you're making a desktop shortcut for it, you would want to use gksudo [18:43] yea kool its its downloadin now thanks [18:43] Hattori: hmmmm. can you get whatever it is that's initiating the plink to your ubuntu box to issue the command "env" and dump it to a file somewhere? [18:43] Hattori: let's find out what vars are set and what's not [18:43] CoolTrainer_Doug: have u tried using a mixer to raise the volumes [18:44] i don't like the default behaviour after switching user: when i login i can see the "turn off" applet [18:44] My sound just stopped working. I think it happened after I used gtpkod, but really that's just a guess. In the microphone pane everything is on with the volume turned up, nothing muted. But when I watch youtube or skype, no sound. [18:44] I have not, whats the terminal line to get to the mixer? [18:44] alsamixer === ay^_ is now known as ay^ === Poo is now known as WastePotato [18:44] qfour: also on my actuall desktop when i run ndiswrapper its only flashes for a second and shuts down and ideas why reinstalling doesnt help [18:45] maniheer: was that directed at me? [18:45] I ran that in terminal and it says my volume is up [18:45] no sorry thomashartman [18:46] ozanam: not 100% sure, but I've got a few ideas. From the command line, can you run "iwconfig" Take the output and post it somewhere like pastebin.ca and put a link in here to it so we can read it? [18:46] Is there any alternative to DeVeDe to burn Mpeg/Avi to DVD Video? [18:46] CoolTrainer: all of them? [18:47] Master, Master M, and PCM are all up, the rest are down [18:47] CoolTrainer: put some music on and raise each one until u hear it [18:47] might work [18:47] ozanam: I use wpa_supplicant [18:48] how do I raise my volume? I can't find the mixer [18:48] replaced nautilus with thunar. thunar is definitely nicer imo, except it doesn't handle usb drive transfers as good. [18:48] wpa_supplicant? [18:48] I'm gon,na give this another shot... [18:48] dont u have the gnome volume applet?

[19:14] notwist: does it have a line for eth3 [19:14] actionparsnip: ok-so i won't be able to emulate it or i won't be able to boot into vista? [19:14] actionparsnip: how do i make an image? [19:14] naxa: they would not get there unless you or a program you ran put them there [19:14] ActionParsnip: yeah. it says link up [19:14] judgegeo I might be able to help [19:14] Scunizi: how do i find gparted in gutsy? i was looking earlier but couldnt seem to find it [19:14] Azazel-A2, any help would be appreciated [19:14] millertime_018: you can emulate it as you say but you will have another install of vista on your system in an image file [19:14] CAn anyone help me with grafix drivers?

[19:15] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44263/ [19:16] Azazel-A2, I might have fixed it. It was a problem with the router configuration. [19:16] millertime_018: its part of the software, yu can have a static image or a dynamic one which will grow as your install grows === any is now known as Laxigue [19:16] naxa: are you looking at /etc/apt/sources.list directly? [19:16] jrib, and there is no hardy. however my update program downloads from the security.ubuntu..../main/...., not any else... [19:16] jrib, not yet but i will now [19:16] kewl. the nmap site is very helpful for those kind of problems good luck! [19:16] notwist: ok so you have 4 NICs?

I think I've giving you the wrong info, its the eth3 that doesnt work [19:17] Scunizi: nope still nothing :( [19:17] Saloomy: when grub is offered press esc and choose fix xorg [19:17] Azazel-A2, go on [19:17] !dvd > duncanator [19:17] duncanator, please see my private message [19:17] sudo -s [19:17] ActionParsnip: i just need to fix the interfaces file. hold on [19:17] irc.metalspirit.net [19:17] Saloomy: id suggest using envyng-gtk [19:17] can i restart sound service [19:17] notwist: lets see if this fixes it [19:17] thanks [19:17] jack__: nope.. to change a partition it has to be unmounted. Weird that it doesn't detect.. I'll try mine.. it almost the same configuration.. xp/Hardy [19:17] jrib, now i just took a look directly, and all gutsy lines are #-ed out [19:17] Azazel-A2, and now? [19:18] can i restart sound service without restarting the system [19:18] Scunizi: when i put in sudo fdisk /dev/sda, i get this [19:18] then type lspci and see if you can get the model and number, version and mfg for sound card [19:18] what are the system requrements for Xupuntu Hardy? [19:18] jrib, shouldn't i delete these? i almost added these to the sources in the manager [19:18] What command can you run to determine the resolution of your screen? [19:18] Dabbu, if u use hardy sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart [19:18] Or where can I find it? [19:18] actionparsnip: ok-i have vista already installed. i am running qemu launcher. how do i make a vista image? one type of the following images: qcow2, empty raw, qcow2 from a raw image, qcow2 image from a vmware image, qcow2 image from a qcow image [19:18] then I take that info to google and come back in a few with some suggetions. [19:18] jrib, i mean accidentally, becouse there was no description about what is this only that these are "important security updates" [19:18] Azazel-A2, Okay hang on. Thanks [19:18] millertime_018: as far as I know yu cant do anything with your vista install. You can only make a new one from scratch [19:18] jack__: do you only have one drive? [19:19] ActionParinsnip: Thanks! Ill try that. [19:19] hello. can someone help me with ethernet settings in ubuntu?

[19:32] xerxes1979: http://www.buildyourown.org.uk/pc-installing/ubuntu/ [19:32] madmartian, ^^ [19:32] cody: edit the file in the terminal [19:32] Azazel-A2, no output [19:32] xerxes1979: its your money dude, theres always an alternative [19:32] cody, edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [19:33] MrKennie - that's going to be a bit difficult, but i think i can pull it off. i only have this one machine, dual booting. so i need to reboot, get into linux, fetch the ipconfig, reboot to windows, etc. i don't mind doing that, but it's going to take a while. is that ok? :) [19:33] won't be. reboot. and come back in and let me know what happened. if this doesn't fix it the we have to look at more complicated methods, this is a hail mary play to force load the driver [19:33] bobertdos: that file gets wiped out I believe everytime dhclient starts up [19:33] Azazel-A2, okay many thanks. I shall return shortly. [19:33] ActionParsnip, I have looked into a lot very deeply. There is no alternative for MS Office2007 in Finance degree. Save your selves. Its too late for me :( I am lost to the dark side for ever [19:33] cody, theres a prepend directive that lets u prepend the nameservers that u get from dhcp with your own [19:33] someone knows what is the port 30627 for? [19:33] cody, and i think supersede domain-name lets u change the domain [19:33] RoMail cant type fast but disconnect the internal drive connect the usb drive boot and install andso oncould do it [19:33] enhazed: is this the only machine on your lan? [19:34] xerxes1979: then you may have to run windows if it doesnt run and you need it that bad [19:34] jochmen: how to disconnect the internal HDD, its a laptop ? [19:34] MrKennie, there are other machines in the network, but none that i have access to, unfortunately [19:34] i'll try though [19:34] ActionParsnip, I think I am gonna download a linux flavor and try [19:34] i'll be right back with the settings :) [19:35] If it runs on Ubuntu I am pretty well off [19:35] RoMail hmm disable in bios, why not dualboot [19:35] ? [19:35] xerxes19tru but its a bit pricey for my boots [19:35] enhazed: just one thing, have you added your nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf? [19:35] i lost DATA in duelboot, so i am afraid :) [19:35] $40 is a steal [19:35] does anyone know if it is possible to run Leopard virtualy on Ubuntu?

[20:06] I'm having troubles with codecs... which one would you need to play AVI's right? I can open em, but not very well. VLC plays them without sound, and mplayer/totem is reeaaalllyyy slow. [20:07] might conflict [20:07] zhaozhou: I use realplay [20:07] unop, any idea? [20:07] IndyGunFreak, does this mean I'm screwed? =/ [20:07] Flannel: will the livecd boot on a mactel? if so.. i could test in one [20:07] i am having an error in totem while playing a video this is the error " could not demultiplex stream" [20:07] kmplayer is also nice. both apt-gettable.

I rebooted and installed, don't recall hearing anything. [20:08] thomashartman1, Hm, realplayer is not installable. [20:08] Azazel-A2: i had him add that line, but model=acer(since that worked for my device) [20:09] zhaozhou: that one maybe you have to compile from source [20:09] but should be easy [20:09] indy, have him remove my line right before it [20:09] just go to the realplay website, follow the instructions [20:09] been a while since I did that [20:09] thomashartman1, have to be a better way then that. [20:09] Azazel-A2: Judgegeo remove that line that Azazel-A2 told you to add before, and just leave the line i gave yo uthere, and restart [20:09] thomashartman1, Do not like to compile anything in ubuntu, only gives me trouble. [20:09] jesse: did you trie this cd's on other hardware? [20:09] or maybe they have an ubuntu package/instructions there.. it was really easy.

[20:10] MrKennie - this is my first time on linux, i have no idea what to do, i'm just using my intuition. completely at your mercy here :) [20:10] indy, I think you got right idea. boot of live cd and if it works figure out the different between alsa-base files on ram drive and hard drive [20:10] jesse: is that right, you tried the live cd cause of testing ubuntu? an installation ends without message? [20:11] !blacklist [20:11] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [20:11] IndyGunFreal, Okay It now reads; # Ubuntu #62691, enable MPU for snd-cmipci options snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388 options snd-hda-intel model=acer [20:11] Ubuntu bug 62691 in alsa-driver "enable MPU on CMI cards (snd-cmipci)" [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/62691 [20:11] jesse: which country you are from?

[20:11] Judgegeo: ok, try changing Acer to 3stack [20:11] enhazed: that should in theory work but I wonder if that's why net manager can't set it either. [20:12] IndyGunFreak, it was stack3 before though? [20:12] 3 stack doesn't work thats the line I gave him [20:12] MrKennie - is there anything else i could do? [20:12] oh ok [20:12] enhazed: one sec [20:12] ortsvorsteher: i'm am in the usa, i tried the live cd and standard iso installation first, both hung. then i tried two different burned copies of the alternate iso, and installation fails at various points with each. [20:12] ok [20:12] IndyGunFreak, okay i'll restart. [20:12] I'm having a heck of a time with mounting my HD's. can anyone help me out? [20:12] there are 4 different options for that driver, acer 3stack and two more let me get them from a book marked page from yesterday [20:13] mn: Mmmm, packages.ubuntu.com is having problems right now. Mind pastebinning the output of this: dpkg -L libdvdread3 [20:13] i am having an error in totem while playing a video this is the error " could not demultiplex stream" [20:13] jesse: try wiki.ubuntu.com and search there for hardware blacklist/whitelist [20:14] indy if acer gave that error message that was better than what he had before. just missing components [20:14] Flannel: sure, just a sec [20:14] anybody use torrentflux? I've just installed it, and trying to log in, but cant, user\pass is okay, after clicking login it just gives me back the login screen with no errors no nothing... [20:14] enhazed: while MrKennie is thinking try "sudo ifconfig eth0 up", just to see the output, should change nothing [20:14] oh they other options where toshiba and dell I think. I am sure about toshiba though [20:15] guntbert , allright, will do [20:15] jesse: which hardware do you use? older one? [20:15] IndyGunFreak, okay. Let me try a file now.

[20:18] alright, that page is wrong apparently. Try this instead: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [20:18] AZkI'm having troubles with codecs... which one would you need to play AVI's right? I can open em, but not very well. VLC plays them without sound, and mplayer/totem is reeaaalllyyy slow. [20:18] i cant mount the directory on the other machine [20:18] guntbert: hense the no such process thing [20:18] jesse: yes, this is possible. did you read the minimum requirements for an installation? [20:18] judgegeo: issue, getting the right option on that line should ifx it [20:18] Uhrm... enter button is too close... [20:18] mn: actually, its just outdated, see the new page: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html [20:18] winrid, use mount.cifs (with the right options) instead [20:18] unop, how? [20:19] mn: You were actually looking at the 6.06 version of that page [20:19] hi [20:19] Oh [20:19] Azazel-A2, so what do I need to do? Just keep changing the "brand" name? [20:19] winrid, the manpage describes the various options but ..

[20:20] :) [20:20] or anyone know where i can find some of those guys? [20:20] winrid, or wait .. are you mounting an NFS export? [20:20] MrKennie: the lines which are here are ok, but default gw is missing [20:20] ortsvorsteher: the minumum requirements are only 64mb ram... but do you recommend xubuntu instead?

[20:21] no prob. sudo (or as indy like gksudo) gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [20:21] i found it [20:21] guntbert: what I mean is his subnet mask is 24 so technically his gateway is on another network [20:21] nfs [20:21] jesse: i have an workstation with 512mb ram and an 1,6ghz cpu, i run there xubuntu, it runs very well [20:21] Flannel: It's now playing my DVD in Spanish by default... [20:21] Azazel-A2, Oh, nevermind. I didnt know the terminal had memory after a reset. All I had to do was press Up [20:21] MrKennie: I look again, sec [20:21] ortsvorsteher: do i need a different iso for xubunutu? [20:21] Azazel-A2: well, you should use gksudo.. tis n ot cuz i like it..lol [20:21] ortsvorsteher: nothing that could help me [20:21] Well, italian [20:21] !gksudo | Azazel-A2 [20:21] Azazel-A2: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:21] mn: p4, 2.4ghz, 256mb ram [20:21] mn: You were looking to learn another language, right? I have no idea.

[20:24] hmm [20:24] Leefmc: that's a crash thing. So, your error that caused the error window also causes a crash, or something similar. [20:24] enhazed: thats ok for now, I'm still thinking [20:24] !firestarter [20:24] enhazed: you still there? [20:24] 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).

Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers.

What username/pwd does it create? [20:31] now that I have vlc, will I be able to do the same things if I uninstall Totem? [20:31] RYknow: The easiest area to share is your home directory, because the Samba config file already has that templated. For Ubuntu to Ubuntu sharing, you might also need NFS. [20:31] The most important is the line: [20:31] options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo [20:31] Excert from page [20:31] could anyone help me i'm trying to install gtk2hack (nethack) but i just can't figure out how to install it, im getting alot of errors [20:31] but the debug output does not show what -- it just says "DEBUG: resolver (libnewt0.52): package does not exist (ignored) [20:32] Azazel-A2, so just add that line? Nothing else? [20:32] guntbert - yes, of course. no errors, but 0% on everything [20:32] try that option. it also says the volume will be all the way down after you reoot. change the snd-hda-intel model= to be that model. this is for yyou laptop model specifically so I hold high hopes it will work [20:32] in main/n/newt/ i can see the package. [20:32] hi, do you guys think a spinrite like program for Linux would be a good idea ? [20:32] sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [20:32] enhazed: lets start at the beginning, from your windows machine, ping the ubuntu machine [20:33] Azazel-A2/IndyGunFreak - If this work's I owe you a beer or two =P [20:33] guntbert - ok [20:33] guntbert: somehow you will need to restart networking so probably the easiest way is to reboot to make sure routing is cleared up etc. [20:33] Azazel-A2: thats interesting, hard to understand why it doesn't work w/ hardy though [20:33] Judgegeo: eh, i' dont drink.. :) [20:33] er enhazed sorry [20:33] neither do I lmao [20:33] mn: I just got back to my computer. What is it you're needing to do in VLC? [20:33] IndyGunFreak, How about a Coke Zero then? :P [20:33] guntbert - well, it worked, pinged just fine [20:33] Judgegeo: ehe..coke zero i repulsive, i'll just take a water..lol [20:33] Lemme ask the pros.. Will switching my desktop from Gnome to Fluxbox enhance my performance?? [20:34] Azazel-A2, Okay going to restart [20:34] shey: i would say almost definitely [20:34] k. [20:34] enhazed: you can now ping your gateway? [20:34] IndyGunFreak, okie dokie! [20:34] I love fluxbox, but I just dont want to deal with the issues if its not worth it. [20:34] MrKennie - i just pinged the linux machine from this windows machine and it pinged fine... [20:34] hi [20:34] bobertdos: I just installed VLC because totem was default playing my dvd in Italian so I want to know if I can get rid of Totem without sacrificing functionality to save disk space [20:34] hi [20:34] enhazed: good, now please (still on windows): "tracert netzmafia.de", pastebin the output [20:35] sudo apt-get me a life. [20:35] thanks. [20:35] guntbert will do [20:35] how can i see the installation procedure of a ubuntu package? i want to build a new version of a package, but i want to install it the same way ubuntu does. [20:35] the worst upgrade I ever had w/ ubuntu. gnome had a permission error the file permissions were wrong for the the gnome config file :( that sucked [20:35] i mean, there should be some install script or parameters [20:35] right? [20:35] thats was going to dapper drake from warty I think [20:35] MrKennie: I try to avoid rebooting, in linux it seldom helps [20:36] Demian: to see what's going on while installing just sudo apt-get install it and watch the output [20:36] guntbert: aye, it was meant for enhazed but still :) [20:36] mn: I think you can. It would just be a matter of uninstalling totem-xine or totem-gstreamer. Hopefully, it won't take any dependencies with it. [20:36] guntbert: easier than explaing what to type at this point [20:36] join [20:36] bobertdos: so VLC and totem do exactly the same things? [20:37] mn: i don't want to reinstall, i want to replace an existing package with a new version not available in ubuntu repo at this moment, so i'll build it by hand. [20:37] guntbert - http://paste.ubuntu.com/44302/ the traceroute [20:37] indy, has to call cable company yesterday for internet. whil on hold they have their trouble shooting techniques. no word of a lye. "If you use the Windows operating system, plese go to www.microsoft.com/.." routinely and install your secutiry updates. [20:37] had to call [20:37] just tried ubuntu yesterday for the first time and I LOVE IT!!!! [20:37] MrKennie: I didn't follow from the start, so I thought it never worked on ubuntu for him [20:37] Demian: oh [20:37] MrKennie - i tried rebooting several times, including since we started talking.. no effect [20:37] this is after 3.5 years of fedora [20:37] Azazel-A2/IndyGunFreak , SOUND LOW?! ARE YOU KIDDING. It blew my ears off with a hgih pitched scream. [20:37] mn: but i want to install it the same way ubuntu does, preserve paths and that [20:37] enhazed: I mean since changing the subnet mask [20:37] it worked! [20:37] ah [20:37] Azazel-A2/IndyGunFreak, Yea :P [20:37] hi, does anyone know if there is virtualbox-ose-modules package released for 2.6.27-2-generic ??? [20:37] Judgegeo: well, adjust yoru volume for that [20:38] question: how do you get a touchpad to drag by double-tap-and-hold? [20:38] Are there any applets that will put my firefox favorites onto the gnome panel? [20:38] mn: Well, they're both media players, but the main difference is that Totem uses all the external codecs and VLC uses mostly internal ones (they're hard linked to the progran). [20:38] The volume in my ubuntu machine is very low, I have an acer aspire 1640, and yes the volume mixer is at maximum, any idea???? thanks [20:38] Azazel-A2/IndyGunFreak, seems to be lots of static? Just adjust the controls? [20:38] http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg856371.html judgegeo, write that url down on a card and put it in computer stuff somewhere for future refernce [20:38] enhazed: you can verify the settings have applied by doing ifconfig and route -n should show the default gw [20:38] Judgegeo: you can try that... see if it helps [20:38] bobertdos: so which do you think is better? [20:39] MrKennie, ok, i'll do those again [20:39] or print page and stick it in your computers box or something. that is where I got the eventual answeer [20:39] enhazed: still strange, please (still on windows) pastebin the output of route (I hope thats the correct name) [20:39] ok guys, have to go eat. later [20:39] Azazel-A2/IndyGunFreak, thank you very very much you two. Anything I can do to say thank you? [20:39] enhazed: if you're in windows route print should work [20:39] Judgegeo: lol, na..

VLC tends to be a little easier to maintain exactly BECAUSE it uses hard-linked codecs. [20:40] question: how do you get a touchpad to drag by double-tap-and-hold?

[20:41] all details there [20:41] ya ethernet [20:41] MrKennie: I knew I forgot something :) [20:41] guntbert: :) [20:41] I checked this also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=437982 [20:41] guntbert - http://paste.ubuntu.com/44304/plain/ [20:42] realtek network card trouble shoot [20:42] anybody use torrentflux? I've just installed it, and trying to log in, but cant, user\pass is okay, after clicking login it just gives me back the login screen with no errors no nothing... [20:42] marie_ux:: By "volume mixer" do you mean volume control, or alsamixer? I would run alsamixer in the terminal and check the levels there. [20:42] what does ubuntu configure as the root password after install? [20:42] sunil_: you are using a router so you're wireless, right? [20:42] !root | yates [20:42] yates: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:42] !rootsudo > yates [20:42] yates, please see my private message [20:42] yates: nothing [20:42] Why, while using virtualbox (windows XP), I need to stop the firewall (firestarter) in order to connect to a shared folder (samba)? [20:42] alsamixer, i run alsamixer and is at max level [20:43] !root | yates [20:43] hi every1! could any1 give me a few quick pointers on what I should watch out for (security-wise) with my server. I just put it in the DMZ of my router so I really want to make sure the firewall (ufw) is configured correctly that I dont have some holes. At the moment I have SSH, BT, webmin and samba ports open (with samba protected with a strong pw). Sure I have to lock it down a bit more before I can sleep without worr [20:43] . [20:44] sunil try in firefox, edit>preference>advance>network>settings and tick the auto-detect [20:44] guntbert: is it me or is there another gateway in there? [20:44] sunil_: for wireless cards you should get ndiswrapper [20:44] for the drivers [20:44] hey! 0% [Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.31)] what is up with this? [20:44] bobertdos: yep i check it again, alsamixer at maximum level [20:44] no it is not wireless card [20:44] it is wired [20:44] enhazed: it seems, the windows machine is on a different subnet, but I have to sort things out again, sec [20:45] hi! my gdmsetup is dying. i cannot do anything becouse it crashes almost immediately! if i go to terminal and do sudo gdmsetup i get someting like this: "gdmsetup[6259]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_get_locale_string: assertion `key_file != NULL' failed" many times!then: segmentation fault!!! what should i do???

[20:46] enhazed: you can safely change the subnet back to what it was now [20:46] hi. i have created an installer on a stick from the alternate iso loosely based on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuServerFlashDriveInstaller and now it complains at the install the base system step that it can't determine the release. where does it try finding the release? how can I debug this?

Are you using Alsa or Pulse? You may want to try the oppositie and see if that makdes a difference......... [20:46] . [20:46] bobertdos: im using alsa, how can i change to pulse??? [20:47] hmmm.. [20:47] Can someone help me out with my Wireless card setup please ? [20:47] Are the repos down or something? [20:47] Anyone know how to get SD slot working under 8.04?

I seem to not be able to switch my sessions. [20:48] sunil_:hello [20:48] bobertos: yes im using hardy, should i remove the alsa firts? [20:48] mn, I would like to add my Wireless Network but I cant somehow. [20:48] any help? [20:48] marie_ux: Don't bother, it's a lot more trouble than its worth. [20:48] sunil_: im trying to find something online [20:49] waiting for your reply, mw [20:49] mn sorry [20:49] xerxes1358: so you are connected to the internet on this computer now or you are connected on a different one? [20:49] same computer mn [20:49] guntbert & MrKennie - http://paste.ubuntu.com/44307/plain/ - this is all that was in my terminal window, the last commands given a minute ago [20:49] sunil_: it's alright :) [20:49] guntbert: perhaps a route print on his machine in doze will help? [20:49] hope it can help... [20:49] i have to reboot for ubuntu [20:49] thanks [20:50] i connect to internet using my USB DSL Modem using wvdial but when connection is slow the connection will disconnect and reconnect in interval of 10-20 sec and i am not able to do anything like browsing or chatting.......any help? [20:50] mn, I am using the cable now. [20:50] hoşçakalın / bye [20:50] MrKennie: in doze? [20:50] guntbert: I assume he is running windows [20:50] anyone here run QNX the rtos in linux? [20:50] how do i start it? [20:50] xerxes1358: do you have ndiswrapper installed or a native linux driver for wireless? [20:51] mn, absolutely new to linux/ubuntu [20:51] enhazed: you are dual booting right? [20:51] mn, no I just finished install [20:51] MrKennie yes [20:51] xerxes1358: ok sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper in terminal [20:51] Can someone assist me with session problems? I installed Fluxbox, and just as I thought i cannot seem to get the login window to give me the menu to switch the session. [20:51] ndiswrapper-commons [20:51] enhazed: sorry to be a pain, can you boot into windows and pastebin route print [20:51] sure [20:52] not at all a pain, thank you very much for helping! :) [20:52] i'll be right back [20:52] enhazed: ok [20:52] guntbert: I think we need to find the gateway to the network he needs a route to [20:52] bobertdos: with pulse its d same, any other idea??? [20:52] xerxes1358: nevermind, download ndiswrapper from sourceforge [20:52] xerxes1358: In addition to ndiswrapper, like mn suggests, I also recommend ndisgtk. Having the graphical interface majorly cuts down on complexity. [20:52] should be something with d drivers??? [20:53] mn, bobertdos however note that the previous LiveCD from Ubuntu supported my wifi! just fine. [20:53] hi folks, does anyone know where to get the plugin that allows gimp to open psd files? [20:53] not sure why it is not working now [20:53] MrKennie: thats right, I just got mixed up with two machines, one dual: where he was at the moment [20:53] guntbert - sorry about the confusion [20:53] ls [20:53] wow, my console fonts are freakin HUGE! [20:54] enhazed: not your fault :) [20:54] guntbert: can network manager handle additional routes? [20:54] xerxes1358: are you dual booting with win on another partition? [20:54] hey, if i have the dvd-iso local on my hdd, no dvd to record it to but would like to install it anyways.. using ubuntu now.. is this possible? [20:54] how i put my firewall off? [20:54] the linux machine is booting into windows now. when it starts up i'll get the route print [20:54] mn, no [20:54] sethz: did you install one? [20:54] sorry [20:55] xerxes1358: did you ever have win on this computer? [20:55] MrKennie: I hope so, but cannot try, because I got "roaming mode" [20:55] how i see how many vhosts i have? [20:55] how can I use dpkg to download a package but not install it ? [20:55] hello mn, i ma here [20:55] marie_ux: It might be. Have you read the factoids yet? There could be some useful clue in the troubleshooting guide somewhere......... [20:55] mn, yes I just installed Ubunutu over Windows Vista. [20:55] i am here [20:55] i just want the .deb file [20:55] mn, wireless works fine under XP and Vista. [20:55] sunil_:ok, still lookin [20:55] enhazed: I#m surprised at your speed, you said the other machine was down the hall? [20:55] sorry for troubling [20:56] i notice that pages with lots of youtube embeds crash firefox. [20:56] xerxes1358: did you ever reinstall xp or vista from the OEM's cds? [20:56] have you seen my post in ubuntuforums.org? [20:56] how i see how many vhosts i have? [20:56] mn, Yes. [20:56] Guys, I'm trying to install vmware under Ubuntu Hardy Heron. I found it in synaptic BUT when I try to install it, I get the following: vmware-server: [20:56] Depends: vmware-server-kernel-modules but it is not installable [20:56] Depends: libssl0.9.7 but it is not installable [20:56] Can anyone help? Thanks a lot [20:56] sunil_:yes [20:56] StepNjump: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:56] guntbert - not a very long hall :)) [20:56] i got the route print, pasting now [20:56] mn, I tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=437982 also [20:56] mn, I have the Wifi driver on CD [20:56] xerxes1358: and you didn't have to get drivers to get a wireless connection under win? [20:56] Demian: I'm pretty sure dpkg and apt-get both have options for that. Read their manpages for more info. [20:57] xerxes1358: ok [20:57] guntbert & MrKennie - http://paste.ubuntu.com/44308/plain/ [20:57] how can i remove the present driver and re install a new driver from realtek? [20:57] StepNjump: go read the ubuntu forums, theres tons of help there. [20:57] StepNjump: its all explained in the forums. [20:57] hello please, how can I open a psd in gimp??

[20:57] ok bobertdos [20:57] (i'm typing your names in front of my lines because i'm assuming there's some sort of highlight feature, i can stop doing that if it's annoying, not sure about the ettiquette on this) [20:58] :) [20:58] mn, ? So now what ? [20:58] xerxes1358: I would say you need to get ndiswrapper from sourceforge [20:58] Hi guys, I'm trying to install vmware on Ubuntu http://paste.ubuntu.com/44309/ [20:58] StepNjump: go read the ubuntu forums, theres tons of help there. [20:58] StepNjump: its all explained in the forums.

I found it in synaptic BUT when I try to install it, I get the following: vmware-server: Depends: vmware-server-kernel-modules but it is not installable StepNjump: Depends: libssl0.9.7 but it is not installable StepNjump: Can anyone help? Thanks a lot [20:58] mn, ok can you help me with that though. [20:58] obviously your not listening.. [20:59] Ok thanks a lot Shey [20:59] your welcome. [20:59] xerxes1358: sure thing [20:59] nice [20:59] No I was trying to figure out how this pasting thingy works [20:59] and by the way, should i boot back into linux or is there anything more i can do on windows? [20:59] StepNjump: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_fawn_vmware_server_howto [20:59] oh ok =0 [20:59] =) [20:59] Im getting this error when trying to open a psd in gimp: Cannot handle PSD files in CMYK color [20:59] ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net to install it xerxes1358 [20:59] mn, cant I just install it from package manager in Ubunutu ? [21:00] MrKennie & enhazed: I don't see how this could work at the moment, but it obviously does [21:00] StepNjump: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-vmware-server-on-ubuntu-8.04 [21:00] xerxes1358: that's the GUI front-end for it [21:00] ok [21:00] guntbert - you mean the settings i have on windows? :) [21:00] joshuajtl: I'm assuming that implies that Gimp can only handle psd's in RGB. [21:00] joshuajtl: pretty self explicative gimp can not open CMYK psd only RGB ones (i guess) [21:01] ndisgtk is the GUI front-end for ndiswrapper [21:01] enhazed: yes, they seem to be wrong, but they work :/ [21:01] grr [21:01] bobertdos, erUSUL, is there then anyway to have it open the CMYK in RGB ? [21:01] xerxes1358: let me know when you get it downloaded [21:01] well... that's strange. had no idea [21:01] anyone, reistalling from a local iso-file? no bootcd/bootdisk.. [21:01] mn, ok [21:02] ok now, can someone help me with Gnome?? [21:02] guntbert: I can't see how it's working in windows. Ubuntu wil not add the route because there's nothing to attach it to. [21:02] alguien k hable español? [21:02] joshuajtl: dunno [21:02] shey_: you have to be a bit more specific... [21:02] |es | stalin [21:02] !es | stalin [21:02] stalin: 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. [21:02] stalin vaya ud. a #ubuntu-es [21:02] mn, I installed it via package manager [21:02] thank's [21:02] negge: I installed fluxbox, then went to change the sessions, but its not asking me which session I want, and now I cant get back into x. [21:02] It asks me for a .inf file I think I can now install the driver from cd not? [21:02] BUT!!! [21:02] its running [21:03] MrKennie_: you're probably right [21:03] guntbert: he is on a 22 so I was guessing simply changing his netmask to 255.255.252.0 might work [21:03] shey_: okay. I don't know anything about that, sorry [21:03] xerxes1358: is the driver a single .exe or .cab? [21:03] negge: ok thanks. [21:03] Im back on idle. [21:03] xerxes1358: or is it unpacked on the cd? [21:04] MrKennie_: but windows config states /24 [21:04] guntbert: exactly, that is why I can't see how it's working [21:04] especially as there are no other routes [21:04] i need to brb, phone. [21:05] !ufw [21:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw [21:05] jgedeon! [21:05] can you help me? [21:05] yes, today I am on the other side of the assistance line. [21:05] Hey there shey_ whats going on? [21:06] I broke gnome somehow, X is still running, obviously, cause shey is here, but!! somehow I broke the session and it wont allow me to switch to fluxbox. [21:06] ok... back. do you think there's anything that can be done? i have no idea why my windows connection is weird. my provider set that up [21:06] I am in text console now. [21:07] I have a Mitac laptop with Nvidia GeForce 8600MGT graphic card (not using restricted drivers) and suspend doesn't work - It can resume, but the screen remains completely black. I've been told that disabling ACPI can solve this issue. Is that an viable solution? [21:07] joshuajtl: There's a less powerful editor called Krita that can handle CMYK. If you're running Gnome, it will run, but it will want to install a few of the K libraries (not the whole environment though ;)) [21:07] i added a extension cable to my monitor, now it doesnt detect the right resolution anymore [21:07] shey: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_add_fluxbox_to_gdm [21:07] enhazed: I wanna know from what windows machine the tracert was [21:07] favro: I am in console [21:07] mn, it is unpacked on cd (I had to find the cd ). And it is a .inf file indeed [21:07] How you gunna give me a website with no running x [21:07] thats like throwing someone water when they are drowning. [21:07] shey_ console is great place!!! No WM to screw things up. LOL [21:07] lol [21:07] shey: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and startx [21:07] xerxes1358: ok copy all of the files from the cd into a single directory [21:07] enhazed: I mean was it "the other" or was it your "dual" [21:08] favro: tried that, lemme try something else. I ust thought of something. [21:08] cntrl-alt-f2 to the rescue! [21:08] shey_ does top show anyting running for gdm? [21:08] the traceroute was from this machine, not the one running ubuntu [21:08] how can i use a custom rule/resolution for my nvidia driver [21:08] without DPMS? [21:08] i have windows up on the dual-boot machine now, so i can do a traceroute there if you want [21:09] shey_ also how did you mess it up? edit xorg.conf? [21:09] enhazed: sure [21:09] ok [21:09] MrKennie traceroute to what? :) [21:09] mn, done. [21:09] xerxes1358: now locate the .inf file and in a terminal type ndiswrapper -i example.inf [21:09] o.O [21:09] \o/ [21:09] NICK jimmey [21:09] Shit. [21:09] Sorry. [21:09] Jimmey1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:09] enhazed: doesn't matter use netzmafia.de again, lets denote "your" machine as 1, and the "other" as 2 [21:10] xerxes1358 (replace example with the name of the file of course) [21:10] enhazed: www.google.com will do [21:10] jgedeon: I dunno [21:10] guntbert - allright, so the dualboot machine is 1 and the windows-only machine is 2. [21:10] :) [21:10] shey, what do you mean you don't know. [21:10] jgedeon: Im back in it now, now I am trying to get the menu during login so I can switch sessions. [21:10] mn, I did it via the GUI and found the driver [21:11] sunil_:sorry, but i can find nothing [21:11] xerxes1358: so now you installed the driver? [21:11] buh bye ghost. [21:11] ok that is alright. i will try later again [21:11] brb, lemme try something [21:12] mn, it says: net8187b: Hardware present: yes. [21:12] so now disconnect your ethernet cable and see if your wireless works [21:13] When I run apt-get install I get this message: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/) [21:13] mn, shouldnt I try to configure the network first? [21:14] well, your ethernet cable is unlugged from your router right? [21:14] guntbert & MrKennie - http://paste.ubuntu.com/44319/plain/ the traceroute from the dualboot machine [21:14] JohnMS: did you use sudo? [21:14] Yes. [21:14] hello there, greetings from a german Kraut. Can anybody help me with problems while displaying videos on 24'' display? There is a break line in all movies/recordings in ceveral applications. [21:14] hi guys, I lost my top window's bar which contains the close, minimize, and expand buttons, I tried to restart compiz but problem is not solved [21:14] !resetpanels [21:14] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [21:15] JohnMS, either something else is using it or you didn't type sudo apt-get update [21:15] mn, I think it works :) [21:15] It is searching [21:15] xerxes1358: good :) [21:15] jgedeon: I have nothing else running, and I have used sudo. [21:15] why is it that linux web browsers are slow/dont work as well as windows browsers? [21:15] night_time: if you have emerald type emerald --replace [21:15] Qster: Web browsers? [21:15] enhazed: lets try another way. Who gave you the IP-Adress, you should use? [21:16] JohnMS, type sudo -i and that will make you like root and then do the apt-get update and see what it does. [21:16] jgedeon: Okay. [21:16] guntbert - the ip address was assigned to me by my provider [21:16] mn: yes like firefox with alot of graphics etc lags when you scroll down where as on windows you dont see any difference.. [21:16] jgedeon: Got the same error message. Should I just delete the lock file? [21:16] mn, It cant connect to the network. [21:17] Qster: you can use firefox on windows or linux [21:17] favro: thanks this worked [21:17] is there a way to give more processing power so it makes it smoother? [21:17] xerxes1358: what error is it giving? just saying it can't connect? [21:17] hello there, greetings from a german Kraut. Can anybody help me with problems while displaying videos on 24'' display? There is a break line in all movies/recordings in ceveral applications. [21:17] +c+s [21:18] is there a program i can run from the command line & get it to play a sound? [21:18] enhazed: I see, your provider gave you two different configurations for two computers? [21:18] pteague, mplayer? [21:18] yes, each computer has its own configuration [21:18] they actually came and set each of them up manually [21:18] Qster, graphics scrolling is handled by X and the graphics driver on Unix-like operating systems. Upgrade your driver and/or graphics card for better graphics handling. [21:19] JohnMS, Have you check if any other apt-get's were running??? top | grep apt-get [21:19] everything always worked fine, i just wanted to try ubuntu and the troubles started [21:19] Does WINE emulate / as C:\? If not, what part of the hard-drive is it considering C:\? [21:19] I have a Mitac laptop with Nvidia GeForce 8600MGT graphic card (not using restricted drivers) and suspend doesn't work - It can resume, but the screen remains completely black. What can I do to solve this? [21:19] i never knew that my mac address was broadcast to my ISP over ADSL ? I thought hardware addresses were stripped at router ? [21:19] hello why am i unable to see the bbc flash videos in ubuntu hardy? [21:20] xerxes1358: is it working now? [21:20] enhazed: have you tried to ask your ISP's help desk? [21:20] boritek: are you able to see any flash videos? [21:20] Qster, in Microsoft operating systems the graphics handling is "married" to the OS. Under Unix-like systems the graphics handling is a software layer on top of the OS. [21:20] mn, no it cant connect [21:20] mn: yes, i can see other flash contents and videos [21:21] boritek: then, idk [21:21] eracc: is that something that will always be like that? [21:21] xerxes1358: is the ethernet cable still plugged into your computer and not into the router? [21:21] guntbert - no, it was allready late when i finished installing ubuntu. i guess i'll just try them tomorrow? [21:21] Qster, the Unix-like method is much better for overall OS stability. So, I certainly hope so. :) [21:21] JohnMS, killall aptitude && killall apt-get && killall dpkg && killall frontend [21:21] mn: its shows its video window and a loading circle in it, but it never starts playing [21:21] Help. NX Client on vista connects in safe mode to my Ubuntu 8.10, so I know connection is set up correctly, but when not in safe mode "can not initialize display service" is the error I get.... [21:21] guntbert & MrKennie_ - so there's nothing to do? :) [21:21] Bueler? [21:22] npviewer.bin keeps crashing when there are many embeded youtubes on a webpage (with firefox x86_64) [21:22] mn, Is it necessary for the network to have Internet connection? Should I thus connect the internet cable to the router again? [21:22] boritek: try it with more than one browser and on more than one OS to try to pinpoint the problem [21:22] Qster, on Linux your GUI can die and you can still use the system. Not so with Microsoft's method. [21:22] enhazed: well, from what I can tell linux can't add the default route because the network the gateway belongs to is not assigned anywhere [21:23] enhazed: I'm afraid I have no further ideas, as the configuration of 1/windows looks plainly wrong to me, so as if they had played some "dirty tricks" or so [21:23] eracc thats true.. [21:23] Qster, also, X is a network GUI. So, you can have a dead graphics card and still be able to load your desktop from another Linux PC. [21:24] xerxes1358: if your ethernet cable is not connected to your modem then you can't use wireless. Your ethernet cable needs to run from the ethernet port on your modem to the one on the router and you can plug your computer into port 1 on the router with an ethernet cable if you wish [21:24] guntbert: maybe changing the netmask will work but test adding the gateway manually again. [21:24] is there a way that I can set a maximum amount of memory any single program can use? [21:24] guntbert - ok... so i suppose if windows was "fooled" by their settings, linux can't be persuaded? :) [21:24] mn, I am going to connect the cable back to the router. Maybe that will help [21:24] brb [21:24] MrKennie_ - i'll go retry to add the gateway [21:24] xerxes1358: k and it should [21:24] cause i keep accidentally opening huge files in firefox and getting into tons of swap [21:24] which kills my system [21:24] enhazed: rememember to change the netmask first and see if you get any errors [21:24] Qster, so, upgrade your graphics card and/or your driver if you are concerned about graphics drawing speeds on your Linux. :) [21:25] Where can i find otclsh? [21:25] enhazed: if we know what they did, we can try, but firts follow MrKennie's advice [21:25] enhazed: er, see if you get any errors when adding the route [21:25] any idea why when using sudo tasksel install lamp-server and trying to load php files, i get prompted to download .phtml files? [21:25] or to download the php files themeselves? [21:26] Qster, I did not see if you said this ... which graphics card + driver are you using now? [21:26] nickweb: does it happen if you make them .php? === EagleSn is now known as EagleScreen [21:26] eracc how would i check? [21:26] any nice chat IRC for routers and the firmware to use? [21:27] jrib, theyre already php files, it shows as d/l a .phtml if no files is specified (localhost/) or .php if a file is called directly (localhost/index.php) [21:27] spiritssight1: #hardware [21:27] guntbert & MrKennie_ - ok, it's booting into ubuntu now. so what do i do first? a bit confused.. :) [21:27] hey [21:27] Qster, that information should be in your xorg.conf file.

NX Client on vista connects in safe mode to my Ubuntu 8.10, so I know connection is set up correctly, but when not in safe mode "can not initialize display service" is the error I get....

[21:27] nickweb: follow the troubleshooting steps there [21:27] enhazed: first change netmask to 255.255.252.0 [21:28] Anyone here? [21:28] ok [21:28] Qster, I do not currently have my 'buntu booted. But on this Mandriva box that file is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:28] I have a Mitac laptop with Nvidia GeForce 8600MGT graphic card (not using restricted drivers) and suspend doesn't work - It can resume, but the screen remains completely black. Disabling ACPI doesn't help. [21:28] enhazed: then run ifconfig to verify the changes have been applied.

[21:29] k, on my 80gig which used to have iaktos on it i deleted the partition and created a new ext3 one. however after each time of writing it and even trying to reboot it would show no partitions. so then i finally got it to show a partition but nobody but root has access to write to the hard drive. how do i fix that? [21:29] I am trying to set up my hauppauge PVR 150 with kubuntu, and the command mplayer /dev/video0 give me an error saying failed to open /dev/video0 [21:29] @ jrib I followed that bit - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Troubleshooting%20PHP%205 [21:29] boritek: but not on linux with firefox? [21:29] Qster, IIRC "nvidia" is the 3D nVidia driver. So, do you have a line with "BoardName" on it? [21:29] mn: yeah not on linux with firefox [21:29] silly question: is dig a part of Ubuntu? I can't seem to find it, or a package containing it [21:29] I was installing updates but somehow in between my laptop battery was empty and it got off. Now i want to continue the update where it was left. [21:30] jrib, still dosent play. it does report, "This module is already enabled!" [21:30] nickweb: there are other steps.

[21:32] enhazed: neither have I, but I'm glad for your - have a nice experience with your new ubuntu :) [21:32] what does ctrl + alt + f7 [21:32] take you to the gui screen instead of the terminal screen [21:32] MrKennie_ - yes [21:32] brings you to your x term [21:32] nVidia Corporation GeForce 8500 GT (rev a1) [21:32] ahhh [21:32] ;D [21:32] ty [21:32] no :) [21:32] enhazed: excellent [21:32] sp* [21:32] np** [21:32] guntbert: worth noting, I've found that windows ignores netmask to reach gateway [21:32] (sorry my typing is wretched today) [21:32] guntbert & MrKennie_ - thank you both very much for all your help. i'll go start fiddling with the ubuntu.. :) [21:32] mn i got some problem with reuters videos as well, which i havent got earlier, now i hear the sound but no video at all, just a white space instead [21:33] enhazed: you're very welcome [21:33] and adblock plus is deactivated on that site [21:33] have a good night.. or, um, whatever you're having :) good bye! :) [21:33] enhazed: you're welcome [21:33] Qster, use sudo lspci -v [21:33] Anyone know how i can find the /home/username [21:33] files?

When my computer comes back up, the machine shows very high load, which drops down. why does it show high load in the first place? [21:35] zammyking111: it should show some file names? [21:35] Qster, so, the only thing you could do to get better graphics processing is to replace the video card. [21:35] eracc does that mean its an onboard video card? [21:36] Qster, no idea.

In 7.10 I added this line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and it worked: "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" (the model is actually mitac, but acer worked). Now when I do the same in 8.04, it doesn't work. If I set the model to "targa-dig" in 8.04, I get very, very low sound on the loudspeakers but the headset plug doesn't work. [21:59] Can anyone help me with that? [22:00] super-6-1: no idea what kppp is [22:00] nandemonai: I assume I can't mount the partition while it's copying?

[22:09] anyone know what can be used to measure power consumption for the PC at any point? [22:09] sorry i wrote wrong [22:09] jrib, not now I have un-installed it a long time ago. I never had problem with apt-get in terminal.

Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [22:14] uncle_: the most important piece of info for tor is in /usr/share/doc/tor/README.privoxy [22:14] when you start a program (pidgin or rythmbox) it has a little icon in the top left corner of the screen on the panel, I accidently deleted those and how do i get them back? I cannot find it in "add to panel" [22:15] jrib: it doesn't set it. You have to configure privoxy to use tor, and then configure your browser (or otherwise configure a socks proxy to point to privoxy on port 8118) [22:15] tritium, i don't have tor installed. bash: /usr/share/doc/tor/README.privoxy: No such file or directory [22:15] Hi - Anyone suggest an application I could use with my HP Photosmart 2610 - It prints very nice - but would like to use the scanner ? ? ?

[22:15] uncle_: then you don't have tor installed [22:15] how do you add user accounts if the add user thingy is disabled?

Now when I do the same in 8.04, it doesn't work. If I set the model to "targa-dig" in 8.04, I get very, very low sound on the loudspeakers but the headset plug doesn't work. [22:16] habernet:: Pidgin should be under the network category and RhthymBox should be under Sound/Video or Multimedia. If not, you can always create your own launchers. [22:16] woah, was scrolled back in the chat buffer... [22:16] favro: thanks. uncle_ can you check ~/.profile [22:17] tin_lizzy: XSane [22:17] uncle_: are you trying to install tor?

[22:17] tritium, no lol [22:17] tin_lizzy: It's shipped by default with Ubuntu. [22:17] jrib, explain ~/.profile ? [22:17] jrib, what to do with it? [22:17] shey: Disabled? Are you sure it isn't just locked? [22:17] If I burn a new cd with ubuntu and use it to install at the sabe partiton where this version I'm using (64 bits), it will replace the one I'm? [22:17] uncle_: grep http_proxy ~/.profile [22:18] I'm having this issue where I can't pause and resume mkvs and a few other video formats in mplayer if I pause and then press play it just restarts the [22:18] video :/ [22:18] bobertdos: I got it, thanks for your responce. [22:18] jrib, i did. [22:18] tritium: his computer lost power during an update. Tried to run 'sudo apt-get update', but it was trying to connect to localhost [22:18] uncle_: nothing? [22:18] jrib: ah [22:18] would ACPI be on at the same time APM is on? or is it one or the other? [22:18] Polarina: Ah I found it under Graphics folder - Cheezzz what newbie here - ha ha === gokturk is now known as Guest89568 [22:18] #ubuntu-tr [22:18] jrib, nothing.

[22:21] oooo thanks... so, it SHOULD solve most of my problems??? [22:21] okay what happened to the wiki? [22:21] wiki.ubuntu.com is down [22:21] uncle_: you didn't configure anything in System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy, did you? [22:21] help.ubuntu.com is down [22:21] jacklake: if wifi didn't work the first time you installed, it isn't going to work the second time either probably. Did you read the wifi docs ubottu gave you? [22:22] jrib, should i paste bin? [22:22] histo: not for me [22:22] tritium, nope i didn't [22:22] uncle_: sure [22:22] I recently did an upgrade to ubuntu on my laptop - after the upgrade my PCMCIA NIC is ignored. It's as if it doesn't exist - it was working at the start of the upgrade it's how I did the upgrade) [22:22] Where should I look for answers? Is PCMICA a known issue when upgrading? [22:22] grendelson: no [22:22] Did I leave a package out? [22:22] histo: They're fine for me too. Maybe you're having a network problem.

That's cuz I'm QUITE difficult to assimilate information through docs :( [22:25] deleted [22:25] jrib, i didnt run a command i just installed wit synaptic and tried to run from applications [22:25] jacklake: boot the cd you installed with and do "verify the integrity of the cd". If that's fine and you completed the install successfully, there's no point in reinstalling. You just have to sort out the issues one by one [22:25] jrib, i did. [22:25] mn, still no luck :( [22:26] uncle_: did you add that to your .bashrc after reading the gentoo wiki? [22:26] mn, can you help me to activate my wifi ?

[22:31] nathanielneall: try google [22:32] tarelerulz_: please don't discuss the download of copyrighted material here [22:32] uncle_: now sudo apt-get upgrade [22:32] tarelerulz_: One of the best things to do is to make a separate partition for /home [22:32] tarelerulz_, keep your data on a separate partition or better yet keep /home on a separate partition. [22:32] where is the dictionary? [22:32] jrib, it will install new updates including linux new kernel [22:33] jrib, it came up with sitemapgen [22:33] nathanielneall: what? [22:33] uncle_: k [22:33] I want to grep the dictionary but am not sure where it is... [22:33] Well, Ubuntu let you make home partition say 50 gb and say the rest of the stuff on its own partition etc, bin, usr, and and so on [22:34] jrib, when i put in google and tab filled in "sitemapgen" [22:34] jrib, anyways what to do? can i show you screen shot of my system [22:34] nathanielneall: heh, ok hold on [22:34] how do i toggle between my computer and other computer with vncviewer -fullscreen?

[22:36] uncle_: ok why though? [22:36] user01: sorry :) [22:36] tarelerulz_, approx 4GB leaving not much left.

[22:37] jrib, what means "in a shell" as a terminal command? [22:37] jrib, it would seem practical if i am logging in to the other computer to run the desktop, i would want to also be able to toggle back to the computer i am actually using [22:37] I'm back... and... the cd is right... I think it's some trouble with the distro (ubuntu 8.4.1 64 bits) [22:37] user01: yeah makes sense, I don't use vncviewer much though [22:37] jrib, i can do without problem but don't have modem drivers for the latest kernels [22:38] jacklake: yes, then you need to read the docs I sent you earlier to get wifi working (or try a different distro) [22:38] uncle_: well you can still boot your old kernel [22:38] jrib, i got this error: dpkg: status database area is locked by another process [22:38] jrib, so should i upgrade to new kernel and then how i will be able to boot from my old kernel [22:39] nada: look under /usr/share/dict/ [22:39] for exemple - at the documentation of help, it tell me to go system>Preferencies>Hardware info - I dont have this Hardware something option :( [22:39] uncle_: this is just a regular upgrade right? Not to a new version of ubuntu? [22:39] nathanielneall: close add/remove or synaptic [22:40] jrib, i know but after installing updates of kernel, I know my driver won't work with the latest. [22:40] the path is - System>Preferencies>hardware something (I can't quite remember) but there's nothing even close to it :( [22:40] uncle_: do you understand my question? [22:40] jrib, i got that yeah, so i ran sudo dpkg configur a, then what happens? [22:40] jacklake: some docs are outdated :( [22:40] nathanielneall: did it give you anything? [22:41] just opened another command line as if i hadnt put anything in [22:41] if it's outdates... what should I do? Can I change the language of my ubuntu witout re-intalling it?

[22:55] uncle_: the default is still the same, yes [22:56] jrib, then why mine got change in updates lol [22:57] jrib, how to switch back? [22:57] Gnea: No drivers specifically for it in the printer wizard, and the omnipotent Google is of little help.

Ubuntu sees the disks as seperate. I installed dmraid but still same. see here http://pastebin.com/m48916dc4 [23:02] Error4o4, motherboard-based "hardware" raid isn't really done in hardware, you know. [23:02] the RAID part is done in drivers/software [23:03] so it makes sense that your drives are seen separately by ubuntu === brainwashedtwerp is now known as deepfried [23:03] Hi [23:03] Bonjour [23:03] how do you setup gnump3d [23:04] Swish: yuo see how dm raid created several devices there, somethings wrong, no idea how to get that to work [23:04] I don't have any sound than beep :( [23:04] Or, better - my sound card doesn't work [23:05] zeas [23:05] can I remove icons from the ume-launcher in netbook remix?

My wife just bought one, and we are a Windoze-free household. She opted for the Kodak because of their GREAT prices on ink, but neglected to check on their linux support, which happens to be virtually non-existent. I suppose I'll have to convince her to go with virtualization for now. [23:08] jrib, The configuration defaults for GNOME power manager is not installed correctly [23:08] sepp, Sypth package manager or add/remove [23:09] sepp, that is.. synaptic package manager under System/Admin [23:09] is there an IDE that has something like visualstudio's intellisense? [23:09] In windows you can just over write the os files and keep everything ? Can you do that with Ubuntu or any other distro [23:09] c0mp13371331337: have you tried using one of the other kodak drivers? [23:09] nathanielneall: hmm, well you can use the bin but then it's not managed by APT. to use the bin you should remove this one and just run ./name_of_bin in the directory where the bin is. You may have to give the file executable permissions first [23:09] uncle_: error? [23:09] is there a command i can use to add a string of text to the end of a file? [23:10] KenBW22: echo foobar >> file [23:10] jrib, how do i give executable permission? [23:10] Gnea: Not yet, I wanted to see if there were any known solutions out there before wasting ink on test pages with incorrect drivers. I suppose I'll give that a shot before VirtualBox. Thanks!

Let me know if it is not [23:15] how do i get a list of channels? [23:15] zammyking111: why do you need to find this out?

If I'm not here, 1) pastebin the errors you got 2) say you may want to run 'dpkg --configure -a' 3) and you may need to fsck your drive [23:19] jrib, i dont see it on the wikipage [23:19] jrib, haha yeah, when my computer got shutdown unexpectedly i did fsck [23:19] KenBW22: you would have to do vnc through ssh or something. You could also use ssh -X , then run gnome-panel if you wanted the panel for example [23:19] I tried to install A file and the permision is denied........ I forget the command i need to type in after the ./ [23:20] uncle_: good, then I'm sure this will get sorted. Might need to use the hammer here and there though [23:20] phantomcircuit: how?/which one? [23:20] Sn007ake, how 'bout "sudo" before ./ ? [23:20] emorris: so any app that i ran from the gnome-panel would load at the other end? [23:20] jrib, haha, if it won't i will move back to windows. [23:20] emorris, it depends on the device you wish to disable [23:21] jrib, its not on the wiki page [23:21] nathanielneall: you're on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu? search for "GPG Key" on the page [23:21] nathanielneall: second hit [23:21] KenBW22: well the actual program would load on the server, yes, but only you would see the GUI [23:22] emorris: yea thats what i meant [23:22] emorris: thanks [23:22] phantomcircuit: sorry, yeah, i meant how would i find this out? it is an embedded sound card [23:22] well [23:22] anyone else have to frequently clear their DNS cache by restarting nscd and/or clearing private data in FFox 3, specifically with yahoo-owned hosts? [23:22] lsmod will list all the kernel modules [23:22] and the sound drivers have snd in their names [23:22] KenBW22: remember linux is case sensitive - use a capital X [23:22] so lsmod|grep snd [23:22] and figure otu which is the correct one [23:23] jrib, i already used that to get the repository list for medibuntu [23:23] do it again?

[23:41] Arnell: so it seems yep [23:41] WINDOWS <3 [23:41] tj83: yep to get the card model and name [23:41] enhazed: the hardware tool in System -> Administration does something like that.

[23:44] enhazed: driver for that hardware is included with ubuntu [23:44] enhazed, did you enable the restricted driver? [23:44] enhazed: ah. That's what I meant. It'll generally pick up hardware for which you can install "official" drivers. Otherwise, there's nothing which will do anything like that AFAIK. [23:45] Gnea, i've dialup connection, can't download images. i want the downloaded images :) [23:45] ZeetreX: I think that shipit sends DVDs to Iran ( not free like the CD's though ) which contain all of main [23:45] tj83: there's no restricted driver to enable, the "hardware drivers" window is empty... [23:45] !info xserver-xorg-video-intel | enhazed [23:45] ZeetreX: aaah okay [23:45] enhazed: xserver-xorg-video-intel (source: xserver-xorg-video-intel): X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver. In component main, is optional. Version 2:2.2.1-1ubuntu13.6 (hardy), package size 328 kB, installed size 652 kB (Only available for alpha amd64 arm armeb armel hppa hurd-i386 i386 ia64 kfreebsd-i386 lpia m68k mips mipsel netbsd-i386 powerpc) [23:45] anyone know how to install or find my graphic card [23:45] zammyking112: which one [23:45] Jordan_U, i've the main dvd [23:46] texer, the cdrw im using currently just has 2 songs on it so computer thinks its an audio cd but i want to erase those songs [23:46] what u mean which one [23:46] zammyking112: lspci | grep VGA [23:46] huh? [23:46] ok, so the bottom line is i probably have the latest available driver allready installed? :) [23:46] ZeetreX: does iran offer broadband? [23:46] enhazed: probably, yes. [23:46] enhazed: maybe not the lastest but the one supported and probed to work in ubuntu === basshunter_ is now known as YahWek [23:47] Gnea, 128k for home users [23:47] enhazed, you can check for the propiatory drive in your xorg.conf.. gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf... look for the driver line.. if it says nv or vesa you might try changing it to intel [23:47] so [23:47] enhazed, perhaps you should check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see what driver is being loaded [23:47] ZeetreX: yikes. :/ [23:47] now lets give a try, Gnea what mode? could i add this in grub menue while booting? [23:47] * tj83 was a bit late [23:47] tj83: i don't know how to do that, sorry [23:48] enhazed, look for my last message above to you [23:48] enhazed: probably you are already using the right driver. just in case run "gksudo displayconfig-gtk" [23:48] how can i install my graphics card [23:48] enhazed sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [23:48] enhazed, that makes a back up first [23:48] ok, will do that [23:48] tabakhase_: yeah, just append it to your kernel line... where it would say: quiet splash, make it say: quiet splash pci=routeirq [23:48] enhazed, then gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:48] Gnea, it's hard to live without broadband :D [23:48] Gnea but i can do this in the bootmenue or? [23:49] tj83: ok, the file opened [23:49] zammyking112: which graphic card do you have? [23:49] now i need to locate the driver line..? [23:49] tabakhase_: sure, you can do it when it first boots up or you can edit menu.lst [23:49] driver "something" what is it? [23:49] enhazed, under configured video device [23:50] does anyone have problems with card-readers resetting themselves continually in ubuntu? [23:50] i boot up, other way will take about a hour in case of this lags =( [23:50] I get the same problem on my laptop and my desktop.

[23:59] DrVali: That command works, but it's not formatted as I would like. I would like the output to be only the directories. The command you gave me gives me the full path of the directories, plus some other stuf (owner, group, etc) and the files in those directories.
