[00:00] lee_: are you sure the ffmpeg package from medibuntu isn't compiled with the support you want? [00:00] reportingsjr: 5% is reserved for root [00:00] jrib: Not entirely sure, but why is medialib hard to get? [00:00] jack-desktop, i found... thx [00:00] jrib, ah, that would explain it. :) [00:00] darrylb: got some space on a hd free ? [00:00] goldmetal np [00:00] reportingsjr: you can change it with tune2fs, but I've never done it [00:01] lee_: I've never heard of it [00:01] jrib: ffmpeg is asking for it :| [00:01] ScheissDrogen: Can't do it without installing to HD? I was thinking it might go into a ram drive or something. Or, is there some way I can make a custom ubuntu live cd that has the nvidia drivers on it? [00:01] jrib: how would I install ffmpeg from medibuntu repositories instead of the usual ones? [00:01] !medibuntu > lee_ [00:01] lee_, please see my private message [00:01] jrib, thanks so much! I will now enjoy 650gb, compared to the 40gb I had for the past two years. :) [00:02] Isaac_of_Trek: That means it's detected, but not necessarily that there's a driver installed for it. [00:02] yo yo yo [00:02] it says the drivers there. Under drivers [00:02] jrib: i've got the medibuntu repo, but how to I get apt to 'prefer' it? [00:02] reportingsjr: wow, what an upgrade :) [00:02] has anyone seen a guy named cheesy ? [00:03] lee_: it will do so automatically. Check with 'apt-cache policy ffmpeg' [00:03] darrylb: little nervy with ram, would need enormous amount and after reboot its gone, yes there are ways to make custom-live, but I'm no specialist in that [00:03] ok [00:03] iwconfig reports lo no wireless extensions eth0 no wireless extentions [00:04] Ok, posted my problem on the forums. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5752477#post5752477 [00:04] jrib, hah, yeah. SATA2 from IDE cable. =\ [00:05] Isaac_of_Trek: Maybe you should try ndisgtk (with ndiswrapper) using the latest XP driver. [00:05] jrib, just about EVERYTHING from now on will be going in my new hd, so I can get some decent speeds.. [00:05] Where can I change the default sound output device in firefox on hardy? /etc/firefox/firefoxrc doesn't exist and firefox doesn't seem to know about it. [00:05] bobertdos: what? and it is duel booting with a vista basic [00:06] I tried getting network manager, but it does not seem to be working [00:06] I used to have a lock icon in the notification area indicating my ssh keyphrase is cached by the seahorse agent (I guess in feisty I still had it), and I never seen it ever since the upgrade to gutsy, also missing in hardy (so it's a regression). Anyone know how to re-enable it? [00:06] joh: firefox ?? asoundconf-gtk you can change it or gnome-volume manager [00:07] ScheissDrogen: Thanks [00:07] Isaac_of_Trek: Define "not working" [00:07] its not here [00:07] I can't find the icon [00:07] reportingsjr: might make sense to just make your new hd your /home [00:07] It is uninstallable === Vladimir|Tepes is now known as krauss [00:08] Isaac_of_Trek: Nothing under System->Administration->Network, right? [00:09] in network setting? [00:10] my ubuntu intrepid is too slow to boot up. it stops about 2 minutes in "starting network". the cable is plugged any hint? [00:10] so the problem ive been having i believe is that some programs use pulse audio and some dont, and i can have both programs running at the same time with audio, example i cant have amarok and firefox playing sounds at t he same time, any fix for this? [00:10] Isaac_of_Trek: Yeah......Oh, and ndisgtk is a graphical front for ndiswrapper, you see. It uses Windows XP drivers to configure (mostly) drivers for wifi cards. [00:11] wil_: i have pulse audio and many programs using sound at the same time. === reggaeRoots is now known as bobRoots [00:12] timo: ive had this problem since ive installed [00:12] wil_: This has more to do with Pulse than anything else. It is a known bug, with no good fix at the moment. The only workaround is to switch all the sound devices to Alsa. Amarok tends to lockup when you do this, but Rhythmbox is okay with it. [00:13] wil_: I had to install many other things to get it working, look on the ubuntu forums [00:13] timo: i have all the time, find nothing on the forums [00:13] anybody help me pls [00:13] bobertdos: know if they intend to fix any of this in ibex?> [00:13] i am new [00:13] got my iscsi connection working....im stoked [00:13] !find tild [00:13] Found: tilda [00:14] i am having problems with my graphic card [00:14] wil_: We can only hope ;\ [00:14] pulse works great here really couldnt live without it. [00:14] help pleasde [00:14] never had a problem before pulse [00:14] now i do [00:14] hate it [00:14] !ask | lars [00:14] lars: 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. :-) [00:14] lol wil_ [00:14] ok [00:15] i have nvidia geforce go 7400 [00:15] but [00:15] resolution [00:15] is horrible [00:15] !enter | lars [00:15] lars: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:15] and i cann ot change it [00:15] wil_: but yeah, for now, go into System->Preferences->Sound and switch everything explicitly to Alsa. Like I said, Amarok doesn't like it, but Rhythm box is okay. [00:15] ScheissDrogen: You good with ALSA? I've set up .asoundrc to redirect audio to JACK, but this doesn't seem to work with flash. Here's my asoundrc: http://paste2.org/p/71551 [00:15] System->Administration->Network and network tools only [00:16] i only have 640 x ...

[00:17] wil_ try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [00:17] [q] How con i monitor a proses and run a command if it stops? [00:17] alsa is history it needs to go. [00:18] Isaac_of_Trek: Install it from the repos, then go find the latest XP driver for your card. It's the inf file that ndisgtk needs to be pointed to, along with the rest of the driver. [00:18] timo: and it will, but not just yet.........it needs a little work [00:18] i have my desktop like cupic but i wanna see the cupic more far [00:18] solexious: there are daemons that will do that. can't remember the name of one atm looking. [00:19] i wanna see it rotating from more distance [00:19] dres, thank you :) [00:19] bobertdos it cant go soon enough its the root of all sound problems [00:19] solexious: monit is one. [00:19] dres, thank you : [00:19] what is repos? [00:20] dres, thats great :) [00:20] timo: There are those who might say just the opposite :p [00:20] do anyone here know what the button is called on the panel for the gnome-panel widgets? not window list... [00:20] timo but we're getting off topic [00:20] joh: I see nothing wrong in it, can you play video in ff ? but get no sound ? [00:20] hey thats life [00:20] timo: i dont know if you noticed, but pulse audio is now the problem of all our sound issues [00:20] lars : can u handle your problem now ? [00:20] pen: you should try #gtk+ or #gnome on GIMPnet [00:20] we justed passed the buck to a new program [00:21] heh [00:21] jrib, there is no gtk+ channel btw [00:21] jrib, GIMPnet? [00:21] jrib, nvm [00:21] wil_ not at all...you will see for your self pule is the ubuntu rescue [00:22] I agree with you, timo, in that Pulse will soon be a great sound server, but it needs to mature a bit. [00:22] im standing by alsa, tried and tested [00:22] well it dont work right now and thats what i dont like [00:23] wil_: I would certainly think Pulse is one of Ibex's focuses. Again, we can only hope for the best. [00:23] hi [00:23] boys [00:24] Nikoremus: don't forget to greet the girls, too [00:24] who is italian? [00:24] Is there a possibility to change the default internal-browser? (nautilus)? [00:24] !it | Nikoremus [00:24] Nikoremus: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [00:24] !it|Nikoremus [00:24] grazie [00:24] prego [00:25] Osse: it's possible, but very painful. If you don't like nautilus, you may as well switch away from gnome. Have you tried KDE and Xfce? [00:25] soundray - No, never tried any of them. [00:25] bobertdos: You said an 8 year old installed a WUBI version of Linux [00:26] bobertdos: What's that? [00:26] Osse: you can get a full alternative environment with apps installed with 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' (for KDE) [00:26] !wubi [00:26] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [00:26] Osse: for Xfce, substitute xubuntu-desktop [00:26] soundray - How would this effect my current installation? [00:27] Osse: not at all, provided you have enough disk space. You will be able to choose the environment each time you log in. [00:27] ScheissDrogen: Exactly, get no sound :( [00:27] ScheissDrogen: I tried adding ctl.mixer0 { type hw \n card 1 } and now I actually get debug messages in jackd whenever I try to play a flash video in ff. [00:28] soundray - Oh, well. What are the diffrances? [00:28] ScheissDrogen: FF uses alsa by default, right? Not aoss? [00:28] Anyone had issues with OpenOffice 2.4.1 Presentation in Hardy seemingly not allowing for the configuration of hyperlink color? [00:29] joh: normally yes, I never had that, once sound was working (system and playback) all other apps addapted it without additional settings [00:29] Osse: Xfce is lighter and thus better for lower-end machines, sacrificing some convenience. KDE offers more tweaks and some would say it's closer to Windows designwise. [00:29] joh: yes, well, flash 9 anyway [00:29] !nvidia [00:29] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:30] I apologize if this question doesn't belong here. I have a webserver with ftp setup. Only 2 people access the files, myself and another web designer that only uses windows. When he uploads anything, I have to go in and change the permissions of the files so people going to the site will be able to view them. Files I upload do have such a problem. Is there a program for windows that will allow him to upload to my server properly or is t [00:30] bobertdos: How would you configure FF to play through aoss instead? [00:30] Osse: the difference is best experienced, though. Alternatively, see if you can get an impression from Youtube videos [00:30] soundray - Well, it sounds like I'm good with Gnome i think, I just wanted to check if there was a possibility to change it, to try others. I know there are some good. [00:31] I am using /usr/bin/osd_cat to print some text to screen but the font is tiny. Is there any syntax that can make the font bigger or actually is it possible for me to define a custom font in X that has a defaut size of say, 25? [00:31] joh: Well, really the only direct control you have when it comes to that is changing the settings in System->Preferences->Sound [00:31] Osse: you can try some in parallel with nautilus. Really replacing, ie. removing nautilus will break a lot of things, though [00:32] soundray - Sounds like I'm not really ready to try that, heh. [00:33] bobertdos: What happened to FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"? [00:33] Osse: are you any good on the command line? If you're at all technically inclined, you'll still fare much better with that than with graphical file management. [00:33] omg wtf?!

[00:33] oh, nvm... got it [00:34] soundray - Well, I do handle alot of stuff through the terminal, but I prefer a simple GUI controlled one. [00:34] ohmy! | eight [00:34] oh, nevermind. [00:34] Is it possible to have the proper permissions set on a file uploaded via ftp if they were uploaded using Windows Internet Explorer? [00:34] Osse: you find nautilus too complex? [00:34] hello [00:34] im new on ubuntu [00:34] yoyo [00:34] hot to add an username ? [00:34] welcome ^_^ [00:35] and that username to have permisions to create some directorys [00:35] BeBeLuShuL: using the GUI? System-Administration-Users and Groups [00:35] How can I copy all files of a given type from a directory and all its subdirectories into another folder? [00:35] soundray - Well, I'm trying out some alternatives right now, I find PCMan File manager quite okay. [00:35] soundray gui ? [00:35] soundray - I like the tabbing features and the customization feats. === NiaGhost is now known as Niamor [00:36] BeBeLuShuL: Graphical User Interface [00:36] BeBeLuShuL: with a Graphical User Interface, as opposed to using the command line. [00:36] there is no such command from terminal/console ? [00:36] BeBeLuShuL: of course there is. 'sudo adduser newusername' [00:36] kamz: cp -r /.../*.type /target [00:37] thats all ? [00:37] kamz: maybe sudo ,if permissions are on that folders [00:37] BeBeLuShuL: this starts a wizard-like procedure [00:37] BeBeLuShuL: 'man adduser' to find out more. [00:38] ScheissDrogen: i tried that, but it didn't copy any files from the subfolders. Don't need sudo (all in the home folder) [00:38] bobertdos: I changed to flash 10rc1 and that fixed my problem. [00:39] kamz: do you want to recreate the folder structure in the target directory? [00:39] Hi guys, one of my friends has an acer 5520g, and he installed ubuntu hardy on it but the wireless light didn't turn on. any ideas why ? [00:39] kamz : name of the folder including subfolders ? [00:40] soundray: no, just need all files of type mp3 [00:40] joh: That works too.........although you will likely eventually run into fairly frequent firefox crashes without a fix. [00:40] you could use rsync for that [00:40] !wireless > abe3k [00:40] abe3k, please see my private message [00:40] joh: *that I can give you, I mean [00:40] ScheissDrogen: folder is /home/user/Music/ and target is /home/user/Music2 === deepl is now known as milia [00:40] hi wonder what I should do because I cannot open in my prog. menu ati catalyst control center? [00:41] kamz: find /source/directory -iname *.mp3 -print0 | xargs -i -0 cp '{}' /target/directory/ [00:41] soundray: thanks, will give it a shot [00:41] nvm, I think cygwin works for ftp transfers from Windows to Linux without screwing up permissions [00:41] if i switch to a terminal with crtl-alt-f3, is there a way to save my xterm, or keep it going? [00:41] i'll tell him to get that lol === david is now known as Guest66156 [00:42] xindo: your X session will keep running.

[00:43] I found a pretty speedy server for the ISO bobertdos [00:44] ScheissDrogen: that won't descend into subdirectories [00:44] kamz : /home/user/Music/ >>>last subfolder !! [00:44] Soundray [00:44] I got flash working :] [00:44] krauss: well done [00:44] good evening gentlemen [00:44] kamz : you got to put in the last subfolder as cmd is going up, not down [00:44] I had ubuntu on dual boot, now when ubuntu starts I get a message with a list of commands available..and kernel is missing!shall I just re-install ubuntu? [00:44] soundray: thanks ;] [00:45] bb [00:45] xindo: it shouldn't normally do that. Did you hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace by accident? [00:45] ScheissDrogen: there are multiple subfolders on the same level [00:45] soundray: but now I am getting a newer version of Ubuntu, because apparently my version is insanely old [00:45] soundray: that seems to have worked, thanks! [00:46] krauss: ah. I tend to forget to ask about the version... === nn_ is now known as Guest7145 [00:46] soundray: Hehe. 5.10 [00:46] kamz: do you understand what it did? [00:46] kamz : thats bed than, if you haven't build sensefull trees, but you could put all the folders in one [00:46] *bad [00:47] soundray: not at all - gotta learn the command line :) [00:47] ScheissDrogen: yeah - trying to create a new, more organized music library [00:48] kamz: try 'find' by itself. It lists all files under a directory, including those in subdirs. '-iname' tells it to list only files that match a pattern, without being CaSe SenSiTIve. [00:49] soundray: thats actually pretty cool - i love how all these little programs can be linked together to do whats needed. Any advice on where to start learning this kind of thing? [00:49] kamz: -print0 separates the listing with a \0 character, making it safe for filenames that contain spaces. Pipe xargs takes the list from find and inserts it into a command, in your case after cp but before the destination directory. [00:50] why will ubuntu not auto connect to a wpa wireless network? tried wicd also, no go. works fine with security turned off. [00:50] !cli | kamz [00:50] kamz: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[01:03] EagleSn: it says "lock panel position" [01:03] may be i should contribute in testing Intrepid lol [01:04] carandraug have you seen any important failure in Intrepid?

But again, my graph card is an ATI without proper support and the same for my wireless adaptor that I have to use ndiswrapper [01:04] EagleSn: please ask about intrepid in #ubuntu+1 [01:05] EagleSn: soundray is right.

[01:13] ActionParsnip: not here, never [01:13] yeh flash is really bad here. [01:14] soundray: sucks here, opera is much nicer to me [01:14] im trying to install ubuntu harty haronx64 using alternate cd text based. when trying to install it says it cant mount th cd-room [01:14] i stopped using opera [01:14] ripper: why did you get the alternate cd? [01:14] my ssh account over the internet works, but i cant seem to get the virtual desktop to work . . . can someone help? [01:15] well in the past live has never worked [01:15] ripper: this happens as you boot the install CD, before you get to make any installation choices? [01:15] user01: use ssh -x user@server [01:15] Ripper: Are you able to use commands? [01:15] ripper: did you md5 check the iso and cd once it was burned? [01:15] yes and yes [01:15] user01, clarify 'virtual desktop' [01:15] after it se what my keyboad is is says it can mount cd-rom [01:15] user01: you will need an x library like cygwin to get the display if you are using a windows box [01:16] dr_Willis, vnc? === dongery is now known as quaal [01:16] *sets [01:16] ripper: what kind of computer is it? Desktop? Laptop? Mac? [01:16] ripper: sudo mkdir /mnt/disk; sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/disk [01:16] desktop [01:16] made my self [01:17] user01, i normally ssh in, and run 'vncserver' - then run the vncclient locally to connect. [01:17] ripper: is your CD-ROM a SATA device? [01:17] timo: Are you using flash 10? [01:17] yep. and i think that the problem syas its looking for ide [01:17] user01, i do NOT normally share the 'current desktop' like windows always does with its vnc service. === hiptobecubic^ is now known as hiptobecubic [01:17] makes no difference sata or IDE [01:17] sata is ide, you should say pata [01:18] bob flash 10. i dint know there was [01:18] soudndray: yes my cd-rom is sata [01:18] i use sata :) [01:18] soundray: yes my cd-rom is sata [01:18] ripper: if yuo use the command i gave it'll mount the cdrom [01:18] ripper: do you happen to have a PATA CD-ROM drive lying around? [01:19] nope just sold old comp [01:19] timo: Well, about the crashes with 9, I usually suggest disabling visual effects, installing libflashsupport, and checking for conflicting plugins like gnash. [01:19] dr_Willis, so . . . i typed in vncserver on my remote computer, ran as sudo [01:19] ripper: have you installed any other OSs yet, or is Ubuntu the first? [01:19] user01, how do i get virtual desktop? [01:20] !vnc | user01 [01:20] user01: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [01:20] bob could you tell me what you see with this site http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ [01:21] soundray: yea i have vista running [01:21] Does ubuntu support Gujin? (GRUB Killer) [01:21] im having a problem booting off of the live cd, i need to boot off of the live cd and chroot in to reset my password because i forgot it [01:21] timo: Shockwave player doesn't run, but Adobe Flash is perfectly fine, (Installation Complete) [01:22] same here [01:22] i get these errors when i try to boot off of the live cd, give me a sec and ill paste them [01:22] Why do you ask, timo? [01:23] incognito, chroot , sudo -i, passwd... [01:23] incognito, if you have a grub menu insalled.. theres ways you can do that without a live cd. I forget how. :) append 'single' to the end of the boot options i think is one way [01:23] could be the cause of the crash and cpu overload. Flash is now working 100% the way it should [01:23] drk_guy i cant get the live cd to load though it errors out [01:23] incognito, scratched cd? [01:23] give me a sec when it gives me the error again ill show you what it says [01:23] cpu: e8600,mobo: gigabyte EP45-DS3R, GPU:Ati hd 4870, cd-rom:samsung sata: [01:24] ripper: I think the install CD chokes on your SATA controller. That doesn't necessarily mean that Ubuntu wouldn't work if you manage to install it somehow. One thing you could try is a wubi install, or have a look at the various non-CD based install methods. [01:24] !install | ripper [01:24] ripper: 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 [01:24] Drk_Guy nope its not scratched [01:24] bobertdos: i might be wrong could just be the way flash works. [01:24] i hate it [01:24] incognito, try pressing F6 and adding apic=off [01:24] incognito, although that's mainly used for old pc's [01:24] incognito: if you're having problems, try "check CD for defects" next time instead of trying to install it [01:24] timo: There's an option you can add that may cut down on CPU usage. [01:25] whats that bob [01:25] ripper: Drk_Guy just reminded me of something -- have you tried adding any kernel boot options? [01:25] incognito: and by check CD, I mean the option you get when you boot from the CD [01:25] lol soundray [01:25] its checking the cd for defects [01:26] soundray: no that a negative [01:26] drk_guy where do i press f6 at? from the boot menu? [01:26] timo: If you create /etc/adobe/mms.cfg, you can add: OverrideGPUValidation=true. That reduces CPU usage significantly for most people. [01:26] incognito, right after the disc asks for language [01:26] ripper: give me a minute to dig something out [01:27] drk_guy it freezes up before i get that far [01:27] man i wish i could install it then have troubles then i would just check the logs and it would be so easy [01:27] ok [01:27] incognito, WTF [01:27] incognito, is your pc really old? [01:28] drk_guy no, 1GB of RAM , intel core 2 duo processor [01:28] do any of you guys know of any screen capture applications so i can stream my screen from ustream? [01:28] my comp is so new ubuntu has no idea what its looking at man i hate being up to date [01:28] iv never had this problem before [01:28] incognito, intel, huh? then your bios must be efi [01:28] ripper: I'm not sure but I've heard it's possible to get the cd into a usb pen and install from there. But that may be harder than to fix your cd-rom problem [01:28] !EFI [01:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about efi [01:28] lol [01:28] drk_guy im not sure this is actually my moms computer, id have to look [01:28] !efi [01:28] file was empty [01:28] carandraug: [01:29] im trying to fix it for her [01:29] carandraug: lol [01:29] incognito, not sure, lemme research a lil [01:29] ripper, may want to check out the Next release thats being worked on. [01:29] ok drk_guy thanks [01:29] ripper: calm down, I've found something for you to try. Do you get a boot: prompt when you boot the alternate CD? [01:30] !uefi [01:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about uefi [01:30] well after i ran "check disk for defects" it completed with no errors im guessing because it just restarted my computer after it was done [01:30] are there any good open/free programs for working wth PDF docs? I need to highlight and write notes etc. [01:30] soundray: yea i get text based install it ask my what language and what type of keyboard i have but then its says its unable to mount cd-rom [01:30] ripper? [01:31] do any of you guys know of any screen capture applications so i can stream my screen from ustream? [01:31] soundray: during the install steps [01:31] @d_dyer,, xvidcap for you [01:31] What is the software he's using to switch from his halo game and his computer at about 1:00? http://www.thewebsiteisdown.com/ [01:31] or istanbul [01:31] i tried that [01:31] ripper: I mean before that. Just after it starts booting, it should give you a prompt where you can enter a kernel boot option [01:31] ustream didnt reconize it [01:31] any one here have any idea how to get their cam to work with flash? [01:32] logitech communicate STX [01:32] soundray: idono [01:32] muont a webcam??? [01:32] <^paradox^> im need of a little help with vlc media player [01:33] timo: You have to create the adobe directory yourself, and also write the file yourself. [01:33] incognito, i think you need a special boot loader [01:33] DAMN you intel [01:33] soundray: do you think i can make a virtual machine to test this stuff out i hate having to keep turning my comp on and off everytime to keep testing these methods [01:33] bob done [01:33] oes anyone know of any ~good~ PHP/web IDEs with debugging support and such? [01:33] whats it, ^paradox^ [01:33] i get errors like this drk_guy [01:33] testing for any improments [01:33] <^paradox^> well its a little confusing is all [01:33] incognito, you need to boot with either elilo or GRUB for EFI [01:34] soundray: and then if i figure out that it will work then install it for real [01:34] buffer i/o error on device sr0, logical block 300587 [01:34] my pc cant webcam how can i mount one??? [01:34] <^paradox^> i insert a cd ok, i go to open disc and can select a track to play [01:34] ripper: sure, you can install ubuntu in virtualbox or vmware, but it's not going to tell you much about how to achieve a native boot [01:34] SQAUSHFS error: unable to read page, block 248cf16a, size 80db [01:34] thats what happens when i try to boot off the live cd [01:34] <^paradox^> no problem [01:35] soundray: thats what i though [01:35] <^paradox^> but skipping to next track with the button seems to have no effect [01:35] ripper: have a look at the bootoptions factoid, and find out how to add boot options with the alternate install CD. Then use this one: generic.all_generic_ide=1 [01:35] !bootoptions | ripper [01:35] ripper: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [01:35] What's the virtual machine/ virtualbox channel? #vmware? [01:35] Drk_Guy: you got any idea? [01:36] <^paradox^> and if i select it in the file browser nothing shows up like the cds empty [01:36] incognito, idk if the loader used by the cd can really interface with efi [01:36] <^paradox^> doing this under xubuntu btw [01:36] soundray: thanks man ill try that out [01:36] Drk_Guy: it worked fine before [01:36] incognito, really?

It solved the problem for me "Ati Radeon 9600XT" [02:00] !webcam | marceloaragorn21 [02:00] marceloaragorn21: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [02:00] Drk_Guy: can you link me to the handbook [02:01] jamrun9: or just 'cat file.mp3 >/dev/audio'. Mind you, you will have to train your brain to do the MP3 decoding. [02:01] soundray: the song loads, loads the data, says 0:00/time... and just doesn't play. [02:01] someone here uses encryption disk? [02:01] cory_: I too had to start from failsafe. I ran the two commands and after reboot everything was fine [02:01] soundray: heh. I'd rather watch youtube recordings. [02:01] carandraug: i have an issue with a crash. the crash occurs before and after i install proprietary drivers. It gets worse if i install the proprietary drivers so i need to fix the crash first. [02:01] what " !webcam | marceloaragorn21" means? [02:01] incognito, ok, pls wait [02:01] marceloaragorn21: it's an automated response to give an answer to a frequently asked question and direct it to the person who asked it. [02:02] jamrun9: tried mplayer? It tends to at least give some meaningful error output. [02:02] any poo eaters here? [02:02] Trying to run screenlets under KDE. It errors out -- doesn't recognize the file format of '/usr/share/icons/screenlets.svg'. That's a soft link to an existing file. Any hints how to get this thing going? [02:02] soundray: I'll grab it.

[02:02] [Mass Message] Everythings back online. have at it. [02:02] Hi People!!!! [02:02] jamrun9: perhaps it's something stupid and you just have to (gasp) reboot [02:02] im trying to chroot into a ubuntu box Drk_Guy [02:02] cory_: you get the crash before you install them? Then the problem shouldn't be of the drivers [02:02] vladimir_ hi motha facka [02:02] any urine drinkers? [02:03] I have vsftpd configured to allow connections from local users. If they connect via nautilus, it opens up into / rather than their home directory. How can I restrict this? [02:03] incognito, read the handbook, it'll tell you how [02:03] thanks [02:03] Django_Newbie: do you have a support question? [02:03] I'm trying to use the instructions here... http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html but its not working [02:03] anyone?

[02:04] hi there~ [02:04] can anyone help me with an bluetooth issue? [02:04] Singer2: I apologize on behalf of this person. We're not all like that [02:04] Vladimir_: I have that name on anoher server [02:04] When Nautilus mounts a samba share, where does it mount to? The address bar shows smb://(computer)/networkingsharing/Folder but the program I'm using requires a discreet path. [02:04] soundray: meh, been having this issue for a while. Amarok was the only player that's worked. [02:04] Singer2, I can try. PM me [02:05] soundray: ok, thanks [02:05] guiless: thanks [02:05] I is out. [02:05] bobertdos: are you there? [02:05] cory_: you can run metacity in the mean time [02:05] c0mp13371331337, i belive technically it dosetn 'mount' it - its just sort of browsing it. [02:05] |channels [02:05] c0mp13371331337, some times ive had to manually mount shares to get all apps to access the data correctly [02:05] I have question for grub.. is there anybody can help me?? [02:05] I'm new to Ubuntu. Using Grsync to back up the OS after install. Which directories are crucial for backing up for OS recovery? [02:05] How can I set adobe acrobat reader to be the default application for pdfs? It is already installed on the comp. [02:05] c0mp13371331337, check the 'mount' command output to see if its actually mounted anywhere. [02:06] !channels [02:06] cory_: Yeah, I'm trying to find a file you can edit. [02:06] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [02:06] I just started to use Linux, ubuntu. [02:06] carandraug: yes im on ubuntu now it works fine. Just no compiz metacity is good. i get a crash sometimes that makes the screen black its odd [02:06] anyone eating poo? [02:06] anyone drinking piss? [02:06] HAI!1 [02:06] carandraug: bobertdos: if i disconnect i crashed ill be back [02:06] Dr_willis_: Crap... I'm downloading a few different distributions to that share right now, so I probably can't mount it to a different location. I think I've tried that in the past with no success, but I'll give it a shot. [02:07] c0mp13371331337, its not hard to manually mount things. :) but i tend to use the smbfuse/fusesmb tools instead of browsing with the gnome filemanager. [02:07] !fusesmb [02:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about fusesmb [02:07] How do i copy my ubuntu to another disk? [02:08] jkristheking: is it on another partition or drive?

[02:09] um? it's on a 40gb right now and im getting a new comuter with a 120gb hdd [02:09] dr_Willis /usr/gayporn and /usr/pooeating [02:09] not big enough [02:09] so whats dd [02:09] !language | Django_Newbie [02:09] Django_Newbie: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:09] is it easy to use? [02:09] Why does my wireless network disconnect every minute and ask me for the key again after I already put it in? is it possible to fix that? [02:09] Django_newbie: play nice [02:09] f u c k [02:09] arnell, i'd say everything except /home [02:09] cory_: but the problems you solve with the open source drivers will mean nothing f you plan on installing the proprietary after that. They will come with their own problems and leave the others behind (if they are indeed related to the open source drivers). In that case, I think it's better to install the proprietray drivers and solve their problems only [02:09] Dr_willis_: Hey, whattaya know, it mounted manually just fine, in addition to the 'browsable' mounting that Nautilus utilizes. Should have just tried that to begin with. Thanks a bunch! [02:10] good way to delete all your data if you are not careful [02:10] poo eating piss drinking f u c k i n g c u n t [02:10] !ops | Django_Newbie [02:10] Django_Newbie: Help! Channel emergency!

[02:10] would there be a prob if I backed up the entire file system directory? [02:11] thanks pici [02:11] c0mp13371331337, yea. I often use very old apps that dont like the way the gnome/kde file managers handle the remote shares. [02:11] unop: Would there be a prob if I backed up the entire file system directory? [02:11] arnell, not at all [02:11] great, thanks! [02:11] arnell, assuming what you mean is the root directory i.e. / [02:12] unop: yes. the entire root / [02:12] carandraug: if i solve the crash on the open source drivers i will stick with them. [02:12] hi all [02:12] it did not work [02:12] unop: no problems correct? [02:12] my webcam is not recognized.... [02:13] is there anything that i can do? [02:13] Is there a list of applications that can be themed to look like their OSX counterparts? For example, instead of using pidgin, I can make kopete looks like iChat. [02:13] arnell, i don't see any [02:13] marceloaragorn21, from what ive seen.. either webcams work.. or they are totally unsuported. [02:13] unop: cool, thanks [02:13] Is there a way to move windows around the desktop without the mouse? like ctrl and arrow keys or something? [02:13] arnell: some special files, like those in /dev, won't backup cleanly with regular copy commands. Try the tar method from the Tips howto. [02:14] cory_: could you pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:14]  marceloaragorn21: usb ? what says lsusb ? [02:14] I'm trying to enable mysql for amarok. I have a mysql database set up on a host on my subnet, I can access phpmyadmin, I have created a database and a user with more than enough privs. For some reason I can't seem to connect to it. apache2 on the same machine can log in and do what's necessary. Am I missing something obvious? [02:14] hiptobecubic, some window managers have that feature. I dont think the default gnome one does.. compiz 'might' have such a feature you could bind to some keys.. but i dontuse compiz [02:14] hiptobecubic, lift the monitor and move it around [02:14] cory_: by the way, is that a new problem after an update or you just installed Ubuntu? [02:14] cory_: Well, we could always disable compiz the tedious way :p [02:14] donkeyofdarkness, as cute as that is, it doesn't even solve the problem. [02:15] i think that is not supported [02:15] Dr_willis_: Yeah, I'm using a Lightscribe app by LaCie. It was intended for Windows but they made a linux port of it. Unfortunately they didn't port the Browse... button to use a kde/gnome browser, so it still has options like My Computer! [02:15] :( [02:15] jkristheking: honestly, it would be best to do some reading about dd before using it, and if at all confused I would advise against it. Clonezilla makes a nice too. Personally, I would suggest loading your new PC from scratch and just moving your data over. I know that is nto what you asked, but honestly, that will give you the best load [02:15] it says Bus 004 Device 004: ID eb1a:2710 eMPIA Technology, Inc. SilverCrest WebCam [02:15] hey guys, i need some serious help getting my sound to work, i have the hp dv4t, it has the IDT HD Audio, I can hear sound right now, but it seems to be going in a loop. I was reading that maybe installing Alsa 1.0.17 might help, so I used the script from: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5131958#post5131958 to install Alsa 1.0.17 [02:15] but im still having the same problem [02:15] soundray: would there still be problems even grsync-ing through sudo grsync? [02:15] i downloaded an iso. i burnt it twice but the disk images were corrupted. i think, there's a problem with the iso file. how do I check the file's integrity? [02:16] c0mp13371331337, yep. Ive noticed that also. you run into that a lot with 3rd party apps. [02:16] carandraug: just installed. [02:16] cory_: I've checked the drivers pages and with the open-source drivers you will only get 2D acceleration [02:16] hiptobecubic: F7 and arrow keys [02:16] the people over here had some luck on very similar hardware using fedora http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=196558, but i don't know how to make heads or tails of it, any help would be greatly appreciated [02:16] marceloaragorn21: might need gspca pkg? [02:16] bobertdos: we can do that later. I dont mind starting in failsafe id rather fix the crash. [02:16] arnell: no, I think rsync is dev-safe [02:16] maybe... [02:16] how can i get it from repository? [02:17] cory_: Well, I am thinking disabling compiz may help the crash. [02:17] marceloaragorn21: sudo ap-get install gspca [02:17] apt [02:17] !md5 | wers [02:17] wers: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [02:17] arnell: don't know about grsync, it may have restrictions versus command line rsync. Have a look through man rsync [02:17] thanks, unop :) [02:17] couldn't find the pkg [02:18] cory_: Because see, what's happening is that X is crashing, which almost has to do with either the video card, the way Xorg.conf is set up, and/or compiz. [02:18] carandraug: Id like to be able to use the computer. [02:18] cory_: bobertdos: specially because with the open source drivers, her drive has no 3D acceleration. I thought it was needed for compiz https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [02:18] bobertdos: Its off though. Im using failsafe it wont load on failsafe for obvious reasons. [02:18] it's in synaptic [02:18] i tried sudo apt-get install gspca* [02:18] soundray: K, Thanks.

[02:19] marceloaragorn21: it's a kernel module [02:19] Is there a way to disable the scrollwheel changing the workspace with Gnome/compiz?

Then when I rebooted, it went back to eth0: link is not ready and the LEDs don't light up [02:24] Joelito, sudo apt-get install ffmpeg, then ffmpeg -i flv mpg [02:24] :D [02:24] SheissDrogen: did you know anything about this type of camera?

[02:26] : (ScheissD..) , marceloaragorn21: is it http://www.mysilvercrest.de/de/artikel.php?a=128 [02:26] ok Drk_Guy , so i assume that by current release its stable? :) [02:26] compu73rg33k: could it be the laptop ethernet socket? [02:26] unop: ONLY in my room on hardwire in linux - works on windows, works in other rooms (linux & windows), wireless works (just not wireless here in my room!) [02:26] TSCDan: well, it's big because compiz has lots of options. Can't find it now maybe because I updated to Intrepid. The option may have changed place [02:26] nnull, yes, i think you're coming from debian, right? [02:26] yeh [02:26] Drk_Guy: pygtk or gtk-perl [02:27] what's the best way to resize a ton of pictures all to 800x600? [02:27] unop: no and yes. I've tried staticly defining it and for a while that worked (but only if I unplugged the desktop ethernet cable). Right now though no it doesn't. I also put auto eth0 at the top for a while and that made no difference [02:27] * bobertdos is very afraid to try Ubuntu with a computer that isn't five years old [02:27] carandraug: Do you remember what it was called? I've found the option for Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right which accomplishes the same task, just with a different input obviously. [02:27] Joelito, there are ffmpeg gtk and python bindings arounf there [02:27] amirman, imagemagic/convert and a bash for loop. [02:27] soundray: I woudln't think so b/c it works in Windows perfectly [02:27] SheissDrogen: no, unfortunately not.... [02:27] amirman: mogrify -scale (from the imagemagick package) [02:27] soundray: and it also works on linux and windows in other people's dorms [02:27] bobertdos, why? [02:27] ok [02:27] TSCDan: sorry but no. It's one of the first things I disabled [02:27] bobertdos: I crashed. i took some pictures of what happened [02:27] Drk_Guy: ow >.<, well...another one, by me XD [02:28] carandraug: Ok, thanks. I'll keep looking. [02:28] Joelito, XD === cory is now known as Guest92677 [02:28] compu73rg33k, ok, the 'ignoring interface eth0' is probably due to the fact eth0 is not defined in the interfaces file. [02:28] unop: soundray: thanks, i'll check out imagemagick [02:28] hello. i'm trying to install cod4 using an iso image that i have. Any idea on how to do this? I know it's possible with other games but I can't find anything online for doing it with cod4. [02:28] SheissDrogen: and i do not know the model... :( [02:28] bobertdos: I just built a PC with brand new components, everything worked with Ubuntu out of the box. Had to load a bunch of drivers into Windows, and some of the drivers weren't even able to be installed because it crashed Windows. +1 internets for Ubuntu. [02:29] Drk_Guy: Because this computer is old, therefore its hardware is mature and has been supported in Ubuntu for a long time. Part of me cringes at the idea of trying it with newer, less mature components. [02:29] compu73rg33k: okay, software then... but it's definitely weird... [02:29] What is the best way to create a user that a daemon will run under? [02:29] compu73rg33k, I strongly suspect a problem with the module for your ethernet card. -- do you have a live CD to test ? [02:29] hi, this is just a minor annoyance, but i figure someone here will know the fix... every time i boot, the wireless applet prompts me for the password for the default keyring... can i just have that saved so that I won't have to type the password after every boot? [02:29] pingveno, the same way you would create a normal user. [02:29] Yeah, I tried booting up into Slax and it didn't work in Slax either! [02:29] bobertdos, my pc has some of the latest components, and everything works, but i had to install nvidia driver ;p [02:29] I obviously also tried various Ubuntu distros [02:30] <`Matir> NBrepresent, it should auto-unlock if your keyring password = your user password [02:30] : (ScheissD.. , please type/copy correct)) , marceloaragorn21: this the one i found on the database supported , try !hw to look agai; anyway see/try the easycam link on : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [02:30] compu73rg33k, ubuntu distros? [02:30] unop: I'm looking for something that won't show up in kdm. [02:30] Also tried different architectures (i386, amd64) [02:30] `Matir: they are the same, but it doesn't auto-unlock [02:30] (X/K/U)buntu [02:30] Would that just be a uid below 1000? [02:30] pingveno, see the adduser manpage on creating system users [02:30] Ah [02:30] The strangest thing too is that it worked for the first day! .. just hasn't worked since [02:31] Of course [02:31] compu73rg33k, those are not distros, but VARIANTS [02:31] :p [02:31] That makes sense. [02:31] right :P [02:31] c0mp13371331337, Drk_Guy: I mean, it does work on my laptop, which is a considerably newer system, but I had to wait SO long for audio and wifi support to come for it, :p [02:31] SheissDrogen: it is like this one, except for the base: http://www.cliptec.com/samerica/feature-zw221.html [02:31] cory_: you're back I see. Take a look at this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/RadeonXpress [02:31] bobertdos, not really, if you have atheros chip, madwifi is for you [02:31] bobertdos: http://img183.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1000750qp3.jpg [02:31] heyy does anyone wonna chat [02:31] unop: how should I explicitly define eth0 in my interfaces? auto eth0 good enough or should I elaborate somehow? [02:32] I really don't think I should be staticly assigning it an IP b/c it'd be hard to guess one someone else isn't using, you know? [02:32] hey anyone wonna chat [02:32] !offtopic | LONELYGUY17 [02:32] LONELYGUY17: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:32] What packages does one need to mount UDF filesystems?

Everything works now, I'm just saying that when I first got it, I had to wait a while for things to get better support. I'd rather not have to go through such a long waiting period for a new desktop. I think things are catching up now though, so it's not such a big deal anymore. [02:33] cory_: hmm, I think it means you have to adjust your v-sinc and h-sinc at xorg.conf [02:33] carandraug: thats what happens during a crash, but i can still use ctrl + alt + f1 to go to that menu and ctrl + alt + delete to restart. [02:33] anyone wonna chat [02:33] compu73rg33k, or if you are allowed to use a static address (even for a moment) try doing that [02:34] crandraug: Maybe that would work. Only way to know is to try. How do I do that? [02:34] unop: should I leave /etc/resolv.conf blank, or should I copy my desktop version? [02:34] bobertdos, if you choose nvidia chipset, you're off, they're entirely supported (except for GFX cards ) [02:34] compu73rg33k, errm, if your interfaces get addresses from DHCP servers, chances are that /etc/resolv.conf is regenerated each time [02:34] hey who will teach me russian [02:35] !ot [02:35] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:35] Drk_Guy: Well, truth be told, installing proprietary drivers for either brand doesn't really bother me. [02:35] unop: yeah it does, i was just wondering if setting it at the beginning would help [02:35] I searched udf in synaptic and installed everything and it still won't mount [02:35] I was thinking maybe it's a problem with ipv6? Is there a way to turn that off on a network card and test only using ipv4 ? [02:35] What packages does one need to mount UDF filesystems? [02:35] bobertdos, ok [02:36] anyone run ubuntu server with selinux? [02:36] compu73rg33k, errm, perhaps .. you could prepend a known-to-work DNS server to use [02:36] anyone wonna chat [02:36] compu73rg33k, see /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf on prepending nameservers [02:36] 4.1.1.1 for example [02:36] LONELYGUY17, please go elsewhere [02:36] !ot | LONELYGUY17, [02:36] LONELYGUY17,: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:36] why???

[02:37] which one general chat room === cory is now known as cory_ [02:37] cory_: I may be wrong but that may be a monitor problem and not a graph card problem.

[02:39] What packages does one need to mount UDF filesystems? [02:41] how to make a search with apt-get ? [02:41] cory_: you have to add a section like this to your xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/44735/ By the way, that's what I meant by pastebin, not to PM all the file === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:41] omar: apt-cache search [02:41] unop: I prepended the DNS server and then on /etc/init.d/networking restart it says "DHCPRELEASE on eth0 to 129.79.1.13 port 67; send_packet: Network is unreachable;" [02:41] kousotu, thx [02:41] no prob [02:41] What packages does one need to mount UDF filesystems? [02:42] I don't know where it's getting 129.79.1.13 though, I specified 130.126.2.131 [02:42] !mythbuntu [02:42] Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information [02:42] whats a PVR system [02:42] and 129.xx.xx.xx are university domain stuff, so I think it's getting that address from *something* ... although the LEDsa r e still off on the network card [02:43] carandraug: how do I know my information. I did notice that my screen position is different on windows than it is on linux. [02:43] kousotu: nothing particular, but have to specify in mount or fstab [02:43] ScheissDrogen: how do I do that? [02:44] unop: hold on - we have this really wierd setup where and RJ-11 connector connects into the RJ-45 jack in the wall, which then the ethernet cable w/ RJ-11 connector plugs into a little 4-port hub. I'm going to try to plug my laptop directly into the wall and see if that does anything [02:44] this network setup in the room is so weird too with the RJ-11 connectors going into RJ-45 jacks [02:44] kousotu: see man mount [02:45] !fstab [02:45] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [02:45] hi [02:45] I want to know how to mount a .000 image (dd) of a USB pendrive [02:45] cory_: you'll have to look on the monitor specifications. What's your monitor? Brand and model [02:45] ScheissDrogen: it does not benefit me to read up, for it's only one CD I need to mount [02:46] Keep getting the following errors when trying to install cdemu. any ideas why? http://paste.ubuntu.com/44734/ [02:47] anyone ? [02:47] is there any linux distros that are easier to use and more visually stunning than ubuntu? its easier than windows even [02:47] kousotu: from a cd it should be no problem, it a widely used standard next to iso [02:47] Lite-On technology corp. Model No.:B17AAU Type No:B17ANU Input: 1000-240V ~,0.9A 50-60hz [02:47] ScheissDrogen: it keeps saying "unable to mount" something I'm missing? [02:47] is it possible to edit the main menu's icon (by Applications Places System) without changing the theme? [02:48] unop: back - no go, i tried staticly defining eth0 too and then ifconfig up eth0 but stil nothing happened - I'm confident you can't get a connection plugging righti nto the wall. We have these 5-port workgroup hubs thaty ou ahve to plug into [02:48] i finally figured out how to get my network adapter card working with ndiswrapper [02:49] any help with virtualbox [02:49] carandraug: Lite-On technology Corp. Model No.:B17AAU Type No.:B17ANU Input: 100-240V ~,0.9A 50-60hz [02:49] kousotu: device name of your rom ? /dev/scd0 ? [02:49] dewente: what's the problem? [02:50] compu73rg33k, I would suspect problems with the network card's module - If i were you, i would see if building the module from source help - or perhaps trying the same module under a different kernel (and older one perhaps) [02:50] hi, i have a laptop with xubuntu in it.. but my keyboard hasnt got this key ">" is it any way of adding it?? [02:50] unop: well trying it under a different kernel (older) would have been tested when trying to use an old Slax Cd right? [02:51] carandraug: Just thought you'd like to know: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3601379&postcount=6 Thanks for the pointer to CCSM though, great util :) [02:51] ScheissDrogen: it's the first CD drive, with a floopy and another as well [02:51] I want to know how to mount a .000 image (dd) of a USB pendrive [02:51] anyone ? [02:51] I'm thinking of maybe installing gentoo and that will force me to compile the kernel - or maybe I should try in ubuntu first - do you have a guide I could look at to get started? [02:51] ad0n: look into loop mounts [02:51] compu73rg33k, errm, not necessarily .. also, there might be problems with kernels from a specific release onwards. [02:51] hi. how can i install "dot" package in my ubuntu [02:51] ScheissDrogen: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. [02:52] dres: tried, unsuccessfully [02:52] hi, i have a laptop with xubuntu in it.. but my keyboard hasnt got this key ">" is it any way of adding it?? [02:52] TSCDan: glad you figured it out. Yes, it's a freat util, don't know why it doesn't come installed by default [02:52] is it a raw image? [02:52] unop: well, again ubuntu works perfectly anywhere else on campus - the problem is isolated to my dorm room only, so I don't really think it's a module problem, wouldn't you think? [02:52] if i go next door, I can plug right in and it works [02:53] ad0n: is it a raw image? [02:53] brian_herman: I think so [02:53] (almost sure) [02:53] Now... anybody know of any ways to get WPA Enterprise to work on a hidden network? NetworkManager just sits there trying to connect and eventually falls back to my default network. I know it exists and the card can connect because it works on XP. [02:54] cory_: is that a LCD monitor? [02:54] unop: is there a way I could find out the IP of the hub in my room? [02:54] and I'd test to see if it can at least ping the hub [02:54] is it possible to edit the main menu's icon (by Applications Places System) without changing the theme? [02:54] carandraug: yes from 2002. Its old. [02:54] Keep getting the following errors when trying to install cdemu. any ideas why? http://paste.ubuntu.com/44734/ [02:54] compu73rg33k, quite possibly. though i can't say for sure. the module might be misbehaving due to an unusual setup in your room. could you try another hub/switch? [02:55] TSCDan: custom network connection, it should have access to that network if you manually type it [02:55] compu73rg33k, hubs and switches don't have IP addresses - they don't work at the IP layer [02:55] ScheissDrogen: ideas? [02:55] Is there a package which replaces my firefox(64-bit) with firefox(32-bit) ? [02:55] brian_herman: any ideas ? [02:55] cory_: http://www.eserviceinfo.com/download.php?fileid=13520 [02:56] ad0n: did you try using mount? [02:56] compu73rg33k, all hubs do is forward electrical signals .. all switches do is forward ethernet frames [02:56] Hmm yeah maybe I'll ask to borrow the neighbor's hub when I get a chance [02:56] mikejet: no [02:56] brian_herman: yeah, but no sure if in a correct way [02:56] interesting, thanks for the info [02:56] kousotu: That's what I was doing, manually entering the information with "Connect to other network" [02:56] mikejet: why do you want it? [02:56] brian_herman: how would the syntax be ? [02:56] And I am almost certain that it is correct because I am mimicking the settings used on XP that work. [02:56] ad0n: mount [02:56] carandraug: how do i extract a rar file? [02:57] unrar [02:57] TSCDan: no idea then, sorry [02:57] cory_: unrar or I believe 7zip can [02:57] cory_: just right click on it and select extract here [02:57] !rar > cory_ [02:57] cory_, please see my private message [02:57] I;m gonna reboot the PC and see what happens, brb guys [02:57] compu73rg33k, are the switches/hubs provided by the university? [02:57] yeah unop [02:58] I have my own switch - but as i told you they have an ethernet cable with RJ-11 connectors [02:58] cory_: if you can't, sudo apt-get install unrar" [02:58] compu73rg33k, do you know if they are programmable? === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [02:58] compu73rg33k, RJ-11 ? that's very unusual [02:58] unop: not sure, how could I find out :) - I'm sure it'd prob be against something, but I doubt they'd find out - there's 35,000 people here [02:58] brian_herman: once mounted, how can I see the device properties ? I mean the SN, model, etc [02:58] cory_: the h and v sinc values depend on the reolsution and refresh rate you choose. There's a table for your monior in page 7 of the pdf inside that rar [02:59] brian_herman: since it's a pendrive [02:59] I KNOW it's so strange! RJ-11 connectors on ETHERNET cable plugging into RJ-45 jacks - a serious wtf IMO [02:59] ad0n uh... i dont know [02:59] jrib : my flash always crashes on my x86_64 firefox. [02:59] !flash64 > mikejet [02:59] mikejet, please see my private message [02:59] compu73rg33k, well, the reason i asked is - because if they are, like on some campus network, there might be a misconfiguration with it [02:59] jrib : just go to a webpage with 15 embeded youtubes and npviewer.bin flipps out. [02:59] kousotu: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [03:00] how can I see the device properties of a mounted USB image ? I mean the SN, model, etc [03:00] mikejet: I know, I have the same issues. I hate flash [03:00] kousotu: pastebinit /etc/fstab , give me url [03:00] ah unop how would I be able to get in and program it? [03:00] compu73rg33k, but yea, i wouldn't advise you change anything (even if you could) - get your campus netadmin to do that .. perhaps you could contact your university helpdesk? [03:00] how can I see the device properties of a mounted USB image ? I mean the SN, model, etc [03:00] is it possible to edit the main menu's icon (by Applications Places System) without changing the theme? [03:01] Yeah I should try, but they obviously don't give Linux support and since it's working in Windows, I'm not sure they'd even know what to do [03:01] ad0n: that information might just be on the Pendrive === ascott_afk is now known as ascott [03:01] they'd be like ...use windows? [03:01] jrib: also I'm looking for a 32-bit version of libnss3.so because I'm compiling a 32-bit program. (why don't they install that?) [03:01] ad0n: not on the image [03:01] and I'd be like *deep sigh* [03:01] compu73rg33k, errm, depends on the particular device - some are accessible via serial cables, some by a management ip address, some via SNMP [03:01] brian_herman: that's the problem. I don't have the pendrive [03:01] ad0n: i dont think that is possible [03:02] ad0n: without the pendrive [03:02] ok [03:02] ad0n: that information is not on the image just raw data [03:02] how do i get the nm-applet off the top gnome panel and onto the bottom one? there is no "move" option in the menus [03:02] kousotu: ? [03:02] compu73rg33k, ahh well, do try out someone else's switch if you can, you could rule out problems with the switch that way. [03:02] carandraug: my settings would be mode 14 on the table. [03:03] same question for the batter power indicator [03:03] Yeah - my desktop and roommate's laptop work fine in here though, but I should still try switching the hub [03:03] yates: right click on the bar , add btw delete from ?! [03:03] compu73rg33k, anyway, bedtime for me, i'm off - hope you resolve the problem -- else, request a dorm change :) [03:03] haha, that's a good idea :) === aidinux-user58 is now known as freend2 [03:04] cory_: you're sure? Never saw someone with that resolution. You sure you're not mistaking it by 1024*768? If not, why not mode 15 (higher refresh rate)? &0Hz makes my head hurt [03:04] also, has anyone noticed that the touchpad seems to lose its "double-click-and-hold" to drag ability (as well as vertical scroll-bar) randomly? logging out and back in seems to restore it, but what a pain. [03:04] !flash64 > mikejet [03:05] mikejet, please see my private message [03:05] ScheissDrogen: huh? "btw..." [03:05] ok, I still can't get my wireless card to work on my thinkpad R500 in Hardy. [03:05] yates: right click on the bar , add or delete from ?! [03:05] carandraug: In windows i can set it to either. I cant really tell the difference between 60 and 70. But yes that is my resolution [03:05] trying to install Ubuntu on [03:05] How can i use 'ls' to display size of the overall contents of a directory. [03:06] hello all [03:06] thanks for your help unop [03:06] what is "?|"? [03:06] I've installed the recently released new firmware and the wireless card can connect to the network, but dhclient can't get an IP address. [03:06] chamunks: use du -sh instead [03:07] there is no option "add or delete" - there is "add to panel" and "delete panel" that i see [03:07] chamunks : man du [03:07] installing Ubuntu on Acer Aspire one laptop i get error msg "udevd-event [1140]: run program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit" [03:07] it has a 8GB SSD drive [03:07] jrib, Well thankyou. :) [03:08] i've tried kubuntu also with same error [03:08] is it possible to edit the main menu's icon (by Applications Places System) without changing the theme? [03:08] ScheissDrogen, I've never even seen du thanks [03:08] !nm-applet [03:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about nm-applet [03:08] np [03:08] ScheissDrogen, this will be useful [03:08] is it possible to edit the main menu's icon (by Applications Places System) without changing the theme? [03:08] cory_: then search in your xorg.conf for the monitor section and use the values in the 3rd and 4rth column [03:09] cory_: something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/44745/ [03:10] installing Ubuntu on Acer Aspire One laptop i get error msg "udevd-event [1140]: run program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit" [03:11] jrib : is there a version of firefox3 that's 32-bit? that seems weird I have to go back to 2. [03:12] Often I find myself interested in installing more up-to-date versions of software than ubuntu's synaptic/aptitude/apt-get offers. Is there a way to point those tools at bleeding-edge repositories? [03:12] carandraug: like this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/44746/ [03:13] cory_: yes. I hope that solves it. [03:13] how do i get a list of services currently running (from the command line, as root)? === sekrit is now known as Charitwo [03:14] i want to check if sshd is running [03:14] I anyone here using Intrepid Ibex? Nobody is responding in #ubuntu+1. [03:14] never mind - ps did the trick === michae is now known as michaesaur [03:14] carandaug: crash i never saved. repost your example lease [03:15] cory_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44745/ <- but this would be for mode 15 [03:16] cory_: pastebin all your xorg.conf after your changes [03:16] i have problems configing the vi [03:18] carandraug: It says i cant save the file. [03:18] yates man ps , see also man top [03:18] carandraug: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44748/ This is what it is updated [03:18] carandraug: wont let me save directly to the xorg.conf though [03:19] is there a pci wireless adapter that has been proven to work perfectly with linux like with no issues what so ever [03:19] cory_: you have to open the file with root permissions. Run in the the terminal "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" Also, make a backup of the old file (just in case) [03:19] !sudo | cory_ [03:19] cory_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [03:20] hola, I'm trying to search Synaptic for "lamp" yet I'm not getting lamp as a result. Am I searching for the right stuff? [03:21] !lamp [03:21] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [03:21] how do i get a list of services from the command line?

Can't reconnect, reboot seems to fix it. I can also sometimes get back on by hitting the disconnect a few times, but it does not always work. [03:48] just host give me an other ip [03:48] my current motherboards networking doesnt work right, i am selling it and i want to make sure i get one with decent support [03:48] i cant reboot or shutdown while logged in gnome. any idea why?

Also, when I installed the restricted I didn't run those commands (like it's advised to do). When I rebooted I had a white screen. I had to enter in failsafe and then I run those commands [03:48] ASrock: i think I can help. The best page I have found so far is the fsf page: http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/ [03:48] jeber: the host system should be doing nat for you. You should be able to change the settings in the preferences of the guest system so it gets one fromo the dhcp. [03:49] How to do that [03:49] type ping arenaladdres.com and then host arenaladders.com i get diff ip address [03:49] ScheissDrogen: i've downloaded the file (ATI Catalyst™ 8.8 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver), what should i do? [03:49] wers: hardy ? no idea [03:49] PING arenaladders.com (209.51.149.165) 56(84) bytes of data [03:49] cory_: it's probably best to restore it to what it was.

[04:11] I am a junior in the Linux system [04:11] Some games do not work with me [04:11] and blender dosen't work [04:11] my vga is ATI Radeon 2100 [04:11] 1Giga [04:11] carandraug: no. But it could crash. If it does I dont know what im going to do :) [04:11] prog077: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:12] ScheissDrogen, the screen moves to quickly, i only spotted the [Fail] in the recovery mode [04:12] carandraug: I have my hopes up. if i disconnect you know what happened. How long will you be on? [04:12] ScheissDroge1: I changed /etc.fstab and am rebooting it - thnx :) [04:12] */etc/fstab [04:12] ScheissDrogen: done, it says installation is complete, log file stored at blah, the driver will now be configured in basic mode, for advanced config run aticonfig..., if xserver fails to load, run... at the console [04:13] cory_: let's hope not. I won't stay on for much longer (it's 4am here, I'm only at the computer because of your problem) [04:13] Theeb: Hold up, its an easy fix, I just gotta remember it [04:13] Theeb: MY internet used to suck, and itd happen all the time [04:13] carandraug: oh you are in europe [04:13] carandraug: Thanks for your dedication [04:13] cory_: yeah. Portugal. But let's not go off-topic [04:14] bobito, ok :) [04:14] hello everyone [04:14] lu31415: k, remeber the sudo cp-cmd (maybe write down), if graphicalsys won't restart (then use terminal to cp it back) and now.. [04:14] carandraug: give it 10 minutes. [04:14] ScheissDrogen: I think i did get this far on a couple of occasions, but then i'd log on, and the screen would be blank - and i chose an option at startup to fix x, and things would be back to normal - colours would be off in all but one resolution, couldn't set refresh rate, no 3d... [04:14] Theeb: Can't find the webpage I usually use to double check, but here: [04:15] can someone tell me how to change the ubuntu icon on the menu bar (applications,places,system) [04:15] cory_: in the mean time, pastebin "glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"" [04:15] Theeb: no errors at the up-cmd's ? search /var/log log-files to figure that packet [04:15] carandraug: what is that? [04:15] Theeb: in console sudo apt-get install -f, sudo apt-get clean && apt-get autoclean, sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [04:16] someone help me with grub [04:16] hello everyone [04:16] thanks, ScheissDrogen and bobito . [04:16] Theeb: I think theres one more, but that should take care of it if I remember correctly. If not, the terminal output should prolly tell the problem, and you'll just need to reinstall somethin === Lati1 is now known as Latis [04:16] i hate big channels [04:16] can someone tell me how to change the ubuntu icon on the menu bar (applications,places,system) [04:16] lu31415: k, then : sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (will log you off, cu soon, hopefully) [04:17] spinull: Yes Sir! [04:17] bobito, i get that : E: Command line option ',' [from -f,] is not known. [04:17] i have looked for a couple ways to do it. no luck yet. i posted on a forum, and this seemed like the next best thing [04:17] im trying to get hte boot splash to view [04:17] cory_: to check if it's ok and if you have 3D effects going fine [04:17] keppi: all i get is an error message [04:17] spinull: what is the error message? [04:17] bobito: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean <--- that command is redundant [04:17] says it can't find the file [04:17] splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz [04:18] if someone could pm me with any help that would be awesome [04:18] i used that line [04:18] however, my root partition is on /dev/hda5 [04:18] danbhfive: Really? damn, never knew [04:18] danbhfive: thanks [04:18] cory_: also, run "glxgears" It should show you 3 cogs moving [04:18] so i also tried (hd0,4) also [04:18] carandraug: I crashed [04:19] or if you could tell me where to go for help i am willing to do that too [04:19] Theeb: 'sudo apt-get install -f' gave you an error? [04:19] cory_: damn. Was it after running that command? [04:19] bobito: clean clears out _everything_ and autoclean only clears the old stuff. But since you run clean first, there is nothing, so autoclean does nothing [04:19] carandraug: glxgears works fine. [04:19] is anyone here using a wireless pci adapter that didnt reqire any drivers at all, just worked out of the box? [04:19] bobito: (thats the detailed explination) [04:19] carandraug: and no i never got to enter the command [04:19] the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent#Method%202:%20Copying%20the%20ISO%20CD%20image%20to%20the%20USB%20drive seem to be for Ubuntu v7, and mention a folder on the install named disctree, which is not present on the 8.04 iso i am using. am i missing something important here? [04:19] danbhfive: good to know [04:20] hmm, I'm unable to access my /var/www directory after installing LAMP :3 says I've no permissions :( How would I change such a thing? [04:20] any ideas [04:20] ? [04:20] ScheissDrogen: ok, so i'll execute that last command now, and, if screen is blank at startup, do sudo cp (path to installer on desktop)? [04:20] bobito, nvm i copied the whole thing lol [04:20] 1400 x 1050, is that the highest resolution that ubuntu can go to? [04:20] cory_: is this "crash" the one that gives you that text about "Out of range" in the monitor? [04:20] Theeb: sorry bout that : ) [04:20] well...is there a cosmetic section for ubuntu? [04:20] lu31415: nope, but.. [04:21] nate__: using Gnome? [04:21] yes [04:21] asasa [04:21] 8.04 [04:21] nate__: www.gnome-look.org [04:21] lu31415:first copy your actual xorg.conf as a recovery-backup : sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.borkbackup [04:21] carandraug: no its the one that goes "Whitescreen- HAHA you cant do anything now" [04:21] haihai..... [04:21] i have tried there. [04:21] siapo ini [04:21] i mean the icon in the panel will not change [04:21] lu31415: reverse the two files [04:21] spinull: Did you look in /boot/grub to see if the file exists? [04:21] yes [04:21] it does [04:22] its an ugly orange ubuntu icon. i made my own that fits my theme [04:22] and cannot replace it [04:22] bobito, i get that error for the clean : E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [04:22] lu31415:: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.borkbackup /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:22] lu31415:: hopefully won't need it [04:22] how to configure the look and feel of evolution? is there a theme? [04:22] ScheissDrogen: i've already executed that command, before the install, shall i do it again now, or afterwards, if it wont log on? [04:23] lu31415:: ???? [04:23] Theeb: use sudo [04:23] this is worthless [04:23] good evening. have a question: I've installed ms fonts and my desktop fonts look fine. But inside some applicaitons (especially firefox) they're still looking bad. Any ideas? [04:23] Theeb: Its just saying that without sudo, you don't have permission to use clean [04:23] lu31415:: we did a backup once, if probs occur after logging out, you can cp it back with the last cp-cmd I gave you [04:24] lu31415:: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.borkbackup /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:24] ScheissDrogen: ok, that's what I mean :) [04:24] lu31415:: hopefully won't need it [04:24] spinull: Sorry, I don't know. [04:24] lu31415: k, then : sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (will log you off, cu soon, hopefully) [04:24] bobito, its weird, i used sudo [04:24] ScheissDrogen: ok, thanks, hope to be back too! [04:25] Theeb: are you running another package manager? [04:25] ScheissDrogen: (but somehow I have a bad feeling... bad karma, I think :)) [04:25] jeff_ I don't use the MS TTS fonts I use Bitream fonts [04:25] hi everyone [04:25] if anyone can help me with an icon customization please PM ME [04:25] Theeb: what are you trying to do anyway? [04:26] jeff_ lol that's Bitstream [04:26] jebblue: where do you get those? I used MS fonts successfully on my old machine, but now I've upgraded and I can't get back to my old configuration [04:26] Got my wireless almost working - I can select it, asked for passphrase but not getting an ip address [04:26] danbhfive, no im not running another package manager, im trying to fix a broken package that recovery mode reports but i dont know which one [04:26] i just created filter rule in evolution, where's the place to check all the filters created? [04:26] Theeb: you mean you typed 'sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean' and it still didn't work? When i first typed it I lef tout the sudos, it was my bad [04:27] cory_: I'm checking the ubuntu forums As I really don't know what else to do. ATI graphs cards are really a pain [04:27] !lamp [04:27] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [04:27] THEME HELP PLEASE PM ME!!!!!!!!!!!! [04:27] jeff_ should be on Ubuntu by default. right click desktop then Change Background then Fonts and make them all Bitstream [04:27] does anyone here know of istallation probloms with sata drives b/c during alturnate cd install it say it can not mount cd-rom [04:27] Theeb: And as dan pointed out, you apparently don't even have to type all that. if sudo apt-get clean works, then thats all you need, instead of the whole big statement sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean [04:27] cory_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3807451&highlight=200+xpress#post3807451 <-- same problem as you [04:27] I would like help enabling compiz [04:28] Hi all. I recently upgraded to Hardy...on 6.10 I used to plug my camera dock in, power on my camera and everything worked. Now, nothing at all. I can't even mount the volume. Any ideas? [04:28] Theeb: can you pastebin the error? [04:28] !ask nate_ [04:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask nate_ [04:28] damn [04:28] when i do sudo apt-get clean, nothing happens [04:28] carandraug:ati works fine for me [04:28] !ask | nate_ [04:28] nate_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:28] Can someone please explain how to change the user name @ login? [04:29] Worst part is, it shows up under the computer places (the camera), but I cannot access it nor my second hard drive, apparently [04:29] jebblue: Not bad, but yahoo.com still looks crappy to me. [04:29] how can I change my password? [04:29] admin password [04:29] ScheissDrogen: some work, some don't. But to get an ATI card to work in linux is usually seen as harder. That doesn't mean some cards don't work fine [04:29] how do I stream .wsx in ubuntu? [04:30] Theeb: Success? [04:30] jeff_ it looks as good to me as it did on the other Os and that isn't saying much lol [04:30] Any idea's on why I wouldn't get an IP address from my wireless? [04:30] RediXe - sudo dhclient wlan0 does it give you an error? [04:30] jeff_ you have to restart Firefox for some font changes [04:30] jebblue: lol. right. [04:30] Unable to open 'mms://207.246.197.162/vod/PlayMovie.wsx? is the error message that I get in VLC media player [04:30] bobito, nope , i might have to reboot [04:31] frostbyt3:man pwd [04:31] jebblue: it's the bold fonts that really get me [04:31] huh? [04:31] jeff_ in Yahoo? [04:31] Theeb: what happened? [04:31] bobito, when i type sudo apt-get clean, nothing happens. [04:32] jebblue: yes [04:32] jeff_ I don't like their bold fonts either but that's their site [04:32] No DHCPOFFERS received [04:32] RediXe - sudo iwconfig wlan0 what does that say? [04:32] Theeb: Nothing will show in the terminal, that means it doesn't have an error [04:32] RediXe - you may need to sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid YOURSSID and set the encryption and yada yada and then try dhclient again. [04:32] Theeb: after you type the command, do you get the $ icon again with the blinking cursor? [04:32] bobito, yes. [04:33] Theeb: the command apt-get clean doesn't give any output, see if everything works now [04:33] Theeb: cross your fingers : ) [04:33] mindrape - wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801 .. that mean anything? [04:33] how to changfe the PW in terminal? [04:34] jeff_ I tried switching to Classic, much better to me [04:34] jebblue: is it possible to get Tachoma font? [04:34] RediXe - probably something bad. :P Is this by chance a USB wireless device [04:34] frostbyt3, passwd username [04:34] bobito, ok success :), brb need reboot [04:34] k [04:34] jeff_ dunno don't see it in Synaptic [04:34] jebblue: I don't see classic [04:34] tj83: don't understand [04:34] in 8.04, I sorta fused the top and bottom default panels but now, the option to go wireless on my laptop is missing, I can only use the wired mode... what button am I supposed to put back ? [04:34] mindrape - Nope, it's just a Dell Latitude D620 Laptop [04:35] jeff_ right hand page, Options right click [04:35] RediXe - lspci does the wireless show up as identified appropriately? Hows about lsmod? Proper drivers loaded for it? [04:35] frostbyt3, assuming frostbyt3 is your system user name, then in terminal enter "sudo passwd frostbyt3 " [04:35] ;/ [04:35] Gah [04:35] Hi. I'm trying to use the QCad drafting program to lay out some rental property. I'm beginning to get the hang of it, but I need to know the best way to represent walls. Lines don't work well because walls have thickness and lines don't. [04:35] ScheissDrogen: back - didn't have to do anything to log on, but everything looks the same as before... [04:36] jebblue: sorry for being dim, but you lost me there [04:36] cory_: crashed again? [04:36] jeff_ See Mobil, Options sorry left click on options [04:36] carandraug: that problem isnt the same. I think im going to give up on linux until i get different hardware [04:36] thanks guys! [04:36] carandraug: ive spent upwards on 20 hours on this. [04:36] hello? [04:37] lu31415: fine, apps> ati-controlcenter, there you go.. hopefully [04:37] Hi everyone. [04:37] jebblue: sorry again, what application are you in? [04:37] jeff_ Yahoo [04:37] cory_, i spend months before i got my hardware right... but then i found IRC :) [04:37] jeff_ oh Mail [04:37] ScheissDrogen: yes, they're there, and two of them: one has super-user in front of it, which one should i pick? [04:38] lu31415: su [04:38] cory_: you can always try different distros. I'm not an expert in this area so I can't be of much more help [04:38] mindrape - lspci: 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 01); lsmod: Not real sure what I'm looking for; It is a broadcom and I have the fwcutter installed and I believe the right driver. I can see the wireless networks. [04:39] RediXe - well maybe wmaster0 is irrelevant as long as wlan0 is showing stuff properly. [04:39] Where do I find the 32-bit version of -lstdc++ , for use on a x86_64 ubuntu? [04:39] ScheissDrogen: hum, a warning window pops up: initialization error, there was a problem initializing catalyst contro center linux edition. It could be caused by the following: no ati graphics driver is installed, or the ati driver is not functioning properly. please install the ati driver appropriate for your ati hardware, of configure using aticonfig [04:39] RediXe - the only thing is, does your access point use encryption? I think some drivers have troubles connecting to an AP w WEP... [04:39] jebblue: ok. But that only affects yahoo mail, not the main page, right? [04:40] lu31415: which monitor do you use ? exact (and not wrong) vendor&model ? [04:40] ScheissDrogen: you said you got your ATI working fine. Do you mind giving cory_ a hand on it. He's having some problems with it. [04:40] jeff_ yes [04:40] carandraug: i have. Linux hates my hardware [04:40] mindrape - not my wireless (staying with someone) but yes it does have a passphrase key to connect (got the key) [04:40] i want to share something [04:40] jeff_ for that site might be best to look on their site for more help [04:40] ScheissDrogen: samsung syncmaster 959nf (19' flatscreen crt) [04:40] cory_, /join #SeaPhor [04:40] jebblue: OK. Thanks for the help. Gotta run. Cheers. [04:40]  cory_ a: which card ? [04:41] carandraug: windows does what i ask I am off. Thanks a lot for your help.

[05:57] Hazarath, first of all do you even think it will run worth a damn on that system? [05:57] cheeky: try https://help.ubuntu.com/ [05:57] Hazarath: have you tried burning another disk? [05:57] Hazarath: try the alternate CD. And also, Is this when you're trying to verify the CD? or boot to the live system? [05:57] phantomcircuit, it's a 2.93Ghz system, with 1GB of RAM. [05:57] Hazarath, also are you verifying the cd [05:57] np, first steps are most ugly, lol , see you later, aligator [05:57] Hazarath: at slowest possible speed [05:57] ScheissDrogen: i'm off to bed, if that's the case as well - I wish a very pleasant night's sleep :) [05:58] Flannel, that error comes from the install. [05:58] Hazarath: did you see this? http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3051 [05:58] RockShox, not sure what to say, id guess that your monitor is lying about the resolution's it is capable of or something odd like that [05:58] Hazarath: Can you verify the CD successfully? [05:58] g'night all, see you later ;) [05:58] can anyone help with wireless drivers? it seems like the card is detected but wlan0 doesn't come up? [05:58] Flannel, yes, 3 times.

[05:59] Hazarath, What program are you burning the image with? [05:59] does anybody know how to get networkmanager to automatically connect to a network with hidden ssid? [05:59] Gun_Smoke, some free image burner I found. [05:59] hyperair: Right click -> Edit Connections [06:00] Flannel, yes, all three times.... I even used a 4th to test install on another computer, it loaded the GUI. [06:00] Hazarath: Alright. Try the alternate CD instead. Obviously its not a bad burn. [06:00] Hazarath: from the URL I pasted above, someone had a similar problems as yours [06:00] the solution was "After poking around with Varjagy in the IRC channel we were able to assist him to get this working. The permissions error was due to the LiveCD starting a shell with user permissions and not root. Using sudo su - we got in. Then a straight cd /mnt/crap/bin && ln -s dash sh and we were sorted. Yay! " [06:00] Jordan_U: it's listed as one of the networks, but after resuming/starting up, it doesn't automatically connect [06:00] Hazarath, I second the alternate CD === sapin25 is now known as Annie23 [06:00] Flannel, questoin, tough... what's the diff? Why use an alternate? [06:01] <|YESH|a|> I had to use alternate CD as well, then just installed ubuntu-desktop afterward [06:01] Hazarath: Alternate CD isn't a liveCD. It also uses a different installer. [06:01] Hazarath, It's a text based installer. [06:01] Flannel, Alright... another 3 hours, yay. [06:01] |YESH|a|: you could have just installed the desktop from the liveCD. Its even default. [06:01] Hazarath, the alt cd just makes the installer an installer and not a live cd [06:01] <|YESH|a|> Flannel: I was unable. [06:01] <|YESH|a|> crashed every time. [06:02] |YESH|a|: because of package issues? [06:02] can any one tel me how to get my codec all working in order i just installed ubuntu; this is wat i did for the codec on my machine : "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras". would this cover it or do i need to get more.. is this the right way ? [06:02] <|YESH|a|> tried alternate, worked first time [06:02] Hazarath, slow network? [06:02] |YESH|a|: er, sorry. I meant desktop from the alternate CD. [06:02] Gun_Smoke, 1MB connection, in the sticks. [06:02] <|YESH|a|> alternate cd installs desktop? *shrugs* just took 15 minutes to apt-get [06:03] |YESH|a|: yes. Alternate CD installs, by default, the same system the desktop CD installs [06:03] Hazarath, that isn't bad. Get the torrent. [06:03] Flannel, so... it'll be the same Ubuntu, it'll just install diffrent? [06:04] Hazarath: It installs Ubuntu, yes. [06:04] Hazarath, I also suggest http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/ to burn the image. [06:04] Hazarath: Don't complain about a 1MB connection :) [06:05] Jordan_U, I'm not... lucky to have bandwith like this 60 miles from the closest node, haha. [06:05] how do i add a printer with CUPS? [06:06] balz: If it's USB, plug it in :) [06:06] Hazarath, for 386 http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [06:06] Flannel, worse case... if Alternate [that's downloading] fails... what next? [06:06] um [06:06] well you can get them from torrents [06:06] Jordan_U: sorry i should have specified. I'm trying to share the printer on the local network. [06:06] so if the download fails [06:06] Gun_Smoke, already downloading. [06:06] get a torrent [06:06] <|YESH|a|> oh wait, I didn't install alternate, I installed -server [06:07] <|YESH|a|> I thought that's what you meant by alternate, didnt know there was a whole other branch [06:07] Jordan_U: also, it's on a server install... do i need to download drivers? [06:07] |YESH|a|, no the alternative installer is a text based installer that is not a live cd [06:07] balz: I don't know, sorry [06:07] could any one help me this is regard codecs installation and i posted my problem up here before ? [06:08] Jordan_U: no worries! thanks anyway! [06:08] How do I add a printer to be shared on the local network with CUPS? [06:08] <|YESH|a|> i see, I get it now, when the live cd failed for me i installed -server === lee_ is now known as V1nd1c74 [06:08] |YESH|a|, I've done that.. back at 6.06 I think.

(adult wih learning disabilities) [06:10] and automagically repair it if there are problems from downloading [06:10] how do i add packages from cafuego to a system manually ? [06:10] phantomcircuit_: You could also just check the md5sum [06:10] chalcedony, xsane doesnt have it [06:11] Jordan_U, yeah but would that automagically fix it? [06:11] not to mention if he's on windows good luck explaining how to do that [06:11] exit [06:11] <|YESH|a|> easy [06:11] phantomcircuit: oh.. ok what would make the preview window be there .. but blank?

Windows won't install on the empty partition ("doesn't meet qualifications?") and now grub isn't loading ubuntu. Error code 17, I think it was. [06:12] normal add/remove programs [06:13] kc8pxy: you could always download the network installation for it [06:13] chalcedony, is this your first attempt with xsane? or was it working before? [06:13] Zelbinian: use a livecd, and install grub via chroot :) [06:13] Zelbinian, that's why you do it in the other order [06:13] the one that installs the minimum and then you download and go via net [06:13] infolock: download it to where? [06:13] I'm on a live CD now [06:13] Gun_Smoke: it always worked... sometimes the preview window vanished but it's always worked even when i can't print [06:13] How do I "install grub via chroot" [06:14] Jordan_U, and i suggested the torrent thing mostly because i assume that he's going to have a corrupt download [06:14] live cd is...well, a cd installation i thought [06:14] infolock: fubar existing os, broken cd drive.

[06:17] damn, is it even possible to boot off a usb stick? didn't think you could? [06:17] infolock, Yes. [06:17] <|YESH|a|> I boot a memory tester off USB stick [06:17] mm.. depends on your bios [06:17] <|YESH|a|> memcheck86+ [06:17] damn, i'm gonna have to look into that [06:17] whether it allows u to boot from a usb [06:18] that's pretty sweet [06:18] <|YESH|a|> yeah, a lot of new bios do let you but not all of them [06:18] infolock, there's a tool avallble, hold on. [06:18] chalcedony, yeah it should, it isn't messing with your printer.. It's just an app. You could also try scanning through gimp [06:18] <|YESH|a|> I tell it to boot from 'USB-HDD' in the boot-order of my bios, but it could be different on yours, or may not be available at all [06:18] phantomcircuit i installed hardy heron onto a 32 bit computer, using the i386 version. now the six digit passwor di applied to the root, wont work, so i tried to load form disc to uninstall, and reinstall but it jsut loads right to the hddd and such [06:18] halp [06:19] check this 0day site on a "howto" for usb boot hah: http://www.bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm Oo [06:19] Ok, I figured out how to install grub.

[06:20] chalcedony, I can't say for sure.. It's worth a try.

I moved an Ubuntu partition using GParted, and tried to install Windows on the empty space. Windows then told me it couldn't find a drive matching its install requirements.

[06:23] Aight [06:23] Zelbinian: The easiest way to do it is to install windows first [06:23] is there a way in ubuntu that i can track wat i have installed on my machine like for example .. i just got on ubuntu and would like to know wat programs i have installed and if i lose this setup i can actually bring it back up ifi have record and then i can take notes so if i ever crash i can do all what i have don again ? [06:23] Zelbinian: It [06:23] Gun_Smoke: do i need to get this?: Suggested packages: [06:23] xsane-doc hylafax-client mgetty-fax gv gocr [06:23] The following NEW packages will be installed: [06:23] xsane [06:24] chalcedony: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

What are you trying to do? [06:42] can someone take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=914546 [06:42] and also, is there a wine channel? [06:42] td123: easy to find out.. [06:42] Ugh, I'm worried. I think I might have screwed up my install . . . can someone help me figure out if I can repair it? :( [06:42] Dusti[n], If you click system, there are two menus. settings and system.... I mean the systems.... one [06:42] try to join it [06:42] canonical should hire folks to do support .. [06:42] hi all, i have a strange problem with my sound, it will work sometimes and not others. the sound is global, ie mp3s, mpgs, even chat alerts on pidgins. they will just stop all of a sudden [06:43] sounds like a problem with pulseaudio.. definitely rolled out too early in hardy [06:43] johnny_, why? there are over 1200 in here alone? [06:43] Violetbass: ok then what? [06:43] ah ok johnny_ , any suggestions? [06:43] Dusti[n], ...and there the deamons. the running tasks [06:43] Gun_Smoke: and how many are the helpers.. vs those who need help [06:43] is there a way to maybe reset the sound? [06:44] NewUser: sorry.. i haven't kept up with it.. it happens infrequently enough for me to just reboot to fix it [06:44] Violetbass, what are you trying to do? [06:44] try searching the bug tracker on launchpad.net [06:44] uggh.. this will kill my night. [06:44] Violetbass:ummm i got "system monitor" is that what your talking about or "services"? [06:45] I have a functioning and somewhat customized install of hardy 8.04 - if I use the "sudo apt-get dist-upgrad" method to switch to intreped ibex - will I have to intall everything from start.. ? [06:45] Dusti[n], I like to disable and stop bluetooth and cups [06:45] Violetbass: ok thats "services" [06:45] Dusti[n], I also could use rcconf, but that does not work for me! [06:45] Dusti[n], ah ok! :) [06:46] ah ok..this might help too...ive notice now that the sound has stopped, i also cant play movies [06:46] so, the first frame will come up but it will get stuck [06:46] Violetbass: so you cant unlock it? [06:46] Can someone help me repair an install? [06:46] Zelbninian, what's broke? [06:47] Dusti[n], yes! after typing some letters of the password I get thes auth failure [06:47] Dusti[n], e [06:48] Dusti[n], ups I should say "this" [06:48] Well, I resized and moved a partition. [06:48] is there a way to send all output from a program that sends it to the console, to a file? [06:48] Violetbass: does it stop you before you hit the enter key? [06:48] Then I (apparently stupidly) tried to install Vista on the empty space. [06:48] hi [06:48] Now I'm having difficulty getting GRUB to boot my Ubuntu install.

[06:50] yeah, td123, what do u suggest i look for though [06:50] how do i apply a chown and chmod on all files/folders and subfolders basically every file in my /var/www/ [06:50] ???? [06:50] Dusti[n], what do you mean please? [06:50] infolock: regular (hardy, for instance), -updates (hardy-updates), -security (hardy-security). Each with main restricted universe multiverse components. [06:50] <`Matir> billybigrigger, supply -R to each chown and chmod [06:50] anyone here knows which eeepc has those WAN modems or 3g card built-in ?? [06:50] `Matir, tried that [06:50] <`Matir> billybigrigger, e.g, chown -R user:group /var/www [06:51] NewUser: search your sound card with your problem [06:51] `Matir, it only works on /var/www/foo, not /var/www/foo/foo [06:51] ah ok [06:51] flannel: i'm sorry, i don't quite follow [06:51] Violetbass: a hot link key would perform an action when you press a key + another key at the same time like shift + e [06:51] hi, I just rebooter my ubuntu that was working fine due to updates and now instead of a login screen, I'm getting a white screen, sometimes with a black bar, is thaat something frequent? what can I do? [06:51] i'm an ubuntu newb... always used freebsd up until now [06:51] <`Matir> billybigrigger, weird, it should work on all if you have the necessary permissions [06:51] shopt -s dotglob; sudo chown root:root /var/www/*; sudo chmod +r /var/www/* [06:51] bahh [06:51] infolock: It's likely already set up by default, although on separate lines. [06:51] td123, yeah, like ls *.pdf > listofpdf.txt [06:52] wierd, because it doesn't seem to find a VMWare Server installation [06:52] Dusti[n], no, I type the password letter by letter!? [06:52] <`Matir> billybigrigger, that's lacking the -R option.... no need for the * either [06:52] just thought that it was due to a reason similar to Suse where a specific URL for a 3rd party or something needs to be added to the package lookup [06:53] if i search for VMWare, i get nothing for installation [06:53] i don't have a problem installing it manually [06:53] `Matir, old command, sudo chmod +R o+rw /var/www with that command i can cd in /var/www/include/client says permission denied as its owned by root:root [06:53] just thought there was a package available for it [06:53] hello, i was wondering if i could get some help with some make errors i'm getting [06:53] Violetbass: have you always had this problem? or is this the first time youve tried this?

Could someone give me a few minutes of their time and help me try and repair my Ubuntu install?

[06:54] but that's the other thing. wtf is up with the "Feisty and Edgy" stuff? [06:55] that the name of the distro's to correspond to the version? [06:55] Zelbninian [06:55] infolock: They're development codenames, that stick around only in the repositories. [06:55] whats happend? [06:55] Zelbninian, you trashed grub? [06:55] Seems that way. [06:55] ah, that's what i thought. k, then the ones above would be for the 6x and 7x builds, not the 8 right?

[06:56] Violetbass: hum. well i cant verify the bug. but have you tried a work around like typeing your password out then copy and paste into the password field [06:56] kthnx flannel [06:56] Zelbninian, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RecoverGrub [06:57] Zelbninian, or, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UserDocumentation?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=grub&titlesearch=Titles [06:57] I took those steps.

[06:58] uatever: You'll have to talk to freenode staff. [06:58] Violetbass: no problem [06:58] Flannel: how can i contact them? [06:58] via email? [06:58] flannel, Cant' you drop regestration? [06:58] i'm trying to compile broadcom driver but i keep getting no such file or directory [06:59] uatever: ##freenode I believe, but yes, you should be able to do it by email too [06:59] I really don't get how I have sound with usb headset when playing dvd or music but not with web streaming yet everything works with speakers [06:59] I'm pretty sure you can drop regestration. [06:59] ..that needs a password, doesn't it? [07:00] Hazarath: Likely, yes. [07:00] is there a setting with flash on what to play through ? [07:01] That is what I just realized. 'Don't ya need your password and email? [07:01] ' [07:01] interesting this sudo stuff to pass as root instead of su'ing and then running as root [07:01] i am getting to like this ;) [07:01] Flannel, I think there was something up with the /msg nickserv password recovery option by email. [07:01] Gun_Smoke: Not yet, no. You still have to do it through staffers. [07:02] Flannel, ah [07:02] infolock, Ubuntu kicks a lotta @$$ compaired to Winders, just a bit more to configure it for what you are used to. [07:03] infolock, if you are wondering, yes, you can run major games such as Valve and WoW on your compy with Ubuntu for free. [07:04] I like the apple way of yank/paste with the command-c command-v. Is that easy to set up in Terminal ? [07:04] Hazarath: uder wine? or cedega? [07:05] hello, for some reason flash wont load videos or flash websites etc.. automatically i have to click on it to load how can i change this? [07:05] either wine will take a bit more to do than cedega [07:05] Hazarath: i don't do games [07:05] i'm a dev only ;) [07:06] I come from FreeBSD background. suse i've used, ubuntu is new to me [07:06] kc8pxy, Wine. :3 [07:06] so far, i like it though ;P [07:06] kc8pxy, Or the costy one. [07:06] inst cedega faster than wine? [07:06] uatever: very possibly.. but it's also cost, an wine is free. [07:06] faster setting up [07:07] uatever, I'm not sure, actually. [07:07] I can't seem to trap these magical things called kernel panics, is there a higher debug level I can put syslogd into so that mayhaps I may find out what is causing my system to freeze? [07:07] kc8pxy, I found a few good lookin' guides online to help me configure WoW and Steam. [07:07] what packages do i need to set up a print server? cupsys? [07:08] billy [07:08] !cups [07:08] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[07:08] !print server [07:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about print server [07:09] im sure theres a workaround on cedega =P [07:09] kc8pxy, I agree. I am using a 32 bit, heh. [07:09] Hi all, if I installed a package with his dependency (automatically), when removing, it would be fine to remove them automatically again. Is it possibile? [07:09] btw im running xubuntu on vmware [07:09] just testing seeing how i like im going to install it tomorrow [07:09] but i run a raid-0 [07:09] do i need the drivers [07:10] or will it be auto-detected? [07:10] I installed cupsys and edited the config file but I can't access the webUI in my laptop's browser... i tried hostname:631 [07:10] This question is a bit esoteric for this room, but I've tried everything else I can think of. Does anyone know of a freeware music transcriber that will take what you are playing on your piano keyboard and write sheet music from it? [07:10] any ideas? [07:11] Gun_Smoke: I followed the directions for reloading grub. I still get an error code 17. [07:11] wolfwalker: rosegarden? [07:11] wolfwalker: doesn't rosegarden allow note entry this way?

[07:12] wolfwalker: i use MIDI in ubuntu and with rosegarden, although i have not tried to have it transcribe as i play the keyboard - i thought it was an option, though [07:12] aaaaaaaaaaaaaa, 1? [07:13] ushimitsudoki What adapter do you use for MIDI? [07:13] Zelbinian, google "grub error 17" [07:13] wolfwalker: several, but mainly the one on my Edirol UA-25. I also have a M-Audio UNO and Yamaha UX16 [07:14] wolfwalker: i've been trying to crack MIDI from Wine to Ubuntu all day today so i have this stuff on hand right now :) [07:14] Then you're officially my best friend right now === nostferka^ is now known as nostferka [07:15] If I can get RoseGarden to work with my keyboard over here, I'll be as happy as a pig in mud.

[07:23] hateball: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44809/ [07:23] is this standart? http://paste.ubuntu.com/44805/ [07:24] balz: Sorry, havent used Mythbuntu, plus that guide is a year old. Things are bound to have changed. But tbh, all you should need is the cupsys package, and it should grab the depends. The rest are just extra ui stuff and drivers I think [07:24] hateball: that's what i figured but it doesn't seem to be working at all... [07:25] balz: you could always try ##xubuntu or ##cups [07:25] hateball. will do thanks [07:26] is there a way to slow down the frequency on my laptop?

[07:45] So I need to install XP on my pc (just for spore) currently I'm only running 8.04 with no floppy and my HD's are SATA, The only tutorials I see online use a program called nlite to include the SATA drivers on the XP disc. Anyone know of a way to use linux to do the same thing? [07:45] it's already installed [07:45] you can install xp on a sata drive [07:45] hillpig, get a paper and a pen. then dra x on the paper and put it on your desktop ;) [07:45] just gotta change a bios option [07:46] w [07:46] I wish somebody would fix up help pages like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=8960 so they don't look so silly. [07:46] Nah, my bios doesn't do that. I have to install the SATA controller drivers. My mobo is kinda old. [07:47] there's no option to make them emulate ide? [07:47] I've installed ant docs on heron but I can't find them :(. Could someone please tell me where to find my ANT-docs? [07:47] hi,can anybody tell me how to install x window on my 8.04 hardy desktop? [07:47] Nope, it's before those days of ease. [07:47] you could run nlite in a VM [07:47] hillpig, if you're running a gui chances are you're using x-windows [07:48] o [07:48] also known as x11 [07:48] xorg [07:48] Yeah, that was my last option, I was just hoping there was a way to just do it. I'm not really familiar with VMs, All I do is install the VM then use the VM to install XP correct? [07:49] yeah [07:49] Okay, well I guess that's what I'll have to do, thanks. [07:49] hi, i got an entry in the network manager menu (on hardy heron) which actually works well, i just have to click on it and i'm connected (i use 802.1x on wired ethernet + dhcp), but how do i set it to be the default one ? [07:49] by default it's my ethernet which is selected, not the 802.1x connection i created [07:49] guys I want to launch installation after double clicking on sh files like windows exe style how to do that? [07:49] joeerror, wine may work too [07:49] so by default it doesn't work, i have to click on the menu and select my 802.1x connection, it's quick but i wanna make it automatic :o [07:50] Unfortunately it doesn't, at least on my box, I got nlite installed in wine, but it won't run [07:50] (and by the way i don't find how to do the same thing on the new network manager of intrepid alpha 4, i will upgrade today to 5) [07:50] did you install .net as well? [07:50] Yup [07:50] Which I thought was ridiculous, having to install 22+ mb to install a 2mb program :) [07:50] try installing this too http://www.wine-doors.org/wordpress/ [07:51] there's some extra libraries and stuff it can install for you [07:51] it's like a synaptic for windows stuff [07:51] Okay, I'll try that, can I apt-get it? [07:51] no [07:51] anyone here knows any mini laptop like eeepc that has 3G/HSDPA card built-in ?? [07:52] but there's a ubuntu deb on that site [07:52] Oh, awesome. Well thanks, I'll give it a shot, and see where that takes me. [07:52] Is there an easy way to redirect outgoing email messages to a different address moving the original to: header to the body? I have an internal (web)development server, and during testing I want to test the emails that get sent, but I don't want them to get delivered to what I fill in in the applications/forms. [07:53] it appears that my fully qualified domain name is incorrect (hostname -f), and i can't figure out how to set it. shouldn't it be set through dhcp? is there a file i can edit to set the domain name? [07:54] nxmehta: set /etc/hostname to the hosname (without domainname) and put the fqdn in /etc/hosts [07:54] guys I want to launch installation after double clicking on sh files like windows exe style how to do that? [07:54] nxmehta: my /etc/hosts: [07:54] 127.0.0.1 localhost [07:54] Hi all, i found a nice feature in Gnome, when pressing the keys: "Windows + R" Gnome zooms in to the currently open application window! However I cant figure out how to zoom out again to normal view, can anyone help? [07:54] 127.0.1.1 bluescreen.getmyip.com bluescreen [07:55] ..bluescreen? [07:55] yeah :) [07:55] BLUE!?!?! [07:55] mathijs: thanks, that did the trick. any reason why that wasn't set automatically via dhcp? [07:55] dhcp doesn't touch /etc/hosts [07:56] oh, so there's no way for a machine to automatically figure out what domain it's on? [07:56] how can I tell NetworkManager not to touch /etc/resolv.conf the next time i reboot? [07:56] maybe from the dns server? resolv.conf? [07:57] maybe there is. I just receive my hostname from dhcp, not domain name. [07:58] anyway, gotta go... [07:58] Donkey: That wine-doors thing worked perfect, installed in, reinstalled nlite and now I can just run nlite. Thanks. === luk is now known as wizir === wizir is now known as wizir- [08:01] hello all [08:01] Can you run apps like firefox from a terminal command?

[08:13] OzFalcon: just right click on your desktop and select the Create Launcher option [08:13] Ah found it. [08:13] OzFalcon: the command could be "firefox www.google.com" [08:14] OzFalcon: assuming thats the browser you want, and that its in your path [08:14] SegFaultAX, No. That it a terrible way to do it. [08:14] OzFalcon: my response was only as vague as your question [08:14] SegFaultAX, Better to change type to "location" [08:15] could someone please tell me how to setup a generic infrared reciever on Mythbuntu?

[08:17] well, i fnishsed building my new rig yesterday, and installed xp just fine on it... [08:17] SegFaultAX, The other way is to simply drag a link in firefox to the desktop! [08:17] how do i register a new name? [08:17] And then i came to installing ubuntu, i thought it went okay, intalling from the live cd, but when i boot up, there is no boot loader screen, it just boots straight into windwos [08:18] sebastian_: is that an ubuntu question? [08:18] Wheeze87: 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. :-) [08:18] SegFaultAX, I have it disabled in there i'm pretty sure. It should not have changed, It kept freezing my computer so I got a pcmcia card and disabled it a while ago [08:18] Wheeze87: where did you choose to install Grub? [08:19] Wheeze87: was it on MBR or Root partition? [08:19] Well, when that screen came up i just clicked forward, because everything looked alright... [08:19] o_O [08:20] I have two hard drives in my machine, And i watned to install xp on the first one, and then ubuntu on the second one... [08:20] Should i have pointed grub to be installed on the windows hard drive? [08:20] Wheeze87: lets assume for a moment that its not on MBR; you need to boot again with LiveCD, use fdisk to mark the root partition bootable and unmark the windoze partition, commit and reboot [08:20] Wheeze87: is the ubuntu hdd the master or the slave? [08:20] slave [08:21] okay, il try booting again with the live cd [08:21] SegFaultAX, I can check if it's still disabled in my BIOS, BRB [08:21] okay, is there a guide to do that outbackwifi? [08:21] Wheeze87: If it is a separate harddisk, then thats another issue [08:22] yes, it is a seperate hard disk [08:22] Wheeze87: just go to bios and change the boot device priority to boot the second hard disk first [08:22] and boot normally [08:22] without liveCD [08:22] Hi there, I have been trying to remove a module and have added it to the blacklist but it still gets loaded. Any ideas how to stop this? [08:22] Wheeze87: dont just start fiddling with the mbr if you dont need to. try switching the slave to master [08:23] boozkachu: did you reboot after adding it to blacklist? [08:23] mmm okay, ill give it a whirl thanks guys... [08:23] yw [08:23] how do i register a new name?

[08:30] k [08:30] so which cache are we thinking of? [08:30] SegFaultAX, I also added a line to modprobe.d i'll remove that and see what happens on next boot [08:30] boozkachu: grep [08:30] outbackwifi: it shows the quickcam_messenger and qcmessenger drivers [08:30] outbackwifi, no, to clean out apt I type apt-get autoremove [08:30] great [08:31] outbackwifi: not the one i blacklisted though, so why does it show up in modprobe -l ? [08:31] outbackwifi, I know how to clean aft, if you look I said Browser [08:31] holykachu: modprobe -l does not show you the loaded modules [08:31] What's a good program for finding wireless points?

I'm on dial up here so no ap's around here lol [08:33] holyguyver_: you need to look up; ive told you ctl+shift+del [08:34] outbackwifi, I did see that when you posted it [08:34] holyguyver_: firefox can clear its own cache [08:34] holyguyver_: and that did not work for you? [08:34] outbackwifi, you are the one who is not looking up as all in all I said I want a camand that will clean all caches out, apt, firefox, opera, & any others I may have. [08:34] lol [08:35] Well sense I'm on a roll, how do I get firefox to stop starting in offline mode everytime it starts?

[08:36] SegFaultAX, dont joke about that here [08:36] * outbackwifi admires SegFaultAX for his wit [08:37] outbackwifi, & that cnt shift del did not work for me [08:37] * Ademan fondles SegFaultAX for his wit [08:37] hi, I have a problem, gnome operation has changed, I used to be able to activate a window by clicking the mouse anywhere in the window :), but ATM I have to click on the title bar at the top :( How can I fix this ?

[08:38] outbackwifi, but I asked for a terminal cammand & as I said I also want to clean out every cach I may have, not just firefox, or opera, or whatever. [08:39] outbackwifi, I even want to clean out caches I don't even know I have [08:39] erm [08:39] holyguyver_: so write a script that deletes everything in your cache directories [08:39] holyguyver_, if you know shell programming, you can write one script yourself and then release it to us. Otherwise learn shell scripting. Or bribe one of your programmer friends to write the script; you provide the requirements. [08:39] dorto, & SegFaultAX I am not a programer, I do not know anyscripting langauge other then html. [08:40] holyguyver_: that would take just a few lines in bash, not to mention python [08:40] man, html sure is a good *scripting* language [08:40] Ademan, :p [08:40] holyguyver_, find a friend/acquaintance who can write one for you and find out how you can make them write a script for you. [08:41] dorto, are you a programmer? [08:41] anyone knows how to prevent firefox from crashing while watching youtube clips (8.04) [08:41] holyguyver_: if you could just list what you want cleared most anyone could write a script that would do it, it's incredibly simple [08:41] holyguyver_, yep, but not for hire ;) [08:41] holyguyver_, bring me pizza and i'll do it for you - most programmers will do it for pizza [08:42] dorto, well that is fine, I don't want to hire you, could you write me that script for free then? ;p [08:42] ckyle: im on that list of people [08:42] he he [08:42] ckyle, alright, where do you live? [08:42] holyguyver_, of course, but no guarantees that it will work. most probably it will just be an empty file :D [08:42] redmond :-P [08:42] holyguyver_: if you can provide a solid list of requirements... [08:42] yes [08:43] holyguyver_ and others please take this chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:43] i work at the unholy of unholies [08:43] sorry [08:43] bazhang, this convo is about ubuntu [08:43] ckyle: wait wha? i thought you were joking...

[08:43] high treason to be specific [08:44] holyguyver_: this really has nothing to do with ubuntu [08:44] what's your position? [08:44] holyguyver_, no it isnt. its about scriptiing. please chat in the appropriate channel [08:44] anyone knows how to prevent firefox from crashing while watching youtube clips (on ubuntu 8.04) [08:44] Meneertje, run firefox from terminal, then see what the error is when it crashes [08:44] Meneertje: bitch and moan to adobe to make a decent flash plugin, I've tried everything i could and i can't get it to be stable... [08:44] Meneertje: its likely an issue with flash, what version do you have? [08:44] how can I delete a file/folder using terminal? [08:45] Ademan, ckyle dorto bazhang SegFaultAX But this is about the health of my ubuntu system & I am asking how can I clean out all caches on my ubuntu system in one easy blow, that means firefox, apt, & any others I might not be aware I have. All temp folders. [08:45] NicEXE: rm -r Ademan, Meneertje, i have no problems on the tube [08:45] adobe is in fremont [08:45] not sure.. just used the one the came with the restricted repository [08:45] i should order them a truck of pizza to do it ;-) [08:45] sorry again [08:45] NicEXE: rm FILENAME rm -Rf DIRECTORY rmdir EMPTYDIRECTORY [08:45] holyguyver_, there is no such command. join #bash or #ubuntu-offtopic [08:45] its only youtube that makes it close/crash. [08:45] bazhang, it is still a question about my ubuntu system though [08:46] any other flash sites work fine [08:46] Meneertje: really? i have trouble with all flash (with sound specifically) [08:46] like www.myfreepaysites.com .... or www.surfthechannel.com [08:46] no problems with those [08:46] holyguyver_: i agree with bazhang, we have humored you long enough. try the bash, perl, or python channels [08:46] Meneertje: then i second epp's recommendation to run firefox from the terminal and see what the error is [08:46] ok thx [08:47] SegFaultAX, All I am asking is how do I clean out caches on my ubuntu system [08:47] holy - please listen to the man ok [08:47] holyguyver_, and you were answered. please stop. [08:47] holyguyver_: and we have told you numerous times in numerous ways, but your laziness prevents you from learning the tools that would allow you to accomplish that task [08:47] ckyle, what is there to listen to? I am asking how do I clean caches on my ubuntu system? it is an ubuntu question. [08:48] !ot | holyguyver_ [08:48] holyguyver_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:48] * SegFaultAX thinks +b holyg... [08:48] holyguyver_: go to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:48] SegFaultAX, bazhang then tell me how to do it then, what things do I need to do, you guys have told me several conflicting answers [08:48] set +b SegFaultAX [08:49] oh another question, i have compiz running... while sometimes moving the mouse over the desktop is flips to another virtual desktop... i guess this is because of mouse gestures... how can i switch this off, I can't seem to find it in the compiz advanced settings??? [08:49] holyguyver_, you have been told. I wont ask again. [08:49] Ademan: actually you would mode me, but thats ok [08:49] Err how do you get out of monitor mode? I used the command sudo iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor [08:49] holyguyver_: does your desktop have a poweroff button? [08:49] bazhang, I have been told to talk on toppic of ubuntu support in here, & that I have done. I do not see how I am doing anything offtopic. [08:49] ccsm i think (compiz) [08:49] holyguyver_, there is no "Delete all the cache" button in Ubuntu. You need to use the 'rm' command to delete the directories you don't want. End of story. [08:50] Is there a way to set a wireless adapter to a specific mode? I have an intel pro wireless 2200 which only works in b mode. [08:50] holyguyver_: that is the "clear all cache" button in ubuntu [08:50] waan: it needs to support the mode you want, do you knwo off hand if that card supports a/g/n? [08:50] outbackwifi: ...i think he's gone... [08:51] * outbackwifi thanks god for small mercies [08:51] he killed himself [08:51] or cleared his own cache [08:51] hahahah [08:51] haha [08:52] waan: why do you need to set the adapter to a specific mode?

[08:56] I have this mythbuntu machine, i have set it up and everything seems to be fine, the thing is with the remote control and the reciever im having this issue where when i press a button on the remote it outputs it as a keyboard command. For example UP is PAGE UP, and 0 are set for about 10 different buttons, have u heard of this problem i cant figure it out? Im using a Twinhan DTV-T Tuner on it along with the original remote and reciever. [08:57] fresh install + upgrade [08:57] computer: fresh install of gutsy then upgrade to hardy? [08:57] Wheeze87: fd0 means floppy [08:57] dorto, Alright, it says for file, but what if it is directory & where would those directories be ? [08:57] Wheeze87: did you create a boot floppy? [08:58] !cli | holyguyver_ [08:58] holyguyver_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [08:58] Flannel, that is what I am using [08:58] no [08:58] holyguyver_: try "man find" [08:58] i dont even have a floppy drive [08:58] holyguyver_: Read the wiki page, it explains a number of the commands [08:58] IN MAN: By default, rm does not remove directories. Use the --recursive (-r or -R) option to remove each listed directory, too, along with all of its contents. [08:59] Flannel, O alright thanks [08:59] Wheeze87: at the grub screen, press e and write down the contents of the kernel line [09:00] Wheeze87: sounds like a possible corruption of the MBR [09:00] SegFaultAX, Ademan, It only supports b/g, but doesn't work in mode g [09:00] outbackwifi, no [09:00] dorto, so I type in rm -r & then what? [09:00] oaky, so shall i just pull the plug, then boot up to the grub screen? [09:00] How to list packet changelog during apt-get upgrade? [09:01] holyguyver_: hope like hell you didnt delete your linux distribution [09:01] Wheese87: sue [09:01] outbackwifi, you silly silly man [09:01] Wheese87: sure [09:01] holyguyver_, 'rm -r ' will delete everything from dir1, dir2 and dir3 === Ademan is now known as foobarbaz === foobarbaz is now known as __foobarbazspam [09:01] holyguyver_: o_O [09:02] dorto, all I am asking for now is the likely locations of the firefox, opera, seamonkey & other likely caches. [09:02] holyguyver_: and he does mean everything. so be sure you delete what you want. if your sure nothing in those filesystems is useful, you can use the -f option to force deletion [09:02] holyguyver_: Why are you trying to clear everything out, by the way? [09:03] holyguyver_, Google is your friend. Or #firefox etc. [09:03] Flannel, because isn't it good to clean out your system every once in a while? [09:03] I think he read about the cache in his computer class [09:03] lmao [09:03] holy - metamucil is the ticket if that your mission [09:03] lol === bitplex__ is now known as bitplex [09:04] holyguyver_: the cache is a temporary storage area; it will clean itself out everytime you reboot [09:04] i press "e" but nothing comes up [09:04] at the screen? [09:04] yeah [09:04] SegFaultAX, it has a hardware problem where it will drop out after you connect, this happens in all operating systems, but only when using mode g, mode b works fine, hence me needing to know how to set mode b for ubuntu [09:04] well i assume it is the grub screen [09:04] outbackwifi, I reboot about once every 4 months. [09:04] it asks me if i want to boot xp or ubuntu [09:05] wheese87: move the cursor to ubuntu [09:05] holyguyver_, the old data in cache is automatically overwritten by new data when more memory is needed by the application concerned. [09:05] dorto, thank you [09:05] wheese87: and then press e [09:06] hi! anyone knows a ppa with vim 7.2 packages for hardy? [09:06] right [09:06] outbackwifi, dorto SegFaultAX Flannel bazhang so you guys suggest that I do not need to clean out my caches? [09:07] Is there a way to set a wireless adapter to a specific mode? I have an intel pro wireless 2200 which only works in b mode, but ubuntu is trying to use mode g. [09:07] holyguyver_: the great RMS himself suggests this [09:07] * outbackwifi wonders if this is true [09:07] outbackwifi, he suggests I do not clean them out? [09:07] holyguyver_: I think you're confused about what caches accomplish. Cleaning them is good, but generally not needed, and certainly not needed frequently enough to warrant the automation that you were suggesting [09:08] d [09:08] holyguyver_: the apps that create these caches are supposed to be carrying out what is known as "housekeeping" [09:08] holyguyver_, I have never deleted any cache folder manually in my life. Except to clear out old history from the firefox application itself, for privacy reasons. [09:08] can anyone recommend a really good web based project management system and scheduler? thanks [09:08] I have this mythbuntu machine, i have set it up and everything seems to be fine, the thing is with the remote control and the reciever im having this issue where when i press a button on the remote it outputs it as a keyboard command. For example UP is PAGE UP, and 0 are set for about 10 different buttons, have u heard of this problem i cant figure it out? Im using a Twinhan DTV-T Tuner on it along with the original remote and reciever. [09:08] overrider: dotproject [09:09] overrider, you mean like ProjectPier? [09:09] dorto, yeah [09:09] projectpier doesnt do much scheduling though [09:09] okay, im in grub now, [09:10] dorto, outbackwifi Flannel SegFaultAX bazhang alright, then I guess I will leave the caches as is, thank for your help (all except bazhang who ignerantly banned me for no reason) [09:10] and i press e [09:10] and next to kernel it says... [09:10] overrider, Zimbra is another option but requires lot of maintenance effort. [09:10] holyguyver_: That's not really called for [09:10] Flannel, I agree it wasn't, he shouldn't [09:11] holyguyver_, you need to read this: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html [09:11] holyguyver_; if this were micro$oft, youd be down a million dollars just to know that you didnt need to do something [09:11] kernel / ubuntu/install/boot/vmlinuz debian-installer/custon-installation=/ [09:11] holyguyver_: If you have an issue with the operators, take it up in #ubuntu-ops. This channel is the wrong place for it. Also, ops are just doing their jobs, you shouldn't make it personal. [09:12] holyguyver_: bazhang was protecting the channel topic. he was fully justified in his decision to kb you [09:12] dorto, I feel that my question was a smart question as I was really wondering if I needed to do it, & if so, how to. & I thank all of you for giving me that answer. [09:12] Wheeze87: are you reading out the kernel line from the liveCD? that sure doesnt look good to me if its a hard disk install [09:13] who help me to debug this program? [09:13] holy, free advice is just that... if someone can tell you they'll tell you... if not you're on your own [09:14] svn checkout http://leafget.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ leafge [09:14] SegFaultAX, I understand that, I am just trying to say that I was not trying to endanger the channel toppic & that I personally feel he got a little trigger happy. [09:14] svn checkout http://leafget.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ leafget [09:14] xinliGG_: Please take it elsewhere, this channel is for Ubuntu support, not debugging. === mandragor is now known as weedar [09:14] ok [09:14] well at the main grub screeen, i have the following options "start installer in narmal mode, start installr in safe graphic mode, start installer with ACPI workarounds, Start installer in verbose mode [09:14] I do have the live cd in the tray actually [09:14] holyguyver_: this is the #ubuntu channel, not the #obscure_feature_request_that_may_apply_to_ubuntu channel [09:15] wheeze87: youve booted from the livecd! remove that and boot now [09:15] oaky [09:15] SegFaultAX, I was only wondering if it was recammended that I clean out my chaches manually to keep my ubuntu install healthy. [09:15] Alright, holyguyver_, SegFaultAX, I think everything that's sayable has been said. holyguyver_, if you still have an issue, take it to #ubuntu-ops, otherwise please stop it. [09:15] hmm, drop it. but, stop it works too, I guess. [09:15] Flannel, I agree I think all that is sayable has been said [09:16] hola [09:16] oaky booting up.... [09:16] hi [09:16] "please select the Os to start" [09:16] i choose ubuntu [09:16] ok [09:16] and then press esc to enter menu [09:16] I was to flaunt my program wrote in ubuntu：P [09:16] press esc [09:17] and im in the grub menu [09:17] xinliGG_: we're out of flauntulence here [09:17] and i get all thos start installer options [09:17] xinliGG_: Try #ubuntu-offtopic [09:17] Wheeze87: thats impossible [09:18] Wheeze87: you dont have a ubuntu installation at all [09:18] Wheeze87: please complete that and then come back with the problem [09:18] perhaps grub is installed on thewrong partiton [09:18] i definately installed ubuntu! [09:18] thx [09:19] to Flannel thx [09:19] Wheeze87: is ubuntu just not booting, or what? [09:19] Flannel, you seem to be an intellagent & reasonable man, so I will address my next question to you. What is the easist & safeest way to shrink & expand partisions including my system partision, or can you give me a link that tells me in lamen terms how to move my home folder onto a different partision? [09:20] !home | holyguyver_ [09:20] holyguyver_: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For mounting your home folder on a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [09:20] wheeze, did you try to install it again? Perhaps its just a minor hiccup. [09:20] holyguyver_: gparted will let you resize partitions in a graphical manner, moving your /home to a different partition will probably involve editing your /etc/fstab though [09:20] Flannel, See I knew you would be the right man to ask :) you answer things straight forward & easily, thanks [09:20] holyguyver_: gparted on a liveCD (includes the Desktop CD), since you can't fiddle with partitions when they're mounted. And, for the record, a good number of people in this channel could've answered that. [09:21] holyguyver_: boot up on the live cd and use gparted to resize the partition [09:21] Hi everyone. I would like to know if someone else is experiencing issues with the Ubuntu forums in the last 24 hours? [09:21] lovinglinux: Try #ubuntuforums [09:22] Flannel: sorry, didn't know that channel [09:22] lovinglinux: No worries. But they'll be able to answer better than we can. [09:22] Ademan, what is fstab? [09:22] Flannel: thanks. cya [09:23] * outbackwifi thinks this is not the place for a linux primer [09:23] holyguyver_: the link flannel sent you should cover it all [09:24] Ademan, thanks, see I knew Flannel was the right man to ask :) [09:24] * Flannel is *a* right man to ask, hardly *the* right man. [09:25] Flannel you The Man :p, but this is not the praise Flannel channel, so I need to stop :p [09:25] * outbackwifi detects sarcasm [09:25] mhmm. For silly phrases, see #ubuntu-offtopic [09:26] * SegFaultAX detects kiss-assery [09:27] outbackwifi, no sarcasm, I asked a question & he gave me a straight forward answer, so he was really great & a quick & good help for my question. I am very thankful to him. [09:27] hi, I have a problem, gnome operation has changed, I used to be able to activate a window by clicking the mouse anywhere in the window :), but ATM I have to click on the title bar at the top :( How can I fix this ? [09:27] SegFaultAX, Yes you do detect kiss0assery :) [09:28] * outbackwifi now feels juvenile delinquency peaking [09:28] hi [09:28] yo yo yo [09:28] whats up? [09:28] SegFaultAX, but at least that proves I am not a troll, I am a kissass & proud of it :p . [09:28] nice name SegFaultAX [09:29] huhu [09:29] what exactly is a segmentation? === dman- is now known as dman [09:29] and why is it always faulty [09:29] holyguyver_, SegFaultAX, outbackwifi: for further discussion of this topic, please see #ubuntu-offtopic, and discussion regarding nicks too ActionParsnip. [09:29] ;) [09:30] test [09:30] ha [09:30] Flannel: its ontopic. I would like to know what a segfault exactly is [09:30] google it [09:30] Flannel: is that offtopic, Im happy to go to #offtopic [09:30] ActionParsnip: in its simplest terms, it occurs when a program tries to write into protected memory [09:31] ActionParsnip: usually resulting in a core dump [09:31] hy all, i just installed vmware server on 8.04 64 bit [09:31] its working fine [09:31] where can i get [09:31] /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h: [09:31] oni: do you have build-essential installed? [09:31] just that i cant figure how to use the "bridged" vmnet. [09:31] yes [09:32] Flannel, instead of going to offtopic I PMed outbackwifi [09:32] any idea on how to test whether the bridged works? [09:32] * outbackwifi ignores pms [09:32] fasttrac1 you should be able to ping the world :D [09:33] Alright outbackwifi then I will say it in here. I said "outbackwifi, I con only be an adult deliquant, I can hardly be a juvenile delinquent at age 24." [09:33] i am trying to install cisco unified call manager 6.0, as a redhat image. But, the network script in there tells me that connection to bridged gateway cannot be found. [09:33] ;( [09:33] check http://housevibes.blogspot.com for the latest mixes and tracklists from the best dj's in the world.trance,electro,techno,minimal and more.try it,you won't be dissapointed;) [09:33] i gave gateway adress as the address of my eth0. [09:34] fasttrac1: are you doing a net - install? [09:34] fasttrac1: as a redhat image? [09:34] stefanutz_g08: Don't advertise here. [09:34] ok [09:34] cucm6.0 is a redhat iso [09:34] redhat 3.0 [09:34] but where can i advertise?:D [09:34] because my blog it's new:D [09:34] stefanutz_g08: Not here. [09:34] and i want to get some traffic on it [09:34] advertise? [09:35] Flannel: least hes not a bot [09:35] where else? in google.. have sense.. use adsense.. haha [09:35] not advertise,because the music on it it's free [09:35] goodmorning [09:35] stefanutz_g08, search Google for some ways to promote your blog or ask in #wordpress etc. But not here. [09:35] you say advertise when you wanna sell something [09:35] ok,thanks [09:35] stefanutz_g08: Please stop. This isn't the place. And we don't know where you should go. Try #ubuntu-offtopic [09:35] no... [09:35] u say adverts when u wanna market something [09:35] stefanutz_g08, fine then, no promoting in here. [09:35] even u can adverise ideas.... [09:36] okey [09:36] MorpheusX[NL]: morning! [09:36] всем привет [09:36] !ru | pirat [09:36] pirat: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [09:37] guten abend [09:37] i have set up / installed rsync on ubuntu and what i want to do is to pull data from this ubuntu machine from windows xp. does anyone know how to this [09:37] i need a little help with samba and permissions.... my ultimate goal is to setup a file server that users can create and access files without deleting them and have their own shares to read and write to. [09:37] stefanutz_g08: release a good quality scene in some good trackers like piratebay... adverts in nfo files.. are widely respected and viewed.. ;) [09:38] Kann ich Deutsches innen sprechen hier? [09:38] !de | holyguyver_ [09:38] holyguyver_: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [09:38] Flannel, danke. [09:38] !ssh | MorpheusX[NL] [09:38] holyguyver_: No. This channel is english only. [09:38] MorpheusX[NL]: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [09:38] so guys... any idea on my vmnet problem? [09:38] i cant seem to find it in ifconfig ;( [09:39] erUSUL how would i accomplish this i have openssh installed [09:39] on ubuntu [09:39] MorpheusX[NL]: ssh, sftp, scp, rcp, and others. alternatively you could look into setting up a temporary samba server [09:39] i used vmware in windows and the new vmnets would show us in my network devices... === Expl0ited1 is now known as Expl0ited [09:39] MorpheusX[NL]: do you have the server or client installed? [09:39] MorpheusX[NL]: use winscp or putty from windows to copy the files... [09:40] i have putty on windows [09:40] MorpheusX[NL]: you could use puttysftp (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) [09:40] I made a mistake well typing something, & now how do I get whiteout off of my monitor? [09:40] because i want to sync folders from ubuntu with xp that's the thing so it would be a nightly thing [09:41] MorpheusX[NL]: rsync maybe? [09:41] yeah i was reading about that ActionParsnip but i can't seem to figure out how to do that from windows [09:42] MorpheusX[NL]: you might consider writing a script that marks files for downloading based on their last touch time [09:42] MorpheusX[NL]: or you could samba share the linux folder [09:42] ActionParsnip: you can use sftp. Not the same as rsync obviously. I... dont doubt that theres an rsync client for windows though. [09:42] because the machine that is going to pull the files is windows that is the problem [09:42] Flannel: fire that at MorpheusX[NL] ;) [09:43] MorpheusX[NL]: simple then, samba share the files and map a network drive [09:43] MorpheusX[NL]: yes, thats for you. As far as sftp goes, filezilla is a nice free GUI client. [09:43] mooooo [09:43] :) [09:43] MorpheusX[NL]: then enable offline files, when you log off, you will take a copy [09:43] ActionParsnip enable offline files [09:43] ? [09:43] MorpheusX[NL]: next time you log in you wll see whats new and update as needed so the server is always uptodate [09:44] it is going to be a remote thing [09:44] MorpheusX[NL]: google "rsync windows client", might be a useful place to start [09:44] Hello people. Can somebody tell me if cups is a udp or tcp service? [09:45] MorpheusX[NL]: no, youll have a cached set of files on your windows system, when you log off it'll be made local but the system will think its remote [09:45] ok SegFaultAX but is it possible to pull files with a client [09:45] MorpheusX[NL]: when you log in the chanegs (as someone said about last touched) will update onto the server [09:45] MorpheusX[NL]: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/mobility/learnmore/offlinefiles.mspx [09:45] so hmm [09:46] MorpheusX[NL]: this can take a while if you have lots of data so keep it as slim as possible [09:46] MorpheusX[NL]: you might be able to setup tasks, somewhat like a crontab [09:46] is there a way to pxe jumpstart an install without any local console access so only via ssh [09:46] hey guys still havin probs with xwinwrap, I maanged to get the scfreensaver bit to work but i cant get the movie part of it to work [09:46] xwinwrap -ni -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- mplayer -wid WID -nosound /titan.avi -loop 0 [09:46] mplayer: No such file or directory [09:46] mplayer died, exit status 2 [09:46] sajuuk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:47] i want a net search panel app similar to that of firefoxes any suggestions? [09:47] EdUdE: i think the deskbar applet can search the web [09:47] Alpha232: Try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server%20and%20network%20installations those links [09:47] the deskbar dosent work for me [09:47] ActionParsnip previously we used rdiff but this tool pulls complete files while rsync pulls fragments. So I think if i am going to us sftp i think i run into the same problem off large files [09:47] EdUdE: what's wrong with it? [09:48] hi. how do i active the dictionary in open office. i updated the dict already using the install new dictionary wizzard. i'm using hardy heron and my open office is vesion 2.4 [09:48] MorpheusX[NL]: indeed [09:48] when i click on it brings up the box but dosent list any options [09:48] Flannel: thankyou [09:48] sajuuk: http://swik.net/xwinwrap [09:48] MorpheusX[NL]: DeltaCopy is a wrapper for rsync for windows, and it does incremental backups [09:49] MorpheusX[NL]: and it may be taskable under windows [09:49] MorpheusX[NL]: if windows is pulling the files over id ask in ##windows\ [09:50] MorpheusX[NL]: as the linux system is accessible and ok, you just need some windows software to pull the data over [09:50] EdUdE: if you right click on it and hit preferences you can add the "yahoo search" extension [09:50] good ol yahoo :) [09:51] hi. how do i active the dictionary in open office. i updated the dict already using the install new dictionary wizzard. i'm using hardy heron and my open office is vesion 2.4 [09:51] i want a software like internet download manager for my ubuntu [09:51] SegFaultAX i looked at deltacopy but it demands that the app is also installed on the other side [09:51] any suggestion? [09:52] BunTai: if you use firefox you can pause downloads already, is that what you mean? [09:52] selam millet === jason is now known as Kingbuzzo [09:52] MorpheusX[NL]: well how big is the filesystem your syncing, and how big are the daily diffs? [09:52] about 120gb [09:52] ActionParsnip, he probably wants a gtk interface to wget [09:53] ActionParsnip : i want to download in other application [09:53] firefox slow [09:53] but effectively it will be around 50 gb all together [09:53] is there a gtk interfc to wget? [09:53] how get? [09:53] MorpheusX[NL]: and the daily diff size? [09:53] can i get a software like inter download manager for my ubuntu? [09:53] BunTai, then your other downloads will also be slow [09:53] the daily diffs are about 2 gb [09:53] BunTai: downloads will only come down as fast as your connection [09:54] i need autoconf.h :-( [09:54] hi I get error ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. on ubuntu when installing some ruby gems [09:54] airtonix: no..when we using internet download manager..its more faster than usual [09:54] provide a link to this IDM you speak of [09:54] O_o that's an intense diff [09:54] oni: what are you trying to do? [09:54] BunTai: gwget [09:54] ActionParsnip: i know..but when use internet download manager,it will increase full off speed connection [09:54] BunTaiah so you have seen the difference between using your "idm" and firefox, whats stopping you using your idm? [09:55] BunTai: no, if you have a 4mb connection you will never be able to download faster than 4mbps [09:55] airtonix: because theres no IDM in ubuntu [09:55] :) [09:55] BunTai, i beg to differ [09:55] Ademan: just try to compile asterisk bristuff [09:55] Is there a way to set a wireless adapter to a specific mode? I have an intel pro wireless 2200 which only works in b mode, but ubuntu is trying to use mode g. [09:55] ActionParsnip: yup i know that..i will download full..4mbps..but when using firefox downloader,its only half speed [09:55] oni: have you run ./configure ? [09:56] that why i want a software like IDM [09:56] BunTai: " gwget " was suggested [09:56] gwget? [09:56] waan: do you have a g speed router? [09:56] ok [09:56] hello [09:56] sudo apt-get install gwget [09:56] ops [09:56] wrong [09:56] MorpheusX[NL]: do you need to physically sync the data, or could you use the linux box as a remote file server [09:56] brb [09:57] hello , when i active compiz , my screan going to withe , what should i do ? [09:57] waan: http://www.debuntu.org/2006/03/27/9-how-to-ipw2200-getting-intel-pro-wireless-2200-bg-to-work-on-debian-ubuntu [09:57] I've seen on other distro's that vi nkow sintax of certain file type - colorizing the commands - How can I do the same thing here - I use often vi for several file editing.

However, I found a nice little script on the forums that downloaded the latest cvs-snapshot of the serialmanket Ralink-driver, compiled it and set everything up for me in a nice way so I wa up and running very easily and smoothly. However, I did a reinstall of the system (tried tinkering with some other d [11:24] istros, didn't like it, came back), and now running this script won't work properly. The driver is dl'ed and compiled, but when the script tries to edit the blacklist it gets permission denied even though it's sudo. I could edit the blacklist manually, and copied the lines from the script, and now it's working, but not with netw. manager :s I also have to do sudo dhclient wlan0 everytime I turn on the computer.. not a big issue but annoying [11:24] ..

I already know how to setup language support. I've already searched the forums and posted the question there, the language codes when you first install, if there's any way of finding them in the help information or what they are some other way. I ask as for some reason localization on KildClient isn't working so spell checking is not enabled. [11:37] So I can manually put the language code.

[11:40] it's just mute :/ [11:40] join #canudigit [11:41] yah, you just gotta go into volume control once it's enabled and unmute. [11:41] julian_: so the answer is no because there is no sun java webstart for 64bit? [11:41] I have some red in the events tab in the Firestarter Firewall should i be concerned [11:41] that's normal. [11:41] snadge i dont know if there is a java webstart for 64bit [11:41] i just tried some open source javaws .. and it said error in xml file [11:42] firestarter tells you EVERYTHING that is attacking your system.

[11:45] wat are some big irc network names? [11:45] just do a search on irc [11:45] kindofabuzz: When I login directly on the console of the box and I do exactly the same then that button isn't grayed out [11:45] Sobaka, maybe a setting in freenx is causing it? [11:46] kindofabuzz: Maybe, but I can't find what it is, I checked the config [11:46] hello i don't know about u guys, but i had to go back 2 -7.10. much more stable [11:47] Sobaka, you probably don't have that user as a freenx user or something like that [11:47] I'm on the newest stable build, runs fine for me.

[12:01] iam installing a pkg using apt-get and geting this err :: Dynamic MMap ran out of room [12:01] bob1: you'll need to find out what chipset is on the card you have and what module should have loaded, if there is one. [12:01] what is the easiest way of patching the orinoco_cs driver, to enable monitor mode? [12:01] can ny one help remove it [12:01] timotnias, OK [12:02] bob1: You familiar with what im talking about? [12:02] yates: installed mozilla-acroread ?? [12:02] timothias, Not completly but I know my way around. [12:02] timothias: I'd get a look at the card, and see who made the chips, name, and any family/serial/version numbers. [12:02] yes [12:03] bob1: I'd get a look at the card, and see who made the chips, name, and any family/serial/version numbers. [12:03] i also installed acroread-plugins - was that a mistake? [12:03] timothias, BRB [12:03] bob1: and with that, hit the google with whatever version of linux you are using. [12:03] bob1: but I suspect you are using an unsupported card. [12:04] how to download video tutorials in the website? its a wink movie i guess.miro is not working in wink tutorial video [12:04] bob1: to that end, a good cheap card is 3com's 3c905 series.

[12:09] is there an ALSA or OSS API for C++ ? [12:11] Why is "Create Document" in Nautilus disabled when using ssh/ftp to a server when the user account I'm using is in a group with write access? [12:11] is there a way to monitor a folder, and then when a new file gets put in to run a quick permission change? [12:11] nnull: probably on some hidden key in gconf-editor [12:11] but without it taking too large a hit on resources [12:11] omar: you probably want something more high-level than a direct ALSA wrapper :/ [12:11] omar: like SDL :p [12:11] omar: or OpenAL [12:11] erUSUL, kk [12:11] Chousuke, it depends on how use of ALSA wrapper is difficult :p [12:12] Chousuke, any doc for that ? [12:12] I don't know of C++ wrappers for alsa. [12:13] then i think i'd better work with SDL as always :( [12:13] omar: calling C libs from C++ isn't too hard; is it? (honestly i'm not a programer) [12:13] erUSUL, not at all [12:13] erUSUL: it's not, but a C API is not optimal for C++ code. [12:13] omar: take a look at OpenAL too. I hear it's good. [12:13] never used it though. [12:14] Chousuke, that's true, and then the program will be half written in C and C++ || Ok i'll check it out [12:14] thx [12:15] because SDL is not that convenient for a sound processing app :p [12:15] omar: also you can go higher on the toolchain ALSA<>Pulseaudio<>Gstreamer. if playback/record is all you need gstreamer may be better [12:16] hello everybody [12:16] mordof: inotify [12:16] erUSUL, does it manages sound input ?

WinSCP isn't setting it right no n matter what i try to do.. and i'm getting forbidden access when trying to view files - since my webserver setup requires the group to be set right [12:29] maek: The man page suggests that the gksu is a wrapper for su while gksudo is a wrapper for sudo [12:30] I have no idea what that means [12:30] maek: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo [12:30] !gksudo [12:30] 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) [12:30] all I know is gksudo [12:31] maek: gksudo uses roots config, gksu will use the users but still grant admin access [12:31] where can I find a list of most common ports use? [12:31] *goes on a forums search again* [12:31] google [12:31] Can anyone help a newbie post installation of ubuntu. I cannot see my second hard drive. All personal files are on this disk. Thanks [12:32] I wanted the commonl linux ports [12:32] hoslio: http://www.governmentsecurity.org/articles/CommonPorts.php [12:32] does ubuntu 8.04 come with a firewall turned on? [12:32] nope [12:32] yates: you can install firestarter [12:32] if so, how do i enable a specific port? [12:32] ActionParsnip, cheers for explaining that .. Ive learnt something new tonight : ) [12:32] gotta install firestarter, like pars said. [12:32] maek: always good [12:32] does firestarter continues to work when you disconnect it? [12:33] nope [12:33] I should like to have colorful terminal(different color for commands and output) [12:33] you gotta restart it every time you restart linux or shut it off. [12:33] so you have to start it all the times? [12:33] requires password. [12:33] but you can set up that it's a tab in your active tasks and otherwise not active. [12:34] hi guys, do you know whether ubuntu has the ntfs enabled by default after the installation §? [12:34] hoslio: crlcan81: you can add it to automatically startup [12:34] irc.paradise-irc.net [12:34] so will have a thunderbolt with a red background if someoen tries to active. [12:34] Chousuke, can you help in C++ ? ( in pm ? ) [12:34] which command? [12:34] napolinet: it can read ntfs out of the box, you need ntfs-3g to write [12:34] it's like the first thing I activate too. [12:34] napolinet: you cannt delete or write to files with weird permissions [12:35] Ubuntu is (I guess) the best linux distribution [12:35] The most user friendly I've seen. [12:35] Joe_le_fourbe: to you maybe, milions would agree, millions would disagree [12:36] I like it, won't bash any other linux users. They're more skilled then I. [12:36] Joe_le_fourbe: but as is life [12:37] parsnip: would you know how to find the language codes after ubuntu was already installed so as to manually enable it in other software when localize doesn't seem to pick it up and won't enable spellcheck? [12:37] it's on Kildclient [12:37] what is linux user - 499? [12:37] I have some red in the events tab in the Firestarter Firewall should i be concerned [12:38] crlcan81: never had to do it so no idea, sorry [12:38] Thought I'd ask. [12:38] crlcan81: i think you just install aspell and its ok [12:38] hmm.. in synaptic? [12:38] indeed. I believe Ubuntu's main strength is the superior documentation and user mass which provide help for new users. The Ubuntu philosophy is unsurpassed in the open source world - humanity towards others. The distro itself is far from the most advanced or bleeding edge, but it is good enough, stable enough and has documentation for 99% of your problems. [12:38] newbe1: depends what they say? [12:39] that was aimed at ActionParsnip and Joe_le_fourbe, by the way ;) [12:39] ActionParsnip: HTTP is one [12:39] Filthpig: thats one aspect of the distro but if something else is needed then its not fantastic [12:40] what's the difference between /etc/mtab and /etc/fstab? [12:40] Filthpig: like gentoo can be very robust and stable but takes time to install but the gentoo support is quite decent [12:40] !mtab | xbxb [12:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about mtab [12:40] couldn't find any man pages about it either [12:40] xbxb: http://www.brunolinux.com/02-The_Terminal/Fstab_and_Mtab.html [12:41] thanks [12:41] xbxb: 'man mount' is the man page you want [12:41] ActionParsnip, yes, and the installation procedure is why gentoo will never compete with the likes of ubuntu and mandriva. [12:41] Filthpig: why would any distro compete with another [12:41] jrib: ok, ty [12:41] Filthpig: its not a competition its getting the distro that suits your needs [12:42] how do you setup that you save he password every time it asks for synaptic and firestarter? or is it possible? [12:42] and the rest that is. [12:42] what does mean: Failed to build gem native extension when installing Ruby gem under ubuntu. [12:42] xbxb, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mtab [12:42] Filthpig: why do you think they are competing in any way? [12:43] for some reason kildclient isn't noticing aspell, cause it is already installed for english. [12:44] crlcan81: try installing aspell for other languages, try tab completing ;) [12:44] hmm? [12:44] rajec: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2007-April/003540.html [12:44] Hmm, how would I edit the logout options dialog? I want to remove everything apart from Shutdown, Reboot and Logout [12:44] crlcan81: you can tab complete package names so sudo apt-get install aspell(press tab) [12:45] Filthpig: you still there? [12:45] any one know how to (if possible) change a samsung sata 2 drive to sata 1? It doesn't have the jumpers to do so. [12:46] For security reasons I want to mount /var and /tmp on two separate partitions. How big should they be? What's the typical size of a /var or /tmp folder on an often used Linux system? [12:47] I did and it said was already newest version. [12:47] xbxb: du -h /var [12:47] crlcan81: did you get the option for other languages [12:47] crlcan81: whe you tab completed? [12:47] ActionParsnip, well I didn't mean compete in a PC vs. Mac kind of way, but you know, today Ubuntu is the face of open source to th world, like it or not. If you say "open source" to a man on the street, he will think of Firefox and Ubuntu, not Epiphany and Gentoo, if you get my meaning. And I also guess that it is in all major distro's interest to have as big an usergroup as possible as that will only enhance the distro's quality in terms of [12:47] bugfixing and innovation [12:48] typed sudo apt-get install aspell pressed tab then enter. [12:48] ActionParsnip: the version I'm using is a fresh install. Is this value of du representative then? [12:48] Hey I'm currently dual booting vista with ubuntu and I'd like to if possible to give some of the ubuntu partition back to windows. Can anyone help me out with this? === Administrator is now known as nabin [12:49] themes? [12:49] xbxb: if you havent mounted it on a seperate partition it will use the space assigned to / [12:49] JonnyWilko: You could try with gparted live-cd, at your own risk [12:49] also is saying that there are packages that were autoinstalled and no longer required, should I not touch them? or autoremove em like apt-get said I could? [12:49] http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ [12:49] I know I tried this sort of thing before and completely lost ubuntu and grub >.< not fun [12:50] hi, can anyone tell me how to write a gdm with both username and password displayed at the same instant [12:50] ActionParsnip, yeah I'm here, jI'm just active on several fronts ;) [12:50] Filthpig: i dont think 1 distro will be dominant or the leader as no users needs are identical, if we all used our computers identically then yes a single OS would work [12:50] <_paneb_> how do i get the UUID of a partition? [12:50] !uuid > _paneb_ [12:50] themes no? [12:50] _paneb_, please see my private message [12:51] Filthpig: unfortunately OSes dont fit human variety hence the thousands of distros of linux [12:51] Filthpig: if you head to www.distrowatch.org you will see the vast multitude of linux and bsd OSes [12:51] *does out of boredom* [12:51] Filthpig: most notorious doesnt make it "best" [12:52] but theres a 36GB piece of unallocated space but its in gparted its surrounded by a light blue box. I think its part of extended. [12:52] *but in gparted [12:52] JonnyWilko: can we have a pastebin of sudo fdisk -l [12:52] !paste | JonnyWilko [12:52] JonnyWilko: 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) [12:52] k [12:53] ActionParsnip, indeed, and that's what great about the open source world, people can build their linux/bsd/solaris distro of choice, but 90% of the world just wants something that works, and that's why ubuntu/mandriva/fedora/opensuse has the majority of desktop users today. [12:54] even a former windoze user like me can admit that. [12:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/44877/ [12:54] Filthpig: indeed but there are also people who want to play and optomise [12:55] Filthpig: its a whole choice but people seem to be jumping on the ubuntu bandwgon due to great press, much like firefox when it was released on windows [12:56] if I knew how to I'd probably learn to write my own optomized. [12:56] ActionParsnip, indeed, and that's a good thing for innovation, I never said ubuntu was best either, I said it had superior backing in terms of documentation, which is why so many newbies have embraced it instead of, say, mandriva [12:56] * ActionParsnip started on mandrake [12:56] but ill agree with the docs [12:57] although linux is linux so most of it applies to the other distros (like fstab etc) [12:57] as long as its a linux kernel [12:57] <_paneb_> jrib, thanks [12:57] !offtopic [12:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:57] did that pastebin help at all? === VirtualVelocity is now known as VirtualXistenz [12:58] I've been fiddling with red hat (years ago), mandrake, debian and ubuntu, as I can remember, but where all the other distros saw me swap back to windows, ubuntu made me remove windows from my computer === VirtualXistenz is now known as VirtualVelocity[ [12:59] ActionParsnip, Filthpig: mind moving the discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic?

[13:05] yes [13:05] feasible? [13:06] just remove the partition using fdisk [13:06] then boot to windows and fire up disk manager [13:06] ok how would I remove the partition. Sorry I'm quite new to ubuntu [13:06] you will see it and you can format it and make it a new partition or mount it to an empty folder in windows (much like in linux) [13:07] JonnyWilko: sudo cfdisk /dev/sda [13:07] hello,pls help me..how cam i put my script in Xchat.. === lore21 is now known as LORE120 === LORE120 is now known as lore20 [13:08] FATAL ERROR apparently [13:08] hi all [13:08] speaker`, in the menu there is a "load pluging or script" [13:08] speaker`: use pastebin, if you want to paste long text .. be it script or error log [13:08] i have a problem, when i connect my laptop(dell 1420) to crt monitor it works, but when i connect it to projector i doesnt y?

Only using it to try if I can automount my usb device with root access. [13:27] erUSUL: what is the default user account password then? password for 'ubuntu' [13:27] should I therefore try deleting it while using the live cd?

("Couldn't display computer") [13:28] JonnyWilko: you could try it [13:28] ok I'll try that [13:28] probs should backup everything first [13:29] ActionParsnip: well it's a usb mp3 player, so it probably has fat32 or somesuch [13:29] icarus-c: starred out (=not accessible by password) for the livecd, I should imagine.

I have just got Virtual BOx up and running from the Ubuntu 8.04 repositories. Installed FreeBSD 7.0 as a guest, but I can't for the life of me get networking working. I have tried NAT - then given the virtual machine a static ip / nameserver and gateway that reside on the public network, still no cookie (Can't even ping the gateway) then i toggled through the various networking settings to no avail. Am I miss [14:04] ing somehting here ? [14:05] sicaine: you got full updates and latest kernel? [14:05] yes ActionParsnip system is up to date [14:05] dusty_ guest additions also installed? , dont know it migh thelp [14:05] mrwhippy, that should only apply to rndc, your nameserver could still be operational [14:06] how can I update PATH environment var ? [14:06] unimatrix9, what is guest additions ? [14:06] mrwhippy, rndc is the tool to remotely control bind. [14:06] unop, k ill reboot now and see how it goes, can i ask before i go then what is rndc [14:06] unop, you read my mind, thanks [14:06] mrwhippy, you don't need to reboot [14:06] mrwhippy, just restart the bind service [14:06] So all of a sudden, all my fonts are off, my window decoration isn't what it used to be, and everything just looks generally huge. This is all despite the fact that I've removed Emerald. I've also killed compiz, which gives me my old decorations back, but the fonts are still huge. Any ideas what could have caused this? [14:06] ActionParsnip: anyways, thanks for your help. I'll try to find out what's broken with my automount, and meanwhile I can use manual mounting for usb devices [14:07] unop, k ah yes and i can release renew on client [14:07] mrwhippy, indeed [14:07] mrwhippy, though you might not need to renew the lease on the client [14:07] Ileden: indeed [14:07] ActionParsnip: however, is there a way to make them write-accessible for all users, not just root? [14:07] unimatrix9, how do I do that ? [14:07] c0mp13371331337: Well, I believe that those settings u had were set to follow Compiz And Emerald. Also, please do change ur nick, it's too long to type everytime to support you :) [14:07] ActionParsnip: because that would ease things :) [14:07] I added /etc/cron.daily/ntpdate to my ubuntu server with the line ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com and the permissions 755.

Someone know how I should get out of that mess? dpkg says it needs to be "manually run" but when I try to run it in the terminal it says you need "superpowers" to be able to do it. [14:54] <`Matir> fmello, then acpi should be working for you. does /var/log/messages contain anything interesting when you reboot? [14:55] `Matir, nothing interesting ...looks normal, but doesnt power off :/ [14:55] TWP-SirStaal: sudo dpkg --configure -a [14:55] <`Matir> TWP-SirStaal, run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' in a terminal. Most likely an installation was interrupted. [14:55] someone know a good, xorg.conf tutorial? [14:55] Yeahe how did you know? =P well thanks guys [14:56] ActionParsnip: The logs prove that the computer re-boots. -- What do you mean by 'to leak RAM'? [14:56] Hi, I need a little help for a chainloader with grub. with 2 ubuntu on 2 different disks. i get error 13. thanks! [14:56] bullgard4: when you kill an app, the ram its using is still maked as "in use" so when an application wants ram it cant use it [14:57] bullgard4: thihs allocated ram slowly builds up til you have none left [14:57] <`Matir> fmello, try removing the splash option from the boot loader and see if it gives you an error next time you try to shutdown [14:57] I have error with APM only [14:57] <`Matir> fmello, what sort of error? [14:57] bullgard4: old windows systems leaked ram like hell and some apps do too, closing the app rather than killing it is better [14:58] `Matir, doesnt find apm on bios [14:58] <`Matir> ActionParsnip, the kernel should reclaim memory from killed processes... if it doesn't it's a major kernel bug. [14:58] <`Matir> fmello, what kind of chipset does your motherboard use? do you know? [14:58] Can someone help me with a little printing problem I have?

[15:01] ActionParsnip: Thank you for commenting. [15:01] weboide: you dont chainload for linux, chainload is for windows [15:02] I can't seem to install Ubuntu. I don't get the installation menu. [15:02] ActionParsnip: I thought you should have a chainload so that when grub gets updated you don't have problems [15:02] weboide: just add the extra install to menu.lst [15:03] How can I list all the packages that can be upgraded? Something like sudo apt-get upgrade, but only the package names [15:03] Instead the shell is loading for me with something like Busybox loaded etc. [15:03] weboide: id assume that was the deal, ive never had 2 linuxes on 1 system [15:03] >?

[15:05] Brandon__: the :1 means the key is on line 1 of the file [15:05] ActionParsnip: You think you can help me? [15:05] Couldn't get my nic to work yesturday with Ubuntu server on a Dell poweredge 2650, with a broadcom nic. It detected fine, link was up, but could not get outbound. Today I put in a new nic, a linksys, same exact issue... === bitplex___ is now known as bitplex [15:06] GamingX: if it wont boot you got ram issues or the the cd is faulty. Did you try the noacpi and no dma options? [15:07] HymnToLife, thanks :) [15:07] Oh. It boots right, I click the install ubuntu, it loads the kernel and the splash screen occurs and then a shell opens up instead of the install menu. [15:08] It says something like Busybox version no...And something like or something like that. Not sure. [15:08] GamingX: and you got the alternative cd? === kunim_ is now known as kunim [15:08] Can anyone reccomend a decent X type nntp/usenet reader? [15:09] I've got both. But the ones I am using are the ones I received from Ubuntu. [15:09] Hi... Ubuntu doesnt support my rtl8187se wifi card. I can compile drivers that are online (not official) but they're very patchy. Anyone know if support is likely to be added for this card or will the laptop remain suitable for Windows only? [15:09] I copied the alternate cd right, but I get an error. Seems that the image is not working. [15:09] Any quick method to check the image from Windows itself? === hypnos__ is now known as hypnos [15:09] GamingX: can you ping the web? [15:09] !verify | GamingX [15:10] GamingX: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [15:10] GamingX: get the md5sum from a server [15:10] GamingX: and an md5sum checker [15:10] and check it [15:10] <`Matir> chazco, support is likely to come at some point [15:11] Any idea of an ETA? [15:11] chazco: you could use ndiswrapper? [15:11] ActionParsnip - It doesnt work, tried it [15:12] <_neko08__> Is there any nicer flash plugin without involving npviewer.bin in amd64? [15:13] Hi there, anyone here with experience using GaussView (the frontend to the GAUSSIAN program) on Ubuntu? I'm having some trouble with the GUI displaying incorrectly and would like some help [15:13] <`Matir> chazco, no idea, I'd check linuxwireless.org for progress on getting a driver in the kernel. [15:14] <`Matir> chazco, if it's in wide circulation I'd imagine it's high on their priorities === Guest3279 is now known as Orbixx [15:14] um, how do I tell cron to use bash instead of sh? [15:15] Sorry for being a total newbie here - but I need to upgrade from apache 2.2.3 to 2.2.9 (and I don't use the GUI). Can anyone help me out? FWIW, I've backed up the sites-enabled and the sites-available directories... [15:15] How long does it take to check the md5sum? [15:15] I've googled around and just can't find anything obvious [15:15] i do not have cgi-bin in my /var/www/ folder. how do i get that? [15:15] limitedwisdom, 1) Is version 2.2.9 on the repositories, and if not, 2) does a .deb package file exist for apache 2.2.9? [15:16] leeping2008, wow, I'm not sure how to tell either of those. :s [15:16] <`Matir> limitedwisdom, is there a feature in 2.2.9 you need? [15:16] limitedwisdom: sudo apt-cache apache [15:16] <`Matir> leeping2008, limitedwisdom: hardy repos contain 2.2.8 [15:17] I remember now, the installation redirects me to the prompt. [15:17] limitedwisdom: check whether it shows for the one you are looking for [15:17] well - I'm troubleshooting a problem with Request Tracker. I upgraded it and have been having some problems with the Web site it produces. I wanted to upgrade apache just to ensure I'm running latest version... [15:18] limitedwisdom, best place would be the apache website download the .deb and install that way [15:18] mitesh: it says "E: Invalid operation apache" [15:18] limitedwisdom: its sudo apt-cache search apache [15:18] (clustering) If I have a multithread java / perl application and run the app in server node (master) ,will the threads be exceuted in the slave nodes [15:18] limitedwisdom: try this one [15:18] limitedwisdom, do what capnhector says, download the .deb package for the latest version of Apache, and then type in: "sudo dpkg -i name_of_package.deb" [15:19] where you replace name_of_package by the actual name of the package ;) === _ is now known as Guest93752 [15:19] <`Matir> limitedwisdom, I'd recommend just making sure you do an 'apt-get update', then 'apt-get upgrade' (upgrade whole system) or 'apt-get install apache2' (just new apache2) [15:19] md5sum: WARNING: 8 of 1590 listed files could not be read [15:19] md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 1582 computed checksums did NOT match [15:19] <`Matir> limitedwisdom, it'll only give you 2.2.8, but then you have a hardy supported version [15:19] matir - that's what I was wondering....how does "apt-get install xxx" work? [15:19] I get the above errors while running the md5sum on the alternate CD image. [15:20] does it just get the latest supported version? [15:20] limitedwisdom, it gets the latest version in the repository [15:20] and "apt-get upgrade" upgrades everything? [15:20] <`Matir> limitedwisdom, gets the latest supported version as of the last 'apt-get update' [15:20] limitedwisdom, yes, it downloads the latest supported version from the repository, and then installs it with the "dpkg" program [15:20] <`Matir> limitedwisdom, yes. [15:20] nice [15:20] I think that's what I want - I don't need to be bleeding edge [15:20] :) [15:20] just up to date [15:20] can somebody tell me how to use subtitles with totem? dragging them into it doesn't work and i cant find any option [15:20] perfect...you guys rock! [15:20] thanks all [15:20] !Gparted [15:21] gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [15:21] i am facing issues with unbu /kubuntu on my laptop [15:21] GamingX: that means you should probably delete the image and download it again [15:21] power drain in 45 min [15:21] also it runs freaking hot [15:21] Finiras: install mplayer it better with subtitles [15:21] soundray: That was the alternate image, I have two copies from Ubuntu itself. They don't seem to install for me. [15:21] does ubuntu has power issues ? [15:22] GamingX: yeah, you said, initramfs prompt. Have you got an unusual disk controller? RAID? [15:22] does ubuntu has power managent issues ? [15:22] How do I check that? [15:22] gp: not usually, but some laptops have ACPI issues [15:22] oh - one more thing - will that upgrade ubuntu itself? I'm just curious...I'm running 7.0.4 fiesty fawn - will that change the version of ubuntu? [15:22] can anyone tell me what too do when after i instaled ubuntu on a new partition on my mac and restart it says "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" ? [15:22] (apt-get upgrade) [15:22] i am using sony vaio [15:23] GamingX: go to the BIOS setup and see if you have any RAID options enabled, and if so, disable them. [15:23] standard library have any container that can store generic objects? [15:23] ok. I'll just restart [15:23] does ubuntu has power issues ? [15:23] power drain in 45 min [15:23] @ limitedwisdom it will only upgrade the programs [15:24] i am using sony vaio [15:24] does ubuntu has power managent issues ? [15:24] gp: what was wrong with my reply? [15:24] gp: it's impolite to spam the channel with repetitions [15:24] it wasnt the one they wanted? [15:25] ok, then I'll ask a VERY difficult to answer question - do you guys typically upgrade to the latest stable versions? or is it just a matter of desired feature set? [15:25] @ limitedwisdom it depends on what im doing most of the time im upgrading for security fixes in which case i take current -1 [15:25] (to clarify - stable version of ubuntu) [15:25] hm :\ [15:27] Hi, I was trying to install a package downloaded with Firefox. I selected to open with GDebi (default) but when the download was complete I was told the program can be found. I do have it though, it opens if I click on the deb after download. How can I get Firefox to find the program? I'm on Hardy. [15:27] limitedwisdom: I'm update curious to see what's new [15:27] limitedwisdom: I upgrade to the latest whenever possible, partly out of curiosity, partly because hardware support usually improves between releases. [15:27] carandraug: :) [15:28] can = can't [15:28] soundray: I checked the bios and no raid device was enabled. [15:28] Is there an up to date install howto for 8.04? The partition editor does not have a partition resize option. [15:29] sysdoc i use an external partition manager like gparted [15:29] soundray: the porblem's when you're curious about the alpha version and that breaks your system [15:29] do someone know a GOOD xorg.conf TUTORIAL? [15:29] @ sysdoc then install my system [15:29] GamingX: okay, the next thing to try is a boot option. Early on in the boot process, does it pause at a boot: prompt? [15:29] KiDFlaSh: man xorg.conf :p [15:30] capnhector: I'm up and in gparted, won't allow me to resize here either [15:30] It didn't pause anywhere that I can think of. [15:30] @ sysdoc i hate doing this but get hirens boot its got acronis and pm [15:30] KiDFlaSh: which Ubuntu version do you have? [15:30] hardy heron [15:30] 8.04 [15:31] Hello!

Thanks for your time, Wimpie [15:31] ceed^: on the download window, right click on the file and select open containing folder [15:31] KiDFlaSh: when hardy came out, lots of xorg.conf tutorials became obsolete (or at least outdated). Have you tried configuring your graphics with gksudo displayconfig-gtk? [15:31] in Intrepid you don't even need a xorg.conf file anymore [15:32] I also have a question about partitioning. Can I use Acronis from Windows for shrinking of my Vista partition making my Linux partitions bigger without upsetting grub? [15:32] Anyone know of a good Ubuntu alternative to 'Tudumo' (a todo application)? I need at least the following features: Organising by categories, reminders, and tags. [15:32] wimpie: do you know the wireless chipset used in your machine? [15:32] maek: you don't? Why not? I'm trying to edit but made no changes. To avoid going offtopic, do you mind anwering in #ubuntu+1 ? [15:33] what is "landscape-client" .. it is displaying a dialog window .. Im doing an update [15:33] soundray i dont tried [15:33] what does it do? [15:33] soundray: How do you mean if me Networkcard is supported by Ubuntu ? [15:33] fuckin resolution in ubuntu...its shit [15:34] KiDFlaSh: it sets up xorg.conf for you according to settings you make via drop-down lists. It requires that you have at least basic X graphics running. [15:34] nox_, no cursing [15:34] nox_: That language is not appropriate here, try to keep it clean [15:34] nox_: don't let your frustration spoil your good manners [15:34] nox_: you got your video Hardware installed ? [15:34] sory but i am little angry [15:34] "its shit" .. is nigga talk .. isnt it [15:34] hardware installed [15:34] Martiini, no cursing here [15:34] nox_: yo nigga [15:35] wazzupp [15:35] Martiini: crude racism is particularly unwelcome here [15:35] GO to terminal: "Locate xorg" pico it and Edit your resolution wanted restart is and maybe it works.. [15:35] what means GKSUDO [15:35] nox_, Martiini: Be careful about language. [15:35] superuser do? [15:35] but WHAT GK? [15:35] KiDFlaSh: yes (for graphical programs) [15:35] kk [15:35] Like 'sudo', for GTK programs. [15:36] soundray: define racism [15:36] Martiini, stop. [15:36] but i have, kde [15:36] aloo all :) [15:36] soundray: [15:36] ok i try one more time edit xorg.conf.... [15:36] Hmm... Sorry, any GUI.

I noticed a whole big thread on the same issue I am having and there seems to be no concrete answer to that one. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765195 [15:36] CAN you guys stop talking crap and go back to the Ubuntu topics... [15:36] soundray: i have kde do it work as well? [15:37] wimpie: have you found out the name of your wireless chipset yet? [15:37] anyone know how to set up a JetDirect EX Plus 3 Print Server so I can print to a printer on the network from my Laptop running Hardy [15:37] KiDFlaSh: probably [15:37] soundray: SOmething with realtex still searching for the version.. [15:38] wimpie: look at lspci output [15:38] soundray: What do you think of my question above? [15:38] hey all, wanted to confirm this is a bug before I report it. Using the "Printer Configuration" I get a "password required" "password for on localhost?" however, I'm using LDAP and my username/group (admin) is provided by LDAP not in /etc/groups. So I cannot edit/change printers [15:39] what is "landscape-client" .. its displaying a dialog for me [15:39] GamingX: I think you should try the all_generic_ide boot option. See the factoid: [15:39] Which IRC client are you guys using? I'm on XChat. [15:39] !bootoptions > GamingX [15:39] GamingX, please see my private message [15:39] nikki: weechat [15:40] Weechat?

[15:41] how do I query ubottu [15:42] Martiini: you can query the bot in PM. He doesn't mind [15:42] Martiini: /msg ubottu Hi! [15:42] PsiKlops: there is a page about booting iso files .. google it [15:42] carandraug: it's more complicated then that, once ldap is enabled, all authentication is done via ldap, not local files. [15:42] hello, i'll need some help with gpg. i lost my passwd :/ [15:42] capnhector That my main Issue, what do i write in grub ?

There should be a button in the update manager window [15:47] Martiini: /msg ubottu usage and read the wiki page it gives you [15:47] !upgrade | edgy [15:47] edgy: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [15:47] @ carandraug thanks forthe link [15:47] capnhector: Not for Dapper to Hardy.

[15:51] - at least I'm learning a lot about ubuntu in the process... [15:52] limitedwisdom, at least your learning [15:53] limitedwisdom: please only write relevant stuff in here. Can you run 'sudo apt-get -f install' once more and see if it does anything.

[15:53] how about leaving ubottu open to all users [15:53] anyone seen a .deb of fluxbox 1.1.0?

[15:57] soundray: I don't understand the use of apt-cache policy people here use sometimes, is it only to tell you whether you are using the latest package? [15:57] Soundray: Can I open a Private chat with you so I can spam the report ? [15:57] Martiini: Because people submit bad things. [15:57] edgy: it's to find out what package is installed, what candidate is available and which one apt would prefer if you were to upgrade. [15:58] wimpie: no, please use a pastebin [15:58] !pastebin | wimpie [15:58] wimpie: 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) [15:58] Pici: define "bad things" [15:58] attempting upgrade to see if that fixes some of these problems. thank you for the recomendation. [15:58] Martiini: how can something as simple as moderation be impossible? it's not really an on-topic discussion.. [15:58] how do I contribute to ubottu database then [15:58] soundray: "what candidate is available and which one apt would prefer if you were to upgrade" is not clear, wouldn't apt always prefer the latest if I upgrade? [15:59] Martiini: Things we don't need factoids for, bad advice, cursing, etc... if you want to discuss the policy you can join us in #ubuntu-ops to do so, [15:59] got a problem guys dpkg here it is in paste bin [15:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/44926/ [15:59] Gnea: moderation .. can u moderate society .. or information .. its impossible .. [15:59] tore: it's on debian sid repositories, but you sure you want to install that one? http://packages.debian.org/sid/x11/ [15:59] edgy: no, there is a process called pinning with which you can prefer older versions or repos if necessary. [15:59] !pinning | edgy [15:59] edgy: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [15:59] Martiini: this is Ubuntu, not the whole of human society or any other portion thereof. [16:00] Gnea: are u prepared to talk to me ,, please [16:00] yes or no [16:00] soundray: aha! and that pinning is normally done by the user not by ubuntu people? [16:00] i hate having the best of the best crap ubuntu never reconizes it [16:00] Martiini: respect of borders is crucial in such terms. please, #ubuntu-ops is the place to discuss this.

[16:09] set it to the representative port [16:09] Unoqueanda, what have you tried so far [16:09] os2mac, if you want to run a command as root .. place the job in /etc/crontab [16:09] Dred_furst, I have tried that already. it works find with the other 4100 that has the card in it, it is just this one with the jetdirect print server [16:09] unop: for root? [16:09] what is this "card" [16:10] bazhang i dont undestand u [16:10] is it possible to make iso dvd 9 to dvd5 format? [16:10] os2mac, for root yes .. though you could use sudo there to have the command run as another user - by the virtue of sudo not prompting root for passwords [16:10] Unoqueanda, you have ubuntu hardy installed? [16:10] yeah [16:10] Unoqueanda: who makes the card. [16:10] Unoqueanda: he's asking if you've tried plugging the card in or booted ubuntu up to try to use it. [16:10] can i somehow resize a swap partition? [16:10] anybody know of Ubuntu software that supports my Sandisk CompactFlash USB card reader? [16:10] legend2440 - there is no .ICEauthority file in my home, and I am looking with hidden files viewable [16:10] ok the error I am getting is "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit times out -> eth0 Transmit timed out, status 0003, PHY status 786d, resetting..." [16:11] Bleemus: just plug it in :) [16:11] remoteCTR1, sure, disable swap and use something like [g|qt]parted [16:11] Bleemus: does it not jsut work out of the box? [16:11] Unoqueanda, what does ifconfig show; two entries or three [16:11] unop: its on a server [16:11] Dred_furst, the 4100 have a little spot were you can put a JetDirect network card into the printer. Most out our 4100's have them but one went back and never got a replacement, so we use this external printer server. It sees the address and that it is a 4100 but it won't print to it. [16:11] as soon as it tries to send a packet it dies [16:11] i want to crack my wep password but i cant inject [16:11] unop: and how do i disable swap? [16:11] Dred_furst, sorry, one went bad is what i ment to say [16:11] Unoqueanda, why do you need to do that for your own password [16:11] wimpie: sorry, just had to work for a sec. There is no wireless device listed, which probably means that it's on the USB. Could you pastebin lsusb output pls? [16:11] remoteCTR1, parted is a command-line/curses app. swapoff to disable swap [16:12] unop: nice, thanks! [16:12] bazhang to investigate [16:12] so have you put ubuntu to point at the new print server [16:12] anyone, any ideas about "session lasted less than 10 seconds" when no .ICEauthority file present?

[16:21] vikku: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.20-15-server should do it. [16:22] soundray: K thanks I will test that.. [16:22] ey help please, I cant see my ntfs partition after I closed windows uncleanly..I rebooted and turn off windows cleanly and then started on linux but it doesnt work..I cant see ntfs from linux [16:22] limitedwisdom, do you have a seperate home partition [16:22] Hi everyone! [16:22] bazhang: so he is on fiesty... so he has to upgrade Fiesty-Edgy-Gutsy-Hardy. which is probably what he's trying to do. [16:22] wimpie: ndiswrapper procedures won't have changed too much between 7.10 and 8.04 [16:22] no. [16:22] any idea where to get? [16:22] os2mac, efgh :) [16:22] remoteCTR1, parted -l should list those parameters, start and end are blocks [16:22] correct - I'm trying to get to 7.10 so I can then go to 8.0.4 (maybe) [16:22] is there a separate channel for ubuntu server related questions? [16:22] vikku: you added 2.6.20-15.27 [16:22] MrKennie: its working it seems, thnks [16:22] unop: how do i determine those blocks? [16:22] i'm on hardy 64bit btw [16:23] os2mac, do you use the printers internal print server or an external one? [16:23] bazhang: sorry I just explained to someone else... it's early for me. [16:23] remoteCTR1, parted -l lists those [16:23] os2mac, reason he is asking wether home is on second partition is that a clean install is always preferred over an unpgrade [16:23] unop: kk thanks [16:23] KDB9000: I use a linksys wireless print server. [16:23] os2mac, with home on the second partition windows and linux reinstalls are much less painful [16:23] vikku: the list it offers, the right most info just informs you of the exact version they are fot [16:23] os2mac, to USB or Parallel? [16:23] is there a separate channel for ubuntu server related questions? [16:23] KDB9000: usb [16:23] limitedwisdom, that repos list is still not right though; best to reset to what it was and then upgrade (minus the third party repos) [16:24] hh [16:24] stapel: no, just ask here. [16:24] MrKennie: hmmm was thinking abt it that way but was not sure.... thnks again [16:24] #ubuntu-server stapel [16:24] vikku: np [16:24] stickboy, have a look through apt-get or your favorite package search tool [16:24] unop: says invalid option -- l [16:24] stapel: oops, sorry stapel, thanks bazhang [16:24] I know I'm a tool - but I didn't save it before I changed it (and I should know better) [16:24] os2mac, ah. i think because those are newer and that it is USB it won't help me. we are using a 3 port external (all parallel) and the printer in plugged in that way. [16:24] me clap hands [16:24] I want to share a folder with samba [16:24] Soundray: Yeah I read it and I think it might work yes will test it now :) very thanks :) [16:24] * yusuf_ clap hands [16:25] yusuf_, do you have a ubuntu support question [16:25] KDB9000: but you should still be able to use CUPS to point to a shared printer....you said the jetdirect card failed so your using a computer as a print server? [16:25] wimpie: hope you can get it to work. If you get stuck, come back and describe the problem. [16:25] connect with croossover cable to server and be able to access that folder [16:25] remoteCTR1, hmm. are you sure you have it down as. parted -l [16:25] ey help please, I cant see my ntfs partition after I closed windows uncleanly..I rebooted and turn off windows cleanly and then started on linux but it doesnt work..I cant see ntfs from linux [16:25] sorry got mixed up with the commands, new to ubuntu and linux [16:25] #logs [16:25] attickid: you probably need to run chkdsk in windows [16:26] os2mac, no. the internal (removable) network card for the 4100 died, so we are using an external jetdirect though a parallel cable. I am trying to connect to that. [16:26] unop: heh sorry dude but i dont understand that phrase to have it down? [16:27] remoteCTR1, to "have it down" is like to have "written it down" [16:27] MrKennie:thank you.. [16:27] attickid: np [16:27] unop: yes sure i am sure:) [16:27] os2mac, here is a pic of it. http://www.fieldelectric.co.uk/manage/gallery/hp%20jet%202.JPG [16:27] MrKennie:I can perfectly access my files from windows, is there any risk to lose my data? [16:27] os2mac, bbl, got some thing i need to take care of right now. [16:27] stickboy, also could explore using nautilus-scripts to mount/unmount iso : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html [16:27] Is there a way to merge the contents of three folders (with ether A + B + C or A+B = AB and then AB + C) removing duplicates and preserving folder structure? [16:27] remoteCTR1, hmm, not sure why that is. the version i have (parted (GNU parted) 1.8.8) has an option -l (or --list) [16:27] unop: did you mean fdisk -l perhaps? [16:27] ah - just found the sources.list template for fiesty 7.0.4 on the ubuntu Web site. [16:28] will change to it and see what happens. [16:28] soundray, no, not really [16:28] attickid: you should be fine running chkdsk in windows, you will need to reboot windows for it to scan, though [16:28] unop: i have a help option but that gives that cryptic stuff that i dont quite understand... [16:28] ok , does compiling something from source ie doing 1>compiling, 2> make;make install affect the c libraries of your host system ? [16:28] thanks i'll look into it [16:28] stetho: you could probably whip something up with rsync [16:28] unop: I get an invalid option on parted -l, too [16:28] Where are the sessions config files ? [16:28] MrKennie: Thank you [16:28] ok , does compiling something from source ie doing 1>configure, 2> make;make install affect the c libraries of your host system ? [16:28] soundray, remoteCTR1 what version of parted do you guys have? [16:28] attickid: ubuntu probably refuses to mount it if it has a certain flag set. [16:29] AtomicMongoose: which clears when you run chkdsk [16:29] unop: 1.7.1 [16:29] oops [16:29] soundray, ok, that might explain it - i've got 1.8.8 here (though it was built from source) [16:29] unop: that would be 1.7.1 [16:29] unop: what does -l do? [16:29] remoteCTR1, errm, go through the manpage, see if you have an alternative [16:30] vikku: no, in some of cases that will just install to /usr/local too [16:30] stetho: it would look something like this: rsync -av A/ B/ and the same for B/ C/ [16:30] soundray, -l is --list -- dumps layout information pretty much like fdisk -l does [16:30] vikku, not recommended, but see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo [16:30] unop: what am i looking for? there is not much there that i would consider useful [16:30] remoteCTR1, something to list partitions, dump information about disk layout/geometry perhaps? [16:31] unop: no such thing... [16:31] stetho: if you want rsync to delete the source i think you can just use --delete in your command. [16:31] mmm...#ubuntu-server is a bit slow....can anyone here help me? [16:31] went to install acetoneiso and said i had some dependency issues. went into update and found a bunch of stuff listed. said i had to look for something looking the broken filter... [16:31] I've searched the wiki, the forums, google, the moon. Where are the config files for the sessions ? [16:31] stapel, well that would depend on what is wrong. [16:31] MrKennie: & grobda24: will check out some info , btw iam virtualizing the Ubuntu using Qemu for all this purpose [16:32] jameslr: --delete removes files in the destination that aren't present in the source [16:32] remoteCTR1, ahh well, I guess you'll have to seek out an alternative to parted .. does the remote server have X installed, you could use gparted or qtparted over SSH [16:32] ? [16:32] trying to share a folder with samba...not quite sure how to edit smb.conf [16:32] unop: soundray i dont understand in the first place why ubuntu makes a 443GB big swap partition isnt that a little ridiculous? [16:32] Hey guys - just made a pretty stupid mistake. Wanting to view an html file owned by root in firefox I closed firefox and ran it from the shell with sudo. worked fine, I could read the html file. Upon closing firefox and re-running it as normal user however, all of my bookmarks/saved passwords etc seem to have gone. Is there any way to restore that? [16:32] soundray: I now at the bit that I have to download a WIndows Driver wich one do I have to use when I got a 64-bit Ubuntu version ?? [16:32] vikku: I read your question wrong, go with what grobda24 suggested. Also make sure you read the documentation that comes with the source you are compiling. [16:32] unop: can that work with a live cd? [16:32] remoteCTR1: it certainly is, but I haven't heard of that bug before [16:32] remoteCTR1, hmm, it's probably more plausible that you made an error? :) [16:32] MrKennie: Ok [16:33] remoteCTR1, sure, a live CD is perfect [16:33] wimpie: I think you need a 64bit Windows driver then, but I'm not certain -- please ask the channel. [16:33] Caly08 [16:34] caly08 [16:34] m1dn1ght, heh, this is why you should never run GUI apps under sudo - use gksudo instead [16:34] stapel, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/configuring-samba.html [16:34] unop: soundray what error could i possibly make when i set it up with entire disk using lvm? it does it all on its own... now i got 997GB root partition and 443GB swap:D [16:34] I want help in disabling terminal [16:34] m1dn1ght, does this command return anything? find ~/.mozilla -user root [16:35] Hello Can some one help me with a little problem I have with ndiswrapper (problem not really) but Which one should I use as Driver hen I got a 64-bit Ubuntu version ? Should I use 64-bit Windows driver aswell then Here is the driver link http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true [16:35] remoteCTR1: do you really need that much swap? lol [16:35] !samba stapel [16:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about samba stapel [16:35] remoteCTR1, that's one big disk you have :) [16:35] user__: can you explain a bit more? [16:35] I want help in disabling terminal [16:35] user__: can you explain a bit more? [16:35] unop: that is one fine raid5 with 4x500GB [16:36] !samba > stapel [16:36] stapel, please see my private message [16:36] MrKennie: not at all which is why i am struggling to have it resizued;) [16:36] remoteCTR1, did you say all this is on a LVM setup at the moment? [16:36] soundray: I think he mean he is a Systeemmanager or something and he want that ppl don go in terminal to get acces with "backdoors" or something // Is that what you meant user__ ? [16:36] user__, why would you need to do that === seisen_ is now known as seisen [16:36] what is the name for the sidebar in nautilus for gtkrc? === jesse is now known as Guest30496 [16:37] unop: it is [16:37] unop: heh - yeah, won't be doing that again. here's the output: http://pastebin.com/m36323167 [16:37] wimpie: it could mean something else, though, so it's not worth speculating [16:37] user__: the "terminal" is linux. The GUI is just the pretty face. I'm not sure you *can* disable terminal. you can remove the icon though. [16:38] unop: why? [16:38] soundray: so I just should use the WinXP one ? [16:38] remoteCTR1, if you disable swap (using swapoff) -- you can resize lvm volumes using lvresize [16:38] wimpie: if it's 64bit, yes [16:39] remoteCTR1, so you'll need to shrink the swap partition with lvresize first .. then grow the adjacent partition (again using lvresize) [16:39] unop: yes and no that throws errors that it cant read the superblock, etc [16:39] soundray: Yeah k I think I found the right one now going to install it [16:39] wimpie: fingers crossed ;) [16:39] unop: actually i was going to shrink the other partition also as i am going to implement some more lvms for xen [16:39] m1dn1ght, ok, this ought to rectify that. find ~/.mozilla -user root -exec sudo chown $USER.$USER {} \; [16:40] unop: that is also kinda crappy that you can ONLY unse the entire disk with lvm and have to resize it manually afterwards, debian can do that properly [16:40] unop: OK - will give that a try now [16:40] m1dn1ght, make sure you close firefox down first [16:40] unop: you're a bleedin genius. Thanks a million :) [16:41] remoteCTR1, i don't see why ubuntu should do it differently to debian .. it's the same LVM package [16:41] how does one put sudo required commands in the startup? [16:41] unop: its a different setup dialog [16:41] idefix_, place your commands in /etc/rc.local - without sudo [16:41] unop: trust me i been cursing:D [16:41] idefix_: what startup? System or gnome? [16:41] How to increase the screen resolutions ? [16:41] system startup [16:41] remoteCTR1, errm, i wonder what tool it is you are using [16:41] what would happen if I was to install the 32bits Ubuntu into a computer with a 64bits processor? Should I install the 64bits? I've heard the 64 is a pain [16:42] !boot | idefix_ [16:42] idefix_: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [16:42] carandraug: it isn't a pain any more. [16:42] carandraug: should work just fine [16:42] soundray: it have to wait till later that installing going to eat first and then look if it is worked [16:42] See ya all later [16:42] carandraug: it used to be, but I've had very little trouble with hardy 64 on various machines -- except java applets are still a bit difficult [16:43] and flash crashes now and again [16:43] remoteCTR1, lvresize is the same on debian and ubuntu .. it's part of the lvm2 package [16:43] unop: I think he's referring to the "use entire disk" feature of ubiquity [16:43] unop: oh that you mean i meant during setup debian asks you for partitioning information while ubuntu can obviously only partition the entire disk with lvm [16:44] soundray: MrKennie: Ok thanks. I'll be installing on a friends computer and It would be my first time with 64 bits. [16:44] So I created a host aliasing 127.0.0.1 so I could have a seperate domain for each site on my test web server (home.localhost, foo.localhost etc) which I now realize was a mistake [16:44] carandraug: on the whole, though, 64bit is pretty painless now. [16:44] remoteCTR1: no, you can have full partitioning control, but you must select "Manual" in the installer [16:44] remoteCTR1, bahh .. forget what has happened so far -- it's done.. focus on what needs to be done from here on. [16:45] As I deleted the alias, and yet now whenever I go to localhost I get forwarded to home.localhost, which no longer exists. So I can't view any site at all unless I put the alias back in [16:45] Folks, grobda24 is having an issue where he can't modify his applications menu, nor can he stop a graphical app from running on startup, any ideas? [16:45] carandraug: if it's on a friend's computer, and he might need java applets at some point, go for 32bits. [16:45] remoteCTR1, lvresize is a tool that allows you to shrink lvm volumes [16:45] it seems to work! [16:45] Anyone know how I might go about solving this? :/ I'd be grateful [16:45] no chitchat is allowed here, right? [16:45] carandraug: you don't lose much, except a tiny bit of performance and support for RAM >>3GB [16:46] idefix_, right, #ubuntu-offtopic for that [16:46] soundray: ok. I'll go with 32bits then. It's a laptop and has only 512Mb RAM [16:46] unop that even seems an inappropriate channel.. is there no real only chitchatchannel somewhere? [16:46] alphabeta: sorry to be such a bore but http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/ is worth a read. (assuming this is what you were trying to do) [16:47] carandraug: and your friend's not into numbercrunching and video encoding? [16:47] idefix_, #defocus perhaps ... ##linux even :) [16:47] soundray: manual does not provide for lvm [16:47] Yay! I'm not banned anymore. :) [16:47] i am having a problem with Ubuntu, I can't make a binary become "executable" when it is on a FAT partition. Anyone can help? [16:48] remoteCTR1: ah, okay. Then you'll need the alternate install CD for full control [16:48] remoteCTR1, lvm isn't a command, it's an idea .. there are many tools depending on what you want to do with lvm [16:48] !alternate | remoteCTR1 [16:48] remoteCTR1: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [16:48] soundray: no. Aside office, firefox and messaging he won't need anything else [16:48] MrKennie: I'm pretty familiar, had them set up correctly for the seperate hosts. problem now is that even when apache is configured with one master catchall vhost (NameVirtualHost * with no ServerName) localhost still redirects to home.localhost, which doesn't exist :/ [16:48] Anyone know how to find specific irc channels related to my interest? I'm looking for one where I can get advice on dreadlocks right now. [16:48] unop: i resized the swap with gparted on the live cd now which still leaves me 435GB unallocated now but somehow i dont see that as free together with the other diskspace from shrinking the other partition [16:48] carandraug: 32bit it is then, as any performance difference would be tiny. [16:49] hey guys, i got my iphone in discoverable mode and i have my bluetooth manager open but the phone isnt showing up in the browse devices list [16:49] soundray: i guess alternate desktop would not be quite the right choice for a server, right?:) [16:49] *newbie warning* how do I setup "resumable" file server in ubuntu? [16:49] remoteCTR1, i suppose you need to grow the adjacent partition to fill up the free space [16:49] remoteCTR1: it doesn't matter [16:49] remoteCTR1, i'm not very good with gparted [16:49] soundray: ok. Thanks a lot [16:49] unop: i know i am a bit familiar with lvm, i know what it is and what it does, it is not the first time that i am tinkering with it actually... [16:49] i am having a problem with Ubuntu, I can't make a binary become "executable" when it is on a FAT partition. Anyone can help? [16:50] Anyone knows of a good GNOME alternative to Amarok? I've used Amarok, but it gets very slow for me under GNOME. Thanks. [16:50] nikki: rhythmbox or Listen [16:50] !irc | hal_v2 check last link [16:50] hal_v2 check last link: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [16:50] sinan: how are you mounting the FAT partition? From /etc/fstab ? [16:50] soundray: yes [16:50] alphabeta: how were you setting up the sites? using sites-avaible or..? [16:50] unop: gparted has a dropdown menu on top to the right where you need to chose the device, and the other free space would be on another device now*confused* [16:51] Thanks. [16:51] sinan: could you put your fstab on http://paste.ubuntu.com for me to have a look? [16:51] soundray: sure, one second please. [16:51] os2mac: did he check in System>Preferences>Sessions>Startup Programs to see if gui app is listed there? if it is remove or uncheck it [16:51] MrKennie: yeah. a2ensite and all. But I disabled all the sites, and enabled the default one that comes with install. localhost still redirects to home.localhost, which causes firefox to look for www.home.localhost as it doesn't exist [16:52] soundray: there you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44943/ [16:52] So heres a question - Anyone know where to find an edgy repo? :) [16:52] unop: gawd! you need to go to edit and then apply changes, it doesnt do it an its own:D [16:52] MrKennie: oddly enough going to my public IP in firefox also redirects to home.localhost, so at first I thought it was some sort of dns cache (and I haven't really ruled that out) [16:52] obso, it is no longer supported [16:52] can anyone recommend a good voip solution that can be traffic shaped.. dont say Skype, unless you can tell me how to prioritize random ports in both ends ;) [16:52] remoteCTR1, right, it's so you can perform multiple operations at once [16:53] obso, and feisty is only supported for three more weeks [16:53] grobda24: [07:51] os2mac: did he check in System>Preferences>Sessions>Startup Programs to see if gui app is listed there? if it is remove or uncheck it [16:53] bazhang: yes, i know this - that dosent change the fact i have a server with it on it that im migrating. [16:53] i have a problem on xubuntu-7.10. i wanna install skype from the medibuntu repos, but i keeps failing with requesting libqt-core and libqt-gui >= 4.3.2 - is there a way to convince apt-get to use a lesser version of skype? [16:53] Exiga [16:53] guess ill compile rsync [16:53] alphabeta: when you relaod apache do you get any warnings or errors? [16:53] sinan: thanks, give me a minute [16:53] unop: ok i am confident that its ok now [16:53] Liolikas: i don't wanna use ekiga, i must use skype. [16:53] what's the command syntax to ssh into a computer that's on another network? I know the computer's hostname and the network's external IP [16:54] MrKennie: nope, other than the usual apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [16:54] tom use dpkg -i blabla.deb [16:54] alphabeta: nothing in /etc/hosts? [16:54] Liolikas: where do i get the necessary .deb with the correct dependencies? [16:54] os2mac, legend2440 ... I checked again. It's not in startup programs but was in current session if though it's not open. I removed that, maybe that will do it. [16:54] balz, as long as you can ping the other host. shh user@hostname [16:54] alphabeta: well, nothing that shouldn't be there [16:54] ssh IP -l user [16:54] if though = even though [16:54] MrKennie: well I had some aliases to home.localhost etc in there but took them all out, now theres just localhost jason-desktop and the ipv6 stuff [16:55] unop: don't i need to define the IP address? i'm on a separate network [16:55] tom google maybe [16:55] sinan: I think you should try changing fmask in lines 13 and 15 to 0033 instead of 0133. Then remount and test. === cshadowrun is now known as CShadowRun [16:55] balz: you need to have them forward a port for you to do that [16:55] alphabeta: restarted firefox since? firefox has a habit of caching [16:55] soundray: ok, thanks :) [16:55] alphabeta: that's already done [16:55] balz: you can't force your way into their network [16:55] i just need to know the command syntax [16:55] balz, depends .. if the hostname resolves to the correct IP address, you can use the hostname [16:55] !footprint [16:55] balz: well then just connect to the external ip at the port thats forwarded. you don't need their hostname :) [16:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about footprint [16:55] rsync is doing the job - thanks for the suggestion [16:55] MrKennie: tried a full reboot, didn't help :( [16:55] alphabeta: hm [16:56] alphabeta... i'm completely lost. I'm at school and i want to ssh into my home box which is behind a router [16:56] Any ideas what the 6.06 server footprint is? [16:56] alphabeta: no .htaccess files flaoting around you're not aware of? [16:56] balz: ssh myhomeip:myforwardedport [16:56] alphabeta: thanks [16:56] Is there anyway to allow multiple applications to use /dev/dsp at the same time? [16:56] balz, is your router setup to forward ssh traffic to your machine? [16:56] unop. yes i opened port 22 for the specific machine's hostname [16:56] balz then you need to ssh to the external IP address of the router and then forward the ssh port to the ip address of your computer on your router. [16:56] Is there anyway to allow multiple applications to use /dev/dsp at the same time? [16:56] MrKennie: hmm.. [16:56] balz, then you should just be able to ssh to the router's IP address [16:57] oh i see! the router handles it from there... [16:57] *facepalm* [16:57] duh. okay cool thanks [16:57] balz, right, the router is setup to forward traffic with a destination port of 22 .. [16:57] Is there anyway to allow multiple applications to use /dev/dsp at the same time? [16:57] * os2mac for teh win! [16:57] nikki: don't spam :/ use a sound daemon. look into pulseaudio or esd [16:58] Sorry. :( [16:58] alphabeta: I'm not sure why apache would redirect unless there was something liek a redirectmatch directive or similar somewhere [16:58] unop: riiight... i thought you might have to specify external IP *and* hostname [16:58] unop: what if i there are two different computers that i might want to ssh into? [16:58] balz: nope ... the router handles the forward. [16:58] HELP, my CPU frequency is to the max (2,4GHz) without reason !!! [16:58] (hi) [16:58] balz: well you have 2 options. forward 2 ports, or ssh to the second from the first [16:58] balz, you'd have to setup the router to forward at two different ports [16:59] the CPU usage is 7% but the freq is too high !! [16:59] balz, then you connect to the router at the port you want [16:59] ooh okay. so once i'm sshed into the first box, i just log in and type "ssh hostname" [16:59] balz: yeah you can do that [17:00] cool thanks guys [17:00] MrKennie: nope :( I have some rewrite conditions but no redirects, and they're all relative (just rewrite . index.php) [17:00] balz, as long as the first machine knows of 'hostname' [17:00] balz: but it would be easier to setup two different ports that way you only have to ssh once [17:00] right. i might do that [17:00] nikki: s'alright. the ubuntu wiki has some good stuff for setting up pulseaudio [17:00] cool. thanks much guys [17:00] np [17:00] sinan: how are you getting on -- did it work? [17:01] http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup nikki [17:01] what he said. Thought it was on the ubuntu wiki :p [17:01] i'm trying to create a bzr branch of mplayer so i can create personal packages that track the official releases but some of the launchpad branches don't seem to be setup and others give bzr: not a branch [17:01] HELP, my CPU frequency is to the max (2,4GHz) without reason !!! [17:01] alphabeta: hmm, I'm not really sure what could be causing that. If you've tried to restore it back to default perhaps purge apache2-common and reinstall it to get the ubuntu defaults. [17:01] can someone here explain what's going on or should i be asking on ubuntu-dev? [17:02] MrKennie: as good an idea as any. I'll give it a go, thanks [17:02] Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate your help! :) [17:02] Ok, I did a reinstall of ubuntu on this PC, and I am encountering the same issue after enabling the nvidia graphics drivers [17:02] kooothor_: not all CPU types support frequency scaling. What kind do you have? [17:02] samtb: it'd probably be better, I don't know how many people in here are package developers [17:02] intel core 2 duo on macbook pro, normally it stays @ 800 Mhz [17:03] Can anyone help with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=914546 (it's wine + ubuntu + ruckus problems ) it's very well documented. [17:03] Dred_furst: what's the problem? [17:03] when I do a apt-get install I see some suggested and recommended packages aside from what I want to install, how do I install them as well, other than copying their names and pasting after apt-get install? [17:03] what is the best vnc program you can use for remote desktop for ubuntu [17:03] Okay... next question... possibly a dumb one. I forgot my router's external ip... is there any way to figure it out externally? Maybe a traceroute of some sort? [17:03] How do I locate php-cli I tried the command locate php-cli but it didn't return the location [17:03] MarcoBXBRO1: TightVNC? [17:03] alphabeta, the network card is resetting as soon as it tries to send a packet [17:03] alphabeta: thanks - it's more about the bzr hosting to start with i guess, but i'll go over there [17:03] error404notfound: why use command line if you're looking for convenience? [17:03] dmesg says the transmission timed out [17:03] alphabeta: because I want to... [17:04] My maximum resolution is 1280 x 1024 i want it larger resolution [17:04] does tightvnc have a server or is it just client side [17:04] kooothor_: do you have a terminal open? [17:04] error404notfound: well then be prepared to type alot :) [17:04] MarcoBXBR01 tightvnc has a server [17:04] the package is tightvncserver i believe [17:04] alphabeta: that I am... isn't there just a switch with apt-get that installs those packages as well... [17:04] balz: yes... [17:04] anyone here using WengoPhone VoIP? [17:04] soundray, yep [17:05] alphabeta, NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out [17:05] status 0003 PHY status 786d [17:05] hey there, Im installing xubuntu under a RAID0 and im just not sure about one thing, mount options theres several options and I can't really find documentations on what each does and what would be the best option for running a RAID0? [17:05] kooothor_: please open a second one and run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog', then in the other run 'sudo invoke-rc.d powernowd restart'. See if any errors are logged in the "tail" window. [17:05] I got new (old) Dell C400 and installed Ubuntu with wubi, because I can not install normally it has only external box with CDRW and no boot from that box :( Maybe someone know how can I install "normal" Ubuntu. [17:05] Dred_furst: just a shot in the dark, but did you try using envy instead of ubuntus restricted drivers? It's usually more up to date. I had some trouble with the official ones and my wireless card [17:05] balz do you have a hostname assigned to the router? [17:05] uatever: you are a brave man [17:06] os2mac: not that i know of [17:06] why balz? [17:06] roflol [17:06] alphabeta, the restricted driver it used is for the graphics card [17:06] balz: then I can't think of any way to do discovery on it. [17:06] uatever: raid0 ... bad experiences [17:06] os2mac: fair enough. i guess i'll be patient and wait until i get home [17:06] the network card is a via rhine II [17:06] nikki: still listening? [17:06] uatever: know why it's called Raid0? cause that's what you'll recover from that configuration. [17:07] Dred_furst: I know. the nvidia official binary caused problems with my wireless adapter is all [17:07] balz: Are you trying to remember the ip to access the router configuratioN? [17:07] My lcd screen max is 1280x1024 i want it to 1600x1200 resolution [17:07] Hm [17:07] or double 1280x1024 [17:07] bravo7_: try 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' to set that up [17:07] hello [17:07] everybody [17:07] hi === NSLU2-IRC is now known as zurn [17:08] ubuntu is a great system [17:08] hi [17:08] :)) [17:08] Linux Systems.

[17:08] ok alphabeta I will try it, [17:08] Dred_furst: installing the more recent envyng version fixed it for me. good luck :) [17:08] soundray, even with a tail grep powernowd [17:08] trying to debug something; did anyone do updates last night and then have wicd quit working? [17:08] kooothor_: frequency still up? [17:08] I just removed the current version of nvidia [17:08] soundray, yep [17:08] soundray nope [17:09] kooothor_: anything conspicuous in dmesg output? [17:09] I am following: http://www.howtoforge.com/subversion-trac-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-server . do I need anything other than apache on my system to do it? like mysql, php, etc? [17:09] bravo7_: you want to setup a virtual resolution to pan around in? [17:09] destry: no i want to ssh into my network [17:09] soundray, nope [17:09] soundray? I didn't get you. [17:09] soundray is there any way make ubuntu look a lot room or like bigger resolution [17:09] soundray how? [17:09] error404notfound, errm, just svn and apache + mod_svn [17:09] soundray: I didn't understand what you said. [17:10] i know all about the pro's and con's of raid0 [17:10] i just need help witht he mount options [17:10] unop: I guess I just need apache other than what's mentioned on the guide :P [17:10] Heya everyone. I'm trying to figure out how to use the ati catalyst drviers to do a xinerama/twinview type thing. I've got it all working by enabling xinerama, but now any time I start any 3d app [including fgl_glxgears], one frame is rendered and then the app locks up [17:10] nikki: I was just wondering if you're still here. When you go through that "perfect setup" page, remember that most things that it recommends for installing are actually in the Ubuntu repositories. [17:10] can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong? [17:10] hi all, i installed a secondery sata drive in my hp dv9000 notebook runing ubuntustudio gutsy. but with the drive in ubuntu wont boot. has anyone seen this problem before [17:10] uatever, hmm, as long as you create a filesystem on the RAID volume .. you mount the device in the same way you would normally [17:10] Sure. [17:11] I DO do a lot of Linux stuff. Just new to the audio part. :) [17:11] nikki: good, just checking :) [17:11] soundray how? [17:11] error404notfound, well i suppose if the guide accomplishes it's goal and you are happy with that [17:11] soundray: I usually Google around, but I just installed the IRC client, and I asked here for kicks. :P [17:11] so alphabeta where can I get the latest deb package of envy [17:12] !envy | Dred_furst [17:12] Dred_furst: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [17:12] soundray, do you think my problem comes from powernowd ? [17:12] bravo7_: I don't think you can do resolution scaling in Ubuntu. Panning is supported by some, but not all video drivers. [17:12] Dred_furst: but it does rule [17:12] soundray: Not spamming, but check out my game at http://www.grall.uni.cc. I made it when I was a Windows guy, so its Windows only. However, the code is cross-platform, so I can Linux-ify it. [17:12] hey there, Im installing xubuntu under a RAID0 and im just not sure about one thing, mount options theres several options and I can't really find documentations on what each does and what would be the best option for running a RAID0? <--- Convo me please if possible [17:12] My VLC displays the video to 2 windows, one vlc and one x11 output. How do I just output to one window? Closing the x11 output closes vlc. ?:/? [17:13] kooothor_: I think your problem may be renitent Apple hardware. Maybe (and that's a big maybe) it will work if you install cpufreqd instead of powernowd [17:13] it's a wmv video [17:13] uatever, are you setting all this up using the live CD? [17:13] no [17:13] soundray, oh, I've just run 'sudo powernowd' and now it's okay, I'm at 800 MHz :) [17:13] alternative [17:13] uatever, just use the default mount options then [17:13] it doesnt display "defaults" [17:13] and thats the problem [17:14] shows noatime [17:14] uatever, just make sure you have a non-RAID volume to house /boot [17:14] norealtme, zync [17:14] nikki: nice, go ahead... but please go to #ubuntu-offtopic for chat -- here's for support only [17:14] uatever, by defaults i mean. do not set any options [17:14] what does 2770 permissions mean? aren't permission three characters? something like 770 (rwxrwx---) ? [17:14] soundray: I see.. Sorry. [17:14] kooothor_: aha... [17:14] error404notfound, u+rwx,g+rws [17:15] Dred_furst: I believe its in the official repositories [17:15] hi all, i installed a secondery sata drive in my hp dv9000 notebook runing ubuntustudio gutsy. but with the drive in ubuntu wont boot. has anyone seen this problem before [17:15] error404notfound, meaning, the file has setgid set [17:15] kooothor_: maybe the startup script isn't configured properly. 'sudo update-rc.d powernowd defaults' to fix and reboot to test. [17:15] Dred_furst: under utilities. EnvyNG isn't the actual drivers, its just an application that gets, packages, and installs the newest drivers for you [17:15] nikki: :) [17:16] soundray, yep, will do that, thx anyway ;) [17:16] bravo7_: what's your goal, ultimately? [17:16] hi, guys....i was having a GDM error:> [17:17] i tired doin this but now my system gets Stuck at BusyBoX... how do i get past this? [17:17] the permission change was suggested in one of the forums [17:17] macvr, bad advice [17:17] guys what do you call those errors, that have come from the old code? [17:17] i KNOW! [17:17] regursion? or something wasnt it? [17:17] now how do i revert? [17:18] hi all, i installed a secondery sata drive in my hp dv9000 notebook runing ubuntustudio gutsy. but with the drive in ubuntu wont boot. has anyone seen this problem before [17:18] alphabeta, so envy installs the propriatary drivers better than the default ubuntu app does? [17:18] macvr: restore from backup is the only real option [17:18] macvr, well, there is no easy way except to restore from a backup set - failing that, a reinstall [17:18] trying to debug something; did anyone do updates last night and then have wicd quit working? [17:18] Dred_furst: well the default ubuntu ones are prepackaged and approved by ubuntu, envy just grabs them straight off the nvidia upstream servers [17:19] i dont have a backup!!!... i'm now using my system from Live CD [17:19] Ah right [17:19] I get it now [17:19] anyone? [17:19] I'll find out if it works in just a minute, just updating everything on apt [17:19] varunn: regressions [17:19] macvr: there is a slim chance that you can fix most things by applying the permissions from the live system to your installed one [17:19] macvr, well, a reinstall is imminent then .. backup what you can from the current install [17:20] cant i reverse the permissions? [17:20] macvr: no [17:20] hi [17:20] hi [17:20] hi all, i installed a secondery sata drive in my hp dv9000 notebook runing ubuntustudio gutsy. but with the drive in ubuntu wont boot. has anyone seen this problem before [17:20] macvr: this is why you should have backups, especially on systems you don't know about :/ [17:20] soundray is there any way make the resolution larger or desktop shrink [17:20] Hey I'd need help turnign these "features" of some sorts of wicked wierd stuff off. My son usually presses a bunch of keys on my laptop, and almost everytime he does this the computer acts up, scrolling zooms the entire screen, pressing letters brings up a view of all avaliable workspaces. [17:21] if i want to pipe a file from line 0 to line x to a file, what would i use? cat file.txt > newfile.txt ? but i cant find a line specifier control in the manpage for cat [17:21] soundray are you there [17:21] ok... for i was trying to setup a live CD using remastersys but it doesnt work in ubuntu 8.04!!! [17:21] MrNaz: you use some other command like head or tail [17:21] MrNaz, use head and tail [17:21] ay^ ta [17:21] macvr: check this carefully, I'm making this up as we speak (unop, please check, too): find / -xdev -print0 | xargs -0 -i chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' [17:22] MrNaz, you need to use something else. like sed. sed -n "0,$Xp" < file > outfile [17:22] haha [17:22] giu@sdb:~$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:22] No protocol specified [17:22] cannot open display: [17:22] Run 'gedit --help' to see a full list of available command line options. [17:22] KiDFlaSh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:22] why it dont work? [17:22] dashavoo thanks [17:22] bravo7_: yes, but I don't have any ideas for you, except what I've pointed out (panning setup) [17:22] i cant open xorg.conf [17:22] Oo [17:22] soundray how? [17:22] KiDFlaSh: no, you can't gedit xorg.conf. try a command line editor [17:23] unop sed is overkill for what i want to do... i want "lines 0-n into file a" and "lines n-EOF into file b" [17:23] head and tail suffice [17:23] find / -xdev -print0 | xargs -0 -i chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' <<<< this is the full command, for wht? [17:23] bravo7_: search the fine web, or ask the channel again (not me) [17:23] i already gedit xorg.conf one time [17:23] MrNaz, sed is the right tool for this job -- head and tail are overkill [17:23] KiDFlaSh: how did it go with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk'? [17:23] not good [17:24] i try to install fxgrl now [17:24] KiDFlaSh: how? [17:24] but i have problems [17:24] i stuck [17:24] soundray, is {} automatically populated by xargs ? [17:24] KiDFlaSh: keep it on one line, please [17:24] http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide [17:24] unop: yes, if you use xargs -i [17:24] KiDFlaSh: gedit is perfectly capable. are you in gnome? [17:24] soundray, ahh ok [17:24] i stuck in point 5 [17:24] because i CANT OPEN XORG.CONF [17:24] normally it works but now not [17:24] soundray panning setup [17:24] awsome i jst tried the live cd and its works like a dream [17:25] find / -xdev -print0 | xargs -0 -i chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' <<<<<<<<, so should i run this in terminal from my live cd? [17:25] unop: but of course it won't work that way, as it will just fill in the entire find output into one [17:25] macvr: no, sorry [17:25] im thinking of moving from debian to ubuntu [17:25] KiDFlaSh: flash if your xserver isn't working you won't be able to open gedit. are you at a terminal or in gnome? [17:25] :-( [17:25] soundray, errm it shouldn't .. as you are delimiting with -0 [17:25] macvr: here's a better one [17:25] yes i am in kde [17:25] hi all, i installed a secondery sata drive in my hp dv9000 notebook runing ubuntustudio gutsy. but with the drive in ubuntu wont boot. has anyone seen this problem before [17:25] with konsole [17:25] soundray, or rather 'limiting' [17:25] unop: yes, but it will only call chmod once, which won't work with the /mnt/linux prefix [17:26] I've got a USB headset, and I wanted to make all audio from my compy go to the headset instead of the regular audio out ... are there any docs on how to do this and/or can somebody walk me through it? [17:26] soundray, well, i'm inclined to saying, xargs will call chmod for every file passed to it [17:26] soundray, i'll test this out now [17:26] now when i try to install something using synaptics it will go to some percent then again start from zero.....in a loop manner ...what i should do [17:26] KiDFlaSh: I'm not sure what step 5 refers to on their, didn't see it. but if you just need to edit a file, using a command line editor would work and probably save you some time.. so you can fix your x setup [17:26] soundray: I'm back again and I stuck at point 7 atm (http://quilombo.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/realtek-rtl8187b-working-in-ubuntu-710-using-ndiswrapper/) [17:27] macvr: find / -xdev -print0 -exec chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' ';' [17:27] Hi! I have a problem. When I use Open With, I get this error "Text was empty (or contained only whitespace)" [17:27] i got it [17:27] with vi [17:27] i will restart now [17:27] and see if it works [17:27] KiDFlaSh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:27] soundray, xargs works fine [17:27] find / -xdev -print0 -exec chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' ';' <<<< so i should do this from the Live CD terminal[pls bear with seemingly silly question] [17:28] wimpie: sorry, I'm busy and logging off soon... please ask the channel [17:28] soundray, you shouldn't need -print0 there .. infact it might affect how -exec works [17:28] macvr [17:28] s, soundray [17:29] xm [17:29] unop? [17:29] I have a problem. When I use Open With, I get this error "Text was empty (or contained only whitespace) [17:29] hello, i'm trying to delete a vista partitions directories from an ubuntu live cd, but when i do rm -fr on certain directories i get Operation not supported. Is there a way to force delete these? [17:29] macvr, i suspect soundray is thinking of something as we speak.. hold on a minute === Finiras33 is now known as Finiras [17:30] ok...... oops, sorry, i tot he left [17:30] ! [17:30] soundray: K see ya mate and thanks for helping [17:30] which package does /usr/bin/factor come from? [17:30] lesshaste, find out. dpkg -S /usr/bin/factor [17:30] lesshaste, coreutils [17:31] wow [17:31] why is it there? :) [17:31] macvr, ahh i didn't see soundray's last post [17:31] macvr, unop: I'm still here [17:32] hey guys .. i been reading and trying to familiarize with the Linux system itself through the terminal .. and kinda ran into a problem .. like when i type the command "su" and i type in my password that i used for every other authentication to download and install packages .. doesn't work when try the su in terminal. i also typed in "whoami" and it displayed the user and not root. [17:32] Trovador_z: not sure, but maybe the livecd doesn't have ntfs write support built in? [17:32] oh thank goodness, ur here [17:32] hey folks, ... [17:32] !sudo | cheeky [17:32] cheeky: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [17:32] soundray, macvr - i should imagine this does. find / -xdev -exec chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' ; [17:32] i want to install mod_proxy into apache. apache was either installed via apt-get or at install time (same thing i guess right?). so my understanding is that the best solution is having the module recompiled into apache. but i don't have the source, and i want to keep the package intact, so im not sure how about going about this. suggestions? [17:32] macvr: okay, if it was my system, and I didn't have much too lose, as everything looks pretty bleak anyway, I'd do this [17:32] cheeky: dont use su, see that webpage for detauls why. [17:32] macvr, as long as you have mounted your install at /mnt/linux [17:32] macvr: ... what unop said :) [17:32] wat web pase? [17:33] macvr: run this from a root shell, ie. after sudo -i [17:33] alphabeta: i can write on some directories , but not on others! aparrently is some wierd permissions thing [17:33] Pici: btw i fixedmy problem and finally on linux!!! [17:33] cheeky: The one ubottu told you above. [17:33] cheeky: Yay! [17:33] ok.... so its fine to do it? or should i backup what i can using the liVE CD firstt? [17:33] Pici: oh i didnt seee... yeah pic after 12 hours .. soo frustrating andi knocked off windows on my machine !!! [17:34] macvr, a good idea, if you can [17:34] what Player do you prefer to play your DVDs ? Xine, VLC, Kaffeine MPlayer ?! Ò.ó [17:34] hi all, i installed a secondery sata drive in my hp dv9000 notebook runing ubuntustudio gutsy. but with the drive in ubuntu wont boot. has anyone seen this problem before [17:34] macvr: back up your home directory at least. Maybe also /etc/ for reference, and /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb to save download time if (when) you have to reinstall. [17:34] Hello [17:35] Hello [17:35] jiMMiE_bO, Mplayer, vlc, xine, kaffeine - in that order, my preference :) [17:35] Trovador_z: that's strange.. I'm not sure what could be the problem. ensure ntfs-3g is installed and check that it is being mounted that way (and not the kernel ntfs driver)? [17:35] what are you doing? [17:35] i was just about to ask for what all to save............ anything else guys? [17:35] to save? [17:35] should i install anti-virus and firewall? [17:36] unop, do you really need all of them to watch your dvds? [17:36] what is the best antivirus?? [17:36] jiMMiE_bO, ohh no, just one does [17:36] icarus-c: if you're smart about what you trust, you shouldn't need an anti-virus (even on a windows box honestly :p). A firewall's always a good idea [17:36] fine ... thx a lot [17:36] firestarter is your friend. [17:37] i need help getting the Nautilus-autorun-prompt to work [17:37] alphabeta: could you name me some good firewall choices? [17:37] alphabeta, errm, did you really mean that or was it tongue-in-cheek ? [17:37] !firewall | icarus-c [17:37] icarus-c: 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). [17:37] macvr: I really have to go now, I'm not just cowardly :) Hope it works, I may be back in 3 or 4 hours. Good luck. [17:37] unop: of course it was :p [17:37] !antivirus | icarus-c [17:37] icarus-c: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus [17:38] well [17:38] alphabeta, now X wont boot [17:38] hello, please anybody can tell me where is the waiting animation located, i'd like to use to a webapp [17:38] hope to catch u again .. soundray, by then i hopr to have saved my files!!! [17:38] alphabeta, a firewall is not really a good defence against malware that expoits browser (and other apps) flaws - an antivirus is always a good idea [17:38] Dred_furst: that's always a problem [17:38] hi guys i am new and i have started using ubuntu ,everthing is ok up to now.i want to learn something how can i change themes icons and etc..is there a software for these? [17:38] its a geforce 8500 [17:38] I dug through the FAQ, posted on the forums, downloaded the perl aspell lib, any know how to work with KildClient to setup aspell perl? [17:39] macvr: unop is of course highly trustworthy, should you run into more trouble. [17:39] bye [17:39] * unop is flattered [17:39] lars i think there is a site called kde-look you can go to and change the themes [17:39] Hi I don't suppose someone could help me i'm trying to run gtk2hack(nethack) on ubuntu but i get this when i try and play http://pastebin.com/d37048749 [17:40] http://www.kde-look.org/ === jiMMiE_bO is now known as jiMMiE_bO`Afk [17:40] unop: I know the role of a firewall and an antivirus :p but really, neither does much to protect against browser exploits. security updates are really your only defense against that [17:40] should I be using the nv driver or the nvidia driver [17:41] Dred_furst: nv is the kernel driver, use that should nvidia break so you can fix it [17:41] hello, is my laptop capable to run Ubuntu smoothly with all the effects and eye candy enabled? Specs: AMD TK-57, 3GB memory, 250 GB HDD, Nvidia Geforce 7000M [17:41] alphabeta, an antivirus app could stop malware from infecting your PC should malware exploit browser flaws [17:41] please, or whatever gif image to show a wating div, anybody can help me to find one [17:41] Russian: yes [17:42] Russian: I would think so.. :) [17:42] alphabeta, but you're right about security updates .. i just don't agree they are "the only real defense" [17:42] Russian: i have a laptop with a gig of ram and no dedicated video and i can run it with a good amount of flair [17:42] * MLoot ponders pimping his lapop [17:42] hello, what is the name of the tool to manage propiretary drivers in kubuntu? [17:42] +t [17:42] is anyone here insterested in a linux system admin job in westford, mass? [17:42] themine and Mloot, thank going to check it out then [17:42] where is westford [17:43] !OT > Akazawa [17:43] Akazawa, please see my private message [17:43] Akazawa: if you pay to move me [17:43] top of massachusetts near new hamshire === waggy is now known as kdnewton [17:43] Akazawa: please take this convo somewhere esle. thanks [17:43] Akazawa: and pay off my student loans =) [17:43] kk [17:43] Akazawa, please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic - i'm sure a few people will be interested [17:44] unop: I'm really not arguing against the merits of an antivirus here.. just saying that against security holes left by applications, an antivirus (in my experience) isn't as helpful as a preventive measure on linux [17:44] themine I forgot to ask should I get x32 or x64 Ubuntu [17:45] can anyone tell me how to find out the device path to my mouse? /dev/what? [17:45] alphabeta, i was actually focusing on your statement about windows -- but we're offtopic now [17:45] unop: oh. I thought we established that was tongue in cheek [17:45] Russian: I checked http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.12/README/appendix-a.html and your graph card appears there. It's a list with nvidia cards with support in ubuntu [17:45] I have ubuntu 8.04 on a dell laptop that has an HDMI port and I am wondering if there is any way to use the HDMI port to output to my tv without having to configure twin view [17:45] Anyone have any recommendations for an external hdd enclosure that will work seamlessly with Ubuntu? (IDE,3.5)? [17:45] caradraug tnx [17:46] alphabeta, errm, you made no explicit acknowledgement to that :) [17:46] caradraug should I install x32 or x64? [17:46] unop: I said of course it was :) [17:46] hi [17:46] hello peeps [17:46] Russian: that depends alot on your needs and your hardware. what have you got and what do you want? :) [17:47] hellooooooooo [17:47] alphabeta I mentioned my specs a couple lines up =) [17:47] amgad: ask your question. [17:47] alphabeta AMD TK-57, 3GB, 250GB, nvidia 7000m [17:47] hi all, i installed a secondery sata drive in my hp dv9000 notebook runing ubuntustudio gutsy. but with the drive in ubuntu wont boot. has anyone seen this problem before [17:48] Russian: I've heard today that x64 is no longer a hassle to configure (unless you thread with java applets). If you have a 64 bits processor you can use it. But the 32bits does the work just fine as well [17:48] got an email problem thatneeds resolving. if anyone can help. id be gratefull [17:48] please, anybody has a animated wating icon to give me [17:48] i have problem in wireless in my laptop [17:48] Russian: well, your hardwares definitely capable of running 64bit. whether you want to or not still depends on what you expect from it [17:48] mrthraz: where does the boot process die? [17:48] ok here goes.... [17:48] What is a 'Virtual_Terminal_Emulator' (VTE) in Ubuntu? "Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ 2.0" It seems to be related to a GNOME terminal. [17:49] alphabeta, I expect to stream movies from internet, watch movies, and program in AS3 and PHP [17:49] amgad: chipset? Distro? What is the problem? === sheyZzz is now known as shey [17:49] carandraug tnx [17:49] lilo tries to boot but the text gets as far as lil_ [17:49] mrthraz: you sure you are using Ubuntu? [17:49] I have a problem. When I use Open With, I get this error "Text was empty (or contained only whitespace) any idea? [17:49] is there any GUI programs for ubuntu 8.04 that will handle setting up twin monitors or TV'S? [17:49] yes [17:49] i am [17:49] hello i had installed the kernel headers of intrepids 2.6.27 but now i want to install those of 2.6.26-5 but i get dependency not satisfiable [17:49] can someone help [17:49] Russian: if you're a developer, I'd definitely consider 64bit if for no other reason than that it's the direction hardware is heading. like carandraug said, 64bit works great these days and is pretty much hassle free [17:50] is there any GUI programs for ubuntu 8.04 that will handle setting up twin monitors or TV'S? [17:50] im using thunderbird in both windows ( goan) adn ubuntu( smile). however i cannot send out emails in ubuntu destpite the fact that all settings r correct..the same settings work perfectlyin windows.had this problom as of beginning september.. [17:50] AliTarihi: What program are you using? [17:50] alphabeta and the drivers are fully supported too? [17:50] UbuntuStudio uses Lilo? [17:50] alphabeta cause vista is screwing up the system [17:50] I've found that there's a mouse in /dev/input/ . But in there I see mouse0 and mouse1. Which one am I using? [17:51] bullgard4: any thing. when I right click and 'Open With..' I get this from any program in the list. [17:51] if you use xfs you have no choose [17:51] hrmmm [17:51] Russian: For the most part I'd say yes. I've never had any more trouble getting a driver running on my 64bit than a 32bit installation [17:51] mrthraz: the secondary hdd has anything on it? [17:51] ie: another OS? [17:51] alphabeta tnx for your help [17:51] Russian: but if you don't care either way, 32bit might potentially save you a headache somewhere. it still is the status quo, and if one was to be better supported it would be 32bit [17:52] used g parted to strip it , i put ntfs as the file sys [17:52] hey i was wondering if i could see all the commands that were inputed ( sudo ) @ /var/log/auth.log; iam not sure how bring that up .. so i typed in cat /var/log/auth.log but it said no file or directory; so then i tried to move into that folder ..by typing cd /var ..and then typed ls ..and i see log ..there and when i tried to cd into that i could.. said no file or directory so how do i view my sudo logs ? [17:52] alphabeta I just want to get much better performance then running Vista optimzed ATM, cause its running horrible [17:52] Hi there, I just restarted my computer and my quad-monitor setup no longer works. I suspect that it's because the proprietary NVidia driver needs to be updated because my kernel was updated, but I have no way to confirm this, or whether the kernel was even recently updated. Anyone able to help?? [17:53] AliTarihi: Your context menus seem to be broken. -- I canot help you. Sorry. [17:53] no other os on it [17:53] mrthraz: I had issues with my secondary at one time, although removing it and putting it as USB, then stripping it solved that issu for me, then I added it back into my laptop, but then again am using Grub. [17:53] carandraug, 'ls -la /dev/input/by-id' should give you some more information to be able to distinguish them appart [17:53] bullgard4: thank you :) [17:54] cheeky, sudo grep sudo /var/log/auth.log #perhaps? [17:54] mrthraz: Although I dont see why that would hang Lilo. Let me do some research on this. Hang tight. [17:54] unop: does it matter where i am in the linux system with terminal it would bring it up [17:54] cheeky, location does not matter as you are using the full filename there [17:55] Russian: just go for 64bit. you can always try 32bit later if it doesn't work out :p the speed is going to be virtually the same [17:55] acarane opo rek [17:56] unop: so it was that i didnt sudo .. thats why it didnt showup [17:56] Jowi: thanks. There was no id, had to go by-path . It seems it's mouse1 [17:56] alphabeta, hehe, I need to concentrate on programming, so I dont really want to hassle around that much, so should I go with 32 then or still 64? [17:56] cheeky, well, it probably was .. /var/log/auth.log is readable only by root [17:57] how can i choose my own server in xirc for gnome? [17:57] I installed NTOP on ubuntu server newest. When I go to ntop and view the graphs it only shows me Throughput, not the 95th or any other of the options it did before... Is anyone savy with ntop and rrd that would know what to change to bring those things back? [17:57] cheeky, let's keep conversations in here [17:57] Russian: i always say 64, when it's possible. [17:57] mrthraz: this page might give you some ideas as to whats wrong ... http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:LILO_fails:_Error_messages_and_their_interpretation [17:57] unop okay [17:57] unop: okay [17:57] hehe k guys tnx [17:57] 64 it is [17:57] i guess i should mention that my bios sees both drives but does not alow me to set one or the other as master , boot options only ask if i want net work, hdd, or or cd to boot and in what order [17:57] Russian: especially if you're programming I'd go 64bit. It's good to get to test both 32 and 64bit builds [17:58] hello all i have a minor problem [17:58] thanks shey :) [17:58] alphabeta tnx again recording to dvd now [17:58] my screen resolution is set very low [17:58] hi, I installed ubuntu on my laptop, but i don't see wlan ethernet card [17:58] unop!!! i cant see my files!!! [17:58] i tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [17:58] unop: so like i typed sudo cat /var/log/auth.log and it showed me on the terminal but when i typed sudo grep /var/log/auth.log ..nothing showed up and i didnt go back to the command prompt just keeps going down the the line [17:58] someone can help me ? [17:58] but it doesn't allow me to choose video settings [17:59] it gives me error about overwriting custom config [17:59] alphabeta x64 should run both x32 and x64 right? [17:59] Russian: yeah, like windows linux can run both [17:59] sweet [17:59] cheeky, your grep command is incomplete, that's why [18:00] alphabeta how much swap should I make for ubuntu [18:00] stevenw: pastebin your xorg.conf [18:00] cheeky, meaning it is waiting for you to input something [18:00] cheeky, sudo grep sudo /var/log/auth.log [18:00] mrthraz: also, see if the hdd's themselves can be set master/slave via jumper [18:00] unop>>>when i check partition editor it says that used is 12GB but i'm not able to see the files , not even when the view hidden files is set [18:00] unop: exactly and inputed rubish in there..how doi backoutofit..close the terminal ? [18:00] 2 times the amount of onboard ram is the recommended swap space [18:00] cheeky, ctrl+c [18:01] k... [18:01] Q: VLC uses /dev/hdc as target for a DVD, which can't be found, I have to point it at /media/ACTUAL_DVD_NAME how can I fix that? [18:01] argh [18:01] alphabeta, even the LATEST drivers cause it to bleh out on me [18:01] macvr, you probably don't have permissions on the directory? [18:01] 2 times damn [18:01] Russian: well there are plenty of general rules of thumb but with a 250gb hard drive I'd just throw it 2gigs [18:01] 6 gb o_o [18:02] Russian: or 6. why not :) you've got the space [18:02] alphabeta busyfingers suggested 6gb [18:02] yeah dontned muchmre than that for swap [18:02] alphabeta k sweet [18:02] busyfingers 6 gb it is [18:02] Russian: honestly with 3gb ram you're unlikely to need alot of swap [18:02] unop: yeah it worked..showed me the same thing when i used cat i guess..but when i used cat i didnt type sudo twice ..why is that .. and does grep show the log file in the windows .. coz for me it did [18:02] alphabeta hehe so how much then [18:02] oh... ok i see them... opened via gksudo nautilus! [18:03] is that double ur onboard ram or are you allwing for some slack as well? [18:03] I got 3GB of ram [18:03] unop>>>how do i reset the permissions? [18:03] cheeky, you mean you tried sudo sudo cat auth.log ? [18:03] Russian: didn't you said you have 3Gigas of RAM? You'll need at least that amount to hibernate [18:03] souds about right then assuming the norma rule of thumb abut swap. [18:04] "normal" [18:04] Dred_furst: :/ sorry to hear that. [18:04] So 3GB at least for hibernation, means 6GB is the perfect amount then> [18:04] unop: no i typed in sudo cat /var/log/auth.log and itshowed up! let me try again [18:04] spot on. [18:04] Russian: somehow with more ram than 2GB can reduce the ratio [18:05] Russian: 1.5x RAM should be fine imo [18:05] Russian: the rule of 1.5x RAM to swap only applied when you don't have a lot of RAM in my opinion. If I was you, I would go with 3,5 Gigas of swap [18:05] alphabeta, looks like its back to the PCI gigabit ethernet [18:05] macvr, well, you might not have permissions to view the files if you aren't the owner -- but you wouldn't want to change the ownership as the live CD (which i assume you are on) user might not have the same ID as the user on the install [18:05] lol you getting me confused guys [18:05] which is a bit of a shame really [18:05] Russian: as long as you don't user hibernate or something [18:05] because it means I cant get 5.1 [18:05] unop: yeah it displayed the log ..file...so wats with the 2 sudo in grep ? to view that file? [18:05] macvr, if the command we gave you earlier completed successfully .. try rebooting [18:05] Russian: just x1.5 will do [18:05] Dred_furst: run out of pci slots? === occy is now known as Trae [18:05] hi all, is there a special channel for intrepid issues? [18:05] icarus-c even if I use sleep ? [18:05] cbovy: yeah it's in the topic :) [18:05] alphabeta, yeah, its a mATX motherboard [18:05] !intrepid | cbovy [18:06] cbovy: #ubuntu+1 [18:06] cbovy: Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October! [18:06] Russian: um.. i have no experience about sleep [18:06] someone suggested 3GB atleast cause of hibernation [18:06] thanks guys [18:06] who is Russian [18:06] me [18:06] lol [18:06] aaa [18:06] one for the TV tuner, PCIE for the GPU and one spare [18:06] which I put an audigy 2 in [18:06] cheeky, the format of grep is generally .. grep KEYWORD FILE ... and the keyword we want is sudo (we are looking for lines containing the word sudo) .. but we don't have read permissions over that file, so we need to be root to use the command, hence the reason we prefixed the grep command with sudo [18:06] hey all, I disabled compiz/emerald and now when I log into gnome x locks up and I must ctrl+alt+backspace and load into KDE/blackbox/fluxbox, can anyone help me? [18:07] I too [18:07] Russian: I did. I suggested. In hibernation, everything in RAM goes to swap (or so I've been told). You need at least the same amount [18:07] Russian: afaik sleep keeps the memory in ram, hibernate copies it to hard drive and shuts down [18:08] unop: i get that part .. so you prefixed with sudo grep .. then sudo again / [18:08] i've heard that suspending would never wake up again successfully.. [18:08] carandaug, alphabeta which is better to use then [18:08] Russian: if you don't plan on using hibernation, you can even have less swap than ram (like me) [18:08] Russian: with hibernation you don't need power (nice for laptops). In sleep you do need power [18:09] unop: coz there were sudo before grep and after the wrod grep was another sudo and then the file path . [18:09] cheeky, no. we looked for lines containing sudo in /var/log/auth.log .. the second sudo is just another word, not an active part of the command [18:09] alphabeta, just trying disabling a few wake on settings in the BIOS [18:09] carandraug, but I guess sleep is much faster then hibernate? [18:09] find / -xdev -exec chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' ; <<<< this is the one right? also to another point, i'm dual booting with XP and the UbUNTU is on sda5..... so its go to run this command ? [18:09] so grep is like a search function ? [18:09] yes [18:09] cheeky, have a look at this. grep cheeky /your/file .. what do you think it does? [18:10] Russian: so as to conclude: if you need hibernate -> more than 3GB ; else -> whatever [18:10] cheeky, $ whatis grep [18:10] grep (1) - print lines matching a pattern [18:10] Dred_furst: couldn't hurt. might be easier just to try a different adapter [18:10] hello [18:10] y a moyen de faire chmod récursif sur un dossier et son contenue? [18:10] Russian: yes. But if it's a laptop, you run out of power, everything in the RAM gets lost. Sleep if to use for a few hours, maybe less. Hibernate can be several days. They're different things for different moments. You either sleep or hibernate depending on the situation [18:10] bonjours d'abord :s [18:10] !fr | th-nvstgr [18:10] th-nvstgr: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [18:11] i installed my system with the min mode, then installed the xorg by myself [18:11] MrKennie: thanks again. a purge of apache fixed it, still not sure what the problem was [18:11] macvr, as long as you mounted the linux install to /mnt/linux - that will affect only the linux install .. the windows part should remain untouched [18:11] Anyone knoe anything about ntop...? [18:11] carandraug, so I guess a safe amount would be 3-6gb then? [18:11] unop: cool .. is there like another excercise you can tell me to find so i can use and get familiar with grep ? [18:11] matkix: did you mean ntop or ntp? === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx [18:11] so before running that command, i should do [18:11] but when i start X, it takes long time to show the desktop, where does the problem is? [18:11] Russian: i suggest 4.5 [18:11] alphabeta, interesting, looking further up dmesg it says irq21 nobody cared [18:12] Russian: really, you've got a 250gb hard drive. unless you always find yourself with exactly 248 gigs of content, 3.5 4 5 or 25gb won't hurt anything :-) [18:12] (try booting with the irqpoll option [18:12] cheeky, heh. ok, if you like. find all files in your home folder that contain the word firefox :) [18:12] disabling irq 21 [18:12] Russian: yes. I wouldn't use more than 4Gb though. [18:12] which is the rhine network card [18:12] k guys tnx a lot, just going to create 4,5 GB of swap [18:12] macvr, that looks fine .. assuming /dev/sda5 is your linux partition (for /) [18:13] s [18:13] i've got 1GB of ram and i just use 512 MB of swap :p [18:13] i do not used swap [18:13] carandraug: isnt hibernate a bit bugged atm? and is just 3gb of swap good enough ? [18:13] it works well [18:13] russian, i have 1gb swap and none of it gets used... [18:13] Russian, having 2gbs of ram helps though [18:13] I've got 2gb ram and 2gb swap, barely ever use it [18:13] Russian: also, since you have so much RAM (I only have 3 Gigas), one cool thing you can do is a RAM disk. You allocate a small space of your ram (like 50Mb) and you put your files there when working for extra fast access [18:13] douye: basically you won't need swap much unless you run out of memory.. [18:13] icarus-c: NTOP [18:13] matkix: don't know then [18:14] unop: gimme a min [18:14] haha.. [18:14] anyone... buler? [18:14] carandraug, thats extra I guess [18:14] unop>>>keeping fingers crosssed, will get back after the reboot.... u'll be here in a few mins , so i could get back? [18:14] icarus-c: well with my busted battery in the laptop (it goes empty in like.. 10mins while it lasted 2hours+ before) i prefer to use hibernate.. but it didnt really work last time i tried it :P [18:14] can the swap's size effect the hibernating [18:14] shey. there does appear to be a jumper on the drive, on to of the first four prongs, though no markings on what would be the slave position. i'll just fool around with it and see if i get it right. man i feel stupid. thanks for pointing me in the right direction [18:14] macvr, i have to go in a minute, i'll be back in an hour or so - after dinner [18:15] my pc can not go to hibernate [18:15] douye: yes. In some computers is a bit bugged. For some people work, for others it doesn't [18:15] carandraug I also have 3 GB [18:15] douye: yea i have experienced that before... hibernate and never wake up [18:15] ok unop, will report back ... [18:16] carandraug, icarus-c: is there like.. any list that says with what system its a bit bugged and with what systems it aint, or is it just purely a fault in the installation? [18:16] carandraug lets say I wont use hibernate at all, only sleep sometimes, how much swap? [18:16] unop: sudo grep firefox /home......is that is .. coz if that is..i didnt see anything lol [18:16] just went to the next command [18:16] douye: don't know, but it seems fedora got the same problem too [18:16] Russian: sleep won't need swap [18:17] can't hibernate the computer, why? [18:17] Russian: I wouldn't use more than 4 Gigas because the point of swap, from what I've read, is to makeit up for small ammounts of RAM. 3 Gigas is a lot of RAM so you won't need a lot of swap (unless you plan on using hibernate) [18:17] petrele: can hibernate, just never wake up [18:17] ok alphabeta fixed, had to append irqpoll to boot [18:17] douye: I don't know [18:17] carandraug seems like I dont need swap at all for sleep and I am not going to use hibernate, whats the definite swap amount ? [18:17] icrus-c: but i can never go to hibernating [18:18] Dred_furst: wow. wish I could say I helped with that :p good work [18:18] wats a good ..like note taking prgram for ubuntu as i wish to make notes when iam learning linux .. [18:18] petrele: because you don't have enough swap? [18:18] icarus-c: it always came out with an error msg [18:18] petrele: what is it [18:18] Dred_furst: alls well now? [18:18] Russian: it's a matter of taste. I would choose 2Gigas in your case [18:18] unop: hey was that command i typed right ? [18:18] carendraug, oke thanks =)\ [18:18] and everyone else offcourse tnx also [18:19] carandraug: i would choose 512MB at most.. [18:19] alphabeta, yep [18:19] icarus-c: i didn't remember it now. it just tell me it can't [18:19] 0.0% of my swap is now in use.. [18:19] icarus-c: i konw now [18:19] how do i go about remove all instances of a driver installed with ndiswrapper? just ndiswrapper -r didn't work [18:19] petrele: :-o [18:19] icarus-c: like I said, it's really a matter of taste. Like splitting the filesystem through dozens of partitions [18:19] Dred_furst: good good [18:19] carandraug: which what i do too :P [18:20] icarus-c: hmm got 370mb swap in use atm, while i got 2gb ram [18:20] icarus-c:hibernating in ubuntu not just like the windows [18:20] douye how long have your system been up [18:20] icarus-c: in ubuntu it uses the swap but not a hibernating file, is it? [18:20] petrele: i don't know the technical detail tough.. [18:20] icarus-c: 2hours 31mins, and its a laptop :P [18:21] icarus-c: and let me guess. You use different filesystems for each partition. ext2 in boot, reiserfs in /var, /ext3 at /home ... [18:21] douye what kind of job you do :-o [18:21] icarus-c: none, im still a student ;) [18:21] i'm sudent too [18:21] icarus-c: need a good lappy tho, as i'm doing a ict education :) === poinx_ is now known as PoinX [18:21] douye: i've never used more swap than 32 MB (except for that one i try to used up all ram:p) [18:22] hello, where i can find "remote desctop server" log file? [18:22] I rebooted my computer today after it crashed while installing the Brasero update, and all of a sudden my fonts are HUGE. I have them set to 8pt, but they're more like 14 or so. [18:22] carandraug, one more question, is it safe to run vista next to buuntu? [18:22] ubuntu* [18:22] Plus, compiz seems to be taking over my window decorations. [18:22] icarus-c: lol :p i dunno whats using the swap tho :/ is there like.. a command to show it ? [18:22] douye: what is ict edu? [18:22] russian: do you mean dual boot ? [18:22] #ubuntu.de [18:22] douye: gnome-system-monitor [18:22] douye yes [18:22] Russian: as long you don't try to install Vista after installing Ubuntu it's ok [18:23] russian: yeah its safe to dual boot vista and ubuntu, atleast im doing that (mostly for games..) and i havent got any problems with it [18:23] Russian: if you install a vista after the ubuntu, i can fixed the boot sector by a tool [18:23] icarus-c: ict edu.. you know a study in some part of the informatica [18:24] douye: i just know CIT : computer and information tech. [18:24] I have vista installed, going to install ubuntu [18:24] Russian: that's a good practise [18:24] Russian: also, be careful when moving around your vista partition in ubuntu. You won't be warned if you try to remove vista files that are important [18:24] hehe [18:24] carandraug k I watch out [18:24] . [18:24] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TiQCJXpbKg <-- haha [18:24] Russian: сделай 2а партишена :) и неипи мозк :) [18:24] icarus-c: hmm well, we in the netherlands call it ict mostly :P and its short for informatica.. so far i know (or something xD) [18:25] how do I find out the path to my USB hard drive? [18:25] douye: well i come from Hong Kong [18:25] Russian: you should not install the grub on the MBS [18:25] * icarus-c is about to sleep [18:25] petrele, why not [18:25] icarus-c: ah :) guess that explains why.. every country uses different terms [18:25] mixed1234: is it mounted? Take a look at "df -h". If not, sudo fdisk -l will do the trick [18:25] ok i really gotta sleep, 01:25 here [18:26] icarus-c gdnight [18:26] bye guys [18:26] have fun with your swap Russian ^^ [18:26] icarus-c: gn :) [18:26] bye douye [18:26] icarus-c hehe tnx should be just fine =) [18:26] hello room, has anyone tried to install Elisa from intrepid repo? [18:26] petrele, why not isntall GRUB on the MBS> [18:27] Russian:the grub can not boot the vista as i know [18:27] "/dev/sdc1 * 1 1649 13245561 7 HPFS/NTFS" [18:27] holla! [18:27] petrele: it can.. atleast when i boot my lappy it says "loading grub menu" then it comes and i can just boot vista :P [18:27] yeah you can boot vista with grub [18:27] mixed1234: that's the path to the device. /dev/sdc1 You can see where it's mounted with "df -h" [18:27] lol [18:27] carandraug, ok i guess im half way there, how do i safely unmount "/dev/sdc1" so I can mount force it? [18:28] just install grub on the dev0 then? [18:28] mixed1234: with the GUI or through the command line? [18:28] im using command line [18:29] the gui wont let me mount it, i have to force mount it first [18:29] Russian : i didn't make it [18:29] mixed1234: oh, ok. WHere do you want to mount it? [18:29] carandraug, pls let me get a sec, im going to jot down a few things before we attempt to do that [18:30] mixed1234: ok [18:30] Russian:now i have xp and ubuntu in my computer, and i almost use ubunt only, except the are .docx files [18:30] First time this popped up in my xterms (all of them): localhost kernel: [191405.960000] journal commit I/O error.... and the USB external disk unmounted itself. What can it mean? [18:31] every thing is ok in my lan but I get this error error sendmsg: operation not permitted when ping for example 192.168.0.2 or other machine [18:31] petrele aah k =) [18:31] any solution ? [18:31] well tnx all for the help lets do the real work [18:31] Fresh hardy install freezes unless booted with acpi=off, help plz :) [18:31] Russian:ubuntu is great [18:31] petrele: you can convert them in zamzar. ALso, OOo 3.0 comes with support to open docx files [18:31] I understand I/O error but is it cause for concern and where can I find out exactly what happened? [18:32] carandraug: i tried, but it doesn't work well [18:32] carandraug: and others are mostly like to used xp [18:32] petrele: in those I just send the file back and request for a decent file format [18:33] carandraug, i want to mount "/dev/sdc1" to a folder in "/media" , should I create the folder in "/media" first? [18:33] I know.. it's not a question about ubuntu but should be easy to answer: Is there any way of changing the text colours in Xchat? [18:33] carandraug:but i'm dealing with some teachers [18:33] mixed1234: that folder should already exists. [18:33] carandraug: i can't do that [18:33] carandraug, that folder already exists, yes I want to mount it on a folder inside "/media", for example "/media/disk" [18:34] should I create folder "/media/disk" first? [18:34] halihó [18:34] petrele: then my teachers give us the files in pdf format. Well, then you don't say it that way. You explain that docx is a new format, not compatible with other office suits and you're unable to open them. And it would be nice of them to convert them to pdf or at least save them as doc files [18:35] mixed1234: then yes, you need to create the folder first "sudo mkdir /media/disk" mkdir=make directory [18:35] Needing some help with this: fresh hardy install freezes unless booted with acpi=off [18:35] douye: are you using x-chat or x-chat gnome? [18:36] carandraug, i tried it, i used "-t ntfs-3g -o force" flags and it mounted, thanks for the help!!!! [18:36] carandraug: XChat 2.8.4, so think just XChat [18:36] carandraug: i run gnome tho.. dunno what you're aiming for :P [18:36] hello I need some help [18:36] anyone know what avahi's purpose is since it's preventing my machines from joining an AD domain? [18:37] carandraug:it's different. around me there are a lot of people using xp and little of them use linux. i always type the file in ubuntu, then go to xp and make them to a .doc or .docx file and send to them [18:37] mixed1234: no problem [18:37] anyone know of a utility to test hard drives for failure?? [18:37] /msg ubottu etiquette [18:38] hey ..i was trying to look for all the files in the home directory so i typed.. "sudo grep firefox /home " is that right command for it ? [18:38] Is there any way to make Listen play random track? [18:38] douye: there's a x-chat gnome version but lacks a lot of options in the Gui. Go to (x-chat menu) Settings > Preferences > color and change it [18:39] is there anyone using newsmy mp3 player === zacharyburns is now known as KD8JGR [18:39] hey there everybody [18:39] hey I need some hello [18:39] *help [18:39] vlad: what? [18:39] wat i meant was all the files in the home directory pattern firefix... [18:39] does anyone know how to create an image of their current ubuntu config???

Is a swap partition of 1.80 GB enough, if I want to run a lot of software on it? === SplinTer is now known as SplinTer0616_ [19:28] arnell:sbackup it's in synamptic [19:28] arnell, several. have a look here: [19:28] !backup | arnell [19:28] arnell: There are many ways to back your system up.

[19:29] maybe if i put ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR and ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem somewhere ?? maybe it will work... [19:29] Hi, is there a way to remove folder's cache? I mean something like "file.txt~" [19:30] H0T_R0D: you could but using udev rules is the preferred way [19:30] arnell, what I have done myself though is simply to set up cron as root to rsync what I want to an external disk. It runs each night when I am sound asleep. It's simple and works fine (for me). [19:30] let me go try something....lol [19:31] how do I build initrd (to use my own kernel) *without* creating and installing deb packages? I just want the initrd file. [19:31] Jowi: Thanks, I'll look into it. [19:31] H0T_R0D: btw, I think you should change SYMLINK= to SYMLINK+= [19:31] hey folks, does anyone else find firefox buggy on hardy? [19:32] joshuajtl: you'll have to define "buggy" much more precisely [19:32] H0T_R0D: and KERNEL= to KERNEL== [19:32] Ping, any answer, guys? :) [19:32] joshuajtl- I find firefox buggy on any OS [19:32] Rajec: bfanti: I've noticed as well [19:32] hey, how do you find out what flavor of ubuntu youre running??? :-) [19:32] Firefox is moving quite slow. [19:33] I disabled compiz and now gnome locks up, something happened with the driver. http://pastie.org/269063 anyone have any ideas? [19:33] well let me give that a whirl! [19:33] mixed12345, lsb_release -a [19:33] Mc_abyss, it all depends on what feature youre talking about for firefox, if you disable the addons youll be just fine [19:33] BenB: I find firefox freezes often [19:34] anybody know if there's a 64-bit java browser plugin for firex? [19:34] i would say, it freezes _very_ often [19:34] guys my wireless card is not working in ubuntu x64 which I just installed, the hardware is from Atheros [19:34] is there any good alternative to firefox on gnome? [19:34] joshuajtl: when you do what? it freezes more often than which other firefox? [19:34] opera? perhaps? [19:34] bfanti, krauss: I fell that in ubuntu is FASTER thatn in windows but maybe because my windows installation is several months old and ubuntu is new [19:34] joshuajtl: Why would you need something besides firefox? Memory/speed? [19:34] mixed12345 - well theres always that but then ive always preferred Opera doesnt freeze as often [19:34] BenB: more often then on kubuntu [19:34] Jowi, ok so I have hardy b ut how doI find out if I have edubuntu, xubuntu, or just plain ubuntu? [19:34] correct me if iam wrong .. in terminal when i do a "ls" i see my examples.. my documents and wat not..now if i type "cd /Examples"... says no files or directory ..so ..when i type.. " cd Examples"..i go there.. ..so how come when i do "cd /" i go to root and see my system files..and i have to "cd /folder (etc)" ..to navigate there..like using the / istead of just typing the filename w/o the / [19:34] joshuajtl: you can install the original firefox from mozilla.com [19:34] MLoot: firefox is unstable for me [19:34] hi, may laptop freezes sometimes after the screensaver is enabled it doesnt come back, it is freezed now but I'm connected via ssh, how can I find out the reason of the problem_ [19:34] ? [19:35] ciao [19:35] !list [19:35] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [19:35] joshuajtl: hm... which version of kubuntu and ubuntu (and firefox) are you using? [19:35] Rajec: Well besides the speed, i've experienced unexpected shutdowns of Firefox as well, so maybe my judgement is clouded [19:35] Is there a way to remove folder's cache? I mean something like "file.txt~" [19:35] joshuajtl: What versions ? [19:35] How would I go about reinstalling all the applications that come with Ubuntu out of the box, without completely wiping my hard drive? [19:35] BenB: hardy on both (recently came back to ubuntu) [19:35] MLoot: latest [19:36] anyone can help me install wireless driver for the laptop? [19:36] sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop only reinstalls the one virtual package. [19:36] joshuajtl: that's indeed strange. can you file a bug report? [19:36] yes next time it happens [19:37] joshuajtl: it would help a lot to describe the circumstances which lead to the freezes (e.g. a particular action you do often right before that) [19:37] joshuajtl: you've reinstalled? Does it often crash? Do you have a lot of plugins? [19:37] ?wireles [19:37] !WIRELESS [19:37] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:37] mixed12345, I haven't run any of those versions so I don't know. [19:37] c0mp13371331337: why do you want to do that? if you don't mind me asking [19:37] does sourceforge have a repository? [19:37] joshuajtl: also, include anything that may differ between the two installation and which may be relevant [19:37] jowi, thanks for the input [19:37] can anyone answer my question? [19:37] cheeky: repeat the quetion for me... :) [19:38] !adobe flash [19:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about adobe flash [19:38] Can someone answer mine too :P [19:38] MLoot: could i PM you its kinda long lol [19:38] joshuajtl: if you have extensions or plugins installed, first step (before you file a bug) would be to disable them both. if that fixes it, enable them one at a time to find out which causes it. [19:38] MLoot: if that cool [19:38] cheeky: go4it [19:38] alphabeta: Just getting some weirdness. Compiz all of a sudden decided to take over my window decorator. I had a nice metacity window decoration that worked great with compiz, but now compiz overtakes the decorations. Plus my fonts are HUGE and not the correct font value, despite what my display properties say. Couple of other weird things too. [19:39] BenB: good idea, I'll disable the One Sidebar thing [19:39] joshuajtl: extensions and plugins are usually the reason why firefox misbehaves. that includes adobe flash. [19:39] oh its not installed [19:40] joshuajtl: URL about:plugins , and menu Tools Addons [19:40] how do I build initrd (to use my own kernel) *without* creating and installing deb packages? I just want the initrd file. [19:40] how do i mount a broken ubuntu install with a live cd of xubuntu [19:40] ? [19:40] gonna try epiphany, and opera [19:41] its on a internal hardrive [19:41] hi, after a time of inactiviry, the screensaver turns on... then when I move the mouse my laptop freezes and never come back. It is freezed now, but I'm connected from my desktop via ssh, can you help me to find out the reason problem? [19:41] c0mp13371331337: compiz _always_ takes over your window decorations, as it is your window manager. However, it should be using the 'gtk-window-decorator' by default, which uses metacity's theme. It sounds like it has switched to the 'emerald' decorator [19:41] cheeky, the single forward slash always mean the root of the disk. However, the forward slash also separates directories. So "cd /" takes you to the root of the disk and "cd /etc" takes you to the first folder named "etc" directly under the root directory. if you begin a cd with / it will always do that. [19:41] Does anybody know why with ati drivers 3d things kinda blinks [19:41] joshuajtl: there's Midori too :) pretty basic but it uses webkit [19:42] Restricted drivers for atheros doesnt work, can anyone help me please? [19:42] alphabeta: I already uninstalled Emerald because I was under that impression as well. Rebooted about 10 times since, but no change. [19:43] alphabeta I can't get wireless working [19:43] irc.osx86.hu [19:43] alphabeta: Plus Emerald isn't even running. However, gtk-window-decorator is. [19:43] psp_: yes. Tried to disable compiz?

I mean something like "file.txt~" [19:44] does there will be difference if i install drivers through restricted manager or envyng [19:44] alphabeta atheros [19:44] alphabeta: And when I kill compiz with metacity --replace, I get my lcars decorations back, but the fonts are still HUGE.

(don't paste it in the channel) [19:45] does there will be difference if i install my ati drivers through restricted manager or envyng [19:45] psp_: once you're done with the 3D stuff, and you want compiz back, run "compiz --replace" [19:45] cd / [19:45] ops [19:45] alphabeta what is dmesg?

[19:47] psp_: also, when getting compiz back, if you do it in a terminal, you can't close the terminal window. Use Alt+F2 to get a "run application" window and enter the command there [19:47] Rajec: Ubuntu [19:47] alphabeta, so I should reboot to ubuntu, and type dmesg in console then copy paste it here? [19:47] crdlb: http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_2.png [19:47] even using make-kpkg fails, with "arch/xen/ does not exist" - well, that's correct (I use the latest Linus kernel).

[19:49] c0mp13371331337: check your process list for 'gnome-settings-daemon' and 'gconfd-2', are either of those missing? [19:51] guys, it can't be so f*cking hard to compile and use the latest Linus kernel. nobody can tell me how to create the initrd? [19:51] crdlb: Nope, both appear in the system monitor.

[20:11] c0mp13371331337: I don't know why, but your gconfd is definitely malfunctioning, try renaming ~/.gconfd to ~/.gconfd.save, and if that doesn't work, you could try it with ~/.gconf too (where your actual configuration is stored) [20:11] nicolasaumond: what's your question? [20:11] is there a how to on making taskbar icon shortcuts for ubuntu? [20:12] chage resolution and refresh rate?? [20:12] crdlb: should I log out after that? Or reboot?

[20:14] I checked forums, but no solution. [20:15] crdlb: Well, renaming .gconfd/ didn't do it, I'll try .gconf [20:15] ive just get my wifi up on my labtop so im just so happy [20:15] StevenX, each icon theme has it's own links for program icons. for example /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/apps has named icons that you can change. but you need to do that in each size directory which is not very hard to do but takes time and is annoying. [20:15] Jowi: I found the firefox in /usr/share/applications, I right-clicked and then properties, but I'm not sure how to change the icon it uses. [20:15] gq_gunhed; any idea? [20:15] paraaano: sorry - no clue, maybe someone else here can help [20:16] :( [20:16] StevenX, it's a text file. you need to edit it, look for the icon name and change it and save it. [20:16] crdlb: Well, my desktop background is back to Hardy default. Fonts are still the same though. As is the Window Decoration. Let me see if I can change the fonts at all. [20:16] paraaano: maybe a firewall issue? Or what do you think? [20:16] Jowi: thanks, will look into it. [20:17] how do I go about learning to find the proper command to use for an icon launcher? [20:17] gq_gunhed. I haven't got any idea. just hours ago everything was fine. [20:17] suddenly it crashed. [20:18] seeing as virtualbox doesn't work unlike firefox for firefox [20:18] paraaano: hmm, strange. standard question: "what did you do before you did nothing?" ;-) [20:18] paraaano: crashed, what kind of? [20:18] c0mp13371331337: you can try making a new account, that would at least tell you whether it's a system or user configuration issue [20:18] hi all, how do i look at a users account options from the CLI? (like home directory and current groups) [20:18] crdlb: Nope, application fonts still the same. [20:18] well, nothing. (really nothing.) I was out.. [20:19] xorg expert? [20:19] when I was back, then no connection to live network [20:19] crdlb: Well, I had another account for guests that never gets logged into. I checked there and it was the same large font issue. [20:19] crdlb: Also opened an application as root and saw the same thing. [20:19] paraaano: hmm :-( any error messages in any of your logs? [20:20] sorry that I'm really newbie at linux. [20:20] what version of postgresql is ubuntu 6.06 using? is it postgresql 7.3? [20:20] how can I check logs? [20:20] grrr... someones gotta do something about the dependancy issue for KDE...

[20:20] lately too many packages want gnome dependancies that are unnecessary for a kubuntu user [20:20] paraaano: "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages" or "sudo tail -f /var/log/daemon.log" [20:21] let me check gq_gunhed [20:21] ie apturl wants something like gtk-khtml... I would have thought having Konqueror more than fulfills that req [20:21] Jowi: Let's say I have a file called browser_icon.png on my desktop, and that I've opened up the desktop configuration file for firefox in /usr/share/applications, what now? [20:21] paraaano: where: tail -f shows your log files as it is written (ongoing), and /var/log/[fielname] is where your logs are [20:22] what is the terminal command to launch virtualbox? [20:22] I'll start there.. [20:22] What is the easiest, most sufficient way, to get rid of icons on the menu in Gnome that aren't suppose to be there?

[20:22] i was asked to do this>>>>find / -xdev -exec chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' ;<<<< but i get this error>>> find: missing argument to `-exec' [20:22] StevenX, type in the full path to the icon you wish to use. Example: Icon=/home/StevenX/Desktop/browser_icon.png [20:22] and AWN (avant window navigator) is depdnant on lots of gnome packages too yet Avant itself is supposedly Desktop-Agnostic! (it plays nice with KDE afaik...) [20:23] Jowi: Thanks! Awesome. [20:23] hi unop [20:23] hey macvr - how's it going? [20:23] hi i am want use game AssaultCube i download game and use command assaultcube,sh but system said - command not found [20:23] i was tried to do this>>>>find / -xdev -exec chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' ;<<<< but i get this error>>> find: missing argument to `-exec' [20:23] so whats the problem, that developers just don't know there's KDE out there? [20:24] macvr, try escaping the last ; .. make it \; [20:24] How can I guarantee that ALL files in /tmp are deleted when Ubuntu shuts down? Or is this done automatically? [20:24] crdlb: And yes, same problem with a brand-spanky-new account. [20:24] jaunty jackalope? canonical knows that a jackalope is an imaginary animal, right? [20:24] installing a linux driver can someone give me the 101 for the process plz [20:25] i didnt understand tht??could u pls give full command? so that i dont mess up? [20:25] crdlb: Sooooo, system-wide, more than likely. [20:25] xbxb, i believe they are cleared on boot [20:25] macvr, find / -xdev -exec chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' \; [20:25] ok, thanx [20:26] StevenX, after the file is saved you might need to log off and log on again to see the change (firefox icon should now have changed in the gnome menues). if it isn't showing any icon you have a typo in the .desktop file. [20:26] unop: I'm asking because I'm now using a separate partition for /tmp (fstab already changed, will take effect on reboot), but I want to delete all files in the "old" /tmp directory before that. [20:26] hi, wht is the best program for virtualization? vm make my pc slow [20:26] oh icons were in in /pixmaps -_- ... [20:27] Jowi: got it. Thanks. Can I create these .desktop files if I don't see one for a program I want? [20:27] xbxb, you'll need to delete them .. preferably after reboot - or in single-user mode (runlevel 1) [20:27] unop: how do I get into runlevel 1 after reboot? [20:27] ? [20:27] when i installed ubuntu [20:28] the laptop has a weird chipset [20:28] xbxb, choose recovery mode from the grub screen ... or you can type this now. sudo telinit 1 (after closing your programs down) [20:28] and won't allow me to pick larger resolutions [20:28] i'm using xubuntu hardy heron [20:28] unop: many thanks [20:28] anyone? best program for virtaulization plz [20:28] 've tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [20:28] xbxb, to return to runlevel 2 after that. sudo telinit 2 [20:28] it doesn't allow me to choose monitor size and all [20:28] what is the terminal command to open virtualbox? [20:28] unop: OK [20:28] or video drivers [20:28] hi @ all [20:29] ive installed the driver for the video card [20:29] from germany [20:29] ;) [20:29] xbxb, though, you'll need to mount /tmp first. sudo mount -a [20:29] unop> it keeps giving errors>eg:>>>>>>chmod: cannot access `/mnt/linux//usr/share/gtk-doc/html/evolution-exchange/ximian-connnector-booking.html': No such file or directory<<<<<< this is going on! is this correct? [20:29] any swedish colemak users here? [20:29] (i know thats one hell of a minority :-P) [20:29] but the dsplaconfig-gtk only lets me choose up to 800x600 [20:29] StevenX, yes. you can. The only entries that are important is Exec=, Icon=, Name, GenericName and Type= and Categories= can be nice to have but are not needed. [20:29] unop: but then I can't access the current /tmp directory anymore, whose content I want to delete?! [20:30] StevenX, the three first i meant. the rest are optional. [20:30] Jowi: Thank you very much. I have changed a couple of icons. i will Log off and log back in to see what has occured. Thanks1 [20:31] Hi! Can I manually enter the modes my Laptop LCD should run at? (in this case 1280x800@60hz) [20:31] macvr, it appears to be correct, you have to remember that this command is looking at the permissions of the live CD's files and then trying to adjust the relevant files on the install .. and off course, the install isn't going to have all the same files [20:31] crdlb: Still there? [20:31] xbxb, you should carry out the procedure like this .. step into runlevel 1, clear /tmp, mount /tmp and then return to runlevel 2 [20:32] linduxed, wow a keyboard layout variant that i didnt know about :) [20:32] unop>> so...once it is done , reboot? [20:32] Jowi: hahaha [20:32] macvr, yep, and cross your fingers . [20:32] c0mp13371331337: yeah, but I can't think of a way to fix that. Make sure you're up to date and that apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't complain about anything [20:32] any ideas anyone? [20:33] unop: Oh, got you now. One last question: do I have to set the permissions of the /tmp folder *before* mounting the new /tmp? [20:33] I need help integrating CUPS printer sharing with SAMBA so that I can share printers with windoze computers. Has anybody ever done this before? I already have CUPS set up with one published printer [20:33] #defocus [20:33] unop.... seems done, will reboot n inform [20:34] Hi, I followed the ueagle-atm guide on the Wiki, the modem syncs but I can't get a connection to the Internet [20:34] crdlb: Well, it tells me that xtightvncviewer can be updated, but I intentionally rolled that back when I first installed Hardy to be compatible with single-click VNC. [20:34] xbxb, errm, no, you need to change permissions on the partition you want to mount at /tmp .. mount it somewhere temporarily and then . sudo chmod +t /that/mount_point [20:35] unop: thanks a lot for your patience. I'll try that. [20:35] I can't connect msn(with any messenger(tried pidgin,gaim,kopete,amsn)) or any live network. (hotmail.com, live.com etc.) - anyone got any idea? [20:35] xbxb, the next time you mount that device somewhere, the mount point (which in your case is /tmp) - will automatically assume the permissions of the partition. [20:36] crdlb: And now I can't even open Nautilus. I get an error stating: "Eel:ERROR:(eel-preferences.c:673):update_auto_string_array: assertion failed: (callback_data != NULL) Aborted" [20:36] unop: OK [20:36] balz, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba#Sharing%20CUPS%20Printers [20:36] I can't connect msn(with any messenger(tried pidgin,gaim,kopete,amsn)) or any live network. (hotmail.com, live.com etc.) - anyone got any idea? [20:36] got a valid dns? [20:36] I am having trouble creating a virtual com port on a usb drive for a piece of hardware I need to use can someone plz help me [20:36] jowi: win! thank you! [20:37] I'm trying to i'm trying to turn a livecd iso into a liveusb, any tips on what not to do? [20:38] I can no longer mount usb drives through nautilus and yet I can still mount them using gnome-mount, so I can quite confused as to what to try/search for [20:38] am* [20:38] c0mp13371331337: that's probably just an effect of gconf being broken; it doesn't really help diagnose it :/ [20:38] c0mp13371331337: you could try asking in #gnome on irc.gnome.org [20:39] iam sorry but iam learning about bash scripting from this source and dont understand wat i need type in and where .. here is the guide..i even feell like this is a retarded question .. but culd any one tell me :http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/sha-bang.html [20:39] lee_, the eagle is problematic. I used it in Mandrake 8.2 (that was a long time ago) and it hasn't improved much. I would recommend to see in the french channel (#ubuntu-fr) and/or buy a cheap DSL modem or even a DSL router. Less headache. [20:40] Hello, how do you setup the drivers for a dialup internal modem? I would like to setup dialup for someone [20:40] lee_, the french used it quite a bit a few years back [20:40] Jowi: I havd tried a BT Voyager 105 too with whatever driver that was, that wouldnt even sync - it just failed... I can't find my old Speedtouch [20:41] lee_, I meant a non-usb modem [20:41] * chao1 says does anyone know how to setup a dialup connection [20:41] i could use some help on connecting an external monitor to my thinkpad x61 ... anyone in here with experience? [20:41] gr [20:41] Hey everyone! :) [20:41] Jowi: I have a router, but the point of this is to drop the connection entirely onto my server [20:41] is bash scripting ... teaching me how to navigate and get to know my ubuntu system .. through ther terminal ? [20:41] :D [20:42] cheeky: did u get it installed? [20:42] lee_, if you have a router, how do you use the eagle usb modem? [20:42] <)) [20:42] i have my loptop in a docking station, and i would like the laptop monitor to be disabled when connected to an external monitor [20:42] Jowi: when I *try* to get the modem working, I unplug the router [20:42] I might have made a mistake, but I'm not sure. My / drive and the removable drive both have similar sizes, so I told gparted to format the / instead of the removable drive. The computer is still running, but when I scan it in gparted it has the layout that I told gparted to give it [20:42] as far as I'm aware, all it changed was the 'disk label' [20:42] because the drive is mounted, it couldn't format and partition it [20:43] but what I don't know, is when I reboot, will my main drive be gone? [20:43] shouldnt [20:43] Does somebody have a default smb.conf file they could pastebin for me? I will gladly give up a virtual dollar [20:43] Hi, I need to shrink my Vista partition and add the space to one of my Ubunutu partitions. On Vista I have Acronis, but I am afraid it will mess up grub. What's the best way to do this? Boot from the live CD and do it from there? [20:43] When I install ubuntu or variant on a pc for my home sometimes the computer name works in the lan and sometimes not how can i set it so that it allways works. [20:43] cheeky, bash scripting is putting a sequence of commands together to accomplish a job .. it doesn't necessarily teach you about ubuntu. [20:43] lee_, if you have a router you cannot use a usb modem together. non-usb-modem <-> router <-> computer [20:43] balz:/usr/share/doc/samba-doc/examples [20:43] Jowi: I know, I want to eliminate the need for the router. [20:44] lee_, ah. you found a bad replacement for it :) [20:44] What can i change post install so that i can go to http:// or smb:// Computername and not 192.168.1.111 or whatever. [20:44] barbarella: i'm using mythbuntu and it doesn't come with a lot of bells and whistles... =( [20:44] Jowi: Unless I can find some good (PCI?) ADSL modem that will work under Ubuntu [20:44] can you install samba-doc? [20:44] crdlb: I'm checking with them now. Thanks for all your patience and help! [20:44] barbella: sure. what is it exactly? [20:45] documentation [20:45] lee_, I recommend a stand alone DSL modem. Ethernet connected. You set up the connection settings in the modem, set your computer up for DHCP and and off you go. [20:45] hi, i have serious issues with X [20:46] Jowi: Isn't that really what the router does :/ [20:46] define serious issues [20:46] i'm on a 640x480 screen resolution [20:46] He guys, can you help me? [20:46] I believe its setting the hostname is what im looking to do. [20:46] :-/I need to setup a dial up modem that is internal. Help - anyone. I know to use sudo pppconfig but I need to know how to setup the drivers and where do I get them. Are they part of the kernel or do I need to download them? [20:46] I've restored xorg.conf back up and can't get anything back to how it was [20:47] the best luck is a conexant internal modem and the dellbuntu driver [20:47] Hey guys can you help a nigga out [20:47] lee_, sorry I misunderstood. I thought you had a router without a modem in it. [20:47] is nautilus always slow opening and listing dir contents? can it be faster with some configs? [20:47] RoadHazaard: where do you get the dellbuntu driver [20:47] www.dell.com [20:47] Jowi: ah :) [20:48] Ok guys i will tell you the story [20:48] All about how [20:48] my life got flipped turned upside down [20:48] and i would like to take a minute [20:48] just sit right there [20:48] hey, can someone help this nigga here too?

Problem is, I can't install it and I was wondering if I could somehow install it using this Live CD and internet [22:19] I have the .iso file on my mp3-player aswell [22:19] if you have the iso you could just burn that to a cd eh ? [22:19] strategy: And blocking all ads speed things up. [22:19] can't, I don't have any empty CDs :/ [22:19] tough luck :) [22:20] I'm using the Live CD at the moment [22:20] I think you can boot from usb, try goolging for that. [22:20] googling* [22:20] imachine, syslinux [22:20] how to ssh home pc and office pc [22:20] :) [22:20] krim, i dont think it's ads.. just runs slowly and it's nearly impossible to scroll, because it keeps scrolling after you finish pressing the scrollbar down(because it hasnt scrolled enough yet i guess).. [22:20] imachine, there is no other way huh? [22:20] Drk_Guy, yeah, that's what I think debian mentioned, when I tried booting it on a barebone with no cd fdrive. [22:20] NoCigar: I've thought about installing without cd but it always seemed like a real PITA in the end. I think you're better off just waiting until you have a cd. But things might have changed. [22:21] a command or something that started an online installer [22:21] imachine, pop your stick, copy the cd files, then generate a config file for syslinux and there ya go [22:21] I remember using another dist a long time ago, net install worked like a charm [22:21] NoCigar, no that I know of. I'm not using ubuntu for a while. Just a few hours, so I haven't gotten to it's insides yet. TBH, I plan to run it with as little customization as required - wanna see how an average "not knowing much" user will manage using it :) [22:21] how usable it is. [22:21] Drk_Guy, I kno; it's not me having issues tho. [22:22] hmm [22:22] argh [22:22] I'm so unlucky [22:22] NoCigar, mebb there's some netinstall command on the livecd [22:22] strategy: well, try konqueror or epiphany but I have a feeling it's not a problem with Firefox [22:22] dunno [22:22] how can I install a Wireless G 54M USB Adapter? [22:22] imachine, just a quick-and-dirty suggestion [22:22] hi all [22:22] Drk_Guy, yeah k [22:22] Windows CD won't format my harddrive, Linux CD does but the CD is corrupted [22:22] :p [22:22] NoCigar, re-download Gparted liveCD [22:22] Drk_Guy, tell me about ext4dev tho ;-) [22:22] erUSUL:Where can i find the wine folder [22:23] d_dyer: your home [22:23] imachine, ext4 is really in the future [22:23] ok [22:23] Drk_Guy, hehe [22:23] krim, oh noes.. [22:23] Drk_Guy, ok, I've been using it for about a year now, it worked great. [22:23] imachine, although vanilla kernels (like the one i'm running) offer support for it [22:23] I just need to move my files from an old partition tho. [22:23] i just installed ubuntu and everythings nice. is it possible that i could change the boot selections (i am multi booting with windows) into something more colorful like opensuse? [22:23] Drk_Guy why do I need to download g-parted? [22:23] imachine, ext4 shouldn't be used [22:24] it's the files that are supposed to be installed that are corrupted [22:24] NoCigar, because it'll format your partitions === tobi_ is now known as jiMMiE [22:24] Drk_Guy, yeah, I know. ubuntu kernel doesn't have it. do you know how I can run it on ubbuntu, so I can get my old files like firefox configs etc ? === jiMMiE is now known as jiMMiE_bO [22:24] I need my e-mails :-) [22:24] imachine, you have to compile a kernel (EXTREMELY easy) [22:24] Hellow, when using gnome-terminal, is there a way I can disable all keyboard-shotcuts briefly while working in vim editor? [22:24] Hey, my mouse is stuck.. like.. stuck, i cant click nor move it. Any way to fix it (Preferably without ctrl-alt-backspace please /o\) [22:24] Drk_Guy, any ubuntu way to do that? [22:24] imachine, and it provides you with EXTREMELY fast kernel [22:24] Drk_Guy, I remember debian having some kernel-config stuff. [22:24] !kernel [22:24] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [22:24] like, kernelconfig packages or so. [22:25] :p [22:25] oh cheers [22:25] I love ubuntu as it is. seems so at least. [22:25] it boots faster than arch... [22:25] Drk_Guy: so, do you really gain that much performance by compiling your own kernel? [22:25] it really gained a lot recently. [22:25] i need a calendaring app that a) will mostly just sit in my system tray and notify me of appointments, and b) will sync with google calender. orage would be perfect if it could sync to google. anything else like that? [22:25] I last run it for tests at 6.x or so. wasn't as fast as it is now. [22:25] misse-, :) ubuntu stock kernel loads up all modules [22:25] it got a lot better :) [22:25] misse-, my kernel only loads my hw's modules [22:26] bazz, you can use evolution.
