I have small questions. Which text files change constantly. I know about log files. But is there some other files. [00:00] soundray: Thanks [00:01] anyone know if gnucash can save as pdf?? [00:01] artti: you're looking for text files that change, but that aren't log files? [00:01] Krauss: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=134201 [00:01] ERICHMOBILE: if it can print, it can save to PDF. [00:01] linkmaster03: I didn't thought about root being a diferent user at the moment. Mine was never locked (well, actually it's the first time I went to that menu but it's not now now) [00:01] ActionParsnip: Thanks [00:01] soundray: i wanted to it via terminal for learning purposes i should have mentoined it earlier my bad [00:01] soundray, well log files was first i found, now i look more. [00:02] linkmaster03: maybe there's something in gconf-editor [00:02] anyone know why i cant delete or move files i have just copyed to the desktop??? i keep getting permision denied errors...) [00:02] carandraug: i'll just post on ubuntuforums :P [00:02] cheeky: check whether it's mounted by running the "mount" command with no parameters. If the mount point is /media/disk, then that's where you'll find the files [00:03] artti: why, if I may ask? [00:03] soundray: ahhh nice thnx [00:03] hi, I have a folder open with lots of pictures. how do i display a coloum that shows the dimensions of the pictures (1280x800 etc...) [00:03] can i get .deb of linux kernel? [00:03] Alright soundray and ActionParsnip, thanks for the help. I'm off to try and work this out. =D [00:03] im really scared to compile kernel [00:03] :P [00:04] soundray, ehm, i got somekind game idea about four hours ago and now i've done that. [00:04] orgthingy: packages.ubuntu.org [00:04] orgthingy: Ubuntu makes it unnecessary in all but the most extreme cases [00:04] ssh session closes immediatley after opening when trying chroot users via jailkit, only info I could find was mounting /proc in the jail... still no luck, any ideas? [00:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/45977/ can anyone help [00:04] Krauss: gl man [00:04] soundray: i it spat out alot of mount points .. iam having a lil trouble finding wat my usb HDD is called [00:04] and, if i upgrade to 8.10 in october [00:04] will it upgrade kernel as well? [00:05] ImSoNewb: did you figure out what was wrong? [00:05] abc1234567: what command are you running to get that message? [00:05] cheeky: ununtu usually mounts usb drives in /media - called something like disk-1 [00:05] Thanks again ActionParsnip and sounray [00:05] soundray** [00:05] carandraug: i rebooted, loaded up the live session, and ran the installer. at the partitioning screen, the same thing is happening. no hard disks displayed and i can't proceed. [00:05] orgthingy: it will upgrady everything to current versions when you do release upgrade [00:05] wow, piping is really cool and useful.. [00:05] cheeky: if your regular hard disk is /dev/sda, it's probably /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc -- so try 'mount | grep sd | grep media' to filter the results [00:06] cheeky: so to view from the commandline you need to type "nautilus /media/disk-1" [00:06] actionparsnip : system - administatration update manager then it asks if i want to do a partial upgrade or cancel [00:06] thanks [00:07] nautilus... that new ..whats that [00:07] !upgrade | abc1234567 [00:07] abc1234567: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:07] abc1234567: you following that guide ^? [00:07] cheeky : nautilus sucks [00:07] cheeky: the gnome file manager [00:07] cheeky, it's the file browser [00:07] but still best that i know [00:08] !nautilus | cheeky [00:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about nautilus [00:08] ubottu : u know nothing [00:08] cheeky: have you seen the cli factoid? [00:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about u know nothing [00:08] ImSoNewb: that's really strange. Only thing that occurs to me is some problem with the disks installation. You'll have to ask around and say that nothing appears appears under "sudo fdisk -l" [00:08] !cli > cheeky [00:08] cheeky, please see my private message [00:08] action - running the latest version [00:08] soundray: wat cli ? [00:08] !cli | cheeky [00:08] cheeky: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[00:11] ActionParsnip: gnome-terminal is renowned for slow font rendering (but it's improved a lot in recent years) [00:11] ActionParsnip : yes, that matters a bit :P [00:11] cheese [00:11] cheese [00:12] Perfect. =D [00:12] is there a shell script/program that ables nautilus to rename multiple files at once? [00:12] Krauss: you have more RAM now? [00:12] soundray: Yup. [00:12] soundray: orgthingy: my pc is always on and yakuake is always running [00:12] soundray: You're a huge help [00:12] soundray: thanks =D [00:12] yakuake ?

Went to ctrl-altf2 and put back "nv" into it. Still have the problem after logging in and before desktop creation. [00:13] stinger1990: no, you'd need a CPU as well [00:13] ;) [00:13] well, yeah i know this [00:13] : [00:13] :P [00:13] abc1234567: http://www.backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions [00:13] anyone know the name of the "software?" that enables the 3d desktop crap? like the 3d cube? i know it starts with a C i keep wanting to say compiz am i right? i knwo this is a nooby question... but my memory is horrible [00:13] starn, compiz ? [00:14] stinger1990: Ubuntu Server edition installs fine in 3GB HD [00:14] ph0rensic: there must be another setting or conf file somewhere interfering with a bad setting. [00:14] starn, compiz sounds right to me [00:14] orgthingy: its the equiv of tilda in gnome [00:14] !server > stinger1990 [00:14] this is going to be the most retarded question today, but how for heavens sake can i paste something in nautilus (preferably without terminal. I already tried googling it for 2 hours [00:14] stinger1990, please see my private message [00:14] !tilda | orgthingy [00:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about tilda [00:14] so, I would be able to host an UT3 server fine? [00:14] tilda? [00:14] * orgthingy goes to wikipedia [00:14] orgthingy: its like console in quake o halflife [00:14] with 2GB ram, and 1.8GHz Sempron [00:14] InHisName: nothing comes to mind man sorry [00:14] art_: nautilus? the file browser? just right click, paste [00:14] Siph0n: oh ok thanks ^^ i never trust my memory lol for normaly it is wrong. [00:14] art_: right-click and select Paste from the context menu? [00:14] it wont [00:14] i need permission [00:14] i have around 1GHZ laptop [00:14] orgthingy: basically you can view or hide the terminal with a hot key [00:15] with ~300mb ram [00:15] art_: what exactly are you trying to copy and where? [00:15] and crappy ATI graphics card [00:15] #1 worst pc of all time [00:15] peace out kids, im gone, [00:15] l8r [00:15] a config file in /usr/local/games/enemy-territory [00:15] orgthingy: sudo apt-get install tilda [00:15] orgthingy: please keep it on one line and express yourself professionally [00:15] what;s hot key though? [00:16] Siph0n: hey um whats the dif in compiz fusion? and compiz?... i just got a little confused. [00:16] soundray : awww :'( [00:16] orgthingy: hot key for what? [00:16] soundray : tilda [00:16] starn, not sure :) ... compiz fusion may be the new name for it.... but dont quote me :) [00:16] ActionParsnip : what alias do you have? [00:16] most of my alias begin with "mk" :P [00:16] it makes it sound more UNIXish :P [00:16] starn, I thought two things combined to form compiz fusion [00:17] starn: I think compiz and beryl combined to make compiz fusion, so there are packages from both projects [00:17] Siph0n: ok thanks :) might be.. um. i guess i shall download fusion.. [00:17] starn: wait what os u on? [00:17] Hi room [00:17] sasser lol [00:17] ph0rensic: ubuntu 8.04 [00:18] !who | art_ [00:18] art_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:18] Do I have to do anything special to boot a computer remotely, by NIC? Or just acess it? [00:18] starn: do a sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manage [00:18] ph0rensic: and i know i dont have no dang 3d cube like my first install [00:18] what do i need to do to get a basic webcam to work? i plugged it in and nothing happened automagically [00:18] oops manager [00:18] How do you installl themes? i'm having a bit of trouble [00:18] let me reformulate: what magic keycombination (e.g. alt-f4) lets my type in my password in nautilus, so i can paste something [00:18] ph0rensic: ok [00:18] art_: you need to run 'gksudo nautilus'. Be careful with what you do while that is open. After you have copied the file, be sure to close this instance of nautilus [00:18] ok [00:18] i'm not able to use dbus in an ssh session.. I typed export `dbus-launch` and export $DISPLAY=:0.0 ... do I need to do anything else? [00:19] starn: Because fusion comes packaged with hardy .. you just have to enable the control for it by sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [00:19] !midi [00:19] Trouble playing MIDI files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo [00:19] ph0rensic: ah... i see um it says couldn't find package. i'll check if i added a space from copy and past :D i know i am lazy [00:19] !webcam > duxbarak [00:19] duxbarak, please see my private message [00:20] Aaskereia: please explain a bit more about what you are trying to do [00:20] starn: at the end did you copy the manage or manager? === asdas is now known as LGKeiz [00:20] ph0rensic: if its in apt-get wont it be in the package manager thingy? [00:20] yeeeah, it worked [00:20] thnx jrib and ubottu [00:20] ph0rensic: yes not suppose to? [00:20] starn: It should have the r at the end [00:20] Any audio visualization software on Linux? [00:20] manager not manage [00:20] how can i close the instance? [00:21] thanks [00:21] Yvonne, thanks for the link. [00:21] :) [00:21] art_: press the x [00:21] MindVirus: do you mean eyecandy or envelope curves and such? [00:21] ph0rensic: wow that makes me feel dumb ty mate [00:21] soundray: I got Exaile running on my other computer. I SSH'd into that system and typed export $DISPLAY=:0.0 and export `dbus-launch`, but when I type "exaile -q", it says no running instance of Exaile found.. even though it's running. I'd liek to be able to control it via SSH [00:21] sall good man [00:21] soundray, I wouldn't know. I mean something that looks pretty to music. [00:21] lol [00:22] somethings are so illogical to me as windows user that the logical seems to easy to be true [00:22] Hello [00:22] art_, it's OK. Not everyone's as smart as I am. [00:22] I'm going to install dualboot with WinXP on my laptop, the Ubuntu documentation says you can just do a defrag of WinXP and then run the live CD to partition, is this really OK, or will I get better results reformatting and setting partitions then? [00:22] Aaskereia: forget about dbus and $DISPLAY and use 'ssh -CX user@othercomputer'. Then exaile will play on the other computer, but display on your local one. [00:22] Gosseyn77: Hiya. [00:22] is there persons living in china or usa please? [00:23] why is it telling methat I do not have permission to access a folder? [00:23] Gosseyn77, here. [00:23] im the uhh OWNER [00:23] what o_O [00:23] ph0rensic: thankyou i now got the one function i've been wanting my 3d cube [00:23] wat, check its permissions. [00:23] Gosseyn77: USA here. [00:23] i dont need sudo to use rm? [00:23] guibby: IMO reinstalling both from scratch works best if you can do that [00:23] it says owner root [00:23] I can just huge pain! [00:23] how do i let this folder know im root? [00:23] wat, use sudo. [00:23] You're not the owner if the owner is root. [00:23] starn: cool, be sure to enable cube caps and set images for those so the cube at the top and bottom isn't plain [00:23] Root is the owner. [00:23] !sudo | wat [00:23] ewwwwwww windows [00:23] wat: 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) [00:23] You can be root if you have high privileges. [00:23] !gksu [00:24] 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) [00:24] soundray, I'm SSH'ing into the system with a cellphone. I can't make it display X windows [00:24] guibby - I could be wrong, but i think defragging in windows puts all of the data in the very beginning of the disk, so that would mean that the data toward the end won't be erased. [00:24] soundray, something with dbus can't be done? [00:24] guibby: Second best option is to use partition magic to resize the windows drive [00:24] ph0rensic: you mean you can fix that? wow my first install i just learned to ignore it. [00:24] guibby: After a defrag etc [00:24] OK then, I'll do that, I didn't have anything better to do tonight! [00:24] Aaskereia: I see... maybe use a cli audio player instead of exaile? [00:25] starn: Yes you can even set hotkeys to scroll through several differnt image options while your moving the cube [00:25] so how do i do gksudo to open up the file browser? [00:25] wat: why do you want to do that? [00:25] wat: gksudo nautilus [00:25] wat: hit Alt-F2 and type gksudo nautilus [00:25] wat: be careful or you can screw Ubuntu up with that [00:25] So then in terms of partition size, assuming I have about 15 GB or so space I can use for my Ubuntu install, how would you allocate space: 500 MB to swap, 8 to root and 7 to home, or more to root? [00:25] soundray: What I'm asking is if it's possible to do it with dbus [00:25] wat: please be very careful while you run nautilus with root privileges [00:25] Does anyone something that looks pretty to music? [00:26] How is ubuntu pronounced? ooh*boon*two ? [00:26] what? how come soundray? === eddie is now known as Guest51834 [00:26] Strategy: Yes [00:26] MindVirus: I did not understand your question [00:26] wat, you can accidentally delete something and fsck up your entire ubuntu install [00:26] SebNaitsabes, visualizer. Like AVS or Milkdrop in Windows. [00:26] NotDamienGray, thanks =] [00:26] MindVirus: a pretty music program? [00:26] wat: strategy has put that very nicely [00:26] guibby: What I did was assign 100 to root 2 to swap and home will install in root [00:26] SebNaitsabes, I guess. [00:27] soundray, ty :p [00:27] Strategy: No problem. [00:27] Here's a long question. I have Ubuntu that I use as a live CD. I want to know what I can use to connect to my home machine through SSH and VNC. [00:27] MindVirus: you can try Wine or you can run Windows inside Ubuntu [00:27] Aaskereia: I'm not sure why you are getting a dbus message there [00:27] No. [00:27] I want something native. [00:27] guibby: Although I have never seperated my root and home dirs before I know there is certainly advantages, although with not much space, you might be better with them combined [00:27] MindVirus: I have a link that maybe will help [00:27] Currently I just use puTTY and RealVNC (GUI) to pull this off. What can I use that doesn't need installation on Ubuntu to tunnel the proper port and do VNC? [00:27] okay here why I needed to do that i guess, i installed samba and im trying to share a folder but it tells me 'net usershare' returned error 255, etc etc cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. error permision denied and you do not have permission to create a usershare [00:27] So you didn't want your documents on a different partition ph0rensic? In case you wanted to do an upgrade or anything [00:27] soundray: i managed to get into my usb drive .. through the terminal thnks;but there is something i need to know; i wanna use the grep function .. so like there is a file called cheeky .. so i did a "grep cheeky" and i was in that current directory .. nothing happened when i pressed enter ..i did ctrl C ... did i type the grep funtion wrong ? [00:28] soundray: Because I have a script that uses Dbus to control exaile, which works locally on the machine [00:28] so im trying to figure out how to do this so I can share this folder oer my network so my windows PCs can use it etc [00:28] ZeroSerenity, both ssh and vnc clients come preinstalled even with the livecd iirc [00:28] hi I got netbeans in .sh extension now how to install link please ? [00:28] Aaqil, dont do that [00:28] Hmmm, good point. [00:28] Aaqil, simply open a new terminal and type: sudo apt-get install netbeans [00:28] Aaqil, in a few minutes, netbeans will be ready to use [00:28] strategy: I did sudo apt-get install netbeans before it said package not found [00:29] guibby: Well Im sure it would be better that way... Mostly I save backups to a NAS drive and have all my media, backup, etc there [00:29] Aaqil, hm [00:29] one second [00:29] What the hell? I'm banned from #php and #apache, even though I've never used those channels. [00:29] cheeky: yes, you have to give it one or more file names to search through. Try 'grep cheeky *' to search all files in the current dir. [00:29] strategy: How do I use them to pul off what I want? [00:29] Aaqil, you sure? [00:29] I'm just experimenting mostly, and I want to start to learn how to program and I'd rather do that on linux than windows [00:29] ZeroSerenity, what exactly do you want? [00:29] Most of my media will stay on the windows portion [00:29] ZeroSerenity, i didnt hear you the first time sorry [00:29] guibby: How big is your whole drive? [00:29] strategy: yup I was here before and last instruction I got to download .sh file from netbeans web [00:30] Aaqil, interesting. you're running hardy right? [00:30] 80 GB [00:30] guibby: what sort of programming are you looking to do? [00:30] Aaskereia: okay, got it now. This may not be solvable with ssh -- perhaps you can get a VNC client for your phone and setup remote desktop on the exaile machine? [00:30] guibby: How much is windows currently using? [00:30] Just learning for fun, I want to learn python [00:30] Use SSH to tunnel port 5800 so I can use VNC through SSH. [00:30] someone know a china chat please?

[00:31] I'm reluctant to send all files to linux, because I have an ipod touch [00:31] soundray ubottu thanks :) [00:31] ph0rensic: um i got an image on top but none on bottom why?? [00:31] Aaqil, copy and paste this directly: sudo apt-get install netbeans [00:31] SebNaitsabes, I need a VISUALIZER. [00:31] Something that looks good. [00:31] Not something that plays. [00:32] soundray: so wildstar means present directory ? [00:32] soundray: uh, no, not what I'm looking to do [00:32] thanks anyway [00:32] guibby: hehe ok, so maybe do 60 for win and 20 for linux then give 1 Gig for swap, and 8 for root and 11 for home/? [00:32] starn: Did you set which images to load for cube caps? [00:32] MindVirus: I don't think there is anything, but you can try http://www.osalt.com http://www.linuxeq.com http://www.sf.net and http://www.freshmeat.net [00:32] Is anyone familiar with the Ruby1.9 package in Ubuntu? [00:32] cheeky: no, by itself, it means 'all files in the present directory' [00:32] ph0rensic: yes. [00:33] starn: I wasn't getting any images with mine so I had to add the image path for both [00:33] Why so much for swap? [00:33] strategy: yup I am using hardy [00:33] SebNaitsabes, thanks anyways. [00:33] Aaqil, interesting. did you copy & paste what i said? [00:33] MindVirus: you can find pretty much any LInux program that exists on sf and freshmeat [00:33] free [00:33] starn: Maybe the bottom image is linked to a non existent file [00:33] MindVirus: searching for audio visulizer or something on those two, could do the trick [00:34] strategy: hey now its working [00:34] soundray: i wanna copy the a direcotry to my music folder in my / home directory so would this work " "cp -r music /home/user/music/music" ? [00:34] Aaqil, probably typo'd before or something :) [00:34] freenode [00:34] starn: or one without read permissions... [00:34] SebNaitsabes, I'm not interested in SF. I want to find if it's in the package manager. If I wanted to get software not in APT I would have gotten it. [00:34] FreeNode [00:34] I should write something. [00:34] MindVirus: I don't think there is in package manager [00:34] strategy: now I am downloading before it was saying E package now found etc something like that [00:34] ph0rensic: i dont know.. i even tried two images think it is back ground image? some how? seeing how skydome seems to be that. === root is now known as NotDamienGray [00:35] MindVirus: ,but sure if you can program write your own for Linux [00:35] MindVirus: and lisense under GPL of course :) [00:35] Of course. [00:35] What's a good IRC client that will show up in the programs list? Konversation requires me to run it as root, and it seems that's why I'm banned from some channels. [00:35] what program do we have that opens publisher docs [00:36] NotDamienGray: konversation does not require you to run it as root...

[00:42] jrib: http://pastebin.com/m2125f710 [00:42] bancai: they are working on stuff like that I think, however most programs you can get as a Deb [00:43] Thebanman, what do you mean? like triple boot? [00:43] Thebanman: If you can make it I'm sure people wouldn't buy it lol this is linux [00:43] SebNaitsabes, what do you mean by working on stuff like that? [00:43] soundray: i hope so ;someo mentioned about a file system manager .. were they talking aboutit ..like its run in cli ?

[00:44] Thebanman: OSX can run on a PC yes, but that's not perfect. uhmmmmm you can run WIndows inside Linux [00:44] So it works properly because linux wont let me game [00:45] NotDamienGray: make sure you use gksu or kdesu when you need to launch a gui app as root from now on, but you should really never need to [00:45] soundray: so you u just navigate and manage files ..using nomal cli and assinging variables and using the alias command to make life easier .. with no cli file manager ?

[00:54] i have UBUNTU 8.01.1 [00:54] filius: open a terminal and run 'ifconfig' [00:54] i could install openvpn on the remote server then just localforward its port, and on the restricted machine connect to localhost:openvpnport, but i noticed ssh has this -w option which seems to be a VPN of sorts [00:54] filius: there is no such version [00:54] wers-> nothing like ro quiet splash at the kernel line? [00:54] where can i fidn more information on this [00:54] is there a way to vnc to my remote desktop on a different user without disturbing another already logged in session? [00:54] filius: netstat -n [00:55] Qster: That's not what VNC do [00:55] oh yah. thanks, amenado2 :D [00:55] benjick: well is there anything that does? :P [00:55] Qster, which vncserver is being used? [00:55] Qster: maybe, but have a look at this site http://www.nomachine.com I still haven't figured out how to use this yet as such, but I was able to use it to get into another account on this computer using LAN. [00:55] BAD [00:55] nomachine = free as in beer, not free as in speech [00:55] what is the "super" key?? [00:55] thanks, Swish [00:56] starn, windows key [00:56] welcome filius [00:56] but i dont want see it so [00:56] jscinoz the one that comes with ubuntu [00:56] Qster, ie you configured it thorugh system > preferences > remote desktop? [00:56] jsinoz: are you trying to say it's propritary? [00:56] yes! [00:56] i wanna see real ips [00:56] :P [00:56] jscinoz: windows key? super? thats funny.. seeing how in windows it cuases me pain... [00:56] jscinoz yes [00:57] jscinoz: so what :D VNC is insecure unless it's some how tunnled over SSH [00:57] starn: Well, windows adapted the superkey and made it the windows key [00:57] Qster, one moment theres another you can install in synaptic that starts its own session [00:57] Qster-> what do you want done? you want another user to control your desktop? [00:57] jscinoz wow thanks :) [00:57] SebNaitsabes, yeah VNCoverSSH is pretty much required :P [00:57] Is there a linux special for trolls ? [00:57] benjick: oh... and turned it into the worst thing ever? ;) anyways ty guys. [00:57] Hello Swish [00:57] starn: Hehe [00:57] no amenado2 i want to log into my remote desktop on another user [00:57] jscinoz: do you know how to do it? Ubuntu to Ubuntu and Ubuntu to WIndows. and for that matter Windows to Ubuntu [00:58] Qster that does not jive, my remote desktop and another user? [00:58] Q_Contoxicated, vnc4server in the repository should do it [00:58] starn: Windows key. [00:58] SebNaitsabes: even nomachine cannot do windows --> ubuntu... [00:58] Qster, but there is no shiny GUI to configure it so you will have to consult the man pages and config files [00:58] starn: nevermind, my text was scrolled up a bit. [00:58] SebNaitsabes, VNC over ssh you want? [00:58] Odd-rationale: you have used nomachine then? [00:58] jscinoz ok ill give it a try [00:58] I guess you want something like windows terminal server? [00:58] jscinoz: yeah and with listening. so the noobs don't have to open a port [00:58] SebNaitsabes: sometime ago... but yes... [00:59] hello benjick [00:59] how are you? [00:59] filius: Why are you turning to me? [00:59] filius: I'm good. But this is no place for chat :P [00:59] but i wanna know anythings [01:00] About? [01:00] Odd-rationale-> umm you can use vnc or freenx from windows to ubuntu [01:00] amenado2: i meant windows server. linux client... [01:00] i wanna see the ips connected in my red [01:00] amenado2: yeah freenx that's what nomachine uses? [01:01] SebNaitsabes: freenx is the open implementeation of nxserver [01:01] but i wanna see it real ips [01:01] filius: In your red? [01:01] What's that :P [01:01] SebNaitsabes-> per Odd-rationale [01:01] yeah [01:01] ARGH [01:01] the IPs connected in my red [01:02] school pwnt my tunnel [01:02] or network [01:02] i am sorry [01:02] SebNaitsabes, did you get the things i said about VNC over ssh? [01:02] I don't really care how I do it just as long as it's secure. so listening. they connect to me use my open port which then shows me and lets me control their desktop. and at times maybe I want to let someone connect into my Ubuntu box securely. from either Windows or Linux [01:02] i speak spanish [01:02] and Qster did vnc4server work [01:02] jscinoz: no I did not [01:02] filius: there are Spanish channels: [01:02] !es | filius [01:02] filius: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [01:03] yep listening/reverse connecting so noobs don't have to open ports [01:03] jscinoz: i believe it will if i can figure it out :) [01:03] thanks [01:03] SebNaitsabes, Ubuntu client to any server all you do is ssh to the remote box with the option -L SOMEPORT:localhost:VNCPORT, then in your vnc client, connect to localhost:SOMEPORT, which forwards to the box you are ssh'd to, on whatever you said for VNCPORT [01:03] Qster, ok good luck :) [01:03] jscinoz: thanks for your help [01:03] Hi, all. I'd like to install ubuntu, but only have a 7.10 disc. If I use that will a dist-upgrade bring me current? I would download and burn, but don't have any discs. [01:03] jscinoz: on WIndows they seem to need putty so that SSH can be used. and then to set up some sort of port forwarding in that [01:04] SebNaitsabes: You can use putty to tunnel traffic [01:04] SebNaitsabes, is windows the server or client? [01:04] SebNaitsabes, in putty, you can configure tunnels the same way, just go to tunnels, then make a local tunnel with SOMEPORT:localhost:VNCPORT [01:04] Is there something different about hardy as far as ethernet goes? I'm running xub hardy on a box that worked fine way back in the days of RH 7.3. Router shows something is plugged in [01:04] the one that is being connected to is the server yes? so the server [01:04] aTypical: yes, you can do that. There are ways of installing without a disk, though: [01:04] and the ethernet card is lit up [01:04] SebNaitsabes, ok does this server have ssh running? [01:04] !install | aTypical [01:04] aTypical: 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 [01:05] aTypical-> you can use that, then you can use debootstrap to load the newer..and pkagaes after..i dont suggest upgrading, people had difficulty time with upgrades..dont know why [01:05] SebNaitsabes, if its windows server, you need to get openssh for windows [01:05] Anything that is supposed to be see thru is showing a different than my desktop. It's ruining my themes and I can't figure out where this image was set to display. [01:05] ssh is being such a pain D: [01:06] amenado2: most such difficulties arise from modifications of the gutsy install. A freshly installed gutsy will upgrade cleanly [01:06] hi, is there a way to display image size in list view in nautilus?? [01:06] aTypical-> just an fyi, a debootstrap installs the base, then installing the packages to complete it [01:06] jscinoz: what I want. Windows/Linux noob to connect to my open port which is listening. then there computer loads up on mine. and for that to be done securely. I also would like Windows/lLinux noob or someone to maybe connect to my computer, but securely. [01:07] hi after enabling BOT I am getting this message again and again on every installation http://paste.ubuntu.com/45995/ [01:07] soundray oh okay cool..i guess off the bat people tend to do an update that modifies and then do an upgrade.. [01:07] Thank you, soundray and amenado2. I think a discless install would be cool. I'll read the link. [01:07] SebNaitsabes, alright, just to make sure i understand what you want. you have people using windows or linux, connecting to a VNC server running on a windows box? [01:07] where can i download ubottu [01:07] SebNaitsabes, is this correct? [01:07] source code [01:08] think it's a supybot [01:08] jscinoz: a listening vnc server I guess it is [01:08] SebNaitsabes, and the vnc server is on windows? [01:08] yes [01:08] tuxice: yep a supybot [01:08] or Ubuntu [01:08] SebNaitsabes, ok, and i assume you need to do it over a ssh tunnel since the VNC servre you're using doesnt have built in SSL support? [01:09] can i download [01:09] jscinoz: I can give you a link for what I have been doing, when it came to Ubuntu to Ubuntu, but that's not the secure way [01:09] SebNaitsabes: make sure your users know when you are connecting to their machines remotely [01:10] soundray: yes they know [01:10] soundray: they have to accept the connection in fact [01:10] soundray: by running vnc [01:10] can i have php run commands in terminla [01:10] tuxice: yes supybot.com [01:10] is it possible to download ubottu [01:10] SebNaitsabes: just an aside [01:10] terminal [01:10] tuxice: search for the ubuntu bots project on launchpad.net [01:11] i want to have a way to turn off my server remotly [01:11] SebNaitsabes, what i think youcould try is, install putty on the client machines, make the configuration to connect to the windows server running openssh, then set up bookmarks in the vnc client to connect to localhost:VNCport this would make it easy for the users === Guest69139 is now known as talntid [01:12] and the ubuntu users, just set out the details for the host in ~/.ssh/config then just make a script that connects to that ssh host, then runs vncviewer localhost:VNCPORT [01:12] jscinoz: yeah exactly it should be easy for the people being remote connected [01:12] SebNaitsabes, althugh if you can find a vnc server that has built in encryption [01:12] jscinoz: however what your saying I do not know how to do [01:12] itd probably be a lot easier [01:12] since you dont really need the ssh tunnel then [01:12] hi [01:13] jscinoz: that's what I thought http://www.nomachine.com basically was, a way to do SSH securely [01:13] with VNC [01:13] jahnkeanater: install sshd, then you can run ssh user@remote 'sudo shutdown -h now' [01:13] hi, is there a room here for nautilus questions? [01:13] SebNaitsabes, i believe it is just a VNC server with built in encryption [01:13] and has a custom vnc client with encryption support [01:13] bert1: not specifically. Try and ask here [01:13] ok... [01:14] hi, is there a way to display image size in list view in nautilus?? [01:14] hi all [01:14] !firewall [01:14] 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). [01:15] jscinoz: well I told you what I want and you seem to understand that, but problem is I am not at all sure how to acheive all that securely [01:15] I've put a couple of "drawers" on my upper panel. Does anyone know of a way to auto populate a drawer with directory links that are inside of another directory? [01:15] SebNaitsabes, give me a moment to have a look at if nomachine does what you want [01:15] how do i turn off the internal firewall? [01:15] jscinoz: ok sure thanks [01:15] let my router do all the work [01:16] sjea: it's a good idea to have a software firewall so the one built into Ubuntu [01:17] sjea: as well as hardware so your router [01:17] sjea: not a good idea.. because your router doesn't "do all the work" that it is suppose to. Although most are very good. [01:17] bert1: I don't think so. It may be possible to extend nautilus with a script. I usually run 'jpeginfo *.jpg' or 'file *.png' in a terminal [01:18] soundray what i want to do is this... [01:18] humm ok ic what i trying to do is a few things torrents and remote admin? but not sure how i have firestarter but seames like i allways have to start it up every time i turn it on === fogobogo_ is now known as fogobogo [01:18] i have a large folder of wallpapers, and i need to sort the in to folders of there image sizes... [01:19] *them [01:19] should /etc/hostname contain the fqdn for your domain, or just the sub? [01:19] but i cant find a way to achieve this... [01:19] bert1: I think you can just do that in the file manager [01:19] bert1: what image format are they? [01:19] SebNaitsabes, how so?? there is no coloum... [01:19] Oh man, all sorts of others have this trouble and it only "might" get fixed in Intrepid... [01:19] bert1: yes open your image folder. and there should be the size colum and you press size and it does it [01:20] soundray, a mixture of jpg and png [01:20] SebNaitsabes, i mean "image" size, not file size [01:20] SebNaitsabes: I think bert1 means the image dimensions, not the file sizes [01:20] SebNaitsabes, Im not sure but nomachien NXservre should work [01:21] jscinoz: ok what do I need to do? [01:21] ive been happy with ubuntu so far, can;t believe i've been stomped on such a simple exercise... :( [01:21] jscinoz: and what does the other person need to do as well, but yeah my end first :) [01:22] jscinoz: maybe we can test this together also [01:22] SebNaitsabes, it looks like the NXserver is linux only [01:22] waht do i have to do to get sshd runing [01:22] bert1: it's not simple. Remember, nautilus is a general purpose file manager, not an image manager [01:22] what [01:22] and i believe you wanted them to be connecting to a indows desktop? [01:22] ok, who wants to help me ssh into my own box at home? i'm at work [01:22] jahnkeanater: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [01:22] soundray, yeah its looking that way... I guess i need to find an app to do it... [01:23] bert1: either that, or do it in the terminal [01:23] bert1: how many files need sorting? [01:23] about 150 lol [01:23] soundray, ^^^ [01:23] i'm going to be a little peeved if i find out i can't ssh into my own box from work because my work firewall wont allow it >.> [01:23] bert1: and how many different sizes are there? [01:23] im wondering how that will work [01:23] jscinoz: well knowing how to Linux to Linux securely with NXserver is a start I guess [01:23] SebNaitsabes, i cant talk for long, im actually at school now :P i have an exam in 2hrs so i must study some :P [01:24] i installed it in synaptic im googleing it now [01:24] SebNaitsabes, email me at jscinoz@gmail.com if you have any issues and ill try help you when i get home after exam [01:24] SebNaitsabes, linux-to-linux i'd still recommend ssh+vpn [01:24] bye for now :) [01:24] mainly 1280x800 - 1440x900 - 1650x1050 & 1920x1200... soundray [01:24] I need help getting the right drivers for my ati card. [01:24] How to upgrade pidgin ? [01:24] it will on it's own [01:24] if the updates are on [01:25] Aaqil: try getdeb.net [01:25] * bluefox83 is wondering if he's going to have to set up a vpn server on his home machine -_- [01:25] who is he? me? [01:25] me [01:25] i'm trying to ssh into my linux box at home, but i'm at work [01:25] work/college [01:25] Anyone using a Radeon HD 4870 having trouble running any games under wine? [01:25] bluefox83, it's not working? [01:26] Even starcraft isnt working for me. It just bugs out [01:26] and when i try to ssh in (or anyone tries to for that matter) it just times out [01:26] bert1: okay, here's a sample procedure for moving png files that are 1280x800 in size: [01:26] has anyone able to connect their usb camera to pidgin? [01:26] bluefox83, have you set up openssh-server? Is there a hole (22) in your router? [01:26] cheeky: you mean web cam? [01:26] craigbass1976, yes and yes [01:27] SebNaitsabes: yeas sorry my bad [01:27] cheeky: Pidgin does not suppourt web cam at the moment, but AMSN does, and I think Kmess as well [01:27] bluefox83, do you have static ip at home? [01:27] i would really like to know why the heck the pidgin people are still dragging their feet on webcam support >.> [01:27] bluefox83: because they don't want it most likely [01:27] bluefox83, too many pedofiles out there... [01:27] SebNaitsabes: does ksm ..like cauze system to act the new ubuntu or still testing stages? [01:27] bert1: create the target folder with 'mkdir 1280x800', then run file *.png | grep "1280 x 800" | cut -f : -d 1 | xargs -i cp '{}' 1280x800/ [01:27] craigbass1976, the machine i'm ssh'ing into does...and i can connect to the router so that much should work [01:27] bluefox83: well I upgraded Pidgin yesterday, and :) at last can see peoples MSN display names and what they are listening to [01:28] can I get email notifiers in ubuntu ? like gmail notifier etc pop3 mail notifier [01:28] cheeky: I did not understand [01:28] ok soundray i am going to give it a try now... [01:28] bluefox83, can you ssh into it from another box in the house where the computer is? [01:28] SebNaitsabes: no m8 nvm [01:28] craigbass1976, yep [01:29] bluefox83, fwah.... [01:29] cheeky: as for the new Ubuntu, I woudn't recommend upgrading untill at least Beta [01:29] i *think* i need to reset the router...we had a power outage recently...i think it just needs to be restarted [01:29] that's just a guess though >.> [01:29] bluefox83, what about the static ip? [01:29] SebNaitsabes: i think i already have the new beta you mean hardy right ? [01:29] sorry soundray, i presume i put the path to the images before the "*.png" ??? [01:29] cheeky: lol no that's the stable [01:29] More questions. How can you go out of the GUI compoent and back to strictly command line? [01:30] ZeroSerenity, Ctrl+Alt+F1 [01:30] bert1: no, you should cd to the source folder first === madmike is now known as madmike`sleep [01:30] ZeroSerenity, F1 through F6 I think are each terminals [01:30] SebNaitsabes: snap my bad [01:30] craigbass1976, what about it's static ip? it's one i set on the box itself, the modem though is cable...so i do have a dynamic ip..it just takes a while to change [01:30] bert1: if you don't, the command will have to be adapted [01:30] hi all [01:30] Hey all [01:30] Does that close Gnome though? [01:30] SUp [01:30] cheeky: Ubuntu goes through many testing stages before a final stable release comes out. the releases are October and April [01:31] cheeky: unless something is delayed, which happended with some previous version which then came out in June [01:31] bluefox83, can you confirm somehow that the address you're loggin into is in fact the public ip of your house? [01:31] so like next month wow those cyles are months apart [01:31] bluefox83, have someone on the other end go to whatismyip.com ? [01:31] i'm gonna install ubuntu, but last time i did i had to use the alternate cd, because of some problems with my ati x1400 card (laptop), i wanna know if it's still there so i can decide which cd to download [01:31] cheeky: ,but I like to get next Ubuntu a bit early, but not to early I did that once with a previous [01:31] I let iTunes reorganise my music, now it can't be indexed by Rythmnbox. This a known issue? [01:32] thats the beuty of this ... it grows with humanity evolves asit does ... mutual worls [01:32] i love it [01:32] I have two computers, each with its own monitor. I would like to use the same keyboard and mouse for both machines, without using a switch box. Anyone know what software is available for doing this? [01:32] cheeky: alpha is like testing developers only and really early adopters. Beta is like this is a preview of what is to come [01:32] craigbass1976, i logged into my router just fine [01:32] cheeky: then the release candiates and the final release. take Firefox 3 for example the 3rd RC was the same as the final [01:32] SebNaitsabes: no, generally alpha means "incomplete", and beta means "feature complete, but insufficiently tested" [01:33] bluefox83, oh yeah, forgot that. [01:33] cheeky: well what soundray say [01:33] said [01:33] how do i run it [01:33] bluefox83, did it give your ubuntu box an ip lately? [01:33] SebNaitsabes: Does running on "unstable" give you the next release automatically when it enters beta? Or is unstable, just running unstable updates for the current release and therefore hardly any features included. [01:33] sshd i installed it but what do i do now [01:33] craigbass1976, i dunno...we used it to print this morning... [01:33] SebNaitsabes: wickd m8 solike you could take your home directory somwhere else and keep installing different ubuntu to check out [01:33] bert1: for the jpeg files, you need to 'sudo apt-get install jpeginfo' and modify the command somewhat [01:34] cheeky: the safest way to try the next Ubuntu, would be a virtual machine inside your stable Ubuntu [01:34] bluefox83, I'm out of ideas, unless someone can put their hands on it [01:34] ok soundray im try this now [01:34] jscinoz: your awsome it works :) [01:34] Anyone know how to instal dans web guardian on a stock install of xubuntu? Is there a repo I've got to enable? [01:34] Next question. How can I connect to a wireless network that has a hidden SSID? [01:34] SebNaitsabes: nice [01:34] bert1: jpeginfo | grep "1280 x 800" | cut -f " " -d 1 | xargs -i cp '{}' 1280x800/ [01:34] craigbass1976, when i get home, i'm gonna do an old-fashioned unplug and see if that doesn't gel better ;) [01:34] SebNaitsabes: i have a lt to leanr b4 i could do that [01:34] bert1: arrgh, mistake [01:35] bert1: jpeginfo *.png | grep "1280 x 800" | cut -f " " -d 1 | xargs -i cp '{}' 1280x800/ [01:35] SebNaitsabes: does ubuntu have a firewall ? [01:35] Thoku: yes if you get the unstable. it should auto update fine untill the final release. however that was not quite the case when I got Ubuntu way to early with Gutsy Gibbon. in fact updates made things worse in the end. and I had to just wait untill the final was nearer. ,but that's what I got for getting Ubuntu to early as a non developer :D [01:35] bluefox83, try and make it work first though; see if you can figure out what happened. [01:35] cheeky, not by defaut [01:35] cheeky, last I knew, iptables was installed, but not doing anything [01:35] bert1: note, this will create copies rather than moving the files. If the copying works, you can try moving instead -- it will be faster. [01:35] SebNaitsabes: like i hated windows coz it was flooded with rubbish on the networlk always ...it just soo bad you get used to it .. it drives on nuts i say [01:36] craigbass1976, i'm thinking it just needs reset...once it gets reset it should take to new settings a little better [01:36] !firewall | cheeky [01:36] cheeky: 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). [01:36] SebNaitsabes: Ah lol [01:36] craigbass1976, sometimes when we have a power outage or a surge it kinda half-boots and then new settings don't work [01:36] How do I find files in dir and lower that are less than 24 hrs since saving. find . "and then what" [01:36] craigbass1976: wa would i need to read in terms of securing my computer .. install iptables? [01:37] bluefox83, ahh. Got a parrot or something to reboot when this happens? [01:37] soundray: thnks man [01:37] ok that seems to have worked, thanks soundray =) [01:37] anyone understand this error I get when I try to install gparted [01:37] W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gparted/gparted_0.3.5-1ubuntu3_i386.deb [01:37] Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) [01:37] cheeky, what are you trying to protect? If you're not running and listening services, then there's not too much you have to worry about [01:37] InHisName: find . -mmin 1440 [01:37] Thoku: if your doing mission critical stuff on your compute probably best to wait untill the final. if not the beta should be fine [01:37] what do i need other than build-essentials to compile from source. [01:37] no, i usually find out after i need to make a change...and end up having to do it by hand myself...it's ok though i'll be home in half an hour anyways [01:37] InHisName: sorry, mistake [01:37] cheeky, running any, not running and. sorry [01:37] InHisName: find . -mmin -1440 [01:37] Thoku: and yes Ubuntu can be upgraded from release to release. [01:38] Thoku: no need to re install every time [01:38] SebNaitsabes: Yeah, its just my desktop machine. [01:38] x_, I get something similar to that all the time, but yours looks really weird [01:38] craigbass1976: just my computer and wirelessconnection [01:39] X_: you seem to have installed a web proxy, but it's not working or not set up correctly. [01:39] cheeky, is your wireless connection already encrypted? [01:39] Thoku: some packages in the next one such as Banshee can actsaully get in Hardy [01:39] x_, it looks like you're using some kond of proxy or something because it is trying to connect to your own computer [01:39] X_: edit /etc/environment and remove the proxy variable setting, then reboot and try again [01:39] how do i inactivate the ALT+SPACE shortcut in gnome terminal? [01:39] SebNaitsabes: Ah sweet, so early versions can be picked up individually. [01:39] for some programs yes [01:39] craigbass1976: prewvent adware and pop up rubbish when you cruing on the urge for knowlege .. yourmind was never free from those ads .. h8 windows ... [01:40] well it's not really an early version as such. Hardy is behind with Banshee big time [01:40] hello [01:40] craigbass1976: i have no idea [01:40] Ubuntu only do security updates you see [01:40] any of you guys could help me with a flash/java issue [01:40] SebNaitsabes: Ah so its catching up with the latest version. I see [01:40] molgrum: System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts, scroll down to Window Management-Activate Window Menu. Click on Alt-Space and hit Backspace. [01:40] firefox crashes when a flash video is loaded [01:40] Thoku: so the next version will have later versions. otherwise it's just security verisons. unless it's something like say Firefox [01:41] soundray: thanks :) [01:41] in php if i do exec(sudo shutdown -h now) [01:41] Thoku: Ubuntu only does security updates, unless it's a program like Firefox [01:41] will that shutdown the server [01:41] SebNaitsabes: Something really high profile. OK [01:42] nickz327: make sure you don't have conflicting plugins installed. Adobe Flash and gnash, for example. [01:42] ok [01:42] Thoku: Fedora Core for example is more cutting edge since it gets later packages rather soon after stable release [01:42] can someone help me run a program at startup [01:42] !boot | tmapj [01:42] tmapj: 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 [01:43] no soundray its not that simple [01:43] i am trying to use movie player to play a dvd movie "BoogeyMan2" and it says "Error occured: could not read from source" what might have happened? [01:43] is there a better program to use than movie player? [01:43] SebNaitsabes: I guess its finding the right balance between latest features and stability [01:43] have you got the codecs for that? [01:44] tmapj: go on then [01:44] When your in a gedit, and you can't save something because of root issues, how do i get past that [01:44] Thoku: also Ubuntu's repo is based on one of the Debian repos. so by the time the final is out, the repo is already behind with tons of packages [01:44] I'm also in root atm too [01:44] how do you use /etc/rc.local ? [01:44] SebNaitsabes, was the codecs question for me? [01:44] yes [01:44] SebNaitsabes, if so, i have no idea if i have the codecs or not. newbie here :D [01:45] !dvd [01:45] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [01:45] X_: you shouldn't be in root. As user, run 'gksudo filename' to edit "filename" with root privileges [01:45] SebNaitsabes: Ah I had presumed that just the kernel and lower level stuff like that came directly from debian. But I suppose it makes sense. [01:45] MP3 as well before you can play those you need to install the codec for that [01:46] what program would i use to open rar files? [01:46] !rar [01:46] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [01:46] tmapj: 'gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local', insert the command you want to run before the "exit" line [01:46] anyone know why clamav is required for an apt-get install dansguardian ? [01:46] just weird [01:46] Question, how come my Gnome-Trash Applet always displays full, yet there are no items inside. How can I fix this? [01:46] craigbass1976: ,because it might have a virus :d [01:46] stop... ;) [01:47] what's that program for anyway? [01:47] AaronMT: Did you delete files of a usb drive? [01:47] @Winston_SmithVT: No. [01:47] proxy type thing. Trying an easy way to keep my kid off porn sites [01:47] Is it possible to create a custom theme instead of modifying another? [01:48] strategy: it must be possible. Someone has created all those themes, after all [01:48] soundray, :p [01:48] AaronMT: I had the same problem, It was always full. Turns out if you delete files from a USB driver it writes the trash file to the USB drive [01:48] craigbass19676: there's a way I can't remember how, to block domain names in Firefox pretty easilly also, but your kid if they are clever can use ip address to get round [01:48] strategy: art.gnome.org has a tutorial === root__ is now known as ion- [01:48] thanks jrib [01:48] gparted wants me to create a label for a new disk... what labeltype do i pick? [01:48] @Winston_SmithVT: What was your method of resolve? [01:49] MTeck: default [01:49] jrib: msdos? [01:49] tmapj: was I making sense? [01:49] MTeck: yes [01:49] MTeck: yes [01:49] jrib: ty [01:49] AaronMT: I deleted the trash file off the U?SB drive, it was in a folder on the drive called .trash-1000 [01:49] what is the labeltype? [01:50] I downloaded a program called KDX from http://www.haxial.com/products/kdx/index2.html, and the application is KDXClient.lexe What do I need to open this file? [01:51] MTeck: it's the way the partitioning of the disk is organized. [01:51] craigbass19676, you can block domain names in firefox by putting them in your /etc/hosts, which is resolved first, and pointing the domain in question to localhost - i do this for doubleclick and a couple of ad sites and it works well. [01:52] ckyle: yeah I thought it was something like that, there is a site I might block myself :) since I don't like it poping up on me [01:52] for /etc/hosts, put in a line like this: 127.0.1.1 ad.doubleclick.net [01:52] ciao a tutti [01:52] !addon [01:52] ckyle: how does it work though? web server says to Firefox this is the site. system says no not going on that [01:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about addon [01:53] MTeck: MSDOS type is standard to the extent that no others play a role on PCs. Macs and Suns have different labeltypes. [01:53] goodnight [01:53] soundray: ty [01:53] Can I run applications designed for KDE in the Gnome environment? [01:53] yes [01:53] and you don't need the whole of Kubuntu installed either to do it [01:54] kulawend: yes [01:54] hello server French [01:54] im removing firefox but i get an error saying i need to use the synaptic program manager??? [01:54] plz [01:54] ion-: ./KDXClient.lexe [01:54] !fr | mourad [01:54] mourad: 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 [01:54] !fr | mourad [01:54] nevermind got it [01:54] SebNaitsabes, your box will resolve /etc/hosts before using DNS - if it's in /etc/hosts, then it doesn't use DNS. [01:54] hey guys, i need some help with my audio, I believe it is an Intel ICH9 family soundcard, I have a stuttering/looping problem, is anyone experienced with that? [01:55] Can there be any compatibility issues running KDE software in Gnome? [01:55] no [01:55] ahoy. anyone had issues booting amd_64 version of gutsy on a santa rosa macbook? [01:55] kulawend: You can run kde apps in gnome [01:56] ckyle: so website says to Firefox I want to go on this, Firefox looks at /etc/hosts that website is not alloweed. and blocks the website before the browser would have otherwise connected to the DNS for the site? [01:56] * ph0rensic makes way for the CPT. Captain Jack Sparrow [01:56] usb or shared folders doesn't work, is there any other way for me to access my files in my xVM? [01:56] hello [01:56] hi........... [01:56] ok guys i updated firefox from ub7 to ub8 and its not the same [01:56] thirdy: which version of Virtualbox? [01:56] I have LG xnote e300 laptop. and the laptop's keyboard doesn't work in linux but only in grub. [01:56] the drop down of the address bar is different [01:56] Any ideas why in hardy heron 64, USB/SD copy speeds might vary wildly between 2MB/s and 200KB/s, sometimes dwindling off to nothing? This happens with almost every USB stick or SD card I've tried. [01:57] doojin: can you get into the BIOS setup? [01:57] anyone? [01:57] clint_: updated to firefox 3 from firefox 2? [01:57] I have LG xnote e300 laptop. and the laptop's keyboard doesn't work in linux but only in grub. My usb keyboard works fine in linux. how can I enable laptop keyboard in ubuntu? [01:57] Mole, what is the source your are copying from [01:57] SebNaitsabes, it basically repoints the domain to a non-existent web server, so the web site doesn't show. It doesn't say anything like web-site blocked, or anything like that. [01:57] soundray : yes i can [01:57] is that the difference? [01:57] how do i go about doing that? [01:57] clint_: ff3 has a lot more detail in the drop down.. [01:57] ckyle: so the Internet connection never even connects to that website? [01:57] SebNaitsabes, I have the latest? Using hardy [01:57] yea leme check the verz [01:57] soundray : do you have a solution? [01:57] doojin: is there an option that's called something like "USB legacy mode"? [01:57] thirdy: did you get it from the repo? [01:57] Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072820 Firefox/3.0.1 [01:58] SebNaitsabes - correct. [01:58] soundray : I am not sure [01:58] rgr [01:58] soundray : what is that? [01:58] clint_: *thumbs up* [01:58] idk if i like that tho [01:58] =\ [01:58] anyone want to help me? [01:58] i like the other drop down [01:58] thirdy: the one from Ubuntu network is the OSE and does not have support for USB [01:58] SebNaitsabes, yeah I got it using apt-get [01:58] but i can live with it [01:58] using konq anyway now [01:58] clint_: i think you can still install ff2 but meh, ff3 is more up to date like [01:58] clint_: oooh, integrated :D [01:58] doojin: it makes the BIOS present the input devices to the operating system in a slightly different fashion. Toggling that option may help. [01:59] SebNaitsabes, ok so I'll remove then install the working one? [01:59] thirdy: you need to go to http://www.virtualbox.org and get the other one. and set things up like USB if it won't just work that can be a little difficult. the virtualbox manual is good and there is #vbox [01:59] http://www.virtualbox.org :) [01:59] soundray : my laptop keyboard is connected to ACPI. would it work with usb? [01:59] connected to acpi? [01:59] yes [01:59] doojin: no, it isn't. ACPI is something else. [02:00] soundray : Is my laptop keyboard a usb keyboard? [02:00] SebNaitsabes, I downloaded VMware-player, installing was very friendly, is it the best virtualization? [02:00] built in laptop keyboards are normally usb or ps2 [02:00] ckyle: sounds good. that annoying popup can go bye bye then [02:00] doojin: yes, if it's like 99.9% of all laptops produced in the last 3 years [02:00] which file system is best for a usb drive that will work on both linux and windows? [02:00] ahoy. anyone had issues booting amd_64 version of gutsy on a santa rosa macbook? [02:00] thirdy: oh VMware player LOL. vmware player is far from the best. Virtualbox is the best probably :) [02:00] soundray : ok [02:00] I try now [02:00] X_, depends on the filessizes. ntfs is fine in most cases these days. [02:01] how do i know im in my root dir? im showing "clint@clint:~$ [02:01] dr_willis: does that work on both systems? [02:01] clint_, ~ is a shortcut name for the 'home' directory. [02:01] X_: I've replied to your questions twice, and never knew whether what I was saying helped or not. [02:01] SebNaitsabes, I wish I never heard xVM, damn, [02:01] thirdy: VMware player needs an annoying config file. and with that you could set up USB and stuff. there is a site for making, but that's just annoying. Virtualbox can even run VMware virtual machines without needing their stupid vmx file [02:01] X_, yes - linux can read/write ntfs. and windows can read/write ext2/3 now a days also with the right tools. [02:01] amazing, dell tech support aint got shit on you guys and gals [02:01] :) [02:01] jk [02:01] dell rocks [02:01] clint_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:02] soundray: dr_willis: Sounds good, and yes soundray your answers helped solve my problem, ty [02:03] thirdy: if you have already made VMware virtualmachines you can use them in Virtualbox [02:03] i could some onw tell me if i can compleatly shut down my buit in wifi from the command line [02:03] SebNaitsabes, but VMware can't run vdi right? [02:03] can someone suggest some good toilet literature on linux... [02:03] clint_: ~ means home which is your "root" if you like, but technically root is / [02:03] clint_: laptop? :P [02:03] thirdy: as far as I know it cannot run vdi [02:03] no i want a book [02:03] with paper and words [02:03] thirdy: VMware player sucks big time compared to Virtualbox also [02:03] I currently run Gutsy (because my NICs don't work in Heron). What is the best webcam that is well supported in GG? [02:03] some pictures [02:04] clint_: "Just for Fun" by L. Torvalds [02:04] clint_: don't know any myself, sorry [02:04] i agree viryalbox is very good [02:04] virtualbox [02:04] SebNaitsabes, why? does not support hardware well? like usb? [02:04] darren_: didn't I help you out with that? recentlly [02:04] thirdy: the open source version that you can get from apt-get does not suppourt USB, but the other version does [02:05] http://www.amazon.com/Official-Ubuntu-Book-Benjamin-Mako/dp/0137136684/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221181444&sr=8-2 [02:05] booya [02:05] rungetty is not giving me autologin - is /etc/inittab still recognized if created? [02:05] SebNaitsabes: still does not show signel strength im going crazy with this [02:05] darren_: oh you were the one I tried to help I see [02:05] SebNaitsabes, sorry I remember I installed it using virtualbox-2.0_2.0.0-36011_Ubuntu_hardy_i386.deb [02:05] SebNaitsabes: yes going nits here [02:05] nuts [02:05] darren_: maybe you should buy another adapter? [02:06] thirdy: and downloaded from virtualbox.org ? [02:06] hey does anyone know how to connect PS3 to UBUNTU over the LAN network [02:07] Sapph, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [02:07] !LAN [02:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about lan [02:07] nandemonai: Thanks, muchly [02:07] Sapph, No worries. [02:08] has anyone installed Yellow Dog on PS3 [02:08] SebNaitsabes, no I never wen't there, I got it from Sun [02:08] thirdy: hummmm sounds like you got the right version [02:08] thirdy: have you got a VM in it? [02:08] SebNaitsabes: i have tryed 3 diffrent adapters none show signel and i have tryed the 3 in my girlfinds laptop and my desktop pc with the same drivers and same ubuntu and works on them just not my laptop, its strange because my buit in one works no problem [02:08] use the built in one then? [02:09] if i want to use lirc then do i have to somehow map my device /dev/usb/hiddev1 to /dev/lirc0 , what does irw read by default ? [02:09] thirdy: if you open the settings of a VM you can set things up like USB [02:09] SebNaitsabes: it does not pick up signel very well [02:09] SebNaitsabes, yeah I have a 4gb vdi with WinXP installed, and it won't grow [02:09] thirdy: you want it to grow? [02:10] SebNaitsabes, yeah I choosed the "dynamically resize" option [02:10] thirdy: that's 4GB of your psyical hard disk space being taken up by a VM. would have been better if you had gone dynamically expanding [02:10] SebNaitsabes, I followed this tutorial http://hi.baidu.com/slong42/blog/item/f1638c54bec8df193b29357c.html [02:10] thirdy: 4GB is very small yes even for dynamically expanding option [02:10] thirdy: however the virtual machine itself probably take up hardly any space on your hard disk [02:11] SebNaitsabes, yeah I choosed dynamically expanding but now xp won't stop complaining about Low Disk Space [02:11] thirdy: with a dynamically expanding VM you could put 2TB if you really wanted to, even if your host as in Ubuntu partition is not 2TB. [02:11] hi [02:11] I chekced usb legacy support and it was enabled [02:11] It's not usb maybe [02:12] thirdy: I would say for XP VM, put expanding and 100GB as the size. even if the partition it's in is no where near that size, because the VM size and the amount it actsaully takes up is not the same [02:12] thirdy: you can see that for your self [02:12] thirdy: the VM you got there is probably much less than 4GB [02:12] SebNaitsabes, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-virtualbox-16-in-ubuntu-804hardy-heron-including-usb-support.html [02:12] that's what I followed [02:13] thirdy: yes I think that's the one I used [02:13] usb won't still work [02:13] thirdy: I got USB working in the end :) [02:13] thirdy: it was a little hard to get working at first [02:13] thirdy: ,but that's one thing you got a stupid sized dynamically expanding VM === favafro is now known as favro [02:13] soundf_ : are you soundry? [02:14] thirdy: Windows thinks you only got 4GB. and what you have said is this VM cannot ever expand to any bigger than 4GB. [02:14] thirdy: have you ever been in .virtualbox? and is it a clean install of XP? [02:15] SebNaitsabes, ? [02:15] thirdy: do you know about the dot (.) folders in HOme? [02:15] SebNaitsabes, yeah, but I've never been there [02:15] thirdy: well your about to find out why you got a stupidly sized VM :) if you do as I say [02:16] SebNaitsabes, creating a new Virtual Machine won't do the trick, I really need to get my files from my XP vdi [02:16] thirdy: yes that can be done [02:16] thirdy: so what's why you wanted USB? [02:16] SebNaitsabes, yeah [02:17] SebNaitsabes, I'm thiking about vpn [02:17] thirdy: vdi's can acstaully be resized, but it seems that's not so easy, and it's not worth it, XP instaleld really fast right in Virtualbox? [02:17] What is the correct course of action to request a newer version of a package, or even better what is the process for me to just package it myself and get it included [02:17] thirdy: I am thinking do a shared folder with your host Ubuntu [02:17] hi [02:17] is any one here ? [02:18] SebNaitsabes, yeah but when I paste from xp, it will show the blue screen with error msgs [02:18] lol [02:18] thirdy: uhmmmmmmm ok [02:18] Im trying to segment my HD into 5 partitions with gparted, and was wondering what the best approach is [02:18] thirdy: so you tried shared folder? [02:18] SebNaitsabes, yeah [02:18] X_ when you get into 5 you have to go logical i think [02:19] thirdy: ok well get your USB working ? the Virtualbox manual is good you can get form website [02:19] hi... why when I put a launcher with a custom svg icon and stretch it, the icon looks like if it was not scalable? [02:19] thirdy: it explains everything that can be done with Virtualbox [02:19] AliTabuger7: How about 4, its a 500g HD [02:19] thirdy: also I would suggest going here now #vbox [02:19] thirdy: considering that people in there, will know more about Virutalbox then I do [02:19] so new ubuntu user here ...mainly trying to make ubuntu look like OSX from the post on maketecheasier...just having trouble with avant window navigator ...was hoping some one could help [02:20] lecapitan: why make it look like OS X? [02:20] Is there a separate channel to discuss ibex matters, or is this the right place? [02:20] lecapitan: and KXdocker is meant to be better than avant [02:21] what is the launch date for 8.10? [02:21] f4hy: yes #ubuntu+1 [02:21] SebNaitsabes, thanks [02:21] hp: end of October [02:21] sebnaitsabes...well i wanted an excuse to swithc to linux from windows every one said ubuntu and i was like okay and while looking at stuff i found this post on lifehacker and i was like i oh i have to do that [02:21] Does anyone know if there is a way that I can have the users list show all the time in XChat-Gnome? [02:21] http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,421043,00.html [02:21] * IndyGunFreak apologizes, wrong channel [02:22] lecapitan: which post? [02:22] S3 is it okay to post URL's in here ? [02:22] lecapitan: lol making it look like OS X isnn't a good excuse. a proper excuse would be Beryl or Compiz :) Youtube those if you don't know what they are [02:22] lecapitan: and yes you will have to have on a hard disk for real for that [02:22] lecapitan: no idea, I'm newer than you! [02:22] no virtual machine [02:22] http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-ubuntu-hardy-to-mac-osx-leopard/2008/07/23 [02:22] yes I know ...i formated my computer :) [02:22] X_ I forgot what the limit is off the top of my head, but there is some kind of issue when you reach a certain number of partitions. So you get around it by creating an Extended partition, which can have multiple partitions inside of it. [02:22] lecapitan: there are also some Mac like distros already [02:22] this is a fresh insall [02:23] i know but i wanted to stick with ubuntu since every one says its the best linux disto [02:23] lecapitan: how new to Ubuntu? [02:23] lecapitan: there are ways to make it look like OS X I have done so before [02:23] lecapitan: ,but you can make Ubuntu look nicer than OS X :) [02:23] Hey guys, i'm having problems with the installer. on both of my computers, the language menu pops up. On my desktop, the keyboard seems frozen and i can't get out of it.Problem is, the alternate cd does NOT have a count down to the installer as the normal cd does, so i'm essentially stuck there ... [02:23] umm days ....with linux (i used mandriva/mandrake before) [02:23] what can i do ? [02:24] You could make Ubuntu Look like a C64 also.. [02:24] lecapitan: lol! [02:24] i guess i make people laugh alot [02:24] lecapitan: heh it's ok [02:24] lecapitan: I think a lot of us went through the [02:24] AliTabuger7: Basically what im trying to do is be able to have my main distro Ubuntu, then a permanent secondary distro, and enough room left over to test others on [02:25] lecapitan: let's make Ubuntu look like Mac OS X stage [02:25] lecapitan: I'd like to know if you're able to get it all working, that's pretty cool looking [02:25] its an old p4 1.8 ghz with 1 gig of ram ...it was either go buy a new PC or switch ... Idecided to switch [02:25] * S3 wonders if Synergy will work on a Macbook Air [02:25] !mac [02:25] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [02:25] i got it all to work except the stupid little doc [02:25] is there a way to remove the language menu from the installer? or make it so it does NOT pop up by default? [02:26] lecapitan: http://mac4lin.sf.net [02:26] I think that's the link anwyay [02:26] lepine, ive noticed its a little over zelous at poping up. if you hit escape - it goes away. Back to the menu underneeth [02:26] lepine, this is on the alterive installer cd. Not sure about the desktop installer. [02:26] dr_willis ... thats my problem! on my desktop, my keyboard seems frozen during the menu. [02:27] X_ is there nothing on that disk already? if thats the case it really wouldn't hurt to try a few configurations. [02:27] lepine, Alt- installer cd? Thats odd... [02:27] your mac4lin link does not work [02:27] the normal install cd eventually hits a timeout and boot ... but the alt cd does not have this time out. hence blockage. [02:27] i tried removing some hw, changed keyboards ... nothing. [02:27] AliTabuger7: Ubuntu hardy, is, on the system, thats why im wadding into this so I dont end up loosing what i've got so far [02:27] hello i have just installed ubuntu on a lappy and am having trouble mounting a partition can someone give me a hand?

Got a PS2 keyboard? try one if you can. [02:29] lepine, i got one box. I cant do anything in grub with a USB keyboard. Gotta keep a PS2 handy for it. [02:29] dr_willis ... damn Dell ... no more PS2! [02:30] !mount > mortuis99 [02:30] mortuis99, please see my private message [02:30] lepine, if the bios stuff has the right menus. theres often a 'legacy usb' option in the menus. [02:30] X_ If I were you i would be very careful if you have to modify your ubuntu partition. If you already have the space, there shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't do anything with the ubuntu partition and it remains the first partition on the disk. If ubuntu is taking up the whole disk, you will need a Linux live cd with gparted on it [02:30] lepine, ,may want to try those [02:30] * lepine watches his desktop liberation plans wither and die ... [02:30] dr_willis: trying so now. [02:31] lepine, on my one machine. enabling that option made both os's (linux an windows) not boot. :( so rember where it is so you can change it back if needed [02:31] AliTabuger7: my next question is, will i get the dual boot option, and i can transfer files from distro to distro if their on the HD right? === steven_ is now known as StevenX [02:31] X_: if you want to try different distros the easiest way is to have one host OS Ubuntu or another Linux and do the otheres in virtual machines [02:32] dr_willis, note taken. === Guest51834 is now known as AbtZ [02:32] SebNaitsabes, I think hamachi will save me === neo2 is now known as BlackSabath [02:32] test [02:32] Hello. I have extracted the audio track from a .mkv file using mkvextract, but I'm not sure what kind of file it is. I want to convert it into an mp3, but I'm not sure what it is. [02:32] How do I copy a file on a PC I have SSH access to, to my computer? [02:32] hey guys! [02:32] nice BlackSabath [02:32] Peace [02:32] thirdy: I don't know what that is, but hopefuly [02:32] im using [02:32] is there a way to check the partitions in command line? [02:32] Weechat rules [02:33] dr_willis ... no go ... any last ideas? [02:33] Yamakiri: your PC to what PC? [02:33] mortuis99: I think its the fdisk command??? [02:33] I have a process that's been running on my terminal (shh'd onto another computer) for 48 hours. i was stupid and so I forgot to run it in a screen (so i've left my computer on). Is there any way to add the process to a screen or connect to the tty from within screen so I can turn my computer off? [02:33] Yamakiri: both yours? [02:33] X_ I'm no longer sure I understand what you are trying to do. I can answer that most of the time a boot option will not automatically appear in the existing grub if you are installing another OS after ubuntu. However, grub is extremely easy to configure. I don't know what distro's you wish to use, nor what you wish to transfer. [02:33] SebNaitsabes: no, one belongs to a friend of mine [02:33] lepine, not really.

The fellows in ##linux said scp /path/to/localfile username-remote@remote-box-adress:/path/remote/ would work [02:38] is there any program for linux to imitate activeX? [02:38] ASrock: LOL of course not [02:38] What package/suite lets me build a custom debian/Ubutnu installer? (sorta like making my own LiveCD or PXE image)? [02:39] ASrock: Firefox etc wont' even suppourt Activex [02:39] is ubuntu like fedora? [02:39] Tapout, I run a website, and I've found that nautilus now that it uses gvfs as its backend is superior to the majority of ftp programs for simple uploading because of its drag and drop support as well as it's very familiar interface [02:39] lelelele: in certian ways yes [02:39] well firefox for windows supports active x [02:39] no it does not? [02:39] maybe if you got some extension [02:39] yes it does [02:39] ,but otherwise no [02:39] but why ubuntu there is no in google open source project list? or ubuntu has another name? [02:40] ASrock: I don't know anything about it, but looks like http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozilla.htm is relevant [02:40] dude i use activex in windows firefox all the time [02:40] http://code.google.com/soc/2008/ [02:40] lelelele: launchpad.net [02:40] Any ideas on how i could maybe disable my touch pad mouse when my wireless mouse gets connected up ? [02:40] ASrock: then you suck :D heh more seriosully though, how do you do it? [02:40] is freespire brought by ubunt [02:40] u [02:40] ASrock: ok, /me is rarely in windows [02:40] Xandros bought Linspire [02:40] which owns Freespire [02:40] nop. [02:40] SebNaitsabes: idk it just works [02:41] which was using ubuntu as a base? then it stopped.. dident it? i gave up on following all the ubuntu variants. === greg_ is now known as Winston_SmithVT [02:41] Yes Freespire was using Ubuntu as a base, but now it's going to use Debain again, or whatever that article I read said [02:41] SebNaitsabes, some people cant make up their minds.. :) [02:42] ASSISTANCE PLZ: Any ideas on how i could disable my laptop touch pad mouse when my wireless mouse gets connected ? [02:42] ASrock: no Firefox etc do nto suppourt Activex [02:42] this is running in my head .. iam a information systems major and i have 4 months of free time w/no school and i was wondering couldi get linux certified or something that could lead me to an intersnshiop that would help my information systems major ? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:42] i have freespire [02:42] ASrock: if yours does though, mabye you got some clever maliciosu program on there [02:42] w/e [02:42] malicious program [02:43] but on another note, my wireless disconnects after downloading torrents for a little bit, would this be an issue with my wireless card or my router [02:43] thank you guys btw [02:43] dan_, thats somthing ive never seen done. there are 'touchpad' config tools that can disable the touchpad I belive, on the fly. That would be a start. then you would have to figure out how to make udev (i think) see/run the right command when the mouse is plugged in, and then again when its removed [02:43] i have no idea why http://code.google.com/soc/2008/ there is no ubuntu. there is drupa, mozilla, gimp, etc etc 170projects of open source. fedora etc. but ubuntu looks like bigger community why there isnt on google list? [02:43] ASrock: native Linux drivers or ndiswrapper? [02:44] um, whats ndiswrapper? [02:44] way for making WIndows wireless drivers work with Linux [02:44] program for that [02:44] dr_willis: hmmm !! [02:44] lelelele: those are mentoring organizations for SoC, not just open source projects in general [02:44] sweetness i will try that [02:44] however [02:45] it's best to use native Linux drivers uusualley [02:45] if you can [02:45] dan_, i always make sure mylaptops have a button to turn off the touchpad. :) [02:45] but ya im using just w/e ubuntu came with for drivers [02:45] dr_willis: :-D hehe bit late now :-D [02:45] ASrock: well look up your device and see if it has native wireless drivers? [02:45] Linux ones [02:45] because im thinking about getting a new motherboard and if its my wireless card then i will get a new one now but if it is my router i will just buy a router for now [02:45] if not, well ndiswrapepr could be a try, or maybe it's that you don't have an open port for torrents [02:46] i have a question [02:46] i reinstalled my macromedia flash plugin for firefox [02:46] now youtube has no audio [02:46] ok [02:46] any suggestions? [02:46] haev you got audio else where? [02:46] yes [02:46] jrib well but python etc are mentoring organizations and still open source projects in general ;D it means ubuntu doesnt have mentor organization status on Google so how it widespreads so good?

[02:48] lelelele: this isn't really a support question and I have no idea how SoC works [02:48] I heard pulseaudio issues will be fixed for next Ubuntu 0dd-rationale [02:48] I have a question.. Is it possible to chroot and install say, the nvidia-glx-new package while on the livecd? [02:48] chroot to installed system that is [02:48] and after killall pulseaudio [02:49] do it again and it should say no procces killed. and close Firefox. and re open Firefox go to Youtube and try your video [02:49] jrib ok then. i was just curious about all this unix versionilazation questions, anyway i dont care and best luck :) [02:49] * lelelele is windows user :) [02:49] jp, are you looking to install drivers on a live CD session?

[02:55] why dont i hear anything from youtube? haha [02:55] wers, are your speakers on? [02:55] lol [02:55] i'm trying to figure out why an entry in my menu works differently depending on if i copy-paste it to the terminal or if i click it via the GUI... the launcher does this: env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe" -window [02:55] ant2ne, yeah. just youtube [02:55] welp I'm off to take a walk [02:56] see yas [02:56] youtube has max volume too [02:56] specifically, via the GUI it fails to start the application in windowed mode, in CLI it starts it in windowed mode sucessfully [02:56] molgrum: what do you notice that is different? [02:57] it is the "-window" that i added myself [02:57] it does nothing in the menu launcher, only in CLI [02:58] molgrum: the easiest way around this is to just create a shell script and point the launcher to that rather than trying to see if there is a way to do it directly in the launcher [02:58] I've got a geforce fx5500 installed and I ubuntu keeps bumping my resolutioj back down to 640x480.

My developer went home for the day so maybe in the morning it'll "magically" be working for him :) [03:32] strategy, i dont have one i have a hda nvidia in the list. [03:32] and none work. [03:32] Hello, everyone. [03:32] Orchid`, uh.. nvidia makes graphics cards [03:32] Orchid`, wait you have 'nvidia' in that list? [03:32] start yes i know which is odd why it is in the sound device listing [03:32] strategy, yes. [03:32] <`Matir> rellis, lol, hopefully [03:32] in the file -> change device list?

[03:34] I need to build a liveCD image to serve over the network to clients... with the right tools <-- what tool? [03:35] DCPomeroy: doubt it - they'd pop open as a separate app, from your browser;s menu "what should I open this file with" [03:35] so anytime you click a .PDF, in say Firefox, it would say a) save file b) open it with evince ? [03:35] karlNY, i wanted adobe for the browser window, i have document viewer [03:36] Has anyone tried Dropbox? Does it work well?

[03:57] all the sounds, if they play at all that is [03:57] bummer [03:57] the only sound that isn't playing are in banshee [03:57] you are using 64bit? [03:57] no [03:57] <`Matir> starn, there are only a handful of viruses ever written for linux and they saw almost no circulation [03:57] <`Matir> starn, that being said there's clamav and avast, among others [03:57] mohadib: problem occurs in both 64bit and 32bit [03:57] in hardy as well as intrepid [03:58] right now i installed hardy 32bit, i thought it might be a 64bit issue [03:58] Help!

[03:59] <`Matir> starn, you should be fine... I've been using linux for a decade and never seen a virus... be aware if you run a windows app in wine, it can do most anything it could under windows, but that's a separate issue [04:00] <`Matir> starn, yep, so long as you have that partition mounted [04:00] <`Matir> starn, clamav is used on a lot of mail servers to scan for e-mail bound viruses [04:00] hey guys [04:01] anyone have an idea why my banshee music player won't play songs [04:01] could it be a plugin issue? [04:01] Matir, thank you. [04:01] What Format is your music in?

[04:04] Matir, how i normally think but a lot of people i've talked to. to get support for windows well go you noob i am leet type crap. but yea... hey i was wondering if there is a better irc cleint for ubuntu or is xchat the best choice? [04:05] irssi is good [04:05] supports ssl [04:05] hmm I'm lost is Rhythmbox able to play them? [04:05] mohadib: http://rafb.net/p/flHs7v68.html [04:05] <`Matir> starn, I use xchat personally... *shrug* [04:05] yep [04:05] Matir, it is what i am using right now and for windows heh [04:05] Then I would say it isn't a codec problem [04:06] nvm [04:06] rhythmbox can't [04:06] <`Matir> starn, ah, I always though mIRC was the gold standard for windows [04:06] probably a codec problem [04:06] what codecs should i check/install [04:06] lame is used to play mp3 [04:07] erm...lame is an mp3 encoder, not player. [04:07] lame as in "lame ain't an mp3 encoder" [04:07] the name 'lame ain't an mp3 encoder' [04:07] Matir, i did to.. but i would rather code in python than mirc's code... === richard is now known as Guest2187 [04:08] comes from the days when lame was just a patch to the reference code/program [04:08] i m editing my vigr right now, how to do it ? [04:08] Yea that one [04:08] Matir, speaking of which i need to find the IDE i used before i had to reinstall.... [04:08] has anyone tried to use KDE office with ubuntu? [04:08] it wont edit like a regular test ! [04:09] <`Matir> starn, ah, I'm just getting into python... looking for a good IDE myself... looked at IDLE, but it seems unimpressive... considering python bindings for eclipse [04:09] text * [04:09] remu: whats does lsmod | grep snd report? [04:09] mohadib: sorry, my system just finished doing an update and told me i had to restart, problems still there [04:10] can anyone help me with editing vigr ? [04:10] mudit: whats to know? [04:10] mohadib: http://rafb.net/p/sIwpSb54.html [04:10] Matir, if ya find one leme know going to do some searchs right now... but i also been trying to learn perl and ruby... wanna use muliplatform lanuage. [04:11] remu: how about lspci | grep audio [04:11] well i did 'sudo vigr', and started editing, but it wont edit like normal text [04:12] you know how to use vi mudit ? [04:12] mohadib: that command gives me no output [04:12] alright [04:12] i got my audio on banshee working [04:12] I just installed a second drive to my computer, the master drive is linux, the second drive is xp pro. Anyone know how I can choose a drive at bootup? [04:12] but i guess i accidentally messed something up, cause now i cant get sound on youtube [04:12] nope [04:12] so that means no flash audio [04:12] is it some text editor ? [04:13] for simple stuff, pype and drpython are better than idle, then there is Eric and boaconstructor for a serious python IDE [04:13] mudit: yes, you can set what editor vigp and vipw etc uses [04:13] you can use something more simple like nano [04:13] hmm [04:13] ok [04:13] or you can just choose not to use vigp at all and use other menas [04:13] I had that problem with 9, but putting the latest version of 10 on did take care of that. [04:13] means [04:13] wat codec would stop flash from playing sound? === Orchid` is now known as Orc-COD4 [04:13] but when I do 'sudo gedit vigr', it wont show me anything [04:14] thats not exactly right [04:14] what are you trying to do exactly? [04:14] hello [04:14] i m trying to open vigr in gedit [04:14] Just do a google of Flash 10 ubuntu and install the latest version. That should help with some of the flash stuff [04:14] mudit: no, i mean why do you want to run vigr? [04:15] Flash? Adobe flash? [04:15] i m setting a svn server on my machine [04:15] flash [04:15] Hello, I am running kubuntu 710, and seem to be having problems with HAL. Can anybody help me? [04:15] you need to add it to a given group mudit ? [04:15] i have the macromedia firefox plugin i think [04:15] I have a problem with suspend on a computer. It succesfully suspends and resumes, the only problem is that it won't start the monitor. I know the rest of the computer starts correctly because I'm able to ssh in. [04:15] Yes sorry the adobe flash [04:15] yes [04:15] mudit: just use nano : nano /etc/group [04:15] I think too [04:15] nope, shockwave flash [04:15] its easier to use [04:15] so i need adobe flash? [04:16] npps: I've seen documents indicating what needs to be done. Sorry, it seems to be a black art that depends greatly upon what system board you have. [04:16] is there any method to make on a secondary DNS to have the zone - when a new zone is created on primary DNS (? ex: s1 has domain.tld -> make domain.tld as slave on s2) [04:16] flash can play, flash works [04:16] npps: do a google search, there are a few on the ubuntu forums [04:16] ok, and i think I messed up my vigr, should I type ':q', the changes wont be saved ? [04:16] it just doesn't output audio [04:16] http://markusthielmann.com/blog/flash_10_beta_ubuntu_hardy [04:17] mudit: :q! [04:17] would installing adobe flash fix that [04:17] wont save any changes [04:17] That has a how to as well on installing it [04:17] you mean ':q!' ? [04:17] yes [04:17] mohadib: when I go to system>Pref>Sound and hit "Test" on sound playback, I get this error message, dunno if that will make a difference or not [04:17] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. [04:17] thanks [04:17] anybody, HAL getting seems to be getting stuck on non existant /dev/sdd [04:18] remu: hmm , no clue mate [04:18] I am using ubuntu as a firewall/gateway for my home network. It's set to use one interface as dhcp from my ISP, I want it to pull an IP, but use my own custom DNS. Everytime I reboot, it replaces my info with ISPs info. How can I force /etc/resolv.conf to stay to what I make it? [04:18] mohadib: did you have to do anything special to get your setup working? [04:18] I have a problem with suspend on a computer. It succesfully suspends and resumes, the only problem is that it won't start the monitor. I know the rest of the computer starts correctly because I'm able to ssh in. [04:18] no, i looked again though, i have a ich5 card [04:19] it seems to be more supported :s [04:19] Sweet-P: look at dhclient.conf [04:19] mohadib: lol, yea, the ICH9 is whats causing problems [04:19] Sweet-P: you need to edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and add something like "prepend domain-name-servers first-ip,second-ip,third-ip,...;" [04:21] I did that, and it worked for that part, but it's still adding the ISPs info. I'm changing the "request" line and removing anything DNS related...br [04:21] brb [04:22] that worked! [04:22] thanks all [04:23] linux on first drive and xp on the second drive, how can i use both drives? My computer boots up Ubuntu and sees the xp drive as a mounted device? [04:25] droopsta915: can you not write to it? [04:25] whats the problem?

I'll have to see if I can find a blank cd. [04:39] Seven_Six_Two 32bit is suggested especially for new users. If you have and need more more than 4 gig then you would need 64 or the server kernel [04:39] Who knows the best printer for Ubuntu [04:39] cool: any hp laser jet [04:39] most brother and kyoceras work too [04:39] Thanks [04:39] np [04:39] cool browse our supported hardware page [04:40] is it faster to run a OS on 64-bit instead on 32-bit ? [04:40] cool my hp laser is great.. [04:40] diguinho: it can be, but not always [04:40] diguinho not by much and not worth the extra effort and issues [04:40] I'm not a new user, but my friend is. I think I'll take your advice Jack_Sparrow. I just thought it would be better since he's got a 64 bit sys. My buddy uses 64bit hardy. He only has occasional probs. Mostly with flash [04:40] I see [04:40] Guys I will be right back [04:40] diguinho: but you can address a lot more ram [04:40] this can make a hug differience in performace [04:40] Seven_Six_Two flash and drivers.. that whole chroot thing..

It works ok now. [04:41] aye [04:41] diguinho: buy more ram :s [04:41] its pretty cheap now days [04:41] Jack_Sparrow thanks again.

[05:11] mohadib, do you know what that option does though? besides make my audio work? [05:11] no what's that [05:12] i am trying to watch a dvd in gxine, and it is very frustrating. The movie is running fine, but i'm getting these horizontal bars all over the place. what is it? [05:12] i had the same thing too aeron, i just stopped watching movies. hope that helps [05:12] brolly81, the next release of ubuntu [05:12] remu: i dont know [05:13] lol, alrighty [05:13] Hi [05:13] i have used noacpi option [05:13] but not the pci=acpi [05:13] brolly81, that's the Windows user solution to things, I'm not buying it ;) [05:13] Is there a channel for complete linux newbies? [05:13] LordAnubis: lol [05:13] this is it [05:13] what's the current stability like with alpha5 ? [05:13] does anyone know if there is a linux webcam support channel?

[05:14] Hello I have a question I am having problems with a partition on my harddrive mounting [05:14] I tried forever trying to use MS Virtual PC, but i couldn't for hte life of me get ubuntu working on that, so I gave up. [05:15] How does one install a file on Ubuntu? [05:15] brock081, apparently it's an interlace issue [05:15] everytime I reboot my machine I have to manually mount this vfat partition [05:15] ok, I was just reading in the BIND configuration that you can escape the $ character when using GENERATE. What possible reason would cause someone to want to escape the $ ?? It's not valid in domain names afaik...I'm confused I suppose [05:15] how do i update ubuntu [05:15] mohadib, i used pci=noacpi [05:15] aye, thats what i ment to type :s [05:15] LordAnubis: everything in ubuntu is organised into central repositories so you basically go to add remove program and select the app you want [05:15] lol, cool [05:16] mohadib, again, thanks for the help, im gonna go install ubuntu amd64 now [05:16] nice, i use amd64 lunix at work [05:16] its rally nice === zerocxis is now known as Zerocxis [05:16] pepperjack, i'm trying to install VMWare Tools. [05:18] hey can someone tell me how to add a new server with xchat? [05:18] LordAnubis: vmware shoudl have mounted a vmware tools cd in ubuntu [05:18] Yes. [05:19] I open hte tar.gz file [05:19] I extracted to desktop [05:19] open a terminal [05:19] navigate to that folder [05:19] Hey I go the microsft media center remote control, doesnt seem to be working in ubuntu though [05:20] LordAnubis:and there's a perl script named something along the lines of vmware-install.pl [05:20] Yeah [05:20] does anyone know why virtualbox is asking me for a floppy disk to install windows 2000, even though i have floppy disabled? [05:20] heh [05:20] i have the newest version...and this is really starting to frustrate me [05:20] ajhtiredwolf: might /join #mythtv-users they prob have some exp with such things or check ubuntuforums [05:20] why not use vmware server RonzO ? [05:20] you run the perl script one of two ways, you'll need to use sudo to do it === citizen42alpha is now known as DEURYTE_ [05:21] sudo ./vmware-install.pl [05:21] i just did a system update and my volume thing, thing still is not working [05:21] mohadib, someone about 10 minutes ago said to use virtualbox [05:21] So what's sudo? [05:21] !sudo | LordAnubis [05:21] LordAnubis: 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) [05:21] anyone have any info on the volume thing thing on the panel [05:21] it gives you root privileges for a single command [05:21] RonzO: vmware server is free, and its been in the virtulization game way longer than most companies [05:22] mohadib, *sighs* i hate playing this bouncing back and forth game, lol [05:22] it has a large channel here on freenode and kick arse forums [05:22] ty mohadib [05:22] np [05:22] RonzO: alas it is also evil but you pick your battles [05:22] RonzO: /j #vmware [05:22] brolly81: Could you be a little more specific, please? [05:22] what do you do to finish the command [05:22] if it is long [05:22] and you dont want to type it out [05:22] i forget [05:22] kudar: tab key for completion [05:22] thanks! [05:23] mohadib, i have no idea why canonical went away from vmware [05:23] i was unaware they had embraced any virtulization software [05:23] when playing music, i tried to use the volume adjustment on my panel to lower the music and it does not adjust volume and what no [05:23] t [05:23] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131339 what do you guys think of that motherboard (are its chipsets and such nice to ubuntu?) [05:23] i have always just downloaded vmware [05:24] What does vmware do that virtualbox doesn't? [05:24] does virtual box have a robust scripting interface [05:24] Zerocxis: it works [05:24] can it run all guest swap in ram [05:24] ooo nice [05:24] i could never get virtualbox to work [05:24] I might have to switch then [05:25] vmware server is nice [05:25] hell, I thought it was worthwhile to by workstation. [05:25] anyone running 2.6.27? [05:25] whats the best virtulization software out? [05:25] my favorite is VMware Workstation 6 [05:25] when playing music, i tried to use the volume adjustment on my panel to lower the music and it does not adjust volume. so how do i fix it anyone [05:25] !intrepid | kudar [05:25] kudar: 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! [05:25] I can record video sessions of my VM. The newest version, 6.5, is going to have recording actual mouse moves :) [05:25] ASrock: do you have to buy it? [05:25] MrPeepers310: I like VirtualBox - but I am not a heavy user of virtualization [05:26] MrPeepers310: yes [05:26] um [05:26] ok [05:26] ASrock: ok what about free software [05:26] ASrock, MrPeepers310, yuo can run the beta free. [05:26] MrPeepers310 and vmware Server is free. [05:26] I have a seperate machine running Ubuntu Server + Vmware Server [05:26] was it vmware that does virtual 3d acceleration? [05:26] and I use the Vmware server Console form my VM's [05:27] danbhfive: what is that? [05:27] Ok, so it asks me for install location for Mozilla. [05:27] I'm pretty sure vmware has experimental support for directx [05:27] MrPeepers310: idk i have tried a few free 'solutions' and couldnt get any of them to work [05:27] I typed in the correct location, but it still says it's not right [05:27] when playing music, i tried to use the volume adjustment on my panel to lower the music and it does not adjust volume. [05:27] kudar: its the next version of ubuntu, which contains that kernel [05:27] vmware server also offers terminal service like connection to a remote vm [05:27] its kinda slow though, id rather use terminal services for that [05:27] virtuallinux: well i need it for running visual basic and for some reason the newest update of virtualbox the driver doesn't work with it [05:27] I jsut typed "/usr/lib/mozilla" [05:28] Vmware Workstatio 6.5 supports DX9 in Windows XP guests right now, but nothing as far as I know in Linux :( [05:28] bummer [05:28] thats pretty slick though [05:28] cant really imagine play a 3d game in a vm [05:28] how do you completly remove and reinstall firefox 3. [05:28] Cycom: really? do you have to pay for that version? [05:28] navetz: that would be tricky [05:28] does anyone know how to fix my volume adjustment on my panel it does not work [05:29] navetz: apt-get purge firefox , might break a lot of stuff though [05:29] mohadib: humm ok thanks [05:29] whois [05:29] what's the difference between purge and remove? [05:29] purge removes config files [05:30] navetz: do what i do and install it to /home/$USER/local and just update your icon to point to the new one ;p [05:30] exit [05:30] remove doesnt always do that [05:30] hey my firefox browser hangs a lot is there a solution [05:30] pepperjack: will that new one recieve proper updates? [05:30] mu91t: google chrome! [05:30] j/k [05:30] for ubuntu [05:30] one removes the package, the other removes the package and removes the residuals, I think [05:30] mu91t: flash? [05:30] navetz: well no [05:31] navetz: the proper way apt-get --reinstall install firefox [05:31] navetz: but automatic update is like asking for directions when you have a vauge idea of where youre going. remember we're men [05:31] also vlc pl;ayer is not giving sounds for 3gp files....wat should i do [05:31] navetz: that wont break anything [05:31] and should give you a clean install [05:32] mohadib:alright I'll give it a shot. [05:32] pepperjack: ok I'll try it if reinstalling doesn't work [05:33] i cant download anything from the repo :O [05:33] Hello! [05:34] Does anyone know why I can't find the "Ibm Symphony" in my application menu? [05:34] mu91t: When firefox started hanging a lot for me, i found the best solution was to turn visual effects (compiz) off. If you don't want to shut the whole thing off, I believe the plugins that really cause the problem are the image rendering plugins. [05:35] hey guys, i just installed 8.04 and can't get the sound to work properly as it did on my gusty install...i could play multiple audio sources (ie youtube and amarok) but now i cant [05:35] and ideas? [05:35] Hello? Anyone using the IBM symphony? [05:35] i did have ubuntu studio installed...maybe it had to do with that? [05:36] mikeyfbi: No, no.....This is a known bug in Pulse. I suggest switching everything back to Alsa in System->Preferences->Sound [05:36] What's the command to go back a directroy in terminal? [05:36] I thought it was "cd.." [05:36] bobertdos, ok i'll try that...think it'll require me to restartx for it to take effect? [05:36] hello, and how can i get ibm symphony started? [05:37] LordAnubis: it is "cd .." [05:37] hey guys, i just installed 8.04 and want to add packages from ubuntustudio w/ out doing a fresh install [05:37] ok, I was just reading in the BIND configuration that you can escape the $ character when using GENERATE. What possible reason would cause someone to want to escape the $ ?? It's not valid in domain names afaik...I'm confused I suppose [05:37] is vmware-server not included in the release of hardy? i can't even find it in the repos [05:37] mikeyfbi: Amarok locks up on me when I play it and flash simultaneously, but it might work out better for you. Well, not X, but you might possibly need to stop pulse and/or restart alsa. [05:37] RonzO: download it [05:37] frmo vmware.com [05:38] it can update its self, and has an uninstall script [05:38] bobertdos, can you do those from the terminal? [05:38] !google-earth [05:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about google-earth [05:38] hrm [05:38] !googleearth [05:38] Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository [05:38] mikeyfbi: yes [05:38] howdy Cpudan80 [05:38] mohadib: hiya [05:38] does anyone using ibm symphony in Ubuntu? [05:39] i can not get it started in hardy. [05:39] Anyone know of a good rm replacement script? [05:39] bobertdos, WHOOP! haha so far so good [05:39] bobertdos, both youtube and amarok at the same time [05:39] neither clive nor youtube-dl has worked; is there anyway i can download the following video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8559159269814597358 ? [05:39] bobertdos, thank you so much :) :) [05:40] hml: I think there is a greasemonkey script to download google video [05:40] mikeyfbi: You're welcome, and just fyi, we're ALL hoping that Ibex improves upon Pulse :D [05:40] what is Pulse supposed to do? [05:40] bobertdos: why? I don't think it does [05:41] bobertdos, so Pulse is the default now? what is ALSA then? or why wouldn't they just use that? :) [05:41] hello i want to upgrade to hardy but i want to make a good backup first, whats the best cmd for backups? ty [05:41] !backup > mrBob [05:41] mrBob, please see my private message [05:41] mikeyfbi: Yeah, they're in the process of pushing ALSA out and transitioning into Pulse. [05:42] i've got a bunch of pdfs (scanned books, etc) that i'd like to serve from my home server... is there some server software that generates a nice html interface (with thumbnails, etc) for browsing ebooks? [05:42] fulltext search would be nice too [05:42] bobertdos, ah i see :) when is Ibex due? [05:42] mikeyfbi: The same way that OSS gave way to ALSA :) [05:42] mikeyfbi: next month [05:43] I hear that Ibex is gonna have a darker theme to it... is this true? [05:43] bobertdos, oh hahah, i shoulda just waited to re-install. i've heard upgrading can be quite a feat sometimes [05:43] mikeyfbi: yeah, it can, I usually prefer to start fresh each time. [05:43] Zerocxis» Nope. [05:44] i can not get ibm symphony installed in my Ubuntu. anyone has some suggestion? thanks! [05:44] UCI_JELEXXX [05:44] Zerocxis» That was just two alpha versions. Alpha 5 is not dark but has ugly metacity theme. [05:44] bobertdos, well i'll just get better at it...this time my ccsm profile didn't load properly...but the install was super fast and slick. === Winston_1mithVT is now known as Winston_SmithVT [05:44] bobertdos, a fresh install twice a year isn't much hassle with ubuntu anyway ;) [05:46] Zerocxis» In no way will this be final but here's alpha 6, (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-8-10-Alpha-5-Screenshot-Tour-93089.shtml) [05:46] ound?

Can someone please tell me how to run any of the compiz fusion stuff. I already have them installed [07:13] oppss .. already been helped [07:13] i see the layout now wickedpuppy, but how do i get the chars to be typed [07:13] droopsta915: alright then. you have to configure grub to allow you to choose what OS to boot into. Also, i am not sure if just installing a drive that already has WinXP on it will work. however, check out something like: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm and keep in mind that most guides are written with the idea that you will be INSTALLING winxp [07:13] I followed the link, installed, and restarted the virtual machine, and still the same thing. [07:13] people still dual boot around here?

I just installed an hour ago, the touch pad on my Acer Travelmate 4060 is locked up. Hasn't worked at all.

[07:15] Flannel: that guide won't help much as he has a drive that already has XP on it i think? [07:16] I just said my problem... [07:16] ushimitsudoki: It will.

[07:17] i guess my quesiton is, how do I see the effects of a given compiz plugin after I have it all set up. Is there a key that I press or something [07:17] Flannel well what do I have to say to you so you can diagnise the problem? [07:18] RandomNuB: Well, right now we have absolutely no idea whats going on. You'll want to describe what exactly its doing to make you think its not working, etc. === The_Phoenix1 is now known as The_Phoenix [07:18] Any thoughts guys?... touch pad not working?

[07:55] aldaek: you are instructing it to create it in the root path, that's what "/public_html" means. [07:55] outbackwifi, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/46083/ [07:55] aldaek: if you want to create in your own directory, just use "mkdir public_html" without the slash === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:56] 2 many questions, i have a live install it works good what is the default root password? [07:56] * aldaek slaps self silly with trout fin. "Doh!" [07:56] standard, none; use sudo [07:56] I did have the / in there. [07:56] <[dksuiko]> Quick question.. when you exit X-Windows, does the terminal that you drop down to have a name? [07:57] hi. my nvidia card suddenly stopped working. if i reboot, it goes to low. if i do modprobe -r nvidia modprobe nvidia and restart x it works. what can it be? [07:57] <[dksuiko]> I know it runs bash, but as for the terminal itself.. for example, in xwindows, you have rxvt, etc. [07:57] one more how do i compile a driver [07:57] i have the driver [07:57] [dksuiko]: tty ? [07:58] its extracted to a folder [07:58] I need to dual boot ubuntu and xp, two hard drives, I have both operating systems installed, linux master, xp slave, what next? [07:58] <[dksuiko]> deb: ah, good idea. [07:58] <[dksuiko]> don't have a linux box on my at the moment though, chatting from a windows client. :( [07:59] hi. my nvidia card suddenly stopped working. if i reboot, it goes to low. if i do modprobe -r nvidia modprobe nvidia and restart x it works. what can it be? [07:59] Is it possible to create jabber/xmpp-chatrooms with jabber? how? [07:59] (with pidgin) [07:59] droopsta915: master/slave isn't the right way of thinking in a dual-boot scenario...they are independent of one another (although you can do some tricks to share things) [07:59] aldaek: yes, you should NOT use the / [08:00] It was pure accident. Hence the trout and homer saying. [08:00] [dksuiko]: I think the program that prompts you for password is called "login", the program that handles alt-f1 -> alt-f7 is getty [08:00] ushimi: right, but if both drives are in, doesn't one have to be master? === standard is now known as pallu [08:00] outbackwifi, did you see the output or did I have it wrong === Q_Contoxicated is now known as Q_Continuum [08:01] droopsta915: Hold on, I think there's a little ambiguity in your question. When you say one is slave and the other is master, do you mean to say that you have one OS installed to the master drive and the other installed to the slave?? [08:01] droopsta915: well yes for hardware but that just means you need grub there so it is loaded and you select the OS to load from grub [08:01] <[dksuiko]> ykphuah: ah, i see! thanks! i'll google 'getty' [08:01] I think droopsta915 is talking about the IDE cables. [08:01] [dksuiko]: you do realize that both of them are not "terminals". :P [08:02] <[dksuiko]> ah, i just wasn't sure what to call it. heh [08:02] bober: yes ubuntu master, xp slave. the pins on the drive. [08:02] droopsta915: you can usually set the jumpers on the drives to assign the master, or you may need to change the cabling or controllers as well. that is a hardware issue [08:02] hello how to set the resolution for hp compaq laptop 6720s [08:02] [dksuiko]: last time there was mgetty, then agetty, I don' t know which one we are using now. [08:02] dev [08:02] <[dksuiko]> ykphuah: so what would be controlling the video i/o for the terminal? [08:03] [dksuiko]: maybe I can help more if you tell me what you are trying to acomplish? [08:03] droopsta915: So Ubuntu is already installed on one hard drive and XP is already installed on the other hard drive, correct? [08:03] <[dksuiko]> ykphuah: well, not really trying to accomplish anything really, lol. just curious. [08:03] bobertdos: correct [08:03] <[dksuiko]> like when you hit alt-f1 to alt-f7, what are those instances of? [08:04] <[dksuiko]> i know rxvt, you can have 7 windows, etc. [08:04] what is command to get flash, java, etc [08:04] Would anybody know why I get a blank screen while booting, but the log-on screen still appears after? [08:04] [dksuiko]: ah ok, getty is the one that handles the alt-f1 -> alt-f7, getty launches the "login" program. [08:04] [dksuiko]: which ask for your username/password. [08:04] waan: what point in the boot process does the screen go black? it might be usplash [08:04] kudar, go to Applications menu > add/remove > install the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package [08:05] droopsta915: Alright, well first of all, I'm assuming that the master drive is set in the BIOS as the highest boot priority, right? [08:05] [dksuiko]: you can look into /etc/inittab, there should be some getty stuffs in there. [08:05] bobertdos: correct [08:06] <[dksuiko]> ah, i see. thanks! === freqk is now known as freqk|away [08:06] hello how to set the resolution for hp compaq laptop 6720s [08:06] hello [08:06] ushimitsudoki, after grub [08:06] the problemn is the xp drive is seen as a mounted device, iccan see all the folders and files, but cant boot up as a xp machine [08:06] droopsta915: Okay, given that, what you need to do next is use a LiveCD to install Grub to your main Ubuntu partition. After that, you'll probably need to add an entry for Windows XP into a file called menu.lst. [08:07] !grub > droopsta915 [08:07] droopsta915, please see my private message === xander is now known as xander86 [08:07] ushimitsudoki, it works fine when I use recovery mode, so I guess its something to do with the splash screen being our of sync? [08:07] waan: did you try to turn off "quiet"? then you can see it as it boots and look for an error. Another option is to look at /var/log/dmesg. I would do both [08:07] So, who wants to help a complete newbie to Ubuntu 8.04? I've got it installed, I'm just dealing with the almost instant freezing upon boot up... [08:08] waan: that is a possibility - i have a problem with my usplash and haven't got around to fixing it a second time yet [08:08] Hi I got this error when try to install some of ruby gem http://pastebin.com/m6cfd1e97. I am not C(++) Programmer but I suppose I am missing some libraries or soemthing [08:08] ushimitsudoki, ok i'll try both of those [08:08] ushimitsudoki, yeah the operating system works fine, it's just a minor annoyance [08:08] These instructions are confusing to enable the site/~user web pages. It told me to edit a blank file. [08:08] waan: alright good luck and look for "usplash" that is my best guess [08:09] ubottu: i didnt lose grub, i took the xp drive from my old computer and installed it to my ubuntu machine. [08:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:09] droopsta915: I know you didn't lose grub, but you do need to install it, and that wiki entry tells you how. [08:10] droopsta915: and now you have to let grub know that. if it isn't listed in /boot/grub/menu.lst you aren't going to have a chance to boot to it [08:10] magnetron: i have ubuntu ultimate.. should i get ubuntu restricted extras or kubuntu restricted extras? [08:10] ushimitsudoki, dmesg | grep splash returns nothing except the kernel command line (which includes splash) [08:10] kudar_, ultimate is not supported here [08:10] kudar_, we don't make ubuntu ultimate [08:11] ... [08:11] Anyone want to help me out? I think I have the problem with the ati drivers and I need to use the restricted drivers, but I don't know how to switch them... I have to do it without booting to the gui. [08:11] kudar_, you'll have to ask the ubuntu ultimate folks [08:11] Rokay: this might help you --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=604784 [08:11] !ultimate [08:11] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [08:11] hmm ultimate looks cool [08:11] droopsta915: Actually, a better way to say it is that you need to figure out where all of your OS's are, according to Grub, so that you can build a proper menu.lst file. [08:11] i never seen it , thanks :) [08:11] waan: yes. dmesg will show any errors before usplash tries to load - so look there for non-usplash problem maybe. Turn off quiet in grub (you can use "e" to edit the boot options from grub temporarily) and watch the boot to see errors that dmesg isn't logging [08:12] ultimate have their own channel? [08:12] kudar_, they have a website [08:12] ushimitsudoki, yeah i'll edit the command before booting, brb [08:12] thanks outbackwifi !!! [08:12] I have no sound on my dell latitude d63 [08:12] let me try that outbackwifi [08:12] What is wrong? [08:12] bobertdos: how can i searh for the operating systems?

[08:16] !paste | droopsta915 [08:16] droopsta915: paste is The Ubuntu pastebin is a web page service where you post multiple lined texts, so you don't flood the channel. When you use it you put the url in the channel. http://paste.ubuntu.com (see topic) [08:16] i seem to have two playing streams in banshee. i am not sure why it starts two different songs, i'd like to stop one stream, of course, i'm just not sure how this happened in the first place though [08:16] ushimitsudoki: I have no idea how to do anything, I've only gotten 8.04 installed and done a memory test. [08:16] outbackwifi: Give me the alsa config command? [08:16] energy: launch alsamixer [08:16] thanx, will be back in a bit. [08:16] energy: from a terminal [08:17] energy: increase the volume of everything there [08:17] nkei0: alright then. When you boot up you should see a little option about grub to like press ESC to enter the menu. There should be a "single" or "single user" or "recovery" option. like the normal and check memory option. I don't remember the exact verbiage. that will let you boot into a command line environment [08:17] recovery is there [08:17] Item IEC958 is [OFF] [08:18] ushimitsudoki: I've gone into recovery but i didn't understand how to use it [08:18] nkei0: if you can boot into that - then you at least know the install worked and you are having some other problems [08:19] energy: ignore that [08:19] ushimitsudoki: Yeah, the install worked, i can login but as soon as i click on anything it freezes and sometimes (most) it garbles the screen a few seconds later [08:19] nkei0: So you can get X running (that is the graphical part)? It just is not stable? [08:19] ubottu: i have pasted the terminal lines in the pastebin as plain text, where do i add the url?

[08:22] Jakeotron: use pastebin to post your xorg.conf and someone will get to it.

[08:26] wow, pastebin is cool ;) I likey. [08:27] nkei0: then maybe it is your drivers. Did you try EnvyNG to install them? [08:27] bobertdos: wanted to see it, im trying to dual boot a machine, the 40 gb drive is the xp drive [08:27] no, i just figured they would work from startup, like windows [08:29] hi all.....i want to create a recovery partiotion and make it apear as a hidden partition under windows. however parition will be created under linux. [08:29] d [08:29] any suggestions about achieving the goal? [08:29] ushimitsudoki, cant find much info in dmesg, I can pastebin it if you like? [08:29] outbackwifi: im trying to add that 40 gb drive into the boot. I have xp installed in it [08:29] >nickserv< help register [08:29] gah [08:29] i am unsure of what applifcation is playing music in my system. its not a gnome app, or at least one that is still open, and it seems to access my collection and play music. i've looked in top, and i cannot seem to spot it. any ideas what to do ? [08:29] droopsta915: alright, so according to that, Grub will recognize your XP partition as hd(1,0). You will want to put this in /boot/grub/menu.lst -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/46092/ [08:30] bobertdos: got you, ill be back, thanx in advance:) [08:31] ushimitsudoki, if I knew where the splash started I could find the point to look for trouble [08:31] droopsta915: You know you need root privileges to edit that file, right? [08:32] avis: pastebin ps -fe [08:32] bobertdos: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst Correct? [08:32] outbackwifi, it was a webpage :) thanks for trying to help though, i found it [08:33] droopsta915: We recommend using gksudo, but yes [08:33] how do i know which hd?,? my windows installation is installed on? [08:33] its on my /dev/hda3 [08:33] i mean, dev/sda3 [08:33] bobertdos: ok will do :) [08:33] wersdaluv: To Grub, that would be hd(0,2) [08:34] is it always like that for sda3 bobertdos? [08:34] wann: i don't think usplash problem is going to show in dmseg. I am saying to check 2 things: 1 - the output into dmesg to see if there are any errors there. 2 - watch the entire boot process (some of which is captured in dmesg) and see if usplash is loading properly [08:35] ushimitsudoki: thanks for the help, i'm going to give it a shot (sucks that it's my only computer, it makes this difficult) [08:37] <[CK]Davros> Hi, I'm having trouble using a game port midi adaptor under hardy. My buest guess is that the adaptor isn't being found/recognised as aplaymidi -l only shows a "Midi through" and no hardware ports === oguz is now known as ogzy [08:37] wersdaluv: Well, Ubuntu and Grub's labeling schemes parallel each other, the first drive is 'a' for Ubuntu and '0' for Grub. The first partition for Ubuntu is '1' and '0' for Grub. So, sda3 in Ubuntu means 0,2 for grub.

[08:50] Hosstest: how do you mean physical raid? [08:50] Hosstest, that would depend on the question [08:50] Hosstest, don't ask to ask a question, just ask it [08:50] bobertdos: unless the computer reads the devices needed [08:50] as long as you have the linux drivers for that raid card it should go smotthly [08:50] droopsta915: Yeah, you can do that if you want, but I also think maybe now, you SHOULD try reinstalling Grub, because I'm not sure it's properly set. [08:51] well, there is a controller on the mother board... I have heard some pretty horrible stories about installing over a raid. I havent messed with Ubuntu in about a year. So I was just wondering if A.) It can be done easly, and B.)

[08:52] waan: no i think that is just trying to sort out memory and IRQs and what not - i don't think that is related....let me ask you this, when i boot I see a message (near the end of the boot process) that usplash couldn't find a "theme" and it tried a new reoslution and initilization failed ... do you not see that?

[08:52] droopsta915: The the wiki entry makes it look complicated, but really all you're doing is letting grub search for the Ubuntu partition, and then setting Grub upon it. === RoflCoptrZzz is now known as RoflCoptr [08:53] nkei0, try gksu gedit filename [08:53] Hosstest: its fakeraid as the sytsem sees 2 drives, if its proper raid then your system would only see 1 [08:53] is gksu the same as gksudo? [08:53] gnuskool: dd [08:53] would I still have to provide drivers at some point in the installation to see the raid? [08:53] ActionParsnip: thx [08:54] nkei0: no, gksudo uses roots environment, gksu uses the users environment but with elavated access [08:54] ushimitsudoki, i'll google around a bit about usplash [08:54] bobertdos: i got the disk in, im getting prompted to open packet manager, is the right way for installing grub [08:54] alright, bbiab, gotta try that [08:54] Hosstest: no you just set it up and it will be mounted as a raid array [08:55] waan: alright but the usplash lines will NOT be in the dmseg log i'm not sure i made that clear [08:55] word, so I could get away with installing with live cd then? [08:55] droopsta915: Are you using a LiveCD? [08:55] ushimitsudoki, yeah you told me, but I cant see a thing when it boots its way too fast [08:55] Hosstest: read the guide it'll tell you a lot [08:55] vag: any good? [08:55] How do you fix a missing audio problem it was their yesterday, I downloaded some packages and now it says I do not have one or the gstream plugin is not right [08:56] ushimitsudoki, it goes black almost instantly [08:56] darque: you could uninstall it then reinstall it i guess [08:56] ActionParsnip: I tried to insert some resolution to the xorg but no... after reinstalling the drivers it plays. After restarting gdm still nothing :( [08:56] vag: can i see your new xorg.conf please [08:56] waan: alright then, another thing to try then is to adjust the resolution that usplash is attempting. perhaps it is trying a mode that your driver is not displaying? Just something to keep an eye out for as well [08:57] last question... anyone running WOW on Ubuntu?

[09:07] nkei0: alright then one more option might be to force X to use the "vesa" driver until you can get going? It will be crappy resolution, but it might be an option? Another would be to download the packages you will need (from reading the guide) to a USB drive. Finally, you can try to set up your network from the CLI - it will work in the CLI but if it is tricky to configure it could be troublesome. sorry i know that isn't muc [09:07] ActionParsnip: I have it in media but I cannot get to it because of the (") in the name [09:07] cgrapski: It will likely be in /media/(disk, disk1 etc) or sometimes in /mnt [09:07] Do I need to put a code instead of the (") character [09:07] cgrapski: then like Flannel said, use tab to autocomplete the name [09:08] It is in media [09:08] ushimitsudoki: How can I force it to use the vesa driver? [09:08] I think you'll need "\Some\ Name"\ [09:08] OK I'll try and autocomplete and see if that works.

When I "play" certain screensavers it makes loud pitch noises, I think it may have something to do with OpenGL? o_0 [10:18] hah? [10:18] ActionParsnip, that converts the file to a .iso.. and i didnt want that [10:18] guys, i need to access my exchange account from ubuntu, how do? [10:18] nnull: I started this xchat, and the window was like 10 pixels abover the upper screen edge [10:18] It's not a beep or anything, it's more of a squeel [10:18] i dont have pop or imap support on the exchange server [10:18] douye: i thought the first bit mounted it [10:19] Tonik: what resolution? [10:19] Ziroday: 1024x768 [10:19] Tonik, i have a key bound to move windows, so yea that how id avoid that :s [10:19] Tonik: also you can fix it by pressing alt on the window and dragging it down [10:19] Tonik: the window was probably too large for the screen, make it smaller [10:19] Ziroday: glad you asked, I had to manually edit xorg.conf to get 100 Hz (like I've been doing for the last 10 years in all Linux distros) [10:20] Ziroday, well you taught me something new at least. Cheers :) [10:20] ActionParsnip, do you mean that "sudo modprobe loop, sudo mount file.bin /mnt/place -o loop -t iso9660" ? [10:20] DFlame: have fun [10:20] douye: yeah, i thought that would mount it [10:20] Ziroday: the ridiculous thing is that when I *DO* want to get a window above screen edge, it WILL NOT let me do it [10:20] Tonik: do you have a problem or just feel like trolling? [10:20] Ziroday: feel like trolling [10:20] Tonik: then #ubuntu-trolls please :) [10:20] guys, i need to access my exchange account from ubuntu, how do? [10:21] Ziroday: because I have lost any hope that things will improve long ago [10:21] tonik: your 100hz issue ios ms:embrace,exclude,extend at its finest [10:21] airtonix: does Microsoft prevent Linux from autodetecting the model of my monitor?

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [10:22] Tonik: so your whole gripe is because you cant place a window where you want it, and that makes ubuntu substandard?

[10:26] douye, as far as i am aware the loopbacl module in the kernel responsible for mounting iso images only supports iso [10:26] when I take a screenshot in gnome, I have a semi-transparent picture of the camera superimposed on my image. How do I make the camera totally transparent so that I don't see it on my image? [10:26] airtonix: cdemu is a kernel module that can mount .bin files [10:26] ActionParsnip, yeah.. found it gives a lot of errors :P cant get it to work somehow :/ (lots of folks are having errors with it..) [10:27] [CK]Davros: Ubuntu can be (almost) usable after you spend a couple of hours fixing it, so do use it sometimes [10:27] douye: airtonix: ive never used it, sorry [10:27] Apoll1-chmod might be better [10:27] im getting this when i try to mount my MP3 player Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'HARD DISK'. [10:27] douye: why cant you convert it, iso is much more accepted [10:28] ActionParsnip, i can, but would prefer to just keep it as a .bin.. but guess im stuck with converting it [10:28] neophyte: if you run sudo fdisk -l does it show up?

[10:31] Only sound of the active desktop ? [10:31] Tonik, i wish metacity had middle click on the max/min buttons to restrict maximisng to the vertical [10:31] airtonix: i thought it was called the power key [10:32] ActionParsnip, yeah i was wondering what it was called before the windows 95 days [10:32] airtonix: you can map the button to the special function [10:32] ActionParsnip: i did everything according to those commands... even restarted bluetooth... but the option of sending and receiving files is not activated [10:32] i can seethe bluetooth icon [10:32] ActionParsnip, airtonix, hmm weird.. i've converted it with bchunk.. and now i mounted it but the videoplayers wont play it :/ (totem says it cant read from recourse, vlc just stays at 0:00) [10:32] ActionParsnip, on macs its a cmd key on pcs there wasnt one until windows95 cabe around [10:32] aj_: id try browsing bluetooth places, thats how i do it [10:32] Hi , Is it possible to have only the sound of the active desktop ?? :) :) [10:32] hi [10:32] aj_: then add the address as a favourite [10:33] paolo: [10:33] douye, ahh so this wasnt a data cd image? seems your dealing with a vcd .bin === xserver is now known as xserver1 [10:33] airtonix, yeah its a movie..

[10:34] airtonix: Yes i Can elaborate .. I mean the desktop I'm currently using and not the others ... (I use Desktop with 3D Cube with compiz) [10:34] what happens with the hibernate function? === xserver1 is now known as Xserver [10:34] douye, i think vcds have different file system than iso data images, so the generic loopback mount command you would see on the internet would be for data iso images [10:35] livingdaylight_: kiba-dock [10:35] livingdaylight_: I like AWN, myself but why not give a few a try and see which ones you like [10:35] outbackwifi, i haven't heard of that one [10:35] airtonix, i thought i mounted a vcd with that script before if im right :/ [10:35] hello , i'm using dual screen (2 separate desktop) everything works fine , but i want to know if there is a way to add some "resistance" to the edge desktop for the mouse [10:35] tibetoine, ahh ok, your referring to workspaces. a desktop can hold many workspaces. and no there isnt a way to do what you want [10:35] so it don't switch easily [10:35] outbackwifi, how is that different or better? [10:36] nevermind airtonix > It would have been Cool :) [10:36] douye, yes you most proly did, but it was contained inside an iso image most proly [10:36] [Ubuntu 8.04.1] The file /usr/share/applications/network.desktop is missing.

[10:36] airtonix, yeah i downloaded that one as a .iso [10:36] I'm having an interesting problem, my ubuntu is stuck in zoom mode aparently [10:37] I just installed new drivers from Envy [10:37] Zombie28, have you tried ctrl+alt + or - ? [10:37] before with my 8800GT I had low res only and now its almos topposite [10:37] yes [10:37] tibetoine, it is but the negatives outway the positives in relation to the amount of effort you will need to make [10:37] it didn' [10:37] it didn't work [10:37] its like its in zoom but not in zoom if that makes sence [10:38] tibetoine, but in your current setup, it is not possible to restrict sound output from apps on one paticular workspace [10:38] ok thanks airtonix [10:38] Hello. I'm trying to figure out what the name of my network adapter is. Is there any command for this? [10:38] Puddy: ifconfig [10:38] airtonix, so if i download a vcd as a .iso i can just mount it but when i download a .bin/.cue im screwed ? [10:38] outbackwifi: Thanks [10:38] Zombie28, first we need to find out which desktop enviroment you are in. [10:39] Zombie28, can't help sorry [10:39] uhm I'm using gnome if that helps, I'm still in transition from windows to linux so please excuse any ignorance :] [10:40] douye, in the latter, i usually try to open it with my media players first. then if that dont work..try to find out the real format of the image from searching internet with the original downloaded filename [10:40] oh ok , so maybe envy don't setup you the right resolution Zombie28 [10:40] ok should I go by another means to get the driver? [10:40] Zombie28, ok so assuming you have just installed and turned on desktop effects....from memory can you rotate a desktop ? [10:40] zombie what kind of card do you have ? (ati or nvidia ) ? [10:41] nvidia 800 series [10:41] 8800GT [10:41] airtonix, well.. i dowloaded it from newsservers [10:41] Zombie28, can you reach the menus of gnome ? === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] [10:41] describe how I'd do that [10:41] I might know how but i'm unfamiliar [10:42] Zombie28, do you see them ?

[10:48] oh ok [10:48] prodigel, have you look in the key bindings found int he system menu [10:48] prodigel, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace restarts GDM. [10:48] reikon, my system at whole, not just X [10:49] xess: i am good [10:49] reikon, actually its not. ctrl+alt+delete restarts your system, ctrl+alt+backspace logs you out [10:49] airtonix, mine's setup the opposite. [10:49] ctrl+alt+backspace shut X , and gdm restart it !!! [10:49] i gtg now guys, thanks for the help [10:50] people, people, I know what I'm talking about, I know that ctrl+alt+backspace is intended to do and no it doesn't just restart X it reboots my computer [10:50] vampur, yes i am sure, mp3 support isnt included in the live cd as far as i am aware..have a look at the ubuntu wiki about using aptoncd [10:51] !multimedia [10:51] Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically.

[10:54] douye, yes if the vcd is created following standards, which..mind you is easy to create a vcd that does not follow standards. [10:55] airtonix, hmm well.. gmplayer can play the video.. but i dont get any sound with it.. so figured vlc should be able to just play it.. but guess im wrong [10:56] douye sound might be related to which sound driver your media player is set to use [10:56] airtonix, hmm to the right one (alsa) [10:57] douye, maybe you have to select a audio channel? [10:57] douye, or maybe run it prefixxed with "aoss" [10:58] [Ubuntu 8.04.1] The file /usr/share/applications/network.desktop is missing. How can I install it?

It worked. -- Can you tell me why «dpkg -S /usr/share/applications/network.desktop» found the file network.desktop but packages.ubuntu.com did not? [11:13] andycas1: this is the ubuntu support channel; if you ask ubuntu specific questions, people try to answer [11:13] under Modes in xorg.conf, I've added "1680x1050", what could be wrong? [11:13] AzizLight, yeah it does look great. would be great to have on openbox setup [11:15] hello i've got opera browser in .tar.gz format.... but dont know how to install it.... can anyone help me [11:16] mu91t: is it a binary or source? [11:16] mu91t, why do you have it in tar.gz format and not use the apt-get install opera?

[11:20] outbackwifi: still no luck with the two interfaces [11:20] our next target is South Africa, we'll invade it and claim ownership of Ubuntu [11:20] how can I check the firewall settings? [11:20] stapel: what did youdo? [11:20] stapel: sudo iptables -L [11:20] Martiini: :> [11:20] stapel, without a gui? [11:20] heeelp! [11:20] Tonik: so russia has given up on America now .. since russians arent allowed nuclear weapons any more [11:21] when i run 'users and groups' and click unlock so i can edit the users, nothing happens [11:21] hi guestguestnew [11:21] it doesn't ask for a password and i am unable to edit [11:21] without gui - I have standard ubuntu-server installed - no X [11:21] hi outbackwifi pls help! [11:21] Btw, i have a question which i explain in a forumpost, is it ok to paste the link? [11:21] stapel, does "sudo iptables -L" output what you need to know? [11:22] benjick: pastebin it [11:22] Martiini: yeah. I hear Bush is also planning to forbid Russia to fly into space [11:22] Virgin has that covered [11:22] http://pastebin.ca/1200912 [11:22] benjick: yeah, but you should provide a summary here with your link [11:23] stapel, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [11:23] The main thing is that i can't listen to music at youtube and rhythmbox at the same time [11:23] flying 100 km up and falling like a brick back down is not much use, Martiini [11:24] stapel, i have also used firestarter via remote X connections on a server before...seemed to work fine [11:24] benjick: that's because flash and pulseaudio don't play nice. You can install the libflashsupport package to make flash use pulseaudio, but for some people it makes firefox crash [11:24] stapel, firestarter is a gui editor for iptables [11:24] jrib: Yeah, i have to install flash manually. I'm i in a moment 22 then? [11:25] * outbackwifi replaced pulseaudio with good ole esd [11:25] benjick: why do you have to install it manually? [11:25] jrib: so is there any solution to pulseaudio/flash problem? (avoiding the firefox crash) [11:25] jrib: Because libflashsupport makes FF crash [11:25] Tonik: Richard Branson with virgin galactic has space travel market .. russian rockets is last century technology [11:25] outbackwifi: Working good? [11:25] cheese hangs extremely, how can i solve this: I want reacton time after I applied an effect below 1 seond. [11:25] benjick: how does installing it manually help? [11:25] benjick: yes, i had audio stuttering with pulse [11:26] Well, i downloaded flash from adobe and now it works [11:26] benjick: so you don't actually have a problem now? [11:26] jrib: The sound problem is still there [11:26] benjick: exactly... [11:26] But fx doesn't crash when i watch flashmovies now [11:27] jrib, benjick strange i get normal audio from flash at websites [11:27] benjick: ah, so you've tried libflashsupport in the past and it has crashed for you [11:27] mmm...nothing in iptables [11:27] jrib, benjick and i havent touched anything extra with it after install [11:27] what do use to open .rar files [11:27] gmail notifier error, I got gmail notifier sudo apt-get install checkinggmail ... but it is saying wrong username password error message every time :( [11:27] Hi, does anyone know if its possible to disable the alarm sound after an unsuccessful suspend? All works fine afterward, so i guess there was no problem [11:27] airtonix: I can try it, but i don't know how to replace pulseaudio [11:27] ciao [11:28] stapel, then try installing firestarter on the server and then ssh in with X forwarding so you can run firestarter remotely [11:28] edno, benjick: you can try using nspluginwrapper with flash (without libflashsupport). It's a solution for 64bit but will work on 32bit and isn't that crashy in my experience. Sometimes it happens that npviewer crashes, but it doesn't take the browser down with it [11:28] !list [11:28] 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 [11:28] I am trying to connect two different windoze computers to a ubuntu-server with crossover cables...only eth0 seems to work though [11:28] i have static IPs for both [11:28] stapel, but be aware, that when you do install firestarter you will be locked out...lol so make sure you have physical access [11:29] hi everybody [11:29] jrib: nspluginwrapper is for netscape? [11:29] I have this error when I want to open firefox : Failed to execute child process "firefox" (No such file or directory) [11:29] benjick: no [11:29] what's the matter [11:29] ? [11:29] airtonix: What did you say you used instead of pulseaudio? [11:30] stapel, with crossover cables? you mean the cables from the two windows machine each go into the ubuntu machine on seperate network cards? [11:30] airtonix: yes [11:30] benjick, i just installed the flashplugin via apt-get and it works... [11:30] Mehrab: what does 'which firefox' in a shell say? And, have you done anything related to firefox without using the package manager? [11:30] airtonix: Which one?

[11:34] guestguestnew: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [11:34] stapel, have you tried connecting them up one at a time so you know both connection works? ie 1. win1 - ubu-eth0 2. win1 - ubu-eth1 3. win2- ubu-eth0 4. win2 - ubu-eth1 [11:34] jrib, I'm reading libusplash-dev but it doesn't really say what to do at all, I haven't read the wiki [11:34] jstephan: while doing what?

[11:36] benjick: well I hope it works for you. I'm not on 32bit so I don't know if libflashsupport is still a problem or not (and you just haven't experienced it yet) [11:36] i also tried !title=descon [11:36] my entire line shows this [11:36] (!class=xfce4-terminal | type=toolbar | type=utility | type=dialog | type=normal ) & !(title=descon) [11:36] jrib: Gonna try it out [11:36] benjick: sure [11:37] What's the difference between a DNS server and a search domain?

[11:39] bullgard4, yep loko at the file contents. `leafpad /usr/share/applications/network.desktop` [11:40] airtonix: Not exactly but roughly. At least it is a file. And packages.ubuntu.com should find files. [11:40] jrib: Ah, it was the flashplugin-nonfree package which i couldn't use before. That one made FF crash [11:40] does ubuntu cd include partimage ,, anyone ?? [11:40] bullgard4, check out the file contents ...its just a desktop icon for network-admin [11:41] bullgard4, it's most proly part of nautilus [11:41] airtonix: You are mistaken. It is no icon. It is a file. [11:41] jrib: nothing happens when i execute this command. and no I havent done anything to ffirefox, and after a reboot this error appear [11:41] * outbackwifi wonders where this is leading to [11:41] bullgard4, it may not be an image as in a icon, but it is definiatly a file that describes an icon that sits on the nautilus desktop [11:42] Mehrab: pastebin the line that contains what you typed and the next one please [11:42] anyone know how i can keep a window from being minimized when i use "show desktop"?

[12:35] outbackwifi, bad, because now ubuntu wants to replace my kernel again every time I do apt-get upgrade [12:35] greetings, in 7.10 when i used dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i could set my video card . [12:35] outbackwifi: come into #ubuntu-au [12:35] however this behavior seems to have changed in 8.04 as it does not ask me about the card or driver at all. [12:36] in the xorg.conf only stands : "Device "Configured Video Device"", but it is not configured in that file. [12:36] Could someone post me to the "real" Information? [12:36] ATA_Dark_Shadow, That's because Xorg should be able to detect most cards and drivers now. [12:36] thank you jrib :) [12:36] dashavoo: it will not replace your kernel, it will just re-write the menu.lst [12:36] ATA_Dark_Shadow: yes they removed it for some reason :( [12:36] jrib: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/46163/ [12:36] ATA_Dark_Shadow, So, in most situations, nothing else is needed. Heck, even an xorg.conf file isn't always needed. [12:36] ATA_Dark_Shadow: what raphics card do you have?

[12:37] jrib: so what should I do? [12:37] Mehrab: did you run some sort of script that would do this? [12:37] outbackwifi, no, my kernel has the same name as the ubuntu stock kernel, since I compiled it from the source from the repositories following the "ubuntu method" as outlined at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [12:38] jrib: no, I can't remember [12:38] I originally did it the debian way, since I am already familiar with that, but I didn't know how to then compile the modules package against my new kernel [12:38] ATA_Dark_Shadow: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=816679&highlight=Problems+xorg.conf%2C+PCI+S3+ViRGE&page=2 [12:38] Mehrab: sudo ln -sf firefox-3.0 /usr/bin/firefox [12:39] lo [12:39] jrib: whats the f option do?

[12:42] Mehrab: or, it only says when it fails [12:43] in ubuntu can I use anybot with pidgin? if yes then what is bot name? [12:44] jrib: it started [12:44] jrib: thank you so much [12:44] Mehrab: alright. How about '/usr/bin/firefox' wait [12:44] ValentineX: i use pidgin but not any anybot [12:44] Mehrab: close the browser first [12:45] ActionParsnip: ok I am interested with bot since I saw bot in synaptic :D [12:45] ActionParsnip: if I can modprobe nvidia without any errors, that means my proprietary modules are all good, no? [12:45] many bots in ubuntu there b-) [12:45] jrib: it may have problem anymore? === idimmu_ is now known as idimmu [12:45] Mehrab: well, let's just make sure it works if you type 'firefox'. Let's start by making sure /usr/bin/firefox works [12:46] maxx_: not sure, I always get no x server if i reboot after envyng without changing my xorg.conf first [12:46] hey [12:46] hi eurisko [12:46] my module loads fine. i think an update broke something else that's keeping that X server from starting properly. [12:46] jrib: I was asking this for one of my friends that had this problem, and he is not online anymore [12:47] maxx_: then dmesg will output useful stuff [12:47] jrib: if there is some more job to do, tell me, but I can't tell you the results [12:47] Mehrab: oh. Well I think it should be fine as long as the symlink is pointing to firefox-3.0 [12:47] i have a problem here, i have a a windows dns server which is working perfectly with all the clients running windows [12:48] Mehrab: should be fine. If there's a problem just come back and say that 'firefox-3.0' works, but 'firefox' does not and you need some help setting up 'firefox' to be a symlink to 'firefox-3.0' [12:48] eurisko: have you added the dns address to your list of nameservers?

[13:20] * ActionParsnip will be playing warzone2100 later [13:20] mrnot: time to change your apt sources [13:20] do this by going to system -> administration -> synaptic [13:20] i want to uninstall my firefox it wasnt working properly how to ? [13:20] then settings -> repositories [13:20] maxx_: Ok, now what? [13:21] mrNotYou: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/44731 === root is now known as Guest5202 [13:21] Guest5202: why are you loggin in as root? [13:21] mrnotyou: "Download From" - set this to anything else [13:21] Hi everyone, what's the fastest and easiest way to make my laptop act like a wireless router ? Can I use Network Manager to do tat ? [13:21] !router | Guest5202 [13:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about router [13:21] maxx_: Ok, how about Main Server? [13:21] Hello guys! How do I configure Ubuntu to only use certain refresh rates and resolution modes? [13:22] Guest5202: please google this, it's not ubuntu specific [13:22] Guest5202: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router [13:22] !wireless | Guest5202 [13:22] ActionParsnip: I'm sorry I didn't change my nick yet and I had to log in with the root account because OpenGeu has a problem autenticating [13:22] Guest5202: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:22] mrNotYou: yeah. that sounds good! then hit Reload in synaptic [13:22] my downloading speed in xp is around 10 kbps but here in ubuntu is only 3 kbps how to increase it [13:22] Guest5202: i wouldnt log in as root ever, use sudo or gksu [13:22] any one [13:22] pls [13:22] gingle: is that from the same server? [13:22] ya [13:23] ActionParsnip: It's not for ever... I just want to set up this laptop as a router and I'll never use the root accont again [13:23] i m running dual boot [13:23] NoCigar: what type of video card do you have? [13:23] how can I do some kind of 'reinstall' of my alsa/sound card without reinstalling everything? [13:23] Nvidia FX5200 [13:23] Guest5202: cool, routers are cheaper and use less power than a laptop [13:24] bentob0x: sudo apt-get --reinstall install alsa-server (i guess, try tabcompleting after typing alsa) [13:24] maxx_: when I try to run some full screen games my monitor talks about input not supported so I guess it gets incompatible settings from the X server [13:24] Guest5205: I'd suggest not logging in through root again. Use sudo commands :) [13:24] NoCigar: do you know if you're running nvidia drivers, or open source ones [13:24] gingle: is this from the web? [13:24] I have the compatible list of modes but I can't find where to edit the xorg.conf so it doesn't use other than those [13:24] maxx_: I have the restricted ones [13:25] is this from the web means? [13:25] ActionParsnip: I'll move into a house that has a wireless network but for now I don't want to buy a router to throw it away later... Thanks for the help [13:25] NoCigar: Go to system -> administration -> nvidia x server settings [13:25] gingle: are you downloading websites and files from sites or p2p? [13:25] sites [13:25] Guest5202: ok cool [13:25] maxx_: there is no such thing [13:25] p2p means? [13:25] gingle: hmm, not sure, gimme a sec [13:25] * PiercedWolf gives ActionParsnip [13:25] peer to peer gingle [13:26] NoCigar: then i would recommend reinstalling nvidia proprietary drivers. if you go to synaptic, install envyNG [13:26] gingle: http://billstclair.com/blog/slow_firefox_downloads_fixed.html === _weltall is now known as weltall [13:26] i think i found the root cause of the mouse problem, thanks to this wonderful article: [13:26] http://www.idevelopment.info/data/Unix/Linux/LINUX_ErraticMouseBehaviorwithMouseFedoraandBelkinKVM.shtml [13:26] maxx_ I have heard that Envy is pretty bad, no? [13:26] NoCigar: then go to Applications -> System Tools -> EnvyNG and use that to download nvidia drivers [13:26] By the way, I have a really lame graphics card and I'm planning on changing it to an nvidia good one so I was thinking that there shouldn't be any problems with installing the card right? I just remove the old card and put the new card or should I install a kind of software or something/ [13:26] *? [13:26] apparently the touchpad is going in and out of advanced mode [13:26] in other words, it's a hardware problem [13:26] ok what can i do to improve my internet performance [13:26] yates: nice :( [13:27] gingle: read that post [13:27] yah [13:27] ok [13:27] NoCigar: I prefer it. You could also get drivers from nvidia directly. but in any case, you should have that icon there. you can also run nvidia-settings from the command line [13:27] yates: maybe theres a workaround? [13:27] that article i cited is truly wonderful - like gold [13:27] maxx_: do you know if I have to uninstall the gfx drivers before using Envy or if Envy takes care of everything for me? :p [13:27] gingle: i didnt get the link for fun, its helpful [13:27] NoCigar: does nvidia-settings from the command line give you a nice configuration window? [13:27] NoCigar: me too :D [13:27] bonjour [13:27] is ubuntu better than debian? [13:27] NoCigar: envy automatically removes glx, if that's what you mean [13:27] NoCigar: i wish it was more suported [13:27] ActionParsnip: so far, all i see is what i've already done, which means i lose vertical scroll functionality [13:28] hello boys!!! i need an exchange mail notifier, i used cgmail with exchange 2000 but it didnt work for 2007 ? [13:28] maxx_ ActionParsnip: I tried changing the repository server and this popped out after the reloading of Synaptic finished: GPG error: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 58403026387EE263Failed to fetch http://repository.akirad.net/dists/akirad-hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 500 Internal Server Error [13:28] Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [13:28] nope it doesn't maxx_, let me try with Envy :) [13:28] mrNotYou: you need the keys for that server (to authenticate it) [13:28] ActionParsnip: Uh, where do I get them? :S [13:28] mrNotYou: I would try a different repository then. it is possible your ISP is doing something weird. you should not get 500 internal server errors from any repository. [13:29] Good Morning everyone - i have a question about Thunderbird - I have 2 email accounts under TB - how can i seperate the 2 account in the local folders? [13:29] NoCigar: sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk; gksu envyng-gtk [13:29] nochd, Just install the nvidia-settings package. [13:29] D'oh. [13:29] NoCigar: if nvidia-settings doesn't work, then you don't have nvidia's driver installed. [13:29] suwerrat: use psts [13:29] NoCigar, Just install the nvidia-0settings package. [13:29] Hi, does anyone here use LED light bulbs as the main lighting in their home? [13:29] hello boys!!! i need an exchange mail notifier, i used cgmail with exchange 2000 but it didnt work for 2007 ? [13:29] maxx_, The driver and nvidia-settings are different packages under Hardy.

[13:29] maxx_: Envy GTK or Envy QT? [13:29] Andeh: I wish ($$) [13:29] NoCigar: gtk for gnome, qt for kde [13:29] Ok I'm a noob - what is psts ? [13:30] thanks ActionParsnip :) [13:30] suwerrat: a portable mail holder [13:30] NoCigar: our preference. gtk = gnome, qt=kde [13:30] our/your [13:30] Thanks ActionParsnip ! have a great day [13:30] suwerrat: you can filter emails to them as they are recieved. It also allows easy email backup as its held in a file [13:30] NoCigar, If you already installed the drivers via the restricted manager, there is no need to reinstall them, probably. Just install the 'nvidia-settings' package. [13:30] ActionParsnip: How do I get the correct keys to authenticate it? :s [13:30] NoCigar: yeah what adamk said :) [13:31] cool [13:31] maxx_ :) [13:31] mrNotYou: you go to the site and there is usually a walkthrough [13:31] mrNotYou: Um what site? :S [13:31] mrNotYou: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com [13:32] I've been curious about why Linux is defaulted (or it seems to be anyway) to 24-bit colors when Windows uses 32, how come? [13:32] * maxx_ fsck -c [13:33] NoCigar: you can make it 32bit if you want in xorg.conf [13:33] NoCigar: maybe that's what nvidia decided to do. i wouldn't worry about this. [13:33] NoCigar, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth [13:33] NoCigar: 24 is pretty ok [13:34] NoCigar, "the term “32-bit color” is most often a misuse referring to 24-bit color images with an additional eight bits of non-color data (I.E.: alpha, Z or bump data), or sometimes even to plain 24-bit data." [13:34] can anybody name a good program that i can use to securely delete files, using the DoD standard? [13:34] Finiras, "shred" [13:35] lol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw#Screw_you.21 [13:35] ActionParsni: I did again sudo apt-get update and this popped out: W: Failed to fetch http://repository.akirad.net/dists/akirad-hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 500 Internal Server Error [13:35] E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [13:35] Hi All [13:35] So I went to http://repository.akirad.net and there is a key somewhere. Would that be it? [13:35] mrNotYou: do you have some kind of transparent proxy (or does your ISP?) [13:35] I have an Ubuntu 8.04 How do I setup rsh ( password less ) to work [13:35] maxx_: Um, transparent proxy? :s [13:36] maxx_: Is this the key btw: http://repository.akirad.net/dists/akirad.key ? [13:36] I installed rsh-server and rsh-client from apt [13:36] since when would an ubuntu repository throw out 500 Internal Server Errors? methinks this si not key related. [13:36] randelin [13:36] maxx_ So what am I supposed to do know? :s [13:36] Hi, In my "preferred applications" under the multimedia tab there is only an option for multimedia player. How cn I get the other options like what to do on inserting CD etc [13:37] server irc.quakenet.org [13:37] mrNotYou: can you browser other web stuff? what happens when you put that http:// URL of the repository in a web browser? do you still get 500's? [13:37] mrNotYou: try to fetch that .gz file by hand. [13:37] maxx_: Yes I can browse and download everything else and when I put the repository URL I get the 500 error. [13:38] maxx_: By wget? [13:38] mrNotYou: yes, try wget. [13:38] if you get a 500 error [13:38] then there is some proxy between you and these repos that is throwing out 500 errors [13:38] maxx_: 15:38:17 ERROR 500: Internal Server Error. [13:38] mrNotYou: what is your ISP? [13:38] maxx_: How can I see all the connections to the Internet and see if there really is a proxy [13:39] ISP: A stupid one which I hope it burns down -_- [13:39] go to whatismyip.com and see if it is really your IP [13:39] Hi.. [13:39] is there a way of adding my ipod touch to my ssh key list? [13:39] mrNotYou: I suspect they have some evil web cache which is blocking (well, throwing up 500 errors) on ubuntu repos. [13:39] that's not right... [13:40] I have an Ubuntu 8.04 How do I setup rsh ( password less ) to work .. I installed rsh-server and rsh-client and inetd server.. I still get permission denied in auth.log [13:40] mrNotYou: that .gz file is just like any other file on the web. try a different repos. it will be the same file. you should be able to wget it. [13:40] linux_manju, rsh is not particularly secure. You're better off using ssh unless you have some specific reason to need rsh. [13:40] I get the following issue with my ipod when I try to SSH into it: http://pastebin.com/d574ebd1f [13:40] can someone help me out> [13:40] adamk: I know.. but for varoious reasons I have to use it [13:41] Then I suggest asking google as no one here seems to know :-) [13:41] maxx_: Where can I get the same file from different repos? [13:41] adamk: One such reason is allowing password less access to CVS in ext menthod for 500 users [13:41] okay I installed the drivers now :) [13:41] guys, I want to remove Cedega, how do you make a proper uninstall using Ubuntu? [13:41] mrNotYou: try changing to another repository in synaptic. if you get a 500 error on every .gz file you try to download, i blame your ISP. it might even be some kind of virus scanner that's crashing when it tries to unzip .gz's [13:41] Um.. does anyone know what the terminal command to list language codes is? Also how you'd setup firestarter to start automatically, without asking for your admin password constantly? [13:42] NoCigar: GO to Synaptic, check Cedega for uninstall for complete removal :) [13:42] Hello audio problem no sound in my ubuntu with intel AC 97 :( [13:42] adamk: Before I posted the question I did a good google search.. works well in 6.06 something got channged in 8.x it looks like [13:42] is there a simple way to turn a running setup into a virtual-machine (VMWare, VirtualBox) image? [13:42] afallenhope, That means that the ssh host key has changed on the server since you previously logged in. [13:42] adamk: Anyone as in you or any one as in complete channel [13:42] mrNotYou: can you download gzips from any other sites? are you behind a corporate web proxy? [13:42] adamk, okay. how do I fix it? [13:42] linux_manju, Well, no one has answered you.. Which is usually a sign that no one knows :-) [13:42] ValentineX: You mean you can open a song player but u can't listen to the sound? [13:42] * crlcan81 really needs to learn a lot more about Ubuntu. [13:43] crlcan81: every bit learned is priceless. [13:43] maxx_: I am not behind any proxy, I'm on a home network :/ [13:43] Especially on Linux. [13:43] mrNotYou: go try to find some other gzip file on the web and see if you can download it. [13:43] afallenhope, If you are sure the server is the same, and has not been compromised, edit ~/.ssh/known_hosts and remove line 6. [13:43] maxx_: K [13:43] just wish I hadn't angered a friend of mine with my continual questions as he's the only guy I knew who knew Debian.. and he knows like nearly 20 programming languages among other things.. [13:44] mrNotYou: if you get another 500, it's definitely a hidden web cache that's fucking up [13:44] mrNotYou: yup also other no sound movies etc games or beeps through multimedia speakers === brock0811 is now known as brock081 [13:44] france [13:44] adamk, yeah it's just my ipod [13:44] how can i change my taskbar icon the k menu icon ?

[13:52] anyone know what I should do when I see: fuse: mountpoint is not empty from trying to use my ipod? [13:52] jrib, none of theme. [13:52] artti: then what are you using? [13:52] maxx_: Ok, shall I uncheck the WineHQ repository? XD :D :) =] [13:53] jrib, don't know. [13:53] I've installed virtalbox but it's telling me to install the modules for my kernel, but they aren't available. [13:53] mrNotYou: I know of a corporate web proxy that crashes when you try to download .zip files that have too many files in them. resulting in 500 errors. (it was trying to unzip to do virus checking). that's why i went down that path [13:53] artti: do you have effects enabled in Appearance properties? [13:53] maxx_: SHOOT! Again the same! Failed to fetch http://repository.akirad.net/dists/akirad-hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 500 Internal Server Error [13:53] Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

The screen goes black, I see some text like you won't on a re-boot and then I'm back at the GUI login. Once I login again, my session was closed and appears as the user (me) was logged out. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 default Gnome desktop, any idea why is is happening? [13:54] Hideme: I'm guessing video driver issues. what is your video? [13:54] hmm [13:54] artti: then you are using metacity as your window manager. You can setup keyboard shortcuts through gconf-editor under the /apps/metacity keys [13:54] Hideme: when the X server unexpectedly dies, it will throw you back out at the gdm login screen [13:55] how to make sure something (tilda) autostarts after compiz does? [13:55] jrib, but i can't find audacious in that program [13:55] can you suggest me a good C/C++ compiler for Linux (GUI if possible)? [13:55] mrNotYou: I am still not getting any sound :( [13:55] maxx_: O___O wtf?! no akirad.net repos!! o_O =/ [13:55] artti: for command you type in the path to audacious [13:55] mrNotYou: it's definitely there. otherwise apt wouldn't be trying to read from it. [13:56] maxx_: gdm being the graphic login you'd on any install even if the video driver were incorrect or not functioning correctly? I have an Nvida card, think I'm using the "restricted" drivers too. [13:56] *Nvidia [13:56] Hi, In my "preferred applications" under the multimedia tab there is only an option for multimedia player. How cn I get the other options like what to do on inserting CD etc [13:56] NicEXE: compiler is gcc. Use any text editor you want to write your code. You may be looking for an IDE. Anjuta is an IDE, try that [13:56] how can i figure out if my process is able to run at 64 bit?

[13:56] model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz [13:56] that's what /proc/cpuinfo says [13:57] jrib, now i found something, i take a look [13:57] cpu_family 15 and model 4 [13:57] zamba: It can do 64bit [13:57] linux_manju: how can you tell? [13:57] zamba: The architecture does :) [13:57] Good morning... [13:57] ... anyone have any documentation on setting up LVM on RAID for 8.04.1?

[14:00] maxx_ Not really... as it closes my session and I am forced to login again. I can view the log after the "crash" though. [14:00] waan: what does 'uname -r' return? [14:00] maxx_: Lol, ok thanks! :) =] [14:00] zamba: Try Ultimate boot cd [14:00] jrib, the same [14:01] Hideme: that's fine.. just something to help diagnose why it's crashing [14:01] linux_manju: but i mean, how could you tell so quickly that my cpu could run 64 bit? [14:01] jrib, generic [14:01] linux_manju: you just "knew"? [14:01] okay I've got the latest drivers now, but how do I configure my monitor? [14:01] Hideme: also perhaps try updating your video drivers [14:01] anyone good with nvidia errors with kernel update? http://pastebin.com/m366c623 [14:01] zamba: Yes. because I am running a 64bit FreeBSD on the same hardware/proc [14:01] NoCigar: does nvidia-settings run? [14:01] maxx_: yes :) [14:02] linux_manju: same stepping and model and all that? it is a dual core? [14:02] NoCigar: there you go then.

[14:02] hey, is there anyway to 'regain control' of a terminal you used to run a program [14:03] smm289: What are you looking for exactly? [14:03] smm289: you shouldn't really have a reason to need to know that though [14:03] maxx_: there's nowhere I can edit which modes it should use though [14:03] ie - i just ran $conky but then i can't use that terminal again [14:03] mikeyfbi: ctrl-z will susped the process and put it in the background [14:03] ok, one last question.. can the ubuntu installer for the server set up raid-1?

Has only happened once a day for the last 4 days. Not in a specific application, but perhaps when I'm minimizing a window (MAYBE). [14:04] jrib, I have security and recommended updates turned off, but I did enable them and then reload the sources list but the modules package still wasnt available [14:04] Hipska: which is the same as your own password [14:05] linux_manju: yeah, but that's for pentium D :) [14:05] waan: ok, can you pastebin? [14:05] jrib, thanks, i got it work [14:05] jrib, sure [14:05] linux_manju: i have pentium 4 [14:05] jrib ah, so there's no way to leave the program running and still regain control? [14:05] ok, will try it [14:05] NoCigar: oh, i see. you can manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to only allow certain configurations. [14:05] waan: you need universe by the way [14:05] maxx_: do you know any good guide for doing that?

I didn't give you the deb-src lines (just copy the line and change "deb" to "deb-src" if you want them) though. deb-src lets you grab the source of a package [14:15] bobertdos, i can read email, just not send it...

[14:49] ludoskin, this is for ubuntu support not friend chat [14:49] jrib, thx, that worked! [14:50] ActionParsnip: The SAs already have a VMWare Image, so I'll use vmware if at all possible. [14:50] sipior: so then I dont need to do anything special to get individual services running from inetd to reread thier configs? [14:50] What you sau [14:50] can i use /var/lib/dpkg under two processes or more? [14:50] CSWookie: id rather compile those for better performance rather than ease, virtual box is installable with apt-get [14:50] r-p: shouldn't do, no [14:50] It's stuck on a nonexistant drive. [14:50] ludoskin This channel is for support only (in English) [14:50] ludoskin, #ubuntu-rs <------click that link [14:51] can i use /var/lib/dpkg under two processes or more?

[14:51] edaoman, no [14:51] edaoman no [14:51] r-p: services run by inetd are despatched as inetd sees the requests, there's no persistent daemon, aside from inetd.

[14:59] edaoman: are you getting dns information from a dhcp server? [14:59] pepe_swash I dont see that in this computer.. but /join #compiz they will know right off [14:59]  how can i set the /etc/resolv.conf:search private (nameserver 202.97.224.69),every time i reboot the system,it recovers to :nameserver 192.168.1.1? i am using a rutor [14:59] need some suggest to chose best irc for my ubuntu [15:00] yes [15:00] !irc | c_ronaldo [15:00] c_ronaldo: 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 [15:00] Jack_Sparrow: yes, will do that right now. thanks a bunch [15:00] edaoman: easier if you mention the nick of the person you're talking to, to aid in demuxing... [15:00] c_ronaldo: in linux there is no "best" [15:00] ok thanks guys. One more question is it possible for me to create links to directories outside of a chroot ? [15:01] pepe_swash Sorry, I usually have that type of info handy.. I thought it was in the 2k [15:01] how about similar? [15:01] r-p: good question but im not sure [15:01] c_ronaldo: similar to what? [15:01] c_ronaldo Do you mean best IRC client? [15:01] Jack_Sparrow: should not. i've been using it with a dual 1440*900 with a nvidia8600gt.. [15:01] !client [15:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about client [15:02] r-p: i believe it won't work, because the path will be interpreted in the context of the new root [15:02] right [15:02] !best | c_ronaldo [15:02] c_ronaldo: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:02] pepe_swash right.. but still high 2's [15:02] r-p: also, i think it defeats the purpose of a chroot, right? [15:02] c_ronaldo: try a few and see which you prefer [15:03] c_ronaldo: i use pidgin as I use a whole swathe of protocols so it has become me single chat client [15:03] sorry i didn't mean, i just want problem solver [15:03] c_ronaldo xchat is one of the more popular, and is easy to configure to look like whatever client you are used to using === Zerocxis is now known as Zerocxis_ [15:03] c_ronaldo: millions dislike pidgin and prefer xchat or bitchx [15:03] r-p: a hard link might do it; easy enough to test. [15:03] c_ronaldo Pidgin is one of the worst IRC clients we have [15:03] ok i will try. thanks for your suggestion [15:04] c_ronaldo sudo apt-get install schat [15:04] c_ronaldo sudo apt-get install xchat [15:04] c_ronaldo: see, i like it, Jack_Sparrow hates it, its all personal choice, there is no best [15:04] Jack i cant use xchat at all [15:04] we really tried to fix it, everytime i try to start it it opens and closes [15:04] st3ph: thats why there are multitudes of alternatives [15:05] agreed, there is not best.. we have a channel of bots if you want to do polls on what people use and prefer [15:05] !pols [15:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about pols [15:05] !polls [15:05] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[15:08] all windows lost top menu bar or Just xchat [15:08] Jack_Sparrow: just fyi, maximum compiz res is the one of maximum texture size supported by hardware.

[15:16] ActionParsnip, thanks, isn't the SDL_image library in the repos? and i want to know the common command to find package containing some file like rpm provides some_file gets it in fedora [15:16] yeah,but the first DNS server is 192。168。1。1 === antivirax_ is now known as antivirax [15:17] st3ph you can also try metacity --replace [15:17] i have to change it another to connect internet [15:18] !find SDL_image [15:18] edaoman: you can configure your machine not to use dhcp. specify a fixed ip address in the network configuration tool. [15:18] File SDL_image found in Use, of, uninitialized, value, in (and 32 others) [15:18] edaoman: otherwise, you can configure dhcp not to receive dns information, but for a small home network, it's just easier to turn it off and use fixed ip addresses.

[15:56] sipior: tcpdump output is on http://paste.ubuntu.com/46262 [15:57] nicoleamy, you mean "the" broken file? [15:57] xomp: yes [15:57] nicoleamy, ok, just checking.. [15:58] hckoe: nothing obviously broken. can you telnet to 9100 on printbox. does that work without a hitch? [15:58] nicoleamy: what's the issue? [15:58] xomp: why don't you tell him about the locate command? It can locate the broken file like this: $ locate broken [15:59] Bandman614: i don't know, when i went to update manager, it says that i got a broken file, it also says press to locate to locate the file [15:59] nicoleamy have you made any changes or aditions to your sources list [16:00] sipior: yes, that works. [16:00] I have a strange problem. I have to laptops, and one of them cant see my home wireless network (WPA) no more ... (havent changed any settings or anything). It doesnt show in network manager, or on "iwlist scan" ... What can possibly be wrong? [16:00] jack_sparrow: what do you mean by the sources list? [16:00] !sources [16:00] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [16:00] GnarusLeo_Main, it depends on what happened between then and now ;) [16:01] what did you change [16:01] ? [16:01] so... any one up for answering from questions? [16:01] sipior: printer panel already says printing. But then no more packages are sent or received from both sides. The same file on gutsy works without problems. [16:01] allquixotic, nothing [16:01] !ask | killa_: [16:01] killa_:: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [16:01] ahhh [16:02] allquixotic, but it SHOULD show up in the list either way! [16:02] I am trying to search for a word which is inside a file (not the name of the file). How do I do that? The word is in a plain text file [16:02] GnarusLeo_Main: a static system that has no software changes, no updates, no new programs, no hardware changes, no hardware defects, etc. will not suddenly go from working to not working, so obviously something happened. to figure out what happened, you may have to get imaginative about what happened. did someone else using the computer update or something? [16:02] allquixotic, all my other computers can find it [16:02] Guys, do you know how one forces X to only use a certain resolutions and refresh rates? [16:02] i can see all my folders and files in my cdrom0 but i cannot copy them to my hard drive [16:03] killa_ Are you trying to copy them to Desktop or some other folder [16:03] allquixotic, ok, ive been on linux for several years, I am an educated civil engineer computer scientist. So believe me when I say that "nothing of importance happened between then and now" [16:03] my desktop [16:03] yesterday i've tried installing the flashplugin but didn't work so other staff asked me to install the ubuntu restricted plugins [16:03] killa_ what error [16:03] hckoe: what's the size of the file being put on netcat's stdin? [16:04] "error reading from file: input/output error" [16:04] GnarusLeo_Main: ok, excuse me then, if you are a computer scientist then you should surely be able to understand that troubleshooting something like "X was working before and it doesn't now" requires more information than that mere fact [16:04] killa_ all cd's or just the one [16:04] When I install Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop on a Workstation. How much space, does it consume directly after installation (aprox.)? [16:04] how to like "zoom out" in mplayer? watching 1080p on my laptop with like a 720p screen so im only seeing zoomed in at the middle of the movie.. [16:04] all cds, burned, and bought [16:04] nomike 4gig [16:04] thx [16:05] hello [16:05] i can copy text files oddly enough, but no luck with media files or executables... [16:05] allquixotic, there are no more facts to give ... both "wlanconfig ath0 list scan" nor "iwlist scan" nor network-manager gives me the AP ... what more can you possibly need? [16:05] nomike You can reduce that, [16:05] what version is linux x86 as i am trying to manual install a adobe flash player [16:05] allquixotic, though it does on my computer right next to it, which is also using the same distro, same upgrades, even the same freakin wireless drivers/card! [16:05] !flash [16:05] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [16:05] i get with update-modules: * The update-modules command is deprecated and should not be used! [16:06] is this command replaced [16:06] i've a friend currently running an ubuntu cut down to ~12Mb, so there's a lot you can get rid of :-) [16:06] GnarusLeo_Main: So the one laptop is utterly unaware of the fact that the SSID is being broadcast from the AP, or you can see the SSID but can't connect? [16:06] sipior: file is about 400k. It's the cups test-page output captured from cups. First i thought it's a cups problem (socket and lpd did'nt work on hardy anymore). But then cut it down to this simple command. [16:06] allquixotic, can't see the AP, and the SSID is beeing broadcast [16:07] is the installation version tar.gz or .rpm? [16:07] hello [16:07] Jack_Sparrow: Well, my problem is, that I want ubuntu on my corp. latptop and i'm not allowed to install it. So i was wondering if it's enough when I buy a 8GiB USB-Stick and use it for apps, and drop my user-data somewhere on my NTFS-Partition on the laptop harddrive... [16:07] nicoleamy we dont use rpm's [16:08] nomike You can run it off usb and you can have a second partition on the usb for data === GnarusLeo_Main is now known as GnarusLeo [16:08] #python [16:08] use alien for convert .rpm to .debs [16:08] sipior: i have this problem with lan and wlan connection. [16:08] GnarusLeo_Main: you might check for a hardware wireless killswitch (thinkpads...) or key combination to activate/deactivate it (presarios...) - barring that, I'm assuming you've rebooted, and tried lspci to make sure the system is aware of the wireless hardware [well, if it's not in lspci, it's probably dead :)] [16:08] hckoe: bizarre that it should stop working. do you have two separate machines for testing, or just one machine with two linux installs? [16:08] nomike and that second partition can be ntfs if you want to get to it from windows [16:08] jack_sparrow: do you use ta.gz or yum repository definition? [16:09] hckoe: would be curious to see the difference in the strace output between the two. though that would be a lot of data... [16:09] KingLenchx It seldom works and is not adviseable [16:09] allquixotic, heres the kicker ... I can connect to my neighbours WEP AP any day .. [16:09] !rpm [16:09] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [16:09] sipior: i have a dual boot notebook with gutsy and hardy and a vmware intrepid. [16:09] jack_sparrow: was that "flash" deal intended for me (cd problems)? [16:09] hey does anyone know why when i try to test php scripts on localhost it gives me a file download ? i just installed lamp [16:09] no [16:09] ah [16:10] GnarusLeo_Main: check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages using `tail -f`... while you have that running in a terminal, do a modprobe -r on the wireless drivers, re-modprobe them, and try to connect to the AP by using iwconfig [16:10] khin /join #Apache === johnny is now known as j0hnny === j0hnny is now known as j0hn [16:10] sipior: i have the complete strace output of both. Let me paste it. Just a moment! [16:10] hckoe: could you just paste the diff? [16:10] how many ubuntu's are there? [16:10] my real issue is that phpmyadmin is not found at localhost/phpmyadmin even though it is supposedly installed [16:10] GnarusLeo_Main: If your wireless card is functional, and the driver is able to recognize the wifi card, and it's mostly working except for your particular AP, then trying to force an ssid to associate with via iwconfig should give you some interesting messages in syslog or /var/log/messages if there are errors associating. [16:11] Don Miguel are you the same guy that made the RPG Maker ports? === j0hn is now known as j0hn_ [16:11] nicoleamy One current release and many spinoofs that we do not support === j0hn_ is now known as _j0hnny_ [16:11] allquixotic, yeah, the log didnt gave me anything, and re-modprobing them doesnt do anything specific .. [16:11] <_j0hnny_> there finally worked [16:11] hckoe: actually, probably won't matter, now that i think of it. too many lines different even in the best case [16:11] <_j0hnny_> Does anyone know anything about splashy? [16:11] allquixotic, ok, Ill try ... like "iwconfig ath0 essid " and see if it can connect to AP?`And check the log? [16:12] yes [16:12] <_j0hnny_> I'm using Splashy and its not displaying right [16:12] how do i find the broken file? [16:12] <_j0hnny_> Is it just better to use USplash? [16:12] how do i reset my screen res? i tried in preferences but it only gives me 800x600? [16:12] but since you're using WPA, you'll need to start wpasupplicant manually too [16:12] I just installed kdm and set it as the default login manager. The trouble is, every time i log in, the .ICE authority permissions get changed to root, and I have to reset them manually before i can log in via kdm. How can i avoid this? [16:12] anyone recommend good disk imaging tools for ubuntu? [16:12] because simply putting in the essid won't get you past authentication without wpasupplicant [16:12] command line preferred [16:12] allquixotic, of course ... ok, give me a min [16:13] KaiForce, dd [16:13] GnarusLeo: I've had problems like this before with flaky wireless APs/routers, and a reboot of the router fixed it. In one case I even had to factory reset the router to get a PC to see it... didn't touch the PC's configuration, and before the router reset it was broken; after reset (and entering all the same old settings) it worked [16:13] KaiForce: clonezilla [16:13] <_j0hnny_> USplash worked good maybe I should switch back to that? [16:13] anyone have luck with an LG CD/DVD RW? in ubuntu 8.04? [16:13] <_j0hnny_> Instead of using Splashy? [16:13] clonezilla support compression? [16:13] how do i reload my screen settings? [16:13] KaiForce: yes, several [16:13] allquixotic, actually, I agree. Im more suspicious on the router then my laptop settigns .. [16:14] or reset? [16:14] atlef: thanks, I will check it out [16:14] KaiForce: you are welcome [16:14] allquixotic, Ill troubleshoot some more. Thanks for your input! [16:14] GnarusLeo: more recent wireless standards have been diverging in compatibility between vendors, and vendors have been getting worse and worse about compliance to standards [16:14] I LOVE UBUNTU! ;D [16:14] how do i locate a broken file? I went on the update manager and it says that i've got a broken file [16:14] Can anyone help me out? [16:14] GnarusLeo: if you're not using plain old 802.11b with no proprietary extensions, I'd worry that maybe the router and the PC are not speaking because of a compatibility issue [16:14] please [16:14] sipior: working strace is on http://paste.ubuntu.com/46265, failing strace on http://paste.ubuntu.com/46266. [16:15] atlef: wow, clonezilla looks awesome! [16:15] !helpme > johnny [16:15] johnny, please see my private message === johnny is now known as Guest27754 [16:15] KaiForce: it is great [16:15] [Q] I like amarok but im not using kbuntu, will istalling and using on ubuntu create problems? [16:15] solexious: no [16:15] allquixotic, that may be so, but that doesnt explain why it worked a few days ago ... (or maybe it does, who knows ...) [16:15] solexious nope === Guest27754 is now known as _j0hnny_ [16:16] allquixotic, but a compability issue is deffinatly an opportunity! [16:16] <_j0hnny_> !helpme [16:16] Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [16:16] Jack_Sparrow: how do i locate a broken file? [16:16] concern* [16:17] ** Thanks both [16:17] allquixotic, im also suspecting the wireless drivers. (madwifi spot on), and they may be fooling me. But ok, thanks again [16:17] why would I be able to see my files on my cdrom but not be able to copy them - input/output error? [16:17] Just moved to ubuntu from debian and noticed that all my color output in my bash script has stopped working. I.e this should output the names in color echo -e "My favorite color is /033[38;5;148mYellow-Green/033[39m" [16:18] GnarusLeo, if you have an atheros card, you might try the recently released ath5k driver which is open source [16:18] I need help! [16:18] allquixotic, I will! [16:18] GnarusLeo, I doubt Hardy distributes it because the Atheros guy I met at LinuxPicnic 08 told me it wasn't going to be usable until September - but Fedora switched to it by default and it runs well I hear [16:18] killa_: have you tried : gksu nautilus [16:18] How can I stop kdm from messing up the permissions on my ~/.ICEauthority files? I have to reset them manually every time before I log in via kdm. [16:19] allquixotic, so what did he recommend? madwifi compile? [16:19] atlef WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported [16:19] GnarusLeo, he recommended ath5k for people who are either having problems with madwifi already, or who can handle a bit of potential badness [16:19] Kgee: are you using sudo on graphical apps? [16:19] but in your case, hey, ANYthing is better than what you have [16:19] !gksudo [16:19] 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) [16:19] allquixotic, :) [16:19] hckoe: these look more or less identical to me [16:20] !gksu > atlef [16:20] atlef, please see my private message [16:20] GnarusLeo, I'm pretty sure ath5k compiles and runs fine by now, I've heard a LOT of talk from end users about it in the OpenSUSE and Fedora and Mandriva worlds... it may even be in Intrepid, not sure [16:20] I don't have an atheros card so I don't know the latest on it, just what I heard at the picnix [16:21] Jack_Sparrow: which do you run from terminal and which from alt-f2? [16:21] sipior: Yes, execpt for the short write. And that's the moment where communication stops. [16:21] gkusudo nautilus loads... but whats the going to do for me? [16:21] I has an atheros card and no version of ubuntu supports it lol :3 [16:21] killa_: can you copy [16:21] allquixotic, Ill give it a go anyways. As you said, anythings better then this [16:22] same error [16:22] cannot read from source [16:22] Jack_Sparrow, not using sudo to run graphical apps. I did a sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm to switch to kdm, and now its failing to let me log in. [16:22] but i can see all my files??? its so weird and frustrating [16:22] killa_: ok, sorry then [16:22] anyone run on asus M3A78, if so, how does it work ? [16:22] killa_, copyright protection? [16:23] <_j0hnny_> Am I allowed to ask questions about non-Ubuntu items. Such as Splashy? [16:23] hckoe: there is a series of writes in both traces, block size 8192, both terminating in a 7947 byte write. the two files are 46265 amd 46266, right? [16:23] <_j0hnny_> Or do I need to go to a special Splashy channel for that [16:23] how do you download flash player 9 ubuntu linux? [16:23] it does the same for all cd's but i have got some errors that point in that direction (copyright issue) [16:23] nicoleamy: we are on 10 now === laptop_ is now known as rastafarix [16:24] _j0hnny_, if so, it's probably #ubuntu-splashy :3 === alain is now known as Guest33669 [16:24] ok [16:24] how do i download flash player 10 for ubuntu linux? [16:24] nicoleamy: so just update [16:24] <_j0hnny_> thank you xomp thats why nobody answered me. I'm in the wrong place for that question. [16:24] <_j0hnny_> I'll join there. Thanks guys.

Welcome to #ubuntu! [16:38] atlef: Autoclean just clears out the local repository of retrieved package files. I have a lot of packages installed as dependencies of the kde 4 pseudo package that show up in autoremove because I removed kdegames, which also removes the pseudo package. Maybe it's not possible... [16:39] °° [16:39] hello~ [16:39] i gtg have all a nice evening/day :d [16:39] Flash with firefox 64 possible? [16:39] how do i type chinese on ubuntu linux? [16:39] hey could someone answer a hardware question [16:39] !ask | justabitcrazee [16:39] justabitcrazee: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [16:39] joombaga: what about residual config? [16:40] joombaga: /lastlog joombaga [16:40] oops [16:40] Jack_Sparrow: well it's mainly my monitor i want to be detected and keeping the settings, will nvidia settings correct that ? [16:40] I'm downloading ubuntu now, but I'm wondering what options I will have with my ATI All in Wonder 9600, ie. Will Ubuntu pick up my TV tuner? [16:40] Residual config? [16:40] xmagixx it turns out that all of the nvidia drivers, ubuntu or official, have severe issues detecting the monitor, so we need to install the nvidia GUI configuration tool, which detects the right monitor, but also allows manual configuration of the driver and xconf directly [16:40] atlef: Residual config? [16:40] joombaga: autoremove gets calculated each time you run it, I believe. [16:40] how can I enable TV-out [16:40] joombaga: in synaptic [16:41] Jack_Sparrow: ahh okey, well i [16:41] Flannel: Okay, well it shows packages I'm using [16:41] Jack_Sparrow: i'll give it a try, hope it works hehe else is there a way to boot up so i can change things back if it doesnt work ? [16:41] justabitcrazee: is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=164513 what you're looking for? [16:42] joombaga: That's possible. Why are you trying to use it in the first place? [16:42] how do I then install nVidia GUI [16:42] xmagixx For nvidia card/chipset users ... sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings .. Note this can cause issues on restart.. I had to use recovery mode and sudo apt-get remove nvidia-settings then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to get back a decent screen res (see the last part) [16:42] techno_freak: do i know you? [16:42] Jack_Sparrow: thanks i'll give it a try [16:42] k [16:42] Rimen: iirc it is in the add/remove [16:42] Flannel: Are you asking why I'm trying to use apt-get --autoremove? [16:43] joombaga: indeed [16:43] Hello, my initramfs tries to execute udevsettle but I want it to execute udevadm, how do I change the initramfs script? [16:44] zoed - Somewhat, but I know that the TV tuner is finicky when its trying to be picked up in windoze as well as other distros of linux and sometimes is not recognized [16:44] Flannel: because it's nice to use after you remove a package with a lot of dependencies. [16:44] Maybe I should just play around with it [16:45] justabitcrazee: sorry, I don't have a TV tuner card myself, so I never used one with ubuntu. [16:45] Flannel: and you don't need those extra packages anymore [16:45] joombaga:i always use autoremove [16:45] zoed, no thats ok thanks for the link, it may prove useful anyways [16:45] joombaga: I was asking for specifics. I'm well aware of what autoremove does. [16:45] can someone tell me why firefox or any other browser sometimes doest and sometimes do play sound from flash clips like from Youtube [16:45] justabitcrazee: You could try out the ubuntu live-cd and check whether your tuner works with it. [16:46] joombaga: Well, as far as it knows, those four games are just those sorts of packages. You could simulate the autoremove, then get the list and tweak it how you wanted, then manually remove the edited list of packages.

[17:22] ajay, i would guess... #wine [17:22] if the drive has to be mounted, then try using a gparted live cd, or another live cd [17:22] #winehq ajay [17:22] netsurf3 You dont need firestarter to use the internet in ubuntu. this isnt Windows [17:22] lol thanks for the links, will definately get me started, thanks all [17:22] !firewall [17:22] 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). [17:22] Jack_Sparrow, i know its not windows [17:23] i am a linux user for 5 years [17:23] but i have never used firestarter [17:23] netsurf3, you behind a router? [17:23] I have used Ubuntu for a year now [17:23] me neither [17:23] netsurf3 Why are you using firestarter, generally it is not needed. [17:23] i am but i still want a firewall [17:23] netsurf3, dependign on your needs theres other firewall front ends [17:23] netsurf3 firestarter is NOT a firewall [17:23] netsurf3, then learn about iptables [17:24] bazhang, any good links? [17:24] Can anyone help me please with setting up my DNS settings? This is my DNS settings for my server on my colocation provider's DNS panel: http://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=13289696qy8.png. I have DNS server on my own server, but how to point this domain to my server's DNS server? I want fully working ns1.mydomain.lv server. but now it seems that ns1.mydomain.lv is not working (I can't... [17:24] ...send and recieve e-mails). My DNS server was working with old DNS settings in my colocation provider's admin panel but I deleted old settings and can't remember them. I hope You'll help me! Thank You! [17:24] jurism, flood [17:24] netsurf3, yes; man iptables [17:24] so what causes the GRUB freeze (just the words GRUB at the top left) after a partition resize, is it just the change in UUID, or could more have gone wrong? [17:24] fair enough [17:24] Jack_Sparrow: http://www.fs-security.com/ is a firewall [17:24] hey guys whats up [17:24] how ya'll doin [17:24] I currently have a Windows Vista Desktop [17:25] zoed I know what it is.. and it is NOT a firewall [17:25] With Quadcore CPU, adaptec hardware raid5 etc [17:25] Jack_Sparrow: ok [17:25] Jack_Sparrow, hmm sorry i ment i still want to be able to configure my firewall [17:25] !ask | stylist [17:25] stylist: 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. :-) [17:25] netsurf3 leanr iptable management [17:25] guys, i have a homepc with a good sound device. now if i am somewhere with a notebook playing any music file, i'd like to use the soundcard of my homepc over network. is only esd what i need? or are there any other tools? [17:25] hey does anyone why i cannot access phpmyadmin . i installed lamp + phpmyadmin today on hardy. phpmyadmin is not at localhost/phpmyadmin . i tried a sym link sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www but then firefox says phpmyadmin is a PHTML file and can't open it. fixes? [17:26] I want to buy a 32GB OCZ Core Series OCZ (all I can afford) for $130USD, and dual boot it on my quadcore vista desktop. Is 32GB enough for a full install of Ubuntu with lots of apps like OpenOffice and Firefox etc ? [17:26] cheers ubottu ;) [17:26] stylist, yes [17:26] lynucs, thats supposed to be some new 'feature' of pulseaudio also.. but ive never made it work. [17:26] netsurf3 most people are less secure when they use front ends like firestarter then they would if they just let the iptables do their job [17:26] bazhang i never asked to ask :P [17:26] ok nice [17:26] hello.back again. it worked perfectly. ! but i wonder one more thing. i have a acer aspire 7720z. the sound is low and the "mouse" buttons that you can scroll up and down whit is scrolling wrong way..... [17:26] stylist, that is more than enough :) [17:26] i am so happy bazhang :) [17:26] anyone help me from the cli to check if the desktop has been installed.. I did a txt installer.. said to load the desktop.. but it put me to the cli and I cant seem to get X running [17:27] lynucs, you could run the media player on the good sound pc. and have its 'gui/display' show up locally also. with ssh/X forwarding or vnc, or xdmcp , and so forth [17:27] I am so excited to boot Ubuntu on my quadcore desktop of a *FAST* 32GB SSD :-) say hello to compiz, kicker etc [17:27] * dr_willis dosent want to see that credit card bill stylist :) [17:27] Jack_Sparrow, does ubuntu come configured? [17:27] Bikerbob: run aptitude search ubuntu-desktop | grep "^i" [17:28] stylist: i hope you say hello to 64bit as well [17:28] dr_willis: then the files should be available on the homepc or shared over nfs.. that's what i would like to avoid [17:28] netsurf3 If you want to test the tables, boot a live cd and go to grc.com and do the shields up test of your ports [17:28] atlef: What cons and benefits does running the 64bit version of Ubuntu have ?/ [17:28] netsurf3, no iptables does not come configured [17:28] that should be really just the sound signal [17:28] Because I'll be using 32bit by default, unless I see reasons to go 64bit [17:28] bazhang, so you effectively run naked for all new users [17:29] lynucs, does it really matter... :) do what you want.. this is linux.. theres proberly a dozen other ways to do it as well. but that 'using the other pc's sound card' was supposed tobe a new feature in PulseAudio. No idea if it actually works [17:29] Im concerned about application stability, and driver support under 64bit Ubuntu. I did at least have those problems attempting to use 64bit Windows [17:29] !pulse [17:29] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [17:29] stylist stick with 32bit until you get a better feel for how things work.. Unless you have over 4 gigs of ram, you dont really need 64 [17:29] Sorry not application stability, application compatibility ;) [17:29] !gnu [17:29] G(NU's) N(ot) U(nix).

[17:30] 32bit then :) [17:30] 32bit it will be ;) [17:30] lol [17:31] bazhang: why [17:31] gharz: export PATH="$PATH:/my/new/bin" [17:31] Hey - Can anyone tell me how to unblock a port - i.e. 6667 ? [17:31] bazhang: just want to know [17:31] atlef very little speed increase, chroot and flash issues [17:32] Jack_Sparrow: ok, no such problem here [17:32] !worksforme [17:32] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [17:32] In 64bit, I have the problem I can't play any dvds [17:33] atlef: stylist: I would suggest using 32-bit for now .. for third party app compatibility and less headache with some packages .. while 64bit does work fine, if you don't have a real use .. you will see little benefit .. so unless you have an app that needs to use over 2 gig address space or you have over 4 gigs of ram .. it's not worth running [17:33] ok so i have found that Duplicity, Simple Backup, backupzilla, and HomeUserbackup are the main backup programs out there. any reccomendations between those apps for a new ubuntu user? though im not afraid of the CL, im just new to ubuntu. [17:33] hmm I see there is kubuntu and Ubuntu, with Kubuntu using the KDE, since I want the Vista like kicker/kickoff start menu am I better off downloading Kubuntu, or if I download Ubuntu is switching to KDE as simple as choosing KDE in the login screen? [17:33] Hi :) I'm trying to reset my Asus EEE PC and I won't to mount a usbstick manually, it's "located" ind /dev/sdb1 but how do I mount it?

This is my DNS settings for my server on my colocation provider's DNS panel: http://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=13289696qy8.png. I have DNS server on my own server, but how to point this domain to my server's DNS server? I want fully working ns1.mydomain.lv server. but now it seems that ns1.mydomain.lv is not working. Thank You! [17:34] Bikerbob: no, type (without the [ and ]): [aptitude search ubuntu-desktop] [17:35] atlef: I said over 4 gigs .. but even 32bit version supports over 4gigs of RAM with PAE mode [17:35] The command will give you some text output [17:35] Jack_Sparrow, dd? copy the ubuntu install? [17:35] bigmack83 copy any partition or drive.. yes [17:35] jerone: ok, but that mean you have to conigure it, 64bit supports it out of the box [17:35] atlef: it's mainly for applications that require a lot of virtual address space .. and 64bit giving access to more registers which give "some" performance boost to regular apps but not much [17:36] bigmack83 or tar it up... tar cvpzf backupdell.tgz --exclude=/backupdell.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/dev --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/media --exclude=/root/.Trash -- / [17:36] jerone: oh, i have been using it since rc hardy [17:36] atlef: what I'm saying is that if you want to use 3rd party stuff .. say skype .. then 64bit becames a not worth it unless you are using it [17:36] Is it easy to install ubuntu onto a macbook pro ? [17:36] atlef: so have I [17:36] Can you guys move the 32 to 64 bit discussion to offtopic please [17:37] jack-desktop, ok so im assuming that will still copy all system files needed for boot. Well what i was looking for was either an incremental setup so new files are added when running backup. or something similar [17:37] jerone: and have not found any reason to use 32bit [17:37] bigmack83 I keep a spare partition for full backups.. [17:37] Jack_Sparrow: by all means, but not just yet. :-) [17:37] atlef Now please [17:37] zoed: it gives and I am using Kubuntu p kubuntu-desktop - Kubuntu desktop system [17:37] Jack_Sparrow, ok i see that copies all but temp stuff, handy to know [17:38] does the p mean installed?

[17:56] nathanielneall: after it is finished installing, look through the applications menu. Probably there will be be a launcher there. === mijinm is now known as kazanova [17:56] (I'd guess in Sound & Video) [17:57] Quark_: dunno about the server but ubuntu has no firewall enabled by default. it simply does not have anything listenening on any port by default [17:57] Hi all does ubuntu 8.04 have native mp3 support? [17:57] where could I find a list of kernel "suspend error" codes? I can't suspend one USB device, it gives error -16 [17:57] no [17:57] you have to download a codec pack st9 [17:58] but if you are online there will be no problem just 2 clicks === Hondo_Kitsune is now known as HK_Away [17:58] OK, I have a file server running ubuntu 8.04 and a laptop running 8.04. The filer server shares files with linux and windows clients. I had samba setup properly and sharing was possible with each of the client types. I wanted to start over with the sharing and set it up from scratch, for practice. I uninstalled samba on the file server. When I went to create a share by using Nautilus right click sharing options, Natilus automaticall [17:59] Quark_: maybe you have to open the ports on the router? [18:01] when sharing files with a default ubuntu 8.04 on two systems what protocal should the shares be using. Right now both 8.04 systems seem to be sharing with samba [18:01] when i want to rebuild kernel for xen i have to use this AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules custom-binary-xen how can i specify 64 bit to that build command [18:01] erUSUL: GRC shows the port 6666-6667 as closed. I have installed ircd-hybrid. [18:01] smm289: use sftp, only use samba with windows. [18:02] i dont have a input picture with my webcam in the adobe flash player ! what i have to do ! [18:02] what to do to see the whole picture in mplayer, im plain a 1080p video on a 720p monitor, and only seeing the center === kazanova is now known as srculence [18:02] Quark_: as i said you probably must open (forward or do nat) on your router to your server on those ports [18:03] i understand that. In 8.04 Nautalis has a right click option that says sharing options, when I enable sharing for a particular folder it enables the share, but by default it seems to be using samba, is this how it should work? [18:03] smm289: yes, samba is used for that. [18:03] erUSUL: There is no router. The server is connected directly to the net [18:04] Quark_: i see. does "sudo iptables -L" show any rules enabled? [18:04] ok, so in that case samba is being used to share files for linux clients and windows clients, kind of a catch all sharing option? === sm is now known as Guest11447 [18:04] erUSUL: No [18:04] Quark_: then the problem is elsewhere (maybe on the irc server configuration) [18:04] hi, if i have shell commands in a text file, how can i execute those commands? [18:05] (it is not a script, it is just commands) [18:05] smm289: yeah, so that windows people don't come here shouting they can't access shared folders... [18:05] ooh, good question I am interested! [18:05] amt2s question that is [18:06] I could be wrong, but I think you're looking to create bash scripts [18:06] gottcha, thanks for the info [18:06] amt2: probably, if its one command per line, it IS a bash script. Try executing it with "bash filename" [18:06] This is probably a long shot, but I'll try anyway: Dual-booting Ubuntu and Vista on a Dell laptop. Does anyone happen to know whether Dell's "Windows reinstall" tool (from backup partition) will wipe everything or play nice and only touch my Windows partition? (I want to reinstall Windows but rather not have to also reinstall Ubuntu) [18:07] erUSUL: I thought "apt-get install" performed configuration? [18:07] amt2: you can paste the file in http://pastebin.ubuntu.com, and then I can check if it looks like a valid bash script. [18:07] antisense yes it will [18:08] antisense: yes it will [18:08] Quark_: some but not all ... maybe the server is nly listening in localhost no the eth interface by default lackas a nme etc [18:08] Quark_: search the web for a good how to [18:08] sushiX, as in "it will wipe everything" or "it will wipe the Windows partition only"? :) [18:08] thnaks [18:09] amt2: I need the url. [18:09] zoed, but there is another command [18:09] i jsut forgot it [18:09] there is a bash shell command [18:09] in which you jsut can run any commands in a text file [18:09] antisense: it repartition the drives to the factory settings but y dont u reinstall ubuntu after that ?? [18:10] you mean ". textfile" or "source textfile"? [18:10] oh, source! [18:10] yes that's it [18:10] source textfile [18:10] amt2: But that is almost the same, it just executes the commands in the same shell and doesn't start a new one like "bash filename" does. [18:10] erUSUL: Documentation is non-existent. Can you recommed a good Ubuntu IRCD? [18:11] Quark_: sorry never deployed one [18:11] sushiX, yeah, I guess I'll have to do that. It would be easier the other way, but this just means whipping out a few DVDs and backing up. Thanks!

[19:15] B_166-ER-X: have you tried envyng [19:15] _21h_: 'sudo chmod -R /path/to/shared/dir 777' [19:15] <_21h_> omg [19:15] <_21h_> do you know what is samba? [19:16] atlef , i tried ENVY isnt the same thing ? [19:16] _21h_: yes I do. That's not what you asked about, though [19:16] lol [19:16] does anyone know can I move a mount point once the system is already up? [19:16] pwned :p [19:16] <_21h_> i want to make share for all in network [19:16] B_166-ER-X: well, it should have a newer driver than synaptic [19:16] Is there a way of removing Restricted Drivers Manager? [19:16] !samba > _21h_ [19:16] _21h_, please see my private message [19:16] I think you people just can't help me [19:16] lol [19:16] does anybody know where to install libs for python? i am trying to install pyAIML so i can finish my program.. [19:17] can someone help with the alien package manager? [19:17] Bikerbob, you can't easily change anything about / (the root filesystem) after you're booted, but for most other mounts you can do an `init 1' (single user mode), umount it and mount it [19:17] uncle: do you think you might be concluding this too quickly? [19:17] soundray, its not either a big problem [19:17] hittingpilot: alien is not a package manager; alien is a way to convert RPMs to DEBs and DEBs to RPMs for example. oh and ask | hittingpilot [19:17] <_21h_> soundray, its not what i need [19:17] !ask | hittingpilot [19:17] hittingpilot: 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. :-) [19:17] what about /boot? === Guest11447 is now known as allquixotic [19:17] atlef, i tried from terminal, Old school as in hoary time. I tried with envy, i tried with the driver from the NVIDIA website, i tried with synaptic. 80% of the time i just couldnt boot, or in LOW-Res, or..in this case, with very minor support [19:18] Bikerbob: /boot isn't used after the system is actually booted, should be safe to umount it [19:18] <_21h_> soundray, after writing permissions on files must be 777 [19:18] does anybody know where to install libs for python? i am trying to install pyAIML [19:18] B_166-ER-X: sorry to hear that [19:18] soundray, i can do this all quickly via connecting my hard disk to my other system which is windows based and then i will copy all the data by installing ext2ntfs program. [19:18] Hmm, my sudo has stopped working. I'm getting the error "sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu" [19:18] I am trying to install a desktop.. it is writing a new image to the /boot but its full.. so I was thinking I could move it.. [19:19] allquixotic: right I installed it, and I have an .rpm package I need to convert, but I can't find it [19:19] Any way to fix this? [19:19] hittingpilot: what can't you find? the rpm package or alien? [19:19] _21h_: you want to set a umask then. I'm sure there is an option for it in the samba config, but I don't know how to do it in detail. Start with ubottu's help link and search for umask. [19:19] Got it. It's called jokey* now. [19:19] BlueLaguna: i also get this, but entering my password works [19:19] uncle: that sounds like a reasonable plan [19:19] allquicoctic: alien [19:19] <_21h_> soundray, umask is not i need [19:19] <_21h_> :( [19:19] <_21h_> eh ( [19:19] atlef: it's not allowing me to enter my password [19:20] soundray, it is, but i want to do this all in ubuntu can you tell me how can i set the permissions ? [19:20] allquixoctic: alien* [19:20] Bikerbob: oh, ok, you can umount /boot, use gparted to non-destructively resize /boot and / so that /boot eats some of the disk space previously allocated to / (for large drives this will take HOURS because every bit in / is going to be touched at least once) [19:20] _21h_: can you try to ask a proper question then, providing detail about your problem? [19:20] Would amd64 benefit me for running music programs? [19:20] BlueLaguna: ok, then maybe repeat your question as i do not know [19:20] Hello, I'm a newbie struggling to get networking running on a new install of Ubuntu 8.04 - is this the right place to ask some questions? [19:20] corunum not really [19:20] Bikerbob: it's a fairly risky operation so back up important data. it's less risky for non-LVM partitions -- i.e. regular IBM-compatible partitions -- and for non-weird filesystems like ext3 [19:21] corunum you dont really need a particualrly fast pc to just to run music [19:21] allquixotic: alien** [19:21] hittingpilot: alien is not a graphical program; you'll use the terminal to convert your rpm to deb [19:21] does anybody know where to install libs for python? i am trying to install pyAIML for sudo pytthon setup.py install returns "error package directory 'aiml' does not exist. so if can get help in either manual or auto i would be happy [19:21] allquixotic: can you give me a walkthrough? [19:21] hittingpilot: grudgingly [19:21] B3z3rk3r: Sorry, I meant music creating/mixing programs. Something as simple as Audacity would do, but it runs awful (I'm using 32 bit) [19:21] My sudo has stopped working. I'm getting the error "sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu" Any way to fix this? [19:22] allquixotic: thank you, I'll give you a pm [19:22] any expert here? who can help me out. [19:22] uncle: if you can't paste to a location in nautilus, then you don't have write permissions in that location as a user. The solution is to use sudo to create a user-writable directory inside the target location, or to run 'gksudo nautilus', which gives you root privileges to everything (be very careful). [19:22] corunum can u give me more specs on your rig? [19:22] hittingpilot: actually, ignore that, this is much easier than helping you step by step -- try the howto first and let me know if you run into any snags. http://www.howtoforge.com/converting_rpm_to_deb_with_alien [19:22] BlueLaguna, lock to your /etc/hosts, maybe is incorrect there [19:23] hittingpilot: I'll be around for a bit so just ping me if you get stuck [19:23] allquixotic: thanks [19:23] ok.. since boot is not used.. I am going to copy out everything else and leave enough space for it to finish the install. [19:23] ricardoromao: I can't fix my /etc/hosts because i can't sudo anymore [19:23] B3z3rk3r: I have 1 gig of ram, 1.87 gh processor, umm its a Pentium Dual-Core [19:23] Bikerbob: are you upgrading a system that's been upgraded before? I'm thinking if your /boot is full it's probably because you allocated a rather small /boot to begin with and you have several old kernels sitting around in there [19:23] BlueLaguna: and su command, works ? [19:24] corunum and your running ubuntu 8.04? [19:24] I drink PEPSI not Coca-Cola [19:24] Bikerbob: if you don't want to allocate space from / to /boot (a rather low-level operation that involves resizing your partitions as I described before) you can remove old kernels that you know you'll never need to boot again [19:24] OH HI [19:24] ricardoromao: Yes, it does [19:24] DOES WHAT? [19:24] corunum: audacity should be okay on that configuration. If it crawls, there's something else wrong other than you having a 32bit system. [19:24] B3z3rk3r: Yeah. I might have messed something up since it's HORRIBLE the way audacity runs. I have problems with ardour [19:25] !caps | HCIS_Helpdesk: [19:25] HCIS_Helpdesk:: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [19:25] corunum: having said that, music editing can be I/O heavy, and that's where amd64 installations come into their own. [19:25] BlueLaguna, so, use this to see/correct the /etc/hosts [19:25] ricardoromao: I don't know the root password === _Amenhotep is now known as _Amenhotep_ [19:25] corunum: yeah, it should be running bad at all. Comparitly, ubuntu is very lightweight as opposed to say, Vista [19:25] soundray: a friend told me to run amd64, but I wanted to verify with you guys cause i only have one gig of ram [19:26] yeah, 64bit wont really heklp you too much is your are still running 1Gb RAM.. === philwyett_ is now known as philwyett [19:26] trying to install hardy on a newer lenovo desktop and getting IO error on sda during install with a live cd.. is this a sata controller issue? [19:26] BlueLaguna, you have only sudo privilegies on the machine ? did you try the same password of sudo into su ? === _Amenhotep_ is now known as _Akhenaton_ [19:26] corunum: that's not a reason not to go for amd64. It runs very well on my wife's 1GB laptop [19:26] how to configure rtorrent ? [19:26] allquixotic: I guess I am going to do the kernel thing.. but this is the first boot of the system so I dont even know what I need there yet [19:26] ricardoromao: Yes [19:26] Bikerbob: how large is the hard drive you're installing on? [19:27] xmagixx: http://www.google.com/url?q=http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentUserGuide&sa=X&oi=smap&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=1&usg=AFQjCNGBHTM93vUBepdqbUGxshRhUmMeHw [19:27] corunum you will see a small improvement running a 64bit setup on a processor that supports it [19:27] corunum: if you have less than 4GB of RAM you gain very, very little from AMD64 [19:27] corunum however, without additional RAM, the improvment wont be really noticable [19:27] the /boot is only 30meg [19:27] corunum: and having AMD64 will actually introduce a number of problems, the solutions of which are often workable but not "easy" for a newbie, so I wouldn't recommend it [19:27] hi [19:27] allquixotic: that's not necessarily true -- remember, corunum wants to do audio processing [19:27] BlueLaguna: well where is the rtorrent.rc files localed ? [19:28] corunum exactly allquixotic, i was going to say, you will run across a lot of compatibility issues [19:28] does anybody know where to install libs for python? i am trying to install pyAIML for sudo pytthon setup.py install returns "error package directory 'aiml' does not exist. so if can get help in either manual or auto i would be happy [19:28] the whole drive is 10gig but I am using 7 for ubuntu [19:28] so basically, unless you are comfortable with re-compiling, i wouldnt reccomend it [19:28] :( [19:28] A question... I want to do something very, very simple. I want to take 10+ Gb of files/directories from a single root directory and archive them on a set of DVDs. Is there a tool in Ubuntu to do this? [19:28] allquixotic, B3z3rk3r: guys, have you actually installed a 64bit system since feisty? There are hardly any compatibility problems left ( corunum) [19:29] soundray: audio processing is done with 16-bit numbers for most PCM data and 32-bit floating point numbers for professional audio, but in no circumstance would it be more efficient or faster to use a sledgehammer (a 64-bit register or memory address) to kill an ant (a 32-bit or 16-bit number) [19:29] Hi there, I'm having trouble with my mouse. Basically, what's happening is that whenever I left-click, there are TWO click events instead of one. This is the behavior on my desktop and it's also what xev is showing me. Anyone care to help?? [19:29] xmagixx: /home/user/.rtorrent.rc [19:29] You have to create it [19:29] soundray: I used a 64-bit Hardy for 3 months and found it atrocious. Using getlibs to get skype working? Yeah, not my idea of fun. [19:29] Plus, nspluginwrapper is an awful hack for Flash. [19:29] malibu: as a backup of your system, or...? [19:29] allquixotic: you have to know what you're doing. Installing skype from medibuntu is fully transparent [19:30] Any binary blobs you download which happen to be debian packages will be marked as i386 arch so you'd have to --force them in on x86_64, even nastier [19:30] wb outbackwifi :) [19:30] tx :) [19:30] * outbackwifi is trying out weechat [19:30] lol.. not working too wel huh? [19:30] allquixotic: downloading random binary blobs as deb packages isn't good practice, anyhow [19:30] atlef: Not not a backup, I have backuppc for that. This is just an arcihive of files I have downloaded and I'm tired of splitting them up manually. So I'd like something that archives to DVD plus keeps a catalog of the files [19:31] ricardoromao: Never mind [19:31] does anybody know where to install libs for python? i am trying to install pyAIML for sudo pytthon setup.py install returns "error package directory 'aiml' does not exist. so if can get help in either manual or auto [19:31] I've set up bacula but it is terrible with DVDs [19:31] malibu: ok, not my field of expertise [19:31] BlueLaguna: did you fix ? [19:31] ricardoromao: Yes, I was trying to use su from the wrong user [19:32] allquixotic: re. Flash: newbie users will never notice that it's a hack. Can't be /that/ awful, then [19:32] :) [19:32] can you do a rm *.*?? [19:32] allquixotic: I'll give you that one about the numbers in music processing, though. I hadn't considered that. [19:32] I was thinking of making a python script for it but I was thinking there was surely a tool to do it [19:32] how do you delete a bunch of files at once? [19:32] corunum: still here? :) [19:33] * outbackwifi thinks Bikerbob is about to wipe out his distribution [19:33] Bikerbob: find / -exec rm {} \; would do it [19:33] lol yeah, just reading all the viewpoints [19:33] naaaanaaa [19:33] * B3z3rk3r giggle with outbackwifi in the corner [19:33] soundray: Okay, maybe downloading random binary blobs ISN'T a good idea; but there are still plenty that people like to use: Second Life, Shoutcast, Savage 2, Neverwinter Nights... these may rely on 32-bit libraries being on your system, and the number of 32-bit compat libs available in the 64-bit repos is much lower than the actual number of libraries available for 64-bit [19:33] does anybody know where to install libs for python? i am trying to install pyAIML for sudo pytthon setup.py install returns "error package directory 'aiml' does not exist. so if can get help in either manual or auto [19:33] does anyone use and know xchat well??? can i pvt someone??? [19:33] Bikerbob: 'rm *' works on all files that aren't directories. Please be careful [19:33] soundray: and shoutcast wouldn't be too far off for our friend who likes audio processing, since that's a streaming media server ;-) [19:33] Bikerbob : "rm -rf *.*" must wwork fine.. but make sure what u are deleting [19:34] Mr_Fixit you can just right click on someones name in X-chat [19:34] i know but i need to ask some questions that are non ubuntu related... and #xchat is dead.. [19:34] on a fresh install what is the default password for root? [19:34] allquixotic: in any case, for corunum the bottom line is probably to find out why audacity doesn't perform well and fix the problem. Then see if further improvement is necessary. [19:35] Bikerbob: ? [19:35] Bikerbob: there isn't one. [19:35] bikerbob: theres no user called root and he doesnt have a password [19:35] is anyone familiar with firefox ver 3.0.1? [19:35] oh really? I thought you could log in as root on ubuntu [19:35] Should I reinstall ubuntu to see how it works then? Cause i'm a hardcore newbie and I might have damaged something when exploring and experimenting with the os [19:35] handyd5, yes [19:35] Bikerbob there is no root user on Ubuntu by default u have to write sudo before each command to gain root privilege [19:35] outbackwifi: there is a user called root, but the account is locked by merit of no password being set (I'm a sucker for precision) [19:35] ok.. so how do I avoid doing all the frickn sudo crap [19:36] Bikerbob: you login as the normal user and can do a sudo su - to get to the root prompt [19:36] Bikerbob: root shell from the app menu. [19:36] where would i get the default human gdm theme i need it again [19:36] soundray: i dont agree [19:36] lol.. I dont have a desktop yet Jeruvy [19:36] ok, keith i noticed a setting that says use system proxy what is that? [19:36] soundray: audacity not performing well is definitely not related to his architecture; a difference in speed of +10% would only be seen on exceptionally computation-intensive 64-bit operations that have very few syscalls and page faults. But audio processing is HUUUGE on I/O, which is the same in 64- and 32-bit. [19:36] corunum: I suggest booting live, installing audacity into the live system and see if it performs better. If it does, you know your hardcore newbying may be at fault, and a 32bit reinstall could make things better [19:36] Bikerbob oh :) su - then [19:37] where would i get the default human gdm theme i need it again [19:37] outbackwifi: on which point or points? [19:37] outbackwifi : i also agree with soundray [19:37] anyone ever seen a disk IO error trying to install ubuntu on a newer computer??? maybe the sata controller?? [19:37] Bikerbob: that sudo crap has managed to save a lot of lives [19:37] outbackwifi: root exists. Proof: 'grep root /etc/passwd' [19:37] handyd5, proxy servers are in between buffers for the internet. Things are stored as a sort of cache on a proxy server in hopes of faster access. [19:37] hello people [19:37] hi [19:37] soundray: nm [19:37] outbackwifi: :) [19:37] Ockonalhey [19:37] i am having trouble to install Guest additions in virtualbox [19:37] yeah I know outbackwifi but for me at the moment its just getting in my way [19:38] ;) [19:38] famous last words [19:38] lol damned mirc.. gimme ubuntu back! : [19:38] i click devices-install quest additions but nothing happens [19:38] Alright thanks, I'll be doing that in a few secs. Also, (because no one's alive in #ubuntustudio) would getting that distro be easier than working to fix up this ubuntu? [19:38] Bikerbob: if you really need a root shell, get it with 'sudo -i' [19:38] handyd5, I believe they can also be used to mask your online activities but I don't use one personally. [19:38] where would i get the default human gdm theme i need it again [19:38] bikerbob: what exactly is it that you're trying to do? [19:38] host is suse11 and quest is ubutnu server with x-window [19:38] Bikerbob: and please use professional language here, thanks :) [19:38] Sorry for offtop, can u tell me, where i can find Qt direcories: bin, includes [19:38] does anybody know where to install libs for python? i am trying to install pyAIML for sudo pytthon setup.py install returns "error package directory 'aiml' does not exist. so if can get help in either manual or auto [19:38] Bikerbob : just type "sudo su root" type the password nad get into the root mode ; when over "exit" [19:39] starn: thats the 4th time youve asked the same question [19:39] !rootshell | earthling [19:39] earthling: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [19:39] !ask [19:39] 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. :-) [19:39] Bikerbob: Are you trying to delete your old kernels in /boot still? [19:39] handyd5, make sense? [19:39] keith : ok ive noticed that some other types of proxy settings wont work unles you have a proxy server ip. [19:39] Bikerbob: Just making sure that you aren't going down a fruitless path. The size of your /boot partition (30 MB) is __way__ too low, and it needs to be resized. [19:39] outbackwifi: i only do so for no one replys.. and new people join in. [19:40] handyd5, are you high speed? [19:40] soundray : yeah i know that.. but it is easy working with.. [19:40] starn- in apt-get [19:40] yes [19:40] Also I don't know if its relevant but no other programs other than my audio ones are slow. [19:40] handyd5, no need to hide your tracks? [19:40] well dsl [19:40] arquebus: pyAIML last i looked is not in apt-get. [19:40] !java [19:40] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [19:40] no i was just curios [19:41] * outbackwifi needs to get back to chatzilla, weechat is driving him nuts [19:41] earthling: quick question: do you know off the top of your head, without cheating, what directory $HOME points to when you do 'sudo su root'? [19:41] brb [19:41] ok wish me luck I am going to reboot!! [19:41] handyd5, Then, imho, you don't need to worry about a proxy server. [19:41] Bikerbob: oh dear [19:41] ok [19:41] hey all, my sound keeps going off for some reason randomly. I tried restarting alsa-utils but with no luck, I always have to restart. any thoughts on what I can do? [19:41] Bikerbob: good luck [19:41] Bikerbob: :) [19:41] still off topic but anyone help me change my ident in xchat?? [19:41] soundray : yeah /root on redhat [19:41] handyd5, I hope that helped you out somewhat. [19:41] arquebus: yea. pyaiml is not in ubuntu's apt-get. [19:41] soundray: I think he rm'ed his kernels or something, dunno if we'll see him again, heh [19:42] yea [19:42] earthling: and Ubuntu? (since this channel is not that much about redhat) [19:42] starn- then youre best bet is to ask at #python [19:42] wee [19:42] outbackwifi wee not working for you ? [19:42] soundray : yeah i guess /root.. <<<< praying and hoping>>> [19:42] handyd5, how do you find the latest version of firefox? [19:42] b3z3rk3r: tis hurting me eyes [19:43] check for updates [19:43] outbackwifi lol [19:43] :O [19:43] hi [19:43] hi [19:43] hi [19:43] hi [19:43] 1400 users on this channel???

[19:43] not users; squatters [19:44] outbackwifi i dont thin you are meant to wee in your eyes :P [19:44] Believe it. :) [19:44] earthling: you're right, actually. $PWD stays the same, though, so you can get awfully mixed up, if you use anything other than sudo -i [19:44] That's alot of HIs [19:44] keith; do you have 64 bit [19:44] or is that on Freenode? [19:44] Bikerbob: Ubuntu is a popular distribution [19:44] Bikerbob: no, they are all listening to you right here, right now [19:44] this is probably the largest channel on Freenode, or near to that [19:44] soundray : yipeee!!1 === ascott is now known as ascott_afk [19:44] allquixotic: it is, by a margin [19:44] b3z3rk3r: dont forget ubuntu-offtopic; all the gals hang out there [19:45] earthling: :) [19:46] i have kernel source and trying to build linux-headers .. what target should give to buill that AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-target name .. i tried generic but when i install it ask for linux-headers [19:46] outbackwifi: hahaha [19:46] nick Pavlz [19:46] outbackwifi: How about #ubuntu-girls === ivansolinas is now known as Pavlz [19:46] Dang, have I missed anything?

[19:46] allquixotic there are no girls that use linux... dont be silly :P [19:47] xerophyte: You don't actually build linux-headers. You build the source. [19:47] does anyone run duel boot linux/windows? [19:47] its a duel allright [19:47] xerophyte: When you build the source you get an image. [19:47] handyd5: I do.

[19:48] handyd5: yes, either [19:48] cool: You're going to have to type a more legible sentence. [19:48] allquixotic: what will be the build command to build the source [19:48] * outbackwifi feels the evil i-witch closing in [19:48] from where i can get sis graphics driver for ubuntu [19:48] gtg [19:48] clas is over [19:48] tc [19:48] thx, laterz outbackwifi [19:48] ill take that as a no [19:48] neeraj: it comes with Ubuntu.

[20:28] ty [20:28] outbackwifi: And then [20:28] blazebleach: the normal way [20:28] Hi guys...I need some help related to the netwrok [20:29] Cosmo-san: so after starting FF things froze? [20:29] wmc: shoot and wait [20:29] outbackwifi apparently I needed w32codecs from medibuntu, thanks for you help. [20:29] noodlesgc: yw [20:30] thx outbackwifi, was also my first wifi experience, looks like i set the wap up correctly [20:30] yes. sorry if I'm not making sense. Let's try again: I started firefox and parts of my system will not work (taksbar up top, program bar on bottom) but things like terminal will. What is the best way of getting it back to normal? [20:30] ok...am a newbie. Am trying to setup Azureus without any success. [20:30] Cosmo-san: have you tried killing FF? [20:30] Cosmo-san, xkill? [20:30] !Azureus [20:30] I need some programming help in python, but #python in freenode seems to be empty... what channel are the python people using? [20:30] azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo [20:30] FF has not loaded, I just pressed the icon [20:30] can someone explain to me how to use scp for file transfers over SSH? [20:30] no visual screen. [20:31] Cosmo-san: but you can get to a terminal? [20:31] er, scratch that, terminals won't load... [20:31] the problem is not azureus...I think the problem is ubuntu [20:31] neeto: You should ask (either the python question, or the metaquestion) in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here, thanks. [20:31] Yamakiri: scp src-files user@host:dst-files [20:31] the screen pops up but it sits there with no prompt. [20:31] Cosmo-san, ctrl+alt+backspace [20:31] turns grey~ a depressed grey... [20:32] haha [20:32] Cosmo-san: You can CTRL+ALT+F2 to get to a terminal (tty2) to get back to the gui it's CTRL+ALT+F7.. from terminal I think you can "pidof firefox" and it should return a number. [20:32] outbackwifi, you on your own doing the troubleshooting today? [20:32] n #ubuntu-it [20:32] * outbackwifi is feeling all lonely [20:32] i followed what the azureus help (iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport -j ACCEPT) [20:32] lol [20:33] I need to sort through a list of /dev/sd* drives and identify which ones are USB devices. How do I determine which ones are which? [20:33] Sorry outbackwifi, whats the terminal string for bringing up my fstab info? [20:33] I can never remember the commands [20:33] robelliott2125: cat /etc/fstab [20:33] robelliott2125: more /etc/fstab [20:33] robelliott2125: less /etc/fstab [20:33] Annirak_: lsusb [20:34] does anyone know how to connect to a widows computer from terminal? [20:34] but if I launch netstat -an i get tcp6 0 0 fe80::211:50ff:fe:56969 :::* LISTEN [20:34] udp6 0 0 fe80::211:50ff:fe:56969 :::* [20:34] Annirak_: and careful examination of dmesg [20:34] biggerfisch: rdesktop [20:34] outbackwifi: thanks [20:34] outbackwifi, thanks [20:34] anyone help me get my X running? I need to get it to some kind of safemode [20:34] is there any way to recover deleted files in ubuntu [20:35] Bikerbob, try the live cd? [20:35] thanks bunches outbackwifi! [20:35] rubydiamond: did you delete them by the command line? [20:35] rubydiamond: http://code.google.com/p/ext3grep/ [20:35] outbackwifi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/46372/ [20:35] rubydiamond, check the trash, usless you did an acually delete [20:35] nope sorry cant use a livecd here [20:36] need command line gurus [20:36] Bikerbob: what kind of mode are you in now? [20:36] Bikerbob, why not? [20:36] OLD machine xorand [20:36] Does anyone know how to stop the window borders of unfocused windows from going transparent in compiz? I can't find this in the settings manager [20:36] robelliott2125: did you create the mountpoints yourself [20:36] dang ;) [20:36] xorand: how would the live cd actually help Bikerbob ?? He's currently got terminal access.. [20:37] hi anyone can recommen me a widget tool!? for RSS especially? [20:37] Scunizi, if he booted...din't know he was on a terminal [20:37] ok.. so how do I get this thing into like 8bit colour 640 x 480 or whatever [20:37] No outbackwifi, i reinstalled ubuntu because of having a prob. But i think that fstab was kept in my /home dir, since its not changed to the new partitions [20:38] Bikerbob: first.. not sure if I can do all this 'cause of my experience and I'm at work.. but .. what kind of vid card is installed? [20:38] robelliott2125: those mount points dont seem right; /dev/Music /dev/Storage etc [20:38] old stuff man ATI Mach64GT [20:38] robelliott2125: they need to be under /media like /media/Music /media/Storage etc [20:38] hi all - new to ubuntu - have some questions regarding the syaptic package manager and adding repositories - if anyone could pm me for some help it would be greatly appreciated [20:39] !ask | tenntitan [20:39] tenntitan: 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. :-) [20:39] Bikerbob: ok.. when you installed did you install from the alternate cd or server cd or what? [20:39] gotcha [20:39] Yeah, i need to majorly change it outbackwifi, but i haven't a clue about stuff like that. [20:39] coming from freebsd - i'm guessing this is like the ports tree - however i don't see a lot apps i would expect - opera bitchx etc [20:39] hello [20:40] alternate and I had to install the desktop after the fact [20:40] hi [20:40] pl?? [20:40] robelliott2125: try this; create the mount points manually under /media like i said and then change the fstab to reflect taht [20:40] hey guys [20:40] tenntitan: bitchX isn't in for security reasons. Opera isn't free, but there are third party repos that have it. [20:40] i have hardy, how do i upgrade kernal to 2.6.26? [20:40] patrick: hi [20:40] question will Wubi give me a multi boot like a Cd install ? [20:40] someone here told me the ubuntu could work on the tablet pc === patrick is now known as Guest49854 [20:40] is this true [20:40] tenntitan: but, on a high level, it's more or less like the ports system. [20:40] gotcha [20:41] is there a better text based editor other than vi? [20:41] im trying to get the touch screen to work [20:41] gaintsura: nano [20:41] Bikerbob: using the alternate typically installs the desktop, if it didn't that would be weird. When you installed the desktop did you use the command "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" ?? [20:41] outbackwifi: is it included with ubuntu install? [20:41] !components | tenntitan [20:41] I haven't a clue how to do that outbackwifi :( [20:41] tenntitan: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [20:41] gaintsura: yes [20:41] chombee: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/04/adjust-the-transparency-of-window-decorations-with-compiz/ [20:41] outbackwifi: cool, thanks [20:41] !tablet pc [20:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about tablet pc [20:41] another question - can ipfw be installed on ubuntu? [20:41] How do I check if BIND really works on my server? I have added it to /etc/resolv.conf [20:41] !tablet [20:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about tablet [20:41] my alsamixergui dont want work again [20:41] what's a good ISO? [20:41] tenntitan: And also, for general perusal of repos and stuff, synaptic is a nice GUI method, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [20:41] tenntitan: iptables is a drop=in replacement [20:42] yes I did Scunizi but with Kubuntu [20:42] it says alsamixergui:function snd_ctl_open failed for default : no such a directory [20:42] Razer; for? [20:42] hey will unbuntu enable tablet pc to function as a tablet ??? [20:42] zoed - thanks! [20:42] robelliott2125: can you get a terminal? [20:42] Yes outbackwifi [20:42] chombee you're welcome [20:42] bastid_raZor, mounting a starcraft ISO [20:42] robelliott2125: ok,fire one up; lets holdhands [20:42] Bikerbob, while kde seems alluring, stick to gnome ;) [20:42] I live! [20:42] So, let me get this right, there is no linux substitute for Vent? [20:42] !iso | Razer [20:42] Razer: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [20:42] !vent [20:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about vent [20:42] xorand: im happy with kde [20:42] Guest49854: yes. Go to http://tuxmobi.org to find out more [20:43] zoed helped me get the desktop installed [20:43] Guest49854: sorry, http://tuxmobil.org [20:43] outbackwifi, ya sick puppy ;) [20:43] lol outbackwifi, had it open for getting the fstab info [20:43] هاى [20:43] Bikerbob: I'll be back.. I have a 1pm deadline for something. that's only 15 minutes away.. You'll probably want to look at your xorg.conf file and see if a vid driver is named and which one. If you can wait I'll be back. [20:43] hi [20:43] robelliott2125: great! now type the following [20:43] robelliott2125: cd /media [20:43] if I start it.. it tells me it finds screens but none that have a configureation it can use [20:43] thanks - is iptables configured similar to ipfw? (rc.firewall or similar)? [20:43] ok [20:43] yup [20:43] zoed, didn't you mean to do !ventrilo? [20:43] please please.. can anyone tell me why my video is real choppy when i watch it in firefox [20:43] robelliott2125: mkdir Music; mkdir Storage; mkdir Uploads [20:43] can anyone help me with the alsamixergui? [20:43] !bentrilo [20:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about bentrilo [20:43] !ventrilo [20:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about ventrilo [20:44] tenntitan: yes [20:44] !iptables | tenntitan [20:44] thanks outbackwifi! [20:44] tenntitan: 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). [20:44] ventrilo is a VoIP [20:44] outbackwifi: mkdir: cannot create directory `Music': File exists [20:44] !ventrilo [20:44] robelliott2125: great [20:44] VoIP? [20:44] robelliott2125: what about the other two; dothey also exist? [20:44] mkdir: cannot create directory `mkdir': Permission denied [20:44] mkdir: cannot create directory `Storage': File exists [20:44] Voice over IP, it's a conferencing utility [20:45] Okay, I understand that [20:45] robelliott2125: do you know how to edit using vi? [20:45] mkdir: cannot create directory `Backup': File exists [20:45] [15:45] what repository do i need to get the newest kernal? [20:45] robelliott2125: leave it ; those mountpoints exist [20:45] Urmmm, might do once in outbackwifi, but mind is kinda frazzled [20:45] thanks y0 - appreciate the help [20:45] I used it on Windows, and my gaming clan only uses vent, so I was wondering if there is a linux substitute... [20:45] robelliott2125: sudo vi /etc/fstab [20:45] outbackwifi: our sudo nano [20:46] Spherous, your best bet is running it under wine [20:46] Brought up my fstab info outbackwifi [20:46] Razer: I don't get sound with wine, its dumb, and no one in #winehq seems to be able to fix it === DamienG is now known as NotDamienGray [20:46] robelliott2125: with what command ? [20:46] sudo vi /etc/fstab [20:46] Meh, guess I'll just have to go out a buy another windows key -.-" [20:47] Spherous, try virtual booting [20:47] Or VBox [20:47] robelliott2125: ok, now press 9G and then use the arrow keys to position the cursor just above the d in /dev [20:48] Razer, What is virtual booting? [20:48] 9G? outbackwifi [20:48] using kubuntu, where is the power management application? [20:48] my alsamixergui worked earlier now nothing wont work [20:48] robelliott2125: that's vi black magic [20:48] robelliott2125, google isn't comming up with anything linux based with I search vbox === karl_ is now known as karlgus [20:48] when my laptop powers down the monitor badthings follow. I'd like to disable that "feature" [20:48] robelliott2125: aw, just use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the line that says UUID [20:48] GNOME PPP in setup says no modem found on system trying to use the Verizon V620, it is showing up under device manager as ttyusb0, any suggestions? [20:48] Bikerbob: Maybe you could try the xorg.conf at http://paste.ubuntu.com/46379/. To start x, run the command "startx" [20:49] Spherous, use VirtualBox - By Innotek. Its basically a Virtual Machine [20:49] sungog: use wvdialconf [20:49] Ok outbackwifi [20:49] W9ZEB: disable it in System-Preferences-Power management. Also check that it's disabled in System-Preferences-Screensaver [20:49] zoed: I tried to use the failsafe config.. and it gives me errors no drivers availabvle and no vesa module.. so maybe we did not finish the desktop install??? [20:49] Spherous, running windows OS from inside linux [20:49] explain to me how it works [20:49] !wvdialconf [20:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about wvdialconf [20:49] So, its gonna use a shit ton of ram? [20:50] Spherous: keep it clean please [20:50] :'( [20:50] robelliott2125: this is going to be tough; press Escape a couple of times and then :q! [20:50] lets do it using gedit [20:50] soundray: I don't see a power-management option in the system-settings menu. Same with the screen saver application, I don't see anything relating to power management there either. [20:50] st3ph: what have you done that stopped it? [20:51] nothing [20:51] !language [20:51] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:51] I've just exited terminal outbackwifi, that isn't going to mess up anything, is it? [20:51] robelliott2125: nope [20:51] i tried to open it and then came that msg up alsamixergui:funcion snd_ctl_open failed for default : no such a directory [20:51] W9ZEB: are you in gnome? [20:51] So it's going to use a ton of ram then?** [20:51] soundray: KDE [20:51] robelliott2125: open up the terminal and type gksu gedit [20:51] W9ZEB: better to ask in #kubuntu then [20:51] tried to edit wvdialconf "do not have permission" [20:51] soundray: ahhh... sorry [20:52] sungog : sudo wvdialconf [20:52] man [20:52] st3ph: have you rebooted since it stopped working? [20:52] soundray_ im really lost i dunno why it sztopped working [20:52] Bikerbob: that could be possible. try to "sudo apt-get check" [20:52] yes [20:52] i rebooted extra [20:52] outbackwifi, just tried gksu gedit /etc/fstab and its loaded a blank text editor page [20:52] im installing this ubuntu on the tablet pc and after i rebored [20:52] its sayinf chekin the installation [20:52] st3ph: have you looked at the troubleshooting tips on the help pages? [20:53] !sound > st3ph [20:53] st3ph, please see my private message [20:53] comes back nothing zoed [20:53] Guest49854: did you remove the CD from the drive? [20:53] everything good no errors [20:53] Bikerbob: hm [20:53] now its at installing systmem but it doesnt seem to be moving [20:53] soundray i check that ty [20:53] no i used a live USB [20:53] does the xorg.conf at http://paste.ubuntu.com/46379/ work? [20:54] but it cant even find vesa drivers? thats weird [20:54] is there a linux version of bittorrent? [20:54] !transmission [20:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about transmission [20:54] it says formating swao space in partition #1 [20:54] Yes Razer, ktorrent / azureus / transmission / deluge [20:54] hello, can anyone please tell me how to log in as root [20:54] !info transmission [20:54] transmission (source: transmission): free, lightweight BitTorrent client. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.06-0ubuntu6 (hardy), package size 0 kB, installed size 20 kB [20:54] st3ph: let us know when you get stuck. Don't use the help on compiling alsa -- if it was working before, it shouldn't be necessary to recompile. [20:54] transmission is too simplistic [20:54] !root | eligos [20:54] eligos: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:55] Razer, you may prefer ktorrent then. Lite and extremely fast. [20:55] Bikerbob: "aptitude search xorg" gives you a long list of drivers. You can check whether your ones (ati, ...) are installed by looking at the first character in each line - i like installed. [20:55] rofl @ ubottu's comment! [20:55] robelliott2125, I'll look it up [20:55] HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I wasn't expecting that answer [20:55] im upgrading to 8.10. hope my laptop doesn't explode [20:55] are you guys/gals using ah url handler in xchat? What is the line to get it to launch firefox and open the url? [20:55] hello, any knows a site with a HOWTO for mounting a ftp on server via curlftps ? for hardy 8.04 , cant find anyone, and i get only errors on trying to mount it [20:55] does any 1 know why its not moving im trying to install ubuntu [20:55] Razer, i used to use ktorrent, its still loaded. Its extremely good. [20:56] no modem found with wvdialconf ? [20:56] its at the installing system screen [20:56] but it doesnt seem to be moving [20:56] ckyle: it should be preconfigured. Have you tried right-clicking on a URL? [20:56] sungog: check dmesg for errors [20:56] do i have to be retard to use ubuntu? [20:57] lkjffkjd: no, but it helps enormously [20:57] I found a bittorrent for ubuntu [20:57] rofl @ soundray [20:57] how do I pause the listing? [20:57] soundray - thanks that works, if i select "open link"... does it work if i just want to click on the link and have it open the link in a browser window? [20:57] Razer, were you after bittorrent exactly, or an app which allows use of bittorrents? [20:58] Bikerbob: pipe everything through less: "aptitude search xorg | less" [20:58] HELP ME PLEASE [20:58] tell me why its still at the installing system screen [20:58] Bikerbob: when the desktop is configured it doesn't put a lot in xorg.conf including driver reference because it's auto configured by xrandr. You can override it by inserting a "Driver vesa" line into xorg.. [20:58] ckyle: I don't know, sorry. In xchat-gnome, it does, but that's a different program [20:58] Sorry Guest49854, i use a LiveCD all the time, I've never tried from a Live USB. [20:58] oh well it loaded me into ubuntu [20:58] now its saying fomatting swap space [20:59] robelliott2125, bittorrent exactly, it's my preferred torrenter [20:59] but it doesnt move [20:59] Ahhhh, sorry then bud. I thought you meant any BT software. [20:59] Ahhhh, sorry then bud. I thought you meant any BT software. @ Razer [20:59] Guest49854: is this an older machine? [20:59] hi how do a change the ubuntu icon of the menu bar in the top pannel to the gnome feet? I googled all kinds of nstructions but now one worked out [20:59] thanks zoed I forget less in dos its more [21:00] Is it not in preferences within the window simon_? [21:00] Bikerbob: you'd put it in the "Device" section and say ... Driver "vesa".. then sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart [21:00] http://jewbuntu.com/ // what could they possibly add? [21:00] robelliott2125: sorry what? [21:00] Bikerbob: more also exists, but you can only scroll one page downwards with space in more. With less, you can also scroll (Even up!) with the arrow keys. Sometimes less is more ;) [21:00] soundray can i pm u?

[21:06] Bikerbob: Try to edit the xorg.conf created by "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" (you can use "nano" as an editor).

[21:17] krish_: yes [21:17] temp234: its a directory in your home-dir [21:18] will a P-3 system be enough to run as a webserver with ubuntu 8.04 server edition? [21:18] Guest49854: that's impossible to answer without knowing more about your partition setup [21:18] it should be, linux servers can run on nearly all hardware [21:18] i c [21:18] hello anybody know how to setup a broadcom wireless card [21:18] i dont see a themes folder in my home folder [21:18] loadndisdriver: loadndisdriver: load_driver(358): couldn't load driver nwusbmdm [21:18] will it manage with the daily hits [21:18] of a live website [21:18] i think this is the only partition [21:19] !broadcom | Garrotteinhood [21:19] Garrotteinhood: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [21:19] temp234: themes folder is probably .themes === arooni_____ is now known as arooni [21:19] so its hidden [21:19] krish_ : i'm not sure [21:19] ok :) [21:19] how would i view a hidden file [21:19] Guest49854: no, it probably isn't. But if you run 'sudo cfdisk' and delete all partitions, write the changes, exit and reboot, any OS installer should offer to format the whole disk for you. [21:19] temp234: .themes , that means its sort of hidden, you must tell nautilus to show hidden files (h) [21:19] my web server runs on a p4 2.2ghz processor, but it gets about 100 hits a week [21:19] !ot [21:19] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[21:20] it locked up the terminal soundray [21:20] krish_, your main concern will be hardrive space, memory, bandwidth & security [21:20] krish_: a PIII system should handle many thousand hits per hour, if it serves static pages [21:20] everything works but when I go into network settings my card isn't displayed [21:20] starn: and where's the traceback? [21:21] black screen with a cursor line top left [21:21] wam: ?? eh? i dont know all i know is that code works under windows xp and vista. [21:21] Bikerbob: does it react to Ctrl-Alt-F1 ?

[22:35] I need help with various problems, including installing stuff and so :D Can someone thats willing to help me please whisper me ? [22:35] ScheissDrogen, thank you , but as far as I know you can't install run files on x64 ubuntu right? [22:36] i remember stumbling across a webpage that described a command that allows you to limit a programms cpu usage to just one cpu core rather than spreading it across both cores, anyone know which command this is? [22:36] ScheissDrogen and btw you can paste me english links, I read faster trought them thanks =) [22:36] Russian you can, but why do you tell me now 64 ? [22:36] I need help with various problems, including installing stuff and so :D Can someone thats willing to help me please whisper me ? [22:36] how do i run a sh file as root remotly [22:36] ScheissDrogen I tought I told you already [22:36] Russian , go google nvidia > driver..... [22:37] Russian , see also !envyNG [22:37] Hmm. Do you see what i write ?' [22:37] I think my ubuntu box has been hijacked.

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 [22:37] !envyng [22:37] airtonix: cpulimit?

[22:37] look at my processes and there is a process called "scan" run by guest that is taking up 90% of my CPU, killing this process stops the ssh packets [22:38] any ideas what this is and how to stop it? [22:38] ScheissDrogen thanks anyways [22:38] my computer is scanning ip addresses incrementally for open ssh ports [22:38] im tring to install gbtsco i found this # GetDeb.net Repository deb http://ubuntu.org.ua/ getdeb/ but what is this [22:38] I think my box is part of a bot net [22:39] StephenF, yep thats the symptom [22:39] Hey, I need help with various newbie problems, including softwareinstall and such.. please, if you can take yourself time then whisper me :) [22:39] I have a conundrum, my desktop needs access to the internet, and where I am currently, the only way to do that is via wireless. My laptop has a wireless card and an ethernet card. I would like to use an ethernet cable and plug my Desktop PC to my Laptop PC and bridge the connection to my wifi card. Not sure how to do that though [22:39] Any ideas [22:39] usser: ok, any ideas on how to remove whatever was placed on my system? [22:39] StephenF: have a look at ps and see wht process it is [22:39] StephenF: try booting from a live cd and run some of the rootkit scanners.. not a lot you can do on an infected computer.. [22:39] I can kill the process but it comes right back [22:39] ARrrrrrr *kicks his network* could someone possibly send me ubuntu 8.04 server iso? Mirrors are failing [22:39] linxeh: already found the process [22:39] StephenF: ok, so where is it on disk ? [22:40] ansichart, you either have to enable forwarding in the kernel or use bridge-utils [22:40] linxeh: don't know how to find that out... [22:40] StephenF: from the process table, as I said :p [22:40] I have the PID [22:40] ansichart, i find bridge-utils to be a tad easier to configure [22:40] StephenF: if your computer is infected you can't really trust the programs on it.. so.. boot from a live cd and search from there [22:40] usser, thanks... I'll try the bridge-utils [22:40] StephenF: you can look in /proc for the pid, or you can use ps -ef etc. then I would do the live cd thing [22:41] where i should add this # GetDeb.net Repository deb http://ubuntu.org.ua/ getdeb/ [22:41] ansichart, take a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=396294 [22:41] usser, Thanks! [22:41] ansichart, also to connect two computers u'll need a special cable [22:41] ansichart, a crossover [22:41] frogen u here? [22:41] linxeh: ok its in ./scan [22:42] StephenF: ok, you need to look in /proc then - that is just where it was run from [22:42] usser, It's the same cable I use to plug my desktop into a router... [22:42] ansichart, that wont work [22:42] usser, and since a router is basically a computer... and I would be using my laptop as a virtual router ... it should work right? [22:42] is there no qt4 IRC client? [22:42] ansichart, you need a crossover cable [22:42] ansichart, not exactly router is not a computer [22:42] !irc | maniheer [22:42] maniheer: 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 [22:43] maniheer: I'm sure there's something out there [22:43] ansichart, see router, only manages connections, its not an endpoint [22:43] maniheer: there are according to google anyway [22:43] only quassel [22:43] linxeh: ok I found it in /proc, now what? [22:43] usser, Will a crossover cable work to plug a Computer into a router? because maybe I have a crossover cable... not sure [22:43] ansichart, the two computers are endpoints so the output of one computer has to be wired to input of the other and vice versa thats what crossover cable does [22:43] i dont like quassel [22:44] ansichart: depends on the router, some of them can automatically compensate for a crossover cable... [22:44] ansichart, no crossover cable doesnt work with computer - router [22:44] StephenF: each process is a directory in there - you can enter the dir and read things like "cmdline" - each is a pseudo file you can look at with more / cat / less etc [22:44] StephenF: it might give you a clue where to start looking when your boot into your live cd [22:44] usser, I have installed a DHCP server on my computer and dirrectly plugged my laptop into my desktop before and it assigned it an IP address... I could also ping it. [22:44] ansichart, ^ the feature StephenF talks about are usually not present in the consumer-grade appliances [22:44] kvirc is qt3 [22:44] usser, so I probably have a cross-over I am guessing [22:44] so is konversation [22:44] funny enough I've just been watching Stephen Fry on TV :P [22:44] I just edited /etc/modprobe.d and blacklisted several wireless drivers that are NOT for my card. when I reboot and lsmod they are still being loaded1 [22:45] ansichart, hm... is laptop or desktop a mac? cause i know macs can do that [22:45] :) [22:45] ansichart, i guess a newer pc network card doesnt require crossover anymore, im getting old [22:45] usser: basically all gigabit cards can do that [22:45] ansichart: what type of router do you have? [22:45] ansichart, if u get an ip then you are set [22:46] usser: some 100mbit too, but pretty much all 1gbit up do auto crossover by default [22:46] is there a way to stop stickyNotes from minimizing when i click the desktop? [22:46] usser: almost everything new today has some kind of autosensing for crossed or straight cables.. [22:46] Slart, mmm some reason i remember the prog name had task in it [22:46] Anyone using Irssi? [22:46] StephenF, I have a D-Link [22:46] linxeh, didnt know that, thanks for pointing that out [22:46] greencookie: yes [22:46] Slart, thanks for info [22:46] airtonix: ok.. hang on [22:46] ansichart: and you want to know if the cable in your hand is a crossover cable? [22:46] Slart, i also remember this prog being part of a solution for playing wow under wine... [22:46] hello! [22:47] Slart: can you recommend me some good scripts? I already got nicklist openurl and scriptassist. [22:47] ansichart: look at the coloured wires in the plug and see if they are in the same order in both plugs. crossovers swap some wires [22:47] ansichart: just look at the ends of the cable, if the colors are in the same order on both ends then is it NOT a crossover [22:47] heh :) [22:47] linxeh: hehe [22:47] blacklisted modules are still being loaded and rmmod -f foo doesn't work [22:47] greencookie: I don't use any scripts at all.. except a script to tell me what country a users ip is from.. have you checked the irssi site? [22:47] Slart: Ok I will. Thank you. [22:47] bye [22:48] Slart: what source of data do you use for that? [22:48] brb [22:48] I'm trying to mount something and it's telling me "only root can do that" what do I do? [22:48] Razer: sudo [22:49] linxeh: a big file with lots of ip's in it =).. I think it was available for download from the site with the script [22:49] Hi! it's a lame question, but how do you make an image's resolution worst in GIMP? is it only the image size or something else as well?

[23:02] greencookie, may also want to look at open cubic player [23:02] .... Ubuntu has a christian edition? [23:02] gaintsura, Yes [23:02] Spec: http://packages.debian.org/python2.2 [23:02] Spec, backports provide newer versions from upcoming releases like Intrepid [23:02] greencookie, or even just the simple aplay command [23:03] airtonix: I want a command line player that just lets me listen to music while im on top of it with 'screen' [23:03] :) [23:03] * gaintsura has officially reached the point of permanent religious detachment [23:03] gaintsura, The only difference is that it has a gui for dansgaurdian [23:03] greencookie try mpd [23:03] whats a good rootkit scanner?

[23:03] gaintsura, But the content filter is what I need [23:03] bunker: and again I say: religious detachment [23:04] Spec: but i think that's the best way if you don't want to bother yourself with compiling the source [23:04] gaintsura, Does it matter? All I need to get working is the content filter [23:04] i'm fine with compiling source === xmagixxDK is now known as xmagixx [23:04] aplay is good enough for the time being :) thnx airtonix [23:04] no, it doesn't matter, its just sad imho. I don't know anything about the content filter or that specific edition of ubuntu, sorry [23:05] Spec: well, it's up to you =) [23:05] greencookie u can build playlist / search into your library etc...ang there are many front end ...

[23:08] ffs... how do i load a script into irssi? [23:08] I used a needle [23:08] the /load script turns out errors [23:08] fungusman: and just pressed the little button? [23:09] correct [23:09] I have to see something.

[23:09] xim: double tab [23:10] Is there a config file somewhere I can delete so that it will look for the wireless networks from scratch ?
