[00:00] WDC: Linux has something of a threshold before you get comfortable with it.. [00:00] em... does anybody know the url to the tango/gnome/gorilla/etc icon showroom? [00:00] Scunizi: I guess. I got so accustomed to Windows that no matter what I needed to do, I could just do it [00:00] its like a grey page with orange links [00:00] WDC: configuration on windows would take just as long as it does here. It doesn't take an hour. It just takes you not freaking out about having to learn how to configure something. [00:00] fwaokda: for more options to compile type "g++ --help" [00:00] heya soundray when you boot into recovery mode does it ask for your password? [00:00] WDC: what are you trying to do? [00:00] opt1k, thanks [00:00] WDC: keeping a cool head and not assuming "its way too big of a job" is an important part of learning anything new. [00:00] or anyone know rather? [00:01] Flannel: Nono, on Windows I had a GUI that i put my server address in, ports, enable, accounts, and there we go [00:01] hubar: Mail server. POP3/SMTP [00:01] EruditeHermit: your problem is now well out of my scope of experience. Have another look at testdisk docs -- maybe they've another hint. [00:01] WDC: what are you setting up ? firewall ? [00:01] opt1k: Mail server. POP3/SMTP [00:01] josh-: no, it doesn't -- unless you've gone against the grain and set one. [00:02] Flannel: http://pastebin.ca/1202157 [00:02] ok [00:02] WDC: I set up my own mail server on linux. It's not worth it anymore (IMHO) unless it's for a large organization [00:02] WDC: you are trying to make/set up your own mail server right? [00:02] kapat: Why do you say that? [00:02] WDC: what software did you decide to use it (for your mail server?)? [00:02] opt1k: Yah [00:02] WDC: There are too many spam hoops to jump through, and you have to do everything "just right" or your mail can get rejected by some servers. [00:02] hubar: Dovecot seems like a good choice for the POP3 side of things [00:02] kapat: hmm [00:02] WDC: so do you use sendmail or something else? [00:03] opt1k: Nop [00:03] SchmittyDoesIt: working? [00:03] opt1k: No. [00:03] so far yup [00:03] WDC: Like, having a reverse dns lookup for your IP address is a big gotcha. A lot of mail servers will drop you if your reverse dns lookup doesn't match the from domain. [00:03] Scunizi: thanx that was fustrating [00:03] kapat: That could be bad [00:03] Flannel: Did you get it? [00:04] WDC: so what's the part that's giving you trouble? [00:04] WDC: And unless you have a hosted environment, a lot of spam blacklists automatically block all dsl and cable IP addresses [00:04] hello [00:04] yeah unless you have a static ip and can setup the reversedns yourself you are kinda doomed [00:04] opt1k: Well configuring it. \ [00:04] WDC: And you have to appeal them to get yourself removed [00:04] kapat: Damn [00:04] SchmittyDoesIt: good.. not always the best option to use.. command line is faster when you understand permissions and how to set them.. I'm still working on that.. when you're done with the root version of nautilus close it.. it's much too easy to destroy things that you shouldn't [00:04] WDC: I enjoyed learning about it, but it is a serious PITA to maintain [00:05] kapat: Hmm. Is there any alternative to Blackberry Server yet? [00:05] WDC: alright, so, line 24, we want to remove the imap stuff, since we're not doing imap stuff (best to copy the line, comment the old one, edit the new one). That's not really required, but isn't a bad thing. The biggest thing we need to do is line 217. We need to set a mail_location [00:05] WDC: lol... well configuring what exactly? what have/haven't you configured ? [00:05] WDC: Are you going to be using mbox or maildir? [00:05] Flannel: For SMTP? Not there yet. That will be another couple hours. :( [00:05] WDC: For a blackberry? [00:05] WDC: no, not for SMTP. This has nothing to do with SMTP [00:05] kapat: No for a Treo. What else would a blackberry server do [00:05] hello i just installed ubuntu and i i had Acronis os selecter running, now it just loads ubuntu, how can i put up a dual loader? [00:06] Flannel: Well what do you reccomend [00:06] WDC: they're ... folder/file structures for storing the mail you get. [00:06] WDC: I recommend maildir. [00:06] Flannel: Maildir it is [00:06] WDC: why don't you use courier? [00:06] WDC: My wife has a treo, and we bought a Zimbra hosted account. You can then use exchange activesync to sync mail/contacts/calendar [00:06] hi all newish to ubuntu just reading a massive book about it lol [00:06] !dualboot | silk_ [00:06] silk_: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [00:06] thanks gnea [00:06] cheers [00:06] WDC: alright, so, line 211 has a sample line. Copy the contents of that, to line 217 (without the comment, of course) [00:06] kapat: I was asking if there was a free alternative to Blackberry Server [00:06] WDC: Otherwise, you can get an IMAP account just about anywhere [00:06] pmaddog320: which one? [00:06] another question, i installing dappy, is there anyway to install the new ubuntu on this one? [00:07] WDC: Zimbra does push e-mail like blackberry [00:07] WDC: It has a web admin package in repository anyway. easier for you to set up :) [00:07] silk_: You can upgrade to Hardy, yes [00:07] !upgrade | silk_ [00:07] silk_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:07] ok i'm exhausted... good night to everyone [00:07] thanks alot [00:07] &good luck with solving your problems =) [00:07] cya [00:07] is there a way to improve video playback with the nvidia driver that comes with ubuntu 8.04? all the time I play a video its lags a little and my video card is 8500gt [00:07] WDC: But there is no "open source blackberry server" that tries to emulate an actual blackberry server [00:07] Flannel: 211 is uncommented and IMAP is gone [00:07] soundray: is there a way to tell it to force yes except the first one which I want to say no to for fsck [00:07] kapat: Ah thanks. SOmeone should do that [00:07] beginning ubuntu linux by keir thomas and jaime sicam [00:07] hi [00:07] WDC: no, not uncomment 211, take 211 and copy it to 217, uncommented. [00:07] cant some one help me with avant window manager [00:08] EruditeHermit: don't know, sorry [00:08] i cant get the dock to show [00:08] WDC: If you are using a treo, you should seriously look at zimbra. It works very similarly to a blackberry server [00:08] Flannel: Done [00:08] WDC: and, also, you're done. Save and restart dovecot. And, again, I must impress upon you that all we did was follow that wiki page I gave you. So try actually following the documents you're given, instead of being annoying. [00:08] kapat: That was sarcasm\ [00:08] WDC: lol... ok [00:08] Flannel: I apologize [00:08] WDC: good luck then. ;-) [00:08] kapat: lol.

From what I have read this isn't a good idea. Thanks so much for the help, and again i'm sorry [00:10] Flannel: any idea what hoops? Update my sources file? My linux router is borked which is my internet, and I can't grab the latest release. eh, this is a super pain. I'm currently in CLI with no X. Can you shoot me some pointers via IRC by any chance?

Is it okay? [00:11] soundray: do you think there is any hope if I sit here for hours and hit yes for everything or should I give up? [00:11] timma: mostlikely, you just need to set all your apps to use alsa [00:11] foo: yeah, pretty much. The feisty upgrade notes mention it. [00:11] Flannel: apt-get update with default sources throws some 404 errors... I'm guessing I need to replace my sources.list [00:12] isbn ?

[00:25] soundray: didn't do much :-( [00:25] Phantomas: edit /etc/security/limits.conf and add a line like "* hard nproc 2000" that will limit the process a user can have to 2000 (safe and high enough limit) so a forkbomb can not make more than 2000 forks [00:25] msoini: did you call it from a terminal?

[00:41] erUSUL: yes [00:42] eracc, OH! tks! I was thinking it is iPconfig XD [00:42] ok one last question i downloaded and installed hardy 8.04 last week from the ubuntu website does that give me the best kernel or are there newer better ones [00:42] Hotkey: what exactly are you trying to do? Why have you created /home/snippit instead of just having /home/your_user/snippit? [00:42] but i put the user that ran the program in the file limits (my friend) [00:42] Phantomas1: what machine is it? i have 2000 limit and a shell forkbomb does not chrash anything. AMDx2 3800+ 3GB RAM [00:42] EruditeHermit: play it safe and do the backup first. Then you can't lose anything by trying to boot it [00:42] darren_: It gives you a fairly recent kernel, but once you install you upgrade to the newest one. [00:42] darren_: if you have run update-manager, then you are up to date [00:43] erUSUL: i have an 6000+ and 2Gigs of ram [00:43] hi :) [00:43] soundray: thanks for the help, I appreciate it [00:43] soundray: I am off to get an external HD [00:43] Flannel, so if i do update mananger does that sort it out for me [00:43] jrib, ok thanks [00:43] jrib maybe i shold have - im folling an instruction (trying to) that reads sudo gedit ~/.snippits/do [00:43] darren_: Yep, update manager takes care of it [00:43] EruditeHermit: I'm glad it turned out the way it did. I thought your filesystem was lost. [00:43] i am trying xchat for first time :) seems work perfect [00:43] Phantomas1: tried could kill the forkbomb with a Crtl + C only a little sluguish [00:43] Hotkey: ugh, why would you need sudo? [00:44] hey all, i'm using rhythmbox to put music onto my MP3 player, and it keeps putting files into separate folders... anybody know how I can stop this from happening? [00:44] ok thanks for the help every one [00:44] jrib dunn - follwing an install instruction from web site [00:44] Hotkey: link us [00:44] Can anyone here help with rubyripper? I installed it and all of its repos, but when i open the gui and change prefs, and then click rip now!, the program just closes [00:44] jrib does ~ mean user? [00:45] Hotkey: it means /home/your_username usually. It's your HOME [00:45] jrib ok thats the problem then - i'll try it there. [00:45] erUSUL: i didnt understood [00:46] Hotkey: the '.' in '.snippets' is important too. Make sure you do View -> Show hidden files as files that start with a '.' are hidden [00:46] Hotkey: and you don't need sudo for any of this [00:46] Phantomas1: i tried a shell forkbomb right now with a limit of 2000 processes and my machine didn't crash and i hardly noted anything [00:46] erUSUL: :S [00:46] why it stack for me [00:46] yeah same here there doesnt happen much [00:47] Phantomas1: did you reponed the shell you are launchng the forkbomb? [00:47] jrib i have hiddend showing and the .snippets folder is listed under MyHome icon in file manager - is the my user dir.? [00:47] erUSUL: sorry but what do you mean reponed [00:47] Phantomas1: it just reaches 2000 proc and stops forking [00:47] Hotkey: that's your HOME, yes. That's the right place [00:47] for the limits to take effect [00:47] id try to see what ulimit says when loged in as that user, if it shows those set limits at all [00:47] Phantomas1: reopened* sorry late at night here :) [00:48] jrib rats i cant paste a text file from my desktop [00:48] Can anyone here help with rubyripper? I installed it and all of its prereqs, but when i open the gui and change prefs, and then click rip now!, the program just closes [00:48] If I am copying a partition via dd does the bs= matter if I know the inode size is 4096 instead of 512? Does the bs= have to be exactly the same size as the inodes on the filesystem? [00:48] hello world... if i install ubuntu 8.04 will it recognize my hard drive sata drivers automatically? [00:48] Hotkey: why? what happens? [00:48] keevie: start on a terminal to see possible error output [00:48] extor: it helps if they are the same, makes copying quicker [00:48] paste is greyed out [00:48] cy21, it did on mine [00:48] jrib paste is greyed out [00:48] Hotkey: paste the result of 'ls -ld ~/.snippits' [00:49] cy21: it should (wfm) [00:49] sloopy, why do i need sata.. i deactivated it from bios.. is it faster? [00:49] quicker..but there will be no errors, right? [00:49] jrib drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-09-13 18:11 /home/user/.snippits/ [00:49] if you have sata disks they are much faster [00:49] jrib, same question as sloopy ^ [00:49] if you dont have sata disks then it is irrelevent [00:49] mgolisch: how do i start in terminal? just running rubyripper gives command not found [00:50] keevie: lookup the command in the starter [00:50] IndyGunFreak - I kinda download an arj arquive and I don't know what to do :( [00:50] (I don't know anything of linux) [00:50] sloopy, how much faster? x2 ? [00:50] :( [00:50] erUSUL: my friend does it [00:50] Phantomas1: do "ulimit -a" shows the limit of number of process set? [00:50] cy21, does your hd hook up with a 2.5" wide cable or a .5 inch cable? [00:51] erUSUL: no [00:51] :S [00:51] Hotkey: sudo chown $USER: ~/.snippits [00:51] sloopy, it's sata.. i'm on a notebook... but i disabled it from bios .. now.. if i enable it.. how much faster will it be ? [00:51] jacklake: cant you open it in the default archiver? [00:51] cy21, if you disabled sata in the bios and your older install still works then you dont have a sata drive [00:51] Phantomas1: maybe you have to log out and log in again for the limits.conf file to be read [00:51] does the geforce 9400gt work with linuz? [00:51] sloopy, my older install does not work [00:52] can someone knows what is wrong, i have cnet pro200 network card but no internet, 8.04 network manager shows it is ok [00:52] cy21: be carefull, if you set the adapter to ide legacy mode and installed windows that way, windows wont boot anymore when switching it back to sata/ahci mode [00:52] jrib magic - it works now - hat do i need to learn? [00:52] cy21, its not a question of speed its a question of if it will work at all [00:52] what [00:52] mgolisch: it doesnt give any errors, it just launches [00:52] mgolisch what? I don't understand [00:52] sloopy, but if it is a question of speed.. how fast are we talking? x2 faster? [00:52] !permissions > Hotkey [00:52] Hotkey, please see my private message [00:52] !cli > Hotkey [00:53] keevie: so when you click that button it just closes without any error message? [00:53] there are many factors in speed but fastest pata is 'theoretically' 133m/sec slowest sata is 'theoretically' 150M/sec [00:53] mgolisch: oh, nevermind, pastebinning output now [00:53] jrib thank you [00:53] mgolisch, i know.. id did that and it did not work.... [00:53] sloopy, so 20 mb faster [00:53] Hotkey: no problem [00:54] 15% or something ? [00:54] cy21, if the drive is sata then you need the sata drivers [00:54] lots to learn [00:54] can someone knows what is wrong, i have cnet pro200 network card but no internet, 8.04 network manager shows it is ok - it should be automatically on [00:54] 5 years old card [00:54] uffo: is it detect at all? [00:54] mgolisch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/46743/ [00:55] Anyone have an alternate mirror to ubuntu hardy? It's downloading pretty slow [00:55] uffo: like does lspci show it? [00:55] mgolish: how to test it [00:55] sloopy, so... sata vs non-sata is 20mb faster? [00:55] cy21, it is dependant on the drive... some patas are faster then some satas [00:55] foo: System-Administration-Software Sources. Pick a mirror from the list. [00:55] foo: use the torrents, they are usuaklly pretty fast. [00:55] IndyGunFreak: not an option atm. [00:55] foo: ok. [00:56] keevie: it seems to be a problem with the file home/daniel/.rubyripper/freedb.yaml [00:56] IndyGunFreak: thanks, though. [00:56] soundray: oh, I'm on ubuntu server, downloading from there website [00:56] keevie: does that file exist? and who is the owner, maybe you started that program using sudo before and thats what messed up that files permissions [00:56] soundray: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ [00:56] cy21 try it with sata on and with sata off and see if there is a speed difference [00:56] How do I configure the graphic settings when I have installed the nvidia restricted drivers with ubuntu? (I have my TFT-monitor connected to HDMI, but it stoped working.) [00:56] mgolish: how to test it [00:56] have to be some nvidia-configuration tool? [00:56] sloopy, i found that sata is starting from 1,5 gb/sec [00:57] mgolisch: how to test it [00:57] * sloopy starts chasing tail... probly be more productive [00:57] pinnen: maybe try nvidia-settings [00:57] pinnen: gksudo nvidia-xconfig [00:57] uffo: ls -lh home/daniel/.rubyripper/freedb.yaml [00:57] ok, thanks guys [00:57] ups +/ [00:57] mgolisch: no such file or directory [00:58] yeah there was the starting / missing [00:58] no nvidia-settings, but I'll try that gksudo [00:58] /home/...

[00:58] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 907 2008-09-12 19:12 /home/daniel/.rubyripper/freedb.yaml [00:58] pinnen: nvidia-settings comes in its own packages, you should install it and look at that, too [00:58] AWN doesn't seem to want to show my active windows, anyone got a clue? [00:58] mgolisch: no such file or directory, is there easyer way [00:59] pinnen: nvidia-xconfig should be on your system already. [00:59] erUSUL: ulimit -a shows 16320 [00:59] I need some help: My left mouse button no longer works as a left mouse button. [00:59] hi [00:59] Actually, my left mouse button does nothing while the others work just fine. [00:59] i have an issue with my emerald theme manager [00:59] Phantomas: ulimit -u ? [01:00] yes [01:00] it will only load themes with the command emerald --replace [01:00] c0llisi0n: sounds like a hardware problem. Have you tried another mouse? [01:00] yo yo yo [01:00] is there something i can do to make it load it without running that command [01:00] uffo: sorry, ifconfig, if you type that does it show an interface eth0 [01:00] soundray, yes. It works fine on other PCs. I have had this issue in the past. I would unplug the bluetooth dongle, plug it back in, and it would work. NOW... It seems stuck. [01:01] Does anyone here have time to spend trying to make me understand what to do? I'm having a LOT of trouble with mi comp AND I'm very, VERY new at all this linux stuff so I may demand some patience... and I also cant follow you guys here, so, if anyone can talk to me privatly, I'm very thankfull :( [01:01] mgolish: ifconfig shows eth0 [01:01] erUSUL: at the limits.conf file i put [01:01] * -hard nproc 50 [01:01] this line [01:01] mgolisch: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 907 2008-09-12 19:12 /home/daniel/.rubyripper/freedb.yaml [01:01] keevie: do sudo chown daniel:daniel /home/daniel/.rubyripper/freedb.yaml [01:01] jacklake, just got ahead and ask your question(s). [01:01] anyone [01:01] way to run emerald themes without emerald --replace [01:01] uffo: do you use dhcp? [01:01] it used to work properly [01:02] erUSUL: any ideas? [01:02] nickz327: make a script and put it in your startup [01:02] c0llisi0n - Already did it... but nothin seens to work AND I keep losing tracks of who I'm talking too :S [01:02] jacklake: to be honest, I personally don't feel like helping you because you've sais you wouldn't read documentation that has been pointed out to you. [01:02] mgolisch: problem fixed, thanks a lot! [01:02] mgolish: i use default roaming mode [01:02] nickz327: #compiz-fusion may be more familiar with the issue [01:02] *said [01:02] and i ha [01:02] ok doke [01:02] jacklake, looks like you need to track the mesasges better. ;) [01:02] mgolish: i have 1 card only [01:02] Phantomas: have you logged out and in? [01:02] Whats the terminal command for changing my ref/res within Hardy? [01:02] soundray I did, but there something at the doc that doesn't makes any sense to me :( - sorry [01:02] jacklake, have you searched Google already? I can always find tons of things, usually on the Ubuntu forums. [01:03] robelliott2125: ref/res? what? [01:03] uffo: i just wanted to know if you get an ip from your router or need to setup the networking properties by hand [01:03] look guys,,, I cant understand those docs you guys send me :( [01:03] erUSUL: i have reset :p because the system crashed before [01:03] Is there a way to reconfigure the mouse or reset the settings for it? [01:03] Refresh / Resolution rates jrib [01:03] !fixres > robelliott2125 [01:03] jacklake: when that happens, the right thing is to come back here and ask specifically about what you didn't understand. [01:03] robelliott2125, please see my private message [01:03] It is a bluetooth mouse and I sense that this may be an issue (have had MANY issues in the past with bluetooth and Ubuntu). [01:04] mgolish: router, i even set gateway manually from network manager but still nothing [01:04] Thanks jrib [01:04] c0llisi0n: sounds implausible to me... [01:04] soundray, what does? [01:04] Phantomas: should have worked... it is wrokig for me since i modified that file [01:04] I dont understand nothing about linux AT all... I use windows all my life and also don't know the commands and this terminal stuff and all of that :( [01:04] uffo: if you have dhcp try this: sudo dhclient eth0 and see if you have an ip and the correct gateway set and can access the internets then [01:04] привет всем [01:04] c0llisi0n: your left mouse button not working = bluetooth issue (sounds implausible) [01:04] hi +) [01:04] !ru | onisan [01:04] onisan: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [01:04] jacklake, search for Linux Zoo on Google. Some great tutorials on there to kinda get used to it. [01:04] erUSUL: ok anw thanks [01:05] c0llisi0n: but I don't have much bt experience and not much to offer, sorry [01:05] SO to use LINUX I have to do quite a research AND study, right? thereś no ease thing to do??? [01:05] jacklake, plus... Use it for some time. Dig around. Take the trial and error approach. I've been using Ubuntu for almost three years now and, I'm no where near an expert (yet) but I have learned tons just from trial and error and Google/Ubuntu Forums research. [01:06] soundray, DAMN YOU...! Nah, I'm kidding. Thanks anyway. [01:06] This is quite annoying though... Haven't had to use the tab key in ages it seems. :) [01:06] It's very hard fomr me... [01:06] any esata hot pluggers here? [01:06] jacklake: not really. But to solve problems on a computer, like the sound not working, you have to be willing to understand a few new concepts. [01:06] c0llisi0n, i have been using linux since '94 and when i finally get it... they change it on me ;') [01:06] jacklake: that's the same in Linux and all other operating systems [01:06] jacklake: ubuntu has become very much a non-terminal operating system, you can do 90% of what you need without using the terminal [01:06] jacklake... WELL... I'd say you'd have to suck it up and learn anyway. You won't get anywhere with technology if you can't learn to teach yourself at times. [01:06] I'm, but not alone. I can't learn just by reading :( [01:07] !rute [01:07] documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [01:07] mgolish: looks like it done something and shows no dhcpoffers received and no working leases in persisdent database [01:07] jacklake, well then learn by reading and then doing... [01:07] uffo: that mostlikely means there is no dhcp server or the cable is not properly configured [01:08] uffo: i mean the cable isnt luged in right or something [01:08] jacklake: start with the links in the sound factoid (coming up). If you find something in there that you don't understand, come back here and ask [01:08] !sound > jacklake [01:08] jacklake, please see my private message [01:08] jacklake, at most you will have to reinstall ubuntu, and doing the a few times teaches you things also [01:08] what's the most stable virtual machine for Ubuntu Hardy? [01:08] mgolish: but my wrt54gl gives dhcp [01:08] *LOL* This is helping me to learn some handy keyboard shortcuts though. :) [01:08] thirdy: depends on what you're trying to run [01:09] I send the reinstalling a few times... I have learned what packages you just shouldn't mess with from having to do a few reinstalls. [01:09] uffo: try dmesg and see of theres something about the interface eth0 [01:09] hi i am installing ubuntu 8.04 for the first time on a laptop. I was bugged with this swap partition creation process. I found out that it is possible to just create a swap FILE instead.. How do I do that? Any link? [01:09] jacklake, I have noticed that Konversation really helps with tracking the conversations. It makes any messages directed toward you turn red where everything else remains black. === bhiAbypAige is now known as abngal [01:10] jacklake, sudo apt-get install konversation. Try it out, may help. [01:10] i changed my nick [01:10] abngal: if you just blast through the install process it will make you one [01:10] mgolish: huge list of messages popped up Tx timeout - resetting [01:10] abngal: a swap partition [01:10] asmo[B], stable usb, stable shared folder with Ubuntu, I have xVM but it crashes when accessing the shared folder. [01:10] !swap > abngal [01:10] abngal, please see my private message [01:10] I don't want to create to create a partition [01:10] c0llisi0n, xchat does that too [01:10] c0llisi0n: xchat and xchat-gnome do the same thing... pidgin just sucks as an irc client [01:10] IndyGunFreak: in your opinion [01:11] yeah imo too [01:11] ActionParsnip: lol, youc an't really believe Pidgin is a good irc client? [01:11] WELL... Haven't used any of those. Hell, I don't even know why I picked Konversation for IRC. It works for me though. :) [01:11] uffo: there is something wrong with the link then, maybe try another cable/port on the router [01:11] IndyGunFreak: i think its fine [01:11] i will third my opinion on that also [01:11] thirdy: just for running windows XP? [01:11] uffo: and what driver does it use? maybe thats some bug in the driver [01:11] IndyGunFreak: it joins channels and i can type and recieve text [01:11] ActionParsnip: i find it completely unusable for IRC.. tis a great IM client, horrid IRC client in my opinion.; [01:11] IndyGunFreak: thats what irc is [01:11] WELL... I will be away for a bit. Hopefully if someone else reads this they can PM me with some assistance? [01:11] i'm aware of what RIC is.. [01:11] asmo[B], actually yeah, gonna play some games too [01:11] IndyGunFreak: what more do you want from irc? [01:12] c0llisi0n, what issue are you having? [01:12] something more useable than Pidgin. [01:12] IndyGunFreak: in what way? [01:12] thirdy: if you're going to play games I'd suggest Wine or Cedega [01:12] i just installed ubuntu...anyone know any good customizations i can make that arn't in the "preferences" ? [01:12] The left button my bluetooth mouse has stopped working. No changes were made. I need to know how to either reset the settings, reconfigure it, or what other options I have. Thanks. [01:12] mgolish: how i can see that card is working in simple way or there is better driver for it - cnet pro200 (windows shows that) [01:12] c0llisi0n: try resyncing [01:12] kevin_, yes, install full vim, it roolz ;') [01:12] The laptop already has winxp and I don't wan't the users to be scared of a new partition or be baffled that I used soem of their disk space for a ubuntu swap partition [01:13] abngal: theyll never see it [01:13] ActionParnship, when this happened before I would do that and it work work but now... It doesn't. Restarted, still didn't solve this issue. [01:13] uffo: look what lspci shows for the lan card [01:13] c0llisi0n, hardware issue maybe? [01:13] abngal: unless they poke around in disk manager [01:13] Yes they will [01:13] sloopy, don't think so. It works fine on other PCs. [01:13] I just want to create a swap file instead [01:13] asmo[B], what's the competitor for xVM, I got vmware-player then went to easyvmx.com, and no luck [01:13] abngal: how will they see it? [01:13] sloopy, isn't vim a text editor? [01:13] see it through partition managers [01:13] abngal: so read the link ubottu gave you [01:14] mgolish: Davicom semiconductor [01:14] abngal: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s2-swap-creating-file.html [01:14] kevin_, vim is a text processor... [01:14] Anyone know what the command line is to access the mouse preferences? [01:14] abngal: why are yur users uusing partition viewers? thats an admin task [01:14] hello there [01:14] sloopy, whats wrong with gedit? [01:14] uffo: whats the full name? and what drivers are loaded for that?

[01:15] asmo[B], that's your recommendation, ok I'll give it a try [01:15] they don't want to be left out with tech kno-how :). [01:15] ActionParsnip: its not irssi!

[01:16] jrib, Yes I have [01:17] abngal: not sure, i always make a swap partition [01:17] Wow, people here type so fast, I'm getting dizzy [01:17] im in ubuntu now, but in failsafe [01:17] soundray: i thought failsafe didnt read xorg.conf [01:17] tina, it has presets for certain labels from specific manufacturers, and instead of doing all the dirty work by hand you can tell it company that made them and with version (or model) they ase [01:17] I need help with monodevelop sourceforge and the MD svn plugin, can someone help me? [01:17] s/ase/are [01:17] hello all, I've been experiencing bizarre reboots on my Inspiron E1405 laptop on hardy... out of nowhere, while doing fairly ordinary stuff like IRCing, the screen'll just go blank and I'm back at the BIOS -_- [01:17] uffo: what driver does it use? maybe try dmesg|grep eth0 there might be some message from the driver [01:17] thirdy: I've not actually used it myself, but I had given it a good read over before I suggested it for use, I just use wine as the only windows based apps I care to use are low end games [01:17] & this goes to soundray too [01:17] ActionParsnip: I'll just research more :) [01:17] Thanks [01:17] ActionParsnip: I think you're thinking about recovery mode... [01:18] holyguyver_: then no, I don't know how to do anything more than what is on that page [01:18] niadh: id ask in #mono@gimpnet [01:18] I can't find anything in /var/log; http://paste.ubuntu.com/46745/ is the contents of kern.log [01:18] soundray: i think i amm too [01:18] asmo[B], thanx very much [01:18] bah [01:18] mgolisch: Not many people on there really [01:18] thirdy: no problem [01:18] u think ubuntu installed wrong? [01:18] does anyone have any pointers as to where the problem might lie? [01:18] jrib, though I havent tried everything on that page as that page is too dificult for me to fallow.

Problem is I keep getting a 403 forbidden error, most likely from lack of username and password, but I'm not prompted for it, nor can I seem to make it work by running svn ci --username --password [01:20] jrib, then what is the url again, ubottu didn't say this time. [01:20] !fixres > holyguyver_ [01:20] holyguyver_, please see my private message [01:21] tina, easiest thing would be to see if they have same specs as standard type and use that...

[01:22] mgolish: i do not find that i type character, maybe you can give som newer driver that is easy to install in .deb package [01:22] jrib, Alright during the xorg configure thing my system always freezes on the keyboard part so then I have to close the terminal. [01:22] sudo: /home/victor/.xsession-errors: command not found [01:22] darren_: I would also imagine that not much has changed in either of them over the past year, so you're probably pretty safe with the reviews you were reading [01:23] asmo[B], just connect to internet thinking off giving it a try but dont want to install if there is any problems its just in network manager it does not show my signel strenght in colourd bars [01:23] soundray: where is that file === g0b|in is now known as g06|in [01:23] jrib, so I cannot do that one [01:24] holyguyver_: your system doesn't freeze if you can close the terminal. What exactly happens? [01:24] jrib, the xorgconfigure thing freezes [01:24] uffo: i guess its just a card/chipset that isnt well supported, make sure the tulip driver is not loaded and that it uses dmfe as the driver, if that doesnt work get some other card [01:24] darren_: ah can't help you there, I don't use wireless [01:24] it stops responding [01:25] Do you know a file manager for nokia?

I'm just running a fairly normal installation of hardy on my laptop; it just hard reboots out of nowhere after hours to days of uptime, while running only fairly mundane apps like GNOME, xchat, and emacs, and I'm puzzled as to where to start diagnosing the problem; http://paste.ubuntu.com/46745/ is my kern.log [01:28] mgolish: thanks for tryng to help but commandline is too messy to me and i wait maye next ubuntu release has automatic problem detector or that tulip thing selector in gui.

[01:29] perfect! thanks lazyweb! [01:30] holyguyver_: ok, and? [01:30] jrib, & so I could not do anythingt for my monitor with that since it never asked a single question about my monitor.

[01:36] I have a question when was the last time ny of you got any? [01:36] jrib, I am not lieying the thing you are talking about I completed for the first time now, but the going to a backup of xorg I did this morning.

[01:42] erUSUL: ulimit is global or for the current user? [01:42] holyguyver_: it's a text editor, you just press keys. You can use 'gksudo gedit' instead of 'sudo nano' if you want [01:42] Dat1, if 'iwlist wlan0 scan' does not work in terminal, make sure driver is working properly for your wireless card [01:42] uninstalled* [01:42] Phantomas: ulimit from command line is for the current *shell* [01:43] oh [01:43] jrib, well I already did all of that in gedit about 30 times this morning & it had no effect, not even when I reverted to an older version.

[02:04] TrustNoOne, got it working, thanks === Dat1 is now known as Datz [02:04] soundray: both lol, I'm sorry [02:04] Datz, np [02:04] Aaron_mason: i typed this kevin@kevin-asusf6v:/usr/src/alsa$ sudo cp ~/downloads/alsa* usr/src/alsa [02:05] and i get this cp: target `usr/src/alsa.' is not a directory [02:05] try /usr/src/alsa [02:05] see, when going through documentation i always end up coming across stuff like this, "To use the packages in this repository, add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list" which i have no clue what that means [02:06] oh cool [02:06] i think that worked [02:06] Can anybody explain me why Ubuntu 7.10 for "sudo su" does not read /etc/profile nor ~/.profile for local user and for root? It is insane: http://wklej.org/id/4142/ [02:06] bronze1052: /etc/apt/sources.list is a file, open it in a text editor [02:06] it doesnt say anything, jsut goes to a new line if it works? [02:06] bronze1052: it's a file. You can open it with 'sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list' and then type in the lines you're supposed to add. [02:07] hipertracker, maybe it doesn't behave like you expect bc that cmd is deprecated? [02:07] hey [02:07] hwilde: what is depreciated? [02:07] Aaron_mason: thanks a bunch [02:07] How can I add myself to a group from the command line? The group I want to add myself to doesn't show up in the GUI users & groups editor [02:07] !sudo | hipertracker [02:07] hipertracker: 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) [02:07] hipertracker: 'sudo su' is deprecated. 'sudo -i' should be sane [02:08] !rootshell | hipertracker [02:08] hipertracker: 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) [02:08] you guys should get paid for this - by the government or universities or something [02:08] dmsuperman: sudo adduser user group [02:08] !donate > Kevin21 [02:08] Kevin21, please see my private message [02:08] hello .how to install Adobe Shockwave Player on Ubuntu?

[02:09] !shockwave > dido [02:09] dido, please see my private message [02:09] er, I don't get it [02:09] hipertracker: no, only 'sudo su' is deprecated [02:09] !root | hipertracker [02:09] hipertracker: 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 [02:09] do i just add the provided lines to the end of the sources.list file? and what does adding these lines do exactly? [02:10] I apt-get update in a terminal as sudo , and there is no change, still can't get any updates [02:10] bronze1052: it lists the sites that your installation uses to get new and updated packages (repositories) [02:10] what about this? http://wklej.org/id/4143/ [02:11] ooohhhh!!!! THAT MAKES SENSE!!! [02:11] Flannel: If I add myself to www-data, and www-data is the group that owns the folder, and the permissions are 0755, should I not then be able to edit the file inside? All of those permissions are recursive, btw [02:11] is http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/ a safe source to add to my list? [02:12] bronze1052: when you've changed it, run 'sudo apt-get update' to get the package lists from those repos. Then your system will know which of its installed packages have updates available. [02:12] bronze1052, why do you need that 3rd party repo [02:12] bronze1052: cafuego is a trusted community member [02:12] dmsuperman: 755 means you can read and execute, not write. [02:13] my dell wireless 1390 mini-pci card won't show any wireless signals coming from anywhere; so i'm assuming there's something wrong with the driver [02:13] dmsuperman: also, regular files shouldn't be executable, only directories. [02:14] Flannel: Alright, perhaps I'm simply mistaken. Do you know if apache has, for some reason, stopped using www-data as it's user in hardy? [02:14] dmsuperman: It is still www-data:www-data, yes. [02:15] hi [02:15] having trouble with my sound :( [02:15] Flannel: Alright, thanks [02:15] can i install 64 bit on intel core2 duo laptops ? [02:15] tomvolek: yes [02:16] ubuntulog: [02:16] thanks Flannel ... [02:16] i just typed in the two lines into sources.list usting text editer; but when i pressed saved, it said i dont have the permissions to save the file ; but i already typed in my password to open the file === LiraNuna_ is now known as LiraNuna [02:16] Flannel, any problem installing ubuntu 8 as a dual boot on vista ? [02:16] in xchat how can you make it so when you close the main window it goes to tray instead of quit [02:16] tomvolek: Nope, you should be good. [02:17] thanks Flannel [02:17] TrustNoOne, afaik the linux version of xchat does not have this feature [02:17] everything that uses sound keeps freezing on me [02:17] what is the ubuntu? [02:18] ubottu: I do not want to guess root password. I have root access if I want. I have just know where Ubuntu sets PATH variable becase I need to add one more catalog. [02:18] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:18] basti, i remember doing it on a previous distro of ubuntu with xchat... [02:18] TrustNoOne, you are right [02:18] ubottu: It looks like "sudo su" sets few paths but I do not know how it knows what to set [02:18] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:18] Xlayer: an operating system [02:19] fuck [02:19] hipertracker, no cursing [02:19] hipertracker, dont use su use sudo [02:19] TrustNoOne, preferneces > chat > warnigs > enable tray icon [02:19] why won't it let me save my sources.list file?

[02:20] bazhang: I have to. Some libraries use it [02:20] i am going to go read a faq that explains to me who sudo is, and i'll come back [02:20] basti, yeah I did that but when i close the xchat window it doesnt minimize to tray, instead it quits [02:20] Datz, for the network manager gui I am not too sure [02:20] i have two partition one for windows and the other for Ubuntu .i wanna destroy windows and large hard disk .how can you do that? [02:20] Datz, i can check [02:21] bronze1052: "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" or "gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list", but general knowledge is good too [02:21] bazhang: err, I do not use sudo su at all. I use sudo my command and it does not work as I expect. [02:21] TrustNoOne, thanks, I'm looking too. :) [02:21] TrustNoOne, works for me. so sorry.... [02:21] dido: keep the dual boot just in case :) seriously [02:21] I think saturday is imbisol day. [02:21] basti, the way you told me isnt the same for me, i dont have warnings section, it is alerts section, what version of xchat do you have [02:21] Loganhoup: friday is troll day\ [02:21] cool [02:22] whats monday? [02:22] bazhang: e.g. sudo whatever-i-type does not keep $PATH for current user nor for root [02:22] hwilde, I am back [02:22] I hate monkeys day? [02:22] Loganhoup: monday is just another monday [02:22] TrustNoOne, i have am german and i just translated. didnt knoe the actual translation they used [02:22] Loganhoup, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [02:22] *an german version* [02:22] i have a weird problem with ubuntu, it's the same in this topic : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=363958 [02:22] plz help ! [02:22] td123, you too [02:22] bazhang: see : http://wklej.org/id/4143/ [02:22] can anyone recomend a good explanation of sudo doc? [02:22] hipertracker: the sudo man page should be able to clear it up [02:22] bazhang: ok:P [02:22] bronze1052: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:23] someone never heard about a snoopdos application for linux ? [02:23] Flannel: bullshit. man does not explain anything about loosing $PATH [02:23] hipertracker: Please watch your language. [02:23] hipertracker, lose the attitude and the cursing [02:23] or something like that ? [02:23] Flannel: it is frustrated [02:23] btw... I <3 flannel [02:24] Datz, try nm-applet [02:24] hipertracker: and, it does. Read the bottom parts regarding the environment. [02:24] Datz, http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/ [02:24] anybody know why when I print stuff it always goes to "held" status?

I've read that ASLA should be used, but i do. The even odder thing is, i can have Flash, Movieplayer, Amarok, all playing at the same time. But some specific problems wont play at the same time.. thoughts? [02:25] hwilde: why not change $PATH instead? I want to chaneg $PATH [02:25] hipertracker, type in sudo chaneg $PATH then [02:25] Leefmc, it's the OSS driver which cannot be accessed from multiple apps [02:25] any ideas why vsftpd on pam_userdb with crypted passwords isn't working? i'm pretty sure the hashes and the db are ok, the whole thing worked when it used plaintext password, i simply regenerated the db file and set the crypted=crypted option in the pam config [02:26] hwilde: But it does not work! That is whole point. [02:26] I've got a headless server running hardy and I have the kde-core package (to provide a gui) installed. I'm looking to get a vnc server set up so that I can login to my headless box through KDM through VNC. I've looked around and tried several different methods but no success. I am aware that under most circumstances this would be considered an unwise setup but I would really like to be able to have a persistent X with KDE session availa [02:26] Leefmc, at the same time of course [02:26] hipertracker, what I said to do will work [02:26] When you look at http://www.nbc.com/The_Tonight_Show_with_Jay_Leno/video/episodes/, can you pick an episode of NBC's Tonight Show to watch, or do you just see NBC's peacock? [02:26] Holydiver: But under sound, i have ALSA chosen for all dropdowns. What is the issue? [02:26] tell me thats not a big post [02:26] message whatever [02:26] Leefmc, you cannot play sound from more than one app ?? [02:26] Leefmc, I have the same issue, I can play amarok and totem at the same time, but I can't watch videos on youtube while totem or amarok are playing... I have to turn them off and restart firefox for youtube to work [02:26] is there a way to format a hd of a notebook by local network ( lan ) without run any live cd, just connecting a notebook-pc cable? [02:27] yabuk. I don't think so, try googling it [02:27] hwilde: it is dirty hack and it does not explain why sudo command does not see PATH for root nor for current user. [02:27] Leefmc, ah i see now :D and i have the same problem :D i never knew why flash videos don't play sound sometimes [02:27] ok [02:27] Holydiver: Mine is similar to trust's. Except i CAN listen to flash, movieplayer, amarok, etc, but SOME apps (in this case, vmware and amarok) wont play together. [02:27] so anybody can help ? i have the same problem than this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=363958 [02:27] it is amazing how many problems in here can be solved by a google search or even a buntuforums search [02:28] when using imap with gmail does evolution download the emails onto the computer? and back up the files? [02:28] hipertracker, sudo will see root's path. [02:28] Leefmc, well i cannot help you since i have the same problem and i cannot help myself :D [02:28] !ot | Loganhoup [02:28] Loganhoup: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:28] Holydiver: Heh, k [02:28] Leefmc, sorry :P [02:28] .... [02:28] hwilde: You should be able to configure it to do it, (if it doesn't by default) [02:28] Loganhoup, take chat elsewhere [02:28] hwilde: It does NOT [02:28] Leefmc, I wouldn't worry much about it, as I said I have a similar issue and it's not like i need to watch youtube videos while listening to amarok right? [02:28] Leefmc, i thought u were saying something else [02:28] bazhang, go hang your balls on a tree [02:28] evenin' folks [02:28] Loganhoup: Please be polite. [02:28] I try [02:29] is there a vncviewer that can scale?? [02:29] TrustNoOne: In that example sure, but i basically need to do _everything_ while listening to amarok. [02:29] hwilde: see http://wklej.org/id/4142/ [02:29] whats the difference between "su and "sudo" ; and is my root password different from my user password (the only password i've put on the system)? [02:29] Hi [02:29] bronze1052, with su you become root [02:29] is anybody else having problems with http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ ? [02:29] bronze1052: You have no root password (root account is locked). sudo uses your user password. [02:29] with sudo you execute a command as root [02:30] So i'm in my /usr/src/ folder, and i'm trying to do my HDA, and its asking my to use the linux kernel file [02:30] sudo execute command as root but in unpredictable environment [02:30] exept i have two linux kernel folders [02:30] hipertracker: Can you give us the output of echo $PATH && sudo echo $PATH ? [02:30] Leefmc, on my laptop I have the main audio on speaker and a headset using USB, I can listen to amaork on my speakers while chatting on skype using my headset, I just have to change the programs audio options to my headset, so perhaps try that method? [02:30] when using imap with gmail does evolution download the emails onto the computer? and back up the files? also whats a good spam filter ? bogofliter? or spamassasin?? [02:30] Kevin21, you have two source/header folders [02:30] Kevin21, uname -r [02:31] so sudo is a temporary root permission; whereas su would be a permanent permission (if it weren't locked by default) ? [02:31] TrustNoOne: Nah, i'd prefer to fix it. [02:31] linux.headers-2.6.24-19 and 24-21 [02:31] brock081, exactly [02:31] uname -r? [02:31] i'm seting up a lamp on my computer, but seeing that i can already access webpages from my /index.htm [02:31] basti: uname-r? [02:31] starn: You should be able to configure it to do it, (if it doesn't by default) [02:31] flannel: root account is not "locked". it isn't activated [02:31] what is the use of mysql? [02:31] Leefmc, let me know if u find a solution then... because I hate restarting firefox ^_^ [02:31] Loganhoup: It is locked. [02:31] you can activate it by running sudo passwd root [02:31] then why can I log in with it [02:31] Flannel: http://wklej.org/id/4146/ [02:31] Loganhoup: that's the same as unlocking it. And please don't recommend that here. [02:32] It is highly unrecommended to use it with GUI [02:32] Flannel: ok.. but know wich spam filter works best? [02:32] and so I never have and never will reccommend it. Just saying. it is there... [02:32] Loganhoup, you understand once you set the root password, I can hack it, right ? [02:33] but if you don't set the root pw...... [02:33] well good news everyone i got world of warcraft to run on Ubuntu :) [02:33] basti: which one do i use? [02:33] lacy, with wine?

[02:35] hipertracker: probably thunderbird, or mozilla-thunderbird [02:35] what do the "su" and "sudo" abbreviations stand for? if anything [02:35] bronze1052, super user [02:35] yabuk: dpkg -L mozilla-thunderbird | grep bin [02:35] Flannel, nicew [02:35] bronze1052: Super User, and Super User DO [02:35] bronze1052: and sudo is switch user do [02:35] trustnoone, does the "do" in "sudo" abbreviate anything? [02:36] Thank you [02:36] bronze1052: its a verb [02:36] sudo is fake root su becomes root [02:36] bronze1052, not that i know of [02:36] bronze1052, it abbreviates "execute" [02:36] suexecute is a bit much to type [02:36] Winston_SmithVT: i think so it might be called firefox-3.0-gnome-support or firefox-gnomer-support but its something like that [02:36] trustnoone, hwilde; yes, i'm assuming "do" is for the verb "do" ; like execute [02:36] !info firefox-gnome-support | Winston_SmithVT [02:36] winston_smithvt: firefox-gnome-support (source: firefox-3.0): meta package pointing to the latest gnome-support package for firefox.

[02:40] how can i change it by command line [02:40] Jay^: like one that can be divided into 3 and another that can't [02:41] dido: you can't.

I've tried the methods mentioned in many guides and nothing has worked. My server's running 8.04 and I'm using a mac to access it. [02:47] hold on a sec [02:47] dido: Well, in terms of what it will run, there's some difference. In terms of what's available, not a whole lot of difference. As was previously mentioned, hardware (and sometimes plugin) compatibility tends to be the biggest thing. [02:47] Jay^, will this allow me to transfer a source file to the desktop and compile it using a program on the remote host? [02:47] Kevin_, which step isn't working? [02:47] Hi, I this is not really a Ubuntu help question. It is more like a related question I was wondering how do I get Banshee on Windows Xp Service Pack 2 [02:47] rjwoestm: yes [02:48] Falling-Inferno: ##windows for windows support [02:48] Falling-Inferno, #ubuntu-offtopic or ##windows [02:48] Kevin_: user tightVNC viewer, i think u can get it for the mac [02:48] how can I change the default windowmanager to emerald instead of metacity? [02:48] flannel:http://paste.ubuntu.com/46755/ [02:48] just change your startup script to start it instead of gdm [02:48] hotmonkeyluv, alt f2 emerald --replace [02:48] Well I get through all of the steps listed. That is installing the vnc packages and xinetd, setting up the config files, etc. Once I try to use my vnc client I am immediately disconnected. [02:48] Jay^, should i install the putty-tools package also? [02:49] * flyback bbl [02:49] Loganhoup: you'll notice those are 5 different kernel versions (14, 16, 17, 18, 19) === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:49] yes? lamen terms please [02:49] bazhang, when I do that, nothing happens [02:49] Loganhoup: You know what the linux kernel is? [02:49] Jay^, where is this startup script you mention? [02:49] hotmonkeyluv, then install some themes in the manager (are you in compiz?) [02:49] not really, I can't recall a command to get it [02:50] Loganhoup: the kernel is what does all the... heavy lifting of an OS [02:50] rjwoestm: putty on it's own should be sufficient for normal SSH operation [02:50] bazhang, I'm not able to use compiz with metacity, so I'm trying emerald [02:50] I've tried setting up a tunnel through ssh and when I run the vnc client I see something like the following: "connection 3: open failed: failed: connection refused" [02:50] I know what the kernel is [02:50] what is new latest news about Ubuntu, [02:50] Loganhoup: Anyway, it's been updated since you first installed. And the old versions stick around, and are able to be booted to. [02:50] oh, ok [02:50] dido, this is not the chat channel; see #ubuntu-offtopic [02:51] Loganhoup: You pick one version to boot to at boot, the reason theres 10 instead of 5, is each one has a recovery console option [02:51] so it's not technically a bad thing [02:51] Jay^, putty-tools was auto-selected by synaptic when i clicked to install putty hahah [02:51] hotmonkeyluv: the script where when you login it starts /bin/bash and writes a welcome message. can someone confirm where this is, as i'm not on a unix system atm [02:51] !who | Kevin21 [02:51] Kevin21: 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 :) [02:51] bringatowel, sorry I forgot to address my responses to you [02:51] Loganhoup: to remove them, you can remove the packages through package management, and they'll go away. Its a good idea to leave at least one known good old version, incase the new one has a bug. [02:51] hotmonkeyluv, you dont use compiz with metacity [02:51] hey, why is it that even though I updated my Alsa drivers, lib and utils, when i search alsa in my synaptics manager, it still shows the old version? [02:52] ok, thank you for your help. [02:52] bazhang, yeah, i've noticed... lol [02:52] heh [02:52] . [02:52] bazhang: he is trying to load compiz INSTEAD of metacity but keep gnome [02:52] Kevin_, what is the exact command you are using for the tunnel? [02:52] Can anybody tell me what the menu launcher settings are for Thunderbird in gnome? I have messed up my launcher and it keeps trying to launch it and then it cannot [02:52] Jay^, that does not make sense [02:52] what tunnel [02:53] Has anyone had any luck converting videos for the xbox 360 ? [02:53] Kevin21, sorry that was meant for Kevin_ [02:53] halycon: alt+f2 then start typing thun, see if it fills it out for you [02:53] oh n/w [02:53] Jay^: It does complete it but there was some argument that it has in the default menu item [02:53] bringatowel, I am usingt ssh -L 5901:192.168.0.196:5901 kevin@192.168.0.196 [02:54] what is the topic of today? [02:54] I was messing around with alltray trying to get it to autodock it to the notification area [02:54] Jay^, bazhang: i'm gonna try to reboot, sometimes that helps. Of course, sometimes it sucks [02:54] and I wrecked it [02:54] dido, this is ubuntu support. [02:54] dido, go to #ubuntu-offtopic for chat. [02:54] halycon: I think it passes an usigned integer (%u) by default. [02:54] bazhang: can you explain what doesn't make sense? i can't remember what the display manager for compiz is called so i just refered to it as compiz, does it make sense what i'm saying now ? [02:55] is there a way to find out what bluetooth card was built into my laptop? [02:55] ok great [02:55] it is back [02:55] Kevin_, im not sure, but i think you want to use "ssh -N -p 22 kevin@192.168.0.196 -L 5901/localhost/5901" [02:55] Kevin_, then point VNC to localhost:1 [02:56] bringatowel, I will give that a shot [02:56] Could someone tell me what i should type in to check my alsa base version in command line? [02:56] please === wsuetholz_top_ is now known as wsuetholz_top [02:56] when useing padsp teamspeak when i talk it echos badly.. with no one keyed in. only echo's to them but if i run teamspeak normally it works fine. but no other app had sound is there a fix for this? [02:57] Kevin21:dpkg -l alsa-base [02:57] i love you [02:57] bringatowel, I'm going to go through the configuration steps from top to bottom and then try what you suggested. Thank you. [02:57] is there a way to find out when it is planned to recompile the kernel and upload a new package since gcc version was updated? [02:57] apt-cache show alsa-base does the trick. also [02:57] I can't compile any kernel modules :( [02:58] phirestalker, the easiest way is to use apt-get install dist-upgrade [02:58] Kevin_, no prob, it shouldn't be that hard, pretty much just install vnc4server (or tightvncserver) on the remote machine, start it from an ssh shell, make the tunnel, then connect with the client :) [02:58] wait, no i don't pkg isnt a recognized command [02:58] phirestalker: trutht be told, i've only done it that way [02:58] dpkg* [02:58] Jay^, that is not correct. [02:58] bringatowel, will do [02:58] ah thanks [02:58] Jay^, wouldn't it come through on update manager? [02:59] Jay^, dist-upgrade is not an installable package [02:59] anybody know why when using padsp teamspeak when i talk it echo's badly.. with no one keyed in. only echo's to them but if i run teamspeak normally it works fine. but no other app had sound is there a fix for this? [02:59] phirestalker,bazhang: i don't know, is it apt-get dist-upgrade on it's own ?

[03:32] wineo: ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to the GUI [03:33] Flannel: thank you [03:33] Kevin_, sounds good, it would be nice but im not sure how to arrange that, usually just SSH into the remote machine and start it manually with the vnc4server comman, plus -geometry or whatever other options are needed :) [03:34] where would I find what bluetooth device I have in my system? lspci is not showing it [03:34] hwilde can you clarify load the theme i dont see that option under tools [03:34] bringatowel, ok a perl script can do all that for me :D [03:34] dstrbdfr1, tools preferences themes add [03:35] Can anyone point me in the direction of some information on setting up and securing SSH? [03:35] bringatowel, oh sorry one more thing I wasn't clear on, from the guide I'm using (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402) there is no indication as to whether or not kdm itself has to be started before I use vnc. What do you think? [03:35] !ssh > Winston_SmithVT [03:35] Winston_SmithVT, please see my private message [03:35] Kevin_, yes indeed, usually not many options are needed, i only use -geometry in case im connecting from my laptop (1024x768) or desktop (128x768) [03:36] Kevin_, my understanding is that you need to start KDM from ~/.vnc/xstartup [03:36] #ubuntu-br [03:36] bringatowel, ... ok i see thanks :) [03:36] hwilde the only option i have to add a theme is smiley theme and it doesnt wok === hiptobecubic^ is now known as hiptobecubic [03:38] if anyone uses compiz, why isnt my cube 3d? it rotates but its 2d.

[03:39] droopsta915: You must set your desktop to use at least four virtual horizontal desktops. [03:39] Kevin_, hmm that is not exactly what i did to configure vnc, but you know there are more than 1 way to do it, in xfce for example you can just add "startxfce4 &" to the end of ~/.vnc/xstartup [03:39] fxd-> modify /boot/grub/menu.lst to remove the unwanted option [03:40] bringatowel, working on it now :D [03:41] Is there a key combination to do "Lock Screen"?

[03:51] does anyone know why in Rythmbox, it can't load files from an smb windows share file with an IP address, but can if the pc's name is used? [03:51] whats the best GUI for ssh and scp ? for clicking and dragging files to my remote servers? [03:52] Denestria: what do you think about Ekiga is that better than Skype [03:52] T3 I like ekiga [03:52] Joeseph, nope. But sounds like a good question to ask the developers, or maybe in the launchpad page [03:52] Joeseph, just mount the smb share [03:53] dashnu try filezilla [03:53] Flannel: I'm trying to format one hd of one notebook by using a pc-pc cable (lan) without use a live cd on notebook, and how do this is my question.

I haven't identified a clear pattern, but they seem to happen after I resume from hibernation. I've looked through the laptop & hardware ubuntu help forum, and haven't found this problem. [03:53] Joeseph, no it doesnt. add them to fstab [03:53] dashnu: whay is Ekiga better than skype [03:54] Joeseph, that is an interesting issue, one workaround would be to use smbfs (install pyneighborhood for a nice gui) [03:54] hecate: does it support keys? [03:54] dashnu sure [03:54] T3 cause its built for gnome :p [03:54] !fstab [03:54] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

(dirves are partitioned [04:02] hey guys... [04:02] yters, the kernel and its modules should be responsible for suspend or hibernation, so it is fixed in the kernel you can do little about it.

[04:27] 8.10 [04:27] Flang, ndiswrapper is a kernel module "ndiswrapper.ko" somewhere with other modules, but to use it you need the "utils", which are not included and must install.

[04:32] jigp, right click on the page : show source [04:32] Flang, do you now anything about the Ubuntu package manager and how to use "sudo apt-get install " ? [04:32] MrX_: did you try the hardware drivers manager first? [04:32] Denestria - thanks. :) [04:32] jigp, did you success to download it? [04:32] Vocx - No :-( [04:32] !apt > tux [04:32] tux, please see my private message [04:32] t [04:33] danbh_intrepid: yes with varying results ranging from just reseting the xorg.conf to blank screen of darkness [04:33] danbh_intrepid: i will do that, but before, is there any quick way to install grub from this live cd before i reboot? i would like to run windows if it wont work instead of livecd [04:33] sixth_: grub isnt installed already? [04:33] danbh_intrepid: i dont think [04:33] Flang, it would be wise to investigate on those topics a little. Can't you plug an ethernet cable to the laptop, so you can at least download stuff there directly? [04:33] danbh_intrepid: it doesnt ask me another on boot [04:34] guys what was that vmware specific distro ubuntu had [04:34] it had a specific name [04:34] velk or whatever [04:34] it was something short [04:34] Vocx - yes, I can do that (but it will disconnect me from this machine and irc)..what would be the best thing for me to do after plugging in the ethernet to that machine? [04:34] sixth_: usually grub is always installed, and if you have windows, it prompts you which OS you would like to boot [04:35] danbh_intrepid: well, it doesnt :P is there any easy way to install it now? [04:35] quick q...i'm online with wireless but I don't see the nm-applet in the system tray area by the clock. Is there some way to get that back? I've tried rebooting as well just doesn't show up any clues? [04:35] is *.pnm something a non linux user can use to view a scanned image or I have to have it on a different extention? (for windows) [04:36] what was the terminal command to uninstall a program? [04:36] dlozarie-> if you used synaptic before, sudo apt-get remove -purge paackagename [04:36] Flang, get some packages run: "sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-headers ndiswrapper-utils-1.9" but since you know very little, I would advice opening the package manager and investigating the system before doing anything else. [04:36] !fixgrub > sixth_ you can try this..., but i dont know [04:36] sixth_, please see my private message [04:36] amenado - thanks. [04:37] hi, anyone know well the udev? [04:37] Vocx - Ok, thanks for all of your help and patience! [04:37] I have a question about the udev. [04:37] Flang, you need to know at least how to install packages from the repositories, what the repositories are, what a packages is! essential stuff to survive. [04:37] what are the advantages of running the open dns servers as opposed to my isp's dns server in ubuntu? [04:38] Vocx - gotcha [04:38] what are the libraries to be installed to run a socket program in c .....? [04:38] I have a webcam about the microdia, I had download the driver, and compiled success, and I can load the driver module, but I found ubuntu don't create the device file for this driver. [04:38] I use dmesg, I can saw the message after load driver. [04:38] quick q...i'm online with wireless but I don't see the nm-applet in the system tray area by the clock. Is there some way to get that back? I've tried rebooting as well just doesn't show up any clues? [04:38] hi all, wazzup :) [04:38] but didn't created the device file. [04:39] who can help me on this issue? [04:39] hylinux: try gstreamer-properties to test your webcam [04:39] zelrikriando : success downloading but i cannot play it in vlc :( [04:39] deeperror: alt+f2 nm-applet [04:39] danbh_intrepid: one time I ran nvidia-xconfig I lost my mouse. I've wiped the drive 3 times now with different downloads of ubuntu to make sure I didn't have a bad burn, sadly everything runs fine in windows, but I really would like to use ubuntu. [04:39] i used add/remove to get OO.o formula. Now I can't find it. Where is it? [04:39] zelrikriando : how to play swf? [04:39] what are the libraries to be installed to run a socket program in c .....? I can run the program in windows but not in linux .. why ? [04:39] danbh_intrepid: hi, I had installed the cheese, but I have not the device file /dev/video0 [04:40] just installed ubuntu on this pc and its not detecting any resolution but 800x600 [04:40] danbh_intrepid: I can saw the response when I load the driver module, I used the dmesg [04:40] MrX_: there is a cd boot option to check the cd, you should use that [04:40] but system didn't create a device file for me. [04:40] running dpkg-reconfigure xserver doesnt get me any further [04:40] hylinux: see my above message [04:40] danbh_intrepid: any idea? [04:40] Hi, i'm running the most recent version of intrepid ibex and i'm having troubles with my dual screen setup (intel 915 intagrated laptop display) [04:40] TooR4u, maybe you are using Windows-specific libraries? In which case they are not available in Linux, just a guess. [04:40] danbh_intrepid: use gstreamer-properties? [04:40] I have the extended desktop setup just fine [04:40] gaintsura, yea its running also see it in ps list but no icon that i can click on to switch wireless networks [04:40] gaintsura, any other clues? [04:41] whenever I launch anything the external monitor goes black until the application loads [04:41] danbh_intrepid: yeah... that was done and if I recall that can't detect everything right? [04:41] anyone have a clue what might cause this? [04:41] I need some help with amanda. I have it backing things up - but I can't figure out how to restore files. I want to restore them to a temp dir i have my my system [04:41] !ibex | ak-49 [04:41] ak-49: 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! [04:41] danbh_intrepid: i typed root and setup commands in "grub" but only for the hdd that ubuntu is installed on, is this okay? my windows is on a other hdd [04:41] MrX_: I dunno, I thought it was supposed to work well [04:41] hi, who can help me: my built-in webcam always be hot although i don't use it [04:41] karex: pour water on it [04:41] gaintsura, maybe the icon is just hidden maybe there is an nm-applet conf file [04:42] danbh_intrepid: I had tested [04:42] vocx, may be !! Do all the libraries installed by default ..? I have installed the essential libraries to run a program .. ! [04:42] karex, unplug it when not in use? [04:42] but response is there is no /dev/video0 [04:42] pour water on it cant be a good thing [04:42] sixth_: I dunno, Ive never been very good with grub. I can edit menu.lst, thats it.. L( [04:42] lol [04:42] bringatowel: it plugged in my laptop [04:42] hi! is it possible to open a link within Irssi? I mean, without the need to copy the url and paste it in a webbrowser? [04:42] danbh_intrepid: alot of other distros I've been tooling with say that the check can't cover everything, I noticed that ubuntu is one of the few that doesn't [04:42] hello how to play swf? i tried in vlc but no luck [04:43] danbh_intrepid: is there any specific command to "activate" it? i just never saw it running on bootup [04:43] karex, if it is really bad you can return it to the store, or just unplug it when you dont want to use it [04:43] Can anyone help with graphics mode problem? Am stuck in 800x600 but can do 1920x1200 native... [04:43] hey guys [04:43] i used add/remove to get OO.o formula. Now I can't find it. Where is it? [04:43] any one setup ffmpeg before on their server [04:43] Ok, I have a mounted iso on my desktop [04:43] jigp, swf is adobe flash, you probably should install the flash plugin from adobe's website [04:43] now how do I run it [04:44] Anyone [04:44] mn: menu -> office [04:44] TooR4u, Did you install "build-essential" ? I don't program in C, so I can't tell if you need additional libraries, but if your code has windows.h or something like that, it most probably won't work, and you would need to port those parts to the linux way of doing sockets. [04:44] MrX_, try enabling proprietary drivers? what video card do you have? [04:44] gaintsura: that's what I thought but it's not there [04:44] !enter | TheMaxzilla [04:44] TheMaxzilla: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:44] TooR4u, go to #ubuntu-programming and ask, maybe someone know. [04:44] im having the same video issue [04:44] stuck in 800x600 [04:44] intel driver [04:45] MrX_: make sure that compiz is off [04:45] TheMaxzilla, what do you mean run it, if its mounted you can open it, right? [04:45] is there anyway to check what brand of card reader my laptop has? [04:45] danbh_intrepid: have tried to enable restricted drivers, but they won't load. I have nvidia geforce2 [04:45] bringatowel: Yeah. I want to install it... [04:45] MrX_: what do you mean, they wont load? [04:45] It's openSUSE os, and I'm pretty clueless. [04:46] danbh_intrepid: is there any specific command to "activate" it? i just never saw it running on bootup [04:46] hey, i have a quick question, i'm installing ubuntu on the wife's laptop (she finally agreed to try it for a week, i'm doing the manual install because i need to preserve other partitions on the drive, i've selected the partition, do i choose '/' as the mount point? also if i wish to set 20 GB for root and the rest for home do i make the partitions and then set the 20GB part's mountpoint as '/' and the other as '/home'? [04:46] danbh_intrepid: It downloads the drivers, installs them, but never loads them [04:46] TheMaxzilla, how can you install openSUSE if you are already running Ubuntu? if you want to set up dual-boot, you should burn the ISO to cd and boot from it [04:46] MrX_: well, you can check your xorg.conf file, just change nv to nvidia thats it [04:47] danbh_intrepid: (little dot stays red) and it does nothing [04:47] TheMaxzilla, you can't just install OpenSUSE like that, you need to burn... well bringatowel was faster [04:47] It won't burn from CDs right. [04:47] lol [04:47] Any other options? [04:47] TheMaxzilla, what do you mean it won't burn [04:47] sixth_: maybe sudoo update-grub but again, I don't know much about grub [04:47] It farts out an error [04:48] amirman, usually you are fine using "/" as the mount point, you don't need seperate / and /home partitions unless you have some specific reason [04:48] danbh_intrepid: tried that too. after restart it drops down to low-res mode and tells me I need to pick either an new configuration, default, or backup [04:48] gaintsura, found it....had to right click on the panel and add the notification area back to the panel and they reappeared...thanks! [04:48] When I burn it from k3b, it burns it to a DVD-RW and spits out an error [04:48] TheMaxzilla, can you burn other cds okay? [04:48] No [04:49] good one deeperror =) [04:49] bringatowel: i just heard it was faster, but i guess i'm fine with having just one partition for ubuntu and who knows what other problems that might cause [04:49] * danopia heard someone mention nvidia [04:49] bringatowel: so do i choose / as the mountpoint? [04:49] TheMaxzilla, well it sounds like there is some problem with your burner then [04:49] anyone know why reconfiguring xserver only lets me configure the keyboard [04:49] and stops before it gets to the video part [04:49] danbh_intrepid: I've updated the system, checked for broken, orphaned, missing packages [04:49] amirman, you can create the separate partition in you want, there is nothing wrong with that. [04:50] MrX_: did it install nvidia-glx-legacy? [04:50] vocx: would i run into any weirdness? [04:50] amirman, it's not faster in any way, the purpose is for multi-user systems where files might be stored on many different hard drives. the default option "/" is fine :) [04:50] I need some help with amanda. I have it backing things up - but I can't figure out how to restore files. I want to restore them to a temp dir i have my my system [04:50] danbh_intrepid: hmmm at one point...let me check to see what it is [04:50] thanks bringatowel and vocx [04:50] to resize my ubuntu partition I would have to use a liveCD right? [04:51] wrong [04:51] amirman, no, in fact, it might be useful if you want to wipe out Ubunte later. The root partition may be lost but not /home which is where you data may be. [04:51] Razer: Yes [04:51] Jordan_U, ty [04:51] vocx, it won't hurt but why make things more complicated? [04:51] Razer: np [04:51] MrX_: make sure that compiz is off, and that you have nvdia-glx-legacy, and not nvidia-glx [04:51] how can I go from 8.04.1 to 8.10 alpha 5? [04:52] bringatowel, how is it complicated to have two partitions? Talk about having each directory in a partition, that maybe too much. [04:52] vocx: ok, good idea, where should i position my swap space? in between the root and home partitions? [04:52] vocx, thank you .. [04:52] mn: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid [04:52] vocx, 2 > 1 =P [04:52] danbh_intrepid: do I need to remove compiz? or just turn off. [04:52] MrX_: just turn it off [04:54] amirman, it doesn't matter. Swap space is just swap. In fact you don't need a partition as swap memory, swap memory could also be a single file. But that is a little more complicated. So you are fine. [04:54] Hello all [04:55] anyone know if there's a way to compare list of intalled packages with default list from a clear install? [04:55] hi [04:55] I have a problem, my ntfs hdd containing music after using in Unbuntu can now not be accessed at the file level, some folders / files are ok but my music directory is hidden? [04:56] buono, don't know exactly, but the log may list them somewhere around /var/log/apt === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja [04:59] barried, is it hidden on linux or windows? [05:00] i did a lot of changes with apt, i wanna know if there are missing packages and which ones have been added, compared to default [05:01] buono: I can tell you how to check for missing packages from default (at least I think thats what this does): sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ not a spelling error [05:01] buono, I think the packages that are installed by default can be browsed from the Ubuntu CD. [05:02] you want me to browse all packages and check one by one if missing? [05:02] help. i just installed 8.10 and now i have no GUI [05:02] how do i load up a GUI on intrepid? [05:02] !ibex | kevin21 [05:02] kevin21: 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! [05:02] and there shouldn't be any package missing, that's mainly to check for what i installed and left there [05:03] buono, well, you would use something like a shell script to list and compare files, I don't know. [05:03] gah, that doesn't help! how do i revert back then? [05:03] kevin21, the channel for ibex is not here. [05:03] kevin21: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [05:03] kevin21, how about "startx"? [05:03] kevin21, it is in #ubuntu+1 [05:03] merci, merci merci [05:04] If I put my /home on its own partition, how do I now point/mount to /home so that Ubuntu doesnt go crazy? Im not sure but Im trying to avoid any problems in advance [05:04] RenzoreK, /etc/fstab [05:04] how do i fix my volume control on my panel, i get sound but it does not adjust volume [05:04] !fstab | RenzoreK [05:04] RenzoreK: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [05:05] RenzoreK: in the installer you mount it as /home during partitioning [05:05] What would the command be to symlink ~/home/files/ to a link at ~/homes/links/files === gamedev is now known as strategy [05:05] dinx: Thanks [05:05] RenzoreK, the manual page from "man fstab" may also be read. [05:05] Thedjatclubrock, ln -s /home/files /home/links/files [05:05]  how do i fix my volume control on my panel, i get sound but it does not adjust volume [05:05] dinx: Thank you [05:06] vocx: On windows, fine on linux [05:06] vocx: so it doesn't matter where i put the swap partition? [05:06] also note if you specify /home you dont need to add ~/ [05:06] amirman, what you mean ? [05:06] amirman, nope. Mine is after my /boot partition and before / , but that's just because I was messing with partitions before. [05:06] is there any way to loose KDE after installing ubuntu-desktop and get rid of the KDE login screen and make it the Gnome login screen basically turning it into Ubuntu? [05:07] !puregnome | mn [05:07] mn, yeah its in the options at the login screen [05:07] mn: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [05:07] mn, In short yes. [05:07] barried, well, you do know how to view hidden files on Windows?Or what is the problem again? [05:07] how do you restart xserver? [05:07] how do i fix my volume control on my panel, i get sound but it does not adjust volume [05:07] dinx: i'm manually doing the partitions for an install and i'm just wondering if the order matters [05:07] from terminal, i assume [05:08] amirman, no shouldnt matter [05:08] brolly81: make sure you have the correct device selected in the 'switch' [05:08] dinx: vocx: cool, thanks [05:09] where is switch located? [05:09] Lamont_Jones: ctrl+alt+backspace will kill x, and then it restart automagically [05:09] dinx: I want to symlink ./chapter_hosting/hhh/ to ./ssldir/hhh/, I can't seem to get to do so [05:09] could someone tell me where do i setup for ubuntu not show me the windows contents while resizing and moving? [05:09] dan_, thanks [05:09] brolly81: oo, i goofed - sorry. file->change device-> [05:09] Lamont_Jones, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [05:10] @search Changing Images of Man [05:10] o.O [05:10] NaoFaloIngles, iirc system -> prefs -> appearance [05:11] I want to symlink ./chapter_hosting/hhh/ to ./ssldir/hhh/, I can't seem to get to do so [05:11] kann hier jemand deutsch [05:11] !de | waldschrad [05:11] waldschrad: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [05:12] Thedjatclubrock: what's with the ~ and . you keep putting there? [05:12] Hey, is it possible to use my wireless card to connect to an access point and simultaneously use it to create an ad-hoc network for ICS (in order to let a device without WPA-enterprise capabilities get on the network...) ? [05:12] Thedjatclubrock: are you sure those are the correct paths? [05:12] bringatowel, is that for gnome or irc? [05:13] is there anyway to check what brand of card reader my laptop has? [05:13] Gnea: I am 99% sure [05:13] Arodon: only if you have more than 1 radio on it [05:13] could someone offer me some advice please? i'm having trouble when I launch any application one of the my monitors (I have 2 the laptop LCD and an external LCD, the problem is with the external LCD) tempoarily goes blank while the application launches when it is finnished the monitor shows everything you would expect. everything else seems to be working even compiz. I have tried turning compiz off but it makes no difference. anyone have any ide [05:13] lsusb ? [05:13] It just turns red bash [05:13] in absh* [05:13] bringatowel, i want to disable the show content on gnome, so i can resize and move a window without seeing the contents [05:13] okay, i tried to load it with ctrl+alt+f1, and i got this error "kernel panic: not syncing: fatal exception in interrupt" [05:13] Thedjatclubrock: ln --help will give you the proper syntax [05:13] How can I see what is running on a specific port? [05:14] NaoFaloIngles, oops sorry yeah that option isnt there... trying to remember where to find it.... [05:14] i cant find file->change device to fix my volume problem [05:14] Thedjatclubrock, you could get into ssldir and run "ln -s chapter_hosting/hhh" I think this way also works. [05:14] MTecknology: sudo netstat -nap | grep [05:14] MTecknology, wireshark [05:14] ty [05:14] bringatowel, ok :) [05:14] LSD|Ninja: if that was directed to me, no. it does not come up in lsusb, or lspci for that matter [05:14] hey guys, question, ive been looking around for the answer to this, but i keep getting old results, so i was wondering, is it possible to do full screen video with skype? [05:14] FloodBot1, I'm sorry to hear that you cannot love. [05:15] sixth_: I think you have a bad install, plain and simple. I would just reinstall, making sure the cd is good [05:15] Gnea: alright, that makes sense. I'll see what I can work out using the howtos for wired->wireless sharing instead. Thanks [05:15] danbh_intrepid: the problem now is that i cannot go back to windows, grub isnt installed :/ [05:15] BitWraith: please do not do that. [05:16] BitWraith, what? [05:16] remu: Yeah, at least on Windows. [05:16] Gnea, Ian made me do it. I won't do it again. [05:16] sixth_: I would still try to get a good hardy cd, and install that. Grub should have been installed... [05:16] Arodon: oh - yes, it can be done. didn't realize you wanted a wired/wireless through the laptop [05:16] Kabaka: not on ubuntu? [05:17] remu: I don't remember. I haven't taken a Skype call on Ubuntu for a while. [05:17] remu: Why not just try and see? :-\ [05:17] bringatowel, i look after that option at system > preferences > appearence but isnt there, could it be at gconf-editor? [05:17] Kabaka: cause none of my contacts are online, lol, and I need to test this out by tomorrow, lol [05:17] Gnea: that'll work fine, yes. I was curious if it would be possible to pull it off with a single card though (it would be a little more convenient in my case, but no showstopper) [05:17] NaoFaloIngles, yes it is in gconf-editor [05:18] Arodon: i don't see why not [05:18] bringatowel, ok i will take a look and see if i can find it [05:18] remu: Want me to give ya a video call then? I'm sure it's not documented anywhere. The Linux version of Skype is kind of crap. [05:18] Arodon, I thin it also depends on the driver. What driver are you using? [05:18] bringatowel, tyvm :) [05:18] Howdy I need an alternate way to install ubuntu (studio). I have two hard drives one which I can store the iso on. IS there any way that I can install to my primary from my secondary? [05:18] xess, ask them? [05:18] xess: without burning the iso to a cd? [05:18] Kabaka: sure, hold on a second [05:19] NaoFaloIngles, if you have any trouble, check here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=329112 [05:19] vocx: iwl3945 for the wireless [05:19] bringatowel, ok tyvm again :) [05:19] hi! is there an applet for xfce4-panel which shows the recently opened files? [05:19] :) [05:19] Gnea: yeah. I do not have a DVD burner. [05:19] xess: There are a few ways. You could set up a virtual machine host of some kind and tell it to use the target drive. Then just mount the ISO with that. That's the first thing that occurs to me. [05:19] is there a web-page that can actually give specifics about troubleshooting problems. i tried using wiki thing but it just gives you general info and is not much help [05:20] hi, im having some trouble compiling my ipw2200 driver [05:20] mEck0, places -> recent documents ? [05:20] brolly81: what problems? === komputes|eee is now known as komputes [05:20] my volume does not work on my panel [05:20] like the log files? [05:20] brolly81: try searching on help.ubuntu.com [05:21] can any one direct me to a forum or how to that fix weak sound in thinclient, my ubuntu server using ltsp-5 is fine except with the client sound is to weak [05:21] Kabaka: Would that not leave me with this distro still on here? [05:21] brolly81, the ultimate troubleshooting is to read the source code and hack it. Have you tried from the command line "alsamixer" does it work? [05:21] xess: Oh, you want to wipe out the contents of the drive with the ISO on it, too? [05:21] question, when I open appearance, trying to adjust my theme, all of the themes don't have previews, they have a huge question mark inside instead. [05:22] vocx: so i guess the / partition is set as primary and swap space is logical but what about /home? is it logical too? [05:22] i dont have the slightess idea about programing much less hacking [05:22] brolly81, It's pretty straight forward. [05:23] not for newbie [05:23] Kabaka: my skype handle is umerfarooq87 [05:23] Is there anyway to reset the theme previews? [05:23] remu: Interesting name. Ready? [05:23] i just need a website to website that can guide me in fixing my problems [05:23] Kabaka: yes i am [05:24] bringatowel: will check it, thx [05:24] amirman, it doesn't matter. It is some strange convention invented decades ago that you can only have 4 priamary partitions, or 3 primary, and 1 extended, and insede the extended as much as logical partitions as you like (with some limitations) So my advice is choose primary partitions and the last one choose extended, and then create the logical drives. [05:24] brolly81, if you are troubleshooting and have no idea what to do, probably here or ubuntuforums.org is the best place to ask [05:24] i tried using it and does not really help. its to general [05:24] Kabaka: No the second drive is full of music. I would like to keep all that. I was hoping that I could some how place the iso in there and do a reboot that would bring me to the installer and I could install the new distro on the system primary drive which houses the current distro. [05:25] Anyone knows?????? [05:25] vocx: i don't even see extended as an option, would it be ok to just set it as logical? [05:25] brolly81, try asking your question... [05:25] how do i see what linux-image version i have installed on hardy? [05:25] hubar: generally, when you change a option in your theme, the preview changes [05:25] brolly81, that's the best help you'll get. Why do you think there will be someone guiding you step by step to achieve everything you want, and for free? It's too good to be true. [05:25] sixth_, "uname -r" [05:25] what plug in do I need for facebook videos? [05:25] brolly81, Well the idea is to be general. Because your specific problem would seem to be on your machine.. Take what you can from there and using google you can solve just about anything. [05:26] brolly81, Are you on a laptop by chance? [05:26] my volume in my control panel does not work, i get sound, it just doest not adjust volume up or down [05:26] no i am on a desktop [05:26] bringatowel: yeah, thats perfect, thx a lot! [05:26] Hellow: well, it is not working, I think it "chokes" on one of the themes I installed. [05:26] vocx, au contraire, there are people providing free hand-holding, but it helps a lot if he would actually ask his question [05:26] sixth_: go to synaptic and search linux-image - if youw ant to know what kernel you're using open up system monitor and look on the main tab [05:26] mEck0, glad to hear, check out #xubuntu for other xfce related questions as well :) [05:26] bringatowel, free hand-holding, ho art these people???! [05:26] brolly81: have you tried Master and PCM? [05:26] they said to change the device, but how to i get to screen that allows me to change device [05:26] xess: Ahh, that may be possible.. You'll have to ask someone else. My hands are tied at the moment. [05:27] ey guys, I'm haveing trouble getting a bootloader installed on my macbook. [05:27] vocx, *cough* ahem [05:27] bringatowel: thx :) [05:27] brolly81, not working as in it wont adjust sound or you can't access it or it crashes when you try to access it? [05:27] brolly81: double-click on the volume control [05:27] In ubuntu 8.04, has mod_security apache package been removed? [05:27] then [05:27] amirman, "logical" means that it is within the extended partition, so it may not come as an option, yeah. Once you see the pretty colors that GParted gives to the partitions it'll make sense. [05:27] ? [05:28] brolly81: did it bring up the real volume control window? [05:28] bringatowel: apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic [05:28] hey I'm trying to set my computer to be the DHCP server in my LAN but I can't... The router used to be the DHCP server and DNS server, but I don't like it. I have my DHCP server set up and running; but the other computers in the network (one ubuntu, and one windows vista) cant connect. I disabled my router's DHCP server [05:28] the CD tried to install lilo, which failed. and I haven't been able to get grub installed either, post install and chrooting into the install. [05:28] vocx: unfortunately the installer doesn't use gparted :( [05:28] brolly81, did it open? can you play with anything and see if your getting results? [05:28] sixth_, ?? [05:28] bringatowel: E: Couldn't find package linux-image-2.6.15-26-generic [05:28] yeah [05:28] brolly81, so you now are getting results? [05:28] brolly81: that's what i was talking about - i thought you had that window open already. [05:28] amirman, wha? Well, once you have set the partitions, open gparted to see them. [05:28] amarok is eating up all my CPU power all the time, and this didnt use to happen, so im assuming its an issue with this version, so how can i install the older version instead of the newer? [05:29] nope [05:29] Lymies: use synaptic [05:29] Lymies: have you tried looking for or filing a bug report? [05:29] bringatowel: i need to reinstall it and i dunno the version [05:29] brolly81, nope what? [05:29] how do I stop a service from starting with my system? [05:29] i changed the device but the volume does not adjust [05:29] Gnea, nope [05:29] does grub support full disk encryption? [05:29] on a base install + xorg + fluxbox, i installed envyng, installed 173 drivers, rebooted as per instructions.. got 'bad exit(10)' when inserting nvidia driver (or some such). so i thought i'd reboot again, now boot is hung on 'loading hardware drivers'... what's wrong?! [05:29] Lymies, maybe it is rebuilding the library index? [05:29] Lymies: then you'll need to do that. there might be a fix for it..

[05:30] brolly81, sound like you right clicked not double. [05:30] is there any command to search *linux-image* from apt-get? [05:30] danbh_intrepid: no. hardy 386 [05:30] sixth_, try searching the packages? [05:30] 8.04.1 on an amd64 [05:30] bringatowel: how do i do that? [05:30] double clicked and went to file and then to change device [05:30] bringatowel, no i have this problem even when its not rebuilding the index, my CPU is at 100%, its not rebuilding hte index, and when i try to quit it wont until i `'killall` it [05:30] brolly81: are you sure it's using the correct device to begin with? [05:30] i hard rebooted it, and it went past ... [05:31] JairunCaloth, grub is compatible with full disk encryption using luks [05:31] brolly81: before you do that, you should really adjust the Master and PCM volumes [05:31] no im not sure [05:31] brolly81, right click the open volume control [05:31] but still get nvidia (173.14.12): Installing module.\ ......(bad exit status: 10) Build Failed. Installation skipped [05:31] :O [05:31] Gun_Smoke: he already has it opened [05:31] im there [05:32] sixth_, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [05:32] orkid: I don't think your installation can be well supported. You should try the default installation, see if that works [05:32] Lymies, oh weird [05:32] danbh_intrepid: what default? gnome? [05:32] anyone here familiar with GTK+? [05:32] orkid: yeah, its gnome [05:32] !gtk | pen [05:32] pen: GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI [05:32] orkid: and not enyng [05:32] Gnea, do you know anything about it? [05:32] !envy > orkid [05:32] orkid, please see my private message [05:33] pen: what do you need to know about it? [05:33] Gnea, I want to know the name for all the widgets on the gnome-panel [05:33] danbh_intrepid: tx for your help, but i just want xorg+fluxbox with nothing else atm. and i want to get xvmc, which only seems to appear on 173 drivers from nvidia (for my geforce6), and only using envy (or manual install) [05:33] pen: try #gtk [05:33] haha bug #1 on the tracker is 'microsoft has the majority market share' [05:33] pen: or /server irc.gimp.org and /join #gtk [05:33] Launchpad bug 1 in ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 [05:33] for ubuntu do I download in tar.gz? [05:34] Razer, depends, what do you want to do? [05:34] hehe yeah, that's been around [05:34] brolly81, How about going to preferences in the window in the volume manager and selecting some additional things.. Such as front control etc.. You're going to need to play with it a bit. [05:34] danbh_intrepid: tx for the info. i was a bit surprised that hardy was still using the older drivers. i guess it came out before 173 came out though... my mistake [05:34] i have an hp dv4t, and i cant seem to change my screen brightness, either with the keyboard keys or with the aplet [05:34] vocx, update flash [05:34] Razer: no. you use apt or synaptic [05:34] danbh_intrepid: are 173 drivers in intrepid ? [05:34] Gnea, k [05:34] !synaptic | Razer [05:34] Razer: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [05:34] i did have to put in "pci=noacpi" as a boot option to get sound working [05:34] brolly81, enable some things and see what they do. [05:34] brolly81, let's make this easier for everybody. Post some pictures of your desktop, that'll help Gnea and Gun_Smoke help you [05:34] i dunno if that has anything to do with the problem [05:34] orkid: yeah, thats why I asked if you were using intrepid. and btw, Im running intrepid, I tried the 173 drivers, and they didnt work... [05:35] remu: weird. pci=routeirq didn't work? [05:35] what's the sudo apt for flash? [05:35] !flash | Razer [05:35] Razer: 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 [05:35] !ebox [05:35] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [05:35] Gnea, the synaptic version of flash is not too great [05:35] Razer, i'd recommend using adobe's linux flash installer [05:35] Gnea: pci=routeirq.....to get the sound working? i dunno, i didnt try that, should that also work? [05:35] Razer, you won't be able to update it, since is already released for this version of Ubuntu. You want flash 10 or what? [05:35] bringatowel: it's the latest version. [05:36] vocx, i'm on x64 it seems to me that's the problem [05:36] Gnea, in all my experiences it has not worked as well as the adobe version [05:36] remu: well, instead of disabling acpi, it just re-routes the interrupts - i usually get pretty good results across the board with it [05:36] sixth_: do you have a windows cd? if all else fails, you can boot that cd into some sort of recovery mode, and run fixmbr [05:36] anyone can help me ? i can't shutdown my laptop when i shutdown ,my screen messed and stoped ,it can't turn the poweroff [05:36] Razer, that's right. [05:36] bringatowel: it *is* the adobe version. [05:36] vocx, so nothing I can do? [05:36] is there any way to loose KDE after installing ubuntu-desktop and get rid of the KDE login screen and make it the Gnome login screen basically turning it into Ubuntu? [05:36] bringatowel: unless you're thinking about a different package name. [05:36] Gnea, I'd bet something like front or headphone isn't enabled.. [05:37] Gnea: hmm, ill have to try that, is it possible that disabling the acpi could disrupt my brightness control? [05:37] sixth_: or you can google for something called super grub boot disk, it does windows boot loaders too [05:37] bringatowel, Ubuntu flash is adobe's. It's a non-free product. Or am I missing something? [05:37] Gnea, seems like there is no one there ATM [05:37] Gnea, its repackaged, and given me only headaches [05:37] Razer, probably nothing. Keep reading the 64 bit subforum on ubuntuforus.org [05:38] vocx, ok [05:38] vocx, it is from adobe, but slightly different than the version available on their website [05:38] can /boot be encrypted as well? [05:39] /home/anthony/Desktop/Screenshot.png [05:39] anyone can help me ? i can't shutdown my laptop when i shutdown ,my screen messed and stoped ,it can't turn the poweroff [05:39] JairunCaloth, yes [05:39] remu: very good chance, a lot of basic things are controlled via acpi [05:39] pen: meh... tried #gimp? [05:39] brolly81, your going to need to hang that somewhere.. [05:39] Gnea: thanks, ill try that [05:39] Gnea, gimp?? they would know? [05:39] bringatowel: which package did you install, exactly? [05:39] bringatowel, how can you know it is different since it's not free software. Do they have a statement on this somewhere in their site' [05:39] pen: heh, gimp is built with gtk :) [05:39] brolly81, http://tinypic.com/ [05:40] pen: that's why it's called the Gimp ToolKit ;) [05:40] how do I get firefox to restart with a command? [05:40] Gnea, but this one is kinda specific to gnome-panel [05:40] Gnea, really? [05:40] pen: ... then try #gnome [05:40] Razer, flash works fine for me in amd x64 [05:40] I can't play any mp3 or ogg files, when I try it says Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument [05:40] Gnea, flash-nonfree [05:41] bringatowel, I can't see anything in flash though [05:41] it used to work [05:41] bringatowel: same here, works just fine. [05:41] vocx, from what has been stated by others, and the fact that one works on my one system and one doesnt ;) [05:41] http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=vgpizs&s=4 [05:41] Razer: does it show up if you type this into your firefox? about:plugins [05:42] ... [05:42] sorry hold on i just saw it [05:42] Gnea, the problem that flash-nonfree caused for me was a sound problem, it might not occur on all systems, but the version on adobe's website seems to work for everyone [05:42] Gnea, yes it does [05:42] I can't play any mp3 or ogg files, when I try it says Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument [05:42] it used to work [05:43] Gnea, but going to youtube just shows an empty space where the player should be embedded [05:43] wtf [05:43] i cannot use synaptic [05:43] Razer, what flash package did you install? [05:43] bringatowel: i've heard of dodgy issues with it from other people, so it seems to be a random issue. hopefully we'll get version 10 sometime this year :) [05:44] the applicatoin is being entirely unresponsive besides the file, edit, package, setting, etc dropdowns [05:44] I can't play any mp3 or ogg files, when I try it says Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument [05:44] it used to work [05:44] Razer: have you restarted ff? [05:44] bringatowel, 9.0 r124 [05:44] brolly81, It looks like you went to System>Preferences>Sound Is that correct? [05:44] Gnea, yes I have [05:44] Hey guys [05:44] Gnea, yes hopefully, i have heard that 8.10 will feature improved flash support :) [05:44] I am compiling stuff. [05:44] mynameistux_: in a terminal, does this command work: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp [05:45] mynameistux_, reinstall rhythmbox or some other audio application that pulls dependencies [05:45] bash: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy [05:45] ok [05:45] Razer, what is the package name? if you installed anything besides "flash-nonfree" then uninstall that and install the flash-nonfree package [05:45] bringatowel: that's the thing i like about ubuntu, too - the releases have become much more often [05:45] what is the mount point for a sata drive , hda1? [05:45] http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2s7vr6q&s=4 [05:45] bringatowel, where do I check that, I'm pretty sure I did [05:45] Razer, if you already installed flash-nonfree, i would try uninstalling that, and downloading the linux version off adobe's website [05:45] mynameistux_: you'll need to find the offending process that's hogging the soundcard and kill it [05:45] brolly81, It looks like you went to System>Preferences>Sound Is that correct? [05:46] Razer, in Add/Remove or Synaptic [05:46] mmm... so it turns out i set dhcp-range to 192.168.2.10,192.168.0.100 instead of 192.168.2.10,192.168.2.100 u see the 0-2? very nice. [05:46] yes [05:46] hahaha [05:46] any ideas as to how I can do that, its a HD sound card so you know [05:46] Gnea, oh yeah its great, plus there seem to be significant improments with each release :) [05:46] Gnea: pci=routeirq didnt solve the brightness issue, or the sound issue that pci=noacpi solved (which is discussed here) [05:47] Gnea: pci=routeirq didnt solve the brightness issue, or the sound issue that pci=noacpi solved (which is discussed here) [05:47] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=912896 [05:47] bringatowel, under add/remove I have macromedia flash plugin [05:47] bringatowel: i would change all cases of 'Autodetect' to ALSA [05:47] oops [05:47] brolly81: i would change all cases of 'Autodetect' to ALSA [05:48] brb [05:49] Gnea, that's an interesting question, how do you determine if a process is using a hardware device? Where do you search, in /proc or maybe with ps? [05:49] Razer, okay, well if that is not working, i'd say try uninstalling that and download the linux version off adobe's website [05:49] hell yeah, its fixed. your the man or woman [05:49] vocx: lsof | grep libasound [05:49] Does anyone know where the vboxdrv script is [05:49] * Gnea struts hiself [05:49] When someone compiles VirtualBox [05:49] * vocx is the man [05:49] I can't find it...

[05:58] sudo apt-get remove sound-things [05:58] limgong, VMWare is huge, you do not need to use it if you only need basic virtualization, virtualbox is fine [05:58] Razer, ah ok, good [05:58] remu: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dmesg | pastebinit [05:58] thank you all of you [05:58] bringatowel, but now it's not doing anything :D [05:58] plus vmware is not open source :/ [05:58] hm [05:58] sanassar, I've always had that problem as well.. Never looked into it myself. [05:58] you bet your behind it isnt [05:58] just an ugly pain thats what it is [05:58] bringatowel, thanx :) [05:58] Razer, that was just the first step, there is 1 more :P [05:59] bringatowel, grumble [05:59] no prob :) [05:59] bringatowel, do i run or run in terminal? [05:59] Gnea: http://pastebin.com/f34ff02fb [05:59] sanassar, check the pcm volume [05:59] I know I know [05:59] sanassar, try changing the device to ALSA or the other ones in the preferences and audio options [05:59] That is what I do when I freshly install Ubuntu. [05:59] Cause it is lower. [05:59] K. [06:00] Razer, there is just 1 more, you have to run the installer, go to the command line and go to the directory "cd install_flash_player_9_linux/" then "./flashplayer-installer" [06:00] would the virutalbox i am looking for be called virtualbox ose? [06:00] limgong, yep [06:00] limgong the ose one is the open source version, [06:01] absolutely lovely [06:01] thank you in extensively [06:01] its a breeze :) [06:01] bringatowel, bash: cd: install_flash_player_9_linux/: No such file or directory ? [06:01] vocx:didn't do much [06:01] limgong, that version, the OSE version, has no support for USB, so beware. You can install the other version just as easily. Get the debian package from their site. [06:01] limgong: virtualbox-ose doesn't have all the features as the one you can donwload from Sun [06:02] Razer, you have to include the path where you saved & extracted it, like "cd /home/Razer/downloads/install_flash_player_9_linux" or whatever [06:02] oh goodness pjotr you have saved me quite a bit of trouble [06:02] limgong the precompiled version is also a litlte old, [06:02] vocx:Any other suggestions? [06:02] vocx:Changing everything to ALSA helped a bit. [06:02] limgong however i use the OSE version and its fine if you dont need usb [06:02] need help: memory seems to have gone down the drain. buffers are eating 400/768MB [06:02] but this is the problem [06:02] sanassar, not really. I guess, sound has always worked okay for me. It gives few problems compared to video cards [06:03] vocx:My sound works fine.I just need it higher. [06:03] dont judge me to harshly but before i switched to kubuntu i had a zune and would still like to run it off linux without duel booting [06:03] vocx:Sometimes I wish I could go to 200%.XD [06:03] bringatowel, ~/Desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux$ ? [06:03] sanassar, it's a laptop you say? [06:03] burn him! [06:03] so right now as no one has fully cracked the thing this seems to be the best way to go through with running it [06:03] !wine | limgong [06:03] limgong: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [06:03] vocx:Yes [06:04] Razer, sounds right, if the cd command works, then you know it is correct [06:04] how to adjust sound volume in the ubuntu? [06:04] yes but wine and the zune program dont meld well [06:04] k [06:04] vocx:Do you have some Instant Messaging service? Because I need to go for a few min. [06:04] it just doesnt work on wine aprently [06:04] My notebook doesn't have much RAM, and it's also shared with my video card, is there a way I can increase the available memory by using a ramdisk or something? [06:04] waan thats what a swap file is [06:04] bringatowel, running the second command gets me : Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported [06:05] anyone have any clue about my RAM issue? [06:05] sanassar, I think I'm going too, so, well good luck [06:05] vocx:Cya.Wish you would give me a IM. [06:05] And I will stay on here. [06:05] functionofxy, is it actually an issue? [06:05] Razer, yikes [06:05] yes is there a virutal box that does have usb functionality [06:05] koshari, ok to be specific I'm using vbox to install a guest operating system, but when the physical memory gets really low vbox will abort, I've solved this temporarily by reducing the guest os ram amount. [06:05] How do I find what ethernet driver Ubuntu is using? [06:06] sanassar, I really don't use that stuff, only IRC and that's it. [06:06] chubs_, memory seems to have gone down the drain. buffers are eating 400/768MB [06:06] bringatowel, I know huh? [06:06] koshari, but vbox doesn't seem to be utilizing swap [06:06] limgong: https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=innotek-1.6-G-F@CDS-CDS_SMI [06:06] chubs_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/46778/ [06:06] waan what guest OS are you using? [06:06] Back in 5 min [06:07] koshari, windows xp, i've set 64mb [06:07] pjotr what is this may i ask? [06:07] I have an s-video output port on my nvidia 7900 gs ko. Right now, I'm using both dvi out ports on it, but I want to (temporarily) use the s-video out to my tv. However, when I disable one dvi port then enable the s-video port, it crashes X. How can I see what went wrong, or is this a common problem with an easy fix? [06:07] ah i see [06:07] !svideo [06:07] waan winXP will use a pagefile that will be on the virtual disk [06:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about svideo [06:07] functionofxy, buffers are "eating" 30 mb [06:07] chubs_, buffers/cache [06:07] waan however when it comes to ram you cant gt something for nothing [06:07] right. so nothings eating memory [06:08] waan I really think you should have at least 1 GB RAM to start messing with virtualization. At least so that it isn't too slow. [06:08] koshari, it's only a problem during the installer (which is is past now) and the memory has spiked back up to a large free amount [06:08] functionofxy, http://virtualthreads.blogspot.com/2006/02/understanding-memory-usage-on-linux.html [06:08] limgong: read the FAQs [06:09] dmsuperman, maybe you can reaview the X logs or the kernel logs for clues [06:09] vocx, yeah I will get more ram for this notebook (256mb currently, shared) but I was just seeing if there was an alterlative [06:09] what's the highest directory I can search in? [06:09] pjotr, haha i have been here before and they seem to suggest the vmware but i may not have read too deeply although it seems full compatiblity with zune and linux with wine hasnt happened yet [06:09] is it /home? [06:09] koshari, thanks for the help, i'll just use low ram amounts for vbox and it should be ok [06:10] chubs_, so why do i have 7MB free? [06:10] limgong, just a warning, if the linux kernel doesn't accept your device, no amount of virtualization programs will work with it. It all comes down to the linux kernel. [06:10] Razer, sorry i guess the one from Add/Remove is the only choice, not sure why it was not working... [06:10] chubs_, switching/loading apps wakes forever [06:10] takes* [06:10] limgong: http://www.virtualbox.org/ [06:10] bringatowel, no problem [06:11] hi [06:11] functionofxy, perhaps you're on a slow machine? it's hard to help with no solid examples. If you read that you'd understand that most of that is cached memory [06:11] is there a live boot cd with a virus removal tool? [06:11] koshari, anyway it's more a vbox bug, since it was trying to use more physical memory than the system had [06:11] Razer, the highest directory is "/" but all your personal files should be inside /home/Razer which is the same as ~/ [06:11] vocx: Where does it keep error logs at? [06:11] waan well that will do it [06:11] in fact the gnome system monitor might show you something completely different because of how it is computed [06:11] vocx: It even crashed X just to disable my right monitor that time [06:12] chubs_, but i'm not running anything that would require that much cache. i've shut everything down so im just running xchat and gnome [06:12] bringatowel, I'm just trying to do a ctr+f, i don't think I can choose / through the GUI [06:12] dmsuperman, there is /var/log but you can access important log from System > Administration > System logs [06:12] koshari, do you happen to know the minimum ram required for intrepid? [06:12] waan otherwise you could disable a few services in the guest [06:12] pjotr apperently the zune uses mtp storage format and uses the opensource libmtp library in some major part so it should work on linux however the have the thing so damn encrypted that its just pain and tear to get it to work [06:13] Razer, sure you can, but it might not be useful, depends what you are searching for [06:13] functionofxy, you're not understanding what a cache is, it's more efficient to keep the larger programs in memory until that space is needed [06:13] waan i suspect 8.10 would be about the same as 8.04 [06:13] bringatowel, *.iso [06:13] koshari, yeah i'll do that, but installing the os is where the ram usage goes through the roof [06:13] Razer, if its something you downloaded, it is most likely somwhere within ~/ [06:13] bringatowel, k [06:13] although in my noobieness what i may have said may sound silly [06:14] koshari, anyway I'll work it out. Thanks again [06:14] bringatowel, what's ~/ ? [06:14] chubs_, but they're not open. their processes have been ended. why am i holding ram space for them? its slowing me down immensely. [06:14] that is your :c drive ish thing [06:14] waan you could use an alternative install disk for ubuntu as a guest [06:14] Razer, ~/ is just a shortcut for /home/Razer (or whatever username you logged in as) [06:14] chubs_, can i mandate that the cache be smaller? [06:14] Hello...does anybody know how to add gnome launchers to a liveCD's desktop? [06:14] bringatowel, I'm having some freezing problems [06:15] Back [06:15] bringatowel, almost as bad as Vista :P [06:15] Razer, from what? if you are running a search it may be quite resource intensive [06:15] jamfish it would be the same as an installed OS however you would lose the setting on shutdow [06:15] vocx... [06:15] bringatowel, I'm only on a 10 GIB partition === passwd is now known as blanko [06:16] Razer, that will mean the search will complete faster, but it is still using a lot of disk I/O until its finished [06:16] bringatowel, I opened too many file browsers === blanko is now known as blankimaN [06:17] Razer, hehe well that doesn't help, but probably that is not the main problem (unless you have like 200 open) [06:17] koshari: I'm trying to make a customized Ubuntu CD, so that's why I'm asking. So far I haven't found a solution, and I'm pressed for time. I need it to be loaded each time the liveCD is loaded [06:17] Razer, if the search is still running that will eat up disk bandwidth, slowing down the whole system which needs the disk for swap usage [06:17] bringatowel, about 10 :D [06:18] bringatowel, I see what i did there, I opened a sub option so all the other ones froze up [06:18] Razer, the only time that would cause a system slow down is if there are a huge number of files or subdirectories, or it is like a bunch of pictures and thumbnails are being generated [06:19] jamfish you need to use a specific tool like Reconstructor [06:19] Razer, hmm well that might have tied up some system resources, you can use the system monitor to keep an eye on things [06:20] koshari: I am, but, it doesn't have such an option within the program...the only way I could do it is to make my own module...which so far hasn't been working [06:20] bringatowel, I'm having an even more annoying problem, when I connect an MTP device I can't see the folder it defaults to but my music player detects all the songs [06:21] i have an .iso image that is a video file, how can i view it in linux without burning it? I want to have a virtual drive mount it... [06:21] Razer, try searching google or the forums, i have no clue what MTP is :D [06:21] jamfish UCK may be another option http://lichota.net/~krzysiek/projects/ubuntu-livecd-customization/ [06:22] bringatowel, Media Transfer Protocol, It's Microsoft that's what I think is the problem :( [06:22] TrustNoOne, mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/test [06:22] bringatowel, thx ill try that [06:22] Razer, well ill agree with that! :D [06:22] Razer: I haven't messed with MTP in a while, and I don't know if the ubuntu repos are still hopelessly out of date on them. But I had to compile them from source to get my zen to work [06:22] bringatowel, still no idea huh? [06:22] hey anybody know if there's a way, from the dhcp server, to make all clients re-request an IP? (as if the lease had been expired) [06:22] TrustNoOne, there are some GUI programs to do that as well ifyou prefer [06:23] Razer, never heard of MTP before :/ [06:23] and rmmbr; trust no one [06:23] JairunCaloth, I barely know what complie means so I'm SOL huh [06:23] what would be the name of one program [06:23] Does anyone know how to use zenity --progress to actually get progress of something [06:23] Razer: Are you wanting to open up a folder and drag and drop songs in? [06:23] bringatowel, it's microsoft designed firmware for non apple mp3 players [06:23] because I don't think that's possible [06:23] Razer: compile =source code to excutable [06:24] andresj, yes it depends on the dhcp server, don't recall the command for any offhand though [06:24] JairunCaloth, I just want to see themusic folder under /media [06:24] is there a way i can download a package of the latest updates for ubuntu so i dont have to redownload them each time i install ubuntu [06:24] kizza [06:24] bringatowel: oh there is!? oh wow i didnt think it was possible :) I'm using dnsmasq, if that helps... :D [06:25] Razer: I've found the best thing for dealing with MTP is amarok [06:25] how would u call it? to google it [06:25] andresj, yup there are many, although there are a couple main ones, i think you want to check the documentation for whichever you use [06:25] JairunCaloth, it's not the music player detection it's linux not recognizing the device because it's not like a regular flash drive [06:26] hi [06:26] hello. I am very new to linux. installed linux and wireless driver was having a lot of problems. So I went and bought USB network adapter (model wusb54gsc). does anyone know if that will work for me [06:26] Razer: exactly, which I think means you can't manage like a regualr flash drive [06:26] im a noob at lynex can someone help [06:26] ASrock the packages are stored on your /var/cach/apt dir, you can make a personal repo, or a aptonCD or even use apt-cacher [06:26] TrustNoOne, gmount-iso [06:26] bringatowel, thank you [06:26] *manage it like* [06:27] andresj, you can check which server you have using Synaptic and search for dhcp, then see what packages are already installed [06:27] bringatowel: mm... yeah, I can't find a lot of documentation for dnsmasq... seems like there is no way [06:27] JairunCaloth, so all I can do is :( [06:27] bringatowel: I use dnsmasq [06:27] Sara22: You're best bet is to check a hardware compatibility list [06:27] *your [06:27] for a powerful DNS/DHCP/TFTP server :D === Fenrir is now known as Jesus [06:27] JairunCaloth: how do i do that [06:28] hi sara [06:28] Razer: well I like amarok because it's pretty effective for manageing the media on it, and it will let you see whats on there, take stuff off, and put other stuff on [06:28] andresj, have you tried "man dnsmasq"? [06:29] bringatowel: yes, I'm reading the online version; but I can only find how to run the program; not how to send a signal [06:30] bringatowel: do you know how the process of expiring all leases is called; or how it works? [06:30] JairunCaloth, cool, I'll look it up then [06:30] Sara22: you could try looking through this site [06:30] http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/ [06:31] brb in a few, need to reboot [06:31] hmm i don't know anything about linux. can anyone tell me where to find if my new linksys usb card is compatible? [06:32] hi [06:32] lol [06:32] =p [06:32] !wireless | Sara22 [06:32] Sara22: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:33] i want to hack [06:33] bringatowel, the iso i mounted is all vob files (for a dvd) how can I play them without having to individually click each one? (like in windows, WMP would do that) [06:34] andresj, not exactly, you will probably have to google around, could you just restart the program? [06:34] Sara22: Somewhere in the wiki, there is a hardware compatibility list. I will say, in general, that USB adapters tend to be finickey, but hopefully Linksys is among one of the more supported brands. Frequently, the best thing to do is use XP drivers with ndisgtk (a graphical frontend for ndiswrapper). [06:35] !illegal > kizza [06:35] kizza, please see my private message [06:35] just installed fluxbox and my right click doesnt work on my laptop, gnome is on the same machine and it works fine, where is the problem [06:35] bringatowel: no, restarting the DHCP server won't do anything; because the DHCP clients won't even notice [06:35] !restricted [06:35] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [06:36] bobertdos, hacking is not illegal [06:37] chubs_: Of course, it depends on the type of hacking to which he is referring. [06:37] TrustNoOne, you need something that will play DVDs, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html#dvdplayback or give VLC a try [06:37] bringatowel, tried VLC... will only play 1 vob at a time [06:37] bobertdos, this is a linux channel. we should be promoting proper usage of the term hacking. cracking is illegal [06:37] bringatowel, ill check the linkg thx [06:38] clamTK on ubuntu 8.04, i want to update signatures, but i need to become root. How do I become root, preferably a method that can be used from within gnome, without going to the CL [06:38] TrustNoOne, i think there is some way using VLC to get it to to play the whole thing, but i don't remember exactly [06:38] andresj, sorry i dont know more about dhcp :/ [06:38] TrustNoOne: I think there is an open disk option in VLC [06:38] !become root [06:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about become root [06:38] thanks guys [06:38] bringatowel: aw... haha that's ok thansk for your help :) I actually didnt know anything about dhcp 2 hours ago... lots of reading :D [06:38] !sudo | smm289 [06:38] smm289: 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) [06:39] smm289 alt+f2 [06:39] then type gksu 'command' [06:39] chubs_: Alright, enlighten me, which connotation of "hacking" is generally applied to the context of Linux? [06:39] andresj, hehe its a cool subject, can be a lot to learn though :D [06:39] i don't know what the command is to update ClamTk signatures [06:39] I'll just link you to esr [06:40] one moment [06:40] bringatowel, Acetar thanks you guys, it worked by opening the disc in VLC player... [06:40] bringatowel: oh it is my brain is about to explode! :P [06:40] and i only knoe the basics, anyway [06:40] bobertdos, http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html#what_is [06:40] TrustNoOne, great to hear, VLC is a nice bit of software :) [06:40] hey anyone know where the login help screen is for ubuntu forums? i get invalid logins with a vbulliten message but no links to reset my pswd [06:40] DOSE ANY ONE NOW HOW TO HACK WITH UBUNTU [06:41] bringatowel, well i must use totem over the network on my windows shares, as VLC will not play anything over my network (gives error messages) [06:41] bringatowel, but I use totem for that so it's not a huge deal :p [06:41] andresj, haha yeah i know the feeling, keep at it for another hour, then go watch a movie or something, and the answer will appear ;) [06:41] i want to post a question there, but also i guess i can ask here: how do i go about getting the OTHER bluetooth services like connecting to cell phones to work with the logitech mx1000's dongle for the wireless bluetooth desktop (kbd & mouse)?? [06:42] i am also interested in audio gateway connectivity === Holydiver is now known as HolydiverDODO [06:42] mojo: I get that - I login after finding a post in google with ubuntuforums showthread [06:42] bringatowel: oh that is so right! (i say in a teenage girl voice); lol no seriously it has happened to me, yeah. :) [06:42] kizza: no but i can caugh on some sensemillia [06:42] TrustNoOne, ah yeah, that is a nice feature of totem, if you want to do that with VLC you can use smbfs, try installing PyNeighborhood for a nice interface [06:42] bringatowel: and of course, i am not a teenage girl... -.- :P [06:42] andresj, well at least it is a good excuse to watch a movie ;) [06:42] favafro: well it says i got two invalid and a countdown to 5 attempts every 15 min [06:42] bringatowel, i have the shares mounted using smbfs... [06:43] bringatowel: nice, nice thinking [06:43] andresj, girls learning about dhcp, don't ruin my fantasy :D [06:43] testing...1,2 [06:43] bringatowel brought that towell with intentions of using it [06:43] eboyjr, doesn't work [06:43] mojo: sounds like your login name or password isn't right [06:43] hello [06:43] TrustNoOne, oh well that is strange then, as long as the shares are mounted properly VLC should have no problems... [06:43] bringatowel: hahahahaha lol wow don't worry I'll give you concrete proof of a hot girl learning about dhcp one day... one day... lol [06:43] chubs_: lol, oh man :P [06:44] favafro: right, it has been a while; just want my pwd emailed to me or a link to reset it [06:44] i installed ubuntu, and i got ache on my neck. Any idea ? [06:44] favafro: instead i get this shove off screen with a dire warning about attempts but no saving link to get your account creds emailed or reset [06:44] mojo, its got tons of vitamins in case i miss lunch ;) [06:44] HolydiverDODO, get a desktop and a nice chair [06:44] HolydiverDODO: do the Samba, too. [06:44] heh @ bringatowel [06:44] andresj, thats right, keep the dream alive =) [06:44] was jokin :) thanks for the answers :) [06:45] bringatowel: lol yah what's life without dreams haha [06:45] mojo, :D [06:45] hey i got my samba's wins services working today finally! hurray for smb.conf man pages [06:45] andresj, very dull ;) [06:45] HolydiverDODO: oh U WERE JOKING!!!! :O i couldn't have beleived it!! -.- :P [06:45] lol [06:46] andresj, i remember a guy in the french support channel [06:46] I want to update ClamTK signature but I need to become root [06:46] he was the most serious in the world [06:46] how do I do that [06:46] I know alt-F2 and then GKSU [06:46] but gksu what [06:46] bringatowel: it would it would; i couldn't be able to live here without dreams... lol. btw, how long have u been using ubuntu? [06:46] Hello people : after installing ubuntu, i started having ear ache, is it a bad package ? [06:47] chubs_: I won't go offtopic here for too long, but I must thank you for showing me that, chubs_. I do very much agree with that philosophy :) [06:47] va faire dodo [06:47] HolydiverDODO: hahahaha [06:47] :) [06:47] mojo: is there an option for a password reminder? - there should be [06:47] smm289, gksu clamTK? I honestly don't know what clamtk is, i might google around though [06:47] nope doesnt workl [06:47] andresj, oh not too long, maybe 6 months? but i used debian for about as long before that, and they are mostly they same :) === favafro is now known as favro [06:47] thanks though [06:47] favafro: that is waht i am saying there is not; where is it? [06:47] bobertdos, no problem :) it's necessary material for anyone trying to get into the open source community [06:48] favro: oh man, i am so frickken blind! i found it [06:48] heh [06:48] :) [06:48] smm289, look at the menu item and see what the command is, then use "gksudo _command_" [06:48] HolydiverDODO: he probably installed P. Ear --- um ok thats not as funny as I wanted it to be hehe [06:49] andresj, well :D i(m gone to sleep now ! see ya :) [06:49] bringatowel: oh really? cool, cool. I also started with Debian, on new year of 2006; used Gentoo for a year, and then I moved to Ubuntu on northern hemisphere summer of 2007 :) [06:50] HolydiverDODO: lol allright then see ya haha [06:50] chubs_: I seem to have upheld a lot of the hacker ideals without realizing it :p [06:51] smm289, oh it's an antivirus, no wonder i haven't heard of it ;). it appears that the command is freshclam, and the clamtk site has a nice howto for updating signatures [06:51] <|unjustice|> I can no longer rip/play DVDs, I am running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn w/ a nvidia Geforce 6300 [06:51] I am having some small issues with my screen resolution, mind if someone helps me out? [06:51] <|unjustice|> used to work though... [06:51] <|unjustice|> weird [06:51] andresj, oh cool, yeah i really like debian, it works on all kinds of computers. ubuntu is like debian, except it could run FF3 much sooner :D [06:51] |unjustice|, After an update/upgrade? [06:51] tony_: Small issues? Define small issues. [06:52] tony_, what's the problem? [06:52] Via the "Monitor res settings" (ubuntu 8.10) [06:52] <|unjustice|> Gun_Smoke: it didn't stop working after an update/upgrade [06:52] its reading 2560x1024 (i decided to see what a 42" screen was like [06:52] Hello ubuntuers [06:52] bobertdos, i think most people do :P [06:52] bringatowel: yes they're very similar; but I like Ubuntu's easiness of use. I do hacky stuff, of course; but it's nice to have a simple way of doing things when I just need it to work (tm) :) [06:52] <|unjustice|> Gun_Smoke: but it did not change for the better after an update/upgrade either [06:52] however, xorg is normal, without this res setting, i've gone back to my dual 17's and its still reading the old res in that app [06:52] which is effecting some games I play [06:53] |unjustice|, have you install ubuntu-restriced-extras ? [06:54] tony_, try not to use the enter key as punctuation, it makes things harder to read... So the problem is, your screen is in the wrong resolution? [06:54] What is the thing you guys like most about ubuntu? [06:54] <|unjustice|> Gun_Smoke: not sure what that is...I'll check synaptic [06:54] andresj, yes agreed, plus there is a great ubuntu community, with lots of info on forums and more :) [06:54] |unjustice|, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restriced-extras [06:54] err.. [06:54] <|unjustice|> Gun_Smoke: you sure? [06:55] dominic_, Everything! [06:55] waan: sorry, yes and no, its correcting being displayed, however this application is reading the old res (2560x1024) which is effecting some games, i've checked xorg.conf and it seems fine and no mention of this old resolution [06:55] dominic_: Most of us would love to answer that, however it is off topic (and besides a lot of us could go on for hours about it). [06:55] |unjustice|, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:55] Thought I had a typo in there. [06:55] dominic_, it's brown and orange [06:56] tony_, so the "screen resolution" setting is fine and xorg is correct. Are all games selecting this res or just a few? [06:56] waan: just the old setting, 2560x1024 [06:56] bringatowel: yeah, i love it how it is very easy to find things in the Ubuntu wiki [06:56] waan: also i've tried to force (rewriting config files for the game) to read another res, it defaults back to 2560x1024 [06:57] bringatowel: well I gotta go; see you someday on IRC haha [06:57] waan: in ubuntu, pref > screen resolution, it only reads 2560x1024, and not the other res's in xorg.conf [06:57] andresj, okay, take care :) [06:58] <|unjustice|> Gun_Smoke: couldnot find package information... [06:58] humm [06:58] <|unjustice|> Gun_Smoke: ooops [06:58] <|unjustice|> Gun_Smoke: haha, typo [06:58] tony_, xorg.conf shouldn't need any screen resolutions in it [06:58] <|unjustice|> Gun_Smoke: :) [06:58] waan: well either way, where is this 2560x1024 resolution coming from? [06:59] tony_, and you are using dual 17" monitor setup? [06:59] waan: correct, twinview [06:59] waan: with correct drivers installed [06:59] swap nv-nvidia [06:59] tony_, well that's why. the resolution is correct because you have a two monitor setup [07:00] tony_, 1280*2 = 2560 [07:00] waan: ah, my mistake, should I be running Seperate X per screen? [07:00] are the forums down? [07:01] tony_, well the game will either stretch the two screens, or just use 1 screen. But to be honest I don't play games so I'm not sure [07:01] !ubuntu-restricted-extras > |unjustice| [07:01] |unjustice|, please see my private message [07:01] waan: thanks for your help =) i'll continue to play around [07:01] tony_, does the game span both screens? [07:02] waan: no just one [07:02] tony_, but it's all streched? [07:02] waan: yes [07:02] tony_, yeah the game probably doesn't support dual monitor, so it's just using xorg settings for rez [07:02] I'll have a play waan, obviously i'll backup xorg =) [07:03] waan: thanks for the help i'll be back later if i cannot resolve it :p [07:03] tony_, ok goodluck [07:03] can someone help me set up compiz fusion please :) [07:03] hello [07:04] ah well.. looks like ubuntu forums are down atm [07:04] nm.. yay! they're back up [07:04] I just got done running updates on ubuntu hardy and now I do not have any SPDIF output from my sound card....it was working before updates [07:04] |unjustice|, Work out for you?

But I thing you should be good.. [07:07] Sara22 isn't compiz built in right unto ubuntu 8.04? [07:07] |unjustice|, ^ [07:07] i just installed kubuntu on my laptop and when i open files i cant see the mimimize or the x button on the file can someone tell me how to fix this plz [07:07] tony_, how did you fix it? [07:07] ljsoftnet: i am new i didnt know that :) [07:07] i thought you had to initiate first [07:08] hacked the config file the of game more waa, heh [07:08] Sara22, pretty much everybody uses compiz [07:08] waan: can you help me set it up. i dont see it [07:08] what media plyaer is supported by foxytunes? [07:08] <|unjustice|> Gun_Smoke: says on the link you sent that I need libdvdcss [07:08] *player [07:08] |unjustice|, yeah... [07:08] Sara22, sure, go to synaptics package manager, and install "compiz-settings-manager" [07:09] |unjustice|, If you installed what I suggested it should take care of it for you. [07:09] waan: where do I find synaptics package [07:09] i think i might have a conflict with one of the compiz settings may be not sure [07:10] <|unjustice|> Gun_Smoke: whoa [07:10] <|unjustice|> Gun_Smoke: synaptic will not load anymore [07:10] !hardware | jessid [07:10] jessid, please see my private message [07:10] Sara22, System -> administration -> synaptic [07:10] thx waan [07:10] |unjustice|, You probably have a package manager still running.. [07:10] sara22, waan, it's compizconfig-settings-manager [07:10] what media player is supported by foxytunes? [07:11] <|unjustice|> Gun_Smoke: no, I can't open it === media is now known as toyo [07:11] Sara22, then the package is called "compizconfig-settings-manager". After you install that it should automatically enable compiz, and "Advanced Desktop Effects" will appear in System -> Preferences menu [07:11] hello there [07:11] |unjustice|, you can only have one at a time running.. meaning if apt-get is still throwing fireworks across terminal synaptic won't play [07:11] dose anyone here use the spdif output on their nvidia HDA soundcard? [07:11] many people [07:11] :S [07:12] waan: compizconfig-settings-manager isn't in the list under synaptic [07:12] Sara22, you might need to log-out and back in to take effect [07:12] gurr [07:12] <|unjustice|> Gun_Smoke: right...but it is no longer running in terminal that I know of... [07:12] Sara22, just search "compiz" and then look for it in the list [07:12] <|unjustice|> Gun_Smoke: unless it takes a really long time to get that pacakge? [07:12] I cant understand why it would work on install but then not work after updating ubuntu [07:12] :( [07:12] Sara22: try ccsm [07:12] |unjustice|, and synaptic dumps how? Possibly, depending on your connection.. [07:13] Sara22, if it's not there you might need to enable some extra software repositorys [07:13] i just installed kubuntu on my laptop and when i open files i cant see the mimimize or the x button on the file can someone tell me how to fix this plz [07:13] Rat409: not there either :( [07:13] i just installed kubuntu on my laptop and when i open files i cant see the mimimize or the x button on the file can someone tell me how to fix this plz [07:13] waan: thats greek to me. how do I do that [07:13] i think i might have a conflict with one of the compiz settings may be not sure [07:13] <|unjustice|> Gun_Smoke: it's DSL with a ton of bandwidth [07:14] what is the gnome equivalent to krfb?

[09:56] koshari, im a programmer..i should be able to pull something simple like this off [09:56] zoed: i was able to play urban terror before it crashed :S [09:56] the problem is alsa force-reload needs to be run as root [09:56] Can anyone hold my hand while i try run ddrescue..? Im not entirely sure how to use it... lol [09:56] barbarella : why does the /etc/rc.local does not execute the line which i put in ? i chamod it to +x , but nothing .. [09:57] technologeek: try booting from the live cd and then copying the live cd's xorg.conf to your harddisk's xorg.conf. Maybe that works.

[09:58] LurkersA: No namual entry for ddrescue [09:58] *manual [09:58] technologeek: i guess you have a ubuntu 8.04 live cd. Just boot from it, mount your harddisk (which should automatically be detected) and copy the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /my_hard/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:58] DrCuddles: I don't know anything about ddrescue other than the website. ;-) [09:58] DrCuddles: 'ddrescue --help' [09:58] blarog: ok :P [09:59] koshari, i ran a diff -- only mouse seeetings changed....

[09:59] I use Kubuntu with packages for Kubuntu and Xubuntu [09:59] I think the only file you'd have to change permissions of would be /var/run/alsa/modules-removed ... by the look of it [09:59] zoed: yeah , enought problems :P [09:59] LukersA: Thank You!!! Now whats that command for listing all drives again... [09:59] * Keith|OffBNC is away (I went off BNC Im either restarting or closed mIRC, bbs.)

[09:59] kevin_needs_help that would depend on the hardware, my synaptic touch pad "just works" other hardware needs some tweaking [09:59] technologeek: only copy the xorg.conf from the live cd if everything works ok on the live system.

[10:02] kevin_needs_help if you have problems the logical way to isolate the problem is to roll back to a working install, then figure out the things that arent working, thats why its always good to backup files such as xorg.conf , fstab and menu.1st [10:03] Can anyone tell me the command for listing all my current drives [10:03] Jampiter: you'll want to look at the tab Appearance -> Usplash theme [10:03] startupmanager btw [10:03] hello, how can I put my pidgin hide and not to close when I press the cross button?

[10:03] Thanks :D [10:03] kevin_needs_help if as you indicated earlier the xorg file is the issue replaceing it back with a known good one should do it, if it isnt the issue the xorg issue may be coincidental to your nvidia problems [10:03] koshari, like I said... <3 window's registry -- us windows users know not to mess with it -- so what do you suggest i do?

[10:05] Jampiter: both [10:05] kevin_needs_help you need to isolate the problem, if as i mentioned its an xorg issue which would be unusual due to your diff output you need chage that, its easy to swap the original xorg cont alt backspace back into x and check it , [10:05] start: just call your script with "sudo ./myscript.sh" then it runs as root [10:05] Prophetu:try this again, update-rc.d -f rc.local remove and after that update-rc.d rc.local defaults and reboot [10:05] I'm seeing some kernel ata3.01 errors ... is ata3 = sdc ?

[10:06] KEBA: don't know of non gui way to do it [10:06] of course, then starting firefox as root is not appropriate. [10:06] It's related to the fonts, because it mentions the name of one...I tried deleting the fonts and refreshing the cache....Didn't work [10:06] zoed: yea but with alsa force-reload.

[12:10] catmando: how strange [12:10] what is difference between fsf and opensource?\ [12:10] you're certain you're using gdm?

[12:10] SlimeyPete: I can't work it out [12:10] linxuz3r: fsf is an organisation, open source is a form of software licencing [12:10] what do i look for when i've typed lspci? [12:10] SlimeyPete: [12:11] catmando: you haven't installed kde and wound up with kdm instead of gdm? Just a thought [12:11] what about free software as in fsf and opensource? [12:11] catmando, the gdm init scripts propably have it set to respawn. Easiest way is to just switch to a non X runlevel via init [12:11] catmando, maybe not gdm, maybe kdm or xdm [12:11] what do i look for when i typed lspci? [12:11] network controller? [12:11] eth01, in linux you CAN use two ip:s for the same NIC. however, you need to do this by creating a virtual interface. see http://handsonhowto.com/virt.html , follow the "debian" instructions [12:11] SlimeyPete: please please [12:12] linxuz3r: "free software" usually means GPL-licenced stuff i.e. software which is licensed in such a way that you must make your modifications available under the same licence [12:12] linxuz3r, do you have an ubuntu support question? [12:12] linxuz3r: why not try googling for fsf.. their site has some good info [12:12] SlimeyPete, Stevko, somedrew: definitely _no_ kde [12:12] Where i my wifi card? [12:12] i can't init 2 as the nvidia installer, which is what I'm trying to run wants runlevel 3 [12:12] where is my wifi card? [12:12] catmando, I believe it is possible to use kdm/xdm without kde. [12:12] "open source" is a bit broader and includes BSD etc. - the licence states that you're free to modify the code but doesn't necessarily require that you make your own modifications available under the same licence [12:13] Stevko: this is a brand new install [12:13] i can't believe it's gotten this difficult to install nvidia drivers for ubuntu [12:13] 00:0a.0 Network controller: Agere Systems Unknown device ab34 [12:13] catmando: did the resitrcted drivers manager not work? [12:13] SlimeyPete: 9600GT [12:14] oh... you need newer drivers then I take it [12:14] Hey all, I just ran a dd_recover tool and no data at all was recovered... [12:14] yeah, even glx "new" isn't new enough apparently [12:14] catmando, try sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new ? [12:14] jp73107: see above [12:14] wow i have a 9800GT and i don't have any problems with it [12:14] you using SLI? [12:14] it looked like dd_recover /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1/ [12:14] Is there a website wich can search your pc and find all the hardware and check for driver updats? [12:14] jp73107: no - glx new corrupted everything [12:14] wow [12:15] What Ubuntu programs allow to do Webchat? [12:15] i'm using a single 512mb 9800GT on an nforce 630i board [12:15] it's also on the list of 'non supported cards' on the wiki [12:15] Anyone help me? [12:15] catmando: I just did /etc/init.d/gdm stop and it killed X [12:15] so it's not done by design [12:15] something odd about your setup, somehow [12:15] donald__: driver updates? if you're running ubuntu you'll get those automatically [12:15] bullgrade: try skype [12:16] * SlimeyPete decides to stay in console mode, for old times' sake [12:16] well a program that can find the hardware not beeing used [12:16] oh this is crazy. how can ubuntu have gotten so difficult? [12:16] idk, i'm glad mine works though lol [12:16] well I don't think it has in general, catmando - there seems to be something strange about your particular Ubuntu installation [12:16] Can anyone help me please? [12:17] SlimeyPete: i just did a completely standard install of the DVD (x86_64) [12:17] catmando, you shouldn't have to do this...but what about just preventing the gdm init script in /etc/rc3.d from being run temporarily to install the drivers? It shouldn't be needed but might do the trick [12:17] any good applications for ubuntu? [12:17] hrm, mebbe there's something odd about the 64bit version then. I'm running 32bit. [12:17] or a program that can manage my ipod [12:17] ? [12:17] DrCuddles, help with what? [12:17] i'm on 32 bit but installed from liveCD , not DVD [12:17] !ipod | donald__ [12:17] donald__: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [12:18] somedrew: yeah, i was going to do that but frankly this is all too much work compared to Fedora. but Fedora sucks because of redhat [12:18] donald__: I believe Banshee does ipod stuff, but I'm not sure as I don't have an ipod [12:18] donald__, if ubuntu does not support your wifi card, try NdisWrapper [12:18] ok thaks all [12:18] Stevko, I have just ran a dd_recover and cant see any data recovered... [12:18] hi, i have no sound in torcs, how do i fix that? [12:18] catmando, yeah I know. I've always gotten away with just switching to a vc and ctrl+alt+backspace to build the nvidia driver [12:19] Ubuntu works very well with iPods, except the iPod Touch, iPhone, and any other future generation Apple portable devices that do not show up as a generic storage device. [12:19] I have an ipod touch [12:19] damn [12:19] is there an approximate count on how many people use ubuntu? [12:20] probably not possible [12:20] 87.247.196.44 [12:20] many offline users aswell [12:20] with no internet [12:20] ahh ubuntu doesn't use popularitycontest [12:20] jp73107: check www.ubuntu.com, if there is a number it ought to be on there somewhere [12:20] i can't get to ubuntu.com right now [12:20] not sure what the deal is [12:20] Yea the site is down [12:20] guessing total site maintenance [12:20] ahh [12:20] as well aws the forum [12:20] *as [12:21] which is a pain [12:21] forum makes me sad, i'm trying to remaster an ubuntu cd =( [12:21] haha [12:21] want to install linux-image-virtual by default for my xen server at work [12:21] DrCuddles, I never heard of dd_recover and did not find it anywhere, so I am probably not the one to help you. But..where did you find/get it? [12:21] its a propper app [12:22] you might see it as ddrecover [12:22] is there aw way to make ubuntu better? [12:23] i still can't decide between fedora and ubuntu :s [12:23] with ease [12:23] oh well [12:23] learn to program, and help the developers make it better [12:23] jp73107: use the cached pages in google a fauir few of them are available as cache [12:23] anyone advise me to how id make my ubuntu installtion not randomly hard lock/have errors during shutdown/ [12:23] well i want to make a forum post :P thats my issue atm [12:23] DrCuddles, I see ddrescue (not ddrecover) === armornic is now known as armornick [12:23] anny good applications i can get? [12:24] and armornick you handle trying to do stuff in fedora [12:24] how to stop DHCP requests on unplugged NIC? [12:24] donald__: I think you need to be more specific. what do you want? [12:24] i have so many problems but i think its mainly because i'm a debian brat [12:24] hehe [12:24] something useful [12:24] stevko, thats it!

[12:25] huh, irc is telling me my username is registered? [12:25] hi [12:25] is there an easy way to install themes? [12:25] anyone advise me to how id make my ubuntu installtion not randomly hard lock/have errors during shutdown/ [12:26] how i get sound on firefox with ubuntu? [12:26] is there something flaky about copying files to and from removable media? i copy files to a usb drive, i see them in the file manager, i remove the drive and put it back and there are no files there.... this happens with all usb drives i have [12:26] donald__: if you get a properly packaged theme, you can just drag it into the Appearance Properties window [12:26] donald_, it's very easy, you just drag and drop themes into the theme manager [12:26] the folder? [12:26] or the files? [12:26] the files [12:26] MrNaz: do you eject/unmount before taking out the removable drive? [12:26] all at once? [12:26] it's supposed to be a .tar.gz [12:26] donald__: the tar.gz [12:26] DrCuddles, dd_rescue just copies file/disk/something to another file/disk/something. I think most often it is disk to file. dd can do it also, but it fails when disk is bad. dd_rescue continues in that case. So, you can use it to copy all data from bad disk to another disk and then try to do something with the result. [12:27] msaih: it's not like there is a setting somewhere in a file called "DO_NOT_CRASH_ON_SHUTDOWN 0".. it's some kind of software that crashes.. try to find out what that software is.. [12:27] can someone help me create a script? i wrote a script that does iflist wla0 scan in a terminal. how do i set it up so that wlan0 can be replaced by user input? [12:27] is therez a walkthrough on the web? [12:27] jrib why should that matter? the filesystem should be written by the time i take it out [12:27] try the gnome documentation on gnome.org [12:27] MrNaz: try it and see if it does matter [12:27] DrCuddles, but getting files from that image might not be easy. [12:28] donald__: there's no need. It's one step [12:28] can someone help me create a script? i wrote a script that does iwlist wla0 scan in a terminal. how do i set it up so that wlan0 can be replaced by user input? [12:29] Stevko, I have just ran one, i did it from a failed HDD to a external HDD and after 75GB of bad HDD there is nothing in my external drive [12:29] hi [12:29] david__: google 'advanced bash scripting guide' [12:29] how to stop DHCP requests on unplugged NIC? [12:29] msaih: search the logs for any info about stuff going wrong.. look in the syslog and the kernel log to start with [12:29] jrib, i will try that [12:29] has anyone installed Ubuntu on an iBook G3? [12:29] jrib yes, it does seem to have mattered... that's really stupid that the system doesnt write the filesystem until the drive is ejected === kirolemark is now known as Kiro [12:30] Can anyone suggest a good program for doing borderless photo prints? [12:30] sziasztok [12:30] i found something called gnome-art [12:30] hi [12:30] MrNaz, what is stupid is when people call things stupid without understanding them [12:30] van fennt magyar: [12:31] ? [12:31] MrNaz: I remember reading about why it was bad for your flash drive if you did that. Try googling 'linux usb removeable sync' maybe [12:31] thought you may want to spell removable correctly when you try :) [12:32] whois l3mu3l [12:32] jrib, i found the guide, but i need something a little more express. would you know how to do such a script? [12:32] david__: try #bash === gyllenb is now known as borz [12:33] DrCuddles, I believe that both disks would have to be identical, but maybe not (anyone knows?). I would copy disk to a file and then try to mount it. If that does not work, then I would try to run some "recovery tool" on the image. [12:33] jrib, bahs what? [12:33] david__, Try a google search for "getopts" . I found a 60 second tutorial on it last night. It does exactly what you're looking for [12:33] david__: #bash is a channel for help with bash scripting: /join #bash [12:33] oh, ok [12:34] Stevko, So you think I should rescue it to say.... /dev/sdb1/rescue.img [12:34] ender_ i wouldnt call it stupid if windows and macos both didnt have that behaviour... and i hate people who disregard the complaints of others without considering the points being made [12:34] JuzzyD, would you remember a link or name ? [12:34] david__: if you go the specific google tutorial route, do "positional arguments bash" too [12:34] Whats a good alternative to xterm that's not dependant on gnome/kde [12:34] Yeah mate, check PM. [12:35] I dunno the rules, am I allowed to link it in here? [12:35] Thermionic: urxvt? [12:35] JuzzyD: of course [12:35] Thermionic: I like eterm [12:35] Hello [12:35] fine with me anyway [12:35] http://bashcurescancer.com/the-60-second-getopts-tutorial.html [12:35] There you go david__. Worked a treat for me! [12:35] anyone noticed http://ubuntuforums.org/ is down? I can't connect to it. [12:35] yep [12:35] Rhubarb: yes- [12:36] Definitely not /dev/sdb1/rescue.img [12:36] ah ok, so it's not just me then [12:36] gret, that was what i was looking for, thanks to all [12:36] So does anyone know of a good solution for photo printing from nix? [12:36] eterm is butugly [12:36] JuzzyD, try gthumb [12:36] DrCuddles, Did you try to mount /dev/sdb1 after copying sda1 there? (I believe yes, but just asking) [12:36] Thanks Rhubarb. How's it cope with Borderless? === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja [12:38] hmmm, I'm using xterm, and when launching a script that opens child windows, ctrl-c won't close them [12:39] not sure JuzzyD, never tried gthumb with borderless printing. gthumb will allow you to print multiple photos on one piece of paper [12:39] Stevko, mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /media/disk [12:39] mount failed [12:39] Steveko, so it is already mounted [12:39] and /media/disk is empty? [12:39] i have installed ubuntu first [12:39] Thermionic: the application can trap the signal ctrl-c and do whatever it wants with it [12:39] Stevko, Yes [12:39] then i installed gentoo, but the boot loader grub is not installed [12:40] Thermionic: try ctrl-\ if you really want to quit it and don't want to give the application a chance to shutdown cleanly === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [12:40] so now i cant boot any of the OSs from my hard drive [12:40] DrCuddles, I believe that when you did dd_rescue it was not mounted (and you were running it as root). [12:40] i want to install grub [12:40] How? [12:41] Stevko, I definately mounted both drives first and ran it as root [12:41] how to install grub? [12:41] mirash, grub is installed when you install linux [12:41] bye [12:42] DrCuddles, I think it is not good idea to do dd_rescue with mounted drive (at least not the one to which you copy, but both umounted sounds better to me) [12:43] hi [12:43] any1 know why ubuntuforums.org is down? [12:44] how I can run OpenArena on 0.8.0 older servers [12:44] ?? [12:45] gener, you need 3d acceleration, at least [12:45] I have [12:45] ATI graphick [12:45] Stevko, How am I supposed to tell dd_rescue to rescue drives that arent mounted??? How do i set it up in the paramters? [12:46] Stevko, dd_rescue {Drive to read from} write to} [12:46] bbl gtg have all a nice day/night [12:46] look. In multiplayer I have new server list [12:46] I need older server list === psy is now known as psy-blade [12:47] like no CTF on 0.7.1 [12:47] Hey all. [12:48] Hate to burst in and ask a question straight away but I am a little short on time. [12:48] What is the relation of Openoffice.org and Java? [12:49] I'm having some trouble disabling the internal mic and using the line-in instead on 8.04 with pulseaudio. Anybody have any ideas? I tried the PulseAudio Manager, but I turnt he mic down in that and Audacity still uses the internal mic. [12:49] DrCuddles, /dev/sda1 is a drive. When you mount it to some directory (e.g. /media/sda1) , this directory will show the content of that drive. If the drive /dev/sda1 is mounted, it is not good to work with /dev/sda1, since some parts (some internal structures) of it are opened by operating system (Linux in this case). [12:50] irc.del.bg [12:50] DrCuddles, If you want to copy sda1 to sdb1, you can run dd_rescue /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 [12:50] DrCuddles, when both are umounted [12:50] DrCuddles, it will rewrite whole sdb1 (so anything that was there is not anymore) [12:51] bullgard4, both are made by sun microsystems [12:51] DrCuddles, sdb1 should be same size as sda1 (or larger). Then you can try to mount /dev/sdb1 However I am not sure if it will work. [12:51] Stevko, Thanks lots f :Por this, I have unmounted both drives now and am going to run dd_rescue, talk to you later [12:51] :P [12:51] armornick: Is that all that you can contribute to the question put? [12:52] bullgard4, I don't think there's any other relation [12:52] can i open some autostart application/config via a cmd in the terminal? [12:52] Stevko, oh yeah and should i run it under sudo? [12:52] DrCuddles, nothing worse than completely loosing everuthing on sda and sdb cannot happen. [12:52] DrCuddles, but be prepared, since it can happen [12:52] armornick: I see. Thank you for commenting. [12:52] Oh hmm Audacity doesn't support pulseaudio... [12:53] Stevko, I understand the risks, should i run it in sudo? [12:53] DrCuddles, it will not work without sudo, so yes, sudo.

I downloaded alsa 1.0.17 and trying to ./configure but i get an error. Take a look at http://pastebin.com/f7883752f and see if anyone understand whats wrong and what has to be done? [14:14] RandyboY, whats wrong with "sudo apt-get install alsa" these dyas === Intuitive is now known as Jonny-- [14:14] Is there a way to repack everything I have installed on here (ubuntu) onto a dvd so I can show a friend, get them off windows? [14:14] jrib plz help am new with ubuntu' [14:15] what's the name of the tool to test which mirror might give me faster downloads? [14:15] ive used APTonCD but it does have some drawbacks [14:15] ykphuah, you pick the mirror closest to you [14:15] pro-rsoft, i dont have any sound on the alsa drive installed. So i have to go besides the repos and install latest stable driver? [14:16] well if sound doesn't work, compiling alsa from scratch would be the last thing I'd do [14:16] Y-Seti: that wasn't my question, but thanks anyway. [14:17] Y-Seti: Ubuntu 8.04 Ultimate Edition 1.9 is good for showing off with. But the dvd is a 1.7gig download [14:17] darksifer: I haven't seen fdisk complain about partitions like that before, so the first thing I would try would be to repartition it [14:17] Y-Seti: I'd like to know what you want to know too... if you find out please tell me how [14:17] is there some way that i can run a DOS prompt within ubuntu? [14:17] pro-rsoft, ok? Youd just leave it with no sound? [14:17] Finiras: yes. DOSBox [14:17] how can I get the ubuntu thing to my panel? anyone understands it? I mean the thing that comes to the upper right corner.. [14:17] It also has a horrid dark look when first run that can be changed easily [14:17] so u tell me to repartition all my hardisk [14:17] ? [14:17] it'll emulate DOS for you so you can run DOS software [14:17] RandyboY, why would compiling alsa from scratch make it any better [14:18] RandyboY, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems === [ID]-9470 is now known as georgeZL [14:18] darksifer: no, just your usb flash drive [14:18] Hi! there. I have too many thin clients to setup menus and default looks. Is there anyway how to make a single setup and copy into each user's home? [14:18] compiling from scratch would give you a newer version of ALSA [14:18] slimeypete so i can use it to run programs designed for dos, like .bat and .com files? [14:18] i've got an issue where a new hdd makes clicking noises when the machine goes idle. To make it stop i've been using hdparm -B 254 is there a way to permanently set this value as i've got to set this after every boot? [14:18] Or install it from backports [14:18] RandyboY, soryr, wrong link. This one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [14:18] Or don't use ALSA at all [14:18] that might improve things. Or, knowing ALSA, make them worse. [14:18] I've installed Ubuntu 8.04 and selected English as the installation language.. I thought I could change system language after installation, but now it turned out System->Administration->Language Support only offers a selection of English languages -- how can I change that? [14:18] leenuks, ive installed alot of stuff on here, even stuff that doesnt come with the base ubuntu, drivers for tv cards and stuff, this is want id like to show my mate.. [14:18] Finiras: I believe so, yes. [14:19] certainly seems to work for me. [14:19] if you have a laptop, I'd suggest looking up the laptop in the LaptopTestingTeam page [14:19] though I only run bought software (not homebrew stuff) on DOSBox. [14:19] always start at the ubuntu wiki [14:19] RaceCondition: it should tell you that not all languages are installed and ask you if you want others installed [14:19] im not sure if that is possible. but im thinking if you can clone your system to a dvd that MIGHT work. dont know how though [14:19] ashesofpain: where? [14:20] When i run sudo in a terminal, it asks for a password. When i run it again, it doesn't ask for a password. For how long will not ask for a password again? [14:20] sinan: so no pastebin for me? [14:20] sinan, usually 30 minutes [14:20] Finiras, it migth work, but external dos commands (those that were separate executable files) might not be available. [14:20] jrib: i am collecting my problem, sorry :D [14:20] RaceCondition: if it doesn't ask then you have them installed... [14:20] sinan: 15 minutes is default [14:20] ashesofpain: so how can I select a language other than English then? it only lists English [14:20] RaceCondition: it should show you all languages ... if it doesn't sorry I dunno how to help [14:20] sinan, sudo -k cancels those 15 minutes (so next sudo will ask) [14:21] hi [14:21] http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1 Which one do i download, there's no .deb file stevko [14:21] Finiras, try using ubuntu's repository [14:21] Finiras: just use Synaptic or do "sudo apt-get install dosbox" in a terminal [14:21] i tried a apt-get but there was nothing [14:21] RaceCondition: above the default language you should check the language you want installed [14:21] hmm.

[15:12] DrCuddles, the system's probably trying to remount, but it might be locked still [15:12] I used Wubi, and installed li,e a dream and I'm using Ubun tu now to get on here. [15:13] kulawend: -rt is a real-time kernel - do you have need for one? [15:13] waan, i just unplugged it then plugged it in [15:13] No, it just showed up. [15:13] Wulfy: Can you ping anything? [15:13] DrCuddles, did it show up? [15:13] !forums [15:13] forums is Yes, ubuntuforums is down. We don't know when ubuntuforums.org will return. [15:13] kulawend: you can install if from the repositories... maybe you installed it somehow? It installs like any other package, and then you will have that as a new option when you boot [15:13] From the virtual machine yes, from the host nothing, it just says 'destination unreachable' [15:14] hi [15:14] waan, its mounted it but now i get an error saying: Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "disk" [15:14] ushimitsudok: what is it for?

[15:15] To check whether or not a website is really down, please use http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ (requires Javascript) instead of polling the channel. Thank you! [15:15] kulawend: some uses need (or work better) with a real-time kernel. For example, audio production. Some games even suggest a real-time kernel. However, it is one of those things that if you don't know you need it, you probably don't [15:15] want to unstall ubuntu muslim edition [15:15] i'm already under ubuntu hardy [15:15] Mr_Fixit_A, Rhythmbox is great if you like simple, otherwise you might want to try amarok [15:16] caan i add some packages [15:16] or smthg like that [15:16] Mr_Fixit_A, listen, gMusicBrowser, elisa-media-center [15:16] Mr_Fixit_A, moc is a nice, light, curses based player [15:16] ushimitsudoki: Audio?

[15:17] yea thanks guys [15:17] DrCuddles, did you run an automated dd_rescue? Or did you use the logfile method? [15:17] Mr_Fixit_A-> perhaps its a feature? hehe..you discovered a new tool for an aspiring DJ? i remember back in the days..rap was like playing broken records..hehe [15:18] lol.. no it's not a good thing lemmie tell ya [15:18] Now ive been to #alsa and they tried to help me with my sound-problem. They couldnt help me there either. Could anyone help me in here? Ive just bought myself a Acer Aspire 6920 and the sound isnt working with latest Ubuntu... === izibi_ is now known as izibi [15:19] waan, i just typed in dd_rescue /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 sda1 being the bad drive sdb1 being my external HDD that I now cant access [15:19] Mr_Fixit_A-> no really, i mean i have not heard that before, so a new tool for those innovative dj's to make unique sound perhaps? [15:20] DrCuddles: that command overwrote your external drive with the bad drive [15:20] hi all, does anyone know how could i perform a screenshot or better, a screencast of gdm ? [15:20] jbroome, soo... that did nothing but make the external drive bad [15:20] RandyboY, #alsa would be the experts...but as a first step is your card supported by the alsa version bundled with the current Ubuntu version? [15:21] DrCuddles: it made a bit-by-bit copy of your bad drive [15:21] jbroome, lol so how do i use it to jsut recover a drive? [15:21] jbroome, so that I can recover data on it, send it to a .img file? [15:21] RandyboY, after that it's a matter of loading the appropriate driver with the correct special parameters (i'm guessing that's needed or else it would just work automagically for you). [15:22] djamel: use a virtualmachine running ubuntu and screencast the vm window? [15:24] popey, mm ok, good idea, thx, but it also means i'll have to install it before [15:24] but it's already a solution :) [15:24] hi all :-) I screwed up my system and need help putting it right. [15:24] popey, you think i can do it with virtual box ? ubuntu over ubuntu === geo is now known as geo05 [15:25] djamel: yes, i do it [15:25] MrCraig-> a new install? [15:25] I'm trying to apt-get install fpc-source but when I do, I get en error that it's trying to overwrite a file in package fpc-src (which I tried to install manually before) - the file doesn't exist and apt-get remove fpc-src tells me that it's not installed. [15:25] djamel: if you look at the older screencasts at http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/ that's how they were done - with qemu instead of virtualbox - but the principle is the same [15:25] jakewc2 Forums are back up [15:25] popey, ok cool, i'll do that then [15:26] how can i save my wpa-key? so that i dont have to type it again? gnome is using a "key-manager" called nm-applet, but everytime i want to access the wpa-wlan i have to type in my nm-applet password === izibi_ is now known as izibi === Myrtti changed the topic of #ubuntu to: Official Ubuntu Support Channel | Important, please type /msg ubottu etiquette | Be patient and read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ | Support options: http://www.ubuntu.com/support | IRC info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC | Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu.com | Install Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [15:27] DIFH-iceroot-> i read sometime ago, that you can put that in your /etc/network/interfaces file, i dont use it myself so cant really confirm how to do it [15:27] Hi all... I removed totem and installed xine.... I've right clicked an avi file in nautilus and set xine to be used to always play this type... but if I go to properties on the file.. it tells me it can't find /usr/share/totem/properties.ui how do I go about resolving this?? [15:28] jbroome_, So should I get it to recover it to a .img file? [15:28] amenado: thanks, i will look, kde can save my key and dont ask me again, so i though gnome is able to do it too [15:28] jbroome, *rescue [15:28] I got it fixed, i removed VMWare Player and rebooted. Thanks for the advice any-ways all. See ya.. [15:29] DrCuddles, can you access the drive you recovered from? [15:29] Hi all! [15:29] waan, no thats why im rescuing it [15:29] Are there Russian peple? [15:30] !ru [15:30] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [15:30] DrCuddles, it might be beyond rescuing, that's my only guess [15:30] !defaultapp [15:30] To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations" [15:31] waan, but surely i can rescue the data to a .img file then try a recovery tool or something [15:31] djamel-> look into this www.linux.com/feature/57196 using pyvnc2swf [15:31] amenado, i'm checking [15:31] DrCuddles, possible you can recover data from that external disk, but thats beyond me, sorry [15:31] DrCuddles-> how big is that partition? [15:32] hey, if I search getdeb.net a package for hardy can I use it in gutsy without any problem? [15:32] Schuenemann: i wouldnt count on it [15:33] amenado, the Internal HDD is around 80GB the external is 250GB, is it possible for me to direct the rescue to a .img file? [15:33] jbroome_, are they different? [15:33] DrCuddles: yes [15:34] jbroome, do i need a .img file there first or will it make one for me? [15:34] Schuenemann: yes, that's why they have different names [15:34] DrCuddles-> you can not use mount right? can you try using just dd to copy part of that image for just lets say 10meg for tryout? [15:34] ill try, let me jsut go recover my external HDD for use [15:34] jbroome_, the .deb don't have different names [15:35] somedrew_, how do i find out if it is? [15:35] djamel-> also kindly let me know how it goes okay? am curious as how good and how much one is able to control the video produced..i have not used it myself yet [15:37] i setup my desktop with the 3d cube effect, anyone know how i can add a background to the blackscreen when the tube rotates? === Guest65721 is now known as tequilaa [15:37] amenado, it looks very interesting, even if it produces swf, the thing is i need to screencast the gdm splash screen, so i think i'll first install a ubuntu in a virtualbox, and then maybe use it [15:38] RandyboY, a lot of googling :) Check your installed alsa version either via apt or from packages.ubuntu.com, then check the alsa website for supported chips from that, and finally searching google for something like 'modprobe options OR parameters' to find out how to load the module. If you need to know the chip, 'lspci' should spit out the required info [15:38] amenado, also as i ts a vnc-based application maybe there's a way to do sart it remotely or spmething like that [15:39] xchat [15:39] sorry wrong windows [15:39] djamel okay...just my reading of it -- sounds interesting, i just dont have the tools (like sound on mine) to make those work [15:39] RandyboY, , it's a lot of running around, but it's either a new chip not yet fully supported or a really esoteric one (unlikely) and that's why it's so difficult to get it going [15:39] for the first time ever, I've been able to make sense of a series of error messages and correct them one at a time to come to a solution :-P pat me on the back! [15:40] I've got the sound cards setup right in the Sound dialog, I can hear sound normally from things like youtube, etc.. but no sound from ZSNES, and there isn't a setting to specifically set a sound driver to use [15:40] * amenado pats MrCraig on the back, atta boy..hehe [15:40] :-) === nospam is now known as Guest29649 [15:40] MrCraig-> yeah persistence is the key to enjoying linux :P [15:40] what is linux [15:40] lol - oh that lesson has been learned true enough :) [15:41] Hi all, [15:41] !linux [15:41] Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system.

[15:43] ? [15:43] Isn't that like the oldest bug? [15:43] I am downloading Redhat CentOS-4.7-i386-binDVD 2.3GB by Torrent the question is what is the difference from iso === nextplace1 is now known as nextplace_laptop [15:43] benjick, do not give them attention [15:44] Sorry, wan't my intention [15:44] The Stallion [15:44] three feet long. It can be three to six inches thick at the base, to about [15:44] two inches thick at the head. Horses are somewhat different from other [15:44] animals in the way their cock head works. When a horse is fully erect and [15:44] excited and ready to mount, his cock head is somewhat pointed and not as [15:44] entry into the mare. After the horse has entered and reaches a climax the [15:44] head swells (though it is more spongy then hard) into a fist sized mass as [15:44] semen deep into the mare rather then allowing it to leak out. A full grown [15:44] stallion can ejaculate about one cup ( 8 ounces ) of semen. It will take [15:44] quite a few spurts to accomplish this. Each time his tail will raise and [15:44] lower in a brief flick. The first few jets are of a thin to average [15:44] substance... it is thought that this serves to "seal" the mares pussy so [15:44] that the semen has time to do it's thing before leaking out. Horse semen [15:44] to it...not at all bitter like man's cum. You can easily drink cups of it [15:44] ???? [15:44] with no discomfort. [15:44] Mares can be quite satisfactory for the average well endowed male. If you [15:44] or "platform shoes"...(IE mini stilts to raise you a foot off the ground) [15:44] candive: that should be the iso [15:44] wth is going on? [15:45] Schuenemann, small brained people with nothing better to do. [15:45] lol ok [15:45] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.

A person could fuck or suck them and not bring them to the [15:45] coming repeatedly to a horse and arousing him he will become trained to see [15:45] her...then coat your fingers with her juice.

[15:49] how can i manually install a ubuntu with apt-get/aptitude? is there some installer or meta package? [15:49] there's some DCC flooding as well [15:49] how do I ignore incoming transfers? === Skyrail is now known as Skyrail|MATHS [15:49] redarrow, thats because it is :) [15:50] Imaginativeone, ignore the person [15:50] atari, you can install packages with apt-get thats it [15:50] waan: seems really stupid to do such scripts things with an ipv6 address [15:50] atari, use dpkg for local packages [15:51] Imaginativeone: using Xchat? click on Settings>Prefs>Files Transfers and set to not accept file transfers [15:51] redarrow, they think they are more 1337 with ipv6, or untraceable [15:51] somedrew_, arvind_khadri: i have an empty system with only kernel etc. on it. now i need to install all ubuntu packages [15:51] i'm familiair with debian etc... [15:52] ubuntu-desktop is the meta package [15:52] atari, what about just using a live cd with apt installed and just chroot into the new system and build it from there? [15:52] atari, you will need to compile the source code of Ubuntu on the kernel [15:52] halo evrybody [15:52] the server isn't registering any mail adress? [15:52] address* [15:52] waan: very funny joke ;) [15:52] i already have the ubuntu kernel installed. also the universe repository... [15:52] atari, you can even use what somedrew_ said [15:53] i can't boot from a cd. unfortunately that's no option [15:53] atari, so you only have the cli now? [15:53] if i installed a python application. how do i remove it [15:53] arvind_khadri: yeah [15:53] is this command true for write ubuntu.iso on flashdisk ? dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/USBDRIVE [15:53] atari, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [15:53] dpkg --get-selections <-- that list would help. or would i miss anything? [15:53] compengi: delete the python script [15:53] guys whenever i try to register a mail it tells me its not valid [15:53] babaklinux: yes [15:54] arvind_khadri: that's it? that easy?

[15:58] HalphaZ, its already there in the repo [15:58] I get so worried its going to overheat and explode. its always so hot on the bottom that it's uncomfortable to touch [15:58] Flynsarmy, thats probably down to firmware [15:59] hello.how to delete windows partition and add it to ubuntu partition [15:59] Massiv0r, try .com [15:59] is not a valid email address [15:59] you're right [15:59] same [16:00] :-) I didn't see it [16:00] thanks a much [16:00] thanks a lot [16:00] Flynsarmy: try to clean the fan....

Please read the documentation carefully though because your i8kutil settings will bypass the BIOS fan control [16:02] arwin_khadri: i try like this /msg nickserv register <**********> [16:02] dido, sudo apt-get install qtparted gparted [16:02] somedrew_: hi [16:02] somedrew_: with what command van make an iso from cd/dvd?

[16:53] libc should just be for userspace API [16:53] s0u][ight: er, that shouldnt happen. like somedrew_ says, your system is borked [16:53] Why won't my Dual view not work? http://paste.ubuntu.com/46904/ (xorg.conf) I got 2 x 22" syncmaster 226CW and an ati x1650 (1 VGA/1 DVI) currently both screens shows the same [16:54] s0u][ight, could be. I'd guess that MOST apps are currently busted on the system [16:54] Hello. What is the package that detects when a Ubuntu, or variant, CD/DVD is inserted and shows a dialog asking if it should start the addon manager? [16:54] Is that a feature of Nautilus perhaps? [16:54] cilkay: yes [16:54] A PROBLEM : I need to restrict a user from connecting to internet how can i do that?..... please help [16:54] danbh_intrepid: maybe you know something about creative x-fi drivers, my ubuntu is doomed if i cannot found because i have only sound card that is xtreme music. [16:54] Quick question, I just downloaded Google Earth, and it gave me a bin file, ummm how do I install it? (linux nub) [16:54] Babam: install it from medibuntu instead [16:55] !medibuntu > Babam [16:55] Babam, please see my private message [16:55] danbh_intrepid: Anything similar for KDE? [16:56] intrepid is released end october right? [16:56] uffo: try install OSS https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound [16:56] A PROBLEM : I need to restrict a user from connecting to internet how can i do that?..... please help [16:57] uffo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=870001 [16:57] danbh_intrepid: ok i look if i find binary there [16:58] uffo: you wont [16:58] uffo: there is no binary, anywhere, none, at least according to that website [16:58] s0u][ight, it will be an easy fix though https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery follow 'update recovery' section. You'll need a live cd though and make sure your sources.list is the appropriate one for your ubuntu version. cheers [16:59] danbh_intrepid: too bad, i wait ubuntu 8.10 maybe that fixes it or maybe 9.04 [16:59] somedrew_, tnx [16:59] legend2440: can i know how you know which package to install plz? [16:59] s0u][ight, with those instructions you'll basically be using apt-get on the live cd to downgrade libc6 to the proper version in your system [16:59] Blaze_Boy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82807 [16:59] will any body help? [16:59] oO [16:59] :p [16:59] danbh_intrepid: lets hope shuttleworth makes easyer these things [16:59] is it supposed to take over 5 hours to encode an AVI file to mpeg-2 so I can burn it on a DVD? === Wick|away is now known as Wickk [17:00] how to enable root login in ubuntu [17:00] If I recompile a kernel with make-kpkg, when is it necessary to run "make-dpkg clean" at the beginning? [17:00] !root | Aayush [17:00] Aayush: 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 [17:00] Wickk: On a slower machine, yes. I just did that and it took over an hour on a Core2 Duo machine for a 1:40 TV show. [17:01] we can set root password... cant we.. [17:01] somedrew_, the steps are easy :) [17:01] uffo: they will, but it takes time. Creative was not cooperative, and so that delayed the release of any driver. [17:01] will they work? [17:01] i have done it before but i forget it now so i am asking [17:01] darksifer: ususally if it asks for GLIB or GTK for compiling it means look for file called libglib or libgtk and -dev is for compiling [17:01] Aayush: You can, but why should You want to? [17:01] Aayush, you can but it's not recommended [17:01] rubystallion, pretty much all the time. It's even expected to do a 'mrproper' on the kernel source tarball. [17:01] btw i have only a wireless connection [17:01] A PROBLEM : I need to restrict a user from connecting to internet how can i do that?..... please help [17:01] will any body help? [17:01] hi [17:01] cilkay: I'm encoding movie that's 1:44 minutes and my processor is only 433 mhz so is that why? [17:01] dunno if it works with a live cd [17:01] Blaze_Boy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82807 [17:02] ccould u tell me how to enable root login [17:02] oh thanks [17:02] i'll check it out :) [17:02] danbh_intrepid: ok thanks, i return to windows xp then back to unknow time till binary has been released [17:02] Aayush: you shouldn't and is unsupported === arwyn_ is now known as arwynh [17:02] darksifer: no more errors now? [17:02] somedrew_: Hmm, too bad, it takes so much more time. And when don't I have to run it? [17:02] Blaze_Boy: There is an IP-Tables module that can do that for you, but imho it's experimental. [17:02] Blaze_Boy-> you can use iptables to restrict..use the user or uid option perhaps? [17:02] lemme lookup my live cd [17:02] s0u][ight, the steps should work, if libc6 doesn't get installed just install it manually. About wireless...hopefully the drivers will be on the cd [17:02] uffo: take care [17:02] Aayush: use sudo as i already told you [17:02] Wickk: Core2 Duo 2x GHz > 1 hour vs. 433MHz > 5 hours - what do you think? :) [17:03] Aayush, i think you just use "sudo passwd" and then you can set a root password... as mentioned though there is no reason to do this... [17:03] 433mhz is way, way too slow for video encoding [17:03] cilkay: ugh thanks anyway [17:03] so what do i do after the sudo make install command [17:03] SlimeyPete, just depends how patient you are :D [17:03] <|unjustice|> hey I cannot do anything to my package repositories since adding medibuntiu list [17:03] bringatowel: well, true ;) [17:03] brb hopefully [17:03] lets see if you guys can help me a bit. running hardy on a laptop and i would like to get a respawning reverse ssh tunnel up every time the laptop boots even if/when i do not have a network running at the time the thing boots. a nice respawn in inittab would do the trick but this damn thing does not *have* inittab and i just cannot make the upstart bring up the tunnel if the network is not enabled at boot time [17:03] somedrew_: usually, the updater wont downgrade a package, I think he may have to use synaptic or something [17:03] <|unjustice|> aI checked file...and it says it saved okay [17:04] basically: where the heck should i put the tunnel command? [17:04] <|unjustice|> just trying to play a DVD, the DVD and the drive are fine [17:04] |unjustice|: you never pastebinned the information I asked for [17:04] SlimeyPete, i did my first video encoding on a 200mhz pentium pro, of course it is not recommended if you can avoid it :D [17:04] <|unjustice|> ah [17:04] Hey guys I am new this channel help me get along !!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [17:04] Hi Guys,i need hekp configuring a modem [17:05] danbh_intrepid, yeah good point. Won't explicitely selecting the package do it though (with a warning of 'current is newer than'...) [17:05] yes it start [17:05] somedrew_: I don't know [17:06] IS seyon work on ubuntu?? [17:06] rubystallion, only when you're recompiling. You may get away without doing it, but weird errors can sometimes popup. [17:07] which is one is better seyon or minicom? === chris__ is now known as CyberCr33p [17:07] <|unjustice|> jrib: http://pastebin.com/m4140cdb2 [17:08] what's the most aesthetically pleasing IM client ?

A clean only shouldn't take too much time though. I actually just recently found out that the official kernel dev stance is 'never trust a kernel.org tarball as being completely clean, always do a 'rmproper' on sources' but i thinks that's pretty much overkill [17:10] ubottu: that's the output of wget. I'm asking you to open /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list in a text editor and pastebin what you see [17:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:10] dra what have you done to make it work?

[18:40] jim_p tried w/ module-assistant [18:40] perlsyntax_: do a shortcut by rightclicking on the desktop [18:41] mrbiscuit78: nope.. best way maybe is to type out your situation in a text editor then copy and paste it to paste.ubuntu.com. Provide the link here for all to view and maybe render assistance on. [18:41] amenado: i want to know if apache and mysql are being loaded on boot [18:41] Muhammad_Saad: sudo -s [18:41] soundray: i just thought u must defrag in ext3 as in ntfs.

[18:41] keepsake, in kde I could run it like this: kdesu [18:41] tamer, not really [18:41] PPKuma-> after it boot, you can check the ps and see if has started yes? [18:41] what about gnome?

[18:43] Azazel-A2, I have solved the problem now. Thanks. Just another question. How do I know which device files have been created when I plug in a device? [18:43] yates: some cameras have an option to setup the usb connection as a "HD" or something similar. You might try opening Fspot and clicking on the import button using that to navigate to the camera. Otherwise, as I do with my Nikon, I remove the SD card and put it in a reader.. then all works well.. [18:43] !gksu | keepsake [18:43] keepsake: 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) [18:43] r00t_, it hasnt been mounted I think.....Im booting of it.....and now I got the "cd-rom" issue as I dont have any and the installtion doesnt seem to recognice my USB as the installation media :-| [18:43] soundray: ah, i see [18:43] Okay, guys.

[18:43] cheeky: don't use 2.x those are still alfas/betas... stable ones are in repos... dont worry [18:43] has anyone tried Apollon [18:44] where can I get the codecs to play dvds?!?!?!?!?!?!?! [18:44] hello, i have problem with segmentation fault. everytime i try to turn on "glxinfo" as regular user it gives me name of display: :0.0 and segmentation fault... if i do it as root, it works. anyone have any idea whats going on?

[18:45] cheeky: repos = repositories .... just install it via adept/synaptic/apt-get [18:45] i can't find it [18:45] Hi [18:45] keepsake: gksudo is used to start a gui app and sudo typically a text based console app [18:45] scunizi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/46927/ [18:45] jim_p, Thanks for help.

[18:56] cherico: actually wait [18:56] cherico: do a "winecfg" in console [18:56] taht was the question, but what is apollon? [18:56] Du you speak Srbian [18:56] When I come out of hibernation, I always have a dummy mount of my pen-drive [18:57] cherico: make it emulate windows XP or something [18:57] user_: yes, I had the same problem a while ago... no idea why, though. I gave up. [18:57] and I can't unmount it with the buttin [18:57] r00t? still need help>? [18:57] yes [18:57] how do I unmount it? [18:57] soundray: in that, everything was Ok [18:57] Jel zna neko srpski [18:57] cherico: hit okay, and then try to run the application [18:57] lol like i know how to do that :o [18:57] It said it was 1024x768, the same resolution as everything else [18:57] user__: were there any errors on connecting? I've never used apollon but usually if there is an error displayed someone might know a fix [18:57] But it isn't [18:57] I can view it on lappy as smb://server/200gb%20external/Music, but I have to copy them to the desktop to actually open the files... [18:57] SherlawkDragon: sudo umount /media/ ( is the actual directory name) [18:57] cherico: just type in "winecfg" in console [18:58] Sey something in a Serbian [18:58] 102gb, 48 days of music is too much to keep copying back and forth. =] [18:58] cool [18:58] ok, try this. I have an idea. first go into terminal [18:58] Nutzebahn:you can read it from 70-persistent-net.rules [18:58] this is so fun to learn lol [18:58] on lappy or through ssh to server? [18:58] cherico: haha; in the first tab you're shown, set the os to Windows XP [18:58] alo bre jel me neko razume [18:58] lappy [18:58] cherico: or whatever windows you used to use [18:59] xp yeah [18:59] ubuntu does not install smbfs and samba packages by default so only smb:// works :( [18:59] apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [18:59] cherico: then run the application again (toonboom) [18:59] cherico, yeah it is a blast isnt it [18:59] ja neznam engleski [18:59] then xp stuff should work ? [18:59] yeah it is !! :D [18:59] Jampiter: sorry, have to be away for a while. Please restate your question to the channel. Include the information that I have asked off you [18:59] jebem vas ja [18:59] Ok, thanks :) [18:59] cherico: many XP programs will work in wine [18:59] cherico: some won't [18:59] soryy [18:59] sorry [19:00] so install smbfs? [19:00] this pwns [19:00] !serbian | ludoskin [19:00] ludoskin: Molimo udjite u #ubuntu-rs za pomoc u vezi sa Ubuntuom na srpskom jeziku. [19:00] cherico: does it work? [19:00] yes that was my problem [19:00] install smbfs and samba packages [19:00] andresj> thanks [19:00] oh lol ill try it now one sec i deleted the torrent -.- lol [19:00] SherlawkDragon: haha no prob :) [19:00] right now only gnome can see the smb stuff, not individual programmes :( [19:01] cherico: the torrent? have you downloaded the program off the torrent yet? [19:01] cherico: i thought you said you had an "exe" file? [19:01] I've gnome installed, and just installed smbfs and samba [19:01] GDM is at a different resolution to everything else on my system. It's at 1280x800 as everything else is as 1024x768. How may I remedy this? [19:01] ok. you need to make a mount for the network drive. follow these instructions [19:01] terminal [19:01] sudo -s [19:02] !su [19:02] 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) [19:02] !sudo -i [19:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about sudo -i [19:02] hey the preferred way to login as root is `sudo -i`, right? cuz i saw a page in the wiki with `sudo su -` instead [19:03] then mkdir /mnt/{what ever you want to call the mount point} [19:03] andresj: please show me that page [19:03] andresj: that should not be in the ubuntu official wiki [19:03] what's wrong with sudo su? [19:03] mount from where though smb:// ? [19:03] yes from the torrent [19:03] it was the setup.exe [19:04] cherico: ah, okay [19:04] cherico: try running it now [19:04] mounting it to /media/external, but from what source? [19:04] ikonia: well it's in the community part :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/QuickNetboot [19:04] keepsake: won't take the ubuntu super user profile for example, and many other things [19:04] keepsake, 'sudo su -' isn't too bad 'sudo su' sould be avoided [19:04] andresj: reading, thank you [19:04] ikonia, Seveas: so use "sudo -i" right? [19:05] new wad file: http://www.hardstylersunited.dk/index.php [19:05] why not just use su [19:05] ? [19:05] ok, lets try this mount -t smbfs //your_servers_name_etc /media/external -o username={your username on server},password={passwrod on server} [19:05] keepsake, it's shorter than sudo su - so yes ;) [19:05] reallu, why do we have the `su` command in the first place if it's not to be used? [19:05] ndf, no root password :) [19:05] Seveas: okay, thanks =P [19:05] so is wine no longer allowing people to join? [19:05] hey, anyone know how to use colors in console apps? [19:05] Seveas: lol ok [19:05] the #wine chan? [19:05] lol gotta find it again [19:05] if this works we will update fstab and you can mount and unmount easy enough [19:05] andresj: updated, thank you [19:05] cherico: okay, haha [19:06] Seveas: iirc, the root passwd is the same as the first user [19:06] How can I get the terminal to tell me the exact version of Ubuntu I have? [19:06] (in ubuntu) [19:06] SherlawkDragon, search tldp.org for the advanced bash tutorial -- that explains it [19:06] uname -a [19:06] ndf: no it's not [19:06] ndf, that is most definitely not true and never has been [19:06] never mind [19:06] thank you [19:06] ok [19:06] ikonia: haha no prob; i was gonna do it, but wanted to make sure :) [19:06] Seveas>thanks [19:06] Nutzebahn - lsb_release -a [19:06] is it worth it to go ubuntu8.10 right now? [19:07] r00t? did the mount work? [19:07] keepsake: %100 no [19:07] cat /etc/issue [19:07] I found it. [19:07] keepsake, only if you want regular breakage :) [19:07] ikonia, Seveas: is it really that unstable =P [19:07] Thank you danand [19:07] . [19:07] new wad file: http://www.hardstylersunited.dk/index.php [19:07] keepsake: you shouldn't use a release until it's stable [19:07] why is ubuntu so adamant on keeping you from being root? [19:07] Nutzebahn - np [19:07] ndf: why do you want to be root so bad [19:08] ikonia: okay =P, thanks [19:08] !ops | awesomme is spamming [19:08] awesomme is spamming: Help! Channel emergency!

[19:08] i don't, i'm just wondering why [19:08] Anyone? [19:08] on my old slackware box i used to use su instead of sudo -i [19:08] ndf: so ? [19:08] sudo mount -t smbfs //server/20gb%20external/Music -o username password just displays the man page [19:08] i don't understand why ubuntu is so adamant that you shouldnt do that? [19:08] ndf: the effort for security that ubuntu has put in is sterling, why do you feel you need to be root [19:09] ndf: why do you feel the need to do it instead of the ubuntu method ? [19:09] ndf: why will you not use sudo -i [19:09] new wad file: http://www.hardstylersunited.dk/index.php [19:09] no -o username=xxx,pasword=xxx you need no spaces and a comma [19:09] i'm not saying i won't use sudo -i [19:09] i'm just asking why we shouldnt be root? [19:09] so username=username,password=password? [19:09] ndf: no - one said you shouldn't be [19:09] ndf, IMO if you have a problem with the way *buntu does things then don't use *buntu. It is not like you have no other choices. :) [19:09] I'm trying to boot the ubuntu livecd, and it keeps kernel panic'ing, saying something about not syncing: Machine check. Any ideas? [19:09] ndf, security best practice is not to have too many privileges you don't need [19:09] eracc: i'm not saying i have a problem [19:10] i'm just asking why [19:10] except put your username and pawword in lieu of =username and =password :D [19:10] ndf: you are root with sudo -i [19:10] not really [19:10] sudo is root [19:10] ndf: It's also a real good way to keep people from doing to much dammage to their system. As root you can mess quite a bit up that you cannot do as just a user. [19:10] Good Evening [19:10] so sudo mount -t smbfs //server/20gb%20external/Music -o username,password [19:10] ndf, the "why" has been answered elsewhere. IIRC this IRC channel is for specific support. [19:10] ndf: yes...sudo is root - so whats the problem ? [19:11] hey guys, I need some help.... [19:11] ndf: I like sudo -s, it keeps your home directory as /home/user rather than /root [19:11] ikonia: there is no problem [19:11] ndf: great [19:11] i'm just wanting to understand that's all [19:12] !wiki xfce [19:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about wiki xfce [19:12] why is everyone kicking up sucha fuss anyway? i'm only trying to learn [19:12] root yes. if it all mounts up we will modify fstab and add line there. they you can simply try mount /media/external or umount /media/extrenal anythime you want to connect or disconnect [19:12] I reamember a program in ubntu that qouted some known guy or said something funny like in the terminal... someone who knows what program I'm talking about? really.. can't reamember... :/ [19:12] !info xfce4 [19:12] !wiki xubuntu [19:12] xfce4 (source: xfce4): Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.4.2 (hardy), package size 5 kB, installed size 48 kB [19:12] ndf, in the near-ish future sudo/su/rootlogins won't even be needed at all anymore. Using dbus/policykit, applications are securely split into a deamon running as root and a frontend running as a regular user [19:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about wiki xubuntu [19:12] Gammi: `fortune` ? [19:12] yeah.. thx man!!! [19:12] ndf, yeah, I don't understand why people are making such a fuss either. They probably don't understand :) [19:13] Anyone at all? Really? [19:13] wow that sounds intersting [19:13] *interesting [19:13] andresj Thx man!!! [19:13] ndf, learning is good. Go do some web searching on your question. You will likely find an answer. [19:14] ndf, you can already see it in ubuntu 8.04 and later, several dialogs have an 'unlock' button that iirc uses this mechanism of elevating privileges [19:14] doesnt mount though [19:14] and it opens in winamp on an xp lappy [19:14] saveas, I don't like that idea. I like user land in a seperate ring altogether [19:14] Jampiter: Please repeat your question, all i see you saying for the past 1- min is "anyone" :) [19:14] Seveas: isn't that just gksudo? [19:14] 10* [19:14] what did mount say? [19:14] Azazel-A2, it is in a separate land, even more separate than now: using (gk)sudo, gui things are run as root. With the new mechanisms not [19:15] hallo [19:15] try mount w/o name and password then [19:15] ndf, no, those are different. The update manager still uses gksudo for instance [19:15] mount -t smbfs //server_etc /media/external [19:15] GDM is at a different resolution to all my dektop environments. It is trying to be 1280x800 on a 1024x768 screen, while verything else is 1024x768. Any help? [19:16] http://pastebin.com/m68035569 [19:16] oh. i thought the unlock button was just gksudo for certain functions of the program, not the entire gui [19:16] hello all [19:16] hello [19:17] is there a gui command for r00t to use to mount a smb share? [19:17] hey [19:17] any one could help me I'm looking for a visual keyboard [19:17] thanks i'll look more into that now that i know a little about this [19:17] I can't install setserial, help?: http://pastebin.com/d6e547e7f [19:17] i need help with getting a new laptop [19:17] im thinking about getting a laptop from dell [19:17] I have a php script where I run from command - ex: "php run.php arg1 &" it goes into the backround and runs perfectly, i run the same code on another server, and it just exists the backround. Anyone have an idea what this would be? [19:17] Seveas: you from the uk? [19:17] ndf, no [19:17] but i was wondering if i should get one that has ubuntu preinstalled and has parts fit for linux [19:17] oh right [19:18] Nutzebahn, interesting... [19:18] where you from? [19:18] Whats the kernel boot param to bypass the machine check exception? [19:18] Nutzebahn, try this: sudo dpkg --configure -A [19:18] r00t, well samba is fixed. you just need to mount the drive. if you add it to the /etc/fstab file it can be set to mount at boot if you want [19:18] nuro, why not? [19:18] ndf, holland [19:18] chubs_ [19:18] cool, your english is real good [19:18] there are two laptops i want to get [19:18] one has vista [19:18] wathek: why not try googling "on screen keyboard"? [19:18] nuro, I guess most people would recommend a Ubuntu computer above anything else :) [19:19] and one is the ubuntu installed one with linux friendly parts [19:19] nuro: This conversation would be better off in #ubuntu-offtopic [19:19] ... [19:19] ndf, it better be, I speak more english than dutch on a daily basis at work ;) [19:19] wathek: and add ubuntu to the search terms [19:19] doh ok [19:19] ill go there [19:19] Seveas: oh right, cool. [19:19] that explains it [19:19] hehe [19:19] keepsake, ok [19:19] mount error: could not find target server. TCP name server/20gb%20external not found [19:20] what is the name of the server? === duncan-nz is now known as duncan_lurk [19:20] server [19:20] Seveas: http://pastebin.com/d3bed7966 [19:20] Nutzebahn, apologies, I meant: sudo dpkg --configure -a [19:20] oh try this, sorry mount -t smbfs //server/share_on_server /media/external [19:21] you can't mount jsut the server, you have to mount the shared folder to the directory [19:21] my bad [19:21] r00t_, is the share really called 20gb%20external? [19:22] yes [19:22] r00t_, nor '20gb external'? [19:22] Hey, I've been trying to install Skype on a Thinkpad x61 tablet, ubuntu 8.04. However when running the package installer it says: Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'. What could this be? This is an intel computer, and the package name is: skype-debian_2.2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb [19:22] with space [19:22] Seveas: isn't "%20" just a space [19:22] r00t_, don't urlencode the space, quote it [19:22] mount .... '//server/path with spaces' ... [19:23] saveas: he might have to try mount putting it in quotes [19:23] keepsake, only in url's [19:23] jlaeret: you are most liekly running 64bit version of ubuntu? [19:23] jlaeret, are you running 64bit ubuntu? [19:23] mount does not use url's [19:23] Seveas: yeah, okay [19:23] no, I'm running the regular 32 bit === duncan_lurk is now known as duncan-nz [19:23] Or like this //server/path\ with \ spaces -- no? [19:23] why does (k)ubuntu show my devices all screwy with lspci? [19:23] what does this mean [19:23] jlaeret: isn't that package for debian and no tubuntu? [19:24] ./hello.cpp: Permission denied [19:24] not ubuntu* [19:24] how about i just rename the share? [19:24] jlaeret, that doesn't make too much sense, the package may be malformed [19:24] not a bad idea lol [19:24] perlsyntax__, that you try to execute sourcecode instead of a compiled program [19:24] name it media or something [19:24] they should be Device ID = abcd:ef12 format but I'm getting a deviceID = 03:00.1 format [19:24] hello Ubuntu people. [19:24] ? [19:24] then mount -t smbfs //server/media /media/external [19:24] hi [19:24] perlsyntax__, please find a programming book. This channel is for general ubuntu help, not programming tutorials :) [19:24] How do I convert a DVD I have as an ISO file to an MPEG or OGG file? [19:24] keepsake and chubs: I downloaded it straight from www.skype.com they have a section called Ubuntu, that's where I got the package from. It's a bit strange. [19:24] so I made a test php script test.php - $x=1; while ($x < 10) {sleep(2); $x++;} - when I run it from command line it works fine, but if I run it and try and put it in backround with & it just doesn't run. and the jobs shows as "stopped" [19:25] hey anyone here have experience with glipper? [19:25] i don't think i come back to this lame room again rude perople!! [19:25] jlaeret: uname -m [19:25] how do I find out what the other ID for my devices are?? [19:25] hello... am having difficulty getting backuppc to work with apache2 ... has something changed with respect to cgi or suid in Hardy? [19:25] I just installed glipper through synaptic but when I right-click on the panel and choose "Add to panel" it's nowhere in the list [19:25] MrKennie: what do you mean? [19:25] perlsyntax_ could it beyou need to change the permissions on the file? [19:25] jlaeret: "uname -m" in console [19:25] duncan-nz you need to mount the iso image [19:25] Hi all [19:25] mikeb55: I think thats because php needs the terminal to echo to. Something like that [19:25] so I made a test php script test.php - $x=1; while ($x < 10) {sleep(2); $x++;} - when I run it from command line it works fine, but if I run it and try and put it in backround with & it just doesn't run. and the jobs shows as "stopped" Anyone have an idea? [19:25] ah, thanks, I'll try [19:25] some people don't seem to understand that the help here is 100% voluntary... and meant for ubuntu support not whatever they feel :\ [19:26] jlaeret: type that in a terminal and it will tell you which architecture you are running on [19:26] Azazel-A2, that parts easy enough. [19:26] !repeat | mikeb55 [19:26] mikeb55: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [19:26] danand: ahh? [19:26] jlaeret, and paste the output [19:26] ay [19:26] and 60% of the help in here is offered by other people comign in here to look for solutions to other problems ;) [19:26] anyone? [19:26] then there is some utilities, I don't have time now, but they are there in apt or synaptic to do jsut that [19:26] x86_64 [19:26] jlaeret: you're running 64bit [19:26] it's not like Ubuntu costs $300 for a license, so it's not like the Ubuntu team can afford to hire staff to just sit around in IRC chans offering free support ;) [19:26] does that mean I've got a 64 bit installation? I know for a fact my computer is 32 bit... [19:26] jlaeret: i386 is for 32 bit and won't work [19:27] After using nano with sudo, It can't read .nano_history if I use nano as a regular user, is this normal ? [19:27] jlaeret, that's 64bit. you can force install the package as long as you have 32bit libraries installed and it'll work fine [19:27] ForgeAus, do you have any device description apps installed? [19:27] what is a good size of RAM for Ubuntu 2.6? [19:27] r00t, need to go soon. that should work. remember if you have a username and password, then add -o username=...,password=... to end of mount line [19:27] fo_x86: ubuntu 2.6? [19:27] jlaeret: what are you trying to do? [19:27] fo_x86: 512MB, though you can squeeze it into 320MB [19:27] jlaeret: there is a way but I had some bother becase 8.04 removed some ai32 libs for some reason. [19:27] mount error: could not find target server. TCP name server/media not found [19:27] I've always found the support on the web (through forums, blogs, etc) far surpasses the support on the web for Windows based systems. [19:27] jlaeret, your computer must be 64bit compatible ;) you wouldn't have been able to install it [19:27] fo_x86, ignoring the fact that there's no ubuntu 2.6, you'll need at least 512 MB but the more the better of course ;) [19:27] keepsake, I meant the latest version of Ubuntu [19:27] PaMaNta: I'm trying to install skype on ubuntu 8.04 [19:28] fo_x86: 640K should be enough [19:28] ah [19:28] l337ingDisorder: that's why nerds like us sit here to offer what we can to keep people using such a great os :) [19:28] mh [19:28] fo_x86: in terms of ram, 512 will work for ubuntu === izibi_ is now known as izibi [19:28] Cosmo-san: 1bit is plenty [19:28] fo_x86, 512 is more than needed. [19:28] ah, ok. go to server, get ip address, then try mount -t auto //192.168.xxxx.xxx/mdeia /media/external [19:28] fo_x86: recommended minimum says 384 [19:28] chubs: well, that's a positive surprise I guess! Haha. Do you know how I try and force the installation? [19:28] fo_x86, how much do you have? [19:28] maybe the name lookup isn't working [19:28] I'm trying to use virtualbox inside XP to get ubuntu and its prompting me for a RAM size (I have 3 GB of RAM) [19:28] fo_x86: oh, use 1gb [19:29] keepsake, where did you find that number? [19:29] give it at least 512MB then, 1GB will be plenty [19:29] jlaeret, forgot the command, give me a minute [19:29] ok guys, this RAID card only seems to have Red Hat and Suse drivers for Linux, can I use either of them for Ubuntu? [19:29] replace xxx.xxx with actual address [19:29] duncan-nz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [19:29] thanks!

[21:34] Razerblader: oh, then you have a problem with your system.. probably one of your hard drives isn't getting fscked correctly or there's a bad sector [21:34] Gnea, I see [21:35] helppp [21:35] cheeky: iptables can be a rat's nest of things [21:35] Gnea, It only happens when i choose ubuntu through Vista loader [21:35] Razerblader: you should read your dmesg scrollback and see if it says anything out of the ordinary [21:35] Razerblader: wubi? [21:35] mmainguy: well i need to secure ..or sort for my box..and was thinking i need to isntall iptables [21:35] Gnea, what? [21:35] i mean confugure ip tables [21:35] Razerblader: how did you install ubuntu? [21:35] what should be in /etc/passwd.adjunkt and /etc/passwd.adjunkt.byname [21:36] Gnea, partition [21:36] Razerblader-> i dont think even vista is aware of any other loaders, only its own [21:36] cheeky: are you directly on the internet? [21:36] hi. is there any chance that texlive 2008 will make it to intrepid now? [21:36] Are there any -good- photomanagmentsoftware for Ubuntu? [21:36] Razerblader: ok - from what source? burnt cd or..? [21:36] im gettin mad this is just so complicated to play one game :-( [21:36] i hate bin a noob [21:36] bein* [21:36] being* [21:36] Gnea, Cd yeah [21:36] :) [21:36] cherico: what's the prob again? [21:37] cherico:do you dual boot? [21:37] mmainguy: his nvidia is giving him a black screen at bootup, he needs a walk-through to find out what card and drivers he's using [21:37] Gnea, but on start up I see 4 choices ubuntu regular, ubuntu recovery and vista regular etc === purp is now known as purpzey [21:37] cherico: I know the feeling, but trust me, it's better that 10 years ago. [21:37] Question: I have 90% of my hard drive set to a /home partition. Is there a way i can split that partition without losing data? [21:37] Razerblader: okay - have you tried the recovery option? [21:37] Can someone help me out, I am just trying to get something simple compiled [21:38] Gnea: nvia is black screen, ctrl_alt_1 doesn't work either? [21:38] Gnea, I'm on buntu right now [21:38] mmainguy: haven't gotten that far yet [21:38] Razerblader: so what's the problem? [21:38] purpzey: what is it ? [21:38] im trying to play regnum [21:38] Kxx: musictracker [21:38] says i might have too old graphic card [21:38] or not have directx and i activate my card and i get black screen when i restart then i have to recover and fix the x w.e and it works but then regnum still doesnt work :( [21:38] Hey, i'm looking for some system debugger in terminal/for desktop.. [21:38] I'm not talking like, htop, [21:38] Gnea, I'm trying to say that choosing vista loader first, then choosing ubuntu after that from vista's boot up options get's me Busybox [21:39] purpzey: you must be easing getting a deb for latest version 0.4.8 [21:39] I mean something which shows activity down to read/write and where it's reading and writing [21:39] Question: Using GParted via the live cd, i'll be able to split my /home partition correct? I need to make 30gigs of my /home partition a windows install. That is possible correct? [21:39] Pretty much a system debug in the backgruond [21:39] Razerblader: well Vista's bootloader blows monkey goats, that much has been known for quite awhile. Don't use it. :) [21:39] Hi, I'm using the Livesystem of the latest Ubuntu version and need to access a encrypted USB HD, so I installed dmcrypt, but I get the error wrong password when trying to mount the partition. I had this once and know it worked after a restart, but that's not possible this time as I am using a Livesystem. Any ideas? [21:39] Kxx: I didn't realize there was a deb. I will definitely do that. [21:39] purpzey: http://www.getdeb.net/download/3187/0 [21:39] Gnea, it was working fine the other day [21:40] -.- [21:40] Like starting a special service? [21:40] Actually, I like Vista's boot loader - Gnea [21:40] Razerblader: weird... well using Vista to start ubuntu is just a bad idea all-around [21:40] Gnea, haha ok [21:40] hello I want to ask: Is there an Ubuntu Live CD HARDY HERON with the new Kernel 2.6.2? [21:40] True, Windows will get jealous :) [21:40] I've mostcertainly found Grub to be a much better boot loader than any of the windows offerings i've seen so far, espically when dealing with multiple types of OS's [21:41] hello I want to ask: Is there an Ubuntu Live CD HARDY HERON with the new Kernel 2.6.27 [21:41] Razerblader: unless you installed wubi, it would use boot.ini, otherwise it's best to just stick with grub :) [21:41] Hey, I have two sound cards and I want them both to be enabled. However, I always want the default to be one of them. Right now, half the time the default is chosen as the one I don't want.... is there a way to set it so that the one I want is always selected?

(Don't hurt me!) .... I like Ubuntu more, though. [21:42] how do I compress music that's in a folder? [21:43] audio extractor doesn't work like that [21:44] Razerblader: compress music = lame ? [21:44] Lol [21:44] Kxx: I am sorry to be a bother with such a small problem...I configured it...My status hasn't changed. [21:44] rohezal: I don't think so, the newest in hardy seems to be 2.6.24-19 [21:44] Kxx, do you mean lame mp3? or you just saying it sucks? [21:45] I think they're saying it sucks... [21:45] is this the 8.041 Version? [21:45] Razerblader: lame encoder :) [21:45] or is this kernel newer? [21:45] Oh.

[21:48] Kxx: My status still isn't changing, I hate to bug you for such a small problem, but am I missing something? [21:48] So does anyone have any ideas on how to debug activity in terminal/some application [21:49] purpzey: which player are you using ? === kc8pxy_ is now known as kc8pxy [21:49] Kxx: Amarok [21:49] I want to monitor reads/writes (Showing the directories) in terminal [21:49] Could anyone help me install latest ALSA driver?

But i guess its so new it hasnt been wrote code for that yet [21:49] rohezal: sorry, what about a) waiting b) trying the alpha anyway and replacing it in October? [21:50] purpzey: try configuring music-tracker from auto-detect to amarok ?

[21:52] Kxx: Thanks for your help. [21:52] Yo. [21:52] tmroly: install kubuntu? :)) [21:52] !purekde | tmroly [21:52] tmroly: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [21:52] Razerblader: I like soundKonverter better as it lets you enter command line options as advanced options, for some reason i like lame :P [21:52] hey [21:52] guntbert: its the pc for my little cousing (10 years old). he wants it fast (hes calling me every evening) and i dont think its good, if his first view on linux is an alpha version [21:53] purpzey: did it work ? [21:53] ty [21:53] Kxx: It works now, yes...Thanks. [21:53] tmroly: Just get rid of the end of that command (install kubuntu-desktop) since that'll give you 3.5 [21:53] So, I've been using Hardy and have had nothing but problems when trying to playing online media (except YouTube, oddly enough) and now my audio stopped working; I've tried the advice listed on several threads, etc., but it has been to no avail.... If I uninstall Hardy and install Gutsy, will I then be able to play online media without complicatons? [21:53] guntbert: is there realy no way to put the new kernel on a hardy live cd? [21:53] Kxx, it's taking it's sweet time though [21:53] Razerblader: using lame ? [21:54] i'm having troubles setting up a shared printer on my ubuntu desktop. The printer is set up to the ubuntu machine, but I want to be able to print from my mac laptop, and, having never set shared printers before, I am experiencing some difficulties. Is there anyone here who could give me a quick walkthrough on what I need to do on both sides? [21:54] Kxx, using Sound Converter [21:54] is sql and mysql the same? [21:54] Im running knoppix [21:54] Has anyone had problems playing flash or other online vids with Kubuntu? [21:54] rohezal: I see, but I got no solution, and I wouldn't expect a new version of a live CD now anyway ... [21:55] So no one knows how to put launchers into the GNOME Wine sub-menu without Alacarte? [21:55] anybody know how to turn off debug logging in beagle? [21:55] thedarkone: no.... mysql just implements most of the sql standard.... [21:55] I havent Dro [21:55] Seveas: You still here? [21:55] Me again, same question: can anyone tell me how to get the nvidia binary driver back after I removed it? Tried envy, doesn't work. The hardware drivers manager shows nothing. [21:55] rohezal: 8.04.2 will have a new kernel (comes out in January). But Hardy will never have .27 [21:55] Bionic_Apple: just alter the menu [21:55] what do i need to install to get sql server? [21:55] guntbert: i read there is a construktion kit for custimize live cds. is it hard to do? [21:55] thedarkone: sql is a quy language and mysql is a database system [21:55] Okay, cause my Hardy Heron has had nothing but issues... [21:56] Bionic_Apple: System -> Preferences -> Main Menu [21:56] I think I'm just gonna dump and reinstall.. [21:56] Flannel : nothing on that page works for me [21:56] thedarkone: what sql server? postgress, mysql? [21:56] thedarkone: I'd imagine wine, I doubt Microsoft made a linux version === dmsuperman_ is now known as dmsuperman [21:56] Will it not install the flash? [21:56] chombee: what do you mean by "removed binary nvidia driver" [21:56] Or is it just not running them? [21:56] dmsuperman_, that's Alacarte [21:56] rohezal: I don't know, I need my NB to do work :) [21:56] thedarkone: be more specific... [21:56] Is there a particular channel for amd64 issues? [21:56] hi everyone, I'm having some boot troubles... [21:56] Nope, and now it quit playing all audio. I've tried the fixes on several threads, but it's been to no avail [21:56] Bionic_Apple: ah [21:56] is there anyone who knows about this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#After%20Installing [21:56] how do i remove all ubuntu/gnome/gtk stuff from my pc and stay with a pure kde system ? [21:56] tmroly: Eh? Do the "remove gnome" thing, and that'll get rid of gnome. Just be sure to remove the && apt-get install kubuntu-desktop at the end [21:56] Hrmm [21:56] Bionic_Apple: Why not use it? [21:56] mmainguy Well, in the hardware drivers manager, you can disable the driver, which I did, and it uninstalled it, now its gone completely [21:56] i see i am tring to make a database server like ms access [21:57] how can I find out the install date of ubuntu? [21:57] Hello. Is there a way to specify a preseed.cfg file on a USB key when installing from a CD-ROM? I don't think the USB key is being mounted so the installer can't find the preseed file. [21:57] whatz best way to go about it [21:57] guntbert: thank you for your help and your time. Bye :) [21:57] Flannel : ran that, said removing ubuntu-desktop will free like 52kb of space on drive, and then nothing really got removed [21:57] thedarkone: ms acces is no db server.... you might try sqllite then [21:57] I installed Ubuntu over Vista,(I had XP and Vista) which used BCD, I tried to GRUB over it, now I can't get to either! [21:57] chombee: you can't go into restricted drivers and reenable? [21:57] hi, I've two modem router connected to the same PC(I'm checking that one connected over USB). I would like to see the router page (192.168.1.1) by browser. Does somebody know how can I send my request over usb instead ethernet? Thx [21:57] tmroly: What command did you actually do? [21:57] rohezal: good luck :) [21:58] Flannel : apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop / aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop [21:58] dmsuperman: I am making a tutorial for mainstream GNOME. So, I am trying to avoid specific programs to get the job done. So far, I don't know how to put launchers in the Wine sub-menu. I know how to do the other menus though. Just not Wine... [21:58] thedarkone: for waht purpose you need that? [21:58] tmroly: That's not what that page says to do. [21:58] tmroly: It's unlikely that you'll be able to remove all Gnome/GTK stuff and have a "pure" KDE desktop. Firefox, for example, has dependencies on GTK, I think. [21:58] mmainguy You mean System->Administration->Hardaware Drivers? No, its empty now [21:58] tmroly: Go here: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde and copy/paste the KDE4 version of the command (second box) [21:58] how can I find out the install date of ubuntu?

[22:13] Jeffery1 what sorts of features are you needing? [22:13] jrib: checking right now [22:13] <^Phantom^> in other words, ubuntu will not start because of something bad going on with the display <_< [22:14] nach, because something went wrong in the previous builds. [22:14] Kasper84 : I don't use wireless on my ubuntu server... if you don't want to wait awhile until someone who does comes online, perhaps you should ask your grandsone to help fix this problem... [22:14] jrib: oh wow i think that was my prob i dint have the dev files thanks man i tend to over look stuff.. [22:14] tried [22:14] nach, typically because it was compiled with a flag missing or added, or compiled with the wrong version of something. Not always the packagers fault though. An upstream change can mean they have to repackage it. [22:14] starn: no problem [22:15] <^Phantom^> I can post a screenshot of the error on my photobucket, if it would help. [22:15] its a laptop, i don't know if it is a server [22:15] <^Phantom^> There are all sorts of weird symbols around the message ... [22:15] Kasper84, what exactly is the problem? [22:16] I can't get my wireless to work on my laptop [22:16] i was told to use this command [22:16] lshw -C Network [22:16] okapi14, how do you know if it is turned on? Can it be turned off with a button or switch? [22:16] is there an OSD for Rhythmbox? [22:16] Kasper84: perhaps someone in channel #wireless can help [22:16] ah thank you legend [22:16] Kasper84, , how do you know if it is turned on? Can it be turned off with a button or switch? [22:16] well the blue light is on [22:17] that shows its on [22:17] Kasper84, is that an HP you have? [22:17] Sounds like one. [22:17] but it says DISABLED on the lshw -C network thing [22:17] yes [22:17] presario R3000 [22:17] Kasper84, please wait. [22:17] well its a compaq but i was told by my grandson it's an HP also and a presario [22:18] Kasper84, a presario is a compaq not an HP. Does it say Compaq or HP on the machine? [22:18] well the one below the screen says compaq [22:18] Kasper84, OK, I know what he means. HP bought Compaq. [22:18] but then next to the power button it says presario [22:18] Kasper84, please wait. [22:18] hello [22:19] The installer doesnt detect my SATA hardrive any reason why that would happen?

[22:20] Hi, how do I switch on the desktop cube in Ubuntu's preinstalled compiz effects? [22:20] yes that is what he used [22:20] Kasper84: dosent matter much to your problem but Compaq-Presario is like Dodge-Ram, Manufactuer - Model :) HP would be like HP-Pavillion [22:20] Kasper84, please start anything you write to me with my nickname. Otherwise I might not see it. [22:20] The UBUNTU 8.04.1 installer doesnt detect my SATA hardrive any reason why that would happen? [22:21] Kasper84, usually the software you're using will do that if you type the first few letters and then hit TAB. [22:21] DefunctProcess: is it weird in some way? external drive etc? [22:21] <^Phantom^> it flickers when attempting to start up ubuntu [22:21] duncan-nz oh ok [22:21] <^Phantom^> then goes to that message [22:21] Kasper84, thanks. [22:21] Flannel : kopete and knetworkmanager are gone from my pc.. how do i reinstall them [22:21] DefunctProcess: or just a regular sata drive connected to a normal sata connector on your motherboard? [22:21] Anyone? [22:22] <^Phantom^> I can hook you up to a live view of what it looks like [22:22] does anyone know if Rhythmbox has an OSD? [22:22] where is the hosts file? [22:22] skylar: in /etc/hosts afaik [22:22] Kasper84, what do you get when you go into 'System > Administration > NDIS Wrapper'? It might be slightly different from that. I don't have NDIS wrapper on this machine. [22:22] macd0na7d [22:22] duncan-nz let me check [22:22] jrib: I actually think you might have given me the goods! It's going to take a little bit to read this but that is the Linux way :) [22:23] Kasper84, just so you know anything starting with my name turns up red on my screen, that's why it's much easier for me.

[22:26] heeeeelp! [22:26] Kasper84, OK. It's saying that you have the hardware which matches the windows driver you've told it to use. Does that make sense to you? [22:26] how do i move icons on the kde panel in kde 4 [22:26] <^Phantom^> http://www.justin.tv/phantom_link [22:26] and how do i fix my resolution refresh rate [22:26] and how do i install missing kopete [22:26] how do I get MOTU to package a certain application?

[22:28] <^Phantom^> it loads like normal then does that <_< [22:28] at that listing it shows my wireless network as DISABLED [22:28] Hello I have 8.04 (upgraded from 7 and still had same problem). I'm running on a dell XPS laptop and while the sound works it's as if there is two different sound generators. If I turn the sound down in the software, there is still sound but not very clear but still pretty loud. As I turn the sound up it starts to get clearer. Any idea what is causing this? [22:28] duncan-nz oops forgot to put yourname in [22:28] Kasper84, I see. (Thinking pause) [22:28] RandyboY: follow post # 2 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=871790 [22:29] ... and now it's sort of strobing in and out of grey. OS = Ubuntu 7.10 on x86, App that turned grey is Firefox 2.0 [22:29] flats do you have multiple sound cards installed and being used? [22:29] flats: nope.. but on my upgrade the sound was somewhat borked like yours.. still haven't fixed it. However I did do a fresh install on another partition and all went well.. works.. now I just have to move /home [22:29] how doi know which tor package i need to install on my system as it tallks about adding repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list file: [22:29] ubuntu is so great! [22:29] no just whatever it found on install [22:30] <^Phantom^> is that normal? http://www.justin.tv/phantom_link [22:30] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-envy-2.6.24/+bug/264772 [22:30] Launchpad bug 264772 in linux-restricted-modules-envy-2.6.24 "('\nEnvyNG ERROR: The following packages cannot be installed:',)" [Undecided,New] [22:30] I've tried both OSS and alsa but same with either [22:30] anyone know how to work around the above bug? [22:31] flats i had some problems with sound as well, it turned out ubuntu had a problem with my onboard sound card. I had to disable it in bios to get it to work right... [22:31] ahh disable in bios? I can do that [22:31] duncan-nz is there something i type into the terminal to enable the wireless? [22:31] Kasper84, could you enter into a terminal: modprobe ndiswrapper [22:32] J-n: you had to disable in bios and then it worked..? I thought if it was disabled there it wouldn't work. [22:32] <^Phantom^> is that something serious? (it is being broadcast live on http://www.justin.tv/phantom_link ) [22:32] duncan-nz yes one moment, doing it now [22:32] flats may be the problem only if you've got 2 soundcards, try tisable the onboard one [22:32] Scunizi i had to disable my onboard card to get my soundblaster card to work properly [22:32] duncan-nz should i get out of root terminal? [22:32] J-n: ah.. cause you had two.. now I understand. [22:32] <^Phantom^> i think i really messed up my ubuntu.... [22:32] duncan-nz in root terminal it didn't do anything [22:33] Scunizi lol sorry about the confusion [22:33] Kasper84, I can say that there are known issues getting this particular wireless device from Broadcom to work in Ubuntu. I'm just reading up on some of the solutions offered. === Rabbitbu1ny is now known as Rabbitbunny [22:33] Kasper84, generally avoid the root terminal unless someone you trust tells you to use it. [22:33] Scunizi hopefully flats caught that before he left O.o [22:34] Kasper84, in this case it wouldn't have made any difference. [22:34] Slart, no its internal regular old sata2 drive [22:34] duncan-nz: generally avoid doing *anything* unless someone you trust tells you to do it [22:34] Slart, i thought it was a BIOS issue being set to RAID or something but its not [22:34] J-n: :) weird that mine screw up the sound when doing the upgrade but configures correctly on a fresh install. [22:34] duncan-nz well if you know where to find a page that deals with this particular issue, you can just link it if you want. I'm no slouch I just couldn't find a page that did [22:34] Belboz99: That pckage conflicts with these fglrx-driver nvidia-glx xfree86-driver-fglrx xorg-driver-fglrx, do you have any of these installed as well ? [22:34] duncan-nz i hate to bother you is the thing [22:35] how can i view my other partition on my hard drive? [22:35] scunizi maybe it's a problem with the upgrade then? - Cause it does seem to work either way with hardy as a full install. But not with wine for some strange reason- lol - so i keep it disabled, don't need the cruddy onboard card anyway lol [22:36] i appear to be having issues with emulators... is there just one emulator that can emulate most of the retro consoles that works in ubuntu hardy? [22:36] hola :) [22:36] brolly81: sudo fdisk -l [22:36] starn which consoles spesifically are you looking to emulate? [22:36] Kasper84, If I get bored of trying to help you'll know. I'll just stop writing. But by all means have a look on the net. Now we have the information we need. The device giving you trouble is the bcmwl5, so I've just been searching for ubuntu related information on that. I've found something promising here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=285809 [22:36] J-n: definitely an issue with the upgrade.. mine is "onboard" on an Asus board. [22:37] <^Phantom^> i guess i am going to have to reinstall linux :( [22:37] starn: Xmame runs perfectly.. not sure if that's what you're looking for though [22:37] i to be able to view and save file to it from places>system [22:37] j-n snes nes sega [all the way to cd] neo geo pc engine gb/a atari.

I'll look too and maybe a few heads will work better than mine [22:38] how do you find your ip address in a lan? [22:38] thank you too kegen2440, i appreciate all the help [22:38] J-n: and hydroponic: i am lazy and i like to use GUI's to get my games runing.... [22:38] Kasper84, but some of that information is out of date and would give you problems. So finding a solution is not always straight forward. [22:38] how do i upgrade windows me hewlett packard pavilion with a intel celeron processor???????????????????????????? [22:38] starn: Xmame has plenty of GUIs [22:38] dekushrub, i think that's ifconfig from terminal [22:38] Yongin, do you know what Ubuntu is? [22:39] yes [22:39] dekushrub: your router might tell you or you could right mouse click the network icon by the clock and choose properties.. It'll be in there. [22:39] duncan-nz the information in his link or yours? [22:39] Yongin, so why are you asking how to upgrade a windows me machine? [22:39] it is an opperating system [22:39] Kasper84, in his post [22:39] hydroponic: well um i have it installed so how do i use? for its not in applications> just type xmame in command line? [22:39] yongin:windows me? [22:39] dekushrub: what DFlame said too.. probably faster his way. [22:39] He has a few things there which are done automatically in current versions of ubuntu. [22:39] Yongin: Just pop in the Ubuntu CD, and install. [22:39] well i want to replace me with ubuntu [22:40] Yongin: it doesn't matter what OS was on it. [22:40] ok help me please [22:40] hello all [22:40] yongin be careful if you use wireless hahaha [22:40] quick question [22:40] Flannel, why didn't I think of that answer! [22:40] Yongin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation has four steps at the top of the page, that's how you install. [22:40] cherico: help with what [22:40] when i enable my nvidia it says i need to restart and then when i reboot ubuntu the screen is just black at login [22:40] starn: I dunno. You'd need to download a GUI I guess. I used it for an arcade machine I built. That was on Slackware though, w/ a custom GUI.. so I'm not really sure [22:40] hardy harron wont work [22:40] Starn i think you'll want to grab a frontend for it [22:40] starn: http://www.parallelrealities.co.uk/xmamegui.php#Screenshots [22:40] !ask | sivel [22:40] sivel: 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. :-) [22:40] Kasper84, it's a fair point. I spent ages researching before I bought this laptop to make sure it would work wireless. [22:41] Starn you can get one from here http://x.mame.net/frontends.html [22:41] does anyone know if Rhythmbox has an OSD?

[22:42] duncan-nz ok trying [22:42] noooo [22:42] starn: I don't know. I didn't read your original question(s). I just glanced at IRC and pitched Xmame. It's an arcade emulator. [22:42] but its linux compatible [22:42] WIne or native? [22:42] ke [22:42] !wireless | paolo_ [22:42] how do access my other partitions from places>system so i am able to save files to it [22:42] paolo_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:42] starn Yes, mame and mess will support all of those. [22:42] heres a better question: how can i be sure the webcam is in fact on /dev/video0 [22:42] duncan-nz ok it came up alot of stuff, let me read real fast [22:42] starn: But who needs Sega CD when you can play Metal Slug and Marvel vs Capcom all day? [22:42] hydroponic: heh i do know it should support at least one.... [22:42] brolly81: do you see your partitions in Places -> Removable devices ? [22:42] Kasper84, you should get a section for each piece of network aware hardwre you have. typically with names like ethO, wlan0 [22:42] starn and much much much much more [22:42] no [22:43] hydroponic: for i use the REAL cd's... [22:43] chierco: Wine or native? [22:43] ah [22:43] native i think i just did it but it says i might need to update my graphic driver or i dont have directx [22:43] Kasper84, we're interested in anything starting with wlan (wireless local area network) [22:43] cheirco: do that then [22:43] jrib: The tutorial/info at freedesktop.org pertains to KDE and XFCE, too right? [22:43] uh im a noob so i dont know how [22:43] duncan-nz well thats true, i have vnet0 lo and eth0 though [22:43] chierco: directx maybe you mean opengl? [22:43] Kasper84, we're not interested in the others. [22:44] it said directx lol [22:44] duncan-nz i don't seem to have wlan... [22:44] kxx no i dont see it [22:44] Kasper84, do you have anything starting with wlan? [22:44] Kasper84, OK' [22:44] but i know regnum can use opengl too [22:44] Bionic_Apple: well they are specifications that most desktop environments try to follow. I believe that you are right that KDE and xfce both follow them [22:44] starn mess is probally the program you want mame is more for emulating arcade machines [22:44] jrib: awesome, that is all [22:44] starn but mess will most certainly get you where you want to go, i think [22:45] duncan-nz maybe I should wipe it all back out and start over from scratch? maybe he did something only halfway installing? [22:45] brolly81: are these windows drives, fat32 / ntfs ? if yes, see if they are mounted yet by running a command like, "sudo mount" in a terminal [22:45] I'm having problems - any of the apps that have an unlock button are claiming my password is wrong [22:45] J-n: ok. know where i can find mess frontend for in my quest of a none command line emu i did download it also.. i do have some arcade games on here so mame well also be needed anyways. [22:45] Casao_AAO: check your caps lock? [22:45] even though it is obviously right, since i can use it to log into my machine and use sudo and gksudo [22:45] Scunizi: the password is correct [22:45] Kasper84, I've read the advice to ban the linux driver. That sounds good but he's banning a driver which is not for exactly the same hardware and I'd have to look more to know if you're using the same one. This is because ndiswrapper doesn't play well if linux is also trying to run the wireless hardware. So lets try something else first. [22:46] brolly81: you'l get list of your partitions from a command like, sudo fdisk -l [22:46] Kasper84, Do you have the correct windows driver for that wireless card? [22:46] the dialogs w/ an Unlock button don't work - anything using gksudo works. I can log in fine and I can sudo fine [22:46] but I hit unlock and it tells me my password is wrong [22:47] duncan-nz I don't have anything but I can download them I bet off either presario or compaq website [22:47] Anyone know how to change the distribution logo by Applications? === dmsuperman_ is now known as dmsuperman [22:47] duncan-nz want me to download some new drivers?

Go ahead if you do. [22:48] Anyone know how to change the distribution logo by Applications? [22:48] brolly81: sudo fdisk -l , you missed -l [22:48] this is probably a stupid question... but do you need xorg (or any of its components if you're gonna be running in nothing but console mode? [22:48] is it possible to check with apt-get if there are any updates and what is updated or what was the reason for the update(changelog) so i can mail me every day the newest update informations for my system [22:48] No, I'm not.

Please Help.

[22:50] Starn I found this http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Emulators/MESSyFront-16693.shtml frontend for mess, but.. honestly i've not used it before, so i can't vouch for it's quality, or it being up to date or anything lol [22:50] why would people limit the acess to the "su" program by using this command "sudo chow root:admin /bin/su sudo chmod 04750 /bin/su" [22:50] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [22:50] /dev/sda1 777 1384 4883760 b W95 FAT32 [22:50] /dev/sda2 * 169 776 4883760 83 Linux [22:50] /dev/sda3 1385 1992 4883760 83 Linux [22:50] /dev/sda4 1993 2028 289170 5 Extended [22:50] /dev/sda5 1993 2028 289138+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris [22:50] You know the Ubuntu logo in the top left? [22:50] Is there anyway I can change that? [22:51] brolly81: use paste.ubuntu.com to paste multiple lines of text then report the link here. [22:51] J-n: no prob i'll check it out. so far the one i have found are dead. [22:51] maxtor211, anything _can_ be changed, if you can be bothered with all the hastle. But no, I don't know how. It's probably just a key in the gnome configuration manager. [22:51] brolly81: http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_03_02.html [22:51] duncan-nz this looks right http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-26984-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=228&product=442914 [22:51] Ok, something is distinctly wrong with this login thing because I just changed it and it still doesn't work - odd thing is that my real name (not short name) shows up with,,, at the end [22:51] Anyone know of a good app dock for ubuntu [22:51] ? [22:52] it still works for gksudo and sudo, works for login, but it's decided it's not the right password for any dialog with an Unlock button [22:52] how do i fix this [22:52] so i need something like this apt-get upgrade | mailx -s "new updates" foo@foo.de [22:52] duncan-nz I'm googling how to use .exe in ubuntu now [22:52] starn well at least that one is there - lol [22:52] I overwrote an original file via FTP, any way to retrieve the previous version via other means or tools? [22:52] Oxygenfa1: avant-window-navigator cairo-dock [22:53] starn good luck man :) Oldschool console games were awesome :D [22:53] jmk2: only with your backup [22:53] Kasper84, I'm not sure, let's try. Put the file somewhere where you'll be able to find it again later and then start that 'System > Adminsiatration > Windows Wireless drivers' app up. [22:53] Kxx, I tried that it isn't loading [22:53] J-n: i agree i would use the console it self but most mine dont work... [22:53] high [22:53] DIFH-iceroot: no backup. [22:53] Kasper84, forget that .exe issue [22:53] when is the next version of ubuntu coming out? [22:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/47004/ [22:53] starn and it seems i could play my old copy of Dungeon Master (AppleIIgs) with mess as well! maybe i will try it out lol [22:54] jmk2: :( now you have a reason for making backups [22:54] duncan-nz ok back [22:54] :*( [22:54] Kasper84, you can run an exe in ubuntu, but that won't help us with this issue. [22:54] duncan-nz ok forgetting haha [22:54] Simple question: is there a key combination that locks my session (eg: Win/Super + L for Windows)? [22:54] Ok, so no one knows why ubuntu has decided to lock me out of half of the system preferences dialogs? awesome. [22:54] starn kinda tough to keep a 2600 working after 10+ years eh? [22:54] brolly81: how many drives are you able to see/not see [22:54] duncan-nz i thought maybe it would be more drivers that I mgith need in that .exe, wasn't sure. promptly forgotten [22:55] J-n: indeed some of the games still work though. i think its the games that are messed up.. [22:55] starn 20+ years* [22:55] duncan-nz ok wirelessdrivers is started up [22:55] Kasper84, I think you're right but the 'Windows. Wireless Drivers' thing should take care of that [22:55] when is the next version of ubuntu coming out? [22:55] !intrepid | Soskel [22:55] Soskel: Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October! [22:55] could any one explain me this... Limiting access to the "su" program.. then how would one installe stuff ? [22:55] cheeky: Ubuntu uses sudo, not su. [22:55] starn well i'm sure if you looked hard enough you could find most if not all of your games out there on the internets ;) [22:55] Soskel 08/10 then 09/04 then 09/10 ect [22:56] starn ya know- backup coppies [22:56] Kasper84, I can't remember exactly how it works but you need to tell it you have such-and-such a driver for it. So lead it to that .exe file and see what it does. [22:56] Is there an easy way to restart my ubuntu sys from scratch? [22:56] Without reinstalling? [22:56] J-n: lol i dint look very hard and i found em.. it is the runing them [22:56] Im looking for a good ubuntu dock === tonsofpc1 is now known as tonsofpcs [22:56] giggsey restore your backup [22:56] Kxx: i have 5 paritions four are 5 gig and one is 140 gig [22:56] lol [22:56] brolly81: as you can see there you have only one more partition that you would be able to see.. I am assuming the other two partitions are use up for / and /home [22:57] duncan-nz says its not a valid .inf file [22:57] in murrine-fancycandy, how can i disable animated progress bars? it's taking up my entire 10 mbit per second of bandwidth with X forwarding [22:57] hey guys, i have an issue, my videos just suddenly have started having a blue tint to them, especially on people, it happens in totem using xine and gstreamer, and it also happens with vlc, anyone know how to solve this issue? [22:57] duncan-nz says the .exe thing isn't a vaild .inf file is what i mean [22:57] Kasper84, Hmm, I thought it could deal with that. Well we need to find the actual driver for that thing then let's go searching, I'll race you. [22:58] how do view my other partions? so i can save to them [22:58] I'm trying to use ndiswrapper to setup my wifi (using netathrx driver), and I've done the commands it says on the wiki, but it's not appearing on ifconfig or iwlist. Any ideas? [22:58] duncan-nz deal :) [22:58] Asking again: Any dialog with an Unlock button decides my password is wrong. I'm typing it right, it works in sudo, gksudo and to log in. Using one that requires an unlock button, however, fails. The oddity i've noticed is it lists my long name with a ,,,, at the end [22:59] Casao_AAO: Listing with ,,, after is normal, at least mine does [22:59] !ntfs | brolly81 [22:59] brolly81: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [22:59] Casao_AAO: That's GECOS information [22:59] benjick: ok, that was just an odd thing i've noticed. So why would it not work when i know for a fact the password is correct and being typed correctly [23:00] Casao_AAO: What are you trying to do? [23:00] benjick: right now, i'm trying to edit my wifi settings, but ANY dialog with the "Unlock" button refuses to identify me. GKsudo/sudo both work, as does logging in [23:01] Hm, even when changing the clock? === mbrigdan is now known as mbrigdan_ === mbrigdan_ is now known as mbrigdan [23:01] If there is a package called pkg-doc, where do I find that documentation after installing it? [23:01] yes [23:01] i type my password, it shakes the dialog and clears it out [23:02] conley, try the man pages [23:02] I already had a man page [23:02] :P [23:02] hello [23:02] i need help with the screen resolution [23:02] I imagine a doc package has much much more === h is now known as Guest72476 [23:03] the screen is too big, how can i set the screen smaller? [23:03] duncan-nz It is hard to find a driver that isn't .exe right now [23:03] conley, then it'd be on a program by program basis === evildaemon is now known as EvilDaemon [23:03] Kasper84, I know, that's why i hoped ndiswrapper would do it. [23:04] Can you give me a link to that driver again, the .exe one? [23:04] duncan-nz I might be cheating at our race. I googled and something called WINE will let me use the .exe drivers:-D [23:04] Kasper84, wait! [23:04] duncan-nz ok [23:04] benjick: Any ideas? [23:05] what does this mean? "checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!" === un_corq is now known as uncorq [23:05] starn: that means you dont have development packages related to X installed [23:06] Kasper84, WINE just convinces software that's it's in a windows environment. It's still Ubuntu which does all the I/O work talking to the hardware. That's why WINE can't solve this issue. But it's a very interesting and useful project. [23:06] starn, xorg-dev or similar [23:06] Kxx: ok thankyou [23:06] Kasper84, but I'm thinking that if WINE runs that .exe file I can then try and fine where it has put the .inf file and then we have it! [23:07] duncan-nz but if the drivers are inside that .exe cant I run it, then just pick the drivers out of where it went to? grandson told me that an .exe is like a box and it has a bunch of stuff packed into it, you jsut unpacking the box when you click right? [23:07] Kasper84, you're welcome to try it if you want. It can't do any harm, [23:07] Casao_AAO: Nope, sorry :( [23:07] duncan-nz great minds think alike man [23:07] Kasper84: are you trying to use a windows driver files to run that hardware on ubuntu ? [23:07] how can i change the permissions on the /var/www folder so i can put files in it [23:08] Kxx, yes, we're trying to get the .inf file out of an .exe file so we can give it to ndiswrapper. [23:08] wizzer: sudo chown youruser:youruser /var/www [23:08] ok something is really wrong, cause i just used adduser to make a new user and tried logging in as him and it errored out too [23:08] ah [23:08] wizzer, blue112: no, don't do that. Add yourself to the www-data group. [23:08] ok thanks [23:08] wat [23:08] Uh, doesn't ndiswrapper have a util that unpacks these drivers? [23:08] duncan-nz: i see :P [23:08] duncan-nz so send it to c/home/documents and it should be in my documents right? [23:08] wizzer: if you're just copying files use the cp command with sudo.. like.. sudo cp /location/file /newlocation/file [23:09] that sounds easier [23:09] i'll use that scunizi [23:09] iam reading the doc for ubuntu iptables and they mentioned allowing established sessions .. .could some explian to me why .i have have to allow established connections .. isnt it already allowed .. [23:09] So if no one in here can help me, where else might i find someone who could help me. [23:09] Kasper84, yes, but from wine you have access to the whole system anyway. [23:09] wizzer: Flannel also had a great suggestion.. that way you can probably drag and drop [23:09] duncan-nz Bingo we have all the drivers there [23:09] Kasper84, but there is no 'C:' on Ubuntu. WINE makes a fake one, [23:10] Kasper84, so you can lead ndiswrapper to them and see what happens. [23:10] duncan-nz huzzah. all the drivers are in my documents. ok I'll try that now [23:11] Kasper84, 'huzzah' that is an old expression. [23:11] duncan-nz well I can say lol and W()()T but I don't understand why I'm supposed to say them or what they mean haha [23:11] hello, is there a way I can find out what dns server my machine is using when it gets it from DHCP? [23:11] Kasper84, lol [23:12] Kasper84, lol = laugh out loud [23:12] using hardy, and firefox 3, why wont utube videos appear in my browswer [23:12] you probably do not have Flash [23:12] installed for it [23:12] !flash-nonfree [23:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about flash-nonfree [23:12] !flash [23:12] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [23:12] Kasper84, rofl = roll on the floor laughing. Some of them are quite clever. But I can't keep up and I'm still in my 30's. [23:13] thought i did, but i will look again, do i need to install flash through synaptic or is it a firefox plugin [23:13] duncan-nz well i should say I understand that lol meant laugh out loud but I don't understand why I type that I'm laughing loudly when I mostly chuckle to myself [23:13] the only one you'll need to know is RTFM [23:13] duncan-nz and god knows what W()()T meant but I'm supposed to say that if I win a game I guess [23:13] uh, when i try to add myself to www-date it says i don't have permission [23:13] woot. upgrades are almost done. :) Also, please tell me that setting up a mobile broadband connection will become a far cry easier in the upcoming release. :) [23:13] chubs_, maybe, except no one is aloud to say that in our friendly Ubuntu world. [23:14] Kasper84: its woot. Its just fun to say WOOOOOT!!! [23:14] is there a way I can find out what dns server my machine is using when it gets it from DHCP? [23:14] how can I start emerald windowmanager? [23:14] emerald --replace doesn't work [23:14] duncan-nz, yeah it's a bit weird [23:14] Kasper84, now we've both learnt a new one. SO what's happened with that driver? [23:14] windmill: ifconfig? [23:14] chubs_, I think it's very sensible [23:15] duncan-nz, i think reading the manual is sensible too ;) [23:15] danbh_intrepid, it's not in there is it? [23:15] duncan-nz well I sintalled both drivers in the file but when I open wifiradar it still shows no networks [23:15] chubs_, sure is. [23:15] windmill: no, its not [23:15] Kasper84, what's wifirader? [23:15] windmill: dig google.com ? [23:16] duncan-nz well its this box taht opens up and i guess is supposed to show me all the wifi networks available. [23:16] duncan-nz but in any case my network manager is where im checking now [23:16] Kasper84, why are you expecting your laptop to create a wifinetwork? [23:16] Kasper84: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan also works [23:17] Kxx, ;; SERVER: 192.168.1.1#53(192.168.1.1) [23:17] duncan-nz I'm not, I'm just expecting it to find my darned wifi hub haha [23:17] Kasper84, yeah, try that [23:17] i used the link and the script that run so i can use and view my partions. is there an easier way? [23:17] whatzup everyone.. [23:17] If i remote desktop someone with Ubuntu, does htis mean i can like set things up? [23:17] windmill: ya, so that ur acting dns server [23:17] Kasper84, do you get anything when you left click on the network icon? [23:17] !blkid > brolly81 [23:17] brolly81, please see my private message [23:17] duncan-nz says interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down [23:18] Kxx, I had no idea the my router was doing that [23:18] duncan-nz in the scan command [23:18] trying to find someone who understands mime-type associations.. === ded0 is now known as dedi_away [23:18] I am trying to install a .deb package but keep being told to close the other running synaptic program ... but there is none other open ... please help [23:18] diegodiaz, there's a good explanation on wikipedia. [23:18] windmill: you can always override that however .. [23:18] zetheroo: try rebooting [23:18] apparently I created a rule that makes a rar file associate with text type files.. [23:19] for full commandline use only, xserver-xorg package is not need right? [23:19] diegodiaz, what do you want it to associate with? [23:19] windmill: yu have special provisions to do that in intrepid network manager, where yu can dhcp and still override dns [23:19] is there a way to restore the original mime-type library/database? [23:19] gaintsura: that is correct. That's pretty much the core package of all the GUI'ed desktops [23:19] gaintsura: right [23:20] diegodiaz, probably. [23:20] duncan-nz still no networks showing up, I'm going to try that command to find out if its still reading disabled [23:20] duncan-nz if i can just turn on the one he set up again it would work i think, i don't know though [23:20] cool, thanks [23:20] Kxx, does that just put the ip addresses in /etc/resolv.conf ? === gnu is now known as Guest82298 [23:20] duncan-nz the network listed as wlan0 in my lshw command still says DISABLED... [23:20] * gaintsura is diving into a full commandline env =) [23:21] gaintsura: you know, you can still play videos in the console [23:21] windmill: ya i guess, it means putting something like nameserver XX:XX:XX:XX in resolv.conf, please crosscheck it [23:21] the original file r04 is part of a rar package.. somehow all r04's in every multipart package are seen as text files.. so even if I change the application used to open it, the file wont open [23:21] r2d24u: thats not my intentions, but thats cool lol [23:22] I tried rebooting and the problem is still there [23:22] please help [23:22] diegodiaz, you could use the unrar command line tools.. if all else fails [23:22] In Synaptic I just discovered under the "Status" tab a section labeled "Not installed (residual config) ".. Can I safely mark those files for complete removal? [23:22] hey all I am having trouble getting the digital spdif coax output on my sound card to work in ubuntu hardy [23:22] Anyone help me out .please ..... I get a seg fault in apache2 when trying to parse php ... [23:22] diegodiaz: does that matter? I can unrar starting with any of the files, and Im fine [23:22] Anyone know what could be causing this ? [23:22] dr willis, how does that work? [23:22] I am trying to figure out how to stream the audio from one computer on others throughout the school? [23:22] I can't install anything because the system thinks there is another synaptic running [23:22] anyone have any ideas on how to make the digital out work [23:22] helltraum: you might ask in #ubuntu-server [23:22] Kasper84, I've just noticed I'm past my bedtime here in denmark. So I've got to run soon. [23:23] it is an NVIDIA HDA [23:23] I have a Huawei e220 in 8.04 kernel 2.6.24-19-generic. It shows up as /dev/ttyUSB0 and 1. When I try to connect, it says modem hang up. I've tried using gnome ppp, kppp, vodafones drivers and network manager 0.7 and it doesnt work. Any ideas? [23:23] sound [23:23] diegodiaz: how about checking out properties of that rar file, and reselecting ur preferred application in "open with" tab ? [23:23] guys i need help === Kabaka[A] is now known as Kabaka [23:23] im trying to install irc on my server 6.06hardy [23:23] Would like to find a video capture program similar to Windows Movie Maker in as far as features....Thanks [23:23] i used ircd-hybrid can someone give me a hand [23:24] diegodiaz, unrar -e whatever.rar [23:24] Jeffrey1: I don't think one exists [23:24] diegodiaz, or use the 'unp' command [23:24] any ideas? [23:24] i can connect locally ok on 127.0.0.1 on the in a tellnet sesion on the server it says my irc server is up okay [23:24] I am trying to figure out how to stream the audio from one computer to throughout a network. Does anybody have any ideas? [23:24] patrik, were you able to connect with that device before? [23:24] here's the issue, in case anyone else might have it.. if there is a sequential list of packages I.E. r01- r05, you can start anywhere but the packages wont unrar unless they are all there correctly labeled to be read.. [23:24] but when i try to find it www.firstavenuedesign.co.uk it says cannot conect [23:25] can someone help me [23:25] Jeffrey1: avidemux was suggested to me as a possible editor for linux, but one that is harder to learn then WMM [23:25] Xial: on a different computer or on this one? [23:25] BCM34, testing out 'orb' on a windows machine right now.. to do that basically. :) with a web interface.. You may want to check out vlc/ and its streaming features [23:25] can someone help me setup ircd please [23:25] patrik, on this computer. :) [23:25] does anyone know how I could customize the text that comes up on GRUB? I wanted to set it so it just shows Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows XP and the other options are hidden, but still be able to access them with something like F5 or whatever [23:25] Xial: no [23:25] davidguest: have you forwarded the right port for the server on your router? [23:25] is that possible [23:25] davidguest: you probably need to have your IRC ports opened/NAT(ed) on your router ? [23:25] Kasper84, I suggest you concentrate on why it says disabled. We should be past that by now. Any time you can tell people exactly what the error message is helps. You should consider adding a question to these if they don't help: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+questions?field.search_text=bcmwl5&field.sort=RELEVANCY&field.sort-empty-marker=1&field.actions.search=Search&field.language=da&field.language=en&field.language-empty-marker= [23:25] diegodiaz, from the command line i normally use 'unrar -e firstpackagefile.r01 ' [23:25] 1&field.status=OPEN&field.status=NEEDSINFO&field.status=ANSWERED&field.status=SOLVED&field.status-empty-marker=1 [23:25] patrik, I assume you were using these setup instructions? -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343989 [23:26] in what way [23:26] kinetic: yes [23:26] kinetic: i don't think it is, just my gut [23:26] i can connect to www.firstavenuedesign.co.uk [23:26] r2d23u how?

[23:26] But I get a 403 in the access log [23:26] BCM34, Theres proberly other ways.. but i havent played with them [23:26] thank you i'm going to go try that now [23:27] Jeffrey1: no idea, its installable. Frankly, I got so po'ed with webcam support on linux, that I just use windows for that [23:27] davidguest: the ircd server uses specific ports that it listens to. Your router probably blocks those ports or doesn't know where to send them.. the router has to be told to move traffic for those ports to your box. [23:27] Xial: are they for the e220? [23:27] its a server with fasthosts.co.uk [23:27] kinetic: look at the bottom of that file [23:27] Flannel, I think he's accidentally killed his network access. [23:27] patrik, it might get you on the road to connecting. I was using the instructions for a pantech px-500, but people are also using that instruction set for things like the motorola razr, and other phones that have EV-DO / HSDPA connectivity. [23:28] dr_willis: nope, wont work, i need to press play on one computer and have different computers play the sound. Thanks anyway [23:28] davidguest: they may block those ports as default.. you might try contacting them. [23:28] Flannel, I wanted him to look at launchpad questions and search for his hardware bcmwl5 [23:28] Hi. Anyone know a keyboard shortcut for jumping from gedit's file window to the bottom (Ctrl+F9) pane? [23:28] dr willis, solid ideas.. thanks.. I believe the issue deals with hash checking.. [23:28] Xial: thing is, it's succeeding to connect, but it hangs up after 2-3 seconds =/ [23:28] why after i do sudo apt-get install ircd hybrid should it jsut connect [23:28] im having issues with filezilla [23:29] r2d24u: how would I hide the option without making it go away completly? I still want to be able to boot into safemode/memtest if needed [23:29] as i say it connects fine locally [23:29] on telnet season [23:29] hi [23:29] but not from a windows machine [23:29] patrik, does it spit back an error when the connection fails? [23:29] would somoene see if they can connect to my irc [23:29] www.firstavneuedesign.co.uk is the domain [23:29] yes it does [23:29] anyone here know anything about pulse audio [23:30] Xial: i'll copy it for you [23:30] alguem fala portugues ai ?? [23:30] davidguest: port? [23:30] !pt | renato_skin [23:30] renato_skin: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português. Obrigado. [23:30] the one misassociated file causes the archive to be incomplete somehow.. I used to think that all rar's were complete reps of the original file, but sometimes they are parsed into smaller pieces.. [23:30] how do i find that out it prob be just the deafault for ircd-hybrid === meoblast is now known as meoblast001 [23:31] kinetic: isnt only the "title" line shown on boot ? [23:31] kinetic: the title line can be edited freely, its just a label [23:31] danbh_intrepid: Was using my work laptop to record a quick vid, so I feel the frustration.....I will check your suggestion, thanks [23:32] Xial: this is the weirdest thing ever... [23:32] pulse audio is telling me connection refused [23:32] Xial: it succeeded to connect [23:32] patrik, let me guess: it connected now? :) [23:32] :/ [23:32] dr wilis have you ever used the command " update-mime-databse"? [23:32] Yeah. The connections can be temperamental from time to time. :) [23:32] davidguest: I just checked, the port is blocked [23:32] Ok my friend and i both have remote desktop enabled, but how do we use it? [23:32] 8databse [23:32] how do i open it [23:32] ? [23:32] *database [23:33] its unbuntu 6.06 [23:33] !who | davidguest [23:33] davidguest: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:33] Xial: I've been doing the exact same thing couple of hundred times today ;) Anyways, it can't find the dns-server? [23:33] r2d24u: yeah, i just wanted the memtest and safe mode boot options to be hidden except when I pressed some button to toggle them off of some hide mode. Is that possible? I am planning on changing that, and adding a picture for a background, to look better [23:33] Xial: it says: warning, can't find address for `www.suse.de` [23:33] --> warning, address lookup does not work [23:33] --> Nameserver (DNS) failure, the connection may not work. [23:33] --> Connected... Press Ctrl-C to disconnect [23:34] davidguest: you sure you arent behind a NAT? [23:34] gbolte: you need to enable network access to sound devices from pulseaudio preferences .. its disabled by defaut ? [23:34] I don't know how ubuntu blocks ports, on default [23:34] or has anyone ever used the "update-mime-database" cmd or how the context in which it is used/ [23:34] ? [23:34] patrik, hmm, the computer using that card isn't already connected to another internet source, is it? [23:34] !ports [23:34] For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall [23:34] kinetic: well, maybe try a blank title ? Failing that, the grub boot options can be edited before booting by pressing e at the grub screen [23:34] Xial, like this computer being connected to my wireless? [23:35] Kxx, thanks but the pulseaudio server isnt starting [23:35] gbolte: do you have pulseaudio installed/runing on ur pulseaudio server ? [23:35] kinetic: there is no "hide/unhide" mode i have heard of [23:35] r2d24u: but is there a way to have them show if I press say F6 for instance [23:35] what is the best filesystem to use for directories with lots of small files? [23:36] r2d24u: oh thanks [23:36] gbolte: I am assuming yu have pulseaudio applet also running [23:36] Kxx, its installed but I cannot get it to start [23:36] yeah [23:36] patrik, I'm half tempted to ask you to disconnect from wireless, hang up the current mobile broadband dial-in session, and start it again, just to eliminate the wireless from the equation. :) Let me think and see if there's a better solution first, however. [23:36] hey anyone know how to mount a formated hard rive with nothing on, into linux as it's no recognising it? [23:36] Xial, I see your point. Though that means I will lose my internet connection ;) [23:37] I am trying to figure out how to stream the audio from one computer to throughout a network. Does anybody have any ideas? [23:37] milostrife: you could try "sudo mount -a [23:37] patrik, exactly. :) That's why I'm thinking to see if I have a better solution. [23:37] Kxx, this box was working great on first install but once I ran updates and rebooted it dosent play audio anymore [23:37] is that all of the commands sorry new to uduntu [23:37] :( === root is now known as Guest73444 [23:38] Xial: an ifconfig says it has an IP, that's a good thing ;) [23:38] gbolte: when i try it it starts listening on ports 16001 and 4713 [23:38] patrik, I also assume you're currently using wvdial for managing the Huawei device, correct? [23:38] milostrife: nope.. that's just a quick dirty way to mount what isn't mounted.. you could also look under Places/Computer and find the drive there then right mouse click and choose "mount" [23:38] * gbolte notes he probably should have not ran updates [23:38] Kxx, yeah but the daemon will not even start [23:38] :/ [23:38] Xial, right now i connected through gnome ppp [23:39] it cant find the drive in places computer :( [23:39] gbolte: ya i get it :\ [23:39] milostrife: is it a sata or ide.. or external usb [23:39] Xial, i tried wvdial in terminal before and it didn't work either. [23:40] ide just formated raw partition [23:40] milostrife: what type of file system is it formatted in? [23:40] how do i use remote desktop === jackzhou is now known as keepsake [23:40] I am trying to figure out how to stream the audio from one computer to throughout a network. Does anybody have any ideas? [23:40] BCM34, pulse audio [23:40] Can anyone tell me how or where I might be able to find the command to update-mime-database? [23:40] :) [23:40] hehe [23:41] milostrife: or maybe I should ask.. did you format it personally? [23:41] BCM34- VLC [23:41] thats all it's says raw partion i tried to format it through the live cd but it wouldn't let me [23:41] BCM34, I will admit this orb server thing is nifty. I can watch most all my videos on my Wii or other devices in a browser with it. :) [23:41] no first time i tried to was through the live cd and it wouldn't let me [23:41] milostrife: ok.. do you have ubuntu installed at this point? or are you only using the live cd? [23:41] i just know that I accidentally added a rule forcing r04 packages to be seen as text files.. [23:41] BCM34, for just audio - theres also the shoutcast server clones out. [23:42] installed on primary hdd wanting to add another one for possible duel boot [23:42] diegodiaz: why cant you right click the file, and change it in the options? [23:42] danbh_intrepid, i sort of mentioned that earlier.. but i dont think it heard me. :) [23:42] diegodiaz: 'properties' to be specific [23:42] patrik, I must admit, I'm a tad baffled here. since its acting a little daft, would you mind simply disconnecting the Huawei device, and attempting to redial it? [23:43] hey, does anyone know whats the thing called which can display system info ? [23:43] milostrife: ok.. open a console/terminal (Applications/Accessories/Terminal) and type .. sudo apt-get install gparted [23:43] dr_willis: maybe its time to /ignore : P [23:43] danbh_intrepid, I would of just used the command line and been done with it... [23:43] you can change what the file opens with, but if the file is seen as another type of file your file is locked. [23:43] Xial, ofc. Might lose connection, i did that last time, so if I disappear it's not because I'm unthankful [23:44] hey, does anyone know whats the thing called which can display system info ? [23:44] where's inittab in ubuntu? [23:44] diegodiaz, its very likely the file is currupted then. or missnamed, or other wise messed up [23:44] thats installed [23:44] !upstart > jescis [23:44] jescis, please see my private message [23:44] patrik, if it fails, I'll try to think of something else, as long as you can reconnect. :) [23:44] jescis: there is none [23:44] jescis: upstart docs should talk about that [23:44] milostrife: let me know when it's done installing.. when addressing me type the first couple/three characters of my nick and hit TAB. it will auto complete. Using my nick with a message will "ding" me. [23:44] diegodiaz, i have some .cbr files that are actually missnamed .cbz files, and it confuses things. [23:44] diegodiaz: maybe the file you have is corrupt. mime types arent based on the extension, but rather the content of the file [23:44] Xial, it failed again, same error message [23:45] lw0x15: System->Administration->System MOnitor its the left most tab [23:45] hey, does anyone know whats the thing called which can display system info ? [23:45] kinetic: do you know the command line [23:45] i got all of that guys, dr. willis and danbh.. but I did change it in properties, that is "open with" but a text file wont open with archive manager.. I messed it up during an online snafu, you got it that time doc.. [23:45] no [23:45] :< [23:45] dr_willis: thanks, it does look cool [23:45] Xial, why is it trying to connect to suse.de? [23:45] milostrife: ok.. now that it's installed go to System/Admin/Partition Editor [23:45] lw0x15: what info are you looking for? [23:45] danbh_intrepid: i had this small app which displayed system info like hdd space [23:45] uptime [23:45] etc ram usage [23:45] proccesses [23:45] BCM34, yea. Its a little sluggish over wireless here.. and the vbideo aint that great.. but Im watching old tv shows anyway :) [23:45] right danbh [23:45] and cant remember the name [23:45] Scunizi, done [23:46] lw0x15: ah, thats a system monitor kinda app [23:46] BCM34, not sure if they got a orb for linux yet. :) checking that now. [23:46] yeah [23:46] errr right lw0x15 [23:46] gbolte: guess what i messed up mine too :) [23:46] lw0x15: top will give you some of that [23:46] jrib, upstart? hhmmm -- is that for the server too? [23:46] patrik, I can only surmise that there's some sort of a misconfiguration. I made a silly assumption earlier that suse.de was something to do with your mobile provider. :) [23:46] Kxx, did you run updates? [23:47] * chalcedony smiles [23:47] (Not enough caffeine yet, today. :D) [23:47] so how did you solve your issue lw? [23:47] milostrife: nice.. it highlight the line :) .. ok with partition editor open you should be able to change the drive with the pull down box in the upper right. They are labeled /dev/sda or /dev/sdb [23:47] gbolte: i killed the daemon pulseaudio -k [23:47] if my email attachments to yahoo mail are going to someplace called 'tmp' .. how can i get them to upload to someone else? [23:47] milostrife: since it's the secondary drive it's probably sdb.. in the lower portion of the box they should also be listed. [23:47] Xial, no... guessing it has something to do with suse, the dist? Anyways I'm using Tre in sweden [23:48] gbolte: now can't seem it get it up again, I am assuming everything's gonna be fine on a restart :) [23:48] it's only come upwith sda 1,2,5 [23:48] Kxx, hope so [23:48] :/ [23:48] Scunizi, it's only come upwith sda 1,2,5 [23:48] Hello everyone, I am having Issues with Ubuntu.. I keep getting random reboots, can anyone help? I know it is not hardware related. [23:49] milostrife: they should be labeled under "Mountpoint" .. tell me the labels [23:49] I have a B43 based wireless card, and it can see the nearby networks, but cannot connect. How can I get connected? [23:49] Scunizi, found it sorry clicked on wrong tab it's saying unallicated for partition and filesystem [23:49] Right, I've got ndiswrapper configured, wicd and the built in network manager can detect my wireless, and scan for networks. However, it refuses to connect to my network, and in /var/log/messages, it ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready. Any ideas how I can get on the web? [23:49] Everytime i try to use the remote desktop i always get "unable to resolve host by name connection timed out (110)? [23:49] Hello everyone, I am having Issues with Ubuntu.. I keep getting random reboots, can anyone help? I know it is not hardware related. [23:49] gbolte: can you check whether you have pulseaudio configured to run at startup, prbbaly using sthing like bootup-manager etc [23:50] tyler, connect via the ip, not the hostname. perhaps. [23:50] diegodiaz: were you the problem with mime types? [23:50] dr_willis: Okay [23:50] milostrife: ok.. you can highlight it then click the "New" button [23:50] patrik, I'm drawing blanks, unfortunately. I don't quite know enough to figure that out. :( [23:50] Kxx, well I just restarted pulseaudio from the command line and was able to connect to it [23:50] thats a start [23:50] let me see if I get audio [23:50] :D [23:51] gbolte: :) [23:51] here's the issue in a nutshell dr. willis.. straight from properties: ftp-natgeoafganherthelostwar.r04=application/x-extension-r04 yep Danbh.. [23:51] Scunizi, ok i've got options now for create as and file system but say i want to install windows on it what should i choose for filesystem? [23:51] Can anyone tell me if a cron makes up for lost time? For instance: if I run an hourly backup script at every even hour, and work from 1:10 to 1:50 and resume at 2:10, will the cronjob for 2:00 be run? [23:51] Xial, thanks anyway ;) This "works out of the box"-thingy they call it isn't always that easy. Guess you need to find the right box... [23:52] milostrife: question first.. do you already have windows install on the other drive? or only Ubuntu? [23:52] diegodiaz: try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2952926&postcount=4 [23:52] patrik, thats how apple makes everything seem to work so smoothly. :) they limit the box's [23:52] nope no sound [23:52] :/ [23:52] i have ubuntu on this one but am thinkin of running windows on second hdd aswell [23:53] dr_willis, sad but true [23:53] I just wanna say thanks again dan and doc.. this is my first time in irc.. you guys have been patient..\ [23:53] milostrife, you could unplug the ubnut hd. install windows to the other hd.. replug them both in.. and make ubuntu boot the 2nd hd.. (or use the bios menus to boot it) 0 [23:53] dr_willis, they also make them all shiny and white, so you see them easily ;) [23:53] thanks dan.. [23:53] gbolte: sudo netstat -tulapn | grep LIST ? [23:53] milostrife, you are refering to having 2 seperate hard drives.. Not just a c: and D: which can be on the same drive... [23:53] diegodiaz: did it work? [23:54] patrik, hopefully this won't discourage you too much. :) I know the cards are a pain to set up, and I was kind of dreading setting up my pantech today. [23:54] Scunizi, well i tried that after i couldn't install straight off but it wouldn't detect it for some reason [23:54] milostrife: ok.. then you've got other things to do to make it work.. The windows install cd will create and format the HD for you but will mess up the linux Grub boot loader.. that will have to be fixed after a win install. Are you installing so you can play games or do other things.? [23:54] hmm [23:54] well its there listening [23:54] don't know yet, working it.. [23:54] patrik, i toyed with them in the store.,, they seem... very.. cheaply made/the keyboards/laptops sort of bend as you type.. :) i will pass on apple for now [23:55] right guys i rang fasthosts and they said i had to use iptables i have not used that beofre to open port 6667 [23:55] can anyone show me how to use that program [23:55] Scunizi, well some games that aren't compatible with ubuntu but some other things as well like python [23:55] Hello everyone, I am having Issues with Ubuntu.. I keep getting random reboots, can anyone help? I know it is not hardware related. [23:55] davidguest: if you are using ubuntu, no iptables are set by default. what is the output of 'sudo iptables -L'? [23:55] Does anyone know if the crontab "resumes" after a shutdown? :) [23:55] formode: are you fully uptodate? [23:56] drkibi, it might see that date has gotten moved ahead and catch up on the missed jobs. [23:56] danbh_intrepid: s/iptables/iptables rules [23:56] jrib, How do I change the settings with upstart? Like adding tty's or other tasks? [23:56] jescis: that's in the docs [23:56] !pm | davidguest [23:56] davidguest: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [23:56] drkibi, or it may not. :) if it did try to catch up.. that could cause a nasty mess when you set your time/date [23:56] !pmdavidguest > [23:56] !pm > davidguest [23:56] davidguest, please see my private message [23:56] Xial, I just installed ubuntu on my new laptop, having had XP on the desktop before since I never really made friends with linux and wireless before. It really did work out of the box, even bluetooth worked... I made som major failures with earlier versions of ubuntu, fedora and gentoo on my old laptop [23:57] milostrife: python runs in Ubuntu.. if the games need direct x then you'll definitely have to install Win the normal way. Another way to do this without borking Grub is to disconnect the ubuntu drive and leave the secondary. Install windows, reconnect Ubuntu drive and then use the bios to switch between them or update grub to include a line to list windows on boot. [23:57] davidguest: can you paste the results of netstat -l ? [23:57] dr_willis: Hmm, true, thanks for the info :). I'll just expirement with it then :) [23:57] dr_willis, true. But at least they are expensive [23:57] davidguest: sorry. I didn't mean to spam you with !pm :) Use paste.ubuntu.com to paste [23:57] Scunizi, pref do the update grub line to include both [23:58] drkibi, i think it just skips the missed ones. [23:58] davidguest: actually, can we take this to #ubuntu-server Im curious what the people there have to say [23:58] how do i send that my irc client only alows 27 lines [23:58] !grub > milostrife [23:58] davidguest: use http://paste.ubuntu.com [23:58] milostrife, please see my private message [23:58] milostrife: thought so.. still easier to pull the drive on install then fix grub post-facto [23:58] patrik, that's one of the great things -- I had a similar experience (since I am admittedly a windows user who is dabbling bit by bit on this side of the line) with this laptop. Never did test the wi-fi, since I don't use a wireless router. :) [23:59] My e220 connects and receives an IP, but can't seem to connect to the DNS. Trying for some reason to connect to suse.de. Any ideas? [23:59] milostrife : also a very good tool for recreating grub is the super-grub cd (google it) [23:59] Scunizi, ?? that kinda wen over my head still rather new with ubuntu [23:59] milostrife: did you get the private message that DasEi sent you on grub? It's worth bookmarking [23:59] Scunizi, yeah i just loading :) [23:59] hey dan, it looks like there should be an argument for that particular command.. I am using hardy, might it have changed in context from that post?
