[00:00] Does anyone have any experience using kvpnc to connect to a Windows network? I'm beginning to think the software itself is broken. [00:00] Xial, sadly, if I cant get this mobile stuff to work, I'll have to switch back. =/ It seemed so easy in the tutorials ;) [00:00] !tab > diegodiaz please use my whole name. It helps me poor eyes [00:00] diegodiaz, please see my private message [00:00] milostrife : have problems with identifying partitions ? > sudo fdisk-l [00:00] milostrife: there's lots of new things that you'll be learning with linux and ubuntu.. grub is one of the necessary evils you get use to and can learn to like [00:00] diegodiaz: which command? [00:00] using a liveCD what do I do to increase the size of my linux partition? [00:01] Hm, my thinkpad (running ubuntu) isn't getting a dhcp response from the router/access point. [00:01] !GParted > Razer one option [00:01] Razer, please see my private message [00:01] jescis: poke me if you can't find them, and I'll search too. I know I've seen them there though [00:01] Isn't the LiveCD size limited to your RAM size? [00:01] Razer make sure you back up before using any partition utilities [00:02] danbh_intrepid: how do I resize my ntfs partition though? [00:02] danbh_intrepid: the sudo update-mime-database command from that post.. [00:02] patrik: i do have to admit, though, I'm also curious as to why the current howto for evdo cards didn't help. [00:02] Also, not that I can do anything about it right now, but anybody know about kernel versions? Ever since I upgraded to hardy, suspend-to-ram has stopped working. Suspend-to-disk (aka hibernate) sorta works, but every second or third time I have to force a reboot. [00:02] Scunizi, have problems with identifying partitions ? > sudo fdisk-l would that work or not? yeah my friend that introduced me to it said the same === meoblast is now known as meoblast001 [00:02] milostrife: the grub link I think specifically shows you how to recover after installing window as a secondary OS [00:02] diegodiaz: what arguments is it looking for? [00:02] milostrife: sudo fdisk -l (there's a space there between k & -l) will identify partitions.. [00:03] Scunizi, yeah it's a how to but my problem is still gettin windows to install through bios as i have legit copied cd of my windows disk but it keeps crashing on autoload in ubuntu? [00:04] milostrife: it only identifies them with that command. When installing windows on the secondary drive, if you have a choice for the filesystem choose NTFS not Fat32 [00:04] danbh_intrepid: looks like [-hvV] MIME-DIR [00:04] milostrife: you can't load ubuntu then from there put the disk in and install windows.. you have to put the disk in and reboot. [00:04] diegodiaz: can you pastebin the results of your commands? [00:04] I can't resize my ntfs partition with gparted [00:05] Razer: is this hardy? [00:05] sure.. right here, or private to you? [00:05] !paste > diegodiaz [00:05] diegodiaz, please see my private message [00:05] danbh_intrepid: yes [00:05] Razer you need to install a package for ntfs resize to appear in gparted [00:05] Scunizi, ok well i tried that but it wouldn't let me format on ntfs it just came up with a message saying if you with to install windows on this dirve please select a partition when it's just saying raw unpartitioned space [00:05] koshari: I'm running off a liveCD [00:06] Razer otherwise it will be greyed out, i cant remember the package name [00:06] milostrife: ok.. then use partition editor to create a partition and see if it will format it using ntfs [00:06] again, 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? [00:06] Razer: you are right, gparted doesnt support it [00:06] Razer you can still install packaged in a live session if your connected [00:07] danbh_intrepid: i was also thinking I might be able to restore it from the HH live disk.. [00:07] Why not like [00:07] choose to install [00:07] I posted it by the way. [00:07] use the installation to partition the drive [00:07] and then exit the installation? [00:07] diegodiaz: if you have a separate /home, that usually the easiest fix [00:07] diegodiaz: link? [00:07] Razer ntfsprogs is the package, however i generally use the gparted live cd for such actions [00:08] Scunizi, the gpartitioner you give install line for? if it is then it only comes up with ecxt2,3 fat16,32 linux-swap, reiserfs and unformatted [00:08] Razer remember to BACKUP.... [00:08] koshari: I am running ther gparted liveCd [00:08] koshari: isn't it possible to just use the Setup to format the disk and then exit setup before it's completed? [00:08] milostrife: didn't realize there was an unformatted option.. use that one. [00:08] koshari: i.e. before it starts installing Ubuntu files [00:08] danbh_intrepid: oops.. first timer here.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/47019/ [00:09] keepsake possable bu ti havnt done it, i still think you cannot resize a ntfs partition without ntfsprogs [00:09] diegodiaz: thats the wrong command [00:09] Scunizi, ok what do i create as primary or extended partions logical isn't an option? [00:09] koshari: I'm pretty sure the 8.04 setup supports NTFS drives =S I might be wrong though [00:09] milostrife: primary [00:09] milostrife: how large is the drive? [00:09] koshari: but that's how I recovered one of my laptop's drives that I accidentally deleted using aefdisk in Windows [00:09] diegodiaz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2952926&postcount=4 are you looking at this page? [00:10] keepsake it does support creating ntfs partitions but not resizing [00:10] Scunizi, only 40gig operation is pending now [00:10] koshari: It says I already have ntfsprogs [00:10] Hello, my session just suddenly restarted, how can I diagnose whats wrong looking into log files? Can someone help me with the basics? [00:10] yep.. === xmagixx is now known as xmagixx^BNC [00:10] Razer there must be another reason it wont let you resize, its not mounted is it? [00:10] koshari: I don't know [00:10] diegodiaz: see how the command you ran is not the command suggested, which is: sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime [00:10] Razer: Try this bootcd: http://sysresccd.org/Main_Page [00:10] milostrife: pretty small but large enough.. if it was larger I'd suggest making as small a portion of a partition that windows will need and use the remaining portion for extra Ubuntu storage. [00:11] Razer: It's supposed to have qtparted which does support NTFS [00:11] you cannot edit partitions while thay are mounted [00:11] well I seem to have got one of the problems sorted [00:11] I now have audio [00:11] Scunizi, yeah was thinking that but just brought an external 500gib for ubuntu storage [00:11] danbh_intrepid: Yeah, you're absolutely right.. [00:11] but I do not have spdif audio [00:11] :/ [00:11] Is it possible to set a page quota per day in Ubuntu Hardy for a USB printer? I tried editing the cups config file and restarting cups but it didn't work--I was still able to exceed the quota without a complaint from cupsd... [00:11] diegodiaz: ok, good, im glad you see. Give it another try, let me know if it works [00:11] so if anyone has any ideas to make my spdif out work please let me know [00:12] milostrife: sounds like me.. I have a 500 external and 3 internals.. 80 gig/120 gig/ 250gig [00:13] Scunizi, i was hopeing to get a terrabiyte but wasn't in the sale and didn't really have the spare cash for it as it was £135 :( [00:13] it looks like its making a connection when I check and uncheck the iec958 box in gnome volume thingy the receiver looks like it notices [00:13] :/ [00:13] but again still no audio [00:13] Scunizi, it's found it now file systems unknown partition name is sdb1 [00:13] milostrife: ouch.. that apx. $250.. they're on sale out here for around $150 or apx 70 [00:13] Razer: btw, if you do use that LiveCD, people have suggested that you defrag NTFS first [00:14] which is a problem since I would like to watch movies in surround sound on this box [00:14] Razer: and to back up the NTFS partition in case things go wrong (though it shouldn't) [00:14] danbh_intrepid: thanks, wish me luck.. [00:14] milostrife: yee ha. (that's an American term) now you can install windows [00:14] oh lmao he left XD [00:14] Scunizi, lol mite have to buy one and get my cousin to mail me XD it's got an (!) in a yellow and orange triangle does that mean anything? [00:14] diegodiaz: good luck! and let me know! [00:15] milostrife: is that inside of partition editor? [00:15] Scunizi, yeah just after the sdb1 before filesystem [00:16] milostrife: probably just means it's not formatted. [00:16] simple question: I'd like to replace grub with a graphical boot manager. I let other users use this computer, and it's a bit annoying to remind them to choose Windows so they can play their silly poker game. Are there any recommended ones? [00:16] Scunizi, okies well i'll give windows a try now thanks for help XD [00:16] Hi could some one please let me know if you need an antivirus programe or a firewall with ubuntu [00:16] darren_ generally not [00:17] koshari, OK THANKS [00:17] milostrife: http://tinyurl.com/3fs7jp no problem.. :) [00:17] that a link to the drive. [00:17] Xial: try gfxboot [00:18] Xial: it simulates the bootscreen in OpenSUSE [00:18] Xial: or, at least, it's possible to simulate it if you download a file for it [00:18] darren_: It really depends, what do you intend to do on Ubuntu [00:18] Also one last thing when i try autodetect it says invalid argument but when i select an other option like alsa sound works fine is this normal [00:18] darren_: in general no av is needed, but firewall you might want [00:18] Cpudan80, ok thanks [00:19] keepsake: thanks for that. looking into it now to see if it might meet my needs. :) [00:19] Xial: good luck! [00:19] darren_: If you are going to run some bad services on your ubuntu box (most popular one would be VNC) -- you might want to block that (if you are plugged right into the net [no NAT]) [00:20] Cpudan80, ok thanks for the advice [00:21] what im about to do is part of a bet..enjoy kicking me out [00:21] darren_: services like VNC can be made safe, if you run them over SSH [00:21] ########################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################### [00:21] SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM [00:21] ########################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################## SOME MORE SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM########################### [00:21] ... nice.

Learning things? Surely, you jest! [00:23] lol [00:23] Asking to much? [00:23] too* [00:25] hi. does anyone here use gedit and the plugin "External Tools" [00:25] ? [00:25] i'd like to boot the same install of ubuntu from 2 different computers (one being a VM). It all boots fine but i have to reinstall the drivers every time. is there a way to have something like "hardware profiles" for each computer? [00:25] i am unable to find an easy to use MESS erm.. well i cant find a working one.. so.. what are the top emulators for sega cd sega genesis neogeo spectrum atari ngpc pcengine? you can pm the info... [00:26] hello all, I have a bit of a Windows issue I need to ask about, but it arose while downloading ubuntu. [00:26] im am using gedit 2.22.3 but i am unable to activate the plugin "external Tools". Did anyone here successfully activate it? [00:26] DjDoUblEs: what issue would that be? [00:27] Anything I download that is more than 10 MB ends up incorrectly downloading or just corrupt. [00:27] how does this freaking UP-YOURS that replaced inittab work if you need to setup a serial console [00:27] this is major fail [00:28] chris__ for simple thngs hal shouls sort out the modules however for video driver ect it may be a problem [00:28] does ANYONE here have gedit. and if yes, which version? [00:28] Now to get that reboot in that I've put off for an hour. (Thank goodness I don't get poked every eight minutes for it.) [00:28] I tried downloading ubuntu 8 times already, 4 times just from mirrors, twice for the torrent, and twice through wubi but to no avail. [00:28] DjDoUblEs what downlaod app are you using? [00:28] firefox [00:29] then utorrent and wubi [00:29] koshari: you have any suggestions where to look for a solution? [00:29] I am having Random restarts ever since I updated my Ubuntu with all the updates of the last month. It was not restarting randomly before then! Help, please. [00:29] formode: was there a new kernel? [00:29] I check the MD5 against the ISO and it fails everytime [00:29] Formode, I have no idea. [00:30] my sound isn't working, it was very recently, i have no idea why and didn't change anything. ideas? === macabro22 is now known as mercutio22 [00:30] I know it was an update from within the last 30 days, it is not hardware related, Xorg related, Gnome related. [00:30] chris__ so if i understand you will have one instalation but 2 instances of accessing it? how will the vm access it? [00:30] jrib, inittab was easier :( [00:30] samthing happens when I try to download iTunes 8.0 [00:30] danbh_intrepid, I have no idea. I know it was an update from within the last 30 days, it is not hardware related, Xorg related, Gnome related. [00:30] koshari: the vm accesses the physical HD. all that works already. the only trouble is the driver issue [00:30] formode: if you had a new kernel, you would have options to choose at bootup [00:30] chris__ could you not have 2 installs and symlink the /~ from one to the second? [00:31] Hey I am having problems connecting to my wireless network can anyone help me ? ? ? [00:31] !wireless [00:31] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:31] danbh_intrepid No I didn't get any options after the updates. and, it has been doing random boots while loading GRUB too. [00:32] formode: I dont understand what random boots means? [00:32] chris__ do you know which drivers are the issue? maybe you could write a script that looks at a tel tale sign for which hardware its booting on and then rmmod the offending drivers and modprobe the needed ones at boot time [00:33] danbh_intrepid My computer will randomly restart without warning, hard restart, no dialogues no nothing. Like a power failure, but I know that is not the problem. [00:33] formode, [00:33] formode: heat sink failure? [00:33] what brand power supply [00:33] * jescis wishes he never installed ubuntu :< [00:33] * flyback does also [00:34] 6.06 has been fucking shit nothing but trouble for our servers at work [00:34] danbh_intrepid, It wouldn't be that, it didn't start until the updates. [00:34] nathdelicia@gmail.com [00:34] probably going to quit my job after almost 2 yrs over this [00:34] flyback, You're aware 6.06 is heavily outdated? [00:34] flyback: please watch your language [00:34] yes [00:34] formode: Its not outdated. [00:34] koshari: hmm im sort of a linux noob i'm not really sure. mainly video drivers for now. there are several addons that vbox installs too [00:34] that's what vmware server will run on [00:34] and that's what I had a pxe boot template and install script for [00:34] flannel, it is no longer supported offically by Canocial. [00:35] formode: yes it is. It's got until april of next year. [00:35] I have an ubuntu hardy server that I just built. [00:35] formode: and on the server, two years after that. [00:35] flyback, I'm running 7.10 [00:35] i'm using 8.04 and accidentally deleted my entire top bar. i've managed to get a new bar up, but can't seem to get all of the old menus back. is there an easy way to restore this default panel/top bar arrangement? [00:35] flannel, Ah, didn't know. [00:35] I made a 8.04 install but I can't get this freaking inittab replacement figured ourt [00:35] oh support ends next yr?

[00:55] Aside from CDs being bad, what are some of the things that would cause segfaults and recursive faults during install? [00:55] Strife89: in that case, I don't know, sorry [00:55] HI! I'm moving over from Windows to Ubuntu and there's only one thing holding me back. I used a dual-monitors setup with Windows and cannot get Ubuntu to work properly with it. It clones easily, but I want it to extend instead. I have been using "Screens and Graphics" to tweak things, but it hasn't worked. I'm running on an Intel 845 and the monitor is an HP w17e on Ubuntu Hardy Heron [00:55] starn: I see a program called kamefu [00:55] starn: that is a "KDE All Machine Emulator Frontend for Unix" [00:56] Anyone know why I'd be getting a segmentation fault when requesting .php files via apache2 ? [00:56] For example, this computer is in workgroup "WORKGROUP", but two Windows PCs I'm trying to access are in "MSHOME" (and yes, I've done it before; I recently clean-installed). [00:56] keepsake: i tried it. it did not work... not only that but i am using gnome... [00:56] I've installed all via ubuntu packages [00:56] wicd or network manager? [00:56] Strife89: /etc/samba/smb.conf [00:56] As root, I assume. [00:57] helltraum: apache segfaults or your browser segfaults? [00:57] Hi I try to connect to a pc via XDMCP. It works from another pc but not from this one. At the gdm login screen I choose XDMCP chooser. Then I can choose the PC I want to connect to. After clicking connect I'm after some seconds back in the lokal login. Where can I find log files or infomarions ? [00:57] Strife89: yeah, gedit that as root [00:57] starn: from experience, many K apps work on Gnome [00:58] What else than XDMCP can I use if I want sound to be forwarded ? [00:58] keepsake: i know. but i prefer gnome based apps and also like i said i have tried it before it dint work right.. [00:58] keepsake: Do semicolons make it a comment?

[01:09] is there a way that I can downgrade the version of alsa that I have [01:09] ? [01:10] dr_willis: yea man, I googled how to get firestarter running in my gnome session thats how I came up with what i got [01:10] I have a feeling that the drivers that I am using are to blame for my lack of spdif out [01:10] fellas what is the safest usb wireless card to buy in order to work with WPA and Ubuntu Hardy?? [01:10] Hi could some one please help i have rtl8187 usb wireless driver installed with ndiswrapper, it shows my wifi and also the strength i can connect to non encrppred but not my router with wep has any one else had the same problem [01:10] Still asks me for a pass at login though [01:10] dashnu, I just dont worry about the firewall much. :) [01:11] gbolte, dpkg --force-downgrade -i [01:11] on [01:11] dpkg --force-downgrade -i oldpackage.deb [01:11] chubs_, but I have to have the actual deb files for that to work though right? [01:12] darren is your wireless WEP or WPA? [01:12] dashnu, that line looks wrong. with the ALL=NOPASSWD bit.. i thought that was saying all commands , didentneed a password.. but as i said. I alwyas have to reread the sudoers man pages and guides. when i mess with it [01:12] gbolte, right, but they shouldn't be tough to find [01:12] dr_willis: its a nice front end for iptables... easy enough for the average joe [01:12] wonder if there is any chance the old ones are still in the repos [01:12] dr_willis: i read over the man again and see what I come up with [01:12] thx! [01:12] HawkInCa, i know my router is wep with the code the wifi adapter i have no idear [01:13] darren i had the same problem but its because your wireless is not compatible with WPA. [01:13] HawkInCa, the code is right it just wont connect [01:13] macd: $ http://pastie.org/272413 -- i have work and home boxes. work is behind firewall, thus i am reverse connecting to home, on port 22222. ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on home is in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys .. [01:13] darren i had same issue [01:14] dashnu, im thinking you are missing some ( ) also in there. [01:14] harryjr, yes its pasted into authorized_keys wrong, the whitespace error tells all [01:15] verify there is none leading or trailing [01:15] dr_willis: i think your right... I'll let you know what I come up with [01:15] dashnu, i found a web site that had man pages. the man page in the browser was a bit easier to read. due to the code/examples and stuff being differnt fonts. [01:15] has anyone gotten a wpa wireless to work with Hardy? [01:15] HawkInCa, ok if i use the driver from aircrack it connects but does not show signel strength, and if i use the ndiswrapper it shows signel strength but does not connect so i think its compatible [01:16] dr_willis, dashnu: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [01:16] darren yeah i had the exact same issue. i decided to get new wireless card that is compatible with ubuntu hardy [01:16] HawkInCa, ok thanks for the advice i will have to look into it [01:16] hello, how to disable autostart of some daemon?

[01:21] harryjr, pretty odd, does your authorized keys file start with ssh-rsa or dsa, and end with login@computer ? or are you pasting a pgp key that says begin block end [01:22] ssh-rsa [01:22] Anyone know why I'd be getting a seg fault when requesting php files via apache2 ? [01:22] it looks all fine. [01:22] I've installed all the packages from the repositories .. [01:22] the logs seem to indicate its parsing something else [01:22] harryjr, look @ lines 5 and 35 [01:23] How to disable nessusd autostart with system? [01:23] helltraum: Do you have a PHP accelerator/byte-code optimizer on that system? [01:23] macd: there is only one line, with the given key.

[01:25] anybody want to take on a no sound problem, after kernel upgrade [01:26] egroeg: try alsa [01:26] harryjr, it looks like its not even parsing the right file, lines 5,36 look like a PGP key, its weird. [01:26] Does anyone know if NVidia's 8800GTS will be supported in 8.10? [01:26] They are saying in apache that the wrong package has been installed ... I don't buy that for a second [01:26] macd, looks like it's gonna remove nessusd completely, isn't it? [01:26] I'm sure other people would've been complaining if that was the case [01:26] i have never in my life used pgp [01:26] JackCSG, the nvidia binary driver supports it [01:26] anyone here use Xbox XBMC with Ubuntu? I am having filemanager lag when exploring directories on my samba server from the xbox. ANyone know how to solve this problem?

It just further reinforced my views on PHP. [01:27] JackCSG: yes [01:27] JackCSG, Im pretty sure hardware accel works I have a 8600GT [01:28] ^Phantom^, use alt-mouse click to move windows aroundif they are stuck/offscreen perhaps [01:28] alsaconf says command not found?

[01:38] I'll have to look at vbox, if it can run my DeLorme nav program, and/or my tv tuner, I'll have no more need ot M$ [01:38] keepsake sadly, many older, crappy games were written so badly that they barely work on XP let alone through wine lol [01:38] <^Phantom^> i was doing sudos and crap and messed it up to where the os couldn't boot anymore cause of display errors [01:38] keepsake i heard CS works great in wine [01:38] J-n: hahahaha okay; do you think games like CS would run better in a vbox? [01:38] n3glv: it sounds like those things need hardware access... [01:39] hell [01:39] you can't run games in any virtualization at the moment [01:39] hello [01:39] unless you have some very expensive and unusual hardware [01:39] keepsake but i dont play counterstrike, the problem with most modern games is you need good video support [01:39] ehtom i play several games in Vbox [01:39] they must be pre-2000 then [01:39] <^Phantom^> i need to find my win98 install cd [01:39] i.e. no direct3d [01:39] yeah, would have to see if the damn usb gps is supported, most unix it's not. soemone patched the kernel tree a while back to make some UPS work, and that trashed the gps [01:39] <^Phantom^> so i can vb win98 too :D [01:39] J-n: okay, thanks [01:40] n3glv: a vm won't have access to your hardware unfortunately [01:40] ehtom Navyfield is not pre '00 but the graphics are.. other nongraphically intense games can be played as well [01:40] anyone know the fix for 8.04 not reporting the correct cpu frequency? [01:40] yeah, I'm dual booting vista... [01:40] n3glv: it may be possible to do some hack, but you'de need to know how to program kernel modules [01:40] sivel: what cpu do you have? [01:41] <^Phantom^> i have my win98 product key stored with the win98 install cd <_< [01:41] a quad 6600 [01:41] sivel: How do you know your CPU isn't slowing down to save energy? Intel's SpeedStep does that. [01:41] n3glv: and if the windows hardware drivers use dma, you're screwed [01:41] <^Phantom^> otherwise i'd just d/l an iso [01:41] <^Phantom^> heh [01:41] they are @ 3.02 G, but ubuntu reports stock 2.4G [01:41] sivel: you might need a 64bit ubuntu to enable the quadcore [01:41] <^Phantom^> Processor:[2-Intel] Clock:[1986MHz] Cache:[0KB] Memory:[985/2048MB (48.10%)] [01:41] sivel: does it report that you have 4 cores?

[01:42] i recently installed a second drive and put windows on it, and got my grub back and all that, and now i'm adding windows to the grub list, but all the ubuntu ones in the list use hd(0,0), how can i tell which one to use for my second windows drive? [01:42] <^Phantom^> so i now get even better performance than i did with 1gig :D [01:42] how do I stop my system from locking up when a buggy program uses too much memory? (or how do I get it un-locked) [01:43] nope, through the bios, and windows reports them correctly [01:43] linux multitasking doesn't seem to work when the disk is being used heavily (eg during swapping) [01:43] sivel: the default is "cat /proc/cpuinfo" [01:43] Hi, in Fedora I had /etc/sysconfig/iptables file where I specified the iptables rules for my box, is there an equivalent in Ubuntu?

[01:44] ok, heres a line of interest Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz [01:45] sivel: It looks like you've overclocked it. cpuinfo is probably asking the CPU, "Can you tell me about yourself?" and the CPU just responds with what it was told to say from the factory. If you've overclocked it, that doesn't change the cpuid burned onto the silicon. [01:45] <^Phantom^> can someone please guide me through the guest additions display driver install thingy so i don't totally fuck up ubuntu again? [01:45] Azazel-A2: well, yes, I mean, I know how to specify rules in the command line, but want to have a place where I have the rules when I reboot my box [01:45] !language | ^Phantom^ [01:45] ^Phantom^: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[01:47] no, not the oc speed [01:47] kwame, can't help ya. I run firestarter on my boxes for ubuntu [01:47] on another note, all of the sudden every key i hit creates an annoying beep [01:48] sivel: like a system beep? [01:48] yup, exactly [01:48] from out of nowhere [01:48] <^Phantom^> one of the main reasons i'm vbing ubuntu is cause my friend recommended it to me, and cause i read that there are some good open-source video editors for linux :D [01:48] sh: infobash: not found [01:48] sivel: for powernowd, look at "man powernowd", for the speakers, try "modprobe -r pcspkr" [01:49] ok, thank you very much [01:49] <^Phantom^> k now i am booting up linux :D [01:49] anyone know how to disconnect from network from console? [01:49] !iptables > kwame [01:49] kwame, please see my private message [01:49] pan03242: Use ifconfig to disable the interface. [01:49] pan03242: look into ifdown [01:50] kwane, are you trying to have iptables load on boot with your rules? [01:50] anyone here use Xbox XBMC with Ubuntu? I am having filemanager lag when exploring directories on my samba server from the xbox. ANyone know how to solve this problem? [01:50] cilkay: Dunno anything about PATA, but I assume my internal HD is plugged in with IDE [01:50] cilkay: I've got a dell inspiron 5100 [01:50] chetnick, any responsed yet? [01:50] <^Phantom^> k how do i find out what version of xserver came with my ubuntu installation? [01:50] sivel: to disable pcspkr at startup, add "blacklist pcspkr" to "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" [01:50] cilkay: lspci shows an IDE bus [01:51] cilkay: lspci does not output PATA [01:51] JasonWoof: How much RAM? [01:51] cilkay: 500MB [01:51] cilkay: I mostly don't run graphical desktops, so it should be more than enough [01:51] ^Phantom^: how about apt-cache show xserver-xorg [01:51] hey guys [01:51] JasonWoof: What does top report when your disk is thrashing and the system isn't responsive? [01:51] ^Phantom^ i fear virtual box may not be a great final solution for you, if you wish to do video editing. :( I am not sure if you'll be able to get much, if any, preformance from your video card in that department, as the ability for the guest OS to access hardware is very limited :( [01:52] ^Phantom^: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg should work [01:52] cilkay: can I get around the IDE blocking thing with the kernel CONFIG_PREEMPT=y ? [01:52] Azazel-A2, nobody [01:52] actually its only happening in xchat [01:52] cilkay: I can't run top, I can't even get an exterm open [01:52] ok.. also wb davidguest [01:52] not in the terminal, or anything else [01:52] JasonWoof: That isn't normal at all. [01:52] still having bother dont no whats going on [01:52] grr dam irc [01:52] is there a way to change the items in my Places menu [01:52] danbh_intrepid1: thanks [01:52] cilkay: if I catch it early, while my system is still functional (though unreasonably slow) I see a process with 1GB of virtual memory [01:53] <^Phantom^> also, can I please get some guidance using this "guest additions" thing to get better resolution in ubuntu [01:53] <^Phantom^> ? [01:53] <^Phantom^> * [01:53] or whatever, virtual memory that's going up fast [01:53] ok, what isn't starting? you try apt-get autoremove offending package && apt-get install offending package [01:53] sudo ifdown ath0 [01:53] ifdown: interface ath0 not configured [01:53] ? [01:53] hey everyone I am trying to configure Cairo Dock and I cant figure out how to remove sub docks [01:53] Am I able to burn the CD image to a blank DVD disc without problems? [01:53] sudo ifdown ath0 [01:53] I can't find a DVD iso anywhere. [01:53] cilkay: it's generally been my experience with linux [01:53] davidguest did you get my suggestion apt-get install lokkit? [01:53] I remember being much happier on my old mac when I turned CONFIG_PREEMPT on [01:53] Azazel-A2, E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [01:53] pan03242: ifdown is a shortcut that will only work if the interface has an entry in /etc/network/interfaces. For unconfigured interfaces you can still use 'sudo ifconfig ath0 down'. [01:54] yeah i tried that [01:54] grrr [01:54] ok try that first [01:54] how do i change the I/O Scehdular [01:54] k [01:54] thx [01:54] rno idea what the heck up at least windows firewal is easy 2 change [01:54] JasonWoof: Not mine. I run 512M virtual machines but you have to stay on top of what you're running on them. The problem looks like you're hitting swap and that disk thrashing isn't the problem. It's the symptom. [01:54] cilkay: is thrashing supposed to kill all multitasking? [01:55] I think I aught to be able to use my computer anyway [01:55] * ^Phantom^ looks at the screen with odd face [01:55] Hi, Google earth doesn;t appear in my package manager! What is the command to install it please? [01:55] at least a little, I just want a few cycles to start up an xterm and run killall or something [01:55] chetnick, what happened? [01:55] you can download the Tar files off of their website [01:55] <^Phantom^> "W: Unable to locate package xserver-org" [01:55] what is portmap used for ? can I kill it without major consequences ? [01:55] JasonWoof: If you've run out of real memory, it sure will kill responsiveness. It's not killing multitasking per se. I'll bet if you could get top going on that, you'd see the load average would be very high and many processes waiting for CPU attention. [01:56] JasonWoof: That makes for a very unpleasant and unresponsive system. Add more RAM. [01:56] <^Phantom^> anyway [01:56] something went horribly wrong with my graphical display(log in sound but blank screen) now running from a live cd, can i 'repair' somehow, or should i completely reinstall? [01:56] dumbdum: download it from google directly [01:56] <^Phantom^> i want the higher resolution first [01:56] spx2: ubuntu package list says: Portmap is a server that converts RPC (Remote Procedure Call) program numbers into DARPA protocol port numbers. It must be running in order to make RPC calls. [01:56] cilkay: nope, when I've gotten top open, I see one process hogging memory, and the CPU not doing much [01:56] JasonWoof: What is that process? [01:56] dumbdum: the install command is sh [01:56] i have ubuntu hardy + sound blaset live value card. i can only hear audio out of my front speakers (and not the rear ones). on my card there is separate output for front/audio speakers.... everything is turned up in alsa, and i have tried restarting... ideas? [01:56] JasonWoof: and what is the load average? [01:56] cilkay: it varies, since I tend not to run such programs again [01:56] cilkay: last time it was the thunar-file-manager thing from xfce [01:57] spx2: Required for NFS or NIS, among other things. For normal desktop use though it's not even installed by default, so you could in those cases. [01:57] But it downloads as a "bin" and I dont know what to do with it :( [01:57] dumbdum, go into properties [01:57] cilkay: I had a 21600x21600 pixel png in my home folder and it was trying to make an icon from it. apparently by decompressing the entire thing into memory [01:57] properties for what? [01:57] (which would take about 1.3GB for 3 bytes/pixel) [01:57] JasonWoof: NO WONDER! :) [01:57] dumbdum, of the bin file [01:58] Ok! [01:58] cilkay: so yes, my software screwed up. but I don't think one buggy program running as my normal user should be able to effectively crash my computer by trying to allocate too much ram [01:58] Am I able to successfully burn the Ubuntu CD image to a DVD disc? [01:58] JasonWoof: You want a refund or something? [01:58] JasonWoof: why in the world do you have a png that big? [01:59] What are you whining to me about? :) [01:59] dumbdum, then go to permissions, and check 'allow excecuting file as a program' [01:59] I think linux is capable of multitasking enough to give a few cycles to my WM and xterm so I can fix it without powercycling [01:59] cilkay: please dont troll [01:59] reformer81, what os? [01:59] keepsake: I forget. now I'm afraid to look at it [01:59] danbh_intrepid1: Huh? I think you have it backwards. === vorian is now known as mad-mule [01:59] JasonWoof: haha, i wouldn't doubt that === mad-mule is now known as vorian [01:59] seems to be a high-res map [01:59] how do i find out what user ran a process? [02:00] ps aux | grep -i 'process name' [02:00] i get a message that the file is corrupt, so I will download it again, sorry [02:00] Azazel-A2: Uhm... I mean, if I burn the CD image to a blank DVD disc, can I still boot it normally? [02:00] JasonWoof: My son used a Celeron 366 with 196M of RAM for 3 years. It was slow but usable. [02:00] But he never attempted to open a 21k x 21k PNG. [02:00] <^Phantom^> k it won't let me install the guest additions thing [02:00] cilkay: sure, my last laptop had 128MB of ram. that was enough for most things [02:01] JasonWoof: Anyway, good luck. I'm done. Nothing to see here. I'm moving on. [02:01] ^phantom^ getting an error message? [02:01] yes, you can boot the cd off the cd-drive as a live eval [02:01] <^Phantom^> "program must be run with administrator privelages" [02:02] ^Phantom^: sudo! gksudo! [02:02] cilkay: so you don't think there's any way to recover a computer that's started thrashing? [02:02] <^Phantom^> is there any way i can run it as an admin [02:02] alt+f2 [02:02] reoformer81, my question was wer eyou buring dvd from windows pc, or linux manchine [02:02] JasonWoof: Kill the offending process. [02:02] !gksudo [02:02] 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) [02:02] ^Phantom^: if it's a GUI program, use "gksudo " [02:02] ^Phantom^: if it's a console program, use "sudo " [02:02] JasonWoof: And please stop pinging me. There are 1236 other people in the channel too. [02:02] With the program rarcrack, how do I get the password which has been cracked? The xml file it created doesn't seem to show anything. [02:02] JasonWoof, magic+sysreq http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/457 [02:03] 1235 not counting you. [02:03] cilkay: thanks for chatting. just curious if you actually had an answer you wanted to slip in at the last minute [02:03] <^Phantom^> it's the virtualbox guest additions thing... [02:04] Hi there [02:04] ^Phantom^: you're doing all this because ubuntu can't find the proper monitor resolution? [02:04] JasonWoof: Cheers. [02:05] keepsake, its a good idea to install the virtualbox guest additions anyways, mouse integration, flexible display resizing [02:05] macd: okay, i didn't realise he wanted to change it in virtualbox =P [02:05] <^Phantom^> i'm doing this because I want to be able to match the vbox fullscreen with my 1440x900 display [02:05] With the program rarcrack, how do I get the password which has been cracked? The xml file it created doesn't seem to show anything. [02:06] ^Phantom^, anyways, Click applications --> file manager (super user mode) --> enter your pass --> run the vbox guest install [02:07] ^phantom^ at what step are you? Have you mounted the Guest additons ISO into your drive yet? If you do not have premission to run a program that is text based use sudo program.name graphically based program gksudo program.name [02:07] <^Phantom^> there is no file manager (super user mode) thing there... [02:08] ^Phantom^: press Alt+F2, then type in "gksudo nautilus" [02:10] !love [02:10] Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come. [02:10] Hi, ive downloaded Google earth.bin from the net, how do I install it? [02:10] <^Phantom^> the additions thing doesn't show up in the new window <_< [02:10] !googleearth | dumbdum [02:10] dumbdum: Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository [02:10] dumbdum: Use the one in medibuntu [02:11] the scroll bar on my touchpad stopped working, is there a quick way to reset the device instead of rebooting? [02:11] hi, is there a channel for playstation ubuntu? === ^Phantom^ is now known as dumb_idiot [02:11] <-- that's how I feel right now [02:11] Ok, how do I do that please, (As you can see im very new to Linux!) [02:11] I've just done a sudo apt-get remove php5 -- now when I sudo apt-get install php5 .. it says it's done .. but there's nothing at all in /usr/bin [02:12] Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here ? [02:12] dumbdum, i'm installing googleearth from medibuntu now... its easy to do, just follow the inst [02:12] helltraum: You want to install php5-cli [02:12] Ubuntu host, ubuntu guest via vbox, how do I set it up so that the ubuntu guest can be accessed by the host as a hostname? === dumb_idiot is now known as ^Phantom^ [02:12] dumb_idiot: go to the folder that contains the Virtual Box program you need to run [02:13] Ok .. thanks [02:13] ?? [02:13] ^Phantom^: what i said to dumb_idiot =P [02:13] <^Phantom^> <_< [02:13] ^Phantom^: figure out the folder name in full, and then the name of the application [02:13] ^Phantom^: so you can run the program in console with sudo [02:13] ^Phantom^: i mean gksudo [02:14] <^Phantom^> it's mounted as a drive >_> [02:14] How do I install Google earth from medibuntu? [02:14] ^Phantom^: okay, just open a file browser [02:14] ^Phantom^: browse to it [02:14] ^Phantom^: and see what it says at the top [02:14] ^Phantom^: under location [02:15] ^Phantom^: if you don't see location, click the page with the pencil under back [02:15] dumbdum: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu I suggest the "individual package" method, but either will work fine. [02:15] i forget this: when burning a downloaded iso, what is the best speed to burn it to a disk at? [02:15] <^Phantom^> OH i get it now [02:15] <^Phantom^> J-n helped me get it [02:15] ^Phantom^: haha okay [02:15] dumbdum: also, if you're following the individual package thing, don't go to /pool/ just go here: http://packages.medibuntu.org/ its easier to find that way [02:16] i know i don't want to go at max speed [02:16] isn't 16x good or should i go slower? [02:16] acrousey: what's wrong with max speed? [02:17] keepsake: I think i remember there being errors going at max [02:17] ^phantom^ it's how i started using ubuntu as well.. i realized that the drivers that VBOX forces ubuntu to use for video weren't what i wanted to be using. So one day i brokedown and installed ubuntu on a spare partition.. then i re partitioned my drive to give ubuntu more space, and now XP resides on a small, rarely used partition.. and i use Vbox from ubuntu to run XP stuff lol [02:17] acrousey: oh, then lower it a notch or two [02:17] acrousey: what kind of disc is it? [02:17] keepsake: cd-r [02:17] acrousey only if you've got a cheap disk. [02:17] Apple become America's most admired company [02:18] Microsoft is OUT [02:18] apple? nah.. probally google for most [02:18] acrousey: what are you burning onto the cd? (music/application/movie/etc?) [02:18] and no other tech company in there ... nothing Linux for sure [02:18] though even google isnt always nice [02:18] http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/mostadmired/2008/index.html [02:18] ubuntu [02:18] for friends [02:18] like a live cd [02:19] acrousey: Burn at top speed, but verify the disk. [02:19] how do i verify it? [02:19] acrousey: There should be an option in your burning software. [02:19] ubuntu is nice once you are bored being a linux hacker [02:19] keepsake: i'm using brasero [02:19] ok [02:19] So... will 8.10 be shipping with the Firefox Eula pop-up or will they switch to IceCat? Such a popup will be a real pain for live cd users [02:19] dumbdum: That page has been updated with the simpler instructions (the wiki page) [02:19] keepsake: i'll look for it [02:19] nabcore: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the place to talk about that [02:19] MS will never be out. You may not use it, but many businesses etc rely on it. I am even bound to it professionally. [02:19] filsuf google is a tech company... at number 4... [02:20] yeah [02:20] google is a new evil [02:20] filsuf, agreed [02:20] acrousey: Tools -> Check Integrity after it's been burned [02:20] google's phyton sucks big time [02:20] but people still use it like they use visual-basic [02:20] alright [02:21] filsuf and how many people really know much about Canonical or other Open source providers? [02:21] filsuf, J-n, JackCSG: please take the non-support discussions to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [02:21] More than previously. ;) [02:21] flannel, sorry [02:21] Flannel you are right sorry. [02:21] many windows user also dont know who wrote MS Word or MS Excel [02:21] they'd just say Bill Gates wrote the softwares [02:22] Ah, my bad, just trying to catch up with Jenda. To the off-topic room! [02:22] <^Phantom^> now how can get those cool desktop effects to work? [02:22] many Apple user also wouldnt know who that Woz is [02:22] Does everyone know why I get a "wrong architecture" error message everytime I try to install something from a debian package? [02:22] *anyone [02:22] when i installed it asked me ifknew the moitor type and i said no, I got a new monitor now, (Is there a way to pick a monitor type now)? [02:22] ^Phantom^: install "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm)" in add/remove applications [02:22] Halycon, Are you using 64 or 32 bit? [02:23] ^phantom^ you may not be able to get them to work using virtualbox [02:23] anybody tried to play 'Muslim Massacre' ? [02:23] using wine maybe [02:23] then in System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects to Normal/Extra [02:23] JackCSG, it is a 32 bit machine [02:23] <^Phantom^> thank you much keepsake [02:24] Halycon, What's the architecture of file your are installing? Make sure they match === Nospiests_ is now known as Nospiests [02:24] np [02:24] JackCSG, I got the same error messages for Skype, AcetoneISO2 and now for mdic [02:24] does it matter if ubuntu doesnt know what type of monitor i use? [02:25] is there a repository somewhere with ventrilo server? [02:25] Halycon, are you using Ubuntu and trying to download the Debian versions of the packages? [02:25] droopsta915: probably not, whats it say, Plug N Play or something like that? [02:26] JackCSG, yeah some programs only seem to have a debian installer [02:26] Halycon, what version are you using? [02:26] I have ubuntu running on asus eee pc 901. and I tried to get dual screeen running but it doesnt work. any ideas? Thanks [02:27] gandalfcome what video card? [02:27] Ubuntu 8.04 [02:27] - the Hardy Heron [02:27] Installing Linux on an external drive doesn't put grub on the internal drive right? [02:27] indygunfreak: i just bought a new monitor, it works fine, i was thinking if i made changes in ubuntu the monitor wuld work to its best [02:27] JackCSG, Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron [02:28] i'm trying to add windows to my grub list, but it's located on its own second drive, and i'm not sure which hdwhatever,whatever it is, is there a way to find out? [02:28] J-n: I guess the normal eee pc video card [02:28] Halycon, where are you downloading these from? [02:28] JackCSG, it is directly from the software creators website [02:29] <^Phantom^> i think J-n is right [02:30] halycon, wish I could help but that's a little out of my expertise at the moment, maybe I can punt this question off to someone else? [02:30] <^Phantom^> won't enable desktop effects [02:30] JackCSG, ok thanks for your help [02:30] gandalfcome If you can find out what video card you have it will be much eaiser, if it's nvida manufacture it's one way, and if not it's possibly several other... [02:31] Hi [02:31] I need help using ufw [02:32] ^Phantom^ if you've got the HD space i'd just suggest doing a dual boot with ubuntu as one of the options - you'll like it a heck of a lot more i suspect :) and you'll find those features will work more readily [02:33] ^Phantom^ then soon you'll have windows that burn away when you close them, and a fancy spinning cubic desktop, and all those other fun features :D [02:33] hi [02:34] ^Phantom^ and video editing software will run better too :) [02:35] Can somone help me with ufw [02:35] I want to open a port [02:36] man, the channel is dead [02:36] !lag [02:36] You have lag, I don't have lag [02:37] <^Phantom^> oops [02:37] <^Phantom^> i forgot to read how to get out of seamless mode <_< [02:37] [q] how can I check my powersupply?

[02:39] J-n: I'll try. the funny thing is when I lugged in the xorg.conf in the drivers sections it only said configuredvideodevice. when I used ubutntu you could see which driver it uses that doesnt seem to be the case anymore [02:39] ^phantom^ was right control L for my default install, probally is same for you [02:40] hal_v2 sorry i should have directed that comment at ^phantom^ [02:40] is there any way to get files back that I deleted through the trash, though? [02:40] gandalfcome i'm sure there is a way to find out what card you're using, i just dont know how :( [02:41] Hey, just to be sure, if I install Linux on an external usb hard drive that doesn't install grub to the internal drive right?

[02:47] He's got it, though he would rather be able to bring the hard drive to another computer with a usb bootable bios because he's got more then one computer. [02:47] Via web with Firefox at http://packages.medibuntu.org/hardy/index.html [02:47] apt-get should ahve resolved all dependencies for google earth.. i've never had a prob w/ that.. and actually, i just installed Google Earth like 10min ago.

If you have a router, then its probably your router [02:56] could some one explain to me .. iptables?

I'm in the market to buy a new graphics card for my ubuntu computer. I haven't really followed the area for a very long time but how do nvidia and radeon compare as far as driver support currently? [02:58] tarrant: afaik I think nvidia is better on ubuntu [02:59] thanks that is what I figured. [02:59] NVidia is better by many miles [02:59] tarrant: I'm running radeon and it's... poopoo compared to Windows [02:59] Take your ATi card and throw it out the window [02:59] but i have no other card =( [02:59] Radeon will work on Ubuntu [02:59] gandalfcome i'm gonna guess it's possible [02:59] just dont expect it to do anything fancy [02:59] Cpudan80: It does work, but it's just really slow [02:59] Cpudan80: yeah [02:59] Cpudan80, i thought ATI was better in open source karma? [03:00] kapace: Hell no [03:00] hello all, I was recently compromised, and the attacker was in promiscuous mode for quite a while (probably), and I just need a good ubuntu auditing tool, Im looking for a resource that knows anything about host based auditing [03:00] gandalfcome check out the xorg.conf file see if it's in there [03:00] kapace: ATi is as bad as it gets [03:00] Cpudan80: I'm running fglrx and it's meh to say the most [03:00] cheeky: can you paste your iptables? [03:00] thanks all, Nvidia it is. [03:00] whats this i heard that AMD releasing free open driver or specs? [03:00] J-n: Thanks. ubuntu is really a fantastic operating system but it always had difficulties with dual screen. they should really address this [03:00] its the standard.. nothing on it [03:00] kapace: They've been saying that for 100 years [03:00] Razer: its empty, you need to configure your router [03:00] hah [03:00] amd has released lots of specs for their card [03:00] i see [03:00] kapace: I'll believe it when I see it [03:00] does anyone know of a good dvd making application [03:00] Cpudan80: you're such a hater =P [03:01] kapace: they released some detailed specs -- thats about it [03:01] danbh_intrepid1, but it wasn't a problem with my last ubuntu install [03:01] danbh_intrepid1: could i pase it in a prvt message or here is fine? [03:01] mm [03:01] kapace Cpudan80 : radeonhd [03:01] vbman11: k3b [03:01] gandalfcome if you had an nvidia card it's very simple [03:01] testing123 [03:01] kapace Cpudan80 it's part of X.org [03:01] keepsake: Yep - I wont ever buy an ATi unless I am forced to [03:01] danbh_intrepid1, which was this morning [03:01] kitche: Radeonhd? [03:01] tarrant: in repo? [03:01] gandalfcome i agree though 100% thats an area i'd like to see improved as well [03:01] I got dual screen to work, but I had to manually set it every time, [03:01] cheeky: either paste.ubuntu.com or a pm [03:01] hey guys. I have a problem probably related to X11. In any sdl game, such as sauerbraten or urban terror, if I use the scroll wheel it makes the mouse go whacky. This doesn't happen when I hold a key while scrolling and it is fixed by pressing keys on the keyboard [03:01] vbman11: yea its technically a kde program though. [03:01] keepsake: it's what the driver is called it works with the Radeon HD cards [03:02] tarrant: ok then, thanks! [03:02] gandalfcome: i guess thats a matter of opinion... i setup dual screens in about 2min. [03:02] kitche: Really? Can you link me? (I have an HD2400Pro =\) [03:02] IndyGunFreak: Laptop or desktop? [03:02] gandalfcome: desktop [03:02] keepsake: it's part of X.org [03:02] hello all. im wondering if there is a way i can get all the pictures and videos off my razr cellphone [03:02] i guess im running kubuntu so i should be in #kubuntu but i remember this happening on regular old ubuntu as well [03:02] Razer: then I don''t know, sorry [03:03] tarrant: will it make dvd menus? [03:03] kitche: I'm afraid I don't understand, sorry =\ [03:03] IndyGunFreak: I guess that works. But laptops I always had problems. On my macbook I just plugin the secondary monitor and it detects it. I think for ubuntu to succeed it needs to have these little things to work.

[03:03] gandalfcome: wel, i guess i'll remember that if i ever decide to lug a monitor around w/ my laptop [03:04] can anyone help me adding windows to grub? i tried to add it but when i click windows it just blinks [03:04] kitche: I see, thanks. [03:04] kitche: Is it better than fglrx/proprietary right now? [03:04] google is your friend sixth :D [03:04] keepsake: no clue I m an nvidia person myself [03:04] IndyGunFreak: A tip for that: gaffa tape works wonders when taping the secondary monitor to the laptop :-) [03:04] teddy__: ive saw google. [03:05] kitche: Okay, thanks. [03:05] we arent really friends =[ [03:05] keepsake: ati is not that great with the games I play really since both cards do different things [03:05] sixth: im sure there are loads of results on that, because ive searched for the same thing before [03:05] keepsake: only if you don't like 3d :) [03:05] sixth: i can find you a link if you want [03:05] teddy__: but i have a problem, it didnt all went straight, im looking for troubleshooting, not the tutorial [03:06] hello what is the difference between embedded and liveCD? [03:06] kitche: Haha, okay. [03:06] How can I disable the xinerama extension completely (without recompiling)? xdpyinfo lists XINERAMA despite having << Option "Xinerama" "0" >> in my ServerFlags in xorg.conf. [03:06] jrib: why are you trying to? [03:07] does anyone here use QDVD Author? [03:08] im having problems with it [03:08] vbman11 i tried it so many times! [03:08] and vbman11 ... same for me :( [03:08] Realcoolguy: got it to work? [03:08] ohh [03:08] heloooo [03:08] dang it [03:08] danbh_intrepid1, how would I configure my router? [03:08] vbman11: not quite the way i wanted it too... eventually i had to settle on not having menus or something [03:08] jrib: the Xinerama protocol (not the largely obsolete X server infrastructure) is used by all implementations of multiscreen (XRandR 1.2 and nvidia's twinview) to tell applications the layout of the physical monitors [03:09] Realcoolguy: i can't even get it to read my video file [03:09] hi [03:09] hmm [03:09] Razer: mmmm, run ifconfig, and enter the ip address of your router into firefox. Log into your router, and poke around the settings [03:10] jrib: historically X has used a one Screen per monitor model, so when Xinerama was introduced, we had a single Screen consisting of two monitors for the first time, so they had to invent something new :) [03:10] jrib: did you try using the ubuntu tools to turn it off [03:10] crdlb: I m pretty sure jrid knows all about Xinerama :) [03:10] bah jrib [03:10] danbh_intrepid1, I don't think I have a log-in for my router === dextone is now known as De[X]tone [03:11] Razer: can you get to the login page? [03:11] is it linksys? [03:12] crdlb: heh, ok. qlite window manager checks for xinerama using xlib's Display.has_extension(). I don't use it, so it makes a stupid assumption. I'm assuming has_extension() would not return True for xinerama if I disabled it somehow, but this doesn't seem to happen. So I was wondering if there was a different way to disable it [03:12] razer, you can hold down the reset button for 10 sec's on your router, and it will reset... [03:12] Razer: In your browser go to http://192.168.1.1 and see if that works. [03:12] if you cant get in [03:13] jrib: you could try using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:13] jrib: I'm not sure, but disabling XRandR (or twinview) might do it [03:13] kitche, crdlb: possibly relevant: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2007-November/002484.html [03:13] can anyone help me adding windows to grub? i tried to add it but when i click windows it just blinks [03:13] m0rning guys... === De[X]tone is now known as dextone [03:14] sixth: Pastebin your menu.lst please. [03:14] keepsake, it's asking for a username and password and I never knew that [03:14] Razer: try "admin" as password and nothing in username [03:15] Razer who is the manufacturer for your router? also look on the bottom default pw's may be there as well. [03:16] J-n, linksys and I got it to work [03:16] bobertdos: http://sixth.pastebin.com/d79b425d1 [03:16] keepsake, ty [03:16] Razer: np =P [03:17] razer cool :) [03:17] keepsake, now how do I enable my incoming TCP port? [03:17] crdlb: I'll give it a try to see if it gives me some more pointers, thanks [03:17] how do I find out how much RAM a computer with Ubuntu on it has? [03:17] the command [03:17] Razer: I'm not too great with port forwarding, you'll have to ask around, sorry [03:17] SebNaitsabes: free -m [03:17] Razer: Try going to the "Applications and Gaming" tab if you have it [03:18] keepsake, I'm there, now what? [03:18] jrib: thanks, but I am not entirely sure how to make sense of the output [03:19] SebNaitsabes: the first number on the top left is how much ram it has [03:19] jrib: toal 249 [03:19] Razer: Figure out the port you need [03:19] Razer: And put it into the thing [03:19] jrib: so yeah, Xorg always has the Xinerama protocol available (sometimes called "Fakerama") because XRandR can add a monitor at any time [03:19] How can I find the character 0xfeff in a file? [03:19] keepsake, I need port 51413 open [03:20] jrib: do you have any idea this window manager is testing for xinerama? [03:20] idea why* [03:20] Razer: Type in an aplication [03:20] Razer: Put 51413 in both start/end [03:20] Razer: Check enable [03:20] crdlb: hmm, I see. It's probably better to change the way it tests. The author uses xinerama so I assume it was never tested otherwise :) It really just needs to know how many screens I have [03:20] Razer: You might want to google "port forwarding linksys" [03:20] Razer: I'm not too good with this [03:20] keepsake, application? [03:21] sixth: First of all, are you certain Windows is on the first partition of the first hard drive? Also, between root and makeactive, it is sometimes useful to add savedefault. Oh, and Windows entries generally go outside the automagic list. [03:21] Razer: It doesn't really matter [03:21] Question: I am attempting to resetup GRUB on my dual boot, but i am getting an error when following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows (step 4's find command). Can anyone give me any clues on whats wrong? Error: "Error 15: File not found" [03:21] Razer: It's just so you know what you're opening the port for. [03:21] sixth: but more than anything, we need to be sure you're pointing to the right partition [03:21] anyone here know how to upgrade a linux kernel in *buntu?

I removed ubuntu, installed windows (i needed to move windows to sd2 or it wouldn't format), and at the moment my boot is on sd1.. but GRUB refuses to do anything. Any ideas? [03:29] canal do ubuntu [03:29] r00t__: generally, transcoding from one lossy codec to another results in allot of quality loss (ie mp3 -> ogg). So its better to just reroll the mp3 to a different bitrate [03:29] r00t__: but the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so ... [03:30] I've seen the commands "find /boot/grub/stage1" and "find /grub/stage1" and neither is found by GRUB. Any help? [03:30] bobertdos: what is the automagic box?

[03:34] well you will need sonewhere to instyall the grubs stage 2 files [03:34] J-n: I believe that the difference is that synaptic is fully powered while add/remove program is for your average non-geek.

[03:35] v3ctor: Yet, i'll be installing that soon (probably tomorrow, its late and i need to sleep for work) [03:35] <[Neurotic]> Hi, I'm trying to debug a kernel panic I can reproduce with iwl4965, and I can get it to show in the alt+ctrl+f1 console, but its too big for my screen, so I can't see it all. Is there anyway I can push it to a file? [03:35] v3ctor: I had to remove linux to get stupid ass windows to work. It didn't like being the 6th partition. [03:35] ... [03:36] Leefmcz: you need to have it there to get grub to work properly [03:36] v3ctor: If i install Ubuntu into my ubuntu partition, will it fix the GRUB thing? [03:36] if it overwrites the boot record, yeah [03:36] jrgp: Well, will it? [03:37] it will install grub, in doing so it will set it up for your newly installed ubuntu and it will alsom most likely detect your windows partition too [03:37] if it is still working [03:37] Leefmcz it will because it will reinstall the grub files in /boot/grub [03:37] it will fix grub, and if you get lucky it will detect your windows and add that [03:37] k, thanks. I'll install ubuntu again :) [03:37] you won't regret it :) [03:37] I was just trying to avoid the install time [03:37] Leefmcz at the moment the stage one of grub is looking for them and they dont exist [03:38] Leefmcz otherwise your options are to fix the windows bootloader [03:38] jrgp: No trust me, im not leaving ubuntu. I kept my /home partition. I just wanted 20gig of windows for gaming, thats all [03:38] Leefmcz: you could learn the grub command line [03:38] Leefmcz and why do you need 6 partitions? [03:38] I seem to be having a problem getting wireless working. It *was* working okay, but now I don't seem to be able to get a response from DHCP servers. This is the third network I've had the problem with, which would seem to rule out a problem with the router/WAP. [03:39] what command do I do to find out the wireless card I have? [03:39] koshar1: I forget how many it was exactly, but there was a boot, os, swap, /home, umm.. and somethin else, iirc [03:39] koshar1: Windows wouldn't format, it said there were too many partitions. [03:39] keepsake, :'( port still closed [03:39] koshar1: I had to put windows on the 2nd partition [03:41] Leefmcz, if I were you I'd wipe the drive, install windows first, then install ubuntu; that'd probably make your situation easier to get out of === crackhead_25 is now known as xjohnthomasx [03:41] jrgp: Blech, no time. If this works so be it, if not, then i need to copy a ton of data off of my /home [03:42] Leefmcz: What are you doing? [03:42] I'd have that data backed up first, before you do anything [03:42] Can anybody help me troubleshoot my disappearing wireless? === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [03:42] keepsake, do you see anything wrong with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/47057/ ? [03:42] Flannel: Making a mess of things, because windows is lame. :) [03:42] Leefmcz: Ah. Yeah, that happens. [03:42] theres no need for a windows channel to discuss problems [03:43] Flannel: The story is long, but basically i had a ton of partitions (boot, home, swap, etc), and windows wouldn't install when it was the 6th partition. it said too many. So i removed my os partition, and put windows on that. Well now my GRUB is hosed, so im trying to install ubuntu [03:43] Flannel: Install ubuntu, to fix GRUB. [03:43] Leefmcz: ah, yeah. Windows doesn't like being on a non-primary partition [03:44] Flannel: So sd1 is boot, sd2 is windows, sd3 / is ubuntu.. which im trying to do now. [03:44] Flannel: I hate windows. :) [03:45] Leefmcz: If that doesn't work plain, you can map windows to think its sda1 [03:45] Help! I can't get the mail notification sound in Evolution to work. I have read the forums and researched google but nothing has worked. I am using version 2.22.3.1 of Evolution on a Dell Inspiron 1420. I am using Alsa also. The file is .wav and can be heard using a media player. Please someone help me. I don't want to go back to Vista. [03:46] Flannel: Question, i saved my /home, but im installing ubuntu now. However, im giving the OS partition a mapping of /, do i need to give my home partition a /home mount? I'm afraid of touching that partition, in fear of losing data [03:46] Scruffy00: rofl all because of a mail sound wow [03:46] Leefmcz: Yeah, In the partitioner you say "use this partition as /home, but don't format it" [03:46] , yes you do [03:46] /close [03:46] If I am going to switch I would like to have everything working. [03:46] Scruffy00: can't get enough of that AOL mail notification, eh? [03:46] Flannel: What about the others? Does boot need /boot, or swap need any mount, etc? [03:47] Leefmcz, no [03:47] those can stay under the / partition [03:47] wqait [03:47] not swap [03:47] the others yes [03:47] Nah, Dr. Who. I have to have the sound because I am away from my desk and sometimes an important e-mail comes that I will need. [03:47] Leefmcz: Are you going to be using them as separate partitions? or getting rid of them as separate? (moving them under /) andyes, you need swap [03:48] Flannel: They're already separate partitions, im just asking if they all need mount points. So far the only mount points i have defined are /home and / [03:48] hye [03:48] Leefmcz: If you want to use them, yes, you'll specify that during the partition stage. [03:49] my sound isn't working, it was very recently, i have no idea why and didn't change anything. ideas? [03:49] Flannel: Well do i need to specify mounts for a boot and swap partitions? Those are the only others [03:49] what is the antivirus in ubuntu [03:49] Leefmcz: yes. Well, swap just gets marked as swap, it doesn't really have a mount point. [03:49] fLufyz, ubuntu does not typtically need anti virus [03:49] Hm, dmesg has lines saying: "ipw2200: Failed to send SYSTEM_CONFIG: Already sending a command" [03:49] fLufyz: you really dont need one [03:49] hi [03:50] oohh..ok.. [03:50] fLufyz, only windows needs anti virus [03:50] thanx jrgp & Cpudan80 [03:50] np [03:50] fLufyz: In fact, the one time I did try AV for Ubuntu, it actually corrupted my installation. [03:50] I has just GTalk in empathy?how can i add msn to it? [03:50] Flannel: So boot is a mount of /boot then? Also, How do i mount the home partition? It says i have to choose a file system before i can mount, is that fine? (Ie, will choosing a file system format it? Again, i really need to protect the data on my home partition) [03:50] jrgp: wrong. Linux users are just as vulnerable to virii [03:50] Flannel: Just dont check format and im fine? [03:51] bot "just as: [03:51] So apparently I am on my own? [03:51] torvalds, you wouldn't happen to be......? [03:51] jrgp: yes. [03:51] jrgp: how else would I get this nick? [03:51] torvalds: luck [03:51] indeed [03:52] would torvalds really hang out in the ubuntu channel? [03:52] Leefmcz: why are you against formatting /boot? [03:52] bobertdos, thanks alot :) [03:52] i dont think so [03:52] what is difference between gnome and xfce? [03:52] I don't go on IRC often. I'm just here to say hi to the community. [03:52] xfce looks a little different and uses a lot less resources [03:52] Beck: how the look and feel [03:52] but is less feature packed [03:53] Beck: try kde ;) [03:53] torvalds, speak swedish ;) [03:53] Flannel: Im not, im against formatting /home, but i think i got it worked out. I was asking before i tried it. Seems if you select efi, it doesn't give you control over formatting or mount point. So all is well i think :) [03:53] torvalds, is it better? [03:53] Flannel: Sounds good aye? [03:53] sixth: Everything's working? [03:53] alright for the life of me I can not figure out how to make normal audio go through the coax digital out on this computer [03:53] Leefmcz: Just make sure home is marked as used, but not format, yes. [03:53] it has an nforce chipset [03:53] <^Phantom^> Okay, back [03:53] i have a printer that prints only test pages and stuff from smb... on normal (gedit) prints says on the LCD is "Flushing Buffer" [03:53] and I do have the iec thing checked in gnome [03:53] chubs_: God kväll [03:53] but still nothing [03:53] <^Phantom^> now, my last question [03:54] Flannel: Well format is NOT checked. Thats for sure, i saw nothing that said "used" or anything. I assigned it to /home, and gave it a type of ext3 (which it already was). Format is not checked. All good? [03:54] can someone please help me with this issue [03:54] Leefmcz: That's correct. Givign it a mountpoint means "use this" [03:54] k [03:54] media don't feel bad all I got was mocked when I asked for help. [03:54] Some of the google hits I'm seeing are related to wpa2, which reminds me that I was trying to get onto a wpa2 network the other night. Does anybody know how I'd make absolutely sure my wireless isn't trying to go into wpa2 mode? [03:54] wonderful [03:55] Can anyone help me troubleshoot my sound? Everything is exactly as it was when it was working recently, except it just doesn't work. [03:55] fallore: Did you try rebooting? [03:55] Ubuntu är ett shitty Distro för noobs. Ni alla suger din mammas nipplar [03:55] Flannel: Here goes hehe, afk for a few [03:55] puff: not yet, guess i should lol :X [03:55] fallore, try changing the settings in alsamixer [03:55] fallore: If it comes back after a reboot, you're having a lock contention issue. [03:55] <^Phantom^> How do I go about mounting my shared folder "C:\ubuntu" in ubuntu? [03:55] Can anyone give me a link on going from windows ->ubuntu? All I've found is very simple guides like this is 'root' etc. I'm looking for something more in depth, thanks =) [03:55] hi i want to know how to i use the Huawei E220 USB modem for Ubuntu 10 [03:55] fallore : maybe your sound in mute mode [03:55] <--XPS1330 running ubuntu 8.04 32bit any idea if I can run 64bit [03:56] fallore: you shoulodn't have to reboot in linux :-). But in this case, a common cause of disappearing sound is sound card resource lock contention. [03:56] <^Phantom^> Through the vbox [03:56] im in Malaysia and my service provider is Maxis [03:56] fallore: Though, yeah, you should check alsamixer and make sure your sound isn't muted it. [03:56] smm289: what kind of processor does your computer have? [03:56] ^Phantom^, read vbox manual :P [03:56] puff: it's not muted. what do i do about the sound card resource lock contention? [03:57] Is this bad? http://pastebin.com/m36005458 [03:57] mm: Core2Duo T7500 2.2 [03:57] puff: actually pc speaker was muted but i changed it and nothing happened [03:57] What's the best way to secure the transmission web UI? It cames standard with the password but of course that's sent plain text, is there and way to secure this connection a bit better? [03:57] https? [03:57] I am wondering if an update killed my spidif out because it used to work but not anymore [03:57] vpn [03:57] Winston_SmithVT: Do you have control of both ends? [03:57] thinking about reinstalling and not updating [03:57] lol [03:57] then it should work [03:57] devin : try to create new dialer instead of using from given one [03:57] fallore: Are you by any chance using ACPI? [03:57] torvalds the average user needs to get into linux somehow, and sadly most distro's aren't average user friendly. I'd agree though it's more for a person just weening themselves from the M$ teat. [03:57] Winston_SmithVT: Oh "transmission" I see. nevermind. [03:57] puff: i'm not sure, what is it/how do i check? [03:58] J-n: He's gone. [03:58] oh well [03:58] Flannel: Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I wanna use it from anyplace [03:58] set up vpn [03:58] fallore: Well, you reboot to see if that's the problem. If it is, there are solutions, alsa daemon being one of them, but I'm not certain what the current best solution is. [03:58] fallore: ls /proc/acpi [03:58] there is a link here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Huawei [03:58] J-n, probably wasn't linus either ;) [03:58] wng_z3r0: Can I use a VPN from a public computer? wouln't I need the VPN cleint? [03:58] My RAIDed HDD is making a noise, I think it might be failing. But I don't understand this: http://pastebin.com/m36005458 [03:59] but it says Vodaphone can it be generic to other providers [03:59] Flannel: Next time i setup an os though, i'm leaving the 2nd and maybe even 3rd partitions empty for another OS. :o [03:59] I use a wireless router to connect to the internet...recently, every time I start the computer, I need to go into Network, unlock, then re-enter the wireless password.... [03:59] I [03:59] puff: what should show up? i've got a list of things and some are blue [03:59] puff: i'm going to restart real quick to test the other thing, brb [03:59] fallore: Main reason I ask is because there might be volume status under /proc somewhere, but I"m using an ibm with acpi, so I don't know. [03:59] m trying to install hardy on a Macbook and it succeeded but GRUB won't work! I'm in the live CD and am trying to finish installing GRUB, what can I do? [03:59] fallore: less /proc/acpi/ibm/volume [04:00] ola [04:00] with 320GB hard drive, 4GB ram... 1) how big should / be? 2) how big should swap be? 3) what order should it be partitioned in? /, /home, swap? [04:00] lymeca: Was it a full install? Im on a mac pro with no problems [04:00] puff: no such file or directory. restarting brb [04:00] Winston_SmithVT: It depends on what you want to do. Most popular web browsers can use vpn right out of the box, you just need to set it up [04:00] arooni: How much RAM do you have? [04:00] Geoffrey2-> you can put that as an entry in your /etc/network/interfaces so no need to retype all every reboot [04:00] arooni: Oh [04:00] is there a cpu-z for linux [04:00] arooni: Is this a desktop or a laptop? [04:00] !cpu-z [04:00] Does anybody know how I make absolutely certain my wireless isn't trying to use wpa or anything? [04:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about cpu-z [04:00] alright I am off to reinstall [04:01] bbl maybe [04:01] :D [04:01] Flannel, desktop [04:01] wng_z3r0: The local computer is locked down, can't change settings you can only browse pretty much. I can't even use a USB stick on this computer i'm worried about. [04:01] amenado, I'm just rather confused as to why the Network Settings manager wouldn't save that for me automatically [04:01] puff anything? [04:01] arooni: 4G swap tops (likely less). Since you've got 320G, you can splurge a little and give yourself like 30G for / and then /home for the rest. I'd go / /home swap (this also means you can reduce your swap later, and merge some with home) [04:01] Geoffrey2-> command line options is not saved [04:02] amenado: Hm? [04:02] !fstab [04:02] 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 [04:02] Ubuntu is stuck on a very small screen res, and telnet sucks for IRC. [04:02] Okay, would anyone be gracious enough to help a guy who is having trouble with the mail notification in Evolution? [04:03] puff you stated anything..what do you mean? [04:03] SmoothPorcupine: why are you using telnet?

[04:03] Scruffy00, ditch eveloution and try thunderbird? [04:03] Scruffy00 i'd be happy to but i do not use evolution. i'm sorry. [04:03] amenado, I'm not doing this from the command line...this is the wlan0 properties menu, which has entries for the password type, and a place to enter the password.... [04:04] Scruffy00, I second jrgp's suggestion :D [04:04] thanks Flannel [04:04] I have 32bit 8.04 installed and im pretty happy with my settings, would I have to completly start over if I wanted to install the 64bit version [04:04] ^Phantom^, it's a cd/dvd image format [04:04] If mustafa_kaya comes back because he already got a driver and still cant get on the internet, have him get the firmware he need from here: http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php plzz [04:04] smm289: short answer, stick with 32bit [04:04] smm289: You'd have to reinstall. That doesn't necessarily mean lose your settings. [04:04] I would like to use thunderbird but I like the PDA features with Evolution. If I use Thunderbird is there a program to handle my calendar and contacts the way Evolution does? [04:04] Geoffrey2-> well as you already knew, it does not keep it permanent, so you must edit the interfaces file [04:04] Scruffy00, sunbird [04:04] Scruffy00, yes, check out thunderbird's addons [04:05] Lightning, not Sunbird [04:05] Scruffy00: or within thunderbird, you can use the lightning extension [04:05] <^Phantom^> k thx [04:05] <^Phantom^> cause i can't find my win98 cd [04:05] Can anyone help me with my soundcard problem? [04:05] amenado: Please be helpful or try not to add to the confusion.

Will the PDA software that comes with Gnome work that way with Thunderbird? [04:06] smm289, boot to an ubuntu cd, wipe the drive, and reinstall [04:06] puff am not, just make sure your statements are clear.. [04:06] <^Phantom^> i can only find a .daa format image in torrent format [04:06] I can get OSS to work, but not ALSA, it cannot find my soundcard now [04:07] 1 [04:07] amenado: Given the context, it's quite clear what "anything" means. [04:07] wow, hows that going to keep everything the same as I have it right now. For example, can I make a backup that would allow me to setup ubuntu on a new hard drive but with all of the applications and settings I currently have [04:07] did any buddy ever had problems with fast user switch, some times it does not come back to gdm nor the pop up windows asking the password, it goes to terminal...

[04:08] whats the difference between using && and ; to separate commands? [04:09] ^phantom^ use poweriso to decode, translate, or burn a .daa file [04:09] kapace, && makes sure the first one works before going onto the second [04:09] Scruffy00: Ah, okay, if that's what you're doing, maybe we should try helping you with Evolution :p [04:09] amenado: It's cool, if you don't know, that's okay. [04:09] thanks jrgp [04:09] That would be great bobertdos. [04:09] amenado: But thank you for at least confirming that other people can hear me :-). [04:10] fallore: Okay, so the basic fix for the problem - which is that the hardware only provides one sound resource lock and the OS can't release it, so the first app to request it has a monopoly on it - is to insert a layer of software between the hardware and everything else. Used to be this was a package called esd, then IIRC, alsa superceded that. I think that's still the current solution. [04:10] fallore: But I' [04:10] Scruffy00: I'm googling and I'm beginning to see that Treo's and Thunderbird haven't been mixing so well. [04:10] fallore: But I'm on a borrowed laptop, so until I fix my wireless I can't give you more help. [04:10] puff: alright, thanks, i'll look into it [04:11] bobertdos: I noticed that too. I am dual booting with Vista, but I don't like Outlook and I really am not fond of Vista. I like Evolution and like Ubuntu, but I need the mail notification to work because I am not always around my laptop and sometimes I need to know when an e-mail arrives. [04:12] <^Phantom^> i want to try vboxing winvista now :D === PV_Away is now known as PrivateVoid [04:13] can you use wireless in ubuntu ? [04:13] feng_: I'm actually looking for help wtih that :-). [04:13] <^Phantom^> would it work in xp? [04:13] yes , [04:13] feng_: But generally, yes. [04:13] feng_: sure. How easy it is depend on what wifi chip you have though [04:13] intel 3945 [04:13] Scruffy00: Unfortunately, not having used Evolution much, I don't know how much help I can be. [04:14] feng_: that should work out of the box [04:14] i've tried several times [04:14] scruffy00 do you have the plugin enabled? [04:14] i'm not sure [04:14] bobertdos: I appreciate the effort though. I just wish I knew what to do. [04:15] feng_: All the drivers and whatnot are present and loaded for those. All you need to do is set up your wifi lan in network manager [04:15] all done in ubuntu but wireless chip , [04:15] J-n: Do you mean by going in to Edit>Plugins>finding Mail Notification and making sure the box is checked? [04:15] feng_: what version of Ubuntu? [04:15] scruffy00 yeah [04:15] 8.04 [04:16] J-n: yeah, the box has been checked [04:16] what does it mean [04:16] feng_: then it should work fine [04:16] Scruffy00: Let me just ask you this, what would be the ideal notification for you? [04:17] <^Phantom^> is it possible to vbox vista on xp? [04:17] Flannel: You awake? [04:17] A sound of somekind. Currently in Vista I have a sound from Dr. Who. That way it's distinct. I work at a radio station so I need something to stand out. [04:17] jrgp: You awake? [04:17] i just copied .mozilla-thunderbird from my old home, now when i start hunderbird it says its already running. i need to delete a journal file or something, right? [04:18] any help appreciated [04:18] every time I turn on the computer, I need to go into Network Settings, and manually reenter the WPA passkey in the wlan0 properties window, this USED to be handled automatically, now it isn't....the problem seems to have started when I switched from Roaming mode to specifying a specific wireless network to connect to [04:18] Geoffrey2: isn't there a checkbox to save it? [04:18] If I use Home User Backup, and I have to replace a hard-drive, I just install ubuntu on the new drive and then use Home User Restore. Then will everything be put back to the way it was before the failure. I dont mean data I mean EVERYTHING [04:19] Geoffrey2: /etc/network/interfaces is not too hard to setup, maybe you should try that [04:19] i just copied .mozilla-thunderbird from my old home, now when i start hunderbird it says its already running. i think i need to delete a file that thunderbird makes [04:19] sucks for roaming though [04:19] while it's running. any ideas? [04:20] LSD, I'm getting the impression the problem is that the keyring is not unlocking...when I go into the wlan0 properties menu it shows a password already saved, when I re-enter the password, THEN I get a prompt for the password to unlock the master keyring.... [04:20] Scruffy00: That's what I was thinking........Evolution should be able to do sound. Let me see....... === vwo765 is now known as ctt755 [04:21] danbh_intrepid, actually, interfaces already appears to be set up........ [04:21] which IDE of C++ you often use in ubuntu?

Google suggests this is a problem with xp's boot.ini, anyone have a good solution? === ctt755 is now known as Politics [04:22] which IDE of C++ you often use in ubuntu? [04:22] which IDE of C++ you often use in ubuntu? [04:22] ... [04:22] feng_: Probably emacs :-). [04:22] feng- anjuta [04:22] geany [04:22] feng_: But eclipse is quite popular in the java world and I know it has C++ support as well. [04:22] emacs, geany. [04:22] eclipse more and more lately [04:23] anjuta some, too [04:23] Hello [04:23] does anyone have experience with ubuntu under tha sony vaio platform? [04:23] i'd like code autocomplete ide [04:23] the* [04:23] pw - no, but what's the problem [04:23] Leefmc: What's up? Best to just ask. [04:24] feng_: Use monodevelop [04:24] pw-: i have. installed on a SZ- series [04:24] wireless card drivers, louie_, i googled it, seems to be a common problem, drivers don't work properly, some have gotten it to work, no one explains how [04:24] feng_: C++ in eclipse sucks because of the way it tries to do compilation (ie every time you save) [04:24] daklan, this is the NR series [04:24] I am trying to run a cron task but for some reason nothing is happening. I used the crontab -e command set the cron task to 15 and 30 minutes, then used /etc/init.d/cron restart to get it to work but nothing is happening [04:24] why is the standard version of transmission used in Ubuntu so old? [04:24] LSD|Ninja, here's the contents of the interfaces file, minus the password, obviously..... http://pastebin.ca/1203040 [04:24] pw-: might be different hardware. wireless card worked out of the box for me [04:24] That may have changed with a newer plugin, but monodevelop is supposed to be the equivalent of Visual C++ feng_ [04:24] pw - have you tired the new alpha 5 [04:25] i've tried them ,but seem not so good [04:25] Flannel: Already did :p [04:25] has anyone had a problem with sound working/ not working with flash such as youtube in ubuntu?

Google suggests this is a problem with xp's boot.ini, anyone have a good solution? [04:25] louie_, i have not, what is it? [04:25] pw-: what is the device? [04:25] the new version of ubuntu that's comming out oct. 30th [04:25] When I update a package with apt-get, does it overwrite the files in /etc? If so, does it keep a backup automatically? [04:25] Leefmc: That is entirely an XP thing yes. You've handed the boot off to windows, and its... doing whatever it does. [04:26] IndyGunFreak, let me find out [04:26] iwant anet cut program on ubuntu? [04:26] Flannel: Bummer [04:26] prog077: what wifi chip do you have? [04:26] Flannel: Imma try somethin then, bbl, wish me luck [04:26] prog077: ignore that [04:26] pw-: what wifi chip do you have? [04:26] veritos: It shouldn't overwrite anything, because they'll already be there. If you make changes, it'll try and merge/ask you about merging said changes (but changes shouldn't matter) [04:26] hello there [04:26] Does EeeUbuntu work well for the 1000h model of Eee PC? [04:26] LSD|Ninja, IndyGunFreak: Atheros (AR5006EG) [04:27] pw-: is that how lspci identifies it? [04:27] i use intel 3945 wifi chip ,but it doesn't work well [04:27] brody, $ sudo apt-get install libflashsupport [04:27] Flam: 1000H has a hard drive, you shouldn't have to bother with cut-down stuff on it [04:27] danbh_intrepid, I pasted my interfaces file, minus the actual passkey, could you look and see if anything looks out of place? http://pastebin.ca/1203040 [04:27] veritos: er, changes shouldn't be big changes, not changes shouldn't matter. [04:27] Flannel: Thanks. Do I need to run anything special to merge them, or does it ask right away? [04:27] only i'm gonna ask you if you know about lhc [04:27] Scruffy00 this guy says he's got a python script that fixes the sound notification problems in evolution- check it out - http://thpinfo.com/2007/hacks/ i hope it helps. [04:27] veritos: It shouldn't have any changes (except when upgrading from Ubuntu version to Ubuntu version) [04:27] IndyGunFreak, i'm not sure, i googled my laptop and got that, to find out through linux i'd have to run the live CD, then boot back into windows [04:28] please check it lhc [04:28] 3945 is fine, problem is likely between keyboard and chair :P [04:28] J-n: I will take a look at it. Thanks. [04:28] I am a junior on ubuntu and a very slow speed Internet [04:28] see you latter alligator [04:28] k, all of a sudden, my printer stopped working, unless it has PS 2 filtering, what could cause this? [04:28] Scruffy00 might be outdated tho, dunno. [04:28] pw-: it would proably help.. boot to Ubuntu, open a termianl and run "lspci"... no quotes.. and write down exactly how it identifies the device [04:28] ok, let me get in here with the desktop PC, and run the liveCD on the laptop [04:29] physically_fit - k thanks man [04:29] pw-: ok === FrozenFire__ is now known as FrozenFire [04:29] Scruffy00 if it's any consolation, i spent this time setting up evolution so i could see if i could get the sound notification to work, and it seems when i click "Test" as well, i get no sound either. [04:29] Is there a reason OpenGL would stop working properly after running a "Fix X Server" in Hardy? [04:29] LSD|Ninja: I want something that works well out of the box, that's the thing. If Eeeubuntu is tailored for Eees and comes prepackaged with it's drivers - im happy [04:30] J-n: I am glad that I am not the only one. How do I use the script or install it.... [04:30] if it's too cut down i can download stuff after it installs [04:30] physically_fit -yea thanks man it works now [04:30] cool [04:30] Scruffy00 GOK lol [04:30] pw-: That's one of the later ones that the version of madwifi in Hardy doesn't support. It should be supported come Intrepid though so if you can hold out a few more weeks you should be good [04:30] Scruffy00: You still here? [04:30] later all [04:30] bobertdos: I am here [04:31] LSD|Ninja: i was messing w/ Intrepid today, it doesn't support my atheros chipset yet(Ar242x) [04:31] Scruffy00: took a long time, but I found the settubg [04:31] LSD|Ninja, intrepid being 8.10? [04:31] pw--: yeah [04:31] ok thank you, i can hold out =) [04:31] bobertdos: what is that? [04:32] pw--: you can probalby get it working under hardy if you want to try.... [04:32] Geoffrey2: ok, maybe I dont know about your setup. I set mine up differently [04:32] IndyGunFreak, still loading up the liveCD =) [04:32] It's under Edit->Plugins->Mail Notification->Configuration tab [04:32] like i said, i messed w/ Intrepid a while today, and couldnt get my wireless going. [04:32] Now you made me nervous... should I install regular ubuntu on my eeepc 1000h? [04:32] IndyGunFreak: you can get the drivers Intrepid will be using backported to Hardy but it's kinda messy [04:32] bobertdos: okay, let me take a look. [04:32] anyone? [04:32] this is a left field noob question, if overly stupid please ignore: is it possible to mount an existing NTFS partition to /home [04:33] danbh_intrepid, ok, thanks for trying... [04:33] LSD|Ninja: well, i was trying to make it work w/ madwifi under Intrepid, the way I did under hardy, and that was no joy. [04:33] pw--: you can mount it, not sure if you can mount it to /home though [04:33] pw--: as /home, no. Into /home, sure [04:33] ah, hmm [04:33] bobertdos: okay, what am I looking for? [04:33] Geoffrey2: you are doing wpa-something for all your directives. In mine, I do wireless-directive where directive matches something from iwconfig [04:34] Scruffy00: Well, there should be a checkbox there for playing sound upon message arrival. [04:34] Geoffrey2: "s/wpa/wireless/g" [04:35] Geoffrey2: but, I wass looking through the man pages, and I couldnt find clear information [04:35] IndyGunFreak, i'm sorry, the log where you told me the command was on another IRC client which i closed, could you please repeat it? [04:35] bobertdos: I see it, and I have had the box checked. J-n sent me to a web sit with a python script, but I don't know what to do with it. [04:35] pw--: lspci and see how it identifies your wireless chipset [04:35] danbh_intrepid, the thing is, I didn't set any of this up, Ubuntu created that file for me..... [04:35] thank you [04:36] bobertdos if you are at that window yourself, select a soundfile and click test, i tried it out myself and it's not working for me either, dont' need/want it.. but something does seem amiss [04:36] Geoffrey2: ah, the critical flaw of linux. documentation!!!!!! [04:36] is there a way to reserve desktop space so that maximized windows don't fill that area? [04:36] Is there a reason OpenGL would break after running a "Fix X Server" under Hardy? [04:36] danbh_intrepid, it probably doesn't help that I'm having ubuntu auto login instead of giving me a login screen every time I start up [04:37] Scruffy00: Well , see if it works normally for you first. If it doesn't, I wonder if it might be because Evolution has issues with Pulse..........just a guess. [04:37] J-n: I've downloaded the python script that was on the website you sent me to. How do I install it or get it to where it needs to be? [04:37] IndyGunFreak, Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [04:37] pw--: that device is pretty easy actually, are you using 32bit or 64bit? [04:37] 32bit. [04:37] Scruffy00 i'm sorry.. i dont really know, reaching the limit of my exp here. [04:37] pw--: its honestly extremely easy(i'm using it right now) [04:38] \o/ [04:38] bobertdos: It doesn't play a sound for me, I want to try the python script, and if that doesn't work I have got to guess it's broke. [04:38] J-n: that's okay, you have helped and I appreciate it. [04:38] you need to install a version of madwifi made for it though.. any chance you can hook your laptop up by ethernet cable for about 10min? [04:39] IndyGunFreak, i can try, last time i did, though, it did not recognize the hard port either [04:39] back when I first installed this version, the login screen was totally screwed up, as your username and password would appear in something like 100 point text in the login window, so I set ubuntu to automatically log me in, since I'm the only one who uses this computer anyway..... [04:39] * pw-- wanders off to look for an ethernet cable [04:39] pw--: hmm, i see === chaky_ is now known as chaky [04:39] Scruffy00 i'm sure there is someone else with a similar prob as us, out there, i'm just too unmotivated for a real google search on the issue.. but its certainly a problem with evolution and probally not with your particular setup.. at least that's my GUESS. [04:40] LSD|Ninja: how difficult is it to install build-essential on w/o an internet connection?.. i've never had much luck w/ it. [04:41] IndyGunFreak: no idea, I don't recall ever really using it [04:41] hmm === boyz is now known as trii [04:42] The Atheros in my ubuntu P4 is supported OOB by madwifi in Hardy and ath5k in Intrepid so I've never had to bother with it [04:42] LSD|Ninja: hmm, [04:43] LSD|Ninja: that 242x one is a pain, only worked on gutsy w/ a patched madwifi... and doesn't work w/ the current version of madwifi [04:43] IndyGunFreak: You need ath9k for those AR242x things which I was assured will be in Intrepid on I couldn't find it last I looked... [04:43] LSD|Ninja: yeah, i tried today for a while to get it to work... no joy [04:43] Are all signed integer datatypes (char, short int, int, long int, long long int) in linux, **always** stored as 2's complement? [04:44] LSD|Ninja: Im using ath9k right now [04:44] what's the equivalent of 'mount -t cifs -o username=name,password=pass //192.168.0.1/share /mnt/a' for fstab, this doesn't work: [04:44] //192.168.0.1/share /mnt/a cifs rw,mand,username=name,password=pass 0 0 [04:44] IndyGunFreak: you were trying the ath9k drivers? [04:44] IndyGunFreak, no go with the wired connection === Guest39607 is now known as pw- [04:44] danbh_intrepid: what's the name of the module? modinfo never returned anything for any permutation of ath9k I tried [04:45] danbh_intrepid: i was using madwifi.. [04:45] madwifi doesn't support AR242x afaik, you need ath9k [04:45] LSD|Ninja: sorry, I dont know how to use modinfo, or search drivers whatever [04:45] ah, another guy with AR242x? poor chap [04:46] LSD|Ninja: i have a verison of madwifi that does, thats what pw- needs, but he'll need to install build essential, and i can rapidshare the file to him. [04:46] problem is, i don't know how to install build-essential, w/o an internet connection [04:46] hmm, that is a bit of a problem =\ [04:46] yup.. [04:46] IndyGunFreak, just download the deb? [04:46] IndyGunFreak: build-essential dependencies g++ g++-4.2 libstdc++6-4.2-dev [04:47] IndyGunFreak: I was just going on what I read over at the madwifi site. I only have ath_pci/ath5k cards and don't care one way or the other how well Linux supports the one in my MacBook :P [04:47] pjotr: then you ahve to tr ty to find the dependencies for everything else [04:47] LSD|Ninja: http://pastebin.com/f290c50dd [04:47] Thanks, for all the help. I am heading to bed. I will see if I can get this whole Evolution sound issue taken care of. [04:47] the dependencies for g++ and libstdc are probably satisfied [04:48] danbh_intrepid: I'll have to take another look when I get the machine built back up [04:49] i'll just wait for 8.10 =) [04:50] pw-: it shouldn't be that hard to be truthful. [04:50] LSD|Ninja: btw, that paste was just of modinfo ath9k [04:50] aye, but i think the 8.10 release will fit with my installation time, also, between now and the time i decide to install, i need to find a way to back up about 90 GB of stuff [04:50] hence my previous question about NTFS [04:51] pw-: i see.. wel yeah, backing up is good, but like i said earlier... i spent a couple hours trying to get that device working w/ Intrepid today, w/ no joy [04:51] :-* [04:51] can anyone recommend a small ubuntu boot cd with clamav or someother antivirus ?? [04:51] IndyGunFreak: It shouldn't be hard, Atheros are usually good but between the drivers being in a state of transition (both upstream and in ubuntu) and Ubuntu being a little slow to roll out madwifi updates we're in a bit of a rough patch right now [04:51] hmm [04:51] quit [04:51] LSD|Ninja: i know.. [04:52] LSD|Ninja: madwifi is not the problem, i have the version of madwifi he needs, he needs to install build-essential, and i've just never had luck installing that w/o an internet connection [04:53] pw-: so you've not actuallly installed Ubuntu yet on the laptop [04:53] IndyGunFreak, http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/build-essential [04:54] m trying to install hardy on a Macbook and it succeeded but GRUB won't work!

[04:58] orifice-> fdisk /dev/sdx x being the new drive, and then go through the menu [04:58] starts the kolab server application so i'm guessing i just put that command above the exit 0 line? [04:58] I guess what I want to do is create partition that spans the whole disk from a script [04:58] independent of drive size [04:58] orifice look into using LVM [04:58] jp73107, try it out [04:59] Are all signed integer datatypes (char, short int, int, long int, long long int) in linux, **always** stored as 2's complement? [04:59] I have. This is for an automatic deployment script [04:59] well that was stupid easy [04:59] lol [04:59] I'd like to stay away from LVMs [04:59] thanks chubs [04:59] jp73107, you might want to make that an if statement though [05:00] i think i'm going to remove it now, looks like it started twice, i guess kolab put the init script into init.d for me [05:00] jp73107, haha. alright [05:00] orifice-> then perhaps NAS ? [05:00] anyone? [05:00] and this is the case.. heh [05:01] what's a good irc channel on freenode for asking linux dev questions? [05:01] Hej noobs, hur kan jag installera de skärpta förare?

[05:53] ok [05:53] thanks [05:53] np :) [05:54] try to run it from the terminal, I get the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47080/ [05:54] ( Operating System ) Linux Ubuntu 8.04 - hardy Kernel: 2.6.24-19-generic, GNU/Linux | Xorg: 1.4.0.90 | Desktop: KDE: 3.5.9GNOME 2.22.2 | IRC CLient: X-Chat v.2.8.4 [05:54] hey guys [05:55] whats up marshall ? === TrustNoOne is now known as Daft_Punk [05:55] whats up [05:55] so if i've got a wired connection and i want to share that wired connection over wireless (so i'd be an access point), does NetworkManager support doing this? [05:55] ive installed ATI proprietary drivers on my hardy system and id like to go back to the old open source drivers. how do i uninstall the proprietary ones? [05:55] daft punk is here!! wooo! [05:55] Any ideas on how I can get alsamixer working? Kinda need it to get my rescording on Audacity. [05:55] Hello, I'm a newbie and would like to know what are considered to be executable files on a Linux system. I'm trying Ubuntu. [05:55] Agrajag, you need a wireless access point module or wireless hub or router to broadcast the signal, your computer can't do that [05:56] soltek, .deb files are executable, but anything you can and need to install is in the add/remove programs section under applications [05:56] exacly what i have [05:56] :P [05:56] Daft_Punk: ah right ok ta [05:56] soltek, some applications may not be installable until you have the correct repositories added [05:56] remitaylor: in response to my own question (for the log) ... i should re-package the deb with an incremented version number and then apt shouldn't complain anymore (props to #debian for helping out, altho they were very mean to me because i'm using ubuntu, not debian). apt is auto-upgrading my package because the version number isn't higher than the current one. [05:56] what does "Create new wireless network" in networkmanager actually do? I can't seem to find networkmanager documentation [05:57] soltek, in my limited understanding linux is a text based system so a text file could be executable. so can .jar files .. .deb ... .bin.. .sh etc.. it's not as clear cut as widows when it comes to executibles [05:57] Agrajag, if you can't find your network through broadcasting, (IE your ssid is silent) then you can manually add the wireless network information in (if you know your ssid and key) [05:57] Agrajag, you have to have a wireless router and you have to set up your wireless network (instructions come with the wireless router) [05:57] No one knows what I can do to fix alsamixer? [05:58] Thanks, I guess that about covers it. [05:59] yaro, sorry... [05:59] yaro, just keep asking your question every couple of minutes (dont screen flood) and someone should be able to help you [05:59] hello, does anyone know how I'd go about making a link to a folder using the commandline ?? "ln -s testFolder destinationFolder" makes a link but it say it's broken ..... [05:59] Daft_Punk: i don't think what you said is correct. if it is, what's the difference between "Connect to other wireless network" and "Create New Wireless Network"? [06:00] Agrajag, I know what I said is correct, a computer can NOT broadcast wireless signals, you must purchase a wireless router [06:01] Agrajag, if you have a wireless network you can broadcast the ssid or keep it hidden. if it is broadcasted you can search for ssid and connect to other wireless network. if your ssid is hidden you must enter in the ssid and key manually hence "create new wireless network" [06:01] Hello all [06:01] I'm having a problem with rhythmbox [06:01] it keeps finding duplicates of all my music [06:01] !ask Cpudan80 [06:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask cpudan80 [06:01] darn [06:01] Like /home/debrac/music is a symlink over to my external [06:01] hidden SSIDs aren't secure and they create more problems than they solve so meh [06:01] Daft_Punk: that's what the "Connect to other wireless network" option is for. the "Create New Wireless Network" clearly does something else. [06:02] It worked fine before..... any ideas why it might have stopped working? [06:02] LSD|Ninja, true... but im just trying to explain to Agrajag that "create new wireless network" under network manager does not mean your computer can turn itself into a router and start broadcasting wireless signals [06:02] I ask again: I can't get alsamixer to run. My console output can be found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47080/ [06:02] Agrajag, I gave you an answer, if you don't want to listen, that's up to you...

By right clicking [06:04] can anyone tell me how to have an audio file (.asx) launch upon login? [06:04] Hello [06:04] Well my compiz and dock wont work right ? [06:04] Cause thats gnome [06:04] Oxygenfa1, you can change the program list etc... to a single icon instead of "applications, places, system" [06:05] Is there a guide that can show me how to setup an Ubuntu ShoutCAST server please? [06:05] Oxygenfa1, you can get docks for flux, compiz not so sure about but i think there is some sort of compositing [06:05] Oxygenfa1, and you can have the start menu "icon" mounted as a desklet, just floating on your desk [06:05] JW: icecast is the alternative in the repos [06:05] How sir ?

[07:09] Aperson, ubuntu.com has all the info you'll need to get going with ubuntu [07:09] Well, Ubuntu is definitely a good place to start. Have you checked the website? [07:09] I'm doing that now [07:09] Aperson: Best way to get questions answered is to ask them. https://help.ubuntu.com/ has a good rundown, for how to install: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation first four steps on that page [07:09] Anyone know offhand the path for azureus/azureus plugins??? [07:09] Aperson, you just need to download ubuntu, burn it to cd and pop it in [07:10]  can any one help me with gnome session problem? [07:10] Cool cool, i've heard about using Whine to play games, it is easy to do? [07:10] Theoretically I can get most of my 'main' programs/games to run on the OS? [07:10] Well, first, it's 'wine'- and it depends on the game. [07:10] Oh, sorry.

[07:11] It's alright, no harm. A good place to get info on wine is http://www.winehq.org/ [07:11] I'm going to assume WoW runs on Linus, but what about STEAM games?

[07:12] for some reason my wifi is no longer working in 8.04. I put in my 8.04 install CD and wifi works fine with it [07:12] Thanks for the links. I feel rather lazy, but I wasn't sure if I should start with unbuntu and wanted to make sure I was reading the RIGHT stuff. [07:12] Aperson: The best advice I can actually give you if you're going to start using linux is twofold. First, don't be afraid to ask questions, and second, be ready to learn- it's not Windows. :) [07:13] And just as a general rule for anything, but especially this: Google is your best friend. [07:14] Yea definitely. [07:14] I looked around and it seems unbuntu would be a good start, just wanted a little confirmation :) [07:14] Aperson: check help.ubuntu.com/community/ before googling though. [07:14] can I have an ati and an nVidia card on the same system? (and have them both work) [07:14] dear anyone who remembers the por-blom I have: I can't fsck, because the grub shell is extremely limited, but I can chkdsk [07:15] I'm running windows now, should I bother installing two OS' or should I just del windows and install a fresh copy of linux?

[07:41] Flannel : yes , looks like that [07:42] * Rynol reiterates. Recent Hardy install. Menubar locks up. Sound dies. Usually associated with just after closing some programs and opening new ones.

[07:42] koshar1, lastest version of ubuntu too [07:42] ganesh: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine && rm -r ~/.wine [07:43] ganesh: (basically, remove the package, and delete your ~/.wine folder) [07:44] Prophetu: Did that bugreport have a workaround?

I've tried Aptana/Eclipse and other derivitives but keep getting Java errors (at least, they look like Java errors). Ideally I'd like one that plays nicely in GNOME and supports PHP [07:46] Flannel:how do i do that? [07:46] Argh, Ubuntu won't play nice with this laptop... [07:46] ganesh: There's an "edit menu" (or something like it) entry somewhere in the menus [07:47] P1ro precisely what chipset is it? [07:47] connect irc.freenode.net 6667 [07:47] I forgot the command to see loaded modules and the command to see internet devices [07:47] ganesh: right click on 'Applications', and select "Edit Menu" [07:47] Can someone lend me a hand? [07:47] ganesh: I think all applications that you install using wine goes into ~/.wine [07:47] ganesh: if you want to remove everything, just remove that directory. [07:47] I request help in resolving a menubar lockup bug. Is anyone willing... to help... [07:48] Rynol: Can you be a little more descriptive? People are more likely to respond if there is some idea of why the problem is occuring [07:49] Okay, okay. I just figured I needed someone's attention before I could go into details, lest it be seen as spammy. [07:50] Anyway, basically... after running for an hour or so, more if I don't close or open new programs that often, either... [07:50] A) the sound dies completely. [07:50] Rynol: Sound can be fixed by typing 'sudo alsa force-reload' into a terminal [07:50] Rynol: Something to do with flash I believe [07:50] Rynol: nobody will give you attention unless you give more details. :) [07:50] B - and more often) the top menubar completely locks, as does any keycombo or similar to trigger the things accessible from it - like how I can tap power lightly to open the shutdown. [07:50] Sorry! [07:51] Huge channels intimidate me. [07:51] I'm used to 20 people tops. [07:51] But thanks for the sound, I'll try that next time it happens. [07:51] Rynol: my sound locks too when I go to youtube using firefox, I have to quit my firefox to get sound back. [07:51] I want to use yahoo instant messenger ... can I do it using wine?? [07:51] Rynol: Is it a laptop? If so, it could be trying to hibernate or something, causing the bar to lockup [07:51] Laptop, but... [07:52] ...It happens usually after closing a program. [07:52] Not after being left alone. [07:52] falstaff: pidgin not serving your needs? [07:52] So I doubt it's hibernation attempt. [07:52] ykphuah: Rynol: Sound issue is linked to the flash player, typing 'sudo alsa force-reload' into a terminal fixes it [07:52] LurkersA: will that take sound away from my firefox? [07:52] What about the bar? [07:53] LurkersA: i mean, from flash content inside my firefox? [07:53] ykphuah, pidgin is good but I like the sound yahoo messenger a little better. [07:53] LurkersA:ykphuah:Flannel: can you help me with gnome login problem? problem is i can hear login sound but it return back to login window..i am in failsafe now [07:53] falstaff: well, I guess you can try installing it with wine. [07:53] any one that has the eeebox pc? ( not the notebook but the desktop ) [07:53] falstaff: I assume you have installed wine? just download the installer, and then run "wine .exe" [07:54] there is a yahoo messenger for linux iirc [07:54] the yahoo messenger for linux is very outdated.

[08:00] i've installed svn but dont have write access to the dirs, i'm a newbie [08:01] Ah, okay then. [08:01] ykphuah: No, the command resets the sound in Ubuntu as a whole, It fixes both. [08:01] can someone help me get KDX(http://www.haxial.com/products/kdx/index2.html) working? The linux x86 version is a .zip and contains a .lexe file that will not load [08:03] Whoa, how do I find my LAN IP in Ubuntu? [08:04] open gnome terminal and type ifconfig [08:04] hit enter [08:04] When I attempt to log out, shut down, or restart using any of the standard methods in Ubuntu 8.04, the desktop environment locks up- I can still interact with the open window, but otherwise, nothing. I then have to shut down my computer by holding in the power button. [08:04] Where can I download a new set of my Human Icons [08:04] I messed them all up [08:04] Or how do I restore them [08:04] I am wanting my ip to be specific, how do I do this?

[08:07] JW, is your router configured to allow static IP?

[08:09] LurkersA Yes [08:09] I'm getting frustrated and depressed learning ubuntu - though I won't stop. There are many settings that are hard to change. Even going through user authentication controls to disable prompt for admin password leaves me clueless.

[08:09] i have a FAKE-Raid1 System, the ubuntu installer only detects sda and sdb, not my fakeraid-arrays, what can i do to install ubuntu on a fake-raid-1 system? [08:10] JW: Other than 10.1.1.1? IE, your ISP supplied Addresses? [08:10] LA: broadband [08:11] LurkersA, My gateway's address isnt that [08:11] LurkersA, the router's ip is set in the "DNS tab in Network settings [08:11] nateeee: When you get to your desktop, goto System | Administration | Network.

[08:12] hi there [08:12] !kiosk [08:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about kiosk [08:12] JW: That is your Gateway, not your DNS. That might be the problem. [08:12] nateeee: Yes.

[08:12] LurkersA, wheres my DNS then? :O [08:12] anyone knwo about a good kiosk software for ubuntu, that also limits the time they can be logged in ? [08:13] ace_suares: what is a kiosk software?

[09:11] nnull: the client is the one that needs to authenticate. so it creates an identity (the keys). by allowing certain public keys on the server, you control who can log in. [09:11] the server won't see any private key [09:12] that way, if the server gets compromised, your keys are still safe [09:12] ahh i see [09:13] saschahl, where are the keys stored? asin where can i add and delete keys [09:13] Since a few days ago I have not been able to use my numpad on my keyboard (even with numlock on/off) Any ideas?

[10:43] i have problems with video codecs i think. When i play a video in Totem it looks red with blue!!!! I can't see the original colors [10:44] MessWithTheBest-: Try using vlc, and see if that fixes it [10:44] !codecs | MessWithTheBest- [10:44] MessWithTheBest-: 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 [10:45] LurkersA: yeah it fixes it. But if i run totem first, i get the same result with VLC. I have to reboot again so VLC can play the video correctly. [10:45] Approximate UTC time, pls? [10:45] MessWithTheBest-: I'm not sure why that happens, but have heard that complaint before [10:47] that's awful, cuz I have to reboot always. Sometimes i accidentally run Totem cuz it's default movie player. THAT'S REALLY AWFUL [10:47] plz i want a solution for this problem. it drives me crazy [10:47] MessWithTheBest-: then change your default player [10:47] MessWithTheBest-: Change the default player under System | Preferences | Prefered Applications [10:48] MessWithTheBest-: does it perform the same with mplayer? [10:48] ActionParsnip: it's ok with Mplayer [10:49] only when i run Totem for the first time, it damages the codecs [10:49] MessWithTheBest-: is there a hidden folder in ~? relating to totem? [10:49] ~/ [10:49] not ~? [10:50] ActionParsnip: no [10:51] MessWithTheBest-: so there's no ~/.totem folder [10:51] ActionParsnip: i found folders for: vlc. mplayer and gstreamer [10:51] no [10:51] or similar [10:51] no i looked all of the folders. [10:52] nothing looks relate to Totem [10:52] um... [10:53] ActionParsnip: i didn't find any folder relates to Totem [10:53] MessWithTheBest-: cd ~/; find -name totem === izibi__ is now known as izibi [10:54] i found: ./.config/totem [10:54] and ./.gconf/apps/totem [10:55] Hey. A fresh installation of 8.04 here. When I drag top-down on the right side of my touchpad it scrolls horizontally (left to right) not top-down. Anybody familiar with this problem and how to fix it?

[10:56] !ask | mabc [10:56] mabc: 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. :-) [10:57] MessWithTheBest-: did anything display? [10:57] I'm going to load a new xorg.conf, might not be back. [10:57] hello [10:57] why wont my nick change ? [10:58] It did change. From mabc to mabc99 and then back to mabc. [10:58] ActionParsnip: yeah i told you. if found: ~/.config/totem AND ~/.gconf/apps/totem [10:58] And this channel is for Ubuntu support, please keep the conversation on topic. [10:58] I am very unhappy with how ubuntu eats up my battery life [10:58] MessWithTheBest-: id rename both those folders then rerun totem, if its the same, rename back [10:59] Windows has this down.. but Ltinux is not there ye [10:59] Sure the battery is good? [10:59] zetheroo: Ubuntu != Linux [10:59] Sure all power saving options are enabled? [10:59] ActionParsnip: what do you mean by "id rename"? [11:00] xnv: yes .. and/ [11:00] boooob [11:00] ? [11:00] I'm trying to boot the ubuntu livecd, and it said that the sd module is something, and now it's i/o erroring when trying to access my sata drive [11:00] MessWithTheBest-: rename both those folders [11:00] id == i'd [11:00] zetheroo: So you're wrong to make such conclusions based on the information you've offered. [11:01] xnv: what was I wrong about? [11:01] ActionParsnip: oky. Should i rename the "Totem" folders or the outer folders?? [11:01] zetheroo: First of all, your approach. If you want help making your battery last longer, ask. This isn't a complaint channel. [11:01] xnv: I just said that Windows has power management down much better than Linux [11:02] xnv: I did ask before .. you don't have to be so sensitive [11:02] ;-) [11:02] MessWithTheBest-: just the totem folders, just the ones it found [11:02] zetheroo: Ubuntu != Linux. A bad experience with Ubuntu does not mean the Linux kernel is worse than Windows at power management. [11:04] it's not just the kernel that affects battery life. [11:04] MessWithTheBest-: once renamed, run totem [11:04] many applications may have an adverse effect. [11:04] I'm getting "Driver sd needs updating please use bus_type methods" when trying to boot the livecd, and then it's going into busybox. How can I get the livecd booted? [11:04] ActionParsnip: It WORKS! [11:04] MessWithTheBest-: renamingthose folders will strip your config back to factoy defaults [11:05] MessWithTheBest-: those folders hold the configs for apps on a per user basis [11:05] xnv: well I hear a lot of different stuff from a lot of people all professing to be mouthpieces for Linux [11:05] MessWithTheBest-: renaming them to different to expected makes the system give you stock settings [11:05] MessWithTheBest-: you must have played too much and set it wrong [11:05] zetheroo: besides, windows level power management is not something Linux should strive for [11:05] MessWithTheBest-: you can do it with almost any app [11:05] ActionParsnip: yeah maybe! [11:05] zetheroo: if there's something to emulate, it's OS X. [11:06] ActionParsnip: cool trick [11:06] ActionParsnip: thnx man [11:06] MessWithTheBest-: now it works, you can delete the folders you renamed (new names as their will be new folders of the original name) [11:06] Chousuke: I just know that Windows Vista gives almost double the battery life that Ubuntu gives [11:06] MessWithTheBest-: np man [11:06] hi all [11:06] zetheroo: then something is wrong with your configuration [11:07] zetheroo: power management on Linux is very configurable; something is wrong with your system if the difference is that huge. [11:07] Chousuke: thats what I have been told... and then I had people helping me configure it .. but its still not happening [11:07] MessWithTheBest-: remember, always rename so you can roll back [11:07] zetheroo: This is a support channel. If you want help improving battery life, ask. Otherwise... [11:07] !offtopic [11:07] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:07] i've aproblem... I've upgraded fron feisty to hardy and i've lost the trash-bin from the desktop... [11:07] Yeah, my laptop is about equal for battery life with xp vs debian etch [11:07] ActionParsnip: ok :) [11:08] zetheroo: might just be that you have badly supported hardware [11:08] it also doesn't open me the computer folder anymore [11:08] xnv: shhhh... its ok.. I am talking with someone else now .... ;-) [11:08] * shandoo off [11:08] Chousuke: how do i know? [11:08] zetheroo: In the wrong channel. [11:09] zetheroo: well, you'll need to check hardware compatibility lists I suppose. [11:09] xnv: are you in a position of authority here? ... I am not leaving because your feeling hurt ... [11:09] if you have an nvidia or ati graphics card it's likely not very good for power consumption, for example. [11:09] Chousuke: hmmm.. any idea where those would be?

I also tryed to move .gnome .gnome2 and .nautilus but it didn't change at all [11:10] zetheroo: I'm not asking you to leave. I just don't want to be trolled with your opinions about Windows vs. Linux. Explaining your experience so that Chousuke and others can help you is just fine. [11:10] Chousuke: still though ... Windows gives me 2 hours of battery life and Ubuntu gives about 45-55 min!!! [11:10] zetheroo: that might just be teh problem [11:11] heh, from ~nothing to ~nothing :) [11:11] xnv: there are things that Windows has better than Linux and vica-versa ... its just natural ... you can't have it all ... ha [11:11] daniele: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=55302 [11:12] Hi All - I got a problem - I cant mount my raid 5 drive. dmesg | tail errors in itEXT2-fs error (device sda1): ext2_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 912 not in group (block 231211008). sda is a drive in the raid it comes up 3 time and also has this ... EXT2-fs: group descriptors corrupted! [11:12] zetheroo: I can't say for sure, but I would put the blame on the ati drivers [11:12] ActionParsnip: I think i have a problem with my graphics card driver. I have nvidia GT8500 512 VRAM.

I dont use ghastly effects so ive no idea [11:12] daniele: .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [11:13] MessWithTheBest-, "become like heavy" ?

[11:25] :)) [11:25] thanks [11:25] nevoeiro: sweet [11:26] :) [11:26] nevoeiro: np man [11:26] *click* [11:26] what's the meaning of "laggy"?? I'm reading a thread about nvidia drivers and it mentions a problem says: Compiz Fusion very choppy, laggy minimize/maximize. [11:26] slow/delayed [11:26] i've got a computer, outside the office, that runs ubuntu and it connects to the internet using ppp and gsm modem. The problem is a pptp tunnel that i've set up to connect that computer to our office VPN. When the tunnel goes down it also "damages" ppp internet connection. It looks as if ip-down for the tunnel cleans resolv.conf [11:26] MessWithTheBest-: lag is a network term meaning slow performance, it can also be used when other stuff is slow [11:26] is there a way to avoid damaging the internet connection when the tunnel goes down? [11:27] ActionParsnip: yeah, that what's happening with me [11:28] MessWithTheBest-: try using the envy driver, you will have to revert to "nv" driver if you do a kernel update and you will need to rerun envy once the new kernel has booted [11:28] MessWithTheBest-: and each time after that [11:28] !envyng | MessWithTheBest- [11:28] MessWithTheBest-: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [11:28] thanks [11:29] How can I add getdeb.net in to my repo? [11:29] nooga: no idea man, try in #kubuntu [11:30] nickserv bbbb [11:30] ok i need some help [11:30] with irc [11:31] Nata-Oh: Try here maybe: http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/08/05/howto-access-getdebnet-packages-through-apt-getsynaptic/ Note that it indicated this is an unstable thing to be doing [11:31] hey... I need some help with installing a usb modem on a hardy heron... [11:31] its pretty difficult to screw up in any serious way the nvidia drivers installation, I wouldn't worry about it too much [11:31] join # !ask | test [11:31] test: 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. :-) [11:32] test use /join [11:32] test: and you need to connct to a server first [11:34] anyone suggest a VM app that works on ubuntu server with no gui?

I've configured the wvdial.conf file but I still can't seem to surf the net. what do i do? [11:37] ddoom: what are you trying to do with virtualization? [11:37] A_Fowl: does the modem spring to life when you dial? === jetti_ is now known as Jetti_ [11:39] install a program that will let me stream video/music/pics to xbox 360. but the the 64bit version is a bit iffy. [11:40] ddoom: a linux program? [11:40] yes [11:40] you should be able to run 32 bit binaries on a 64 bit host [11:41] I know I've tried running it, with little success [11:43] ddoom: what are you trying to run, and how ? [11:43] Hi everybody. I've been trying to download my hotmail throw evolution (already configured xinetd) but I get a prompt that says "hotmail requires pay to webDAV access" [11:43] ikonia: twonky media server in a 32bit vm guest os [11:44] fakoff: thats correct [11:44] ddoom: and what's the issue ? [11:44] anyone uses a mail client to access a hotmail account? [11:44] ikonia: I don't know you tell me [11:44] fakoff: you need to pay for that functionality [11:44] sure? shit! [11:44] ddoom: if your running a 32bit guest, it's just a 32bit OS, so any 32bit application should work [11:44] fakoff: drop that language please [11:44] ddoom: for something like that you should probably try kvm or vmware server [11:45] Anyone had any success getting 5.1 digital out on an AD1988B sound card? [11:45] sorry [11:45] ddoom: something like xen would be better but its a fantastic pain to set up correctly [11:45] hello [11:45] ikonia: yep [11:45] ddoom: does this application require direct hardware access ? [11:46] ehtom: I've never heard of xen or kvm [11:46] ddoom: vmware server? [11:47] ikonia: not sure [11:47] ddoom: is there a reason you want to run this in a vm ? [11:48] Having some troubles setting up a FakeRaid of 2x1TB under 8.0.4. First run works fine, ie running dmraid and partition the raid. I then reboot, install dmraid again and something goes bad with dmraid. Can't figure out what the problem is. [11:48] http://paste.linuxassist.net/10904 << anyone see something that makes sense to them? :P [11:48] ickmund: fakeraid is a terrible technology [11:48] ickmund: it's support is quite poor [11:49] fakoff [11:50] is there a good app for playing online radio channels ... I thought I recalled there being one that worked like a media centre with radio channels in it ... [11:50] ikonia: I realise that, but besides getting me some new hardware I don't seem to have much of an option as the drives seem too big for my bios. The nvidia raid-utility recognizes them for what they are thou. [11:50] ikonia: i'm running ubuntu server 8.04 amd64, the 32bit program doesn't work properly on it [11:51] fakoff, http://ubuntuswitch.blogspot.com/2007/09/ubuntu-how-to-get-yahoohotmail-emails.html http://webmail.mozdev.org/installation.html [11:51] ickmund: have you considered linux software raid [11:51] zetheroo: I use Rythmbox or Exaile to listen to online radio streams. Is that what you are after? [11:51] ddoom: what actual program is it ? [11:51] ikonia: thank you [11:51] ikonia: http://www.twonkyvision.de/ [11:51] ushimitsudoki: yeah something liek that ... except that exaile does not have any channels and one must add them manually ... I thought there was one which had a bunch built in [11:52] physically_fit: thank you very much, I'm going to read it [11:52] ddoom: you could run that within a 32bit chroot environment ? [11:52] fakoff, it works [11:52] ikonia: I did at first, but thought that I needed the disks to be recognized in bios for it. If I do use the nvidia raid-array and try to install on sda/sdb grub gives me errors [11:53] ickmund: software raid should work fine [11:53] ickmund: what matters is that the OS see them correctly [11:53] ikonia: I will give it a shot then, thanks [11:53] ickmund: the bios only matters for terrible technologies like fakeraid [11:55] Something is making my computer slow. Htop says the CPU is at 100% all the time, but if I sort the processes to see which one uses the most CPU power there is nothing that uses that much. Max is about 2-3%. How do I know which process eats up all the resources? [11:56] I'm gonna reboot now 'cause it seems impossible to get it away...

I'd read about that the webDAV access to hotmail was disabled on new accounts, but mine it's since 2004. Do you actually use it? === EagleSn is now known as EagleScreen [12:10] yes fakoff, i use it. i configured thunderbird a couple of days ago to retrieve emails from hotmail.

[12:14] ...there's a place to know the difference between those kernels? [12:14] hello ... does anybody know a windows + linux app where i can select which OS boots when i restart? [12:15] i cant get desktop effects working? i think i need to install i restricted driver but there is not an option for me to do so? [12:15] physically_fit, ok thanks a lot. I've seen on the add-on setting that it access new accounts too (I guess via DeltaSync) so I'm going to check every option [12:15] TheInfinity, hmm not sure what you mean, but you have a dual boot system and you want to select which OS boots by default? [12:16] bakarat: no i want to have a dialogue "reboot to linux" and "reboot to windows" [12:16] TheInfinity, o [12:16] hi all [12:16] How can I get wicd to appear in the notification area? [12:17] i have remote dual boot pcs and its stupid work to edit all menu.list all the time, especially with windows [12:18] TheInfinity, suse can do that. maybe have a look at their docs for grub? [12:18] TheInfinity, try "man grub-reboot", for the Ubuntu part of equation (if you use grub) [12:18] i installed ubuntu on a usb hd and it has messed up my original xp instal on ma internal hd and i am unable to boot into it? any way of fixing it? [12:19] rm: the linux part is no prob at all, thats made with a simple bashscript [12:19] my main prob is windows ... [12:20] there are windows drivers to read-write ext2/3 [12:20] you can make a bat file which will copy proper menu.lst into its place [12:21] or you could format /boot in fat32 ;O [12:21] rm: yea, this means logging in as admin, mounting ext2, editing menu.lst, unmounting ext2, reboot [12:21] means takes via vnc some time just to reboot [12:21] well, the admin part is unskippable, or do you see a regular user change the boot method [12:22] rm: thats why i ask for eg an alternative bootloader or something like that to have just a single click [12:22] and the "editing" bit can be avoided by having two copies of menu.lst with "windows-default" and "ubuntu-default", and simple bat files [12:23] anyone familiar with setting up multitouch on elantech pads (yes it's an eee)? [12:24] nope [12:27] ubuntu seems to handle /some/ by itself (without using the synaptics driver), but i can't figure out where that's configured [12:27] Anyone had any success getting 5.1 digital out on an AD1988B sound card?

Sorry but I can't help you on that [12:44] !compile > darren__ [12:44] darren__, please see my private message [12:44] carandraug, ok thannks for trying i will take a look at the link [12:44] hey walker.. my ubuntu has also become slow [12:45] its eating about 500 MB here [12:45] I wish my ubuntu liked all my audio channels.

[13:06] davidguest: line 22 drops everything. That means the three ircd rules you have after line 22 never have any effect [13:07] Dabbu: Otherwise, give it a couple of weeks tryout and see if it works for you. [13:07] how can I translate the my favorites web pages from other user section to this? [13:07] jrib how do i solve this [13:07] davidguest: how are you setting your iptables rules?

[13:59] i added video ram opetion few minutes back to see if it works .. its still the same [13:59] ActionParsnip: no it is college network [13:59] dinesh_: hmm, you need some wired connection til you can get sorted, or download the stuff you need to cd or usb storage then transfer [14:00] so far, reading man pages, it seems that 'vidcontrol' tool is the way to disable console's screen saver, but I can't seem to find that app anywhere [14:00] VVSiz: do you ever want them on? [14:00] VVSiz: you could just uninstall them [14:00] okay [14:01] ActionParsnip: tell me what stuff to download [14:01] I'm reinstalling it [14:01] ActionParsnip: uninstall what? by screen saver, I mean that in TEXT mode my console goes blank [14:01] VVSiz: ooh i dunno but if you find out can you tell me. Im doing a gentoo install and i keep having to hit cursor to make it turn on again [14:01] so, no X11 stuff in my case, I have pure text console and would like to disable the screen going blank :) [14:01] need some help with gnome connect to server over ssh. my ssh server is using public/private keys to auth.

During the installation everything went ok, also in lsmod etc.. everything is ok [14:19] KDB9000: ok i need to give it a try right [14:19] Chousuke, this by default changes the permission on the target file, not the link itself apparantly [14:20] Pizarro: if you set /etc/network/interfaces to static ip then it wont [14:20] Pizarro: perhaps someone in channel #ubuntu-server would know [14:20] Chousuke, i tried adding -h but that doesn't work [14:20] !ask | maniack [14:20] maniack: 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. :-) [14:20] ActionParsnip, actually it's set in static and it doesn't [14:20] bakarat: why do you want to change permissions on the link itself, anyway? [14:20] about my cpu [14:20] who is willing to help [14:20] ActionParsnip, I installed this stuff 4 times, the last one in static mode [14:20] bakarat: doesn't sound very useful :( [14:20] pizarro can you assit please [14:20] dinesh_, alot of the docs i looked at pointed me to that site. if you want we can try b34 driver. [14:21] maniack Just ASK the question. [14:21] Pizarro: try setting a suitable ip to your network and ping [14:21] Chousuke, for some reason it says that the end user has no permission, even though on the directory that the link points to, he has [14:21] Chousuke, the link however is owned by the root, i thought that could be the problem [14:21] ActionParsnip, do you know if the b34 driver for broadcom wifi will work with the BCM94311MCG wifi card? [14:21] Ok question to every one I have a built in wireless and a usb wireless on two laptops, I have done a freash install of ubuntu on both laptops, on my girlfriendsn laptop I can use wireless stright away with out doing any thing, but on mine it does not know its there, so I downlaed a driver from aircrack which lets me use the usb wireless but does not show signel strength, so I tried wicd which just shows full sugnel stre [14:21] ngth but does not let me connect, so then I used ndiswrapper with a windows driver that shows signel strength and lets me connect to an open connection but not wep with the right code, [14:21] is there any way I can just get this stupid thing to work be doing another fresh install of ubutu and just adding something easy,,,tryed so many things and so many hours reading but its not helping,,, could it be that my sony is not compatible with the wireless or some thing else....please help im going crazy, sorry for so much do hard to explain in a few words [14:21] bakarat: if the user has read permission on the link then it shouldn't matter :/ [14:21] KDB9000: id use ndiswrapper, broadcom is garbage [14:21] no one knows what to do with an hash mismatch, or is my question not precise enough? [14:21] Pizarro, why not stick with CentOS if it works? [14:21] ok try b34 driver [14:22] Chousuke, hmm [14:22] ActionParsnip, my router is configured to give DHCP from 192.168.1.10 to .....255, from 192.168.1.2 to ...10 is for static, I already have a lan printer in static at 192.168.1.3 working FINE, and I set ubuntu to work at 192.168.1.2 AND I CANT PING MY GATEWAY [14:22] ActionParsnip, mine works with the b34 driver, couple hickups here and there [14:22] bakarat: I just checked [14:22] bakarat: it's not possible [14:22] Pizarro: is it wired or wireless? [14:23] Chousuke, it was a mistake on my part :D [14:23] bakarat: the manual page says that the permissions of a symbolic link are never used [14:23] ActionParsnip, my gateway (router) is at 192.168.1.1, and is WIRED, no WIFI [14:23] heh [14:23] Pizarro, did you also set the gateway? [14:23] when want to change the password going through the bios how do i about it [14:23] Pizarro: tried a different cable? [14:24] KDB9000, yes during the installation , I selected manual, and I set 192.168.1.1 for the gateway (router), and 192.168.1.2 for the IP, 255.255.255.0 for mask, etc.. [14:24] dinesh_, it would be best to use ndiswrapper. just follow the website i sent you. [14:24] KDB9000; ok [14:24] VVSiz: take a glance man setterm, you may want a few more options like -powersave off [14:24] I tried different cables that are working in other computers, even I tried diferent networks cards, and nothing [14:25] It seems this version doesn't work for my computer/rrouter I don't know [14:25] but it's not the first time I install linux [14:25] Pizarro, you said you did it during the install, are you still trying to install or do you have a desktop? [14:25] I really don't know what to do [14:25] Pizarro, if CentOS works-stick with what works? [14:26] KDB9000, I've done the installation 4 times, and always the same result, everything seems to be ok, eth0 is ok, drivers loaded, etc.. but I can't ping anywhere , also my router [14:26] I just switched to another mirror, than the default sources.list suggested me (archive instead of de.archive) and then all went well...) [14:26] Pizarro, what does ifconfig say? [14:27] livingdaylight__, CentOs was working PERFECTLY in the same computer, with the same nic, and with the same router, I was using Trixbox, but now I wanted to change [14:27] guys, I cannot find the "tick" symbol anywhere in Ubuntu. Where is it? I have to fill in an urgent application. === idimmu_ is now known as idimmu [14:27] KDB9000, the only strange thing is 5 on TX errors on eth0 [14:28] I'm seriously thinking in kick this out and move to Debian [14:28] (genuine= [14:28] is there a way to set that files that are created in a particular directory take on the same permissions as the parent, [14:28] (so the directory) [14:28] Pizarro, other then that the ip, mask, and broadcast ips are alright, correct? [14:29] Pizarro, so you had somehting which was PEFECTLY as you say, but you want to change because? Are you really looking for something that doesnt' work so you can waste time 'moaning while trying to fix it;? [14:29] I have got a directory D in the primary hierarchy of the Epiphany bookmarks. It includes 19 bookmarks. I have got another directory G in the primary hierarchy. How can I make the directory D with its 14 bookmark entries to a subdirectory of G (so that nothing remains of the primary directory D)?

[14:32] ciao [14:32] bullgard4: not sure how, but I presume (very well could be wrong) that epiphany saves its bookmarks in the .xml format somewhere. It might be easier to rearrange them there with copy/cut and paste [14:32] !list [14:32] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [14:32] bullgard4: but could very well be barking up the wrong tree [14:32] yates: what are you trying?

[14:36] KDB9000: i also used google but the no of sites is so large that i am confused [14:36] darksifer, i've got a second hdd but for some reason i cant install windows onto it i just keep getting a message saying windows installer cannot find a windows compatible partion [14:36] RickZilla: you might want xubuntu instead, or at least more ram [14:36] ahh, ok, thanks jrib [14:37] KDB9000, that's what I thought, however I have to set up a server, and Ubuntu it seems so far not a good idea, [14:37] milostrife: windows support in ##windows please [14:37] does aiglx warnings have anyything to do with low fps ? [14:37] Ziroday: I wondered if that was it...it tried to install, then froze up halfway through [14:37] -n is the ticket [14:37] dinesh_, like i said, the forum, wiki, and help are good places to get or find help with ubuntu. wiki.ubuntu.com forum.ubuntu.com [14:37] yessss - niiice! [14:37] RickZilla: you might also want to use the alternate installer instead of the graphical installer. The graphical installer can't run on such old specs [14:37] KDB9000, my boss wanted me to put Windows Server, I told him to trust me...but it turned that he was right [14:37] Ziroday, sorry i dont understand the question [14:37] xtrememertx: depends what the warning are [14:37] milostrife check out http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm?page=5 [14:38] Hey!

[14:38] Pizarro, I am running a ubuntu server right now on a Dell PowerEdge 2650 [14:38] darksifer, thanks :) [14:38] Ziroday: thanks for the info, I'll look into that next [14:38] KDB9000: ok thanks [14:38] KDB9000:bye [14:38] Artti: depends on how much personal stuff you are going to have and how many programs you are going to install [14:38] KDB9000, well, in this computer here doesn't work, and I am not a noob on this (configuring network) [14:38] KDB , why not you give him a suggestion size ~~~ [14:39] Pizarro, Open up a bug report. [14:39] new question: why am i getting a rather large /var/log/acpid message log file? [14:39] darksifer, the problem is not it cant load windows or ubuntu it's i wont register a raw formmat to install windows to [14:39] exit [14:39] adamk, I am going to try installing directly a genuine Debian distro [14:39] Pizarro, so you are installing ubuntu server. what kind of nic is it? [14:39] Ziroday, so 20 GB should be fine for ubuntu? [14:39] KDB9000, I tried with a Realtek Gigabit and a VIA chip based one [14:40] Artti: yes [14:40] !icons > jrib [14:40] jrib, please see my private message [14:40] i'm using 20 gb for ubuntu [14:40] KDB9000, the mother board has a VIA chip for network, I though that wasn't compatible with ubuntu, so I installed a realtek (NEW) and it doesn't work too [14:40] Ziroday, Okey, thanks, i will continue with my install. [14:41] Ziroday: here are my warnings http://paste.ubuntu.com/47148/ [14:41] Artti: have fun [14:41] xtrememertx: does the card run fine? [14:41] Pizarro, I don't think realtek are linux friendly. [14:41] How is the state of ATI cards for ubuntu? [14:42] its an 810 .. i'm getting low fps on glx gears ..i'm not even able to watch youtube [14:42] KDB9000, well that card worked on Debian 2 years ago, and under Mandrake, however what about the VIA one (Rhine II)? [14:42] kalila: it depends which card, but it has got better [14:42] and cant play simple 2d games [14:42] KDB9000: it is... it has drivers on its website and all its chips are supported by linux in tree drivers afaik [14:42] xtrememertx: have you installed the correct drivers? [14:42] Ziroday: So get the 'alternate' download,instead of the 'desktop' download, correct? [14:42] RickZilla: correct, and you might also want to get xubuntu instead of ubuntu [14:42] i had no problem on xp .. i used to even play cs 1.6 [14:42] yes [14:42] i'm using i810 [14:43] kalila: FWIW, I just dumped my ATI card in cardboard box. I really wanted to give ATI a chance but the performance was just lackluster compared to the nvidia so I went back. [14:43] erUSUL, I haven't used realtek lately. The forum showed alot of people having problems with realtek cards (not just nics) [14:43] Ziroday: my xorg config http://paste.ubuntu.com/47142/ [14:44] I hope this time this last installation works, otherwise I will kick out this stuff [14:44] xtrememertx: one moment please [14:44] kalila: however, drivers to exist, search for fglx to find them [14:44] ok [14:44] KDB9000: well i do have a r8169 realtek card and it works [14:44] Pizarro, as far as via, I am not sure. [14:44] scampbell: Ziroday : ATI Radeon HD 3450 [14:44] erUSUL, I guess I do too. just took a look at my lspci and my wired is a realtek. [14:44] scampbell: Ziroday : I woulnd't really want anything beyond the usual compiz eye candy... don't want games or that stuff [14:45] kalila: gimme a sec [14:45] kalila: yeah I had a ATI all-in-wonder HD. It wasn't fast enough for HD under linux. The rest should work fine for you. Although, my Warcraft under Wine did't like the ATI either. [14:45] Pizarro, when you get done with the install lets try and reset it manually with the commandline [14:46] kalila: the support for that card is meant to be very good, however the driver may not be released yet in Ubuntu 8.04 for them. Try the live cd [14:46] I was wondering what UPS work best with ubuntu.. if I was going to get something I would like it to shutdown and power on correctly with the OS. any recommendations? only need this to run the computer and modem + router. do not need a monitor [14:47] Pizarro, for the via you can do an lspci and see if it comes up. [14:47] KDB9000, ok, meanwhile the installation is done, I am burning the Debian first disc isntalaltion.. [14:47] xtrememertx: you need to use the "intel" driver instead of the i810 one [14:47] i tried using intel no difference [14:48] Pizarro, let me know what lspci turns up [14:48] ok, but I already checked that before and everything was ok [14:48] * delcoyote hi [14:48] xtrememertx: I don't know how relevant this might be but check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/i810 [14:49] I'm installing hardy through alt. cd. I've setup a software raid0, but then it fails on base. syslog shows some IO/error on dev sr0, sector 386, followed by a debootstrap: /target/var/lib/apt/lists/debootstrap.invalid_dists_hardy_main_binary-i386_Packages: No such file or directory. The two lists I have are .. _hardy_Release, and .. _hardy_restricted_binary-i386_Packages_partial. [14:50] Seems to me that there's a problem writing the list to disk. But what is sr0? Is it a problem with my HDD? Or my CD? [14:50] Ziroday:I have been trying different things since two weeks ..no luck even a simple avi file lags [14:50] ickmund: did you run the 'test cd' option before you installed? It sounds like an problem in the cd burn. /dev/sr0 is usually a cd/dvd drive. [14:50] is there sometihng like Team Viewer for Linux? [14:51] how do i choose a access concentrator after /sbin/pppoe -A [14:51] Pizarro, so what did lspci come up with? [14:51] opt1k, what is team viewer? [14:52] can anyone help me figure out why my SD card wont auto mount? its just one of my cards that wont [14:52] magnetron: it gives me remote control of a friends computer [14:52] how can I install a program downloaded as a .sh file? [14:53] opt1k, in a graphical way? sounds like VNC in ubuntu [14:53] magnetron: yeah, graphical way.. where can i get vnc? [14:53] how do i connect thru a access concentrator after /sbin/pppoe -A [14:53] i have removed the splash screen from boot, how do i remove the splash screen from shutdown as well?

IFCONFIG everything OK, excepts 5 errors on TX [14:54] artpoetryfiction: A .sh is an executable. If you're sure you want to execute it, you can give it execute permissions (chmod +x filename.sh) and then run it... ./filename.sh [14:55] Pizarro, did you try and route command? [14:55] !SD [14:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about sd [14:55] KDB9000, no, just a second [14:55] opt1k, you already have it. the client is in applications > internet > remote desktop something. if you are on ubuntu and want to share your desktop, go to System > Preferences > Remote Desktop. there are VNC clients and servers for windows and mac os x too [14:55] i have removed the splash screen from boot, how do i remove the splash screen from shutdown as well?

[14:57] artpoetryfiction: what xnv said, try to give it permission first with chmod +x filename.sh [14:57] ok, thanks, 1 sec [14:58] hi .. i've upgraded from GUTSY to HARDY - now i'm experiencing network lagging [14:58] Even simple ssh session between 2 computers on the same LAN is lagging now [14:58] what can be the cause?

[15:08] Pizarro, ok, i was just checking. I know with the desktop version, the network manager messes it up when you set the static. sorry, but without being there, i am out of ideas on what it could be. [15:08] kdb9000 do you know where i edit something to remove the splash screen from shutdown? i know where the startup one is but no the shutdown [15:08] Pizarro, this might seem like a dumb question, but have to ask. do you know if 192.168.1.2 is open? [15:09] blak, sorry but I don't know. never tried to remove the splash screen for shutdown. [15:09] KDB9000, no problem, I have been on this since today morning, I can't spend more time on this, I am sorry, but I think this is a crap, since it supossed to be STABLE (server) and it is not, it doesn't work in the same hardware configuration where others distros (linux) work, and the worst thing is that ALL seems to be ok, no ERROR messages, nothing, I don't trust on this as server, I am sorry. [15:10] somebody help me plz icannt login to ubuntu [15:10] this is the most useless support channel [15:10] KDB9000, when I said "this is a crap" I was talking about the Ubuntu Server distro, you helped me so much, thanks [15:10] blak: then go start your own, more efficient channel [15:11] * scampbell waves goodbye to blak and locks the door behind him. [15:11] Pizarro, I understand. but like i asked and knew it was stupid, but is 192.168.1.2 open? [15:11] KDB9000, what do you mean with "open"? (port?) [15:11] KDB9000, remember that even the DHCP wasn't working [15:12] Pizarro, no other system has the IP address [15:12] KDB9000, no since from my desktop computer (this) I perform a ping 192.168.1.2 and no pong [15:13] Hi can some please help i have just finished two fresh installs of ubuntu one on my laptop and one on my desktop,but on my lap top it does not show the usb wireless, can some one please help [15:13] KDB9000, wait!!!! WTH!!!!!! I have PONG from 192.168.1.2 [15:13] Pizarro, you need to be careful, we had a problem because we use an IP address that didn't return a ping, and it was in use [15:13] wineo: He's right, though. Some of us are pretty bad at not Googling other people's questions for them. His answer is pretty easy to find. [15:13] KDB9000, I got pong from that f&%&$%& ip! [15:14] KDB9000, but no computer is connected ther [15:14] I'm trying to figure out the name of the VNC server installed in Ubuntu by default. I've tried googling vinagre, the client, and ps ax with various greps. no luck. anybody know? [15:14] fresh noob. installed ubuntu setup for dual-boot. set dns, (addy's from auto.aquire and openDNS) tried with and with out static ip... not sure why i have no net in ubuntu, works fine here. same system btw [15:14] Hi can some please help i have just finished two fresh installs of ubuntu one on my laptop and one on my desktop,but on my lap top it does not show the usb wireless, can some one please help [15:14] Pizarro, see why you need to be careful. lol. ping isn't the best way to find an IP. do you know what range your DHCP uses?

[15:15] Pizarro, thats not goo [15:16] hi. I noticed for the first time this morning my Ubuntu slice does not have a working swap partition, and this appears to have been a problem since upgrading to edgy [15:16] Pizarro, I would say try using a high number, say 125 or something. but you also need to find the rouge 2 [15:16] looking at fdisk -l it shows both partitions do not have a valid partition table [15:16] ubottu: english? [15:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about english? [15:16] one being swap [15:16] KDB9000 just a sec I find out [15:17] ubottu - http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ [15:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:17] :) === Minty is now known as Ubuntu95 === subtwo_ is now known as subtwo [15:17] ubotto: drugs are bad [15:18] ubottu: drugs are bad [15:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about drugs are bad [15:18] definately a bot :P [15:18] nateeeee: ubottu IS only a bot. The message you saw in Russian was a canned message intend to inform another (rusian speaking) user of the correct Ubuntu support channel for speaking Russian. [15:18] Hello! I installed ubuntustudio recently, but I had some problems. Now I cannot install\uninstall any package because of this problem: E: timidity: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1E: ubuntustudio-audio: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [15:18] i understand. i have no intention of wasting my time messing with him :P [15:18] hey can someone help me with setting up a ad-hoc wlan connection to a vista notebook?

(dns addy's are from openDNS and from the auto.aquire dns settings) [15:20] Pizarro, any luck? [15:20] cdh_phoenix: You should just have to setup the connection in Vista, and then connect with the Network Manager in Ubuntu. In Ubuntu, you'll have to manually specify the network name as ad hoc SSID's aren't broadcast by Vista. [15:20] haven't done any thing AT ALL beyond installing and setting those [15:20] can anyone help me out with vnc? i'm completely lost, how do i connect to a friends computer? [15:20] nateeeee: does "ifconfig [15:20] KDB9000, i changed the ip for Ubnutu to 192.168.1.3 and still no ping, however I still don't know who is the 192.168.1.2 a colleague of me will find out [15:20] nateeeee: does "ifconfig" report the correct information for the device? [15:21] mheath: no, I tried this already, but it stops when it says requesting network address [15:21] Pizarro, I see. [15:21] i have installed tightvncserver & xvncviewer [15:21] mheath: ... don't know. i'm a really fresh noob [15:21] getting into linux for the adventure of it. hence, the dual boot lol [15:21] KDB9000, now x.x.x.3 is free, but I still don't get any PING, [15:21] nateeeee: is this a wired or wireless connection? [15:22] mheath: wired. [15:22] wow, crowded channel [15:22] hi guys [15:22] KDB9000, however the DHCP should worked during the installation, didn't it? [15:22] mheath: could network manager 0.7 be the cause of the problem? [15:22] !hi | Reinier84 [15:22] Reinier84: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:22] Does anyone here have any recommendations for a UPS to use for a ubuntu server? [15:22] mheath: i assume i don't have to install drivers for my system as i would for windows, correct? [15:22] hy [15:23] Pizarro, it should, unless you are out of address in the DHCP range [15:23] !hi | tavi_ [15:23] tavi_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:23] con soemone tell me how to upgrade beryl compiz? [15:23] KDB9000, well we have here from 10 to 40, and only 3 computer on DHCP...so..

[15:24] can anyone help me out with vnc? i'm completely lost, how do i connect to a friends computer? [15:24] Pizarro, I see. well it should work, why it doesn't i don't know. sorry [15:24] any chance someone can answer this for me (learning stuff as I go and I'm stuck on this one); I registered a domain name, I added it as the reverse DNS thingy to my VPS' IP address. when I traceroute my VPS' IP-address it resolves to mydomainname.com but when I go to my domainname I'm not getting anywhere. Anyone that can point me in the right direction to look for the error? [15:24] (running ubuntu server btw...home this is the right channel :x) [15:24] Any tips on how I could copy everything on my harddive (from the root) to a file or folder? I've tried "tar zcfv backup.tar.gz /" but end up with the error "Error exit delayed from previous errors". I've also tried "scp -r / root@xxx:/path/" but that copied the same files serveral times (symlins?). Any tips? [15:25] mheath: could we continue this in a msg after i go grab mirc. it'll make it easer for me to refill my coffee as needed [15:25] hi [15:25] marlun: hold on a second, I'm going to grab a URL to show you [15:25] marlun: cp -r [15:25] hello [15:25] i've a question [15:25] good night every body [15:25] some one free to help me?? [15:25] Reinier84: when you ping the domain does it resolve correctly? [15:25] does anyone know why I cant connect to windows adhoc wlan with my ubuntu system? [15:26] can anybody tell me about abrowser [15:26] i've update the libsvn-java from 1.4.6 to 1.5.1 [15:26] but after that [15:26] mheath: if not, then i won't bother downloading an irc client as i would RARELY use it. [15:26] i cannot use subclipse in eclipse [15:26] maszlo can't resolve hostname [15:26] hei i need the line for software sources for upgrading compiz [15:26] can somebody help me?? [15:26] what host are you using for your domain? [15:27] *sigh* i think i've been abandond [15:27] call me dumb but... you mean the hosting party where I rent my Virtual server? [15:27] hi?? [15:27] just as my sense of propuer spelling as abandoned me lol [15:27] dashnu: how does it differ from scp? (except the sending it to another computer part) [15:27] mheath: ok :) [15:27] !abrowser [15:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about abrowser [15:28] Reinier84: maybe I read the question wrong.. setting up a registerd domain to a local computer? [15:28] marlun: I can't find a good link right off, but basically you need to make sure you're not including the tar file in the backup (with your tar command) or it becomes recursive === [ID]-1672 is now known as georgeZL === magnus is now known as magnus| [15:28] :) [15:28] im sure cp handles things differently... anyways you are probably geting those tar errors due to /proc dir and what not [15:28] marlun: That is, if your working directory is /, and you create mybackup.tar.gz there and tell tar to include 'everything in /', it will try to include the bits of mybackup.tar.gz it's created so far, and errors because that becomes and endless loop. [15:29] look at tar man and search for exclude [15:29] somebody know my problem?? [15:29] hello????????????//// [15:29] marlun: that and, there are lots of files unnecessary for a backup. You don't need anything in /proc and generally you don't need anything in /dev. [15:29] *sigh* [15:30] marlun: the 'correct' way would to do a space-seperated list of all the folders in / you want to backup. So, at the end of the tar command, rather than doing just "/", do something like "/home /usr /etc" [15:30] hello [15:30] maszlo: no it's all 'on the www' so to speak. I have a VPS with 1 IP address, and a registered .com domainname. I set the domainname as the DNS-reverse thingy to that IP address. When I traceroute www.domain.com it says "unknown host" when I traceroute the VPS IP-address it hops around and resolves to www.domain.com. makes sense? [15:30] KDB9000, this is frustraiting!, even with debian I have the same issue. At the very begining during the installation the DHC fails with BOTH CARDS (VIA and Realtek9!!! [15:30] KDB9000, Is there any comptability issue between Debian and these devices? [15:30] Has there been a kernel update or something because compiz won't start for me.. [15:30] So i've been interested in installing unbuntu for a long time but still have a few questions before i go ahead with it, would anyone be so kind as to PM me and field a few? [15:31] mheath: ???? [15:31] marlun: your other option for a bit-by-bit filesystem backup is a command like "dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/root/filesystem.img". Obviously, you replace "sda1" with the correct designator for your hard disk. But, this creates a complete backup image of your filesystem. [15:31] YEM: I won't pm you to answer your questions.. but if you ask them in here I will be happy to try to answer them [15:31] Reinier84: I think you may need to set your A record [15:31] Pizarro, hmm. interesting, well that means it isn't ubuntu's problem. shouldn't be. I am running ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop and it has a realtek nic and it works [15:31] ok thx [15:32] I want to install it on the desktop i built last year, I was told i'd have to hunt down drivers for all my parts espcially since it is a bit of a popurie of vendors [15:32] is this the case? === adi_smg is now known as dafin [15:32] YEM: That depends entirely on the hardware you have. [15:32] Pizarro, not to make it sound like you don't know anything, but is the network all hooked up right? all the lights on the nic and router on and/or flashing? [15:32] mheath: ah, that could work, but how would I extract it later from the .img file? Or do I put it on a DVD disc? [15:32] thx maszlo, one last thing... do I set that somewhere in Ubuntu or somewhere else? [15:32] YEM: I would say you have to hunt drivers more on a windows box.. ubuntu comes with an awful lot of drivers out of the box.. [15:32] Hi can some one please help i have tryed many things but can not get it to work so i have just finished to clean installs of ubuntu, when i start my desktop with my wifi it shows up but when i start my laptop with the same usb wifi it does not show does any one know what it could be [15:32] mheath, will the "dd" command read the bytes that it writes? i.e. it's reading from the root filesystem, but the file that it's writing to is also on the root filesystem... [15:33] YEM: there are a few you might want to install separately.. graphics drivers is one such thing [15:33] marlun, the idea is "cat filesystem.img > /dev/sda1" [15:33] that does a direct write to your hard drive .. if you use "netcat" instead then you can do a clone over the network.k [15:33] Would i be getting these drivers from the unbuntu site or various vendor sites? === mooseguy is now known as MooseAI [15:33] mheath: what happend man. you were asking me questions then i gave answers... then you stopped :(. i'm confused [15:33] i'm having trouble configuring the synaptics touchpad driver with gsynaptics. "GSynaptics couldn't initialize.

[15:35] marlun: leeping2008 brought up a good point in that your destination should really be somewhere other than a spot on the partition you're backing up, or it gets recursive again. [15:35] Reinier84: yeah I do the same thing haha [15:36] marlun: to restore directly, though (that is, make the hard drive just like it was) you'd just reverse those commands, though: dd if=/root/filesystem.img of=/dev/sda1" [15:36] my desktop has pretty standard hardwar, SATA HD's, intel processor, Geforce 8800.

[15:36] hello?????????? someone help me === mooseguy is now known as MooseAI [15:36] marlun: Or, to get just a few files from the backup, you can do whats called loopback mounting. [15:36] well mostly I just want to be able to access the files if I've forgot something. [15:36] yea, never mind man. guess im not really here then [15:37] :) [15:37] marlun: 'loopback' mounting basically pretends like a file on your hard drive (or network, if you're using scp) is a device that can be mounted just like a hard drive device can. === MooseAI is now known as moosguy === moosguy is now known as MooseAI [15:39] mheath: thanks for all the information will try some more when I get home.

[16:23] MessWithTheBest-: Google Translate might help you browse, but probably not download. [16:23] also youtube, facebook is blocked :( [16:23] MessWithTheBest-: (You just tell it to translate English->English) [16:23] MessWithTheBest-: You can Google for Tor. [16:23] xnv: i don't want to go through this old technique [16:23] tor is in the repos [16:24] xnv: sometime i use http://www.unblockglobal.com but i can't download files!

[16:25] Instead of going to places, home folder, and clicking on the folder I made "Downloads" Is there a way to link that folder "downloads" to the places list menu??

It's not that hard and it's well-known software. [16:29] naruto_pr0: intel is a better driver [16:29] Timsen: acpi -V ? [16:30] xnv: no i remembered that my friend used a tool called Tor, i think it works [16:30] MessWithTheBest-: OK, good luck then.

[16:43] ikonia: its an ad-hoc [16:43] cdh_phoenix: whats an ad-hoc ? [16:44] cragbass1976: also, you'll need the createuser to be the same as your unix userid. If not then you need to change the pg_hba.conf file. [16:44] ikonia: standard vista ad-hoc mode [16:44] ikonia: it means no router [16:44] cdh_phoenix: no - whats the dhcp server on your network [16:44] er, craigbass1976 that is (hopefully your irc just lit up) [16:44] ikonia: just two notebooks [16:45] cdh_phoenix: so thats why it's not working- there is no dhcp server [16:45] cdh_phoenix: assign an ip address to your network card, then connect [16:45] cdh_phoenix: make sure its the same ip range as the vista box [16:45] can growisofs auto eject after burn ? or auto mount the disc after burn ? [16:45] xmagixx: I don't think so [16:45] scampbell: is postgres much of a switch my mysql? I'm very savvy with that. Query language should be the same, right?

Especially the inet and cidr data types are really usefull to me. [16:46] just had a quick ? for those using Skype.. do you use the native version or run it thru Wine? I can't find anywhere within the native version to set up a chat [16:46] ikonia: i think so, same subnet as the vista one [16:46] craigbass1976: but there's always learning curve, no avoiding that.

[18:39] kudar: Recompiling you kernel is complex, but if you really want to edit this file, try sudo locate iwl-4965-rs.c [18:39] kudar: try locate iwl-4965-rs.c [18:39] or that [18:40] how can I check to see if a filesystems is good?

[19:08] i have prolink pixel view bt878p card [19:08] it just seemed more polite to ask for a permission, instead of interrupting all your conversation with my question and then maybe be ignored.............. anyway........ is there a way to transfer a partially downloaded torrent to another client?

[19:11] who here can help me with monodevelop or has a working monodevelop instalation? [19:11] Kian84: also, don't worry about asking without asking for permission.

[19:48] shiloh7_, the w32codecs package from medibuntu has codecs to play rm files [19:48] opt1k: I've never seen it I don't think [19:48] soundray: yeah should do. ill load bart pe and see what he can do [19:49] opt1k: oh, you're double-clicking a .sh file or something? [19:49] ActionParsnip: otherwise, try ntfsfix from the ntfstools package (don't know much about that one, but I've heard that it helps) [19:49] how could i hibernate form command line [19:49] opt1k: using GNOME? or KDE? or ...? [19:49] gnome [19:49] gnome [19:49] yeah.. when you double click.. for the lazy people =) [19:49] shiloh7_: you have two options that are better than running the installer you've downloaded: [19:50] jarco: I guess it's a crash, because when I start again FF it is asking me for restore session [19:50] soundray, im all eyes :) [19:50] how could i hibernate form command line [19:50] apt-cacher or approx? your opinion, please! [19:50] Aayush: check the folder /etc/acpi/ [19:50] shiloh7_: 1) install the codecs from the medibuntu repositories OR 2) get the Helix player for Ubuntu -- I think there's an installer for it in apps-data-commercial [19:51] hello [19:51] got prob here [19:51] hi, pageold [19:51] dooglus: btw it'd be cool if you have some papers on it, and how to detecd your what's your n00bish gui so the script works according to that [19:51] !bot > jimcooncat [19:51] jimcooncat, please see my private message [19:51] I'm installing Ubuntu now. I have XP installed already, so it's gonna be a dual boot. But when I reach the partitioner it show no disks.

[19:59] opt1k: I've never had good experiences with embedded (non-flash) video in firefox under linux. the mplayer plugin is indeed weird for me too. sometimes it doesn't play, other times it plays the movie twice, etc. [19:59] depends Prose. if you set the rights accordingly. Also your browser must be able to do uploads over ftp [19:59] opt1k: you could try the other firefox movie plugins - I think maybe totem or xine ones exist [19:59] what is the name to install KDE in terminal using apt-get? [19:59] but it is a ftp server with all rings and bells like the rest [19:59] dooglus: that sucks.. i've had totem, and it plays a vid to a certain point then it just stops [19:59] like FF3 has an extension if I remember right for ftp transfers [19:59] edgyhardy: package kubuntu-desktop probably [20:00] dooglus: i'll try xine since that's the only thing i didn't try out. divx should really port their web player to linux.

[20:41] tehboriz, honestly, if your server is working and you're confident enough with your security issues then why change? It's one thing to want to learn about a new system, but it's another to break a working system on an experimental whim. Try setting up a server that you aren't reliant on and you'll see how easy or difficult it is. [20:41] tehboriz: fast is relative. should start in about 30 seconds, but start up time souldn't be an issue when considering a server. Uptime is more important [20:41] well hiptobecubic obviously windows isn't great for servers [20:42] it uses up unnecessary cpu usage, and my apache php module is broken [20:42] red hat is another version of linux...similiar to ubuntu [20:42] tehboriz, if it's such common knowledge, then why did you start with it [20:42] i must have it fixed [20:42] tehboriz: what are you moving from [20:42] cause i needed some experience with servers [20:42] gnute: sorry, gtg. good luck :) [20:42] yoyoned: i have xp right now... very embarassing [20:42] i'm thinking of moving to ubuntu server [20:43] tehboriz: it's not hard.

[21:11] _Zeus_: when it's installed on the computer [21:11] <_Zeus_> about 3.5GB? [21:11] i got some problems with my windows partition after installaing ubuntu... it starts up with a blue screen... can someone help me [21:11] _Zeus_: WHAT [21:11] what different ways are there to configure X from cli? [21:12] i have a question pertaining to Ubuntu-Server-Heron randomly wiping the /etc/group file [21:12] <_Zeus_> tehboriz: maybe 2.5, 3 [21:12] m3phisto23 Did you install from inside windows with the wubi installer by chance [21:12] that's some nice compression rate [21:12] <_Zeus_> why? [21:12] what the hell that's bigger than half of vista [21:12] i'm running this on a 4gb hard drive [21:12] what's with the bloat [21:12] no. i installed it outside of win [21:12] tehboriz: i can't see it being that big [21:12] with the normal cd [21:12] tehboriz: I also have my doubts on that size [21:12] Daisuke_Ido: i've got like 700mb being burned... [21:13] i hope most of it is the stuff for the livecd to work [21:13] exit [21:13] I hear Debian is 20GB.. [21:13] what? [21:13] pen, did you read my answer? the best one is the one that is adapted to your LCD screen. i don't know the subpixel order of your screen. however, most screens use the same order as the one ubuntu is set to by default. [21:13] oh sweet lord, quit pulling numbers out of your butt! [21:13] <_Zeus_> tehboriz: actual number is 2.2GB fir server [21:13] does Xconfigure work on 804? need to make changes [21:13] <_Zeus_> i was thinking of desktop [21:13] it is not possible to enter the wind partition from ubuntu [21:13] <_Zeus_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=100686 [21:13] no, actual number is 500mb for server. [21:13] magnetron, RGB is the default [21:13] <_Zeus_> um, no [21:13] whats the default root password? [21:13] <_Zeus_> oh wait [21:13] sweetgu1: there isn't one, you don't need one [21:13] <_Zeus_> Daisuke_Ido is right [21:14] m3phisto23 You can read and write the windows partitions in ubuntu. [21:14] sweetgu1 ther is no defoult root pw [21:14] sweetgu1: use sudo [21:14] !root [21:14] 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 [21:14] hey [21:14] nickweb, it didn't get fix by changing eveyrhitng to ALSA [21:14] <_Zeus_> The base install (server) takes up just under 400 megs of space (plus filesystem data, reserved blocks, swap, think 500 megs of raw disk space) [21:14] haha Jack_Sparrow [21:14] I'm trying to mount a dmg file using dmgmounter and it says that the file was successfully mounted then "Couldn't find media/iphone_sdk_final". Anyone know how to use this app? [21:14] bobertdos: i cant login with sudo to root [21:14] no sorry. its not possible... it ubuntu is not able to load show the files. the partition seems to be broken [21:14] does ubuntu come with preinstalled mail/sendmail/exim/etc [21:15] <_Zeus_> opt1k: i don't think so, but you can use tasksel to install it [21:15] _Zeus_: the numbers out of butt thing was the quoted 20gb for debian, which is absolutely ridiculous [21:15] <_Zeus_> !tasksel [21:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about tasksel [21:15] sweetgu1: Are you trying to login to a live session or something? [21:15] bobertdos: actually im using su, how do i use sudo, no not a live session [21:15] <_Zeus_> Daisuke_Ido: oh yeah definately. i was thinking about the desktop version, the server version is about 500MB [21:15] ubuntu-server-heron wiped my /etc/group file and now I can't log in or really do anything, trying to figure out how to rebuild it, or something similar [21:15] yeah, desktop's a couple gb easy :D [21:15] is it possible to see dvd menu in totem? [21:15] anyone on cinfigureing X? [21:15] sweetgu1 sudo -s [21:15] Daisuke_Ido: well I dont know, I wanted to download debian some time ago and it had 20 ISO labeled part 1 to 20 [21:16] _Zeus_: k,ty [21:16] Prose: those aren't all necessary [21:16] in fact, only the first is necessary [21:16] Jack_Sparrow: thx worked [21:16] cool [21:16] Daisuke_Ido: I see, good to know [21:16] sweetgu1: sudo is used with your regular user password........and if if you really prefer a constant root session, use sudo -i [21:16] the rest are probably packages making up the rest of the repo [21:16] <_Zeus_> Daisuke_Ido: the desktop is about 4gb, yeah [21:17] hiya, anyone managed to get over a problem with quake3 and ubuntu, get a /dev/dsp mmap error [21:17] bobertdos: doesn't sudo su do it ? [21:17] Prose that is nt the best choice [21:17] anyone here use empathy? [21:17] <_Zeus_> !ask | Coder7 [21:17] Coder7: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [21:17] Prose, sudo su makes su redundant. why become root (with sudo) only to run another program that makes you root (su) ? [21:18] unop: because sudo su makes you superuser as long as you dont close the Terminal [21:18] please someone help with configuring video and monitor from cli? [21:18] how do u open .cer files in the comand line? [21:18] <_Zeus_> bujar: nano? [21:18] ? [21:18] Prose, sudo -i is what you need then. [21:18] prose so does the other option [21:18] <_Zeus_> what is a .cer file? [21:18] Prose, or sudo -s depending [21:18] does empathy support audio or video yet? if so, how do you set it up and use it? [21:18] :) [21:18] how can i tweak the touchpad sensitiviy? [21:18] ok, i have a question regarding the mutt & mutt-patched packages... do i have to install the mutt package first and then mutt-patched or i can just install mutt-patched w/o mutt ? [21:19] can someone please help me rebuild an /etc/group file?

[21:19] all right then, Ill look at the man pages for sudo and see what this -i and -s business is all about [21:19] wpa suplicant they are config files [21:19] devo, errm, do you have the backup at /etc/group- ? [21:19] does totem supports dvd menu? [21:19] Jim_p? [21:19] <_Zeus_> xukun: for menu support, try VLC or totem-xine [21:20] opt1k, APT is specifically designed to sort out that sort of problems automatically. install any package you like. if any other package is needed, it will install those automagically [21:20] how do u open .cer .conf files [21:20] <_Zeus_> bujar: nano, gedit, kate, emace?

[21:20] magnetron: ty [21:21] enl810d, yes. [21:21] bujar: The vast majority of the most important config files in Ubuntu are just plaintext. [21:21] enl810d: yes, if you install/enable the ssh server first [21:21] opt1k, np [21:21] _Zeus_, the strange thing is that in vlc no sound comes from my logitech usb headset and totem there is sound. [21:21] jim_p, da-da-dam. [21:21] i got my AR242x working! \o/ ...sort of [21:21] okay everyone, I've got an awesome problem to deal with... [21:21] nkei0: That's awesome, tell us! :D [21:21] enl810d: yeah you need Putty and WinSPC for filetransfers === kavon is now known as pedobear [21:22] opt1k: libasound is installed, but '/usr/lib64/libasound.so' & '/usr/lib64/libasound.so.2' = no such file or directory. suggestions? [21:22] xukun: I've had issues with my sound, always seems to center around pulseaudio troubles. I set VLC to use pulseaudio as the default output, and then I have to run `pulseaudio -k` followed by `pulseaudio -D` to get it working [21:22] I was in windows clearing out a bunch of stuff and I think i deleted the wrong files and now i get the error msg saying my hal.dll is bad and i need to replace that to start ubuntu... I've replaced it with a new one and now i can't even get into windows and the only way into ubuntu is the live cd [21:22] anyone here use EtherApe and can tell me what a normal connection should look like??? [21:22] anyone have AR242x experience with madwifi? I got halfway following their instructions, my wired connection now works (hooray) but my wifi still does not [21:22] <_Zeus_> xukun: install totem-xine [21:22] hi [21:22] hi, bill--22 [21:23] <_Zeus_> nkei0: ubuntu doesn't use .dlls [21:23] nkei0, hal.dll is only needed to boot windows === pedobear is now known as chris_hansen [21:23] what's the most linux friendly nx client? [21:23] now, i've found that i need to edit the boot.ini to change which drive it's looking to for ubuntu however i don't know how to save it as i can't su in terminal on the live cd because it asks for a password which i don't know [21:23] rather, ubuntu-friendly [21:23] !grub | nkei0 [21:23] yes i found that out after i replace the hal.dll in windows [21:23] nkei0: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [21:23] <_Zeus_> nkei0: you're not using GRUB, are you [21:23] gnute: well not quite... but you can always sudo mk /usr/lib64 and sudo cp -r libasound.so /usr/lib64/libasound.so [21:23] gnute: maybe that helps [21:24] how do i get permissions to open a .conf file?

[21:25] <_Zeus_> slackpipe: sudo umount /dev/sdxx [21:25] What commands to use, to see if graphics drivers are correct [21:25] I have problem to save the SSID with graphical interfcae [21:26] <_Zeus_> where xx is what label was assigned to the drive [21:26] is sendmail-bin the package from sendmail.org?

What's going on? [21:27] Where is the folder for bitchx where i can edit the configs etc [21:27] _Zeus_, dell? [21:27] xukun: it's under audio->output modules, but you have to have advanced options checked [21:27] <_Zeus_> RandyboY: didn't you have a dell? [21:27] <_Zeus_> or was it an acer... [21:28] _Zeus_, im stating it is an acer aspire 6920 :) [21:28] <_Zeus_> oh sorry [21:28] <_Zeus_> just post in general help then [21:28] bill--22: I guess you should set up a keyring then [21:28] Jack_Sparrow: Well I'm now in linux, used the command line to get connected. So i'm thinking it's a problem with the network manager [21:28] _Zeus_, done that too :) [21:29] prose: how i can do that???

[21:29] Coder7, I don't have pulseaudio in the vlc preference [21:29] Winston_SmithVT: you could just use /etc/network/interfaces [21:29] _Zeus_, i see now im only stating Aspire ;) Lemme change to Acer Aspire ;) [21:29] hey it still won't let me save because it's on a read-only disk, anyway to change that?

I have never had much luck with the guis. [21:30] _Zeus_: when i try to save the boot.ini [21:30] <_Zeus_> nkei0: is this in ubuntu? use sudo to edit it [21:30] bill--22: well the thing is that if youre using network manager, a keyring should already have been created, AFAIK [21:30] <_Zeus_> try gksu gedit /boot.ini === Juje is now known as Juje007 [21:31] yes it's in ubuntu, i used gksu gedit to edit it [21:31] <_Zeus_> can you post the line from your /etc/fstab corresponding to your windows partition? [21:31] _Zeus_: I have no idea what that is. I'm still pretty new to all of this. [21:31] Jack_Sparrow, ive been helping in a support chan myself, so i know a little about the repeating in larger intervals to let people join and maybe be able to help :) [21:32] thanks dudes u r great [21:32] :) [21:32] bill--22: I really don't have experience with this, but first stop for you (and an easy one) should be to go to System - Preferenes - Keyrings (Something like that) [21:32] <_Zeus_> nkei0: could you paste the contents of the file /etc/fstab?

[21:52] draginxx: Yes, Ctrl-c, or mostly written as ^c terminates the process you are currently running in your terminal.

HAve you changed your sources.list, added things manually etc [21:56] Jack_Sparrow: the only thing i did was last night after i just installed a fresh install was install my nvidia drive [21:56] driver* [21:56] phoenixz what are you trying to accomplish.. [21:57] Jack_Sparrow: I'm aware of that. However, this laptop is an old P-III-m on an old Compaq Evo N600c laptop that has been loaned to me. I tried the cd-fresh approach, but it wouldn't install. I had to use an older, similar-to-ubuntu, cd--which worked--and now I just want to change the sources and work from that angle. [21:57] b3lorixx Since it is a fresh install I would do it again and test it before messing with the video driver.. Which driver and HOW did you install it [21:57] phoenixz: sorry, I misunderstood :), but as far as I know, ssh-server isn't activated by default, I'm not sure if it is installed. And as I haven't used a live CD for a long time, I won't be of much help to you :( [21:58] Jack_Sparrow: He is on the other side of the world, just started to work with windows which sucks because after 2 days the compu died of virusses.. he wants to try linux after my suggestion, but he will need help..

[21:59] opt1k no idea [21:59] I could try windows quick fix aka...reboot :P [22:00] Jack_Sparrow: but.. if I install openssh-server, with what account could I login? what account exists on the linux live CD? with what password?

Or do I have to load each one explicitly? [22:25] tehboriz, have you tested the cd? [22:25] nope [22:25] i assumed my cdrw was fine [22:25] I have an ASUS F3Sc Laptop and couldn't magane to get the sound work checked the forums and tried what they say but it is not working. [22:25] can you get to the menu and select it? [22:25] is there a possible problem with it? [22:25] yeah hold on brb [22:25] can someone verify that doing 'cat /etc/issue' print the ubuntu version?

[22:32] yes Scunizi i went into bios to change [22:32] or else it wouldnt show the ubuntu screen at all :p [22:32] arooni It probably will never see it [22:32] Jack_Sparrow, why not? === pico is now known as Guest25619 [22:33] arooni It requires special drivers and drivers for those are few and far between in linux [22:33] tehboriz: just came in the diagnostics late.. I didn't catch any of your previous explainations.. [22:33] opt1k, it probably means /var/mail/opt1k is a symlink to another symlink (and so on) - you have a couple of options. 1) this file shouldn't normally be a symlink - so you can delete it and recreate a new blank file (with touch) 2) find out where the symlinks eventually take you, then symlink directly to that target. [22:33] Scunizi: ah that's okay [22:34] unop: i'll go with the first option, too tired for anything else =) thx!

Before when I've tried using dd or rsync it's caused a black hole where my hard drives break the laws of physics. Any suggestions? :P [22:57] Jack_Sparrow: no, i assumed since there was no progress on a file.. AND that it did not show up in the "downloads" window.. that it just went away.. but on top of that i haven't seen the files in anyplae obvious.. and i wouldn't know why it would just randomly download elsewhere than the target location.. and do so with no trace [22:57] kzona, you're offtopic - please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [22:58] ok, sorry [22:58] how can i make sure i have all dependencies installed before compiling something [22:58] apt-get build-dep [22:58] but always try to use pre-built packages [22:59] jayde_drag0n Just a thought that it was d/l just not where you expected it and that there were no permission issues with where you were sending it [22:59] \attach irc.tin.it [22:59] Jack_Sparrow: also i haven't done any installs to ff since i first loaded ubuntu... and that has been quite some time.. this was a recent occurrence .. notable tho.. i "think" it coincided with my windows install.. but thats very bizarre and random [23:00] I seem to have lots of crashes now, that i update the system ?

[23:05] jayde_drag0n I cant rule out the problem as those are probably on automatic update. [23:05] under Hardy, my Dell inspiron 6400 doesn't turn off when I hibernate it.

[23:12] And I have thousands of images, so I think I have better things to do than upload images into OO.org. :) [23:12] itsatrick: lol [23:13] opt1k: In t-home in Germany? You should check t-home's web site for info about SMTP relaying. I'll check out mutt configuration meanwhile. [23:15] spunk: nope, t-com croatia, and i'll try to find the info about smtp relaying [23:15] opt1k: great. [23:16] anyone? [23:16] bobbyd, how can I help? [23:16] Or at least attempt to.

[23:20] how do i resize my partition with gparted? i umounted the partition, but it stills says someone is using it [23:20] is there other tool, some cli tool to do this job? [23:20] zefyr, that people enjoy being able to read text [23:21] datacrusher, parted (gparted is a frontend to parted) [23:21] datacrusher: My best guess is that you have something on there. I don't think you can resize a partition that's used. [23:21] hm. so it will crash the same way saing its used [23:22] theres some files in it , its my /home partition [23:22] bobbyd, there is also apparently an acpi bug in the most recent kernel, upgrading or downgrading might be the only solution [23:22] i formated and created it with a huge size, forgote to create a partition to do my backup, now i need to make another one [23:22] see this thread: http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?s=c79044ee25a16cefa914b2afe3eb83e7&t=887820 [23:22] hey guys. how to i dot my kmix so that I can record from my sound card please [23:22] opt1k: search terms you could try: SMTP, mail, proxy, config, email setup, Outlook [23:22] chubs_: it's been happening across multiple kernel versions [23:22] Could someone help me play my music using mpd and ssh from a remote location?> [23:23] datacrusher, you can't partition a drive you're using. a livecd would be the easiest way [23:23] spunk: ty, i'm on it === erichammond2 is now known as erichammond [23:24] bobbyd, how many kernel versions? how long has it been happening?

[23:28] dam it did't copy [23:28] http://psradich.deviantart.com/art/Random-Joy-89849169 [23:28] . [23:29] seanAtheros, thanks - chubs_ , i liked it /more/ because it's got more options. it did have some trouble connecting though which networkmanager never did [23:29] onx, ahh, makes sense [23:29] profiles are a good thing though [23:32] hi there [23:32] i have a problem [23:32] great [23:32] now we wil mind read wich one ;0) [23:32] is0, nice [23:32] i need libc.so.5: === freqk is now known as freqk|away [23:33] i try to run grads [23:33] but this doesent work [23:33] how do i get the current time from cli? [23:33] is0, bye [23:34] MitsuoDeshoDesho: 'date' [23:34] Hi, may I ask why there is no package selection in ubuntu gui install? Something like in red hat. Or maybe I just havent choosen right boot options? [23:34] Aloha :-) - Does someone use asterisk together with mISDN as a FAX-solution ? [23:34] AbstractScroll: most likely due to ubuntu installing gnome by default with everything needed for a desktop [23:35] AbstractScroll See the alternate or minimal cd [23:36] Thanks, I have installed this desktop trough alternate cd. Btw I have to admit ubuntu did wonders for linux, I did use it as desktop in 2000 or something (slackware) and eventually gave up, but this is almost windows like now. Amazing [23:38] O-ooh - you used the W-word ;-) [23:38] Danskmand, useable [23:38] better? [23:39] Hehe - a lot ! [23:39] Danskmand, i hate windows as well [23:39] AbstractScroll, it's already much nicer than windows in a lot of ways [23:39] Well yeah, I mostly admin W systems :), although we have linux based servers also. Anyway this is actually usefull for desktop for ordinary person. Nothing needed to be compiled from source :) [23:39] im not sure if this is the place to ask, but i run a program from console pretty often. For this i need to have root access, is there a way to edit this out so i dont need to type the pass in the terminal when i open the launcher? [23:39] onx, like how it works? [23:39] if it weren't for the things that don't work... [23:40] Evening everyone, i ran into some trouble with ubuntu and could use some help..What is my best resource other than this room? [23:40] BBLake, ubuntu forums [23:40] ubuntuforums.org [23:40] can i run a question out here and maybe you can point me the right direction on the forums? [23:40] AbstractScroll: if you want your choice of gui's you can always install xfce or kde and pick which to run at the uname/password entry screen.. [23:41] Pnux: well, it depends. In general it is a good thing that you don't gain root access straight off, so you should consider if you really need to run your stuff as root. [23:41] pnux@pnux-desktop:~$ /opt/lampp/lampp start [23:41] You need to start XAMPP as root! [23:41] Scunizi mhm, I prefer xfce, well in the old days I used something called wmaker, it was quite nice also [23:41] i installed what i thought was an ubuntu studio theme, and now it's showing edubuntu at th elogin, and is taking FOREVER to boot. I think it installed an extra kernal [23:41] Phux, what program are you running regularly? [23:42] XAMPP [23:42] its just that one [23:42] AbstractScroll: to install xfce.. sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop then just change sessions on boot. [23:42] Pnux, what do you need xampp for when you have php and apache in the repos? [23:42] Pnux, sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start [23:42] mysql and perl :P [23:42] Pnux: well, you could change the owner to root and set the suid-bit. but that give everyone that possibility if you do not restrict the access to the program. [23:43] Pnux, everything just mentioned is already in the repos [23:43] i know unop, but i have to type the pass everytime i run it [23:43] !lamp | Pnux [23:43] Pnux: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [23:43] Hello. I am a new linux user. I just downloaded a program, and the installer has a ".run" extension. How do I install it? [23:43] unop: Pnux wants to avoid typing in his pw. [23:43] Scunizi yeah I know :), I just needed to comment on how supprised I am that linux is actually usefull for normal desktop use. [23:43] hi, damijit [23:43] hi :D [23:43] Pnux, there is also mysql in the repos, all of which start themselves up on boot...all respond to the use of sudo via /etc/init.d start/stop/restart/force-reload [23:43] Pnux, i don't think you should run as root all the time [23:44] How can you tell what version of ubuntu, or edubuntu you are on? [23:44] Ho-ly-shit !!! - On Discovery, they had a little boat-ride.... [23:44] Pnux, well, you'll have to source support for this lampp package from the author/vendor - we can only really support ubuntu packages/setups here [23:44] BBLake, open system monitor [23:44] 4000 horsepower and 274 km/h !! [23:44] i got XAMPP installed already, i dont mind if its on the repos.. al i want is to avoid typing my password everytime i run the launcher [23:44] AbstractScroll: aahh. good.. it is nice.. we'd all like to see others make use of it as a desktop as well.. [23:44] I am on Ubuntu, Hardy Heron. I'm not sure the version number, how do I check? [23:44] damien_, 8.04 or 8.04.1 [23:44] erm [23:44] Pnux, for what it's worth, if you setup LAMP as per the howto for ubuntu - you won't need to enter a password === Lappy is now known as Daremonai [23:44] damijit, 8.04 or 8.04.1 [23:44] Pnux running as root is just plain stupid and leads to horrible problems [23:45] Blender won't close when I use killall -9, help? [23:45] damijit, system monitor [23:45] pnux@pnux-desktop:~$ /opt/lampp/lampp start [23:45] You need to start XAMPP as root! [23:45] Danskmand !ot [23:45] theres no other way that running it as root [23:45] damijit, if you flag the .run filoe as executable you should be able to execute it directly from the command line [23:45] It says ubuntu, but on login it says edubuntu? Is that just a themed login for ubuntu studio? [23:45] than* [23:45] Pnux, i would suggest setting up LAMP the 'ubuntu way' :) [23:45] agreed [23:46] Pnux, /msg ubottu !lamp [23:46] gotta go [23:46] :) [23:46] Scunizi that will be hard I'm afraid, one of my friends also a "professional computer technician" took a look at it and concluded it's shit since he couldnt find a control panel :), OMG, all you have to be is literate, everything is in the default menu :). But come to think of it, he might not be the best professional I know :). [23:46] already read the !lamp [23:46] airtonix, how do I flag the file as executable? [23:46] Problem solved. [23:46] chmod a+x [23:46] damijix [23:46] BBLake, lsb_release -a [23:47] so why is it better to set it the "ubuntu way"? [23:47] Or chmod +x [23:47] AbstractScroll: "professionals" probably aren't the best converts.. too set in their ways most of the time.. but not always. :) [23:47] Pnux: an ugly solution would be to set the suid bit. From top of my head: 'chmod 4770 ' Make sure that you belong to the same group. [23:47] Heh..i gave up on smtp 4 tonight [23:47] Pnux For one.. it will work [23:47] Pnux, because we can then support it in here .. and it will work quite simply [23:47] the one i have works as well [23:47] OK, airtonix. def ubuntu. I installed the ubuntustudio theme, (which i love), but now it's taking 5 minutes to boot. Also seeing different kernels in grub. What could have happened? Before yesterday, it took 20 seconds to boot [23:47] the one i have works quite simply [23:48] Pnux, your choice - but we can't really support what you have - so anything further on it is offtopic [23:48] does anyone here know how to get audacity to record fromm mplayer ? [23:48] Is there a command that say remove all exempt (this file) [23:49] timo, what do you mean? [23:49] Remove every other file but save folder (home) [23:50] Or, asked in a different way, does someone use a fax-gateway or has someone installed one ? - I need some advice.... [23:50] Timo: rm /dir/* [23:50] hello [23:50] timo, delete every file under a directory named home ?

[23:51] !helpme [23:51] Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience === Griverr is now known as Griver [23:51] So the best way to get help is to scream?
