[00:00] Jack_Sparrow and there goes my chance to be good samaritan :) [00:00] unop: http://pastebin.com/m26c958ea [00:00] Syslq There will be more op's [00:00] Jack_Sparrow: but look another problme is dual boot. [00:00] tvanover, don't parse ls like that.. the output of ls wasn't meant to be parsed. find . -user tvanover -exec chown anotheruser {} \; [00:00] Iris Save your files first [00:00] Jack_Sparrow: with windows :( [00:00] Jack_Sparrow - i want to install ubuntu. will my system work on ubuntu? i mean the ethernet card sound card etc., [00:01] timo, wrong use of sudo [00:01] timo, no. shopt -s extglob; sudo rm -r !(home) [00:01] Jack_Sparrow: I don't care about the OS but do I gonna be able to get into the ubuntu again and save it ? [00:01] gabbar We use a livecd that does not install so people can test thier hardware on this is [00:01] g'nite all! [00:01] Heh, dual boot in age of virtual machines :). Just makes no sense [00:01] Files are still there [00:01] i was just kinda of confused with the ubuntu file structure like in windows all your new install go in program files where do your new installs go in ubuntu ? [00:02] Iris save /home and you are well on your way to recovery [00:02] unop: thanks [00:02] ls [00:02] gabbar, just burn it to cd and try it out. it will boot without making any changes to your system yet [00:02] timo, did the command give you any errors? [00:02] Syslq: its still needed if u want to play games under windblows and have compiz working under linux... [00:03] im root now http://pastebin.com/m2857de8a [00:03] PHAZE the apt-get debs are in /var/cache/apt/archives but the installed files are all over [00:03] unop: no errors just no result [00:03] PHAZE, having all your logs in one section of the harddrives lends it self to better hardrive peformance...wouldnt you agree? [00:03] oh really there isn't just one directory [00:03] Jack_Sparrow: so let see if I undertood pop the live cd and after when it opens my files will be there... [00:03] onx so u mean i can go to website and download ubuntu and burn it then just insert the cd and ubuntu will start?> [00:03] its ok i do it by hand [00:04] Jack_Sparrow oh i didnt know it ! [00:04] true antonix [00:04] Jack_Sparrow: sorry to ask too many silly question as you see I'm not good on that. [00:04] gabbar, yes [00:04] timo, try this command first. set +H [00:04] sudo nautilus and delete the folders [00:04] timo, then that one again [00:04] wile im root [00:04] Iris it may take more work but that is where you start [00:04] timo, don't use sudo with graphical applications.. use gksudo for that [00:04] timo, i.e. gksudo nautilus [00:04] ok [00:04] timo gksudo nautilus.. never sudo nautilus [00:04] Jack_Sparrow: the main problem is how can I do the job... :( [00:04] onx where would i get the drivers for ethernet card grpahic drivers sound card drivers etc., [00:05] i love ubuntu but the file structure is confusing to me [00:05] Iris one step at a time [00:05] tulimaq I like windows just fine I just dislike their insane licensing policys etc... But ubuntu seems to be very fine alternative :) [00:05] PHAZE file structure is as in every other linux I think [00:05] but windows is so dummy down to anyone can use it [00:05] gabbar if supported you wont need to get them yourself [00:05] Filesystem hirarchy standard I mean [00:05] FHS [00:06] thank you done! [00:06] Jack_Sparrow: right let see what I can do... [00:06] how do I connect to a wifi? my card is detecting my router, i'm in KDE [00:06] Jack_Sparrow: but thanks anyway... [00:06] PHAZE, no reason windows is so simplified is to reduce the amount of help desk requirements and make it easier to employ 'anyone' in the help desk role [00:06] PHAZE you can read a nifty pdf on it, just google, and I think [00:06] Jack_Sparrow ok. [00:06] on what [00:06] airtonix* [00:07] !files [00:07] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [00:07] <^Phantom^> Update Manager says "You can install 236 updates" [00:07] anyone? [00:07] i bet you get dummy questions like that everyday lol [00:08] Dormie, I havent tried kubuntu in awihle, so i woulden't know. [00:08] <^Phantom^> PHAZE i've seen dumber people [00:08] true [00:08] Is the network manager in kde like in the gnome version? [00:08] can I do so in terminal, keen101? [00:08] no [00:08] Jack_Sparrow Do i need to learn some commands to operate ubuntu? [00:09] Airtonix, PHAZE sorry but simplified is positive in my book. But hey, about anyone doing it, well that's simply bullshit. Managing any enviroment requires certain amount of knowledge and I mean general computing knowledge [00:09] gabbar no [00:09] <^Phantom^> most people that come here have at least some idea of what they're doing [00:09] i been trying to learn linux ubuntu for a while on and off through VMware workstation 6 its a really easy way to test it out i have also install it on my system when i had my other hard drive working lol [00:09] Jack_Sparrow ok [00:09] wtf wtf wtf [00:10] lns40, watch your language [00:10] !wtf [00:10] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:10] ahahahaha [00:10] hmm [00:10] lol [00:10] Am I late? [00:10] thanks that made my day [00:10] what is the difference between ubuntu, kubuntu, and edubuntu? [00:10] People btw any directions on proper way to install codecs (video, audio) un linux these days? [00:10] !wtf [00:10] how can I extract a small clip of audio from a .avi file ? [00:10] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:11] x) [00:11] Syslq hey hi and is linux = ubuntu ? [00:11] BBLake Ubuntu uses gnome, Kubuntu uses KDE desktop enviroments. [00:11] gabbar linux is kernel not os [00:11] OK [00:11] and edubuntu? same thing kde? [00:11] <^Phantom^> I have ubuntu 7.10 [00:11] ok whats the difference in KDE and gnome [00:11] <^Phantom^> Should I upgrade? [00:11] So the ONLY difference is desktop environment? [00:12] can't you install KDE on ubuntu? [00:12] BBLake: Edubuntu uses GNOME but bundles a lot of the KDE educational software [00:12] PHAZE: yes u can [00:12] PHAZE: yes, but then why not just install Kubuntu? [00:12] true [00:12] <^Phantom^> Or rather *should* i upgrade? [00:12] So what should i install? ubuntu or kubuntu or edbuntu??? iam totally new to his [00:12] could you switch back and forth? [00:12] PHAZE: yes [00:13] PHAZE KDE is desktop enviroment that has is based on qt or omething and it's applications need it's librarys, GNOME is based on GTK, if you want to install GNOME app on kde you allso need to install a shitload of librarys that that app depends on [00:13] kool how so? [00:13] i think i have my BUNTU's mixed up [00:13] oh so its not easy i can see [00:13] Syslq: "a lot" is preferabel int his channel [00:13] *preferable [00:13] Phantom, you should at least upgrade to 8.04 since it is a LTS release. It will be supported until the next one. [00:13] unless you know linux [00:13] i downloaded a kde theme i think, and it messed with my gnome enviroment, taking forever to load [00:13] gabbar: install ubuntu and after that you can install kubuntu and xubuntu and then on the username screen when booting choose which one you want to use that day. [00:13] keen101, if I connect to my router in gnome will it carry over to kde? [00:13] PHAZE you can consider them as framework if you like [00:14] what did they change in 8.04 ? [00:14] But that could be argued I guess [00:14] <^Phantom^> 8.04 LTS the one I want? [00:14] yea [00:14] Dormie, possibly. but, i really don't know. [00:14] I want to replace 2 files, but I am getting "permission denied". How do I override this? [00:14] thanks bye [00:14] how do you do that syslq? [00:14] PHAZE what? [00:14] damien_: use "sudo" when issuing the command [00:15] I'm watching tv beside chatting :) [00:15] scunizi, from what your saying, maybe the theme isn't my problem. Whatever happened destroyed my ability to boot up..takes forever [00:15] sys: how do you consider them as a framework [00:15] I am in the GUI, how do I sudo? Or do I need to use the command line? [00:15] dormie, put this in terminal: network-admin [00:15] BBLake: once loaded change the theme back to the original and see what happens. [00:16] <^Phantom^> Is it true what I hear, that linux is better for editing video files than windows? [00:16] change out of the themes, then reboot? good idea...going to try that [00:16] do i need to delete, or just not select as an option? [00:16] damijit: what program u want to run ? [00:16] damijit: what files are you trying to replace and where are they located? [00:16] hey all [00:17] PHAZE well it's deskop enviroment and as any desktop enviroment has a lot of librarys available to you wich you can use to build your own apps. And a whole lot of librarys designed to make your coding productive in some direction would be definition of framework, but as said that's arguable, framework is JAVA or .net and they both implement virtual machine but that's out of the topic [00:17] I know this is a question for firefox, but no one in there seems to know the answer to my question, so I figure I would try here [00:17] BBLake: just make the change and apply.. that should do it.. or CTRL+ALT+Backspace which restarts the gui but doesn't really reboot the machine. [00:17] yep,....be back in 10 (or 2 minutes if this works) :) Crossing fingers. [00:17] I am running firefox 3. I have the smart bookmarks plugin installed to allow bookmarks in my bookmarks toolbar to only display the webpage icons [00:17] Scunizi: restarts X server u mean [00:18] this toolbar is full [00:18] Tulimaq and Scunizi: I downloaded the game "Enemy Territory" and installed into /usr/local/games. I downloaded the patch, and apparently what I'm supposed to do is replace the .x86 files with the patched ones. It is when doing this that I am getting permission denied. [00:18] Tulimaq: right.. but for a newbee it looks like a gui reboot [00:18] well is this task a big one to do if i wanted to mess with it? [00:18] Btw, I was asking for real what would be the best way to install codecs on ubuntu, (something like codecs pack on windows), is there entire package that covers it all or something? [00:18] is there a way for me to expand that toolbar to a second bar? [00:18] damijit: and you're trying to use the file manager to drag and drop? [00:18] <^Phantom^> Is 8.04 LTS the version I will want to upgrade to? [00:18] yes [00:19] hey Jack_Sparrow I got ubuntu install [00:19] damijit, you may need to use the chown command. === _LordC is now known as LordC [00:19] * nullcool_ say hello! :S ......WTF i had never enter this chanel...:P [00:19] damijit: then you need to start the file manager as "root".. sudo nautilus .. copy your files then close the file manager because it too dangerous to leave open.. [00:20] PHAZE: I don't mean to patronize you, but you are aware that the bookmarks expand into a dropdown meu at the end, right? You could also reorganize the bar to bring the ones you use most often back to the front....... [00:20] *sigh* ok, i've got no internet in a FRESH install of ubuntu. i'm not at all familiar with linux. i've suplied dns servers, tried static and automatic ip's... i don't understand why i would have no net :( pls help === Kabaka[A] is now known as Kabaka [00:20] damijit: Alt + F2 and type "gksu nautilus" to run file manager as root [00:20] nateeee have you tried ifup eth0? [00:20] or eth1 [00:20] hey folks is there anything I can do to make windows easier to resize in gnome? [00:20] :) === hipertracker_ is now known as hipertracker [00:20] <^Phantom^> Is 8.04 LTS fully compatible with VirtualBox? [00:20] Hi could some one please help or explain why. i have just done two fresh installs of ubuntu yet again, one on my desktop and one on my laptop. on the desktop my wifi works stright away with out doing any thing, but on the laptop it does not even show up, is that normall, same install from same cd [00:21] damijit: what Tulimaq said.. I forgot about gksu or gksudo before nautilus [00:21] so i installed ubuntu over the network, add to late_command to join an AD domain, the computer shows up in AD and domainjoin-cli query shows it's on the domain. But I can't login as a domain user. Any suggestions? [00:21] yeah the bar with the applications , places and systems [00:21] darren__ Supported hardware? [00:21] damijitjoshuajtl, do a defragment [00:21] anyone know of a python-gasp channel that I could get some answers from? [00:21] darren__ yeah but not same wifi cards :) [00:21] which would be called a taskbar in windows [00:21] joshuajtl, do a defragment on you win drive before resizing.

[00:22] keen101: talking about windows, not Windows [00:22] joshuajtl I agree with keen101 [00:22] resizing windows not MS Windows [00:22] It seems to have worked. Thanks for your help! [00:22] damijit: np [00:22] nateeeee paste it to me on private [00:22] output of ifconfig -a [00:22] PHAZE: I'm sorry, I directed to the wrong person. I hate it when I do that :p [00:22] joshuajtl, oh i see. heh lol [00:22] Jack_Sparrow, would a new wifi make any dif or is it the hardware in the lapto [00:22] Jack_Sparrow: talking about windows, not Windows, resizing windows in gnome... not Windows MS [00:22] Sys [00:23] lol im confused now [00:23] its koo [00:23] hey AMAROK run slowly since i install emesene......any opinion???....(happy independence day....from mexico) :D [00:23] I was afk....someone answered me ?

[00:25] ^Phantom^: yes [00:25] OsamaK: other than Jack_Sparrow 's suggestion you could also right mouse click on the top bar and choose "add to panel" then choose "System Monitor".. that will give you access to processes and let you kill them. [00:25] OsamaK ps [00:25] Oh, ok....So, no answers...I guess I have to find out "somehow"..... [00:25] I'm not sure I'm in the right channel for this: Anyone have any experience with using autofs mounts on top of an nfs-root on a diskless box?

[00:26] hi, KiLl3rCaM [00:26] Scunizi: That's what I was looking for. Thank you :) [00:26] darren__: www.pastebin.com [00:27] hi [00:27] OsamaK: np [00:27] hi, KiLl3rCaM [00:27] hi [00:27] hi, KiLl3rCaM [00:27] <^Phantom^> It's a good thing they sent me home from work early today [00:27] <^Phantom^> "this download will take about 1 hours and 50 minutes with your connection" [00:28] Jack_Sparrow: It shows me unnamed processes [00:29] Anyone here know much about why automount is failing with an NFS root even when the root of the automount tree exists? [00:29] Tulimaq, ok i pasted it here is this the right link http://pastebin.com/m769bcd1d [00:29] upon starting up ubuntu i saw: "there is an error starting the gnome settings daemon" error message: "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." .... how to fix? [00:29] KiLl3rCaM: Actually, I think that might be normal because I get that too and all my sound works. What are your settings in System->Preferences->Sound? [00:30] Persica: is your syntax right? [00:30] its all oss [00:31] KiLl3rCaM: So do Pulse and Alsa not work for you at all? [00:31] It's failing on creating the directory for the mount within the autofs.

Something changed with my boot-ups now taking forever, not the KDE them as we had thought [00:31] Persica: it looks like your local mount path is wrong [00:31] drazak: seems odd. It can create the original /net, but then it won't create the subdirectories to mount on. [00:31] Tulimaq, like i say two laptops both with built in wifi the usb wifi works on one laptop but not mine also works on desktop but not my laptop, tryed a diffrent driver from aircrack can connet to internet but it does not show signal strength, is it the hardware in my laptop that is bad [00:32] how can I have an icon with no text ? [00:32] desktop icon [00:32] ? [00:32] KiLl3rCaM: I kind of doubt any of the current apps support OSS anymore. I could be wrong, but that might be the issue here. What sound device to you use?

[00:48] leachim6: gotta be somewhere in gconfig editor.. but I could tell you where. [00:48] sielnt_, have tryed many drivers [00:48] could or couldn't ?

[00:53] is there a GUI or semi-gui was to manage services in ubuntu? [00:53] darren__: make sure u blacklist native wifi driver [00:53] leachim6: Then go do it on Windows. [00:53] dtolj: how do you mean.. processes? shutting them down? [00:53] Tulimaq, thats not a problem it a new install have not downloaded any drivers yet [00:53] I didn't mean it like that...

[00:55] God so there is no way to fix it?? [00:55] I've been using gnome lately though [00:56] luis__: tell us more info. wired connection wifi? modem? router? what have you tried? [00:56] darren__: i understand but there is a some kinda native kernel module installed already [00:56] then it says that the package is corrupt, I have already tried re-downloading a fresh one. [00:56] <^Phantom^> i have about 1 hours 30 minutes remaining for this update :D [00:56] leachim6: There are ways to achieve those things with other environments... if you have the time [00:56] where do i go to talk about intrepid [00:56] sielnt_, I'm aware of all of that, I just feel like using gnome right now [00:56] tom_: maybe #ubuntu+1 [00:56] tom_: i think it's #ubuntu+1 [00:56] Why dosn't Rcconf read all processes in /etc/init.d? [00:56] oh yea, intrepid ibex [00:56] I know I can use idesk for icons and still use gnome-panel [00:56] dtolj: beyond my abilities.. sorry.. the only thing I can relate it to is apache2 which is done by "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop [00:56] ok i guess not lol [00:56] and gnome-settings-daemon to make it look like gnome [00:56] anyone know how to do remote scans?

Second, should I try out kubuntu, or kubuntu with kde4? And last but not least, what is the best way of installing either one with the option to cleanly remove it later if [02:08] I choose to do so? [02:08] daklan: but why 86 lol [02:08] WelshDragon: x86 meant intel-compatible [02:08] I need setting up sendmail please.. my isp blocks port 25 so I have to use their outgoing mail server. how can I make my scripts use my isp's smtp server over sendmail? [02:08] * viaken wonders why libquicktime1 isn't an option for him... [02:08] tehboriz: beats me. if i knew, i'd probably own intel [02:08] hi there [02:08] lol [02:08] intel ditched the naming because you couldnt copyright numbers. hence pentium, core2duo and such [02:08] 21:07:41 [freenode] Warning: Port sent with DCC request is a lowport (0, unknown) - this isn't normal. It is possible the address/port is faked (or maybe someone is just trying to bypass firewall) [02:08] u guize are smart [02:08] 21:07:41 [freenode] DCC SEND from jiggydiggy [0.0.0.0 port 0]: JEWS_CANT_USE_UBUNTU_RUINED_BY_R4L [0B bytes] requested in channel #ubuntu [02:08] what a retards [02:09] tehboriz: are they smart? or are they making it up? [02:09] Anyone familiar with getting spim or xspim to run in Hardy? It seems to be broken [02:09] asmo[B]: just sounds clever [02:09] remu, you can probably do something like suod aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [02:09] sudo* [02:09] tehboriz: I told you it was because the guy that named it was dyslexic... maybe I'm right ;) [02:09] lol [02:10] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86 good grief [02:10] gonna try the minicd [02:10] tehboriz, The generic term x86 refers to the most commercially successful instruction set architecture[1] in the history of personal computing. It derived from the model numbers, ending in "86", of the first few processor generations backward compatible with the original Intel 8086. [02:10] viaken, Do you have universe repo enabled? [02:10] ah [02:10] pulled from the x86 wiki* [02:10] kevinO: wins again [02:10] Anyone familiar with getting spim or xspim to run in Hardy? It seems to be broken [02:11] asmo[B]: that kinda ruins your supposition that you were right :) [02:11] tehboriz: This is getting slightly offtopic, but as you can see, there's a long history behind this. So, you'd be better off doing your own research if you're curious. [02:11] lolz [02:11] Thanatos: Try waiting a little longer, someone will get to you if they know the answer [02:11] daklan: depends on if enough people believe me we could get it changed on wikipedia [02:11] WelshDragon: Yep [02:11] asmo[B]: true :) [02:12] im sending UDP packets with incorrect UDP checksums [02:12] what gives? === nwoodhouse is now known as Mr_Pringle [02:13] phantomcircuit: Can you think of anything you might be doing on your end that could be corrupting them? Because, that's usually what bad checksums indicate....... [02:14] tom_, if i have a ecs mobo that has the cpu freq set to 266Mhz (its a core 2 duo that should be set to 1066Mhz)... and it seems like i cant change cpu freq setting... should i :: reset cmos? [02:14] if i have a ecs mobo that has the cpu freq set to 266Mhz (its a core 2 duo that should be set to 1066Mhz)... and it seems like i cant change cpu freq setting... should i :: reset cmos? [02:14] oops sorry for repost [02:14] bobertdos, um no im not doing anything weird [02:15] arooni, what is your memory rated at? [02:15] phantomcircuit: hmm.........Where are you sending them? [02:15] i doubt it's anything related to memory. i don't think i've seen ddr2 rated at 266mhz === chubs__ is now known as chubs_ [02:16] kevinO, 800mhz [02:16] they're UPnP packets being sent to a router [02:16] arooni: a cmos reset might be in order [02:16] but every other UDP packet has an incorrect checksum [02:16] phantomcircuit, over wifi? [02:16] the packet structure seems like it's correct actually [02:16] kevinO, it's being sniffed by wireshark before it leaves the machine [02:17] arooni: besides, it's very unusual that the bus is clocked at 266mhz, given that your mobo's core2 compatible [02:17] hmm, i do not know [02:17] Well that makes no sense whatsoever... [02:17] yeah 266 doesnt sound right if youve got a caore 2 dou in it [02:17] yeah i know [02:18] kevinO: is that a processor i haven't heard of before? caore 2 dou? [02:18] made by entil, i suppose? :) [02:18] phantomcircuit: Every other one? It wouldn't be a parity problem, would it?? Hmm.......... === cody_ is now known as icedtea [02:18] daklan, must be [02:18] what's the closest thing I can get to a task manager? [02:19] Razer: top + kill :) [02:19] Would someone ban this dork!! jiggydiggy [i=flaps@jihad.carbomb.org] entered the room. [02:19] bobertdos, let me restate that, every udp packet going out from this machine has an incorrect checksum, note that tcp packets have correct tcp checksums [02:19] Razer process manager [02:19] daklan: no idea === andre is now known as Dominate [02:19] I'm coming from debian, how come on startup although my interface is listed in /etc/network/interfaces its not brought up with ifup on boot? [02:19] Razer: "man top", "man kill" [02:19] kevinO: how do I get to that [02:19] anyone? [02:20] Razer, System > Administration > System Monitor [02:20] arooni: I had read somewhere that ECS usually derates their motherboards, a lot of the time because they can't actually handle the true thruput of the processor itself... weither it is due to a heat issue I'm not sure but ECS has been doing that for years [02:20] krunchyfrog, does it have to be sendmail? i've never attempted it with sendmail, i know postfix has oodles of documentation and howtos on it though [02:20] krunchyfrog, #sendmail will be far more helpful [02:20] WelshDragon: ty [02:20] hmm, i thought it was process manager :P [02:20] arooni: is it a homebuilt system or a prebuilt? [02:21] silly kevinO =P [02:21] oh ok [02:21] :D [02:21] thanks! [02:21] icedtea: i don't think ubuntu has the same networking scheme as debian. i came from debian too, btw :) [02:22] I'm having issues with Evolution alarms. I set an appointment, tell it to alarm 1 minute before the appointment, and nothing happens. I even tried having it execute a script that writes to a log file, the script never gets executed. Any ideas why? [02:22] I can go into the "Keyboard Shortcuts" area to change the kb shortcuts for those actions, but how do I change which applications or w/e those actions use/launch/etc? [02:23] does ubuntu need a boot partition or can it be in the root? [02:23] daklan: any idea how to bring up an interface on boot then from the command line? [02:23] icedtea: although a quick google search references /etc/network/interfaces as the correct file to edit. i might have to take a look at that myself === freqk is now known as freqk|away [02:24] icedtea: have you tried the debian style? edit interfaces and run ifup? === genus is now known as typedestero === typedestero is now known as typedestereo [02:24] Mr_Fixit, You can just have one partition mounted as /. However, if you encrypt your partitions, you will need an unencrypted /boot partition. [02:24] daklan: oh, I know, I left the "auto" keyword in the interfaces file let me try this [02:24] ifconfig eth0 up [02:24] is there any benefit to using the latest intel graphics drivers? [02:24] well there ya go [02:25] daklan: thanks [02:25] it was checksum offloading [02:25] thanks WelshDragon [02:25] icedtea: ubuntu saves its config somewhere else, i think. but the debian style should work as well [02:25] damn, I just screwed something up. I've got a flash disk, and I pulled it out after the icon mounted itself on the desktop. But when I put it back in, I get two icons. Should I take it out, sudo rm the icons, and put it back in? And then how would I go about using the Linux version of "Safely Remove Hardware"? I'm going to guess it's unmount in the terminal. Anyways, sorry for the long post. === passwd is now known as omolina [02:26] when i boot up the ecs 945GCT-M mobo; i see: a 266mhz system bus processor is installed. this processor is not supported on this system board and it will run at reduced processor clock speed. system performance will be impacted. do you wish to continue to boot at 38628Mhz system bus and reduced processor speec? (Y/N) n is shut down. ideas? processor is a core2duo E7200 [02:26] EvilDaemon, As for the safely remove, you can Right click the drive in Nautilus and click Unmount. [02:26] EvilDaemon: try unmounting the flash disk again. see if that clears both icons [02:26] asmo[B], building yself [02:26] myself [02:26] I'm having issues with Evolution alarms. I set an appointment, tell it to alarm 1 minute before the appointment, and nothing happens. I even tried having it execute a script that writes to a log file, the script never gets executed. Any ideas why? [02:26] daklan: No, just the one. [02:27] WelshDragon: Isn't naulilus for running a command? === gretch_ is now known as gretchen [02:27] arooni: I would take a look around on a few overclockers' forums and read up about your mobo before playing with anything, personally it doesn't seem like resetting your cmos is going to do anything... [02:28] EvilDaemon: go to a terminal and unmount the directory manually === cody_ is now known as icedtea [02:28] arooni: faulty chip, i assume [02:28] Also, when I'm browsing ~/Desktop, the icon doesn't show. [02:28] daklan: it works! [02:28] icedtea: great! [02:28] daklan, gr8 have to go back to frys now :( [02:28] does the ubuntu server cd include X on it? === PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid [02:29] arooni: just bought it? they'll do a swap if it's really busted [02:29] EvilDaemon: seems like logging in and out would probably fix your problem [02:29] daklan, i know its just a pain [02:29] guys, how do i setup my wireless my card is not supported... ? :( [02:29] arooni: which branch? the manhattan beach one is great with swaps [02:29] What's "zip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file" indicate while trying to do an apt-get update? [02:29] asmo[B]: Alright, I'll try. [02:29] or I guess out and in as the case may be [02:29] daklan, seattle, wa [02:29] <^Phantom^> is there a site where i can get different skins for the gui windows? [02:29] daklan, they'll do it; its just time [02:30] I think I've found my problem.... [02:30] arooni: ah, tough luck, then :) === freqk|away is now known as freqk [02:30] Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages [02:30] main packages is probably pretty important. :P [02:30] I'm having issues with Evolution alarms. I set an appointment, tell it to alarm 1 minute before the appointment, and nothing happens. I even tried having it execute a script that writes to a log file, the script never gets executed. Any ideas why? [02:30] phpcurious: tried madwifi or ndiswrapper already? if both don't work, you're out of luck [02:30] how do i get the $ key to work????? PLEASE help or give a hint... [02:31] pokpok: im not sure what you mean by your question [02:31] testing msg(ignore me) [02:31] daklan: do i have to install ndiswrapper manually? [02:31] phpcurious: seems there are packages available for it in the ubuntu repositories [02:32] daklan: i have a key with a $ sign on... i would like it to work.. but I'm lost [02:32] phpcurious: you can try installing for source, but you'll have to do a bit of reading to get it to work [02:32] is there a program for your ipod on ubuntu that supports album artwork [02:32] daklan: need it for coding php [02:32] daklan: i tried sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper [02:32] pokpok: what type of keyboard do you have? [02:32] pokpok: ah, im not sure how to help you on that. which editor? does the $ key work on other programs? [02:33] daklan: icedtea it's a danish laptop keyboard... model ACER ASPIRE 4520 [02:33] pokpok: does the $ key work in any apps? [02:33] phpcurious: try installing ndisgtk. you might find it easier to work in gui [02:34] icedtea: nowhere... at all [02:34] pokpok: go to the system menu->Preferences->keyboard [02:34] pokpok: does the $ key work in other programs? and did you set the correct keymap in your system settings? [02:34] daklan: cool downloading from apt-get now [02:35] pokpok: you'll have to choose the right keyboard for you from there [02:35] pokpok: my guess is that you're using the wrong keymap [02:35] daklan: hmm.. i do not think so [02:35] ill try [02:36] ciAo gEnTe [02:36] daklan: Now , how do I detect my wireless card? still nothing from System>Administration>Network [02:36] daklan: or do i have to reboot?

[02:37] ok. [02:37] Cool EvilDaemon =) [02:37] thanks for the help daklan [02:37] I'm having issues with Evolution alarms. I set an appointment, tell it to alarm 1 minute before the appointment, and nothing happens. I even tried having it execute a script that writes to a log file, the script never gets executed. Any ideas why? [02:37] pokpok: what do you get when you run "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf|grep XkbLayout" in a terminal? [02:37] phpcurious: no problem [02:38] i'm getting no sound other than feedback and only out of one speaker anyone know what i should do? [02:38] daklan: dk... well.. it worked out of the box with gentoo... [02:38] Hello [02:38] EvilDaemon: most probably, when you unplugged your flash drive, the mountpoint was still active, and so gnome still thinks it's still there [02:39] daklan: not even in the console (non X) i doesnt work [02:39] Could someone help me understand if it is possible to repartition my HDD to include /var /usr /boot etc. after I have installed using the guided method. [02:39] pokpok: well, looks like you've got the correct danish keymap selected. either your keyboard does not use the standard dk keymap, or your keymap file is broken. [02:39] WelshDragon: and AMD [02:39] damn scroll box [02:39] pokpok: is the $ the only key that's not working? [02:39] I was 2 years behind [02:39] lol [02:39] Say wha? [02:39] lol [02:40] haydn1 you should downlaod gparted iso and burn it to a cd [02:40] WelshDragon: sorry, you asked about x86 a while back [02:40] join #qt [02:40] and my IM got stuck there [02:40] ahhh lol [02:40] Well your IM has a better memory than me ^^ [02:40] haha [02:40] does anyone here use stormbaan, this is the error I get when I run it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47306/ [02:40] node357: "apt-get install " :) [02:40] gparted will let you repartition drive [02:40] daklan: yeah no doubt :/ using Pidgin [02:41] node357: ouch! [02:41] daklan, which are you using? [02:41] Azazel: I have gparted in my tool kit already. I guess my question is whether or not Ubuntu will recognize these new partitions if I just create them and place the respected data into them [02:41] does anyone here use stormbaan, this is the error I get when I run it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47306/ [02:41] Azazel-A2: xchat [02:41] as long as they are type 81 and etc yes [02:41] I run pidgin myself [02:41] !repeat > vbman11 [02:41] vbman11, please see my private message [02:41] daklan: no.. it's a special extra key on my keyboard with a $ sign on [02:41] Azazel-A2: although im a big fan of irssi, when i chat through my server [02:42] mneptok: sorry [02:42] What's with the sudden use of > with ubottu? Has | gone? [02:42] I put a server up myself. no users so I took ti down [02:42] pokpok: ah, it might be using an extended dk keymap [02:42] Burada Türkçe bilen varm0131 [02:42] daklan: icedtea you can see i can use the regular shift + 3 key for the $$$$$$$ sign... it works... nothing to do with the keymap.... [02:42] I'm having issues with Evolution alarms. I set an appointment, tell it to alarm 1 minute before the appointment, and nothing happens. I even tried having it execute a script that writes to a log file, the script never gets executed. Any ideas why? [02:42] WelshDragon: No, it's just that it takes up far less space and it helps to not clutter the channel. [02:43] Azazel-A2: i use my server for samba and apache [02:43] i see =) [02:43] WelshDragon: I personally forget which one's a PM and what's on the channel, so I use either or. [02:43] I have a server at work. run apache and all my interfaces are cgi. really nice. [02:43] Azazel-A2: after mucking around with mount I finally got it working, works nicely too [02:43] rootlinuxusr: baptism by fire [02:44] would require too much effort [02:44] Azazel-A2: tried using webmin? im having a lot of fun with it [02:44] i'm getting no sound other than feedback and only out of one speaker anyone know what i should do? 0_o [02:44] better than web min, run ssh -X and install gnome-desktop packages. realyl sweet [02:45] whenever I try that it freezes the term. [02:45] Azazel-A2: bandwidth-intensive. not much fun [02:45] daklan: if you try to bind a key with gnome-keybinding-properties it detect alle keys.. even the special "web" and "mail" hot keys works...

Google for it, and you'll find the packages [02:57] Where's the location of cpuinfo [02:57] EvilDaemon: /proc/cpuinfo [02:57] ahah, thanks. [02:57] and for generic linux [02:57] after you change to static address sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:57] Ok, Flannel, it is doing something. I can't believe I waited so long, and now I am going to suffer. [02:58] After this operation, 561MB of additional disk space will be used. [02:58] Nutzebahn: sffer why [02:58] because it is going to take forever. [02:58] Can anybody tell me what a symlink is? [02:58] <^Phantom^> the update seems to have stopped <_< [02:58] So it won't download 561MB now will it? [02:58] balz: It points to another file [02:58] Nutzebahn: Not if you've already downloaded them, no. [02:59] Hey balz: A symlink is like a shortcut in Windows [02:59] Ok. [02:59] <^Phantom^> "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" [02:59] Jacobian, that would be a hard link [02:59] Flannel: how do i create one? i'm getting an error in mythweb that reads "could not create symlink to /media/500gb/vide, the local MythVideo dyrectory. Please create a symlink to your mythvideo directory at data/video [02:59] onx: No [02:59] You can google the different between a hard link and a symlink [03:00] balz: ln is how to make links, -s makes a symlink (soft link). it's ln -s source dest [03:00] I believe for symlinks: ln -s destination shortcut [03:00] Jacobian: no that's backwards :) [03:00] router and static network, I would personally would set the DMZ so forward all packets to the static ip address of the machine and use firestarter to firewall [03:00] Ah, okay [03:00] Flannel: http://pastebin.com/d38520820 [03:00] Flannel: thanks. is data/video an actual directory though? that doesn't make much sense to me [03:01] wait I'm wrong I think [03:01] ugh [03:01] You can do: "man ln" to check the order of the arguments. I always look it up myself... easy to forget [03:01] Flannel: mostly because there's no / before "data" [03:01] join #qt [03:01] !ln [03:01] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[03:01] Nutzebahn: What are you upgrading from? [03:02] http://www.fileformat.info/tip/linux/ln.htm [03:02] 7.10. [03:02] anyone able to help me with kaffeine player, my digital TV option has disappeared [03:02] Flannel [03:02] How would I recursively go in a series of folders, and move the contents up one directory? I have Folder A with folders a b c d..., each with a file in it, and I'd want Folder A to have the contents of folders a b c d.... directly, not through nested folders, without manually moving the files. [03:03] so I installed OSSEC right, but was wondering, how can I know it's also taking care of proftpd... [03:03] is it possible to access my real /boot from a chroot [03:03] Nutzebahn: What? [03:03] bobbob1016: go into A and type mv a/* b/* c/* d/* . [03:03] Flannel: so my syntax should read "ln -s data/video /media/500gb" ? How do I know which is source and which is destination based on that message? [03:03] mv -r is recursive [03:03] Jacobian, ah mixed up the two [03:03] can anyone help me setup my monitor and ati radeon hd3850 in ubuntu 8.04? [03:03] You could do go to the parent directory, and then run: "mv -i */*.* ." to move your files up to the parent directory. The -i should make it interactive [03:03] Nutzebahn: oh, I saw it, yeah. Do you have any third party repositories enabled? [03:03] tom_: chroot to the partition where your /boot is located [03:03] Azazel: yeah good point... [03:04] I shuld shut up , i keep making mistakes [03:04] sorry guys [03:04] node357, Is there a way to do it without needing to do a/* and so on, I have more than I'd want to manually type in [03:04] Azazel-A2, Does mv have -r? How can a move NOT be recursive? [03:04] *checking SYnaptic [03:04] danbh_intrepid: im trying to fix a hardy install but my / is not on the same partition as my /boot [03:04] check what Jacobian suggested :) [03:04] balz: you want to link data/video to /media/500gb/vide so, ln -s /media/500gb/vide data/video [03:05] Flannel: oh I see. okay... that makes much more sense. thanks [03:05] tom_: my guess would be to still chroot into your /partion, then mount your /boot partition to /boot [03:05] good point. I get it confussed. alias rm='mv --target-directory ~/.local/share/Trash/files' so opps lol [03:05] does icecat support ff plugins and is icecat the same as iceweasel [03:05] I have a small problem, i have fedora on my pc, and i want to move to ubuntu, but i have taken a lot of time to configure different services, dhcpd, named, mysqld etc.. and i dont know if i want to struggle through that again, is there a way to import/export linux configurations? oh and dont forget my raid+lvm2 [03:05] danbh_intrepid: my chroot says that /dev/sda2 does not exist [03:06] what options do i need to add to fstab to allow regular users to read/write to a ext partition on a hard disk? i have "user" for options but that doesnt work [03:06]  [03:06] tom_: you have to mount it [03:06] Jacobian, It just gives me a > prompt after I enter that [03:06] what [03:06] bobbob1016, What about "mv FolderA/* ./"? [03:06] please dont do that [03:06] danbh_intrepid: thats what i get when i mount it [03:06] 𝑺𝑼𝑷 𝑮𝑼𝒀𝑺 [03:06] For bob: It may take a while for the command to finish, depending on the number of files you have. [03:06] solaroperator please dont do that [03:07] tom_: you just said thats what you get when you chroot it. what are you doing?/ [03:07] have a TV card in my computer, for some reason kaffeine stopped recognising it, any suggestions as to what might be wrong? [03:07] Jacobian, It is just 15 or so folders [03:07] Jacobian, and I need the . at the end, right? [03:07] For bob: If it's frozen, you can kill the command by typing Ctrl+C, but that might interrupt the file movement [03:07] 𝑺𝑼𝑷 𝑮𝑼𝒀𝑺 [03:07] lol [03:07] For bob: Yes, you need the . I bet that's the reason! [03:07] CTRL Z is kill C is interrupt [03:07] excuse me sir [03:08] mepholic you were warned [03:08] no [03:08] Why does no one ever keep there Ops here? [03:08] Jacobian, I left a " at the front... I feel stupid, thanks [03:08] ctrl z is suspend job [03:08] i already installed ndiswrapper with the .inf file for my wireless card but still nothing [03:08] For bob: Ah great, I'm glad you got it :) [03:08] WelshDragon It shouldnt matter [03:08] ctrl c is kill [03:08] hey guys... having a little problem with my dual-monitor xinerama setup. any hits would be appreciated. see thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=920690 [03:08] danbh_intrepid: 1st i mount my hardy install then i chroot into it, once inside i try doing mount /dev/sda2 /boot and i get told /dev/sda2 does not exist [03:09] phpcurios: make sure you modprobe ndiswrapper [03:09] phpcurious: then try a iwlist scan [03:09] Synaptic find at experimentals packages too?

[03:10] what happened [03:10] For hardy, updates, and so on. Flannel. [03:10] jschiff: let's say i already installed ndiswrapper will it be uninstalled if i do modprobe ndiswrapper without warning? [03:10] Nutzebahn: right, but I mean non-official ones. [03:10] phpcurious: modprobe loads the module [03:10] tom_: ah, I see. I guess that makes sense, because once you chroot, it doesnt exist. Maybe you need to mount /boot before hand. So maybe.. . / gets mounted to /mnt/root and /boot gets mounted to /mnt/root/boot THEN you chroot [03:11] beep bop [03:11] phpcurious: tell me what ndiswrapper -l says [03:11] is it possible to resize my ubuntu / ext3 partition , right now it had 0 bytes free and it's causing sopme problems [03:11] Hey guys, I'm trying to set up static IP addresses for my home network. Does anybody know if I need to uninstall the dhcp3-client, or if I need to turn of DHCP in my router? [03:11] jschiff: okay please wait [03:11] phpcurious: if it says something like, Driver loaded, hardware detected then modprobe it [03:11] danbh_intrepid: ahh makes sense will try that thx [03:11] phpcurious: if it doesn't then you have the wrong driver [03:12] i have another partition on the same disk with free space... can u resize the one partion to include the free space of the one next to it [03:12] Jack_Sparrow: do you represent a part of ubuntu development? [03:12] jacobian. ayou can leave it running and run static/dynamic, but you can shut it down in firestarter [03:12] jschiff: it only said "SiS163u : driver installed" [03:12] phpcurious: that's good [03:12] jschiff no [03:12] phpcurious: now run.. sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [03:12] jschiff: but not hardware detected. [03:12] Jacobian: no need to uninstall the dhcp package, just configure your network interface to have a static ip (e.g., through the gui). leave the router as is. [03:12] Thanks Azazel. I've already changed my /etc/network/interfaces file according to the universe instructions on the web... but I'm not able to communicate with my router, even so. [03:13] jschiff: what to do next? [03:13] Xcerca: assuming your not using lvm then its trickey but you can do it from a liveCD, just backup anything important [03:13] phpcurious: you modprobed successfully? [03:13] Jacobian: did you set your comp to be in the same subnet as the router's dhcp subnet? [03:13] Yes, thank you [03:13] jschiff: it just asked for sudo password then nothing. [03:14] tom_ whats lvm ? [03:14] phpcurious: k that's what usually happens, now try a sudo iwlist scan [03:14] hola [03:14] My router is 192.168.0.1, and my computer is 192.168.0.2, both with 255.255.255.0 masks. [03:14] >:] [03:14] I need to convert realplayer files into flv files through command line, does anyone know a good tool? [03:14] Jacobian: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.x gateway 255.255.255.0 [03:14] try http://192.168.0.1 in firefox [03:14] Jacobian: sudo dhclient eth0 [03:14] flv!! [03:14] jschiff: nothing [03:15] So I'll be okay if my router is using DHCP? I can set my static IP address within Ubuntu, and as long as that IP address is available, then I can request it from the router? [03:15] phpcurious: then you need to find a different driver [03:15] Jacobian: that looks about right. does "route -n" show the router as the default gateway? [03:15] jschiff: lo Interface doesn't support scanning, eth0 interface doesn't support scanning [03:15] hi could some one please explain why my usb wirless dows not show signal strength in network manager but i can still connect [03:15] phpcurious: yeah you have the wrong driver [03:15] Xcerca: a volume manager that makes resizing and moving partions about easy, but has to be installed at install time, so unless you choose it when you installed ubuntu its not much use [03:15] necesito saber si alguien sabe algo sobre asterisk [03:15] phpcurious: check lspci if it's a pci wireless card to find the model id number [03:15] Right now, the router is my default gateway... but I switched to DHCP so I could write this :) I'll check it again without DHCP as soon as I can [03:15] Flannel: http://pastebin.com/d3557ca1e [03:15] ok how about convert realplayer files to avi? [03:16] Jacobian: set your static ip to be outside the dhcp range (i.e., if the router is handing out ip addresses of 192.168.0.2-100, give yourself 192.168.0.150, then you should be ok. [03:16] PDF_q: mencoder [03:16] routere should be gateway. gateway should be 192.168.0.1 your gateway in interfaces should be gateway 192.168.0.1 to get name lookup from router [03:16] <^Phantom^> yep it got stuck [03:16] I've been able to get a static IP address using ifconfig, but it's only temporary...

[03:41] pickthecrowdup: what you need to do is mount your windows partition [03:41] i think i tried that [03:41] if my kernels are missing from /boot how do i put them back there, ive done update-initramfs but i dont think thats enough [03:41] question: I have a dedicated linux hard drive. Should my grub.lst have ANYTHING that states windows/vista longhorn in it? (trying to determine reason for long boot times) [03:41] hi qweerty [03:41] kelvin911 : how to put a icon dock there in the bottom? [03:41] pickthecrowdup: type fdisk -l [03:41] oh wow, geos looks cool... in a windows 95 kind of way :) [03:41] jigp..avant window manager [03:41] pickthecrowdup: and let me see the output [03:41] check it out [03:41] ok, I have step by step instructions if you want to add tehe awn dock [03:41] type that here? [03:41] hardy? [03:42] pickthecrowdup: in a terminal [03:42] BBLake : i dont have avant window manager in System :( [03:42] does anyone here use stormbaan, this is the error I get when I run it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47306/ [03:42] my c: drive is sda1 [03:42] ok so [03:42] you have to add repository to bottom of sources.list in /etc/apt then they will show up [03:42] BBLake: won't make a difference. you can update your menu.lst and run update-grub if you want to test your guess [03:42] pickthecrowdup: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [03:43] BBLake: when is the delay in the boot bios? grub? spashscreen? login? [03:43] yarr, I just plugged in my WUSB54G is it supposed to auto-recognize it or something? [03:43] no idea? i just believe an older kernel when i choose as default, boots quickly [03:43] pickthecrowdup: then your windows partition should be mounted on /mnt [03:43] jigp: AWN = Avant window navigator.. it's in the repos.. [03:43] don't have access to any grub boot menu, or any start-up scripts..just black screen until the login window [03:44] tried to use the grubeditor, and start-up manager. (still working on the latter) [03:44] BBLake: take a look at the contents of /var/log/messages. see if any errors were logged [03:44] jschiff, if his c: drive is ntfs.. won't u need to mount it with ntfs3g? [03:44] is awn the best dock? [03:44] can i just take out the most current kernels, and try to re-update? [03:44] no [03:44] cario dock is good [03:44] leighaquarius: no mount handles it fine [03:44] kelvin..i think so, there is cairo dock as well [03:44] which one uses less resources? [03:45] jschiff, sweet thnx [03:45] if you install BUM it should let you choose to see a verbose startup without splash that will give you lots of text, if you look at what it slows down on that will give you a good place to start looking at [03:45] leighaquarius: if you want to be specific you can mount -t ntfs /dev/xxx /xxx [03:45] ok.. it says can't find /dev/sda1/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [03:45] ah [03:45] do i have to sudo su? [03:45] you need a space [03:45] never tried others, I run awn [03:45] between the /dev/sda1 /mnt [03:45] oh [03:45] pickthecrowdup: don't use sudo su. Use sudo -i. [03:45] how do i make my WUSB54G work? [03:46] BBLake: that may work, but i doubt it sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-generic would be the command [03:46] jschiff: leighaquarius should you use -t ntfs-3g ? [03:46] Darkkish: you'll need ndiswrapper [03:46] seriously? [03:46] kelvin911: If I remember right, AWN requires compiz. I don't use compiz myself, because I don't to give the system resources. You might look into Cairo... [03:46] !ndiswrapper > Darkkish [03:46] Darkkish, please see my private message [03:46] crap [03:46] carandraug: man mount and check the types if you want [03:46] carandraug, not sure.. i usually do all my windows partition mounting in fstab [03:46] but the icon in awn is always changing position when u click it [03:47] Darkkish: I did with mine. It's version 4 [03:47] hey ubuntu with compiz is only pulling 600 megs of ram, :( [03:47] juan...what about a more current update...would that possibly resolve it? [03:47] very annoying, it doesnt do that before [03:47] i'm on 19, but i hear .24 is in the repos? [03:47] mount should try to autodetect the filesystem type [03:47] mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use [03:47] I'm having a little problem with FlyBack... I configured it to backup my files in /media/disk-1, but it shows me that it can't found this device [03:47] carandraug, how do i check what version mine is? [03:47] not sure which way to go. i don't want to have to stay on .14 for the faster boot if i can resolve it [03:47] I don;t think linux can reset ntfs dirty flag [03:47] but it is configured and done [03:47] pickthecrowdup: hmm then it may already be mounted [03:47] let me add that the reason i am even using this is because windows took a dump [03:47] Azazel-A2 its not pulling that much on mine maybe you should kill it and restart [03:47] Jacobian: awn requires a composting window manager in general, not compiz specifically [03:47] pickthecrowdup: what does mount say [03:47] pickthecrowdup: just plain simple mount [03:47] Azazel-A2: you can force-mount it, but the flag will remain [03:48] BBLake: if you are talking kernels, yes, please update. The upgrade wont get rid of old kernels, so you can always fall back [03:48] mount [03:48] pickthecrowdup: sudo mount [03:48] if my kernels are missing from /boot how do i put them back there, ive done update-initramfs but i dont think thats enough [03:48] quickest way to update? [03:48] awn, compiz, gnome, and all my eyecandy, thats about right [03:48] BBLake: update-manager [03:48] pickthecrowdup: if there is something in there that says /dev/sda1 then it's already mounted [03:48] Flannel? [03:48] how do i copy and paste from xterm? [03:48] Darkkish: check around the wireless adaptor. Mine has it written beneath the sliding piece with the thing to glue to some place. There's loads of tutorials on how to get it working on the net [03:48] BBLake: apt-get update, apt-get upgrade [03:48] juan-intrepid: where did they go? [03:49] hye guyz [03:49] wat's up today [03:49] * Azazel-A2 1.25 gigs ram. [03:49] Scunizi: yea, besides some nvidia-specific stuff, that's basically what mine looks like as well. the thing is, it basically works, just doesn't use the correct resolution on the external monitor... so i'm guessing i need to figure out what some of those warnings coming out of xorg.0.log mean... [03:49] pickthecrowdup: highlight over what you want, then right click on this window [03:49] pickthecrowdup: sorry i mean middle click [03:50] Scunizi : done installing..i run System > Awn Manager nothing happen...how to setup this thing? thanks :) [03:50] besides only 64 meg video card, so I'm sure thats alot of it [03:50] pickthecrowdup: middle click in the text box and it should paste [03:50] proc on /proc type proc (rw) [03:50] sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) [03:50] tmpfs on /lib/modules/2.6.22-10-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) [03:50] varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755) [03:50] varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777) [03:50] udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) [03:50] devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) [03:50] devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) [03:50] tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) [03:50] !paste > pickthecrowdup [03:50] pickthecrowdup, please see my private message [03:50] wow.. [03:50] pickthecrowdup: don't do that again please.... use paste.ubuntu.com [03:51] jrib: why did floodbot fail? [03:51] carandraug, I'm pretty sure i just got it working with ndisgtk an nice gui, anywho it doesn't have a version anywhere, does that make it version 1? [03:51] hello how to setup AWN Manager? like a dock desktop...im done isntall awn manager / navigator [03:51] `uname -r` says i am running 2.6.22-14-generic ... but i've done an update on linux-generic and GRUB still only has .22 , any ideas? [03:51] sorry [03:51] pickthecrowdup: hmm ok was that all of it? [03:51] yes [03:51] pickthecrowdup: so sda1 is not mounted :S [03:51] hi,大家好，testing [03:52] gnychis. [03:52] pickthecrowdup: then i'm not too sure, and i'm tired so i gotta go i'm sorry [03:52] ok thanks for trying! [03:52] if wrong kernel is loading you can change the /boot/menu.list file to boot correct kernel [03:52] pickthecrowdup: no prob, hope you get the problem fixed [03:52] bye all [03:52] Darkkish: I don't think so. But if you got it working with ndisgtk (which sounds like a GUI version of ndisdwrapper), why are you asking? Did you made a fresh install? [03:52] 有中国朋友嘛 [03:52] Azazel-A2: i would think that it would have upgraded grub menu [03:53] !cn | yuwandong [03:53] yuwandong: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [03:53] how to hide the mount partition in desktop? [03:53] carandraug, I bet my tech teacher $10 I could hack his wep network :p [03:53] gnychis: try sudo update-grub [03:53] it should. but things happen. I used apt-get to install server, remvoe generic and had to manually correct menu.list, so it doesn't always work [03:53] i dual boot with windows xp and the c: and d: shows up in the desktop, how to hide it? [03:54] which desktop> [03:54] ? [03:54] in ubuntu [03:54] i want to hide them on other user account [03:54] and only shows up at the account i am using [03:54] favro: boom, thank! [03:54] make a mnt point in /mnt ie /mnt/c and /mnt/d and correct fstab media shows on desktop [03:54] np :) [03:55] Why can I not find OO.o-math?? [03:55] ? [03:55] pickthecrowdup: you need help mounting manually ntfs partitions? I can get you a hand, if you want. Pastebin the iutput of "df -h" and "sudo fdisk -l" [03:55] kelvin, try this. open a terminal window [03:55] anyone know of a reliable SATA RAID Hardware controller (not fake raid, but the real thing) ? [03:55] Grenyaris: stand by [03:56] Have anybody here used FlyBack? [03:56] kelivn still here? [03:56] Grenyaris: i had experience with promise adapters. they're not the best, but are pretty much reliable [03:56] yea? [03:56] do i just edit the fstab? [03:57] i just dont want them to appear on the desktop for some user account [03:57] yes. but move the mount from media which is auto to /mnt/c and /mnt/d which will not show on desktop [03:57] Grenyaris: PATA? SATA? SCSI? [03:58] .. /media/anything puts an icon on desktop [03:58] SATA, the real hardware controller thing, not the fake raid... [03:58] ok [03:58] kelvin911: Azazel-A2 wouldn't it be easier to just tell nautilus to not show mounted partitions in the desktop? Gimme a minutes and I'll find that option in gconf-editor [03:58] Grenyaris: 3ware have a decent rep [03:58] Grenyaris: can't remember the model, but it's got 8 SATA ports and great linux support [03:58] Grenyaris: PCI? PCI-E? [03:58] Hi guys, me again...Heh...Anyway, I was wondering if there's a way to change my username in ubuntu? (*Not* my 'Real Name') [03:58] but what if i want them to show on my account but not the account for others? [03:58] carandraug, perhaps, but its not correct solution for a perminately mounted drive [03:58] PCI or PCIe [03:59] windows c and d are part of his file system not media [03:59] Grenyaris: 3ware do both now I believe [03:59] Grenyaris: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816116030 [03:59] because i dont want my gf mess with c: and d: [03:59] if you put them in mnt make a private directory and chown it to just you and she can't get to them [03:59] Grenyaris: If you're serious about this though you may want to consider a SAS RAID controller. You can put SATA discs on it to begin with but have the option to go SAS later on [04:00] Hi I need a little help with firefox [04:00] Azazel-A2: you think? Why not? I may be wrong but it doesn't matter where it is mounted, it's gnome who's configured to show an icon on the desktop, you just turn that option off. [04:00] the mimetype for opening rm files is set to realplayer but i uninstalled realplayer; how can I reset it back to the way it was ie. get it to default to totem? [04:00] because he might want to see his mp3 player someday [04:00] DxC: It looks like this will help you change the username: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-change-rename-user-name-id/ [04:00] carandraug: how to trun it off? [04:00] turn* [04:00] Jacobian - I'll check that out [04:01] you turn it off, you loose usb drives on desktop [04:01] Azazel-A2: "lose" O:) [04:01] noted ;) [04:01] (pet peeve) [04:01] maybe i will figure this out later [04:02] anyway how come movie has screen tearing? [04:02] is it the compiz? [04:02] kelvin, my suggestion is fstab and mount them off something like /mnt/windows/what ever and make windows chown for you only so gf can;t see mount points [04:02] Thanks guys, I will look into the 3ware ones, they have a raid 6 and 10 supporter, and that is where I was going to go...also one with SAS, but I don't really wanna spend over $800...however...well, I gotta do what I gotta do... [04:02] kelvin911: Azazel-A2 is right. You'll also lose usb drives on desktop. If you want to, open gconf-editor and go to Apps > Nautilus > Desktop [04:02] Next question... [04:02] Is there a "parental control" suite for Linux? [04:02] i dont wanna lose usb [04:02] i have many usb external drives [04:03] Grenyaris: to filter web content? [04:03] kelvin fstab [04:03] only viable solution [04:03] yes mneptok I know [04:03] yes [04:03] I need to filter web stuff... [04:03] Grenyaris: http://www.opendns.com/ <--- do it at the DNS level [04:03] amrik: Did you get your question answered yet? [04:03] I have heard about "Dan's Guardian" ... [04:04] Grenyaris: you should look into the Christian Ubuntu. It has lots of censorship apps [04:04] UUID=6AA0A5CBA0A59DD7 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 <------- do i change /media/sda1 to /mnt/c ?? [04:04] Grenyaris: don't bother. use OpenDNS and protect any and all devices on your network. [04:04] Jacobian: no not as yet [04:04] ok, first make /mount/windows then make /mnt/windows/c and d [04:04] you;ll understand the /windows in 1 sec [04:04] Jacobian: basically my real problem is i made the mistake of installing real player [04:04] and do i have to manually mkdir /mnt/c ?? [04:05] Ok, thanks, I will look into OpenDNS... [04:05] sudo -s [04:05] mkdir /mnt/windows [04:05] mkdir /mnt/windows/c [04:05] Jacobian: and now i am trying to get rid of the last traces of it. one of these traces is that it tries to default to /home/amrik/RealPlayer/realplayer to playback real media files [04:05] why /mnt/windows? [04:05] chown root:your_user_name /mnt/windows [04:05] amrik: You can set this in Firefox, by going to: Edit->Preferences, and then Applications [04:05] why not just /mnt/c and /mnt/d ? [04:05] chmod a-rwx /mnt/windows [04:06] gf can't see them now [04:07] Jacobian: oh i see the menu. but it isnt letting me get rid of the realplayer option [04:07] chmod ug+rwx /mnt/windows [04:07] !mount [04:07] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [04:07] :D [04:07] !mount [04:08] !fdisk [04:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about fdisk [04:08] amrik: There should be two columns, Content Type on the left, and Application on the right. If you click on the line with Application, are you able to change the Application that is used? [04:08] oh i see now [04:08] if i delete file in c: by deleting it using gui, does it move the file to c:\.trash ? [04:08] amrik: Ah, excellent :) [04:08] Jacobian: however it still has RealPlayer as the default value [04:09] Jacobian: not quite sure what the realplayer install script did to make it this way but I would like to undo that [04:09] and what if i do rm /media/sda1/myfile? does it gone 4ever? [04:09] no I beleive it will be ~/.local/share/Trash/files as mnt is part of your filesystem and not media [04:10] amrik: I would manually change Firefox back, to make sure that it opens with the Application you like. Then you can go to Synaptic, and see if there are any other files that could be deleted. By default, Ubuntu leaves the configuration files when you uninstall a program. But you can remove them through Synaptic (or the command line). [04:10] kelvin. I suggest you add an alias line to .bashrc [04:10] help sudo apt-get [04:10] what alias line? [04:11] anyone know how to use ssh in ubuntu, namely with a haxed iphone [04:11] in alias section add alias rm='mv --target-directory=~/.local/share/Trash/files' then if you use rm is moves delted files to trash barrel and you can empty them on desktop. good for accidental rm *'s and stuff [04:11] my c: now is mounted to /media/sda1, if i do rm -r /media/sda1/* what happen? [04:11] bad idea. umount /media/sda1 [04:11] Jacobian: alright I guess I can live with having an entry in that menu that does nothing. =\ but lesson learned, never install crapware knowingly [04:12] amrik: There should be an option to Open with another application... you should be enter Totem there [04:12] even if the file is moved to ~/.local/share/Trash/files if i undelete will the file goes back to the original dir? [04:12] .. /media/sda1 folder is not a real mount point and will disapear after umount [04:12] hello [04:12] amrik: Sorry it got changed on you [04:12] proof. eject /media/sda1 also will work [04:12] hello how to setup a dock icons in ubuntu 8? [04:13] hello how to setup a dock icons in ubuntu 8? - i already downloaded awn manager/navigator [04:13] how do eject a hd. lol [04:13] what eject /media/sda1 does?

[04:17] I wrote an nvida script that gets everything and updates all files. its installs everything including ubuntu-desktop if necessary :) Wrote it from scratch. works nice. [04:17] XD [04:17] one command and you get evrything [04:17] its just a little issue with my webcam's built in mic [04:17] pancho: it might be that support is only available for the video feed, not the audio feed [04:17] just that :S [04:17] thanx ........................respect [04:17] one love [04:17] anyone here use vuze? [04:18] i have seen other people using the voice thing, but can't find any tutorial [04:18] nkei0: azureus?? [04:18] Hi. I'm trying to create an openssl CA, following this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSSL. I get an error: Unable to load config info from /home... The file is there, so why can't openssl find it? [04:18] pancho: if that's the case, there's gotta be someone who cared to write about it [04:18] OK, so why do some kernel's take forever to boot, and other kernel [04:19] kelvin911: nah, Vuze, it's basically the same thing though, Vuze is the java version that's all pretty [04:19] 's boot quick [04:19] ?? [04:19] i installed vuze in windows in a new pc. i think it has lots of useless feature [04:19] the old 1 is a lot better [04:20] i just liked how easy it was to access all of the HD content on vuze with it [04:20] oupa: It might be that there is a problem with the data inside the CA that is preventing it from being loaded. Is there any way you could check the contents? [04:20] any bittorrent feature other than file sharing is useless [04:20] daklan: yes [04:20] hey guys, I'm getting LBA and CHS mismatch errors after I partition my dual boot setup and when I rewrite the MBR using testdisk it skips my grub bootloader and boots right to windows... [04:20] any ideas or anyone come across this problem before? [04:21] daklan: selective download is not useless [04:21] daklan: thanks for your opinion, but thats not true, nor particularly relevant to #ubuntu [04:21] i like torrent client jsut be torrent client, not file browser or internet browser [04:21] any good, firefox extension to download youtube video? [04:21] jacobian: I don't know of a way. only eyeballs. it looks right to me [04:21] daklan: Yeah, but all of the content on vuze is legal, so i like that part... [04:21] or even media player [04:21] daklan... newcomer to bittorrent huh? [04:22] they all beat the windows dock [04:22] jacobian: the openssl site says that this erro means that the file is not found [04:22] oupa: Well, the main things I can think of that might prevent the file from opening are unexpected permissions or a file path problem. Could either of those be the problem? [04:22] gbear14275: not quite. just don't care about "features" [04:22] danbh_intrepid: Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knew of a sound way to get vuze to work with ubuntu 8.04, i had it working earlier today but my dual boot with windows crashed everything so now i'm ubuntu only [04:22] i dont use torrent anymore [04:22] torrent is slow most of the time [04:22] what do you consider "features"? [04:22] anyone [04:22] torrents are slow? compared to what kelvin? [04:22] blogger08, search the firefox extensions page [04:23] kelvin911: benliud is good software on bottorrent. [04:23] rapidshare [04:23] not for firefox 3 or better :( [04:23] i can download rapidshare at 1250 KB/s [04:23] or rtorrent [04:23] compare to torrent 60KB/s most of the time [04:23] its not there, but there is one i use but cant remember the namechubs, [04:24] jaconian: the file is in my home directory and I'm running openssl as me and I'm using the full path [04:24] jacobian: the file is in my home directory and I'm running openssl as me and I'm using the full path [04:24] well if you can find everything on rapidshare at 1250kbps then i'd go for it then [04:24] not everything but almost [04:25] please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:25] movies, games, computer stuffs, etc [04:25] oupa: Are you using absolute paths beginning with a '/'? [04:25] jacobian: yes [04:25] oupa: And it sounds like you've already checked for spelling errors [04:25] jacobian: yes [04:25] ok, so having problems getting a dualboot online after partitioning... anyone have any dualboot experience in here? [04:26] hello friends [04:26] i dual boot [04:26] oupa: I wonder if you could check the logs, and see if there was an access attempt at another location? [04:26] jacobian: I cut and paste the path from the error message and open the file with nano [04:26] gbear14275, did you install xp second [04:26] !kernels [04:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about kernels [04:26] somebody help me please! [04:26] kelvin, you ever run into any chs and lba mismatch errors? [04:26] oupa: That would tell you where the certificate was expected to be [04:26] no, xp first then ubuntu afterwards [04:26] !anyone | Wolf23 [04:26] Wolf23: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [04:26] oupa: Hmm, I see [04:26] gbear14275: what? [04:26] gbear14275, what is the exact prob then [04:26] partition out some extra space and run testdisk.... come back with a slew of chs and lba mismatches [04:27] oupa: All right, you're running this from your own user, and the file was also created by you? [04:27] jacobian: yes [04:27] would like to fix them but this is the second time that after rewriting the mbr its killed my boot partition [04:27] chubs: thanx : ) , but please i have a video .avi and i want to cut from it the begining of the movie,how can i do this on ubuntu plz? [04:27] oupa: Is there any chance the certificate is being accessed by root? I know with apache, the server is started by root, and then switches over the user account that you specify. [04:27] boot partition is not in mbr... === Circs_ is now known as Circs [04:28] hmm... maybe thats my problem... [04:28] does anyone know how to make a crt monitor support more than 60hz on any resolution? [04:28] so if I use testdisk to rewrite an mbr is it going to automatically default whatever partition its running to be the default boot? [04:28] jacobian: there is no certificate yet. I am trying to create a CA which I will use to create the certificate [04:29] you need to add both boots to your menu.list for grub [04:29] After a bit my ubuntu starts experiencing huge slowdowns and begins making excessive use of virtual memory, I have 768 megs of ram and was wondering why this is happening [04:29] can anyone here help with mysql and torrentflux-b4rt? [04:29] jacobian: I just tried running openssl with sudo. it seems to work [04:29] azazel... I can get the menu to load right and show both the boot options... but I'd like to be able to fix the chs and lba mismatches... is that something I'm just going to have to overlook with a dualboot? [04:29] oupa: Hmm, very interesting [04:29] Circs: try usiiing top to check what is eating the memory [04:30] oupa: It sounds like you solved it [04:30] how to get back Add/Remove application on Applications menu? === sean is now known as Guest16753 [04:30] nlksg: right click [04:30] Hi.

[04:30] nlksg: System > Preferences > Start Menu [04:30] circs, how much memory is being used just sitting at desktop. I noted there is a huge disparity between top and the memory tool in gnome. top always does that where the memory evaporates, but the memory monitor in gnomestill shows it free [04:30] where do i learn about kernels? [04:30] !kernels [04:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about kernels [04:30] jacobian: yeah, it's not ideal but maybe that's how it's supposed to be. would be nice if the howto said so :) [04:31] nlksg: System -> Preferences -> Main Menu will let you get Add/Remove back again [04:31] !monitor frequency [04:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:31] jacobian: Thanks for the help [04:31] can anyone here help with mysql and torrentflux-b4rt?

[04:32] that will show what app has it [04:32] nlksg: What do you have in your main menu? [04:32] Azazel-A2: I should probably wait until i encounter the issue again then huh. [04:32] no, you now know how to figure it out lol [04:32] chubs: any result? [04:32] azazel, any ideas [04:32] ? [04:32] Jacobian: i think i some how removed from synaptic [04:33] sorry gbear, on what wasn't paying attention [04:33] nlksg: you can add that menu back to your panel. Right click on it and select add to panel and search for the Start menu [04:33] nlksg: If there is no main menu at all, you can right click on a toolbar, and then choose Add to Panel. There are two different menus that you can include in your toolbar. [04:33] Wolf23, sorry. try avidemux [04:33] Azazel-A2: It says 741732k total 674788k used [04:33] azazel - if i delete out all the kernels but the one i'm using (the one that works), can i upgrade without having issues? [04:33] wobblyw1, [04:33] oh I said I was able to build my grub menu so it showed both boot options correctly but I was hoping to figure out how to resolve the chs and lba mismatches [04:33] the one i'm using is .14 all the rest are newer, but don't function well [04:33] Wolf23, sudo apt-get install avidemux [04:33] Azazel-A2: And I just have my chat client and one firefox window open [04:34] can anyone help me answer a gnome question: I completely hosed my gnome configuration, and now, I get no panels, window decorations etc, and I'm presented with tons of error messages reading "An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for gnome-component-name-here. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly." [04:34] you need what ever kernel is in your sources for apt [04:34] I have some question about SATA disk performance on ubuntu. Anyone here is an expert in this topic? [04:34] I'd be happy to just refresh the entire thing [04:34] hmmm. interesting. So my system might be using more than one kernel at a time? [04:34] chubs: ok i have it installed [04:34] nlksg: Let me know if that works. If it's removed from synaptic, then I can give you the command you need to reinstall it. [04:34] my machine is around 600 meg maybe more w/ firefox. I had 1 gig, added just another 1/4 gig and it got 10x better [04:34] hi.i have a question on network connection in ubuntu [04:35] Nutzebahn: Your sources look fine. And, it looks to be a bug in something. Let me take a look to see if there's a workaround [04:35] so i just default my system to the old one to boot from, and leave everything else as is? [04:35] i seems having problem in my roaming in ubuntu [04:35] !home > slango I say, have a separate /home, then you can just reinstall [04:35] slango, please see my private message [04:35] Wolf23, i don't have it installed right now and don't know it off of the top of my head. It should be trivial to just trim the beginning of a video though [04:35] nlksg: you can check if you have it installed or not by running "gnome-app-install" in the terminal [04:35] BBLake, no. Unless you switch between two, you probably only use one and the others have just not been removed. At least, that was true in debian. [04:35] Azazel-A2: That seems a little extreme [04:35] Jacobian: can you give me the command to reinstall? [04:35] I need a little help brainstorming. Yesterday (and even earlier today) I was able to play warcraft iii with no problems whatsoever. Then, later today, when I came home from work, it started exhibiting the following behavior: It will load fine, but every so often, seemingly at random, it will lock up very tight for between 5 and 20 seconds. I cannot move the mouse during this time. I've tried everything I can think of. Anybody h [04:35] ave any ideas? === Guest16753 is now known as anonusr [04:35] Nutzebahn: Let me know when you're around.

[04:36] nlksg: Were you able to try carandraug's suggestion?

[04:36] danbh_intrepid: don't have a free partition for it, and I'd have to do a lot of partition resizing and juggling to get all of my data copied over [04:37] I'm not running on a very large hard drive here, so moving partitions after the fact is a big pain [04:37] bblake what kernel are you using? [04:37] Azazel-A2: out of the box includes effects. [04:37] .14 is the one that boots nicely [04:37] chetnick: Not to sound like an idiot, but it doesn't seem to want to let me copy/paste [04:37] anyone?

Do I understand that correctly? [04:38] only on the local loopback i have seen some figures for rx and tx packets [04:38] that's right [04:39] RickZilla: That's correct.

[04:39] how do i determine the exact kernel so i can post it [04:39] chetnick: I put that in and then where does the file go? [04:39] BBLake, uname -a [04:39] BBLake: uname -a. Also, what version of ubuntu are you using? [04:39] really..I'll have to look into that...thanks Flannel [04:39] nlksg: Try this: sudo apt-get gnome-main-menu [04:39] Circs, in the current directory [04:40] nlksg: what happens then you run "gnome-app-install" in the terminal? Are you using gnome?

[04:40] chetnick: Well it just stops and doesn't give me a new line or a file [04:40] Azazel-A2, on powerpc's some of the newer kernels had a major sound bug that cause major system slowdowns.

I ask because it wasn't the mount I was worried about as much as the losetup and cryptsetup steps. [04:48] I don't know answer, so safe bet is add it to fstab. I'm sure on that one [04:48] plus less typing to mount it again!

[04:49] oka, let me try the last part about the adding to /etc [04:49] in unix filesystem is in userland, but linux filesystem in in kernel so it shoudl unmount when kernel goes down [04:49] How i do a remote desktop [04:49] in ubuntu [04:50] can someone trig me the help of remote desktop [04:50] from a windows machine to ubuntu or ubuntu or mac to ubuntu?

[05:23] bullgard4, is it mysql [05:24] bullgard4: its sqlite, so you'd use SQL [05:24] cheeky, I believe not. A lot of people think that.

[05:28] vox: yeah i was from windows... i have that paranoia .. coz this system is still new to me [05:28] cheeky, make backups. [05:28] hmm...i'll look into that, thanks === dmsuperman_ is now known as dmsuperman [05:28] Kompuntu, i would certainly help. But i am unsure why you are experiencing that problem [05:29] skylar_: I am using SQLite in Kexi. So I know this. [05:29] I've been using ubuntu for a few months now, and after playing around with the live CD for the alpha version of Intrepid, I get a thing that says "GRUB Loading stage 1.5. GRUB loading, please wait. . . Error 22" [05:29] Kompuntu, have you used the mouse on both machines [05:29] Error 22 eh [05:29] hwilde: from wat i started to read .. and gain .. knowledge ..was as a security measure you could actually move your home directorey to a different partition ..which i thought was hella neat [05:29] well...i have two boxes: XP and Ubuntu Hardy. XP being the Synergy server. When i switch the kbd/mouse to Ubuntu - the side buttons on the mouse no longer work. [05:29] walking asterisk: do you know what error 22 is? [05:30] And on XP the mouse works fine, probably because the drivers are installed on XP... [05:30] Kompuntu, does the mouse work on both machines independently [05:30] !fixgrub > acrousey [05:30] acrousey, please see my private message [05:30] i haven't tried connecting the mouse to the ubuntu machine [05:30] im googling acrousey, [05:30] but i did have an MS Explorer there [05:31] and it worked fine, all the buttons worked [05:31] WalkingAsterisk: thanks! [05:31] Kompuntu, put the mouse on ubuntu. [05:31] acrousey, are you still using a live cd or did you install ? [05:31] acrousey, it means grub is pointing at the wrong partition, did you see the message from ubottu [05:31] Ok, hang on, i'll try that. brb [05:31] acrousey, you should not ask questions about intrepid in this channel. Go to #ubuntu+1 for more support. Booting errors are common in unstable releases. [05:31] WalkingAsterisk: I decided not to install [05:31] !intrepid [05:31] Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October! [05:32] vocx: I didn't install it [05:32] Are you running the latest live cd acrousey ? [05:32] WalkingAsterisk: the cd isn't in the drive, I removed it so that I could get into 8.04 [05:33] acrousey, if its a live cd you need the cd in the drive [05:33] it needs to read from the disc to run [05:33] walkingasterisk: I have 8.04 installed on the computer [05:33] i'm not on that computer now [05:33] so is it the 8.04 thats installed giving an error or the live cd ? [05:34] no live cd [05:34] ..... [05:34] Flannel? [05:34] Sorry. [05:35] based on google. The grub config is borked. Its pointing to the wrong drive or not seeing a master. I really dont know how to springboard you though. Maybe someone else mite know. [05:35] i restarted the computer from the live cd... it then asks you to remove the cd and push enter... I did that... upon the reboot, i get the Error 22 [05:35] Flannel: I was disconnected, the last message I got was the one saying that you need to take a look for a workaround. [05:35] Why do you need a live cd if you have ubuntu installed acrousey [05:35] hiya guys [05:35] Nutzebahn: There appears to be a workaround here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cyrus-sasl2/+bug/194140 [05:35] Launchpad bug 194140 in cyrus-sasl2 "Dependency cycle prevents upgrade of libsasl2-2" [Undecided,New] [05:36] So. [05:36] it is the installed os thats giving the error ? [05:36] walkingasterisk: I wanted to see if there were any differences between 8.04 and the new alpha of 8.10 [05:36] Ok. [05:36] walkingasterisk: I guess [05:36] im having a few problems mounting my drives, i just get "unable to mount drives" whenever i try and access my drives [05:36] Again its your grub config file. Its pointing to the wrong drive [05:36] Im unsure of how a live cd would make that happen though. [05:37] Try not putting the cd in at all and doing a clean reboot [05:37] I'm trying to reconfigure my fileserver, and It's going well up to this point, but when I plug in my external hard drive it auto-mounts it. I want to unmount it, but it keeps saying "umount: /: device is busy" can someone please help me? [05:37] how do i fix that? (im running vista and ubuntu) [05:37] sounds good [05:37] ahh [05:37] same live cd? [05:37] Dont put any cd in [05:37] Just reboot with no cd and see if your installed OS boots. [05:38] i tried it about three times... same results [05:38] Unfortunately beyond that. I don't have the skill to aid you further. All i can suggest is google. If all else fails a clean install maybe. [05:39] If there are things on the drive you dont want to loose. You mite be able to mount it in another computer and pull the data [05:39] acrousey, you can most probably edit the grub file with the live cd, you may have to check the UUID of the partition. [05:39] UUID? [05:40] WalkingAsterisk, doing a reinstall seems a little excessive. [05:40] !uuid | acrousey [05:40] acrousey: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [05:40] It would be vocx, I just ment that as a last resort if he cant fix it. Its better then a dead machine [05:40] guys, how do i mount my drives, as my C drive sint showing >.> [05:40] well, its showing [05:40] vocx: sound i'd just have to run that command from the a live CD? [05:40] i just get "unable to mount drive" [05:41] hello there [05:41] hi [05:41] vocx *so i'd just have to run that comman from the shell in the live CD? [05:41] need help [05:42] would like to set up an ubuntu print server with lpd service [05:42] acrousey, the UUID appears in the file /etc/fstab, maybe when you ran the Live CD, the UUID changed, so now when you try to boot normally, grub doesn't find the correct disk because of it. Then you need to change the file. [05:42] is there a howto I can refer to? [05:43] my dyndns name sends a browser in my network to the modem set-up page/screen/IP. What do I need to do to get "It Works!"? [05:44] you see it's important that the other linux clients be able to find the printers within the network via queue names [05:44] acrousey, I would advice on reading "man fstab" for more information. Also, grub sometimes throws errors because something happened to the drive. Try unplugging it, and plugging it back. Check the BIOS for changes. Seems odd that it would just stop working like that. [05:45] for anywhere on the www.... [05:45] vocx: yeah, that's what i was thinking [05:45] linux_, Google for ubuntu print server [05:45] anyone think liteon chargers a are cheaply made I've been through 3 this year... [05:45] The word ubuntu in front of anything normally finds grea tutorials [05:45] great* [05:45] evilGUI: That'd be a topic for #ubuntu-offtopic, not here. Thanks. [05:46] acrousey, you may also reinstall grub with the aid of the live cd, or with supergrub disk. I would try this first. But you need to read on it, since I don't reinstall grub every day, I don't remember the exact commands off the top of my head. [05:46] hello [05:46] Flannel: No such file nor directory, when I try the dpkg -i thing. [05:46] ok [05:46] walkingasterisk, tried that, too, there were a couple that I followed but I haven't been successful still [05:46] !grub | acrousey [05:46] acrousey: 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 [05:46] anywaty I'll try again :) [05:46] Hmmm [05:47] Try googling for ubuntu cups server [05:47] Nutzebahn_: pastebin the output of ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives/ (yes, it will be long) [05:47] I think thats whats used [05:47] could be wrong though [05:47] !enter | WalkingAsterisk [05:47] WalkingAsterisk: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:48] Nutzebahn_: ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives > ~/Desktop/temp.txt will put it in a temp.txt file on your desktop [05:48] wow [05:48] What is the path and filename of the database that keeps the bookmarks of Firefox 3? [05:48] hello [05:48] I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and when I started running custom kernel 2.6.26 + sometimes when I boot up I get a black screen instead of GDM login screen. Even if I switch to text terminal, it is black, but machine is up, i can ssh to it and all seems to be working. It is a thinkpaad with intel GM965/GL960 graphics card. if i use the recovery menu option to boot and then just hit resume, it will always work ok into GDM, any ideas? [05:49] Flannel: http://pastebin.com/d29b627ce [05:49] bullgard4: ~/.mozilla/ something. Youmight try asking in #firefox on irc.mozilla.org, or check the internets! === Nutzebahn_ is now known as Nutzebahn [05:49] Prez00, seems like a bug? what do you expect us to do? hack the kernel and fix it? right now? [05:49] hi currently my computer has been freezing up really bad (i have to manually reboot) can anyone think of any reasons why? [05:49] walkingasterisk, I followed this, HOWTO: Setup A Headless Ubunutu CUPS Print-Server [05:50] it worked, but it's not exactly what I need [05:50] Nutzebahn: that's only from m on. pipe it to a textfile, then grab it from there [05:50] vocx: Nope, just wondering if anyone had seen anything like this.. maybe it is a timing thing, as it always works right when i go to recovery menu first [05:50] FAJALOU: bad power, failing memory, dust, heat, the phase of the moon, your cat rubbing up against it. [05:50] linux_, What do you need that it does not do ? [05:50] FAJALOU, PC or laptop? Enough memory? Run a memory check when you boot grub. [05:50] How do I pipe it to a text file? [05:50] oops [05:50] ok [05:50] well, I need to be able to configure LPD for my printserver [05:51] having an issue using a custom modeline in hardy. seems xorg keeps using auto detect and i can't use the proper modeline for my plasma. any way to dump the auto-detect? [05:51] fyrestrtr: ya i thought of all these things. no cat an no moon this week ;) the power stays on, and i have 1 gb of memory (which is almost never full) it's an old computer [05:51] Man this place is busy. I havent seen anything like it [05:51] because the application that runs on the clients look for printer queue names [05:51] FAJALOU: power, heat, failing components. [05:51] i am lookking in syslog, but nothing that I can see...... [05:52] FAJALOU, it doesn't matter if you have 1 GB memory, if it is faulty memory it won't work, so run a memtest [05:52] hello [05:52] the power stays on so i am ruling out power b/c it stays on even after 'crash' [05:52] vocx; how long will mem test take normally? [05:52] linux_, Im not sure what to suggest man [05:52] and if it crashes that bad will something normally show up in syslog? [05:52] FAJALOU: I mean there is power failure IN your computer. [05:53] FAJALOU: not on a system halt. [05:53] it's okay, just hoping someone here could help me out :) [05:53] FAJALOU: boot from the livecd and run the memcheck [05:53] FAJALOU, 30 min max. I had a very old PC and it took like 1 hour to run the memtest. [05:53] i've also noticed that my wifi, when it crashes, does one flash long, then long flash over and over.... i have two wifi's plugged in,, only one running, the other one disabled. [05:53] i also run compiz with a pci nvidia card? [05:53] linux_: mind you repeat your question? [05:54] thanks jim_p [05:54] I am wondering how to configure an ubuntu printserver with lpd service [05:54] oh well, that didn't work :-( [05:54] does anyone know how to stop xorg from doing any auto-config and simply use an xorg.conf file in hardy? [05:54] * EvolutionXtinct is needing help w/ 8.04 LTS and Adaptec 2410SA :( ANyone have any good links to things about adaptec [05:54] Flannel: http://pastebin.com/d2592f872 [05:55] becauset there is an application in the linux clients that have to print via pinter queue names [05:55] linux_: let me search [05:55] chicken; copy and paste your working xorg to xorg.conf, then restart x? [05:55] thanks jim_p [05:55] for some reason not working. log shows it sees my deivce then auto detects a device and monitor and loads [05:56] never uses my modeline [05:56] Flannel: I find it difficult to subscribe my Irssi to yet another IRC network. Otherwise I would be glad to discuss in #firefox. (It is also rare to get help in #irssi: Answers yes, but help rarely.) [05:56] Nutzebahn: Oh, the bug report solution has a typo. Try this instead: sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libsasl2* [05:57] bullgard4: you want /connect [server] (/server [server] disconnects you from this one) [05:57] bullgard4: then in your status window, you can use ctrl-x to switch between them (to specify which server to join channels on) [05:58] Flannel: Successfully installed libsasl.. :) [05:58] Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused Anyone got an idea? [05:58] Flannel: WHat now? [05:58] bullgard4: better way is use opera [05:58] bullgard4: But, as for the helpfulness of #firefox, I'm not sure. But google should help (and trying .db files in your firefox profile ought to be short too, there can't be too many) [05:58] Nutzebahn: try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:59] Nutzebahn: theoretically, that'll work (so says the bugreport) [05:59] Flannel: Do you think it will take more hours? I don't have hours. [05:59] hello how to install a dock panel icon in the desktop ubuntu 8.04? thanks [06:00] Nutzebahn: It shouldn't need to download anything. [06:00] Ok. [06:00] you want to create a new icon on the desktop? [06:00] iFvwm: When helping, be helpful. Thanks. [06:00] A little bit of a learning curve to this Linux, but so far ubuntu is rocking my face off [06:01] skylar_, I'm under the impression you can't telnet to localhost, can you? [06:01] hello [06:01] is anyone there? [06:01] ok === richard is now known as Guest83520 [06:01] nickserv richard [06:01] vocx, that is right [06:02] Flannel: Thank you for your valuable information. I need now some time to digest it. [06:02] hey guys! quick question: i mounted a second HDD and now there's an icon on Desktop : 40GB Media [06:02] im a super linux noob and i need to install my schools vpn client so i can connect to the wireless network tomorrow [06:02] how do i get rid of it and why is it there? [06:02] azwillnj: I think everybody left for the evening. [06:02] can someone help me please [06:02] I haven't changed that much from default, just trying to get a dyndns up [06:02] fyrestrtr : like a dock icons that can be found in the bottom of the desktop...how to do it?i.e when you open mozilla it will display in the dock bottom... [06:02] Kompuntu: kde or gnome? [06:02] bullgard4: an embeded irc client within opera. it's very simple to use. irssi is not so pleasure to use. [06:02] gnome [06:02] i need to know one thing how do i configure in a seperate build directory? [06:02] Kompuntu: if on gnome, there is a setting in gconf-editor [06:02] does anyone have experience getting adaptec performance up????? Currently transfers are taking forevero [06:03] EvolutionXtinct, what's adaptec? [06:03] anyone? [06:03] jigp: add the active window list panel dock item to the panel at the bottom. [06:03] adaptec is RAID hardware [06:03] * EvolutionXtinct sighs..... [06:03] azwillnj, nobody is going to setup your vpn for you, no matter if you are in a hurry, not our fault [06:03] bullgard4: if you need perl script, then use irssi is good idea. [06:03] I am upgrading now, Flannel. [06:03] No one knows anything about performance right now :( [06:03] Kompuntu: open up gconf-editor and go to [06:04] EvolutionXtinct, I just love when people think other people should know everything you are talking about [06:04] Thank you. :) [06:04] iFvwm: I believe, it is much a matter of preference if one uses Opera or not. I like Irssi's small footprint. I dislike that there is no comprehensive User manual for Irssi. [06:04] already there, what am i looking for? VM? [06:04] i would hopefully think atleast 1 person otuta 100 would know [06:05] fyrestrtr : yes but how to remove the duplicated session? when i open mozilla, i have 1 mozilla icon in dock and i have also 1 icon in the left bar... :( [06:05] Kompuntu: go to apps > nautilus > desktop and uncheck the "volumes_visible" setting [06:05] plus adaptec is something atleast people in the IT industry should know. [06:05] EvolutionXtinct: yeah but you've only given those people 2 min to respond to your questions. i see about 1200 users.. but most are probally afk.. only see about 20 actively talking. [06:05] vocx: thanks for the help [06:06] http://scripts.irssi.org/ can make your irssi powerful. bullgard4 [06:06] Is it possible to edit crontab over an FTP connection? [06:06] i need to know one thing how do i configure in a seperate build directory? [06:06] J- i know :P i've periodically asked the past week :) [06:06] Guest83520, configure what? what build? [06:06] got it, do i need to log out and come back? [06:07] EvolutionXtinct: K :) Wish i could help ya :( [06:07] Kompuntu: i thing the change is instant [06:07] hmm...the icon is still there... [06:07] its ok google doesn't know much people reference certain aacraid modules but no one talks about how to implement it [06:07] glibc 2.7 when i run the configure script it say i need to configure in a seperate build directory [06:08] Kompuntu: :| try unmounting and remounting it [06:08] Guest83520, why do you want to install glib 2.7? [06:10] glibc 2.7 is required for fakeroot which is required for qt-x11 which after all that i can fianlly compile and install smplayer-0.6.2 [06:10] Nutzebahn: Let me know if it works [06:10] smplayer need compiled? [06:10] I will. [06:10] running ubuntu 5.10 so yes [06:11] bullgard4: Theres plenty of information out there for irssi. #ubuntu-offtopic is generally a good place to ask [06:11] ... [06:11] Guest83520: You need to upgrade. [06:11] hi [06:11] they only have .deb for ubuntu 7.04 [06:11] Flannel: OK. [06:11] minimum requirements are too high [06:11] Guest83520: 5.10 is no longer support (and hasn't been for over a year), you should upgrade to 6.06. and then consider upgrading straight from 6.06 to 8.04 [06:12] my machine only has 266mhz processor and 128mb memory [06:12] Flannel: 6.06 can directlly upgrade to 8.04? [06:12] iFvwm: LTS to LTS, yes. [06:12] nope, same story, as soon as i mount it - its back on the desktop... [06:12] iFvwm: i think its already packed to a .deb [06:12] Guest83520: You should think about xubuntu then. But 6.06 should be fine with Ubuntu for your machine. [06:12] Guest83520: so use Xubuntu; the system requirements of ubuntu have not changed dramatically between 5.10 and 8.04 [06:13] Guest83520, but you don't even need glib 2.7, you can use 2.6 or a previous version, right? [06:13] crd1b: Between breezy and hardy, yes they have. [06:13] iFvwm: I will visit ~/.mozilla/firefox/[profile]/bookmarks.html occasionally. Thank you for your information. [06:13] i just used the first one i found [06:13] hey all, trying to use CUPS to do network printing, and I've set up a socket on the main IP address, but when I try to access the printer info, I get a message saying I don't have access... it [06:13] its the PDF printer [06:13] ubuntu 8.04 [06:14] bullgard4: :D [06:14] Kompuntu: do your other partitions appear on the desktop? [06:14] Guest83520: regardless of that package, you really do need to upgrade to 6.06. You've got a number of vulnerabilities that will never be patched [06:14] nope, just this one...i found a second drive, plugged it in, created an ext3 partition, formatted and mounted [06:15] Guest83520: 6.06 will give you about eight months to figure out what you're going to do from there.

But whenever I try to mount, or evn use smbclient I get errors. While I know the server's working because I can use it through nautilus. [06:25] del 1280 lines [06:25] iFvwm They originally didn't have them [06:25] num1: what's the error you get? [06:25] bbiab, update just finished [06:25] kaiwen: you can add yourself [06:25] iFvwm, that's what I did, but still the same problem [06:26] i have a slight problem, "hostname -f" only displays my machines name, and not the fqdn, do anyone know how to fix this? [06:26] what is the ubuntu multimedia repository? [06:26] capitol: did you set a fqdn? [06:26] kaiwen: if here some higher resolution in xorg.conf? or paste your xorg.conf [06:27] iFvwm, the other computer doesn't have internet access, but let me try one thing and i'll get back to you. [06:27] LSD|Ninja: in smbclient I get "tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" or "session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)" when I run either "smbclient "//192.168.1.103/my%20book%20(g)" -U tina" or "smbclient -L "//192.168.1.103/my%20book%20(g)" -U tina" respectively. 192.168.1.103 being the ip address of the server [06:27] Aaron_Maso1: i have a domain set in /etc/resolv.conf and a hostname in /etc/hostname [06:28] LSD|Ninja: when I try to mount with "sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=tina "//192.168.1.103/my%20book%20(g)" /mnt/backup" I get "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.103/my%20book%20(g)" [06:28] capitol: What is the order line in your /etc/host.conf ? [06:28] arg [06:28] I give up on unbuto [06:28] erichammond: order hosts,bind [06:28] my inbuild webcam doesn't work anymore, is it possible that it doesn't work with the newest v4l-drivers but it does work with those ones that come with ubuntu cd. I compiled new v4l-drivers to get my dvb-stick working. [06:28] now I get an wierd error message when I try to scan for my bluetooth mouse [06:29] "can't create hid interrupt channel: connection refused" [06:29] google isn't much help and I'm stuck [06:29] lol [06:29] Singer: was your mouse already connected to another computer, or does it require a key to use? [06:30] iFvwm, the new intel driver was the problem [06:30] capitol: You can set the fqdn in /etc/hosts [06:30] iFvwm, i switch to i810 driver. [06:30] . [06:30] iFvwm, now everything is pretty again :D [06:30] erichammond: ok, thanks [06:30] :D [06:30] num1: it was, but I put it in pairing mode.. I did a hcitool scan and then hidd --connect [MAC] [06:30] capitol: After the IP address, it should be the first name followed by other aliases [06:30] iFvwm thanks ;) [06:30] no key reqired [06:31] by guys.. I'm gonna play w/ my pretty desktop [06:31] erichammond: works, thanks [06:31] Singer: then I don't know anything else that might be a problem, sorry === nostferka^ is now known as nostferka [06:32] anyone here use tovid ? [06:33] LSD|Ninja: so what do you think? I just figured out nautilus doesn't work either, it mounts but attempting to move any files results in a "permission denied" dialog box. [06:33] num1: I got it to work.. but it didn't make sense.. [06:33] num1: I took the battery out, waited 10s, put it back in, and put it back on pairing and now it works again [06:34] Are there .debs available for vlc 9.2 ? [06:34] Singer: huh, I hate unreproducable bugs, they're nightmares to solve. [06:34] Singer: but at least it's working now ;) [06:34] yeah.. [06:35] it took me 2 days to figure out that avahi = bonjour [06:35] Jordan_U: perhaps compile from svn. [06:35] that was painful [06:35] or avahi worked similar enough to bonjour that it was bad [06:35] iFvwm: It's stable, I would think there was a .deb somewhere [06:36] no idea. Jordan_U you can goto www.getdeb.com to find it. good luck. === Kartagis_ is now known as Kartagis [06:36] iFvwm: Not there [06:36] iFvwm: how do i install awesome/fluxbox? is it in synaptic packages?? [06:36] so .... [06:37] hi guys i got a newbie question ^^, how can i kill this process " /usr/lib/teamspeak-server/teamspeak-server.real -ini=/etc/te"? i used pos aux [06:37] ledenby: yes. but before install, you may take a shot on those wm. [06:37] hi, I installed the tovid package, and I noticed it is not working because a critical program dependency is missing. The name of that program is makedvd, and I am not sure what package that is included with [06:37] awesome is tiling wm. [06:37] I also noticed that growisofs is not in the repositories.. [06:37] does anyone here use tovid ? and if so, how did you get it working ? [06:37] is not so easy to use. ledenby [06:37] xfce is more easy. ledenby [06:37] and faster [06:38] i'll look for xfce too....tnx [06:38] ohh [06:38] vpnc is an package! [06:38] that's odd, findsmb returns an empty list [06:38] hi guys i got a newbie question ^^, how can i kill this process " /usr/lib/teamspeak-server/teamspeak-server.real -ini=/etc/te"? i used pos aux [06:38] anom01y: growisofs is in the repos [06:38] hmm I don't see it in mine [06:39] yeah it is not there.. [06:39] You sure you have the right repos? [06:39] anom01y: dvd+rw-tools [06:40] Could anyone help me with my problem here? [06:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/47107/plain/ [06:41] anom01y: The package name is not always the same as the command ( many packages contain multiple commands ), to find a package to go along with a command either try running the command and Ubuntu's command not found magic should tell you what to install or use "apt-file search " [06:41] shishio: run pa -aux to find the process number of the process, then run kill -kill [process number] [06:41] Please tell me where is yast in ubuntu? If no Yast what is the ubuntu proggy [06:41] num1, ty ill try now [06:42] sfer3: perhaps you lauched some QT software. and which occupied your sound card? [06:42] num1, ty it works [06:42] shishio: no problem [06:42] iFvwm: Nope, not any software I launched... have restarted several times. [06:43] .. [06:43] Jordan_U: I had that makedvd+rtools package installed, and, apt-file search give me command not found [06:43] or you had upgraded kernel? sfer3 [06:43] BimmerBoy: YaST isn't in Ubuntu [06:43] Jordan_U: nm I got apt-file now duhhh [06:44] no Yast? I changed display drivers and cant boot properly. gives me the tty everytime. [06:44] How do I change display settings then if there is no setup program ? [06:44] BimmerBoy: nvidia' card? [06:45] ati? intel? [06:45] intel 915 laptop HP nx6110 [06:45] BimmerBoy: sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh [06:46] how do i remote another compputer? [06:46] BimmerBoy: Sorry, that should be "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" [06:46] tyler_: vnc/ssh [06:47] BimmerBoy: You can also accomplish the same thing by booting into "recovery mode" and choosing fix X === edwinmmoore_ is now known as edwinmmoore [06:47] what? [06:48] booting into recovery - howto please? [06:48] !ssh [06:48] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [06:49] !vnc [06:49] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [06:49] Is there a program for linux that does this? http://mion.faireal.net/BES/ [06:49] Ok gotit - jusst hit esc - simple [06:50] BimmerBoy: When you see "GRUB" at boot hit escape, choose the "recovery mode" option ( you will also be given the option to boot into any older kernels you still have installed, choose the first recovery mode option ) [06:50] :D [06:50] OK, I got the prompt. Now what? [06:51] iFvwm: Yes, I think it was after I updated something with the kernel... [06:51] (sorry about such a delayed reply) [06:51] negativerad: which features spesifically are you looking for? [06:52] how do i reconfigure X server for my hardware? i ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org but it gives a failsafe config that does vesa 800x600 [06:52] negativerad: have you already looked at 'renice' and 'cpulimit'? [06:52] sfer3: sometimes when kernel upgraded, would bring hardware problem. uname -r. show your kernel version plz. [06:52] ushimitsudoki1... cpulimit for each process [06:52] chipr: What GPU ? [06:53] uname -r results: 2.6.24-19-generic [06:53] recovery mode takes me to the cmd prompt. It now expects some kind of input. Why is there a pain with display settings? Everytime I try to change it I end up at the cmd prompt. [06:54] sfer3： so find if linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-generic has been installed. [06:54] negativerad: cpulimit lets you target a pid i'm not sure what more you need === ushimitsudoki1 is now known as ushimitsudoki [06:54] ushimitsudoki... oh so there is something on linux called cpulimit ? [06:55] sweet [06:55] BimmerBoy: What version of Ubuntu are you using? It shouldn't take you to a command prompt in hardy IIRC. Either way, while you are there try running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" [06:55] negativerad: yes. please check out 'renice' and 'cpulimit'. One or the other may do what you need [06:55] iFvwm: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-generic is not installed, should I install it? [06:55] sfer3: yes [06:55] ushimitsudoki... thanks ! [06:55] Okay [06:56] sup? [06:56] sfer3: You should install the package "linux" that way your kernel and restricted modules will automatically stay up-to-date [06:56] Hi Jordan_U. I tried your command, but it did not fix this. After a reboot I still hang up at the 'Running local boot scripts )/etc/rc.local). [06:57] BimmerBoy: It may not be a graphics problem then [06:57] chipr: Have you tried System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers ? [06:57] what happens when you write an MBR from a drive to a larger drive directly (i.e. with dd) [06:58] I'll think about it [06:58] from cmd? thats all I have now [06:58] will the partitions be created and leave left over free space ? [06:58] Installed - should I restart? [06:58] I will. [06:58] :D [06:59] I will try to goto recovery mode choosing an even earlier version: Ubuntu 7.10 kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (recvery mode) [06:59] anyone know of a good program on ubuntu to view .flv files ? [06:59] orifice, iirc yes [06:59] schnoowork, mplayer [07:00] schnoowork: mplayer +some frontend [07:00] schnoowork: vlc media player [07:00] brower with plugin also do it. schnoowork [07:00] Takes me straight to the cmd prompt... [07:02] BimmerBoy: kaiwen use intel' card. you can ask him. [07:02] I tried your command again. Tells me it is over writing the custom config. I think this may work - let's reboot [07:03] simplly delete xorg.conf. maybe more easy [07:03] Thanks all, I have to leave now. I will have to return later to wrap it up - i am late... [07:05] Problem solved - thanks iFvwm! [07:06] :D [07:06] Hey Jordan_U, your command worked 2nd time round! I typed lime my #$ss. Thanks I got it back. [07:07] lime =like [07:07] hello, is it ok to ask questions about ubuntu in here? [07:07] cheers [07:07] hiya [07:07] the_zemo, of course :) [07:07] !ask | the_zemo [07:07] the_zemo: 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. :-) [07:08] hey i got a question [07:09] ok, sounds good. I am downloading ubuntu 8.04 i386 and I want to know how is the flash player working on it? I used it before and was unable to view youtube videos in full screen. Is it still the same? [07:09] !ask > malcolm_ [07:09] flash player works fine [07:09] malcolm_, please see my private message [07:09] yea i read your message [07:09] ill try fit it in one line [07:10] I have a password for a sudo user... So i typed sudo -s.. But the console says " John is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." .. So shld i use someother sudo command [07:10] sudo su for the superuser? [07:10] no sudo su for the soup user [07:10] i have installed lamp , in a directory /opt/ when i save a file it saves to /home/malcolm/ how do isave it to /opt/lamp/ [07:10] Ububegin: add yourself to admin group [07:11] Hi. How do I "unblacklist) something (i.e. my sound card) after blacklisting it? [07:11] I am fairly new to ubuntu and clueless when it comes to setting up Samba so that the windows xp machines on my home network can share files back and forth, anyone have a guide or willing to walk me through it? I tried using GSAMBAD but I think I might have just made things worse [07:11] the_zemo you do have to install the non-free flash player and the plugin for firefox, if i recall.. but i can watch youtube in fullscreen np [07:11] do you have any favorite to-do programs? [07:12] iFvwm: my colleague just told me to type "su" .. and it works... :D [07:12] have anyone here know any to-do programs for ubuntu? [07:12] J-n: how do I know which is the non-free flash player? [07:13] Ububegin: of course, su also can do it [07:13] I was wondering if anyone here has experience with a ThinkPad? I get clicking from my hard drive is that normal? [07:13] su won't work on Ubuntu, because there's no root password. Use sudo instead. [07:13] has anyone beaten the pc in four in a row ? [07:13] !flash | the_zemo [07:13] the_zemo: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [07:13] Ububegin: did you mess up your groups on that user/ [07:13] sudo su [07:13] that should talk ya through it pretty well :) [07:14] have anyone here know any to-do programs for ubuntu? [07:14] thanks to all who commented. I really appreciate it. I find using the IRC better than the forums. [07:14] iFvwm: No. [07:14] gtodo? pen [07:14] Ububegin, you can use "sudo su" [07:14] Flannel: ? [07:14] Use sudo -i instead. [07:15] or sudo -s, depending on what you're looking for. [07:15] i like echo xxx|sudo -s. :D [07:15] waan: so many sudo commands.. so whats the difference. [07:15] iFvwm, ? [07:15] iFvwm, is that really for ubuntu? [07:15] iFvwm: please don't give out bad information in this channel. [07:15] Ububegin, sudo uses root, su just uses elevated priviliges [07:15] waan: No, that's backwards. [07:15] can anyone help me understand what's going on with my hard drive? [07:15] pen: you can search software by excute aptitude search ~dtodo [07:15] Flannel, Ububegin ohh my bad [07:16] iFvwm, ~dtodo?? [07:16] iFvwm, why ~d [07:16] Flannel: bad infor? [07:16] ~d is search in descript [07:17] iFvwm, k thx [07:17] Ububegin, the other way around [07:18] waan: huh... :S ... i think i just stick to su... [07:18] Ububegin: no, stick with sudo. [07:18] what does changing the home folder within managing users do ? [07:18] ububegin - better just use sudo it's safest and probally all you'll need. [07:19] Ububegin, sudo is safer [07:19] it's not like su will kill him [07:19] is it normal for my hard drive to make clicking sounds? [07:19] malcom_: Change the user's home folder location [07:19] chubs, it might.. [07:19] thenetduck: I don't know about yours, but mine doesn't click normally. [07:19] Flannel: but sudo -s... alone .. doesnt let me enter the password [07:19] thenetduck depends... does it usually do it? ;) ... to me that sounds like a bad thing, but it could be that your drive is just noisy? [07:19] chubs: this channel, and many other Ubuntu resources, assume you have the root account locked. We don't support enablingthe root account. [07:19] Ububegin: What? [07:20] how do i grant my self access to change files not within my home folder ? like /file/ [07:20] ububegin do "sudo -s thingyouwannado" [07:20] No. sudo -s is like sudo -i [07:20] malcom_: sudo chmod 0777 (directory) [07:21] From terminal [07:21] It gives you a shell. If oyu wnat to do a single command, sudo [command] [07:21] oh [07:21] sfer3, malcolm_: no, DO NOT do that. [07:21] my mistake [07:21] Really? [07:21] don't forget your -r for recursiveness [07:21] I suppose all I do is pretty insecure... [07:21] !stop [07:21] NOTICE - Please stop this discussion NOW. See !offtopic for things that are inappropriate to discuss in this channel. Continuing will result in action being taken. [07:21] and don't do that on / [07:21] :D [07:21] er, dag nabbit [07:21] wrong one. Anyway, *dont* chmod, use sudo. [07:22] But he said he wants to grant himself access? I thought he meant more than just a one-off. [07:22] Sorry sorry, everyone whos wondering what that factoid is for, its just me being stupid. [07:22] sfer3: that would be done through other means, and likely should *not* be done on a permanent basis to begin with. [07:23] Flannel: Just out of interest, what should I use instead? [07:23] J-n, well it's a new ThinkPad and I didn't think it was noisy, but I installed ubuntu and I and worried if it has something to do with improper heads being loaded/unloaded. See this bug here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 [07:23] maybe all newbie would use gui instead it. ：D [07:24] Launchpad bug 59695 in dell "High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime" [Undecided,Confirmed] [07:24] It's still good to know. malcolm_ there are certain situations where chmod and chown (change owner) are appropriate, but in most cases shouldn't be used on files outside of your home directory [07:24] sfer3: If it really is on a permanent basis (which it likely isn't), it depends on what you're doing, but you'd likely set the groupto somethign appropriate, and add yourself to said group. [07:24] install nautilus-sudo script. [07:24] so whats the solution ? [07:24] malcolm_: What file is it? Why do you need to access it? [07:25] malcolm_, sudo gedit file if it's a text file. or whatever program you need. It depends alot on where and what the file(s) is [07:25] im doing web development and everytime i want to save a file i have to logon as root , copy to the directory and then reload ? [07:25] malcolm_: so, this is inside /var/www [07:25] #urbanterror [07:25] it gets a bit much after a while [07:25] yo! [07:25] malcolm_, you should probably set up a separate user for a webserver [07:25] no i installam lamp in its own directory [07:25] malcolm_: Why'd you do that? [07:25] Hi. I'm looking for help for creating an Intrepid boot USB stick, where should I go with that? [07:25] didnt know any better [07:25] chubs: www-data already is set up. [07:26] hi folks, i have used sftp to login to a remote server via the nautilus windows.. but i said save the password forever.. how can i logout from the sftp [07:26] malcolm_, you should probably use www-data :) [07:26] kohv: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support [07:26] chubs: No, that's still not the solution. [07:26] hi, I'm trying to permanently change the time on my ubuntu server but it keeps changing on reset, is there a tutorial you can point me to? [07:26] malcolm_: you also can sudo ln -s ~/log/xxx /var/www/xxx [07:26] Thanks, Flannel :) [07:26] Flannel, and why not? [07:26] chubs: use the www-data group, not the user. Wait and see. [07:27] malcolm_: add to www group [07:27] What is a good reliable dynamic dns service out there? [07:27] thenetduck did ya read all the way down on that page you sent me, it looks like maybe people have posted some solutions? [07:27] www-data group [07:28] just adding yourself to a group is strange for a webserver, but i guess it doesn't matter [07:28] iFVwm: is thta as a user ? [07:28] www-data ← [07:28] malcolm_: Alright, first, you'll want to use apache (and the rest of LAMP if you need it) from the repos. Then, your stuff will go in /var/www by default, which is a reasonable enough place for it. you'll want to add yourself to the www-data group (adduser username www-data) and then make it so /var/www is writable by group (chmod g+w /var/www) [07:29] any ideas? [07:29] rkvirani: I've never had problems with dyndns [07:29] Flannel: cool thanks [07:29] skiquel: What is it changing to? what timezone are you in? [07:30] malcolm_: Also, if this is just for hosting stuff from you, you can make use of userdir, which allows stuff in ~/public_html to be visible at host/~username/ [07:30] someone type is so faster... [07:30] hey does any one have a script to clear .. your current iptables settings ? [07:31] hi, can I have users which sharing the same home directory??? [07:31] central, I think I may have found something, is it about setting up a symbolic link to /etc/localtime... and central [07:31] naughtykid001: What are you hoping to accomplish? [07:32] naughtykid001: Probably, set it in users/groups - but you may have some sort of conflict with programs. Why do you need to do this? [07:32] J-n thanks [07:32] how to open in wine drive c? [07:32] thenetduck np :) [07:32] negativeB: it should be in your home folder [07:32] negativeB: ~/.wine/drive_c/ [07:32] Under .wine [07:32] I mounted it on /mnt/drive_c [07:33] Flannel: I'm hoping to create users who shared one directory as their home directories instead of each one of them having their own. [07:33] I can open in from /mnt/drive_c [07:33] but not from wine menu [07:33] Anyone uses sftp:// here... i accidently clicked on save my password forever.. how can i reverse it now.. [07:33] ~/.wine/drive_c/ acnnot [07:33] ~/.wine/drive_c/ cannot open [07:33] negativeB: right, but hoping to do what with that? [07:33] Ububegin: gftp is easy [07:33] sfer3: u mean /etc/group? what kind of conflict do you mean? [07:34] negativeB: Why have everyone share one? [07:34] password...hehe [07:35] Flannel: Regarding that group permissions for /var/www, how do you make that group have write permission to that folder? It doesn't seem to be working for me the way you said.... [07:35] ... now it's open ) [07:35] sfer3: actually I'm learning how to setting the access control for cvs users, which do not have access to the server itself. [07:35] maybe it was hard drive bug [07:35] hey guys, anyone figure out how to make laptop-mode-tools and cpufreq scale the cpu differently when on AC or Battery?? [07:35] but now its open ) thanks [07:35] sfer3: You need to make sure you're in said group, which won't happen until you log in again (see "groups") but chmod g+w /foo/bar/ will do it. [07:36] hi , how would i fix my flash on my web browsers if the flash content covers the drop menu and links in a website? [07:36] Flannel: Oh, okay. Haven't logged in again.

Welcome! [07:36] how do i give limited resources or a low priority to a process? [07:37] where does unicode support reside? Does it reside in a per application basis? or what... [07:37] Kelderkeuken nice pappy [07:37] yeah, nice [07:37] hey guys... i'm a teacher at a middle school. I'm thinking about buying 4-5 Dell mini laptops for my classroom but I want to run a remote desktop kind of program where I can monitor and/or lock student computers on the fly.. like if I want them to watch the board and then go back to their computers. does an app for ubuntu exist? [07:38] vegagt: You should check out edubuntu. [07:38] Yes, that does exist [07:38] vegagt: edubuntu has that all installed [07:38] Beat me to it :P [07:38] anyone know why I can't delete tasks from tasque? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:39] Flannel, edubuntu would probably work great but standard ubuntu comes preloaded on this laptop.. it's the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 [07:39] i don't want to void the warranty :D [07:39] anybody here heard of Nixstaller? [07:39] vegagt: Edubuntu has been moved to an addon CD, so you can install edubuntu (or just pieces of it) overtop of any Ubuntu installation [07:40] !edubuntu | vegagt [07:40] vegagt: Its basically just adding packages (and it wouldn't void the warranty anyway). [07:40] vegagt: Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org [07:40] sweet.. what is the application called? can i administer the laptops remotely via a Macbook or would I also have to run ubuntu on a computer? [07:40] i run PCLinuxOS at home (shoot me) so I'm somewhat familiar with Linux already [07:40] vegagt: Probably have to run Ubuntu on a computer, from the one I've used [07:40] tsolox: aptitude is good. [07:41] I alrready run linux on my notebook, too.. I can just have that and my Macbook at my desk.. [07:41] Good solution [07:41] HE I NEED HELP [07:42] !ask | wooboy77 [07:42] wooboy77: 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. :-) [07:42] (Hey, I'm getting the hang of this!) [07:42] when i minimize my window it dispapears... it doesn't show on the deskbar thats below [07:42] i have to use alt+tab [07:43] Right click [07:43] "Add to panel" [07:43] should usb sticks mount by default on ubuntu. i tried adding a 3g dongle and i dont know if its mounted or not :\ [07:43] right click what? [07:43] does anyone know how to get s-video out working with fglrx? [07:43] taskbar [07:43] and then window list [07:43] s-video. [07:43] ok got it [07:43] Then drag the window list to the area of the panel you want it to be on [07:44] yes, s-video [07:44] dvi/hdmi i know. resin [07:44] but not s-video [07:44] does anyone know at all ? [07:44] wouldnt is essentially be the same concept? [07:44] it* [07:44] e, perhaps make mistaken. :D [07:45] schnoowork: They should, but 3g dongles are different things completely. [07:46] sfer3, yeah i am looking at how to actually get it working. Does it require manual mounting. If so how would i do that :\ [07:46] schnoowork look at /var/log/messages [07:46] Hmm, I'm not into that too much... you might want to search around the forums to see if someone has already gotten your particular 3g dongle to work under Ubuntu. [07:47] schnoowork, i think your mistaking usb storage devices with usb communication devices [07:47] when will mysql server 5.1 be available in repos? [07:47] airtonix, im just following http://polishlinux.org/linux/ubuntu/three-uk-3g-modem-in-ubuntu-linux/ but he never says anything about mounting it [07:47] schnoowork, the way the two types of devices are used in linux are different [07:47] how can i block only chat in gmail using iptables [07:47] schnoowork its not something you mount [07:47] does anyone know how to get s-video out working with fglrx? [07:48] jeettu, gmail uses its chat over port 5222 by default [07:49] jeettu, but you wont be able to block the chat that occurs from within the website of gmail [07:49] has anyone done any remastering of ISO LiveCD Images ? [07:49] I want to customize the boot menu but I can't find where the /boot/grub is stored [07:49] ok how to block yahoo messanger from pidgin [07:49] every linux system, has a superuser right.. Is he "su"... or something else [07:49] schnoowork so check if the modem has been detected by looking at /var/log/messages, then use whatever program to communicate with the modem ... wvdial or one of the GUI ppp ones [07:50] go to manage account on pidgin [07:50] Ububegin, !sudo [07:50] using iptables [07:50] !sudo > Ububegin [07:50] Ububegin, please see my private message [07:50] vegagt: italc [07:50] void_pointer, it says airprime has attached it self to many ttyUSB* and not one [07:51] and i tried doing sudo wvdialconf and it doesnt seem to find it [07:51] jeettu, easiest way is to install the iptables gui: firestarter [07:51] jeettu, work out which ports your offending chats is using and prevent traffic on those ports [07:51] nm [07:51] I found it! [07:51] why cant i connect a network on my laptop? [07:52] schnoowork use gnome-ppp [07:52] Flannel, sfer3: any suggestioN? [07:52] yeah i am trying that aswell, and in setup that cant find my modem either lol [07:52] wooboy77 because you are woefully inadequate? [07:52] k [07:53] schnoowork you have installed wvdial, right? [07:53] wifi works but not when i put a cable [07:53] void_pointer, yes i have [07:54] what is the command that brings up gnome's picture viewer?

Did you look at the pm? [07:59] are your graphics drivers enabled xtrememertx [07:59] nahian, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash [07:59] xtrememertx what game are you playing? [07:59] glxgears gives me just around 200 fps [08:00] bzflag [08:00] void_pointer, i have to copy scripts from vim-scripts to my home, to make it work? or are yhey autoloaded if some option is set? [08:00] airtonix: I got it [08:00] battle tanks [08:00] tnx [08:00] i'm not even able to watch youtube [08:00] stodan dunno, i always just use my home folder [08:00] xtrememertx, what graphics card have you? [08:01] xtrememertx, and have you donw anything about video drivers? [08:01] excuse me [08:01] 810 integrated chipset [08:01] xtrememertx ah [08:01] i'm using i810 driver [08:01] xtrememertx there is a driver [08:01] oh ok [08:01] and i tried intel [08:01] u want to see my xorg conf ? [08:02] xtrememertx no. i don't even like looking at my own too much [08:02] :| [08:02] xtrememertx, pastebin it if you want [08:02] ok [08:03] schnoowork are you going to pastebin messages or what? [08:03] I'm having problems with me home server. When I run "apt-get update" the CPU maxes to 100% and the computer gets unusable, only a reboot seems to make it work again, I can't even kill apt-get. What could be wrong? [08:05] chubs: my xorg conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/47352/ [08:07] xtrememertx, looks fine to me, but i can't compare line by line [08:07] not on the ubuntubox [08:07] since there are a bunch of bugs for compiz (at least on my laptop), is there a channel specific for compiz? [08:07] oh [08:08] it seems as if it'd be a driver issue or something (i.e. compiz) using your graphics card [08:08] but both of those possibilities check out it seems [08:08] you were able to watch videos/play games/etc. before you had ubuntu? [08:08] yes [08:08] i used play counter strike 1.6 on xp [08:09] i posted on forums too but no help [08:09] even a avi file lags sometimes [08:09] When I put ubuntu into sleep mode, it shut's down instead and boots normally [08:10] i'm not using compiz .. its not working some error with aiglx [08:11] xtrememertx, what error? [08:11] chubs: i have these warnings in my log http://paste.ubuntu.com/47148/ [08:11] was war nochmal er befehl, um die ausführende "exe" zu einem programm zufinden? [08:11] !vnc > iNutshell [08:11] iNutshell, please see my private message [08:11] ubuntu-de tobago [08:12] but wine should help [08:12] xtrememertx, are you positive you're using the right driver? how did you install it [08:12] chubs, wine is for emulating window programs for linux isn't it? [08:13] Hi.. [08:13] how do I tell what verson is installed? [08:13] the driver came with ubuntu [08:13] i810 and intel i tried both of them [08:13] tobago, yes. i don't speak german though, i just saw exe [08:13] in the log file it seems to be loading the driver correctly [08:13] where can i get help about external monitor.. on ubuntu(gnome) Thinkpad T30.. ? [08:14] how do I tell what verson of ubuntu is installed? [08:14] !version [08:14] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [08:14] ah. [08:14] xtrememertx, yeah stick with intel. what model computer do you have? [08:15] celeron mendocina 466 mhz [08:15] xtrememertx, did you try dropping to 16-bit depth? [08:15] 384mb ram [08:15] yes [08:15] dri is enabled [08:15] and that didn't help? [08:15] nope [08:15] How do I fix this message? " unable to resolve host darkblade" [08:16] 466mhz is pretty slow by today's standards. you might be better off with xfce but in all honesty that shouldn't be affecting video performance that much [08:16] i'm using xfce currently [08:17] in what package is smbclient on hardy ? [08:17] aldaek: is that your hostname? [08:17] Yes. [08:17] aldaek: if yes add it to /etc/hosts [08:17] yea 466mhz is slow .. but i had no problem on xp ..on cs 1.6 i used to get 40 fps in opengl mode [08:17] well that's good. did you add lines 82-88 yourself in xorg.conf xtrememertx ? [08:17] with 127.0.0.1 as ip [08:17] g0g0r1n: samba [08:18] yes i added myself [08:18] g0g0r1n: or better: smbclient [08:18] i have been trying various things .. [08:18] cs16 can give 40fps. so goooood [08:18] Ok. [08:18] try removing them. I don't think those should be necessary anymore. [08:18] thanx [08:18] ok [08:19] did you try dropping your screen res to 800x600 or lower to see if that changes anything? === prateek is now known as Guest50479 [08:19] iFvwm: when sombody nades the fps drops for a moment to 20 or soemthing [08:19] i tried changing the resoultion too [08:19] but i dont think so. i remember my 386 machine, run quake3, only 40fps? xtrememertx [08:20] !root [08:20] 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 [08:20] quake 3 runs well on my stsem [08:20] #srijan [08:20] so you got how much fps with q3? xtrememertx [08:21] i dont remember === prateek is now known as Guest22815 [08:21] i played quaker 3 at that time when i dint know what fps means [08:21] . [08:22] another games you like? xtrememertx [08:22] such as etqw? [08:22] Hi, Would anybody know how to change file attributes? [08:22] i like many games ... but unfortunately since i'm stuck with this system i can only play cs 1.6 [08:22] hi. is there a recovery function in ubuntu ? something happened to my hdd, and i ran a fsck, and it found some problems, now it won't boot anymore [08:22] iFvwm, there's no way etqw would run on that system [08:22] Hi, I have a p4 dell pc with an embedded speaker within the chassis in addition to its onboard sound device on the motherboard. The thing is, the sound is only coming from the embedded speaker than through the motherboard output, anyone know what I can do? [08:23] whats etqw ? [08:23] it says that /etc/defaults/rcS is missing or something like that [08:23] xtrememertx: why... all idsoft.com' games can lauched on ubuntu. [08:23] hi [08:23] chubs: i play etqw well [08:23] !playonlinux [08:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about playonlinux [08:23] !cedega [08:23] cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega [08:24] dont know ifvwm [08:24] anyone know where i can mess with the sound dries? [08:24] iFvwm, he's got a 446mhz celeron, 384mb of ram, and integrated graphics. etqw wouldn't even install [08:24] drivers*? I need to switch from the embedded speaker to my onboard speaker === LGKeiz is now known as Keith [08:24] after get rid of the fps_limit. etqw can also get 4xfps. [08:24] chubs: ooo. that right [08:24] I dont want to go back to xp ... but this problem makes me weak [08:25] perhaps et can fit your machine. enemy-terrortory. xtrememertx [08:25] whats etwq anyways ? [08:25] system require is low for et [08:25] iFvwm, if we don't figure this out he won't be playing anything :) [08:26] yea lol [08:26] I play GTA:SA WWIIOL COD(2,4) Civ4 AOE2 and WOW occasionally with wine. [08:26] right.hehe [08:26] xtrememertx: You should probably be using the "intel" driver rather than i810 [08:26] http://pastebin.com/d754b510f why is it like this? [08:27] i'm using intel currently [08:27] xtrememertx, did you remove all those modifications you made? [08:27] yes [08:27] so many times [08:27] okay so this is a very obvious question -- but once answered I'll forever know: with a given tar.bz2 file (downloaded) that contains an app I want installed -- how do I go about installing? [08:27] xtrememertx, you know for those changes to take effect you need to restart x irght? [08:27] yeah [08:27] so why don't you do that now [08:27] !raid [08:27] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [08:28] 384mb of ram, perhaps is hard for gnome. xtrememertx [08:28] he's on xfce [08:28] kevin_: What are you trying to install? [08:28] add one ram chip? [08:28] hello again [08:28] alright ill try and come back [08:28] Jordan_U, a third party application [08:28] two slots [08:28] 256 and 128 [08:28] kevin_: What third party application [08:28] ? [08:28] brb [08:28] time to driver. [08:29] i used to run ubuntu 6.06 with 256MB of ram [08:29] Jordan_U, a chatting program [08:29] kevin_ most will have a README file or some such with instructions [08:29] it was a bit laggy, but ok [08:29] how do i make all my desktop icons smaller? they look fat and ugly [08:29] if my mother board has a raid controller, do I need to provide drivers while installing, and do I need to use the alternate cd? [08:29] jim_p: stronge man [08:29] OrangeKyo: stretch icon [08:29] kevin_: What chatting program? ( There is likely a .deb available ) [08:30] OrangeKyo: open up a nautilus window and go to Edit > preferences. There on the 1st tab i think is the zooming llevel for the icons [08:30] Kelderkeuken: yea but thats just for one icon. i want it to be universal. my icons should not be this big for the resolution i have [08:30] why i can't hear sound in my ubuntu...? [08:30] Jordan_U, you were right -- a readme with install instructions were included -- i was just so used to ubuntu automating everything as it has thus far. [08:30] no one for the my raid question> [08:30] ?? [08:30] Jordan_U, thanks for the hlp. [08:30] b4b3, is your speaker muted? [08:30] b4b3: there are loads of reasons for it [08:31] Hosstest: if the kernel has raid drivers built in, then yes [08:31] Jordan_U, the chatting program is called SecondLife [08:31] in win normal [08:31] b4b3: is your computer on? [08:31] kevin_: You should try to find a .deb, that way it will stay automatically updated and tracked by the package manager [08:31] sure [08:31] Jordan_U, as it turns out -- the program is entirely out of box -- in that no install is required. [08:32] kevin_: I am pretty sure there is a .deb for second life available, and I wouldn't call it a chatting program :) [08:32] Hosstest: *if the kernel has the drivers for YOUR raid [08:32] can anyone tell me how I can tell hellanzb to download sfv files as well as par2s? It doesn't seem to want to do that. [08:32] Kevin_ actually it was I who suggested the readme file, but what jordan_u is saying is correct [08:32] Jordan_U, well i think WoW is a chatting program -- so i guess its just a matter of perspective. [08:32] okay, where in the install do I provide the drivers if they arent provided in the keral? [08:32] Hi all. Anyone used webdav? I'm having problem connecting to some https://foo.bar.etc/something server [08:33] *kernal [08:33] kevin_: Here is a .deb version BTW: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Second+Life [08:33] i have checked system>preferende>sound [08:33] prodigel, that server doesn't exist [08:33] J-n, sorry Its this "XChat" ..throws me off as to who im chatting with. [08:33] Jordan_U, thanks -- I'll give it a try. [08:33] chubs, sure it doesn't exist, the protocol, and url schema exists :) [08:33] kevin_: np === jim_p is now known as jim_p_busy [08:34] chubs, ever used webdav? [08:34] prodigel, I figured you were confused by some tutorial. But what exactly is the problem then? [08:34] kevin_ i guess irc can be offputting at first, it is a bit oldschool, being that it does predate the web :) [08:34] kevin_ have fun :) [08:35] Hi, I use Ubuntu 8.04, and I'm trying to install the XMMS module for Perl, so I can get info about currently played tracks, with Perl scripts. It won't install though, it says I don't have xmms installed, but I do, in fact it's running right now. Note: I installed XMMS from source, because there is no .deb package for it. Here is the problem output when I'm using CPAN to get Xmms::Bundle: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=20293 [08:35] question: given that update manager alerts me of new updates, do i ever need to "reload" synaptic? [08:36] prodigel, no, sorry. but it'd help to mention which part you're having trouble with (like does that work with http://) [08:36] Anyone know if you can save an openoffice spredsheet as a tab-seperated text file? You can do it in MS Office but I can't find the option in OO. [08:36] Nope, you would only ever need to refresh Synaptic if you change repositories etc [08:36] J-n, actaully I'm quite familiar with irc -- just not this particular client. btw .deb => distribution? [08:36] kevin_: You may also want to look at playdeb: http://www.playdeb.net/ [08:37] lunkeoconnell, awesome.... cheers [08:37] np [08:37] kevin_: Debian ( it's the distribution Ubuntu is based on ) [08:37] i'm back [08:37] kevin_ cool, what client are you used to? if ya dont mind me askin' :) [08:37] chubs:no change :-( [08:38] ubuntu 8.04 desktop live cd always show screen out of range, who could tell me why? [08:38] Jordan_U, lol wow playdeb looks like a site for ubuntu noobies (like me!) [08:38] xtrememertx, =/ [08:38] J-n, windows standard w/ anaconda mod [08:38] davidzhang: most likely it is bad resoultion [08:38] any body could help me? [08:39] nickser richard === richard is now known as Guest59408 [08:39] marlun, you could save the OO spreadsheet as a CSV (comma seperated values) and then just replace all commas with tabs [08:39] !anyone | davidzhang [08:39] davidzhang: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:39] davidzhang: try starting in safe graphics made, that should allow the distro to load [08:39] to adjust it, go to System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution [08:39] Jordan_U, ah -- i keep hearing that name "Debian" -- good to finally know what it means. [08:39] chubs, I don't know what's causing problems. The idea is to connect by ssl (https), accept some certificate, and fill in user and password. In practice none of this happends [08:40] prodigel, but it works without encryption? or have you not tested? [08:40] hi [08:40] da**, the guy who helped me logged off, didn't get to thank him. oh well here *general gratitude to everyone here* [08:41] xtrememertx, I guess your best bet right now would be to wait and see if anyone can help you on the forums. You seem to have a peculiar problem [08:41] okay i install mplayer but when i click the menu item it says "failed to execute child process file:///home/richard/apps/mplayer (no such file or directory" i'm confused what should i do? [08:41] i bumped it twice [08:42] chubs, for the moment none is responding. Yesterday I managed to view an empty dir. on firefox. Still I haven't found any working webdav plugin [08:42] xtrememertx, mind linking me? [08:42] okay i install mplayer but when i click the menu item it says "failed to execute child process file:///home/richard/apps/mplayer (no such file or directory" i'm confused what should i do? [08:42] np thx [08:42] jasmine [08:43] chubs, I was curios how could I define the url so that nautilus understands it. I saw that when creating a new webdav connection by wizard nautilus uses dav:// instead of http. I'm willing to give it some tries [08:43] so, I'm trying to get the XMMS module for Perl, so I can retrieve information about currently played tracks. It says I do not have xmms installed, but I do, I have installed xmms from source.

Unless it's some kind of custom build... that may be easier to do. [09:05] is anyone can help me to setup AWN dock like mac leopard?

Sometimes it depends on other packages updating themselves [09:09] couldn't find package mplayer [09:10] Hmm, It's in my synaptic... :/ [09:10] ok [09:10] BunTai: What was it you were using? awn?

Open Terminal, then type "sudo apt-get install hellanzb" [09:18] It's in the repos [09:18] sfer3, i have no GUI [09:19] Aah, okay [09:19] So then that would be... [09:19] ok, did that [09:19] and where do i find it now [09:19] to open it [09:19] It should be in one of the menus.... [09:19] Uuhhh... [09:20] thats the thing [09:20] looked at all application menus [09:20] I've seen some terminals in text mode (i.e. ctr-alt-F1) that have been customized with a background image and different text colors [09:20] and no hellanzb [09:20] where can I set those options ?

[09:21] anyone know anything better for nzb files ? that can automaticly fix files and extract [09:22] with with grabit is way betyter than hellanzb [09:22] Guest59408: you get what you're given until the next release. If you want bleeding edge, all the time then Gentoo is over there --> [09:22] for some reason my system monitor's resources tab doesn't seem to be working correctly [09:22] Err grabit with wine [09:22] grabit can be used on ubuntu hardy 8.04 [09:22] ? [09:22] it states in processes that vmware is taking up like 1.5G of ram, but in the resources tab it says that it is using 400 meg [09:22] okay i do some research [09:22] ok [09:22] with wine [09:22] i ll do it [09:22] into proper manual installs [09:22] newsleecher is a nuch more robust option [09:22] much, rather [09:23] Hello all, how can I view remote x apps in my machine? I am using 8.04. Any pointers? [09:23] what's the bet he comes in later after breaking his system something cruel? XD [09:23] hi, any way to resize partition that i booted? [09:24] karayan: with some vnc client?? [09:24] hello, please could someone help me with a weird samba problem [09:24] anyone familiar with JavaScript Lint, and how to install/build it on Ubuntu? [09:24] nlksg: depends on how are other partitions made [09:25] karayan: Ubuntu supports X forwarding like anything else [09:25] Jim_p_busy : how to check? [09:25] jim_p_busy, not using vnc, I can do this using X isnt it. I tried, but without success [09:25] LSD|Ninja, do you know any good tutorials for this? [09:25] I want to resize and move my / and home partition that i booted... my laptop don't have CD drive [09:25] karayan: ssh -X ubuntubox from a terminal running under the remote X server and then run your app in the ssh session [09:25] karayan: google it, there's plenty around. It's not an uncommon thing [09:26] nlksg: What does it have? [09:26] hi, i have a problem i installed ubuntu 8.04.1 in a vmware somehow during installation vmware locked the screen asking for password, is there any? [09:26] nlksg: at a terminal do a fdisk -l [09:26] jim_p: Might not be able to do that while you're using the disk [09:26] karayan: vnc is the only way if you want to run gui apps on a remote pc [09:27] sfer3: i can do that even with all my partitions mounted [09:27] it will just list them [09:27] LSD|Ninja, I have tried that, but was not working.

Welcome! [09:32] yeah i'm not talking about that :P [09:32] i was going to talk about the cahnges in the newest ubuntu version === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [09:32] that's a rather intelligent bot. [09:33] theres been some real crazy changes [09:33] seriously, is someone controlling that bot? [09:34] hi all, does anyone know how to install vsipl on ubuntu 8.04 ? [09:34] man the spawn soundtrack is so awesome [09:35] no, but whatever it involves, it is much more worth it to install ubuntu than deal with wahtever windows problems that might exist [09:35] i don't know what vsipl is though [09:35] hi, I have a problem with my AMD Turion X2 Ultra... In Ubuntu the CPU is always at 100% and powernowd doesn't work. I think the kernel doesn't recognize my CPU. There is a way to make it to work? [09:36] locke: hey now, Windows isn't THAT bad. [09:36] yes it is.. [09:36] i havent been even almost satisfied with a version of windows since 3.1 [09:36] tried server 2003? [09:36] and 3.11 windows for workgroups even had its problems [09:36] yeah [09:37] i've used every version since windows 2.0 [09:37] including all the NTs [09:37] windows is very bad but it works with any hardware without much hussle... this is its power ($$ power) [09:37] '03 was one of the most stabe and compatible OSes I've ever used [09:37] apart from OSX, that is [09:37] nah [09:37] windows has problems with hardware that i've never had a problem with in linux [09:37] Xeppo: No, no-one controls the bot, as such. Anyone here can give it a command, for example: [09:38] linux supports all hardware i have ever seen lately [09:38] !askthebot | Xeppo [09:38] Xeppo: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [09:38] locke: I have many problems to install linux on my new laptop... [09:38] ah, cool [09:38] with a simple, next-next-next button install iway easier than any windows or mac install i've ever seen [09:38] i've installed it on many laptops with way less problems than any version of windows [09:38] yes, but only on old hardware [09:38] locke: really? [09:39] got a RIAD5 driver for my ich7 chipset? [09:39] cause last I checked, it wasn't working properly [09:39] locke is a very lucky guy with linux and the hardware he tries [09:39] ah. [09:40] in fact, i've installed it on macs with apple hardware that were suppoesed to be falwless because the OS was made by the same company as the hardware, and it took like 45 mins to install OSX correctly and had to install one driver off the net afterwards, but I installe dubuntu on the same hardware with the disc in like 15-17 mins with full hardawre support and didnt have to install any updates and it worked perfectly [09:40] I was looking through the hoops you had to jump through to get linux working on the macbok [09:40] and decided I'd be better off without the hassle === PanzerMKZ_ is now known as panzermkz [09:40] as I said, locke is very lucky [09:40] and then i installed the updates which were all automatic, and they were like 200mb of updates to make it work perfectly and fix all security issues, and it took about 20 mins to do all that [09:40] !offtopic > locke [09:40] locke, please see my private message [09:40] no, i'm very unlucky [09:41] usually most people who i'm not alreayd helping won't even talk to me [09:41] locke: OS X wasn't MEANT to be installed on anything other than macs [09:41] !offtopic [09:41] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:41] http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=20293 [09:41] and with a properly set up installer disk, it takes less time to install OS X than ubuntu on the proper hardware [09:41] are there any additional packages in ubuntu-studio that are not available in standard ubuntu repositories? [09:42] perfector: No, I don't think so.... [09:42] but being unlucky it is very surprising to me that some 18 year old chick decided to make me her entire support group and guidance in everything for the rest of this year or whatever [09:42] hi, there is a way to try the last beta of ubuntu on my laptop? Maybe it will recognize my cpu... [09:42] i didnt anticipate anybody using me as any sort of reference or help at all [09:43] miccantino: Is it available as a live CD? [09:43] hello i am using hardy heron and i need to use VPN client, to connect to a school. can anyone direct me to how to isntall and operate one please?

[09:58] i'm not worried about my hardware, i have a laptop with a USB mouse [09:58] i am, worried about my games [09:59] Well, I'd like it to pan /scroll pages in text documents & firefox [09:59] Don't think there's a shortcut for that [09:59] Hmm, I'm not sure about that... [09:59] Okay thanks [09:59] pgdn/up [09:59] johnwedd gaming isnt really one of linuxs strengths [09:59] i know, but the core os is perfect for gaming [10:00] but not to many developers [10:00] mmmh... someone knows if after I have installed an alpha version of Ubuntu, it will update to the official stable release, in the future, without loose anything? [10:00] miccantino: just keep apt-get dist-upgrade'ing [10:01] i would mount another drive for your personal files just in case [10:01] miccantino: yes but it will probably not be as stable than if you just download the stable when it is released [10:01] is there any way how to run vmware-server on hardy ? [10:01] miccantino the only real problem is that updates tend to come fast and furious, especialy if you havnt logged on for a few days [10:01] thanks guys [10:02] kosharl: there will be updates with the alpha too? [10:02] i ditched my intrepid install b/c everything depended on xcb-util and the version installed was too old for awesome 3.0 [10:02] what is the name of the latest edition, btw? [10:02] miccantino: constant updates, daily [10:03] latest stable is Hardy herron [10:03] beta version is called iterpid ibex [10:03] what in the world is an ibex? [10:03] wow, then it means that ubuntu developer community is very active [10:03] Bird. :P [10:04] johnwedd: 8.10 [10:04] johnwedd: it's a weird goaty thing [10:04] Isn't it a... [10:04] odd [10:04] Oh yeah. Confused. [10:04] miccantino effectively by using the pre-release you are alpha-beta testing [10:04] * LSD|Ninja notes noone in here will get that and those that do will know they were Onyxes :P [10:04] i can't change my screen res can sumone help? [10:05] it won't be long until we'll be downloading Nighttime Neko [10:05] jsmith101: Could you give some more information? [10:05] i tried to compile the alpha kernel but it halted on half way... (after 1.5 hour) [10:05] with an error [10:06] I wonder what'll happen in nine years when they run out of letters? Will Ubuntu even be around then? :P [10:06] then I think it's better to download a binary snapshot [10:06] what fonts do you all use in your terminal windows? I'm having trouble getting a decent looking/sized one at work. I use xft:smoothansi at home, but on the monitor at work this is too small [10:06] I've tried DejaVu Sans Mono, Andale Mono, and a couple others, but they don't seem to scale well [10:06] hello! [10:06] anyone that can help me out with a ethernet problem? [10:06] when i use linux, i give the kernal a wide berth, not really good at fiddling with such things [10:07] I think the best font ever is Windows Tahoma [10:07] !ask | maxjay [10:07] maxjay: 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. :-) [10:07] LSD|Ninja they will just reuse letters, they ghave alreadyu [10:07] is there any way how to run vmware-server on hardy ? .. i cant find kernel modules for 24 kernel [10:08] !vmware [10:08] g0g0r1n: won't it build the modules for you?

[10:09] i tried vmware server on feisty once, but uninstalled so I could virtualbox [10:09] sfer3, yes. after [10:09] ^use [10:09] i have been running ubuntu for some weeks and it's the best!

See you guys... Thanks for all. [10:11] i'm a little bit of a newbee on this so i dont really know all the commands and so on... do i need to reinstall the ubuntu system to get it recognice the other ethernet card? [10:12] No, not at all [10:12] philc: touch 1 &> /dev/null [10:12] MaxJay: no; just do what i asked you to do [10:12] I was just wondering, because if you put it in there before installing it should have recognized it and configure it, but don't worry about that. [10:13] MaxJay you shouldnt have to reinstall, modprobe will generally do the trick, [10:13] erUSUL: I'm trying to run the touch command as a background process, something more like this: tail -f /etc/hosts & &> /dev/null [10:13] a simple &> doesn't seem to do it [10:13] hi max... what model card is it?

[10:18] I am having big issues with the installation of Ubuntu Server. Yesterday I couldn't manage the network to work, I though it was because the network card I vas using (VIA and realtek), today I bought a NEW COMPUTER, I just unpacked it and I am trying to install this crap, now the INstallation hangs ant the very begining saying: "Starting system log daemon: syslogd, klogd".... [10:18] jyotsna: System > Preferences > Keyboard [10:18] nach: try installing it and see if it already exists :P [10:18] Can anyone help me???? I just donwloaded yesterday Ubuntu Server 8.04, [10:18] (and then "layouts") [10:18] Pizarro: just ask the question :) [10:18] !ask | Pizarro [10:18] notwist, it's above [10:18] nach: If you have a running X, you can use synaptic [10:18] my question is above [10:18] if my cd drive is not working can i install ubuntu on my laptop [10:18] centyx, i cant find the card.. in network settings [10:18] Oh, didn't notice [10:18] comicinker: thank but i want it in CLI [10:18] sfer3: somethings up with your messages. < sfer3> \ufeff!ask | Pizarro [10:18] Yeah...I tried changing the layout from UK keyboard layout but it won't let me [10:19] that why i want ot know the apt command ! [10:19] jyotsna: or easier, right click on your panel, click add to panel then add the 'keyboard indicator' applet. that lets you change layouts by clicking like in windows [10:19] I've run apt-cache clean since install, which seems to have rendered aptoncd useless? [10:19] nach: I'm still researching, I did it already... [10:19] notwist: Yeah, I was wondering why the bot didn't respond. Is it still doing it now? [10:19] yo yo yo [10:19] sfer3: nope [10:19] < sfer3> notwist: Yeah, I was wondering why [10:19] This is a new desktop computer, just out from the vendor, with and it hangs just after selecting the installation language¿?¿?¿?¿? [10:19] if i reinstall ubuntu. will the two network cards work then? [10:19] That's alright, notwist [10:20] sfer3: ask the bot again [10:20] it's so fast to reinstall so i can do that..

[10:20] i like to install this beautyful system.. [10:20] Pizarro: it's hard to say, it could be a lot of reasons. Some computers are simply not compatible with Ubuntu, it's happened to me a couple of times [10:20] MaxJay: Probably, but only if you don't want to go through this. [10:20] !ask | test [10:20] 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. :-) [10:20] There we go [10:20] nach: you can retrieve a list of all installed packages and their description by using: COLUMNS=200 dpkg-query -l > packages.list [10:20] comicinker: i know the dpkg -l show the status of the package [10:21] comicinker: easier to use dpkg -l | less [10:21] hi all, does anyone know how to install hpl on ubuntu 8.04 or just give me guidance on how to do so ? [10:21] ok, so you think there is no apt commande ? [10:21] notwist, well, it seems that several computers aren't compatible, yesterday a compaq was unable to make to work, and today a new Acer [10:21] MaxJay: why are you ignorin what people says?? just do what i asked to do 10 mins ago if you want help... [10:21] scuser: hpl? [10:21] notwist, I really don't want to go with Windows Server [10:21] Pizarro: are you sure there is nothing wrong with it? Can you install Windows? [10:21] sfer3: high performance linpack can be found at http://www.netlib.org/benchmark/hpl/ [10:21] notwist, the computer is NEW, today I just unpacked it, and it is comming already with Vista wich is working [10:22] nach: you can create a list of installed packages to reinstall them later with this command: dpkg --get-selections | awk '!/deinstall|purge|hold/ {print $1}' > packages.list [10:22] sfer3: I just want to measure the performance of my clustre [10:22] scuser: Aah, okay. Not familiar with that one. [10:22] !clone | nach [10:22] nach: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [10:22] sfer3: never mind :) [10:22] erUSUL, i did do the pastein, but i did not really understand... [10:22] Pizarro: Just because Vista works on it, doesn't necessarily mean Ubuntu will. [10:22] Are you sure the install disk is free of defects? [10:23] MaxJay: you have to give me the url of the pastebin you did with the output of the "lspci | grep -i net" [10:23] !md5 | Pizarro [10:23] Pizarro: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [10:23] thanks all ! [10:23] sfer3, well yesterday I could finish the installation in other computer for 3 times (but without the network) using the same disk [10:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/47383/ [10:24] erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/47383/ :) [10:24] Pizarro: is there no error message? It just hangs? [10:24] ActionParsnip: You can also do it in the CD menu, can't you? (Just in case it wasn't burnt correctly) [10:24] Pizarro, it could have got damaged in that time too, you know === Andrew is now known as Guest62991 [10:24] Pizarro: Aah okay, that probably rules out the disk. [10:24] notwist, just after the INSTALLATION LANGUAGE selection, it hangs saying: "Starting system log daemon: syslogd, klogd" [10:24] hi all, does anyone know how to install hpl on ubuntu 8.04 or just give me guidance on how to do so ? [10:24] sfer3: yes but if the image is screwed then the md5 on the cd for cecking itself my be damaged too [10:24] But, of course, it could have gotten some scratches between the 2. [10:24] Good point [10:24] scuser: what is a hpl? [10:24] elky, it could be, [10:25] Pizarro: have you tried different languages and see if the error occurs on all of them? [10:25] Pizarro: it sounds like a typical broken disc to me [10:25] !repeat | scuser [10:25] scuser: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [10:25] scuser: have you tried googling? [10:25] MaxJay: lspci | grep -i Net (you typed it wrong... Go to Aaplications>Accesories>Terminal open it type "lspci | grep -i Net" hit enter and paste the "output" [10:25] notwist, ok let me try to clean the cd [10:25] ActionParsnip: high performance linpack can be found at http://www.netlib.org/benchmark/hpl/ [10:25] notwist: yes, but in vain :( [10:26] Pizarro: if it's a CD-RW or DVD-RW it might be that the disc is permanently bad. I tried burning Linux on 3 year old discs once and it took me a while to figure out that they were all dead [10:26] scuser: you got a few spare machines eh? looks fun [10:27] erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/47385/ [10:27] can any one help me with gnome crash problem?i can see only a white screen and a cursor on login [10:27] !KDE4 [10:27] KDE 4.1.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment.

[10:27] notwist, it is strange, the disc looks ok, and I yesterday in the other computer was working fine, I cleaned it but I still geting the same message on screen [10:27] scuser: sownload the tar.gz and compile looks to be the way forward [10:27] Pizarro: is it a re-writable disc? [10:28] scuser: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-776318.html [10:28] notwist, no it isn't, it's a CD-Rç [10:29] !compile | scuser [10:29] scuser: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [10:29] could someone tell me where my X logs are? [10:29] Pizarro: when you boot the cd, choose the alternative to check the disc. There is a built in function for it. It might take a little while but then atleast you'll know that the disc is 100 % ok and can look for other problems [10:29] !xlogs [10:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about xlogs [10:29] !logs [10:29] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [10:29] how can i find vendor id and product id of hard drive attached to my computer? [10:29] notwist, I already did that, and the same message, I am going to burn it again [10:30] I mean my X display logs on my system :) [10:30] Pizarro: you got an error message while checking the disc? That pretty much settles it. Try burning it at a lower speed [10:30] DannyKing: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [10:30] Pizarro: lower speed takes more time but it lowers the risk of data corruption [10:30] DannyKing: also try dmesg | tail [10:30] thanks :) [10:30] notwist, yes, I get the same messasge trying to check it, I am burning another new one [10:31] Pizarro: if the other one fails as well you probably need to look for a reason on the computer you're burning on. Maybe bad type of CD-Rs or too high speed, etc. === eltech- is now known as eltech [10:32] Pizarro: if you burn slower you'll have more chance of a successful burn, I always burn 8x for bootable media [10:32] MaxJay: you pluggeed the new ethernet card incorrctly... open the computer case and check it [10:32] notwist, I am burning now at x12, but if the computer I am using as recorder is faulty, the cd wouldn't worked yesterday for 3 times in other computer [10:32] Pizarro: maybe it went bad overnight or something then :) [10:32] can any one help me with gnome crash problem?i can see only a white screen and a cursor on login [10:32] Pizarro: I was going to point that out :P [10:32] notwist, yeah, who knows, [10:33] kazalite, sudo lshw -C disk [10:33] !repeat | ganesh [10:33] ganesh: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[10:33] I am using Verbatin CD-R disks, so I don't thinkg they are such bad [10:33] ganesh: is it right after a clean install? [10:33] And can you give some more information about the problem? [10:33] * Kondensuotas_pie hau! [10:33] erUSUL, my computer does not have anything to open, the card is plugged in on a extensiocard on my motherboard. [10:33] Pizarro: probably not in your case. but sometimes brands of burners work bad with certain brands of CDs [10:34] brb.. it can be bios.. [10:34] notwist, the recorder I am using is a Lightscribe one (DVD/CD, etc..) [10:34] MaxJay: then check there. the card does not show on lspci that means that the problem is phisical there is no conection [10:34] sfer3:notwist: its same with all accounts except failsafe...it was working fine before [10:34] Hi guys, how come sudo update-manager -d gives the option of 8.10 already? Shouldn't that only happen on release? === _QS is now known as QS [10:35] nandemonai: are you running intrepid? [10:35] No, Hardy. [10:35] ganesh: did you change any configuration? [10:35] notwist, once ubuntu server is installed, how stable is it? I mean, am I goint to get some weird surpraises like this in the future?? [10:35] ganesh: install any new packages? [10:35] nandemonai: well if the repos are offering it then i'd take it, you should run updae-manager with gksu too [10:36] Pizarro: I'm running it on my router box right now and it's been running for 20 days atleast :P [10:36] -d, --devel-release Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible [10:36] (I am testing under vmware though but I'm talking about my hardy desktop) [10:36] thats why [10:36] notwist, I am asking because I spent 2 days trying to install this without success, and it is not the first time I installa Linux [10:36] Ohh right. [10:36] Pizarro: one great tip is to install the package called "ebox", that helped me a lot. It's a web interface that lets you configure the server with network sharing and stuff [10:36] notwist: dont remember...how can i check which is the last installed package? [10:37] notwist: webmin does that sort of thing too [10:37] [Organizing bookmark directories in Firefox 3 > Library] How can I rename a bookmark directory? [10:37] ganesh: not sure. the quickest way might be to reinstall gnome or something [10:37] notwist, OK, I was thinking about installing somethign to let me control the server from other network computer, like VNC, etc.. taht might work [10:37] ActionParsnip: I heard webmin was insecure [10:37] !webmin | notwist [10:37] notwist: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [10:37] notwist: how do i do that? [10:37] erUSUL: yeah, what about it? [10:38] notwist: not sure, i just know of it. I just use ssh :) [10:38] notwist, ok a new CD ready!, I am going to tray again the isntallation [10:38] ganesh: if you go into a command prompt like shift+F1 or something, you can apt-get remove the gnome-desktop package and then install it again [10:38] Pizarro: you should use SSH for text based remote admin and ebox for the network config (or just iptables if you're good at it, which im not) [10:39] ActionParsnip: ebox saved my day, i tried to get my computer up as a router for an entire day and with ebox it just worked [10:39] ActionParsnip: I wanted to kill myself over all the iptables documentation [10:39] notwist: or you could forward X over ssh ;) and use firestarter :D [10:39] how come when i have the audio enabled on the mana world i cant hear sounds from other media players?

[10:39] why can i not join #ubuntu+1? [10:40] notwist: not massively [10:40] notwist, now it didn't hang after selecting the isntallation language, but when the "Choose language" text windows appear....I give up [10:40] ganesh: sudo apt-get remove gnome-desktop and then replace "remove" with "install" [10:40] notwist: iptables is to low level for most uses... just use something like shorewall; firehol or other firewall script [10:40] freaky[t]: /join #ubuntu+1 === Liubing is now known as Sipingal [10:40] Pizarro: did you check the CD? [10:40] erUSUL: firewall is not only for port blocking but also for forwarding (ie routing) right? [10:41] notwist: E: Couldn't find package gnome-desktop [10:41] notwist: yep firehol and dhorewall do all that stuff (or a firewall distribution like ipcop or zeroshell) [10:41] notwist, yes, the same issue, same message, and hangs again [10:41] Pizarro: when you boot there is an option to check the CD, that hangs it? [10:42] notwist, yes [10:42] ah now it seems like i got a huge lag [10:42] ganesh: try tab completing the package name [10:42] notwist, if the issue was in the cd, the cd-reader should be working, however it's off, no light [10:42] Pizarro: maybe its broken? Not impossible even if its new [10:43] notwist, let me try with a cd of Xp [10:43] ActionParsnip: didn't get you [10:43] notwist, no, I am going to try with a debian genuine cd [10:44] ganesh: just like tab completing anything in linux, you can tab complete package names when you are playing with apt-get [10:44] Hey! what's a good site for freeware apps [10:44] does anyone no!

[12:12] allen: linux does a fsck peridically on startup or when there was an unclean shutdown... that does encrease boot time [12:13] allen: if you want to force that check on the next boot just do "sudo touch /forcefsck" [12:13] Ohh, I get it, the scans. Aah, I thought you meant something completely different. ;) [12:13] <^Elise> how mount samba share with full write support?

[12:19] comicinker: Nautilus webdav is broken in hardy as far as I can tell.. I can try konqueror though. [12:19] tom_: in ubuntu, your ~/.profile will automatically add ~/bin to your PATH if it exists. So just create ~/bin and use that. (You'll need to login again after creating ~/bin for the first time) [12:20] Debolaz: nautilus reports sometimes error messages when using webdav, however, as far as I can tell, even with this error messages it works when you use bookmarks or in the menu Places->Connect to server [12:20] Any word on when vlc 0.9.2 will this the repos? [12:20] Err will make it into the repos even.

[16:44] ok ty Jack_Sparrow , im lost if it comes to new things [16:44] st3ph your pc doesnt care.. use the most ram in video that you can afford [16:44] lorddp, your just not getting it dude. Yes, compiling makes binaries ;) Everyone knows this. make install will install the binaries, but it would be nice if they were integrated in the package management system -- THATS what I'm talking about.

[16:56] flailingmaster, boxee is only really being developed for ubuntu based distros right now, and its running great, im not looking to test in on other distros right now if you know what i mean lol ;) [16:56] Iris: Paste them into a web browser.

[16:56] Hi i need some tips on setting up my ubuntu to remote desktop from work with windows [16:56] flailingmaster, true that [16:57] flailingmaster, so you think maybe an alternate install of xfce?

[16:58] flailingmaster, or maybe just an xubuntu install and uninstall all the crap i don't need [16:58] shawnrgr yeah, if you want to stick within ubuntu-type distros, you might want to check out the alternate install of xubuntu. [16:58] Iris: did you open the link? [16:58] test [16:58] foorm: I might have missed that, but do your network drivers work?

[17:15] I had a problem with my Kubuntu Hardy CD, so I installed Ubuntu using its CD, then installed Kubuntu through sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop. I then followed the instructions at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde to remove Ubuntu (Gnome). Now, firefox and other gtk apps are ugly. What packages do I need to install at a minimum to fix this? [17:15] Hello. I have a SATA drive that I had removed my extended partition from, and then resized my /dev/sda1 WinXP partition to use the whole drive. (I was planning to install WUBI 8.04.1 and then upgrade it to 8.10). Anyhow, my Grub bootloader no longer boots, so I am unable to get into WinXP and run fixmbr. Also, the WinXP Rescue CD doesn't see my drive any longer. I have tried loading WDC... [17:15] ...drivers for the drive, but that has not worked. Furthermore, I have been unable to reinstall Grub into /dev/sda. I guess this is due to not having a /boot/grub directory on the drive any longer? The SATA drive is seen by the SATA controller, but not by the BIOS. I think this is okay, though. Not sure. [17:16] foorm: sorry, as I said, I have no clue what ultimately made my ndis driver work, so now that I see it SHOULD work, I can only advise one of two things: reboot and check that the drivers you use with ndis are for 32-bit win xp/2k [17:16] hope that helps ;) [17:16] Miles_Lane is this an addon sata card? [17:16] ok, thanks very much for theh elp[ [17:17] foorm: actually, do that in reverse order than what I wrote ;) [17:17] Jack_Sparrow: It in an onboard SI 3112a controller.

[17:18] g0tcha edit sources.list and remove the cdr reference [17:18] Jack_Sparrow: When I go into the SATA boot UI, it sees the drive, and I have the option of creating a RAID set or formatting the drive. [17:18] Jack_Sparrow, should i replace it with something else or just comment it? [17:18] what makes a package "untrusted"? [17:18] g0tcha: Comment it out, then run sudo apt-get update [17:18] Does anyone know how to get an ati radeon hd 3850 agp card to use 85hz on a crt monitor?

[17:21] Jack_Sparrow: I tried these instructions: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-natively.html [17:21] genius: thank you [17:21] corinth: no, but i'm running my own mirror locally using apt-mirror [17:22] corinth: of which i'm actually pulling from mirrors.kernel.org [17:22] Jack_Sparrow: Also, these: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [17:22] i installed vmware and it finished with no problems ,but when i am trying to start it it loads and then nothing,it doesnt start [17:23] try use virtual box [17:23] lastime i use VMware i fail to run it also [17:23] Hi everyone! How do I "mask" a package so that it does not get updated with everything else on my system by the update-manager program? [17:23] wizardslovak: try to start it from console. it will drop some messages here. try to run sudo vmware-config.pl = to ensure that yoiur drivers are compiled. If not- install sudo apt-get install build-essential [17:23] Jack_Sparrow: I am puzzled why the WinXP install CD isn't seeing the Windows installation and the drive and allowing me to run fixmbr. [17:23] i have virtualbox but i cant make ubuntu share folder with suse [17:24] genius: thank you for help ill try it,btw i am suse user ;) [17:24] ooo [17:25] i tried suse before [17:25] but i not used to it with KDE [17:25] Miles_Lane sudo fdisk -l to see your partitions from cli [17:25] wizardslovak: A SUSE chat room might help, since there could be integration issues that are specific to SUSE. [17:25] wizardslovak: so second suggestion - delete suse and install ubuntu :) i've come from SuSe and can say that Ubuntu is the best. i hate Yast [17:25] so in your opinion suse better or ubuntu? [17:25] !ot | jordan [17:26] jordan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [17:26] jordan Please dont do polls in here [17:26] geniussuse "help" on chat honestly sucks,i like ubuntu comunity [17:26] o.0 [17:26] wizardslovak: Ubuntu has taken from debian the best - it's package management. I can't imagine that i will use anything then Ubuntu or Debian [17:26] so far i am trying ubuntu and kubuntu in VB [17:26] wizardslovak: I second genius sentiments. Yast2 is horrible, imho. Also, I have yet to see a RPM manager that performs anything nearly as well as apt. [17:27] Need help with Samba. 8.04 & Vista won't play nice. [17:27] Anybody? [17:28] apt seems to be much more graceful and flexible in handling conflicts or missing files. [17:28] wizardslovak: Deb has not only the best package manager, it has make wrapper that adds all manually compiled programs to software database and can uninstall them. [17:28] Does anyone know how to get an ati radeon hd 3850 agp card to use 85hz on a crt monitor? [17:28] genius: what i am trying to do is to set up ubuntu server with x-window to server a samba server for my windows network,but i dont want to format my PC , [17:28] I deleted /etc/mysql . Anyone know how to get dpkg to generate a new one? [17:28] elexodus, there are over thousand of chatters here. the system works like this: you just ask about what you want to know. if anyone knows the answer, they'll answer [17:28] wizardslovak: i can't help there. I use only Debian and Ubuntu everywhere :) [17:28] how do you change the password through the CLI? i can't remember the command [17:28] genius: so far i like ubuntu , but i kinda like more suse the way it looks [17:29] Xcaliber009: passwd [17:29] magnetron: Need help with Samba. 8.04 & Vista won't play nice. [17:29] justin_: You may get better feedback on a Xorg list, or try putting a report into launchpad. [17:29] thanks qfour [17:29] np Xcaliber009 [17:29] let me try it for some time then ill decide,btw suse was my first linux experience but 70% i am about to swith to ubuntu ;0;0 [17:30] magnetron: I had asked, but was surprised to see little activity at the moment. Hence, I called out "anyone?"... [17:30] elexodus, that's not a question. and if you are wondering if anyone uses samba, the answer is yes. [17:31] genius: maybe u can help me, i cant share folder btw suse and ubuntu(quest) [17:31] magnetron: Yes, I am aware people use Samba. What I need is some help tweeking the configuration in Samba to allow my Vista box to map a drive from my Ubuntu box. I am coming off of a fresh install on each. Can yopu help? [17:31] Jack_Sparrow: When I run "fdisk -l", it shows /dev/sda1 with the NTFS partition on it. [17:31] can i use samba in quest os in VB? [17:31] elexodus, i don't know, since you haven't told us what's the problem yet [17:31] has anyone used xtuple's openmfg product? [17:32] qfour: look here: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html and check section 3.10 ... that is what i would try (but it is just a guess) [17:32] thx ushimitsudoki [17:32] hi [17:32] wizardslovak: use sft wrapper in nautilus so u don't have to mess with samba example: sftp://user@ubuntu/ === mohammad is now known as Guest25378 [17:33] genius: where to get it? [17:33] Jack_Sparrow: I suppose I could use gparted to shrink the NTFS partition a little, create a small extended and logical partition and then install ubuntu to that. Then I might be able to get the Grub working, boot WinXP and then run fixmbr. [17:33] i wanna ask why i open www.meebo.com in firefox [17:33] magnetron: The problem is simple: I intalled Samba, set up the user, confirmed a ping with the Vista box, and turned off win dows defender/firewall, yet I still can't get the two machines to exchange information, much less recognise eachother aside from a ping. [17:33] most of the time firefox will auto shut down [17:33] Miles_Lane see if the livecd will boot the hd install [17:33] how to solve this prob? [17:33] can someone help me? my gnome panel has dissapeared [17:34] Miles_Lane Does it boot to buntu now? [17:34] lin2 compiz --replace [17:34] elexodus, so the computers can't ping eachother? [17:34] anyone can help me on my prob?? [17:34] !patience > jordan [17:34] jordan, please see my private message [17:34] Jack_Sparrow: did not work [17:34] Jack_Sparrow: It doesn't boot off the HD presently. I have a 8.10 daily cd running currently. I am trying the Install from there. [17:34] ok [17:35] magnetron: they can ping each other, they just can't connect to each other. [17:35] hi... is there an other program like partimage.. i can't use partimage because i'm using dmraid and partimage can't identify my array [17:35] Miles_Lane Does the last line in the live menu allow you to boot off the hd [17:35] elexodus, are the both in the same Workgroup? [17:35] Jack_Sparrow: No. Grub hangs. [17:36] Jack_Sparrow: I forget the error, but can quickly trigger it, if you need it. [17:36] Jack_Sparrow: The LiveCD is starting the partition manager now. [17:36] Miles_Lane I am sorry but I just dont have the time [17:36] Jack_Sparrow: Okay. [17:36] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks for your help. [17:37] i just installed ubuntu on an AMD 780G motherboard, and I can't change the resolution. Also, I can't enable the ATI restricted driver [17:37] ushimitsudoki: that's exactly what i was looking for. thanks! [17:37] Jack_Sparrow: We need a couple other support people here, I guess. :-) Cheers. [17:37] qfour: quite welcome. good luck! [17:37] magnetron: as far as I can tell. Vista auto configured the network, so who knows? I sort of had it before; Vista recognised the ubuntu box, and prompted me for a password, however my username and password didn't check out. So I started some trouble shooting on the Ubuntu machine, and for some reason, I can't get the login prompt back. [17:37] sup ya'll? [17:38] hey, how to set up that Compiz-fusion starts automatically on start? [17:38] genius: i am trying to install guest addidtions with command "bash ./VBoxLinux*" but i am getting error "Please install the build and header files for your current Linux kernel" what should i do?? [17:38] !buildessential [17:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about buildessential [17:39] !buildessentials [17:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about buildessentials [17:39] elexodus, if you get that password box prompt back, i can easily help you fix that. do you remember what kind of "troubleshooting" you did on the ubuntu computer? [17:39] !build-essentials [17:39] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [17:39] hey can anyone help im trying to burn a iso if ubuntu studio but it keep saying windows cant copy this file any ideads on how to burn it so i can install on boot? [17:39] Anyone here use mediatomb to connect to their xbox 360? [17:39] genius: is there command to install or update them? [17:39] STRIFEMILO: Try a usb stick?

Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto === abjdshfsd is now known as nixbox [17:40] no i need to install it in ubuntu [17:40] Alright, guys. Ziroday helped me fix a problem I was having the other day with my video being scrambled/encrypted. Now that I have that issue fixed, the sound coming from the system to my surround sound is staticy. [17:40] wizardslovak see the build-essentials lionk above [17:41] STRIFEMILO: If it's empty you could extract the iso to the external hard-drive. If it isn't empty I wouldn't attempt it, I had problems booting ubuntu from a usb stick when I had other stuff on there. [17:41] It's not like radio static. It's only gets staticy when there's any type of voice talking. [17:41] sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential [17:42] lolyeah thats what i was weary of since i have like 440gib on there atm [17:42] Fused: is the static independent of the source and the player? I ask because certain radio streams are "static-y" for me in Exaile but not in Rhythmbox for example [17:42] STRIFEMILO: What kind of error exactly does it give you when you try to copy the iso? [17:44] hreno: System>Preferences>Sessions click "+add" and type "Compiz Fusion" (Name:) and "fusion-icon" (Command:). You can also do this by going to [System] -> [Preferences] -> [Sessions] -> [Startup Programs] [17:44] ushimitsudoki: It's not just one program specific, or one website specific. [17:44] elexodus, i need you to answer some questions: what kind of troubleshooting did you do at the ubuntu box. did you edit the smb.conf or any other files? if you browse the network on the vista machine, do you see the ubuntu machine? === freqk is now known as freqk|away [17:44] ushimitsudoki: It's all over the place. Any type of voice has a static pitch to it. [17:44] first of all i have a mesesage that says confirm stream loss saying that the file contains more information attatched to it and it may get lost then it says problem copying windows encountered a problem when trying to copy this file what do you want to do retry or cancel??? :S [17:44] hreno: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz_Fusion#Autostart_.28with_.22compiz-fusion.22.29 === freqk|away is now known as freqk [17:45] magnetron:... [17:46] elexodus, yes? [17:46] hello [17:46] STRIFEMILO: It sounds like the file didn't finish downloading or something like that... [17:46] genius: what link? [17:46] Fused: did you try "speaker-test -t wav -c2" and then stepping up channels to test the rest of the surround channels? [17:46] End user here with a silly question you've answered ten million times before: How do you set a screen resolution manually? [17:46] is there a way to connect bluetooth headset in ubuntu so i can hear sound and use sky by it ? [17:46] It will only give me ridiculously small resolution options. [17:46] wizardslovak: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential [17:46] ushimitsudoki: No, I haven't. [17:47] hmm so do you recommend a redownload to see if that's case if so can you suggest any other links apart from the ubuntu studio site ? [17:47] Fused: well that is where i would start [17:47] ushimitsudoki: It sounds perfectly fine with the speaker test. [17:47] ushimitsudoki: I know I'm not losing my mind, though. [17:47] can someone please help me? i am logged into a failsafe gnome session now, when i try to login normally nothing happens [17:48] Fused: then the problem is more likely in your audiosink [17:48] Please, ANYONE can help me to BURN A DVDRW on Ubuntu Server fomr the command line??? [17:48] STRIFEMILO: I would try downloading it from another mirror if you can find it, if not just try replacing the file. [17:48] hey i am a newbie and my problem is that i just changed the theme and suddenly the screen appears to be very big.I checked the APEARANCE i didnt get any option to change the resolution [17:49] ushimitsudoki: It was fine until I attempted to install a few packages to fix the scrambled/encrypted video problem. [17:49] genius: "you should explicitly select one to install" how do i know which one i need? [17:49] prap19: screen resolution under settings [17:49] wizardslovak: please private [17:49] well the problem im having with the site is that im finding it all abit confusing i've downloaded the top link on the ubuntu studio download page which is for x86/x64 but then there's alternative links but i cant make any sense of them :( === \0 is now known as udk [17:50] STRIFEMILO: Which do you have x86 or x64? [17:50] Does anyone know how to get an ati radeon hd 3850 agp card to use 85hz on a crt monitor? [17:51] hi [17:51] x86 which if im right in thinking is for 32bit systems [17:51] STRIFEMILO: Yeah, that's right. [17:52] nkei0: so im rather stumped now as to whats going wrong with it :S it isn't anything to do with the fact that im trying to burn it through windows is it? [17:52] STRIFEMILO: Did you try the canonical release the first time? [17:52] Fused: if it were me i would pick on program that can handle different audiosinks (like vlc) and try alsa/oss/pulse/jack (you will have to toggle these in system settings somewhere to - I forget). If one or more of those audio back-ends does NOT produce the static (and you know this is going to happen because speaker-test had no static), then it probably means your current audio-backend needs tweaking [17:52] Hi, is there supposed to be a directory "/sbin" [17:52] nkei0: yeah thats the one i downloaded the first time and this time [17:52] burt: yep [17:52] Fused: anyway that's what i would do. Starting with disabling pulse and trying also if it were my boxen [17:52] erUSUL, ok thanks [17:53] Fused: also = ALSA srry [17:53] erver irc.ircnet.pl [17:53] STRIFEMILO: It shouldn't matter what OS you're trying to burn the .iso from. You could always try another program too. [17:54] well i've tried just plain copying and that hasn't worked erm poweriso says there not enough blocks of media magic iso says it cannot varify the media so im alittle confused lol [17:54] !kernel | jessid [17:54] I have ubuntu minimal setup but I would like to put a light (as in downloads) window manager on. is xfce my only option? [17:54] jessid, please see my private message [17:55] eps: no there is also LXDE (and more besides that) [17:55] hey jim_p [17:55] hi there [17:55] ushimitsudoki, I will try that thank you :D [17:55] i am tired as ...

He installed the nvidia restricted module driver in ubunntu 8.04. When I went into the nvidia x settings it showed his screen as having a maximum of 640x480 resolution when I know it in fact supports more. I opened his xorg.conf and it listed one monitor in there that didn't have any resolutions or any kind of information about it. How can I help my friend out? [18:10] duncan-nz you can go to ipchicken.com [18:10] Jack_Sparrow: Just got it anyhow. The "alien" package took care of me. Thx [18:10] duncan-nz: type "ifconfig" in a terminal [18:11] duncan-nz: there are other ways too.. but that is the easiest if you ask me [18:11] yaddle ask in a redhat based distro channel how you extract an RPM which is different than using Alien to install it.. [18:11] yaddle Alien is a VERYBGAD idea [18:11] yaddle Alien is a VERY BAD idea [18:11] !alien [18:11] rob__: I'm guessing he has some kind of internal ip.. we're not interested in the external one (assuming there's a router somewhere) [18:11] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system.

[18:13] <_Zeus_> ls | while read FILE; do NEWFILE=`echo "$FILE" | tr 'badcharacter' 'newcharacter'`; mv "$FILE" "$NEWFILE"; done [18:13] duncan-nz: ctrl+c [18:13] Slart, and isn't it just pinging itself? [18:13] I have not, will do [18:13] _Zeus_: that looks nice, thanks [18:13] <_Zeus_> ls | while read FILE; do NEWFILE=`echo "$FILE" | tr 'ö' 'o'`; mv "$FILE" "$NEWFILE"; done [18:13] duncan-nz: each computer has a different ip number.. so you can ping yourself, the other computer, googles computer or whatever [18:13] <_Zeus_> that will move all the weird characters to "o" [18:13] It seems that my up and down keys don't work in bash either. [18:13] <_Zeus_> you can change it if you wait [18:13] <_Zeus_> *want [18:14] Slart, it consistently gets something. I took the first value of inet addr:192.168.10.241 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [18:14] Hi, my friend is having a problem getting his screen size to be set right. He installed the nvidia restricted module driver in ubunntu 8.04. When I went into the nvidia x settings it showed his screen as having a maximum of 640x480 resolution when I know it in fact supports more. I opened his xorg.conf and it listed one monitor in there that didn't have any resolutions or any kind of information about it. How can I help my friend [18:14] out? The screen resolution was 640x480 as well when I installed ubuntu so maybe there is a problem somewhere in it detecting the screen resolution. I know the 7600 can support highher than that. [18:14] <_Zeus_> remoteCTRL: hang on, that [18:14] duncan-nz: that would mean your ip is 192.168.10.241 [18:14] thanks slart! [18:14] duncan-nz: do that on the other computer too.. you should get a different number [18:14] dasginganinja: Tried nvidias drivers from the website? [18:14] joakim: you're welcome [18:15] <_Zeus_> ls | while read FILE; do NEWFILE=`echo "$FILE" | tr 'ö' 'o'`; [ "$FILE" = "$NEWFILE" ] || mv "$FILE" "$NEWFILE"; done [18:15] _Zeus_: that worked like charms thaks a lot man! [18:15] Slart, OK, I'll go to the other machine and write the number down... [18:15] so, if a package isn't signed, apt is giving me warnings about the package not being signed. aren't all packages in the repos signed? [18:15] benjick: no i haven't [18:15] rob__ if you pull up the old 0.3/ 0.4 documentation it has some steps for changing the order and location of the buttons [18:15] anyone here use gizmo on 64bit? [18:15] duncan-nz: it will probably just differ in the last number [18:15] benjick: I'm trying to get a bunch of suggestions to try for when I head over to his house later [18:15] eightyeight: afaik they should all be signed.. which package is it? [18:15] Hello, little ot: I have a networkhdd and I want my friend to access it. How can I get the ip-address for the hdd ? [18:15] netecho thanks, ill look in that [18:15] no prob [18:16] Slart: gajim 1.1 for amd64 [18:16] rob__ also keep an eye for the stable release of 1.0 it should be out shortly [18:16] !info gajim [18:16] Slart: gajim 0.11 i meant [18:16] gajim (source: gajim): Jabber client written in PyGTK.

[18:16] eightyeight: are you sure you haven't added another repository besides the official ones? [18:17] Slart: also got it on a few other packages, such as 'debsig-verify' [18:17] how can i make ubuntu boot faster, it takes like 1 min to do it [18:17] Slart: i'm using apt-mirror to mirror 'mirrors.kernel.org'. i'm only mirroring the 4 repos: main, restricted, universe and multiverse [18:17] argento Remove splash from the grub command line [18:18] argento: there are some tricks to try.. google for +ubuntu +tweak +boot or something.. you should get lots of hits [18:18] argento get the package bootchart [18:18] Slart: would that cause the problem? i wouldn't think so, as it's just grabbing the debs from the mirror, and downloading them locally [18:18] argento: I tried doing it for a while.. but I never got below ~40s so I gave up [18:18] the output will show you what its hanging on, it shouldn't take 1 minute [18:18] hey guys, how good is usb hard drive support under ubuntu? [18:18] ip [18:18] i dont get why eeepc can boot in 25secs [18:18] eightyeight: I'm not really sure..

How can usb drives get locked by windows? === [ID]-5341 is now known as georgeZL [18:20] How do I delete a software raid that I created in the installer? [18:20] armornick: well.. weird things can get you problems.. proprietary stuff is almost always weird in some way [18:20] I set my partitions up wrong and now I have the old md0 lingering [18:20] Slart, dont get what you say [18:21] Anyone know why the user I just added cannot use tab completition or the arrow keys in any terminal? [18:21] * [gnubie] waves to all.. gtg now.. thanks.. [18:21] armornick the do all of the time and either need to get booted and unmounted in windows or forced under linux [18:22] faemir there is a tab complete package for it, I just dont know the name [18:22] everytime I use mdcfg to delete it, it tells me it's in use [18:22] Jack_Sparrow: bash-completion is already installed [18:22] that doesn't explain up and down and how my original user can do it all [18:22] k [18:22] I've even used mdadm --stop /dev/md0 and still can't kill it [18:22] HI... i need a help.... [18:22] !ask > army711 [18:23] army711, please see my private message [18:23] Hello.. Have a quick question.. [18:23] Problem : i have a small problem with firefox .... the Arabic fonts are rendered in separated characters.... arabic characters must be connected not separated .... anyone can tell me what's wrong , and what can i do? [18:23] how do we fix the invalid signature problem when we apt-get update.. [18:23] hi, i cant get my bt home hub network to work, my ethernet controller is recognised in the lshw -C network command and i can connect to other networks, does anybody have any ideas? [18:23] so, kubuntu was installed first, and then KDE4, but GDM does not have the entry for Kubuntu how to add it? [18:23] it keeps complaining about invalud signatures [18:23] argento: bah.. I can't explain it easily.. sorry [18:24] Basic end-user here. lspci says I have an nvidia RIVA TNT2 video card. X won't let me change screen resolution to anything more than 800X600. Suggestions? [18:24] Does anybody know where I can find the getlib deb file? [18:24] i have searched the internet, many complains, but coudn't find the right solution.. [18:24] wolfwalker: yes I have suggestions [18:24] Slart, i want to speedup boot... i dont get why ipv6 would help me [18:24] hey guys [18:24] wolfwalker: you got the Nivida drivers from Ubuntu repo yes? from apt-get or syanpatic [18:24] what IRC clients are you using? [18:24] Yes. The restricted driver is running [18:25] And I got nvidia-settings. [18:25] argento: ipv6 won't help you.. but disabling it might [18:25] After installing, tried to run nvidia-settings as sudo. Won't run. [18:25] wolfwalker: I have been told that these drivers are broken if you get them from Ubuntu, I was trying to help someone with this last night in fact. you will have to download the offical driver from the Nivida website and install that [18:25] Says the nvidia driver is not in use, even though it most certainly is. [18:25] Slart, i dont get still [18:25] They have official drivers for Ubuntu? [18:25] Neato [18:26] wolfwalker: their drivers are distro non-specific [18:26] wolfwalker: of course they have offical driers for Linux, get from Nivida website yeah [18:26]  i want to know if it's possible to copy a USB pen memory into my pc when i connect it ... but in background... [18:27] Slart, that worked. Again I get a steady reply. What now. [18:27] for sound, what package would contain -> gnome-volume-control [18:27] ? [18:27] Any one knows how to fix the invalid signature problem in apt-get? [18:28] SebNaitsabes, this what I need? http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_x86_71.86.06.html [18:28] please [18:28] so Ubuntu was installed first on a computer from ISO, then I installed kubuntu and KDE4, but GDM does not have the entry for Kubuntu how to add it? [18:28] wolfwalker: if you think that's for your driver I guess so [18:28] SebNaitsabes: on the login screen "change sessions" to kde and you' [18:28] *you'll be there. [18:29] Scrunizi: yes I know normalley it updates the session changer, but this time it didn't [18:29]  i want to know if it's possible to copy a USB pen memory into my pc when i connect it ... but in background... someone can help me? [18:29] Scrunizi: hence the whole manualley adding the entry thing [18:29] I'm trying to figure out how the best solution for remote svn backups using two ubuntu servers. Anyone have any suggestions or know any tutorials? [18:29] SebNaitsabes: arg.. which I had the answer for that.. sorry don't [18:29] Problem : i have a small problem with firefox .... the Arabic fonts are rendered in separated characters.... arabic characters must be connected not separated .... anyone can tell me what's wrong , and what can i do? [18:30] duncan-nz: ok.. so now you know those two computer can talk to each other [18:30] Hello. My ISP recently switched over to gmail. Is anyone using getmail or fetchmail to access imap.gmail.com and have any pointers? I'm blind and don't have the tools to access mail thru the web. [18:30] for sync, use unison [18:30] will grub-gfxboot allow me to boot at a higher resolution? My hdtv can support 1024x768 at the lowest and I know grub is set to 640x480 IIRC [18:30] duncan-nz: what was it you wanted to do again? [18:30] Slart, remote desktop. [18:30] duncan-nz: are you using some special program? vnc? [18:30] jesselucas: use unison.. its the best one.. [18:31] whats hal necessary for? [18:31] I'm using the built in bits. So yes vnc I think, via vinagre. === zibri_ is now known as zibir === zibir is now known as zibri [18:31] Slart, I'm using the built in bits. So yes vnc I think, via vinagre. [18:32] duncan-nz: ok, so you enable remote desktop on one machine and on the other you run the client, right? [18:32] nabil: Thanks! Just for backups or actually in place of svn? [18:32] duncan-nz: and when you start the client and click connect you write the ip-number of the other computer in the box that says "host" [18:33] Does GRUB-GFXBOOT send a higher resolution to the monitor? [18:33] hi, how can I make the 'Documents' directory to point to another directory? [18:33] is use it for sync, [18:33] Slart, but I thought it could look at the local network and give me the computer names which are available? I'll try typing it in directly in a moment, got to get the washing before the rain... [18:33] since there are two places where the files are stored, it also serves as backup [18:34] duncan-nz: nah.. I don't think it can do that.. (I'm not sure though.. ) [18:34] i am sorry, what you mean by svn? [18:34] nabil he means subversion [18:34] nabil: yeah subversion, sorry about that [18:34] gonzaloaf_laptop, the "Documents" entry is just a bookmark in Nautilus. just remove the bookmark using the nautilus file browser, then add a new one to the desired folder [18:35] hum, i am not sure about subversion [18:35] im not a genius about it, I just know how to download from it [18:35] Slart, I was at a nerd week and we could do that, but maybe it requires something different of the network. [18:35] !puregnome > SebNaitsabes [18:35] SebNaitsabes, please see my private message [18:35] but, open the terminal and type in sudo apt-get install subversion [18:36] duncan-nz: you could setup a server that does it.. dhcp+dns .. but I'm assuming you haven't set that up [18:36] who called me? [18:36] and then when ever you see a link with a svn prefix you can copy it and paste it in the terminal and it should download and install. I tihnk its just another kind of protocol [18:36] well, if unison is easy I'll just use both. subversion for the dev people to use and unison to sync the two servers [18:36] now i've tried to change those files with no success [18:36] I just need an easy way to back up the subversion repository. [18:36] l [18:37] hey guys, is it possible to put an entire directory into an ftp server using ftp console client, instead of putting files one by one? [18:37] magentar, thanks [18:37] i do have great problems logging into a newly installed 8.04-1 anyone? [18:38] Anyone ever configured pulse audio to send audio to another machine? [18:38] windmill: yup [18:38] thats a good idea... use unison to copy the changes to the remote server [18:39] m1oluf: showing this function to my friend [18:39] dreamnid_, I need to set PULSE_AUDIO to the IP address? [18:39] Why do i use tar to unpack file under root user, but it creates file with another user ownership! [18:40] genius: why? [18:40] dreamnid_, any tips? [18:40] windmill: Err, what? You shouldn't have to edit anything [18:40] dreamnid_, or a good tutorial === dreamnid_ is now known as dreamnid [18:40] windmill: do you have the pulse applications installed? [18:40] i do have great problems logging into my account in a newly installed 8.04-1 anyone? [18:40] windmill: hold on, let me find out the name [18:41] can anyone help me what to type in "System mail host" field in postfix? [18:41] Slart, I haven't, what machine would run that? [18:41] <_Zeus_> !ask | m1oluf [18:41] m1oluf: 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. :-) [18:41] i've tried my isp's outgoing mail server but no luck =( [18:42] windmill: see if you can run "paprefs" [18:42] dreamnid_, I can play sound through pulse audio on the remote machine (where I run paplay on the remote machine) but not from one machine to another [18:43] dreamnid, on the client machine or the server machine? [18:43] hey whats up guys [18:43] windmill: on the server for starts [18:43] duncan-nz: well.. one that is always on.. at home I have one server, always running, that is dhcp server, dns server, router to internet, user files for me and my wife.. then we each have one desktop [18:43] Привет всем! [18:44] hey guys, how can i give write and excu rights to a new user i added? [18:44] g0tcha: chmod [18:44] g0tcha: I don't think you can give a user some kind of general execute and write rights [18:44] o.O? [18:44] g0tcha, maybe you want to further explain what you're trying to do? [18:44] Slart, why not? [18:44] Slart: maybe he thinks of admin rights? [18:45] ah.. [18:45] dreamedge, i want the user to b able to run commands like ./configure, make and so on withtout getting permission denied [18:45] sleeping [18:45] I currently have a process in the "Dl" state. How can I kill it? [18:45] how do I register as a Linux user? [18:45] g0tcha: because linux isn't designed like that.. you have to set it for each file.. or use groups.. [18:45] opt1k: mm.. that kind of makes sense [18:45] <_Zeus_> Kl4m: what is the dl state? [18:45] g0tcha, those commands should run as long as the user owns those files [18:46] dreamnid, how can i make the user own those files? i thought it was a permission problem [18:46] <_Zeus_> g0tcha: you can use chown to own files to a user [18:46] im just adding a test account to test something in it real quick [18:46] g0tcha, chown * [18:46] no sudo? ô_o [18:46] g0tcha: sorry "chown *" [18:46] g0tcha: if you're not familiar with chown: man chown [18:46] I'm trying to import users and passwords, how do I check what hash I'm using? CRYPT=`mkpasswd -H md5 $PASSWD` is working (users can't login) [18:46] <_Zeus_> g0tcha: depends [18:46] how do you left justify all the icons on the top panel? [18:47] g0tcha, if you're not running as the current owner, then yeah, you'll need sudo [18:47] how do I check my kernel version? [18:47] Hello, I have a cable connection to the internet and a wireless card as well. In network manager, how do I specify which one I want to use? [18:47] hi, burt [18:47] joakim uname -a [18:47] joakim: uname -a or uname -r [18:47] Slart, OK, it works. Thanks very much. [18:47] hi lolmac [18:47] do I have to share out a folder using sudo in the command line? I get an error when i try to do it in the GUI [18:47] I have a question for anyone, what is a good antivirus for ubuntu and how and where do I get it? [18:48] sudo aptitude install clamav [18:48] i want to put th error and output messages in separate files using on command.... how do i do that... like ls -l aaa.txt bbb.txt? [18:48] though in reality you don't need antivirus for linux [18:48] duncan-nz: you're welcome [18:48] how do I install clamav? [18:48] arc_, if you don't need to scan other people's file (like on a server), don't bother with an antivirus === abjdshfsd is now known as nixbox [18:48] hey guys, anyone any good with video encoding?? Ive got Core Pocket Media Player on my treo, im trying to encode some avi's i have with acidrip. It is working but the Core Pocket Media Player keeps complaining that it cannot play mpeg2? [18:48] arc_, either with the command line I just gave you, or via synaptic, or via add remove programs [18:49] grendal_prime, ffmpeg is your tool... [18:49] arc_, though I strongly suggest you consider why you think you need an antivirus in the first place [18:49] what settings do i need to set so that the avi does not use mpeg2..i though lavc would work(it reports its using mpeg4) [18:49] do I have to share out a folder using sudo in the command line? I get an error when i try to do it in the GUI [18:49] I thought it would be good to use an antivirus so I dont pass on anything to anyone [18:49] teharchitect: how are you trying to share in command line? [18:49] teharchitect, mind letting us know what the error is? [18:49] antivirus for peace of mind [18:50] arc_: could use clamav [18:50] iatuser667: is that a codec or an acutal app. because i really like acidrip. [18:50] I've just installed Ubuntu. I've Creative Modem Blaster PCIDI5663, where can I fing driver for that? [18:50] !clamav [18:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about clamav [18:50] or i've to buy a new external modem? [18:50] clamav rocks [18:50] clamav is what I want, how do I download it and install? [18:50] eps: well considering that Unix systems can still pass viruses onto Windows [18:50] Anyone know how to turn on a machine remotely with a magic packet sent to the network card? [18:50] arc_: it's in the repos [18:50] arc_, well that is kind of you :) ... how ever most virus types simply cannot be transfered by linux. so the chances of you passing on a virus unless you directly send a file to some one which is infected is very low, almost non existent [18:51] arc_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ClamAV [18:51] arc_, it's ok if you know that it's very unlikely that you get a virus on Ubuntu. ClamAV can scan individual files but no Linux antivirus has a "on-access scanner" mode [18:51] grendal_prime ffmpeg is both, it has its own mpeg4 codec and it can be used as a swiss army knife commandline converter [18:51] kitche, care to link to some supporting evidence for that? [18:51] grrr [18:51] eps: umm easy any email system [18:51] eps, arc_ : well.. if you have anything that shares files where windows computers are involved checking for viruses could be useful [18:51] grendal_prime, from dvd, handbrakegtk is a good tool [18:51] i think i will still be in the same situation with it..i just dont know enough about the setting envlolved with this. [18:51] kitche, that isn't supporting evidence, that is spreading FUD [18:52] hey, how do I get apt to only use debs stored offline (on an external drive)? [18:52] grendal_prime, try mpeg4 with aac [18:52] Slart, he isn't running a server, for him to spread a virus he would have to send a windows computer a virus on purpose and they would have to execute it. [18:52] Hello, how can I use the network manager to choose what NIC to use. It doesn't appear that I can disable say the wireless to use the wired connection. [18:52] hi, burt [18:52] Thanks! [18:52] grendal_prime, xvid with mp3 might be another obvious choice for something that will work [18:52] HELLO EVERYBODY. HOW ARE YOU? [18:52] hi, Aska [18:52] hi [18:52] hi, NeatFires [18:52] I am well Aska :) [18:52] armornick: check the system, administration, "software sources". Disable anything but that external drive [18:52] i have ubuntu hardy, and i cannot get phpmyadmin to work.. apt-get installs is but I cannot access it from apache... any ideas? [18:53] using kubuntu 8.04. I wonder if there's a way to make a custom key combination to do the same as the special "volume up/down" buttons. ie, display the OSD with the new volume and increase or decrease it [18:53] eps: yes, that seems reasonable... didn't know he wasn't sharing files [18:53] burt: wait, are you trying to tell it to use the wired connection? [18:53] I have a program in my /home directory that I am trying to create a shortcut to on my desktop but when I click the icon on the desktop, the program states that I'm missing files [18:53] iatuser667: ya thats what i tried last time. [18:53] I'm trying to import users and passwords, how do I check what hash I'm using? CRYPT=`mkpasswd -H md5 $PASSWD` is not working (users can't login) [18:53] dreamnid, yes [18:53] #ubuntu-br [18:53] where is my xorg.conf located? [18:53] burt: I think you can just click on the network icon in the upper right, and select wired connection, should be the first in the lsit [18:53] I was working on some notes; in text editor.. and my comp froze; and i had to restart .. is there any possible way to recover the file ? [18:53] also, if I have all debs (using downloaded repos) on a drive, and I doubleclick one of those debs, will it find the dependencies on the drive? [18:54] HI, is ther a program like itunes for Linux? [18:54] /etc/X11 [18:54] thanks [18:54] is where xorg.conf is [18:54] eps:not really unless you actually study Information security so you get a virus sent to you in an email then you send that email system on yes that is spread viruses [18:54] abchirk: rhythmbox? [18:54] do I have to share out a folder using sudo in the command line? I get an error when i try to do it in the GUI [18:54] could someone help me create a shortcut on the desktop [18:54] abchirk, do you mean to activate iphone? cause then, no [18:54] hi I am looking at some help for Ununtu please [18:54] Ubuntu [18:55] dreamnid, I only see "Enable Networking" I have configured my machine for a static address, so I think that option went away for some reason. [18:55] Gack22 just ask your question ;) [18:55] !ask Gack22 [18:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask gack22 [18:55] armornick no only playing [18:55] I need to install a VPN server in my Ubuntu Server wich is already running OpenVPN, please I need help!!!! [18:55] Ok i downloaded it and I am trying to figure out how to burn to cd but the instructions arent helping [18:55] !faq [18:55] A list of common questions and answers about Ubuntu: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions - Official documentation: http://help.ubuntu.com - IRC FAQ: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRCResourcePage [18:55] abchirk, if you use gnome, try rhythmbox, else amarok is good. [18:55] Slart, when my work place was testing linux (ubuntu) for integration in to our corporate network we were given a laundry list of possible vectors a linux computer could infect a windows computer via. excluding a server we found that it is _practically_ impossible for a windows vector virus to passively be transmitted via a standard ubuntu install. we also researched a rather large set of white papers on the topic that came to the same [18:55] conclusion. so realistically any one saying other wise without proof or support is spreading FUD. [18:55] Gack22: Are you on windows or linux when you wanna burn? [18:55] burt: you can always do "ifdown eth1" [18:55] armornick and can I use a program to update ipod? [18:55] I have a program in my /home directory that I am trying to create a shortcut to on my desktop but when I click the icon on the desktop, the program states that I'm missing files [18:55] windows vista [18:55] Pizarro: why do you need to isntall a VPN server if you already have OpenVPN [18:56] burt: not sure if that's ideal though [18:56] I am using EBOX but I GET errors while creating the certificates [18:56] Gack22: Check out imgburn [18:56] dreamnid, humm [18:56] where do i find that at? [18:56] kitche, it is already installed, but I don't know how to set up my users so they can login [18:56] abchirk, You could try wine with itunes, or support wine by purchasing crossover, which works perfectly with itunes [18:56] I am looking for clamav, how do I download and install using the terminal? [18:56] kitche, I mean, it's there, but now what? [18:56] ah ok thx :) [18:56] dreamnid, there must be some way if MS makes it easy. :) [18:57] arc_, have you tried sudo apt-get clamav [18:57] where is imgburn? [18:57] Pizarro: http://openvpn.net/index.php/documentation/howto.html [18:57] dreamnid, I know of to manually connect, but that is not fun. [18:57] hello all,i have a problem with midi file,I can play midi starting timidity without starting jack deamon first,doing the opposite raises this error:Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation... FAIL [18:57] hi, ydy === MurDoK is now known as MurDoK_ [18:57] its good that you are well. [18:58] burt: hmm, so can you explain again what you want to do again? I thought you just want to force to use the wired adapter? [18:58] i already editet the config file,am under ubuntu 8.10 [18:58] can someone please help me [18:58] sudo apt-get clamav in terminal says invalid operation, what do I do? [18:58] dreamnid, yes I want to use my wired adapter [18:58] arc_, sudo aptitude install clamav [18:58] How can be so complicated to set up a VPN server, while in other OS is very straighfoward!!! [18:58] or use the add/remove programs program under applications [18:59] arc_, if you still have trouble, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ClamAV [18:59] I already have ebox, but it throws me an error [18:59] can someone please help me [18:59] Pizarro, it is very simple to setup a vpn server under linux [18:59] dreamnid, there isn't a quick way to disable wireless or enable wired? [18:59] Gack22, not if we don't know the program [18:59] problem* [18:59] burt: not in the gui - like I said, I just do "ifdown " in command line [18:59] eps, well the stuff I am looking at is quite long, and also I have to modify things on my clients side!!! [18:59] I have downloaded Ubuntu and iso recorder and im trying to figure out how to burn it to a cd now [18:59] dreamnid, ok I will try it :) [19:00] eps: ah.. nice to know I won't infect my friends with anything nasty =) [19:00] eps, I have never modify anything on the client side when I set up vpn networks on Win [19:00] Gack22, if you are currently using windows consider asking for support in #windows ? [19:00] you will want to burn an image in whatever cd burning app you are using [19:00] only open source Slart :P [19:00] phat how do i do that [19:00] What about the theme? [19:00] depends on the app [19:00] what are you using to burn? [19:00] anyone know timidity? [19:00] i have a nvidia card 9400 or 9500 and a lcd monitor with max res of 1680x1050.... but i cant set my monitor to that resolution... what do i do? [19:01] what should i use to burn [19:01] eps, isn't there a faster way to do this? I already have OpenVPN installed and working === abjdshfsd is now known as nixbox [19:01] I can use toshiba burner [19:01] dreamnid, I get "ifdown interface eth0 not configured" [19:01] Pizarro, go here and follow from configuring openvpn https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNServer [19:02] it should take you a couple of minutes at most [19:02] well, typically if in windows you will use something like Nero to burn. I would hope that windoze has something built in to do it [19:02] eps, ok thanks, I will try and let you know [19:02] an .iso is simply an image. any disk burning software should be able to burn it [19:02] okay [19:02] burt: Which interface is your wireless though? [19:03] !burniso [19:03] To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [19:03] welp... you got the hardware... but you need some software to actually burn things [19:03] <`Matir> Is there any channel specifically for the discussion of LUKS/Cryptsetup/etc.? [19:03] Gack22, follow this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto#Windows [19:03] dreamnid, eth0 [19:03] typically you get software with yer burner unless you bought OEM [19:03] burt: really? THat's interesting [19:03] eps i tried I cant find the file Im looking for is my problem to add to the Cd [19:03] i listen to music. what a good musik. class! [19:03] i got question [19:03] join #ubuntustudio [19:04] Gack22, have you downloaded the ubuntu iso file? [19:04] has anyone here ever touched an asus nova lite ep20? [19:04] wizardslovak, what is your question? [19:04] yes took like 30 minutes [19:04] burt: probably the wireless is disabled then :? I'm not sure. Maybe check if the hardware wireless switch is on [19:04] is there different way to configure samba then smb.conf? maybe some gui === ikarus_ is now known as ostcar [19:04] burt: or you can check if you run "iwconfig" and see if the Tx power says off [19:04] Gack22: you actually open the iso and not add it to the cd [19:04] it comes with redflag linux, but as far as i can tell, asus just figures every user will replace it with xp [19:04] burt: but that is another way of forcing to use the wired connection [19:05] kitche how do i open it? [19:05] dreamnid, in Network manager, if I uncheck any interface it will be checked next time I look. === MurDoK_ is now known as MurDoK [19:05] yeah... an iso is a disk image.. usually to open it, you have to mount it somehow [19:05] Gack22: imgburn didn't work? [19:05] i asked about 5 times what is imgburn? [19:05] anyone with experience with likewise? I have it joining the domain via preseed.cfg over the network. The installer logs show it's sucessfully. domainjoin-cli query shows it's joined, AD shows it's joined, but I can't log in to the domain. If I leave and rejoin it works fine. Any ideas on why that would be? [19:06] hi, i'm trying to install openvpn-admin and it says i haven't got mono installed, but i've just installed mono-develop package from repos... [19:06] Gack22, PLEASE GO HERE AND FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto#Windows [19:06] eps I went there [19:06] Gack22: in your burner application just go to open file and it will ask you to burn it unless you use something like an isoburner, imgburn is an iso burning application all it does it burn isos [19:06] Okay, I need a little bit of help, how do I run a .sh file? I am trying to install TwonkyMedia and when I double click it, it opens gedit and says that the coding is wrong. [19:06] Gack22, go again. [19:06] it was confusing [19:06] Hello, did anyone make work remotejoy for PSP on Linux? [19:06] hi, clara2g [19:06] i am trying to set up samba on ubuntu server (ubuntu desktop) which is quest in virtualbox on suse host [19:06] Gack22: you know what.. I googled it.. guess what the first hit was? [19:06] Gack22, it is five simple steps. which step were you having issue with? [19:06] Hello [19:06] hi, clara2g [19:06] whats the news on firefox / mozilla? [19:07] unimatrix9, hopefully ubuntu gets a clue and moves to iceweasel :P [19:07] burt: don't really know much about that [19:07] unimatrix9: umm BBC [19:07] and says sorry to debian who they trolled about doing the same when they said this would happen :P [19:07] lets all turn to epiphany? [19:07] :) [19:07] eps: which iceweasel since debian's iceweasel is not gnu's [19:08] or maybe google chrome will save us all? [19:08] :P [19:08] kitche, either is fine. debians gets more love but both follow 'the spirit' of open source and don't have trade mark issues. [19:08] ok when i go to infrarecorder page it says webpage unavailble [19:08] unavailable [19:09] i have ubuntu hardy, and i cannot get phpmyadmin to work.. apt-get installs is but I cannot access it from apache... any ideas? [19:09] so i guess im having trouble with step 1 [19:09] Gack22, you know, if you had said that important bit awhile ago it really would have helped [19:09] im trying to edit my xorg.conf file however, everytime I try to open it as su via the terminal, nothing happends [19:09] anybody has any idea why? [19:09] hi, i'm trying to install openvpn-admin and it says i haven't got mono installed, but i've just installed mono-develop package from repos... [19:09] eps, but that is for a WIFI network, I need to setup a VPN server to allow XP computers to log remotle into my networks throught VPN [19:09] why is sourceforge down :( [19:09] rob__: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:09] nabil: what address do you tru to access? [19:09] try [19:09] Pizarro, and? [19:09] iatuser667: ya i figured it out. it was the container. I needed to use .avi and not mpg. kinda werid but hey whatever. [19:09] so I cant do anything then until that page comes back eps? [19:09] eps, that I can't configure client side [19:10] http://localhost/phpmyadmin [19:10] nabil: and what error do you have? [19:10] there is nothing in /var/www related to phpmyadmin [19:10] slart: I did that and nothing happens [19:10] eps: Sourceforge is working fine from here (Ontario, Canada) [19:10] Pizarro, still not seeing the issue here. you setup the openvpn server and the windows users connect to it [19:10] rob__: are you running regular ubuntu? [19:10] genii, Gack22 and myself are getting database errors [19:10] Slart: yes [19:10] The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server. [19:10] i know that apache is working [19:10] rob__: did you copy paste what I wrote? [19:11] eps, but the wiki you gave me is talking about setting client sides, and also when I restart the openserver it fails [19:11] I wanted to change all my media file associations from totem to xine... so I went through in nautilus and set for all the file types then removed totem.. now when I right click on a media file that totem used to be associated the property sheet errors and is looking for totem... anyone know where I can change this? [19:11] slart yes [19:11] and i also know what mysql is running [19:11] rob__: what happens if you just write "gedit" ? [19:11] Okey, it's not Ubuntu question, but is there any german? [19:11] Abracadabra HI, WHO ARE YOU?can you tell me? [19:11] slart: gedit opends [19:11] Pizarro, that is only if you wish to setup the openvpn client on your computer. the windows computers will be using their own vpn clients. [19:11] although, i have no idea how to configure apache.. [19:12] rob__: try "gksudo gedit" [19:12] eps thanks for your help I will keep trying until that page works [19:12] eps, I understand [19:12] perhaps some configuration realated to apache [19:12] what is the best program to use to host mutiple vps on my server [19:12] ? [19:12] rob__: you'll have to type in your user password [19:12] tech [19:12] slart: nothing happends when i run that command. It doesn't prompt me for my pw either [19:12] nabil: no reason. phpmyadmin works out of the box [19:12] the community docs for ubuntu and phpmyadmin has tested it on the older versions of ubuntu [19:13] nabil: you installed from synaptic? [19:13] rob__: close the terminal you're using and start a new one === platyhelminth is now known as platyhelminthh [19:13] rob__: and try "gksudo gedit" in the new one [19:13] Gack22, http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm download this application for your version of windows. install it. once it is installed find your ubuntu iso and right click on it and choose the option 'copy image to cd' [19:13] meh [19:13] eps, how can I make a file executable? [19:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin [19:13] Pizarro, chmod +x filename [19:13] sp3 takes so long to freakin load [19:13] i used aptitude [19:13] slart: still nothing [19:13] also tried apt-get [19:13] Hello! Help me please I need partitioning scheme for that function: mysql, web server (~5-10 domains)+many photos () [19:13] nothing works [19:13] hi, Vladimir[LV] [19:13] from terminal type chmod 700 [19:14] ohh [19:14] nabil: sudo apt-get install --reinstall phpmyadmin [19:14] nabil, what error do you get when you go to localhost/phpmyadmin ? === abjdshfsd is now known as nixbox [19:14] The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server. [19:14] thats the error [19:14] lolmac: where i need to store photos? in /home or in /var? [19:14] or chmod 500 if you don't need write acess to it [19:14] phatjeebus, or, never do that. [19:14] rob__: that's very strange.. [19:14] Im having a problem :( I checked out the wiki and it wasn't much help.....Im trying to share out a folder for my windows machines to access but im getting an error about I don't have permission [19:14] apache doesn't recongnize phpmyadmin [19:14] lolmac: my all domains will be in /var/www/.. [19:14] slart: yah, do you have any other suggestion, or am i on my own? [19:14] Vladimir [19:14] Vladimir[LV] [19:14] i am still getting fail during the openvpn server restart [19:15] i think in /home [19:15] nabil, then it is most likely that it isn't recognising php... does your browser try to download a file when you go to that address like index.php? [19:15] lolmac: i will can create link to /home/user/photos in /var/www/domain.com? [19:15] Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "/ on www.davidparkinson.com": Could not connect to host ... though if i open it from places => server ... it opens in firefox??? wtf? [19:15] let me check.. hold on.. [19:15] lolmac: i have mirracle with 2 HDD sata 320gb [19:15] Vladimir, yes you can using symbolic links [19:15] cool =) [19:15] thanks [19:16] some thing like ln -s /home/user/photos /var/www/domain.com/photos [19:16] eps, lolmac: how many space i need for /var? [19:16] eps, lolmac: 10gb - good? [19:16] the syntax is ln -s see man ln for more information [19:17] hey guys can some one please help me ..i ran ..this script from a guy on here to set up my iptables and it crashed my system could someone help me ;http://paste.ubuntu.com/47530/ [19:17] Vladimir, why will you need space? I don't understand [19:17] after locking the screen, i can't get back in with the correct password. what could be going wrong there? [19:17] Im having a problem :( I checked out the wiki and it wasn't much help.....Im trying to share out a folder for my windows machines to access but im getting an error about I don't have permission [19:17] i have a nvidia card 9400 or 9500 and a lcd monitor with max res of 1680x1050.... but i cant set my monitor to that resolution... what do i do? [19:17] onx, capslock? [19:18] eps: there (in var) will be my all domains and all php scripts [19:18] cheek1, mmm nothing jumps out as wrong in that. what isn't working about it? [19:18] aka cms'ez [19:18] OK, PHP works fine.. i also reinstalled phpmyadmin using the above command, still the same.. any other ideas?? [19:18] eps, no. the password is definitely correct [19:18] arooni: setup a correct xorg.conf [19:18] <^A^kira> i have atheros wifi card in my laptop, it worked fine till yesterday. Right now i can see wifi networks around me but knetworkmanager stucks at 28% "configuring network devoce". from console i just cant get IP.... ideas? [19:18] eps, I followed everything on the wiki but the server fails when restarting [19:18] Vladimir, ah okay. I'm not really sure what you will be putting in there but I personally have a lot in my /var/www and it has 10 gig available to it [19:18] I downloaded clamav from the repositorie and now how do I install? [19:18] though note that symbolic links are like short cuts under windows so your data will still be stored in /home [19:18] eps: 10 gig - your /var total space? [19:18] blue-frog, eps: any more clues? [19:18] arc_, it is installed [19:19] can only get back in if i click "log on other user" and go from there. so i'm suspecting the screensaver app, but how to debug that? [19:19] eps, and this is WIFI, not the same, is for an internal network, but want clients comming for outside [19:19] jim_p, ok but how [19:19] how do I know it is installed and then how do I use it, and update it? [19:19] arc_: why did you download clamav? [19:19] test [19:19] <^A^kira> ? [19:20] I dont even know if I downloaded it successfully [19:20] nabil: no. if you tweaked apache before installing phpmyadmin, undo what you have done. phpmydamin works fine out of synaptic on hardy [19:20] arc_: why do you want clamav? [19:20] Pizarro, hurr. maybe you should read a guide on how vpns work and how to set them up in general so you understand what you are doing. without knowing your network topography I cannot help you further (and I usually charge if I do go further) [19:20] I want clamav for peace of mind [19:20] eps: ok .. first after he told me to chmod it and run the script .. he told me to see if itloaded the setting by typing iptables -L and it did load .. upthen he told me to test my box .. by pinging it .. and i did .. he told it wasnt supposed to to ping ..coz my box was supposed to be secure .. so ..then he told me to flush my tables .. and i did.. and then everything just froze..on my computer .. [19:20] slart: how weird, I restarted and now gksudo gedit is working fine [19:20] arc_, it did, other wise you would have gotten an error [19:20] ping ASh33 [19:20] eps: ok, that scheme: system - 15gb, swap - 2gb, /var - 10gb, /home - all other space [19:20] eps: good? [19:20] rob__: hmm.. it's such an undignified solution.. but if it works, it's all good with me =) [19:21] Hey guys Im looking for a program that I can drag and drop a wmv or avi and then burn the movie as dd [19:21] arc_: at the moment you really don't need a virus scanner with Linux unless you are say emailing attachments to loads of Windows users that you have downloaded from some site say [19:21] where do I see clamav on my computer, I am use to Norton on windows, is it nothing like that? [19:21] arooni: there is loads you must do [19:21] arc_: and Norton sucks [19:21] eps: mm.. a well need /tmp and /usr? [19:21] I'll give up, I move to Xp, sorry [19:21] this is a waste of time [19:21] cheek1, what are you trying to secure the computer against? is it a server or your home computer? [19:21] lol, Norton does as well as Vista, that is why I switched to Ubuntu [19:21] to make something you need 1 week [19:21] do you REALLY need an antivirus/ [19:22] software is to make live easy not backwoards [19:22] xp is a waste of time [19:22] I am new to Ubuntu and am trying to learn it [19:22] ? [19:22] pizarro did you ever think your #bad? [19:22] hi [19:22] hi, MIPC4 [19:22] ANy good video burning software out there ? [19:22] Vladimir, I often find it easiest to have a / partition of 10-15 gig, and a /home partition with the rest of the space. that is for a home computer though [19:22] I probably do not need clamav do I? [19:22] :P [19:22] teharchitect, what? [19:22] jim_p, but i dont know how [19:22] i use f-prot only to scan some files [19:22] is Linux safer then Windows? [19:22] there is a learning curve to anything you do [19:22] it's not a waste of time...you just have to get used to it [19:22] para español? [19:22] in your spare time [19:22] !es | MIPC4 [19:22] MIPC4: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [19:22] can anyone give me a different chat client to pidgin ? [19:22] arc_: ...by leaps and bounds [19:22] is there a ftp program that works with linux? [19:23] with gui [19:23] eps: its my dsktop..i just wanna learn and see how it works [19:23] teharchitect, I am very likly ignorant, but it suposed that people should start movingo to Linux, however linux doesn'0t make us live easy to do so [19:23] Slart thanks :) [19:23] arooni: many.. gftp is one [19:23] milostrife, what chat networks to you usually use? [19:23] !info gftp [19:23] gftp (source: gftp): X/GTK+ FTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.18-17ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 45 kB, installed size 76 kB [19:23] arc_, absolutely yes. [19:23] arooni: ftp client? [19:23] yes linux is safer than windows generally if for no other reason than most viruses are made for windows and simply will no execute in any linux/bsd environment [19:23] Pizarro: for people who only used mac or linux, moving to windows is difficult [19:23] arc_, assuming you're not a complete idiot who is trying to ruin your system. [19:23] eps, what mean im useing pidgin for me msn account but im finding viewing webcams a problem. [19:24] is it possible to reinstall ubuntu but keep all settings and previously installed apps? [19:24] Pizarro: Linux/ubuntu isn't harder than windows.. but most people already have years of experience with windows and expect to pick up linux/ubuntu in a week and be as proficient as they were with windows [19:24] cheek1, to be honest it is pretty late where I am (4am :( ) and I'm a bit to tired to get in to IP tables with you. there are some great guides on the net that you may find interesting (or helpful) by searching google or wikipedia. [19:24] teharchitect, and in a working day I can0t afford to lose a whole day to set up a stupid VPN server, which is very easy to setup in XP or mwhatever [19:24] blue-frog, but getting easier all the time. It's also hard moving from mac to windows. [19:24] I may be a complete idiot I paid $50.00 for norton and still had problems [19:24] geez sp3 takes a while to load in this vm, heh [19:24] Pizarro: but that's just an opinion.. [19:24] arc_: you don't need a virus scanner in Linux at the moment, and Norton sucks yes [19:24] Pizarro: Ubuntu comes with openvpn [19:24] eps: it will be a server [19:24] cheek1, if you want to get rid of the issues that have been caused delete the script he gave you (or make it not executable so you can try again later via chmod -x filename ) and reboot [19:24] eps: with social network site [19:24] milostrife, I think amsn supports webcams. I don't think pidgin does. [19:24] cheek1, every reboot cleans the ip tables [19:25] eps: and some other sites [19:25] benjick, I know, but whot o make it to work!!!!!! I spent a day on it [19:25] arc_: basically there are no main streame viruses for Linux at the moment, and if they were you would actsaully have to know what you are doing to install them, unlike Windows [19:25] Im also and Idiot because I have not found a way to return my copy of vista pre installed on my computer that I do not even use [19:25] eps: with many photos and files.. [19:25] eps: thnks man [19:25] Pizarro: Are you commanding me? :P [19:25] cheek1, any time [19:25] benjick, no it's jus a was of speaking, I am spanish === LivingDead is now known as Ejlan [19:25] benjick, but it is supossed to be easy, but HOW? [19:26] arc_: have you accepted the EULA when you started the computer? [19:26] Pizarro: System -> prefs -> remote desktop :P [19:26] arc_, that's because you can't. It comes with the hardware as part of an agrement between microsoft and the hardware manufacturer. [19:26] can some one name me a good data recovery software for ubuntu [19:26] Ejlan: testdisk is one.. don't know if you'll call it good though [19:26] benjick, well that's not VPN, and also, I am not on a desktop, I am on ubuntu server, consolo XD [19:26] Vladimir, then it is up to you. realistically if you give root plenty of space and home and var plenty of space you wont run in to many issues...any issues you do run in to should be easy to fix. so play around with it and find what works best for you. [19:26] Pizarro: OH, sorry, was thinking vnc, i'm tired [19:26] so in other words, Microsoft is a Monopoly after all? [19:26] VPN is note remote desktop connection boys [19:27] Ejlan, what state is the data in? [19:27] I know [19:27] eps: on it will be: mysql, mail server, web server, php, ftp server, some firewalls and anti spam for mail.. [19:27] I'm tired [19:27] I want remote computers to log into my network [19:27] How do I get my mouse to scroll right. Physically scrolling works, but the tap scroll, move mouse up/down to scroll, tap scroll to unlock is not working. [19:27] and IN XP is very easy to setup [19:27] i just removed all files on the wrong drive [19:27] Should I run a Firewall with Ubuntu? [19:27] .. [19:27] Pizarro: http://www.thebakershome.net/?q=node/56 [19:27] Ejlan: ext3? xfs? ext2? [19:27] ntfs [19:27] arc_: Try firestarter, easy to use and really neat [19:27] arc_, see here http://tuxmobil.org/ms_tax.html [19:27] eps: oh, ill can fix space in working machine? (repartitioning) [19:27] arc_: you can't just re turn a copy of Vista that is pre installed. do you have a router? [19:27] Vladimir, personally I would then have root as 10-15, var as 10-15, and the rest of your hdd in home - and store your files in home [19:28] Vladimir, if you have physical access I believe gparted makes resizing partitions easy as [19:28] Is there a simple way to jail a ssh user into a directory ? [19:28] eps ok, but i need some directories, as /usr or /tmp ? [19:28] Ejlan: then you might want to get some kind of windows tool.. ntfs and linux is good enough for general use.. but there aren't that many tools available yet for it [19:28] I give up, sorry [19:28] Pizarro, if you need something stable, high availability, and pretty secure, use linux... if you need something fast, use windows... thing is linux is more complicated than windows but you end up with a better product at the end. Another option is get the VPN running in XP or whatever so people can use it... then take the time to learn how to configure openvpn in linux... just a thought [19:28] but I was forced to [19:28] thanks for all [19:28] Vladimir, if you don't specificy those directories they will just be put on the root partition and you wont have to worry about them [19:28] this time XP: 1 Linux:0 , at least for me, I cant waste mor time [19:29] arc_, you don't really need to do anything to improve security. Just run it. The firewall is built in. But if you want to add more configuration you can install firestarter. [19:29] eps: oh cool x) thank you very much [19:29] Pizarro, no, your inexperience is 1 and your enlightenment is 0 [19:29] arc_: you should also have a routher firewall turned on or some other sort of hardware firewall [19:29] router [19:29] Pizarro: Then don't :P [19:29] Please, is there a simple way to jail a ssh user into a directory ? [19:29] eps: i will have physical and virtuall access :) [19:29] blue112: rbash or ibsh [19:29] Pizarro: ok, sorry to hear it didn't work out for you.. hope you make it work with whatever software you end up chosing [19:29] eps, yes of course, but you forget that in the real world, the time is gold, and that's why I cant waste 4 days traying to set upa a network [19:30] they make openvpn for windows too :) [19:30] benjick: that applications are simple to configure ? [19:30] Vladimir[LV], then just go for it. nothing stopping you backing up all the data and starting again if it all stuffs up in to a huge mess! it's more fun that way anyway [19:30] flash video in firefox plays with a lower volume than everything else. how can i turn that up? [19:30] eps: but i will can resize partitions without turning on my machine? [19:30] Slart, thank you [19:30] The thing is, i linked you a step by step tutorial Pizarro; and you didn't even bother to look [19:30] Pizarro, you mean the real world where I do this for a living? and that the term 'only a poor tradesman blames his tools' is very real?

Welcome! [19:32] however no firewall is turned on when it is first installed (worstation) because there are no services listening [19:32] at least that was my understanding [19:32] Pizarro, that is their concern. I'm happy making a living off an ignorant world, it pays well. :D [19:32] how do i can active mode monitor on ndswipper "I have some problem with aircrack-ng and that option" [19:33] eps, you right, I have to learn, however there are some toolls that even ignorant like me can make a vpn server to work, which is what the real companies are looking for: quick and easy to start working in the real buisness [19:33] X_o, good question, I wouldn't mind knowing that myself [19:33] thank you [19:33] Pizarro, no, real companies care about security, and people who use push button tools to set things up rarely understand the security risks they are introducing. [19:34] that goes for any OS [19:34] i read if u are using files from windows u can't actived [19:34] Is it posible to install any package manager on any operating system? Instal apt on perdus?

[19:42] am having trouble shutting down with hardy can anybody help/ - I'm new to the chat. After selecting the shut down option the screen goes blank but computer still runs - only way to turn off is rebott into windows, then shut down. [19:42] blue112: No, sorry [19:44] I'm having this problem where I can't telnet to certain ports, yet nmap lists them as open. Why would that be? [19:44] fwiw solved my problem logging back in from locked screen, wrong file permissions on /sbin/unix_checkpwd [19:44] vince_, there is no need to reboot in to windows when that happens. simply turn the computer off. though that is a bit odd that it is happening [19:44] just because a port is open doesn't mean you can telnet to it [19:44] onx, argh I should have thought about that. [19:44] could any of you guys recommend a good place for me to learn about web page layouts and browser incompatibility problems?

[20:16] the console show me that doesnt exists the file -p0 [20:16] lorsadmin: 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' [20:16] vince_: have a nice...(day or night.. whatever it is)... [20:16] erusul thanks i will try that [20:16] nikson: usually you do "patch -p0 < filename.patch" [20:17] yes [20:17] I have an https site that warns users that the site is insecure because the certificate is invalid - do I need to purchase an ssl certificate or should I be able to generate my own [20:17] in this case patch –p0 < via-chrome9-drm.patch-2.6.2 [20:17] but it doesnt work [20:18] hello [20:18] hi, Phreaks [20:18] hi [20:18] hi, RomanaMentalis [20:18] erUSUL i got a different error now, http://paste.ubuntu.com/47545/ [20:18] if you own the site.. you should be able to generate your own [20:18] nikson: is the via-chrome9-drm.patch-2.6.2 file on the current directory?? if not you have to provide the full path [20:18] i'm having compact flash [20:18] and when ever i try to mount it [20:18] i have installed ubuntu on a macbook now. It only boots osx though.. how can i boot ubuntu? I installed refit from their page but it does not start any bootloader and there is no way to see if it works.. ? [20:18] it says bad superblock [20:19] of filesystem [20:19] boot camp? [20:19] the file system in JFS [20:19] yes it is! but that have problems with -p0 [20:19] using the terminal I turned on a firewall, now my download has stopped, how do I turn off the firewall? [20:19] hi [20:19] arc_, firestarter [20:19] lorsadmin: dunno sorry [20:19] hi, Phreaks [20:19] lol:) [20:19] so any one here :D [20:19] arc_: how you turned on your firewall? [20:20] erusul thanks [20:20] RomanaMentalis, if you generate your own your users will still get a warning saying that the certificate cannot be validated (or what it says when an issuer is unknown) [20:20] what is the command in the terminal to enable and disable the firewall? [20:20] arc_: are you using firestarter? [20:20] arc_: depends on the firewall utility you use [20:21] It is the default firewall I do not know but I type in enable and disable but I do not remember what else I typed [20:21] i have compact flash , when i try to mount it says bad superblock of filesystem . its file system JFS , any ideas ;) [20:21] pff [20:21] does anyone know a good utility to batch edit exif data? [20:22] i'd rather have a GUI, but i'd take CLI too [20:22] hi everyone [20:22] Hello, how do i install the latest version of vlc (0.9.2 http://www.videolan.org/) in hardy. It is not in the repository? [20:22] hi, nicudotro [20:23] think its in the repository [20:23] sudo apt-get install vlc [20:23] R4kk00n so I have to buy one to get rid of that warning. Will the basic model at godaddyssl.com do the trick? [20:23] i did that [20:23] https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/ssl/ssl.asp?se=%2B&ci=271 [20:23] that's what I'm looking at [20:24] what happened? [20:24] I got GRUB Error 17. When trying to restore the MBR through a live CD with "root (hd0,1)" it tells me the disk does not exist. When I do fdisk /dev/sda, it also tells me the drive cannot be found. But when I click on Computer on the liveCD, it still lists all my partitions. How can I get /dev/sda to be recognized again? [20:24] i have VLC media player 0.8.6e [20:24] arc_: sudo iptables --flush; sudo iptables-save [20:24] 092 is joust out now [20:24] 092 is just out now [20:25] ahh i got ya [20:25] see here http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ [20:25] i want to install a meta-package but it has a typo in it making it require a non-existent package. is there a way i can see everything it wants to install so i can manually install everything except the typoed package? [20:25] well, let's see [20:26] since i just noticed i have an earlier version too, haha [20:26] i'm trying to compile a driver for my onboard NIC and I'm getting an error: "no rule to make target: /src/Makefile" .... complete error text: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47546/ [20:26] irc://irc.freenode.net/roundcube [20:26] nicudotro: Ubuntu does not routinely upgrade packages after a release has happened, although this may make it into backports if there is enough demand. /msg ubottu backports for more info [20:26] arc_: this is maximum to clear your kernel firewall settings.. if it not works.. then it defenately not a firewall problem.. [20:26] tmcookies: Please don't advertise channels here, this is a place for support. [20:27] How to upgrade this? The following packages have been kept back: openssh-client openssh-server 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. === D_R_P is now known as D_ReaL_PuNiShEr [20:27] nicudotro: did you try going into synaptic package manager and enabling multiverse repository... then try an update [20:27] genius: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [20:27] yes i did that [20:27] if that doesnt work... you probably have to install from source.. i'm gonna try it now [20:27] oh, did it work? [20:27] nope [20:28] nicudotro: 0.9.2 is not even in Intrepid yet. [20:28] ok [20:28] i'll try to install form source [20:28] I need a samba expert for a very weird problem. any takers? [20:29] wow it's quiet in here.... [20:29] how do I "pin" the newest, manually installed kvirc so that Ubuntu will not automatically try to downgrade it? [20:30] I only use Samba for the most basic things to avoid those weird problems [20:30] believe me, it has lots of those [20:30] there is a logic behind it, but I do not have the time to figure it out [20:32] and there aren't enough people with linux in the whole world so that anyone would ever document it in a simple and understandable form [20:32] I can't get Samba to log me in!!! Somebody, please help!!! [20:32] there are even less people for ever designing it in a way that would make it simple, powerful and understandable [20:33] elexodus: I'm looking for samba help too, if anyone speaks up I'll pass them on to you [20:33] usually #ubuntu is WAY more active than this [20:33] I'm frankly shocked, 1432 people and only 4 are talking [20:33] Mecha25: I wonder about it a bit too [20:33] one sec, I have an idea [20:33] some of us are working [20:33] I can't get Samba to log me in!!! I get the login screen on my Vista box while mapping the drive, but "server/uname" (HappyTrees/elexodus) and my password (same as ubuntu login) don't work.Somebody, please help!!! [20:34] Mecha25: what's your problem [20:34] goodnight boys and girls [20:34] you need to set up separate samba passwords with smbpasswd instead of passwd [20:34] elexodus: with samba, I can mount, explore, read, and mess with any server on the samba network, but I can't browse the servers, or shares on a given server [20:35] it's so weird, they're there, samba works great, it just flat out refuses to browse multiple servers [20:35] Tarandus: I have. I just elected to use the same password and username. === aho_ is now known as orifice_ [20:35] you don't need Server/uname [20:35] I solved half of my Samba problems by not doing anything complicated... and I solved the another half by using a Mac... now flame me, I will smile because it was worth it =) [20:35] just username [20:36] mine's simple, samba works amazingly well, it's just something about my network makes both Windows and Linux versions of samba very very hesitant to browse [20:36] Mecha25: I have no clue [20:36] elexodus: well, then, try smbpasswd and give it your login password [20:36] both can log me in and share files fine, maybe the network's just too big. It's my college, around 600 samba servers available at any one time [20:37] Tarandus: Failed to find entry for user root. [20:37] Mecha25: I can browse 2000 servers at my workplace [20:37] Tarandus: Failed to find entry for user root. [20:37] must be nice... [20:37] elexodus: sudo smbpasswd elexodus [20:38] elexodus, you need to change your samba password setups, System, Administration Samba [20:38] it might not be available by default, if not right click and edit your menu to enable it [20:38] elexodus: I mean, there is no limit inbuilt in Samba that would prevent one from browsing big networks [20:38] I used to be able to do it, although it never worked reliably on either windows or linux. My roommate's mac refuses to browse either, but connects just fine [20:38] it might be something wrong with the network [20:40] Why does 8.04 crash every time I try to logout or shut down with any windows open? Through any means. The Gnome Panel and WM go unresponsive and I have to shut down the computer by holding in the power button. [20:40] eh, I'll see if I can get vista to do it, if I can't then it's a problem with the network [20:40] elexodus: First make sure samba is actually installed. Since it's not usually be default, only the smbclient. [20:40] Mecha25: Screenshot [20:40] Dunas, it only does this when you have programs open [20:40] ? [20:40] Mecha25: http://i38.tinypic.com/1znmr2q.png sorry [20:41] Mecha25: Yes. :x I've tried once without programs, worked flawlessly. [20:41] genii: how would I do that? [20:41] Dunas, are you using Compiz? [20:41] elexodus: genii's right, you need to install it [20:41] elexodus: apt-cache policy samba if no *** beside one of the versions available, it's simply not installed [20:42] samba's set up weird by default, usually it works, but when it doesn't you have to install the config utilities before fixing it [20:42] Mecha25: No, not using Compiz. [20:42] how can i tell if i'm on i386 or amd64? [20:43] Dunas: weird... try it again with no programs open, it must be something to do with the window manager not closing properly [20:43] genii, mecha25: looks installed to me http://i37.tinypic.com/6t3bck.png [20:43] When I set user's shell to ibsh, he can't connect by ftp anymore >_< [20:43] although it really shouldn't matter what you have open, unless you have some system-critical app up [20:43] mark my words... 10 years from now, these things with samba will not be the least bit more understandable... it is only possible that samba might have died by then and been replaced with something more workable [20:44] Mecha25, usually Firefox with Flash 9 and Java plugins enabled, aMSN, Pidgin, and occasionally OpenOffice. [20:44] but, anyway, good night now [20:44] is nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new .... the same thing as dloading the binary drivers from nvidia? [20:44] how can i tell if i'm on i386 or amd64? [20:44] is there a console command? [20:44] :p which is ubuntu ipod software? [20:44] Samba acutally isn't designed to work within itself, it's designed to work with windows networks, which have their own problems we have no way to mess with [20:44] pyrak: uname -a [20:44] aMSN might be it, or flash [20:44] Tarandus: Thanks for the help. [20:45] ValentineX: either Hipo or gtkPod [20:45] Mecha25: Well, that's odd. Maybe try it with an aMSN alternative. [20:45] ValentineX: or Amarok, Rhythmbox, or Banshee [20:45] Dunas: Pidgin can do MSN [20:45] Mecha25: sudo apt-get install amarok? [20:45] ValentineX: you have rhythmbox, right? [20:45] Mecha25: In my experience, not very well- and it likes to crash itself on multiple occasions. [20:46] Mecha25: Amarok is great. [20:46] Dunas: really? just chatting? [20:46] Mecha25: yup but I don't like that I want to try others [20:46] elexodus: yeah... but it's Kubuntu, and I really don't like its media library browser [20:46] Mecha25: ahhh [20:46] Mecha25: any other suggestions for the Samba issue? [20:47] ValentineX: try Amarok, it's good, or if you want to get the latest version of Banshee (not the one in the repositories) then I'd recommend that, Banshee 1.2.1 is what I use [20:47] elexodus: you manually type in that login info? [20:47] Mecha25: on the Vista box or the command [20:47] ? [20:47] elexodus: the login from ubuntu onto the vista box [20:48] Mecha25: Yup. The annoying thing is that there's no terminal output when run in terminal. It just... vanishes. [20:48] Dunas: weird, really weird. Grab a Yahoo account, it interfaces with MSN I think [20:48] Mecha25: yes. "Username: HappyTrees/elexodus Password: *******" [20:48] Dunas: or to solve your shutdown problem, try shutting down with one window open, then 2, then more until you find the one that breaks it [20:49] elexodus: that's your issue [20:49] Mecha25: I got banshee in repos [20:49] elexodus: you don't need the HappyTrees/ [20:49] elexodus: Yup, it's installed. Does: ps aux | grep smbd show it as running? [20:49] hello [20:49] ValentineX: that's the old version, it's awful [20:49] hi, SliMM [20:49] ValentineX: you can get the instructions for switching to the new one here: http://www.banshee.org [20:50] hi evreone [20:50] Mecha25: after install some software how to uninstall? sudo removeall name? [20:50] is there a way to access an external storage device by an id instead of using the mount point in the filesystem? [20:50] ValentineX: sudo apt-get remove name [20:50] small question i've got ubuntu 5.10 running fine currently hoiwever i want to try xubuntu 8.04 will it run on 266mx p2 w/mmx 128mb memory? [20:50] Mecha25: I also tried "192.168.0.8/elexodus" Vista does the server/uname automatically [20:50] genii: http://i37.tinypic.com/dcx11u.png [20:50] rich1987: Unfortunately probably not [20:50] rich1987: download the liveCD and try it out [20:50] i want connect vpn anyone can help? [20:50] 7.10 maybe? [20:50] Mecha25: The livecd needs at least 256 [20:51] when I boot into Ubuntu [20:51] elexodus: you don't need anything, just "elexodus" and your password [20:51] Mecha25: banshee.org >>This domain is currently Under Construction. [20:51] from a CD [20:51] elexodus: Reading [20:51] to install [20:51] It doesn't start [20:51] genii: then it won't go probably [20:51] It just stops on a brown screen [20:51] How do I manually uninstall nVidia drivers? [20:51] sorry [20:51] before i ask my question does anybody understand from ettercap and can help me? [20:51] From a command line [20:51] hey is there an easy way to find out what type ram (PC2-5300 etc etc) I've got in my computer? [20:51] ValentineX: I'll find the link in a second [20:51] hello i just installed ubuntueee on my eee pc but how do i know the pc is overcloked? cant find anything on the system about that it should been overclocked and in ubuntueee version it shuld do it automatic and the a popup should come up but i got nothing ? [20:51] hi, jb__ [20:51] Mecha25: I have 7.10 running on 128Mb p2 400 system. But it almost entirely runs from swap [20:52] genii: wow [20:52] thomc: lshw [20:52] How can you tell if you installed the correct nvidia video driver [20:52] lolmac, hi [20:52] hi i'm trying to transfer a file to another computer [20:52] however it is several gig big [20:52] elexodus: Ok. Try command: testparm to see if our samba configuration file has any obvious errors [20:52] i can`t fix this problem which show me ot ettercap ERROR : 19, No such device [20:52] [ec_capture.c:capture_init:146] [20:52] pcap_open: SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device [20:52] ValentineX: http://banshee-project.org/ [20:52] can i try something with a network [20:52] benjick that only gives me the size [20:52] fenrig: FTP [20:52] thanks though [20:52] thomc: You sure? [20:53] genii: how good does it run [20:53] benjick yes [20:53] somebody to help me [20:53] benjick: how do i set it up? [20:53] does vsftpd need 2 ports at all times? [20:53] i am trying to get the geforce 9400gt or 9500gt to work on ubuntu hardy..... i tried dloading nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new packages.... no dice. then i tried dloading driver from nvidias site and compiling it... but got an error that it was "Unable to load kernel module "nvidia.ko" .... happens frequently when module is built against wrong or improperly configured kernel sources)..... any ideas? [20:53] I have a problem with my boot.... Sometimes ubuntu will boot and the screen freeze on the msg "Kernel Alive", i disable the splash screen and the system freeze with this msg "looking for DSDT in initramfs... error file /DSDT.aml not found."... But sometimes the system load normal... any idea? (im newbie) [20:53] Mecha25: Doesn't work. Login fails, and Vista auto-adds "[the name of the Vistabox]\elexodus" to the uname. [20:53] let me put it this way, I want a symbolic link to a folder on an external device; is there a way to make the link work even if that particular device is mounted under another mount point at a later time? [20:53] fenrig: Install proftpd from apt-get and log in with a username that exist at the computer [20:54] thomc: Can i pm you? [20:54] Hello? [20:54] elexodus: one sec, I'll try it on my end [20:54] hi, rwg [20:54] thomc: Oh, nvm [20:54] I can't boot Ubuntu [20:54] hello [20:54] It loads [20:54] hi, sereus [20:54] hi [20:54] but then stops [20:54] hi, Prose [20:54] b3lorixx: if you have the wrong driver, the hardware will not work, and you will probably see a "restricted driver" icon by the clock. [20:54] right when it goes to the screen before starting the desktop [20:54] It's a light brown screen [20:54] all I can see is the mouse pointer [20:55] lolmac: heh, actually I was answering the other dudes says hi :P [20:55] is ubuntu+1 for ALL buntu interpids? [20:55] genii: how good does it run? [20:55] genii: http://pastebin.ca/1204686 [20:55] benjick: uhm yeah i installed that but what now :s [20:55] That now. [20:55] Saiki: maybe #kubuntu+1 for kde version but I'm not sure.. [20:56] Scunizi: well, I'm thinking Xubuntu, so yea... [20:56] lol [20:56] elexodus: it works for me, sorta. try going into Nautilus (file browser) and entering smb://SERVERNAME/SHARE into the address bar [20:56] #ubuntu+1 is for all buntus [20:56] Saiki: nope.. no kubuntu+1.. I'd stick with #ubuntu+1 .. [20:57] rich1987: How good does what run? The testparm program? [20:57] screensaver defaulting to blank on battery power seems to be an intended feature. how do i turn it off, i.e. waste my battery on it just because it looks nice? [20:57] elexodus: Reading [20:57] there's only 1 seed for xubuntu int. *grumbles* and my xubuntu klunked out my Linux partion [20:57] onx: that's not default, I wish it was [20:57] oh wait [20:57] genii: no the computers overall performance [20:58] onx: wow, you're right, that's cool, I'm turning my screensaver back on now. I'm not sure how to change that, somewhere in gconf I think [20:59] mecha25: nah. smb://192.168.0.6/Shared won't connect. The share folder I want to connect to is on the machine I am using.I'm trying to map the Ubuntu server drive onto the Vista box. [20:59] Hello? [20:59] hi, elethant [20:59] rich1987: The old p2 400 runs like a freaking dog because it has only 128Mb. So it almost entirely keeps running from swap space and using the hd [20:59] (thx) [20:59] OH! [21:00] trying to mount an ext2-formatted SD card (in a USB adapter) as read/write [21:00] elexodus: gotcha, alright, I was going the other way around [21:00] genii: hmm... i'll try the live cd then and see how it goes === D_R_P is now known as D_ReaL_PuNiShEr [21:00] elexodus: Hmm. According to the dump of your smb.conf file, you don't have any shares defined. That could be a large part of the problem [21:00] bye [21:00] Mecha25: that's fine, I figured. [21:00] elexodus: you have to use that Samba utility I showed you to add your vista username/password to the Samba server on the ubuntu box [21:00] rich1987: The livecd needs 256Mb minumum to run [21:00] *minimum [21:00] Mecha25, it'd be a lot neater if i could just get my screensaver as i dim on idle and turn off the screen after 10 minutes anyway ;p [21:00] I have a strange issue with audio playback and I'm not sure where to start to diagnose: I cannot have audio on FF3 and an audio prog at the same time... [21:00] Hi, I'm trying to copy files across from a damaged NTFS formatted external hard drive and it seems to lock up File browser, is there another way to transfer the files which will be a bit more robust and handle the disk errors better? [21:01] it must be one or the other [21:01] gonna have a look at gconf [21:01] onx: yeah, but with some people's battery life won't support it [21:01] Hmm. Well, I guess we'll see him back shortly going "Hey, livecd doesn't run" etc etc [21:01] RandomCake: use cp in a terminal === _un\a\ffiliate is now known as un\a\ffiliate [21:01] Hi all. [21:01] elexodus: gksu system-config-samba [21:02] elexodus: if it isn't installed, grab it and then do that [21:02] Thanks Mecha25, I'll try that! :) [21:02] what's the best way to mount an ext2 SD card as R/W? [21:02] rwhe: use the Places menu, works for me [21:02] genii: That would make sense. So, I have /home/elexodus/Desktop/AOA shared already. How do I ad it to the smb.conf? [21:03] Hey can somebody tell me how I can add reference books to the devhelp tool ?? [21:03] Mecha25: how do I do that? [21:03] elexodus: 1 minute and I'll post a sample share definition [21:03] elexodus: use the Samba utility: gksu system-config-samba [21:03] install it if you need it [21:03] Mecha25: thanks, which option? [21:03] i dont want mounted drive icons to appear on my desktop. how do i configure that? [21:03] Mecha25: it started [21:04] rwhe: what do you mean, just click on the entry in the places menu, it should come up automatically, at least it did for me [21:04] elexodus: there should be an Add Share button [21:04] hi i am trying to repair my installation of grub from the live cd ; could someone help me ? [21:04] then you go to Samba Users and add your vista login as you [21:04] Mecha25: where? [21:04] elexodus: top left? [21:05] Mecha25: I don't see it... [21:05] fenrig: Connect thru and ftpclient to the computer [21:05] steven: hi! [21:05] Mecha25: it comes up mounted as read-only. how do i mount it as read-write? === TapoutMMA is now known as Tapout [21:06] Not a linux related question per se but does anyone know why i have a beeping sound, albeit low, always coming from my soundcard? It appears in my speaker as soon as i touch the PC case and not only when plugged into the soundcard, which makes me think it might not help buying a new one :( [21:06] elexodus: http://pastebin.ca/1204699 although you may not want the line of "force group = users" [21:06] well anyway, bye [21:06] hi i am trying to repair my installation of grub from the live cd ; could someone help me ? [21:06] rwhe: that's odd, I don't know === steven2 is now known as steven [21:06] Mecha25: thanks anyway. [21:06] steven_: heh [21:06] wanna chose another nick? [21:06] hello all. I need help restoring grub. [21:06] hi, cjsstables [21:06] how can I format my memory card to jffs2? [21:07] hi i am trying to repair my installation of grub from the live cd ; could someone help me ? [21:07] elexodus: After editing smb.conf file remember to check config file with testparm, if OK then to restart samba by: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [21:07] can anyone tell me how to mount an ext2 SD cards as read-write, instead of read-only? [21:07] if anyone can help me with this error that I send a message, because my English is poor and in general I would be very difficult.

[23:22] Boxici: it's completely dependent on your router. Check portforward.com [23:22] Anyone know why pinging a site would have low ping time/little ping time variance (30-70ms), 0% packet loss, but result in a delay time of about 4s per packet (meaning 4 packets take 16,000 ms or so to process via the ping command)?

[23:26] |VoidZero|: I've always used the rule that if you are asking whether or not you should install 64bit, then you should be using 32bit [23:27] ia32? don't know it [23:27] the_zemo: yep and as a prize you get a free really fancy lap top with Ubuntu pre installed on it with a nice looking offical CD [23:27] :d [23:27] # sudo chown danopia /ssh/thecondenser [23:27] chown: changing ownership of `/ssh/thecondenser': Permission denied [23:27] * danopia`` waits for reply [23:27] Turl |VoidZero| ia32-libs allow you to run 32 bit programs, no chroot needed. [23:27] it's very simple [23:27] Anyone here use crossover? [23:27] To rephrase the question more succinctly, how does the "time 25379ms" stat come to be with per-packet stats of 26-31ms? For example: 6 packets transmitted, 6 received, 0% packet loss, time 25379ms. rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 26.377/29.038/31.407/1.766 ms [23:28] but there was a tutorial somewhere on ubuntu forums explaining very detailed how to install x86 libs on a chroot so you could tun x865 & x64 simultaneously [23:28] Ok, another thing I wanted to know is, which graphics driver is best to use? the nvidia-glx or envyng-gtk? [23:28] gonna try 7.10 ubuntu live cd [23:28] chubs, didn't know about ia32 [23:28] hmm.. so when you mounted the drive, you did "username@:/directory /mountpoint -o uid=1000 ?

I don't see why there'd be a speed difference [23:29] hardy's nvidia drivers are the restricted drivers that you can install from the admin menu right? [23:29] b0rkb0rk, i did -o uid=1000 username@server:/dir /mountpoint [23:29] Turl, that's like asking which gets from A to B faster? a car or a car? :) [23:29] the_zemo: yeah [23:30] you did "username@:/directory /mountpoint -o uid=1000 ? [23:30] i'm not sure the order matters [23:30] unop, it would be a car connected directly to the gas tank or a car having a gas tank separate from it :p [23:30] chatticus: that's the total time ping was running 25 seg afaics [23:30] ubottu windows killed ubuntu install boot [23:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:30] b0rkb0rk, # sudo sshfs -o uid=1000 danopia@thecondenser.com:/var/clients/client0/web1/ /ssh/thecondenser [23:30] well right now they work and it aint broke I aint gonna try to fix it.

You might consider installing with the Alternate cd [23:32] scunizi: they seem to work just fine. so I aint going to mess with them. [23:32] Scunizi: ,because I have been trying to help a guy that has issues with them, plus other people who have had issues have told me [23:32] rich1987, not very, unless you're not running x. try xfce instead of gnome [23:32] how do I find out more about my machine? is there a command to display processor, speed, ram etc? [23:32] rich1987, gnome wouldn't be the best choice for that configuration. [23:33] SebNaitsabes: that's not definitive enough to say that they are "broken".. maybe it's just the configuration on the other's machines. [23:33] Scunizi: that was slightly wrong, other people who have had issues with them, have told me that [23:33] i'm currently running ubuntu 5.10 [23:33] OrangeKyo: lshw [23:33] OrangeKyo, cat /proc/{cpu,mem}info [23:33] Scunizi: well the first guy had a clean Ubuntu install [23:33] danopia: only other thing Ican think of is to try a -o allow_othre [23:33] i had it running with only 128mb [23:33] memort [23:33] err -o allow_other [23:33] ty [23:33] *memory* [23:33] SebNaitsabes: I had problems with them when I was using 7.10, but after getting 8.04 they seem to work fine. [23:33] that might work [23:33] but idunno [23:33] rich1987, resistant to change? :). it'll install and run, but you'd be better off with a more lightweight desktop environment [23:34] jrib: ok, thank you! :) [23:34] SebNaitsabes: doesn't matter.. there are other quirks that might throw the monkey wrench into the video.. bad bios needing update etc.. you just don't know. [23:34] I just want to know or make sure everything is as it should be. [23:34] is there some kind of gnome configuration center? [23:34] no i chose 7.10 for the built in ntfs support [23:34] the_zemo: good for you.. if they work .. don't fix them. [23:34] what is sda? and how does it relate to hd? [23:35] what does this mean " use 'setkeycodes e073 to make it known [23:35] thank you, Scunizi and SebNaitsabes for your help. [23:35] jganetsk2: gnome-control-center or just use your System -> Preferences menu [23:35] Scunizi: well the guy I am on about basically the bottom of programs never shows on the screen, and there are likes sections on the screen showing nothing, and he can only have 800x600 now, where as before the drivers he was able to have a resoloution that worked well. and that's the nivida one from ubuntu as well as the opengl one with envng [23:35] rich1987, i meant from not having upgraded since 5.10, but i think 8.04 is actually a little lighter on resources than 7.10. could be wrong though [23:35] wineo: is the first sata disk as seen by linux kernel hd0 for grub on most configurations [23:35] the_zemo: the difference between 7.10 and 8.04 is that 8.04 introduced xRandr for video control and 7.10 relied more heavily on xorg.conf [23:35] jrib: trying to get into the System -> Prefernences menu of a remote machine [23:36] 5.10 just happened to be the version i had on hand at the time i'm still new to linux [23:36] I am trying to get the wireless card to work [23:36] !wireless [23:36] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:36] talk to ya guys later. [23:36] erUSUL: so in my case, i would use sda? or hd0? for my grub configurations? [23:36] coolio: what wifi card ? [23:36] when I press the function key to get it going if gives this message [23:36] wineo: depends on the context... what command are you using? and is a shell command or a grub one? [23:36] I am told it is intel [23:37] SebNaitsabes: that's a common problem on some systems. not the fault of the drivers but the setup on install for some reason. Configuring "X" automatically has always been an issue and isn't quite bullet proof yet. On some systems it just requires the right person to help with the diagnostics to fix it. [23:37] rich1987, ahh. well, really it doesn't matter. but xubuntu 8.04 would run best of the ubuntu family. I think there's a fluxbuntu project too that wolud run even better [23:37] tulimaq: Intel Mini PCI Express Wireless Adapter Product code: 512AN_MMWG [23:37] rich1987: chubs there's also enlightenment or it's tweeked brother gOS [23:37] Scunizi: well I been remote connecting this guy nice and securely VNC with SSH tunneling, so I can't actasully see the computer myself, but any idea what to do about it? [23:38] erUSUL: im trying to set up my boot menu so i can boot windows or ubuntu. and am useing the the grub propt in the terminal. and in my menu.lst etc [23:38] !resolution | SebNaitsabes [23:38] SebNaitsabes: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [23:38] Scunizi, enlightenment is far from lightweight, and gOS is just a distro [23:38] coolio: ok, and what is your "iwconfig -a" output ? [23:38] wineo: if you are using the grub shell you have tu use the name grub uses hd0 if you are using grub-install use /dev/sda [23:39] !it [23:39] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [23:39] erUSUL: ok thanks, will give that a try [23:39] chubs: really? I had thought that enlightenment was lighter than gnome & kde.. probably not as light as xfce.. and sure gOS is a distro using the enlightenment backend.. [23:39] How do i use this chat .? [23:39] cat /etc/lsb-release shows me the ubuntu version running. how do i find out the architecture that was installed, or the variant (xubuntu, kubuntu, etc)? [23:39] tech_: you are. [23:39] tech__: just ask your question; if you have one? [23:39] how many devs does ubuntu have? [23:39] What is the best remote acess software for linux (GUI) [23:40] Scunizi: heh of cousre the prompts why didn't I think of that :D thanks though for that, i'll try that with him [23:40] hello evryone i have a webcam genius eye 312 anyone can tell how can i configure in hardy [23:40] how do I tell if I have a x64 bit processor or the 32-bit 86? [23:40] tulimaq: no such device [23:40] rcy`, dpkg --print-architecture [23:40] chubs, enlightenment might be lighter than gnome or kde, but that doesn't really make it lightweight, it's also much less of an active project [23:40] OrangeKyo, ^^ [23:40] hf [23:40] I am new on this system.. [23:40] <|VoidZero|> OrangeKyo do you know the model of you processor? [23:40] tech__: si quieres pasarte a #ubuntu-es escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter [23:40] Scunizi, ^ [23:40] I am now back to using the nvidia-glx driver, but I still cannot get my computer out of 800x600 [23:40] unop: you rock, thanks [23:40] can anyone help me? [23:40] i'm new on this système [23:40] selam ardakşlar [23:40] hi hello [23:40] SebNaitsabes: np.. good luck.. by the way if he port forwards 5700-5900 to his box you can use Remote Desktop Viewer.. [23:41] hmm [23:41] can eny 1 help me [23:41] OrangeKyo: grep lm /proc/cpuinfo [23:41] chubs: sorry don't know what "^" is. but hopefully it's positive? [23:41] OrangeKyo: grep ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo [23:41] Scunizi: uhmmm he conencts to my SSH, and does another command for VNC using localhost. and I do vncviewer -listen [23:41] unop, erUSUL, lol I mean: how do I make sense of that? I see 64 and 32 here and there [23:41] coolio: ok .. do u have a driver cd ? [23:41] Anyone have any suggestions for what program to use to extract audio from an mp4 in Ubuntu? [23:41] tulimaq: it is enabled in bios but it seems ubuntu do not want to recognise it when I activate it with the Fn+F2 key [23:41] anyone know how many devs Ubuntu has that are actively working on the project? [23:41] SebNaitsabes: that's the way.. [23:41] nope [23:42] Scunizi, i meant ^ as in look up to my previous comment because i forget to add your name to it :). i'll just send it again [23:42] heya peoples [23:42] OrangeKyo, dpkg --print-architecture prints the architecture of your install. [23:42] chubs: got it.. thanks [23:42] Scunizi, , enlightenment might be lighter than gnome or kde, but that doesn't really make it lightweight, it's also much less of an active project [23:42] OrangeKyo: you want to know if you have a cpu that supports 64 bits or if you have ubuntu 64 bits installed? [23:42] Scunizi: by the way do you know aything about 3D WIndows games in Linux? I heard that stuff like Worms 3D will run in Wine for example some how [23:42] OrangeKyo, i suppose what erUSUL gave you prints the architecture of your CPU, not necessarily the install, [23:42] i gotts a quick question, anybody got a link for a torrent of ubuntu hardy alternate? [23:42] coolio: check "lspci" output ... just to be sure [23:42] <|VoidZero|> So guys... nowadays for a general desktop use the rule is >=4GB -> 64-bit / <4GB -> 32-bit?? [23:42] i can't seem to find one. [23:42] erUSUL, I want to know if my cpu supports 64 bit, I already know this install is 32 bit ubuntu [23:42] SebNaitsabes: i run guild wars without a hitch in latest wine [23:43] OrangeKyo: grep ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo [23:43] tulimaq did that [23:43] |VoidZero|, for the most part yeah [23:43] erUSUL, that gives me nothing - should it? [23:43] OrangeKyo: lm stands for long mode == 64 bits if the command outputs a lon line of flags it has 64 bit [23:43] SebNaitsabes: just depends.. if it needs direct x no it won't run [23:44] OrangeKyo: between those flags should be lm [23:44] does not list wlan just ethernet controller [23:44] i've close the gnome panel in the down... how i can have again? [23:44] any1 know of any virtual machine programs that have direct x support? [23:44] Can anyone help? I'm stuck in 800x600 [23:44] luigi: right click on the existing panel -> add new panel [23:44] unop: check the flags line from cpuinfo output the flag that tells if a cpu has 64 bit is lm [23:44] !fixres > pianoboy3333 [23:44] ubuntu: nope [23:44] pianoboy3333, please see my private message [23:44] ubuntu, virtualbox, vmware [23:45] ok ty [23:45] he wants to run mabinogi [23:45] hi.... help me [23:45] erUSUL, unop, ok I see an lm, so i have a 64 bit processor? [23:45] maby i can get games to run in ubuntu :) [23:45] OrangeKyo: yep [23:45] OrangeKyo, I guess [23:45] coolio: can u pastebin "lspci" output [23:45] jrib: yea... thanks, my problem is that sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't let me choose all the video stuff in hardy [23:45] <|VoidZero|> in general the only thing I'm afraid of 64-bit is that nspluginwrapper doesn't work flawlessly and to a lesser degree if I need a browser Java Applet that doesn't work with IcedTea :P In this in mind what would you say? [23:45] jrib so i had to do a new panel... ther'is no way to have already? [23:45] erUSUL, ok, so if I wanted to use that I would have to get ram greater than 4gb, right? [23:45] OrangeKyo: mine is 64 bit too quote "... mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp *lm* 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good nopl... " [23:45] pianoboy3333: yeah, that doesn't work anymore, use the other methods [23:45] that laptop not internet yet === b0rkb0rk is now known as b0hica [23:46] !resetpanel | luigi [23:46] luigi: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [23:46] so, is this the correct entry for my menu list to boot windows which is in the second partition of my sata drive? http://paste.ubuntu.com/47594/ [23:46] luigi: but then you lose any changes you've made [23:46] jrib: alright, I'll have to recheck out the wiki [23:46] OrangeKyo, no, other way around - if you had more than 4GB of RAM, you'd need a 64bit system to use all of it. [23:46] can you search for "hilts" on paste, did one earleir [23:46] OrangeKyo: ? no you need 64 bit ubuntu to access ram beyond 4GB (usually less 3.5GB) [23:46] mabinogi is a no go, for that matter anything with gameguard is a no go since gameguard has to find certain windows api's and is very much like a rootkit. or something like that [23:46] unop, erUSUL, thanks for the info guys. helps a lot. [23:46] hello [23:47] erUSUL: he wants to run mabinogi [23:47] OrangeKyo: no problem [23:47] !appdb | SebNaitsabes [23:47] SebNaitsabes: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [23:47] yes been there [23:47] seems it won't work [23:47] I have a Creative Sound Blaster audio card and I got no sound in Ubuntu. How can I fix this? [23:47] mabinogi is a no go, for that matter anything with gameguard is a no go since gameguard has to find certain windows api's and is very much like a rootkit. or something like that not even in wine [23:47] SebNaitsabes: :| === xmagixx is now known as xmagixx^BNC [23:47] <|VoidZero|> vjoe... are you from Portugal? === xmagixx^BNC is now known as xmagixx [23:47] Could someone suggest a piece of software capable of adjusting audio/video sync of an avi file? [23:47] |VoidZero|: why? [23:48] so, is this the correct entry for my menu list to boot windows which is in the second partition of my sata drive? http://paste.ubuntu.com/47594/ [23:48] maxb: avidimux? [23:48] <|VoidZero|> I know a user with the same nick on a Portuguese IRC network :P [23:48] maxb: avidemux [23:48] hmm, still the issue of hard reboot when trying to launch nero or gtaIII [23:48] |VoidZero|: yep it's me [23:48] thanks, /me goes to read about it [23:48] <|VoidZero|> lol [23:48] coolio: try ndiswrapper [23:48] <|VoidZero|> the world is so small ;) [23:48] wineo: probably you need to hide the firs partition from windows or map it [23:48] |VoidZero|: what is your nick in ptnet? [23:49] <|VoidZero|> petersaints [23:49] hey guys, im looking for suggestions for a good IDE for coding c++ [23:49] LOL [23:49] <|VoidZero|> we talked this afternoon [23:49] eheh [23:49] bep, geany is topscore [23:49] <|VoidZero|> you're trying to get that sound card working with Pulse Audio right? [23:49] map would be like.... grub... map hd0,0 hd0,1 and viseversa? [23:49] chubs ok thanks ill try that [23:50] how do i use shift in vnc? [23:50] pc100 and pc133 any compatability [23:50] ok so i need some help with my webcam, anyone? [23:51] i have 2 1gb sticks of crucial pc6400 is it ok to add 1gb of patriot pc 6400? [23:51] !anyone | pancho [23:51] pancho: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [23:51] XD [23:51] wineo: Well, have you tried it yet? There are some things that could be wrong with it, but I'd try it first. [23:51] sorry, ok [23:51] bobertdos: will try now [23:51] i made my logitech quickcam zoom work(only video) [23:51] does anyone know of a tool that can get rss feeds and download only certain files in them. im not looking for a full fledged rss reader just something simple [23:51] how do i enable the built-in mic? [23:52] arooni-pocketpc: probably but you'll also want to look at the cas rating of the chips.. the slowest one has the highest number.. and will slow the others down [23:52] is it true that pc133 can run on pc100 slots? [23:53] brb restarting to check [23:53] and vice versa [23:53] is 32bit ubuntu limited to 3.25gb of ram? [23:53] rich1987, don't think so. pc100 can run on pc133 though [23:53] arooni-pocketpc, i think it's ~3.7, but it is limited [23:53] hmm so my pc must be pc133 then [23:54] wineo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47601/ <<< i think you will need this [23:54] arooni-pocketpc: or something like that.. true I think with all 32 bit systems. [23:54] Good evening - could anyone tell me where I can read up the details of how the sound system works in Linux? I'm referring to the hardware devices as well as interaction with JACK. I'm struggling a lot - half my apps work, the other half works sometimes, and some of them just work halfway. I know I don't understand all the settings and terminology, so I figured if I could read up about it,... [23:54] ...I might be able to better understand what I'm doing wrong [23:54] !paste [23:54] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [23:54] okay just wanted to find out. ja ne. [23:54] rich1987: u can run 133 on 100-boards, but will prbly get errors with a 100MB-sd on a 133 cpu [23:55] does xubuntu have any limitations? like, can it not run some programs? [23:55] kapace, no. [23:55] thanks chubs [23:55] Is there a hardy release for nxserver? [23:55] is 32bit ubuntu limited to 3.25gb of ram? [23:56] kapace, you may have to install libs for kde or gnome for certain programs however. [23:56] ill guess ill install it now [23:56] kapace, but it's automagic with apt-get so i wouldn't worry [23:56] chubs, but do i have to run gnome or kde? [23:56] 32 bit OS can only handle up to 4GB memory. This goes for any video, system or other memory plugged into the computer. other memory as in flash drives. [23:56] kapace, no [23:56] k [23:56] byes ;) === duckers is now known as neuratix [23:56] arooni-pocketpc: u can recompile kernel to support more ram [23:57] Or recompile. [23:57] aldaek, that's simply not true [23:57] flash drives are completely separate [23:57] It's true for windows, was not entirely sure for linux. [23:58] flash drives on vista used as memory for hard drives count against that total. [23:58] does any 1 of the 1,300 users here use vnc? [23:58] I use remote desktop in ubuntu...which is vnc [23:58] is this a poll? [23:59] aldaek, are you saying a 32bit OS can't address more than 4GB of flash memory? === marko_ is now known as marko-_- [23:59] vnc is slow [23:59] arooni-pocketpc: the chunk of memory 32 bits oses steal from the maximum of 4GB depends on the pci memory adress space you are using [23:59] ok [23:59] jimv2000, how do you send shift? [23:59] I don't think the 32bit limit has anything to do with ReadyBoost [23:59] it should just work [23:59] jimv2000: does it just work for you, have you tried it? [23:59] there's nothing special about shift [23:59] hi [23:59] yeah [23:59] arooni-pocketpc: grphic cards use a lot of that pci mem space but othere devices do too [23:59] it works for me [23:59] No. I'm saying that vista 32, cannot use more than 4 GB of memory, be it system memory, video memory or flash memory for hard drive caching.
