raulhbleh, hear*00:02
daklancharlie``: you can disable it temporarily by setting acpi=off at boot time00:02
xompThexLeopard, yes, I was able to do this in windows prior to installing ubuntu on  my moms laptop.00:02
Scoomai have an interesting problem: My video/keyboard/mouse are locked up (8.04, all patches). I have lots of this in dmesg (I can ssh to it) : [68434.769838] [fglrx:drm_free] *ERROR* [driver] Excess frees: 2147383608 frees, -2147483558 allocs00:02

ThexLeopardwhat firewall you got on the windows computer?00:02
D3RGPS31D3RGPS31: server00:02
raulhD3RGPS31: it might be that the server dosn't use .htaccess files00:02
charlie``daklan: I googled the problem not with my laptop though, I think I just seen a page that looks promising, thanks00:02
uriolhello00:02
urioli am from spain00:02

xompThexLeopard, I took my moms files from her XP laptop and backed them up on my PC, now that she has ubuntu I'm trying to pull her backups off my XP machine and it ain't working. I have no firewall on the PC.00:03
raulhel3allali well glad it's working for you, cheers mate.00:03
ThexLeopardare you running windows on the pc youre trying to take the files off?00:03
D3RGPS31Raulh: what else would apache2 use? where can i find out?00:03
Max-Petherealpanda I will try to restart again, looks to happen in the same time the touchpad stop working correctly00:03
urioli'd just installed this operating system this evening on my computer00:03
uriol:)00:03

uriolnow it's 1:03 am00:03
raulhD3RGPS31: php files?00:03
raulhon the home screen00:03
csilkwhat would a decent swapfile size be for a laptop woth 512 ram?00:03
ThexLeopardwhich OS are the files on00:04
csilk*with00:04
el3allaliraulh: but now i have to save the configuration genarated by nvidia utility on the xorg.con, how can it edit it using bash ?00:04
raulhon the home page*00:04
xompThexLeopard, Windows XP00:04
Funoosthhow do you create a new folder00:04
urioli find this operating system very good00:04
etherealpandaMax-P: yeah, restarting to fix it is a bad solution, but it should help narrow down the problem00:04
superrocahola00:04
daklancsilk: depends on how you use your laptop. you can probably set it at 1gb for now00:04
el3allaliraulh: i'm new to linux, i still don't know lot of commands00:04
SchuenemannFunoost, mkdir dir_name00:04
uriolgnu-ubuntu 8.0400:04
raulhel3allali: now i'm lost there haha.00:04
ThexLeopardand windows is running on the computer youre trying to access?00:04
daklancsilk: usually a good estimate would be twice the size of your ram00:04
xompThexLeopard, yeah00:04
D3RGPS31Raulh: have any links to help me set it for htaccess D=00:04
ThexLeopardand theres no firewall on the windows computer?00:05
daklanbut anything bigger than 2gb is overkill on a laptop00:05
csilkdaklan, mainly software developement, nothing mroe instense than compiling really00:05
raulhill see wat i can dig up00:05
csilk*more00:05
xompThexLeopard, no firewall at all, even the windows firewall is disabled.00:05
Max-Petherealpanda I dont know if there is a link with my problem, but looks my touchpad is not in the xorg.conf :S00:05
Funoosthow do you copy files00:05
D3RGPS31\o/ life is good!00:05
Funoostits cp isnt it00:05
ThexLeopardhmm00:05
SchuenemannFunoost, yes00:05
ThexLeopardare your permissions set correctly?00:05
daklancsilk: your activities are more RAM-intensive. swapping won't occur that often. i suggest 1gb00:05
raulhD3RGPS31:, can you show me your htaccess file's code?00:05
csilkdaklan,  thanks00:05
xompThexLeopard, yeah, they're the same permissions I had prior to installing ubuntu, just read access no write on that share.00:05
raulhdaklan good swap space is always below what your real ram is00:05
raulhusualy 620 is just fine00:06
roukounhi00:06
etherealpandaMax-P: That doesn't cut out randomly does it? Have you seen this link? http://aldeby.org/blog/index.php/howto-ubuntu-linux-on-hp-pavilion-dv2000-dv6000-dv9000-series-laptops00:06
o0Chris0oI am having problems setting up my logitech USB headset to use teamspeak, been at it for the past 2 hours, I have  game/clan meeting less than an hour....I appreciate the help :D00:06
D3RGPS31RaulH: yes00:06
ThexLeopardok, you can either try restarting and trying again, or hosting a windows share on the ubuntu computer and trying to go the other way00:06
el3allaliraulh: well, the xorg.conf still contain wrong settings, i used nvidia xserver utility to set resolution, but i have to save that on xorg.conf, this way it will start with a good resolution by default00:06
etherealpandaMax-P, It's got a section on how to configure the touchpad00:06
ThexLeopardcopying the files on the windows computer to the ubuntu computer00:06
daklanraulh: depending on your computer's purpose, swap space can be equal or greater than your available ram00:06
Funoostdo you just do cp * [directory]?00:06
ryan_Can you make a copy of all your installed programs, burn the entire ubunutu OS to a disk, and Install that customized version on another PC.  I love my Ubuntu setup, but do not want to reinstall of my programs on my work computer.00:06
raulhyeah but swap is rarely used00:06
xompThexLeopard, I tried creating a share in ubuntu prior, but got an error that I've no permissions to do so :/00:07
superrocasorry con someone help me?00:07
Funoostif i wanna copy everything00:07
raulhatleast for me it rarely gets used..00:07
daklanraulh: for example, dbase servers usually need more swap space than most desktops00:07
ThexLeopardyeah i got that rofl00:07
ThexLeopardhang on00:07
D3RGPS31RaulH:http://pastebin.com/mab0d01d00:07
el3allaliraulh: nvidia xserver doesn't have permission to write on xorg.conf00:07
xomplol ok00:07

D3RGPS31RaulH: k00:07
xompdanke herr ThexLeopard :)00:07
ThexLeopardno problem00:07
daklanraulh: in general, any activity that requires frequent access to massive amounts of data need large swap spaces if your RAM is smaller than your data size00:08
el3allalihow can it edit a file using bash ?00:08
superrocai have a virus in my parttion of windows and i cant do anything there, so can i clean the virus from ubuntu00:08

DecocdeHi, Im looking for a program that can manage virtual disk drives and create Iso's. I know there is a command to mount Iso's as virtual drives, but that is in-convenient for how often I would be using it and I don't know how to make Iso's. I've already tried google, any help would be awsome00:13
daklanel3allali: as long as the mobo supports boot off usb, it will be alright00:13
raulhel3allali: if your computer can read usb's as a boot00:13
raulhthen you should be able to00:13
raulhthats what they mean00:13

Schuenemannel3allali, well, then there's no problem00:14

roukoundaklan: the code is ok for sure... i think that the problem is on the gcc or some missing arguments00:16
histodaklan: hrm.. why is it highlight green?00:16
uffokitche: it is, filezilla and Blender is right on my desktop and usable00:17
Schuenemannuriol, you can use apt for that00:17
awellI'm new at Ubuntu. I was working on installing Apache server. I have some files in the www folder that I want to delete. How can I do this?00:17
kitcheuffo: yes they have portable apps vlc doesn't have the option00:17
el3allaliSchuenemann: witch option do i have to choose ?00:17
uffokitche: this is example that portable works00:17
daklanroukoun: gnu libs and windows libs have some sort of incompatibility. is your source code written originally for MS?00:17
kitcheuffo: and your point being?00:17
uffokitche: this is future for all software and it wont damage main system libraries too00:18
Schuenemannel3allali, it's like a normal installation. When it asks for confirmation, it says everything that will be done. You just pay attention to see if it will choose the external HD mbr00:18
kitcheuffo: if you want portable vlc then use this http://portableapps.free.fr/exe/VLC_TV_Portable_0.8.6f_Fr.exe00:18
uffokitche: it is windows thing00:18
kitcheuffo: ok your telling somone that already knows all of this so what's your point?00:18
daklanhisto: it means "restricted deletion"00:18

el3allaliThanks for all who helped me , have a good time00:19

histodaklan: I just added the t but its highlighted green and that is normal?00:19
uffokitche: currently blender works this way i extract and run it do not argue against that, portable is future00:19
roukoundaklan: no00:19

psynophileHello, while at the console, not GUI, I type my username and password, then my system asks me for the password again. After I type it again, it logs me in, what's up with that?00:50
FlynsarmyIn my update manager i have virtualbox-ose-modules-generic and k3b that are both greyed out and always there even after i update. why? how do i actually update them?00:52
IntuitiveNipplepsynophile: sticky key affects the first password entry maybe?00:53
EvilDaemonFlynsarmy Maybe it's virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r` manually in the terminal?00:54
psynophileIntuitiveNipple: huh, what's "sticky key"?00:54
psynophileoh, duh, sorry, you mean a sticky key00:54
psynophilewouldn't that kick me back to "Username:" because the password would be wrong?00:55
IntuitiveNipplepsynophile: sometimes a key will remain pressed and fire a second time. If you type your password fast, and especially if you have a mix of lower-case and CaPiTaLs, that can affect it00:55
FlynsarmyEvilDaemon, 2.6.24-19-generic00:55
IntuitiveNipplepsynophile: usually it gives three attempts on password, doesn't it?00:55
psynophileIntuitiveNipple: Oh, I see what you're saying. No, it's asking for the password twice, it doesn't go back to the username:00:56
JuzzyDNo one can help with pulse?00:56
psynophileIntuitiveNipple: Like this: username:<type my username>, password: <type my password>, password: <type my password>00:56
IntuitiveNipplepsynophile: I see what you mean... on a console itself00:56
psynophileIntuitiveNipple: yea, on a virtual console00:57
psynophileIntuitiveNipple: I'm just worried it's a trojan or rootkit trying to get my password00:57
IntuitiveNipplepsynophile: Hmmm, is the second password question definitely a repeat of the first? Could it be something else? Have you added addtional PAM modules for authentication?00:58
IntuitiveNipplepsynophile: check  /var/log/auth.log for clues00:58
psynophileIntuitiveNipple: this started happening almost immediately after i did this: 1) Installed the system 2) updated 3) let it sit for a weekend00:59
IntuitiveNipplepsynophile: Does it happen when the system is first started and you get the GUI prompt?00:59
matt____1I have a LAMP ubuntu server setup, I'm wondering...is it possible to "integrate" html OR php with sql/mysql? I'm wanting to create a page to simplfy quering and such.

AnusienNone of my media applications (mythfrontend, amarok, mplayer) are playing any sound.  The error amarok gives is  "xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers".  I think it might be related to how flash sometimes steals the audio driver, but I've closed firefox and nothing.  Also did a `sudo alsa reload` and still no sound.  Any other solutions?01:01

Damion1890 /msg ubottu etiquette01:06
Anusienpsynophile: so is there an answer to this problem besides reboot?01:06
psynophilematt____1: Joomla's customized db queries would be called modules, you'd have to code that yourself, if the db is totally customized. Otherwise there are some form/sql integration modules on joomla's website that might work01:06
IntuitiveNippleAnusien: is the system using pulse-audio? maybe you need to restart the pa session server?01:07
matt____1psynophile: You mean joomla may do it? I'll take a look. So would I perhaps..with enough configuration, be able to open the joomla page, type someone's last name into a box, and hit query? Then it'd bring up the info for them?01:07
thethirdmooseis there a way to change the beige default color of all the windows? Not the titlebars, the windows themselves01:08
matt____1psynophile: A form! That's essentially what I want...i think.01:08
PoliticsDamion1890: Fine. I'm sorry for using an explicitive.01:08
psynophilematt____1: Yea, that's, unfortunately what you have to do. Now, drupal has a forms api that may be easier for you to work with, so you may want to look at that..01:08
matt____1psynophile: Hmm...perhaps...01:09
PoliticsBut I've been dealing with issue after issue since I installed ubuntu a week ago, and now this is making me think I need to do a fresh reinstall, which would pretty much make me snap.01:09
psynophilematt____1: It's kind of disappointing. I mean, Joomla can do ALL OF THIS STUFF, but you can't make a simple form to query a database? WTF? You know?01:09
AnusienIntuitiveNipple: I have no idea, how can I check?01:09

thethirdmooseis there a way to change the beige default color of all the windows? Not the titlebars, the windows themselves01:10

austingrim76, do you know how to install vmware fusion on ubuntu 8.1001:32
psynophileZoneOUT: change "filename.exe" to whatever your file is that you downloaded01:32
grim76austin: Never installed fusion.01:32
Piciaustin: 8.10 help is still in #ubuntu+101:32
belkinhelp2also, the graphic card driver always reverts back to a generic VESA driver01:33
Jordan_Ubelkinhelp2: Put whatever specific settings you want in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf01:33
belkinhelp2how to i stop that as well01:33

matt____unop: What? Did I really put &? That's stupid!01:34
AnusienIntuitiveNipple: Anyway, do you think that could be the problem (seems similar, since non-amarok programs just silently don't play audio) and how would it get fixed?01:34
matt____IntuitiveNipple: what do the -s and -p do?01:35
IntuitiveNippleAnusien: I don't know, sound applications are generally well-behaved around me  :)01:35

belkinhelp2how do I use the GUI to make the setting change01:36

ubottuThe 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/FixVideoResolutionHowto01:37
psynophileZoneOUT: You can't get it to INSTALL or you can't get it to EXTRACT THE EXE?01:37
ZoneOUTIf I send the file to you can you just send me the inf01:37
ZoneOUTI can't get it to install01:37
psynophileZoneOUT: sudo apt-get -y install cabextract01:37
matt____IntuitiveNipple: Hmm...the command just goes back to the terminall..perhaps I should make it clear that I want to show the data in the prompt?01:37
Scuniziaustin: that's a question for #ubuntu+1  but for gp.. it should be the same as for 8.04 if you are using the 2.xx beta version.. for 1.x.x you probably won't be able to.01:37
unopmatt____, i would also put $password in double quotes, to protect against the shell expanding and acting on the variable.  mysql -u root -p "$password"01:37
psynophileZoneOUT: but i didn't even have to do that, it was installed by default01:37
DasEiaustin: free vmware ?01:38
matt____unop: I'm having troubles understanding the double quotes...perhaps a pastebin my friend?01:38

mnWhat is the default password for "su"?01:43
belkinhelp2Jordan_U....good question01:43
unop!root | mn01:43
ubottumn: 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/RootSudo01:43
_Zeus_!root01:43
psynophileZoneOUT: the instructions that you're reading probably aren't clear, so let me tell you what you're doing. You're trying different compression programs on an exe to see which one extracts it. It's also possible that this exe isn't an archive or is some obscure type that you can't find. You're doing this to get the inf file out so that you can install the ndis drivers01:43
ZoneOUThttp://paste.ubuntu.com/48746/ should I do anything about this01:43
_Zeus_crap!01:43
matt____unop: ohh...right. But I'm not sure this is running correctly..when I run...it doesn't actually show the data..01:44
belkinhelp2Jordan_U....i only have this problem because i swapped hard drives01:44
Scunizisort of off topic.. but how would I reattach a tab that I've detached in xchat?01:44
_Zeus_ZoneOUT: run sudo apt-get -f install?01:44
belkinhelp2its the same graphic card AND monitor from the old PC01:44
AnusienIntuitiveNipple: alsa reload didn't do it, but alsa force-reload killed the processes holding onto alsa01:44
psynophileZoneOUT: Just a good idea to make sure you clean up any errors that you get, so yea...do that01:44
mnwow, thnx unop01:44
belkinhelp2Jordan_U....I dont understand why its not recognizing the hardware I was using before the switch01:44
BajoranSo if a cd-drive isn't mounted automatically then its probably screwed somehow, and my ntfs partition for vista is also not mounted because my hewit-packard pheonix ghosting bios is keeping it from being read01:44
Jordan_Ubelkinhelp2: What do you mean? Is it the same install just on a different drive? Because that shouldn't make any difference01:44
ZoneOUTwill it effect my java01:44
balzact01:45
woliif i move a WoW (installed with wine) to a 'Games' folder in /home, would that affect its functionality?01:45
unopmatt____, i suspect a problem with the actual mysql command - though i'm not very sure about it - I've not used mysql very much.01:45
ZoneOUTI need java installed+ right for scho01:45
ZoneOUTol01:45
ZoneOUTsorry my daughters messing with the keybaord.01:45
psynophileZoneOUT: probably...01:45
belkinhelp2Jordan_U....its the same install, on the same hard drive put into a new PC.  I am using the old graphics card and monitor though01:45
anom01yHi I have a p4 2.8ghz CPU with 440mb ram, it get really slow when I use firefox 3 or 4 tabs open, and kopete.. Im just wondering if this is a lack of Memory problem ?01:45
matt____unop: http://pastebin.com/m2530503e01:45
psynophileZoneOUT: try to do sudo apt-get -y install cabextract now01:45
belkinhelp2Jordan_U....so there is no reason for it to do this.01:45
_Zeus_anom01y: shouldn''t be01:45
mnunop: is the only difference between sudo su and sudo -i is that su preserves your directory?01:45
_Zeus_are you running other stuff?01:45
anom01yno just firefox with 3 or 4 tabs, kopete01:46
_Zeus_anom01y: can you chack out the output of top?01:46

anom01ycomputer gets very non responsive, you hit a key to type swomething and it takes 1 second to appear01:46
belkinhelp2Jordan_U....should i use the frame buffer interface in  Configuring xserver-xorg ?01:46
anom01yI don't accually have access to this computer right now01:46
_Zeus_anom01y: please come back when you do01:46
Jordan_Ubelkinhelp2: Did you use screens and graphics on your initial install?01:46
anom01yok01:47
psynophileZoneOUT: lookin but I'm not seeing...01:47
belkinhelp2Jordan_U....sure01:47
psynophileZoneOUT: Just go to terminal and type 'cabextract'01:47
belkinhelp2Jordan_U....i changed settings around plenty of times for the past year or so01:47
Jordan_Ubelkinhelp2: Use the default ( in fact you can generate a default config no questions asked with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh )01:47
unopmn, errm, i'm not sure if it preserved more environmental variables too - but you could say that i suppose - in any case, it's safer to use sudo -i01:47
psynophileZoneOUT: does it say 'no cabinet files specified...'?01:47
IntuitiveNipplematt____: pastebin the current script version01:47
matt____IntuitiveNipple: http://pastebin.com/m12ead4ee01:48
psynophileZoneOUT: or does it say 'command not found'?01:48
mcquaidis there a rep with a newer kernel version for hardy?01:48
Jordan_Umcquaid: Why do you want a newer kernel version?01:48
Bajoran/dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 001:48
Bajoranwould that work?01:49
Bajoranif the partition was /dev/sda101:49
unopmatt____, try fine tuning the mysql command so it works from the command line before putting it in a script.01:49
matt____unop: Good idea...01:49
psynophilemcquaid: the proposed-updates repo has 2.6.24-21-generic01:49
IntuitiveNipplematt____: there shouldn't be a space between -p and the password itself, if it is on the command line try using --password="$password" instead... the other thing is, those quotes might be causing a problem so you could try "--password=$password"01:49
Bajoranin ftap01:49
matt____unop: with no variables....right?01:49
unopmatt____, right01:49
mcquaidcause i'm using this wifi usb adapter which driver (zd1211) has known issues in 2.6.2401:50
matt____IntuitiveNipple: I seem to remember that about the password...01:50
mcquaidand it's had various fixes in 2.6.2601:50
psynophilemcquaid: enable proposed-updates, it might be in there...01:50
unopIntuitiveNipple, that wouldn't work - the mysql command would see the entire quoted expression as one option/argument01:50
matt____IntuitiveNipple: Oh snap! It worked.01:51
psynophilemcquaid: the fixes, i mean01:51
matt____unop: It did work!01:51
unopmatt____, what worked?01:51
ZoneOUTI've got a mess here..01:51
ZoneOUTyes it says command not found.'01:51
psynophileZoneOUT: okay, it's NOT installed, then01:51
matt____unop: what IntuitiveNipple told me...about the -ppassword and quotes...01:51
IntuitiveNippleunop: Yes it will. try it and see01:51
mcquaidnaw i seached updates01:51
psynophileZoneOUT: sudo apt-get -y install cabextract01:51
Bajoranhi01:52
ZoneOUTyes I realize that.. alright then it trys to install java and the cab and I get a text document01:52
Bajoranwhats the command to switch directory in bash01:52
mcquaids/b an easier way to grab just the module src from the latest kern and compile it for 2.6.24 instead of compiling the whole kern01:52
IntuitiveNippleBash removes the "..." quotes when it processes the command-line01:52
unopmatt____, i was referring to "--password=something"01:52
ScuniziBajoran: cd01:52
IntuitiveNippleunop: Yes, that works01:52
matt____unop: it worked...01:52
unopIntuitiveNipple, well, it's not normal - but i guess if it works, it works01:52
Bajoranthx01:53
jevonquestion: Is there a way to use a computer to phone someone's home phone01:53
IntuitiveNippleunop: It is... that's what bash does01:53
ZoneOUTsays the licence agreement then has okay do I type something to accept01:53
ZoneOUTor hit a command I've tried enter.01:53
belkinhelp2Jordan_U....ugh....how do i go back to a previous menu01:53
belkinhelp2Jordan_U....in xorg01:53
unopIntuitiveNipple, never mind.01:53
matt____unop: IntuitiveNipple Now...I just realized I hate typing in that long password..if someone ssh's into my system..mounts the db via truecrypt...I think they'll have an easy time figuring out my mysql password...so do you see any problems with putting the password in the script?01:53
user01everytime i do system quit the menus go away and nothing happens01:53
Jordan_Ubelkinhelp2: You can't01:53
belkinhelp2Jordan_U....lol01:53
belkinhelp2Jordan_U....i feel like such a fish01:54
IntuitiveNippleunop: bash ensures that anything wrapped in double-quotes is passed as a single command-line argument (e.g. $2)01:54
user01it is hardy heroin01:54
wolihave any of you guys tried chrome under ubuntu?01:54
unopmatt____, well, if someone else has the ability to execute your script - they have the ability to read it too - so hard-coding a password is never a good idea01:54
fezoulidogo01:54
unopIntuitiveNipple, i said never mind - i'm not interested in how mysql processes command line options01:54
user01any ideas?01:54
nubuntuanybody know of any room that specializes in tiny linux distros, like muLinux?  i have an old compaq that has win95 on it.  on the back it says 'series 2870b'.  of course it has no cdrom, although i have an old cdrom 'backpack bantam' unit that has like a parallel port, i wonder if i could make something boot from that.  i've heard that old drives don't work well tho they have lots of...01:54
nubuntu...errors?  anybody feel like getting hands dirty, or have any suggestions what i should try to put on it?  of course it has a floppy drive, but i need help with that process too.  not like i'm asking a lot, huh?  oh, yeah, i have a pen and paper too.01:54
matt____unop: That's true...so then they COULD ssh into my system...but I don't see how anyone would read the script....is there a way?01:55

ldpumm01:55
ldpwrong channel01:55
unopIntuitiveNipple, though, i am aware of how bash works01:55
IntuitiveNippleunop: That isn't mysql, that is bash... which is why matt's script works01:55
Jordan_Ubelkinhelp2: Try this quickly, quit dpkg-reconfigure and just run "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.probably_useless_backup" then restart X, it might just work and it will use all default settings and autodetection from Xorg itself01:55
unopmatt____, do you give ssh users the ability to execute your script?01:55

belkinhelp2U_Jordan....but now my resolution is a bit higher than i had it originally set before the switch02:01
nubuntuDasEi, my friend is very happy with his 'new' computer, thanks again02:02
unop_Zeus_, poopuser, the directory /sys is special - if you want to break something bad, you've just done it with that command02:02
Jordan_Ubelkinhelp2: Is that a good thing or a bad thing :) ?02:02
DasEinubuntu:the win-knoppix ?02:02
belkinhelp2U_Jordan....and under system.administration.screens and graphics....the monitor is set at PnP at 60Hz....and i cant change it02:02

belkinhelp2Jordan_U....lol...ok02:03
nubuntugonna go search to try to find how to get at the bios on this thing02:03
unop_Zeus_, it does on mine - the kernel sysfs is mounted there02:03
matt____IntuitiveNipple: but I'm thinking along these lines...currently the ssh password is the same as the mysql password...I don't think anyone can read the batch file without ssh'ing first. Unless you see something I don't.02:03
belkinhelp2Jordan_U....perhaps its time to upgrade to Hardy Heron02:03
_Zeus_unop: no, i don02:03

Zirodayroukoun: thats the log file, you should not need to edit that. However if you want to you can open it in any text editor.03:12
bobbob1016Desktop-Kyle, Which config?  I did, and I checked "emulate virtual desktop" and it doesn't work03:12
FlannelCzarAlex: Hmm, and `ls -l /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ | grep userdir` outputs stuff?03:13
Desktop-Kylebobbob1016, you don't want that :S03:13
CzarAlexFlannel, nothing actually.03:13
bobbob1016Desktop-Kyle, Then where in the config can I get it to go in a virtual window?  Instead of resizing my desktop each time I run a program?03:13
roukounZiroday: yes i know that but i'd like to find a tutorial to learn about its contents and how to modify it safe03:13
FlannelCzarAlex: Ah, that'd be your problem then.  Do this: sudo a2enmod userdir && sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload03:13
Desktop-Kylebobbob1016, uncheck emulate virtual desktop03:14
FlannelCzarAlex: You didn't have the userdir module enabled (which is what handles the public_html stuff)03:14
Zirodayroukoun: are you sure you're meaning to refer to /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?03:14
CzarAlexFlannel, two separate commands right?03:14
FlannelCzarAlex: If you just copy that whole thing, the && will take care of it03:14
bobbob1016Desktop-Kyle, Maybe I'm not explaining myself.  I WANT a virtual desktop, so the program doesn't take the full screen.  My issue was that I couldn't get the window up.03:14
CzarAlexFlannel, wonderful03:14
roukounZiroday: /etc/X11/xorg.0.log03:15
Desktop-Kylebobbob1016, well, might wanna ask around, as i don't work with wine.03:15
JaseXroukoun: the file you refer to is just the output of X11 and it's output: i.e. whether or not its failing.03:15
HappyHaterroukoun, that's a log file03:15
CzarAlexFlannel, Perfect. Thank you very much!03:15
Flannelbobbob1016: You might have better luck with wine in #winehq03:15
Zirodayroukoun: that is a log file. It does not edit any settings. There is no point in changing it. You just read it to understand it03:15
JaseXroukoun: I believe you are looking to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf03:15
wersfor some reason, my system monitor is opaque now. hahahaha. it's the only app that i noticed to be like that so far. hehe. i'm using a murrine theme. any idea on how to adjust it?03:15

xeeHi, I have a simple question, when an application has two configuration files, one is system wide, in /etc/ and another per-user, in ~, if something is not specified in the per-user config file, should the value in the system wide one be used or what? or it depends on the application?04:07
phuzionNallep, yes, they are shared environments.04:07
phuzionNallep, some users have sudo, most do not though04:07
Flannelxee: thats generally a safe assumption, but the app could technically do whatever it wants04:07
DasEiIMaverick:could also use paketmanager (synaptic)04:07
codernatorFlannel - Still not sure if it's 386 or 686.   I know it's not K704:07
unopKoN8392, well, using nautilus under sudo is safe - just as long as you limit it's use - close the window down as soon as you're done04:07
Flannelcodernator: What kernel are you using?04:08
DasEicodernator: install n run hwinfo...04:08
Flannelcodernator: (currently) see uname -a (you can just paste that output here if you want)04:08
danbh_intrepidcodernator: that doesnt matter...04:08
Nallepphuzion: if you trust the users who do have sudo to not screw around with your other machine, then it should be fine as long as you turn off read permissions for others04:08
codernatorflannel: 38604:08
KoN8392okie dokie04:08
BladeMcCoolDaesei: cant find either package. dont worry about it i am giving up for now too tired to deal with this inane crap. when you hook up a new monitor it should jfw. peace04:09
unopxee, generally,  options passed to the program override those in user configuration files - which in turn override global configuration files04:09
greenmanwitchHello04:09
RyanPriorhello, greenmanwitch. Welcome to #ubuntu!@04:09
Nallepphuzion: but if you can't trust the super users, then keep your keys passworded and use ssh-agent04:09
Flannelcodernator: alright, have you changed your sources.list to use the old-release archive?04:09
xeeok, thanks Flannel and unop04:09
phuzionNallep, I feel like I can trust them, but the thing is I need a way to have this automated.  It's for a nightly backup script04:09

KoN8392argh! anyone know the trick to running gdesklets?04:10
Flannelcodernator: Alright, do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-standard linux-38604:10
Nallepphuzion: look into making ssh keys that can only execute one command then log out04:10
KoN8392I've moved the desklet folder to the proper directory, however I cant load the file!04:10
phuzionNallep, Like, a specific command, or just any one command?04:11
RyanPriorerror404notfound: Are you trolling?04:11
error404notfoundRyanPrior: sorry?04:11
Flannelcodernator: then reboot to grab the kernel update, after that, change your sources.list back to the archive ones, and change breezy to dapper.  Then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade04:12
unopKoN8392, I would refer to the gdesklets documentation04:12
Flannelcodernator: After that, you'll be on your way to dapper.  And then you can upgrade to hardy from here04:12

KoN8392cool04:12
codernatorflannel: could not resolve http://old-release.ubuntu.com04:12
RyanPriorerror404notfound: Emerald is no longer around. It's been merged back into Compiz. Windows themes do not work in Compiz - you need to get one specifically made. There are several Vista imitations if you look on deviantart, etc.04:12
error404notfoundkindofabuzz: I can't seem to find them when I search in emerald.04:12

danbh_intrepidathleone_: a start: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86773704:14
Flannelcodernator: that doesn't surprise me.  That was mostly to double check you were up to date (and those metapackages were installed)04:14
kindofabuzzerror404notfound, you have to look on the internet for themes, emerald theme manager doesn't download for you04:14
Flannelcodernator: So, you don't need to reboot (since theres no kernel change).  So go ahead and continue (changing sources to dapper, etc)04:14
Flannelcodernator: Also, one more thing.  once you get to hardy, you may want to consider using the -generic kernel (linux-generic) instead of linux-38604:14
athleonedanbh_interpid: what does that do?04:14
error404notfoundkindofabuzz: ahan... I was watching a video tutorial on youtube, and that guy had it, so I though may be emerald fetches a list from internet just like gnome-art-manager04:14

athleone_When I play games there is no sound anymore. How come?04:17
greenmanwitchHello04:17
RyanPriorathleone_: What games? What changed?04:17
phuzionNallep, so, what you're saying is one script to make the backup files, one script to send the files off, and one script to execute the file sending?  third script executes second, which executes the first04:17
athleoneRyanPrior: I used to have sound for Wormux. Now there is no sound.04:17
phuzionAnd the third script is called in with cron04:17
athleoneRyanPrior and yes, my sound is working well for everything other than games.04:18
RyanPriorathleone: Perhaps something is blocking the audio device. Does it work if you run it with pasuspender?04:18
Nallepphuzion: well depends on what your doing, I'd just put it all in one script and execute it all at once04:18

unopDecepticon, it sounds to be like you are using a virtual server - if that's the case, you won't be able to upgrade the kernel and other packages/modules that depend on the kernel version - so i guess that elemitates the possibility of upgrading to ubuntu+104:34

So I'll ask again here: I install virtualbox and I'm having trouble install Windows XP on my .vdi. The installation will begin, but halfway through Vbox will restart the installation from a prior point. It cannot finish installing, it always restarts to the same point every time. What's wrong?06:09
mr_bmhSir I had read the man mount also06:09

mr_bmhI did not understand why this partition could not mount06:09

_2DasEi which ?06:13
chalcedonydoes anyone know how to make an icon you created, appear in the Applications submenu, like where the xchat and pigeon icons are?06:13

octoberdangluonman: At that point I believe stuff has been installed, enough to be bootable06:14
gluonmanoctoberdan, if I start the .vdi, it takes me to the installation.06:14
_2DasEi because extended partitions don't have file systems   you don't format them.06:15
gluonmanoctoberdan, I'll try again, but so far I haven't gotten past the installation.06:15

unop_2, on most unices - deleting the password from an account is as good as disabling the account, because most systems are set to not allow a user to log on with a blank password (for obvious security reasons) - and it he can't log on, it makes no sense for the system to be usable anyhow - which probably explains why su (and perhaps sudo too) behave like this for you07:20
Daft_Punkbuy it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it, change it, melt, upgrade it07:21
jim_p_busyZorbaTHut: why change the mac address?07:21

bmocfairly simple for some of you probably. I went about installing ubuntu on my ntfs drive, with the standard "30 gig setup". (instead of making new partitions for it). Is there a way to enlarge the 30 gig's of space its sitting on, without starting over? its on a 320gig drive.07:33
Agent_bob!medibuntu > jim_p_busy07:33
ubottujim_p_busy, please see my private message07:33
Agent_bobbmoc you could make a larger file and migrate to it i guess....   there might even be a way to grow the fs-file....07:35
Agent_bobthe scba of the filesystem in a file is something i haven't actually played with.07:36
bmocAgent_bob, was a huge mistake on my part... I shoulda just wiped windows off... i dont care to start over, but i havn't booted into it in over 3 months. been trying to just save/work off the big drives space(/host/) but i'd love to be able to work "better" out of my home directory07:37
bmocthanks though.07:37
Agent_bobbmoc you do know that linux by nature can mount other file systems within it's own ?     i.e.  make another large file/filesystem  and mount it on /home07:38
Razerbladerwhat virtual os is the big one?07:38
kindofabuzzBig Virtual OS07:39
kindofabuzz=)07:39
Razerbladerkindofabuzz: vmware, or virtualbox?07:40
bmochmm, no I did not... ive basically got 2 drives... one 40gig ntfs with windows, one 320gig ntfs with ubuntu installed on it(yeh, silly me).07:40
vampirefrogany ATI users here?07:40
vampirefrogI need help testing an app I'm making :)07:40
Agent_bobvampirefrog not that i'd admit it.07:40
amanui have used aptoncd to get softwares installed in my system with out having net connection07:40
bmocis there any way to work mounting some space(maybe removing windows ;p and using the 40 gig) simply as my /home/ without having to start over?07:41
jim_p_busyvampirefrog: me!!!!07:41
vampirefrogAgent_bob: if u run "aticonfig -odgt" in a terminal, what do u get?07:41
fgdgfdhello, the logout/restart/shutdown/etc dialog.. how do i change those icons? whats their names? thanks07:41
vampirefrogjim_p_busy: u try that too, aticonfig -odgt or aticonfig --odgt07:41
amanunow its get stored as .iso file currently i have no disk to write how acn i use that softwares07:41
amanunow its get stored as .iso file currently i have no disk to write how can i use that softwares07:42
jim_p_busyfgdgfd: search in /usr/share/icons07:42
amanuany one07:42
amanupls07:42
jim_p_busyvampirefrog: i dont trust atis stuff, thank you07:42
Agent_bobbmoc no.   and that because you started with a filesystem inside a file located in a forgien filesystem...07:42
vampirefrogjim_p_busy: it's supposed to display gpu temperature but ok07:42
ZorbaTHutokay, any idea how to fix aptitude segfaulting? :P07:42
jim_p_busyvampirefrog: ati tool made a mess of my brilliant xorg file07:42
fgdgfdjim_p_busy, lol like searching the local drive :)07:43
ZorbaTHutsudo aptitude install git-core --> segfault07:43
vampirefrogjim_p_busy: then how about u just run aticonfig --help and pastebin the output07:43
amanuan ideas07:43
Agent_bobbmoc if you see the concept, it's like a box in a box in a box...07:43
amanui have used aptoncd to get softwares installed in my system with out having net connection07:43
Agent_bobbmoc if you destroy the outer box all is lost.07:43
TenebrysHey... I've got a problem that's kinda lingering after I removed my grub partition.07:43
TenebrysAfter I removed my ubuntu partition I mean.07:44
CKeycan i ask you something ?07:44
bmocAgent_bob, last question, if I could resize the 320gig partition, to say, 2 160gig partitions, could I mount the extra one as /home/?07:44
Agent_bobbmoc yes.07:44
Agent_bobbmoc very simple and effecient07:44
TenebrysIt goes like this.07:44
bmocAgent_bob, ty much. ;)07:44
amanucan we open .iso files to get contents in it07:45
Agent_bobbmoc welcome07:45
linuxhelp-Suppormorning from europe to ALL07:45
Agent_bobbmoc one final note07:45
unopZorbaTHut, does apt-get function fine?07:45
jdnewmilamanu: read man page on mount... search for "loop" option07:45
TenebrysEver since I installed Vista on top of my derelict (refusing to boot) Ubuntu partition, my grub bootloader is apparetnly still kinda around, but nonfunctional.07:45
unop!iso07:45
ubottuTo mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.07:45
unopamanu, ^^07:45
jim_p_busyvampirefrog: i wont ruin my xorg.conf again07:45
bmocAgent_bob, yes?07:45
amanui dont wanna write .iso file to disk in yust wanna open it and use its data07:45
TenebrysIf I reboot my system I get an "Error 17" error, unless I have a Vista CD in the drive that I can use to manually boot into Vista.07:46
amanujdnewmil:for that what can i type in terminal07:46
unopamanu, see what ubottu just said07:46
linuxhelp-Supporeverybody should use a seperated partition for /home07:46
vampirefrogjim_p_busy: as u wish. the --help line just displays usage anyway07:46
amanuok07:46
Agent_bobbmoc if you can resize the ntfs partition and make sufficient free space to contain all your linux system you can then migrate it to the new partition (takes a little work but imo worth it)   and then windows is free to remain or be removed at your discression.07:46
TenebrysI'm -guessing- that grub is still in the boot sector and has to be dug out somehow, just not sure where to poke or what program to use.07:46
brandonmpaceTenebrys: so you don´t have ubuntu, just vesta?07:46
CKeymy problem... in windows i install the drivers of my graphics card so i can change the resolution to 1280x.... but in ubuntu i can only select to 1024x768.. what can i do ?07:46

vampirefrogin soviet russia, the partition uses YOU as home07:47

Agent_bobbmoc welcome.07:48
brandonmpaceTenebrys: do a repair install with your vista disc and that´ll fix it07:48
linuxhelp-Suppori use command line irc07:48
TenebrysRepair install... hmmmmmm.  Would that do damage to existing files and setups?07:48
brandonmpaceno07:48
Agent_boblinuxhelp-Suppor the page-up not work ?07:48
brandonmpacejust make sure it only repairs the vista bootloader07:49
BrainyiscoolAny ideas?  Should I resend my question?07:49
TenebrysAlright.  I'll at least give that a try... though it's disheartening that vista didn't get itself right on the first install cycle.07:49
linuxhelp-Suppori do not often use console-irc but at my work i must use07:49
TenebrysI'll be back soon.07:49

RufusI just upgraded my server from 6 to 8 and now all I get is BusyBox v1.1.3 and an (initramfs) screen. All my stuff is on this server. HELP!!!!07:56
TenebrysNo luck.  And here's the odd part.07:57
brandonmpaceRufus: can you use an ubuntu desktop live cd an copy it off?07:58
amanuhow can i mount .iso file in ubuntu07:58
RufusI might be able to, but I'd really like to fix this07:58
TenebrysI used the Vista bootloader modifier "EasyBCD" earlier to configure my system so that I could boot either Vista or XP.07:58
hateball!info gnome-mount | amanu07:58
brandonmpaceRufus: would be a good idea to do that first just in case07:58
ubottuamanu: gnome-mount (source: gnome-mount): wrapper for (un)mounting and ejecting storage devices. In component main, is optional. Version 0.8~svn20080225-0ubuntu4 (hardy), package size 69 kB, installed size 904 kB07:58
Rufuswell, that could be a little difficult, you see I have about 1tb of data on this server, and not enough HDD space anywhere else07:59
TenebrysIt didn't appear to fix the problem with grub either, even though it -did- add XP to the selector screen that I get if I boot the computer with a Vista disk in the drive and wait for the "press any key to boot from CD" timer to run out.07:59
amanuhateball:i want to mount .iso file in my desktop how can i?07:59
airtonixamanu, gnome-mount08:00
litelhi how to destroy mi swap seem to don't work, and maybe make linux crash, what should i do ?08:00
amanu gnome-mount "after that any thing /text needed"08:00
TenebrysEssentially, I can't reach the Vista bootloader by trying to boot from my hard-drive, but I can reach the Vista bootloader if I've inserted the Vista CD..08:00
Agent_bobamanu mount -o loop file.iso /some/where08:00
airtonixamanu, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_mount.2Funmount_Image_.28ISO.29_files_without_burning08:00
airtonixamanu, although its a page for edgey the commands are still the same08:01
amanuAgent_bob:ok i will try now08:01
airtonixamanu, you can discover how to use partcular commands with $ man command08:01
TenebrysIf I try to boot straight from my hard-drive, it says "grub loading... error 17" and I can't get through.08:01
airtonixamanu, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_mount.2Funmount_Image_.28ISO.29_files_without_burning08:02
airtonixamanu, follow that...three steps required08:02
TenebrysIt's done this ever since I replaced my Ubuntu partition with Windows Vista.08:02
brandonmpaceTenebrys: did you try the repair install?08:02
xyeanyone know why my mouse won't work when i'm trying install ubuntu with a dual boot? i get stuck at step 4 or wahtever trying to set the partition space08:02
airtonixamanu, or you can take the easy way out and use the gui : gnome-mount08:02
TenebrysYou mean the startup repair?08:02
TenebrysI did.  It said no problems found.08:02
brandonmpaceTenebrys: hmm08:02
TenebrysI also tried bootsect.exe.08:02
amanuairtonix  gui : gnome-mount how to get this08:03
Agent_bobTenebrys partition numbers changed ?08:03
airtonixamanu, sudo apt-get install gnome-mount08:03
amanuya im installing  sudo apt-get install gnome-mount08:03
airtonixamanu, is if not called gnome-mount you can use : apt-cache search iso | grep mount08:03
brandonmpaceTenebrys: that error usually means that it can´t find the partition that the boot files are on. (your linux partition)  which you deleted, correct?08:03
amanui installed08:03
TenebrysYeah.  But it also means that grub is still buried somewhere, and I need to go in with a scalpel and pick it out, and replace it with whatever's supposed to be there instead.08:04
amanudoes this statement mean " 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 115 not upgraded." its not installed08:04
brandonmpaceTenebrys: you need to find a way to install the vista bootloader to the mbr.  grub is in your mbr08:04
RufusI'm trying recovery mode08:04
Agent_bobTenebrys MBR08:04
airtonixamanu, for the record, you havent installed any special drivers or anything...al you have installed is a frontend gui that holds your hand when mounting / unmounting  iso images08:04
airtonixamanu, that statement means you already have gnome-mount installed08:05
TenebrysAhhhh.08:05
amanuok then what to do?08:05
airtonixamanu, look in your application menu08:05
Rufusis there any way of undoing an upgrade from 6 to 8?08:05
Agent_bobRufus heh i wish.08:05
brandonmpacelol08:05
brandonmpaceme too08:05
Rufusaaaaaarh08:06
RufusI'm going to kill my self if I can't get this working08:06
amanuairtonix: in applications-> where to get08:06
Tenebryshmmmmm...08:06
amanuaccesories,internet?08:06
TenebrysSo essentially Microsoft should (hopefully) have a program for rebuilding the MBR?08:06
amanuairtonix:accesories,internet?08:06
RufusFKKKKKK08:06
SkywaIkerDoes ubuntu support cluster computing ?08:07
Agent_bobRufus linux is developed on the itialian racing theory.   "what is behind you is not important"08:07
brandonmpaceRufus: if you have a smaller empty hard disk you can put that in there and install to it while also using the partitions off of the terabyte drive for the data that´s already there08:07
airtonixamanu, sorry my bad...that prog doesnt put a option in your menus08:07
amanuairtonix:i cant get what u said08:07
brandonmpaceTenebrys: yes google it.  maybe something like fixmbr i believe08:08
Agent_bobSkywaIker linux is a clustering os yes08:08
airtonixamanu, i mean : the program you just installed does not create menu entry08:08
airtonixamanu, you actually want  sudo apt-get install gmountiso08:08
airtonix!gmountiso| amanu08:08
amanuok can i try this sudo apt-get install gmountiso08:08
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about gmountiso08:08
Rufuswhat does this mean? "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/5f53ea6d-f1a1-42e9-837f-d6f49433095c does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"08:08
amanuya its getting installed08:08
brandonmpaceit can´t find the disk08:09
TenebrysAlright, I'll have a look.  Thanks!08:09
Rufusbut the disk is there08:09
airtonixamanu, gmountiso will be in applications -> system tools08:09
Rufusit was all working 10 minutes ago08:09
RufusFK08:09
amanuyes i opened it08:09
Agent_bobRufus means the initramfs can't find a filesystem with that UUID08:09
RufusAgnent_bob: and how do I fix that?08:09
brandonmpaceRufus: for future reference, when upgrading it is always safer to back up data and do a clean install08:10
amanuhere its asking to things08:10
Agent_bobRufus rebuild the initramfs.img file ...08:10
Stofferhow do I edit gru to change my default boot partition?08:10
fenerli7 I want to use Linux (Ubuntu being my choice of distro for now) however after experimenting, I've noticed that I need NVIDIA 177.xx drivers or put up with terrible 2D performance (or use nv and have no 3D). Should I use the alpha Intrepid or Hardy and manually install the newer driver?08:10
Stoffergrub*08:10
Rufushow bob>08:10
airtonixamanu, might want to save this webpage to your home folder for future reference: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy08:10
amanuwhat does mount point mean?08:10
amanuok i will08:10
Rufusit's on a raid 1 array, does that make a difference? it's a hardware raid card08:10
airtonixamanu, a mount point is where the devie will be exposed for access to you...its almost always a folder you create08:11
amanuwhat does mount point mean?08:11
fenerli7amanu: mount point is the directory you want the partition to store the contents of08:11
amanuok08:11
Agent_bobRufus well "i would," finsih the boot process, by manually mounting the root fs   and exiting the initramfs busybox shell....  you will probably boot a live cd and work on it in a chrooted environment08:11
airtonixfenerli7, 'store' is the proper description08:11

B3z3rk3rxye, if you hit tab that should take u to the next input box.. eliminating the need for a mouse08:27
fenerli7xye: why do you need to slide the slider, can't you manually calcualte the values (e.g. start point, size, end point)?08:27

fenerli7gparted is on that08:29

FedererRogerIrrelevant08:49
JaseXbrandonmpace: not necessarily... if you chop out crap like openoffice and evolution and the likes.08:49
JaseXrelevant sir.08:49
unoptenX, dist-upgrade is no longer recommended so you shouldn't be using it - use do-release-upgrade instead - but if you dist-upgraded (by any means) a newer kernel is installed - which makes sense - packages in newer versions of ubuntu rely on newer versions of the kernel08:49

JaseXYOU cannot forget about the space.08:49
Massiv0rCan anyone confirm me that Lineage2 (Interlude Chronicle) isn't able to run @ wine even if the server has no gameguard?08:49
