[00:00] Charili`` if it starts going faster you should replace it to avoid a short cuircuit [00:00] and buy a new heatsink [00:00] daklan: yes, and I even bought a notebook cooler which its sitting on now [00:00] charlie`` it might be the fan imo i think it shorted [00:00] charlie``: also, have you checked whether your processor throttles its speed properly? [00:00] hello [00:00] hi el3allali [00:00] did it work? [00:00] charlie``: what model is it? [00:00] ThexLeopard, it doesn't work even when specifying the path :( [00:00] raulh: thanks for your help, thanks for other too [00:01] daklan: its a Thinkpad t43p [00:01] is the computer youre trying to connect to switched on? [00:01] np [00:01] i had the same prob [00:01] etherealpanda: searched on the internet, it says the remote is fully supported (true), but mine is not always working [00:01] charlie``: some laptops have acpi issues. especially lenovo/ibm [00:01] and the low resolutions are annnnoooying lol [00:01] hi [00:01] How do I test midi out? midi in works [00:01] ThexLeopard, I've tried both smb://computername/share and smb://ip.address/share with no luck. Yes the pc is turned on lol [00:01] daklan: should I just disable acpi? [00:01] raulh: it's fine now, it started with 480/340 , but i could set it to 1024 now [00:01] how to automount a (windows) ntfs drive - editing /etc/fstab or is there a more user friendly way?

[00:02] Max-P: I'm not seeing anyone complaining about the driver not working properly. Have you checked your dmesg for errors? Does it work after a restart? [00:02] bleh, hear* [00:02] charlie``: you can disable it temporarily by setting acpi=off at boot time [00:02] ThexLeopard, yes, I was able to do this in windows prior to installing ubuntu on my moms laptop. [00:02] i 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 allocs [00:02] charlie``: see if that makes a difference [00:02] hello people :D [00:02] D3RGPS31: is it the server that wont recognize it [00:02] D3RGPS31: or the browser? [00:02] what firewall you got on the windows computer? [00:02] D3RGPS31: server [00:02] D3RGPS31: it might be that the server dosn't use .htaccess files [00:02] daklan: I googled the problem not with my laptop though, I think I just seen a page that looks promising, thanks [00:02] hello [00:02] i am from spain [00:03] raulh: yes it's possible to get higher, but it's fine, whene i'm working with many apps, i can set higher def [00:03] ThexLeopard, 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] el3allali well glad it's working for you, cheers mate. [00:03] are you running windows on the pc youre trying to take the files off? [00:03] Raulh: what else would apache2 use? where can i find out? [00:03] etherealpanda I will try to restart again, looks to happen in the same time the touchpad stop working correctly [00:03] i'd just installed this operating system this evening on my computer [00:03] :) [00:03] ThexLeopard, no, I'm trying to access the windows share from an ubuntu laptop. [00:03] now it's 1:03 am [00:03] D3RGPS31: php files? [00:03] on the home screen [00:03] what would a decent swapfile size be for a laptop woth 512 ram? [00:04] which OS are the files on [00:04] *with [00:04] raulh: 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] on the home page* [00:04] ThexLeopard, Windows XP [00:04] hhow do you create a new folder [00:04] i find this operating system very good [00:04] Max-P: yeah, restarting to fix it is a bad solution, but it should help narrow down the problem [00:04] hola [00:04] csilk: depends on how you use your laptop. you can probably set it at 1gb for now [00:04] raulh: i'm new to linux, i still don't know lot of commands [00:04] Funoost, mkdir dir_name [00:04] gnu-ubuntu 8.04 [00:04] el3allali: now i'm lost there haha. [00:04] and windows is running on the computer youre trying to access? [00:04] csilk: usually a good estimate would be twice the size of your ram [00:04] ThexLeopard, yeah [00:04] Raulh: have any links to help me set it for htaccess D= [00:05] and theres no firewall on the windows computer? [00:05] but anything bigger than 2gb is overkill on a laptop [00:05] daklan, mainly software developement, nothing mroe instense than compiling really [00:05] ill see wat i can dig up [00:05] *more [00:05] ThexLeopard, no firewall at all, even the windows firewall is disabled. [00:05] etherealpanda I dont know if there is a link with my problem, but looks my touchpad is not in the xorg.conf :S [00:05] how do you copy files [00:05] \o/ life is good! [00:05] its cp isnt it [00:05] hmm [00:05] Funoost, yes [00:05] are your permissions set correctly? [00:05] csilk: your activities are more RAM-intensive. swapping won't occur that often. i suggest 1gb [00:05] D3RGPS31:, can you show me your htaccess file's code? [00:05] daklan, thanks [00:05] ThexLeopard, yeah, they're the same permissions I had prior to installing ubuntu, just read access no write on that share. [00:05] daklan good swap space is always below what your real ram is [00:06] usualy 620 is just fine [00:06] hi [00:06] Max-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-laptops [00:06] I 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 :D [00:06] RaulH: yes [00:06] ok, you can either try restarting and trying again, or hosting a windows share on the ubuntu computer and trying to go the other way [00:06] raulh: 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 default [00:06] Max-P, It's got a section on how to configure the touchpad [00:06] copying the files on the windows computer to the ubuntu computer [00:06] raulh: depending on your computer's purpose, swap space can be equal or greater than your available ram [00:06] do you just do cp * [directory]? [00:06] 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] yeah but swap is rarely used [00:07] ThexLeopard, I tried creating a share in ubuntu prior, but got an error that I've no permissions to do so :/ [00:07] sorry con someone help me? [00:07] if i wanna copy everything [00:07] atleast for me it rarely gets used.. [00:07] raulh: for example, dbase servers usually need more swap space than most desktops [00:07] yeah i got that rofl [00:07] hang on [00:07] RaulH:http://pastebin.com/mab0d01d [00:07] raulh: nvidia xserver doesn't have permission to write on xorg.conf [00:07] lol ok [00:07] Funoost: * won't match things that start with a '.'.

[00:08] i have a virus in my parttion of windows and i cant do anything there, so can i clean the virus from ubuntu [00:08] well thats also true [00:08] but then again i got 8gigs of ram [00:08] so meh.. :| [00:08] jrib how do i copy directories as well [00:08] superroca, try clamav [00:08] RaulH: didn't help D= [00:08] aww d3rgps31 [00:08] i have the same as superroca [00:08] pm me [00:08] raulh: what processor do you have?

[00:11] raulh: umm your talking about Windows there [00:11] nope [00:11] ubuntu won't do it [00:11] el3allali, yes, but why don't you install in your main hd? [00:11] you'll need to install the kernel [00:11] raulh: of course it would [00:11] how can i find out what my network card is? :D [00:11] it dosn't work on newer versions [00:11] hey guys, is there an ntfsundelete equivalent for fat32?

Some motherboards (older ones) don't have that [00:13] Hi, 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 awsome [00:13] el3allali: as long as the mobo supports boot off usb, it will be alright [00:13] el3allali: if your computer can read usb's as a boot [00:13] then you should be able to [00:13] thats what they mean [00:13] el3allali: some mobos don't support USB device booting [00:13] check your bios [00:13] i am trying to compile a c script using gcc ang i am getting errors like the following: << Desktop/name_of_the_script.c:155: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘memcpy’>>> [00:14] Schuenemann: yes i'm sure USB BOOT :-) [00:14] Decocde: acetone =D [00:14] is there somewhere i can get VLC 0.9.2 extract and run version for ubuntu 8.04. do not tell to use some sudo things because i know now that portable software works on ubuntu, just tested filezilla and Blender - so portable software works on linux and there is no argue against it [00:14] el3allali, well, then there's no problem [00:14] D3RGPS31: thanks, ill look into that [00:14] el3allali: you just might need to tell ubuntu installer to install the MBR in the right spot [00:14] ciao [00:14] roukoun: you'll have to show someone that particular piece of code. your source code's syntax might be incorrect [00:14] !list [00:14] Hi!

I have some files in the www folder that I want to delete. How can I do this? [00:17] uffo: yes they have portable apps vlc doesn't have the option [00:17] Schuenemann: witch option do i have to choose ? [00:17] kitche: this is example that portable works [00:17] roukoun: gnu libs and windows libs have some sort of incompatibility. is your source code written originally for MS? [00:17] uffo: and your point being? [00:18] kitche: this is future for all software and it wont damage main system libraries too [00:18] el3allali, 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 mbr [00:18] uffo: if you want portable vlc then use this http://portableapps.free.fr/exe/VLC_TV_Portable_0.8.6f_Fr.exe [00:18] kitche: it is windows thing [00:18] uffo: ok your telling somone that already knows all of this so what's your point?

[00:19] Thanks for all who helped me , have a good time [00:19] histo: it SHOULD be set with +t already, so you shouldn't touch it if it is already [00:19] daklan: I just added the t but its highlighted green and that is normal? [00:19] kitche: currently blender works this way i extract and run it do not argue against that, portable is future [00:19] daklan: no [00:19] o0Chris0o, probably it did not end yet [00:19] o0Chris0o: that's how downloads work. the .part goes away when it is complete [00:20] Is anyone here familiar with a bug in knetworkmanager using ndiswrapper that freezes an attempted connection at configuration (at about 28%)?

[00:33] HymnToLife, how can I know which ones? This thing is messed up [00:33] kitche: atleast i have hope that more and more people will build more static software like blender and filezilla. it is future if computer is offline and software is usable in different ubuntu versions in future too. look how much windows software can be carried out to other computers, even military needs this type system.

Can anyone help me out === FAJALOU1 is now known as FAJALOU [00:49] 3/leave [00:49] er [00:49] Is there a way to restart pulse without restarting my whole session? [00:50] It seems something to do with youtube doesn't like it, and any time I attempt to listen to mp3 or watch an avi after you tube results in it just not playing [00:50] no error messages, no nothing. [00:50] Hello, 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? [00:52] In 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? [00:53] psynophile: sticky key affects the first password entry maybe? [00:54] Flynsarmy Maybe it's virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r` manually in the terminal? [00:54] IntuitiveNipple: huh, what's "sticky key"? [00:54] oh, duh, sorry, you mean a sticky key [00:55] wouldn't that kick me back to "Username:" because the password would be wrong? [00:55] psynophile: 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 it [00:55] EvilDaemon, 2.6.24-19-generic [00:55] psynophile: usually it gives three attempts on password, doesn't it? [00:56] IntuitiveNipple: 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] No one can help with pulse? [00:56] IntuitiveNipple: Like this: username:, password: , password: [00:56] psynophile: I see what you mean... on a console itself [00:57] IntuitiveNipple: yea, on a virtual console [00:57] IntuitiveNipple: I'm just worried it's a trojan or rootkit trying to get my password [00:58] psynophile: 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] psynophile: check /var/log/auth.log for clues [00:59] IntuitiveNipple: this started happening almost immediately after i did this: 1) Installed the system 2) updated 3) let it sit for a weekend [00:59] psynophile: Does it happen when the system is first started and you get the GUI prompt? [01:00] I 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. I'm in no hurry..but is that something that'd help me? Perhaps a "php installable", something along the lines of wordpress or joomla..but instead a customizable query page? [01:01] None 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? [01:02] IntuitiveNipple: nope, GUI logs in fine. This only happens at a virtual console [01:02] IntuitiveNipple: auth.log looks fine to me [01:02] * dtrask is away: Be back in a minute === dtrask is now known as dtrask-away [01:02] Is that the problem Anusien.

I'm wanting to create a page to simplfy quering and such. I'm in no hurry..but is that something that'd help me? Perhaps a "php installable", something along the lines of wordpress or joomla..but instead a customizable query page? [01:02] I cant get pulseaudio to restart either, it's driving me bonkers [01:03] JuzzyD: that's what I've been told/read on some of the forums, but there doesn't seem to be a fix [01:04] hi [01:04] matt____1: err, what do you mean ? [01:04] matt____: You could build a simple page around this: http://uk.php.net/function.mysql-query [01:04] JuzzyD: because Adobe won't release a stable version of flash for linux... [01:04] some podcast feeds can not be read with rhythmbox in hardy. in older rhythmbox versions the problem didn't exist. how to fix please ? [01:04] hello [01:05] are there any media server software for linux ? === ortsvorsteher is now known as automatix [01:05] linxeh: I have a small contacts DB that i want to be able to search over html. I want to create a small website that I can type things into, and thuse query the server.I think that this is what PHP is for, no? But I don't know php. [01:05] psynophile: If you fail a log-in the auth.log will show something like: "Sep 21 00:56:12 hephaestion login[7022]: FAILED LOGIN (1) on 'tty1' FOR `tj', Authentication failure" [01:05] By err of Adept, I now have no running network managers, and can't even ping my router using bash [01:05] What the hell am I supposed to do? [01:06] /msg ubottu etiquette [01:06] psynophile: so is there an answer to this problem besides reboot? [01:06] matt____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 work [01:07] Anusien: is the system using pulse-audio? maybe you need to restart the pa session server? [01:07] psynophile: 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? [01:08] is there a way to change the beige default color of all the windows? Not the titlebars, the windows themselves [01:08] psynophile: A form! That's essentially what I want...i think. [01:08] Damion1890: Fine. I'm sorry for using an explicitive. [01:08] matt____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.. [01:09] psynophile: Hmm...perhaps... [01:09] But 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] matt____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] IntuitiveNipple: I have no idea, how can I check? [01:09] matt___1: I mean if I wanted to code it myself, I'd just write the whole frickin thing myself... [01:10] Right now, Vista is looking like a gleaming example of excellent software compared to Ubuntu, in my eyes [01:10] Anusien: "ps -ef | grep pulse" - you should see two pulse processes [01:10] Pyth_: I guess. Hmm...but then again..not really what I want...I have a contacts database...and I hope to be able to use it over ssh. I've been doing the selet * from ~~~~~ crap that takes forever to type out. I need a simpler cli solution I think. [01:10] is there a way to change the beige default color of all the windows? Not the titlebars, the windows themselves [01:10] matt___1: IMO, it's just a simple db, It's easier to just code it by hand or use a framework like ruby on rais or django or cake [01:11] Politics: Ubuntu *is* different and takes some time to get used to, have you had it long? [01:11] psynophile: So do you have any cli suggestions?/ [01:11] matt____: I think this is what you need: http://myclient.polarlava.com/ [01:11] I'm used to the layout and basics [01:11] IntuitiveNipple: Nope, no processes there [01:11] but, chalcedony, my problem is with the torrent of issues I've had to deal with. [01:12] Anusien: Is it a Hardy system? [01:12] Politics: i just got here, and i'm sorry to hear that.. my upgrade to Hardy would have made me leave [01:12] is there a way to change the beige default color of all the windows? Not the titlebars, the windows themselves [01:12] IntuitiveNipple: I think so. Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (with the Mythbuntu packages as well) [01:12] Now I need a way to recover my connection after Adept failed to reinstall knetworkmanager from kwlan, yet managed to removed kwlan [01:12] IntuitiveNipple: Perhaps...but doesn't really solve my cli over ssh issue. I guess what I really need to do is somehow create a query I can use over ssh, instead of "select all from ***~~~;", I can just type "lastname "name" or something like that. [01:13] I can't even ping 192.168.1.1 [01:13] i wish it was as easy to ignore someone in xchat as it was in xchat-gnome - how do i ignore someone? [01:13] Where can I find the file for all info for users and groups for ldap? [01:13] Yet ifconfig shows an eth1 connection [01:14] Anusien: try restarting it: /usr/bin/pulseaudio --log-target=syslog& [01:14] hi, i am having problems with my d-link card, it's an atheros chipset, but isn't seemingly working with madwifi, or ndiswrapper, any thoughts? [01:14] Politics: you're using Kubuntu ? [01:14] Also, chalcedony: You wouldn't happen to be the chalcedony I know? [01:14] Yes [01:14] Switched over to KDE recently [01:14] Politics: maybe :) is yours female ? [01:15] and Politics there is also a #kubuntu (which may or may not have helpful wide-awake people, but if it does they are usually helpful [01:15] matt____: you could use mysql query browser over an SSH X-forwarding session (ssh -X user@host /usr/bin/mysql-query-browser) [01:15] IntuitiveNipple: psynophile Is bash compatible with mysql..or just sql language in general? [01:15] thethirdmoose: System->Preferences->Appearance->Theme->Customize...->Colors->Windows->Background (click color box) [01:15] he could just do 'mysql -e ' [01:15] Aye, I'll give that a try. [01:15] Thanks. [01:15] how can I give PHP more memory? [01:15] IntuitiveNipple: no such file or directory as /usr/bin/pulseaudio. And I'll point out that sound used to work, so it's not a case of something being terribly screwed up from the start [01:16] hi, i am having problems with my d-link card, it's an atheros chipset, but isn't seemingly working with madwifi, or ndiswrapper, any thoughts? [01:16] thanks, billstei [01:16] phxheat: mysql -e? [01:16] Anusien: okay. I thought it might have crashed without you knowing. That would restart it. I thought Hardy had pulseaudio as default though [01:16] matt___1: if you're on the command line, you could just do this: mysql -e 'select * from lastname where lastname=$1' [01:16] I have added the home/computer/trash to the desktop but I can't get the icon theme to change.. Other folders I add to the desktop will follow the selected theme except for these three. How do I change them? [01:17] or something like that [01:17] psynophile: from a terminal..or do I have to logon to mysql first? [01:17] matt___1: nope [01:17] matt___1: if there's a password, which you should have [01:18] psynophile: So I COULD potentially write a bash file using that? So I could write variables, just as push 1 for query by last name, 2 for first name, etc? [01:18] matt___1: you could write a simple bash... [01:18] matt___1: there you go, yea [01:18] psynophile: THANK YOU. So what is the "languge"? Simple sql plus the -e? [01:19] how can I give the application PHP more memory on my server? [01:19] psynophile: What exactly does the -e do? [01:19] matt___1: you may have to store your mysql username and password in the script, which sucks, but if you gotta do it, you gotta do it [01:19] Enter text here...hy everybody [01:19] matt___1: yea, it's just mysql -u -p -e [01:20] matt____: if connecting to a remote system you'll also need -h [01:20] psynophile: No..I think I could probably incorporate variabless...echo and read...and then get it to insert the password each time after typing it. [01:20] matt___1: if your database name is 'employees', it'd be like this: mysql -u yourusername -p yourpassword employees -e 'select * from tablename where lastname=$1' [01:20] I just downloaded the Fotoxx tar.gz package but I can not install the sowftware from the Desktop [01:21] brb, reboot [01:21] somebody can help [01:21] please [01:21] matt___1: or something like that, adjust it to fit your environment [01:21] $1 is the variable that I've just "read" after an echo, right? [01:21] psynophile: Oh shoot. It's been so long since I've bashed something like that...I'll have to relearn the variables. [01:21] matt___1: $1 $2 $3 are the sequential variables [01:22] * ElijahDuBarryVT I'll be back! [01:22] psynophile, matt____, are you writing a shell script? because if you are positional parameters are not expanded in single quotes [01:22] IntuitiveNipple: Anyway, if I suspect one application is hogging ALSA, how do I stop it? [01:22] matt__1: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html [01:22] psynophile: but I could use $last, etc? right? [01:22] matt____: if you can set up a VPN tunnel (openssh for example) between the systems, you can use 'mysql' directly with -h without needing to use ssh client. [01:22] Hello all [01:23] Anusien: hogging alsa? what do you mean? [01:23] i'm new be for Ubuntu! [01:23] unop: I'm just trying to give him the general idea, hopefully he can take it from there... [01:23] IntuitiveNipple: but that'll defeat the purpose. [01:23] matt____, $last wouldn't be a valid bash variable - but you could declare it yourself [01:23] IntuitiveNipple: I remember an old issue (and saw reference to it on a help page for what I'm looking at) that this issue seems eerily familiar to one where something is hogging alsa [01:23] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bug/68187/comments/51 [01:23] Launchpad bug 68187 in amarok ""xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers." error" [Medium,Confirmed] [01:23] Can anyone help me with setting up and installing a wifi card. [01:24] matt____: whichever method you use, you've got to connect to the remote server. Trying to keep the client-side as simple as possible would be my goal, since that increases flexibility.

[01:38] unop: I'm having troubles understanding the double quotes...perhaps a pastebin my friend? [01:38] dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [01:38] unop: http://pastebin.com/d349872b [01:38] -*+ [01:38] <_Zeus_> ZoneOUT: run that command [01:38] ZoneOUT: sudo dpkg --configure -a [01:39] belkinhelp2: Is the problem just that you aren't getting the correct driver / screen resolution? What is this about two drives? [01:39] then I get another error... [01:39] matt____: read this: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/quoting.html [01:39] matt____, http://pastebin.com/d61494ffd [01:39] qustion, dvd drive suddenly stops existing, it dosen't seem to be able to boot with anything in the drive, and sudo mount /media/cdrom0/ -o unhide reports that it cannot find anything in ftab [01:39] Jordan_U....I change the settings only to find they have reverted back to VESA generic for the graphic card and PnP [01:39] or whatnot [01:39] for the monitor [01:40] ppp [01:40] belkinhelp2: Where are you changing the settings? [01:40] Its one of those ghosted silly simplistic pheonix laptop bioses so I can't see if the bios reads the cd drive [01:40] Jordan_U....screens and graphics [01:40] unop: Double check that for me please..im' not sure that the LN is correctly quoted.. [01:40] Jordan_U....system.administration.screens and graphics [01:40] dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege [01:41] ZoneOUT: try it again with sudo [01:41] belkinhelp2: What version of Ubuntu are you using, screens and graphics doesn't really work very well ( it's not even shown in the most recent version of Ubuntu ) [01:41] I figured that out ;) [01:41] j #ubuntu-tr [01:41] so sudo is like su [01:41] matt____, $LN is correctly quoted there, with single quotes - but that's then enclosed in double-quotes - as part of the bigger expression. [01:41] #ubuntu-tr [01:41] sorry :( [01:42] how can join a channel? [01:42] cok_yasa_kamil, /j #ubuntu-tr [01:42] Jordan_U....Gutsy Gibbon [01:42] thanks psynophile.. [01:42] unop: I don't see the starting quotes for it..? [01:42] cok_yasa_kamil: /join #channel name [01:42] su logs you in as root, sudo runs a single command with elevated privileges [01:42] Jordan_U....7.10 i think [01:42] thanks :) [01:42] matt____, note how this entire expression is quoted. "select * from Contacts.Contacts where Last = '$LN'" [01:42] ZoneOUT: wait, so what's up? Is anything working? [01:43] belkinhelp2: Any reason you aren't using 8.04? It may solve your problem [01:43] !paste [01:43] 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) [01:43] whats a good mounting GUI-based utility for ubtuntu? [01:43] Bajoran, nautilus itself [01:43] <_Zeus_> Bajoran: it should do it automatically? [01:43] What is the default password for "su"? [01:43] Jordan_U....good question [01:43] !root | mn [01:43] mn: 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 [01:43] <_Zeus_> !root [01:43] ZoneOUT: 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 drivers [01:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/48746/ should I do anything about this [01:43] <_Zeus_> crap! [01:44] unop: ohh...right. But I'm not sure this is running correctly..when I run...it doesn't actually show the data.. [01:44] Jordan_U....i only have this problem because i swapped hard drives [01:44] sort 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] its the same graphic card AND monitor from the old PC [01:44] IntuitiveNipple: alsa reload didn't do it, but alsa force-reload killed the processes holding onto alsa [01:44] ZoneOUT: Just a good idea to make sure you clean up any errors that you get, so yea...do that [01:44] wow, thnx unop [01:44] Jordan_U....I dont understand why its not recognizing the hardware I was using before the switch [01:44] So 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 read [01:44] belkinhelp2: What do you mean? Is it the same install just on a different drive? Because that shouldn't make any difference [01:44] will it effect my java [01:45] t [01:45] if i move a WoW (installed with wine) to a 'Games' folder in /home, would that affect its functionality? [01:45] matt____, 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] I need java installed+ right for scho [01:45] ol [01:45] sorry my daughters messing with the keybaord. [01:45] ZoneOUT: probably... [01:45] Jordan_U....its the same install, on the same hard drive put into a new PC. I am using the old graphics card and monitor though [01:45] Hi 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] unop: http://pastebin.com/m2530503e [01:45] ZoneOUT: try to do sudo apt-get -y install cabextract now [01:45] Jordan_U....so there is no reason for it to do this. [01:45] <_Zeus_> anom01y: shouldn''t be [01:45] unop: is the only difference between sudo su and sudo -i is that su preserves your directory? [01:45] <_Zeus_> are you running other stuff? [01:46] no just firefox with 3 or 4 tabs, kopete [01:46] <_Zeus_> anom01y: can you chack out the output of top? [01:46] that last paste was the results of that. [01:46] <_Zeus_> !top | anom01y [01:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about top [01:46] computer gets very non responsive, you hit a key to type swomething and it takes 1 second to appear [01:46] Jordan_U....should i use the frame buffer interface in Configuring xserver-xorg ? [01:46] I don't accually have access to this computer right now [01:46] <_Zeus_> anom01y: please come back when you do [01:46] belkinhelp2: Did you use screens and graphics on your initial install? [01:47] ok [01:47] ZoneOUT: lookin but I'm not seeing... [01:47] Jordan_U....sure [01:47] ZoneOUT: Just go to terminal and type 'cabextract' [01:47] Jordan_U....i changed settings around plenty of times for the past year or so [01:47] belkinhelp2: Use the default ( in fact you can generate a default config no questions asked with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh ) [01:47] mn, 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 -i [01:47] ZoneOUT: does it say 'no cabinet files specified...'? [01:47] matt____: pastebin the current script version [01:48] IntuitiveNipple: http://pastebin.com/m12ead4ee [01:48] ZoneOUT: or does it say 'command not found'? [01:48] is there a rep with a newer kernel version for hardy? [01:48] mcquaid: Why do you want a newer kernel version? [01:48] /dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 [01:49] would that work? [01:49] if the partition was /dev/sda1 [01:49] matt____, try fine tuning the mysql command so it works from the command line before putting it in a script. [01:49] unop: Good idea... [01:49] mcquaid: the proposed-updates repo has 2.6.24-21-generic [01:49] matt____: 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] in ftap [01:49] unop: with no variables....right? [01:49] matt____, right [01:50] cause i'm using this wifi usb adapter which driver (zd1211) has known issues in 2.6.24 [01:50] IntuitiveNipple: I seem to remember that about the password... [01:50] and it's had various fixes in 2.6.26 [01:50] mcquaid: enable proposed-updates, it might be in there... [01:50] IntuitiveNipple, that wouldn't work - the mysql command would see the entire quoted expression as one option/argument [01:51] IntuitiveNipple: Oh snap! It worked. [01:51] mcquaid: the fixes, i mean [01:51] unop: It did work! [01:51] matt____, what worked? [01:51] I've got a mess here.. [01:51] yes it says command not found.' [01:51] ZoneOUT: okay, it's NOT installed, then [01:51] unop: what IntuitiveNipple told me...about the -ppassword and quotes... [01:51] unop: Yes it will. try it and see [01:51] naw i seached updates [01:51] ZoneOUT: sudo apt-get -y install cabextract [01:52] hi [01:52] yes I realize that.. alright then it trys to install java and the cab and I get a text document [01:52] whats the command to switch directory in bash [01:52] s/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 kern [01:52] Bash removes the "..." quotes when it processes the command-line [01:52] matt____, i was referring to "--password=something" [01:52] Bajoran: cd [01:52] unop: Yes, that works [01:52] unop: it worked... [01:52] IntuitiveNipple, well, it's not normal - but i guess if it works, it works [01:53] thx [01:53] question: Is there a way to use a computer to phone someone's home phone [01:53] unop: It is... that's what bash does [01:53] says the licence agreement then has okay do I type something to accept [01:53] or hit a command I've tried enter. [01:53] Jordan_U....ugh....how do i go back to a previous menu [01:53] Jordan_U....in xorg [01:53] IntuitiveNipple, never mind. [01:53] 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] everytime i do system quit the menus go away and nothing happens [01:53] belkinhelp2: You can't [01:53] Jordan_U....lol [01:54] Jordan_U....i feel like such a fish [01:54] unop: bash ensures that anything wrapped in double-quotes is passed as a single command-line argument (e.g. $2) [01:54] it is hardy heroin [01:54] have any of you guys tried chrome under ubuntu? [01:54] matt____, 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 idea [01:54] ogo [01:54] IntuitiveNipple, i said never mind - i'm not interested in how mysql processes command line options [01:54] any ideas? [01:54] anybody 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] ...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. [01:55] 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] NO U! [01:55] psynophile?? [01:55] umm [01:55] wrong channel [01:55] IntuitiveNipple, though, i am aware of how bash works [01:55] unop: That isn't mysql, that is bash... which is why matt's script works [01:55] belkinhelp2: 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 itself [01:55] matt____, do you give ssh users the ability to execute your script? [01:55] nubuntu: net install... [01:55] unop: Only myself... [01:55] !install | nubuntu [01:55] nubuntu: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [01:56] unop: I'll be the only one to use it...supposedly anyway. [01:56] matt____, then make sure only you have the ability to read the script then [01:56] matt____: why not keep the password locally? [01:56] "You should never use normal sudo to start graphical applications as root. You should use gksudo to run such programs" Why? [01:56] Jordan_U....how do i restart X [01:56] have been looking at this page: http://mulinux.sunsite.dk/linux_install.html [01:56] IntuitiveNipple: What do you mean...keep it locally? [01:56] Jordan_U....just restart the machine? [01:56] test test [01:56] Hey, how do I install radeon drivers? (open source) [01:56] belkinhelp2: Log out then back in again [01:56] amsn nao conecta pq? [01:56] belkinhelp2, CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE will restart x [01:56] when i click on Quit . . . the bottom and top menus just disappear [01:56] /whois Batatoviskk [01:57] !ati>ib_ [01:57] oops [01:57] ib_, please see my private message [01:57] kkkkkkkkkk [01:57] hey there [01:57] !br | Batatoviskk [01:57] Batatoviskk: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português. Obrigado. [01:57] mn, because sudo runs the command elevated (using your environment) -- so any files created by the app are owned by root - which is not good if you run the app later normally but have no read access over the files created earlier under sudo [01:57] Batatoviskk, I have the same problem [01:57] Scunizi: i don't know if this old box could handle ubuntu, tho, prolly not even xubuntu .... don't know about flux [01:57] valeu cara e desculpa ae [01:57] Sorry [01:57] ib_: google ubuntu radeon, which model ? [01:57] he said that amsn is not connecting === FuriousGeorge is now known as Guest78381 [01:58] Thanks. [01:58] =] [01:58] nubuntu: maybe not.. busybox maybe.. or DSL "Damn Small Linux" [01:58] ib_: which model ? [01:58] Scunizi: also doesn't have eth0 port [01:58] psynophile?? anyhow got it thanks... [01:58] now to see if it works!! lol [01:58] matt____: try this: http://pastebin.com/d2952aca6 [01:58] nubuntu: sounds like a real project [01:58] nubuntu: you might ask on #linux [01:59] :P [01:59] do you think it is a nautilus issue anyone? [01:59] maybe i should reinstall it [01:59] IntuitiveNipple: explain how I would use that... [02:00] matt____: on the local system you'd do "ssh user@host scriptname password" [02:00] how do i get firefox to stop blocking images? [02:00] matt____: password is stored in the variable $1 (the first parameter) [02:00] <_Zeus_> adude: can you elaborate? [02:01] hi how can i make link between two directories for example /sys -> /usr/src/sys? [02:01] <_Zeus_> poopuser: sudo ln -s /sys /usr/src/sys [02:01] IntuitiveNipple: But listen to this= The Server and Client are are in my home...so I don't see a problem there...but I may access the server over ssh remotely... [02:01] poopuser, you don't want to do that [02:01] overkill [02:01] _Zeus_, bad idea [02:01] U_Jordan....hey, that worked [02:01] poopuser: if you really want to (uu) see: man ln [02:01] <_Zeus_> onop: what do you mean??? [02:01] <_Zeus_> that's exactly what he wanted [02:01] i think so [02:01] U_Jordan....but now my resolution is a bit higher than i had it originally set before the switch [02:02] DasEi, my friend is very happy with his 'new' computer, thanks again [02:02] _Zeus_, poopuser, the directory /sys is special - if you want to break something bad, you've just done it with that command [02:02] belkinhelp2: Is that a good thing or a bad thing :) ? [02:02] nubuntu:the win-knoppix ? [02:02] U_Jordan....and under system.administration.screens and graphics....the monitor is set at PnP at 60Hz....and i cant change it [02:02] matt____: well you can decide, but that is a way to not store the password anywhere but in your head. [02:02] DasEi, ya [02:02] DasEi like i didn't done that before also thx zeus but ln -s dose not seems to works for me any other suggestions? [02:02] <_Zeus_> unop: the folder doesn't even exist on my system [02:02] belkinhelp2: Don't use screens and graphics, it's more likely to screw things up than do any good [02:03] Jordan_U....well no not really. But how do i reset the sreens and graphics option [02:03] Jordan_U....lol...ok [02:03] gonna go search to try to find how to get at the bios on this thing [02:03] _Zeus_, it does on mine - the kernel sysfs is mounted there [02:03] 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] Jordan_U....perhaps its time to upgrade to Hardy Heron [02:03] <_Zeus_> unop: no, i don [02:03] <_Zeus_> *t have that folder [02:03] belkinhelp2: You can change the resolution for your specific user ( won't affect login screen ) with System -> Preferences -> Resolution [02:04] thx ubuntu community u are helpful as always [02:04] hmmm ubuntu can be installed without the gnome-desktop-enviroment? === Gun_Smoke_ is now known as Gun_Smoke [02:04] _Zeus_, ok, you don't - but that doesn't mean others don't also - careful with your suggestions [02:04] <_Zeus_> unop: I did exactly what he wanted, and if he wanted that, i think he would know to not break anything [02:04] Jordan_U...cool...thanks alot. [02:04] Im trying to do a netinstall of Ubuntu - I tried 4 mirrors now and all fail with error package efi-modules and libnewt doesn't exist [02:05] user01: Yes [02:05] IntuitiveNipple Do you see something I don't? [02:05] matt____: it's good practice not to store the password in a script [02:05] belkinhelp2: np [02:05] Jordan_U...so hows your alsa knowledge? [02:05] matt____: here's a looping version of the script so you type "quit" to stop it http://pastebin.com/d2dc03214 [02:05] Jordan_U...I also have a problem with sound [02:05] user01: kubuntu-xubuntu, and several less common surfaces [02:06] Jordan_U...but this time it is an onboard sound, not the old card. [02:06] _Zeus_, please, don't be indifferent to his plight after running the command - if it's bad, you should advise against it - like when people ask how to enable to root password, you don't tell them how - atleast not in here [02:06] Jordan_U...correct driver installed but i get alot of static and the playback is erratic [02:06] <_Zeus_> unop: ok, ok i get the point [02:06] unop ahh the prejudice.... ;-) [02:06] Jordan_U...is there a magic command line to get ubuntu to dump the driver and reinstall it? [02:07] pluto, perhaps, it just saves all of us time and aggravation :) [02:07] IntuitiveNipple: After I fool around with if fi statements for hours...I'll be sure to build in a quit statement. I'm going to make it such as this: 1 for Last Name 2 For First Name 3 For Phone Number 5 for etc etc etc. [02:07] please amsn help no conect [02:07] belkinhelp2: I would grab a hardy liveCD and see how many problems go away with it before doing anything else [02:07] Hi all - cpu on 100% in idle ?

[02:33] mn, you are not helping [02:34] t's better to just ask the ques [02:34] does anyone know how to install vmware on ubuntu 8.10 [02:34] what are the differences between opera and firefox for ubuntu/GNU linux? [02:34] GroovyNoor: actually he is since we don't know your default browser so how do we know what command to use [02:34] How can I change the user agent in Firefox or Konqueror? I was tryign to apply for something, but it said I needed Internet Explorer and Windows, and the User Agent Switcher plugin in Firefox dosnt work anymore. [02:34] GroovyNoor: gnome-open or xdg-open will open an appropriate program. So for example 'gnome-open http://www.google.com' should work [02:34] I'm wondering, is there a command that will launch whatever happens to be my default browser at the time when I run the command? [02:34] tuxy: umm one is opera and the other is firefox [02:34] GroovyNoor: Sorry, you want a command that will start your default browser no matter what it is? (I really wasn't trying to be facetious by the way.) [02:35] jrib, cheers. Someone with an imagination! [02:35] tuxy: look on opera and firefox's website to know the differences between them [02:35] kitche: in terms of web page compatibility, which is preffered, or hopefully are the same [02:36] tuxy: how are we suppose to know web page compatibilty since all the websites out there are built either to standard to IE standard or Firefox standard [02:36] kitche: when i talk about the browsers, i don't mean difference in features, sometimes i hear that there a different supports [02:36] does anyone know how to install vmware fusion [02:37] Has anybody here seen the rhapsody commercial with sara barellies in it?

[02:38] JaseX: you probably need to be a little less vague [02:38] Of course. [02:38] is there anyway that i can integrate opera mail into the ubuntu system?

[02:38] !ntfs > legendsohai [02:38] legendsohai, please see my private message [02:38] JaseX: check the last entry in the /topic [02:39] cuz half the time you get chased out of "help" channels for asking questions people deem below them =\ [02:39] Thanks sir/miss, I missed it because irssi just blinded me with the user list :) [02:39] lyfealways: not here [02:39] #linux.org.sv [02:39] Ah... right... thanks. [02:39] is there anyway that i can integrate opera mail into the ubuntu system? [02:39] I couldn't remember the chat, I knew there was a special room for it. [02:39] have an ubuntu ? [02:40] That's why I didn't actually ask the question yet. [02:40] Thanks jrib. [02:40] hey guys, I wanted to know how difficult it would be dual boot ubuntu and windows, if I only have ubuntu on my laptop right now [02:41] not that difficult [02:41] =D [02:41] I read some people had trouble. [02:41] corunum: I don't mean to sound impertinent, but have you thought about using VirtualBox as an option or another VM? or is it outside that spectrum of neeD? [02:41] but I have all my windows os disks and stuff [02:41] Randomly my computer (usually after being on for several hours) will lock up and the number and cap key will blink. The only thing i can do is hold the power button down, as nothing else seems to work. I do have two video cards, the on board which i disabled and an ati [02:42] hold on JaseX, let me look up what virtualbox means :/ [02:42] no opera mail integration for linux? [02:42] coler, my HP Pavilion does that if the kernel panics, or my wireless freezes up. [02:42] or ubuntu [02:42] I have an HP pavilion! [02:42] can someone recommend a chess client with which I can play chess online (that means suggest some public servers too)? [02:42] What do u do? [02:43] Well what model do you have? [02:43] in windows i have used cdrlabel to which reads directory's on a disk and automatically does up a front cover with all directory's listed in rows alphabetically. What can do this in Ubuntu [02:43] jrib, gnome-open works perfectly for my situation. Thanks again. [02:43] okay, I'm not sure what virtualbox does [02:43] IM not sure (in a different case. Something like "an" [02:44] i suppose that a closed source software like opera does not let email integration into linux [02:44] I can find out [02:44] it is a desktop however [02:44] corunum: it's pretty straight forward [02:44] ... e-client be integrated [02:44] It runs Windows inside a virtual machine... [02:44] :< [02:44] I'm trying to run padevchooser (for Pulse Audio) but when I run it nothing happens. No errors are sent to the console, and no window pops up. Any ideas? [02:44] Like actually install and run windows in a virtual drive/machine. [02:44] Alright coler. [02:44] tuxy: You can set opera as your email handler I believe. [02:44] is there anything i can do about it [02:45] sorry im a noob [02:45] Mine is an hp pavilion dv6871US of the 6700 series [02:45] Flannel: please tell me [02:45] I've noticed if the fans fail it will do that as well [02:45] tuxy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser#Setting%20Opera%20as%20default%20browser%20in%20GNOME [02:45] mean the cpu fan? [02:45] corunum: head over to the forums, there's some great topics on it, if you give me a moment I can find one for you, that I especially like. [02:45] Yes coler. [02:45] seems to be fine [02:46] so nothing i can do? [02:46] The system locks up all the way right? [02:46] I'll hit google up again, thanks :) [02:46] i think im going to have to reinstall ubuntu . . . it is all whack for me right now [02:46] I had issues with that and the 5100 AGN Intel wireless card [02:46] Is it bad to reset by holding the power button down? [02:46] yes [02:46] It isn't too bad, but it can mess with your hard drive's stability I hear. [02:47] sometimes the computer will stay on for several days, and no problem, then other times 5 minutes and the computer locks up [02:47] it doesnt do this with suse [02:48] I almost think its a video card issue [02:48] Can you private message me your lspci output. [02:48] and is this a desktop or a laptop? [02:48] My sound is randomly dying on me [02:48] Plz help [02:48] I don't think ive installed the ati cards. Is there a way of Ubuntu atomaticaly doing this [02:48] Yes [02:49] sudo apt-get install envy-gtk or envy-qt [02:49] coler: !envNG [02:49] depending if you use gnome or kde coler [02:49] !envNG [02:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about envng [02:49] hi guys , whenever i play 3d games i get analog out of sync error ... any ideas? [02:49] !envyng [02:49] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [02:49] thx [02:49] No prob. [02:50] where do i find !envNG [02:50] there has got to be a setting for 3d games [02:51] nono :p [02:51] you familiar with command line? [02:51] Or do you prefer to use Synaptic? [02:51] ? [02:51] does xbmc have audio normalization? [02:51] I am somewhat familair with run in terminal [02:51] coler: System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager [02:52] coler: Or "sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk" in a terminal [02:52] wrong chan [02:52] hey, question: how do I set nr of workspaces? I have only 2 and I need 4 or 6 for the cube [02:52] Yes unless you have kubuntu [02:52] Rolan d [02:52] u need more work spaces? [02:52] Right click the pager on the bottom right, and hit preferences [02:52] hi guy, currently my kernel is 2.6.24-19-generic how can I update it to 2.6.24-21 for example [02:52] what jasex said [02:53] coler you have ubuntu or kubuntu? [02:53] rexus: Why? [02:53] Jordan_U, just want to try the new kernel [02:53] ubuntu [02:54] Buenas [02:54] Pregunta [02:54] alguien sabe [02:54] ok [02:54] si existe algun software o alguna manera de simular un ambiente grafico conectandose a una shell de linux? [02:54] because my friend said the update is available in the update manager, but I don't see anything like kernel update here [02:54] digamos que me conecto a la shell y quiero un ambiente grafico eso se puede hacer?? [02:54] someone tell him the spanish channel lol [02:55] !es | DareDevil [02:55] DareDevil: 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. [02:55] brb [02:55] ty physically_fit [02:55] rexus: The only possible difference you would see would be things not working, -19 is a proposed bugfix, not a release with new features and has not been tested enough [02:55] no, this is xubuntu, cannot see preferences on the pager [02:55] rexus: Rather -21 [02:55] Roland-: You can use ccsm [02:55] morning [02:56] what if I'm willing to take the chance? [02:56] rexus... kernel-check I think is the utility... or that might be for compiling one's own kernel [02:56] Jordan_U, yes I can i just cannot figure where to add more workspaces corrently it only flips 2 side, no cube [02:56] rexus: System -> Administration -> Software Sources, enable proposed and expect no support [02:57] Hello All. [02:57] hi now to gate free phone call? [02:57] Roland-: I told you how. [02:57] Roland-: General Options, Desktop Size [02:57] Right click the desktop pager on the bottom right of the screen.

I am not sure if XFCE's pager affects compiz [02:58] i don't know how to do it [02:58] it will Ziroday it works for me... [02:58] Okay [02:58] That's how I do it. [02:58] JaseX: Do you use XFCE ? [02:58] It's how I increase the sides of the cube/sphere everytime. [02:59] In VMWare Worstation, when I go full-screen, I can't use my Cntrl or Alt keys outside of the VMachine?

[03:07] I hope the envyng-gtk thing worked [03:07] Ziroday: thanx al lot [03:07] roukoun: have fun [03:08] bobbob1016, what i could reccomend is going to /home/ and enabling hidden folders cntrl and h [03:08] is any old guys i can chat? [03:08] I remember finding a "php server app" that allowed you to remotely control bittorent, as well as wget downloads. It has a really weird name. Anyone? [03:08] bobbob1016, than you find the folder named .wine [03:08] ruth: offtopic in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:08] Flannel, Folders are 755 and chmod`ed +x. No results. [03:08] bobbob1016, delete that folder, and wine will be reset back to normal settings. [03:08] how do i do that [03:08] <^Phantom> sup [03:09] CzarAlex: And the files? (755 implies +x) [03:09] SimplySeth:you can see all rooms on a server with "/list" typed in your messenger (no quotes) [03:09] I remember finding a "php server app" that allowed you to remotely control bittorent, as well as wget downloads. It has a really weird name. Anyone? [03:09] ruth: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [03:09] how [03:09] ruth type /join #ubuntu-offtopic [03:09] In your chatbar ruth. [03:09] Where you type to chat. [03:09] does ubuntu 8.04 support xinput-evdev with hotplug? [03:09] pen: afaik yes [03:09] <^Phantom^> someone told me a couple of video editors for ubuntu [03:09] Desktop-Kyle, Then how do I get it to run in a window again? [03:09] <^Phantom^> and i lost the names <_< [03:10] Flannel, Yes. I'm receiving The requested URL /~mahoney was not found on this server. (with mahoney as the user) as the error. [03:10] ^Phantom: kino [03:10] Ziroday, really? then does that mean I don't need anything in my xorg.conf? [03:10] hi [03:10] do i have a phone number with skype? [03:10] if so how do i figure it out [03:10] does anyone know if it's possible to configure samba in ubuntu that would allow root user to access entire / ? [03:10] pen: not sure sorry, never had to something like that myself. You may have more luck with google [03:10] bobbob1016, goto places>home [03:10] i hate nvidia [03:10] meoblast001: you have to pay to receive a skype number [03:10] CzarAlex: I believe /home/mahony/ will also need to be o+x [03:10] bobbob1016, than hit control and h at the same time [03:10] Other than that, it's just PCtoPC [03:10] Desktop-Kyle, I did that, I deleted the folder [03:10] meoblast001: you do not have a phone number with skype [03:10] join #ubuntu nofftopic [03:10] Ziroday, but it's unclear most articles I found are months old [03:11] bobbob1016, okay than, wine has been reset [03:11] The only thing I have found that allows free calling, is iCall which is windows. [03:11] Ziroday, and it's mostly archlinux not ubuntu [03:11] ruth: you need the / at the front of join [03:11] bobbob1016, all settings are back to normal [03:11] I remember finding a "php server app" that allowed you to remotely control bittorent, as well as wget downloads. It has a really weird name. Anyone? [03:11] It gives you a number with an extension [03:11] Flannel, is that 777? [03:11] <^Phantom^> i think one of them was cine something [03:11] !repeat | matt____1 [03:11] Desktop-Kyle, I just ran a program, and now it doesn't go in a window, should I recheck it to get it back into a window? [03:11] matt____1: 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 [03:11] CzarAlex: no, 755 will work [03:11] ^Phantom: cinerella [03:11] Desktop-Kyle, I want it in a window... [03:11] Flannel, Hmm. It already is. [03:11] "cannot detect settings" only runs inlow graphics mode now. So big screen lcd unstable gpu awesome [03:11] bobbob1016, yeah, it should be in a window now. [03:11] hm [03:11] this to mach for me soory [03:11] bobbob1016, it's reset to DEFAULT settings. [03:11] ruth. [03:12] Desktop-Kyle, It wasn't, I tried it... [03:12] <^Phantom^> thx :D [03:12] !nvidia > derek [03:12] derek, please see my private message [03:12] Flannel: 10-4 [03:12] CzarAlex: Alright. And /home/mahoney/public_html/ is too? [03:12] type this... /join #ubuntu-offtopic [03:12] bobbob1016, look through the config it should say something about that [03:12] Flannel, Correct. [03:12] is there any tutorial about how to modify the xorg.0.log ? [03:12] thank to all of you [03:12] as it appears. [03:12] coler? === bfig_ is now known as bfig [03:12] roukoun: 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] Desktop-Kyle, Which config? I did, and I checked "emulate virtual desktop" and it doesn't work [03:13] CzarAlex: Hmm, and `ls -l /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ | grep userdir` outputs stuff? [03:13] bobbob1016, you don't want that :S [03:13] Flannel, nothing actually. [03:13] Desktop-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] Ziroday: yes i know that but i'd like to find a tutorial to learn about its contents and how to modify it safe [03:13] CzarAlex: Ah, that'd be your problem then. Do this: sudo a2enmod userdir && sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload [03:14] bobbob1016, uncheck emulate virtual desktop [03:14] CzarAlex: You didn't have the userdir module enabled (which is what handles the public_html stuff) [03:14] roukoun: are you sure you're meaning to refer to /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [03:14] Flannel, two separate commands right? [03:14] CzarAlex: If you just copy that whole thing, the && will take care of it [03:14] Desktop-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] Flannel, wonderful [03:15] Ziroday: /etc/X11/xorg.0.log [03:15] bobbob1016, well, might wanna ask around, as i don't work with wine. [03:15] roukoun: the file you refer to is just the output of X11 and it's output: i.e. whether or not its failing. [03:15] roukoun, that's a log file [03:15] Flannel, Perfect. Thank you very much! [03:15] bobbob1016: You might have better luck with wine in #winehq [03:15] roukoun: that is a log file. It does not edit any settings. There is no point in changing it. You just read it to understand it [03:15] roukoun: I believe you are looking to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:15] for 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] CzarAlex: glad to help. You might be also interested in: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions which will cover how to convert between numbers and letters and stuff [03:16] Flannel, That`ll definately help. Thanks again. [03:16] Desktop-Kyle, Also, deleting all of the .wine folder, deletes all the wine programs, just so you know. If someone didn't know to do that, they might be upset. I left the drive_c folder, since I knew this, but just so you know... [03:16] I remember finding a "php server app" that allowed you to remotely control bittorent, as well as wget downloads. It has a really weird name. Anyone?

[03:46] i thought restricted was default installed? [03:46] athleone, System ->Preferences -> Main menu [03:46] FAJ: if that doesn't compile the -ng driver. And no due to legal reasons [03:47] formode: done. [03:47] Ziroday: where should it show up, now, ie after restricted-modules is installed where to check to make sure? [03:47] how do i make the new monitor stop saying "input not supported" and show me my desktop? [03:47] athleone, Now just add the terminal command to invoke it under the appropriate menu. [03:47] phy0: not handling 0x02 type control frame? does some 1 know what can cause this error? [03:48] FAJ: restart and see if it pops up in ifconfig -a or network manager (the little two computer icon in the top right) [03:48] ok ty brb [03:48] FAJ: good luch [03:48] Formode: It doesn't blink when Appearance is none. Whee. === creative2bad is now known as angela [03:49]  BladeMcCool: install displayconfig-gtk and run it, config monitor, backup xorg before (video driver) [03:49] Hello [03:49] do Ubuntu (or other) devs plan on releasing a fix for nautilus accessing restricted Samba shares? [03:49] it's getting annoying having to run smb4k [03:49] athleone, Then we can fix it. :) "Add/Remove..." and search up "Compiz" [03:49] vexati0n: that is handled by gnome. Talk to them [03:49] Does anyone know of any really good (free) ubuntu server side video chat software? [03:49] I want to run my own private video chat server, vlc isn't what i am looking for... [03:49] hey everyone [03:50] fomode: Now what? [03:50] vexati0n, i find that often i just have to enter the proper share names/paths and it works.. Or i use the smbfuse tools to mount the whole network. [03:50] stgove: sip is not what you are looking for? [03:50] athleone: Click Apply, let it downoad. :) [03:50] i'm sorry [03:50] athleone, wait. xD [03:50] i'm new [03:50] formode: which one? theres a lot.... [03:50] formode: is it compiz fusion icon? [03:50] athleone, Ok, see advanced desktop effects? [03:50] how can i delete all the files and folders inside ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* on a dialy basis? [03:50] formode: yep [03:50] formode wait not [03:50] Athleone, Check that, and click apply. Let it download. [03:50] angela: add it to cron with crontab [03:50] formode I only see desktop effects. [03:51] how to do that? [03:51] formode: is that enough? [03:51] video drive?R i just want to edit a file somewhere so that after i reboot it goes to 1440x900 instead of whatever its being sent right now. [03:51] Athleone, Theres no "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (CCSM)" aption? [03:51] let me go google sip [03:51] i'm trying to install 9.04, but gparted can't see my partitions. what's funny is that the partition used to have 7.10 installed on it, and i'm running the live cd right now, and nautilus can see all the partitions [03:51] Ziroday: as if we'd be so lucky ;) [03:51] !crontab | angela [03:52] angela: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [03:52] formode: wait, sorry, my fault, yes there is. [03:52] athleone, Get it. :) [03:52] is there a safe-mode? [03:52] formode: kay, thanks. [03:52] thank you physically_fit [03:52] FAJ: told ya, you need to compile the -ng driver. It tells you below on that wikipage. You might wanna try out intrepid which has ath5k which should support that card [03:52] formode: pardon my inexperience and all, I'm 12 and I'm new to Ubuntu. === vic is now known as Guest17442 [03:53] in windoze you would boot into safe-mode when you buy a new monitor and it would stick it in low rez and then you could pick the rsolution you wanted. i cant do anything b/c the screen is blank after ubuntu boots now. how do i boot into low res safe mode? [03:53] athleone: Don't worry about it. We all have to start somewhere. [03:53] athleone, Once you get it, open it, then go under General (at the top) and uncheck "Unredirect Fulllscreen windows" [03:53] ziroday; heck why now lol. how can i do a terminal upgrade? sudo upgraded? [03:53] Ziroday: wait till the beta of intrepid before you suggest ath5k support. Right now, its sketchy [03:53] formode: At least I'm good at programming XD [03:53] Hello [03:53] formode: kay. [03:53] danbh_intrepid: have had different mileage myself. [03:53] Hey, is it a problem if I use w.ubuntu.com for the spec for a personal compsci project? [03:53] FAJ: I strongly recommend you try compiling the -ng drivers first [03:53] Athleone, Age is no excuse. :) I'd be happy to help you as much as I can, but I'm not overly experienced myself, I can't even fix a stupid Reboot problem./ [03:54] ziroday; why? jw [03:54] Ziroday: maybe its fine then, I dunno [03:54] formode: Kay :) [03:54] lfaraone: come to #ubuntu-offtopic and we'll talk about it (I'm not really sure what you're asking) [03:54] FAJ: sure its your computer. Go ahead [03:55] Athleone, Terminal is so beautiful once you set it up right, same with Gedit. :D [03:55] Ziroday: i literally JUST installed ubuntu on it; i formatted the hdd on it... do you know the command from ubuntu to do a distribution upgrade? [03:55] FAJ: update-manager -d [03:55] FAJ: iirc sudo update-manager -c -d [03:55] formode: done. [03:55] formode: and I know UNIX anywayz :P [03:55] I am thinking about installing latest ubuntu. But I have some questions about vitualization since I have to run Windows for some things. What is the best/easiest to setup/fastes VM software that can be installed synaptic [03:55] athleone, Did your problem resolve? [03:56] guma if you don't require usb support in the VM you can install virtualbox-ose [03:56] from synaptic [03:56] Guma_: vmware is in the canonical partner repos and its easy to setup [03:56] Guma_, depends. theres VBox, Qemu etc [03:56] unop: Do you know how to make bash scripts loop? [03:56] unop: if so, do you have a link to a good tutorial? [03:56] Ziroday: ty [03:56] Guma_: but I would go with virtualbox-ose like brett said [03:56] formode: you mean I can appearance extra now? [03:56] FAJ: have fun [03:57] Out of the opensource what is the best option? Easy to setup and its speed and stability [03:57] thank God for a live cd lol all i would have to do is reinstall hardy if worse comes to worse ;) [03:57] Hello [03:57] Guma_, VBox [03:57] going to try "recovery mode" and see if it shows a picture after booting. [03:57] Hello - I'm looking for help on upgrading Breezy Badger ultimately to Hardy. Since Breezy-Badger is no longer officially supported, the automatic update no longer functions. [03:57] Athleone, I suppose you could call it that. That pref pane allows you to customize compiz. :) [03:58] codernator: You'll upgrade breezy to dapper and then from dapper straight to hardy. [03:58] Is there ubuntu for x86_64. I see that there is only version for Amd64 and x86 [03:58] formode: I made it extra and it doesnt work :( [03:58] Guma - that's what I figured, but I'm not sure how to get the dapper upgrade started either. [03:58] Athleone, go to Advanced desktop settings and under General uncheck the "unredirect fullscreen windows" [03:59] how can I capture the results of a telnet session from the terminal to a log file. [03:59] codernator: first, you'll need to edit your sources.list and point your repos to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ instead of archive.ubuntu.com (or whatever mirror you're using). This will still be for breezy at the moment. [03:59] Guma_: AMD64 is x86_64 [03:59] previously i used something like "script telnet xxx.xx.xx.xxx >file.txt but I can remember the exact format [04:00] formode I already did that. [04:00] can anyone tell me what im missing? [04:00] athleone, make sure it's unchecked. [04:00] formode it is. [04:00] codernator: Is this an Ubuntu box? Kubuntu? Server? [04:00] Hm. [04:00] that was wierd [04:00] Athleone Still the problem? [04:00] formode yes. [04:01] Hello [04:01] Athleone Hmmm, out of my grasp right now (Trying to get something to work xD) ask around. :) Should be a command to turn off compiz when you run a game and turn it back on when you exit [04:01] matt____1, http://wooledge.org:8000/BashGuide/TheBasics/ - search for conditional loops [04:01] how could i check if package xyz is available in the repository [04:01] How can I get gimp to recognize the eraser on my wacom bamboo tablet? I have the stylus working fine with pressure and the mouse works fine, but the eraser just acts like the default stylus and I can't figure out how to get it to automagically switch to the eraser. I have the eraser, cursor and stylus set to screen mode in the gimp device configuration. (Gimp 2.4.5 on Ubuntu 8.04) [04:02] How close is next ubunto release? [04:02] formode: Uhhhh. how do I ask for that? :S [04:02] Hmm, is it me, or on any decent sized FS (80GB) will ext3 reserve like 20MB per GDT-that-gets-stored-with-superblock-backup with the resize_inode default on? [04:02] how do i install displayconfig-gtk ? [04:02] IMaverick: apt-cache search [terms] to find a package name (searches name and description) if you already know the package name, apt-cache policy package [04:02] formode: totally confused XD [04:02] Flannel: Ubuntu standard [04:02] Guma_: its all in the title, 8.10 [04:02] codernator: Alright, and which kernel are you using? [04:02] IMaverick:apt-cache search [04:02] apt-get install right? [04:02] IMaverick, apt-cache policy xyz #should tell you the source of a package [04:02] athleone: "Is there a way to have compiz turn off when I open an app, and turn it back on when I close it?" [04:02] Is there a way to have compiz turn off when I open an app, and turn it back on when I close it [04:02]  BladeMcCool: install displayconfig-gtk and run it, config monitor, backup xorg before (video driver) sudo apt-get install displayconfig (!who) [04:02] matt____1, infact you should bookmark this - http://wooledge.org:8000/BashGuide/ [04:03] couldnt find package displayconfig-gtk [04:03] !who [04:03] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [04:03] Alannel, DasEi, iwant to search uninstalled available packages [04:03] Dasei: couldnt find package displayconfig-gtk [04:03] codernator: You can find out with uname -a [04:03] unop: Thanks [04:03] Is there a way to have compiz turn off when I open an app, and turn it back on when I close it [04:03] Flannel: is there a place I can find the kernel version without rebooting? [04:03] danbh_intrepid - I did look in the title but I do not see the release date for 8.10. [04:03]  BladeMcCool: looking up.. [04:03] unop: That's one bashguive I haven't found via google :) [04:03] Flannel, DasEi, iwant to search uninstalled available packages [04:04] codernator: version isn't important, we're just looking for the arch (stuff after the last dash) like -386 or -686 or -k7 [04:04] Is there a way to have compiz turn off when I open an app, and turn it back on when I close it [04:04] danch_intrepid: 8.10 is to be release October 30 [04:04] IMaverick: apt-cache search blah [04:04] released* [04:04] matt____1, it's a work-in-progress a contribution from the guys in #bash [04:04] Guma_: 8.10 is the release date, Ill let you think about it for a sec. If you cant get it, Ill fill you in [04:04] danbh_intrepid - Thanx. That make sence. Sorry new to it [04:05] hi all [04:05] Hello [04:05] Guma_: you didnt do anything wrong : P [04:05] how do I move files around in the GUI browser with Super User power? [04:05] ie. how do I run file browser in SU mode [04:06] KoN8392, gksudo nautilus #but be very careful [04:06] KoN8392: alt-f2, gksu nautilus, be *very* careful and close it as soon as you're done. [04:06] how can i capture the details of a shell telnet session to a text file? [04:06]  BladeMcCool:sudo apt-get install displayconfig [04:06] cool thanks! [04:06]  BladeMcCool:sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk ,sry [04:06] I have two machines, both of which are secured with good passwords, but both are shared environments as well. How safe would it be to use a shared key without a passphrase to authenticate between these two machines? [04:06] pxwebdev_, you could use script - see the manpage on how to use it [04:06] pxwebdev_, man script #i.e. [04:06] phuzion: does anyone else have access to your machines? [04:07] what would a safer way to move files around be? im trying to install a gdesklet, but i dont have permission [04:07] IMaverick:apt-cache search or [04:07] Hi, 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] Nallep, yes, they are shared environments. [04:07] Nallep, some users have sudo, most do not though [04:07] xee: thats generally a safe assumption, but the app could technically do whatever it wants [04:07] IMaverick:could also use paketmanager (synaptic) [04:07] Flannel - Still not sure if it's 386 or 686. I know it's not K7 [04:07] KoN8392, 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 done [04:08] codernator: What kernel are you using? [04:08] codernator: install n run hwinfo... [04:08] codernator: (currently) see uname -a (you can just paste that output here if you want) [04:08] codernator: that doesnt matter... [04:08] phuzion: 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 others [04:08] flannel: 386 [04:08] okie dokie [04:09] Daesei: 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. peace [04:09] xee, generally, options passed to the program override those in user configuration files - which in turn override global configuration files [04:09] Hello [04:09] hello, greenmanwitch. Welcome to #ubuntu!@ [04:09] phuzion: but if you can't trust the super users, then keep your keys passworded and use ssh-agent [04:09] codernator: alright, have you changed your sources.list to use the old-release archive? [04:09] ok, thanks Flannel and unop [04:09] Nallep, 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 script [04:10] flannel: yeah. http://old-release.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted [04:10] do all external dvd burners work in ubuntu? [04:10] Which will be handled with cron job [04:10] How can I install vista themes in emerald? [04:10] a cron job* [04:10] argh! anyone know the trick to running gdesklets? [04:10] codernator: Alright, do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-standard linux-386 [04:10] phuzion: look into making ssh keys that can only execute one command then log out [04:10] I've moved the desklet folder to the proper directory, however I cant load the file! [04:11] Nallep, Like, a specific command, or just any one command? [04:11] error404notfound: Are you trolling? [04:11] RyanPrior: sorry? [04:12] codernator: 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-upgrade [04:12] KoN8392, I would refer to the gdesklets documentation [04:12] codernator: After that, you'll be on your way to dapper. And then you can upgrade to hardy from here [04:12] Is there a way to have compiz turn off when I open an app, and turn it back on when I close it [04:12] !upgrade | codernator [04:12] codernator: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [04:12] error404notfound, there are several vista like emerald themes [04:12] cool [04:12] flannel: could not resolve http://old-release.ubuntu.com [04:12] error404notfound: 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] kindofabuzz: I can't seem to find them when I search in emerald. [04:12] codernator: Sorry, old-releases [04:13] phuzion: a specific command, you can setup a key to login and only execute a specified command [04:13] error404notfound, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Vista+Transformation+Pack+for+GNOME?content=63106 [04:13] there used to be sound when I played games. now there is none. How come? [04:13] Nallep, Awesome, thanks. I'll look into it. [04:13] Hello [04:13] flannel: much better :) thanks [04:13] phuzion: make a script on the server to do your build and transfer files, then have the ssh key run that script [04:13] flannel: 0 upgraded, installed, removed, not upgraded [04:13] Does Skype 2.0 on work well on 8.04? [04:14] athleone_: a start: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867737 [04:14] codernator: that doesn't surprise me. That was mostly to double check you were up to date (and those metapackages were installed) [04:14] error404notfound, you have to look on the internet for themes, emerald theme manager doesn't download for you [04:14] codernator: So, you don't need to reboot (since theres no kernel change). So go ahead and continue (changing sources to dapper, etc) [04:14] codernator: Also, one more thing. once you get to hardy, you may want to consider using the -generic kernel (linux-generic) instead of linux-386 [04:14] danbh_interpid: what does that do? [04:14] kindofabuzz: 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-manager [04:14] Guma_: There's a way to find out. :-) [04:15] Alright, thanks Nallep [04:15] error404notfound, nope [04:15] if a server has ubuntu server installed how easy is it to install xfce on to it [04:15] !tab > athleone dan will get my whole name I believe [04:15] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:15] liza0_: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [04:15] liza0_, quite easy [04:15] nice [04:15] thanks [04:15] Well I am thinking between CentOS and Ubunto :) I figure I ask people first [04:15] flannel: is there a good list of dapper sources? my sources.list file currently only include the CD and the old-releases. I tried doing this before I came onto this board and totally hosed my system, presumably because I chose my sources poorly. [04:15] error404notfound, http://www.compiz-themes.org/index.php?xcontentmode=103 [04:15] !tab > athleone_ [04:16] athleone_, please see my private message [04:16] Guma_: depends... I like deb based, so my servers run ubuntu [04:16] codernator: Generally http://cc.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ (where cc is your country code) is a good place to start [04:16] flannel: thanks for the advice on the generic kernel. noted. [04:16] Guma_: It should work well on both, I think. Google certainly indicated that it works well on Ubuntu. [04:16] unop, thanks that got me what I needed :) [04:16] Sooo... Theres no script for this? [04:17] When I play games there is no sound anymore. How come? [04:17] Hello [04:17] athleone_: What games? What changed? [04:17] Nallep, 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 first [04:17] RyanPrior: I used to have sound for Wormux. Now there is no sound. [04:17] And the third script is called in with cron [04:18] RyanPrior and yes, my sound is working well for everything other than games. [04:18] athleone: Perhaps something is blocking the audio device. Does it work if you run it with pasuspender? [04:18] phuzion: well depends on what your doing, I'd just put it all in one script and execute it all at once [04:18] RyanPrior: uhhh. what? [04:18] Alright, I'll see what I can dig up on Google. Thanks for the help, Nal === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire [04:19] Nallep* [04:19] athleone: I don't know what the command is to run wormux - but if it's "wormux", then try running "pasuspender wormux" and see how that goes. [04:20] I have 3x disks formatted as ext3 in a mdadm array (md0 currently unformatted I think), is there an easy way to change it to xfs? [04:21] RyanPrior It works now. Do I have to do it every single time? [04:21] Hello === PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid [04:21] how to install dazuko properly ? [04:22] athleone: If you usually launch from the menu, you can use Alacarte (System -> Preferences -> Main Menu) to include pasuspender in the launcher. [04:22] athleone: In the long term, you should file a bug against wormux asking that they make it play nicely with PulseAudio. [04:23] What command can I use to see what version I got?

[04:29] any body have any ideas [04:29] when playing a game on line my mouse will not respond [04:29] hardcore: "all" is a strong word, but most [04:29] happen on any on line game with ubuntu [04:29] any body have any ideas [04:29] hardcore: there are some buggy devices, but I've found that most work fine these days [04:29] Decepticon, how is it different exactly? [04:30] amicrawler, use a usb inet connection? [04:30] can anyone tell me how to burn music from limewire to a cd? [04:30] sloop what do you mean by that [04:30] which ones preferred? [04:30] i have usb yes [04:31] do you use a cablemodem plugged into a usb port, a usb to enet adaptor, etc [04:31] athleone: I don't understand the question. What are you asking? [04:31] eth0 by all means [04:31] unop i cant install prevu because of grsec and smething to do with chroot and mounting procfs [04:31] Ryanprior: you told me to use alacarte. [04:31] Quick question: if I update my ubuntu server via command line, will it inform me that I need to reboot for the changes to take place or do I just have to assume? [04:31] katie_:use kr3b or nero or... [04:31] unop that seems significantly different from straight up iso hardy heron [04:31] athleone: Yes. If you usually launch your game from the menu, you should use alacarte to edit the launcher. [04:32] what is eth0? onboard ethernet port? [04:32] Hey there, im about to install Ubuntu 8.04 using the live CD, ive already got slackware and windows xp installed, im planning to install Ubuntu over the slackware partition, though the other day when i tried to resize my partitions using the Ubuntu live cd, i extended the windows partition slightly and after rebooting i was then unable to boot windows(using lilo that is), is there someway to safely resize a windows xp partition without m [04:32] yes [04:32] ryanprior how? [04:32] mouse is usb? [04:32] yes [04:32] Decepticon, ok, who gives you this setup? an ISP or hosting service? [04:32] unop a hosting service [04:33] Hello [04:33] DasEi: how do i do that im not that familar with Ubuntu [04:33] i am wondering about the difficultiy ill encounter if i upgrade to ibex from this version of hardy.. [04:33] oh and does the live cd give you the option of creating a USB boot disk? [04:33] and knowing linux i know its goign to be totally batshit impossible [04:34] which external dvd burners are most preferred? [04:34] don't wanna buy a bad one [04:34] try different usb port for mouse? i have seen this issue with inet connection that goes through usb [04:34] Decepticon, 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+1 [04:34] katie_:nero (free triel, works with win-key) is at nero HP, or terminal : sudo apt-get install k3b [04:34] trial [04:34] unop im not on a vps [04:34] i don't have a mouse, my laptop has a direction stick [04:34] phuzion: look into the command option for your authorized_keys file (read man authorized_keys) [04:34] Decepticon, but you really should be talking to your service provider about upgrades, etc [04:35] hm ok [04:35] which external dvd burners are most recommended? don't wanna buy a bad one [04:35] athleone: System -> Preferences -> Main Menu [04:35] Decepticon, if you are not on a VPS - the chroot thing wouldn't make sense [04:35] What "type" of theme do I need to download to change the basic window borders/colors etc? I dont want to run emeryl or compiz because this laptop is so old! [04:35] KoN8392: check out gnome-look.org [04:35] DasEi: after i load k3b i can use it to burn the music [04:35] is there any way to make it so that if I open 4 mp3 files one after the other, each newly opened file will be opened in the previous instance of the media player? [04:35] i tried out gOS today, compiz wasn't on it so it sucked [04:36] RyanPrior: I am there. However i cant figure out what type of theme to grab [04:36] katie_:yup, install it and run from the apps menu [04:36] because right now, if I open 4 files, they'll have 4 different instances of the same media player running at the same time, and I'll then have to manually close the other programs [04:36] hi anyone :P [04:36] DasEi: ok ill see if that works [04:36] thx [04:36] which external dvd burners are most recommended? don't wanna buy a bad one [04:36] have anybody manage to install Spore under Hardy ? [04:36] DarknessssenkraD: why such a long name? It takes up our screen space. :-( [04:36] unop a dude asked me if "do you run a hardened kernel that would not permit chroots or mounting of procfs?" and he said to do 'uname -a' and said 'yeah you are running a grsec kernel' [04:37] this was when i was trying to install prevu, and it farted on me [04:37] !best>hardcore [04:37] hardcore, please see my private message [04:37] RyanPrior: sorry :P [04:37] Hello [04:37] how do i do that? [04:37] DarknessssenkraD: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8185 [04:37] Instead of forking ubuntu, and creating two competing distros, why didn't Canonical just combine efforts on debian? Canonical would have been a great commerical backbone to Debian, perhaps creating an "Easy" version of Debian. [04:38] hardcore: most big brands samsung, lg, toshiba... work without problems , or google for ubuntu harwaredatabase [04:38] as well as a standard debian [04:38] Decepticon, hmm - that's possible - but i can't really comment, only your provider can tell you exactly if it's possible to upgrade and if so, how you go about it [04:38] what about the cheap ones? [04:38] greenmanwitch is a bot that says hello every few minutes. [04:38] hm ok [04:38] RyanPrior: I have seen that... I was asking if someone could do it... from here [04:38] hardcore: #hardware [04:38] basically, how safe is it to resize(extend in my case) a windows partition that is at the end of the harddrive(ie. linux parition is hda1, swap is hda2, windows is hda3) without rendering windows xp unbootable? [04:38] maybe :P [04:39] DasEi: it says i need to convert the files [04:39] uy.............cemuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! [04:39] forking debian* [04:39] sloop no change [04:39] c3w_girls: english only please [04:39] even mouse in its own port [04:39] happen on any opengl game [04:39] smokewon:97,34 % good, defrag win-drive before and save valuable data [04:39] like quake4 etc: [04:39] ut4 [04:40] nevagonnagiveuup: discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:40] ah ok, thanks, ill do that now [04:40] !offtopic | nevagonnagiveuup [04:40] nevagonnagiveuup: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:40] katie_:kinda files ? wma ? mp3 ? [04:40] is it a good idea to install alpha? [04:40] hardcore: No. It is a bad idea. [04:40] hardcore: No. Its alpha software. [04:40] hardcore: see #ubuntu-1 [04:40] ofc, the defrag, i dont believe i had defraged before resizing last time, so that might of made some sort of problem, although because im actually extending the partition, would i still need to defrag? [04:40] what about beta? [04:41] hardcore: It's not a good idea to install until final release. [04:41] * DarknessssenkraD is sad [04:41] Hello [04:41] !anyone | DarknessssenkraD [04:41] DarknessssenkraD: 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? [04:41] oh ok wasn't sure. 8.4 beta seemed to work just fine [04:41] DasEi: they are mp3 and it says i need to convert them to waves [04:41] seemed like i installed updates every day though, in beta [04:42] smokewon:i would always do so, as it also corrects bad fileinformationns [04:42] ah true, ok ill try that now, thx for advice DasEi [04:42] hardcore: intrepid talk in #ubuntu+1 please [04:42] hardcore: That's how betas work - stuff breaks, and is fixed, frequently. Unless you're willing to deal with constant breakage, alphas and betas are not for you - and thus, it is a bad idea to install one. [04:42] katie_:thats strange, tried to burn em as datafiles ? [04:42] mmm nevermind === richard is now known as Guest64153 [04:43] DasEi: i cant even add them to be burned it comes up with that i need to convert them [04:43] i didn't say anything about intreped, i just said alpha and beta, didn't refer to a specific one [04:43] hardcore: this is a support channel. Unless you have an issue please go to #ubuntu-offtopic to chat [04:44] ok [04:44] RyanPrior: how dare you call me a bot :P [04:45] Hello [04:45] DasEi: any ideas on what i should do? [04:45] katie_:hmm, I can burn mp3, converting is always a downgrade, try : sudo apt.get install ubuntu-restricted-extras, maybe a codec issue [04:46] apt-get [04:46] compiz is all installed and working - what are the shortcuts please [04:46] k3b doesn't burn mp3 ? [04:47] Anyone know where I can get sound (files) I assume *.wav for gnome for various interactions? [04:47] case^: for what? [04:47] to show the cube [04:47] richard_: you mean sorta like a sound theme? [04:47] case^: ctrl + alt + left click [04:47] Yes [04:47] DasEi: im checking if its a codec issue [04:48] richard_: one sec [04:48] richard_: check out this ppa https://launchpad.net/~kwwii/+archive, inside is a package called ubuntu-sounds which has sounds for many events [04:48] thankyou. . . . .

If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show.

[05:31] DasEi: when i suspend, the dvd drive makes a single clicking noise, the screen goes black but doesn't say "no input," and it just sits there, doesn't matter what keys or buttons i press. [05:31] DasEi, I installed apache2 but firefox shows "The requested URL could not be retrieved" when i browse http://localhost what has gone wrong..? [05:32] error404notfound, disable the effects and see if that helps system > prefs > appearance [05:32] DasEi: could it be a video driver problem? i'm using the proprietary nvidia drivers, and i heard a long time in the past that they caused issues with suspend/resume [05:33] My webcam is not listed in 'lspci' . . . how do I fix this??? I'm using a FRESH install of 8.04 [05:33] Hello [05:33] jordan_u nothing happens it stays the same and then a screen pops up and ask to keep current settings or use previous. i obviously ask to keep current 1280*468 as i curse at nasty words that would make the devil blush and nothing happens. [05:33] tjay: is your webcam a pci card? [05:34] 1280*768 [05:34] dangh_intrepid: No, it's an internal on my Sony Vaio Laptop. The camera model is, VGP-VCC6 [05:35] Pie-rate:my ability for fortune-telling is less good, but I can give you advice where to look, see also /var/log > syslog,xorg.0.log [05:35] tjay: ah, then you are probably correct that it connects via pci [05:36] I have two ubuntu machines, pc1 and pc2, they both have onboard nics (eth0, in both cases). In addition, pc2 has a wireless nic (eth1) connected to the internet. I have a cat5 ethernet cable. Without an intermediary device (hub, switch, router, etc.), is it possible to shared pc2s internet connection with pc1?

[05:40] no i a serious note 42 in lcd [05:40] octoberdan: if your net connection is via wireless, and you have a crossover cat5 cable..maybe [05:41] !fix my shat [05:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about fix my shat [05:41] Hello [05:41] hyphenated: Maybe? [05:41] Hello all [05:41] how straight forward is the process of moving a win xp partition to the left(also being the xp partition itself is the second 3rd partition(left to the swap partition))? ive tried this before but windows did not boot afterwards [05:42] brolly81, run gksu displayconfig-gtk and see if you can choose your monitor, or one similar [05:42] right to the swap partition i mean sorry [05:42] octoberdan: yup. it'd be easier with a router tho [05:42] I would like to ask how I can mount my disk with the id f W95 ext'd (LBA)? [05:42] hyphenated: Definitely, but why only "maybe"? [05:42] hyphenated: In a philosophical sense? [05:43] * octoberdan expects the response to be "maybe" [05:43] ;-) [05:43] <_2> crossover cat 5 == linux router... [05:43] mr_bmh:partiton ? drive? output from fdisk - l ? [05:44] Makes sense [05:45] Hello [05:45] More useful would be for me to get xorg working... [05:45] octoberdan: haha well, if the wireless actually works, and the crossover cable is long enough, and we get all the right IP assignments, and run a special command for forwarding IP.. [05:45] !ot> greenmanwitch [05:46] hyphenated: I'd have to setup static routes, right? [05:46] octoberdan: of course [05:47] greenmanwitch says hello every 4 minutes [05:47] Seems fairly straightforward, but in the end it never is... [05:47] octoberdan: or run a dhcp server on pc2.. but that's a bit of a waste :-) [05:47] octoberdan, do you have a crossover? [05:47] and this is asuming I have crossover cable. I /hate/ making my own cable. It takes me an absurd amount of time just for one rj45 [05:48] physically_fit: thanks for the headsup, I didn't notice. [05:48] Hi, how to set gnome as my default GUI in ubuntu? [05:48] I'm going to go check the closet [05:48] octoberdan, If you have a crossover this will take a few seconds at best using firestarter. [05:48] mr_bmh:? [05:48] octoberdan: ya i hate crimping cables too. [05:49] Hello [05:49] octoberdan, newer switches and lan cards auto detect if they need to crossover for you. [05:50] it's not likely you need to even worry if it's a cross over cable or not these days. [05:50] unless you got accent hardware. [05:50] Romster: lan cards with auto sensing ? switches, for shure [05:50] 'sure' [05:51] actually good point on the lan cards bit. [05:51] might just be the switches. [05:51] i'll need to double check that. [05:51] they are [05:51] sure ? lol [05:51] happyhater i tried moving the screen to the right on my option from the samsung menu, how do i move my desktop towards the right from ubuntu or anyone if they know? [05:51] 'shure' is a microphone company [05:52] personally, I'd rather just buy a router and forget about making a messy little network of just 2 PCs :-) [05:52] octoberdan :but what Romster said, just get a switch, its about 10 Euro, and never care 'bout patch/cross again [05:52] <_2> brolly81 xrandr but i don't know the specifics === freqk|away is now known as freqk [05:53] kernel problems with gutsy on an Athlon system (ASUS A7S333)... 2.6.22-14-generic freezes immediately after grub shows "(boot)"...

[05:53] anyone know why I type man write it doesn't come out manual for write function for c language? [05:53] Romster. for shure, sure [05:53] hyphenated, It takes like 2 minutes to do with firestarter. [05:53] pen : you need to specify the documentation section [05:53] <_2> pen #C++ [05:53] pen: install manpages-dev [05:53] DasEi, yeah less headaches that way with less to worry about. [05:53] Flannel, ok [05:54] Okay, I'm back [05:55] Flannel, thx [05:55] octoberdan, have one? [05:55] Romster: I remember working with some CISCO routers that had that feature back in highschool [05:55] Flannel, I installed apache2 but firefox shows "The requested URL could not be retrieved" when i browse http://localhost what has gone wrong..?

Verify apache is running (ps aux | grep apache) you should see more than just your grep (we don't need to see it pasted or anything) [05:57] okie thanks [05:58] anyone know how to move the desktop to the right or left, up, down. so my ubuntu 8.04lts can fit on my screen [05:58] hmm, the "don't use enter as punctuation" part of the sentence is quite confusing, to tell the truth [05:58] mr_bmh:open a terminal ... [05:58] DasEi: The bots do that, no need to send !paste > to the users. [05:58] octoberdan, yeah i got sick of cross over cables. i'm glad they added that feature. === daklan is now known as daklan_zZz [05:59] octoberdan, http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [05:59] octoberdan: it must be an internet connection? you can't just copy between them with a USB disk or something?

Only pc2 has a wireless card [06:00] Bilange, it's short sentances [06:00] octoberdan: better get crimping then :-) [06:00] like [06:00] this [06:00] @ DasEi: What do you mean for automount? [06:00] brolly81: That's monitor territory. There should be buttons on your monitor for that [06:00] which is very anoying. [06:00] <_2> mr_bmh oh i bet your post got cut off. try sda5 in sted of sda4 [06:00] brolly81: Or an "auto-adjust" option [06:01] I have try this command [06:01] root@bmh-laptop:/home/bmh# sudo mount -o umask=0 /dev/sda4 /media/WinXP [06:01] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [06:01] Will the minimal ubuntu iso let me select packages for initial install?

[06:01] octoberdan: yeah, try your luck on that too [06:01] brolly81, http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man5/xorg.conf.5x.php [06:01] Help. How can I merge multiple rar file into onfile?

[06:02] I had created the folder /media/WinXP [06:03] directory why must everyone say folder.

How can I merge multiple rar file into onfile? [06:04] The vfat could not use [06:04] <_2> Romster same reason they say "file" in place of inode [06:04] There is one alternative... get video working on this laptop so I can use X [06:04] I had try many time with the vfat [06:04] _2, yeah true. [06:04] hi there, does anyone know of any great guides for creating a home backup server? [06:04] MiladKhajavi, unrar [06:04] MiladKhajavi, you could always unrar then rar back up ;) [06:04] mr_bmh:xp is ntfs ...

[06:05] It may be a hardware issue, I'm not sure. I broke the monitor so I had to plug it into an external lcd. However, when I startx, everything gets distorted and disorientated [06:05] Pici: i want to take my current theme and put it on another computer [06:05] MiladKhajavi, unrar e filename.rar [06:05] yes that is infact a tool to compress files, but i mean a guide for general set up of a home backup server [06:05] *disortianted...

It happens right away, even before the window manager loads, when it's just a backdrop and an x [06:06] riegersn: No. [06:06] Okie please wait [06:06] octoberdan your the man, i had to hit autoadjust. It did not allow me to do it manually. thanks bro [06:06] try again [06:06] Pici: thanks did it while you were typing :P thats what i thought.

[06:08] okie [06:08] mr_bmh, it is indeed a NTFS FS [06:08] riegersn: I stand corrected, see Flannel's responses. [06:08] if you don't have ntfs-3g installed install it first. [06:08] <_2> Romster sda5 not sda4 i'm guessing [06:08] root@bmh-laptop:/home/bmh# sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda4 /media/WinXP [06:08] NTFS signature is missing.

Or the other way around? [06:08] mr_bmh: Please stop pasting. You've been told before. [06:08] Romster: he could just use mount -t ntfs-3g [06:09] mr_bmh, for goodness sake use a pastebin for more than 2 lines [06:09] Romster: man mount ???, mr_bmh [06:09] Flannel, Pici, thanks [06:09] I tried to ask this question in #vbox, but almost no one ever talks on that channel (at least when I'm there). 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] Sir I had read the man mount also [06:09] <_2> sda5 [06:09] I did not understand why this partition could not mount [06:09] riegersn: You just needto activate expert mode. Which I think on the modern ones means hand typing "expert" as an option (but I don't know for sure) [06:10] guys do you know any web site that is something like a begginer's guide to ubuntu ? [06:10] CKey: https://help.ubuntu.com/ [06:10] <_2> mr_bmb is attempting to mount the extended partition not a logical drive within the partition [06:10] mr_bmh:run gparted to check correct-fs-type [06:10] I have a Samsung SyncMaster730B (LCD monitor) hooked up to my Dell Inspiron 8200. I've tried reconfiguring xorg, but without luck. The display is still all crazy. I have no way of confirming that the video would work on another monitor or on the laptop itself. [06:10] Macrosoft, DasEi ah true ntfs-3g does have a helper script /usr/bin/ntfs-3g.probe [06:10] How can you tell if you have a CD burner? [06:10] mr_bmh: use sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/ [06:11] it would be mount -t ntfs-3g ... [06:11] dmesg shows no errors. xstart shows that there is a problem with my touchpad, which I've known about. [06:11] ryan_:lspci & hwinfo [06:11] @Macrosoft: I had done as you told but got the same result like ntfs [06:11] hmmmmm [06:11] danbh_intrepid: Thank you, but the command didn't help [06:11] Flannel, thanks I have the minimal iso, i'll check it out ;) [06:11] mr_bmh:run gparted to check correct-fs-type [06:11] <_2> mr_bmh you can NOT mount a partition, you can only mount file systems /dev/sda4 3456 14593 89465985 f W95 Ext'd <<<< that is never going to mount. [06:11] octoberdan, did the ubottu scold you? [06:12] !xyz [06:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about xyz [06:12] 'man rpcinfo' writes: "rpcinfo makes an RPC call to an RPC server and reports what it finds." Isn't this wrong to say 'an remote procedure call call'? [06:12] !xyz [06:12] goldmetal: What did I do wrong? [06:12] <_2> ryan_ lshw -C cdrom [06:12] Can anyone help me understand why my installation of Windows XP on my VIrtualBox (host == Ubuntu 8.04) can never seem to finish? Without fail the installation will restart at the same spot. [06:12] octoberdan, never mind [06:12] _2: thats not right [06:12] gluonman: Which spot? [06:12] bullgard4: yes, those should be "a" But, that's not necessarily because the R stands for "remote" [06:13] <_2> ryan_ not sure about the class "cdrom" may be wrong. [06:13] so reconfiguring didn't work, what's the next step? [06:13] <_2> DasEi which ? [06:13] does anyone know how to make an icon you created, appear in the Applications submenu, like where the xchat and pigeon icons are? [06:13] octoberdan, after the Windows Installing section is complete. I will state my language/region, my name and organization, my time zone, and then an install bar will complete, and then it restarts. [06:13] bullgard4: oh, and yes, that's redundant on call as well [06:13] How would I confirm there isn't a problem with my video card? My video card was working with X as of right before I killed the monitor. I have no idea if it was also damaged, but I doubt it. [06:13] _2: u can mount /dev/sda4 [06:14] _2 yeah its wrong [06:14] Flannel: Thank you for commenting. [06:14] <_2> DasEi an extended partition ? [06:14] gluonman: May be it finished? [06:14] <_2> ryan_ lshw | less and scroll down... [06:14] octoberdan, nope. [06:14] _2: why not ? is same like fstab [06:14] gluonman: At that point I believe stuff has been installed, enough to be bootable [06:14] octoberdan, if I start the .vdi, it takes me to the installation. [06:15] <_2> DasEi because extended partitions don't have file systems you don't format them. [06:15] octoberdan, I'll try again, but so far I haven't gotten past the installation. [06:15] gluonman: I'm not sure how it works, I'm only going off what I know about Windows... sorry. [06:15] mr_bmh:what is gparted showing about sda4 ? [06:15] a [06:15] <_2> DasEi you make logical drives within the extended partition and format them.... [06:15] k i got someone here that has a 800mhz computer with 768megs of ram, they just look at web pages and read email, im, and maybe burn a cd or 2. do i need logging services and schedule services [06:15] octoberdan, alright.

[06:17] how to install py2exe in ubuntu [06:17] My access to the web is limited [06:17] what does that output mean. Is there a burner [06:17] _2: so do I, still gotta learn, but mr_bmh left in the middle the second time, now [06:17] <_2> ryan_ i'd assume no write capability there. [06:17] subhan, that would make more sense if you ran it in wine. but seems pointless unless your exporting it for windows users. [06:18] 2DasEI [06:18] I am here [06:18] Do you have any instruction for me [06:18] _2 that's what I thought [06:18] =-O [06:18] <_2> DasEi have him try sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt [06:18] mr_bmh:right, looked under bm... so .. gparted [06:19] _2:sda4 [06:19] <_2> DasEi no sda5 [06:19] <_2> DasEi have him pastebin the output of cat /proc/partitions [06:19]  /dev/sda4 3456 14593 89465985 f W95 Ext'd (LBA), _2 [06:20] <_2> ext'd no file system there mate.

[06:21] *gparted [06:21] <_2> DasEi i give up. you fellows beet your head against the wall all you want. just leave me out of it. [06:21] please wait [06:21] I install the gparted first [06:22] Gah! No!!! Firestarter is X based :-( [06:22] i wanted to create some exe files [06:22] hy [06:22] how to use py2exe [06:22] witout using wine [06:22] octoberdan: looking for a cmd-firewall ? [06:22] menaing how to install py2exe [06:23] <_2> i will state one more time, for the record, no one ever mounts a partition. only file systems can be mounted. [06:23] DasEi: Looking to share internet connection with another computer by way of cat5, people suggested bringing firestarter [06:23] py2exe is a python module for creating exe file [06:23] subhan: I don't believe that there is a py2exe for linux at all. [06:24] subhan: Seeing as how Linux doesnt use exe files. [06:24] DasEi: What I'm definitely looking for is a way to get X working [06:24] subhan: see also http://wiki.python.org/moin/Py2Exe [06:24] Pici: Why wouldn't there be? [06:24] <_2> octoberdan it would be cross platform for one thing [06:25] subhan, linux doesn't run on exe's [06:25] octoberdan: When all else fails, use the VESA driver? [06:25] <_2> i know that "can" be done, but why. [06:25] _2: No, it would just mean that a program is outputing an exe file [06:25] Oh, I misread what he wrote I think [06:25] which is a good sftp client? nice w/ gui interface? [06:25] goldmetal, gftp [06:25] <_2> octoberdan it's ok. happens a lot in here. [06:26] Wait, no, I didn't, I stick by my statements [06:26] thx usser [06:26] goldmetal, also check out sshfs [06:26] _2: Why? He's developing for a win32 system? [06:26] I've needed to [06:26] usser, i am familiar with sshfs thx [06:26] Thanks all, it is very strange that in gparted show my sda4 is sda1 [06:26] although that was an app creating executables from perl scripts... [06:26] I have done it [06:26] thanks alot [06:26] octoberdan: if you look at the link, it just wont work. The solution is to buy a copy of windows [06:26] <_2> octoberdan and developing for windows withing linux is not cross platform ??? [06:27] danbh_intrepid: It would take me quite some time switching between terminals typing it into links2... [06:27] mr_bmh:np [06:27] _2: It's working accross platforms. Big difference. [06:28] Well, I guess... [06:28] hmm [06:28] octoberdan:did yourx-server ever ran ? [06:28] It would require that his code be closs platform. The exe would not be. [06:28] DasEi: Nope. Someone suggested I use different drivers [06:29] Floid: How would I go about that? [06:29] octoberdan:which graphic-card ? [06:29] O.o [06:29] octoberdan: /etc/x11/xorg.conf , change the device to 'vesa'. [06:30] DasEi: The adapter the Dell Inspiron 82000 has [06:30] *8200 [06:30] afk 360 days === linux__ is now known as DareDevil [06:31] octoberdan:so onboard, see, I'd suggest back up old xorg, install displayconfig-gtk, choose vesa to ge t started [06:32] aiiiiiiiii [06:32] Morning all! Does anyone know how to backup the settings from Konversation??? [06:32] DasEi: -gtk? [06:32] DasEi: I have no X [06:33] octoberdan:you can boot to terminal ... [06:33] does anyone know how to clome fron ome disc to another i would appreciate some hlelp on this subject [06:33] robelliott2125, backup ~/.Konversation or ~/.konversation [06:33] ruth, harddrives or cds/dvds? [06:33] DasEi: But I need X to run that program [06:33] ruth : see !cloning and man dd [06:34] usser, can I not backup the folder for it? [06:34] i'm can't to use wire shark capture my interface [06:34] robelliott2125, ~/.konversation is the the folder [06:34] should i use synaptic to install new packages? what about the "Add/Remove Applications" option? sorry, brand new to ubuntu here [06:34] Oh! lol [06:34] octoberdan:nope, it starts up next time you restart [06:34] Where would I shove the Driver "vesa" in my config? [06:34] talas, either or dude. But most recommend either terminal or Synaptic [06:34] anyone have recommendations what to do if the default gutsy kernel won't boot? I am tired of manually selecting an old kernel, but am leery of upgrading to hardy until things are working reasonably well... [06:35] ok, thanks [06:35] and synaptic will not resolve dependencies for me, it seems [06:35] <_2> talas synaptic. [06:35] DasEi: It's gtk based, gtk needs xserver running. [06:35] DasEi: I just tried to make sure [06:36] jdnewmil:I think hardy is stable... [06:36] i have problem [06:36] octoberdanyou tried already ? [06:36] thank [06:36] octoberdan: you tried already ? [06:36] DasEi: displayconfig-gtk? Yes, it needs X running [06:36] jdnewmil: Hardy is pretty cool, i use/like it :) [06:37] man rpcinfo writes: "SEE ALSO _RPC Programming Guide_." Where can I find it? 'apropos RPC Programming Guide' does not list it. [06:37] who ? had knowledge aboute "wireshark" [06:37] hard drive to another hard drive [06:37] DasEi: Do you know if there is an ncurses based alternative or something? [06:37] Oh man, this filters package is pretty cool :P [06:38] octoberdan: edit xorg.conf (backup before) manually , then... [06:38] VESA drivers work! [06:39] DasEi: Just tried that, worked :-) [06:39] <_2> ruth if size is == then you can use dd if not you need something that can handle size differances without breaking filesystems. [06:39] Thank you all for the support! [06:40] Floid: And for suggesting using vese :-) [06:40] Just discoverred it on Planet Ubuntu, he converrrrts any english text t' some english varrrriaton, like pirate-talk and gerrrrrman-talk, prrrrretty funny :) [06:40] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg , (backup before!) also a possibility [06:41] octoberdan: ncurse, wrong man, sry [06:41] <_2> ruth what i normally do is is boot a live cd and mount both "disks" /mnt1 and /mnt2 use tar and copy what is on wone to the other. [06:41] <_2> wone ? ! [06:42] #ubuntu+1 [06:42] * _2 counts wone 2wo thr33 .... [06:42] hello [06:42] lol [06:43] how do i configure sftp to jail users to their home directories when they connect? [06:44] i have an acronis disc but it works om microsoft but on ubuntu system === bizkit_ is now known as bizkit [06:46] DasEi: Does the configuration process ask which driver you want to use? [06:47] ·#ubuntu-es [06:47] hi [06:47] octoberdan: yes and about framebuffers and so on, but I tell you again to backup an anyhow working xorg.conf, also you could... [06:47] ·#ubuntu-es === jason_ is now known as DBO [06:47] i want to install additional fonts , what is the name of the package ? [06:47] #ubuntu-es [06:47] octoberdan: use a live cd to copy an xorg to see what it uses [06:48] <_2> !fonts > visof [06:48] visof, please see my private message [06:48] n838901, isn't sftp just a client? And wouldn't the jail config need to be done on the server? [06:49] gunsmoke: sorry for the confusion. sftp-server is what i am referring too [06:50] sftp-server puts them in the '/' of the system rather than their home directory [06:50] well looking briefly over the man page, [06:51] <_2> scponly - Restricts the commands available to scp- and sftp-users [06:51] anyone know how i can setup the synergy client on my ubuntu 8.? box to wake from mouse input from my synergy host? [06:51] n838901: What on earth is sftp-server? [06:51] n838901: Why not just use openssh-server? [06:51] <_2> maybe he's refering to vsftpd - The Very Secure FTP Daemon ? [06:51] n838901, it seems that sftp does not call directly to sftp-server instead to sshd, so I'd look there.. [06:52] Flannel: sftp-server is a subsystem of openssh === Starnestommy is now known as sheep [06:52] basically, i want to stop sftp logins from being placed into the '/' directory [06:52] sftp-server is not [06:52] intended to be called directly, but from sshd(8) [06:52] they need to be logged into their home directory [06:52] hi there! [06:53] gerrr.. that isn't what I wanted.. [06:53] i have checked all the man pages [06:53] join ##physics [06:53] n838901, I use vsftp, and it's pretty straight forward. [06:54] i came from Slackware to Ubuntu Server, so be nice :P [06:54] can someone tell me how i can find if a process is hung or its actually executing? [06:54] So if I install Ubuntu with the alternate installer, do my choices (partman mostly) to all the settings get saved anywhere? [06:54] i may need to look into vsftp [06:54]  mkartic_me:might watch it with top [06:55] n838901, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html [06:55] mkartic_me: you can use strace -pPIDNUM [06:55] mkartic_me: although, you may not be able to understand the output [06:55] SuperQ:shure, gets a new partition table [06:55] *sure [06:56] superQ, thanks! am sure i can google for more details :) [06:56] !synergy [06:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about synergy [06:56] pft [06:57] Gun_Smoke: do I need to uninstall proftpd since i plan to use vsftp? [06:57] n838901, no. [06:57] Hi everyone. I downloaded the nvidia drivers and found a tutorial on how to get tv working with the S-Video port and it works great except the video on the tv is in black and white. Can anyone assist? [06:58] <_2> Gun_Smoke i think it will auto remove it tho [06:59] I don't know when I installed.. It was to a fresh 8.04 server.. didn't have an issue. [07:00] BeBoo: if you have set its out put to PAL, change it to NTSC and vice versa and you will get colors [07:01] I have a USB modem and it is well detected....how should i proceed to connect to ninternet.It is a Dial up [07:01] <_2> yeah i don't think he'll have an issue with it Gun_Smoke, but i was testing with them all and iirc, installing proftpd or vsftpd removes other *ftpd's [07:01] jim_p: I an using NTSC-M, i also tried NTSC-J, both give the same result. I tried a few PAL options and my TV flickers but the image is still B&W [07:01] Good :D [07:02] Dabbu: if you are on gnome, double click the network icon on the tray anda window will pop up. Select ppp connection from there and i suppose you know the rest [07:02] what was the settings manager in kubuntu? [07:03] dunno.. ask them.. [07:03] kmaybe ksetting kmanager.. [07:03] jim_p: it is not showing there [07:03] BeBoo: unfortunately i dont know in that detail, and the only person i can ask is now sleeping. sorry [07:03] <_2> i asked eariler in "an other channel" why using su - username asks for a password on accounts that have had passwd -d username ran on them. anyone here have dias ? [07:03] hay [07:03] cheburek: try in the channel #kubuntu [07:04] <_2> cheburek kcontrol [07:04] it is silent there [07:04] thanks [07:04] ada yang ngertibahasa indonesia?

I'll see if anyone else has any ideas and i'll keep looking [07:04] jim_p: its ppp [07:04] caranya gimana? [07:05] Dabbu: so you do have ppp! click on it and select Preferences from the button on the side [07:05] i just installed 8.04, and it seems that i can only have one audio source at a time. i have amarok running and youtube wont play audio, i have youtube going and amarok crashes/freezes. whats up? [07:06] CorbinFox: set all your audio outputs to alsa in gnome-sound-properties [07:06] * CorbinFox goes to do that [07:06] Corbin: Welcome to the confusion of PulseAudio. [07:06] random question about partitions (for a default ubuntu install) - why is it that the swap partition is sitting inside of an extended partition? can you make the swap partition one of the 4 primary partitions? or does it have to be extended... [07:06] HI Am usind DELL Inspiron 1420 with ubuntu 10.4. Can any buddy help me to install my WEBCAM [07:07] jim_p: leavce that..suppose i am connected using wvdial and my connection get desconnected every10-20 sec or more and it get reconnected again..what will be the reason [07:07] Dabbu: i think that the user must me a member of a paricular group in order to activate dial up [07:07] Holy ___, he's from the future! [07:07] nxmehta: primary is fine [07:07] And webcams still don't work in the future. o_o [07:08] Gun_Smoke: no dice.. still logs user into the '/' directory [07:08] jetscreamer: is there some reason that ubuntu sets it up to not be primary? what's the motivation [07:08] hello room [07:08] <_2> nobody eeh ? [07:08] nobody wat [07:09] :) [07:09] will i need to restart to get the sound running? [07:09] anyone help me with synergy please? [07:09] <_2> Daft_Punk repete; i asked eariler in "an other channel" why using su - username asks for a password on accounts that have had passwd -d username ran on them. anyone here have dias ? [07:09] n838901, have a look at /etc/vsftpd.conf [07:09] CorbinFox, not erally [07:09] *not really [07:09] i did [07:09] Corbin: Should just be the individual programs, a logout/login will make sure. [07:09] because when i ran the little test button in the sound settings, it said that it was still being used by another application [07:09] just restart you're X and that's it [07:09] What can I use for Yahoo Messenger for Linux??? [07:09] because SU is superuser (root) and needs password permission because you are not logged in AS root [07:10] CorbinFox, just restart X and you're done [07:10] timido: thanks :D will do in a bit [07:10] log out. and logged in [07:10] Unless he does have something wedging the device open, of course. :) [07:10] DasEi : I am not worried about whether Hardy is stable... every time I upgrade I have to spend hours cleaning up the mess, and one thing they always say is update all packages before a version upgrade. I would not like to have to keep using my old kernel under Hardy, so I would like to figure out what the problem is before upgrading. [07:10] CorbinFox, don't forget to do adduser User audio [07:10] question: what species of bear is best? [07:10] <_2> Daft_Punk su is "switch users" su - username . [07:11] su - user name? [07:11] timido: which is? [07:11] i believed is sudo [07:11] jdnewmil: What is the issue? [07:11] HI Am usind DELL Inspiron 1420 with ubuntu 10.4. Can any buddy help me to install my WEBCAM [07:11] hi everybody [07:11] ubuntuforums.org down? [07:11] can someone help out [07:11] down for me too [07:11] _2, sorry i was thinking of suse [07:11] aji: Please clarify the version of Ubuntu you are using 10.4 does not exist. [07:11] AJC_Z0, depends if you're webcam is. Compatible with linux [07:12] aji du uname -r [07:12] i can't hear multiple audio aplications just one [07:12] <_2> Daft_Punk no problem. [07:12] sca, use pulseaudio drivers (dont always work on multiple apps) [07:12] aji -r [07:12] anyone have recommendations what to do if the default gutsy kernel won't boot? I am tired of manually selecting an old kernel, but am leery of upgrading to hardy until things are working reasonably well... [07:13] does kubuntu-desktop install KDE 3.5 or 4? [07:13] Define "won't boot." [07:13] If set to YES, local users will be (by default) placed in a chroot() jail in their home directory after login. Warning: This option has security implications, especially if the users have upload permission, or shell access. Only enable if you know what you are doing. Note that these security implications are not vsftpd specific. They apply to all FTP daemons which offer to put local users in chroot() jails. [07:13] Default: NO [07:13] How far does it get? [07:13] <_2> aji no. uname -r uname -a uname --help .... [07:13] no alsa? [07:13] And what are the chances that you're booting from a CD? [07:13] Pie-rate, 3.5 at the moment [07:13] !version [07:13] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [07:13] :)) 10.04 [07:13] Floid: grub tries to load the kernel and it freezes ... last thing printed is (boot) [07:13] TiMiDo: can i get 4? [07:13] aji: 10.04 does not exist. [07:13] try and see if there's any backports. [07:13] Can someone please tell me the name of the messenger program that can handle yahoo. msn, etc??? [07:13] sca, pulseaudio works best for multiple apps, for isntance it works on VM (windows) and linux at the same time but some things like amarok and youtube wont work together [07:13] 7.04 :) [07:13] Oh, if you can pick an old kernel I guess you're not on CD. Hmm. [07:14] Timberwolf5578: pidgin [07:14] Timberwolf5578, pidgin [07:14] _2, su does the checking against the passwd database only after it has gather credentials and command etc from you - and it is programmed to ask for a password none-theless [07:14] thanks [07:14] mmm [07:14] timido: do what? add what? [07:14] TiMiDo: "Kubuntu is available both with KDE 3.5 and KDE 4." -wikipedia [07:14] Actually, I also read "Gutsy" as "Hardy," so ignore me.

Can any buddy help me to install my WEBCAM :) [07:19] so it should run for those purposes ..i justy want to suimulate a server .and use it to study SQL [07:19] aji: sure. pm me === boshhead_ is now known as boshhead [07:20] weird issue: I've got an ubuntu VM inside VMware. When I change the ethernet card's mac address, Ubuntu loses it entirely - it stops showing up in ifconfig. Is there some standard way I can say "hey, dude, go look for an ethernet card, you should have one", or is there something weirder going on? [07:20] Cheeky: yes. do your jobs demand high cpu power? [07:20] i i am using intrepid ibex; because of the ath5k support, but it seems not to be working; even though it says it connects. i asked there, to no avail... so am asking here [07:20] any know a good Kanji recognition ( Chinese Character OCR software ) for linux? [07:20] _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 you [07:21] buy it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it, change it, melt, upgrade it [07:21] ZorbaTHut: why change the mac address? [07:21] _2, why don't you just set a password and use sudo instead - it can be configured not to prompt for a password - if dealing with passwords is such an issue for you [07:21] jim_p_busy: well iam just learning SQL right now .. and MYSQL and soon ill start to make a project of som sort after i learn .. mind you i got this machie buy driving around the university dumpster [07:22] jim, because I'm making a series of VMs based off the same preconfigured instance, and identical mac addresses = bad [07:22] <_2> unop why don't i just use all default settings.... i thought it would be obvious, i don't like default. [07:22] _2, this is far from default [07:22] can you install solaris (sun OS) on virtualbox? [07:22] $logfile indicates unclean shutdown (0,1) failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': operation not supported mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. choose one action: choice 1: if you have window then disconnect the external devices by clicking on the 'safely remove hardware' icon in the windows takebar then shutdown windows cleanly. choice 2: if you don't have windows then you can use the 'force' option for your own responsi [07:22] Cheeky: then i think you should be fine. you need to get good at command line though [07:22] so I make a copy, and tell vmware to generate new unique info for the VM, and it makes a new mac address. for some reason this is the first time this process has ever failed :) [07:23] christ... i just typed that all out... [07:23] Daft_Punk: Try asking in #vbox, its not really an Ubuntu support issue :) [07:23] _2, and if there are conveniences offered - take them, instead of making life difficult for yourself [07:23] but yeah, every time i try to use the drive it gives me that [07:23] <_2> unop i'm not the only one that has done passwd -d username [07:23] i tried the command in terminal, but it didnt work [07:23] vaportrail123: the drive was not "safely removed" on a windows pc. put it on a win pc and safely remove it [07:23] jim_p_busy: yeah man .. i have been doing it for the lkast week ever since i swicthed to ubuntu [07:23] i did [07:23] i even format [07:23] _2, yes indeed, and you aren't the only one to run into trouble after that - sudo to the rescue [07:23] *even formatted it [07:23] jim_p_busy : after downloading and double click the .deb i get error "Error Dependency is not suitable :avidemux" [07:23] i i am using intrepid ibex; because of the ath5k support, but it seems not to be working; even though it says it connects. i asked there, to no avail... so am asking here [07:24] brb [07:24] <_2> unop and again, why don't i just use all defaults... ;/ [07:24] jim_p_busy : after downloading and double click the .deb i get error "Error Dependency is not suitable :avidemux" [07:24] any ideas? [07:24] aster!sk@mpersand [07:24] <_2> unop thanks for the time of day though. [07:24] you need to dl it only from the repo. this is the only way for the dependency stuff to be cheked [07:24] Kalamansi: you need to dl it only from the repo. this is the only way for the dependency stuff to be cheked [07:25] i tried to formatt it to something other than ntfs but it wouldnt let me on my pc [07:25] sorry I didn't get back to you guys , I was and still am trying to burn the iso [07:25] jim_p_busy: should i run .. server verision of ubuntyu ? [07:25] ZorbaTHut, i know virtualbox allows you to change the mac address of your guest os surely vmware should have something similar so u wont have to "physically" do it on your guest OS [07:25] jim_p_how to dl it from the repo? [07:25] usser, no, it does. when I use that functionality, eth0 goes away [07:25] vaportrail123, the ntfsfix utility from the ntfsprogs package could help you [07:25] I'm doing the right thing on vmware, ubuntu is just losing track of the ethernet card [07:25] Cheeky: server only [07:25] how do i use that? [07:25] Pici, i did ask in vbox but no one answer so can I ask in here [07:26] <_2> unop heh one final note, my ssystem is so non-default that sudo is totally useless. whole system is "nosuid" (and yes i tested to see if that was why su was acting that way, it's not.) [07:26] Daft_Punk: Its not really on topic for this channel. [07:26] ZorbaTHut, oh i see. dont know then sorry [07:26] Pici, it sort of is related [07:26] _2, ahh, you're agentBob from #debian earlier on?? [07:27] <_2> unop i'm Agent_bob from here too. [07:27] jim_p_busy: ok .. any suggestions .. for a quick live cd .. to try and see if my hardware is compaitble [07:27] nxmehta: i think that's just how the autopartioner is set up... me i always use manual. (not real familiar with it) === _2 is now known as Agent_bob [07:27] _2, why do we even bother? [07:27] unop idk. [07:27] Cheeky: its old so i dont think it wont be compatible [07:28] unop i just asked why, and you did answer. thank you. [07:29] Cheeky: you can try puppy linux though [07:29] ok [07:30] jim_p_busy: whch puppy verison ? [07:30] how do i display stuff about the medibuntu repo? [07:30] Cheeky: the latest one [07:31] hey how to connect the digital camer in ubuntu [07:31] hey! how do i change the ubuntu exit dialog icons? what are the icon names? [07:31] krish: to get the photos? [07:31] jim_p_busy: ok man thnx [07:31] yes [07:31] to upload photos from the camera [07:32] krish, wish i knew :x it's apparently not plug'n'play in Debian like my mp3 player is [07:33] fairly 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] !medibuntu > jim_p_busy [07:33] jim_p_busy, please see my private message [07:35] bmoc you could make a larger file and migrate to it i guess.... there might even be a way to grow the fs-file.... [07:36] the scba of the filesystem in a file is something i haven't actually played with. [07:37] Agent_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 directory [07:37] thanks though. [07:38] bmoc 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 /home [07:38] what virtual os is the big one? [07:39] Big Virtual OS [07:39] =) [07:40] kindofabuzz: vmware, or virtualbox? [07:40] hmm, 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] any ATI users here? [07:40] I need help testing an app I'm making :) [07:40] vampirefrog not that i'd admit it. [07:40] i have used aptoncd to get softwares installed in my system with out having net connection [07:41] is 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] vampirefrog: me!!!! [07:41] Agent_bob: if u run "aticonfig -odgt" in a terminal, what do u get? [07:41] hello, the logout/restart/shutdown/etc dialog.. how do i change those icons? whats their names? thanks [07:41] jim_p_busy: u try that too, aticonfig -odgt or aticonfig --odgt [07:41] now its get stored as .iso file currently i have no disk to write how acn i use that softwares [07:42] now its get stored as .iso file currently i have no disk to write how can i use that softwares [07:42] fgdgfd: search in /usr/share/icons [07:42] any one [07:42] pls [07:42] vampirefrog: i dont trust atis stuff, thank you [07:42] bmoc no. and that because you started with a filesystem inside a file located in a forgien filesystem... [07:42] jim_p_busy: it's supposed to display gpu temperature but ok [07:42] okay, any idea how to fix aptitude segfaulting? :P [07:42] vampirefrog: ati tool made a mess of my brilliant xorg file [07:43] jim_p_busy, lol like searching the local drive :) [07:43] sudo aptitude install git-core --> segfault [07:43] jim_p_busy: then how about u just run aticonfig --help and pastebin the output [07:43] an ideas [07:43] bmoc if you see the concept, it's like a box in a box in a box... [07:43] i have used aptoncd to get softwares installed in my system with out having net connection [07:43] bmoc if you destroy the outer box all is lost. [07:43] Hey... I've got a problem that's kinda lingering after I removed my grub partition. [07:44] After I removed my ubuntu partition I mean. [07:44] can i ask you something ? [07:44] Agent_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] bmoc yes. [07:44] bmoc very simple and effecient [07:44] It goes like this. [07:44] Agent_bob, ty much. ;) [07:45] can we open .iso files to get contents in it [07:45] bmoc welcome [07:45] morning from europe to ALL [07:45] bmoc one final note [07:45] ZorbaTHut, does apt-get function fine? [07:45] amanu: read man page on mount... search for "loop" option [07:45] Ever 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] !iso [07:45] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [07:45] amanu, ^^ [07:45] vampirefrog: i wont ruin my xorg.conf again [07:45] Agent_bob, yes? [07:45] i dont wanna write .iso file to disk in yust wanna open it and use its data [07:46] If 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] jdnewmil:for that what can i type in terminal [07:46] amanu, see what ubottu just said [07:46] everybody should use a seperated partition for /home [07:46] jim_p_busy: as u wish. the --help line just displays usage anyway [07:46] ok [07:46] bmoc 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] I'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] Tenebrys: so you don´t have ubuntu, just vesta? [07:46] my 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] linuxhelp-Suppor, we don't live in stalinish russia :) everyone has a choice [07:46] Anyone have any idea why GParted is flaky? I have 2 HD's, one IDE that I boot from and one SATA that is currently not used. When i went to Gparted to partition the SATA drive, I noticed it did not detect the any of hte partitions on hte IDE drive === Veyron is now known as Golgo [07:47] I have Vista and XP (vista as a kind of tryout thing.) The Ubuntu partition had stopped working. [07:47] I can boot into both Windows and Linus on the drive (Dual boot), so i know it is partitioned [07:47] in soviet russia, the partition uses YOU as home [07:47] So I erased it. [07:47] Agent_bob, that sounds like a plan. going to read up alittle so I dont bork it up. ty so much for the advice. [07:47] sorry i can't scroll backwards to the guy who asked for home [07:47] vampirefrog: I can has real help plzkthanxbai [07:48] bmoc welcome. [07:48] Tenebrys: do a repair install with your vista disc and that´ll fix it [07:48] i use command line irc [07:48] Repair install... hmmmmmm. Would that do damage to existing files and setups? [07:48] no [07:48] linuxhelp-Suppor the page-up not work ? [07:49] just make sure it only repairs the vista bootloader [07:49] Any ideas? Should I resend my question? [07:49] Alright. 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] i do not often use console-irc but at my work i must use [07:49] I'll be back soon. [07:49] can't setup xchat..:-( [07:51] linuxhelp-Suppor irssi supports scroll-back-buffering accessable via page-up as does also epic/bitchx not sure what client you are using [07:51] hi guys [07:52] linuxhelp-Suppor if xchat-text then i simpathize with you... [07:52] use iirc [07:53] was long time ago i was at irc..sorry [07:53] Anyone have any idea why GParted is flaky? I have 2 HD's, one IDE that I boot from and one SATA that is currently not used. When i went to Gparted to partition the SATA drive, I noticed it did not detect the any of the partitions on the IDE drive [07:53] but after some fresh setups of hardy i have seen ubuntu channel now i am here [07:54] linuxhelp-Suppor, welcome [07:54] is there any commoin workaround for sata based systems not being able to completely turn off by shutdown or similar instructions? error scanning IDE devs is the last error msg [07:55] Hello :-) [07:55] hi [07:55] hello there! [07:55] here in germany ubuntu pc are more popular then ever :-) [07:56] OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG Please someone help [07:56] thanks to M$-Viesta [07:56] ;-) [07:56] Hm, accidently left and perhaps missed an answer [07:56] :) [07:56] Anyone have any idea why GParted is flaky? I have 2 HD's, one IDE that I boot from and one SATA that is currently not used. When i went to Gparted to partition the SATA drive, I noticed it did not detect the any of the partitions on the IDE drive [07:56] linuxhelp-Suppor, please join #ubuntu-offtopic , i want to ask you about that [07:56] !rufus [07:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about rufus [07:56] I 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!!!! [07:57] No luck. And here's the odd part. [07:58] Rufus: can you use an ubuntu desktop live cd an copy it off? [07:58] how can i mount .iso file in ubuntu [07:58] I might be able to, but I'd really like to fix this [07:58] I used the Vista bootloader modifier "EasyBCD" earlier to configure my system so that I could boot either Vista or XP. [07:58] !info gnome-mount | amanu [07:58] Rufus: would be a good idea to do that first just in case [07:58] amanu: 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 kB [07:59] well, that could be a little difficult, you see I have about 1tb of data on this server, and not enough HDD space anywhere else [07:59] It 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] hateball:i want to mount .iso file in my desktop how can i? [08:00] amanu, gnome-mount [08:00] hi how to destroy mi swap seem to don't work, and maybe make linux crash, what should i do ? [08:00] gnome-mount "after that any thing /text needed" [08:00] Essentially, 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] amanu mount -o loop file.iso /some/where [08:00] amanu, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_mount.2Funmount_Image_.28ISO.29_files_without_burning [08:01] amanu, although its a page for edgey the commands are still the same [08:01] Agent_bob:ok i will try now [08:01] amanu, you can discover how to use partcular commands with $ man command [08:01] If I try to boot straight from my hard-drive, it says "grub loading... error 17" and I can't get through. [08:02] amanu, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_mount.2Funmount_Image_.28ISO.29_files_without_burning [08:02] amanu, follow that...three steps required [08:02] It's done this ever since I replaced my Ubuntu partition with Windows Vista. [08:02] Tenebrys: did you try the repair install? [08:02] anyone 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 space [08:02] amanu, or you can take the easy way out and use the gui : gnome-mount [08:02] You mean the startup repair? [08:02] I did. It said no problems found. [08:02] Tenebrys: hmm [08:02] I also tried bootsect.exe. [08:03] airtonix gui : gnome-mount how to get this [08:03] Tenebrys partition numbers changed ? [08:03] amanu, sudo apt-get install gnome-mount [08:03] ya im installing sudo apt-get install gnome-mount [08:03] amanu, is if not called gnome-mount you can use : apt-cache search iso | grep mount [08:03] Tenebrys: 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] i installed [08:04] Yeah. 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] does this statement mean " 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 115 not upgraded." its not installed [08:04] Tenebrys: you need to find a way to install the vista bootloader to the mbr. grub is in your mbr [08:04] I'm trying recovery mode [08:04] Tenebrys MBR [08:04] amanu, 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 images [08:05] amanu, that statement means you already have gnome-mount installed [08:05] Ahhhh. [08:05] ok then what to do? [08:05] amanu, look in your application menu [08:05] is there any way of undoing an upgrade from 6 to 8? [08:05] Rufus heh i wish. [08:05] lol [08:05] me too [08:06] aaaaaarh [08:06] I'm going to kill my self if I can't get this working [08:06] airtonix: in applications-> where to get [08:06] hmmmmm... [08:06] accesories,internet? [08:06] So essentially Microsoft should (hopefully) have a program for rebuilding the MBR? [08:06] airtonix:accesories,internet? [08:06] FKKKKKK [08:07] Does ubuntu support cluster computing ? [08:07] Rufus linux is developed on the itialian racing theory. "what is behind you is not important" [08:07] Rufus: 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 there [08:07] amanu, sorry my bad...that prog doesnt put a option in your menus [08:07] airtonix:i cant get what u said [08:08] Tenebrys: yes google it. maybe something like fixmbr i believe [08:08] SkywaIker linux is a clustering os yes [08:08] amanu, i mean : the program you just installed does not create menu entry [08:08] amanu, you actually want sudo apt-get install gmountiso [08:08] !gmountiso| amanu [08:08] ok can i try this sudo apt-get install gmountiso [08:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about gmountiso [08:08] what does this mean? "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/5f53ea6d-f1a1-42e9-837f-d6f49433095c does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" [08:08] ya its getting installed [08:09] it can´t find the disk [08:09] Alright, I'll have a look. Thanks! [08:09] but the disk is there [08:09] amanu, gmountiso will be in applications -> system tools [08:09] it was all working 10 minutes ago [08:09] FK [08:09] yes i opened it [08:09] Rufus means the initramfs can't find a filesystem with that UUID [08:09] Agnent_bob: and how do I fix that? [08:10] Rufus: for future reference, when upgrading it is always safer to back up data and do a clean install [08:10] here its asking to things [08:10] Rufus rebuild the initramfs.img file ... [08:10] how do I edit gru to change my default boot partition? [08:10] 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] grub* [08:10] how bob> [08:10] amanu, might want to save this webpage to your home folder for future reference: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy [08:10] what does mount point mean? [08:10] ok i will [08:10] it's on a raid 1 array, does that make a difference? it's a hardware raid card [08:11] amanu, a mount point is where the devie will be exposed for access to you...its almost always a folder you create [08:11] what does mount point mean? [08:11] amanu: mount point is the directory you want the partition to store the contents of [08:11] ok [08:11] Rufus 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 environment [08:11] fenerli7, 'store' is the proper description [08:11] how to install conky? [08:11] err [08:11] stampy [08:11] no no [08:11] okay agent, now in english???? Sorto of a noob here [08:11] FedererRoger: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:12] omg i cant rememebr the name [08:12] My partition table is corrupted [08:12] Rufus where is your root file system, ? [08:12] fenerli7, a mount point is not a place of storage....it is a place of access [08:12] For some reason, there is an overlap [08:12] on my raid array [08:12] how to install "launchy" !!!!

[08:14] amanu, the files you download and install via apt-get/synaptics/add-remove are all cached in the /var/cache/apt/archive folder [08:14] I just upgraded from 6 to 8 and now my server doesn' tboot [08:14] That's the output of fdisk and gpart [08:14] I just don't know how to fix it [08:14] brandonmpace: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/nvidia-glx-177 [08:15] amanu, correction: /var/cache/apt/archives [08:15] fenerli7: I would say to compile it yourself from nvidia´s website [08:15] how to install "launchy" !!!! Help!! [08:15] amanu, a programm called apt-on-cd can help you make backups of those packages...

[08:16] hello [08:16] can i get these to any linux working machine and just install it? [08:16] FedererRoger i think you may want to look at gnome-do [08:16] jim_p_busy: i was following this howto and it said to set my horizSync to 30-60 and my vertRefresh to 47 or something. i set the horizSync to 28-33 and the vertRefresh to 42-72 and it worked!

[08:16] airtonix: Launchy has a Linux version now [08:16] amanu, and only ubuntu machines that are the same version as yours [08:17] So, the whole time i thought it was teh cable, the tv... it was the dern rates [08:17] FedererRoger, install it and find out....sudo apt-get install gnome-do [08:17] now, the tv is set to sit to the right of screen 0 (my lcd) [08:17] i can't move my mouse to it though [08:17] airtonix: Any idea how to fix overlapping partition tables?

[08:19] FedererRoger, yum doesnt apply on debian based systems [08:19] Agent_bob, and guess what command i would likley be using next? [08:19] FedererRoger: launchy isn't in Ubuntu repos, you have to download the package (see link above) [08:19] airtonix: Aint Ubuntu based on REDHAT ? [08:19] no [08:19] FedererRoger, no [08:19] it's back! for some reason there are now two installs and the first (default) one didn't load [08:19] DEBIAN [08:20] thanks for your help guys [08:20] I really do appreciate it [08:20] FedererRoger, hence it's consistent use of apt-get since warty [08:20] morning all [08:20] does anyone remember how to make a case script?

[08:22] anyone 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 space [08:23] user_: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/testbranch.html [08:23] Poke-SmOt, not at all - there are channels for almost everything under the sun [08:23] when you start virtualbox there are icons for different types of OS's by the name of the VM, where are those icons located? [08:23] FedererRoger: I think the new Ubuntu has something for that, Fedora 9 also has that too [08:23] it keeps giving me the error Size to small when i try to just press enter [08:23] and i can't slide the partion spacer because the mouse won't work [08:23] airtonix:ok i will do the same [08:23] when i look at channel list, almost all the channels are kernal help channels [08:23] fenerli7: so Fedora i much superior to Ubuntu? [08:23] thank u [08:23] do you think a regular ball mouse might work? [08:23] thank you [08:23] FedererRoger: in some aspects [08:23] !install | FedererRoger [08:23] FedererRoger: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

OR just copy the liveCD iso to the usb stick [08:24] Flannel: i just want to boot with Ubuntu in any hardware [08:25] it's epic failure for me, i'm actually depressed irl [08:25] xye: what was step 4? [08:25] FedererRoger, the instructions you want are on that page [08:25] partitioning? [08:25] the partioning step [08:25] xye: calm down first [08:25] okok ill read [08:25] fenerli7: It also explains the installing to usb devices. [08:25] if doesnt work, ill ask refund [08:25] xye: what's the problem? [08:25] xye: partitioning fails? [08:25] anyone ever had a problem with your applications menu in gnome not working? [08:25] Flannel: my bad [08:25] my mouse won't work so I can't slide the partioner and i try using the keyboard, but everytime i try to partion it says "size to small" [08:25] FedererRoger, if it does not work look at your hardware :P [08:25] xye: can't you manually calculate values? [08:26] xye: USB mouse? [08:26] yea I was going to try to do the manual install [08:26] yea it's a USB mouse [08:26] but i don't want to end up messing up, since im installing this along side my windows install [08:26] xye: on a basic text based installation you wont need a mouse [08:26] * ElijahDuBarryVT I'm back! [08:26] when you start virtualbox there are icons for different types of OS's by the name of the VM, where are those icons located? [08:26] OMFG best video I have seen in a long time: http://gramatan.livejournal.com/46533.html sorry, had to share that with you. [08:26] xye: do you have a system dedicated to ubuntu? [08:27] xye, if you hit tab that should take u to the next input box.. eliminating the need for a mouse [08:27] xye: why do you need to slide the slider, can't you manually calcualte the values (e.g. start point, size, end point)? [08:27] tab doesn't work I tried that. [08:27] No, im pretty new to manual partitioning [08:27] I know i need to set a root and swap size from what I've read so far, but i'm still somewhat lost. [08:27] xye, have u tried running something like gparted to partition your drives first.. then installing ? [08:28] Nope, just using the ubuntu cd I burned [08:28] xye: again: calm down :) people will help you out in here if you ask politely [08:28] Anyone know why it might be saying Size to small? it shows 120gigs free for the ubuntu install [08:29] i'm sorry, i'm in a huge rush but I do appologize, it's just late here=[ [08:29] xye:what uppp [08:29] xye: never ran into this installing many systems [08:29] xye:whats uppp [08:29] xye, ok, id give that a try if i were you... you can download it for free from here http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php [08:29] wtf? just use the ubuntu live CD mode? [08:29] gparted is on that [08:29] yea i thought gparted came on the live cd. [08:29] xye, this will mean that u dont have to manually edit your partition [08:29] isn't that what i'm using? [08:30] B3z3rk3r: gparted wont do anything else the ubuntu installation partitioning dialogue does === sourcode is now known as sourcode[0] [08:30] the thing in the install is something else (not hparted) [08:30] harro dere xye [08:30] lul [08:30] IV? [08:30] WTF? [08:30] yea but the gparted live cd is more stable and works when gparted on ubuntu doesn´t [08:30] lul [08:30] anyone know how to download an entire directory with wget, without downloading the directories above it? [08:30] tenX: but he can't use the ubuntu install one due to a mouse problem [08:30] i autojoin into this channel/server man [08:30] never been fucked to change the commands [08:30] subdolus: you mean under it? i.e. children? [08:30] anyway, im goin to that other place now, peace [08:30] intravenous: Please watch your language. [08:30] -m seem to grab anything and everything within in the first dir [08:30] fenerli7: okay installing systems i stick to text based mode usually [08:30] fenerli7: yeah, pretty much [08:30] when you start virtualbox there are icons for different types of OS's by the name of the VM, where are those icons located? [08:31] i have been installing a package suddenly i try to close it but it was not responding === dontchoke__ is now known as dontchoke [08:31] how to force quit [08:31] a program [08:31] sorry i have a quick question - new to xchat - how do i join an irc server which isnt listed in my server list? [08:31] Hmmm [08:31] back later [08:31] I guess I shall try the TXT installation. [08:31] fenerli7: but I dont want it to grab the parent dirs [08:31] Do you think a regular ball mouse might work since my USB lazer mouse won't? [08:31] monotonous, /server irc.whatever.org [08:31] fenerli7: generally i will never see the use in gui usage [08:31] monotonous, or maybe /connect, but i think that's irssi [08:31] xye, have u checked the forums for your mouse? [08:31] sweet thanks ciel420 [08:32] Does anyone know anything about configuring SLiM ? [08:32] monotonous, you can also just add the server to your network list [08:32] xye: lazer = razer? [08:32] is there a way to make ubuntu client work as a server? [08:32] Nope, it's a mx518 [08:32] xye, thats a logitech right? [08:32] Yes it is [08:32] tenX: I kind of agree with you, especially having a blind friend who depends on CLI and screen readers... [08:32] user_, what type of server though? [08:33] i think thats what iv got.. havent had a prob with it ? [08:33] cant i have like "task manager" in xp here to force quit a program which is not respondinggg? [08:33] amanu: try system-monitor [08:33] perhaps it isnt the mouse, but a corrupted driver of some sort? [08:33] yes,of course [08:33] strange, im still unsure why it says ' size too small ' when it automatically gives 120gigs to the ubuntu installation? [08:33] * B3z3rk3r waves at Daft_Punk [08:33] im not using drivers for the mouse, it's plug n play [08:33] the kind of server wher I can connect from another computer? [08:33] amanu, you want to right click on the gnome-panel and click "add to panel" [08:33] B3z3rk3r, waives back [08:33] if wget cant do it, what do you guys use as a download manager? [08:33] user_: you will have to read up a lot. but in general you can of course let your client installation run server type of services. the client installation is just a direct user approach [08:34] im after something that can grab specific entire dirs [08:34] ok [08:34] Any gnome-mud users here? [08:34] amanu, then look for a widget called 'force quit' [08:34] user_: you can install any kind of server apps if you want [08:34] Daft_Punk, sup man? hows things? [08:34] I appreaciate the help everyone, I need to sleep. I'll try to txt installation and check back in here tomorrow. Take care! [08:34] xye, good luck [08:34] JaseX: CLI? can you help me out on that? [08:34] amanu, to use it ...click on the force-quit icon on your panel then click on the misbehaving app [08:34] B3z3rk3r, i am tired [08:34] :( [08:34] good luck [08:34] a screen reader? [08:34] like, I want to be able to access my computer through the internet from another computer [08:34] :) [08:35] anyone? [08:35] Daft_Punk, lol.. me too dude... way too much math HW to do still :( [08:35] tenX: you need a cli screen reader? [08:35] amanu, you can do the same thing via command line : sudo killall appname -9 [08:35] can ubuntu server version run on a p2 266 MHZ .. with 128 ram ..an using MySQL over my home network? [08:35] user_, see radmin, or VNC [08:35] Gnome menu when clicked highlights but does not display the menu, anyone any ideas? [08:35] JaseX: no :) just wondering what cli stands for. could as well look it up [08:35] ok [08:35] Command line interface [08:35] Flannel: aint working! i want to make the same as DAMN SMALL LINUX but with ubuntu, is that possible? [08:35] I tried to install an ubuntu server directly but the GUI woudn't work [08:35] JaseX: :D lol. thats my biz. excuse me [08:36] Cheeky, should be able ...just dont expect to service a netowrk of 10 people accessing at the same time with awesome results [08:36] airtonix:i done the same [08:36] Cheeky: I have run the ubuntu desktop on 350 Mhz so I don´t see why a CLI interface would not work [08:36] JaseX: simply didnt know the abbreviation [08:36] has anyone installed a radeon x1160? i cant get mine working [08:36] Ah, @ tenX [08:36] FedererRoger: if you are patient enough, yes [08:36] Man i'm doing two things at once... [08:37] FedererRoger: you need a bare minimum installation right? [08:37] !radeon [08:37] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:37] airtonix: nah ,man .. iam learning SQL using MySQL .. just bought a book iam gonna learn .. so was wonering i coul .. and i woulbe using a ssh to get intothe mysql on the server right [08:37] airtonix: iwant t oconfigure my webcam (in built to my laptop) here i will use it ion xp but i cant find it here how can i [08:37] Ubuntu on this laptop updating and crud... and on the iMac upgrading from etch to lenny. [08:37] JaseX: not a native speaker. but i live, get up, go to sleep with 16 colors and bash [08:37] Cheeky, should be fine [08:37] brandonmpace: nice iam about toinstall it .. is it staright forwar set up ? === jim_p_busy is now known as jim_p [08:37] @ tenX I hear you there, I feel more comfortable half the time with CLI programs anyways. [08:38] jim_p_busy: yeah, but no a bare install , i want to boot the OS from an USB stick, but i want to it with ubuntu [08:38] amanu, webcams and wifi cards are two things that are not so well covered in ubuntu yet.. [08:38] ok [08:38] Cheeky: I have not used the server but if it is anything like the desktop version yes [08:38] FedererRoger: there are instructions on pendrivelinux.org for this [08:38] amanu: what laptop? [08:38] hcl [08:38] brandonmpace: iam about to fin out i guess ; i got this machine .. in a dumpster lool [08:38] any help on how I can make my ubtuntu client to run server applications? [08:38] pendrivelinux.org << doesnt work [08:39] user_: just install them?? [08:39] Cheeky: lol I have an 8086 in my garage [08:39] Cheeky, it is very simple from the menu, however you have been advised elsewhere already that a complex database will cripple that box and make it really slow and unresponsive you choose the lamp options from the install menu and then install openssh-server and have fun but I am warning you a lack of speed will be frustrating [08:39] amanu: try learning what your laptop has for a camera, and then see what you have to install to maybe get it to work. [08:39] I know most hp Pavilion laptops built in cams work fine out of box with Cheese [08:39] through the terminal? [08:39] Cheeky: that would be a good learning box, the one you got [08:39] and with pidgin... [08:39] Not sure with your laptop though. [08:39] JaseX:how and from where can i learn it [08:40] brandonmpace: back from last night ;) still am having issues [08:40] wenas [08:40] JaseX: i wasn´t aware pidgin supported webcams... you MUST mean Amsn [08:40] FedererRoger: its pendrivelinux.com , sorry [08:40] amanu: my friend the ubuntuforums.org have lots of posts pertaining on how to find all this out... i'm not sure on the command as to find out a webcam. [08:40] You're right brandonmpace [08:40] It's 4 AM here. [08:40] !webcam [08:40] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [08:40] ok [08:40] I apologize. [08:40] lol no biggie [08:41] just makin sure [08:41] i got excited for a sec lol [08:41] JaseX, amanu since most webcams are connected to the main system via a usb bus...you could start with : lsusb...or lspci to at least determine if ubuntu can see your device [08:41] ah hey as i appear to have joined this chan for interest two questions having bothered me some time ago i'd like to address to you ubuntu experts in here: first issue - what switch will prevent apt-get/aptitude updates from kernel or /boot/grub/menu.lst upgrades? [08:41] ok i will check it now [08:42] not safe-upgrade [08:42] jim_p: thanks! [08:42] FedererRoger: you are welcome [08:42] amanu, have a look through the ubuntu forums in the tutorials and tips section for any webcam threads that might be there [08:42] ok [08:42] jim_p: thanks! i want to do DAMN SMALL LINUX but with UBUNTU... DSL sucks [08:43] ompaul: iam screwed... the cd rom was deteted but wont let me install it coz the cd rom .. is slow .. how can i install it through a netwrok .. is that even possbible ? [08:43] lol [08:43] FedererRoger: I would wait for fluxbuntu 8.10 to be made then. [08:43] tenX, if i remember right, kernel upgrades are not automatic -- and even if you install a new kernel you'll be warned [08:43] and just dd that onto a thumbdrive. [08:43] Cheeky, got a usb port on the box and will it support booting from usb [08:43] !webcam | amanu [08:43] amanu: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [08:43] Anyways ubuntu 8.10 will support installing to a usb thumbdrive from within ubuntu itself. [08:44] JaseX: why flubuntu?? why not use ubuntu? [08:44] Fluxbuntu is faster being based off the fluxbox wm rather than the gnome de [08:44] ompaul: no .. the problem, is that i have a usb dvd rom .. and it didnt give the opton to book from usb cd rom .. [08:44] unop: my systems dont have auto updates, i simply wonder if there is some config file switch telling apt to leave out kernel updates [08:44] JaseX, you can install fluxbox on ubuntu and switch desktops - to pretty much the same effect [08:44] !install | Cheeky [08:44] Cheeky: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD?

[08:45] You mean 128 MB [08:45] The highest pen drive I own... is 8gb, the highest one I know of is 16 gb [08:45] JaseX: why not Gnome? 128 gb [08:45] JaseX: there is a 32 GB now [08:45] there is no 128 gb usb stick === Initial_2 is now known as Initial_M [08:46] brandonmpace: so they released it finally? [08:46] Have to grab one. [08:46] tenX, by automatic i mean - newer kernels are not pulled in via apt-get/aptitude upgrade - you have to explicitly install the newer kernels to get them. [08:46] yep [08:46] www.newegg.com has them [08:46] I'm waiting for a 32gig sdhc card to come in the mail [08:46] lol [08:46] ah newegg.com = friend :D [08:46] JaseX: the space is irrelevant, i want FULL DESKTOP , with GNOME and all the crap + UBUNTU in my USB stick [08:46] FedererRoger: 128 mb is not enough. [08:46] I wouldn't mind something more lean than stock ubuntu, but the problem has been intergration with other systems, like SMB shares. Only (k)ubuntu seems to support such things in a simple way. [08:46] The space is relevant sir @ FedererRoger [08:46] Can anyone confirm me that Lineage2 (Interlude Chronicle) isn't able to run @ wine even if the server has no gameguard? [08:46] FedererRoger: 128 GIGAbytes [08:47] FedererRoger: that will take at least a 4 gig, possible a 2 gig [08:47] I have issues running it from a 2 gigabyte thumbdrive [08:47] unop: you mean choosing dist-upgrade rather to upgrade or safe-upgrade? [08:47] FedererRoger: there's no such thing as 128 Gigabyte thumbdrive. is what i'm telling you. [08:47] brandonmpace: wow .. ojk .. which on is the easies.. [08:47] Cheeky: ? [08:47] ompaul: i wanan try the new box .. heeheh .. how could i do this ? [08:48] JaseX: thats irrelevant, i have a 128 GIGAs thumb , my question is if there is any limitation to Put a FULL ubuntu desktop in it? [08:48] FedererRoger: yes because you have no 128 gigabyte thumbdrive sir. [08:48] Cheeky, move your cd / dvd to it temporarily [08:48] You have a 128 megabyte thumbdrive. [08:48] IT IS VERY Relevant my dear friend. [08:48] full ubuntu desktop needs 4 gigs for stability and full install [08:48] ompaul: can i pm you ? [08:49] JaseX: forget about the space, i have there 50gb of information already, and i want to install UBUNTU [08:49] Cheeky, go on [08:49] Irrelevant [08:49] brandonmpace: not necessarily... if you chop out crap like openoffice and evolution and the likes. [08:49] relevant sir. [08:49] tenX, 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 kernel [08:49] Why won't you listen. [08:49] YOU cannot forget about the space. [08:49] Can anyone confirm me that Lineage2 (Interlude Chronicle) isn't able to run @ wine even if the server has no gameguard? [08:49] The space is the crucial basis. [08:50] I'd be damned if you could efficiently run a xubuntu install from 128mb [08:50] JaseX: I think we should drop the space issue. FedererRoger you need 4 gigabytes of free space on the drive as long as you have a decent amount of ram [08:50] here's your answer FedererRoger, it's impossible to do what you are trying to do. give up. [08:50] hi can anyone help me with my wifi? i followed these directions: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo to get the -ng madwifi drivers.. but it doesn't show up in my iwconfig. any help please, i am desparate [08:50] unop: thanks for that hint as i will have to fight with myself changing long time behaviour :/ [08:50] FedererRoger: forget DSL, try Puppy Linux [08:51] mm [08:51] puppy requires slightly more than 128 mb unless you just copy the cd files [08:51] I Have 128 gigabytes, so its not a problem for me [08:51] FAJ: what is the wireless chipset? [08:51] brandonmpace: exactly, but he wants the full experience, and the iso can be modified. [08:52] !usb | FedererRoger read this [08:52] FedererRoger read this: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [08:52] FedererRoger: apparently so, that's why it's telling you it won't install.

[09:01] I missed it opping you. [09:01] help?

[09:02] anyone able to help with setting up this Logitech USB mic...the links i seem to go to seem to all be down. -.- [09:02] Jasex: what was your problem ? [09:02] But the server i was using infact had no game guard. [09:02] That way it was supposed to be running [09:02] I forgot to finish the updates... and ever since, my wine hasn't worked. [09:02] FAJ: I´m sure that 8.10 will work wonders for you as it adds a bunch of hardware support [09:02] how can i find weather my system is a 32 bit or 64 bit [09:03] one [09:03] okay, this is odd. [09:03] amanu. [09:03] what processor do you have? [09:03] brandonmpace: i just came from 8,10; it 'works' but it doesn't actually work [09:03] Do you know @ amanu?

[09:03] Even the program on the Vista recovery console "bootrec.exe /fixmbr" said "the operation completed successfully" but upon bootup I still got grub error 17. [09:03] FAJ 8.10 isn't finished, that's why :p [09:03] JaseX: i could run it but it was freezing at Almost all cities (not some starting villages) everything else was working great... it was giving me some Errors "Fixme" smth @ terminal [09:03] JaseX: this is true.... [09:03] FAJ: that´s what I´m saying is that by release date it should work, but not yet lol [09:03] lol ok. [09:04] do we have any command to know type of my processor [09:04] I'm having a weird issue with the kernel i'm using faj... don't feel bad. [09:04] Yes [09:04] is ubuntuforums.org down for anyone else? [09:04] amanu do you want weather on your panel bar? [09:04] Yeah, I can't get in. [09:04] amanu cat /proc/cpuinfo [09:04] me neither [09:04] @amanu try this [09:04] brandonmpace: trying directions; svn isn't working; clienterror; invalid parsing arguments [09:05] sudo lshw -html > your-file-name.html [09:05] FAJ: sigh... computers [09:05] FedererRoger, telnet works - I think you are trolling [09:05] ya.... [09:05] It works wonders for me @ amanu [09:05] <^Jimbo^> edo32mb: Yes [09:05] Are there any other ways to fix up the master boot record other than the "bootrec.exe /fixmbr" program? I just need to get grub out of there so I can boot normally again, do whatever it was I did to it in the first place. I had used some kind of grub boot ISO to write it in. [09:05] so what should i do brandonmpace ';) [09:05] FAJ i've missed your problem... reinstate please? [09:05] model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5250 @ 1.50GHz [09:05] is im claet?

[09:06] my college said may be ur proceesor wont support 64 bit [09:06] amanu, ubuntu or fedora [09:06] ok don´t follow their directions FAJ but instead download this to your home directory and compile it http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-trunk-current.tar.gz [09:07] anyone familiar with setting up Logitech USB mic? [09:07] FedererRoger, telnet to what - which port etc [09:07] fedora [09:07] FAJ: hopefully that works [09:07] Your processor will amanu [09:07] Try Ubuntu 64bit. [09:07] amanu, best ask in #fedora for that [09:07] So, yeah, I'm a little bit stuck, with a broken grub in my MBR apparently that prevents normal bootup. [09:07] JaseX:ok do u have same processor? [09:07] brandonmpace: sudo make sudo make install?

[09:17] just ssh, but i suppose it is possible to do either using DISPLAY [09:17] i am just missing someting [09:18] JaseX: bios-battery empty? [09:18] plovs: well if you're doing ssh localhost for isntance, you'd automatically be connected to a terminal. [09:18] brandonmpace: it didn't create any new wifi/ath0 in ifconfig [09:18] yes but i want to run apps on the remote machine (mplayer) [09:18] ... [09:18] moinsen [09:18] you'd have to tunnel x over ssh [09:19] or you could just use vino combined with vinagre [09:19] then i get it on my laptop, not my desktop i am trying to get it to show on [09:19] It's what I use. [09:19] brandonmpace: following troubleshoot; there is nothing under ifconfig -a either [09:19] FAJ: hmm i´m still thinking. I know you don´t exactly want to wait til the 30th of october lol [09:19] brandonmpace: ummm ya lol [09:19] i could try ndiswrapper? [09:19] plovs, try vinagre... if you have vino already running on your desktop. [09:19] JaseX: ok ... looking [09:19] plovs: if not run vino-preferences on your desktop [09:20] Can anyone confirm me that Lineage2 (Interlude Chronicle) isn't able to run @ wine even if the server has no gameguard? [09:20] plovs: and set it up accordingly... on my laptop just to let you know, I had to set my desktop to allow connections from more than just local. [09:20] gah [09:20] FAJ: yes you can [09:20] plovs: meaning I unchecked allow local connections only. [09:20] FAJ: why not? [09:20] smartk [09:21] brandonmpace: ok,,,, [09:21] JaseX: ah, vino is vnc, i want to watch a movie on the remote box, will be to slow [09:21] what i want is use my laptop as a remote control for my desktop where i run mplayer to show a movie [09:21] well you could always just stream the media...

[09:23] lsusb [09:23] brandonmpace: I have a similar graphics card and I had to use the nvidia-legacy drivers. [09:24] brandonmpace: it says that it is connected through ndiswrapper; any way to test it lol [09:24] He said it was checked but not working. [09:24] JaseX: I have that EXACT video card right in front of me [09:24] dell optiplex? [09:24] lol [09:24] brandonmpace: well I'll let you have this one then :D mine's a slightly different model, and all I know is enabling restricted drivers would not work for me.

[09:28] [09:28] Massiv0r: I can report success in running lineage 2 in virtual box with a winxp guest [09:28] but that's to be expected. [09:28] If your computer is up to par, it should handle it. [09:28] brandonmpace: yes i even succesfulled installed Direct X and games like cod2 were Running Great even @ Multiplayer [09:28] Massiv0r: try getting the latest wine from http://www.winehq.org/ === Q_Continuum is now known as Q_Contoxicated [09:29] Massiv0r, it was feisty last time, i tihnk [09:29] Guys, how to run .msi files with wine?

[09:35] im having trouble getting it to work with the x1650 [09:35] Your machine can handle it I promise [09:36] Massiv0r: he's right. [09:36] ZKAT8IT: is that in a laptop? [09:36] guys the server i play has like 3k ppl online and i have to pariticipate at Sieges and Raids :/ [09:36] Windows XP does not run as sloppily in virtualbox as natively. [09:36] if i enable the 3d, when it reboots ubuntu loads but then the screen goes black before i get t the login screen [09:36] brandonmpace: desktop [09:36] Massiv0r: just try, if it doesn't work to par, you can hate me all you want. [09:36] It is a perfect option... [09:36] and one worth trying. [09:37] ZKAT8IT: If you wait until 8.10 I´m sure the final release will have better support for this [09:37] You are sure i will have good Results? [09:37] Massiv0r: as good as wine would most likely give you [09:37] how long will that be? [09:37] ZKAT8IT: october 30 [09:37] Great,now how can i setup a Virtual Box? [09:37] Let's put it this way Massiv0r I can run perfect world, and world of warcraft just fine [09:37] rblst: you´re welcome [09:37] will it be as simple as an apt-get update? [09:37] Massiv0r: I'd recommend the version from virtualbox.org [09:37] your pc is uber mine is like "retarded" [09:38] or you could try the repository one. [09:38] Jasex: anyway i mean i need to install Full winxp at my linux hd? [09:38] ZKAT8IT: your update popup will tell you that there is a distro upgrade available [09:38] sudo apt-get install virtualbox [09:38] I think [09:38] Massiv0r: yes, but in a virtual file... [09:38] ok, thanks brandonmpace [09:39] can i do that at another HD ? cause my main linux one has low size [09:39] Massiv0r: you will more than likely need only to spare 12 gigs to avirtual hard drive... probably 8 or 10 [09:39] ZKAT8IT: a fresh install is recommended though to avoid possible problems [09:39] Massiv0r: yes [09:39] Massiv0r: I believe so, as long as that HD is accessible by linux already [09:39] as jasex said [09:39] lol, ive already fresh installed like 5 times in the past 6 hours trying to get this driver working [09:39] it's ntfs type with 80gb and another one with 65gb [09:39] lol fun i know [09:39] ZKAT8IT: what are you having issues with? [09:39] guys, about that .msi installing, the code is this - "msiexec /i fileinstaller.msi" , but where i should place my .msi file to run it with this code? [09:40] on desktop? [09:40] JaseX: hardware incompatibility [09:40] trying to get an ATI Radeon x1650 working with 3d support [09:40] <_moro_bana_> hello, when i boot into my freshly installed debian, i get this /bin/sh: cant access tty;job control turned off. it cant lauch the desktop. help [09:40] .... ZKAT8IT envyng-gtk doesn't handle that? [09:40] ZKAT8iT i had exactly the same problem,it's hardware as they said,wait till next ubuntu release just [09:41] hello everyone, i just recently installed ubuntu in a dual boot with winxp and i would like the default option for OS to be windows instead of ubuntu. How do i change that in the grub menu? [09:41] meh, guess ill wait, was hoping never needing to touch the thing again [09:41] but guys with Virtual Box i can have 3D Acceleration Enabled ? [09:42] Massiv0r: nope [09:42] dukes install startupmanager [09:42] C0R3-X: puth the file in your $PATH, best in the directory you are running wine from [09:42] it can also be your Nvidia drivers by the way [09:42] DuKeS: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:42] ok [09:42] so if jim_p is right,i won't be able to play games at Virtual Box [09:42] DuKeS: find the default and count from 0 until you get to the windows option if you want that [09:42] Massiv0r: you wont. vbox relies on virtual hardware [09:42] Massiv0r: 3D acceleration is kind of unnecessary for Lineage anyways. If you were running in wine, it wouldn't help much anyways [09:43] if gaming is that much of a priority, dual boot [09:43] How to make seamsly mode in Virtualbox work with my 4 Monitors of 24 inches?? [09:43] lol [09:43] whats the use of all of em? massive pr0n ? [09:43] FedererRoger: just fullscreen it if ubuntu is already setup for your "4monitors of 24 inches" [09:43] brandonmpace: what exactly am i looking for? sorry im very new to this :P [09:44] FedererRoger: do you have your desktop expanded in all 4 screens? [09:44] Yes its all expanded [09:44] brandonmpace: in DuKeS case I believe startupmanager would help, as it allows setting the default option quite easily. [09:44] But virtualbox seamsly mode hungs [09:44] yea but he may have already finished.. [09:44] err:msi:copy_package_to_temp failed to copy package L - failed =[ [09:45] does grub need to point to ntldr for winxp to boot? or can i just have grub point to the windows partitions and xp will launch from that? cause i have a missing ntldr right now when i try booting [09:45] nope :p im not sure what i'm looking for [09:45] DuKes try this. === PolitikerALT is now known as PolitikerNEU [09:45] FedererRoger: then don´t use it [09:45] sudo apt-get install startupmanager [09:45] I need to be able to access http://192.168.1.2 on this system and have someone outside my network from the internet use vnc to come into my computer and use the intranet ip address [09:45] or look for it in synaptic [09:45] its for a web interface on a network device [09:45] I want to use IT!!!! [09:45] kk gimme a sec [09:46] pmanager' [09:46] Dukes then once you have it installed from command line you could do sudo startupmanager or from alt+f2 launch application 'gksu startupmanager' [09:47] Awesome to have anyways because once you get used to ubuntu, it comes in handy sometimes. [09:48] this is similar to my desktop http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2008/03/04/amd_780g_chipset/amd_780g___5120_pixel_desktop.jpg [09:48] I have the most annoying bash script for my computer. [09:48] dude that program is so helpful thanks! :) [09:48] FedererRoger, happy hacking you never answered my question so I guess I have to call you a troll [09:48] what question? [09:49] the ifconfig in a pastebin [09:49] Does anyone can decrypt some wine Errors that spikes when im running lineage2 ? [09:49] DuKeS: You are quite welcome, glad that I actually helped someone... [09:49] ompaul: ahhh sorry i missed... but i resolved.. was a postfix issue [09:49] Massiv0r: you could try googling them [09:49] lol cant believe it was so easy [09:49] FedererRoger, well I suggest you do that for your four monitors [09:49] DuKeS: lol yea I forgot about that [09:50] :P [09:50] DuKeS: somethings are, somethings aren't... this was one of the few things that have actually been made easier for beginners. [09:50] now i need to find a solution for the virtualbox + ubuntu bug [09:50] hi all [09:50] is the ubuntuforums server down? [09:50] oh i know [09:50] When ubuntu finally reaches where it wants to be, it aims to be plausible in every aspect of computing. [09:50] lol JaseX the reason i thought of editing the actual file first is cause I´m old school [09:50] DuKeS: welcome to the long haul. [09:50] i've been trying to figure out my video playback...for some reason it's choppy in all players :S [09:51] brandonmpace: thanks indeed they are shown as bugs [09:51] :D [09:51] brandonmpace: I do that too, but I keep some tricks up my sleeves to aid beginners. [09:51] DuKeS, do you have drivers installed for your gfx card? [09:51] when will it fix? [09:51] Massiv0r: :D happy hunting [09:51] DuKeS, sometimes it's a hardware problem. Is your PSU stable? [09:51] lol thanx...it'll take me a bit of time to get used to ubuntu enough to ditch windows for the most part [09:51] hello every one [09:51] hey guys how do i view a quota in ubuntu [09:52] and how much of a quota is been used [09:52] DuKeS: I don't blame you. but once you learn a bit more about it... I am sure you'll be happy to be free of the atrocity known as MSBob ;) [09:52] brandonmpace: thanks but i don't see any solution =/ [09:52] DuKeS: lol I´ve been doing this for four years and Linux has come a long way. Believe me, a loooong way [09:52] Massiv0r: if you have windows why not use that. [09:52] JaseX: hehe yeah [09:53] DuKeS: what brandonmpace says is correct, I've been using it for just about the same.... [09:53] Massiv0r: k well did you see anything about anyone workin on the issue? [09:53] if you pay for Ubuntu you can always reclaim support [09:53] oh i know...before i used to be one of the people who heard linux and would instantly associate it with either hackers or geeks:P [09:53] DuKeS: well... it technically is hacking... taking something, ripping it apart, and making it better :D [09:53] brandnmpace: nope only that ppl after 7.10 say that it isn't working properly (cause of wine) [09:54] u know what i mean though :) [09:54] DuKeS: hacking really has a bad name due to the media... [09:54] i dont feel like wasting 10 gb + 6-7 for l2 just for having Windows,that's why i use Ubuntu [09:54] could i have a small favour as i have installed linux in windows and for some time it was working well now i m having a prob with the pannels the both pannels are gone some hwere how can i restore them thnk you [09:54] Massiv0r: well maybe you should find somewhere to put your say in that it needs to be fixed :) [09:55] brandonmpace: none would confirm it cause very few people play lineage and use Linux,there are enough bug reports but none mod cares [09:55] This channel makes me feel almost heroic, and makes me want to chainsmoke whilst shivering. [09:55] lol I would [09:55] that´s no fun :( [09:55] vampur, is english your native language? [09:56] not really [09:56] so no one here knows how to do what i need? [09:56] I am having a hard time understanding you, what do you speak? [09:56] hey regarding my choppy video playback...i've installed the nvidia drivers with envy and it seems to work fine because i can choose all my monitor's resolutions and effects work fine...video on the other hand (.avi) seems to have this low resolution and a weird line in the middle of the screen [09:56] !resetpanels [09:56] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [09:56] DrDigital: what is your problem? [09:56] Jasex: he probably means he installed Wubi smth (Windows installer for ubuntu) [09:56] hi! Is it possible to burn a DVD with some files, and a later time add some more to it? how do I do that? Thank you! [09:57] i have 2 networks on 1 computer, i want to allow someone to vnc from the internet into one [09:57] fdr, you would want to leave the session open rather than closing it. [09:57] and use the other to access a web interface [09:57] !google tmsnc [09:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about google tmsnc [09:57] almost like a vpn, but all graphical [09:57] jasex what i am asking is that some how i messed up with the panels and now i am not able to restore them so is there any way out so i can get the panels back [09:58] they are using vnc to teach me how to do it myself [09:58] !vnc | DrDigital [09:58] DrDigital: 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 [09:58] !resetpanels | vampur [09:58] vampur: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [09:58] my firefox crashes alot when there are sites opened that are using flash. :( [09:58] vnc isnty the issue [09:58] but dear i am not geting the terminal window too [09:58] JaseX, thanks, I guessed it was something like that... so I guess my questions now are: 1) can I leave the session open using the burner that is integrated with nautilus? 2) how do I "import" the old session to add files to it? thx [09:58] how much space should I set aside for ubuntu as a minimum? [09:58] i have internet, they can connect into my system [09:58] ah. [09:58] ahh [09:58] hmm [09:58] fdr I am unsure as I use Brasero. [09:58] i cant access http://192.168.1.2 [09:58] Vampu: you should add applications applet [09:59] because its using the wrong NIC [09:59] vampur try hitting alt+ctrl+f2 [09:59] please pardon me massivor [09:59] that should get you a terminal [09:59] JaseX, in other words, are you confirming me that with Brasero it's possible? [09:59] hey can anyone help with the video display problem? i'd highly appreciate it since it's one of the main reasons i go back to windows, to watch movies :S [09:59] to return it's ctrl+alt+F7 [09:59] fdr, it should be... let me check. [10:00] JaseX, yup, it should, i just checked the package description :) [10:00] what do people use as a substitute for tortoise-svn on ubuntu? [10:00] guys in requota does it tell me the quota used and the max quota? === danish is now known as papiiiiiiiiii [10:00] yes [10:00] it does [10:00] I just checked [10:00] Whats the program to control desktop effects/compiz? [10:00] fdr it has an option to leave the disk open [10:00] JaseX, thanks for your helping, i'm going to install it. Thanks! [10:00] JeePee: that would be ccsm [10:01] fdr quite welcome, I hope it works as expected. [10:01] has the alsa-project moved? === jimbobot__ is now known as RELEASE [10:01] DuKeS: what is your video chipset? === johnson is now known as Guest798 [10:01] hi [10:01] hello zm1fg [10:02] brandonmpace: it's a nforce 2 chipset motherboard with integrated graphics...geforce 4M 64mb [10:02] AHAH brandonmpace that's what I have. [10:02] JeePee: do sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm [10:02] it's a fairly old computer im on but i thought it'd run ubuntu without a problem [10:02] ! reset panel [10:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about reset panel [10:02] DuKeS: my desktop has that same setup. [10:02] hi [10:02] Thanks [10:02] good morning [10:02] DuKeS: amount of memory? [10:02] i have a problem [10:02] DuKeS: i mean computer wise.

I can see that dependences for python2.5-dev package can't be meet in the repository. More people having problems that I have? [10:03] and i need to duplicate it on a internal hard disk [10:03] how i have to do [10:03] cheekyirc -- 87224 250M 250M 2545 0 0 - can anyone translate to me what each block is [10:03] on repquota [10:03] brandonmpace: well i already got the drivers for it using envy [10:03] DuKeS: You will need nvidia-legacy as brandonmpace has mentioned. [10:03] yeah i got that JaseZX [10:03] brandonmpace: does nvidia-legacy include nvidia-xconfig? [10:03] oops JaseX* [10:04] i had installed mistakenly system ubuntu on a removable hard disk [10:04] uriol: is the system installd there? like... settings drivers and stuff? [10:04] how can i duplicate system for example on d: disk === RELEASE is now known as jimbobot [10:04] yes [10:04] alright i guess im gonna go to bed and ask again in the morning since no one seems to know the solution [10:04] Can anyone tell me how I force ntp to synchronize?

[10:06] thnk you dear [10:06] did anything come up? [10:06] basically to shrink all the non-focused window to about 1/6 the screen size? [10:06] Or did it say "command not found" DuKeS [10:06] vampur: welcome. [10:06] ciao [10:06] !list [10:06] Hi!

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [10:09] u mean without the effects? [10:09] No just in general DuKeS [10:09] mistform: go to add/remove and look up bluetooth, then install bluetooth file sharing [10:09] ok [10:10] mistform: after you do that to run it it is in the accessories menu [10:10] DuKeS: you should be fine now... but I may be mistaken. [10:11] How does it work DuKeS ? [10:11] JaseX: seems to be working fine...but it does that sometimes and when theres a fast moving scene or something usually gets choppy [10:12] trying to look for some action sequence or something lol [10:12] In my experience I try to disable compiz while watching a movie on my desktop or it does tend to get a bit choppy. [10:12] hey people :) i have a problem with my apache2 [10:12] Does anyone here know how to check to make sure that ntp is actually working correctly? I tried ntpq, but i cant verify that it is actually connecting and syncing?? [10:12] how to add to ur user a superuser privilegies? [10:12] As I said I have the same cardset on my desktop DuKeS so I know where you're coming from with the choppiness. [10:13] JaseX: i'll try it like that [10:13] C0R3-X: there is a reason there is sudo lol [10:13] Hi.. I would like to install a AVM Fritzcard PCI in my hardy system. I have already installed the restricted modules. I am receiving the following error message: http://rafb.net/p/m0EA1w96.html [10:13] it seems to be working though [10:13] :D [10:13] but i didnt chance anything :| weird [10:13] lol [10:13] can someone help me with apache? [10:13] change* [10:13] What processor do you have. [10:13] You did change somethign if it's working. [10:13] hello. please where are the GTK headers in Ubuntu? [10:13] oh [10:13] C0R3-X: if you need to browse, delete, or copy files as root, just use sudo nautilus [10:13] You changed your xorg.conf to work with your hardware :D [10:14] with that command. [10:14] JaseXL it's a fairly old computer...i got an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ [10:14] I find I -have- to run nvidia-xconfig. [10:14] DuKeS: 64bit do you know? [10:14] OHHHH that command u gave me i forgot how it goes:P it made a backup of my xorg.conf file? [10:14] ariel_, so you been around long enough ask the full question [10:15] I have the same processor as well... 64 bit, running 64bit ubuntu on it. [10:15] and no its not 64bit [10:15] Yes it made a backup. [10:15] And re-wrote it. [10:15] dear jasex that panel work not done [10:15] ah [10:15] are you sure DuKeS ? [10:15] it says command not found [10:15] Well, im getting this error, while realoading source list [10:15] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [10:15] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [10:15] hmm then I am not sure vampur... what is your native language [10:15] hindi [10:16] indian [10:16] DuKeS: run this in terminal...

[10:16] DuKeS: so did mine, I was surprised to find out it was 64bit... [10:16] JaseX: I´m not sure i´ll go look [10:16] oh lol then im not sure now:P [10:16] http://www.flickr.com/photos/18082435@N00/2873701062/ [10:16] how awesome is this?? [10:17] ok. i installed apache2 and php5 and the lib, just like it is written in ubuntu official LAMP server installation. but after i created a test.php with phpinfo(); inside, the browser tries to d/l the file instead of showing it. [10:17] DuKeS: will you run something for me. [10:17] yeh [10:17] go to a terminal and enter this command 'sudo lshw -html >> ~/Desktop/cpuinfo.html' [10:17] vampur: which country is the country of your native language? [10:17] They said Indian/Hindi brandonmpace [10:18] india and my language is hindi [10:18] !india [10:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about india [10:18] Hmm [10:18] vampur: #ubuntu-in [10:18] JaseX that didnt seem to do anything [10:18] DuKeS: check your desktop [10:18] :D [10:18] should be an html file there now. [10:18] ah lol [10:18] doh:P [10:18] Open it and look for a section that says id: cpu [10:18] JaseX: lol took care of vamp [10:19] thanks for all the help [10:19] and look in the width area [10:19] brandonmpace: thanks :D [10:19] brandonmpace: hey man;i didit [10:19] Cheeky: ? [10:19] JaseX: width 32bits [10:19] someone saw my problem? [10:19] told ya:p [10:19] Hmm [10:19] that means nothing... as my computer said thirty two bits with 32bit ubuntu installed [10:20] You could try the 64bit live cd, and then that will confirm [10:20] ariel_: what´s your problem? [10:20] look at capabilities DuKeS [10:20] brandonmpace: i installed it on the HDD of my old .. machine by connecting it tomy current machine and installed server on it and then swappedit back (the HDD with server) on the p2 266 mhz machine [10:20] if my cpu is not 64bit it wont run the live cd then? [10:20] does it say x86-64 somewhere in capabilities. [10:20] Cheeky: :) [10:20] Exactly DuKeS [10:20] ariel_: what do you need? I can help [10:21] in capabilities does it list x86-64 DuKeS ? [10:21] nope [10:21] hmm [10:21] brandonmpace: but .. i have a problem how do i ssh into my machine .. i cant find it .. on my network on this machine..do i need to log in for it to show? [10:21] Will you message me with the capabilities line...

Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [10:40] Cheeky: aptitude install openssh-server [10:40] ? [10:41] Hi all. I've followed the instructions (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent) to create a persistent Live USB installation, however when I come to boot from the USB HDD I get an error 17 form grub. I get the same result when I install directly to the external drive and when I copy the ISO to the external drive. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? [10:41] cheeky one moment [10:41] brandonmpace: yeah thank you i already read it and it mentions that hwen your connection is refused you need to set your firwall or router os something [10:41] tenX: i already did [10:41] JaseX: ok [10:41] Cheeky: does your networking setup allow incoming connections? [10:41] try this from the computer you want to ssh to... [10:41] sudo ufw allow proto tcp from 192.168.0.0/16 to any port 22 [10:41] that's a terminal command of course Cheeky [10:42] Guest27897: this means that grub can not find the root partition containing the boot files. (menu.lst) [10:42] is that a 64bit ? [10:42] JaseX: whao [10:42] It's not 64 bit [10:42] JaseX: what do you think about that ubuntu ufw directive? [10:42] How do I (re)create the menu.list file? [10:42] how to use $PATH function with this code, its for locating and installing .msi files- "msiexec /i fileinstaller.msi" [10:42] JaseX: could i pm if you dont mind ; cozi onlt have one keyboard .. to use on both machines as of now.. [10:42] tenX: It enabled me to SSH to any computer in my house from any laptop conencted to my network. [10:43] Hey! Line in /dev/??? /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2? What nodev and nosuid means. Or what that line do? [10:43] yes Cheeky [10:43] Guest27897: this error usually requires a reinstall.... does it give you the option of going to console? [10:43] JaseX: ufw?? how can it enable you [10:43] brandonmpace: No [10:43] JaseX: afaik its disabled by default anyway [10:43] easily, by setting the iptables tenX to allow local connections [10:43] brandonmpace: All I get is a frozen boot screen [10:43] Guest27897: I´m afraid this requires a reinstall.. [10:43] :( [10:44] brandonmpace: I have reinstalled twice [10:44] how to install backend for empathy [10:44] brandonmpace: Ubuntu doesn't seem to set up grub correctly when installing to the external drive [10:44] JaseX: as a console and scripting type of guy - is there a graphic interface to ufw? [10:44] so i've tried the sound prefs, upgrading the alsa drivers, and the logitech AK5370 usb mic still wont work. Any suggestions? [10:44] brandonmpace: (Yes I did select the option to install grub to the external drive) [10:44] Guest27897: have you booted anything off of that flash drive before? [10:44] brandonmpace: No [10:44] brandonmpace: t's my girlfriends HDD [10:45] I am not sure, there is a simple interface somewhere tenX [10:45] t [10:45] brandonmpace: She wants to try Ubuntu properly without touching her internal HDD [10:45] Guest27897: It may be the drive, what size is it?

[10:45] np [10:45] brandonmpace: It's 80GB Hitachi 2.5@ in a caddy [10:45] JaseX: guis for iptable exist, i was just wondering if the basic setup with ufw had a background [10:46] brandonmpace: That's not got a persistent filesystem and takes a year to boot [10:46] it simplifies command line iptable configuration as its purpose if i'm not mistaken tenX === reinis_ is now known as Guest15076 [10:46] brandonmpace: I could just give her a live CD and format the HDD, but it will be slow and stops her using the CD drive [10:46] brandonmpace: (not ideal) [10:46] how to set path for fileinstaller.msi in this code: "msiexec /i fileinstaller.msi" ??? [10:46] zvacet: thanks, its just basic interest, i'd actually prefer ufw not to exist [10:47] brandonmpace: I'll try Puppy linux on the HDD === Guest15076 is now known as c0r3-eX [10:47] Guest27897: I´m sorry but I find myself unable to come up with a solution. I have never installed to a usb hard drive, only a flash drive [10:47] brandonmpace: It _should_ be exactly the same, no? === automatix is now known as ortsvorsteher [10:47] similar..

[10:49] tenX : np I just answered your question (curiosity) [10:49] brandonmpace: what's the dpkg option to configure incorrectly configured packages that got interruped during an apt-get install? [10:49] dpkg --reconfigure [10:49] do* [10:49] hmm but hey talking about booting from usb - at one point i tried setting up an usb stick linux setup with various distrous, it'd work out fine booting up three or for times but at some point it would fail. seemed like ext2/ext3 (tried both) wouldnt cooperate with that kind of medium [10:49] brandonmpace: Thanks for the info, I will look into puppy [10:50] JaseX : sudo dpkg --configure -a [10:50] that's it... [10:50] thanks [10:50] tenX: yea but he got the grub error [10:50] zvacet: i always appreciate any effort to take myself or other people farther, so thank you [10:50] JaseX: you´re welcome [10:50] brandonmpace: its not about his problem === xxxxxx is now known as Guest12155 [10:50] tenX: oh ok lol [10:50] can i use an alternate installer iso to upgrade my hardy to intrepid alpha 6?

[10:51] yao_ziyuan: maybe if you mount it [10:51] brandonmpace: and as i said, everything worked out fine until approx 3rd time usage [10:52] !iso | yao_ziyuan [10:52] yao_ziyuan: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [10:52] brandonmpace: will the setup program require a reboot? [10:52] yao_ziyuan : yes I remember I saw it on forums so search if you have time [10:52] I think so yao_ziyuan [10:52] brandonmpace: actually i worked around that using fat32 wrapping an iso system working like common cd booting distros like knoppix do, that did the job [10:52] after the reboot, [10:52] well... [10:52] let me try [10:53] tenX: yea I have done that with puppy [10:53] brandonmpace: but ext2/ext3 wouldnt cooperate [10:53] Sorry, while helping here, I am also working on Debian Lenny on an imac brandonmpace ;) === Laurens is now known as Laurens`oFF [10:53] JaseX: ah sweet [10:54] you ever get discouraged when trying to research a problem and EVERY link that looks hopeful either doesn't exist or has been removed?

[11:08] DuKeS: if you like the simplicity and small size of utorrent id go with deluge or aria2.....but thats just my oppinion [11:08] JaseX: system>administration>login window> security tab [11:08] JaseX: I think [11:09] maybe a gremlin has taken up residence on your harddrive and is playing hopskotch with the platters .... reall quickly. [11:09] linduxed: yes thats exactly what i'm looking for...simple and small [11:09] lol [11:09] IndyGunFreak: http://download.linux-live-cd.org/Super_Grub_Disk/download/binaries/sgd/cdrom/ i don't get what i shall do now :S What should i download?? [11:09] and missing half the time [11:09] DuKeS: utorrent takes up like no resources even when run with wine... [11:09] freestyler_: download the current version iso, and burn it to a disk [11:10] yeah i'm still downloading wine...it's 60mb:P [11:10] IndyGunFreak: and whats the current version? :S [11:10] freestyler_: look at the version numbers [11:10] should I run ubuntu with VMWARE, or should I go the whole hog and install it - I don't want to install it really, I like using windows for it's Japanese support [11:11] IndyGunFreak: Yeah i know, but which one shall i download? :S Sorry cuz i am a newbie... [11:11] freestyler_ :supergrubdisk_0.9677.iso [11:11] nevagonnagiveuup: vmware first, then if you like it >install [11:11] zvacet: thanks [11:11] freestyler_: i don't know how much more clear i can be... download hte iso of the current version and burn it [11:11] I heard that its lame using it with windows, even if you like it [11:11] brandonmpace: ok wine installed fine do i need to set up anything or configure anything inside it? or just go to utorrent site and download the installer and double click it? [11:11] wubi that was I mean [11:11] DuKeS: the latter, just double click [11:12] nevagonnagiveuup: nothing is lame, it all depends on your purpose [11:12] nevagonnagiveuup: i've never sued Wubi, but I've heard its OK.. but i wouldn't use it in Vmware... I'd install it in some fashion [11:12] can anyonehelp me i ran "dhclient" and it gave me no broadcome interface ... can some one help me figure thisout / [11:12] DuKeS: if you really want though, in the terminal type winecfg [11:12] freestyler_ : it is super_grub_disk_0.9722.iso sorry [11:12] Sun is rising, that's my cue to hit the hay. [11:12] dear brandonmpace i tried a lot but couldn't the main prob is that somehow i lost the both top panel as well as lower panel which come by default linux and now what i am trying to get those defaults panel somehow but unable to do so . [11:12] vampur: even after a restart? [11:12] Cheeky: dhclient needs an interface to be declared? [11:13] goodnight brandonmpace, DuKeS and rest of room. [11:13] does your broadcom interface even exist? [11:13] I can't install ubuntu! I have windows on my hard drive [11:13] goodnight JaseX [11:13] taking up the whole disk [11:13] tenX: i dunno [11:13] yes dear i restart the system many times and i couldn't find that power one panel too dear [11:13] nevagonnagiveuup: ok, thats ridiculous, you can still install Ubuntu... [11:13] goodnight JaseX...thanx for all your help man :) [11:13] nevagonnagiveuup: you can resize the partition....

[11:14] and wow, 1.2K users [11:14] how to change ipv6 to ipv4 on my eth0??? [11:15] ubuntuforums seems doesnt work.. [11:15] Fuse: 1.3 lol [11:15] is there any way out to restore the default themes and settings of linux by any mean of ways [11:15] Cheeky: well as long as you dont specify addresses or instruct your devices to obtain networking details via dhcp its not gonna work [11:15] grzes: server is down [11:15] Cheeky: its the same with windows, apart from the driver issue [11:15] ok, is there a quick way to change it ? [11:15] anyway, I cam here for a Haskell channel. ciao! [11:15] what is the replacement for gtalk in ubuntu [11:15] brandonmpace: i double clicked the setup file but it's asking me where to install it to and defaults to C:\ is that location inside of linux or my real C:\ on my windows partition? [11:15] Cheeky: if you dont install network device drivers on windows, nothing aint gonna work as well [11:16] Hi folks, [11:16] Dabbu1: pidgin can do google talk [11:16] Dabbu1: like Google Talk?.. pidgin can access google talk [11:16] tenX: so how to get to accept and ip from ther dhcp ? [11:16] DuKeS: that is imaginary inside of linux partition [11:16] brandonmpace: voic chat is not possible [11:16] Ubuntu forums seem to be down again, this is becoming semi regular. [11:16] ok:) [11:17] tenX: when i type in dhcp is says .. no interface found [11:17] i'm going to ask again: is ubuntu using the intel turbo memory by default? [11:17] Is anyone familiar with an issue that causes absolutely terrible USB transfer rates, and if it's possible to fix it? [11:17] DuKeS : I think that C is your drive in wine and real C is under Z or something like that [11:17] does anyone konws how nautilus finds tags of mp3's. I have mp3 where only nautilus shows tags neither v1 nor v2 tags are findable with other taggers [11:17] DuKeS: your virtual c drive all you gotta do is go to your home folder, hit Ctrl+H then go to the folder .wine then .drive_c [11:17] is there any way out to restore the default themes and settings of linux by any mean of ways ???????? [11:17] hey guys. I already have grub 0.97 installed, i want to upgrade to grub 2, does this affect my current settings and menu.lst file ? [11:17] IndyGunFreak:i am not able to do voic chat in pidgin [11:17] tenX: can i pm you [11:18] vampur: I hate to say but your situation may require a reinstall...:( [11:18] Cheeky: assumed your network device is working with a working driver provided you should be able to obtain networking stuff via dhcp [11:18] remote ubuntu upgrades over nx, so boring [11:18] Dabbu1: i'm not aware of any Linux client for Gtalk that will support voice... [11:18] REINSTALL IS COOL [11:18] Cheeky: sure [11:18] ok got it installed:D [11:18] anyone know why and or how long ubuntuforums is down for? [11:18] hamster is being replaced....be patient [11:18] IndyGunFreak: ok [11:18] any way other to restore [11:18] DuKeS: your virtual c drive all you gotta do is go to your home folder, hit Ctrl+H then go to the folder .wine then .drive_c [11:18] harry died? [11:18] Hey guys, check this out: http://www.google.com/trends?q=ubuntu%2C+suse%2C+gentoo%2C+fedora%2C+slackware&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 [11:19] 2008 is truly the year of the Linux desktop. [11:19] yes it most definitely is [11:19] wow [11:19] Truly, 2009 will be the year of people going back to Windows [11:19] lol nope [11:19] haha, doubtful [11:19] pexxi : in nautilus you will see search tab clicl on it and type mp3 ohter way is to use tracker [11:20] anybody who has taken the move to ubuntu has likely not undertaken the move lightly [11:20] Guys, lets face it, if I was an average user, not someone with an interest in Linux === umangme is now known as Guest57825 [11:20] brandonmpace: thanx nice to know where to find the c drive :) i'll test utorrent right now [11:20] I would have well and truly gone back by now, I've had to fight with everything, and I'm still fighting [11:20] Juzzy: since Vista was released, Linux market share has doubled? [11:20] DuKeS: you´re welcome, I´m afraid I have to go to sleep now as it is 5:20 here lol [11:20] DuKeS, why do you need utorrent? [11:21] Odd, I'm not fighting. I fought with Hardy, though. [11:21] suppose if i uninstall it as i installed it in windows to try it out will it effect the windows and will i regain the space back which i parted for linux [11:21] airtonix: because he prefers it [11:21] It may have, but it's still not usable for the average punter. [11:21] DuKeS, ie transmission is basically a clone of utorrent [11:21] but by the same amount I fought with XP [11:21] Im using Hardy, maybe thats my issue [11:21] airtonix: coz its faster download speed i guess [11:21] vampur: that´s a lot of work [11:21] zvacet: thanks no I've mp3 where only nautilus shows mp3 tags. How I can get the tags? [11:21] anybody who has taken the move to ubuntu has likely not undertaken the move lightly....thats me [11:21] For instance, I've been transferring an 800mb file to USB for the last 25 minutes [11:21] wait I mean edgy [11:21] 6.04 [11:21] JuzzyD: Hardy is no issue. [11:21] 25 mins? [11:21] Cheeky, how is utorrent 'faster' than transmission since they are both using the same protocol? [11:21] i'll try both and see which one i end up keeping in linux...i want utorrent because it's what i use on windows and im familiar with it [11:21] 8 mins for me or less [11:21] Im almost 3/4 of the way there. People expect USB to just work [11:22] airtonix: it is lighter, even in wine [11:22] anyone have ejabberd setup on ubuntu? [11:22] maozhang: openfire [11:22] 25 minutes [11:22] and goodnight brandonmpace :) you've been a lot of help tonight too thanx [11:22] JuzzyD: thing is it does. [11:22] brandonmpace, lighter? as in file size....that contributes nothing to its ability to be 'faster' [11:22] 329 k/sec [11:22] you're an exception [11:22] dsmith, i cant get pyaimt working with openfire [11:22] but you get that anywhere [11:22] DuKeS: you´re welcome and thankyou [11:22] airtonix: i dunno man . coz i used deluge and it was slow as hell ..and transmissions suddenly goes idle [11:22] goodnight all [11:22] But Im not an exception with Windows XP, you see where that is going? [11:22] there's a big piece of software rolled out worldwide to millions of users with often very different hardware [11:22] !pyaimt [11:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about pyaimt [11:23] maybe not on this issue, but others are for XP [11:23] dsmith_, its a program used to allow people with jabber accounts to connect to aim [11:23] hello, how can I get rlm_eap_tls.so module to run freeradius server ? [11:23] use pidgin/kopete [11:23] and certainly this is true for Vista [11:23] It's better than my stints with Linux 5 years ago, come ahead in leaps and bounds [11:23] Cheeky, are you using upnp and have you set some port forwarding from your router to your machine? that often is the reason many experience slow downlaods [11:23] dsmith_, http://code.google.com/p/pyaimt/ [11:23] Im just saying I don't think that ma and pa users are quite ready to swap over [11:23] dsmith_, i want to create a jabber server using ejabberd, which works with pyaimt, so i can use google talk to connect to aim on my blackberry [11:23] oh [11:23] JuzzyD: anyway I'm not going to say ubuntu will take off in 09. I'm just saying Ubuntu only ever gets better, while Windows stagnates [11:23] how to change ipv6 to ipv4 on my eth0 on hardy??? [11:24] hmmmm.....never tried that before [11:24] it seems logical to conclude it will take off eventually [11:24] Agreed [11:24] JuzzyD, on the contrary...if ma and pa bought a pc in the shop with ubuntu presinstalled they wouldnt care.... [11:24] As I said, five years ago it was almost unworkable unless you were willing to put a lot of effort in, huge amounts. [11:24] Now it's just small annoyances [11:24] right now google talk is able to pull my aim contacts while this jabber server thats using pyaimt, but its unreliable because that server keeps going down [11:24] thats why i want to start my own ejabberd server [11:24] personally I dumped Windows completely this year. it's got to the point I can do that without hassle [11:24] ma??? [11:24] JuzzyD, its the power users who 'think' they know how their machine works with windows are the ones who will never switch [11:24] everything I can find on ubuntu [11:25] pa??? [11:25] how to change ipv6 to ipv4 on my eth0 on hardy??? [11:25] airtonix: no i havent .. touched the router setting ever since i installed ubuntu but wat i did was select randomized pory selection on deluge and it was slow [11:25] JuzzyD, the windows power user is one who know the steps (clicks) required to get X working but understands nothing of the process involved....windows is for diagram driven intruction manuals [11:25] So can you tell me how to fix the Pulse audio issue that forces me to restart after watching anything on youtube if I then want mp3's or avi's? [11:26] i am a newbie and some how while trying i lost my both top default panel as well as the lower panel . now when i tried this >>gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel<< i had an error of no process killed [11:26] JuzzyD: dunno - I don't get that issue [11:26] can I be an arsehole and tell you to reformat? [11:26] You don't have to convince me airtonix, As far as Im concerned I'm better off on the open source side of the fence. [11:27] Fuse, It's a known issue that FF3 + Flash = Havoc with Audio, a search for USB transfer rate also see [11:27] see's a lot of results for the Ubuntu forum, so I'm definitely not alone. [11:27] JuzzyD, dont use pulse.. [11:27] vampur: what happens when you try to run gnome-panel in a terminal windo? [11:27] JuzzyD while i agree with you with regard to linux in the home, in enterprise you need linux and windows [11:27] JuzzyD: hmm i'll check what I use [11:27] either way it's a small driver issue likely [11:27] JuzzyD, i have set my multimedia system selector to alsa...and i use aoss on progs that seem to hog the soundserver.. [11:28] when is google releasing their operating system? [11:28] hello, how can I get rlm_eap_tls.so module to run freeradius server ? [11:28] I use Alsa [11:28] hi there [11:28] nevagonnagiveuup, they have android for mobile phones/pds ... are you thinking of this? [11:28] I will swap it over to Alsa and see how I go. [11:29] let me know [11:29] panel already runing === ubuntu_ is now known as _sNapper [11:29] JuzzyD, for the record i havent removed pulse audio [11:29] but couldn't find it [11:29] vampur: um, you're having panel problems? and you've tried restarting? [11:29] When I start my PC, when GDM is loaded, my mouse turns of if I don't move it during loading. Is there any way to fix it? [11:29] JuzzyD, i merely used 'multimedia system selector' to use alsa instead. [11:29] But that is an example of why we're still not quite over the line on getting point and click users into Open Source. [11:29] does anyone know how to get ejabbred working? [11:29] JuzzyD: I disagree [11:29] I use evdev driver [11:29] yes dear fuse many times i did this too [11:30] you ever tried installing XP or Vista/ [11:30] But thats no excuse for them to ignore my beliefs and send me files in proprietary formats :P [11:30] <_tins_> hi [11:30] you install XP fresh on a computer and you're missing half the drivers [11:30] it's really not user friendly [11:30] nobody notices thought because OEMs fix it [11:30] Fuse, JuzzyD most problems you see with ubuntu now are problems windows has as well...but your not seeing them in windows since 1) most hardware is designed for windows 2) the boxes are installed & ironed out before you purchase the box.... [11:30] how long have the forums been down? [11:30] but nothing stops linux being the same [11:31] airtonix: exactly what I am saying [11:31] Hi! Im having a weird problem, Im trying to start a program that I know exist but when I try to execute it the CLI prompt says "unable to execute /usr/bin/4L-gui: No such file or directory" [11:31] airtonix, I've never bought a machine with Windows installed on it [11:31] JuzzyD, neither have i... [11:32] I hope Im not being misunderstood as unhappy with the product here. I don't want to come across like that. [11:32] vampur: um I'm an ubuntu newb, but... last time I had problems with the desktop that I couldn't fix, I uninstalled GDM and KDE and reinstalled GDM [11:32] far out, I just installed an old version of VMWAre [11:32] I'm just saying that in my experiences, I wouldn't recommend to Joe Bloggs with limited computer knowledge, to have a crack at removing his windows and installing linux. [11:32] they need a linux doorknocking appeal [11:32] haha fair enough. but I also wouldn't recommend him installing windows on a fresh PC [11:33] you see my point? [11:33] could u elaborate how to do this as em a newbie too [11:33] "excuse me, would you mind if I helped you install linux on your PC?" [11:33] Getting it released as OEM such as the Asus EEE is the best way to get market share, because as mentioned, OEM smoothes out the issues that arise from custom hardware. [11:33] hello i have Ubuntu 7.04 and the system freez suddenly i dont know but i doubt in kernel [11:33] vampur: ok, well when you log in, instead of loading gnome, load up a console session [11:33] EEEpc didn't release the source for a while [11:33] s/EEEpc/ASUS [11:33] then type the command to uninstall gnome or KDE (whatever you use) [11:33] okh [11:34] breached the GPL [11:34] then restart, and install GDM again [11:34] and then how to re-install it [11:34] hmm let me check [11:34] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [11:34] I think. somebody confirm? [11:36] i have Ubuntu 7.04 and the system freeze can i upgrade the system with the same installing asterisk on it ? [11:36] but dear that time i wont be able to have the internet [11:36] hello, Anybody has scripts for virtualbox host networking on hardy ? [11:36] sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop [11:36] sudo apt-get autoremove [11:36] should do it [11:36] for removing gnome [11:37] no Internet? [11:37] I've got my mouse off each time I start my ubuntu without moving it. Can anyone help please? [11:37] Whoa, either I need to get some sleep, or the rows are slightly crooked in Nautilus suddenly [11:37] removing gnome shouldn't remove your internet access.... [11:37] ciao JuzzyD [11:40] airtonix: hmm...turns out transmission IS easy as pie to use lol very simple interface with all the information i need at a glance...thanx :) [11:40] herrow [11:40] DuKeS, imo its a direct clone of utorrent....other than transmission i would be using rtorrent under certain circumstances [11:41] why because of graphics effects turn some confirm dialogs windows goes blank in NetBeans? [11:42] airtonix: well what i liked most was the fact that it integrated into the OS right away meaning i click a torrent link and it's my default .torrent handler + it configured the port itself and i was getting very nice DL speed [11:42] Wow, James May is an awesome presenter. [11:43] Does anyone know how long Ubuntu Forums have been down? === miranda is now known as Guest42642 [11:43] lfs-livecd: i've been in the chat for a while and people have been reporting the forums down for quiet a while [11:43] ok cool. === Dreaman is now known as motorizer [11:44] maybe it was barrapunto'd [11:45] alright room i'm out. G'night and thanks to all who helped me out. [11:45] dear fuse how to install gnome again === desti_T2 is now known as desti [11:45] by live cd [11:46] what's the best way to detect packet sniffer in your network? [11:46] why do you need a live cd? bandwidth costly? [11:46] I forget how to install by live CD from console [11:46] DuKeS, one thing i like about rtorrent that i cant get transmission to do is resume downloads on torrent files that i have moved since they began....transmission chooses to restart rather than continue from data found at the chosen storage location. rtorrent would see data already there and begin hashing it for errors... [11:47] and that system dosn't have the internet dear [11:47] DuKeS, but rTorrent is ncurses and transmission is gtk...so two different target demographics [11:47] is there any way out to install the gnome from live cd or offline [11:47] yes, but I forget how. Try a google search [11:48] I believe it involves making your live cd part of the apt-get respository sources [11:48] which isn't too difficult [11:49] Hi here is a tough one for everyone even though its only 6am. I have about 6,000 files all in uppercase. I need to convert them to lowercase for example the file JIM.ZIP needs to be renamed to jim.zip but as I have said I have 6,000 of these files. Can anyone tell me a simple automated way to do this task? [11:49] whileimhere, using catfish [11:49] shell scrip [11:49] whileimhere: python [11:49] script* [11:49] Ahh you mean programming [11:49] not really [11:49] it's like 2 lines [11:49] I was hoping there is a simple way. [11:50] whileimhere, using catfish [11:50] whileimhere, sudo apt-get install catfish [11:50] got catfish [11:50] whileimhere, or rather...purr sorry [11:50] whileimhere, sudo apt-get install purr [11:51] i'd just use a list comprehension which maps the lower case function to every file-name. but yeah, you need to know a tad of Python. it's worth learning for this sort of stuff. [11:51] whileimhere, correction : sudo apt-get install purrr [11:51] I've just installed Ubuntu on an external hard drive (again) and it manages to boot into grub and give a (correct) listing of all bootable partitions on the system, however I cannot boot the new install. I get an unable to mount file system error [11:51] anyone tried to run winbox on ubuntu??? [11:51] and why it freezes.. [11:51] airtonix couldnt find purr [11:51] I've tried setting up grub, however it doesn't accept my root partition [11:51] dear didn't fdind anyway to install gnome from live cd [11:52] of ubutnu [11:52] whileimhere, because i left out the third 'r'... purrr [11:52] ahhh [11:52] okay have it [11:53] vampur, kubuntu or ubuntu livecd? [11:53] !gnome [11:53] gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. [11:53] ubuntu live cd [11:53] !insall gnome [11:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about insall gnome [11:53] vampur: I think it is apt-cdrom [11:53] whileimhere, bash script here that does it too : http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/scripts/up2low [11:53] and you want gnome only, on another distro, or ubuntu + gnome? :P [11:54] whileimhere, up2low : script to convert upercase filename to lowercase in current working dir [11:54] what i need is default linux seeting as i lost my gnome now [11:54] without re-installing linux [11:54] airtonix is it a recursive script? [11:54] http://mirror.atrpms.net/ccrma/man/man8/apt-cdrom.8.html [11:54] and what about getting the meta packets from repository vampur ? [11:54] i think its desktop-gnome, etc [11:55] SiDi: it is 'ubuntu-desktop' [11:55] whileimhere, no [11:55] can I get away with installing ubuntu on VMWARE with only 8 GB of space? [11:55] whileimhere: no, you'll have to embed it in a 'find' [11:55] when are ubuntuforums.org going back up? [11:55] vampur: have you lost gnome or just enabled enlightenment etc? [11:55] but I believe he doesn't want to use bandwidth on apt-get [11:55] whileimhere, you could use the find command and pipe it to a sed action maybe [11:56] nevagonnagiveuup, i guess its doable but you wont have much space left :D [11:56] whileimhere, $ echo "TesT" | sed 'y/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/' [11:56] nevagonnagiveuup: I'd say so. 2 gig for ubuntu, 2 gig for storage, 2 gig for page file... it'd work surely? [11:56] dear i lost my gnome and is there any way to re-install it [11:57] nevagonnagiveup 8GB is fine, i do it all the time [11:57] vampur: did you enable enlightenment? [11:57] whileimhere, example of how to use sed to convert lower case to uppercase....for the reverse just swap the upper case letter with the lowercase letters in the sed portion : $echo "TesT" | sed 'y/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/' [11:57] Is there any good guide for the security aspects of setting up a ubuntu webserver, I got a vps with only a root user, logging in via ssh. Would like that the guide explains how to set up a non-root user, get that user to be able to sudo, changing ssh-port, and all that stuff [11:57] how to do this dear asho [11:57] I need a file called libstdc++.so.5, but I cannot find it in the standard libstdc++ packages from the repository... does anyone know of a package this comes in? [11:57] neeto, try using getlib on the file. [11:58] I have seen this kind of guide before, but my google-vodoo is not so strong === chaky_ is now known as chaky [11:58] !getlib | neeto [11:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about getlib [11:58] airtonix that was cool [11:58] I'm with you on that bot [11:58] when i am running in terminal as gnome-panel it says gnome is not installed now what can i do now to regain it === Lyk4n8rwp0S is now known as kalakouentin [11:59] vampur: what you could try is logging in to your system again and click on ¨options¨ (in the login page) and make sure gnome is selected [11:59] airtonix: how do I use getlib? [11:59] please pardon me [11:59] dear asho79 [12:00] vampur: ahh, ok, so you don´t have it [12:00] vampur i found a link from ubuntu forums where they speak about that but it's down ;P [12:00] neeto, install it with : sudo apt-get install getlibs [12:00] ah plural [12:00] why are the ubuntu forums offline ?? [12:00] makes all the difference [12:00] I think they're moving the servers Tumie [12:00] Not sure though. French ones were down tonight too [12:00] oke, thanks SiDi :) [12:00] neeto, then use it against your file in question.... : locate libstdc++.so.5 [12:01] SiDi: use google cache [12:01] Can linux really beat a 90% market share in windows? [12:01] airtonix: I don't have the file, I need to get the file. [12:01] are here Urban Terror players ?? [12:01] neeto, once you have the path to libstdc++.so.5 ...its getlib /path/to/your/file [12:01] nevagonnagiveuup: can FireFox beat a 95% market share in IE? [12:01] vampur: and you don´t want to use the net? [12:01] probably not [12:01] neeto, what are you trying to run that requires that lib? [12:01] I guess that explains why it is at about 30% [12:01] airtonix: N64 emulator [12:01] neeto, for example if it was vlc....you would do : getlib /usr/bin/vlc [12:01] bascially net is not avliable on that system [12:02] I am looking for a solution to sync all my config files in my user's home folder between several machines, any recommendations? [12:02] airtonix: what repo are you getting getlibs from, I am not seeing anything from my repos [12:02] actually Firefox is at 50% market share over here in Aus [12:02] vampur http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:cPukBa2JWMEJ:ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3Ft%3D178720+reinstall+gnome&hl=fr&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=fr [12:02] vampur:hmmm [12:02] fuse: Australia? [12:02] Why does GParted keep on mounting partitions despite the fact I keep on umounting them? [12:03] nevagonnagiveuup, in little time firefox took about 25-30% of market share to IE. now people hear about it and know something else exists. It's all about knowing you can chose [12:03] neeto, apt-cache show getlibs [12:03] asho: Australia. [12:03] does anyone have experience with getting microphone input to work on Intel 82801H HD sound card in Hardy?

Actualy FF market share is like 50% there as well [12:04] with mac and ff as well [12:04] neeto, sorry i must have obtained it from the forums which are currently down [12:05] * Fuse is waiting for OS X to hit 10% [12:05] neeto, but here is its 'pre deb' incarnation : http://www.boundlesssupremacy.com/Cappy/getlibs/getlibs [12:05] Hello, I can play midis in both rhytmbox and totem, but when I try to do it again a second time it says it doesn't find the needed codec. I can only play a .midi again if i restart the program. Anyone had similar problems?

(so i can run java scripts from terminal line) ? [12:06] asho: give it 10 years. it might seem small now but there's a market for it [12:07] SiDi: well, thanks, i understand like a dozen french words at most, but yes, i'll have a look [12:07] let word of mouth and exponential growth take over [12:07] rblst i can translate it in PMs if you want [12:07] just pm me ;) [12:07] hi, how can i make pulseaudio work with openal and openarena? [12:07] x2o: use Alsa? :P [12:07] I reckon just the fact that linux is virus tollerant [12:07] neeto, debs here : http://www.boundlesssupremacy.com/Cappy/getlibs/ [12:07] and open source [12:07] ... [12:07] very flexible to modify === XAR is now known as Guest50814 [12:07] and learn [12:07] Hi. I got problems with my Ubuntu 8.04. [12:08] Hey airtonix would you look at this script and tell me what you think? http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/convert-filenames-lowercase [12:08] well yeah. the reason I ended up switching fully to my ubuntu boot was that Windows caught a stupid effing spyware virus through Firefox [12:08] if Firefox can't even stop it, then there's no hope [12:08] Adam434, gjc [12:08] airtonix: unfortunately getlibs says that all dependencies for the application are met, which, first of all is false, and still leaves me the trouble of getting libstdc++.so.5 [12:08] firefox is mainstream now, when it was new it was safe [12:08] asho: it's still 100 times safer than IE [12:08] gcj even [12:09] neeto, have you tried searching packages.ubuntu.com for the file? [12:09] ;-) [12:09] I mean that was the first time in 4 years I'd caught spyware through FF [12:09] airtonix: not yet, hold on [12:09] neeto, its a shame the forums are down as i know there are some good threads there about this file [12:09] any spyware for linux that you know of? [12:10] or was that with linux? [12:10] I doubt 50% of people run FF in Australia [12:10] HappyHater: i tryed to type "sudo apt-get install gjc" and i got an error : Couldn't find package gjc [12:10] asho79: none available [12:10] I do [12:10] but hell, I doubt 50% [12:10] whileimhere, seems to be a smaller version of the file i linked you before...thats script isnt recursive either. [12:10] actually I run Google Chrome these days' === Guest50814 is now known as XtremAl_Rave [12:10] oh that is why its simple then ahh === XtremAl_Rave is now known as XtremAl_Raven [12:10] much faster than FF [12:10] asho: nope [12:10] my brother goes to one of the biggest schools in town and they are all mac and ff [12:11] nevagonnagiveuup: yeah I'm waiting for a linux fork of Chrome [12:11] Chrome is awesome [12:11] I love how it starts really quickly [12:11] I don't love it [12:11] I just love the sandbox idea [12:11] its incompatibility with adobe pdf though [12:11] and the JS speed boost isn't bad [12:11] thanks airtonix [12:11] nevagonnagiveuup, whats the point of pdf? [12:12] I use it [12:12] neva: I never use the browser to view PDFs. [12:12] nevagonnagiveuup, i personally dont see the point of pdf [12:12] i'm sure Chrome will get a PDF plugin soon though [12:12] i don´t mind pdf [12:12] i have a lot [12:12] Hi [12:12] pdf is well integrated with firefox.. prevents from loading a window to see your PDF [12:12] nevagonnagiveuup, html files do the job well enough [12:12] opens in a tab [12:12] Adam434, sudo apt-get install gcj-4.2 [12:12] I've got problems with wifi since I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04. I know that ones who installed 8.04 from scratch have no problems. I wonder if there is a way to set up Ubuntu over the existing copy so I could solve the problems but keep all the settings of my programs? [12:12] PDFs are nice because they're immutable in a way [12:12] I want to use gprs using my mobile phone via bluetooth...anybody help me plz [12:13] they tend to hand out slides as PDF files at my Uni [12:13] not as HTML [12:13] #sudo apt-cdrom add when i did this from live cd i am also then unable to install the gnome [12:13] is ther any easier way to install the gnome from the live cd without re-installing the linux [12:13] dude just give up and reinstall from the live CD [12:13] aha [12:13] How to get backspace to work over ssh (sshing from a mac) :] [12:13] vampur, next time you set up your system, put the root and your home on seperate partitions... [12:14] I've been in a similar situation vampur and in the end it was easier to reinstall from the live CD [12:14] (and yeah, put home on an external disk or different partition) [12:14] Raven:do you have the driver installed? [12:14] *do [12:14] Fuse: i wan to use gprs using using my mobile phone... how can it possible [12:15] I have lots of drivers installed since I tried to solve the problem. [12:15] Raven: completely up-to date? [12:15] Fuse: is it possible to use gprs on ubuntu via bluetooth connection? [12:16] uh... probably? [12:16] Also I began to have problems with keyboard layouts and not it appears that I can't use Skype (it doesn't see my sound card) [12:16] sorry, I don't know [12:16] ok [12:16] is there anyone who can help me plz [12:16] Raven: maybe you had some spiderwebs from 7.04 [12:16] Sure it is possible. I do this all the time. [12:16] aurehman: google it? [12:17] I use scripts but sure that you can use Gnome PPP for this. [12:17] here you go aurehman: http://209.85.175.104/search?q=cache:ALXPsk8trmoJ:ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3Ft%3D111455+use+gprs+on+ubuntu+via+bluetooth+connection&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=au&client=firefox-a [12:17] XtremAl_Raven: how it is possible [12:18] always remember the power of Google ;) [12:18] hi ist there a way to change windowfocus with a game like openarena? to change volume or something and then go back to openarena and quake? [12:18] googleFu...like kungfu but not. [12:18] What has happened to Ubuntu Forums???how long are they down?? [12:18] like windows with the taskmanager and strg+alt+entf [12:18] kungoogle-fu. Searching the internet with bare hands :) [12:19] My gnome hangs after login. I see the beige background, and can move the mouse, but nothing comes up. Sometimes, my panel comes too, but then it stops again. [12:19] Fuse: i searched it on google but every link told me to download packages... and i m unable to download on ubuntu [12:19] Just google "linux gprs" or something like that. I set it up long ago. Now I just use two commands: "pon gprs" and "poff", - to enable and disable gprs. But, as I said, I'm sure you can use Gnome PPP if you try. [12:19] that's a problem. [12:19] dual: do you have much ram? [12:19] I think it began after installing Nvidia drivers with 32-bit libaries [12:19] asho79 8Gb [12:19] hehe, shouldn´t be the prob [12:19] aurehman, there is a page on wiki.ubuntu.com or help.ubuntu.com that list mobile phones that will work with networkmanager....but i cant find it right now [12:19] So its 64bit ubuntu [12:20] hydraIRC on an ubuntu channel? haha [12:20] so still not found how to getback that gnome back [12:20] HappyHater: thansk [12:20] HappyHater: thanks [12:20] hallo [12:20] no prob [12:20] airtonix: thanx i'll again search it on google [12:20] aurehman, (this won't help you but starting with ubuntu 8.10, internet via mobile phones is much better supported) [12:20] I had to log into KDE to even get to the GUI [12:21] vampur: try and find somebody in your local area who knows linux to help you if it's really so important you can't just reformat [12:21] aurehman, you might want to use anothe keyword here : utms device [12:21] hello, how can I get rlm_eap_tls.so module to run freeradius server ? [12:21] hi, i have problems with my wlan, i find it but cant connect, the wired lan works! [12:22] sorry for interrupting you. but is there anyone who have tried installing Ubuntu MID on normal notebook? [12:22] MID? [12:22] yes [12:22] help [12:22] like EEE PC [12:22] I believe EEE comes with instructions for installing ubuntu [12:22] I think it happened right after I opened nautilus, and after installing the Nvidia driver with 32bit libraries on 64bit ubuntu [12:22] if not plenty of people have done it - check google [12:22] Fuse, fyi : http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile [12:23] cheers [12:23] anyone ever setup ejabberd before? [12:23] Hey everyone. [12:23] "sudo aptitude -y install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient15-dev" give me "Errors were encountered while processing: mysql-server-5.0 mysql-server" How come? [12:23] hem .. [12:23] maozhang, yes [12:24] Moofius, pastebin the entire output of that command [12:24] I'm just think if the ubuntu Mid Edition can easily run on every notebook [12:24] how do I change my refresh rate? [12:24] Fuse, blink faster :) [12:24] lol [12:24] :) [12:24] or hum [12:24] I think that might actually INCREASE the risk of seisure... [12:24] Fuse, heheheh :) [12:25] low refresh rates cause headaches [12:25] and ubuntu defaults to 60 [12:25] http://ubuntuforums.org/ is not opening ...any clue [12:25] XtremAl_Raven: i found this on google.. will it help me? http://www.howtoforge.com/connecting-gprs-from-ubuntu-gutsy [12:25] dabbu: use google cache where possible [12:25] Fuse, only on tft screens where refreshrate is irrelevant for headaches [12:25] seveas, im having troubles setting it up. It's installed and running, but how do i know what ports its listening on? [12:25] tft? [12:25] Fuse, flatscreen [12:25] Fuse, using my nvidia 8800gt i use the nvidia-xsettings gui to change the fresehrate...although i cant always choose alues above 60hz for all resolution settings [12:25] no, it's 60 on my CRT? [12:26] Seveas: http://pastie.org/276639 is the output [12:26] ok fuse and all, thank for the info [12:26] gl [12:26] maozhang, 5222 for clients, 5223 on clients with old protocols and 5269 for server-to-server [12:26] what exactly is a server-to-server connection? [12:26] it's 60hz for me and no other options exist [12:26] maozhang, and some internal ports, look at sudo netstat -ltnp, the process is 'beam' [12:26] i understand clients to server, where i download a client and connect to a server, but i dont understand what server-to-server is, why would a server connect to another server? [12:26] maozhang, s2s is for communicating with people on other servers [12:26] I remember in edgy I pretended I was another monitor, but can't see how to do that in Hardy === berry_ is now known as berry_nl [12:27] maozhang, server-to-server is the strength of jabber which absolutely none has made good use of... [12:27] btw, what happen to http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ ? [12:27] die2: moving, apparently [12:27] maozhang, so you@yourjabberserver.com can talk to someone@gmail.com for instance [12:27] ach .. [12:27] oh nice [12:27] it is permanent? [12:27] Fuse: you pretended to be a monitor?? [12:27] DDos attack? [12:27] tenX: damn straight [12:27] it was liberating [12:27] Moofius, looks like apparmor on your machine is broken [12:27] maozhang, ie google make use of jabber...jabber.org.au uses jabber but none of them use the s2s feature to provide disaster redundancy features [12:28] Seveas: How to fix it then :P [12:28] Moofius, are you running a custom kernel? [12:28] can i use empathy for voic chat [12:28] No idea [12:28] seveas, thats actually what i want to do... right now i have google talk on my blackberry which talks to people on the aim network. I think gtalk communicates with a jabber server, which uses PyAIMt [12:28] Fuse: are you good on that? [12:28] seveas, but the jabber server that my googletalk communicates with goes down quite a lot, so i want to start my own [12:28] maozhang, server-to-server is jabber to jabber server comms only [12:28] maozhang, no it doesn't :) google talk *is* jabber [12:29] ah [12:29] I think I'll pass. I'm not The Todd. [12:29] * nevagonnagiveuup <3's ubuntu [12:29] maozhang, and for s2s to work the other server needs to be accepting s2s input....which i dont think googletalk does [12:29] Moofius, pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a && uname -a [12:29] Hey there, im trying to setup a home server, but im using a cross over cable as the connection between my windows xp machine and my ubuntu server machine, is this possible to do with samba? [12:29] so i guess i used another program to add an AIM transport to my google talk list, which gave me access to all my buddies on my AIM list [12:29] airtonix, google does :) [12:30] seveas, because i know you cant add aim users directly to googletalk [12:30] Seveas, so my roster created at jabber.org.au propgates to my gmail account? [12:30] Seveas: "No LSB modules are available.Distributor ID: UbuntuDescription:Ubuntu 8.04.1Release:8.04Codename:hardyLinux GleSYS-vps 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.028stab053.4PAE #1 SMP Fri Jan 18 13:10:53 MSK 2008 i686 GNU/Linux" [12:30] airtonix, no. roster is stored on jabber.org.au [12:30] Moofius, yes, that's a very nonstandard kernel. [12:31] Seveas, aye ok i got it wrong...but really why cant i just log into jabber.org.au and talk to the people on my gmail roster? [12:31] Moofius, looks like you're running a redhat kernel on ubuntu, wtf?! :) [12:31] Seveas, without having to login to gmail [12:31] hi all. i have problem with Transmission in 8.04. It cannot connect to any peers. However, it can connect to peers in 8.10Alpha [12:31] airtonix, roster is linked to account, s2s is so foo@jabber.com can talk to foo@gmail.com [12:31] log in [12:31] verynewveryconfu: wait half a month for 8.10 stable? ;) [12:31] foo@jabber.com talks to jabber.com, jabber.com talks to gmail.com and gmail.com talks to foo@gmail.com [12:32] c2s - s2s - c2s [12:32] Seveas, yeah but if i log in at foo@jabber with pidgn and dont have foo@gmail on my buddy list...how do i talk to foo@gmail? [12:32] airtonix, add it to your roster on foo@jabber :) [12:32] anyone? [12:32] Fuse, in the meantime if i want to use bittorrent without setting port forwarding. how to do that? [12:33] how do I get sound working in VMWARE for ubuntu? [12:33] there's another bit torrent client or two. might be worth trying [12:33] Seveas, must have changed since last time i tried it becuase i couldnt get those results [12:33] smokewon, samba doesn't care which network connection you have, as long as you have a working one :) [12:33] seveas, so the question now is im not quite sure how to setup PyAIMt to work with googletalk. The instructions are here: http://www.ejabberd.im/pyaimt , but im not sure how to perform some of the steps [12:33] hi everyone [12:33] ah ok thats good then [12:33] airtonix, in the beginning google talk had no s2s, but that was years ago [12:33] Seveas, must be why....back in dapper days. [12:33] seveas, i meant to setup PyAIMt with ejabberd [12:34] maozhang, I must say neither am I, ejabberd isn't the easiest beast. I switched to openfire instead [12:34] anybody home? [12:34] i noticed the forums are down, is this only temporary i hope? [12:34] fuse: dilunge has the same problem. it cannot open post automatically. [12:34] Seveas: A strange thing tho, I'm on a vps, and this is the only ubuntu-install they have available, and it don't support mysql, what kind of vps is that? :P [12:34] smokewon, we hope so too :) [12:34] Seveas, i was trying to sell some newb on jabber over msn....the s2s feature was the strong point....since i am under the assumption that msn is but only one server with no load spreading like jabber [12:34] Moofius, a quite crappy one :) [12:35] I don't know, sorry. I had enough hassle forwarding ports to get WWP multiplayer to work [12:35] Hey guys [12:35] airtonix, well, it's a fairly large cluster of servers but all controlled by microsoft [12:35] Whys the forums always down? [12:35] transmission works off the bat for me [12:35] Seveas, so bascially i have my windows machine with a usb dongle device that connects to my wireless router, and a lan card wich is connected to my ubuntu server machine via cross over cable, how do i configure the subnet and what not? [12:35] gukina: they're moving hosts, so likely ubuntu has become to popular and they need more bandwidth. now they've moved one would expect the problems to abate [12:36] Fuse: thanks anyway. [12:37] verynewveryconfu: might be worth trying one more: Azureus [12:37] the eth0 device on my ubuntu server machine still cant connect to anything :S [12:37] yay vlc just closed itself whislt watching a dvd.... [12:37] how do I get sound working in VMWare? [12:37] i just installed smb via synaptic too, after i went to System->shared folders-> install necessary services :S [12:37] hey airtonix - DeCSS is illegal! [12:37] no DVDs for linux [12:37] lol [12:38] lol [12:38] I see, fuse [12:38] Fuse: I will give it a try. [12:38] ink pens in voting booths is heretical [12:38] pardon me if I ignore those stupid greedy patents [12:38] jeresy* [12:38] heresy*.... [12:38] ugh.. need.. ubuntu ... forums... stuck with cross over cable problem [12:38] when does the DVD patent expire? [12:39] Anyone know of any video editing, that allows "cropping" [12:39] what's heresy is integrated circuits in voting booths [12:39] nevagonnagiveuup: if ACTA passes, never [12:39] what the [12:39] I never heard of that [12:39] you probably don't know about ACTA since it's a secret government bill to give more power to copyright [12:40] seveas, i would switch to openfire, but openfire doesn't work with pyaimt [12:40] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Counterfeiting_Trade_Agreement [12:40] hi [12:40] hi [12:40] seveas, for me to be able to use googletalk with aim, i must use pyaimt [12:40] It's pretty disgusting [12:40] seveas, unless you know of another way [12:41] is pyamt better than pidgin?

alright lol [14:48] dl:i just use the live cd [14:48] nickweb: the benefit to having 64bit is you can use > 4gb of ram [14:48] nickweb: the main difference is that 32-bit will not easily address more than about 3.5G of RAM [14:48] kewl,dl [14:49] i only got 2g jus now - so should be ok for a couple of months!

[16:30] I have a question: I want to install the ubuntu desktop so i ran aptitude install ubuntu-desktop but i want the machine to boot into terminal and i want to run gnome-session or startx [16:30] oki [16:30] erUSUL: no .. i hjave to do this for my nic to be recodnized .."modprobe eepro100" [16:30] brian_: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove [16:31] I know about the gdm method but when i do that the machine still loads a lot of stuff and is slow compared to a server without a desktop [16:31] battousaix, that's really weird....and did you turn off/blacklist ipv6 on the home machine from the remote location? [16:31] Cheeky: then do "echo eepro100 | sudo tee -a /etc/modules" so you do not have to do it manually everytime you reboot [16:31] Bliss: is not something i'd call a real virus XD [16:31] battousaix, also .. are you using screen? [16:32] but it's a cool experiment [16:32] root@battousaix-desktop:~# ifconfig a | grep v6 produces: a: error fetching interface information: Device not found [16:32] No, not using screen. [16:32] jrib: it's not a log out issue. Just tried from the command line, logging after and trying it again. The error it gave back was from gedit both times. === sisto1 is now known as sisto [16:32] hoonteke: right. gnomevfs thinks the default app is still gedit [16:32] scunizi: :( Forgot to use your name again, not using screen. [16:32] battousaix, have you checked for a rom image update for the router? [16:33] is there a way to restore the recycle bin after accidently deleting it? [16:33] battousaix, also was your install of Hardy actually an upgrade from Gutsy? [16:33] jrib: what am I missing in the text output from gnomevfs-info test.txt? I see the MIME type, but where would I find the program to call it? [16:33] does anyone know anything about airsnort? [16:33] <_Zeus_> hardcore: what do you mean, deleting it? [16:33] hoonteke: Default app [16:33] scunizi: No, never tried. I was never sure what to look for to see what was terminating the connection. As from home I could connect to work and it would still timeout. :( I guess it would have to be router. [16:34] <_Zeus_> hardcore: did you remove it from the panel, or did you empty it [16:34] jrib: from the commandline? I don't have that field ... [16:34] i deleted the bottom task bar and i want to put one on the top task bar because i don't use a bottom one now [16:34] battousaix, I had a similar issue with a dlink router.. swapped it out for a linux based linksys.. seemed to have fixed the problem.. [16:35] hoonteke: gnomevfs-info /path/to/some/text/file | grep -i default [16:35] <_Zeus_> hardcore: just right click, add to panel, and find the trash can [16:35] I installed the ubuntu desktop, I ran aptitude install ubuntu-desktop but I want the machine to boot into terminal and I want to run gnome-session or startx for a desktop interface [16:35] i'm looking for it [16:35] I know about the gdm method but when i do that the machine still loads a lot of stuff and is slow compared to a server without a desktop [16:35] jrib: empty output. [16:35] I may be looking at another problem then. hmm [16:35] this is hardy. [16:35] thanks [16:35] I just got spammed in PM [16:36] what file can i edit to fix this? [16:36] OK, so I accidentally set my resolution to the lowest setting (320 by 125 if I remember correctly) while trying to set it up (I blame the mouse wheel). How do I set it back? [16:36] scunizi: it happens. just ignore it. [16:36] okiee i forgot the name of the sir who asked me to lspci and lsusb here is the paste sir http://paste.ubuntu.com/48942/ [16:36] i get the following error while trying to run lynx:Can't Access `file://localhost/usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html' [16:36] Alert!: Unable to access document. [16:36] just got spammed :@ [16:36] lynx: Can't access startfile [16:36] any help? [16:37] hoonteke: k, weird. This might have something to do with the fact that gnomevfs is being replaced by gvfs. xdg-open exhibits the same behavior though [16:37] The screen resolution is so bad I can't even see the System menu. [16:37] erUSUL: hey man i did that and i typed this command "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" and it gave me the same error .. [16:37] So what exactly do I do? [16:37] jrib: heh, k. it's not a *big* deal. just annoying [16:37] Ohhh man flash games in ubuntu SUCKS. [16:37] How come? [16:37] scunizi: My install was from the Get Ubuntu link, and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition - Supported to 2011. Sorry still don't know the terminology yet, it was a new install. [16:37] Cheeky: have you done "sudo modprobe eepro100" does ifconfig shows a eth0 interface ? [16:37] jrib: did not know about xdg open. but it at least has a man page. :-) [16:37] question - would defining X modules make it faster than having it autodetect? i removed synaptic definition, theo nly one, and it seems to have cut off 5 seconds or so [16:37] hoonteke: haha, xdg-open just calls gnome-open :) [16:38] erUSUL: when i did the modprobe and ran the "sudo dhclient" it worked..but the tuttorial that showed me to change to static ip told me to remove dhclient .. so i did !!!! [16:38] guys my netgear works great with windows but isnt detected with ubuntu here is the paste of lsusb and lspci http://paste.ubuntu.com/48942/ [16:38] battousaix, np.. you did a fresh install.. [16:38] can i customize the ubuntu splash/boot screen? [16:38] Cheeky: i ask does eth0 shows up on "ifconfig" [16:38] seriously? that's awesome. How'd you find that out? [16:38] jrib ^^ [16:38] !usplash [16:38] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [16:38] Am I being ignored due to "lack of common sense" or does anyone know how to set my screen resolution without going to the System menu?

[16:39] Dr_Link: in terminal gksudo displayconfig-gtk [16:39] anyone feel like helping me out with an LIRC issue [16:39] Cheeky: even after you modprobe the driver? you do not have a eth1 or something? [16:39] I don't have access to a terminal, guys. [16:39] For the third time, I can't see the menus. [16:39] hoonteke: 'dpkg -S $(which xdg-open)' then 'apt-get source PACKAGE_FROM_LAST_COMMAND'. But it turns out xdg-open is just a shell script so you can read it right away [16:39] Dr_Link: alt+f2 run gnome-terminal [16:39] Dr_Link, Alt + f2 [16:39] erUSUL: but when i ran dh-client after i did modpro it showed the etho in ifconfog [16:39] Dr_Link: either use an alternate virtual terminal or use alt+f2 [16:40] marco [16:40] polo [16:40] battousaix, screen will keep irssi running [16:40] scunizi: That's the thing I left irssi inactive for over an hour and it stayed open. [16:40] tv7497: the wifi is an usb dongle? can you paste "lsusb -v" ? [16:40] hey, is anyone in here good with WINE? [16:40] jrib: ah. cool. so I wonder when this bug will get squashed though: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/185171 [16:40] Launchpad bug 185171 in libgnome "gnome-open has no manpage" [Low,Incomplete] [16:40] <_Zeus_> !ask | KermitDFrog [16:40] KermitDFrog: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[16:41] crewsr3: mdadm [16:41] I ran displayconfig but I can't see the the dropdown for the resolution setting because the res is so small. How annoying, legend2440. Is there a file I can edit to set the resolution? [16:42] Dr_Link what video card do you have (ATi or Nvidia?) [16:42] Running Flash Games in Ubuntu is so SLOW. [16:42] How come? [16:42] erUSUL: i didnt get you sir is it possible to configure netgear usb to ubuntu sir ? [16:42] jamesish, I have webmin install, after I install mdadm do you think it will be an option in the webmin ? [16:42] I believe it's an NVIDIA. [16:42] Dr_Link: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:43] tv7497: i need to know which wifi chip the dongle uses to know wich driver to install configure... [16:43] Dr_Link google for this query "Envy-NG + Ubuntu" [16:43] and once you find it [16:43] install it [16:43] its a piece of software that will install the Nvidia drivers for you [16:43] hoonteke: install gvfs-bin and use gvfs-open :) [16:43] very simple to use [16:43] and should fix your reso problems [16:43] erUSUL: okiee now i need to get the result of lsusb -v and paste the result right ? [16:43] crewsr3: no idea; I'm a command line junkie. Never used webmin save to help a paying client. [16:43] hello [16:44] tv7497: yep [16:44] !webmin [16:44] 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. [16:44] Hi, I have a problem with Evolution - I can't send mail. I recieve all right, and all the settings and passwords are correct, but evolution just says it's unable to authenticate the SMTP server and "Bad authentication response from server". In Norway the smtp server is hosted by your ISP, and mine is Norway's biggest ISP. My mail account is hosted on a server of a friend of mine, and he says everything is as it should be, and he has tried to [16:44] connect from his computer and everything is OK for him. But on my Ubuntu computers it won't work. Any idea what this can be? [16:44] jrib: alright, thanks. ... so what *is* gnome-open for then? oh .. it was historical/transitory? and now ubuntu is moving to gvfs?

[16:46] Dr_Link, try ... xrandr -s .. like.. xrandr -s 1280x1024 [16:46] I'm attempting to get Warcraft III to run via WINE on a (somewhat outdated) laptop with an integrated graphics card--it ran fine on a Windows install, but on Ubuntu it's terribly slow, even with the -opengl option. The laptop has also had trouble with running other graphics-intensive games, like Warsow, but had no problem running these things under XP. Why the sudden difference in performance, and what can I do to fix it? [16:46] anyone else get a random message from "jann" a bit ago? [16:47] Anyone ever got a Conexant Falcon II TV Tuner workin in Ubuntu? [16:47] KermitDFrog, try #winehq [16:47] I have a strange issue with GDM. The resolution is such that I can only see the top-left quarter of the screen; but once I get into Gnome the resolution is fine. Where can I fix this? [16:47] Dr_Link here you go: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/all/envyng-gtk/download [16:47] use it, trust me [16:47] i feel your pain [16:47] i know [16:47] might hang around a bit in case anyone has a sudden inspiration, but i'll give that a shot--thanks [16:48] I already said. [16:48] I already have the drivers. [16:48] I've *had* the drivers. [16:48] there obviously not installed correctly then no? [16:48] for a good while. [16:48] make sure you uninstall them before reinstalling them ;-) [16:48] ^ important [16:48] smokewon. [16:48] Listen carefully. [16:48] is there a text only variant to pidgin= [16:48] I installed them correctly. [16:48] Dr_Link, xrandr is not a driver.. it's what controls (for the most part) resolution. [16:49] scunizi: I'm familiar with screen for installations of CPanel, or longer running scripts toward end of shift. :( [16:49] then why do you have problems with your reso? [16:49] Can anyone tell me how i can get my PS3 to notice my GNUMP3d server ??? [16:49] scunizi, not talking to you [16:49] Anyone here tried installing Ubuntu on a Medion Akoya Mini?

[16:49] open will work again! yay. :-) [16:49] AFter installing them, while in the Screen Resolution dialog, smokewon, I set the resolution too low. [16:49] KermitDFrog, because games that are DirectX based are very resource consuming when running through Wine. Wine has it's own support channel over at #winehq, by the way [16:49] it's always lovely when problems are simple. [16:49] thanks for your help jrib.

[16:55] clarkKent, you don't need root to browse [16:55] jamesish, I just set up a ubuntu server install and I have four hard drives in it. Two of them are the same size and I want to set up a software raid 1 for data protection. The other driver I just want to run normally [16:55] scunizi: i'm trying to browse to a folder that has a different owner [16:56] it says 'permission denied' [16:56] clarkKent, at terminal .. sudo ls or from the gui.. gksudo nautilus [16:56] jamesish, I installed the program you mentioned and then did a reboot and webmin gave me options on how to set up the raid [16:56] Crewsr3: okay; killing your persistent superblock is destroying something at the file system level. You'll be erasing any information on the 2 drives that you're RAIDing together. Only do that if you're sure there's nothing on there you need and you're sure that you've backed everything up blah blah. [16:56] scunizi thanks [16:57] Crews3: plus give a few seconds before doing it so that if I mis-state anything, one of the admins here can correct me ;) [16:57] clarkKent, np [16:57] jamesish, Ok, I'm sure that there is nothing on these two drivers, I have offloaded both of them [16:57] so, hasn't anybody had any problems with gnome's panels? [16:57] tv7497: it uses RTL8187B i think you have to do "sudo modprobe rtl8187" to load te module... then check with "iwconfig" that you got a wireless interface... [16:57] jamesish, They are both empty and ready to be formated [16:57] qsrv what version of Ubuntu are you running? [16:57] I tried editing xorg.conf through a LiveCD, but when I try to save changes it tells me I don't have permissions... what did I do wrong? [16:57] tv7497: this would be far easier if you could connect to irc from your ubuntu instalation [16:58] Dr_LInk open a terminal in the live CD session, and type in "sudo su" [16:58] then try make the changes and save [16:58] Dr_Link: did you try to edit the one on the cd? [16:58] Crewsr3: This is the kind of moment where you have to sit back, start letting it run and take some time to reflect on the idea that these drives need to be left alone until the process is complete. [16:58] no. [16:58] I tried editing the one on my hard drive while booted from the CD. [16:58] so after you type in sudo su [16:58] type in nautilus [16:59] In general what does everyone use for video conversion? [16:59] and all will be clear [16:59] better to just type gksudo nautilus [16:59] ya or that [16:59] smokewon, sudo su is not recommended. [16:59] erUSUL: thats the problem sir i doesnt even show that i have a wireless network sir if you tell me what are the steps to do i can note down in a text file acess that from ubuntu [16:59] tv7497: or follow this (althought you need internet conection from ubuntu) http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/07/howto-install-netgear-wg111v3-usb.html [16:59] yeah but for the sake of fixing the guys reso from a live CD lol [16:59] wont kill him [16:59] Can I?

[17:07] jamesish, Ok sounds good, so I will use persistent superblock and force initialisation of RAID, I think I'm ready! [17:08] what is Fiesty? [17:08] anw, mount it manually from the command line, or make a proper entry in fstab for it? [17:08] Is there a chatroom here for hard drive arrays? =3 [17:08] jamesish, Thanks for all of your help [17:08] clarkKent: Download getDataBack from runtime.org. In windows the pointer is removed from the file, the earlier you get to the file the better chance that the address does not contain any different data. With the free copy from runtime.org, you'll be unable to grab files separate, though will have an image to work with. It's been a while since I've used. [17:08] Crews3: Remember: if they're empty drives, we can always format and redo if need be. [17:08] how may i switch to Debian? [17:08] FedererRoger - Ubuntu version that came out before Gutsy [17:08] FedererRoger, Feisty Fawn, Ubuntu 7.04 [17:08] {PseudoNymX}, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [17:08] jamesish, True [17:08] or was it .10? [17:08] jamesish, here we go [17:08] so Fiesty is inferior? [17:08] FedererRoger, it has older packages [17:08] That's up for debate ;) [17:08] <{PseudoNymX}> Ah, it's working again [17:09] <{PseudoNymX}> I was trying to access that page all night. XD Thank you, milos_ [17:09] whats the package for hamachi? i cant find it [17:09] FedererRoger, it's recommended that you update Ubuntu every six months (in April and October) so you can upgrade your packages to the newest versions [17:09] Crewsr3: Just remember, you're not done once the RAID is built. Start reading up on building raid with mdadm to get a feel for what to do next. [17:09] battousaix thanks i'll try it out [17:09] whats the package for hamachi? i cant find it [17:09] DarX, apt-cache search hamachi [17:10] idid that [17:10] nothign found [17:10] like at all [17:10] clarkKent: Welcome. [17:10] dr_willis: there's no UUID for this partition ): [17:10] just gives me another prompt [17:10] google it [17:10] the next version of Ubuntu will include Photoshop? [17:10] can anyone help me get mozilla-acroread working [17:10] when i was going to delete the torrent file, I accidentally deleted also the downloaded files on deluge. to what directory do those deleted files go to? [17:10] i did, only the tarball [17:10] and im lazy [17:10] anw, you could use the /dev/whatever name.. and im not sure a partition can NOT have a uuid of some type.. [17:10] ive installed it all as per instructions [17:10] !uuid [17:10] 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) [17:10] on amd64, and its not showing up in mozilla about:plugins [17:10] FedererRoger, I seriously doubt it. Photoshop is a proprietary program not officially supported for any version of Linux; it'd also take up half a CD. [17:11] ciaoo [17:11] DarX, that's your problem [17:11] !list [17:11] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [17:11] wers: try use Transsmision [17:11] jvr: I always hear odd things about folks making mistakes like using the 32 bit plugin with the 64 bit version of FF; you sure you got your versions all correct? [17:11] FedererRoger: Why not use Gimp? [17:11] wers: its not in the Trash bin? [17:11] FedererRoger, Adobe Photoshop is known to work in Wine up to version CS2, but I recommend getting to know The GIMP, a free image editor for Linux [17:11] !ppa [17:11] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [17:11] gimp sucks [17:11] dr_willis: there's uuID of first (system) partition, uuID of second (swap) partition, but there is no other uuID [17:11] tbh [17:11] legend2440, that's the funny thing. didnt see it on trash [17:11] wers: nice torrent client for Ubuntu [17:12] jamesish: ive downloaded everything from here: http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/package/ [17:12] anw, what filesystem is this partition anyway? [17:12] DarX, it's more than capable of performing the tasks that most people need done - I use it every day, and I used Photoshop from 7 to CS2. [17:12] GIMP is like NOTEPAD , compared to Photoshop as OpenOffice Word [17:12] I know that psor. i just want to recover the files that i accidentally deleted [17:12] DarX a software package is only as good as the one using it. To be honest, one of the best paintings I've ever seen was from MSPaint, and found on collegehumor.com [17:12] jvr: well, that was my smart idea down the drain ;) [17:12] :/ [17:12] !trash | wers [17:12] wers: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [17:12] true that [17:12] mona lisa [17:12] this is weird. everything is installed as per instructions [17:13] dr_willis: fresh ext2 [17:13] FedererRoger, GIMP is actually a very capable program, once you know how to use it. You were used to Windows, and you're now learning Linux; you are used to Photoshop - give GIMP a chance [17:13] FedererRoger, you can use VirtualBox to run CS3 [17:13] dr_willis: previously it was encrypted TrueCrypt partition [17:13] that's what i do and it works fine [17:13] DarX http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1728017 If that was done in MSPaint, imagine what you can do with Gimp... [17:13] ceil420, gimp is to photoshop what windows is to linux [17:13] anw, somthing is weird then. You did format it after fdisking/changeing its filetype correct? You can set the uuid with the tune2fs command also i recall. [17:13] i know that, legend2440. it's not there. i deleted the files through deluge's gui [17:14] SiDi, Hardly... [17:14] SiDi: im tryin to use VirtualBox seamssly with WinXP to display in my 4 x 24 " monitors, but doesnt work [17:14] wers: oh ok [17:14] FedererRoger, once you got windows installed [17:14] jvr: without meaning to sound like an ass, either it's not installed as per instructions, or your instructions are faulty. Have you verified the instructions elsewhere? [17:14] you can install a virtualbox software [17:15] that allows you to change your screen res easily [17:15] FedererRoger: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1728017 If that was done in MSPaint, imagine what you can do with Gimp... [17:15] battousaix, don't feed the troll... [17:15] i just love how gimp fanboys give effort into telling us we should give up the most efficient piece of software for another which GUI and ergonomy design is just the exact contrary of what we use [17:16] hi [17:16] Schuenemann: Didn't notice. :( [17:16] hi [17:16] is there any dvd box with a remote controleur under linux ? [17:16] We use photoshop because we don't like gimp, thats all :) [17:16] FedererRoger, run your XP in virtualbox, then [17:16] I use gimp because it does what i need. and its easy on my wallet. [17:16] <{PseudoNymX}> Newbie here, need help with the no sound issue. The forum has proved unsuccessful. [17:16] battousaix, but I'll see anyway :) [17:17] SiDi: im using virtualbox, but UBUNTu + Virtuabox = BUG on seammesly mode! [17:17] Peripherals -> Install a CD/DVD -> Install from image -> VBoxGuestAdditions [17:17] i'm on it right now and it works perfectly FedererRoger [17:17] SiDi, you didn't install Photoshop and instantly know how to use it, you learned it. Why not take an afternoon and learn the GIMP? GIMPshop is available to make you more comfortable with the UI, and the program itself does not cost hundreds of dollars [17:17] dr_willis: I use tune2fs (tune2fs -U random /dev/sda3), but no change .. ): [17:17] SiDi: I don't use either Gimp or Photoshop, though this is kind of funny reminding me of the thread in why people choose Microsoft over Linux. One of the arguments was people could afford windows, or believed windows was better. ;) [17:18] ceil420, i already had to use Gimp, and i can say from my experience that : Photoshop filters, being more resource-consuming, are more efficient [17:18] SiDi: no , doesnt work https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ose/+bug/230811 [17:18] Launchpad bug 230811 in virtualbox-ose "virtualbox does not redraw background in seamless/compiz mode" [Low,Confirmed] [17:18] dr_willis: but I see disk in "/dev/disk/by-path" [17:18] anyone use vmware in ubuntu and can help me with 'failed to connect to peer process' error? [17:18] and that photoshop keyboard shortcuts are much more user-friendly and ergonomic than gimp ones [17:18] battousaix, or everybody uses it :D [17:18] or "why change?" [17:18] SiDi, you can set the GIMP keyboard shortcuts to whatever you need to use [17:18] I like the way ceil420 thinks, but I think I'm going with Schuenemann on feeding trolls. [17:19] yeh, and i dislike having to pass an afternoon setting shortcuts because they're just weird [17:19] Gimp is inferior by default, cant compete with industry standards [17:19] battousaix, indeed [17:19] gimp is very good for people who do simple things and for people who don't need the BIG BIG suit, but photoshop remains better for pro designers [17:19] thats my point of view [17:19] ok, since we're talking about gimp now [17:19] does anyone know of a converter from Paint.NET PDN images to Gimp format or even to PSD? [17:19] SIDI, of course [17:20] http://www.mergytes.com/zaidimas/erika/?key=875b86f20b72bfa4cb33cf10571d1347 [17:20] http://www.mergytes.com/zaidimas/erika/?key=875b86f20b72bfa4cb33cf10571d1347 [17:20] http://www.mergytes.com/zaidimas/erika/?key=875b86f20b72bfa4cb33cf10571d1347 [17:20] ZZZN0W: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I guess. also some changes to disks might need a reboot to be seen by the system [17:20] gimp is totally inferior, cant even support 32 bits graphics [17:20] ? [17:20] Hey all, is the new VLC update going to be in pushed into the repositories for ubuntu 8.04 and 7.10? [17:21] hello ?

Go to #ubuntu-offtopic [17:22] anyone who can solve my problem [17:22] jamesish, Thanks for all of you help, is there something in particular that you think I need to look for after the raid is done building [17:22] ximal, hi [17:22] ? [17:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/48958/ [17:22] <{PseudoNymX}> milos_, No sound whatsoever. I'm using a Sound Blaster X-Fi, and it doesn't appear to be supported by ALSA. Nothing is muted, and the soundcard is being detected. [17:22] Schuenemann: I think google should start using that as a slogan, though throw a bit of sarcasm in there. I swear google will soon have a monopoly over something. They are growing too bing and preventing their growth can only lead to failure. My county projected within the next year to have a county-wide wireless network. Google offered to set it up and were denied... [17:22] murlidhar: what is tehr problems [17:23] FedererRoger: http://paste.ubuntu.com/48958/ [17:23] crewsr3: Creating a RAID creates a new hardware device in /dev that you need to mount. I'd make sure you'd looked at that. [17:23] murlidhar: what is NTFS? [17:23] Crewsr3: It'll be something like /dev/md0 [17:23] SiDi: http://www.gimpshop.com/ [17:23] err . NT file system [17:24] * SiDi doesn't like The GIMP and doesn't intend to use it. [17:24] when I create symlinks on my internal HDD that link to a location on an external HDD, and then unmount that external HDD. will the symlinks be deleted? what will happen if I try to access them? And will they be valid again, if I remount? [17:24] curious.. is using the server OS going to gain me anything over just desktop ( no I dont have mass servers, just looking to start simple and build ontop of that) ?? [17:24] SiDi: nobody is forcing you to use it [17:24] battousaix, hehehe. Well, they already have a slogan... everytime they make something (like chrome or android), people say "it is MADE BY GOOGLE" [17:24] Hey, i have a set of monitors that i want to display video/text/ads/etc and is centrally controlled, can anyone recommend any software that can do that? [17:24] i am not able to enable read write support to ntfs drives . http://paste.ubuntu.com/48958/ [17:25] and isn't it made bya google??? [17:25] jamesish, Thanks for the heads up, it is listed at /dev/md0 [17:25] Crewsr3: You'll also need to put a file system on there, I believe. [17:25] xbxb: the symlink will still be their, but won't work. once the device is remounted (as long as it's mounted to the same location) it should once again work [17:25] leprasmurf: thanks [17:25] OLA PESSOAL COMO VAI [17:25] jamesish, should I put something list /raid and then mount that?

[17:51] mapreduce: check /etc/init.d/skeleton is a bash script that serves as example on how to do a init.d script [17:51] My specific use case is that I build something on the local machine, stop it on the remote, copy the new version to the remote and then start it on the remote again. [17:51] I lose the music I'm playing when I switch users in hardy, is there any way to keep the sound going as in gutsy? if I could just get a keyword that could help me find a solution it would be great [17:51] Is that reasonable for init.d scripts?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [21:13] ebel: hey, how to use ascii code in regexp, that character got ascii = 246 [21:13] I created a VM config file at easyVMX.com what am i supposed to install so that I can use the VM. I would like to run XP from inside ubuntu [21:13] Bogus8: No. It's not mainline yet, and as such not supported. ReiserFS (Resier 3) is supported though. [21:13] yigal, i can play the files through window smedia player though, but of course it opens up fullscreen for my browser, thus is how i get project playlist right now [21:13] Flannel: hmm, they have the packages for managing it [21:13] smm289, last time i checked the site, it does not work that way [21:14] smm289, but it can work the other way around [21:14] Flannel: can I add it... it seems quite stable from what I've read... just a bunch of politics and redtape keeping it out of the kernel? [21:14] note the can, never said does. [21:14] ohh, well is there a way I can run XP from inside ubuntu [21:14] smm289: yes [21:14] Bogus8: you can't install to it, I suppose you may be able to use it afterwards (possibly even migrating to it) [21:14] thats actually what i emant, the XP inside ubuntu.. but ahve a look at the ubuntu webpage. http://ubuntu.com [21:14] smm289: many many ways [21:14] danbh_intrepid: thanks i'll give it a try [21:15] Flannel: I'm looking to use it for a raid 5 mass storage [21:15] Im looken for the simplest GUI method for running XP inside ubuntu [21:15] jrib: huh... nothing upgraded, newly installed, non removed and none upgraded... still need a pastebin? [21:15] smm289: there's vmware or virtualbox [21:15] hi [21:15] smm289: use virtualbox, it is free and works just fine [21:15] and virtualbox is listed in the Add/remove section of ubuntu [21:15] smm289: simplest may not suit your needs, virtualbox workstation has usb driver support as far as I'm aware other options do not, you may not need it but just a heads up [21:15] good deal [21:16] s/virtualbox/vmware [21:16] NorthByNorthWest: ah, put hardy-proposed back in your sources.list [21:16] doh [21:16] if you need a high level of security and your cpu supports hardware virtualization, then you can use kqemu (not as comfortable though) [21:16] I have a REALLY stupid question, someone just tell me yes or no. [21:16] jrib: oki, ill just enable it in the gui tool [21:16] Ka1: yes [21:16] can can i check if my cpu supports hardware virtualization [21:16] Does an X86 arch OS work on a x64 platform? [21:16] using a core2dup t7500 [21:16] I don't know if I even woreded that correctly [21:16] Ka1: yes [21:16] Ka1: yes [21:16] I have a button for enabling and disabling the wireless on my laptop. I think it's broken in the disabled position, is there anyway I can turn it back on? [21:17] kal-varnsen, thats what im using man, x86/64 bit hardware and architecture [21:17] So If I installed XP x86 It will work on my X64 computer? [21:17] smm289: use kqemu only if you really need a high level of security. you can check with cat /proc/cpuinfo in console [21:17] kal-varnsen, yes [21:17] kal yes [21:17] Flannel: so do I need to run that kernel patch to even mount the fs? [21:17] Ka1: ask ##windows [21:17] smm289: i meant kvm btw, not kqemu [21:17] is ubuntu better then windows vista for desktop use? [21:17] mixed the two up [21:17] xav3s, personally yes. [21:17] Bogus8: I have no idea. [21:17] Why do all of the kids keep using the term 'ne1'? Is it really that much effort to use the word 'anyone'?

[21:19] freeman: 8.04.1 defaults to PulseAudio, switch it back to ALSA in System --> Prefs --> Sounds [21:19] mrjerky, can u halp meh install ubuntu on windowz0rz xpay? pls, I srsly need halp.. ne1?

[21:20] frederific: try pulse then [21:21] NorthByNorthWest: nope [21:21] Ka1: Most 64 bit processors have a 32bit compatability mode (if its an intel or amd one, it does) [21:21] mrjerky: Please take it elsewhere. [21:21] jrib: here goes! [21:21] so what exactly does x86 mean? it's compatable with both 64 and 32? [21:21] Flannel, ok [21:21] NorthByNorthWest: wait. Yes, you do 'sudo apt-get upgrade' but don't need 'sudo apt-get update' [21:21] * mrjerky has joined #ihatekids [21:21] Ka1: Come to #ubuntu-offtopic and I'll explain in more detail [21:21] Cpudan80: ah, that seems to have got it [21:21] jrib: sorry... ment 'update' [21:21] thanks a lot [21:21] Can't get to grub-install to work [21:22] frederific: weird - cause Pulse doesnt do the mixing right for me - but alsa does. Guess it depends on your HW [21:22] anyone? [21:22] jrib: oki, its downgrading a bunch of stuff! [21:22] Every time I do 'sudo grub-install /dev/sdc', it says 'Could not find device for /boot: not found or not a block device' [21:22] Any ideas? [21:22] ok I realize now a way to have compiz as the default wm is to change /usr/bin/gnome-wm and set WINDOW_MANAGER=$compiz, the next question I have is what is $compiz? is it "compiz" "compiz.real" ? [21:23] Cpudan80: Yeah, I guess it is. this is on my laptop; on my desktop ALSA works... [21:23] jrib: oki, done! need to reboot (its not the computer im chatting on) [21:23] NorthByNorthWest: k [21:23] jrib: nothing to do before reboot? [21:23] frederific: yeah... not real sure whats up [21:23] NorthByNorthWest: nope, we'll get rid of the apt stuff afterwards. cross your fingers I guess [21:24] jrib: here goes nothing! :) [21:24] Hello everyone.

[21:26] nope that didn't work, loading compiz takes more than 5 seconds that's just unacceptable [21:26] jrib: oki, reboot and login no prob! [21:27] NorthByNorthWest: alright, disable hardy-proposed and delete /etc/apt/preferences [21:27] i give up lol, this samba just doesnt wana work, piece of sh%%$ [21:27] mtcage: do you have a question? [21:27] whats wrong with samba [21:27] jrib: done!

[21:28] jrib: no go, same errors! :( and it wants to upgrade a bunch of linux-headers... [21:28] mtcage: haven't really played with samba much. Can you use samba on the server itself locally?

[21:34] jrib: http://pastebin.com/d1cb57a8c [21:34] on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM it states that I must add myself (my non-root user I presume) to the libvirtd group.

[21:35] !backup > nananuu [21:35] nananuu, please see my private message [21:35] anars, the backticks around `id -un` make it run that command and insert the output into the command line. its possible that id -un is giving the original users name [21:35] i have Gnash installd wand i installd the newest version of adobe flash player ! [21:35] hi i am new to linux and I am having an issue with linux software raid. i have created a RAID5 array with 5 brand-new 1TB disks, mounted it with samba, and my sequential write speed of large files is only 30MB per second. I was wondering where I could go to discuss tweaking the array. thank you very much. [21:36] dr_willis: ohhh, of course! my bad. thanks for enlightening me. [21:36] delcoyote, try apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [21:36] delta... can you go to firefox and in the address bar type in about:plugins ? this will show you what plugins you have. If you have not done so already... install flashplugin-nonfree for adobe flash version 9 [21:36] anars, note those are backticks.. NOT single quotes. :) i am guessing [21:36] NorthByNorthWest: just do: sudo apt-get install libc6=2.7-10ubuntu3 lib32asound2=1.0.15-3ubuntu4 # [21:36] anars, $ id -un [21:36] prints -> willis [21:36] [21:37] dr_willis: you are perfectly right. it's working like a charm. [21:37] Hello! I'm having some trouble with my brother laser printer. In particular, it prints .pdf files (from evince) extremely slowly - 2-3 mins per page, for scans of books. Does anyone know why this might be happening and if there's anything I could do to speed it up? [21:37] NorthByNorthWest: ignore that last one. just do: sudo apt-get install libc6=2.7-10ubuntu3 lib32asound2=1.0.15-3ubuntu4 libasound2=1.0.15-3ubuntu4 [21:37] anars, ive never even seen the 'id' command befor. [21:37] Hi.. to get suspend to work on my laptop i have to add "options snd-hda-intel model=targa-2ch-dig" to alsa-base and SUSPEND_MODULES="ehci-hcd" to /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules. Anyone care to explain what this does? [21:37] delta16, you can uninstall gnash if you like... and flashplugin-nonfree will give you adobe's proprietary flash install. [21:37] mtcage: can you access it by ip? [21:38] dr_willis: me neither. I just typed in my username manually, but I thought I might look into it anyway. [21:38] anars, another test -> sudo echo `id -un` also prints willis. :) [21:38] damn i took me a whole houre to compile Gnash :S [21:38] dr_willis: that's the one I did too, after you pointed out they were backticks :-) [21:39] Hello All! I have a slightly off topic question regarding SVN repos I was hoping someone could help me with [21:39] !ask | Akiva [21:39] Akiva: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [21:39] is it possible to vnc into ubuntu workstation where the desktop would be different from my regular :0 session [21:39] ? [21:39] Hi! I have laptop hp tx1330... but never I can use with proyector or other flate panel monitor!.... some body know how can I configure this feature? === l is now known as Guest62906 [21:40] rod: projectors ususally work out of the box with Ubuntu, you just need to hit fn + Fsomething key on your laptop for it to work [21:40] it depends on your laptop [21:40] I am a first-time SVN user (using SVN from MediaTemple via Subclipse Eclipse plugin). MediaTemples insructions suggest to setup the repo in a non public folder (data) and not in the document root. I assume this is a security measure. So when I commit, it only updates the repo, not the site itself. So I must FTP / SSH it anyway, yes? Is it that unsafe to have the repo on the doc root even if mod rewrite protects all .svn folders? [21:41] but it's usually the FN key + one of the F keys [21:41] for mine it is FN + F7 [21:41] hi [21:41] where can I get kernel-patch-2.6-reiser4 package? [21:41] Akiva: You set up the repo in a non-public folder because the data files for the repo aren't really human readable, and don't need to be. The data gets accessed through svn, not by hand. [21:42] I need some help i want to know how to install starlogo on ubuntu manually [21:42] Flannel: Correct, which is great for working with the files. But when you Commit, does that not also have the ability to update the site, I mean, you are technically posting the data in a way [21:42] well its acrtually star logo tng [21:43] Akiva: The repo stores all the data for everything, and then the site would be one working copy (just like the one you have on your computer) that gets checked out/updated/etc to bring it up to date. [21:44] can someone tell me how to set up an e-mail account on my desktop so that its myname@myname.com ?? [21:44] vecx: thanks, but I try fn + f4 in my laptop... but I think is other problem. Because I can see in external monitor or proyector ONLY STARTUP PROCESS... when I have grafical login I can not see in external output! === Guest62906 is now known as EvilDaemon [21:44] Flannel: Thanks for your time. I figured a solo project was the best way to finally use SVN. I have been aching to. Back to topic: It seems odd because I can check out the repo, as it's only me anyway, and working on it, commit, etc, and the live site has not changed... So I must be misunderstanding something here. Also, other setups I have read about actually have the .svn folders within the live /html/ root, not like the MediaTemple tut [21:44] does anybody know how to manually install packages [21:44] kris_: You mean like a .deb you downloaded? [21:44] I'm having trouble with 'GRUB Error 21' in Ubuntu on startup [21:44] kris_: why? [21:45] kris_, clarify what you mean by 'manual' [21:45] Akiva: .svn is the data folder for a working copy, not the server. [21:45] like a .trz [21:45] Intrepid is due out soon, what are the chances of Open Office 3 being available to Intrepid ? [21:45] N1ckR: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks [21:45] I'm having trouble with 'GRUB Error 21' in Ubuntu's startup. I've gone into GRUB's command line and tried '/boot/grub/stage1' and that returns (hd0,0). However, GRUB is trying to boot off (hd2,0). How can I change this permanently to (hd0,0) [21:45] is there anything overtly wrong with using make-kpkg to build a vanilla kernel from git and installing the resultant deb in Ubuntu? Any guides I should know about for pitfalls to this practice? [21:45] well i think that is is idk [21:45] mrjerky: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=62717 [21:46] Flannel - OK, Thanks. [21:46] mrjerky: 'GRUB Error 21' is when table partition is wrong. [21:46] it wont load on its own and the site i downloaded it from says u need to do it manual but give no instructions on how to do that [21:46] Hi all! I'm trying to set up a wireless connection between my ubuntu laptop and my Htc Artemis via WMWirelessRouter, anyone is expert? Ubuntu doesn't see any network instead of winzozz... [21:46] Rodzilla, how's that fixed? [21:47] Flannel: I think I confused you. I know that the hidden .svn folders are the working copy data, not the actual server, but... Here, see their suggestion for yourself: http://kb.mediatemple.net/article.php?id=143, they actually suggest using a totally different place on the server for the repo, not storing the working folders within the /html/ doc root [21:47] N1ckR: if it isn't already included, it won't be... it's past the freeze [21:47] mrjerky: rebuilding table partition [21:47] Rodzilla, is that a grub thing? [21:47] sooo [21:48] mrjerky, nop... You need use fdisk or gparted for remake partition. [21:48] I've got gparted [21:48] Flannel: So, I understand the REPO is not in the servers public /html/ doc root, but when I access the site via FTP, the site is not even showing the .svn working folders, yet the REPO location is [21:48] Hi [21:49] what must I backup to have the settings and all instaled programs backuped? file system or what? [21:49] QUIEN VIVE EN MEDELLIN COLOMBIA [21:49] Dell, BIOS beeps twice, stops. If I hit esc, one beep and start [21:49] is it possible to adjust the style of power-saving? ie: scale vs. don't scale the CPU? [21:49] Flannel: I hope that makes sense. Being a first time SVN user, I may be unclear in how it works, but it seems to me that not COMMITING it would not only update the repos working folders, allowing others to see the work, but should also update the files to the real life data, no? Otherwise it is strictly only to archive all changes. In which case, that was my first question. [21:49] i want a bio hazard suit for my birth day [21:49] nananuu, to save settings backup your home folder. and to backup all programs use apt-on-cd [21:50] jrib: running out of ideas? [21:50] Akiva: Lets move this to #ubuntu-offtopic, its moving farther from being relevant ;) [21:50] NorthByNorthWest: did anything happen with the last one? [21:50] flannel, hahaha [21:50] yo yo yo [21:50] good morning all! [21:51] mrjerky, put ATENTION... that partición 1,2,3 must be Consecutive... for example partition one begin sector 1 an finish sector 3344, paritition 2 begins in sector 3345 an finish 5323... etc. [21:51] Is there anyway to put the terminal in the panel on Ubuntu? [21:51] Rodzilla, OKAY THEN [21:51] jrib: sorry! didnt see that one! Ill do 'apt-get install libc6=2.7-10ubuntu3 lib32asound2=1.0.15-3ubuntu4 libasound2=1.0.15-3ubuntu4' [21:51] Hey, does anyone know a good little web server I can install on my laptop for web development (python, cgi)? I don't really want to install something like apache. I'm thinking more along the lines of the convenient development servers that frameworks like django come with, where you just run the server in a terminal not even as root, and just kill the process when you're done [21:51] is there color dept 32 in linux, or is 24 highest? [21:51] ryan_: you could use tilda, how do you mean panel? [21:52] radovich: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth#32-bit_color [21:52] usser, then I need cd? [21:52] radovich: you can get it but its fairly pointless [21:52] Yeah the panel. that is what I said. thanks. [21:52] Hi [21:52] thanx [21:52] How do I enable viewing of hidden files in Nautilus? [21:52] nananuu, the or apt-on-cd is capable of creating iso files which u can backup [21:52] Jampiter: view -> show hidden [21:52] radovich: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth [21:52] ryan_, find it on the menu "Applications -> Acessories" then right-click on it [21:52] Thanks :) [21:53] an option "add this to the panel" will appear [21:53] Well, that was strightforward :p [21:53] seanh, http://cleverdevil.org/computing/24/python-fastcgi-wsgi-and-lighttpd [21:53] I've heard lighttpd is light [21:53] radovich: The term “32-bit color” is most often a misuse referring to 24-bit color images with an additional eight bits of non-color data [21:53] jrib: oki! that done, no prob! [21:54] hi =). IS all I have to do, well basically, is to give the kernel some kind of "im a raider" to install ubuntu on a fakeraid system? [21:54] NorthByNorthWest: let's try ia32-libs again [21:54] Thanks Python1320 [21:54] for all, some body have problem with output for externet monitor or projector, I have laptop hp xt1330, nvidia card. But NEVER I can use one projector! [21:54] Infinito: Awesome! thanks. Now on reboot will the terminal be placed on the panel from here on out? [21:54] np [21:54] usser, and after I backup those two when I will do some thing wrong I recover and my ubuntu will be like now? [21:54] ActionParsnip: the rest of the 8 bits being alpha? [21:55] ryan_, things will remain the way you've just set them. [21:55] td123: that and bump data [21:55] Infinito: thanks again. [21:55] jrib: getting there... now it only wants lib32gcc1 and lib32stdc++6 [21:55] glad to help [21:55] ActionParsnip: what's bump data?

I'm trying to install ubuntu on a fakeraid system. How do I tell the installationprogram that I have a fakeraid computer? [21:56] jrib: just do a 'sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1" and pastebin? [21:57] NorthByNorthWest: yeah, you'll probably get errors [21:57] nananuu, yes it should be if your installation is fairly standard, unless u made some customizations like changed config files in /etc [21:57] !raid | du_e_kalle [21:57] du_e_kalle: 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 [21:57] usser, ok thanks [21:57] Hey guys [21:58] hai.

[23:23] patchon, since time immemorial [23:23] OdnsRvns: only 2d [23:23] boooo [23:23] lol [23:23] OdnsRvns: run your games via wine [23:23] wine isnt that good [23:23] ive tried [23:24] OdnsRvns: it is if you configure it properly [23:24] i can back that up ^^ [23:24] Flannel:, but thats my case here... [23:24] sure is one of the best alternatives out there. [23:24] my css is laggy [23:24] OdnsRvns: or you could cought up a small amount for cedega [23:24] and im confused by why [23:24] cedga does what [23:24] Flannel, no, the regular user can delete files in his own directories - even those owned by root [23:24] !cedega [23:25] hey all [23:25] OdnsRvns: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-5182.html [23:25] ive got a little problem, i have a 19gb tar file on my linux box and i need to break it into 1gb parts [23:25] whats the best way to do that? [23:25] odns: it's like wine but for games and you pay for it [23:25] yea doesnt help [23:25] how much [23:25] patchon, think about this - if a user creates files in your directory and is no longer available to delete them later, you are stuck with files you don't want - you must have full control over your directories - because they are _yours_ [23:25] odns: 30$ i think [23:26] one time or monthly [23:26] OdnsRvns: http://www.transgaming.com/ [23:26] what differense between Ultimate and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS DEsktop? [23:26] one time i believe [23:26] demontager: Ultimate isn't supported. [23:26] which games are you trying to run? [23:26] unop: aight. thanks for taking time explaining...i guess that logical, but still ive not noticed untill now... :D [23:27] How you think, Ubuntu better then Mandriva? I never use it? [23:28] demontager: i use both. Its good to try it man, see if you like it more [23:28] dr_willis: i had compiz, apparently [23:28] demontager: you can always switch back [23:28] demontager: id try a tonne of distros [23:28] downloading advanced desktop effects settings, you can modify auto-raise [23:28] if you are a developer, i recommend removing raise-on-click feature =p [23:29] so what the distro for you more suitable? [23:29] ubuntu or some thing based on debian =) [23:29] !ot > demontager [23:30] what? [23:30] demontager: well my mandriva does my fileserver and is as old of the hills. Ubuntu works well and the support is good. I dont do anything fancy so its fine for me. [23:31] which kde version preinstalled there? [23:31] is there some way to start gnome with NO metacity and initally with compiz? [23:31] Need some help figuring out why I have no 3d accel: ATI 9100IGP, ubuntu website says full 2d/3d accel with default driver. some looking says that the mesa3d indirect render driver is in use. Is there any way to figure out what happened and why the default driver is not being used [23:31] demontager: kde3.5, you can update to 4 if you really want [23:32] h'ok i've got a dilemma i'm trying to burn a ubuntu image on a mac for a pc. could some please point me in a direction for solutions/ process? [23:32] or is it called day dreaming? [23:32] !ati | CartoonCat [23:32] yigal, u can use fusion icon and it will remember which to to use [23:32] !compiz | yigal [23:32] Ginreoh it burns just like any other iso [23:32] Ginreoh: Thats no different than burning any other image on a mac. Grab the iso, burn it. [23:32] asmo[ VM machines dont have good 3d [23:32] xxploit: but it seems to start metacity before compiz no matter what I tweak [23:32] why only CD version available, DVD no possible? [23:33] !lamp [23:33] koshari: I know VM don't have good 3d... [23:33] ActionParsnip that did nothing.... [23:33] if i recall correctly i have to use a specific program form the mac right? [23:33] demontager: there are dvd isos but they just have the other desktops on the disk, which most people dont use as they use web repos [23:33] koshari: but why are you telling me? :) [23:33] !ati [23:33] where's the bot? [23:33] demontager: There is a DVD version: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/release/ [23:33] [15:07:05] <-- ubottu has left this server (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)). [23:33] xomp: Vacation [23:34] arg lol, I need the LAMP documentation :S [23:34] xomp: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [23:34] thanks again Flannel [23:34] how do i set up OpenGL drivers? [23:34] Whats that IDE called anjunta? [23:34] Anjuta [23:35] yigal, well i imagine you could setup an xinit file to load for example the gnome panel and then compiz...i used to do it with fbpanel + compiz [23:35] asmo[B] sorry i was looking way up the scroll [23:35] CartoonCat: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-250836.html [23:36] no worries :) [23:36] xxploit: sounds reasonable, will the xinit file remove what gnome is doing by default, that is I believe loading metacity? [23:36] ok so I've replaced the cdrom drive and I've replaced the cdrom [23:36] it's just unable to mount anything on boot [23:36] Dr_Linux they will be set up as part of the 3d driver for your gpu [23:36] ubuntudebug: does it detect in bios? [23:37] if i use Intel CoreDuo on laptop can I choose AMD64 distro? [23:37] yigal you want emerald? [23:37] apparantly there not set up correctly [23:37] Is there a way to control print jobs that I use lpr to send? [23:37] demontager: Yes [23:37] Where can I find linux market share? [23:37] hi, i'm trying block torrent with gufw but it always pass and the download doesnt stops never! [23:37] yigal, well im sure it mite disregard a few things, for example...nautilus probably wont draw your desktop and maybe a few others...never tried it with gnome. [23:37] koshari: don't really have a preference [23:37] demontager: yes, its just a 64bit chip like the intel [23:37] I just want to cancel them because I am not on the network now. [23:37] Elijah: That's offtopic for this channel, you might try #ubuntu-offtopic [23:37] you have compiz running however? [23:38] xxploit: right, I'm used to using xinit with tiling window managers, I'm not giving up as it's taking a bit longer that reasonable to load gnome [23:38] and I think that can be fixed [23:38] how can I mount a separate partition on top of an existing folder (/bin for example) and have all new files written onto the new partition, but have the changes to the existing files written to the original partition, and still have files on both partitions accessible?" [23:39] how do i add something to end of a file from terminal? [23:39] askand: use [23:39] askand: echo foo >> file [23:39] raistlinmaje7: a hard link? [23:39] a what? [23:39] raistlinmaje7: not sure what you want, sorry [23:39] ActionParsnip, what do you mean? it begins to boot, I see the kernel messages, the kernel finds the cdrom drive sd sr (attached scsi generic sg0/1 respectively) and then /root/var/log: No such file or directory and a stream of errors mounting because it can't find the device [23:39] hi there. I've installed emerald, how can I make my Compiz use Emerald instead of standard window decorator? [23:39] ie, /sys, /proc, etc [23:39] thanks [23:40] vonderer: emerald --replace & ? [23:40] unop: sorry for asking again, but say i want to have a folder, writable by different users from the same group, but they should not be able to delete eachothers files. lets say its an ftp upload folder =) [23:40] yigal: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_compiz-fusion [23:40] thanks ^^ haven't thought about it. Will GNOME remember my choice? Or I'll have to run it every time I start GNOME? [23:41] yigal: seach Replace KDE's window manager on startup [23:41] patchon, chgrp the directory to the group holding all those folders - and chmod g+s the folder - that way, any files created are owned by the group - and thereby, all users in the group inherit the group permissions on the directory. [23:41] yigal, i think youd have better luck using fbpanel(or theres like 2 others, one of them is really descent forget which it is though) then using a background setter think maybe the one im thinking of is hsetroot? then loading compiz. So the xinit would be load background/load panel/init compiz [23:41] what is a good program for burning video dvd's from the .avi format for ubuntu [23:41] !startup | vonderer [23:41] #sdz [23:41] I meant, I have a VERY small install partition, (1 GB) I want to install the extra larger packages onto a flash disk that is external, but have that partition mounted so that the OS thinks its writing to the install partition, but is actually writing to the external device [23:41] !info devede [23:41] hey anyone here know about hybserv package? [23:42] xxploit: thanks [23:42] ActionParsnip: thank you too [23:42] yigal: thanks ^^ haven't thought about it. Will GNOME remember my choice? Or I'll have to run it every time I start GNOME? [23:42] vonderer: fusion-icon should keep your preferences [23:42] hi i am a newbie... [23:42] ASrock: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/55434-avi-dvd-ubuntu.html [23:42] with major problems [23:42] could somebody help me? [23:42] !ask | carol [23:43] I'm running Windows XP, can someone tell me how I can run Ubuntu in something like vmplayer [23:43] ok thanx [23:43] but I would prefer that when the OS needs to read something that was originally on the physical hard disk, it could fetch it off of the hard disk [23:43] yigal: thanks [23:43] i tried to patch my intel 2200 wifi card drivers for packet injection [23:43] but now the card is no more recognized by iwconfig [23:43] Mike_00: you could use wubi [23:43] how can i go back to the previous driver? [23:43] when i copy text (from firefox) it will only stay on clipboard as long as that program is open, how can i have it so that it stays on clipboard until something else replaces it [23:43] carol: do you know the name? [23:44] carol: did you backup the file before patching? [23:44] of what? [23:44] no [23:44] i didnt back up [23:44] so, how do I mount a partition on top of an existing folder, and have the OS figure out to read/write new files to the mounted partition, but to read/write the existing files to the hard drive? [23:44] it compiled the kernel and commented out something but i have no clues anymore [23:44] ActionParsnip: Would that let me run Ubuntu in a window while in XP? [23:44] Hey how do i tell bluez to run a shell script to get the pin, as my bt keyboard gives up if not given th ekey fast enough [23:44] raistlinmaje7: you don't. You'll need to move the full contents of that folder onto the new partition [23:44] i thought i could just reinstall the old situation because the card was working out of the box after installation of 8.04 [23:45] i am hoping if i tell it the same pin as in windows it will work [23:45] Daft_Punk: glipper [23:45] i know i am a moron [23:45] Flannel: that can't be, the live CD can figure out to write new things to RAM, but read existing things off of the cd [23:45] carol did you try ifconfig ? [23:45] I need a better movie player n e suggestions? [23:45] how? [23:45] Mike_00: yes, it'll appear in add remove programs [23:46] raistlinmaje7: Not quite, no. That's more like a RAM vs HD thing. Yours is a HD vs HD thing. [23:46] ActionParsnip, thx [23:46] iwconfig says me that no eth0 or eth1 found anymore [23:46] carol what is the nameof you wireless card normally, like eht0 ? [23:46] oh...curses [23:46] ActionParsnip: Thanks, I'll try it. [23:46] eth1 [23:46] vipaca: mplayer, vlc, totem, kaffeine [23:46] can anyone tell me how to host my owk website on my desktop..? what do i need to install? [23:46] carol so then type sudo ifconfig eth1 up [23:46] vipaca: mplayer is my personal suggestion [23:46] Daps: apache [23:46] and? [23:47] (coz i have to change the hard disk and reboot and do it offline) [23:47] is that in the server edition of Ubuntu and can i install the server edition while running the desktop edition? [23:47] Daps np [23:47] no [23:47] ActionParsnip, It's asking me for a password on the installer. Yet I don't have one for my user account. [23:47] Daps: its the same thing, just install apache and you can host [23:47] hey everyone, if I move background images (*.jpg) to /usr/share/background/ why don't they show up for all users? do I need to reboot? [23:47] Mike_00: that's a bad idea, set a user password [23:47] carol so you can't try that right now? [23:48] no [23:48] ok thanks [23:48] unop: thanks again [23:48] shane7: probably not, you may just have to re-start gnome [23:48] Mike_00: never seen that, id check guides for wubi [23:48] no odin [23:48] raistlinmaje7: but that should do it then right? [23:48] carol so what are you using to get files from? [23:48] shane7: probably [23:48] carol I mean ubuntu distribution files? [23:48] i dont know.. i thought it was on the cd [23:48] Mike_00: id listen to raistlinmaje7, ive not used wubi myself [23:49] raistlinmaje7: ok, thanks, I was hoping that was the reason, but been to busy to log out and back in. :) [23:49] actually i dont have the dvd anymore i would like to extract them from the iso on my desktop [23:49] carol thats fine, I would say first go and look for the drivers in your package manager [23:49] sudo apt-get install apache, does not work, do i have to use a website? [23:49] anyone know about hybserv? [23:49] how come whenever I install the ATI drivers on ubuntu it forces the entire graphics system to crash and I am forced into low graphics mode [23:49] Daps: It's apache2, but here, let me get you a link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [23:49] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the suggestions [23:49] Daps: try tab completing [23:50] ok odin.. what should i look for?..and then.. if it wants to download them? [23:50] Daps: that page will get you all set up [23:50] thanks Flannel [23:50] should i add in the repositories the .iso image? [23:50] possible? [23:50] Daps: you can tab complete package names just like in comand line and irc [23:50] Flannel: thanks [23:50] are there any sites for streaming videos that are really good for ubuntu? [23:50] Action: thanks [23:51] carol, I don't know what drivers you used, the ifconfig command will turn your wireless card back on if you somehow disabled it. But if you need to reinstall the drivers I would open up synaptic and search for wireless drivers. [23:51] or a program that i can use to stream [23:51] kolma, vlc? [23:51] Kolma: flash is used by youtube etc [23:51] Kolma: vlc [23:51] why does changing my cursor set in gnome appearance prefs not work? it used to. is it related to some "hardware cursor" setting? I think I saw such a setting but can't remember where. [23:51] odin ok.. but does synaptic need an internet connection always [23:51] cuz on windows i used to use stuff like ustream just wondering if anything special for linux [23:52] Kolma: I would give vlc a try, that is probably the best option [23:52] i mean to broadcst streams not view [23:52] ? [23:52] broadcast* [23:52] carol yes do download packages. [23:53] o i see :D [23:53] ty guys [23:53] how can i download them if im offline? [23:53] transfer them [23:53] plus now i am using a live cd with kde [23:53] use floppy disk [23:53] i cannot even check [23:53] um [23:53] carol see if u can download how u are now [23:53] !aptoncd [23:53] and try to access ur drive [23:53] and save in there [23:54] Carol they should be on your cd, which I beleive that synaptic can look at. [23:54] ok.. i got another problem.. s--t [23:54] i dont have the cd anymore,, i gave it away.. i got a .iso... [23:54] what software do datacenters usually use to host virtual machines? [23:55] oh.. guys .. be right back.. i go and check it out... [23:55] Sorry to be off-topicish but I can't find any help anywhere else. If someone has a 2nd gen ipod touch and has been able to jailbreak it, could they please pm me? [23:55] thanks by now.. [23:55] anyone know how to toggle using hardware cursor? [23:55] It is to be able to use it in ubuntu [23:56] hey i am having trouble with making a printer work in ubuntu [23:57] Anyone? [23:57] WhoNeedszzz offtopic and patience [23:57] aye, sorry [23:57] i have a lexmark 3350 and it's not supported in ubuntu [23:57] For a definition of the origins of "Foo" and "Bar" check out http://paste.ubuntu.com/49096/ [23:57] though it isn't exactly offtopic [23:57] Why does the default Ubuntu installation have two cron daemons and two sysloggers? [23:57] Is there any easy way to wipe a 8.04 server install back to the original(i.e. if I had just installed it) over ssh ? [23:59] Flannel: should i just install the LAMP server? what about the DNS server, or the Mail server? [23:59] 802.11b/w WLAN - this is well supported in ubuntu?
