[00:00] ivy_: what's the problem? [00:00] i am newbie, got a problem..I fucked up the wifi drivers and related files trying to do an upgrade. now my iwconfig doesnt even see the card. [00:00] I would like to know how i can recover from the installation cd [00:01] I need to upgrade HPLIP past the version that is offered by synaptic, do i need to uninstall the old one with synaptic first? [00:01] hi [00:02] sakuramboo: sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r) apt-get install alsa-base alsa-firmware-loaders alsa-oss alsa-source alsa-utils alsamixergui [00:02] i want to use the version of pidgin that comes with 7.10, is there a way to do that? 8.04's version isnt to my liking [00:02] hey [00:02] sakuramboo: modprobe emu10k1 [00:02] TiTsAnDaSS: Everything should be available in the repos. Use Synaptic to graphically install the packages. [00:02] CorbinFox, its possible that the older pidgin may not work with some of the chat systems (aol/aim/msn) due to them constantly changing things. [00:03] I'm having trouble getting nvidia drivers to work [00:03] sakuramboo: sudo gedit /etc/modules [00:03] ubuntu 7.10, nvidia geforce 8600 gt [00:03] CorbinFox: and it isn't extraordinarily difficult to compile the new Pidgin from source. [00:03] sakuramboo: at the end of modules, new line : emu10k1 [00:03] ŠØŠ no nice keyb0ard [00:03] my pidgin isn't working how do i fix it? I click on the icon in my panel and it opens a window bar at the bottom of my screen and then closes after about 7 seconds [00:03] bobertdos: i want the old pidgin tho? and i dont know how to compile from source [00:04] bobertdos I tried that couldn't find GTK+ I may need to install the upgrades since I have Dapper Drake [00:04] sakuramboo@sakuramboo-desktop:~$ sudo modprobe emu10k1 [00:04] FATAL: Module emu10k1 not found. === miki_ is now known as miki_x [00:04] hi there i got a problem with ubuntu 8.04 [00:04] does Envy still exist for installing nvidia drivers? [00:04] !find gtk+ [00:04] Found: displayconfig-gtk, gftp-gtk, gnome-icon-theme-gartoon, gtk-doc-tools, gtk-im-libthai (and 418 others) [00:04] !envy [00:04] 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 [00:04] sakuramboo: save n close modules, then : sudo-apt get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [00:04] <_bjordan> does anyone know how one might: [00:04] bobertdos, if you installed the normal ubuntu - gtk should been installed with it.. [00:04] <_bjordan> (1) take a group of photos with both date created and EXIF metadata [00:04] <_bjordan> (2) starting with one photo/time, create a slideshow/video/gif animation/flash animation that changes photos at the times they are taken? [00:05] <_bjordan> (3, optional) add the audio of this event to it [00:05] DasE1, nothing was upgraded [00:05] I cant find envy in apt repository despite having enabled all the disabled repositories in my list [00:05] dr_willis: I'm not the one asking. The person who is asking is on Dapper :p [00:05] <_bjordan> without having to do the second item manually [00:05] sakuramboo: apps>multimedia>alsamixer [00:05] sakuramboo: *gui [00:05] hmmm so let me get this straight is GTK the same as GTK+? [00:05] 'apt-cache search envy only turns' up one result and it is unrelated' [00:05] bobertdos, Err.. gnome uses gtk, so im not sure what hes really asking/needing. :) [00:06] yeah [00:06] sakuramboo: does your card show up in the mixer-gtk ? [00:06] alguien sabe como configurar el sistema gráfico en ubuntu? en centos yo uso system-config-display, que comando se usa en ubuntu? [00:06] yip [00:06] gtk is the name of the 'widget toolkit' i belive. Not sure how gtk and gtk+ differ. Perhaps one is a newer verison [00:06] dr_willis: I guess I don't either, unless........ [00:06] _bjordan, Flash would be easiest depending on what its for [00:06] sakuramboo: you're saved if you did the modules thing right, have fun... [00:07] trying to install a checkbook program and one of the files as a requirement is GTK+ [00:07] TiTsAnDaSS: What precisely are you needing? Are you looking to develop GTk apps or...???? [00:07] DasE1, like i said, with alsa, i can hear sound, but not with pulse, now, with alsa, i can only use 1 device at a time and the front panel doesnt work [00:07] <_bjordan> cyban: there would be a way to script that sort of thing within flash? [00:07] errr, not one device, one sound program [00:07] <_bjordan> cyban: to script with file creation dates? [00:07] some body know how to setup xserver? on centos I use system-config-display... What command can I use on ubuntu' [00:07] ??? [00:07] sakuramboo: try a reboot: sudo reboot [00:07] hý [00:07] _bjordan, ya you can do some fairly advanced scripting in Flash - its has things like get file properties etc [00:08] Rodzilla: first backup xorg.conf.... [00:08] VMware isn't working. [00:08] ý am playýng ban [00:08] Unbe: The resolution is 800X600, and my computer's resolution is 1200X800 [00:08] anyone know why I can't find envy in my package list [00:08] Rodzilla: gnome or kde? [00:08] do I have to manually add a repository besides the commented-out ones in the list? [00:08] tripitakit, gnome [00:08] Rodzilla: then what you look for might be : displayconfig-gtk [00:08] <_bjordan> cyban: thanks! owe you a beer [00:09] np [00:09] Rodzilla: u can try sudo /etc/iniit.d/gdm start to start an x session [00:09] ý am a ame playýng bang [00:09] whats a good option to burn a tif or jpg file to a CD in ubuntu 8.04? [00:09] Rodzilla: or : sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [00:09] noglorp: envyng-(core|gtk|qt) are in the hardy repos [00:09] ý am agame olayýng bang [00:09] Rodzilla: or also try with startx [00:09] noglorp, in add/remove if ya have all selected at the top and its not there you can add manually [00:09] what ýs the bang === uaiui is now known as jennifer [00:09] tensei: k3b or nero [00:09] hi [00:09] guys [00:09] startx [00:09] i have a problem on my cmputer [00:10] is swap partition really needed in ubuntu? [00:10] drhe|lap: depends on how much ram you have [00:10] ivy_: which version of Ubuntu are you using? [00:10] my wifi is not recognized anymore [00:10]  drhe|lap:how much ram ? [00:10] depends on your system drhe|lap [00:10] DasE1 and tripitakit, I need change video driver from nvidia to generic, because I do not have use my latop for output external monitor or projector! [00:10] after i tried to update the drivers [00:10] drhe|lap: with little ram sure it is [00:10] jennifer, ? [00:10] 512mb ram, i can bring it upto 712mb ram [00:10] bobertdos trying to install a checkbook program and one of the files as a requirement is GTK+ [00:10] yes cyban.. [00:10] thank you nickread. would you recommend going to the latest distro to fix my nvidia problems or are they pretty much the same on that front? [00:10] i mean.. darlin [00:10] how can i recover [00:10] drhe|lap, probably dont need it - but it wont hurt [00:11] VMware Server 1.0.6 build-91891 still isn't working, [00:11] noglorp: what are you on now? [00:11] drhe|lap: i'd use 1 gb swap in this case [00:11] with the ubuntu cd? [00:11] for partition, all you really need is the ext3 partition???? [00:11] Rodzilla: the file of your interest: /etc/X11/xorg.conf and also (for debugging) /var/log/xorg.0.log [00:11] hey could someone tell me how to install xchat i've just installed ubuntu on a laptop but i cant remember how to install xchat? [00:11] noglorp, nvidia issues? [00:11] jennifer, not sure... could try to reboot to the config menu but ive never gone into it, I think theres some reconfig options in it [00:11] DasE1: Does Ubuntu come with any preinstalled way to burn a CD,.. i'm looking at a data CD... ie you move the file to the cd in the file browser, and click burn [00:11] hello, i recently installed 8.04 and i'm having some problems with my desktop windows [00:11] nickread: 7.10 [00:11] milostrife, sudo apt-get install xchat [00:11] sec [00:11] salut [00:12] also, is there a "save link as" type option on Lynx :D [00:12] TiTsAnDaSS: and yes, gtk and gtk+ are generally interchangeable terms for the same thing [00:12] !list [00:12] 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 [00:12] tensei: ubuntu comes with brasero [00:12] !who>drhe|lap: [00:12] danopia, i've tried that but it says cant find repo? [00:12] i have installed ubuntu 6.06 on my friends machine that crashed it's windows. i tryed and tried to install hardy, but it would never get past the login screen, where it would go all black and not progress. so i'm kind of nervous now about upgrading through the update manager, cause i don't know if the newer version has some incompatibility with his dell dimension 2400. any thoughts? oh,... [00:12] ...and question; i don't see 'software sources' in his menu, just 'software properties' which doesn't seem to be the same thing. [00:12] tripitakit: where would I find that? [00:12] ? [00:12] tensei: a cd burning app [00:12] can somebody tell me what to do to ripristinate the originarl drivers from the cd? [00:12] milostrife, can you get anytihng else? [00:12] tensei: sudo apt-get install k3b [00:12] noglorp: Unsure if envy is in the Gutsy repo. You can get the Deb straight from the envy website though: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [00:12] milostrife, try sudo apt-get update [00:12] tensei: under main menu multimedia [00:12] Dase1: what the difference between that and brasero? [00:12] jennifer, have you uninstalled the drivers you tried to update to? [00:13] tensei: or from the shell typin brasero [00:13] no [00:13] Envy has been replaced by the envyng tool [00:13] Unable to change virtual machine power state: The process exited with an error: End of error message. [00:13] tripitakit: is it better than k3b? [00:13] danopia, tried do i have to make sure i've got meta universe selected in synaptic package? [00:13] !best>tensei [00:13] tensei, please see my private message [00:13] use envyng if everything else fails. :) [00:13] uninstall those, then reboot, then sudo apt-get update/upgrade [00:13] the new drivers just overwrite something and the kernel i think [00:13] dr_willis: yes - but envyng is only for Hardy [00:13] thanks... [00:13] what you talkin bout willis [00:13] I wouldent trust envy for any earlier releases.. i would use the nvidia.run stuff [00:13] milostrife, idk, synaptic uses apt afaik [00:13] because i cannot see the card anymore [00:13] tensei: i normalyy use braseero dont know k3b [00:13] with iwconfig [00:13] nah doubt it over wrote any kernel args that wont get undone when uninstalled [00:14] tensei: have a licence for win-nero ? [00:14] willis: the .run from nv causes me to fall back to safety [00:14] bobertdos hmmm ok well then do I just download the file extract it to the desktop and issue a apt get command in the terminal or how do I install this program? [00:14] danopia, okies i'll have a look in the forums and see if there's anything there [00:14] dr_willis: Simply use the restricted drivers manager - problem solved ;) [00:14] at least if ya uninstall you can then install, but trying to install drivers over drivers is a pain [00:14] i remember they ask me to comment out something in some file and i said yes [00:14] VMware Server 1.0.6 build-91891 still is not working, [00:14] dase1: nope.. haven't needed it yet [00:14] the restricted nv driver falls back to safety for me also [00:14] noglorp, time to do some debugging on it. and see why its doing that.. can be several different problems [00:14] tensei: there are other apps for cd burning .. [00:14] i have an nvidia Quadro FX Go1400, and none of my desktop windows have a title bar (no minimize/close buttons, etc.), gnome-terminal opens a completely white window, no text. any ideas ? [00:14] i want to ripristinate the original out of the cd [00:14] jennifer, dont have the instructions still? [00:14] if its possible [00:14] In the X log [00:14] no [00:14] tensei: just try and chosse the one u prefer [00:15] i got a nvidia geforce 5600xt. do you think i could get the fancy effects to work in ubuntu??? [00:15] it says no compatible GLX extension found [00:15] or something of that sort [00:15] jennifer, ya I think it is but you need to remove the upgraded drivers probably (Only way I can think of anyway) [00:15] lemme try running it again [00:15] i mean.. it was something called madwifi [00:15] tensei: k3b worked best for me, but everybody has its own experience [00:15] TiTsAnDaSS: Well first install all the GTK libraries from Synaptic or using apt-get (same difference), and then what is the program contained in, a deb file? [00:15] drhe|lap, how many MB is that? [00:15] hi all [00:15] tripitakit: I went under main menu but didn't see media... [00:15] sp0k34 [00:15] 256mb cyban [00:15] and it didnt succeded [00:15] but now no more [00:15] wifi card [00:15] oh ya, im runnin 64mb card with everything turned on [00:16] Rodzilla: need more help ? [00:16] bobertdos yeah I think so [00:16] cyban, what is your card name? [00:16] all the rest is perfect [00:16] Hi, I'm having a problem with VMware. Can anyone help? [00:16] jennifer, sure you just didnt do the install properly? [00:16] someone knows if on ubuntu 8.04 the wifi 0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) works ? [00:16] cause I can see networks but I cannot connet toç [00:16] yes i am sure [00:16] DasEi, whatup, nubuntu here [00:16] ati mobility raedon 300 I think drhe|lap [00:16] coz i dont see anything [00:16] now [00:16] tensei: multimedia? [00:17] i can just use the live cd like now [00:17] TiTsAnDaSS: Once all the dependencies are installed, in the terminal, navigate to where the package is and type: sudo dpkg -i [00:17] !hi>nubuntu [00:17] if i start from the hard disk no connection at all [00:17] aLeSD_, if you can see them then its working, its probably something in Network manager under system/admin [00:17] tensei: i mena graphics and video (i'm usin italian localization) [00:17] and if i put a pcmcia card.. it like it doesnt see any network... [00:17] cyban: mmm [00:17] maybe its the card [00:18] but i think i would like to recover the old drivers and links in the files from the installation cd [00:18] tensei: audio video is the submenu for me [00:18] Hey all, I'm trying to remix an Ubuntu version with Nvidia beta drivers pre-installed, anyone know why they aren't loading on boot? [00:18] bobertdos what if GTK is already installed? [00:18] jennifer, could be the card just isnt working with those drivers, the drivers you installed werent installed right - did it work before the upgrade? [00:18] cyban i will try manually ... but take a look to this post please https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/221633 [00:18] tensei: but shoud be multimedia in english menu [00:18] Ubuntu bug 221633 in ubuntu "3945ABG wireless card dosen not work with 8.04 " [Undecided,Confirmed] [00:18] tripitakit: thanks, it was under sound and video [00:18] tensei: fine :) [00:18] tensei: brasero is a gnome application [00:18] DasE1, nope, alsa is still not working right and neither is pulse [00:18] tensei: k3b itlooks as a kde one [00:18] always worked [00:19] out of the box after installation [00:19] perfectly [00:19] TiTsAnDaSS: then it's probably looking for the development headers or something along those lines [00:19] danopia, do you know how to install ubuntu studio from the terminal [00:19] like now on the live cd [00:19] tensei: so if u use ubuntu and not kubuntu should be better brazero [00:19] is there a way to install the 7.10 version of pidgin on 8.04? [00:19] simply it doesnt see anymore my eth1 card [00:19] milostrife, no, sorry [00:19] which is a wireless intel 2200 [00:19] sakuramboo: sudo apt-get install hwinfo && hwinfo > hwinfo.txt && pastebinit hwinfo [00:19] aLeSD_, ah well seems the bot says its bugged for that card so must be [00:19] is it possibly to install an older kernel ? [00:19] can anyone point me into an appropriate channel or forum for questions about nvidia quadro cards and drivers ? thanks [00:19] danopia, okies no worries [00:19] bobertdos so mark the headers for install? [00:20] anyone know how to install ubuntu studio from the terminal? [00:20] sakuramboo: pastebinit /etc/modules [00:20] standard.. but then anyway i discovered that upgrade was not really needed for my needs, and now i fucked up the installation [00:20] TiTsAnDaSS: that'd be my guess, but without knowing the dependencies of the package, I can't be sure [00:20] sakuramboo: 2 url's.. [00:20] hello [00:21] cyban: I mean ... the problem seems to be related with the 8.04 kernel ... and it seems to work on a 2.6.22 kernel tree [00:21] jennifer, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=887960 [00:21] what about install it ? [00:21] thanks i give a look [00:21] http://pastebin.com/f405af3dc [00:21] so now with NV drivers [00:21] bobertdos I may need to do some research. Once I get this program downloaded what is the command I need to issue to install it?

[00:24] I dont know the command, but if your on the live CD and its there and working then you just need the driver information that it is currently using so you can install it over the faulty upgrade [00:24] aLeSD_: 8.10 will use 2.6.27 [00:24] TiTsAnDaSS: no problem [00:24] no idea aLeSD_ [00:24] exactly [00:24] My command is `ssh -L 8809:localhost:3306 squee' and then I'm connecting to mysql using localhost port 8809, but it's still connecting to my local mysql server [00:24] I have been using ubuntu for 5 months.

[00:30] ktorrent, for example,  HollywoodJumper [00:30] cyban what about to upgrade to intrepid kernel ? [00:30] Mr_Fixit: only if they had the same permissions b4 [00:30] laanan: try the standar method first System>Admin>Hardware drivers [00:30] I found it on packages.ubuntu.com [00:30] DasE1 what is ktorrent [00:31] I just got one of those keyboards with extra keys above the function keys. But some keys do weird things ... for example, f11 doesn't seem to be f11 anymore. Is these some way to reset things for this new keyboard? [00:31] emorris, so what then?? before they were all owned y my primary user.. [00:31] Mr_Fixit: you can change permisisions/ownership recursively to a dir and all its contents [00:31] now it's all root [00:31] Hi all, [00:31] but each directory has to be changed?? [00:31] Mr_Fixit: "sudo chown -R youruser:youruser folder" [00:31] HollywoodJumper: a app for dld a torrent [00:32] Mr_Fixit: yes every dir [00:32] Mr_Fixit: sudo chown -R /the/top/dir [00:32] or could i chage like /~/user and expect it to happen all the way down the tree? [00:32] Mr_Fixit: ignore me, do what erUSUL said [00:32] When I insert a DVD Movie it plays in Spanish? I am english how do I set english only please. Thank you. [00:32] Mr_Fixit: "sudo chown -R youruser:youruser ~/" <<<< that's what you want [00:32] ffs.... [00:32] xev recognizes the "multimedia" keys above the functions keys but not emacs ... are there Ubuntu tools to make these keys available in emacs and other apps? [00:32] how come they all changed to root?? [00:32] candive: what player? [00:33] emorris, movie player [00:33] erUSUL: okay i will research that, thanks [00:34] nothing [00:34] now, i dont even get sound out of alsa [00:34] Mr_Fixit: because you copied as root. for future reference, cp -p will preserve ownership, permissions, etc [00:34]  candive: try vlc>audio>track, if you got a spanish dvd, its the wrong dvd... [00:34] yea ok..

[00:35] so all the rest is chowned to my user? [00:35] candive: Sound>Languages>English?? [00:35] Hey guys, I've got a Vista laptop and an XP/Ubuntu dual boot desktop. Is it possible to sync my Vista laptop with files from the Ubuntu install? (My XP can read Ext2/3) [00:35] drhe|lap: set u a windows partition and leave the rest unpartitioned [00:35] coool erUSUL [00:36] DasE1 what is sudo apt [00:36] !sudo [00:36] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [00:36] whatever, im ready to throw this computer out the window, ill work on this later, i need this recording done yesterday :/ [00:36] !apt [00:36] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [00:36] sakuramboo: nah, still got 20min ? [00:37] im getting nothing with audigy now [00:37] greetings [00:37] emorris, not an option? [00:37] DasE1 what are superuser privileges [00:37] DasE1, and sadly, i dont, i need this recording in an hour and its gonna take me 30 or so minutes to get it all [00:37] erUSUL: apparently there was a proprietary driver not enabled. enabling that and rebooting brings back my desktop window title bars and gnome-terminal now displays text. thanks again [00:38] Movie player languages is empty?? [00:38] laanan: no problem [00:38] emorris, Movie player languages is empty?? [00:38] ill be back some other day to work on this [00:38] Jacobbs: if you want to sync from ubuntu, see man rsync, from windows, xcopy might do what you want [00:38] sakuramboo: if you car needs a fix for free, gotta bring 30 min, maybe, sry [00:38] Thanks [00:39] candive: is the dvd playing? [00:39] HollywoodJumper: there are normal users can use a machine and root(superuser) how can change,install, control a machine [00:39] how do I change the drive cmd.exe is working on? [00:39] Jacobbs: some info on xcopy: http://www.computerhope.com/xcopyhlp.htm [00:40] emorris, not right now but it only plays in spanish i think [00:40] Jacobbs: just type it. like d: [00:40] okay cool [00:40] Thanks [00:40] candive: hmm, don't know then [00:40] DasE1 forgive my ignorance i am very new to ubuntu and very afraid of wrecking everything by doing something stupid [00:40] HollywoodJumper: sudo apt-get install ktorrent [00:41] emorris, I think I will try removing and reinstall then update. thanks [00:41] HollywoodJumper: did that ? [00:41] DasE1 how do i get to sudo apt [00:41] back later or not. thanks [00:41] HollywoodJumper: open a terminal and see: [00:41] candive: that probably won't do much. check all your locale settings are correct, etc. or use a better player, like vlc [00:41] !cli [00:41] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [00:42] HollywoodJumper:(cli-cmd) sudo apt-get install ktorrent [00:43] hi guys [00:43] HollywoodJumper: did that ? [00:44] DasE1 yes so far so good [00:44] HollywoodJumper:(cli-cmd) sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [00:44] DasE1 is downloading kde-libs [00:45] DasE1 i have very slow connection right now [00:45] HollywoodJumper:kk, run the cmd's one after another [00:45] DasE1: would he have found it easier to use applications>add/remove? [00:45] emorris:sooner or later... [00:45] Dase1 so i shouldnt wait for the first download to finish? [00:45] yes [00:46] HollywoodJumper:on a slow connection torrent isnt really funny [00:46] On a wiki, what is the tag you use to preserve formatting [00:47] on my mom's laptop, it always fails at connecting to the wireless network on the first try and then gives up. you have to manually select and connect each time..

[00:48] hi there, i have a quad core intel cpu, I Was wondering which ubuntu I need to install on my machine? x86 or AMD64? [00:48] houman_132: Both are supported. [00:48] DasE1 i dont even know what my connection speed is [00:49] houman_132: If you *need* to use over 3.5gb of ram, go for 64bits, but beware that you may have issues with some proprietary software, like flash and java. Otherwise go 32bits. [00:49] houman_132: Some quads are 32 bit and some quads are 64 bit. Look up the chip model to find out what it is [00:49] hi i am having some apt- problems [00:49] houman_132: Is it a Core2Quad or an Itanium? [00:49] how can i see if this dedicated server i got is running ubuntu or not? [00:50] DasE1 my buddy said i could get into the linksys server wirelessly with ip 121.01.59.101 [00:51] HollywoodJumper:open a browser, google speedtest, choose one, check it [00:51] !version | creative2bad [00:51] creative2bad: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [00:51] tIRCker 0.9 on XBMC SVN:15613 [00:52] *when apt is finished,hollywoodjumper [00:52] i just found out its debian [00:52] sorry folks :) [00:52] falconcrest: Please disable that script if you're going to be in this channel.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu for the first time along with windows, but I'm having trouble [00:53] hollywoodjumper:k,np, but do that meanwhile [00:54] justin_, hmm, i don't think hubs are either - they just propagate the electric signal from the port they are connected on. So it's essentially down to the controller. [00:54]  ponzerelli:go ahead [00:54] DasE1 ok [00:55] well, I've burned the ISO and everything to a CD already, and I first tried running the Demo, but when the computer reboot Windows loaded [00:55] My printer isn't working. It's just saying "Error while printing" in Open Office. Yes, it's set up to print to that printer and it appears to have the right drivers. (And it is on) [00:55] How do I mark bugs that are packaging requests? [00:55] unop: ok. My friend got me a newer version of the one I already had for my birthday. I was debating on wether to take it back or not. The other one sure slowed down file transfers to/from my flash drives. Is that normal with a hub? [00:56] greetings all can someone tell me if the python-xen-3.1 is a minimal python for just running xen or does it have to have python also installed if so anyone know how large the python install is that is used by xen? [00:56] Hi [00:56] is there a way to forcibly unmount a device even when there are still open files on it? [00:56] ponzerelli:first, did you use the installers option to verify integrity of boot medium ? [00:56] My printer isn't working. It's just saying "Error while printing" in Open Office. Yes, it's set up to print to that printer, it is plugged in and on. (It's a Canon MP210) [00:56] I'm very lost, thought I'd come in here for some help. I just received my Dell M1530 in the mail, and am trying to get that cube thingie. I got it so if I press "Ctrl Alt Left or Right", it just flips, no cube. [00:57] SasE1: are you talking about checking it with the Md5Sum program? [00:57] xbxb: cd to the directory and sudo umount -l /dirname [00:57] I mean it's cool in all, but I want a cube :( [00:57] I have a python install in a debian system that is 40 megabyte and am looking to reduce the size of it to the minimum used [00:57] in ubuntu it is ususally under /media [00:57] I am having trouble adding extra repositories in ubuntu 8.04. I can't seem to get a repository to work with the gpg key i am trying to authenticate. Anyone able to help me out? [00:57] justin_, sure doesn't appear to be normal - i can't say though for sure i'm not an expert on USB peripherals - you could ask the guys in #hardware [00:58] jfxd: thanks [00:58] not SasE1, sorry. DasE1: I checked it with the Md5Sum program and it said it was fine [00:58] this is the error I am getting when trying to apt-get update: [00:58] W: GPG error: http://ftp.debian.org etch Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A70DAF536070D3A1 NO_PUBKEY B5D0C804ADB11277 [00:58] W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems [00:58] ??

My Problem is, that if im about to LOGOUT using the lil logout-applet in the upper right corner (red symbol) it takes about 30 secs or so until the logout gui appears... some suggestions ?? [01:09] cy21: I tend to use the alternate CD, it uses less RAM to install but is less user friendly [01:09] cy21:do you want to dual boot? [01:10] OoRal, as a live cd?

[01:11] OoRal:kewl [01:11] cy21:i say dvd [01:11] !away [01:11] You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [01:11] qwm , i am a web developer.. will dvd help me more? what's the difference?

The dvd just has all of the main repository on it [01:13] you can map it tho. [01:13] riyonuk: If you set it up, you can hold it down to move windows by their contents [01:13] jrib:k [01:13] What do you mean? I was going to set it up for an effect [01:13] qwm, jrib .. ok then.. perfect installing cd... goodbye vista!!!!

[01:25] QUESTION: Im running current version 8.04 and for some reason my amd turion 64 X2 processor laptop is only running on one processor is there a fix? I dont want to change to 64 bit due to package availability compatibility issues, unless i have to. ANYONE know? [01:25] BACK with a small problem... i need a way to convert my second partition to ex3 or something witouth completely wiping out my data...anyone? [01:25] DasE1 i am new to ubuntu [01:26] anyone? [01:26] CY21, im having the same issue no help? [01:26] HollywoodJumper: a torrent is a peer to peer app, same in win [01:27] DasE1 yes [01:27] ... you can't just convert a partition cy21 [01:27] cy21: What filesystem is currently on it? [01:27] JaseX, how? [01:27] back up the data, and then reformat the partition, and re-copy the data. [01:27] DasE1 i ran sudo apt-get install ktorrent [01:27] genii, ntfs [01:27] cy21 that is highly improbably. [01:27] improbable* [01:27] JaseX, i was trying to avoid that [01:27] if there is one, what is the SIW equivalent in linux, anyone know of a good one, particularly on cpu [01:28] info [01:28] You cannot just change a partition filesystem cy21 [01:28] That's like trying to convert a female into a true male. [01:28] HollywoodJumper:open a browser, google speedtest, choose one, check it [01:28] JaseX, i don't have an operating system on it... it should be ok [01:28] DasE1 ok [01:28] cy21: Then JaseX is right. Need to offload the files first someplace before you can change the fs since you'll need to change partition type to linux and then format to ext3 or so. Then to copy the files back [01:28] ... Not exactly, you will have to lose all data on it, to change afilesystem requires formatting it. [01:29] cy21 what you want to do cannot be done... by any operating system. [01:29] ok... thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [01:29] Maybe in ten years... but not in these days. [01:29] ten tears [01:29] how can I enabled the compiz effects? [01:30] QUESTION: Im running current version 8.04 and for some reason my amd turion 64 X2 processor laptop is only running on one processor is there a fix? I dont want to change to 64 bit due to package availability compatibility issues, unless i have to. ANYONE know? [01:30] flash48: go to system>properties>appearance, and click the effects tab. [01:31] pirofwil: I run 64 bit fine with no package issues, what programs do you use that suffer this incompatibility? [01:31] pirofwil: The default kernel should be already SMP enabled. Did you install another kernel like -rt or such? [01:31] JaseX: already tried that and it says 'Desktop effects not enabled' [01:31] there should be three options flash48 [01:31] and check the second or bottom option... also make sure your card can do all that. [01:32] jasex I find that predefined package availibility is very poor for 64 bit [01:32] JaseX: I tried them all [01:32] DasE1 4008 kbits downloaded in 44.785 sec 89kbps [01:33] pirofwil: how so... everything I have ever used on 32 bit ubuntu is available to me on 64bit. [01:33] hollywoodjumper, thats slow [01:33] DasE1 yes i know [01:33] flash48: what kind of graphics card? [01:33] don't know, I think is ati [01:34] I get 345 kb/s max except after one thunderstorm they uncapped my DSL temporarily and I was getting almost 1k/kb/s [01:34] I was like "Woot, freedom, time to download some linux distros" [01:34] HollywoodJumper: apps>internet>ktorrent gets you to the torrent app, but with that connection its a long way to a file... [01:34] DasE1 ok thanks [01:35] lol shower [01:35] anyone really good with boot configurations? i have three OS's installed and i cannot for the life of me get them to boot correctly [01:36] DasE1 i recieved a cookie from ktorrents [01:36] does anyone know where I can learn how to make a cd 'cover' like the card stock 'cover' that ubuntu sends their's in?

[01:51] HollywoodJumper, fair enough, probably the same thoughts that went through my head when I first heard of linux, kept thinking bs, that sounds way too good to be true, there's got to be a downside, and there is - it doesn't run windows software lol (well, runs some with emulators/translation layers like wine/dosbox/virtualbox) [01:52] ultra; no [01:52] i dont think so ultra [01:52] ultra: no [01:52] i am having some atp problems [01:52] Would it be safe to change permissions for my leds/asus:mail/brightness control, right now it can only run as root, and i'd like to turn the led on from a mail program.

After following the instructions I can see a list of the routers around me, but I am unable to connect, when I try to connect it just doesn't seem to do it, I don't get any of the green dots or anything, also when I ran dmesg, [02:40] it said: wlan0: authentication with AP 00:40:10:10:00:03 timed out [02:40] how does the free vmware player compare to virtualbox ?

[02:42] just wanted to ask if somebody knows the terminal command to stop Wine [02:42] what should I put in the terminal ? [02:42] wine isnt a running program [02:42] Hmm, nobody knows how to get a wiimote working? [02:42] it runs as u execute a .exe or tell it too [02:42] sorry Riyonku :( [02:43] https://privatepaste.com/acXSmo4FqE [02:43] help [02:43] anyone? [02:43] i was talking to oc80z earlier and he gave me ls -lta > file.txt for creating a .txt file from a list of files in a folder it works gr8 very fast but it gives me way too much info [a lot more thatm just the file name] which is all i want is there anyway i can pare that command down to just get the filename only? [02:43] ok [02:43] you can just do ls > file.txt [02:43] Riyonuk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CWiiD [02:44] oc80z ty it worked very well [02:44] when ubuntu installs, what scripts does it run to configure network devices [02:46] that didn't help at all [02:46] exit [02:46] still doesn't tell me how to get it to work with zsnes :P [02:47] Hello all!! I am considering dumping XP for Ubuntu but I have an adaptec raid controller running my OS, will Ubuntu handle a raid controller for the desktop version? [02:47] of course :) [02:47] !raid [02:47] 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 [02:47] Sweet ty [02:48] VMware is still having a problem. [02:48] ubuntu is still the shit [02:48] Newuser1111: what sort of problem? [02:48] You have to configure RAID as you install ubuntu, you can't do it afterwards... [02:48] Unable to change virtual machine power state: The process exited with an error: [02:48] End of error message. [02:48] Riyonuk: sorry mate, if you want me to pay attention, you will really have to use my name. Try using tab completion for that. BUT, if you do get it working, feel free to add an appendix to the wiki page describing how you got it working with zsnes, for others [02:48] stgove: yes you can. [02:49] will it detect my raid on install or I have to do something? Haven't red the tip for raid yet [02:49] Newuser1111: Is it giving an error about not being able to start vmmon ? [02:49] stgove: but if you're looking to perform raid on the OS hard drive, you're right that you'd lose data. [02:49] Riyonuk: no, don't "feel free", please do! [02:49] Didn't see anything about vmmon. What's vmmon? [02:50] I couldn't figure out how to install RAID unles I did it as i installed it before putting any data on any drives... [02:50] wha :O [02:50] Why is Xen better? [02:50] Looks complicated, I just want to run windows, sheesh >_> [02:50] stgove: if you have a series of separate hard drives, and you are not including the drive your os is on, you use mdadm. [02:50] anyone have experience with USB mic's able to guide me to getting my Logitech A5370 to work? :/ [02:50] mdadm will expand a drive but not RAID it [02:51] stgove: you can software RAID everything with mdadm at most levels. [02:51] but I was putting the OS on the RAID drive, I did RAID1 as I installed ubuntu [02:51] Newuser111: you're using vmware server i assume? is it installed from the download from the vmware website, or from the canonical repository? [02:52] From vmware's site. [02:52] stgove: Yeah, as I say, you'll lose your OS if you want to include the OS drive in the RAID. But if you're just making a data array, mdadm will do it to it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mdadm [02:52] i am a newbie, but had a linux guru with me here for my installs [02:52] newuser111: are you logging in to the vmware server console from the same machine that's running VMware server? [02:52] Yes. [02:52] hello [02:53] I did RAID1 the two drives, as I installed ubuntu to it [02:53] edo32mb: try gstreamer-properties [02:53] tehn did all the updates, etc [02:53] hi all [02:53] hi gabmed [02:53] I found a great howto to help me thru it [02:53] newuser: try this from the terminal and see if it gives you more details..... vmware-cmd /path/to/vmx/file start [02:53] can someone help me with php mail problem?

If you only have two drives, and one will contain the OS, you're right that it has to happen during install. The setups I usually use are ones in which I have a device with twenty hard drives in, and I'm making a RAID appliance. It's just a different way of doing things, and I wanted to make sure you were aware that there are after-install RAID options if your set [02:55] 36gigs each [02:56] my php mail used to work, applications in php like mantis does not report any error, but the mail never arrives [02:56] is chat ok ?

I'm tasked with setting up a few PC's(or a full computer lab) of older computers all running linux.

[02:59] At this point I'm just wondering if ubuntu will recognize it as a hard drive or not [03:00] newuser1111: hmm that's odd... has it worked before? or is this fresh from installation? [03:00] gnight stgove [03:00] danbh_intrepid>> a bug in what, exactly? the alsa drivers, and whatnot? I'm using the alsa-*-1.0.18rc3 [03:00] It hasn't worked before. [03:00] poia [03:00] kris [03:00] unop: that does not work [03:00] Titanus: sometimes it'll recognise the hardware RAID, sometimes not. If it doesn't, you can still let a hardware RAID controller manage the RAID and then use the logical volume manager to present the drives as a single file system. [03:01] ryan__, firefox -new-window yahoo.com [03:01] Titanus: the biggest problem is with onboard RAID on the motherboard; I heard LInus doesn't think it's stable enough, so he ensures it's intentionally ignored. Or some such nonsense. [03:01] Nobody knows :( [03:01] my raid controller is not onboard, it is an adaptec 2120 [03:01] <^Devious^> my exp with raid and linux never used to be that great - having to program the drivers and do a 5 line command just to get red hat 7 to see the drive was a pain [03:01] <^Devious^> lol [03:02] Riyonuk: I've used that before, I just can't remember the name. I found it via the openbox website, though. They have a list of various dock-type applications that are compatible available. Check 'em out. [03:02] <^Devious^> now with ubuntu its much better [03:02] avant? [03:02] or whatever [03:02] RichiH, might be AWN [03:02] Titanus: just try it out! unless there's real data at stake. [03:02] <^Devious^> and howdy all [03:02] unop: thank you soooo much. [03:02] Riyonuk, sorry.. that was for you RichiH, might be AWN [03:02] I've never had issues with RAID on Linux, whether dmraid (aka FakeRAID), mdraid,, mdadm or hardware [03:03] I have the data backed up so it's all good. I'll have to try it and see if it works [03:03] It has not worked before, I have not gotten anything to run on VMware yet(in Ubuntu) [03:03] danbh_intrepid>> okay, somehow my mic volume was reset suddenly. raise the volume and i hear myself in gstreamer-properties [03:03] edo32mb: well, I think its a bug in whatever driver you are selecting in gstreamer-properties. So, if its messing up when you select alsa, then its alsa. But, Im not too sure. Im confused on sound/pulseaudio/alsa in general [03:04] Titanus: This might give you some insights: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/HardyRAID5EncryptedLVM [03:04] i got a game installed and the play file is there but when i click it, all it does is change the resolution to the game's and then quit out [03:04] ty Int! [03:05] hmmm [03:05] Is there any way to get the resolution of a video at the command line? [03:05] not that i know of [03:05] edo32mb: hmmmm,, I ran into a problem where the mic was automatically reducing volume when it was saturating (ie too loud). So, the closer my mouth to the mic, the quieter it got. The only way I could get it louder was to actually back away from the mic [03:05] im pretty new to ubuntu [03:06] danbh_intrepid>> but now i still have that "audio settings are invalid, please correct them in multimedia settings" error when trying to open sound recorder [03:06] i cxan get some games to install but no games can play. is there anything i can do to straight up play windows games? [03:06] edo32mb: so it works in gstreamer-props? and you leave it on the setting that works? [03:07] what? [03:07] ubuntu_loki:? [03:07] how do I know which version of ubuntu I'm running and wether it's 32 or 64bit? [03:07] Riyonuk: uname -a [03:07] which parts of system can I put away? [03:07] uninstall? [03:07] !version | Riyonuk [03:07] ugh, I wish I could press a button and the command thing come up [03:07] Riyonuk: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [03:07] :| [03:08] danbh_intrepid>> yes - gstreamer-props work, and i do leave those settings in place [03:08] i just installed SaurBraten, and when it stats it's just a black screen anyone know why?? [03:08] what is unnecesary? [03:08] Riyonuk, to find out architecture. dpkg --print-architecture [03:08] also happends with Nexuiz [03:08] i386 [03:08] 8.04 [03:08] edo32mb: maybe there are actual multimedia settings in sound recorder that you can adjust, and thats what you need to do, dunno [03:08] so...32? [03:08] Sounds like an OpenGL issue [03:08] Riyonuk, yep [03:08] armyops is open GL [03:09] my php mail used to work, applications in php like mantis does not report any error, but the mail never arrives!

It pops the error up and exits before even loading the rest of the app [03:09] I have my old hd with my home folder and I want to copy the ubuntu files on my new home [03:09] this old article describes the process, but the installed module mentioned is obsolete, and i need help: http://ubuntu-linux-dell-inspiron-9400.blogspot.com/2006/08/sun-jdk131.html [03:09] Also I have VMware Server 1.0.6 build-91891 [03:10] someone knows how to recover all my datas ? [03:10] ben_ what you need to know is wine dosnt emulate everything [03:10] i figured [03:10] it probably crashes because it's not supporetd [03:10] my php mail used to work, applications in php like mantis does not report any error, but the mail never arrives!

[03:10] Ben_ America's army is very nice graphics [03:10] ben_: for halfway modern games you should install windows on your system [03:11] edo32mb: audacity is another option. Its more advanced than sound recorder. Other than trying that, I have no idea. It sounds like a sound recorder bug, but really, what do I know. I really dont [03:11] it's for ubuntu. [03:11] i thought i was sharing windows and ubuntu but i couldnt get back to windows [03:11] wine doesn't just crash because it isn't supported.. it crashes because not enough of its parts are working. [03:11] very nice graphics works on linux/mac/windows [03:11] DasEi I have 8.04 [03:11] yes hardy [03:11] ben_ when "grub loading" hit the key it shows [03:11] right before ubuntu starts if thats the case.

[03:17] gabmed: have you read any available logs to see whether the mail is being received by the mailer? Have you checked into what regularl updates have been pushed down since it broke?

[03:19] gabmed: where does your mailer log to? [03:19] kris: also see man du [03:19] i only wanted to know [03:19] dmsuperman: try out /var/log/messages, that's normally a good place to start. Otherwise, check the other logs in /var/log/ [03:19] whats the command for shutdown ? [03:19] is it shutdown ? [03:19] wchich parts of system can i remove for ANY space [03:19] hey guys, if I delete the gnome panels, how can I restore them?, opening gnome-panel again does nothing [03:19] free [03:20] Xcerca: shutdown, init 6 [03:20] jamesish: I dont know, what is the default logger? [03:20] xcerca: poweroff will cleanly shut it down [03:20] thx [03:20] anyone here running a jabber server? i am looking for recommendation or perhaps a good article to help me choose an implementation [03:20] kris: whats going on?? [03:20] jamesish: Nothing [03:20] are you looking for a smaller distro, kris? [03:20] jamesish: No pulse related entries [03:20] do you have a puny hd? [03:20] gabmed: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=kLI&q=default+logger+ubuntu&btnG=Search [03:20] mojo: ejabberd is pretty good though i mostly winged it [03:20] kris: I can suggest a few commands... sudo apt-get clean for starters [03:20] jamiejackon: maybe [03:21] dmsuperman: have you read the pulse init.d script to see if there's anything in there you're meant to be setting up? [03:21] If restarting the computer doesn't count, then how do I restart VMware? [03:21] danbh : i have no free space on hdd [03:21] h4xx0r: that's the erlang one? not too familiar with it but i can check it out [03:21] kris: yes, but how did that happen? === jetx is now known as jetscreamer [03:21] well restarting the computer would've restarted vmware so we'll count it.. but in case you need it in the future... sudo /etc/init.d/vmware [03:22] danbh: I installed system and patches [03:22] mojo: yeah [03:22] jamesish: I'll take a look [03:22] jamesish: I don't see anything, but I'm not the most informed shell scripter. Do you have hardy? [03:22] and tried to add some other packges [03:22] dmsuperman: as it happens, I do. [03:22] dmsuperman: but I'm running server; it's pulseaudio, you say? [03:22] but I have very small hdd [03:22] about 3 gig [03:22] kris: well, you should probably remove those packages, and run the command I gave ya. Wo, thats small [03:22] So Now I've restarted vmware. [03:23] <^Devious^> Thats odd I just tried sudo apt/dpkg with yahoo mesenger and both wont work [03:23] <^Devious^> even with dependencies [03:23] jamesish: Aye [03:23] <^Devious^> might have to purge it [03:23] jamesish: It's odd, I get no errors, but it just doesn't start. It's not in my running process list, and nothing can connect to it [03:23] i'm install 8.04.1 x64 inside vmware, with XFS inside LVM, and it seems to slow to a crawl during install, during the pre-"Select and install software" phase [03:23] is that likely to be an XFS issue? [03:23] dmsuperman: pretty common for a misconfigured daemon. It takes time to get used to them. [03:23] newuser1111: is this a VM you created, or an appliance you downloaded [03:24] Created it. [03:24] When a website says run the Debian package, what does that mean? [03:24] <^Devious^> brb [03:24] when i run SaurBraten its just a black screen happends with nexiuz too anyone know why? [03:25] ivan: i use xfs inside lvm pretty much every time i install ubuntu, i've not had that issue [03:25] ryan__: It means (or I think means) they offer a ".deb" file, which will automatically install the software you're needing. [03:25] init 6 is restart [03:25] kris, i think you might want a smaller distro. puppylinux comes to mind, or damn small linux, or one of those tiny distros. 3GB is puny [03:25] is there a way to make a program run at start as su ? [03:25] danbh : yes it is [03:25] h4xx0r: thanks, i'll look at my broken vmware [03:25] danbh: i will try the command [03:25] dmsuperman: have you tried pulseaudio -D ? === funkyHat is now known as funkyHat|off [03:25] ryan__: Although there are other options, using ".deb" files is usally the prefered method of installing software on Ubuntu, because it is based on DEBiaian. [03:26] Would it work any better if I downloaded it instead of making it? [03:26] tjay: well when I click on the deb install file it just takes me to some unreadable code. Please Help. [03:26] jamesish: It's running now, but still not accepting connections [03:26] newuser1111: i doubt it [03:27] dmsuperman: That's all the init.d script calls; read the options from man pulseaudio and also read the script again in start-stop-daemon line in pulseaudio to see how the maintainers are using it. [03:27] jamesish: Hrm, nevermind it was just that app [03:27] tjay: here is the link http://eion.robbmob.com/ [03:27] newuser1111: what version of ubuntu are you on? [03:27] 8.04 [03:27] thx [03:27] dmsuperman: so you're doing a little better now? [03:28] jamesish: Odd, pulseaudio -D works now =S [03:28] jamesish: A little, at least I can get it running out of a terminal :P [03:28] dmsuperman: awesome. Read the man page, some useful info in there. [03:28] ryan__: You're trying to install Skype? [03:28] Ubuntu 8.04 i386. [03:28] i laugh at you Newuser1111 [03:29] please help . when i view video full screen its pixelated [03:29] Why? [03:29] Hey I need help [03:29] tjay: trying to install the pidgin skype plugin [03:29] Shoot from the hip, Centinti [03:29] ryan__: hold on a sec, let me check something. [03:29] tjay: having a problem understanding what to do with skype4pidgin.deb on the link that I gave you [03:30] I need help [03:30] !ask | Centinti [03:30] Centinti: 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. :-) [03:30] ryan__: Use the GDebi Package Installer program to install a deb [03:30] Has anyone tried the 2.6.27 kernel on a laptop? [03:30] jamesish: Hrm...it works with pulseaudio -D but not using the init.d script. It appears to be logging somewhere using log_begin_msg. Any idea what that is or where it's written to? [03:30] I have a AMD Turion 64 x2 Mobile processor, do i get the 64 bit desktop version of ubuntu or the regular? [03:30] billstei: ok so just do sudo apt-get GDebi [03:31] ryan__: download the file to your desktop & install it from there. Just double click it. [03:31] newuser1111: try this: sudo chown /home//.vmware/preferences [03:31] you might already have it. Look in the System Tools menu [03:31] i tried command sudo apt-get clean and nothing happend [03:31] where username is your username on the system... and then try starting your VM again === Guest14027 is now known as Brucee [03:31] Centinti: It's a 64 bit cpu. So either will work [03:31] ryan__, billstei: ubuntu-desktop depends on gdebi. It should be installed. [03:31] i need to change default desktop after installing kde on ubuntu... how can i do that? [03:31] What would be better though? [03:31] haxxor: are talking to me? [03:32] u>? [03:32] dmsuperman: it's logging to syslog, which is the default. [03:32] kris: no sorry that was for newuser1111 [03:32] Ok, now what? [03:32] ryan__: also the System Tools menu might have the icon disabled so that you have it but you can't see the icon there [03:32] Centinti: 64 bit install should be fine [03:32] locax: at login select the session to log into [03:32] Ok, I just ordered the CDs [03:32] i still don't know what to do [03:32] newuser1111: try starting the vm again [03:32] can dash handle a regex string comparison like: if [[ "$somevar" != *containsthis* ]] ? [03:32] genii: thanks :) [03:32] Centinti: np [03:33] /usr/bin/vmware-cmd: Could not connect to VM /home/djk/VM/VMware/PC-BSD/PC-BSD.vmx [03:33] (VMControl error -14: Unexpected response from vmware-authd: The process exited with an error: [03:33] End of error message) [03:33] !who > kris [03:33] kris, please see my private message [03:33] jamesish: It's odd, it doesn't log anything there [03:33] jamesish: It should be logging at least a msg saying it tried to stop [03:33] jamesish: But nothing shows up in syslog about it [03:33] Seriously, I love this community so much tjay and others thanks so much. [03:34] newuser1111: let me do some more looking [03:34] yeah, this was my freezing bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/231451 [03:34] Ubuntu bug 231451 in debian-installer "Alternate CD install freeze with encrypted partitions" [Undecided,Confirmed] [03:34] looks like i need intrepid [03:34] hey guys, im trying to remember the name of this system file... it consists of like 6 words on a single line and specifies the order to look for installed stuff [03:34] ryan__: an alternate way to install a deb is from the command line like this: dpkg -i skype4pidgin.deb [03:34] OK. [03:35] billstei: awesome thanks [03:35] any one know here how to fix pixelated video full screen [03:35] ryan__: correction like this: sudo dpkg -i skype4pidgin.deb [03:35] is there a way i can 'overdrive' the volume if i am playing something that was recorded too quietly [03:35] firefox won't load msnbc and a few other sites when konqueror loads fine whats up can't get flash to work in konquror? [03:36] I need help finding a driver for a Sony Vaio Internal Webcam, Model: VGP-VCC6, anyone have any ideas? [03:36] esac: If using pulseaudio, the pavucontrol can do that [03:36] IntuitiveNipple: ill check that out, thanks [03:36] billstei: if you do that command where should you download skyp4pidgin.deb to? Or do you even have to do that? [03:36] tjay: Yes, my r5u870 package :) [03:37] jamesish: Weird. In the default case for that switch inside the script, it should print out a Usage string. I do init.d/pulseaudio blah and it doesn't do anything [03:37] Something's wrong [03:37] IntuitiveNipple: already set to 100% :( [03:37] tjay: https://edge.launchpad.net/~intuitivenipple/+archive?field.name_filter=r5u870&field.status_filter=published [03:37] IntuitiveNipple: SaintYossarian was helping me yesterday, but it stopped, it wouldn't compile. [03:37] ryan__: you just need to be in the same directory with the terminal when you run dpkg [03:37] firefox won't load msnbc and a few other sites while konqueror loads fine whats up can't get flash to work in konqueror? [03:37] i am confused now [03:38] tjay: My DKMS package? what was the failure? [03:38] how do i set gnome as default desktop? [03:38] I will run it again, and PM you the output of the failure, okay? [03:38] ryan__: I just installed that plugin and dpkg worked fine to install it, but in pidgin I do not see the plugin listed. Not sure why (?) [03:38] lucax: what is happening now? [03:38] esac: If you use vlc to play the file, that allows driving the volume way past 100%. [03:39] tjay: sure... was that my DKMS package? [03:39] danbh_intrepid: after ive installed kde on ubuntu... every user i add takes kde as default desktop instead of gnome... [03:40] billstei: hmmmmm... [03:40] lucax: well, there should be an option at login, to choose which is the default. If you want to get rid of kde, I can help with that too [03:40] danbh_intrepid: i want them to have gnome as default, i only installed for my user [03:40] firefox won't load msnbc and a few other sites while konqueror loads fine whats up can't get flash to work in konqueror? [03:40] i don't even remember your nicks [03:40] who was helping me? [03:40] danbh_intrepid: i dont want to get rid of kde, i use it... but other users want gnome... what option in gdm? [03:41] danbh_intrepid: or how do i do it?... i believe im writing gdm settings on /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom [03:41] lucax: Im not sure, but I do remember it popping up at some point. Maybe its just a popup when you select a different environment.. [03:42] danbh_intrepid: did u changed your nickname? [03:42] danbh_intrepid: ill try... [03:42] kris: no [03:42] jamesish: Aha! found it [03:42] jamesish: NO idea why this was there, but there was a line that said test "$PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START" != "1" && exit 0 [03:42] ? [03:42] jamesish: Commented it out, init.d script works fine now :D [03:43] danbh_intrepid: ok so I was talkiing with you could u repeat your command? this with trash route . and what does it do [03:44] Greetings all... [03:44] ryan__: apparently the "plugin" is not so much a plugin as it is a "protocol" and is listed in the Accounts->Add->Basic->Protocol drop down list [03:45] Anything else I can do to try to fix VMware? [03:45] newuser1111: still trying to come up with something for you. i haven't forgotten about you [03:45] hmmm [03:46] PerfectExodus: hello [03:46] Ok. [03:46] newuser1111: ls -l /dev/vmmon [03:46] Newuser1111: They may have further ideas on the subject in #vmware channel [03:47] unop still onboard? === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [03:47] crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 165 2008-09-22 22:22 /dev/vmmon [03:47] question, i compiled alsa successfully and did a sudo make install and rebooted, but its still using the old (ubuntus) version. how do i make it use the new ones? [03:49] newuser1111: damn. i think your best bet might be to try the #vmware channel. if they can help you run a debug you might be able to get a little futher [03:49] unop:made up the rest and now (dared dazuko earlier this day)installed the (so needed) antivir, dazuko is implemented in hardy-kernel , and it found a lot of (win) stuff, mainly using my wine so... installing antivir use the kerneloption of its installer [03:49] thx i get some space [03:49] i got some space thx [03:49] but i dont remember who gave command [03:50] Ok. [03:50] Is there documentation about making Ubuntu load the kernel faster? [03:50] !trash | kris [03:50] kris: 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 [03:51] kris: the command I gave earlier was: sudo apt-get clean [03:51] anybody gotten lirc to control banshee , or any other gnome music player for that matter ? [03:51] danbh_intrepid: it works thanx a lot [03:52] i guess i could use xmms [03:52] I just built HPLIP-2.8.9 from source, But in the install instructions it wants me to run a symlink fix script that is not where it says it would be. Any ideas? [03:52] !preload | PerfectExodus [03:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about preload [03:53] firefox won't load msnbc and a few other sites while konqueror loads fine whats up can't get flash to work in konqueror? [03:53] !preload [03:53] only mages here? [03:54] Has anyone had any luck installing HPLIP? [03:55] whats elisa used for ? [03:55] like windows media center ? [03:55] saintbob: try installing flash onto firefox [03:55] Alright, I'm having a different problem now. Pulseaudio seems to stop working when I log out. The process continues to run, however all sound immediately stops. Why si that? [03:56] question, i compiled alsa successfully and did a sudo make install and rebooted, but its still using the old (ubuntus) version. how do i make it use the new ones? [03:56] tsukasa: try gstreamer-properties [03:56] ThersiT: What's the issue you're having? [03:56] lame, namecheap doesn't give you a year for transferring a domain [03:58] Can anyone reccomend a stable chat-program that supports the Yahoo protocol & allows Webcams? Pidgin doesn't do it, Egika doesn't do it, Gyach doesn't do it . . . any ideas??? [03:58] danbh_intrepid: why would that help me? the correct version isnt loaded according to /proc/asound [03:58] jamesish: I have read on-line that i need the latest ver of HPLIP for this printer I just bought.. [03:59] ThersiT: awesome. Are you having an issue installing HPLIP or are you just nervous? [03:59] but I'm going thru the install instructions and there is a python script they want me to run that is not there. [03:59] hello! [03:59] ThersiT: hplip is available in the ubuntu repositories; should be as simple as sudo apt-get install hplip [04:00] anyone figure out how to prevent video/games from flickering with ati drivers and compiz? [04:00] slaterock: there are video games for linux?:) [04:01] the one in the repositories is too old and dosent support this printer. [04:01] lawlz [04:01] slaterock yea , don't use compiz [04:01] Furthermore, ubuntu-desktop depends on hplip. It should be installed by default. [04:01] Has anyone else here had problems with samba on hardy? say a crossover connection between a windows xp machine and ubuntu hardy machine? samba is acting very random and bugy [04:01] for games atleast [04:01] bah, i loves me the compiz [04:01] me to [04:01] dri2 is what we're waiting for?

[04:16] there are the options detect refresh rate, refresh rate and sync to Vblank that you could play with [04:16] sumo_su, it seemed to help with some windows opening and closing [04:16] I imagine you're looking for libx11-dev - X11 client-side library (development headers), Bernie. [04:17] I am recieving an grub error 17 when ever I try to boot. I booted into the livecd of ubuntu but it does not recognize my ubuntu drive(hda) but it recognizes my window drive (hdb).

[04:20] sumo, its not listed in places [04:20] krish, you need to be specific - run "ifconfig" and see if it's listed there, or find out exactly what model you have from your system specs [04:20] will the installer let me resize the partition and mount my existing /home dir ? [04:21] zack___: better ask someone who knows:) [04:21] hah [04:22] zack___: sorry its over my head and you could do a lot of damage with whatever you do:) [04:22] jamesish: after i ran the make install the printer spit out a test page.

[06:14] zack___: so there are few more options (I don't believe in), like testdisk or trying to rebuild parti-table (use gparted, for exeample do sth with the small unallocated at the end of sda), but I think its.... [06:14] looks like something erased someting vey important to my hd. [06:14] Yeap.

[06:14] yokobr, i was just asking [06:14] if you were [06:15] does firestarter have to be running in order for the firewall to be working? [06:15] zack___: so, is the issue you're dealing with the loss of the partition-table on sda? [06:15] dasei, thanks for you help i really appreciate it [06:15] no Daft_Punk [06:15] zack___: if you're done with that, u can use grub to boot windows [06:15] http://www.pastebin.ca/1203018 alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [06:15] IntuitiveNipple: i think its sdb [06:15] chubs, it seems to install m$ winblows well.. [06:15] boozer_, so if i create a firewall and permissions with firestarter it saves it to the iptables and i dont have to start the program for it to function? [06:16] I heard I could find out here: Why is XMMS not inthe hardy repos [06:16] but i cant create ext3 file system on it. [06:16] What's a good GUI for an alarm program? [06:16]  chull:sounddriver not installed [06:16] intuitive, nothing on the drive is recognized by the live cd its considered unallocated. i believe all the data is still ther ebut i dont think i can get anything off of it [06:16] yokobr, I don't think the ubuntu installer installs windows very well [06:16] sumo_su: the pastebin output shows sda partition table is corrupted; sdb is fine [06:16] yokobr, are you on it now? [06:16] livecd stylin'? [06:16] zack___: OK... do you know how the MBR was lost? did something reformat or is it random corruption? [06:16] chubs, im on xubuntu live cd... but ive tryied a windows xp cd and it installed.. [06:17] try "iptables -L " to see the list of rules and policies before and after you run the firewall [06:17] then i tryed xubuntu again, but no luck. [06:17] intuitive, i reformatted my secondary harddrive and reinstalled xp onto it [06:17] Daft_Punk try "iptables -L " to see the list of rules and policies before and after you run the firewall [06:17] yokobr, but you are on it right now? as in you could pastebin the output of mount [06:18] Ohhh [06:18] dammm [06:18] zack___: as DasEi said, it is worth running testdisk on it, let it analyse the drive - it will likely find the boot-sectors of each of the file-systems, and help you rebuild the partition table so you can access the file-systems again, even if only from the LiveCD [06:18] IntuitiveNipple: oh sure my fault and youre right [06:18] chubs, it installed with reiserfs [06:18] !upgrade [06:18] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [06:18] reiserfs is a murderer ;) [06:18] chubs, wtf is wrong with ext3? [06:18] yokobr, that's a killer filesystem [06:18] intuitive, how would i run test disk? i have all night [06:18] i know [06:18] is there a way to install GD on ubuntu? [06:18] hmm... each drive has a different MBR [06:19] chubs, i didnt meant to install it.. [06:19] zack___: Are you running as LiveCD on that machine right now? [06:19] Does anyone know why is XMMS not inthe hardy repos? [06:19] but its the only one that installs [06:19] zack___: have you tired unplugging that xp drive? [06:19] IntuitiveNipple:like to watch it, if zack___ isnt to shredded now [06:19] though i am doubtful of any progress. i have to reboot into the live cd im in super grub. yes i have unplugged the xp drive and tried booting directly form the ubuntu drive [06:19] yokobr, like i said before, type in mount at the commandline. give me the output [06:20] Q is there a IRC bot that can be installed on ubuntu [06:20] chubs, with no params? [06:20] DasEi: no harm analysing it, and rewriting an experimental partition table is only the first sector, which is corrupt anyhow (but can be backed up first) [06:20] yokobr, none [06:20] ok [06:20] ^paradox^: look at the "split" command. it will do what you want. [06:20] I figured this would be the place to ask this question- What PCI not PCI Express Video Card would you recommend for Ubuntu 8.04. Right now I am on Intel Onboard I believe it is 810 series. ?? Any recomendations? Ati or NVidia? [06:20] zack___: maybe you set the jumpers wrong when you installed the HD [06:20] zack___: start it with the LiveCD and then install testdisk: "sudo apt-get install testdisk" [06:21] heyman12: sudo apt-get install php5-gd [06:21] sumo, the jumpers are right, i havent changed them from when they previously worked [06:21] <^Devious^> ati or nvidia pci card would suit [06:21] are you kidding me frazras [06:21] IntuitiveNipple:prob is neither fstab nor supergrub sees any fs, e2fsck missed, gparted shows nth...so, wish zack.. force and gods sake ... [06:21] that easy [06:21] <^Devious^> depends on what you are trying to do and other factors of your system [06:21] Tomas5786: search in synaptic, you might ind something. :) [06:21] chubs, http://pastebin.com/m68795197 [06:21] prob* [06:21] <^Devious^> you dont want to stick a fx 5500 pci in a pentium 75 with 16 mb ram [06:22] heyman12: thats the only place I ever used GD [06:22] I had a more powerful system with Ati 9700 and Amd 64 but it was stolen and will take some time to get up money to rebuild it.. [06:22] DasEi: I've rebuild disks with much worse problems than this. It is possible, but it does require time and some intelligence applying, and often plenty of manual intervention. [06:22] ^Devious^, find me a motherboard and i'll do it [06:22] just a min [06:22] And this is a PIII 900mhz 512mb memory [06:22] ok. I somehow nuked x and I don't know where to begin. I was trying to configure my network settings (I couldn't see my wireless connection and there was no option to check on it), and the control panel told me I was not allowed to access it. then the computer froze, so I did a hard reboot, only to find x unable to start even in recovery mode. It said something about the x.config file being read-only. Any ideas? I really just want to g [06:23] but no-- AGP found for 100$ Whole system. [06:23] IntuitiveNipple:zack___ : your nerves ? another 30 min of digging ? [06:23] <^Devious^> I have a question - for anyone who would care to answer. What is the most featured CLI based web browserr - capable of utilising java, images etc [06:23] yokobr, pay attention to line 13. sudo umount /dev/sda1 [06:23] then try [06:23] to partition it again [06:23] ok [06:23] oh lawds mights as well attempt it [06:23] <^Devious^> lol I know you could really stick it on a p75 - you have a very similar system to me.... The most youd probably do is a geforce 4 pci or fx5500 - something like that [06:23] Tomas5786: on my feisty box, command "apt-cache search 'irc.*bot' returns a couple dozen matches. [06:23] DasEi: I've spent a week rebuilding a failed RAID array :) [06:23] what is a good samba configuration tool? [06:24] What is the apt-get to upgrade to intrepid? [06:24] intuitive, haha [06:24] I had to disable - the Visual effects just to get it to run without artifacts. [06:24] GF 4 FX5500? [06:24] chubs, it only works with reiserfs.. [06:24] ^Devious^: i use 'elinks' on the cli. no java/javascript, but does just about anything else. [06:24] <^Devious^> nah GF4 440 might do the trick [06:24] <^Devious^> elinks sounds good [06:24] try ext2? [06:25] or any other? [06:25] yokobr [06:25] I found a GF 6600 Pci EVGA [06:25] <^Devious^> And also - is there a way to boot an operating system using a non bootable Sata card (It has no bios or anything) using some kind of linux boot disk - or any method will work ok [06:25] intuitive ok im in the live cd, apt-get install testdisk? [06:25] 256mb would that work well in ubuntu with all effects turned on [06:25] zack___: can you copy stuff from that PC to the 'net ? [06:25] chubs, yeap? [06:25] yokobr, quit the installer. sudo umount /dev/sda1. cfdisk /dev/sda [06:25] zack___ : boot into live, go to the catacombes... [06:25] dasei, lol [06:26] <^Devious^> GF 6600 PCI???? wow.....wouldnt you lose half the Bwidth of the card? [06:26] Yes [06:26] intuitive, ya i can pastebin outputs and such, testdisk isnt a found package though [06:26] what is a good samba configuration tool? [06:26] umount: /dev/sda1.: not found [06:26] umount: cfdisk: not found [06:26] umount: /dev/sda: not mounted [06:26] 256mb though [06:26] sorry for the flood, just 3 lines ;) [06:26] yokobr: run as root [06:27] <^Devious^> well I reckon having 256mb ram is enough for a lot of machines....it depends on what you do with it and how you use ram/disk [06:27] dinx, ive ran as root [06:27] yokobr, those are separate commands, and you should have sudo in front of them. cfdisk /dev/sda is a separate command [06:27] 76$ [06:27] yokobr, if it isn't mounted then cfdisk it [06:27] ^Devious^: "apt-cache search 'www-browser'" will give you a good list to start with, if you want more options. :) [06:27] zack___: I'd like to see that sector 0... can you attach it to a post in the forums, Hardware and Laptops? Do "dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 | gzip >sector0.bin.gz" and attach the gzipped file to a post in the forum [06:27] <^Devious^> I was running win2k on 64mb ram - I reckon youd get effects running ok eventually with a bit of tweaking [06:27] <^Devious^> THANKS NANOTUBE [06:27] chubs, done. [06:27] <^Devious^> that just taught me something new - I've been meaning to learn how to SEARCH apt from CLI [06:28] zack___: I'm wondering if there's a clue in the data in the sector of what has happened, which might give us a clue on how best to repair it [06:28] err can anybody guide me to the openbox irc channel? [06:28] ^Devious^: hehe, yw. :) [06:28] Though Ubuntu works very well with onboard -- with the effects turned off. [06:28] intuitive ok give me a minute or two [06:28] yokobr, done as in you partitioned the reiserfs partition as ext3? [06:28] zack___: ok, give me a poke when you've done it [06:28] It even does MPEG video better at full screen than WinXP did. [06:28] <^Devious^> nano - can you pm me shortly when you can be bothered? thx in adv [06:28] chubs, now wich file system should i choose? [06:29] ^Devious^: here's another tip: your irc client probably has automatic tab-completion of usernames. so if you type in "there" and hit tab, it would autocomplete my name. ;) [06:29] yokobr, ext3 [06:29] <^Devious^> It does tooo thanks [06:29] <^Devious^> thats great [06:29] <^Devious^> therealnanotube: awesome [06:29] <^Devious^> but how does it diff between people? [06:29] ^Devious^: indeed. :) now the posts where you mention my name get nice and highlighted in red. ;) [06:30] cant find it on ckdisk [06:30] ^Devious^: if there's no unique match, it gives you a list. [06:30] * dinx slaps devious :-) [06:30] ^Devious^: try it, if you just type "the", hit tab, see what comes up. :) [06:30] THE GAME comes up [06:30] anyone, help with X? [06:30] i want to compress a file and contents into a .tar.bz2 file. (tar jcvf file.name files_2_compress) but is there a way to target a directory and exclude one of the subdirectories in it from being in the compressed file? [06:31] Jambon: > [06:31] ?* [06:31] chubs, its the default one? [06:31] Q which IRC bot is the best for Ubuntu [06:31] yokobr, just blank it for now, see if the installer can handle it then, alright? [06:31] intuitive, ok new thread posted [06:31] therealnanotube, uberscript for xchat has a nice function of sorting nicks.. autocomplete with the last nick used. [06:32] Is there going to be a 8.10 version this year ? [06:32] dinx: ?? [06:32] intuitive, "hard drive seems to have died" [06:32] of? [06:32] k figured it out anyways . it's irc.ofrc.net [06:32] Jambon: you said something about X [06:32] vampires ẞ http://pastebin.com/m140c27d9 [06:33] DracoZA, are you asking about ubuntu version? [06:33] yes Gun_Smoke [06:33] zack___: Yeah, looking at the file already :) [06:33] dinx: yes. it's borked. any restart, no matter in recovery mode or not, cannot start it. in recovery mode it tells me my x.org config file is read-only [06:33] Gun_Smoke: nice, i'll check it out... but i'm a really fast typist, so i usually type about first 5 chars of name before hitting tab, which gives me a unique match most of the time. heh. [06:33] chubs, the installer still see it as reiserfs (and ive choosed write, and then yes) [06:33] i wanted to try out rt kernel but just ended up with a busted video driver [06:33] DracoZA, 8.10 translates to Oct of 08 so yes. [06:34] not sure what i need to get it back [06:34] zack___:since the 1 tb info of s-grub i also could imagine a hdd-end [06:34] yokobr, restart [06:34] dasei, whats that? [06:34] ok, just a min, so [06:34] <^Devious^> did anyone answer my non bios sata boot question? I was away for a moment [06:34] chubs: whats he trying to do ? convert reiserfs to ext3 ? [06:34] Gun_Smoke wasnt sure with 8.04 being LTS whether that still meant 8.10 will happen, havent seen anything mentioned anywhere it. [06:34] zack___: haha... the MBR is now an NTFS boot-sector, the first sector of an NTFS file-system. [06:34] therealnanotube, yeah same here.. uberscript has a lot of other cool functions. [06:34] zack___:end of life of a hardware component [06:35] DracoZA, look at digg it's all over it. [06:35] intuitive, what the hell can that be fixed? [06:35] Gun_Smoke will do, Tx [06:35] zack___: looks like somehow the drive was file-system formatted... I could do with seeing more sectors. [06:35] DracoZA, and you can peak in #ubuntu+1 [06:35] sweet [06:36] zack___:but on the other hand... you say windows is still running on it ? [06:36] Gun_Smoke: so where do i find this uberscript? [06:36] dasei, the second hard drive has a working windows install [06:36] dinx, yeah [06:36] .msg nickserv IDENTIFY figurethisout [06:36] ........... [06:36] therealnanotube, http://digdilem.org/irc/index.cgi?entry=2130779227 [06:36] zack___:k, gonna be quieter now to let ininipple work [06:36] everyone /clear [06:36] Guitarplayer001: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:36] now. [06:37] what's the kernel version in the current 8.04 installer? [06:37] haha [06:37] Guys... zack__ and me are going into #disk-recovery so we can focus on this... anyone else is free to join us [06:37] Guitarplayer001, lol [06:37] might want to change a pw.. [06:37] maybe [06:38] or maybe i just fooled you all and actually did that on purpose [06:38] Lol [06:38] hehe, only 1259 people have it now. [06:38] Gun_Smoke: tx :) [06:38] nope..... i'm not /that/ stupid i wouldn't actually do that with my real pw for the 4th time Lol. [06:38] I am trying to install a tarball package of digikam. I've d/led the packege, but can't find the "configure" file there. any idea? [06:38] dinx: any ideas? [06:39] therealnanotube, it's easy to install.. extract it and move the I think 4 files to .xchat2 in your home folder [06:39] then restart xchat [06:39] what's the kernel version in the current 8.04 installer? [06:39] 24 i think [06:39] chubs, didnt worked.. [06:40] sysv: 2.6.24 is the base. [06:40]  IntuitiveNipple: can't join there [06:40] Christ, not .26? [06:40] GN all thanks for the help tonight [06:40] Gun_Smoke: too bad there isn't a more comprehensive feature list and stuff... i'm kinda wary of putting it in and getting a whole crapload of options i don't care for. :) [06:40] just as easy to remove. [06:41] chubs, it still saw it as reiserfs [06:42] unop ? [06:42] yokobr, I think you're doing something incorrect here [06:42] DasEi, gutten morgen [06:42] yokobr, will it still install to reiserfs? [06:42] that poor guy [06:43] unop:thanks again for dazuko, see http://pastebin.com/m140c27d9 [06:43] oo [06:44] DasEi, where is this from? [06:44] would it be possible to see my installation and files from an install cd? my x is bored (says the x11 config file is read only and can't do anything about it). [06:44] chubs, im doing it right... the problem is that every time i point to that partition, it mounts it automaticaly, and then it cant format as ext3 file system [06:44] <^Devious^> So does anyone know how I can make a non bootable sata card bootable? Its a VIA type chipset [06:44] unop:scanning one of my """open""" linux machines [06:44] DasEi, ok, but is that a good thing or a bad thing? [06:45] hey could anyone tell me wat this message says?http://paste.ubuntu.com/49578/ i installed apache and started it but gives this message anyone ? [06:45] yokobr, how are you pointing to the partition? the installer should not mount it [06:45] chubs, i have to find a way to make it stay unmounted while i install. [06:45] unop:eerm, that means that some tricky programmers use wine to have win trojans running via wine [06:45] yokobr, that's the default behavior, well during partitioning. it mounts it to install of course [06:45] ^Devious^: try this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=590931 [06:45] <^Devious^> therealnanotube: -- thanks [06:46] yokobr: I would just go get the alternate install cd, because that will most likely work for you [06:46] how come when I play videos in firefox I can't play mp3s at the same time? [06:46] <^Devious^> what does it briefly say? I went over my quota for dloads by 60gb...and Im capped at like 4 - 6 kb/s [06:46] <^Devious^> therealnanotube: [06:46] If i want to share a folder over my network, should i write it to 755? [06:46] DasEi, that makes sense - Wine provides an implementation of the win32 API - so technically, if the API allows for it, a virus should have no problem running. [06:47] ^Devious^: says, in bios, change the sata mode to "raid" instead of ide. [06:47] DasEi, though in most cases, the viruses don't really have the ability to affect the actual linux system - they are contained within the wine environment. [06:47] wow [06:47] unop, DasEi, the API only is the key there. A trojan won't really do anything [06:47] unop:for me its less bad, as its all logged by an outgoing srve,but in times before cause of that (and its also blocking such stuff) I had very often issues in connections [06:47] chubs, i think it will work now [06:48] yokobr, what'd you do? or rather, what were you doing ;)? [06:48] chubs is correct [06:48] chubs, you have to remember that there is a symlink within the wine directory heirarchy that points to / tho - there is a potential for file access into the system. [06:48] unop: also the cmd-line scanner seems to work better/deeper than the win-gui [06:48] unop, if you're running a wine program as root. [06:49] chubs: or a keylogger got your rootpassword... [06:49] chubs, its "copyng" the files on the installer.. but it mounted it anyway.. [06:49] chubs, not all files are owned by root tho - after all / contains /home which contains your homedir and so on [06:49] yokobr, it mounts it to copy the files [06:50] chubs, so it seems to work now.. [06:50] unop: there would have to be a specific implementation of any certain malicious program SPECIFICALLY for wine [06:50] unop, I don't think you're understanding, it won't get beyond .wine to begin with [06:50] <^Devious^> therealnanotube: - interesting thing - My bios has support for booting scsi/network but the sata card itself does not support booting from bios...its not onboard card - and [06:50] it'd have to be written for WINE, not windows [06:50] would someone help me with X. It's very broken and I do not know how to fix it. It just tells me my xorg.config file is read-only [06:50] <^Devious^> therealnanotube: and the card HAS NOT got a bios [06:50] oh, ^5 brandonmpace [06:50] chubs, i don't think you're understanding me - file access is file access, wine or otherwise [06:50] chubs, i had to click on "unmount" on the moment that it prepares to build the file system.. [06:50] :) [06:51] chubs, one more second, and i would have crashed. [06:51] unop,chubs: also in that recent time there where strange facts about suedors and passwd, until i strictly put up an new owner with restrictive rights [06:51] yokobr, well i'm glad you got it working [06:51] ^Devious^: well, then i'm out of clues for now.... [06:51] it worked, but its not the proper thing to do. [06:51] <^Devious^> therealnanotube: so - I would think that there needs to be some kind of driver mashed on a boot disk with linux on the disk - but I wouldnt know where to start making a customised boot disk, or even a boot loader that supports this kind of odd setup....... I've got a card that DOES support bios boot (Promise - Ilove promise cards always have they are so robust and strong) [06:51] chubs, but thank you for the help =D [06:52] chubs, and sorry my poor bad english.. im brazilian as you can see. [06:52] unop,chubs: anyway, becoming offtopic, thanks for advice and hard to wound linux, huuhm [06:52] yokobr, no problem. ot but do you like os mutantes? [06:52] <^Devious^> BRB ALL [06:52] chubs, i was on 2 shows [06:52] unop: it may have file access, but if it was coded for actual windows, it would not know how to run ~wine maliciousprogram [06:52] chubs, just love it. [06:52] yokobr, me too :) [06:52] hey guys is there a way I can use ssh/scp/sftp to download a directory off my server? [06:53] please, I'm desperate ;( [06:53] <|Steve|> Blaenk: scp -r. [06:53] Blaenk: scp with the recursive switch. (details in the man page) [06:53] thanks guys I appreciate it [06:53] unop, well I guess you can worry if you've got your permissions on / as 777 [06:53] can you please please give me a very quick example, scp -r mydir/ once I'm sshed in right? [06:53] chubs, great! i saw them on the van before the show and talked with'em.. .but Rita Lee was not there... she left the band (or was disbanded) a long time ago.. [06:53] what is a good samba configuration tool? [06:54] i cannot reconfigure x.org. it tells me the file is read only. can anyone please help? [06:54] chubs: or after changing a sys-pw the old one still works, to next to the new one, oo [06:54] <|Steve|> Does anyone else have problems using scp to transfer a file larger than 2MB to a computer running ubuntu? The transfer stalls for me. [06:54] Blaenk: Which way depends on what your network topology is on both ends, as some are easier than others. [06:54] <^Devious^> ok guys I have another one I'm curious about - My dlink router doesnt really support port forwarding....its a dog of a router (there is a way to do it, but its way too much to bother) - is there a way I can setup an FTP server on the network using Ubuntu and be able to access it OUTSIDE the network? [06:54] yokobr, that's too bad, but still awesome to see them. anyways good luck with ubuntu [06:54] tonyyarusso: hmm [06:54] brandonmpace, that's not the point - if the wine process has already launched dubious code (the virus) - it has access to files, within wine and as a consequence of the symlink, access to files outside of the ~/.wine heirarchy [06:54] tonyyarusso: but I use scp after I ssh in right? [06:54] hello there [06:55] only pansys uses routers [06:55] <|Steve|> Blaenk: No. Read the man page. [06:55] Blaenk: that's lazy :) but... scp -r username@addressofremoteserver:dierctory directoryonyourlocalmachine/ [06:55] chubs, thank ya.. And another hint : try to listen to "Los Hermanos". Another great brazilian band. [06:55] chubs, it's quite easy to try and delete files recursively, starting at / [06:55] unop: ok but it would still have to know what to look for.... [06:55] Blaenk: Nope - scp is ssh and cp combined into one command. You can do it while in an ssh session, but it amounts to sshing back to the original machine. [06:55] ohhhh I see [06:55] yokobr, will do. [06:55] <^Devious^> how so bunnyto [06:55] I get it now thanks sits and tonyyarusso [06:55] I appreciate it [06:55] Anyone know a program I can use to record videos of my desktop ? [06:55] to post to youtube and things [06:56] brandonmpace, why not? ~/.wine/dosdevices/z:/ points to / .. so a process running under wine, has access to z:\* [06:56] brandan_: recordmydesktop [06:56] brandan_: Istanbul works reasonably well, but the file sizes were still too large for my taste. It's a lot more complicated, but I'd recommend reading Alan Pope's instructions on screencasts.ubuntu.com for some ideas. [06:56] unop: well the only problem you would probably have is a virus that deletes files [06:56] <^Devious^> But how would a virus in wine affect a filesystem that it cannot read? [06:56] that´s my point [06:57]  ^Devious^: depends on your ip, i doubt you have a static from your ip [06:57] <^Devious^> Im not on sides [06:57] brandonmpace, right, and that can be quite a bad thing - because I value my data more than the integrity of the OS [06:57] <^Devious^> but Im curious to know now [06:57] Thank you, I will get and try out both. [06:57] <^Devious^> plus arent most viruses written in assembly or C? [06:57] it is weak [06:57] :-) [06:57] ^Devious^, it can't, really [06:57]  brandonmpace:easily, like e2fs for winxp [06:57] how to move the task bars?? [06:57] HELP how to move the task bars?? [06:58] !patience | bunnyto [06:58] bunnyto: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [06:58] unop ^Devious^ I think i´ll go unleash a virus in a VM using wine and see what happens, one that deletes files. [06:58] ive paid for ubuntu!!! [06:58] haha [06:58] bunnyto: If you've paid for support, you should contact Canonical [06:58] <^Devious^> well it wouldnt work in a VM I know that one myself [06:58] bunnyto: Through which firm? (Hint: You should get support through them, whomever that may be.) [06:59] hateball: (Note that Canonical isn't the only source of support contracts any more.) [06:59] ^Devious^: I have fried a windows VM that way.... [06:59] <^Devious^> It would be a magically very WELL WRITTEN virus to actually infect the Virtual system first and THEN pass through the VM's network to the host and fry it [06:59] tonyyarusso: Alright, didnt know that :) [06:59] ***also needs money, lol [06:59] <^Devious^> Although I reckon the best type of virus would be written in assembly.....It would work the quickest [06:59] wine isn't a VM. the virus will try to access files that it can't or that don't exist [06:59] <^Devious^> like a bullet twisted [07:00] What's a good file system to use on a 750gb drive for storing video files of 700mb - 4.7gb? I was going to use ZFS, but it seems to be a cludge... [07:00] Anyhow... you just drag the bars whereever you like them to be, bunnyto [07:00] I've paid the guy in the store, he sold me a Ubuntu OEM CD for 300$us with Life universal support on #ubuntu , WHERE is my support?? [07:00] ... [07:00] <^Devious^> Support? [07:00] <^Devious^> looks like youre getting it from an IRC channel :D [07:00] i have a laptop and a desktop running ubuntu. i want to remotely log in to my desktop from my laptop. i'm assuming i can use something like ssh, but how do i find out the address up the desktop computer? [07:00] * Realcoolguy smiles hoping bunnyto is joking :D [07:00] <^Devious^> not the store [07:00] ^Devious^: i´m saying that I had no connection between the VM and the host and I fried the xp vm with a virus on purpose, bsod [07:00] <^Devious^> BSOD hey....lovely! [07:01] chipbuddy: Open a terminal window and type ifconfig [07:01] <^Devious^> chipbuddy you can try VNC???? [07:01] CEW_17SMA [07:01] chipbuddy: VNC [07:01] bunnyto, you seriously didn't pay 300 did you? [07:01] <|Steve|> brandonmpace: What sort of keyboard do you have? Most people don't have a ´ key so using ´ for ' is an uncommon typo. [07:01] hi! i just got a new disk, is it ok to use BSD for the label on it? [07:01] I used Istanbul and pressed the Red button to record then pressed it again and it disappeared, Where does it save videos? [07:01] or does that matter [07:01] !vnc | chipbuddy [07:01] chipbuddy: 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 [07:02] zeno, depends if you would like to use the disk on a win32 machine ever? [07:02] unop: nope [07:02] zeno, then you can choose any disklabel [07:02] |Steve|: International [07:02] <^Devious^> Id really like to know how to give my network machines real IP's - ATM im just getting sub network addy's (.0.16, 168.0.5 etc etc [07:02] unop: thanks. also how come XFS isnt in the choices for partition type? Im using it for video music only [07:02] in gparted [07:03] zeno, xfs is purely optional - you'll have to install it from the repos [07:03] Does anyone know where Istanbul puts recorded videos? [07:04] |Steve|: ´ is what I get when I press the apostrophe key [07:04] <|Steve|> brandonmpace: Strange. [07:04] unop: ok thanks doing that. also gparted giving Unable to open /dev/sdc - unrecognised disk label., maybe ill just go with msdos [07:04] brandan_: have you looked inside your /home dir [07:04] zeno, strange [07:05] where can I get kernel-patch-2.6-reiser4 package? [07:05] unop: should i select round to cylinders? [07:05] <|Steve|> brandonmpace: I think I'd remap that. It'd drive me nuts to not have an apostrophe/straight single quote. [07:05] Which file system should I use on my new 750gb drive? I'll be using it to store video files of 650mb up to 4.7gb. I was thinking of using ZFS, but it appears to be a bit of a cludge... [07:05] zeno, if you like, i don't see it give you any advantage. [07:05] Hello all. I am setting Ubuntu up for programming in C/C++. I am getting this linking error: undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0' I am not sure what lib to link with??? [07:05] DrBanzai: ive heard XFS is good for that. im using it for my new drive [07:06] |Steve|: lol well it looks so similar that I don´t mind [07:06] unop: dont know what it even does :) [07:06] <|Steve|> detrix: You're trying to compile c++ with gcc. Use g++. [07:06] DrBanzai, choose a filesystem that is supported widely - in the case, that is ext3 [07:06] IS there a kernel-patch-2.6-reiser4 package? [07:06] I thought gcc would run g++ for me...ok oh well [07:06] thanx [07:06] unop: This won't be a "traveling" drive... [07:06] unop: thanks for all the help. should i run fsck on it? [07:06] <|Steve|> brandonmpace: Doesn't it affect your ability to do things at the command line? [07:06] !find kernel-patch-2.6-reiser4 | Bogus8 [07:06] bogus8: '|' is not a valid distribution [07:07] zeno: I thought I read somewhere NOT to use a journaling fs... [07:07] zeno, errm, you have to create a filesystem first tho [07:07] unop: but the package maintainer for reiser4progs "suggest" that package [07:07] |Steve|: well on this machine I just do basic stuff like internet, etc. So not on this computer. It would on my other one though lol [07:08] DrBanzai, if you don't use a journal - you have little chance of recovery if and when things go wrong [07:08] unop: yeah its formatting it [07:08] unop: Yeah...and now I can't remember why it said not too... [07:08] <^Devious^> what is the QUICKEST file system? [07:08] ^Devious^: depends on what sort of files you have [07:09] ^Devious^, fat12 [07:09] reiser4 seems to be a good choice for me but I can't seem to find a way to mount it :( [07:09] <|Steve|> brandonmpace: Ah. [07:09] Bogus8, Package/file kernel-patch-2.6-reiser4 does not exist in hardy [07:09] Bogus8, it'll lead you to the answer eventually [07:10] unop: what should i put for dump and pass in fstab? [07:10] Bogus8, you could search packages.ubuntu.com [07:10] |Steve| : thanx that was it. [07:10] unop, chubs well, the reiser4progs suggest that package... does someone need to fix that? [07:10] zeno, 0 2 [07:10] <|Steve|> detrix: np [07:10] I was just making another reiser joke [07:10] chubs: I'm still trying to sort out what you meant actually [07:10] Bogus8, maybe, you could file a bug. [07:10] !bug | Bogus8 [07:10] Bogus8: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [07:11] guess I'll do that [07:11] sure would like to be able to just patch the ubuntu kernel vs having to use a generic one :( [07:12] Ok, thanks guys/gals///I'm going to use XFS [07:15] iam getting an error everytime i restart apache server in ubunter server .. could anyt one help me .. this is my error : http://paste.ubuntu.com/49583/ [07:15] <^Devious^> Id really like to play with 2 Os's [07:15] <^Devious^> Amiga os and Mac os [07:15] <^Devious^> I wonder how easy this would be under ubuntu [07:17] ^Devious^; Mac in a VM is not practical [07:17] ^Devious^ Very. All you need is a MacOS CD + basilisk/pearpc app. For amiga you need UAE a Amiga rom file and the amigaOS cd. then youre set to go. [07:17] <^Devious^> ahh but I have amiga 3.9 - I've heard problems with doing that in UAE - speed etc etc ....Ialthough it would be good hey [07:17] <^Devious^> I heard that its one of the best systems for graphics and pure speed [07:18] ^Devious^ works fine over here though. [07:18] A program is asking me to "make" the binary, I am totally lost... I have no idea even where to start. [07:18] <^Devious^> judgen can you pm me shortly? [07:18] does anyone here know about apache? if I have a folder in my home directory that I want to show up in my site, but my htdocs directory is elsewhere, how can I accomplish this? [07:18] ^Devious^: mac in a vm isn´t anything special.... what a surprise.... no seriously is runs slow in a vm [07:18] it* [07:18] ^Devious^ well you are going to emulate the experience, not even close to the same feeling. Also the UAE isnt perfect so expect crashes when multitasking. [07:19] <^Devious^> brandom - feel like pm shortly? [07:19] <^Devious^> interested in both for later project [07:19] unop: works great thanks! would be sort of neat for mv and cp to have a % bar on a separate note [07:19] <^Devious^> I have about 50gb hard disk space to mess with [07:19] <^Devious^> +200 spare if need be but on non boot sata card [07:20] <^Devious^> ive heard with Mac os - that its actually faster on some normal X86 machines!!! [07:20] <^Devious^> than an actual mac - they couldnt explain it [07:20] zeno, you can use something like cpipe to give you a progress bar [07:20] zeno, though, i don't think it'd work with cp or mv [07:21] unop: hmmm what reason would the new drive be slow as hell? [07:22] zeno, what kind of drive is it? [07:22] works fine but ive been copying files for 3 mins and only 43MB used. could be because xfs to ext3? [07:22] can someone help me give user 'bob' access rights to a particular folder called 'test' ? [07:22] please? [07:22] any suggestions for an RSS feed app? [07:23] unop: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148274 [07:23] Blaenk: take a look at chmod --help [07:23] more like 3MB/sec [07:23] Anyone know of an nice minimal WM that iconofies windows when minimized? [07:23] friedtofu: conky!!! or lifearea of course [07:24] judgen: fluxbox or openbox + some panel like pypanel, bmpanel. fbpanel [07:24] zeno, 3MB/Sec - is that what you are getting at the moment? [07:24] judgen: or tint [07:24] unop: yup. could be caues XFS and transferring from ext3? [07:25] has anyone here had an issue with hardy being much slower than gusty? [07:25] my gusty install was so slick, fast, clean, wonderful [07:25] hello everyone [07:25] Blaenk: you could do chmod a+rwx /path/to/test [07:25] but i did a fresh install to hardy...and everything seems sluggish and choppy [07:25] How would this video card run under Ubuntu? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3301409&csid=ITD&body=QA#tabs [07:25] Blaenk: with sudo [07:25] everything from switching desktops in compiz to opening and running programs with alt+2 [07:25] brandonmpace: okay thanks, but I just want to give this particular user access rights, and the folder is already at 777 even [07:25] mikeyfbi: try disabling stuff you dont need through sysvconfig [07:25] EVGA GeForce 6200 Video Card - 256MB DDR2, PCI, DVI, VGA, TV Out, Video Card [07:26] redvamp128: surely it will run, why? [07:26] zeno, hmm, not sure - you could use hdparm on the device and find out what the actual access speed is [07:26] jim_p problem is i'm not sure what i do/do not need ;) how exactly would i do that as well..just sudo sysvconfig in terminal? [07:26] Blaenk: type sudo nautilus navigate to the folder, right click> properties> permissions [07:26] I just want to make sure before I spend 50$ [07:26] brandonmpace: will try that as a last resort as I'm in the terminal right now [07:27] Right now am running -- Intel with all effects turned off. [07:27] do you know the command lin equivalent? [07:27] redvamp128: that would run great [07:27] And am saving up again - to rebuy the same mobo that got stolen. [07:27] can i get rich with ubuntu? [07:28] redvamp128: lol right now i´m running intel GMA X3100 in my laptop with all effects on except for aquarium [07:28] I used to have Amd64 and ATI 9600 [07:28] databridge_, ubuntu is a platform for possibilities - never say never. [07:28] :) [07:28] <|Steve|> Blaenk: If the permissions are 0777, then all users have read, write, and execute privs. [07:28] can anybody help me with pidgen??? [07:28] databridge_: i think not. richer in knowledge, surely [07:28] I had artifacts (mouse drags) with minimal effects [07:28] brandonmpace, Blaenk - never use sudo with graphical applications - use gksudo instead [07:28] Blaenk, gksudo nautilus [07:28] unop: haven't, and will [07:29] |Steve|: well I'm still getting this problem :/ [07:29] anybody know if pidgen has a irc channel [07:29] unop, not like it matters [07:29] i need to know how to get cams to work on it [07:29] unop: Timing buffered disk reads: 216 MB in 3.01 seconds = 71.64 MB/sec [07:29] chubs, it matter a great deal [07:29] Blaenk: might also want to try with -R to make it recursive: sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/fle [07:29] odd.... how do i time writes? [07:29] unop: ok thanks, I just knew that sudo does work with graphical apps too though [07:29] unop, explain please [07:29] <|Steve|> What does gksudo do different from sudo? [07:29] OmgItsAshark: there is a channel names #pidgin [07:29] OmgItsAshark; #pidgin [07:29] hnks [07:29] !gksudo [07:29] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [07:30] The reason why I ask is that I can get a ATI PCI 9550 for 30$ [07:30] zeno, hmm, that's quite slow for SATA - but still doesn't explain 3Mb/S [07:30] But people say ati driver is not really that great [07:30] what does ubuntu different from windows? [07:30] alot of stuff [07:30] zeno, things like RAM capacity and CPU speed have an effect on overall throughput - especially with big files [07:30] unop, so it doesn't matter a great deal, as we said [07:31] unop: i have a fast processor and 4GB ram [07:31] |Steve|: gksudo will prompt you with a window with a box to enter your pass and it is used for gui apps only [07:31] does anyone know how to acesses linux partition on a external hd from windows? [07:31] redvamp128: i have an ati card. and i can use the open source ati drivers with full visual effects... :D [07:31] chubs, you obviously haven't read the link, have you? [07:31] I like the flexibility- I have Xubuntu/Xubuntu/LXDE/KUBUNTU desktop [07:31] unop: and it still writes small files slow too [07:31] unop, I just did [07:31] my gnome desktop went really slow and i don`t know why [07:31] Does anyone know why is XMMS not inthe hardy repos? [07:31] not to mention also have-- Fluxbox installed though - [07:31] !ext3 | Starn_ [07:31] Starn_: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [07:31] chubs, read it again, and thoroughly - we'll discuss anything you don't infer from it [07:31] frazras: xmms is old, use audacious [07:31] !xmms | frazras [07:31] frazras: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [07:31] hi [07:31] does anybody know how to get my windows mobile 6.1 phone to connect to xubuntu so i can teather it to the internet [07:32] when i listen to music or watch movie everything is playing fine but if i change some option or open another one its very slow [07:32] Would the ATI 9550 run all effects? [07:32] unop, there's nothing to discuss and nothing to infer [07:32] so.. can you run photoshop cs3 on wine? [07:33] Though funny thing--- Mpeg videos render better with Ubuntu than WMP11. in fullscreen [07:33] redvamp128: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver === ce-cantik is now known as ce-cantik_ [07:33] slamFIST: yes but there are problems. CS2 runs fine though [07:34] I am not opposed to running closed source drivers. [07:34] why is this command "$xml = trim( file_get_contents($path) )" not working on my local LAMP server ? [07:34] redvamp128: I have never had ANY problems with the OFFICIAL ati driver, I have only owned regular radeons though, not radeon HD. so if it is a regular radeon, you should not have problems [07:35] anybody know of a program that will take place of microsoft synce for my windows 6.1 phone [07:35] My only limit is that this is a Hp Pavillion XT846 with no- AGP- [07:35] but was an easy find for 100$ to replace stolen one... [07:35] chubs, there clearly is - sudo does not run a command as root, it merely changes your EUID to 0 - allowing the process you invoke to the superuser - but sudo does not clear your environment, so it preserves things like your $HOME, $USER, $SHELL, etc variables [07:35] how to move the bottom taskbar to somewhere else?? [07:35] unop, I'm aware. [07:35] Only did one upgrade--- Replaced Celeron 800 with P III 900 [07:36] chubs, - so graphical applications that use these variables to create files, create files that the user does not have access to - leading to unexpected and erroneous results once the app is run as normal user again. gksudo gets around this by resetting the varialbes that matter [07:36] and upped memory to 512mb [07:36] KDE4 runs but runs slow -- and was thinking about the upgrade to render it smoother. [07:36] chubs, a lot of people experience this problem here as a result of inaccurately using sudo with firefox - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201488 [07:36] !restricted [07:36] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [07:37] redvamp128: maybe try e17? [07:37] HELP how to move the bottom taskbar to somewhere else?? [07:37] eyecandy and good on old hardware [07:37] bunnyto: click and drag [07:37] bunnyto: simply click and drag [07:37] I thought the only time you need to run FF with sudo- is when you want to check for updates to firefox. [07:37] thanks [07:37] it was locked [07:38] chubs, now, you should see why it matters and why gksu was written in the first place - and therefore, used appropriately. [07:38] unop, there is no reason to be running firefox with sudo anyways [07:38] redvamp128: no. ff does not need sudo to update it's addons... [07:38] lol [07:38] chubs, try telling that to the flock of users who do so anyway. [07:38] No I mean to use the Check for FF updates [07:38] unop, my point was that the consequences are not as dire as you make them out to be [07:38] cany one .. please hlep me with apache2 server errors when i restartthe server ? [07:38] chubs, which happens to be what we do all the time in here [07:38] addons update just fine without sudo [07:39] Cheeky: what kind of errors? :) [07:39] unop, yes but in certain cases it's a little bit silly [07:39] chubs, the consequences are not dire - but they can be avoided clearly [07:39] chubs, and that's what we aim to do in here - collision-avoidance [07:39] chubs: if it doesnt work -- run it with sudo! Its like kicking the TV! [07:39] Without sudo the "help" check for updates is greyed out. [07:39] unop, understood. I just think the scare tactics can be a bit much [07:40] chubs, it's channel policy [07:40] sh4lindev: http://paste.ubuntu.com/49583/ [07:40] so gksu would enable you to run as su? === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] [07:40] lol you must use gksudo or your pc will spit fire!! lo [07:40] lol [07:40] redvamp128, depends on how it is invoked [07:40] redvamp128: i think gksu is sudo with a gtk popup for your password [07:41] zeno, it can be a front-end for su if used accordingly [07:41] *cough*.. so I updated my system and apon reboot I couldn't log in. This wouldn't be such a huge issue (I have /home and /usr on separate partitions) if [07:41] I would envoke sudo firefox from xterm anyhow [07:41] .. well .. I guess it screwed up my partition table or something [07:41] no need for a popup [07:41] redvamp128, that's silly [07:41] I am running from a live cd (LinuxMint.. a derivative of Hardy) [07:42] sh4lindev: do you know these errors? [07:42] and I can't mount my ntfs drive. It says I need to run checkdisk on the drive with /f and login to windows twice. I can't do this however.. my windows installation has been broken for quite some time because I can't find the cd [07:42] sh4lindev: well, this is quite common - you needn't care about these, it says your server is not able to get his default domain name (i.e. a reverse A DSN record does was not found for translating IP => server name) [07:42] Though will only need to update firefox when they officially release a new update-- and I have seen that others have not had issues with it (usually a month or 2 after the release) [07:42] unop, I believe you, but do you have a link to this policy or is it among the ops/council only? I've read the guidelines before and reread them when you said that, I'm curious [07:42] sh4lindev: i installed apacher 2 php mysql and also .. phpmyadmin [07:43] <|Steve|> So just use su -c? [07:43] however, I have 80 gigs or so of really important material.. I know what you would say, should have backed it up.. but most of it was. I'm just not sure what is backed up and what isn't [07:43] Is there anyway to run a fsck type thing on an ntfs drive? [07:43] Cheeky: well, as i've said, you needn't care about these errors [07:43] hai all... how do i start my wine.i install wine... but i try to install setup.exe.... but i dont know how... ahand plzz [07:43] !wine [07:43] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [07:43] All the data has to be there... I'm just not sure what happened that has made it unreadable [07:43] darkbishop: usually you do "wine setup.exe" [07:44] |Steve|: I remember su -c on fedora 6 lol [07:44] What setup are you trying to run? [07:44] darkbishop: but, yeah... see that wiki page ... [07:44] You can download wine from synaptic [07:44] chubs, I don't think it's documented somewhere - but it doesn't have to be, it's just widely accepted for the interests of a majority of users being supported here. [07:44] Cheeky: they can be removed by changing the configuration files of apache under /etc/apache2/sites-available/default [07:44] sh4lindev: ok .. then how do i know iam running php and my apacjhe om the sever box ? [07:44] wine sucks, use virtualbox [07:44] sh4lindev: do you have a browser? [07:44] darkbishop: you should be able to double click on it.... [07:44] wine can work great... depending on what program you are trying to run [07:44] chubs, but then again, it might be documented - some of the veterans would probably be the people to ask. [07:44] sh4lindev: do you know the IP of your box? [07:44] I would always use wine if it worked for the particular program(s) I was trying to run [07:44] websearch for winetricks [07:45] bunnyto: if don't have a copy of window... then vbox may not be an option... :P [07:45] wine works just fine for certain applications [07:45] How do I install .net on wine? [07:45] I wouldn't want to run an entire install of Windows just to run a single program or two [07:45] use winetricks [07:45] xess: tried mono instead? [07:45] Odd-rationale: win95 is free [07:45] there is also Winedoors [07:45] Bunnyto.. ?.. what? [07:45] xess: run the install.exe [07:45] sh4lindev: if so, try to point your browser to that address, you should see some default screen [07:46] Odd-rationale, mono? [07:46] unop, That's all I was wondering. It seems like sometimes a bit more explanation should be used when using words such as 'never' [07:46] Win95 is not free [07:46] xess: http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page [07:46] http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks === erivera is now known as e1mer [07:46] That is how you install .net on wine [07:46] xess: also, http://www.monodevelop.com/Main_Page [07:46] sh4lindev: iam in the conf file .. and where is it under .. is it : Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ [07:47] unop: formatted to ext3 and getting 10MB/sec :) still no 3GB/sec but acceptable [07:47] Wine-doors can also install .net [07:47] which framework. [07:48] how to recieve files via blutooth [07:48] chubs, i'd bet none of us would like to go into a half-an-hour lecture everytime someone does something that is potentially hazardous - which is why it is documented on a webpage (that you should have read properly - and we wouldn't be having such a long conversation) and a factoid here that directs you to the webpage. [07:48] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3754 but you have to upgrade your wine to 1.1.3 [07:48] synaptic version is 1.0.0 === alksjdaf is now known as arooni [07:49] heya guys. i'm trying to install libpgsql-ruby1.8 version 0.7.9, so an app i have will work right. I'm on hardy, and my attempts at pinning have not worked. how should i proceed? [07:49] sh4lindev: well, better don't care about these, cause changing the configuration might bring other issues. Unless these errors during the server start bring any troubless, keep the configuration files, or read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#servername [07:49] ok thx guys... i got it working [07:49] Cheeky: sorry, see the post above, I put my nick instead of yours :) [07:50] Wine-doors? [07:50] unop, the document you provided as explanation contradicted what you said, and I read it 'properly'. I don't wish to pursue this any further. [07:51] wine takes up so much of my cpu'ss power. [07:51] unop, chubs: enough. [07:51] xess: yeah, it does... :( [07:52] sh4lindev: iamsorry thats kinda advance for me..iam kinda starting out .. iam actyally in mty apache2.conf ..file.i dont see wat your talking about and.. how would i test my php and and my apache .. even though iam getting these errors? [07:52] chubs, fine. this is serious - i wouldn't want to clean up someone's nagging problems because of this sudo thing - no one does, not even you i'd bet - can we just agree that other users should be taught how to do things the right way for their interests? [07:53] Will this mono thing let me run .net apps in wine? [07:53] xess no [07:53] xess: mono does not use wine... [07:53] unop, Yes. [07:53] Will it help me run .net at all? [07:53] xess what version of .net framework do you need? [07:53] Cheeky: your server is running (don't care about the errors). Just put http://[your server's address] into the browser and you should see the default page [07:54] .net 2.0 [07:54] chubs, great. let's leave it at that then. [07:54] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3754 [07:54] See there it explains how to get .net framework to install with wine> [07:54] unop, agreed. [07:54] i did .. and all i see it "it works" [07:55] xess: read this: http://www.mono-project.com/FAQ:_General [07:55] sh4lindev: it says it works..but how about phpmyadmin and php ? coz i installed both ? [07:55] goodnight all [07:55] sh4lindev: well, that's quite advanced stuff and you'll have to know something about how the apache configuration files work [07:56] that link again for xess --- http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3754 [07:56] goodnight all [07:56] redvamp128, So this thing is telling me that I just want to install .net?

[07:58] I need to compile Nvidia from the official drivers, due to requiring CUDA support, and it won't compile due to this problem with the headers [08:00] anyone know why the main menu during install would only show like 10 items, usually it shows 20, its missing all the important options like the disk and partition options? [08:00] dang this place is quiet or having 1200+ people on [08:00] cant talk... compiling =P [08:01] Belboz99, is it a vanilla kernel?

I don't think so, although I suppose I could be wrong [08:04] Belboz99, btw what is CUDA? [08:04] L_inf: go to add/remove and search java [08:05] L_inf: select the latest java plugin and java will automatically be selected as a dependency [08:05] !find kernel.h [08:05] Found: linux-libc-dev [08:05] Belboz99, you will have to install linux-libc-dev [08:06] L_inf, sun-java6-bin [08:06] brandonmpace: should it be sun java 6.0 Browser Plugin? [08:06] Can somebody tell me how to boot my USB HDD on wich is my ubuntu but my bios can't boot USB?

[08:07] to boot with super grub [08:07] Pix_: I think so [08:08] brandonmpace: :( [08:08] hexingu, they are released as soon as one builds it or rather on fixes a bug,so it can be in a sec or in a year too [08:08] hexingu: since patched are made when a flaw is found, updates are made whenever a patch is made. i think they dont have a schedule [08:09] hey guys, anyone who knows how to check a package where is placed in? (e.g. main, universe ...) [08:09] K - thanks.

[09:30] KoN8392: frostwire [09:30] bullgard4: it means display 0 screen 0 on the local system; ':' is a host separator, nothing before it means "local". the 1st '0' means "display 0", the '0' after the dot means "screen 0" (useful when you have more than one monitor) [09:31] brandonmpace: there is no such thing like international layout in there:D [09:31] fl0w: So, while adding yourself to admin, its not the end of the world, but if adding to something else, you would've removed yourself from a lot of stuff (including admin) [09:31] kernando: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=877815 take a look at this [09:31] \open irc.internetnz.net.nz [09:31] Flannel: ah, okey.

[09:39] brandonmpace: i just find it completely appauling, worthless and it breaks stuff [09:39] ah [09:39] its a nice tool i liek it [09:39] remoteCTR1: it works like microsoft's charmap.exe, ive not used it but you should be able to copy / paste from it [09:40] tarelerulz: you can use Amarok to add stuff to an ipod and it should put it where you tell it to [09:40] brandonmpace: ive even had folks in here saying it disabled their left muse click. how retarded is that [09:40] *mouse [09:40] ActionParsnip1: lol never had a problem [09:40] What did [09:40] ActionParsnip1: ah you use that to get characters that are not in your layout i get it, but that is a littlebit of a crutch as this works on my computer at home but i dunno why not here in my workplace...

[09:43] She locked me out! [09:43] Oh there she goes. [09:43] ActionParsnip1: yeah but that is out of that charmap thing, that is way to cumbersome to use in everyday life...

[10:12] what is that [10:12] OdnsRvns: unpack and read the README file inside (usually) [10:12] xlq: the problem is that there seem to be at least 2 and maybe 3 copies of xchat2 and i need to substitute my good one for the other ones [10:12] OdnsRvns: what file do you have? [10:12] Cedega [10:12] xlq: i'll try that ty :) [10:12] OdnsRvns: ok, tar zxvf /path/to/file [10:13] I can't create a Python macro in OpenOffice 2.4 (in Hardy) - the 'create' button is disabled. [10:13] o terminal [10:13] OdnsRvns: will extract it to a folder where the file is [10:13] ActionParsnip1: no, but i used the same cd to install it a few days ago, and it worked, i'll check it [10:13] OdnsRvns: or you can run ark /path/to/file [10:14] I want to rip a cd and transfer the song to the ipod . I want to have the cover art for it so I can tranfer that to the ipod [10:14] !compiling | OdnsRvns [10:14] OdnsRvns: Compiling software from source?

[10:16] ActionParsnip1: IntuitiveNipple: what i just realized by xmodmap -pke is that Alt_R doesn't occur there at all so can this be a X settings problem??? [10:16] i cant remeber the last time i got a questions answered in 5 mins [10:16] brandonmpace: the file is a compressed cedega so he wont be compiling as their is no source for cedega [10:16] ah I see [10:16] so he just needs to run it [10:17] can we lock a folder in ubuntu [10:17] atul: what do you mean by lock? [10:18] !chmod | atul_ [10:18] atul_: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [10:18] it content can be accesed by entering password [10:18] !crypt | atul [10:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about crypt [10:18] oops [10:18] atul: well 8.10 will have encrypted folders...

[10:20] Why does "Search for Files " not find 'places.sqlite' although locate finds 3 files? [10:20] OdnsRvns: try with sudo [10:20] hi all. [10:20] atul: currently you can only crypt whole partitions, see http://luks.endorphin.org/ [10:20] OmgItsAshark: amsn for msn [10:20] i will try tht [10:20] ok whats the sudo [10:20] bullgard4: possibly because a) your locate database is out of date or b) you're searching in the wrong way/wrong place, with "Search for Files" [10:20] !sudo | OdnsRvns [10:20] OdnsRvns: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [10:20] OdnsRvns: gives you root access, try running the installer in terminal with sudo [10:21] I am having trouble installing plugins for firefox (flash,java) i have gone into Synaptic and found the flash-plugin as well as sun-jre, installed them both but when i test the plugins in firefox it still seems not to be installed correctly, any advice? - thanks [10:21] hi [10:21] yea im sorry this is my first week on ubuntu and i love it [10:21] dyllan: you on 64bit or 32bit? [10:21] but the command i dont have down yet [10:21] Hi ActionParsnip1; i am on 32bit [10:21] dyllan: install ubuntu-restricted-extras [10:22] dyllan: yep...jussi01 hit it on the head [10:22] dyllan: ActionParsnip1: sudo apt-get install swf-player [10:23] night all, gonna go to sleep [10:23] 4:23 here lol [10:23] xlq: I disagree. a) If my locate database was ot of date then locate would not find 3 files. b) I am searching the whole file system with "Search for Files". [10:23] dyllan...yeah the flash plug in should work without issues after rebooting your machine. The sun stuff also wants to install the docs, but there are errors. If you let it auto install, you will not see the doc not installed error. use aptitude instead. You should see the error and deal with it accordingly. [10:23] jussi01, ActionParsnip1, remoteCTR1: thanks guys ill give it a go ! [10:23] bullgard4: hmm. Don't know then. [10:23] what would be the terminal command to install the amsn [10:24] dyllan: np [10:24] ok omac, thnx [10:24] remoteCTR1: thats a standalone player [10:24] OmgItsAshark: sudo aptitude install amsn [10:24] dyllan: dont forget to restart firefox after installing ;) [10:24] dyllan: just be aware that remoteCTR1 has given you instructions for installing a standalone flash player [10:24] jussi01: does that extras flashplayer plugin work better with 64bit ubuntu then the swf-player? [10:24] thanks [10:25] Noted. thanks very much ill report back shortly [10:25] xlq: ok, thank you. [10:25] hello [10:25] airtonix: but it also works with firefox? [10:25] I'm trying to install Ubuntu in VMWare Server [10:26] but I get some errors when I try to install VMWare Tools [10:26] remoteCTR1: being a standalone application i wouldnt think so [10:26] does anyone know a HowTo which tells me how to install Ubuntu in VMWare server? [10:26] airtonix: now that is complete news to me-.- [10:27] remoteCTR1: for it to work with firefox it needs to provide a plugin for firefox...afaik standalone binary rarely does that [10:28] remoteCTR1: you can of course choose to 'open file with... -> swf-player'...just as you would a torrent file [10:29] Cybertinus: http://cmsproducer.com/Ubuntu-Linux-Windows-VMware-Server [10:30] using metcity's compositing feature im starting to notice video artifacts across the screen...i've turned it off...and i dont seem to be getting anymore artifacts. [10:31] hello i'm having problem with the wifi interface on asus eee with ubuntu eee, [10:31] i dont have internet connection..how do i install ubuntu and work with it? [10:31] i can connect only with wired connection [10:31] ganesh: you mean you dont have a internet connection when your at home....because your proving it otherwise here & now [10:32] i asked this yesterday but no reply, can you change the font colour of the gnome-panel [10:32] I've heard you can [10:32] Jaffarkelshac: that is controlled via gtk theme properties... [10:32] not sure how [10:33] ActionParsnip1: thnx. I found that link already, but VMWare tools isn't installed there, and I really need that ;) [10:33] Cybertinus: go get it then [10:33] Jaffarkelshac: but if you look in system -> preferences -> appearance.. you will notice that by swithcing between the colour and the controls tabs...that only some themes support the usage of the coour tab to affect the colours of common elements [10:34] thanks for the reply [10:34] hey [10:34] airtonix:i am in cyber cafe now.. i don have net at home...in india majority of computer users dont hav net.. [10:34] is there a way to get windowsmobile 6 to connect to xubuntu so i can teather it to the internet [10:34] Jaffarkelshac: i recommend you install ginspector if you want to work with modifying themes. [10:35] I want to rip a cd have all the meta data on the songs such as artist , album and cover art and the songs to the ipod with all the meta data like artist name ext and the cover art too . What would I need to do that [10:35] thanks airtonix [10:35] ganesh: if your patient you can try the shipit service ubuntu have..takes about 8 weeks i think to get a cd to you [10:35] tarelerulz: you mean like a script to dump the info to a text file? [10:36] ActionParsnip1: yeah, that is what I'm trying to do ;). And that is where I have problems ;) [10:36] ganesh: but then you will also need to investigate the use of apt-mirror or maybe try some trickery with apt-on-cd when you are at the internet cafe [10:36] !vmware | Cybertinus [10:36] Cybertinus: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [10:36] airtonix: i see thanks for the insights... [10:37] well i give in on that ~ thing ActionParsnip1 and IntuitiveNipple thanks guys! [10:37] remoteCTR1: just have a text file with one in there and yu can copy / paste [10:37] for a server, is it safer to use LTS? [10:37] tarelerulz: I sure there are some programs like that in the software section audio/video [10:38] remoteCTR1: It is annoying when things like that don't work [10:38] if i might want a gui [10:38] airtonix:its not the matter of cd... i managed to get dvd version itself..still i cant play any video...it asks for codec, [10:38] ActionParsnip1: ya that is cumbersome but what i shall i do i guess i gotta do it somehow like that... [10:38] ActionParsnip1: http://pastebin.com/d43668b2b <-- these are the errors I get when I try to install VMWare Tools. I've checked, but I have all the packages they mention there [10:38] Fuse_ I mean a program to rip the cd first . Then load the songs onto the ipod . So the ipod would know all the meta data and have the cover art too. amarok get the cover art ,but I have no idea where it put it so I could use gktpod to put the songs on the ipod [10:38] IntuitiveNipple: it definitely is... [10:39] Cybertinus: looks like a success to me [10:39] but other distro like suse, fedora, they come as dvd and it includes almost everything.. [10:39] airtonix: [10:39] ganesh: you can download the packages from packages.ubuntu.com when you work out which ones you need. [10:39] ActionParsnip1: except for the compilation errors in the output.... [10:39] remoteCTR1: I vaguely rememeber when I set it up on Gutsy, I had to take an additional step somewhere, but my mind is blank on what that might have been [10:39] anyone know why a samba share isnt letting people view anything past the first folder?? [10:39] tarelerulz:make sure you have all the covers in amarok and after that just transfer the mp3s with the built functionality [10:40] tarelerulz: (devices) [10:40] if im running XP on a VM under ubuntu, do I need to install an anti-virus program ? [10:40] Man it makes me mad . I used gtkpod found the song I had converted to mp3 and it says it could not add it . could not convert [10:41] Cybertinus: sudo apt-get install vmware-player [10:41] for a server, is it safer to use LTS? if i want a gui? [10:41] Ok guys the installation on 'ubuntu-restricted' helped with java, but flash is still not working, i confirmed this by checking about:plugins, any ideas? Secondly i have a downloaded program that i need to be root to install, sudo is not working, i tried installing konsole but it still does not give me root access? [10:41] i.e. Install LTS then ubuntu-desktop [10:41] IntuitiveNipple: never mind i cant invest hours in that task, but thanks for trying:) === The_Phoenix1 is now known as The_Phoenix [10:41] tarelerulz: yeah the conversion part of amarok doesnt function well [10:41] AlexW: that will give you a gui desktop. they are all "safe" [10:41] tarelerulz: I dident get it to work ether [10:41] airtonix:how ll i know which codecs i need and which library files i need? [10:42] ActionParsnip1: which is the better option then? [10:42] What I did was use other program to convert the song into mp3 and then found it with gtkpod and try to add it to my ipod and it said something about not being able to convert the song . I mean it did not need to convert it in the first place [10:42] dyllan: which browser are you using? [10:42] running XP in a VM under ubuntu, do I still need to run a virus program like AVG ? [10:42] airtonix:why these codecs do not come with cd? [10:43] if i have two xscreens how can i get one to start kde and the other to start xfce? [10:43] ActionParsnip1: I don't want to install VMWare inside Ubuntu. I've got VMWare Server running on Windows server 2003. Inside that VMWare Server I've got Ubuntu installed, and on that Ubuntu I want to install VMWare Tools [10:43] ganesh: the safest way is to make your self a mirror of the ubuntu repos...and take it home...i know you may be laughin since your bandwidth is not terribly great... [10:43] Sk8rdude: Im using Firefox3 [10:44] ganesh: http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror [10:44] dyllan: open up synaptic and search for firefox [10:44] tarelerulz: normally it should work with the amarok script named trankode [10:44] in that list will be the firefox plugin that you want [10:44] transkode* [10:44] just install it from there and it should be fine [10:45] Sk8rdude, ok i will try thnx [10:45] np [10:45] bbl [10:45] dyllan: have you looked at the ubuntu wiki yet? [10:45] C0p3rn1c: , normal in Linux don't seem to happen to me. I mean converting seems to be one of the hardest things in LInux. I have yet to find transcoder that works really good. They all ways seem to fall short [10:45] im just looking at data encryption, is there a better way then using aespipe mkisofs loop-aes-util's ? 256bit seems like low encryption? like ssh uses 4096 or something doesnt it? pleeaze explain [10:45] !flash | dyllan [10:45] dyllan: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [10:46] so does anyone have any ideas about why samba isnt letting people view 2 folders deep? [10:47] I find using add/remove... is better than synaptic when looking for installable applications, I know they are pretty much the same thing, but Add/Remove... seems to work better for applications and synaptic for packages. Synaptic will give u the same thing but Add/Remove only displays the applications that give you a GUI front end. Am I correct in this description? [10:47] how to prevent window from appearing half part in one windows and the other half in other? [10:47] Has anyone ever succeeded in connecting Evolution to a Lotus Domino Server? [10:49] how do you turn off system beeps on errors? [10:49] Sk8rdude: have you considered permissions? [10:49] daedra: i terminal? [10:49] airtonix, go to sound option [10:49] daedra: pull out your system speaker :P [10:49] roxan: ? [10:50] AlexW: its a laptop [10:50] no thanks.

[10:50] lol [10:50] roxan: daedra not me [10:50] permissions for the top folder and everything in it are the same [10:50] I take back all my ill words on Linux. I just converted a song and used amarok to add it to ipod and it did and it add the cover art too . It all so adds cover art to songs on the ipod that are on it and you did not tranfer to it with it [10:51] AlexW: thought roxan meant me... but wasn't sure [10:51] daedra: if you jump into sound prefs you can turn off all those annoying sounds [10:51] daedra, ya [10:51] well I don't have a gui [10:51] what is the best way to change the screen resolution ... was expecting a menu item in the "System" menu [10:51] roxan: so I don't know about these sound options>preference blabla [10:51] daedra: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/26/turning-off-the-system-hardware-beep-linux-tutorial/ [10:51] daedra: google is your friend :P [10:52] daedra: xset b off === joshux_ is now known as joshux [10:52] tarelerulz: the only app i hae found that can convert videos to ipod video format *& move them there * is floola [10:52] daedra: maybe [10:52] firestorm, there should be one [10:52] Flooola is very cool ,but I never got the transcoding to work on it . [10:53] AlexW: thanks that worked` [10:53] roxan: what is it titled? [10:53] firestorm, its titles screen resolution [10:53] im just looking at data encryption, is there a better way then using aespipe mkisofs loop-aes-util's ? 256bit seems like low encryption? like ssh uses 4096 or something doesnt it? pleeaze explain [10:54] tarelerulz: it's fairly close to a itunes clone imo...but idont use itunes at all and only used floola to get videos in ipod format and on the ipod...all my music needs occur in "listen" [10:54] firestorm, try this http://techspalace.blogspot.com/2008/06/screen-and-graphics-in-hardy.html [10:56] roxan: 'screen resolution' works...didn't notice it before :) cheers [10:56] firestorm, cheers [10:56] i have a problem where everytime i reboot i must goto System > Admin > Nvidia Server X settings > and change my hertz from 50 to 76 :s [10:57] airtonix, it seem getting stuff to the ipod format is hard.

[10:58] ya know what i love most about ubuntu [10:58] or do i have to change the network [10:58] tarelerulz: only thing is ...rockbox doesnt do video ... well it does but not as good as the appleos and not easier... [10:58] i bought a new printer [10:59] didnt install a damn driver [10:59] ActionParsnip1, smm281 you can get 3 d acceleration. try googling [10:59] and it works perfectly [10:59] nnull are you root? [10:59] tarelerulz: but everything else about rockbox is pretty much awesome [10:59] airtonix: I have looked up rockbox and the gui don't look that slick compared to the ui on the ipod. That to me is the best thing of the ipod. [10:59] OmgItsAshark: then its very linux friendly [10:59] OmgItsAshark, thats ubuntu for you [10:59] smm281: Some VM hypervisors will accelerate OpenGL, for example Qemu is introducing that [10:59] what is the ibex channel again? [10:59] roxanƺ nope so i need to gksudo it?

[11:00] Hello. I have a CD that has a minimal iso burned on it, yet i would like to install ubuntu. I have the ISO on an external drive but i am not able to burn CD's (no empty cd's). Is this possible to do somehow? [11:00] have nice day [11:00] sm281 if you install guest OS tool you can have lots of resolution [11:00] roxanƺ seems to of worked find out when i reboot cheers [11:00] smm281: Depends on the hypervisor and what video hardware it emulates, and resolutions supported [11:00] im just looking at data encryption, is there a better way then using aespipe mkisofs loop-aes-util's ? 256bit seems like low level encryption? like ssh uses 4096 or something doesn't it? pleeaze explain [11:01] Ya, i'm lost, Im using VirtualBoX OSE [11:01] nnull, you question itself is too tough to emplain :P [11:01] airtonix: I have try looking up media player that are as good as the ipod and not found any. I mean playing videos in more then one format and audio too and most of all the storage [11:01] tarelerulz: rockbox can also display text files many thousands of pages long ... imo all appleos has over rockbox is the skin, its video and its power management [11:01] tarelerulz, i like vlc [11:01] hi, is it possible to use wget as a downloader for apt-get? thx [11:01] roxan: talking in terms of portable players and usage with linux [11:02] roxanƺ :x [11:02] patok: gwget [11:02] how to access hw:0,0 as /dev/dspX ? :) [11:02] !gwget | patok [11:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about gwget [11:02] airtonix, portable? [11:02] Im still amazed at how well XP is running in a VM under ubuntu, other than the screen size I would not no it was a VM [11:02] roxan: portable like an ipod [11:02] airtonix, ipod is a hardware. [11:03] airtonix, its supposed to b e portable. [11:03] airtonix: I mean if I did not need to convert myself at all. that would be great. that is the one thing that is lame about most media players. They do mp3 and mpeg4 and that is pretty much it [11:03] tarelerulz: iriver support ogg vorbis and m3u playlists [11:03] mp3 is not big deal it is easy to convert them ,but video converting sucks. it one did xvid would be great [11:03] tarelerulz a lot of mp3 players and media players are capable of ogg now [11:04] such as meizu mini [11:04] tarelerulz: or you can install rockbox and give your mp3 player some power [11:04] hi ppl [11:04] hey folks, i have a computer which had 256 mb ddr of ram not sure ths side bus speed, but i took it out and replaced it with a 512 ddr 400mhz and i dont feel any improvement. is it because its ddr400?

[11:21] Rotel: if you want that then sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ [11:22] Rotel: that will hammer zeros all along the partition [11:22] i just want a full format and not a quick format as the ubuntu live CD only does [11:23] Why does "Search for Files" not find 'places.sqlite' although locate finds 3 files? "Search for Files" searches the whole file system. [11:23] Rotel: make it ext3 then echo zeros to the partition [11:23] Rotel: I think what you want is mke2fs -j -c -c /dev/hdXX [11:23] bullgard4: maybe its some option. I always use find in command line [11:23] Rotel: that will do a bad block test with slower, read-write testing [11:24] the problem is ive installed ubuntu. then installed and APTonCD update that was made and it crashes with the hard drive having a read error. I can hear it grinding away. so the full format should, i hope, fix that. [11:24] Rotel: sounds like the drive is dying [11:24] great that should help me decide if it needs replacing [11:25] Rotel: you could get the drive tester from the manufacturers site to fully test it [11:25] hello === danopia_ is now known as danopia [11:26] im new to linux and ubuntu [11:26] Rotel: on the ultimatebootcd there are tools from multiple hard drive vendors to test their hardware as well as other great tools, but if you want you can just go to the website of the manufacturer of your drive and get the tester [11:26] and im having the lag problem [11:26] im running ubuntu 8.04 [11:26] Rotel: yes; when the filesystem is created it should mark the bad blocks in the filesystem structure and those parts of the disk should be ignored [11:26] OH. i have that somewhere [11:26] hatem1: wassup?

[11:32] jatt: my solution creates a symbolic link (like shortcut in windows) [11:33] depends, if it's from a folder yeah, but from panel menu it creates a link [11:33] ActionParsnip1: I don't want to use the shell for that but nautilus.

[11:35] jatt: id use it just this once. the other good thing is you can cd into the symlink and it will seamless transport you [11:35] I've rebooted, so I don't think the problem is stale inodes.

I have a doubt though: how do I move/copy the directory in nautilus? I want to be sure I don't move stuff around but only create the shortcut. [11:39] I know drag and drop + some key does the difference. [11:39] ActionParsnip1: multiple ways of acheiving the same task [11:39] case^: indeed [11:39] jatt: test it on a fake folder ....hold both the control and the shift keys while dragging your desired folder to the desired target and you will end up wit ha symlink [11:39] who uses ubuntu as a wireless router [11:39] case^: but seeing as this is text based chat it makes sense to me to give text based solutions (using CLI) [11:40] ActionParsnip1: I understand you reasoning :) [11:40] *your [11:40] yeah describing cli steps in irc is far easier than describing fifty step process with a gui [11:40] its one of the reason microsofts documentation is so huge [11:40] I want more screen l_; [11:40] !paste > hatem1 [11:40] hatem1, please see my private message [11:40] it's mostly images [11:41] I remember years back someone opening terminal and saying "thats your OS" [11:41] in vista i used to be able to do 1440x900, now all i can do is 1280 by 800 [11:41] what gives [11:41] case^: great I tested with the fake folder.

[12:57] ikonia: i don't have gnome installed . openbox . gdm . ubuntu-restricted-extras xorg . firefox. weechat-curses . pcmanfm [12:57] murlidhar: but what did you type to install them [12:58] murlidhar: what commands did you use to install your system [12:58] ikonia: sudo apt-get install [12:58] murlidhar: I'm trying to work out if you have a standard alternative cd install or if you've tried to install your own base system [12:58] aLeSD: i just found what iraf is. you will have to compile it yourself as i see [12:59] ikonia: ok now i understood now . once i boot with alternated cd i press F4 then select "install command line system" [12:59] murlidhar: ok - so its not a standard install [12:59] ikonia: nah [12:59] Hi there, how do i downgrade firefox 3 to firefox 2? firefox wont load any java applets what so ever, i tried removing and resintalling java, but no luck, so this is my last resort [12:59] ikonia: that's why i said base install or command line system installation [13:00] murlidhar: well, the first think I would try is a reboot plane and simple, most common video issues are caused by a device being locked or a memory leak [13:00] (common outside of codec I mean) [13:00] it seems that ubuntu runs better with 1 video card instead of daul sli , why is that [13:00] ikonia: k you mean i should boot once . i did not boot after i installed smplayer [13:00] lacy: sli support in the nvidia drivers is not great [13:00] thanks [13:00] <^Devious^> hey all - does anyone know of a way to get an older PC to boot a big hard disk that it doesnt support? Im adding a laptop 2.5 IDE hard disk in an old Celeron 4/500 system with bucket loads of ram but it wont support anything bigger than 30 GB's or so......Is there some kind of boot disk that might help or utility / workaround that will help? [13:01] murlidhar: I mean you should reboot your machine to clear the memory and reset the hardware [13:01] ^Devious^: update the bios to support it [13:01] <^Devious^> Worst case I can buy a PCI Bootable card off ebay or something that has sata / ide ports..... [13:01] ikonia: k [13:03] ^Devious^ make a 100mb-2gb partition at the start of the drive to contain a /boot partition, once the kernel is loaded it does not matter about the size [13:03] dns53: if it can't see the drive's size the bios geometry will be off [13:03] dns53: the bios sees drives not partitions [13:04] ikonia linux ignores the geometry from the bios and asks the hard drive [13:04] dns53: yes, but if it can't see the disk to boot it..... [13:04] well you could use freedos and syslinux to boot if nothing else works [13:07] SchmittyDoesIt, i'm looking the vlc client on gutsy here. under "computer" i'm supposed to put my mom's ip address?

[13:13] ikonia: no only videos look red not the monitor screen [13:13] murlidhar have you played with the colour profile options at all to attempt to correct this ? [13:13] murlidhar: from within the video players [13:13] ikonia: no [13:14] murlidhar: that would be my next option then [13:14] ikonia: i did once long time back but that was a suicide !!!

[13:35] nikitis: the bluetooth script is probably it [13:35] jeanchauvin: open your bios and look at the options [13:35] jeanchauvin: and for the not booting problem: check your bios, if you CD/DVD gets booted prior your harddisc [13:35] ikonia, that script ran at boot up, but my keyboard wouldn't connect when it did [13:35] mtcage: remove the desktop wall paper in the display options [13:35] jeanchauvin press f2, delete f8 or another combo to get to your bios, this is different from computer to computer [13:35] mtcage: right desktop if you're running gnome [13:35] nikitis: thats fine, I'm asking you to restart it to get more info [13:36] ah yup i got it sorry [13:36] Any other combos?

Did you download the binary from nvidia? [14:37] ? [14:37] jrib yep [14:37] AngelwingedDevil: why didn't you use system -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers? [14:37] bullgard4: basically it doesn't matter. if the monitor is connected to the back of the PC, Ubuntu boots fine and all resolutions are available. Obviously the driver(or whatever) poles the monitor for it's capabilities. I want to set them and have them stay and tell ubuntu to stop trying to get them the next time it boots. [14:37] eitreach: well im only as minimalistic as i have to be, its going to be my lug around computer and i jsut need it to handle internet, word procecessing and that sort of thing and much more importantly, work.

Though I think you'll be satisfied with Xfce. [14:38] nikitis: you run commands in /etc/rc.local. They can be scripts or whatever. Isn't that what you want to do?

[16:04] I have windows and ubuntsu systems [16:05] google earth for windows works well [16:05] amanu: sory, switched away. yes, i have sony vaio laptop with that [16:05] but the google earth for linux is so slowly [16:05] and say what is there in Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device"EndSection [16:05] <^Devious^> any takers for my issue? :) [16:05] ok see above [16:05] can u open /etc/x11/xorg.conf foe me [16:05] i guess is't the problem of my video card drivers [16:06] well it might be problem of driver [16:06] linux drivers does not have all capabilities that windows have [16:06] ham:I too have windows and ubuntsu systems [16:06] and I cant use the 3D desktop [16:06] ham:can i check google earth for u in my system/ [16:06] ham: It relies on the OpenGL video driver. Maybe that is an issue. You CANNOT compare a Linux and Windows installation (that use different binaries) and make assumptions since the programs and libraries are different. [16:06] <^Devious^> some linux drivers work better than the windows ones if you ask me [16:06] for example compressed textures are not supported, so you cannot play doom 3 or new games === user_ is now known as Copper [16:07] pihhan:can u open /etc/x11/xorg.conf foe me [16:07] and say what is there in Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device"EndSection [16:07] pihhan:answer to me [16:07] <^Devious^> Dude - for playing games what are you even doing on Linux - doom 3?

[16:08] How can I remove a driver from my kernel, I think I accidentally installed a bcm43xx which is stopping b43 from working? [16:08] whats the difference between WINE and using a virtual machine? [16:08] yes [16:08] pihhan: no that is true - i didn't see that part of the story :) [16:08] jrib, correct [16:08] laptop HP520 [16:08] <^Devious^> WINE is like an emulation system whereas a VM is an emulation of an actual computer [16:08] lucas__: i google "xkblayout svorak" and got some hits. You need: XkbLayout se and XkbVariant svorak [16:08] ahtmly2k: Wine is a set of windows-compatible libraries to allow Windows 32-bit binaries to run on Linux [16:08] <^Devious^> Wine is pretty much a direct layer on top of linux [16:08] my gnome does not load. from the command line i can launch firefox but only as root. any hints? === sriramoman is now known as geek [16:09] SimoneB: check your permissions [16:09] <^Devious^> Wine also tastes better than a VM [16:09] ahtmly2k: A virtual machine creates the appearance of an entire new PC that you install an operating system into as you would a physical machine [16:09] jrib: well that's an idea, but permissions of what? [16:09] unless VM stands for ViMto [16:09] jrib, I'll try that [16:09] jrib: i said firefox but nothing loads: gnome-panel, nautilus... [16:09] metacity...

[16:10] <^Devious^> as for VM Versus Wine - you may want both.....some people have Wine within a VM........ [16:10] SimoneB: find ~ ! -user $USER [16:10] it then says (initramfs) _ where I can type [16:10] ahtmly2k: Let me also add that getting Windows programs running in WINE can be tricky, but running them under a VM is usually just like on windows [16:10] Hi gang, ran ubuntu via LiveCD successfully on my laptop last night, so I'm one step closer to a full install...i was taking a look at Amarok, and wondered how close it resembled iTunes...will I have access to any podcasts via Amarok, or is it desktop-only? [16:10] ubuntu is nt recognizing the old nic of my desktop [16:10] what to do [16:10] <^Devious^> Letterbomb05: Im curious....what happens if you hit StartX Enter [16:10] Recent Wine improvements since version 1.0 have been very impressive [16:11] /bin/sh: StartX: not found [16:11] But things like iTunes still need a virtual machine to be useful [16:11] IntuitiveNipple: have you correct support of multimedia keyboard in vaio? i have some patch to driver and i am looking where to send that [16:11] I need some getting ubuntu to recognize my laptops internal-USB connected wifi. its a Realtek RTL8187B [16:11] <^Devious^> krish: Is it an ISA card?

I unmounted it with daemon tools lite, I did this with my desktop and it worked fine. [16:13] yes but i heard that virtual machines are still far from perfect... like directx doesnt work well and stuff... why is that? [16:13] IntuitiveNipple: yes i mean that. do you have some work to test? :) [16:13] jrib, didn't work [16:13] <^Devious^> Letterbomb05: oh so youre installing in a VM!?

[16:46] maybe my nick should be newbuntu :) [16:46] pepe_swash: route -n [16:46] when i do sudo apt-get install irc or sudo apt-get install subversion it reports : E: No package found. [16:46] pepe_swash: or ifconfig [16:46] pepe_swash: ip route | grep gateaway === kane_ is now known as kane_school [16:47] Bernie: why i can use compiz function such as 3D desktop? [16:47] temporary folder... where it stores flv files and stuff [16:47] pepe_swash: ip route | grep default [16:47] ubi: you need to enable additional repositories. System > Administration > Software Sources [16:47] why has nautilus suddenly decided to eat up 98% of my cpu time? [16:47] airtonix: Got a directory with thousands of files in it? [16:47] lanoxx, if you do: "apt-get install package" it starts downloading, If you change your mind press Ctrl-C to stop process. After if you decide to continue just do again "apt-get install package" [16:47] desktop wont render [16:47] huitang: hmmm ... not sure. Maybe Compiz uses software 3D accel? ... or maybe 3D works fine but your video card doens't support OpenGL/pbuffers [16:47] IntuitiveNipple: no [16:48] IntuitiveNipple: route -n did the trick. unfortunatly ifconfig does not give the gateway. :s [16:48] erUSUL: thx too [16:48] airtonix: You can kill it, it'll reload: killall nautilus [16:48] milos_, is there a resume option in case i forget what i was installing, and want to continue after a reboot? [16:48] IntuitiveNipple: the amount of files i had in the home folder and the desktop are the same as before when nautilus wasnt taking up 98% of cpu time [16:48] perhaps ubuntu never did these upgrades automatically because when i installed it i hadn't yet entered the wifi information [16:48] how to get my computer support OpenGL/pbuffers? [16:48] <_LiNuX_> hi do you know any program like Virtual Dj... for Linux off course [16:48] can anyone tell me how to enable music plugin in pidgin for showing current track as the status? ? [16:49] is there a way to create a seamless desktop similar to windows for multiple monitors in ubuntu? === tomtom is now known as Guest43210 [16:49] IntuitiveNipple: yrs i did a sudo killall nautilus -9...it reloads and the cpu piggery continues [16:49] airtonix: It does sometimes do that with directories containing a large number of files, but other things can cause it too [16:49] _linux_: i'm not sure, i had considered trying some windows emulator for programs like ableton live [16:49] airtonix: That is weird! [16:49] haven't gotten that far yet [16:49] you might find trackers or cubase-like sequencers [16:49] IntuitiveNipple: as i said...the amount of files hasnt changed....it just decided to behave this way [16:49] <_LiNuX_> :) [16:49] I've seen reference to a command that will add startup scripts for new applications that need to be started at system boot time, but I can't recall what it was. Anyone know what command I'm referring to? [16:50] <_LiNuX_> i have Wine [16:50] airtonix: does it still do that after logging out? [16:50] <_LiNuX_> this suld do the job [16:50] <_LiNuX_> should* [16:50] yeah there's plenty of software if you can run windows apps [16:50] is there a way to create a seamless desktop similar to windows for multiple monitors in ubuntu? [16:50] zanberdo: update-rc.d [16:50] IntuitiveNipple: i imagine it wont but then i loose the chance to understand why its doing this [16:50] IntuitiveNipple: thanks [16:50] Are there any other terminal for ubuntu, like putty? [16:50] where's mozilla firefox's temporary folder...? where it stores flv files and stuff [16:51] bbl! [16:51] airtonix: Does top show the nautilus process eating up memory? or is it only CPU % ? [16:51] IntuitiveNipple: how do i force nautilus to begin a new session? [16:51] airtonix: I saw it once do that... slowly taking more and more RAM [16:51] _LiNuX_: yes u can use wine to run virtual DJ, i have run atomic DJ in ubuntu using wine. [16:51] how to support larger than 1280x1024? [16:51] airtonix: killing the existing processes should be sufficient. Have you tried running it as root (gksudo nautilis) in case it is user-profile related? [16:51] mythu:i too want to use net beans [16:52] how can i? [16:52] i too want to use net beans [16:52] how can i? [16:52] IntuitiveNipple: 10979 airtonix 20 0 402m 340m 17m R 97 16.8 1:39.21 nautilus [16:52] airtonix: That looks reasonable, memory-wise [16:52] IntuitiveNipple: btw i prefer to read top with htop [16:52] can anyone tell me how to enable music plugin in pidgin for showing current track as the status? ? [16:52] ubi: You mean a virtual desktop ? [16:53] indian_munnda, install musictracker plugin [16:53] lanoxx, apt-get doesn't have that functionality but if you forget you can always do: history | grep "apt-get install" and then enter !number of that command [16:53] i too want to use net beans [16:53] IntuitiveNipple: its taking 25% of my memory! usually its only 5% [16:53] airtonix: just different interfaces to the /proc file system [16:53] how to login in java room? [16:53] intuitive: i mean to be able to move windows from one monitor to another [16:53] airtonix: ahhh... is that 340M RSS ? [16:53] airtonix: I read the 17M as RSS I guess it's 17M shared? [16:53] IntuitiveNipple: yeah i have 2gb of ddr [16:53] can somebody help me with ssh [16:54] hog: for pidgin [16:54] ? [16:54] IntuitiveNipple: so its quite a bit more than 340 [16:54] indian_munnda, yes [16:54] airtonix: I'd just log out and try again... sometimes it isn't worth trying to understand unless it happens repeatedly [16:54] hog: yes got it thanx [16:54] IntuitiveNipple: sitting at 37% now and still above 96%cpu [16:55] does someone know how to ssh into a network comp ? [16:55] hog: thank u, thank u very much dude. [16:55] hello there. Can anyone please help me make my mic work? I've alreade switched it on everywhere I could, but it still has no effect: there is no chance of audio recording and skype won't send my voice.

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [16:56] hog: i have one more question dude to the same topic [16:56] airtonix: that is typical when it is stuck trying to read a large directory OR, you've got a looping link in the file-system [16:56] !ssh [16:56] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [16:56] vonderer, the question is have your forgotten to 'umute' the mic setting :) [16:56] why arrow keys are not working in vim ...? [16:57] hog: in which player i have to run the music? [16:57] IntuitiveNipple: loop-linking? as in a symlink that points to another and round and round ? [16:57] i too want to use net beans [16:57] i too want to use net beans [16:57] indian_munnda, it supports many player, show in the "configure" part of the plugin, I used it with Rythimbox [16:57] airtonix: I think it's when things are a bit worse than that, since the FS is supposed to detect circular links. I've found an fsck will fix it - usually [16:57] how do add a dir to the $PATH variable? [16:57] hog: thanks dude [16:57] anyone gotten fingerprint reader working in ubuntu? [16:57] *do i [16:57] avacore_: permanently? [16:58] my compaq nc6320 got that built-in [16:58] IntuitiveNipple, yupp [16:58] i too want to use net beans [16:58] how to login in java room?

[16:59] ok now i'm screwed... i was in the middle of sudo apt-get install update and my laptop shut off... now it says i must run dpkg --configure -a but it says i dont' have privledges [16:59] hog: no, mic's unmuted everywhere [16:59] amanu: have you tried channel #netbeans [16:59] fignuts: prefix the command with sudo [16:59] fignuts, use sudo [16:59] IntuitiveNipple: nope still doing it after logingout [16:59] hog: that's the first thing I've done [16:59] ok [17:00] airtonix: You've got something funny going on then! [17:00] #netbeans [17:00] working :) [17:00] airtonix: Was that nautilus process stopped when you logged out though? [17:00] legend2440:i typed same here but i cant get [17:00] how can i/ [17:00] i need to read the ubuntu book my gf got me so i can understand what's going on [17:00] airtonix: when you log-out, switch to a virtual console (Cltr+Alt+F1) and check [17:00] #netbeans [17:00] IntuitiveNipple: ok previous to this playwright...i was messing with inkscape. [17:00] Hi ... my gnome does not start. It loads the desktop's background image and then stops. From the terminal I can run programs (firefox, gnome-panel...) but just as sudo. Any ideas? [17:01] legend2440:ohhhhhhhh im typing over hereee [17:01] amanu /j #netbeans [17:01] IntuitiveNipple: i loaded up thunar and saw two images there created by inkscape...i deleted them and restart nautilus...all fine now [17:01] ok i got it now [17:01] IntuitiveNipple: go figure? [17:01] fignuts: Any commands you issue that affect the configuration of the system, rather than your user settings, require "super user" privileges. If using the command-line you prefix the command with sudo if using a GUI program you'd prefix it with gksudo [17:02] airtonix: Ahhh.... indexing for thumbnails [17:02] thanks IN [17:02] airtonix: it calls other programs to do the thumbnailing. I've seen inkscape do that before but would never have thought to suggest that to you [17:03] IntuitiveNipple: sounds right, but why would it kack out like that and runaway just over two small images? and i had inkscape shutdown before this funny stuff happend [17:03] now i did sudo apt-get install update again, should there be another command after this? [17:03] sudo apt-get install upgrade [17:03] airtonix: The libinkscape or whatever libraries are, in my experience, not always that bullet-proof. inkscape will sometimes segfault with particular documents [17:04] no, i was wrong. stuff loads also as normal user, but stops gnome from loading completely, how can i fix this? [17:04] IntuitiveNipple: yeah although i like it, i do find it bogs down only after a few non-complex vector drawings [17:04] airtonix: I think it happens if the files aren't correctly written to the disk, or contain something 'unusual' for inkscape [17:04] i mean, "SOMETHING stops gnome from etc.etc." [17:04] http://t-mobileg1.com/pre-order-g1.aspx [17:04] IntuitiveNipple: think i might either a) run fireworks in wine b) find another vector editor [17:04] airtonix: I love using inkscape but I find myself being careful not to get too complex. [17:05] airtonix: Though now I tend to use Google Sketchup (in WINE) to do what I used to do with Inkscape [17:05] IntuitiveNipple: didnt corel release something for linux? [17:06] hi [17:06] ni hao [17:06] ni hao [17:06] airtonix: Corell 11 works well with WINE too === HD is now known as Guest59840 [17:06] ni hao ma?

The damn laptop does this everyonce and while.. Every essid dissapears when usually there is like 30 and I have to reboot to get them to appear.. but I can usually connect manually [17:32] Lanlost: mentioning you were using wifi would of also been helpful previously [17:32] uh.. [17:33] Ok, DHCP worked fine [17:33] I am online again.. [17:33] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [17:33] has anyone successfully made mic work in ubuntu 8.04? [17:33] I mean.. I am using manual connection, but DHCP instead of static IP worked fine [17:33] who use`s a firewall on ubnutu? [17:33] I wonder what could possibly be different between DHCP and my manual settings [17:33] damo: everyone since iptables is the firewall included by deafault [17:33] I used 192.168.1.127, 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.1.1 for IP, netmask and gateway respectively [17:34] damo The firewall is built-in but can be managed with a frontend like firestarter [17:34] ahh realy [17:34] has anyone successfully made mic work in ubuntu 8.04? [17:34] vonderer: no [17:34] vonderer, yeah.. my microphone works fine [17:34] vonderer my mic works perfectly [17:34] how have you made them work? [17:35] I think I am going to fool around with this for a while [17:35] vonderer: mine works fine to, just a bit touchy though [17:35] <^Jimbo^> vonderer: I am trying to get my built in mic working on 8.04 at the moment also. I have just installed 8.04 on my new Dell mini 9.. everything works including webcam.. apart from mic [17:35] I want to switch back to manually setting everything up instead of DHCP.. I must know why it won't work that way. Never know when I might need to connect that way [17:35] vonderer I didn't have to do anything. Just fired up audacity and recorded [17:35] Lanlost: good idea...taken me about 3 years to accumulate the meager knowledge of netowrking i have [17:35] vonderer, Uh.. It just worked for me. It's going to be dependent on a few things.. what soundcard you are using for the most part [17:36] ever since the great war.....my spelling will never recover though lol [17:36] MarcC : please see this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/49739/ [17:36] vonderer, it may be as simple as enabling mic boost. If you have multiple sound cards (one on-board, one PCI add on) that could affect it [17:36] lspci | grep Audio [17:36] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) [17:36] anybudy know how to mount partitions automatically when system starts? I have written a script but I have to type admin password to start mounting. [17:36] Lanlost: there is no mic boost option for me ( [17:37] Lanlost: searched for it everywhere [17:37] Just open up alsa-mixer and screw around with the settings. If you have two sound cards enabled, like I said. Make sure you have selected the right one [17:37] !hdaintel [17:37] For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [17:37] vonderer, ok.. go to your volume control thing [17:37] david2323: Add them as an entry to /etc/fstab - see "man fstab" and "man mount" [17:37] just one, and everything's enabled [17:37] vonderer, see the bot link above [17:37] vonderer, can I message you in a private window? [17:37] it's too hard to see what is going on here [17:38] MarcC : hardy, when i try to use testing hardware program (GUI), my nic was detected by via-rhine [17:38] Lanlost: of course [17:38] Ah, ok. vonderer, follow the link he gave you. It will probably help [17:38] IntuitiveNipple, thanks, I will tray [17:38] thanks, so I'll have to build driver from source? [17:39] MarcC : before hardy, i tried fedora core 3, gutsy [17:41] I backed up my home dir and 'am now reinstalling Ubuntu, is it possible to copy back the dir's for Evolution and restore my email?

Would I setup the email accounts 1st or just copy back in the dirs and start Evolution?

[17:48] theoby: Are you using Ubuntu Hardy? [17:48] _bright_: yup, many reports of the Hardy kernel running hot. So I installed the Intrepid kernel and it run cool just as XP does. There has been suggestions that the 2.6.27 kernel may help with this issue [17:48] le_mischa, i manually downloaded it from the website. i got the tar.bz2 file. how do i install it through the terminal [17:48] !kernel | mod_cure [17:48] mod_cure: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [17:49] theoby: what did you download ?

[19:41] zni1: anything in proc reports a 0 filesize because it's all dynamic information read in realtime. it's a virtual filesystem (procfs) [19:41] slashzul: in compiz or just regular metacity? [19:41] slashzul, right click on the desktop icons in botton right of screen [19:41] zni1: but most of the time, if you cat a file there, it'll give you info [19:42] sladen: right-click the workspace icon bottom-right of the screen, choose properties [19:42] slashzul, if you have compiz manager you can also specify it there [19:42] Where are the screen resolution settings stored when they are modified by the program gnome-display-properties ?

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.

I'm getting out of memory errors recently when using maxima and some other memory-intensive software. Why won't it use the swap instead of crashing? [19:45] gener: i use it too, some people want something lighter so use vlc or even mplayer at the command line [19:45] By the way, how is exaile's developement going ? [19:45] LifesaGarden: any good? [19:46] nope [19:46] LifesaGarden: if it makes it better then remove the old folder (which you renamed) [19:46] bah [19:46] same apeparance [19:46] hi - does anyone run ubuntu in vmware?

[19:54] Alyxander: how do you mean? [19:54] ActionParsnip, I'm guessing I was to get a url but I've got a blank page now [19:54] Gallez, mount is the command you use on linux to mount external partitions to your filesystem. In windows, it's implicitely done when Windows recognises the filesystem [19:55] monster64: did you compile it? [19:55] even though its set up and phpinfo shows that its active? [19:55] yeah [19:55] Gallez, if you can see but not use a NTFS partition, you should mount it as a ntfs-3g partition === HD is now known as Guest14807 [19:55] monster64: id read the readme that you compiled it with and check its all ok [19:55] hello guys [19:55] ActionParsnip: its said that evolution and pigin can share contacts how do i set that up?

[19:56] ActionParsnip, http://img264.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotgz2.png [19:56] Gallez, for this, you need to know the HDD name of your NTFS partition : "sudo fdisk -l" can help you to find it. Then, you can use "sudo mount /dev/sdXX (or hdXX, replace XX to what you need) /media/NAME" (make sure you created the NAME directory : "sudo mkdir /media/NAME" - replace NAME as you want).

[20:21] Kris__: try reducing enabled devices in bios [20:21] Kris__: Can you boot that CD in another system? [20:21] sacrebleu, create the directory /media/Windowz ("sudo mkdir /media/Windowz") then mount it on it "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/Windowz -t ntfs-3G -o force" [20:21] !mysql | sculpt [20:21] sculpt: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [20:22] hi [20:22] grim76__, this isnt the first ubuntu cd its happened with. i tried both the alternate installer and desktop cd. the alternate installer finished fine with the install. [20:22] hi sebastian_ [20:22] ActionParsnip, disable what in the bios? [20:22] My boot hangs when it reaches the line "uniform cd-rom driver revision" [20:22] so i'm trying to learn about SSH... I don't "need" putty to SSH do I? [20:22] Kris__: stuff like sound cards and network devices etc [20:22] what's wrong with my system? [20:22] Kris__: OK did the install not work then when you were done with the alt-install disc? [20:23] some one can help me configuring apache2 [20:23] Kris__: just until you get installed [20:23] Kris__: you could also install with noacpi option [20:23] Ok, my external monitor cuts out at random, and very inconvenient intervals. Is there any way to fix this? [20:23] Mr_Fixit: putty lets you ssh from a windows machine - it's one of the better clients if you need to do that [20:23] ActionParsnip, it is installed fine with the alternate installer. it just gets stuck at the loading screen now. [20:23] Debian! [20:23] <3 [20:23] How does one go about changing the default permissions used by adduser for the user's home folder? [20:23] It defaults to letting other people read their home folder ... [20:24] Kris__: well its not now, which is the important thing [20:24] grim76__, it did finish installing with the alt-installer [20:24] hi every one [20:24] bah, decided I didn't want it anyway. it's too involved for me. [20:24] i like to change ownership of same files but i cant [20:24] ActionParsnip, thanks for your help though [20:24] ubuntu_, use sudo [20:24] how [20:25] ubuntu__: man chown [20:25] ubuntu_, sudo chown myuser:mygroup file [20:25] is the Live CD the same as the install CD? Or is it a separate download? If it's a separate download, I can't find it. [20:25] ubuntu_: sudo chmod XXX /path/to/file [20:25] Kris__: try what ActionParsnip suggested I have had to use that switch before to get a system to boot correctly. [20:25] when i try to make the eggdrop i get a new error: http://opt1k.pastebin.com/d1e538274 [20:25] any help? [20:25] hi, ubuntu doesn't correctly determine my native display resolution at plug&play, and it doesn't save my settings when I set it to "LCD 1024x768" in gtk-displayconfig, what can I do about that? [20:25] can you tell my every thing with details because i am new user [20:25] IdahoEv the live cd has the installer on it too [20:26] grim76__, do i need to always use that boot option? does it disable something important? [20:26] Who do I talk to about displayconfig? [20:26] Stathol: See "man adduser" FILES section [20:26] ubuntu__: you need to look at how ubuntu handles permissions, it far too complex to divulge in irc [20:26] lch, if your card is a nvidia one, i would recommand you to install your drivers (see ubuntu doc for how to do it safely), and then use the nvidia-settings software for setting my screen res [20:26] ActionParsnip: Because I'm trying to recover a system with the CD, but I can't get to a command line (can't mount the HD), so I'm wondering if I'm using the wrong CD. I thought a live CD would boot even without an HD [20:26] Hy, does someone have an idea why my network interfaces don't have inet6 adresses any more? [20:26] Kris__: Nah should not cause any issue. You can add it permanently and any kernel you install past that point should have that added to it as well. [20:26] lch, nvidia-settings recognises more screens and resolutions than ubuntu [20:26] rabidsnail: here, ask away and someone will hopefully help [20:27] IdahoEv: indeed as its cd based and will use your ram as a ram drive [20:27] lch, you can also google about "screen resolution xorg.conf" ;) [20:27] grim76__, to make it permenant, its got to go after #defoptions= [20:27] grim76__, brb, gonna try it [20:27] what does noacpi do? [20:27] I believe that I have only an onboard intel 815 graphics chip, but Ubuntu doesn't seem to automatically use this, either [20:27] Kris__: disables advanced power options [20:27] are there special drivers for this one? [20:28] !acpi | Kris__ [20:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi [20:28] My display settings are currently at the lowres failsafe (vesa driver, etc). When I tell displayconfig to switch my driver to nv and increase my resolution, and click ok, no changes are made. [20:28] ActionParsnip: So the ubuntu docs page about the live CD says it's a "special version" but when I click the download link it just sends me to the regular installer download page. This is why I'm confused ... I can't tell if what I have is the "live cd" or not [20:28] !acpi [20:28] Kris__: disable Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, doesn't use the ACPI structures or GPE handler, or DSDT [20:28] !ACPI [20:28] !noacpi [20:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about noacpi [20:28] IdahoEv: if your cd iso is not "alternative" or "server" its the live one [20:28] rabidsnail: what graphics card do you have? [20:29] Hello. How do I tell what service is listening on a specific port? [20:29] IdahoEv: The LiveCD runs from the CD and RAM, and has the installer icon in its desktop [20:29] well... i get this error when trying to compile eggdrop: http://opt1k.pastebin.com/d1e538274 , any idea what i'm missing? [20:29] ActionParsnip: that's probably my problem, i got the server version (because the box is a server). So I need the desktop edition to boot as a Live CD? [20:29] ActionParsnip: nvidia geforce 8400 gs [20:29] rabidsnail: you need to use nvidia driver instead of nv but you'll need to install the driver first [20:29] Kris__: Yes adding it to that line will apply it to future updates. However, I thought there was another place you needed to put it for it to work with the kernel you have now. Let me check. [20:29] !nvidia | rabidsnail [20:29] rabidsnail: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:29] IdahoEv: Yes, you do. [20:29] are there any good tools for monitor cpu/hardrive/memory/video card temps/etc? [20:29] krim_: You and to add it to the end of the Kernel line. [20:29] IntuitiveNipple: thanks. It doesn't actually say this on the download page anywhere. [20:30] IdahoEv: theres no real benefit of the server edition over the desktop, you can make both act the same as each other [20:30] IdahoEv: I think people get so used to the subject they don't see the hidden assumptions in the docs, sometimes [20:30] action [20:30] <`danny> does anyone know the address for undernet, I tried IRC.undernet.com [20:30] st3ph: yo] [20:31] i got a prob my ubuntu gnome all is deleted [20:31] ActionParsnip: I already have nvidia-glx-new installed [20:31] st3ph, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [20:31] and start again [20:31] IntuitiveNipple: Yeah, the Live CD page says "it's a special version", but then sends you to the download page which has three versions: desktop, server, and special ... and it doesn't identify any of those as being Live CD. So it's very confusing if you don't already know. [20:31] danny, try irc.undernet.org [20:31] my terminal too [20:31] `danny: http://www.undernet.org/servers.php [20:31] `danny, irc.undernet.org [20:31] IdahoEv: yeah, "Desktop" is the one ! [20:31] <`danny> thanks Xomp [20:31] st3ph, and you can do ctrl alt F1 and you have a termina [20:32] rabidsnail: then set the driver to nvidia and set some resolutions in the screen section [20:32] too late [20:32] Ok, my external monitor cuts out at random, and very inconvenient intervals. Is there any way to fix this? [20:32] rabidsnail: here's mine. I run at 1024x768 [20:32] i wasnt able to reinstall ubuntu under windows [20:32] rabidsnail: http://pastebin.com/f7adb44d2 [20:32] now i installed ubuntu complete [20:33] mwahahaha! I fixed my wireless internet! [20:33] nkei0: sweet [20:33] !cookie [20:33] Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [20:33] !cookie | sidi [20:33] SiDi, please see my private message [20:34] YAY i got a cookie [20:34] rabidsnail: you ned to set resolutions and refresh rates or the driver doesnt kick in [20:34] ActionParsnip: It's funny, everyone always said it was pointless trying to get the led to turn on because it doesn't mean that you're wireless would start working... But with my Acer, apparently the wireless won't turn on unless the led is getting power! [20:34] !cookie [20:34] Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [20:34] hello all [20:34] i need your help [20:35] What with? [20:35] thanks [20:35] so...last week i buy a new pc [20:35] dell inspiron 350s [20:35] pentium 1.8 ghz dual core [20:35] 3 ram [20:35] 250 hdd [20:36] nkei0: acer is a pain to get wifi going as it needs a stupid aceracpi module [20:36] !enter | chanfle [20:36] chanfle: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:36] chanfle: Yes, and. [20:36] ... [20:36] ok [20:36] does anyone know how to make gedit like vim? [20:36] ActionParsnip: It actually worked out of the box, it's when I applied the system updates that it stopped working. I have ACPI disabled though, as my display freezes if it isn't. [20:36] pen: in what way? [20:37] nkei0: well whatever makes it work ;) [20:37] ActionParsnip, ofcourse you know what I'm talking about [20:37] ActionParsnip, like the key and stuff [20:38] I wonder why it is that ACPI makes 110% of all linux OSes completely freak out in some configurations? [20:38] I do have one problem though... I'm getting like 0 lag in here, but I can barely or not at all open google.com or any other website in mozilla. I've also downloaded konqueror and it has the same problem. But when I go to download new packages and stuff I get almost 600kb a sec. [20:38] pen: key? [20:38] xomp: Usually because the manufacturer's ACPI tables (like DSDT) are broken... don't meet the ACPI specification, but in Windows, they program around the faults rather than fix them [20:38] pen: please try and be specific [20:39] ActionParsnip, I mean shortkeys [20:39] i install ubuntu 8.04, with my account my desktop effects work 100%, but i create another account and the 2 user not work the desktop effects, appear "Desktop effects could not be enable"....how i can fix this??? [20:39] pen: please don't assume that anyone has a clue as to what you're talking about. [20:39] anyone know why a perl script is running very slowly on my server compared to a server with the same specs? [20:39] nkei0: That's a name resolving issue, DNS... check the name servers being assigned to the network interface [20:40] Gnea, then I ask ppl who have used vim tell me if it's possible to have gedit act like vim [20:40] pem: http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/KeyboardShortcuts [20:40] IntuitiveNipple: How do I manage that? I'm still a newbie. [20:40] pen: why not just install vim-gtk?

Too bad! lulz [20:44] That desktop icons not being aligned really pisses me off [20:44] xomp: right-click the desktop, choose "Keep Aligned" [20:45] Is there any way to un-do an over-write?

[21:25] and format to ext3 [21:25] Can i have different nvidia driver setups? (I have multiple kernels) [21:25] <_Zeus_> don't think so [21:25] Firefox 3 segfaults on playing flash movies. A full reinstall of FF and flashplugin-nonfree didnt solve the problem. does someone know anything to try next to solve this problem? [21:25] Hello i just downloaded cross over i need help installingit [21:25] skyleach: http://pastebin.com/m61d024bd [21:25] drhe|lap: When you run the installer on the LiveCD, it will have an option to use all available free space. [21:25] i guess people don't really watch dvds in ubuntu [21:26] IntuitiveNipple, i think when i done that. it only was showing me the free space on the windows partition. and not the raw space. [21:26] whats your prob robert [21:26] i do robert__ [21:26] drhe|lap: You should choose manual partition, then [21:26] ok, your cause wasn't a full /boot partition at least. [21:26] Mr_Fixit, do you know how to fix the Unable to open 'dvd:///dev/scd0' error i get in vlc? [21:26] few more moments, brb [21:27] robert__: does /dev/scd0 exist? Can other media apps open it? [21:27] IntuitiveNipple, okay. im booting up live ubuntu now. [21:27] Can any one help on installing crossover i am nut to the commands for terminal === rux_ is now known as nerf [21:27] ok mate, take your time [21:27] hmm.. sounds like a mounting problem... but not something i can help with. sorry [21:27] drhejlap: i always use gparted from the liveCD, and then use the partitions i created earlier in the install [21:27] i try to play the dvd and i get the error message [21:27] Hi. What is the channel name for the upcoming Ubuntu 8.10? [21:27] Trijntje, can i msg you? [21:28] monoimoi, I do not know what caused the issue on your system, but this discussion does provide the workaround. [21:28] I think something killed apt mid-update, and at this point you are going to have to fix it by hand. [21:28] drhe|lap yes [21:28] http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Ubuntu/2008-06/msg00483.html [21:28] after I install sun java jdk from package manager, where is my path to jdk? [21:28] will try it out and let you know mate, thank you very much [21:29] monoimoi, you will have to manually remove the postrm packages as described towards the bottom of that post. [21:29] ok [21:29] Does anyone know the channel name for Ubuntu beta? [21:29] monoimoi, np, good luck [21:29] biouser: System / preferencnes thats where mine is [21:29] hey, does anyone know why apache is handling requests one after one, say a second between each request? [21:29] on another server, i saw it go through 100 requests from a perl script pretty much instantly [21:29] monoimoi: SkyLeach sudo dpkg --audit might help [21:30] the bett is called intrepid ibex [21:30] Has anyone here tried Ubuntu 8.10 yet?

[21:32] crossove [21:32] over8 [21:32] lol [21:32] what is the file type? [21:32] sh [21:32] tar.gz file ? [21:32] i don't know then [21:33] so.... i have virtual box... and usb's are not working...it's available in configuration but not when i start the machine... it's disabled (all usb's) [21:33] Olibb: "sh filename.sh" maybe? or "sudo sh filename.sh"? [21:33] hello all [21:33] hi, SaaM [21:33] hi lolmac [21:33] I am having difficulties getting testdisk. all the files a bz2 and my shell doesn't like them and stops with errors [21:33] i need some help [21:34] that's why i came here [21:34] .sh usually means shell script. the file can be executed by typing ./filename.sh [21:34] SaaM what do you need ? :) [21:34] thans [21:34] man my mic can't work i don't know why i m new user or linux [21:34] i don't know much more about linux [21:34] i install it yeasterday [21:34] OdnsRvns: first make it executable: sudo chmod A+x [21:35] OdnsRvns: Then execute it: sudo ./ [21:35] IntuitiveNipple: no need for that. sh will run a shell script whether it's executable or not [21:35] Sudo make me a sandwixh [21:35] what is difference between ext2 and ext3. what should i choose to install to? [21:35] dooglus: good point. [21:35] ext3 is a journaled file system [21:35] drhe|lap: ext3 is journalled. that's the difference. it doesn't crash so much if you have a power cut [21:35] can u ppl plz help me :'( [21:36] journaled file system.? so that is only advantage. what should i use? [21:36] Ext3 [21:36] in the ls output, where it lists teh file permissions, what does a + at the end indicate? [21:36] drhe|lap: use ext3. the journal is worth having [21:36] unless you are on a very old comp [21:36] drhe|lap: By default only the ext3 metadata is journalled though [21:36] the -a lists all files hidden too [21:36] wasted all that time. testdisk is on apt-get [21:36] this pc is a 2800+ amd with like 712mb ram. should i use ext3? [21:37] yes [21:37] cool. [21:37] drhe|lap: To journal the file data too, you'd need to set the file-system option data=ordered [21:37] plz guys i need help [21:37] plz help me :( [21:37] Sure if you stop spamming :) [21:37] !ask | SaaM [21:37] SaaM: 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. :-) [21:37] IntuitiveNipple, where do i set that option at? [21:37] I have a question. Why would my computer not be mounting my flash drive anymore? (This started when I installed "Live USB Installer") [21:37] i love linux but my mic can't work "( [21:37] Yea no luck on the instal [21:37] ok thanks ubottu [21:38] drhe|lap: when creating the file-system with mkfs - see the man-pages for all options [21:38] SaaM what soundcard do you have ? [21:38] Awsoonn: " For a file with an extended access control list, a `+' character is listed" [21:38] intel builtin sigmatel [21:38] $ sh install-crossover-games-pre7.1.sh thats what they told me todo to install it but it doesnt work [21:38] SaaM Double click on the volume icon on the panel.Then Edit>Preferences.Then make sure you have selected Microphone,Mic boost,Capture.Once you do this you can find new capture tab in the volume control panel.Here, make sure nothing is muted(no red x on microphone icon).In options tab make sure you selected Microphone as input source. [21:39] says comand not found [21:39] IntuitiveNipple, creating it with mkfs? i am using gparted ? [21:39] im about to hit apply. [21:40] i do it already many time but it's not work [21:40] Is there an opensource software that can retranslate internet radio channels into the lan? [21:40] Does anyone here use TorrentFlux ? [21:40] i check everyoption on volumme control [21:40] hiii, quick question [21:40] !info acl [21:40] acl (source: acl): Access control list utilities. In component main, is optional. Version 2.2.45-1 (hardy), package size 43 kB, installed size 260 kB [21:40] is there a way to boot the computer without mounting the / partition so i can partition it [21:40] OdnsRvns : then type ./filename [21:41] drhe|lap: advanced options require the command-line tools in many instances. You can, I think, use tune2fs to set the options after the file-system is created, but you'd need to check for something like that [21:41] Awsoonn: see package 'acl' for more about what the '+' means in ls [21:41] man acl [21:41] !info acl [21:41] acl (source: acl): Access control list utilities. In component main, is optional. Version 2.2.45-1 (hardy), package size 43 kB, installed size 260 kB [21:41] how can one obtain kernel devel sources without an internet connection? [21:41] sorry, I reflex typed in channel... :P [21:42] Awsoonn: the commands are: /usr/bin/getfacl /usr/bin/setfacl /usr/bin/chacl [21:42] thanks dooglus [21:42] i need to patch my kernel, yet i cant connect to apt-get [21:43] darkscrypt: can you connect to apt-get on another computer? [21:43] darkscrypt: all methods of getting the kernel sources require an Internet connect, whether repositories or git [21:43] i try to install says cant open file [21:43] leslieviljoen, yes i can connect to apt on another computer [21:44] all i have is a flash drive and other computers with an internet connection..but no connection on the computer needing the devel sources [21:45] ;D [21:45] any suggestion [21:45] s [21:45] darkscrypt: you can just download with apt-get -d [21:46] !info aptoncd [21:46] aptoncd (source: aptoncd): Installation disc creator for packages downloaded via APT. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.98-0ubuntu1.1 (hardy), package size 207 kB, installed size 1528 kB [21:46] on another computer? [21:46] darkscrypt: yes [21:46] OdnsRvns : type file filename.sh and see what it says [21:46] okay [21:46] darkscrypt: then transfer the files [21:46] what is vmware-user? [21:46] darkscrypt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy [21:46] thanks that should hepl [21:46] off to class peace [21:47] darkscrypt: byeee [21:47] apt-proxy? i mean the computer has no working ethernet // wireless devices at all [21:47] need a kernel recompile to fix [21:47] Hi, i need some help with jetty 5 and jndi [21:48] i dont know that setting up a proxy would help..at a quick glance [21:48] how can I load a external file into my bash.bashrc? sh filename? [21:48] type the file name where [21:48] sh install-crossover-games-pre7.1.sh [21:48] thats the file name [21:48] should i make a swap partition? ubuntu is telling me i should. shoudl it be Primary or Logical? [21:48] drhe|lap: how much RAM do you have? [21:48] How come when i type in 'uptime' in the terminal it says there are 2 users ?? [21:48] thanks OdnsRvns [21:48] i cant open software sources [21:48] How can I see if my disk access is saturated? [21:48] drhe|lap: also, it doesn't matter which it is. [21:49] darkscrypt: There is a trick - copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/ to the non-connected PC [21:49] 512 right now. but i will bring it upto 712mb in a few mins. also, i think i might upgrade to 2gb. [21:49] darkscrypt: or just download the debs on another computer and take them over with a USB key [21:49] Stargazer: root and you? [21:49] drhe|lap: for 512 you'll want a gigabyte of swap [21:49] drhe|lap: is it a laptop? [21:49] desktop [21:49] OdnsRvns : type ls -al filename [21:50] drhe|lap: put a gigabyte then [21:50] ok. [21:50] IntuitiveNipple, im the only one on the computer. unless, of course, root is running somewhere ? [21:50] good grief! Is there any way to filter out connection messages in xchat? [21:50] Anyone who want to help me a little? I'm trying to install ubuntu with wubi in vista x64,but after it that and I reboot, it just boots vista as usual...no grub or choice or anything :( been searching the forums forever without finding a solution :( === mid is now known as Marian [21:50] i can always change the swap later right?? [21:50] well shrinking it is not trivial [21:50] Stargazer: most system processes will run as root [21:50] you won't need to add more though [21:50] mo such file or directory [21:50] Stargazer: do "ps -ef" and look at the user's that own each process [21:51] <_Zeus_> pellen: Wubi is meant to run as an application [21:51] this channel sucks.! nobody is answering anything! i'm moving to mandriva! at least they have good support! [21:51] lol [21:51] <_Zeus_> cy21: bye [21:51] bye [21:51] cy21: bye [21:51] If Ubuntu is too hard for you, quit now [21:51] <_Zeus_> pellen: you should find ubuntu in your programs list [21:51] drhe|lap: you might even do fine with just 512MB if you don't do anything very resource intensive [21:51] OdnsRvns : are you sure you are in the directory where the file is? [21:51] Go back to Microsoft products. Youll be safe there. [21:51] _Zeus_, yes [21:51] no luck [21:51] i do [21:51] drhe|lap: and after you upgrade to 2GB your swap will go mostly unused :) [21:52] cy21: did you ask a question? [21:52] <_Zeus_> pellen: you don't boot to ubuntu if you installed it in wubi [21:52] Oh ok, that uptime thing had me thinking i had been hacked or something. thanks IntuitiveNipple. [21:52] leslieviljoen, many [21:52] hey everyone [21:52] monoimoi, lol just SkyLeach is enough to get my attention, you don't need anything special :-) [21:52] Stargazer: :) [21:52] Chousuke, okay. [21:52] <_Zeus_> pellen: if you want to install ubuntu, put the cd in and reboot with the cd in [21:52] virtual box is not working with usb support [21:52] <_Zeus_> pellen: you might have to set your BIOS to boot to the CD [21:52] so...wubi is wubi and not ubuntu? :P [21:52] is there a way to open "software sources " if it wont open in system? [21:52] <_Zeus_> cy21: have you looked at the vm settings? [21:52] oki doki [21:52] <_Zeus_> pellen: wubi=ubuntu in windows [21:52] _Zeus_, i did.... the usb's work there [21:52] no luck like i said [21:52] cy21: Have you searched Launchpad for bugs related to virtualbox and USB? There are lots, it is a well known issue [21:53] I have a question, when I am trying to either install or boot live from ubuntu 8.04 cd i get the ata6.01: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen; status {drdy} anyone have any ideas ? [21:53] did you see the suggestion by IntuitiveNipple? (this one: "IntuitiveNipple> monoimoi: SkyLeach sudo dpkg --audit might help" ) [21:53] hmm [21:53] OH... NOW THAT I THREATEN TO LEAVE U ALL HELP? :)) [21:53] lol i didnt have permissions for it [21:53] cy21: that sounds more like a VB issue than an Ubuntu issue, perhaps you should try asking your question in the appropriate channe,l [21:53] how gay [21:53] monoimoi, try doing that and put the output into the pastebin [21:53] but _Zeus_, you can install ubuntu from windows? [21:53] yeah, i get the erron in installation... [21:53] IndyGunFreak, it's an ubuntu issue... some usb support was not installed [21:53] i had to install it by hand [21:53] anyway, here it is [21:53] and it did not work [21:54] cy21: are you using the "commercial" virtualbox? [21:54] cy21: well, you obviously have it figured out [21:54] IndyGunFreak: no, there is a well known 'break' in Ubuntu support for the USB-FS that used to be in /proc, which is what things like virtualbox expect to find [21:54] ic.. [21:54] leslieviljoen, not ose.. i'm using the actual deb 2.0 from the site [21:54] seems odd, usb works fine for me. [21:54] Ubuntu moved to using the /sys file-system (/proc) was deprecated a long time ago, but many applications haven't updated [21:55] IndyGunFreak, in virtual box? [21:55] cy21: yes.. [21:55] I have a question, when I am trying to either install or boot live from ubuntu 8.04 cd i get the ata6.01: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen; status {drdy} anyone have any ideas ? [21:55] cy21: what USB device are you trying to use? [21:55] installed, virtualbox, etc. [21:55] how do I update my ld.so.conf with ubuntu after putting an entry into the ld.so.conf.d dir ? [21:55] leslieviljoen, web cam [21:55] cy21: I use a USB serial port in VB all the time [21:55] lol [21:55] There is a work-around to re-enable the /proc support with some 'magic' lines that are commented out by default in /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh [21:56] Skyleach, http://pastebin.com/d67224ac5 [21:56] i need hellp [21:56] IntuitiveNipple, did that.. did not work... and i managed somehow else to make it work... but.. it's not fully working.... [21:56] my synaptic manager has an error i cant open it [21:56] cy21: I sorta doubt you are going to have any luck with a webcam in VB because it has limited graphics capabilities [21:56] I've just published a patch for qemu and kvm that deals with this - adds support for /sys/ file-system to them [21:57] cy21: clues are usually in the log-files, or by enabling additional tracing/debugging options [21:57] leslieviljoen, i want to use the inbuild mic it has ;) [21:57] hello. any ubuntu developer in here? [21:57] hi, szelek [21:57] maybe i should have mentioned... [21:57] monoimoi, wait... do you specifically need to update your kernel and initramfs? [21:57] I have a question, when I am trying to either install or boot live from ubuntu 8.04 cd i get the ata6.01: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen; status {drdy} anyone have any ideas ? [21:57] i believe the host has a customized kernel of ubuntu... at some level [21:58] monoimoi, because that discussion I linked you to was to get you capable of updating everything else by bypassing the kernel and initfs updates. [21:58] * SkyLeach reads the posting again. [21:58] yes, i tried but the following errors occured [21:58] monoimoi: Try this: sudo apt-get --force install linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic [21:58] monoimoi: that seems to be the one that is incomplete, and thus causing initramfs to fail [21:58] anyone an idea why my synaptic manager dont open and shows an error? [21:58] ok, will try that [21:59] cy21: there's plenty to read if you google "virtualbox webcam" - but not much success. I have never tried it. [21:59] St3p1: what is the error [21:59] monoimoi: the other option if apt-get refuses, is to download the .dev packages manually and install them with dpkg to solve that error behind apt's back [21:59] St3p1: run Synaptic from a command line and see what errors show up. Can't help you much without them! [21:59] I have a question, when I am trying to either install or boot live from ubuntu 8.04 cd i get the ata6.01: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen; status {drdy} anyone have any ideas ? [22:00] ok so i have a question. i want to know is there a posibility to have on other than ubuntu linux distribuion (arch for example) things working out of the box like gui when changing wolume and stuff like that [22:00] hi @all, I have a problem with my headset that works on no application (Skype, pidgin Audiorecorder.......) anyone a Idee.....????? [22:00] sudo apt-get --force install linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic [22:00] E: Command line option --force is not understood [22:00] Spragie: yea, sounds like driver problems for your CD rom [22:00] monoimoi: You can download the .deb that matches the PC's architecture here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic [22:00] pestilence: not sure it says must be run manually [22:00] monoimoi: oh, my bad! :p [22:00] St3p1: it says that automatic updates are diabled, so you must update manually? === poon is now known as l3r1k [22:00] leslieviljoen, webcams work in virtual box.. i'm guessing more than ever in this 2.0 version [22:01] Hey everyone. ;) [22:01] monoimoi: that --force should have been --force-yes [22:01] pestilence: i just deleted windows complete im a lil nervoes npow i dunno what to do [22:01] pestilence ; im going to swap cd-roms right now, it is an older cd-rom tho it seems they would have generic cd-rom drivers ?

[22:02] AAArdghhhh [22:02] St3p1: you can fix it, we can help (is this home depot?) [22:02] monoimoi: well, do what it says [22:02] monoimoi: ok, download the package manually as I said [22:02] monoimoi: You can download the .deb that matches the PC's architecture here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic === Batty is now known as Batty4 [22:02] Is the option "install a command line system" still present on 8.04? [22:02] Spragie: yea, sometimes there are new bugs in old drivers, though [22:02] what's the command for finding out what motherboard and cpu I have? [22:02] ok, will try that too... [22:02] IndyGunFreak: He's stuck in an endless loop because of a broken package install, that apt can't figure out [22:03] ah... guess thats why its best to just stick w/ the repos. [22:03] Batty: cuz i only run 2 weeks ubuntu now , i dunno if it was a good idea....now it seems nothing works anymore in ubuntu [22:03] SebNaitsabes, lshw, hwinfo, ddcprobe [22:03] SebNaitsabes: 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' for CPU, 'dmidecode' should tell you a bit about your mainboard [22:03] pestilence: what is home depot?

[22:04] The exact procedure is mentioned (although not step-by-step) in that forum thread. [22:05] Once linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic is fully installed, update-initramfs will complete === BeTa__ is now known as BeTa-glop [22:05] Take your time. Without logging in and doing it for you I can't give exact steps. [22:05] pestilence: it said run dpkg --configure -a i did it now [22:05] Just in case someone had any interest in my question, I found more documentation about it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [22:05] /msg tj83 hello [22:05] SkyLeach: good point! Did monoimoi remove the older kernel? [22:05] hi, Kristi [22:05] IntuitiveNipple, halfway. I think that's where it broke. [22:05] heya IndyGunFreak ^_^ [22:05] SkyLeach: If so, it's just a case of cleaning /boot and editing /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:06] ok, i will have to prioritize the solutions proposed, hehe [22:06] IntuitiveNipple, this issue has happened to quite a few people it seems. [22:06] SkyLeach: Ahhh, I thought it broke half way through the install, not uninstall! [22:06] Hello [22:06] hi, Kristi [22:06] I gotta go... bye guys! [22:06] monoimoi: Help me get less confused! ... [22:06] exactly [22:06] thanks soundray and unop thanks a lot [22:06] St3p1: and what was the result of running dpkg --configure -a ? [22:06] half way through install [22:06] monoimoi: Have you installed a newer kernel and are trying to remove older ones? [22:06] pes it works now :) ty [22:06] St3p1: good [22:06] Hi! [22:07] IntuitiveNipple, halfway through the uninstall AFAICT. That's why the initramfs will not uninstall: because it is checking for the kernel module tree and it has already been removed. [22:07] again, AFAICT since I'm not actually on the machine checking what I say against the actual files and process. :-) [22:07] SkyLeach: okay... I thought it was the opposite, the kernel not completely there yet! [22:07] so, i will try skyleach's [22:07] Spragie: now that i think about it, it's probably not the cdrom, but the controller card that ubuntu is having problems with. but i guess if you have already swapped cdroms it is still worth a shot [22:08] and if all fails, contact the host for a fresh installation :( [22:08] Spragie: in any case, i think there is possibly some kernel options you can set to get it to boot [22:08] monoimoi: In which case all it needs is to do sudo rm /boot/*-2.6.24-16-generic [22:08] Spragie: i have had that problem before, but not with this version of ubuntu [22:08] monoimoi: that will remove the files that cause update-initramfs to look for the libraries [22:08] Hi Lolmac! [22:09] Hello everyone. [22:09] hi, Batty4 [22:09] monoimoi: what kernel version is that PC running now? (uname -a ) [22:09] Can i have different nvidia driver setups? (I have multiple kernels) [22:10] IntuitiveNipple, uname -r is better ;) [22:10] Drk_Guy: Yes, if you set up custom boot scripts that set-up symlinks to the different nvidia libraries based on the kernel version that is starting [22:10] Drk_Guy: I prefer to see everything === Gargamel is now known as Breakdown [22:10] IntuitiveNipple, Oh!, hard [22:11] Drk_Guy: it avoids wrong assumptions :) [22:11] hi [22:11] hi, leviogel [22:11] Yes, that would be intuitive. LOL [22:11] IntuitiveNipple, lol [22:11] IntuitiveNipple, are you experienced in that matter? [22:11] Honestly I was thinking the same as Drk_Guy though. [22:11] Drk_Guy: Past master :D [22:12] hi [22:12] hi, reza [22:12] lolmac is a friendly bot. [22:12] this is the first time i am using this [22:12] IntuitiveNipple, Can you help me out? [22:12] i installed ubuntu and Xchat [22:12] that's cool [22:12] hi [22:12] uname -a tells me if it is an SMP kernel, and what architecture it is... uname -r only tells me the version [22:12] hi, Drk_Guy [22:12] reza Congrats. [22:12] lol, lomac isn't a bot [22:12] Drk_Guy: I just did! [22:12] Oh! it is [22:12] IntuitiveNipple, Drk_Guy there is an easier way. The nvidia driver will be installed in the particular module tree for the particular kernel you are running at the moment. You can then have different Device configuration strings in your xorg.conf/xf86Config and specify which one to load with startx -- [displayname] [22:13] lolmac's response times seems like it. ={ [22:13] hi [22:13] hi, ssanchez_ [22:13] hello all [22:13] hi, deserteagle [22:13] :D [22:13] SkyLeach: It isn't that... it's the fact it installs into the application /lib/ directories each time it runs. I've done it myself because I'm always testing different kernels [22:13] SkyLeach, startx doesn't work in ubuntu, and yes, i thought the same as you, but when i install the module on kernel a, kernel b get's ABI incompatibility [22:14] how do i check to see why gcursor isn't showing the Install Theme dialog box? [22:14] or why nothing happens when i choose a cursor or press the "Go To Theme Folder" button? [22:14] hello [22:14] hi, mc_ [22:14] IntuitiveNipple, Drk_Guy ah my bad. I didn't think Ubuntu would be that different when using the nvidia-provided drivers. (I run gentoo on my personal desktop) [22:14] I run kernel version X, install nvidia, move the files it installs to a directory with the kernel-version in, and then have a script create sym-links at the original location [22:14] hello [22:14] hi, deserteagle [22:14] I have a qustion [22:14] * Drk_Guy thinks if deserteagle named himself after that gun [22:14] Then, repeat for another kernel version. [22:14] yes and no [22:14] :P [22:15] SkyLeach, Gentoo pwns, but it is too complicated ;) [22:15] i grew up on a desert and eagles are lonely creatures... and yes, the gun is cool [22:15] I've got an /etc/init.d/nvidia-version script that ensures the correct script is run to set up the sym-links based on - wait for it - uname -r ! [22:15] hi lolmac [22:15] IntuitiveNipple, it is annoying having to do that everytime [22:15] does ubuntu support a wireless connection after a fresh installation or do you have to install somethin? [22:15] which program is as similar as modelsim on ubuntu? [22:16] :( bot doesn't love me anymore [22:16] SkyLeach: It could be different with the nvidia-glx-new package - I use the latest Nvidia driver package [22:16] JunTao, depends on the wireless adapter [22:16] there is this word as pwn again!! lol methinks [22:16] JunTao, depends on chipset, broadcom and atheros need lil twaeking [22:16] unop i went to network settings and theres no wireless option only wired and point to point [22:16] hmm [22:16] IntuitiveNipple, i use the .run file ;) [22:16] its probably broadcome....its a laptop [22:16] Drk_Guy, well honestly I am sitting here wondering why Ubuntu would change the Nvidia-default behavior of installing the kernel-specific driver into /lib/modules/`uname -r` [22:16] !wireless | JunTao [22:16] JunTao: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:17] so no one knows about gcursor? :( [22:17] JunTao, run lspci please, and pastebin output [22:17] Drk_Guy, I came from Gentoo also, though I didn't like the speed of compilations. It seems that emerge is much slower with the same packages compared to apt-get. [22:17] so does anyone know of a good CAD program [22:17] Batty4, apt uses precompiled stuff [22:17] AutoCAD? [22:17] Drk_Guy: yeah, I do, but only once per kernel version [22:17] !info qcad | vbman11 [22:17] vbman11: qcad (source: qcad): A professional CAD System. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.5.0-1-2ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 2954 kB, installed size 12648 kB [22:17] Batty4, apt-get does not compile anything. [22:17] how can i put the clock on the desktop/ [22:17] of course, to do it you have to install the nvidia drivers twice, once under each kernel you plan to run it under, but :dunno:... one of those "works for me" situations. [22:17] monoimoi: you've gone quiet, are you making progress? [22:17] Drk_Guy: free? [22:17] Is there a text editor that collapse a block of code e.g function? [22:18] Why would one use Privoxy if one already has Tor?? [22:18] vbman11, GPL'ed [22:18] Gin, vim [22:18] Drk_Guy: cool thanks [22:18] Infinite88, afaik, TOR needs Privoxy [22:18] vbman11, np [22:18] my micro on Hardy Heron don't work [22:18] SkyLeach: for me it's about 3 times a week because I'm building new kernels all the time [22:18] Drk_Guy how lol i'm not on the machine lol' [22:18] unop, gtk app ;) [22:18] Gin, gvim [22:18] this is my desktop....i'm doing it on my laptop :D [22:18] Drk_Guy, what do you mean? Sorry to sound ignorant [22:18] Yes, does it really add that much performance with computers now? I noticed that there was no compilation, but still I've only installed Ubuntu a few days ago. [22:18] JunTao, lol, do you know if you run broadcom or atheros? [22:19] IntuitiveNipple, on the same machine? [22:19] sss [22:19] Infinite88, afaik = as far as i know [22:19] Drk_Guy, oh ^^ [22:19] IntuitiveNipple, why do you build that much kernels? [22:20] anybody help me [22:20] Drk_Guy: I'm on the kernel ACPI team [22:20] how i can disable desktop effects when login the second user [22:20] Batty4, ubuntu is primarily a binary distribution as opposed to gentoo which is a source distribution - but you can compile stuff if you want, thought there is rarely a need to do so. [22:20] IntuitiveNipple, WOW!!! [22:20] Reel nice, congratulations!, IntuitiveNipple [22:20] ok, im this close to giving you skyleach or intuitivenipple root access... gdammit [22:21] Drk_Guy I think it's athero's communication? [22:21] monoimoi: read this article of mine then: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Howto/MultiuserScreenWithSshForSupervisedRemoteSupport [22:21] Ive just read a page on the net but havent finished reading it, is there a way for me to bookmark/save where i stoped than continue from that location tommorow? [22:21] JunTao, then googling MadWifi should help you out ;) Make sure to use the tarball that reads "fixed symlinks" or it won't work [22:21] IntuitiveNipple, boot vmlinuz -noacpi :-p [22:21] monoimoi: I used it this morning to repair a disk that had been corrupted, works really well [22:21] lol [22:21] j/k [22:21] SkyLeach: trying to do me out of work!?! :D [22:22] Hey all [22:22] Drk_Guy hmmm how did u know that its fixed [22:22] * SkyLeach used to have a dual processor CUV4XDLS-M dual P3 motherboard that the kernel acpi code barfed horribly on. [22:22] problem is... apt-get doesnt work :(( [22:22] JunTao, i've helped 3 atheros guys with it ;) [22:22] anyone even use gcursor? is there some better way to change cursors? [22:22] whats the memory limit of ubuntu [22:23] Drk_Guy cool thanks i'm checking out [22:23] deserteagle, gnome has it's own interface for changing cursots [22:23] OdnsRvns, try ulimit -a [22:23] *cursors [22:23] monoimoi: lol use the Live CD - do you have one? [22:24] monoimoi, IntuitiveNipple, livecd PLUS chroot ;) [22:24] Drk_Guy: care to point the way please? :) [22:24] eeyy help me please: how i can disable desktop effects when login the second user? [22:24] I have a minor problem with finding out how to pair my cell with my laptop (IBM T30) - can someone help me finding the right menu for setting up Bluetooth?

[22:50] * dupesfield nods [22:50] ok cool [22:50] HollywoodJumper: hold the button for 20 seconds [22:50] is the pencil the only bruteforce method? [22:50] HollywoodJumper, depends on the router. [22:51] Hollywood: I prefer hammers and axes [22:51] on that one, yeah [22:51] what model? [22:51] and the version of the software on the router. [22:51] it is a linksys wrk54g [22:51] Pencil is the 'reset to factory default method' [22:51] How I can restore lost some program files?!?! [22:51] Vladimir[LV]_, which "program files"? In general, apt-get install [22:52] what is the file name to set fixed ip ? [22:52] SkyLeach: i have lost some files of my mail server.. [22:52] what is the file name to set fixed ip ? [22:53] Due to an unresolved bug in the Linux kernel included in Alpha 6, it should not be used on Intel ethernet hardware handled by the e1000e driver (Intel GigE). Doing so may render your network hardware permanently inoperable. [22:53] HollywoodJumper: no user name, only password admin [22:53] likes....... [22:53] yikes..... [22:53] dikes === jimmygoon_ is now known as jimmygoon [22:54] Vladimir[LV]_, which mail server? Postfix, qmail, sendmail? [22:54] and if that doesnt work then there are no other ways? [22:54] hello im trying to do this in a shell: kill pidof program [22:54] hi, jasuus [22:55] how do i pass the result of pidof to kill? [22:55] HollywoodJumper: when it asks for username and pass: username leave blank, type password admin [22:55] http://pastebin.ca/1209758 [22:55] man [22:55] HollywoodJumper, most of the linksys routers have anti-bruteforce delay methods that would make raw bruteforce take FOREVER. You can bypass this by hitting the tftp server with a perl script very rapidly with a dictionary attack. [22:56] jasuus, kill -9 `pidof someprocessname` [22:56] skyleach could you explain that in laymans terms [22:56] single quotes... [22:56] thnx [22:56] SkyLeach: we're doing a screen Multiuser piggy-back session from my PC via ssh to monoimoi's server now [22:56] SkyLeach, kill -9 ?? that's very rarely needed and should be used sparingly [22:56] is there a way to kill from console? [22:56] X [22:56] radovich, you want to kill X from the console? [22:57] jasuus, actually, those are backticks (the key at the top left of your keyboard with the ~ above it, right next to the 1) [22:57] unop, [22:57] unop: i would like to terminate X from a freebsd console. it runs on ttyv8 [22:57] thank you! [22:57] jasuus, kill $(pidof something) #works too [22:57] unop, actually, kill -9 won't hurt anything, just makes sure it actually does kill whatever he's going after. [22:58] SkyLeach, you are so wrong about this. [22:58] unop, I would have used killall "processname" anyhow personally. [22:58] anyone help me figure out how to make my net111v2 wireless dongle successfully connect me to the internet? i have already done all of the /etc/interface crap.... and i am at zero success [22:58] radovich, killall X #perhaps [22:58] unop: let's say i am in ttyv1 and want to kill X on ttyv8. is it possibile?

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 [23:02] radovich, start up in the recovery mode/single user - or disable kdm from starting - sudo update-rc.d -f kdm remove [23:02] gaintsura, conclusion, leave as last resource [23:02] SkyLeach, FYI. http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html#uuk9letter [23:02] i will get boring now: how to mount ext3fs in freebsd? how to make kdm atostart with the system??? :) [23:02] anyone help me figure out how to make my net111v2 wireless dongle successfully connect me to the internet? i have already done all of the /etc/interface crap.... and i am at zero success [23:02] Drk_Guy: tbh, I had problems doing it any other way, it would work until an update happened and then it failed, or got corrupt, envy was the best way for me [23:02] is there an appother then open office that will open office docs? [23:03] gaintsura: noted... may i ask; are you playing games on that card? same performance as in windoze? [23:03] how do I set ulimit -n for users so that it will take across reboots? [23:03] gaintsura, envy worked for me where other ways didn't, still, i recommend to leave as a last resource [23:03] mizipzor: I don't have time to game much anymore unfortunately, but yes, it does have similar performance as in winblows [23:03] my output of ps gives a process name as: [myprog.e] [23:03] gaintsura: thanks [23:03] pidof doesnt give its pid [23:03] Wicky656, see /etc/security/limits.conf [23:03] mizipzor: np [23:03] i dualboot freebsd7 and ubuntu. it would be nice for bsd to see my ubuntu partition. how to make that work?

I don't really even know why I suggested kill -9. The only time I've ever had to use it was to kill a runaway jvm that had eaten into the heap from the stack.
