[00:03] none of all work.... i have no internet connections [00:03] John_Valdez, You need firmware for both of them [00:03] hardcorelinux only mentioned because it's generic and works with all accounts [00:04] hardcorelinux, ok great that worked! how do I prevent that from happening in the future after creating folders [00:04] hardcorelinux, and do I always need to use sudo to run those commands ? [00:05] carter yes if you don't own it you probably can't modify it either. [00:05] I would like to have an FTP server that uses what I think is called "fake root". I want it to restrict ftp users to their "home" folder. I do not want the ftp users to be able to log in and see my entire system from "/". This is for my security and user convenience. How can I get an FTP "fake root" to work? [00:05] matreya6, i am really new about this linux deal how would i go about getting them to work... i have tried google and i am just way more confused.... between moding the kernel or something to that pont, for the marvell. The huge problem is that i have no internet connection on that laptop at all... [00:05] carter, if you create files/folders as carter you won't have to do this again, sudo is not always required, you could have ran these commands without sudo [00:05] hey i just wanna say to all those people who always help me i got it to work because of the link provided [00:06] hardcorelinux, hm, I tried but received Operation not permitted, added sudo and it worked [00:06] carter yes if you don't own it you probably can't modify it either.

[00:08] I'm having a strange problem, when I'm root (sudo -i) I can do "echo -n 50 /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness" to change the brightness, but when I'm a regular user and I try it with sudo it complains I don't have permissions [00:09] I got mounted a img of a ubuntu, but it got no kernel nor initrd, how can i create those files? [00:10] carter i don't do windows, i do linux. i do a lot of linux. but samba is not something that i'm familear with because i have no need/use for it. [00:10] Agent_bob, fair enough, thanks for your help. [00:11] hardcorelinux, how can I ensure I access the share as carter so this doesn't happen again? I'm not prompted for creds when accessing the share === John_Valdez is now known as pcoleman09 [00:11] I'm adding a network printer and its asking for a PPD file or a driver.

It's a fresh install, any help? [00:12] christian: you'll have to test it your self [00:12] sullyva86 if the generic will work with your printer you can === rudy is now known as Guest48157 [00:12] christian: prolly a mouse [00:12] inasmu: do you mean "sudo echo -n 50 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness"? [00:12] i installed awn after a fiasco of compiling things and when i rebooted my graphics were shot. so i reinstalled the restricted ati driver and rebooted upon which i had all effects back but my max res is stuck at 640x480 any ideas? [00:12] Agent_bob: Should i select the brand of the printer? I doesn't say the model just has a list of brands. [00:13] xD [00:13] Pici: I mean, when I'm logged in as root I can, but when I sudo as a regular user I can't [00:13] sullyva86 yes [00:13] Babam, wine Wow.exe -opengl [00:13] Thanks :D [00:13] Agent_bob: OH ok thanks i got it working now [00:13] I'm looking for a program similar to peer guardian, I want to protect myself against others on a peer-to-peer network, can someone point me in the right direction?

[00:14] inasmu, echo "2" > /proc/acpi/video/LCD/brightness? [00:14] usser: maybe it isn't cron then... i guess it's just a normal script? there's a boot-time option [00:15] Babam, depends on where u installed wow in the first place [00:15] hardcorelinux: didn't work, I think I might have to write a script and sudo that [00:15] Babam, for instance program files is in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files [00:15] hola? [00:15] if this is the wrong channel please guide me to the appropriate one [00:15] !autostart > balz [00:15] balz, please see my private message [00:16] inasmu: priveleges are not carried accross IO redirection operators. You can do something like: sudo sh -c "echo -n 50 > /proc/whatever" [00:16] what its hte button 4 xD [00:16] :( [00:16] balz, can u pastebin the script because im not sure what u mean by bootime option [00:16] christian, I think button 4 is scroll wheel down or up [00:16] inasmu, to do that do a 'sudo bash -c "echo /proc/acpi/video/LCD/brighness" [00:16] usser: let me see if i can find it... i'm on webmin [00:16] usser: I installed it to there, so would it be wine `/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft/ wow.exe -opengl?

[00:23] sorry for my ignorance but i'm new to ubuntu and i'm not really sure what you mean [00:23] hi. whatś the diff between ubuntu and xunbuntu| [00:23] the window managers [00:23] is that all? [00:23] hardccorelinux, ya i believe so [00:23] geodome, ubuntu has Gnome desktop, xubuntu has XFCE desktop [00:23] There a channel you can trade software,music,pics. etc... [00:23] how come xbuntu requires less ram ? [00:24] geodome the desktop environments and default gui applications differ from *buntu to *buntu [00:24] geodome, different programs too, of course, but I think mostly it uses GNOME programs. [00:24] bigdogm: do not discuss piracy here [00:24] geodome required ram ? to install ? [00:25] geodome: becuase xfce uses much less computer power than gnome and Kde [00:25] bigdogm get all your warez at 127.0.0.1 [00:25] Will AWN work with desktop cube and both top and bottom panels? [00:25] pcoleman09, Atheros hardy setup is available in google - http://www.ubuntugeek.com/atheros-ar5007-wireless-with-madwifi-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html [00:25] hotmonkeyluv no [00:25] hardcorelinux, yes it is just got it off the site today [00:25] !LIST [00:25] Hi!

[00:26] usser: Okay tried that, cut scene played fine, but when it came time for the actuall logon screen, the screen went black, I could hear the music, I could see the cursor, but I couldn't move it. [00:26] that fixed my res but all kinds of other things are hosed. will probably just format is there a way once i get things stable to create an image or have some sort of iterative full system backup? [00:26] Usser: had to shut down improperly === Pete1 is now known as Babam [00:26] hardcorelinux, still can't rename or delete files from the share while on the vista box but I can listen to mp3 and movies [00:26] carter, did Vista every prompt your for a login/password?

[00:28] Babam, did it at some point prompt you to install restricted drivers or something of that sort? [00:28] DasEi: oi, where can I check that? [00:28] how can i determine if im running x64? [00:28] hardcorelinux as per carter, i'm admitedly in the dark here, but does samba default to RO access ? [00:28] usser: yes, and I went ahead and installed them, was this a stupid move? [00:28] geodome, if you want the full xubuntu desktop you can use the meta-package xubuntu-desktop [00:28] Babam, no you should have done that [00:28] majortool, 'uname -a' and see if there is an x86_64 in the line [00:28] Babam: lspci,lshw,hwinfo .. or a manual... or open pc ...

[00:56] pcoleman09: then you need to add the cd as a repository as APT is trying to get build-essential from *online* repositories most likely [00:56] !pastebin | Sarmento [00:56] Sarmento: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:56] Sarmento, ^^ [00:56] agib: the easies way is to just create a symlink in /usr/local/bin/ [00:56] hi all, is there a way to direct a pulse audio stream to a specific machine rather than multicast it over the network? [00:57] usser: and I'm back, I lost my mouse, and couldn't exit the virtual desktop, it froze when I hit escape to skip the cinimatic. [00:57] where is the smb.conf file located?

I *think* you might have to recompile sudo to change the default path it uses, but check 'man sudo' [00:58] pcoleman09: yeah [00:58] jrib: that's how it looks... alright thank you so much for the help! [00:59] Ishnu: check appdb.winehq.org and try #winehq [00:59] ok [00:59] thanks [00:59] jrib, ok so i go look for that build-essential ok let me see what i can pull up.... [00:59] Ok so I want to dual boot OS X (Leopard) and Ubuntu, and I am following the wiki, and the wiki says to install the boot loader on SDA3, and I install it on SDA3, but when I go to boot into it from rEEIt menu, I just get a blink white dash on the top left corner.... [00:59] matreya6, I see it, but I have some difficulty understanding Brazillian, just a moment. [00:59] pcoleman09: no, you just need to add your CD as a repository [00:59] hotmonkey luv have installed compizconfig so now how do i get the cube have ticked all the bits that say cube but no cube [00:59] jrib, sorry that means? [01:00] pieman: see if it works with boot camp [01:00] jrib, oh geze lol i get what you are saying [01:00] jrib: thanks ... I am adding this line "usershare owner only = False" to the file to allow me to share folders ... is this a good move? [01:00] pcoleman09: k, let me know if you get stuck [01:00] zetheroo: I've never messed with that file. I just use the GUI: right click on a directory -> properties -> share [01:01] :http://paste.ubuntu.com/51445/ [01:01] Whats up peeps. [01:01] jrib: that is what I always used to do as well .. in Gutsy and Feisty ... but with Hardy I always get this message when I try to share something : 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot share path /media/MAIN/Audio as we are restricted to only sharing directories we own. [01:01] Ask the administrator to add the line "usershare owner only = False" [01:01] to the [global] section of the smb.conf to allow this. [01:02] :Sorry friend had posted in Portuguese, but now posted in English! [01:02] jrib: why is it that I never had to do this with previous releases? [01:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/51445/ [01:02] Sarmento, thx [01:03] zetheroo: that's a bug (it's in the !samba factoid). Have you logged out and back in? [01:03] jrib: I just booted up about 10 min ago [01:04] jrib, it errors out as E: read error - read (21 is a directory) [01:04] jrib: its always like that with every installation of Hardy on every machine ... [01:04] zetheroo: hmm. Actually, you are trying to share a directory you don't own, so it may not be the same bug. What does 'groups' return for you? [01:04] Sarmento, this looks like a problem with locked files in your homedir as well as a non-working network connection. [01:04] pcoleman09: what did you do to get the error? [01:05] jrib:zeth@zeth-ubuntu:~$ groups [01:05] zeth adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin vboxusers sambashare [01:05] jrib, sudo apt-cdrom add [01:05] Sarmento, do you use multiple NIC's in your system? [01:05] zetheroo: yeah, it's not the same bug then. It's probably just a change in default behavior. Adding the line as you were going to do seems like the right thing to do [01:06] pcoleman09: and you have the ubuntu cd in your cdrom? [01:06] jrib, ya [01:06] jrib: ok .. did that ... what the command for restarting the networking? [01:06] I was wondering is there a better webpage editor then bluefish? [01:06] zetheroo: /etc/init.d/samba restart is probably what you need [01:06] Sarmento, your homedir might be corrupted if you can start normally under another user account. [01:07] :My friend then that my user had this problem, it created other users try to solve the problem most do not succeed [01:07] hello to all [01:07] has anyone gotten a Epson TM-U220B printer to work under Linux?

[01:08] try to agree on the error, but what succeeds, the situation was worse now can no longer enter into any user! [01:08] Anyone use an Astaro firewall? [01:09] zetheroo: try logging out and back in? [01:09] Killer--Tux: Try Ctrl + Alt + [+] [01:09] lwizardl: Hmmm, Yahoo? If not, check the Ubuntu forums, or broaden your search. [01:09] matreya6 that dosent work [01:09] usser: I ran it normally, and I was ablle to get to the agrement screen, and than it froze, does that help at all?

[02:23] Lecter [02:23] mystery, you are doing the 'job' in the totally wrong order.. it would be as i said.. best if you install windows first, then linux. Or keep the 2 on 2 totally seperate hard drives. (that is what i tend to do) [02:23] dr_willis would u say unp is one of the best archiving files ou there? im just trying to use a program that compresses the best [02:23] if anyone can help me boot ubuntu please msg me, thanks [02:24] sharav: Best to ask your question in the channel [02:24] jordan_u, i get to this part: sudo apt-get -y install sharutils and it comes up e: package sharutils has no installation candidate [02:24] RipperJ, its an UNARCHIVING tool. :) its unp whateverarchive (and it normally figures out the right command to unpack the archive) [02:24] dr_willis okay cool thank u thats good to know too [02:24] I shut off the power to my computer and ubuntu wont boot, it gets me into a grub4dos command line type thing and i have no idea what to do.

[02:25] pcoleman09: What do you mean "this part" ? Unless your hardware is not supported by the default madwifi drivers you should just have to go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [02:25] i am having a problem with wine, i had sound i changed the hardware acceleration to emulation and checked the driver emulation box, now i cant get sound with any way i configure it. Any advice or help? [02:25] the grub was broken [02:25] what does that mean? [02:26] pcoleman09: Are you connected to the internet? [02:26] sharav, sounds like some how wubi and its bootloader grub4dos broke. some how.. (and i dont use either one, so cant help) [02:26] you stop at the commandline? [02:26] jordan_u, i am using this guide: http://www.stchman.com/ath_drv.html [02:27] sharav, dr_willis: wubi just edits the boot.ini [02:27] how do i use emerald with compiz? [02:27] Flannel, thats what i was thinking.. so where did his grub4dos come from? or is he just mistaken? [02:27] pcoleman09: That guide is out of date [02:27] flannel, no have to use a seperate computer for internet right now both ways to getting internet need firmware [02:27] dr_willis: Not from anything we've done, he must have installed it himself. [02:27] Flannel, ok understood =) [02:27] joradn_u, ur kidding lol oh man.... any advice/ [02:27] dr_willis hey im so stupid i didnt see that when you right click the file u want compressed that the archive manager has an extension for .7z but tahnks either way i didnt realize it [02:28] Flannel, or hes seeing the grub shell or terminal and thinking its like what hes has seen befor. and just calling it grub4dos. :) [02:28] i am having a problem with wine, i had sound i changed the hardware acceleration to emulation and checked the driver emulation box, now i cant get sound with any way i configure it. Any advice or help, please? [02:28] pcoleman09: "This procedure has been tested by myself with Edgy Eft 6.10, I cannot guarantee that it will work on other distros."

[02:30] wael [02:30] jordan_u, it has the hal driver and the support for atheros driver [02:30] smm289 first chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin and then sh ./Goo.... [02:30] I went to Add/Remove programs and its not listed there [02:30] pcoleman09: found something, you need a patched version of madwifi [02:30] smm289: Right, because its in a third party repository [02:31] !medibuntu | smm289 [02:31] smm289: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [02:31] how do I make sure that medibuntu is in my list of sources to download from [02:31] smm289: There's instructions on the medibuntu site to add it to your repos [02:31] smm289, See http://www.medibuntu.org [02:32] pcoleman09: Can you please paste ( use pastebin if it's more than one line, it shouldn't be though ) the output from "lspci | grep Ath" ? [02:32] so anyone have any ideas of how i can get ubuntu to boot again? it says something about a kernel needs to be loaded or something like that and i'm stuck at the grub> command thing === paulj1 is now known as pauljw [02:33] Is there some obvious reason as to why my configure scripts aren't writing makefiles? [02:34] so I've spent the day trying out a few other linux distributions today, and I noticed something about them compared to Ubuntu. The other distros I downloaded were about 4GB, yet Ubuntu is just small enough to fit on a CD. Why is this? What is Ubuntu "missing"?

[02:34] nemesis256, most of the packages, ubuntu's cd contains only base [02:34] nemesis256: alot of other distros include LOTS of stuff on their dvd's, most you never use [02:34] Hey [02:34] I got a USB Logitech headset w/a mic and the mic doesn't work.

So if my Wifi card worked in Ubuntu desktop, will it work in Ubuntu server? [03:06] florian: The only difference between the editions is the default package selection. If your wifi card, for some reason, isn't supported by the server kernel, you can always switch to using the generic kernel, which will be the same one as in the desktop edition [03:06] <[Solars]> FloodBot3 only diffrence between the too is server lacks window manage, and has other server apps...

Thanks for all the help. G'night! [04:24] mikebot: also, if you enjoy working in tty, give "screen" a chance. It's an amazing application [04:24] its helpful so you dont have to scroll down three pages eveytime [04:24] carandraug: OK, I'll take a look at that, thanks. [04:24] mikebot: no problem [04:24] carandraug: Is it bad to be logged into multiple ttys? [04:25] no [04:25] mikebot: I'm not sure but I avoid it.

[04:28] carandraug: How do I cancel a command in it? [04:28] scuniziJ: thanks I will try that right now. [04:28] scunizi: what's the whole name for that. [04:29] ubuntu_todd, k3b [04:29] mikebot: you mean kill a created screen? Cta+a and then k [04:29] ubuntu_todd, sudo apt-get install k3b [04:29] how do I make lyrics show on banshee? :) [04:30] scunizi; Got it. But I just know to use synaptic package manager. :P [04:30] carandraug: Thanks, I'm going to play around with this. [04:30] ubuntu_todd, if you search for it there you'll see it. [04:30] Thanks for the help everyone. Goodnight. [04:30] scunizi: I finished that. Thank you. [04:31] mikebot: no problem. Take a look at "man screen". It's really well written [04:32] Hey does somebody know what du do if I try to connect to a ipsec / L2TP windows server and the clien response gateway is not responding ?? [04:32] GuraX, i dont get what you're asking === r00tintheb0x_ is now known as r00tintheb0x [04:33] scunizi: it is for 3.7G or 4.7G? [04:33] thiebaude: there's tons of them [04:33] anyone ever get counter-strike or any steam games running in ubuntu? [04:33] GuraX, are you making a VPN tunnel? [04:33] scunizi; Sorry for this stupid question;P [04:33] r00tintheb0x: when I try to connect to the VPN server I get only gateway not responding [04:33] DigitalFiz, i hear a lot of those games work fine with wine.. you may want to check the wine app database [04:33] !appdb | DigitalFiz [04:33] DigitalFiz: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [04:33] DigitalFiz: yes. It's in the winehq AppDB [04:33] r00tintheb0x: yehaa sorry I forgett to say [04:34] GuraX, can you RDP into the server to check the logs? [04:34] Try telneting to the port. [04:34] awesome thank you guys [04:35] you too helpful people wouldnt know much about the easycap usb video adapter would you? [04:35] OK, here's some weird stuff [04:35] two [04:35] I set up an ubuntu server and it has generally worked well until some time ago, fo rsome reason, crappe out [04:35] r00tintheb0x: no I only have thes messages from the ipsec client gateway not responding /n tunnel disabled [04:35] GuraX, no clue. [04:35] scottyL: 'crapped out' how? ;p [04:36] i would like to set up my laptop as a wireless access point... i aint having any luck.... [04:36] Question: I have a server which doesn't respond to SSH queries and also when you type in my IP in a web browser it doesn't connect correctly. Now, the weird thing is that if you type in my house's IP in the server's browser it works correctly [04:36] DigitalFiz: never heard of it. Try google for that and add ubuntu in the end. Someone else might have add the same problem as you and registered it somewhere [04:36] and when I try kvpn (gui from KDE) I get my login twice as a debug message and that's it ;/ [04:36] (I installed the Kubuntu desktop) [04:36] Halo?

[04:37] that isn't pidgin [04:37] mrdudle:amsn [04:37] yes get gyachi its a yahoo messenger [04:37] that works for yahoo? [04:37] Can anyone in here think of why accessing my website by typing in my IP address on any other computer in my house doesn't work, but typing it into my server does? [04:37] MrDudle: tried a search for "yahoo" in synaptic package manager? [04:37] google it [04:37] carandraug, yeah ive found a few posts and people seem to be able to get it working i think but doing what they did doesnt work for me so i think mine might be a slightly different peice of hardware or something [04:37] thiebaude, amsn works for yahoo? [04:37] r00tintheb0x: what's the best way to connect to a MS VPN server with ipsec and L2TP ?? [04:38] ubuntu_todd, not really sure about that one.. but what comes to mind is PAL vs NTSC.. check the properties to see that it's set correctly even though you're only doing data it might have an impact. [04:38] mrdudle:yes [04:38] When I put in my ubuntu 8 CD and start my computer. I get a screen that asks if I want to start windows in safemode or regular... How do I get to the installer? [04:38] r00tintheb0x: may be I tried the wrong apps [04:38] sweet [04:38] you will have to download gyachi from sourceforge they have a .deb package [04:38] GuraX, http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS295&q=MS+VPN+server+with+ipsec+and+L2TP+linux [04:38] how can I tell what kernel version I have?

Don't they give the supposed output of lsusb to make sure it's the same hardware? [04:39] i need to update gnome to 2.24 how do i do it?? [04:39] con-man: for the kernel version "uname -a" [04:39] oohh r00tintheb0x has left the room ... [04:39] When I put in my ubuntu 8 CD and start my computer.

[04:45] talib: sudo apt-get install boa [04:45] DigitalFiz: one thing that may not solve your problem, but it may if enough people do it, is mail the guys that build that piece of hardware and ask for help on installing in Linux [04:45] hi friends [04:46] carandraug, good idea i didnt think of that. I'm almost to the point of paying someone to make it work lol. I'm trying to get a video podcast going and id rather not dual boot windows to do it [04:46] hey when you generate key pairs with ssh-keygen, it asks you for a passphrase, is that just for retrieving the private key in the event it gets lost, or is it actually another level of authentication for connection?

I don't even have a webcam, so I never had problems that relate in some way to it === agib is now known as agib|away [04:47] Ay of those of you who may care, I figured it out [04:47] you dont have a WEBCAM omfg [04:47] The problem was that both my laptop and my server were on the same IP [04:47] It wont let me boot from CD-ROM [04:48] what im reading it makes it sound like it is something that will need to be used everytime you generate public keys with it? what in pain in that ass that would be. [04:48] ubd: can we help you? === yahwek_ is now known as yahwek [04:48] yes i was trying to understand the difference between xubuntu and ubuntu [04:49] ummm the X at the beginning [04:49] ubd: Xubuntu uses XFCE for a desktop environment, Ubuntu uses Gnome [04:49] grendal_prime: Please be helpful [04:49] yes that confused me [04:49] ubd ubuntu is gnome xubuntu is xfce [04:49] ubd: was that to me? No I don't need one (actually there's one in my laptop but I never bothered to configure it). Also, that's completely offtopic [04:49] yes but is there any other difference except the desktop? [04:49] im sorry i thougt it was funny... i was going to tell him. [04:49] ubd basically thats it [04:49] ubd:some say xubuntu uses less resources than ubuntu [04:49] ubd: With the desktop comes a few program differences. But no, they use the same repositories, you can convert one to the other freely, etc. [04:49] I thought it was funny, grendal [04:50] wichg im sure it does. [04:50] carandraug, thank you for all your help, this channel is pretty busy its hard to get focussed help your pretty good at focussing on A LOT of people at once hehe [04:50] ubd: xubuntu is lighter weight so if your installing on an old machine it can be useful, otherwise ubuntu is just fine [04:50] if i install xubuntu do i have the debian tools in start menu? [04:50] Inorder to change the boot order, must I use setup if there is a passwrod. When I just do change boot order command, nothing happens. Do I have to go into setup to change that? [04:50] ubd: What debian tools? [04:50] terminal etc [04:50] DigitalFiz: helps when people use my nick in the messages and if you have a properly configurated IRC client [04:50] Does ubuntu have a multi-language onscreen keyboard tool? [04:51] ubd: You'll have a terminal app, etc available, yes. [04:51] because it uses a much lighter desktop..by default...but depending on wich desktop you use, you will use ither more or less sys resources...bell whislts, clocks, egg timers, wifi monitors...kubuntu as alot of that type of stuff [04:51] yes you have all of that in all the types of ubuntu [04:51] ubd: yes. But it comes by default with another terminal, not Gnome-terminal (which is a good thing in my opinion) [04:51] flannel : last question, the windows like features of ubuntu (like automount, update, nvidia drivers) exist in xubuntu? [04:51] egg timers,lol [04:51] ubd: im not really knowledgable, but i have installed and played with both as well as kubuntu, they all do basicly the same thing, its mostly the look and feel of it thats different [04:52] ubd: yes. It also has auto-mount [04:52] ubd: Xubuntu is a little bit more spartan and utilitarian, but yes. [04:52] allright thank you all [04:52] thats part of udev now wich..well any modern debian based distro will use. [04:52] Can someone recommend a good TV Tuner card to use with ubuntu? [04:53] Does anyone have any info on using three monitors with two or three video cards? [04:53] buntus are all debian based. by the way ubd if you want a really clean system go with pure debian [04:53] is using those features considered gay in linux underground community? [04:53] grendal_prime: That makes no sense [04:53] ubd: Please refrain from using that term pejoratively. [04:53] ubd: But no. [04:53] *LOL* I am going to save that question. :) [04:53] you can make an entire os in 400 megs thats pretty darn usefull? [04:53] Pozdravljeni? Se dobim pomoč pri vzpostavljanju linux?

[04:56] jakshemas [04:56] c0llisi0n, search for dual monitor configuration... probably on any of ubuntu's releases prior to Hardy. With that info you'll get the gist of it.. also there is a difference between twinn view and xinerama.. xinerama allows each monitor to be "seperate" with drag capabilities between them.. twinn view stretched the desktop across the monitors with drag capabiltiy [04:56] alright, can someone help with konsole? [04:56] scunizi, do you think it may be easier to setup with three video cards (all nVidia)? [04:57] c0llisi0n, nVidia for sure would be easier.. Start by setting up two then add the third.. [04:57] is there any software available to help create a website? [04:57] Well, I currently have two monitors on two video cards using the "Separate X screen" setting.

Bluefish [04:58] c0llisi0n, if they are dual head cards you'll only need two and then you can do 4 monitors :) [04:58] I am having trouble changing the boot order on my computer. Can I get some help [04:58] carandraug, i know alot about computers, im just very very new to web pages. [04:58] i think this is a serious problem anyone willing to help at all? O_O "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" [04:59] googletot, do you mean the order of the menu that pops up on boot? or changing the boot order of haraddrives? [04:59] use testdisk to recover your partition [04:59] i changed the workgroup name in my samba config file and restarted samba, now it doesnt work, does anyone know why? [04:59] i'll try, thx [04:59] Well, whn I ask it to boot from CD... it dosent [04:59] scunizi, I don't know if the cards can support such a high resolution. Hence why I was going to use an additional card. [04:59] gamma-x: I think bluefish has a preview feature now. If you want an easier to use, KompoZer is the way to go (but to tell the truth I don't like it that much) [05:00] googletot, are you doing that change in bios? [05:00] carandraug, is it hard to make a very limited website? [05:00] Currently, the two monitors are set at 1600x1050 (native resolution). I believe the native resolution of the new monitor is 1280x1024 (or whatever 4:3 for 1280 is) and the video cards can't handle such a high resolution. [05:00] Hello fellas [05:00] c0llisi0n, I know what you mean.. sorry I don't have an answer for that. [05:00] gamma-x: not if you have the knowledge or the time tolearn [05:00] I'm very sorry. I am new to computers. [05:00] is bios part of the ISO? [05:00] ok thanks [05:01] or boot omthing [05:01] gamma-x: html code is easy. W3 schools will be your best friend [05:01] c0llisi0n, ah.. xinerama is the answer for that.. different resolution for each monitor if you want.. it's set in xorg.conf [05:01] ooo Basic input,output [05:01] carandraug, w3? [05:02] gamma-x: it's a website with a lot of information about coding in html [05:02] So... Attach the monitor and enable Xinerama on all three? [05:02] googletot: when you first boot, typically, there is a button to enter bios setup, like the Del key [05:02] gamma-x: http://www.w3schools.com/ [05:02] web standards [05:02] googletot: no, the BIOS is a part of your motherboard software. normaly you have to press del or F2 under boot to acces the BIOS. should say something like press * for entering bios on your screen under boot (you know the black screen) [05:02] I am doing the change when I start the computer and hold down esc, it brings up a menu that says HD CD removable [05:03] googletot, no.. on most computer you get into bios when you are booting the machine.. when it beeps you typically hit "delete" or "F2" or "ESC" or "F12" ... just depends on the machine .. in the menu that pops up there is a place to change the boot order. [05:03] how do i expand a hfs+ partition? [05:03] googletot: bingo! set cd on top of the list and the cd should boot [05:04] i added another share folder and started transfering files from an xp laptop, partway through the samba share quit, and i cant figure out how to get it working properly again, ive reconfigured and restarted it, but that doesnt seem to help === zarius is now known as krash === joshux_ is now known as joshux [05:04] How can i use wget to get an entire directory on a server ?

[05:14] Will I still be able to install it and everything, even if I have to wait for ever? [05:14] scunizi ive seen that list in winehq site im not sure what to try with wine [05:14] inside the disk, should there be a .iso called ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso? [05:14] or does Ubuntu actually have to be installed first? [05:15] HollywoodJumper, throw your dart [05:15] Bryce_: then you could set up a FTP-server on one of the machines (don't se why samba wont work though) [05:15] bryce_:windows has to be installed first [05:15] Let me clarify: [05:15] HollywoodJumper, what's listed are not typically "free" programs.. you have to own them. [05:15] inside the disk, should there be a .iso called ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso???? [05:16] I have a laptop with a corrupted Windows installation, causing it to be unable to boot windows [05:16] The files I'm trying to recover are fine, and I have even mounted the hard drive and have access to them [05:16] scunizi right like diablo 2 seems to not like wine very much from the reviews i read [05:16] I have a 2 desktops, one installed with Vista, the other XP [05:16] googletot, no.. and ISO is a file that is an image of a file system that when burned correctly, extracts all the files and puts them in the right spot on the cd. [05:16] they are connected via a home router [05:17] the laptop also connected [05:17] HollywoodJumper, wouldn't know.. I don't run programs in wine. [05:17] scunizi so I am just burning it wrong? [05:17] how do you run unshield on a file? [05:17] The laptop is running on a live CD, and its very slow [05:17] I want to be able to boot into Ubuntu separately on my computer. However, I don't want to have to change my HD's partitioning or buy any extra equipment. I also want it to be able to save preferences (no LiveCD). [05:17] Now I just want to move the files to one of the Window machines over lan [05:17] googletot:burn it at the slowest speed [05:17] Hello, everyone. I'm having an unusual issue where I can only connect to wifi signals on a Windows Partition, but not the Ubuntu partition on another hard drive. This is a laptop, so I can easily move it to do various tests. The wifi in Ubuntu works, and I can use it, provided that the signal is strong enough. But Ubuntu seems to fail to connect to weaker signals that I can still connect... [05:17] ...to in Windows. Anyone know why or what could be done? [05:17] The end [05:17] googletot, sounds like it... someone here can suggest a good iso program for windows that will burn it correctly.. just ask. [05:17] i got entropia universe running in wine the other night, but i couldnt see any other players, and the graphics were somewhat corupted [05:18] well im buring on a mac [05:18] but i am putting it on a pc [05:18] I have a flash drive that I want to install Ubuntu onto- the problem is that it can't handle multiple partitions (so I can't use a swap partition). How can I get it to work? [05:18] googletot, ask anyways.. there are some mac users here.. [05:19] ok, i am trying toast agian now though [05:19] Jeremified: Google 'Wubi' [05:19] I've heard of that before [05:19] googletot, if you can tell it to burn an "image" [05:19] em... nautilus does not show desktop icons, in gconf-editor apps nautilus preferences its checked show desktop... whats goin on? [05:20] Is someone asking about good ISO software for Windows? Boy, I need some of that, bad. [05:20] Hm. Looks like it'd work. [05:20] Bryce_: so set up a ftp-server on one of the windows machines... [05:20] R-800__, mac [05:20] R-800 i am connected to a linksys server that i dont even know the location of with ubuntu and i have tried windows os too id say ubuntu is better for the weak wifi signals [05:20] Is there any way I could use wubi on a flash drive so I could use it on multiple PCs? [05:21] Ok, but does will Ubuntu be able to send files to that FTP server without having to install any additional software? [05:21] Jeremified, you may be better off using some sort of 'stand alone virtual machine' like virtualbox. [05:21] Jeremified, google "ubuntu on usb" [05:21] HollywoodJumper: You are absolutely correct. I've noticed that Ubuntu is better at MAINTAINING weaker signals than Windows is, but I'm also finding, strangely, that in my case at least, Windows seems to be better at actually CONNECTING to those signals. Does this sound strange to you? [05:21] Bryce_: yes, nautilus can connect to ftp-servers if i'm not mistakeing [05:22] or am i wrong any one? [05:22] r-800_:i agree [05:22] <[Solars]> what are some of the main-stream gui'ed irc clients used in ubuntu [05:22] xChat [05:23] [Solars]: pidgin is the default [05:23] Hello every1 [05:23] solars:pidgin [05:23] pidgin [05:23] [Solars]: xchat, but irssi (not gui) is awsome [05:23] <[Solars]> erm kk [05:23] thiebaude: You mean you've had a similar experience as what I'm describing? [05:23] R-800 i have had to retry to connect to the wifi weak signal a couple times but hey i cant complain about free internet [05:23] [Solars], but you don't want to use pidgin, for gui .... xchat.. for terminal or other tty .. irssi [05:23] can any1 plz help me with video chat apps for ubuntu? [05:23] can nautilus connect to ftp-servers? [05:23] r-800:the internet seems faster with ubuntu installed [05:24] HollywoodJumper: Do you often find that the acccess point is acquired, but the internet link remains unattained? [05:24] !ask | milind [05:24] R-800__: Not sure how you are measuring the signal but you can't really go by the bar displayed by network-manager or whatever windows client you use, many windows clients will give you the actual level in db and you can get that from "iwlist scan" in Linux [05:24] milind: 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. :-) [05:24] <[Solars]> sjovan i gotten to mirc and its custom scripts [05:24] <[Solars]> don't think i can revert back to a cli chat program [05:24] !cli [05:24] 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 [05:24] xchat is not a cli. : [05:25] but its all a matter of taste. :) I use xchat under linux and windows. [05:25] [Solars], it's handy when your system is broke and you need irc to get help [05:25] i added another share folder and started transfering files from an xp laptop, partway through the samba share quit, and i cant figure out how to get it working properly again, ive reconfigured and restarted it, but that doesnt seem to help, any ideas? [05:25] what command do you use to get chat in the terminal? [05:25] Jordan_U: Thanks. I'm not really going by any signal indicators. All my gut feelings on this matter are based on whether connections were acquired or not acquired, and whether connections were lost when weak or not lost when weak. And based on this alone, I arrive at my previously expressed observation about the two OSes. [05:25] kopete is not working fine. Any alternative for video chat? [05:26] milind: ekiga [05:26] Okay, I think I found a good tutorial. Thanks [05:28] It's a pain, really, because I always have to get on Windows to come here to ask questions, and I'd rather be running Ubuntu when asking questions about it. [05:28] Đây, không có gì ai nói tiếng Việt mà có thể giúp tôi không? [05:28] This is my first time using linux/ubuntu and i can't figure out how to unzip a .exe file that i have. [05:28] !vt| Chei [05:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about vt [05:28] Arckon, unzip is for .zip archives normally.... [05:28] !ekiga [05:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about ekiga [05:28] <[Solars]> scunizi if i need to get on irc for help i got 4 other computers :P [05:28] dame ubunto esapñol [05:28] arckon:ubuntu doesn't use .exe files [05:29] [Solars], well then your set... so am I but sometimes I don't like running back and forth [05:29] <[Solars]> scunizi there are 3 feet apart lol [05:29] !es | ubuntu_ [05:29] exactly i need some files that are inside the exe [05:29] ubuntu_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [05:29] <[Solars]> atleas tthis one and the ubuntu box [05:29] Arckon, right mouse click and choose extract [05:29] HollywoodJumper: So you're suggesting just trying to connect to a weak signal over and over again? I didn't think to try that. : ) [05:29] Arckon, it might not een be a zip archive. You could run the exe with wine I guess... [05:29] scunizi it doesn't give me that option [05:30] !wine [05:30] 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. [05:30] [Solars]: you could always wine mIRC if that's what you prefer... [05:30] Arckon, see what dr_willis said above. [05:30] <[Solars]> sjovan perhaps but i heard that scripts doen't work in that case [05:30] * krash prefers xchat [05:30] i'm going to check out this wine you speak of [05:30] brb [05:30] i did that and ive been on for a pretty continuous amount of time without inturruption [05:30] <[Solars]> the only wine i'll touch comes from a bottle :P [05:30] One last thing, folks. Does anyone Run ATI cards with Ubuntu? [05:30] theres also 'cabextract' used to get data files from some .exe archives [05:30] :) [05:31] Việt Nam ai? [05:31] * krash agrees with [Solars] [05:31] !vietnam [05:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about vietnam [05:31] Dr_will that's what i need [05:31] [Solars]: well, then i sugest you just google up a cli that understands the script-language that you need :) [05:31] how do i get cabextract to run on it? [05:31] <[Solars]> sjovan heh its not what I need but rather what i am used [05:31] does anyone know the channel or ubottu command for vietnam? [05:32] <[Solars]> seen someone use a client but i can't remember... [05:32] <[Solars]> i thinking it was Quassel [05:32] !find cabextract [05:32] Found: cabextract [05:32] !info cabextract | Arckon [05:32] arckon: cabextract (source: cabextract): a program to extract Microsoft Cabinet files.

[05:34] majority of linux tools are command line. :) [05:34] then ya got front ends that just call those tools [05:35] onthefence928 can't you just basically copy it from another line in fstab? Or you got the UIID things? [05:35] what if i want it to do it's magic on a file on my desktop what would i type into the terminal [05:35] is there any crediance to the engadget story about intrepid breaking intel network cards [05:35] lets call this file setup.exe [05:35] Arckon, cabextract path/to/the/file.exe [05:35] im guessing Arckon - check the cabextract man pages for examples/details perhaps. [05:36] what is the command to get my box to connect to the internet through the ethernet connection? i am a noob..... [05:36] krash: well nothing else is configured exactly the same way, i have a /home partition a entry for a removable USB drive, a CD entry, swap, root, usb [05:36] frankie_, click on the firefox icon?

[05:37] * frankie_ is a linux noob [05:37] fbc, glxgears in a terminal [05:38] onthefence928: then it should have the same options as the /home directory just /dev/sdb5 for the device and /mnt/hd for the drive point [05:38] see if compiz wiggly windows works! :) [05:38] what does the proper syntax look like? i'm trying "cabextract ../desktop/SETUP.EXE" [05:38] scunizi, ok I'll try that. [05:38] but i get an error [05:38] saschaRed:intel e100e gigabit card, seems to be some problems [05:38] carandraug, do you know if its possible to use the windows driver like you can for wifi cards? [05:38] or rather it says "No such file or directory" [05:38] Arckon, bash basics... ../ is saying go up one directoryu... and linux IS CASE senetive.. Desktop is NOt the same as desktop [05:39] DigitalFiz: yes. It's called ndiswrapper [05:39] Arckon, "cabextract /home//Desktop/setup.exe [05:39] scunizi, yup seems like a wiener to me. [05:39] Arckon, basics #2 = use the TAB key to complate filenames/paths. [05:39] DigitalFiz: wait. Sorry [05:39] carandraug, does ndiswrapper work for more then wifi cards? [05:39] complete :) [05:39] tab key huh... [05:39] pollopolis, what is the full command i should type?

[05:49] frankie_: everything.... paste it on www.pastebin.com and give us the url [05:49] i haven't used the alpha yet, but it should pop up and ask you to install that, if not, look for it in the synaptic package manager [05:49] umm, i can't when the comp with the info can't connect to my network. unless you would just like me to type it all :) [05:50] http://pastebin.com/d62b27641 for my response on the video card [05:50] When I try to mount my .iso it gets stuck on closing sesson or something like that.

[05:53] kingtekrin: did you reboot, and if so, what were the results? [05:53] Say you have to force a quit on an app. What do you do if you can not launch that app after you quit or kill it. How do you relaunch the app? [05:53] oh [05:53] i didnt know im supposed to reboot [05:53] lol [05:53] kingtekrin, actaully I think it's dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [05:53] brb [05:53] kingtekrin: sorry, I didn't specify that [05:53] kk ill be back in like thirty seconds [05:53] kingtekrin: actually, you just need to restart X, but that's the easiest way [05:53] kingtekrin, or dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:54] frankie_: haha, of course (i'm drunk) :) your config looks right. does the light on the card work? are you shure that the cabel, port, card works? === jelmer is now known as Guest4379 [05:54] dont see why not, everything is plugged in.

[06:04] !tvout === agib|away is now known as agib [06:04] For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*) [06:04] Daft_Punk: ahh [06:04] Daft_Punk, hell yes it's the best, I commit the sacrilege of running it on a macbook =D [06:04] from what i see know ubuntu has a nice GUI [06:04] RickZilla: well, unfortunately, they could be all sorts of places; the easiest way of finding files is with locate: "locate gimp" [06:04] blueapples, *gasps* :O [06:04] www.break.com/donatelo11 [06:04] Tvustia, yeah it's even nicer that you can customize it HOWEVER you want :) [06:04] ok, how do I locate "locate" :-) [06:04] really?? [06:04] Tvustia: good luck [06:04] donatelo11, please stop. go to #ubuntu-offtopic for random chatter please. [06:05] jim_p [06:05] RickZilla: oh sorry, you'll need to enter that in the terminal [06:05] I think im gonna like this more than I thought [06:05] Tvustia, you will [06:05] RickZilla: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/terminal [06:05] ok...I'm REALLY new to ubuntu, so I need to figure out what a terminal is first [06:05] Same as command prompt in Windows. [06:05] RickZilla, it is like cmd in windows [06:05] ok [06:05] lol beat me to it didnt ya ziesemer [06:05] but a lot more powerfull [06:05] RickZilla: see that page I just linked [06:06] yeah, *much* better than cmd [06:06] although powershell looks interesting [06:06] I am in love with linux after two days of being immersed in it, despite being clueless, ONLY because of the wonderful people in this room that are there every step...errr...mistep...of the way [06:06] Not even comparable, actually. :-) [06:06] sjovan: http://pastebin.com/d15e9f2b1 [06:06] terminal is GOD (you can control your entire OS through terminal) [06:06] so thank you all [06:06] ssh is god lol [06:06] Thanks a ton for the help...I'll see what I can figure out from there before I come back and ask more questions [06:06] kingtekrin, we love you too [06:06] kingtekrin, now time to recruit everyone you know [06:06] Where kind I find out more about experiences with Ubuntu and the Dell laptops with Ubuntu preinstalled? [06:06] yea, i think you will be seeing me alot over the next couple days [06:06] Can you get amarok to listen to your keyboard media keys in Ubuntu/Gnome? I assign them, and for instance I select configure shortcuts, and hit my media key for "play" - it sets the shortcut to "xf86audioplay" but then back in amarok, nothing happens [06:06] will do... [06:07] but if i open up totem, they control it fine [06:07] Does anyone know what downloading the extra GB in the DVD releases offers over the CD releases in Hardy Heron, etc.? [06:07] but fromm what i see ubuntu llooks like a VERY pretty place to work, even if its brown [06:07] ziesemer: more packages? [06:07] ziesemer, i am not SURE but i think it might be extra apps? [06:07] I had to return 1 laptop already and eat $105 because it wouldn't work with Linux. [06:07] (The colors are easily changable - back to blue, etc. :-) [06:07] Tvustia, it doesnt have to be brown [06:07] as far as i know we can change shell using chsh but is there any way that you can find what are the shell present in my system [06:07] you can download a different theme [06:07] :) [06:07] mines red [06:07] Daft_Punk, are the default installs the same? Just more packages available to install off the DVD? [06:07] ziesemer, the dvd gives you all 3 installs I think.. kubuntu ubuntu xubuntu and maybe server [06:08] ziesemer: All of main ( so you don't have to download any packages from main if you have a slow connection ) [06:08] I need to connect to the internet firs [06:08] sjovan: by the way, i am not typing on my linux machine right now. i am using a mac. [06:08] See, I was wondering about "server". [06:08] ziesemer, i think so yes, but ubuntu.com should tell you what the DVD version offers (it is on amazon) [06:08] yup, the DVD has all 3 DEs [06:08] Including server? [06:08] I hope I can find an auburn university theme "which i doubt) [06:08] ziesemer: Yes, using the text based installer [06:08] Tvustia, see my private message ;) [06:09] As I AM on a slow net connection (EVDO). I have the x64 DVD. Just installed regular desktop ubuntu. Thinking I should've done server instead... [06:09] frankie_: okay... i have never seen anything like that before. the only thing that --> sudo ifdown * <--- does is stoping all your networkinterfaces. then sudo ifup * starts them up again (it's a re-boot) [06:09] something is defently wrong [06:10] ziesemer, why? server comes with no desktop.. you can add one.. but server is for those that know what they need server for. [06:10] sjovan: oh, wait. does && mean i need to seperate the commands? [06:10] && will run the 2nd part only if the 1st part completes successfully. [06:10] okay, frankie_ got a wierd problem when he tryes to run ifdown ---> http://pastebin.com/d15e9f2b1 <--- any one got a idee? [06:11] scunizi, exactly. I'm "upgrading" from a Linksys router running OpenWrt. Want to use it as a router for my EVDO connection. [06:11] frankie_: what ziesemer said [06:11] this is the command i put in: sudo ifdown * && sudo ifup [06:11] Network-Manager is interfering. Deciding between just disabling it and whatever else I'm going to run into, or just use server. [06:11] frankie_ I know this one! :-) [06:12] ziesemer, you can configure desktop to do that I believe.. but I don't know how. [06:12] One of the exact problems I was having, which is why I was inquiring about server. [06:12] ifup / ifdown doesn't work by default under recent Ubuntu, because Network Manager is taking them over. [06:12] how do i augment my volume? My speakers are capable of far more than its giving me, on a song windows gave me good volume on [06:12] ziesemer: juk! that sucks teh balls [06:12] I _think_ "ifconfig eth? up|down" may still work. Otherwise, use the GUI. [06:12] kingtekrin: check alsamixer (in the terminal) [06:13] sjovan, what does? [06:13] i tried using the network manager, but it just confused me with lack of results. [06:13] www.break.com/donatelo11 [06:13] http://view.break.com/579049 [06:13] http://view.break.com/579138 [06:13] here's my system configuration: hd0,0 - Windows Vista, hd0,1 - Ubuntu 8.04, hd1,0 - Mac Os X, hd1,1 - openSuse, and since i installed suse last, its GRUB is now loading on top of others. What would be the entry for Ubuntu in suse's menu.lst? [06:13] donatelo11: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:13] ziesemer: that ifup / down doesn't work any more [06:13] kingtekrin, sometimes ubuntu remaps the jacks in the back of the sound card. try changing to a different one. [06:13] See http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=900804 for some additional details. [06:14] sorry, let me restate that...its a laptop, and internal speakers [06:14] is there anyway we can get donatelo11 kicked? [06:14] If you go into the "Network" applet under Administration and remove the "roaming" checkboxes, Network Manager will ignore the unchecked interfaces, and allow ifup / ifdown, etc., to work again. [06:14] fixed it! terminal [06:14] ziesemer: but maby you can help frankie_ out. his /etc/network/interfaces looks good but he don't get any net with cabel [06:14] http://view.break.com/579049 [06:14] http://view.break.com/579138 [06:14] www.break.com/donatelo11 [06:14] donatelo11: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:14] kingtekrin: you'll want to run "sudo alsactl store" to keep the volumes [06:15] thank you [06:15] * kingtekrin is in love with ubuntu [06:15] sjovan / franike, assuming the same network works elsewhere? That it's not a problem with the cable modem, etc.? [06:15] scunizi: what do you need ? [06:15] Make sure you reboot the cable modem. It may be locking on to old MAC / config from previous connection. [06:15] how to delete a folder/file named "-r" with terminal? [06:16] owen1, several ways.. :) this is a good Linux QUIZ question. [06:16] owen1, rm -- -r [06:16] frankie_: did you try the command ziesemer gave you? have you looked at what he said? [06:16] owen1, rm '-r' === GP001|happy is now known as Guitarplayer001 [06:16] ziesemer: he's on a mac now, so i'm asumeing that the modem is all good :) [06:16] dr_willis: the first one worked! [06:16] dr_willis: wouldn't you need an extra -r on the 2nd? [06:17] owen1, now the questionis WHY did it work... [06:17] dr_willis: i treid the rm '-r' and it didn't. [06:17] xiongchiamiov you shouldent [06:17] Well, right. But if he's just moving the cable between computers, more than likely the modem won't acknowledge the new NIC. [06:17] sjovan: yeah, the "ifconfif" bit just made it reply with "SIOCSIFFLAGS: permission denied [06:17] Run with sudo. [06:17] dr_willis: since it's a directory? or rmdir? [06:17] sudo ifconfig ... [06:17] -- --> means stop parsing the command line optuons.. [06:17] xiongchiamiov, he said folder/file :) [06:17] dr_willis: awesome [06:17] ziesemer: the mac is on wireless, the linux box is wired. [06:17] frankie_: you need to use sudo (to get the acces) [06:17] Im a MAC daddy. [06:18] dr_willis - I knew the quotes. The "-- " is a cool trick. [06:18] !sudo frankie_ [06:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about sudo frankie_ [06:18] !sudo | frankie_ [06:18] frankie_: 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) [06:18] dr_willis: i had this folder for almost 3 months..so annyoing [06:18] ziesemer, :) [06:18] can someone give me their ubuntu entry from menu.lst? [06:18] owen1, you could just use 'mc' and select/delete the file also [06:18] I assume the trailing space seperates it from flags e.g. "--help"? [06:18] ziesemer, any thing after -- gets passed straight to the command un-parsed by bash. i think is he 'proper' way to descrive what its doing [06:19] naw, it just forgot to close the quotes [06:19] command --flag --flag3 -- --flag4_gets_ignored === gg is now known as seKtor [06:19] Gerinych, http://pastebin.com/f53c210aa [06:19] scunizi, thanks [06:19] Gerinych, np.. [06:19] ziesemer, i see the -- used in examples when spawning a new X session in some docs/guides.. [06:19] frankie_: in front of the command that is... [06:20] dr_willis: what's mc? === dani is now known as _daniel_ [06:20] !info mc [06:20] mc (source: mc): midnight commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:4.6.1-8ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 2059 kB, installed size 5944 kB [06:20] sjovan: i did the sudo config command down, and then up. no reply whatsoever in the terminal... [06:20] scunizi, is that the latest kernel? [06:20] dr_willis: do u find mc more efficient than simple terminal commands? [06:21] Gerinych, yep. for Hardy [06:21] owen1, in many cases.. yes [06:21] scunizi, alright, awesome [06:21] dr_willis: can u give me a good usage for mc? [06:21] owen1, install it and run it and see. its a full featured 2 pane file manager [06:22] I've got /, /boot, and /home on seperate partitions. If I reinstall and overwrite everything, but reuse /home, do I need to worry about user / group IDs not matching up, etc., like I'm accustomed to under Windows? [06:22] how do i config wakeonlan pkg? [06:22] ziesemer, how many users? [06:22] dr_willis: Right now, just me. [06:22] fous_, what exactly do you need / where are you stuck? [06:23] How to install? How to use? [06:23] me? [06:23] ziesemer, i always rember to 'readd' the new users in the same order after i reinstall and keep /home [06:23] ziesemer, thats just 3 users total here. :) [06:23] www.break.com/donatelo11 [06:23] http://view.break.com/579049 [06:23] dr_willis, thanks. What I assumed, I guess. [06:23] frankie_: what do you define as no reply? did you get up a new line with "nick"@"computer": ? in that case, then the command did work.... did you type eth? or * ? [06:23] http://view.break.com/579138 [06:23] CO_COOL_CR_CE [06:23] donatelo11: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:23] fous_, you just do wakeonlan [06:23] Anyone here have /kick privs? === CoW_fs is now known as CO_COOL_CR_CE_SE [06:24] sjovan: newline, so i guess it worked. and i typed eth0. [06:24] frankie_: did you type "eht?" or "*" or maby "eht0" [06:24] good :) [06:24] and still now net huh? [06:24] I'm trying to unlock my themes folder to install a theme [06:24] still no interwebs :( [06:25] anybody know about that? [06:25] glades20, to install themes system wide you will need to do it as root. if you just want a single user to install a theme ontheir own/in their own dir.. that should be doeable [06:25] glades20, do you mean /usr/share/themes? [06:25] frankie_, you're attempting to connect through wireless? [06:25] o ok [06:25] thank you lol [06:25] i feel stsupid lol [06:25] ziesemer: no, through ethernet. i don't have a spare wireless adapter for my linux box to use. [06:25] frankie_: what does --_> lspci | grep eth* <--- and ---> dmesg | grep Ethernet <--- say (big letters is important in linux)? === mel is now known as Guest77728 [06:26] OK, was just wondering if there were encryption issues, etc. [06:26] !pm | glades20 [06:26] glades20: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [06:27] glades20, you can either put the themes in ~/.themes or you can put them in /usr/share/themes using root privileges [06:27] oh sorry [06:27] sjovan: the first one gave me info on the host bridge, the pci bridge, and the ethernet controller. the second command just gave me a new line [06:28] I'm not too familier with terminal commands [06:28] so by putting wakeonlan and the hardware mac that pc is going be open to reseave WOL pack [06:29] so, use sudo? [06:29] glades20, if you're not stressed about the security of your themes folder, you could just do "sudo chmod -R a+rw /usr/share/themes" in a terminal and then you could write to the folder using the file manager [06:29] fous_, you need to configure WOL in the bios of the receiving machine [06:29] if you just have the 1 user.. you may as well ust install to the .themes directory [06:30] oh ok, I thought that command was only good for external drives [06:30] well if it is [06:30] frankie_: and you did use a big E on the second command? so the right card got listed? [06:30] and still nothin [06:30] sjovan: yeah, "Ethernet" [06:30] How do i add the hardy-backports ? [06:30] "gksudo nautilus"? [06:30] !backports [06:30] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [06:31] ziesemer: isn't that a problem sign if nothing get listed on ---> dmesg | grep Ethernet <--- ? [06:31] ok guys thnx ill try that chmod thing [06:31] glades, try "gksudo nautilus"? [06:31] ? [06:31] Think that would let you use the "file manager" you may be more accustomed to as "root". [06:32] how can I find out if someone installed the 32 or the 64 bit version of Ubuntu? [06:32] carandraug, uname -a [06:32] "gksudo nautilus" can really mess things up if you are not VERY carefull [06:32] sjovan, I don't know. I'd personally just be interested in ifconfig. If it shows a MAC, etc., it's communicating with the hardware. [06:32] yeah, I don't like to leave root terminals or filemanagers open [06:32] cwillu: thanks [06:33] dr_willis, true, but I'd prefer that over loosening security privs. [06:33] I just need to get used to digging in this system deeper. I'm good with pc's, but a total noob to linux [06:33] carandraug: using uname -m [06:33] sjovan, is it that frankie_ just isn't getting a DHCP IP addr? [06:33] carandraug: wait nevermind [06:33] i perfer 'sudo mc' in a BRIGHT red terminal window :) [06:33] Even better. [06:34] anyone know of a good GPU stress test program made for linux [06:34] what does sudo mc do? [06:34] ziesemer: jeez... why didn't i think about that (oh yeah, that's right... it 7:33 AM and I'm drunk) :) good tip [06:34] smm289, glxgears ;) [06:34] frank23, mc is a CLI filemanager [06:34] frankie_, runs mc as root. [06:34] CLI? [06:34] command-line interface === nate_ is now known as C0L7 [06:34] command line interface. [06:34] frankie_: does ifconfig show a mac adress and stuff? [06:34] <[Solars]> erm are there overclocking tools in ubuntu? [06:34] root? [06:34] Cool Leet InterFace [06:34] :) [06:35] !root [06:35] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [06:35] [Solars]: for which part of the computer? [06:35] !sudo | frankie_ [06:35] frankie_: 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) [06:35] !root | frankie_ [06:35] frankie_: please see above [06:35] <[Solars]> Ziroday i was thinking of tweaking the e8500 cpu [06:35] sjovan: ok, i get it lol. and last time i typed the ifconfig command it just opened the next line...not giving me anything. [06:35] <[Solars]> w/o rebooting to the bios [06:36] frankie_: on eth0 that is... [06:36] <[Solars]> maybe monitor heat and fan rpms === mel is now known as Guest55137 [06:36] frankie_: when you just type ifconfig (nothing more then that) ? [06:36] i dont think its detecting my nvidia card right [06:36] kingtekrin: why? [06:37] the box u want to wake up all u need to turn on is the bios config? [06:37] the settings on the bios? [06:37] well, when cedega ran my card it said it failed the first two tests [06:37] fous_, yes [06:37] and in the .conf file, it says most of my nvidia stuff is unknown [06:37] sjovan: ok, i did the ifconfig eth0, and it gave me a mac address and some other info on what i think is the ethernet card [06:37] [Solars]: you may find this article interesting http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=598&num=1 [06:37] frankie_, can you pastebin it? [06:37] kingtekrin: run (in terminal) "glxgears" and see if it says.. ah, just a minute [06:38] Err, you probably can't copy/paste, if you don't have inet. :-) [06:38] ziesemer: i would have to type it all out on the mac, are you really that mean to noobs? :p [06:38] and if that does not work ? [06:38] Just thought of it. Sneakernet? [06:38] fous_, no idea [06:38] kingtekrin: one of the first lines should say 'something or the other enabled' - sorry, don't remember specifically [06:38] i mean don't I have to install something on ununtu ssesrver [06:39] nope... [06:39] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [06:39] Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual [06:39] or something that the box can understand to wake up [06:39] i c [06:39] xiongchiamiov, kingtekrin, direct rendering you mean [06:39] frankie_, I guess, most importantly do you see an IP address? How about bytes RX, TX? [06:39] amdpox: ah yes, that's it - thanks [06:39] kingtekrin: can you put the contents of your xorg.conf in a pastebin please? [06:39] frankie_, and the first 3 sections (6 alphanumeric chars) of the MAC? [06:40] ziesemer: i don't see anything that looks like an IP, atleast not the ##.##.##.###etc i am used to [06:40] sure which one tho? the .conf1? [06:40] I have an HP DV6000 Series Notebook and I cant get my webcam to work. Is there something i need to download? [06:40] ziesemer: but i do see the bytes, TX, RX and all that good stuff [06:40] kingtekrin: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:40] could someone give me the link :D [06:40] Anyone know what would keep aMSN from connecting? When everything else does. [06:40] kingtekrin: pastebin.com [06:40] frankie_: Are you getting positive TX / RX counts? [06:40] C0L7, a driver usually [06:41] frankie_: what does ---> route <--- say? [06:41] ziesemer: 2867 RX and 417 TX [06:41] Route probably won't have anything good, without an IP on eth0. [06:41] !webcam > C0L7 [06:41] C0L7, please see my private message [06:41] http://pastebin.com/d3b970189 [06:41] but it doesnt even say the word nvidia [06:41] sjovan: sudo route you mean? remember i am a noob, i need the whole command..... [06:41] frankie_: Given the 1st 3 bytes (6 alphanumeric chars) of the MAC, let's see if it's actually the NIC card you want? [06:42] route should work w/o sudo. [06:42] well the settings are enables nothin [06:42] Is anyone familiar with the newsgroup reader application: Pan? [06:42] kingtekrin: you add Driver "nvidia" under the Device section [06:42] kevin_ you can try asking on that apps respective channel or forum or mailing list [06:43] ziesemer: 00:07:e9 [06:43] frankie_: nah, route would do, but ziesemer got a good point :) [06:43] Ziroday, what is the apps channel? [06:43] O_O ya but there are like four more xorg files and only one of them says anything about it [06:43] I tried installing ubuntu but it didn't detect my DVD drive [06:43] help! [06:43] it loaded the installer, then it said I need a driver [06:43] kingtekrin: what is the usage of the other 4? are they backups? [06:44] kevin_: look on the programs website [06:44] only one says backup [06:44] 怎么用gcc [06:44] frankie_, http://www.coffer.com/mac_find/?string=00%3A07%3Ae9 shows that as an Intel card, so that's probably right... [06:44] complex_number: what drive is it? [06:44] DVD multi recorder [06:44] one says failsafe one says backup and one has a funny number after it, and one has conf.1 [06:44] How do I install .package files? What handles them? [06:44] high speed [06:44] shouldn't an icmp route redirect be sent if a route on the default gw is pointing on another host on the same network? [06:44] ha aight [06:44] how do I check what it is [06:45] I forgot [06:45] dmesg? [06:45] complex_number: laptop? please find some more info srom the manifactures site [06:45] it's a computer [06:45] kingtekrin: the one with the odd numbers is an automatic backup made by dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver - it's a timestamp [06:45] I built it from scratch [06:45] frankie_, sjovan : I'm prob going to loose my inet connection soon. I'd concentrate on the DHCP / IP address issue. He's clearly getting traffic, just no "IP" in the real sense... [06:45] complex_number: and you dont know what it is? is it sata connected? [06:45] well the conf.1 file is the only one listing nvidia [06:46] kingtekrin: try as whoever that was suggested and tell us how it goes [06:46] DHCP may be disabled / broken, or an external issue is preventing him from receiving any DHCP packets... [06:46] it uses satA [06:46] ziesemer: frankie_ : yeah, this doesn't look like a hw problem at all.... check the cabel, restart the router. maby a static ip could help? [06:46] SATA [06:46] jim [06:46] How do I install .package files? What handles them? [06:46] kingtekrin: the one that linux uses hase the name xorg.conf. all the others are backup and stuff [06:46] i'll reboot router [06:46] does ubuntu support SATA dvd drives? [06:46] i dont know how to add nvidia without screwing something up [06:46] complex_number: yes [06:46] A static IP would help troubleshoot, at least. It'd narrow it down to a DHCP issue, really, if everything else works. [06:47] well it doesn't support mine [06:47] brb [06:47] kingtekrin: just a moment [06:47] kingtekrin: can i show you my xorg.conf to get an idea? [06:47] sure [06:47] lol [06:47] http://7g.pri.ee/mine.conf [06:48] kingtekrin: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?diff=m1e37c731 [06:48] kingtekrin: http://7g.pri.ee/mine.conf . have a look where it says fglrx in mine [06:48] ziesemer: nah, but time for bed. say good night to frankie_ from me (if he got logged off now). this is his interfaces btw ---> http://pastebin.com/d1dcbc690 [06:48] good night every one [06:48] jim yours is scary [06:48] lol [06:49] How do I find out what DVD drive I have [06:49] kingtekrin: did you get that diff I sent you? [06:49] I'm running fedora [06:49] and I want to install ubuntu [06:49] yes [06:49] kingtekrin: mine is what ati wants in full detail [06:49] so i add just that line? [06:49] kingtekrin: for starters, yep [06:49] sjovan: good night [06:49] ok, i rebooted the router [06:50] I have a Pioneer SATA DVD burner, and I can't install ubuntu [06:50] kingtekrin: I'm off to make some maruchan, so I may not respond for a few minutes [06:50] kingtekrin: what line? that line >>> Driver "nvidia" [06:50] it needs a driver for my Pioneer SATA DVD burner to install [06:50] complex_number: does the cd load as a live cd or whatever? [06:50] ok, so it seems that the two guys that were trying to help me and my little internet issue have gone to bed, can anyone help? [06:51] I'm using the alternate CD [06:51] because the live CD doesn't work [06:51] yep [06:51] complex_number: and the installation starts? [06:51] NO [06:51] frankie__, I'm still here, but will be shortly trying to move my EVDO device... [06:51] kingtekrin: add it! [06:51] as soon as it loads it says needs a driver for the cdrom drive [06:51] and I don't have it [06:51] ziesemer: ok, i rebooted the router. what next? [06:52] Hmm.. ive never seen a cdrom/dvd drive need a driver... [06:52] If you still don't see an IP address, try configuring a static. If that works, it'd pretty much narrow it down to a DHCP issue. [06:52] why is ubuntu making african noises? [06:52] "You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again." [06:52] complex_number: give me a sec to think. the disk is burned properly right? [06:52] ubuntu is an african word [06:52] yes [06:52] Tvustia, becuase ubuntu is a african word. SO it has a whole animal/african theme going on.. [06:52] kingtekrin: how did you open the file to edit? sudo ...?? [06:53] ...no....i went to the etc. file and the x11 file...

[06:53] Tvustia, hardy heron was the code name for the 8.04 release.. [06:53] kingtekrin: well done! welcome to the linux world... you are not permitted to do it as a normal user! [06:54] O_O [06:54] kingtekrin: at a terminal type this : sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:54] I like the GUI though, best ive seen === pass is now known as passive [06:54] Tvustia, its just gnome. :) [06:54] gnome is sexy [06:54] when i do it that way...it opens empty [06:55] Tvustia, i find it rather plain like a... err... i better not continue that chain... :) this is a Faimly channel [06:55] like... a blank .conf file [06:55] haha [06:55] kingtekrin: what is that you pasted in pastebin? [06:55] kingtekrin: that means you typed the filepath wrong [06:56] um.... [06:56] pardon me for this one instance.... [06:56] kingtekrin: and actually, should use gksudo rather than sudo to open gui apps [06:56] kingtekrin@kingtekrin-laptop:~$ sudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf [06:56] [sudo] password for kingtekrin: [06:56] /usr/share/themes/Peace/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:55: Clearlooks configuration option "sunkenmenu" is not supported and will be ignored.

Just needed a second opinion.

[07:51] hi [07:51] complex_number: I would recommend 32 [07:51] core 2 duo 3.12 Ghz [07:51] whats the command to see what all services has been started [07:51] When i try to sudo rm -rf a folder it says 'Cannot remove directory 'dirname': File exists. Any ideas? [07:51] on ubuntu [07:51] complex_number: Assuming the hardware supports it, you might want to think about what you're going to use it for? [07:51] errr, Uni work [07:51] Flynsarmy: What directory are you trying to remove? [07:51] Japanese stuff [07:51] jim_p: no...the one that only reconfigures the resolution/ graphics card [07:52] whats the command to see what all services has been started on ubuntu server [07:52] kaushal: ps x ? [07:52] * PucKid sits down and sits quiet [07:52] complex_number: for example, if using it for software development amd64 is probably the better choice since it is easier to get configured to build both 64-bit and 32-bit software and packages, then the other way around. [07:52] can any 1 help me ? [07:52] toshiba: We won't know until you ask your question :) [07:52] kingtekrin: displayconfig-gtk ? [07:52] I don't really need to build 64 bit software [07:53] www.mohaveexperiment.com [07:53] ok [07:53] I have an assignment to add a log sniffer to postgesql [07:53] no..it was close to the first one you gave ,e [07:53] icenine: why ar eyou posting that link [07:53] you got to try, windows mojave [07:53] but I can do that with 32 bit code [07:53] www.mojaveexperiment.com [07:53] jim_p: no it was close to the first one you gave me [07:53] I'm reading about subnets. I came across this. Is this true? "Additionally, the first and last networks are traditionally not seen as valid for assigning hosts to, unless the networking equipments supports it. " [07:53] complex_number: If it has more then 3GM of RAM, and64 is a good choice, too [07:53] i want to play ps3 on my pc , how ? [07:53] Jordan_U, It's one created by sabnzbd but it contained what i assumed is a trojan (.exe file) that i ran just to see what'd happen [07:53] I have exactly 4 GB of ram [07:53] Did you know it's really vista!? [07:53] Jordan_U, So no system files or anything inside [07:53] kingtekrin: i dont know of enything else [07:53] toshiba, that is illegal, sorry [07:54] please take it somewhere else [07:54] ok [07:54] thanks [07:54] Why is it that the du command shows a greater total of bytes used by files than the windows explorer for the same files? Do folders have their own size (even when there are no files in them) in Linux? [07:54] toshiba [07:54] kingtekrin: have a look at my xorg.conf and make yours, including the proper resolution [07:54] complex_number: 32-bit will usually only be able to make use of at most, 3.2GB, depending on how big the PCI IOMEM window for the video chipset is [07:54] toshiba, what are you tring to do [07:54] play PS3 roms [07:54] ubuntu is windows xp with some extra themes.. --xkcd [07:54] illegal [07:54] not if he owns the roms... [07:54] lol @ icenine [07:54] no, even if he owns it [07:54] still illegal [07:55] Flynsarmy: What is the output of "ls -ld /path/to/directory" ? [07:55] to play them on the comp? [07:55] yes [07:55] that's the law, unfortunately [07:55] seems strange to me [07:55] It is not illegal to own backed up software, if the party involved has a physical copy with proof of purchase. [07:55] yes, but to play it is another natter [07:55] Sa[i]nT: but that isn't the point in discussion [07:56] how to play PS3 in ur PC ? [07:56] dose someone use Ekiga? [07:56] toshiba: you can't [07:56] its like saying you cant put Ubuntu on a pc that came wih windows [07:56] playing it on an unofficial device is not legal [07:56] R U sure ? [07:56] complex_number: backing up the roms is [07:56] Depends on the legal jurisdiction [07:56] Jordan_U, drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-09-28 16:50 _FAILED_folder_name/ [07:56] jim_p: you did it :D [07:56] complex_number: chaps, lets take it off-topic if you want to talk futher on it [07:56] it is like saying, you can't hack windows, and install it on a ps3 [07:56] Backing up the roms is legal, playing them on a computer isn't [07:56] Everything is illegal. Your chances of getting caught even with the media scare, is slim to none. Party on, and enjoy the realm of infinite free tech. [07:56] toshiba, theres plenty of guides, just use google, you probably wont find any info here regardless if its illegal or not [07:57] Sa[i]nT: Depending on the software it may not be able to *have* a backup, just illegal to make one :) ( under DMCA circumventing DRM is illegal on its own ) [07:57] kingtekrin: of course i did it. a proper made xorg beats any tool of configuration [07:57] morals != law [07:57] guys, please lets take it to ubuntu-offtopic [07:57] that's what I thought [07:57] US free trade agreement, WIPO, DMCA [07:57] ok guys thanks [07:57] Fortunately, the DMCA only applies in the USA [07:57] kingtekrin: did you made the entire xorg.conf? [07:57] IntuitiveNipple, and Australia [07:57] Flynsarmy: That is really odd [07:57] jim_p: yes [07:58] at least, they have modified out laws [07:58] complex_number: stop now [07:58] Flynsarmy: Can you remove all of the files within that directory? [07:58] Hi [07:58] and its all back to normal :D [07:58] im still having problem with the "kldstat" not found in ubuntu guest OS when installing vmware tools [07:58] serious ops in here, back to my question though [07:58] I'm reading about subnets. I came across this. Is this true? "Additionally, the first and last networks are traditionally not seen as valid for assigning hosts to, unless the networking equipments supports it. " [07:58] kingtekrin: well done. welcome to the linux world where tools fail and guides work [07:58] lol [07:58] jim_p: I think im in love [07:58] felipe1982: thats not an ubuntu question [07:58] * kingtekrin loves linux [07:58] felipe1982: what do you mean by 'first' and 'last' [07:59] I have a little problem i guess :) [07:59] sziasztok [07:59] Jordan_U, sudo rm -rf * inside the folder worked but when i ls -a again i get: .fuse_hidden0000008d00000007 [07:59] ikonia: where to ask this Q then? [07:59] felipe1982: search the channels such as ##networking for appropriate dicsussion [07:59] Flynsarmy: * doesn't expand to dotfiles [07:59] * PoisonArrow splinters in two. [07:59] kingtekrin: lol, i may not be here in a while, is there anything else you want to ask? [07:59] Why is it that the du command shows a greater total of bytes used by files than the windows explorer for the same files? Do folders have their own size (even when there are no files in them) in Linux? [07:59] Anyone else got the Ubuntu Ultimate thing? [08:00] felipe1982: On a sub-net, say 192.168.0.1/24, 192.16.0.0 is the sub-net itself, and no host gets the 0.0 address, and 192.168.255.255 is the broadcast address, that all NICs on that sub-net listen to [08:00] anyone using an M3N78-VM motherboard? [08:00] Why doesn't feenode allow proxies? [08:00] what version of python does ubuntu use?"

(i.e. user@computer instead of user@network)? [08:00] 2.5.2? [08:00] Nextwave: a friend of mine,. what is the problem? [08:01] Does ubuntu use python 2.5.2?

Version 2.5.2-2ubuntu4.1 (hardy), package size 2830 kB, installed size 10188 kB [08:01] Hey guys, I have a Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini, and I was wondering if I could install Sabayon on it. This is my question, I have an idea on how to do it and it would go something like this: [08:01] Once I put the Sabayon LiveCD in, select the external HDD as the primary HDD to install on, once I've done that, I don't install GRUB since there's no real reason too, then after it's installed on the external HDD, set my external HDD to the primary boot device, does this sound right? Just needed a second opinion. [08:01] kingtekrin: give me a sec to search the "database" of my head . mmmmmmm [08:01] jim_p: video was a problem .. but its not now.. was able to get the nvidia drivers installed but the sound is causing static badly. [08:01] maxtor211: how is this anything to do with ubuntu ? [08:01] Hello, Anyone know how to configure a HD3650 to work properly and also how to set the display to 1680x1050 ? [08:01] OK let me rephrase this [08:01] im still having problem with the "kldstat" not found in ubuntu guest OS when installing vmware tools [08:01] maxtor211: Try #sabayon [08:01] maxtor211: You probably ought to ask in the Sabayon chanenls [08:01] If I wanted to install Ubuntu on the external HDD [08:02] whats the command to see what all services has been started on ubuntu server [08:02] Nextwave: it may be the headphones/speakers not connectin properly on the output of the mb! [08:02] maxtor211: Please don't do that. Just go ask the sabayon people. [08:02] kaushal, ps aux [08:02] jim_p: negative. [08:02] hi [08:02] i dont understand how maxtor's question isnt a ubuntu question O_O [08:02] hi [08:03] Flannel, ideas on how to get rid of it? [08:03] Nextwave: is some mixer channel maxed out? check it in alsamixer [08:03] I have a question about Ubuntu [08:03] kingtekrin: Sabayon is a distribution based on Gentoo [08:03] Flynsarmy: What sort of a file is it anyway? and where? [08:03] kingtekrin, its a sabayon question [08:03] can anyone tell me quickly if it's possible to use the terminal for my local machine instead of the network? (i.e. user@computer instead of user@network)? if so, how? [08:03] kingtekrin: please oh please, do an lsusb [08:03] ....but how is installing ubuntu on a maxtor mini a sabayon question when it is clearly a ubuntu question... O_O [08:03] jim_p: checked that.. nothing rammed up.. its an issue that is all over google lol.. I'm almost tempted to install a sound card just to get around this issue. [08:04] Are there any drivers out there for an ATI Radeon X300 SE graphics card?

So you can write to NTFS, etc? [08:05] Flannel, yes, read/writing to ntfs partitions is not the problem [08:05] well...the microsoft cam is on now [08:05] but...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [08:06] Flannel, file. i cant cd into it [08:06] tide: just ask the question [08:07] C0L7: It's in my PPA, as a DKMs package [08:07] Flynsarmy: Hmm, are you sure nothing is using that file? It may be getting deleted and then recreated right away. [08:07] Flannel, how would i kill any process writing to it? [08:07] jim_p: ok.. I'll have to try it again then, i built this PC for the customer and for some reason its been giving sound problems.. I'll reinstall and make sure that everything is set, I'll check alsa site, problem is.. the husband of this girl is a techy too.. and got in there and GOD knows what he installed.

[08:09] C0L7: It's for all architecture, and being DKMS it will rebuild automatically if the kernel is updated [08:09] jim_p: I'm a Mandriva 2008 user, so this ubuntu is a bit different.. and the techy is a windows admin lol [08:09] Nextwave: you are welcome, but... what info? [08:09] thanks bro [08:09] smatz: the PS1 prompt on your termianl is normally user@hostname [08:09] Flannel, got it, thanks for the help [08:09] jim_p: that you were able to get the motherboard to work info LOL [08:09] ikonia: u mean for raid or everything?

[08:13] tide: yes, not a true hardware raid solution [08:13] tide: so if your getting hartz@hartz thats "user@hostname" which is what you want [08:13] smats^^ [08:13] question: i hate my brother [08:14] tide: sorry [08:14] ikonia: yes that i know, thats why im using an software to build an array. === [ifroog|zzz] is now known as [ifroog] [08:14] !software [08:14] A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [08:14] tide: ahhh so your using a software raid array, I assume you are using mdadm ? [08:14] ikonia: true [08:14] tide: ok, what raid type is it 0,1,5,6 ? [08:14] ikonia: raid6 [08:14] IntuitiveNipple: it's saying that i have it installed, but none of the folders (i.e., /etc/vsftpd/, which is supposed to hold a config file) exist... [08:15] tide: what raid is your /boot partition on ? [08:15] the video on my ATI Radeon X300 SE graphics card is all blinky..... [08:15] smatz: To check the files it should have installed, do dpkg-query -L vsftpd [08:15] smatz: You could try a reinstall: sudo apt-get --reinstall install vsftpd [08:15] ikonia: its on another disk wich is free from both arrays, single one. [08:15] good morning [08:16] I'm dual-booting xubuntu and slamd64, and put in a new soundcard, and it's detected in ubuntu but not slamd64.. how would I go about finding "what's working" in ubuntu in order to move that over to slamd64? [08:16] Why is it that the du command shows a greater total of bytes used by files than the windows explorer for the same files? Do folders have their own size (even when there are no files in them) in Linux? [08:16] IntuitiveNipple: it listed a bunch of files for me...trying the reinstall now [08:16] tide: very good, so it's booting, but complaining about the root file system not being available I guess. Do you know if the initrd has raid 6 personalities installed in it ? [08:16] i have a home network setup, with a modem, router, and a switch with about 6-7 wired connections. my brother cut one of the wired connection lines and crimped RJ45 ends on, and installed a router on it (it was the line to one of the desktop computers) now i can not print over the network or file transfer with that computer when i do //hostname/share even if i do //ipaddres/share it times out immediately (is it because of the router)? [08:16] tide: I know it has 0,1,5 [08:17] ikonia: can i pm u with an error message ive gotten? [08:17] tide: use a pastebin then anyone in the channel can see it [08:17] !pastebin | tide [08:17] tide: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [08:17] When I right click nm-applet, and click on, "edit wireless networks" when I click on one, should I get prompted with a password for the keyring? [08:17] Daft_Punk: why do you have a modem and a router [08:17] ikonia: ok 2 sec [08:17] Okay, i guess it did not work, I have a dv6000 HP laptop, does anyone know why this still didnt work after i installed the package? [08:17] ikonia, because a modem wont connect to several wired connections at once like a router does?

If you can't do that, log a bug on launchpad against initrd OR mdadm [08:20] hi [08:20] ikonia: ok, i know i have an problem with 1 of the 10 disks wich im gonna remove and try again, but will also do the things u wrote :) [08:20] Daft_Punk: would have been easier if you plugged in a second switch instead of a second router :) [08:20] tide: super [08:20] anyone who knows the packet education-mathematics 0.824ubuntu2 ? I have some problems with it. Can't install it [08:21] Khisanth, i did not plug in a router, my BROTHER did [08:21] Khisanth, im asking if he is screwing up the network now (he did it to steal my internet)... [08:21] Daft_Punk: don't be pedantic, he's trying to help you [08:21] it would have been easier if you brother plugged in a second switch instead of a second router then :) [08:21] Daft_Punk: take it to #networking - it's not an ubuntu issue [08:22] because now you have to configure that second switch ... although some routers have settings that will make it act as a switch [08:22] Khisanth: this is not networking support - please allow it to move to ##networking [08:22] Khisanth, PM [08:22] so if I have 4GB of ram, 64 bit is the best choice right?

[08:31] not at all [08:31] flash can be used with the aid of nspluginwrapper [08:31] in fact 64 bit is slower in some benchmarks than 32 bit [08:31] complex_number: no [08:31] notably in games [08:32] <^paradox^> im trying to share the printer an hp psc 1110 over a network with two computers. the computer the printers hooked up to is a windows vista home pc. im trying to share it to this pc running ubuntu 8.04 [08:32] complex_number: you've started your converation by saying you didn't really understand 32/64 bit software, now you talking "fact" about it being slower [08:32] just wait for 128-bit! [08:32] complex_number: if you /think/ it's slower - don't use it, the rest of the world will move on [08:32] <^paradox^> ive installed samba, samba-common, smbfs. ive configured it and set the vista pc to share files and printers. the printer receives test pages sent to it but doesnt print them. they show up in the job list saying spooling and the printer physically tries to print them, but to no effect. [08:32] !howdy [08:32] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! === joe_nathan is now known as bagus [08:33] I just thought using 32 bit FF in 64 bit ubuntu might be slower than 32 bit ff in 32 bit ubuntu [08:33] <^paradox^> ive ran printing troubleshooter and opened the cups error log both of which ive put in this pastebin http://rafb.net/p/r113tc58.html [08:33] complex_number: no [08:33] complex_number: and you don't have to use 32bit firefox [08:33] you use nspluginwrapper right? [08:33] thats like saying using an n card with backwards compat. is slower than using a g card with a g router [08:34] complex_number: as you've just been told a few lines up [08:34] <^paradox^> please i really need help with this [08:34] complex_number, you can also use swfdec for basic flash support [08:35] ikonia: you'd recommend 64 bit ubuntu then, so I can use my 4 GIG, and enjoy a speed boost [08:35] complex_number: I don't think you'll get a speed boost [08:35] complex_number: I think you'll see them perform the same [08:35] hello [08:35] yep [08:35] complex_number, you get options the choice is yours [08:36] is nspluginwrapper slow? [08:36] complex_number: no [08:36] ok [08:36] complex_number: stop worrying about "speed" you won't see any performance increase, or slow down [08:36] ok [08:36] * complex_number has installed gentoo before [08:36] complex_number: what does that matter ? [08:37] complex_number: gentoo is nothing to do with ubuntu, or speed, or anything [08:37] ok [08:37] Is there a way to get rid of the stupid System Restart required applet in GNOME? [08:37] he knows how it feels to wait days for stuff to install :) [08:37] Gargantua: don't apply the updates that need a restart [08:38] There's really nothing that needs a restart. [08:38] this is linux ffs. [08:38] Gargantua: please watch your language [08:38] Gargantua: 1.) ffs - is that really needed, no, 2.) yes things need restarts, like a kernel update, or a gnome desktop update [08:38] Gargantua: how do you expect a gnome update to take effect without restarting gnome to pickup the changes [08:39] All I did was install the fglrx drivers. [08:39] anyone got any clever insights to my situation? dual-booting slamd64 and xubuntu, my new soundcard works with the fresh xubuntu install, and I'd like to somehow bump the configurations over to slamd64, where the soundcard is detected and everything but no sound occurs [08:39] can anyone guide me on installing my logitech QuickCam v11.1 ?? [08:39] ikonia, ever heard of restarting X? [08:39] Gargantua: yes, and that updates a kernel package [08:39] Gargantua: that doesnt always do it [08:39] Gargantua: just deal with it, like a real world senario [08:39] both distros are using xfce4 so that might be easy. sound was working in slamd64 with the onboard. new card's ca0106 === zer0 is now known as Guest55949 [08:40] Anyways, there's no way to just get of the applet? [08:40] Gargantua: right click it [08:40] Gargantua: hit remove, I think [08:40] No such thing heh [08:40] there's so many fracking audio servers/etc in linux... portaudio, pulse, arts, alsa, oss, jack... [08:41] probably missed a couple === Guest55949 is now known as zer0o [08:41] uouou: You'll probably get more support in a slackware (or slamd64 channel) [08:41] 有人么 [08:41] will UNetbootin overwrite the whole USB stick?

I figured here because the correct settings I need to pinpoint the problem are located in ubuntu [08:42] webcam install, logitech, quickcam... help anyone... i know i need a driver... can't seem to install the ones i find for download online... is there an "apt-get install" one out there..?? anyone..??? [08:43] ... [08:43] Gargantua: you could try killing the process, it will either do what you want or take the whole DE with it but you were going to do that anyway! :P [08:43] ikonia: which one? [08:43] bullgard4: the one that says "don't run badblocks, let fsck manage it [08:44] heh [08:44] ikonia: Yes I did. -- And did you read the question which I put here in this channel? [08:45] bullgard4: if you want to be smart about it, I suggest you take it to a more appropriate channel as this is not an ubuntu question, [08:45] bullgard4: your persistantly asking generic linux questions, and you respond with smart responses to people trying to offer you advice/help [08:46] ikonia: badblocks is a component of every recent Ubuntu distribution. [08:47] bullgard4: yes, so it's generic [08:47] bullgard4: your not asking something specific to ubuntu [08:47] ikonia: whats a good channel to get webcam installation help? [08:47] bullgard4: and your attitude towards people helping you is getting tiresome [08:47] Daps: for ubuntu - here [08:47] well...i need webcam help lol...no one has an answer tho [08:47] Daps: why are you requesting version info from me === mike is now known as Guest7059 [08:48] ikonia: because i saw your note to bullgard about appropriate channels, I been seeking help here about webcams for a few days now with no progress... [08:48] Daps: what is the camera USB device ID ? [08:48] I'm glad my acer cam worked immediantly with ubuntu. Hassle in the old versions. [08:49] Daps: - no I asked why you have just sent a ctcp version request to me [08:49] ikonia: a what? [08:49] Sa[i]nT: why are you sending ctcp requests to me now [08:49] Daps: what irc client are you using ? [08:49] irssi, your not hiding too much. [08:49] ikonia, like that? [08:49] Hey how do I install a font? [08:49] intuitiveNipple: how would i go about knowing the device ID ? [08:49] say like a .fon or a .ttf [08:49] Sa[i]nT: why did you do that after I just asked someone not to [08:50] Gargantua, install it in /home/user/.fonts [08:50] ikonia: Pidgin [08:50] Daft_Punk: like what ? [08:50] you didn't ask not to, you asked why [08:50] ikonia: I was wondering, from your reaction, I thought maybe like Air Force One's IRC, hijacked from the pentagon would show up lol. [08:50] Daps: I'll have a little look into that [08:50] ikonia, i did a whois on you, just seeing if that was the request [08:50] Daps: "lsusb" and the but you want is something like this: "ID 05ca:1836" [08:50] Daft_Punk, just copy/paste? [08:50] ikonia: what exactly did it do? [08:50] also what if I want it for all users? [08:50] Daps: it queries my client for information about my client [08:50] Gargantua, you might not have that folder, you may have to create it, just copy paste font files in there [08:51] Gargantua, remember it has a period infront of the .fonts so it is hidden (/home/user/.fonts) [08:51] ikonia: i'm new to linux, so i dunno why that happened [08:51] Yeah I know [08:51] also what if I want it for all users? [08:51] intuitiveNipple: ID 046d:08da is the ID [08:51] Daps: thanks, give me amo [08:51] it's kind of hard to accidently version somebody. [08:51] Gargantua, i am not sure about that, you could always copy it in the other users home folders? [08:52] heh [08:52] Daps: you need the gspca driver [08:52] Gargantua, try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=275202 [08:53] Daps: Try this - if you get a report, the driver is installed: modinfo gspca | grep -i '046d.*08da' [08:53] IntuitiveNipple: i've downloaded that driver, but i don't know how to run it [08:53] Ive got a plan to hire 20 VPS servers. Whats the best virtualization technology that is free that I could, for example, upload a bzip2'ed image of a disk so I could clone them to one another? [08:53] Daps: you don't 'run' it. Do you mean build it? [08:54] Id want to install ubuntu on one virtual disk, then bzip2 it and make all the vps servers use copies of it [08:54] AussieGuy: talk to the people your hiring the servers off, they will already have a method in place (probably) [08:54] intuitiveNipple: i guess so, compile it may be the word i'm looking for [08:54] 'doh [08:54] alias: usb:v046Dp08DAd*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* is the result i got [08:54] hey $chan [08:54] havent picked a company yet.....I heard openvz is pretty widespread? [08:55] Daps: Install it from my PPA - I maintain a whole bunch of web-cam drivers in DKMS packages to make it easy [08:55] whats that good for?

[08:56] we will top Alive [08:56] Hey guys, mind taking it elsewhere? thanks. #ubuntu-offtopic would be a good candidate [08:57] Flannel angry :( [08:57] i personally loved Discovery. [08:57] probably my home development environment (on a couple of different comps) will resemble something like Ubuntu/WinXP->VirtualBox->OpenVZ->Ubuntu [08:57] Daft_Punk: Not angry, just keeping this channel useful. We aren't trying to discourage conversations, just keep them in the proper channels. [08:58] Flannel, i was joking. [08:58] AussieGuy: Why are you seeking to virtualize an OS?

[09:23] toxicosmos: thanks [09:23] Jaffarkelshac:frankly i have some photos (in my ubuntu) [09:24] thanks to you Ziroday [09:24] Ziroday:ihave some photos i want to share it with my relatives [09:24] them just use share [09:24] unrar -e file.rar doesn't work but unrar e file.rar does? why drop the dash? [09:24] amanu: okay, and you want to send the photos? [09:24] Ziroday:i want to give access of my system to them to just see all [09:25] you can connect to shared folders on xp using smb://ip-address amanu [09:25] farvo: that one took me too long to figure out what i was doing wrong... [09:25] amanu: are they in your local network?

The best idea would be to zip them up and upload the to somewhere on the internet for them to download [09:27] amanu: unfortunatly giving them access to your system is very complicated [09:27] Ziroday:to send each photo of around 2.5 mb for me it takes around 5 min [09:27] Ziroday: ihave some hundredss [09:27] Ziroday:of a function [09:28] amanu: the best idea is to copy them to a dvd and mail it to them [09:28] Ziroday:cant i give them to acess my system to see once [09:28] later i will mail b coz it takes much time [09:28] in any case your it would still take 5 min for them to see the picture if they accessed your machine. [09:29] amanu maybe you can decrease the resolution of the pictures? [09:29] xrandr is just giving me jitter on both tvs i've tried it on, anyone know why this would be?

If you really need the latest packages you can run the unstable intrepid release which is currently at beta stage however this is extremely dangerous. You can also wait a month or so for intrepid to be released normally [09:30] it is, but with your slow speed, browsing your computer would be very slow amanu [09:30] amanu: you can convert them to a different format, lower the resolution and/or compress them [09:31] Jaffarkelshac:ok may be a slow to browse but can we do so/ [09:31] yes amanu, it can be done [09:31] amanu: and yes they can access your system, but it will be *extremely* slow and very very difficult to setup [09:32] amanu: as well as unsafe [09:32] your best option is to reduce res of pictures upload them [09:32] amanu: or mail them [09:34] there is a scale image in gimp for reduction resolution amanu [09:35] Any xrandr experts here?

There's a section called "Newer versions of Wine" discussing what you are interested in [11:20] jrib: ok [11:20] _fs: maybe a kernel bug: http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg279620.html [11:21] Hi. I'm trying to install g++-4.2 but it tells me that a dependency is not satisfied: libstdc++6-4.2-dev. So then I try to install libc++6-4.2-dev and it tells me that a dependency is not satisfied: g++-4.2. Wtf? [11:21] <_fs> blag: ok, in which case I'd have to replace the kernel? [11:21] gmic: pastebin the commands you ran and the full output. Also pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [11:22] is there a tool or a website to check the security of a server? (mailserver, open ports, bad settings) [11:22] DIFH-iceroot: there are a few online port scanners (shields up! for example) [11:22] I didn't use xterm. I double clicked the deb packages. What's the generic xterm command to install a deb package? [11:22] jrib: i got this http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [11:23] any tiff readers for ubuntu? [11:23] erUSUL: thx [11:23] carrera: gimp? [11:23] gmic: why are you double clicking deb packages instead of installing from the repositories? [11:24] Hydromethod, thanks but it's a huge app [11:24] jrib, because I have no internet connection on my ubuntu (chatting from win xp) [11:24] Aaqil: First, open a terminal window (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). Then add the repository's key to your system's list of trusted APT keys by copy and pasting the following: wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - . Have you done that? [11:25] that would be my guess, but back up everything you can to something external, backup all of the kernels in /, and then throw in an updated kernel. when was this machine installed or last kernel updated? [11:25] gmic: where did you get the .deb's from? [11:25] carrera: do you want to just read the images and do nothing on them? [11:25] packages.ubuntu.org [11:25] _fs: see my last message in the channel [11:25] jrib: yup i did that [11:26] HymnToLife, yessir, I just want to be able to read scanned docs [11:26] _fs: well, you will also have to point grub to the updated kernel, of course [11:26] <_fs> blag: not normally in charge of this machine, just trying to help a mate out. I'd say it's been over a year. It was instlaled in june 2007, doubt itd been updated since then [11:26] Eye of Gnome only shows the first page of a tiff doc [11:26] gmic: try installing from a terminal with: dpkg -i *.deb (in the right directory). You also need to make sure you've satisfied all of the dependencies yourself [11:26] carrera: then try eog (Gnome) or Kuickshow/Gwenview/Okular (KDE) [11:26] Aaqil: no errors or output? [11:26] HymnToLife, thanks [11:27] <_fs> blag: i'll start there then. should I just be using the latest version of the kernel or what? It's running ubuntu 7.04 [11:27] jrib: it asked my password then output OK [11:27] Aaqil: then move on to the next step.

[11:30] hi@all, i got a problem with my webcam in my acer aspire one; ubuntu crashes everytime i try to access it (via skype or any other program) [11:30] _fs: i would play it safe and see if you can get the latest kernel for 7.04. on the other hand, the actual kernel may be a little messed up, so you may want to try replacing that with the same version (-16) as before [11:30] jrib: output >> Reading package lists... Done [11:30] jrib, that's exactly what I was talking about in my original question. I am about to satisfy dependencies and one of the is g++. G++ tells me I need to install libc++. But then libc++ tells me I need to install g++. So I'm stuck. I'll use xterm and try to install the packages. Will copy xterm output. Will then come back and pastebin the output and sources.list. Will you be around? [11:30] HymnToLife, then EOG doesn't work. cause it only shows first page of tiff docs [11:30] Aaqil: you're done. You should have an update for wine in your update-manager [11:30] carrera: I'm not familiar with Add/Remove, but it seems to sort the packages in categories, and other stuff like that [11:30] while Synaptic just shows you the list of packages, and that's that [11:30] <_fs> blag: alright, I'll give that a try. Is it as simple as swapping the files out and pointing grub at the new kernel? [11:30] _fs: at any rate, i need to get to bed, as ive reached the end of my knowledge on the subject and my sleep [11:30] jrib: oh u mean now i should update my ubuntu? coz there are updates available [11:31] What on Ubuntu would cause severe 2D performance degradation? Using the same drivers, software, DE, WM and more on Arch Linux, my Core 2 Duo system with dedicated graphics card flies (as it should), but is absolute crap on Ubuntu [11:31] gmic: yeah, using dpkg may sort that out for you since they seem to depend on each other [11:31] HymnToLife, I've found packages in Synaptic that are not in Add/Remove [11:31] _fs: i think it is, but, truth be told, ive never done it [11:31] Aaqil: yeah [11:31] hello does gutsy come preinstalled with the openoffice database program?

[13:43] Ileden: yup [13:43] WDC: it is, although in my experience us.archive.ubuntu.com was never a *very* stable repository (although it might have gotten better now, since i last checked) [13:43] Ileden: I should join too, but I'm trying to keep my channels to bare minimum [13:43] how do i lowlevelformat in ubuntu [13:43] Can someone help me get divx streaming in Firefox.... its working with Windows, but the MoviePlayer shows up in firefox but doesn't play any videos :-/ [13:43] LjL: E: Package python2.4-dev has no installation candidate [13:43] s/mum$/mal/ [13:43] its the AGP version of the Radeon 2600 [13:43] WDC: you must first type "sudo apt-get update" for the new sources.list to go into effect [13:44] oh [13:44] Myrtti: Ah, understandable :) [13:44] LjL: woot [13:44] atlef: low level format what? i only knew that term for pretty old hard drives [13:44] so noone help me whit a game problem? [13:44] Ileden: just came here because a friend asked :-P [13:44] Myrtti: No problem for me, since this is my second client (I haven't yet looked up using multiple networks with irssi) [13:44] Fructose, just try using flashplugin-nonfree, run firefox in a console and see if you can get info as to why its crashing. [13:44] Hi all. I have a piece of software that is an IPTV 'client' for a feed here at my uni. It's windows only but I've got it working in Wine. The oly problem with it I now have is that if I have IPmasq running the client loses 'connection' to the multiccast feed. [13:45] LjL: my usb stick, it starts writing at the right speed then slows to a halt [13:45] Jimm-: I don't think you know what you're talking about. This is a long-standing issue. [13:45] Anyone have any thoughts why? [13:45] Ileden: use /connect instead of /server and you'll get two networks :-P [13:45] atlef: you don't low level format a USB stick. you can, of course, just format it, see "man mkfs" [13:45] how do I configure the host in no-ip to be the same as if I write the ip, and default to port 80 ? [13:45] Fructose, ok I just assumed because you did't define what your problem was. [13:45] Ileden: (I have six networks in my irssi) [13:45] tavi: the latest versions of america's army don't support linux. that's about all i know about it. Community documentation on it here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AmericasArmy [13:45] LjL: well i have fornated several times, does not help [13:46] atlef: it really *halts*? [13:46] can you help me for enable desktop effects on ubuntu 7.10 [13:46] Jimm-: What? I said exactly what my problem was. Firefox crashes, uninstalled a package, now no audio. [13:46] LjL: Okay, got the package, but when ./configureing pygtk i get configure: error: could not find Python headers [13:46] Myrtti: Ok, that's easy then :) But the bigger problem is I've programmed a simple usability enhancement for irssi, and it'll probebly need some tweaking to work in multiple networks... [13:47] LjL: not completely, but it slows to a crawl, from ca 10mb/s to 1mb/s === marko_ is now known as marko-_- [13:47] Fructose, I assume if you knew why it was crashing, you wouldn't be here? [13:47] WDC: why are you compiling pygtk manually? (i guess you are since you're using configure). it's in the repositories. [13:47] LjL: What a world lol [13:47] LjL: What's it under? [13:47] Jimm-: Then you make really bad assumptions. Just because I know that it is crashing doesn't mean I know a solution that stops crashing and gets me audio. [13:47] ushimitsudoki: [13:48] atlef: err, that's pretty normal if it's a USB 1.0, or otherwise not very performant, USB stick. the 10MB/s you see at the beginning is an illusion, it's just caching into RAM and not writing to the stick, and that's perfectly normal [13:48] i installed [13:48] putted some files [13:48] Myrtti: then again, when I get it to work with multiple networks, I can release it, which would be nice... hmm, maybe I really should start working on that :) [13:48] but no file to click and play [13:48] WDC: python-gtk2 (and python-gtk2-dev if you need that too) i believe. [13:48] !software > WDC (WDC, see the private message from Ubotu) [13:48] WDC, please see my private message [13:48] LjL: it is usb2 and a corsair voyager gt [13:48] LjL: Oh. I was trying py*** [13:48] Ileden: blog about it, and the world will follow. If it's nice and usable, I'll have a look too and perhaps blog about it too [13:49] hey. how can i change the default system language? I have only english values in /etc/environment. dpkg-reconfigure locales doesn't give ask me any questions, unlike in debian, which i am used to. so how does this work here? [13:49] LjL: and i've never had these problems before today [13:49] LjL: Thank god I got the .deb. SO MANY dependencies [13:50] DawnLight: You can select "Language Support" from the admin menu (I think - not on GNOME, but it is there or settings if my memory serves) [13:50] Myrtti: it's really simple - only pastes empty lines when there's inactivity - but it's a great and neat visualization for me :) [13:50] atlef: try running "sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sdwhatever" on your usb stick and see the rates it reports, if it works [13:50] is there a dutch channel of ubuntu? [13:50] WDC: wait, you used apt-get install, not literally "got the .deb", right? [13:50] LjL: will do, thanks [13:50] DawnLight: You can enable complex character entry and select languages from the login screen as well after the various language support is installed [13:50] !nl | iljcu [13:50] iljcu: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [13:50] ty [13:50] LjL: Yes.

But I'm in the process of writing my own blog system, so maybe when that's completed :D [13:51] ushimitsudoki: i'd like to use the system's tools and not the GUI for this. I'd like to actually know what it is doing [13:51] server biling.zicom.pl [13:51] WDC: now that you have the ubuntu repositories properly enabled, remember to "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade" regularly, to get security updates [13:51] Ileden: tsktsk ;-) [13:51] How to switch between urdu(arabic) and english typings from the keyboard? [13:51] LjL: I did update [13:51] Hello all. [13:52] WDC: "update" reads the new packages that may be available, "dist-upgrade" actually does the upgrading [13:52] LjL: orly. /me does [13:52] LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51637/ is what i got [13:52] Myrtti: I know, I know, that's just my crazy DIY-attitude :) I like to be in control :D [13:53] Ileden: anyway, enough of offtopic, did you have a problem?

[13:54] Myrtti: i did all scim setup now there at upper taskbar is scim icon :D cute [13:54] Myrtti: but i dont know how to change or switch between languages where i installed urdu and english [13:55] hmm [13:55] Myrtti: yeah. I'm dualbooting Ubuntu and Windows, and my LCD shows ubuntu's screen a few pixels to the right, or windows' few pixels to the left. autoadjust solves this, but is bothersome. What would be the approach to try and solve the problem? In other words, how to make my display adapter offset the screen position (or somesuch) in ubuntu? [13:55] ubuntu can't mount /dev/sda when I try and install [13:56] I can't mount my hard drive!! [13:56] Ileden: you've got 8.04.1, I assume? [13:56] Myrtti: not an easy problem, I presume. :( [13:56] LjL: ugh! upgrade-dist is long [13:56] D: [13:56] Myrtti: yup [13:56] Ileden: do it in windows? [13:56] Ileden: and display driver and screen? [13:56] WDC: well, if you never upgraded before, there's certainly a lot of fixed packages to fetch now... [13:56] ComradeHaz: that'd be ok too [13:56] nVidia? [13:56] It's trivial if it is [13:57] ComradeHaz: but I expect ubuntu to be more configurable :) [13:57] maybe [13:57] I wouldn't know what to do [13:57] why can't ubuntu mount my hard drive? [13:57] atlef: uhm well, that looks fast... can you also please find some big file (at least some 50 megabytes, more if you can), and copy it to your stick from the CLI, by using "time cp sourcefile destination", and give me the size and timings? [13:57] it drops into a busybox terminal [13:57] you'll be wanting to play with X11 settings [13:57] so does debian, and gentoo when I try and install [13:57] lleden: maybe change the refresh rate in one of them, that might allow you to change the settings independently [13:58] evil_saltine: ok, how do I change the refresh rate?

[13:59] lleden: in ubuntu, I don't know, but I'm sure it's in the settings somewhere [13:59] complex_number: also check the conf of the sata chip on bios. do not enable raid mode (unless you have to) and set the mode to ahci if possible [13:59] I don't know if it would work for sure anyway, just a hunch [14:00] what is ahci? [14:00] or ide behaviour [14:00] complex_number: is a standar interface for sata chips very well supported by linux including NCQ and hotpluggin [14:00] best is if you can turn off anything like Jmicrons RAID [14:00] it 'fucks shit up' [14:00] Does anyone know if residential routers (such as Linksys) have SNMP capabilities?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [14:38] LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51650/ is what i get. and no sudo this time [14:38] Is there a way to run a login prompt instead of the gnome login on startup? [14:38] atlef: well, it would do that, if you use /dev, but not if you use the right place. don't use sudo lightly, ask first [14:38] What exactly does the apt script in cron-daily do?

[14:44] -p [14:44] i guess [14:44] LjL: hehe, well they say you can only write x times to a stick [14:44] Hi. Does someone know how to download Gmail attachments using wget? [14:44] atlef: oh, but well, when that happens, it simply stops working [14:44] Off the top of their head, can anyone tell me what is the Metacity theme in this URL? [14:44] http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/56438-1.png [14:44] atlef: (or, with modern sticks, it silently just stops using one sector) [14:44] It used to ship with Ubuntu, but not now. [14:45] atlef: that's why a journaled fs like ext3 is a bad idea for a usb stick i would use ext2 or fat for flash disks [14:45] LjL: i thought so to [14:45] ok brb [14:45] erUSUL: why inittab isn't supported anymore on ubuntu? [14:46] hey. how can i change the default system language? I have only english values in /etc/environment. dpkg-reconfigure locales doesn't give ask me any questions, unlike in debian, which i am used to. so how does this work here? i'd like to know how to do this without GUIs, please [14:46] grey488: becouse ubuntu uses upstart not "System V" init system [14:46] erUSUL: well had ext2 not 3, typo. sorry [14:46] hello === dani is now known as Guest33790 [14:47] grey488: but anyway as i said even before the switch to upstart runlevels have no menaning for ubuntu all where the same (except 0 1 and 6 of course) [14:47] erUSUL: so that's the equivalent config file of inittab [14:47] how are you supposed to use libgtk2.0-0-dbg? I get /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1200.9 but not /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so so I can't specify CFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib [14:47] how can 1 set variables like PATH so the change is seen on the whole system? [14:47] grey488: there is none files under /etc/event.d/ have taken the role of inittab [14:47] atlef: but anyway i don't understand why now the file seemed to get copied pretty fast [14:47] LjL: all of this brings me back to lowlevelformat, as i thought would maybe fix it. but not sure [14:48] hi all, during the last update libc6 went broken, what can i do to resolve this issue? apt-get -f upgrade doesn't work [14:48] Guest33790: /etc/skel/* and /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile.d/ ??? [14:48] /msg ubottu etiquette [14:48] LjL: but whencopying larger files it slows to a crawl [14:48] how I can boot the text-based installer from normal live cd? [14:48] /etc/skel/ is not the new user skeleton files directory? [14:49] feistel: i think you need the alternate cd [14:49] Hope its not too early to repost: I installed ubuntu 8.04 with the install inside windows option and everything was working great until now... i shut off the power to my computer while running a program that I couldn't fix the screen resolution to, and now my computer won't boot up ubuntu... whenever i try i end up in something that says grub4dos and gives me a grub> command line... can anyone help me? I would really appreciate i [14:49] Guest33790: right [14:49] atlef: i do believe there's no such thing as a low level format for a usb stick... and if i'm wrong, i still think the only place you might find a tool to do that is the manufacturer's site [14:49] LjL: ok [14:49] Seriously, guys, it takes 5 seconds to look. Does anybody know this Metacity theme? [14:49] http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/56438-1.png [14:49] LjL: thank you for the help [14:50] erUSUL: Is /etc/bash.bashrc the settings file of the logon bash? [14:50] Jeremy23: I sure don't. [14:50] Jeremy23: you can read right? did you look at the right bottom corner? [14:50] atlef: well, please do try with an even larger file, but still using cp. actually, use « time cp filename /media/whatever ; time sudo sync » (/media/whatever being your drive's mount point!) [14:51] LyX-Student: that's the GTK theme, not the metacity theme [14:51] LjL: was about to [14:51] the metacity theme used to ship with Ubuntu [14:51] and I used to use it [14:51] but I can't remember it's name [14:51] *its [14:51] Guest33790: no .profile is .bashrc is read for every bash executed... anyway one source the other or viceversa so the difference is somewhat moot [14:51] anyone know the version of nvidia drivers by default on 8.04? [14:52] sivanicon: nvida-new --> 169 [14:52] umm but .bashrc is different for every user [14:52] sivianicon: nvidia-glx-new is 169.12 [14:53] looking for a channel for gddrescue any one know where i can get help or a good page to read [14:53] Hiya, can somone help me with connecting to a wireless network (wep encryption) on hardy server (no gui's!)

[14:55] on a VM in sun xvm virtualbox assigned 100mB ram it is installing slow - alternate installer used [14:55] atlef: or, possibly, there is indeed some sector on the flash drive that's broken, and when you hit that sector while writing, the I/O system retries a number of times [14:56] cheers koala_man! [14:56] atlef: you could "dd" the entire drive, from a linux terminal maybe (so you should see I/O errors directly), and see if that's the case... perhaps [14:56] I somehow broke mail so that I can't even get it to deliver locally to myself?

[15:55] hiya, ive just done a fresh install of ubuntu, using the guided partioner to use the whole of a drive. i have windows installed on a seperate drive. The install completes and reboots, but then I am presented with a screen simply saying "GRUB". What is wrong please? [15:56] francesco_: yeah you needn't worry about your wlan. those are pretty much standard. [15:56] francesco_: Yup, you don't have to wrry [15:56] hi [15:56] beastax: can you choose windows or ubuntu? [15:56] So EVERY kind of router works on Linux, right? Ok. [15:57] ramontayag: no, i dont get grub itself, literally just a black screen with the word "GRUB" on it in white writing [15:57] my new router does not redirect the port 80 to my apache [15:57] francesco_: Yeah, the router doesn't even interact with the OS [15:57] francesco_: well i haven't tested every router myself but it's usually not the router, but the drivers that ubuntu has (or doesn't have) that don't allow it to use your Wifi card right [15:58] ramontayag: Tell me about those drivers, please.

[15:59] francesco_: Are you going to be using wireless on Ubuntu? [15:59] Morning! Anyway to undo a partition change?

I think it is fair to say that currently in Hardy, you may have to some work (again, I never had to do this) to get wireless, but in Intreprid (the next version of Ubuntu), it should be automatic [16:03] cuz of the Mprogram [16:03] talk to Alex [16:03] Can I run gpart from the liveCD?

It's the wi-fi card that is not standard, so I could have to install some extra drivers depending on the kind of chipset. Did I get it? [16:12] eny1 can help me with alsamixer or alsa sound - or noise instead of music ??? plz [16:12] francesco_: Yup, exactly [16:13] francesco_ : and again, it is supposed to be a lot easier in Intrepid which is coming out next month [16:13] error, there is noone here with this type of knowlage, ask your question and wait till someone who knows comes by [16:13] i had turn off my modem and turn on but still i can join in Dalnet server. anybody can figure it out? [16:13] dreamind: it worked :D thx :D [16:13] kebomix: Np :) [16:13] baron did your ip address change or not? [16:14] if not then that's why [16:14] how? [16:14] dreamnid: What happens if I have Ubuntu installed in my PC and I install Windows in the notebook. Does Ubuntu see that an other terminal is using the router? [16:14] baron the ip address you are using is banned [16:15] hi :) how can I set nano as the editor to use with "sudo visudo"? with debian it uses nano... [16:15] csilk: but in other server it's okay [16:15] hi! i was thinking about replacing gdm in my box with an autostarting rdesktop client. where can i find info about this? [16:15] I am having monitor issues. When using the nvidia driver I can only use 640x480. Without the driver I can only get up to 800x600. I've tried running dpkg-reconfigure but it doesn't work. Ideas? [16:15] francesco_: umm... no. Just to clarify, your modem would be connected to the router which is then connected to your computers. Both computers would access the internet transparently [16:15] francesco_: it will depend on your router not on ubuntu.. [16:15] csilk, your ip address is banned on the dalnet server [16:15] baron, ^ [16:16] csilk: can help how to fix it? [16:16] baron, the only way to fix that is by changing your ip address.. restarting your router usually does that (assuming ADSL) [16:16] eny1 can help me with alsamixer or alsa sound - or noise instead of music ??? plx [16:16] dreamnid: I'm not an expert, and I'm a little anxious about that. The router includes the modem functionality, right? [16:17] hey do u guys know of any extension of add-on for firefox that allows you to download the audio files from last.fm, myspace, etc??? [16:17] francesco_ : Usually no. You connect your existing modem to your router [16:17] dreamnid: Really??? === zewm is now known as zewm_ [16:17] speener: downloadThemAll [16:18] francesco_ : Yup. It's just a simple cat5 (ethernet) cable [16:18] dreamnid: I supposed I could have thrown away my ethernet modem. A friend of mine has a router and it uses it just like a modem. [16:18] csilk: i have turn off it or restart it. or i need more time to turn back time? [16:18] how can I set nano as the editor to use with "sudo visudo"? [16:18] barnie, i dont know, it depends on your ISP [16:18] francesco_:Yeah, there are some that has a modem and router combined, but again, it's kinda rare [16:18] all you can do is trun it off. wait one minute, then turn it on [16:19] dreamedge, rare??? [16:19] not really [16:19] most people in the UK have combined ones [16:19] i havent seen a modem for years [16:19] csilk: Alright - I guess I meant in the U.S. [16:19] frankie_: any progress on you issue ? [16:19] dreamnid: So you mean that a router is just like a "little server" that connects the computers of a LAN. [16:19] i have 3 minute to wait, then turn back on. but still i have banned [16:19] really? i'd of thought the US would be the same [16:20] francesco_ : You can think of it like that [16:20] baron, can you confirm that ip has or has not change? [16:20] hi all. 'java -v' gives me "Could not create the Java virtual machine.", but I can still run java based applications... anyone know what the problem might be? [16:20] *changed [16:20] hi [16:20] what configuration filees for the monitor are used in the new X system? [16:20] erUSUL: still trying to get my router to give my box dhcp [16:20] can anyone tell me a great email app program that i can use to check gmail (without getting all the double emails)? also with a nice calendar would be nice [16:20] hi. I want to share with windows, but when I use "sudomount//172.16.73.88/kelsenshare/media/sharename/-ousername=xk,password=kaikai,dmask=777,fmask=777", i can't mount windows share file? why? [16:20] joanki123, evolution [16:20] csilk, have you ever tried sunbird? [16:20] frankie_: maybe would be easier to configure it with static ip ? [16:20] joanki123, never heard of it [16:20] sudo mount smb:/192.168.1.100/TangHui的备份 /mnt/win -o username=user,password=123,file_mode=777,dir_mode=777 [16:21] above can't work property. [16:21] dreamnid: That changes everything! I think the best solution is to buy a router that includes a modem. I didn't know that there were routers that weren't modems. [16:21] where are the gusty repos? [16:21] htang: you just gave everyone your ip name and password [16:21] francesco_ : I guess it depends on where you live :) [16:21] csilk, can you check multiple emails through evolution? [16:21] dreamnid: Where do you live? :-) [16:21] francesco_, yeah, every router i've seen in the last 8 years has been a router and modem in one [16:21] erUSUL: thing is, i am not sure that the router is giving dhcp on the ethernet at all. [16:22] reformer81, dont be silly [16:22] francesco_ : I'm in NY, USA [16:22] joanki123, what do you mean by "check multiple emails" [16:22] ? [16:22] frankie_: ok [16:22] sorry...I am... [16:22] you mean multiple accounts? [16:22] htang, what kind of error message do you get? [16:22] multiple email accounts going into my evolution [16:22] joanki123, yes it can do that [16:22] thanks [16:22] joanki123, yes [16:22] francesco_: and yeah, I would say 98% of consumer routers do not have the modems [16:22] what's the FTP/HTTP URL for the gutsy repositories? [16:23] joanki123, evolution is default installed on ubuntu [16:23] csilk is saying the opposite, dreamnid. [16:23] it got the below error message: [16:23] htang@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount //192.168.1.100/TangHui的备份 /mnt/win -o username=user,password=123,file_mode=777,dir_mode=777 [16:23] WARNING: 'file_mode' not expressed in octal.

[16:23] csilk, yes i see that [16:23] Hi all [16:23] francesco_: Well, again, he's in the UK [16:23] francesco_, i'd say 98% do have modems built in [16:23] I need to get confdef.h header file in include dir, how can i get it [16:23] francesco_ : You can check newegg.com :) [16:23] htang, also try sudo mount -t smbfs "//192.168.1.100/TangHui的备份" /mnt/win -o username=user,password=123,file_mode=777,dir_mode=777 [16:24] csilk, dreamnid, I live in Italy. What kind of thing should I expect if I box with "router" written on it? :-) [16:24] <|zeal|> hi, morning [16:24] dreamedge, all the routers on newegg.com have built in modems -_- [16:24] http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=adsl+router&x=0&y=0 [16:24] csilk: ah, no they don't [16:24] fx3: i did that. but I got :WARNING: 'file_mode' not expressed in octal. [16:24] WARNING: 'dir_mode' not expressed in octal. [16:24] mount error 6 = No such device or address [16:24] Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) [16:24] htang: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:24] "...if I buy..." [16:24] its still my old ip address, why did not change even i have turn off? can i use static ip, how? [16:24] <|zeal|> I hear that ubuntu 8.10 can crash some net cards, it that true ? anyone knows ? [16:25] francesco_: Well easy way to check is if there is a coax input on the router [16:25] |zeal|, any operating system can do that, its more of a driver issue [16:25] dreamnid: a phone wire? [16:25] |zeal|: is a kernel bug on the alphas. discuss in #ubuntu+1 [16:25] |zeal| you might want to ask in #ubuntu+1 but there is an issue with the e1000e driver [16:25] francesco_, look for a adsl router or dsl router thats what you want (assuming you dont use cable) [16:25] <|zeal|> csilk: I see :) [16:25] dreamnid: umm... well do you use cable or DSL? [16:25] dreamedge, did you follow that link i pasted? [16:25] htang, well the first two errors are self explanatory, is the host address correct? can you ping it? does the strange chars in username cause issue [16:26] francesco_: Do you use cable or dsl? [16:26] hi [16:26] csilk: no, one sec [16:26] dreamnid, csilk: it seems complicated. [16:26] dreamnid: I use ADSL. [16:26] <|zeal|> dreamnid: Ok, I see, thanks ! [16:26] francesco_, not really, you need an ADSL router [16:26] <|MUSE|> I have these files that are supposed to be a short vid, but they seem to have been separated in someway. They are vid.avi.001, vid.avi.002, vid.avi.003...etc. How do I joint them together? I can view the first file, but the rest are just broken audio, no video. [16:26] htang, you could aslo try sudo apt-get install smbfs, and do smbmount [16:26] Hello. [16:26] csilk: umm, that's only 10 routers... most are not meant for home users [16:26] |MUSE|: cat [16:26] ikonia, defrysk, are you here? I'm the guy with erased stuff. I could fix most of the problem with a tool coming with ubuntu named PhotoRec. it comes in TestDisk's package. that's a handy thing. see ya later. [16:27] csilk, dreamnid: So I have to buy something with "ADSL router" written on it. Right? [16:27] can anybody tell me how can I set the Nautilus to always use "view as list" instead of "view as Icons" ? [16:27] francesco_, yes [16:27] htang, smbmount "//host/share" -U user -c 'mount /mnt/win -u 500 -g 100' [16:27] francesco_ : If you have ADSL, then yeah [16:27] dreamnid, pretty sure they are meant for home users [16:27] ls [16:27] or else the USA is 10 years behind in technology [16:28] htang, try this: [16:28] cdan: edit -> preferences [16:28] <|MUSE|> jrib: cat? Is that in SPM, does it come standard with ubuntu? [16:28] csilk: 4/10 are under $100 [16:28] thx, I must have been blind :) [16:28] I have looked there 3 times [16:28] dreamnid, yeah.. in that case, the USA is 10 years behind the UK in internet technology... [16:28] sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=123 //192.168.1.100/TangHui的备份 /mnt/win [16:28] hello all, while running 'john the ripper' to crack my own password, its turning off my computer after sometime.. whats wrong? [16:28] htang, ^^^ [16:28] cdan, edit> pref> views tab in nautilus [16:29] dreamnid, csilk: So I should do researches. [16:29] the IP is correct, I can sure. but if is the strange chars cause the problem , i don't know. well, I will try the follow. [16:29] |MUSE|: it's a standard program. You would do something like (read the man page first and feel free to ask me if you are still unsure): cat foo.avi.* > foo.avi [16:29] csilk: Nah, I'm sure it is because here, the modems are provided by the ISP [16:29] <|MUSE|>  jrib: ok thanks [16:29] dreamnid, here, the router/modem is provided by the isp [16:29] htang, if the chars are causing the problem you need to create a credentials file, read up on google its all there [16:29] francesco_ : Umm... again, if you have ADSL, then you can buy a ADSL router [16:29] defrysk, hi [16:30] csilk: It's possible they do the same thing here: i'm just saying most consumer routers that you can buy at a store isn't combined === warren_ is now known as htrejh [16:30] csilk: but whatever, it's not that important [16:30] dreamnid: I have to buy a WLAN ADSL router. Right? [16:30] francesco_: Yeah... although any reason why you want it combined? [16:31] Combined? modem and router? [16:31] dreamnid, yeah.. not important, i find it strange though [16:31] francesco_ : right [16:31] Hi! I get multiple users of the same name (my login name) when running 'users'. Is that normal? Have not seen it before. I have a totaly fresh install of ubuntu 8.04. [16:32] Because, that way I have just a device on my desktop, dreamnid. Is that a good reason? :-) [16:32] ja1: yes is normal [16:32] jal: It's normal, it can happen if you open many terminals. "w" or "who" might be better showing this [16:32] jal, i think it is quite normal, i got three instances of me... ;) [16:32] erUSUL: Where does the "additional" users come from? [16:32] francesco_ : lol, fair enought [16:33] it looks like ubuntu ruined my Texas Instruments Card Reader, when i put my card in, it dosent see it, but when i boot up my computer, it is read in the process, plz plz help [16:33] csilk, can i set evolution up so that even when it's not open, it will notify me of a new email? [16:33] x-session-manager seem to be one extra! :) [16:33] dreamnid: That explained a lot. [16:33] joanki123, i think you can, but i havent tried doing that yet [16:33] fx3:I will change the file name , and then have a try. [16:33] ja1: for example i usually have 3 user ... one for X window one is irssi inside screen and the other is my shell === Mr1 is now known as alive200780 [16:33] joanki123, i think there might be way to shrink it to the notification bar [16:33] hi! i am running xubuntu, but happened to start nautilus. now i can't see my desktop anymore, even if i log out and back in. how do i get the desktop back as it used to be? [16:33] ja1: if i open a second terminal/shell ther will be 4 users [16:34] i'll look into it in a while [16:34] thanks [16:34] dreamnid: I'm reading Wikipedia right now, and actually it says that the router, technically, is just a "server", not a modem. [16:34] <|MUSE|> jrib: It joined them all, but there is only sound. It seems to have lost all the video in the process. Perhaps the file was separated in a different way. Have any suggestions? [16:34] francesco_ : Which article are you reading? [16:34] francesco_, depends on what "router" you have [16:34] a [16:35] |MUSE|: nope. You have to get information from where you obtained the files then [16:35] guys no joy with my grub im afraid [16:35] magnetron, what do you mean by not seeing the desktop? you're seeing a black page? [16:35] how do i determine which wireless driver i'm using? i just installed ipw over iwl , turned off the wifi card/disabled wireless networking - then reenabled...i want to verify that the wifi is using the ipw drivers...any thoughts? [16:35] dreamnid: I'm reading wikipedia in italian. It's the "router" page. === Skrux1 is now known as Skrux [16:35] <|MUSE|> jrib: ok, thanks anyway. [16:35] it looks like ubuntu ruined my Texas Instruments Card Reader, when i put my card in, it dosent see it, but when i boot up my computer, it is read in the process, plz plz help === Guest54654 is now known as srg [16:36] Another question about expanding vertically: I've found key-shortcuts for expanding windows vertically. But I'd like to double click just like in KDE to expand windows vertically, and not Maximize them. Is that possible? (I think I need to know what "signal" a double click on the top of a window generates") [16:36] perhamlinux, i see a brown non-clickable square, the same color as in the gdm chooser [16:36] francesco_ : Yeah, the problem is that a "consumer" router is a router + switch in one. Then there are those with a router + switch + modem in one box [16:36] it may have some output in dmesg, digitalvectorz === srg is now known as sarge [16:36] can anyone help me === sarge is now known as sarg3 [16:36] i am new ubuntu user [16:36] !ask | manishroy [16:36] manishroy: 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. :-) [16:37] dreamnid: Yes. I'm reading another article that says that. [16:37] magnetron, you just ran nautilus and everything went crazy afterwards? === sarg3 is now known as srg3 [16:37] perhamlinux, i logged out, and happened to "save my session" in XFCE [16:37] I ma having a problem in playing songs on my ubuntu system?

[16:38] it looks like ubuntu ruined my Texas Instruments Card Reader, when i put my card in, it dosent see it, but when i boot up my computer, it is read in the process, plz plz help [16:38] hey guys my ubuntu hangs after login since envy ati driver install (and all other methods i have found), im now on live cd and have pasted my xorg log http://rafb.net/p/qX1Sn862.html [16:38] dreamnid: I think that, anyway, if I buy a "cheap" WLAN router that isn't a modem it won't be a problem, because I already have an ethernet modem. Could there be problems with Ubuntu that way? [16:38] can anyone help me? [16:38] magnetron, when you've got the bad screen, press CTRL-ALT-Backspace see if anything happens [16:38] manishroy: do you have an intel or realtek soundcard [16:39] francesco_ : Nah [16:39] perhamlinux, no, that will just reboot my X [16:39] DEViUS, it's highly unlikely that ubuntu 'ruined' any of your hardware [16:39] Devius: What happends if you type dmesg, after inserting the card? === cruzzzz is now known as mc05w37 [16:39] anyone ever try thunderbird? [16:39] \join #ubuntu-br [16:39] Devius: Maybe you have to mount the card manually. [16:39] magnetron, I think the problem is the saved session, can you choose any other window manager in gdm? [16:39] \join #ubuntu-br [16:39] isn't gtksourcecompletion library packaged for ubuntu??

Do you power cycle your computer or just reset?

It's the wi-fi card in the notebook that could cause problems, right? [16:42] HappyHater: it only works when i insert it at boot time (this applyies to both operating systems) [16:42] How much of my /var/backup file should I burn to DVD? Do I need to burn it all or just the most recent .ful and .inc files for simple backup? [16:42] Killer--Tux: but what folder is it, why would you want to modify something owned by root? [16:42] francesco_ : right [16:42] jal: i turrn it off normally [16:42] magnetron, good luck [16:43] dreamnid: You are so patient with me.

If I want a router just to connect two PC together, and I want to access the other PC from mine, how do I see the other PC from my terminal?

How i can make symbolik link FROM DIRectroy TO DIRectory? Thanks!

[16:47] Vladimir[LV]: like you'd do with files, "man ln" [16:47] hey [16:47] sha16: what's a sound of a cpu overloading? :o) [16:47] how do i change the ubuntu boot logo to my own picture? [16:47] francesco_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba === agib is now known as agib|away [16:48] Afternoon all. I tried to install Zope from the package manager and the install failed. I don't need it anymore, but it keeps coming up as a failed install everytime I install updates. How do I tell apt-get that I no longer want it to try to install it? [16:48] how do I create the alias? [16:48] francesco_ : and there are a lot of guides on google too about this :) [16:48] dreamnid: Thank you very much.

[16:49] i will have to fix this from livecd [16:49] Vladimir[LV]: that's for hardlinks, not symlinks [16:49] top command says i have 513560mb and using 421864, that cant be right?

[16:49] Hi guys! Why would a desktop not boot from the official CDs of ubuntu and edubuntu? BIOS is ok, I have booted from Debian DVD but now it doesnt boot from the Ubuntu CDs! Thanks [16:49] would doing sudo grub-install /dev/sdc1 be right? [16:49] and how do i change the picture it shows right after logging in there is a nvidia logo there now for like 30 seconds [16:49] K_Dallas: what went wrong? [16:49] sha16: you don't have to ask me to check your log files. they're in /var/log, and you can use "dmesg" also. still, the *only* reason i can think of is overheating... or bad RAM [16:50] dreamnid: Thank you. I think it's enough for now. :-) Thank you for everything and see you later. [16:50] dreamnid, it says booting from CD, waits a long time and then boots from HD [16:50] francesco_: No prob :) [16:50] K_Dallas: Weird - maybe the cd is damaged? [16:50] strange: you can swich the nvidia logo off with some option in xorg.conf .As for the gdm (the login screen ) look for a theme in gnome-look.org [16:50] dreamnid, (Blaziken): "visudo" is not a command to start "vi" with "sudo". it's a command to edit the sudoers file. [16:51] jim_p: can i change the nivia logo with something of my own as well? [16:51] LjL :oops , that's right [16:51] /quit later suckers [16:51] dreamnid, both CDs!

[16:52] why I can't use it on ubuntu? [16:52] LjL: since that's what I usually do [16:52] it looks like ubuntu ruined my Texas Instruments Card Reader, when i put my card in, it dosent see it, but when i boot up my computer, it is read in the process, plz plz help [16:52] dreamnid: in theory, no [16:52] Anyone know of a good html editor for ubuntu? something more advanced than Kompozer or bluefish [16:52] * K_Dallas rebooting [16:52] SchmittyDoesIt: gedit [16:52] antazy: not really advanced enouph for me [16:52] hi [16:53] SchmittyDoesIt: np, use eclipse [16:53] im looking for something that rivals dreamweaver [16:53] SchmittyDoesIt, what features you looking for when you say "more advanced"? [16:53] dreamnid: for starters, visudo makes sure the syntax is right before saving the file, so you don't mess up sudoers resulting in a trip into recovery mode [16:53] csilk: forms, php, coldfusion [16:54] SchmittyDoesIt, there isnt a single product that does that [16:54] dreamwaever is crap anyway [16:54] how run program with another language, not system? [16:54] it really falls short in so many ways [16:54] LjL: Alright - thx [16:54] what are Dapper and Edgy users? [16:55] I think I need to do a re-install. Multiple applications are acting wacky. :-/ [16:55] I heard that Bluefish is good. [16:55] and Quanta. [16:55] Try those. [16:55] i use quanta [16:55] SchmittyDoesIt, you dont see mych coldfusion dev done in linux (or anywhere now for taht matter) as for php eclipse ahs a good php plugin and netbeans 6.5 has good php dev support [16:55] ?join #automechanics [16:55] oops [16:55] but bluefish rocks, too, one of the devs is sitting in my office ;) [16:55] but as for HTML.. you'll need to write that by hand [16:55] Stupid keyboard. [16:55] dreamwaever makes really bad html anyway [16:56] and it is expensive. [16:56] csilk: which do you prefer netbeans or eclipse? and are these heads and tails above Kompozer? [16:56] SchmittyDoesIt, i use both [16:56] unfortunatly i have too [16:56] csilk: ic [16:57] if using KDE you could try quanta [16:57] hmm, csilk: Do you use PDT in Eclipse? [16:57] but for html, you wanna be writing that by hand really [16:57] dreamnid, i couldnt get pdt to work so i'm using phpeclipse [16:58] i cant take eclipse seriously until it sorts out stability [16:58] csilk, hahaha yeah - I spent hours trying to get it to work in Eclipse 3.4 and still not really working - Crashes all the time [16:58] csilk: eclipse doesn't offer WYSIWYG [16:58] sounds like good old eclipse ;) [16:58] SchmittyDoesIt, of course not [16:58] you shouldnt use that anyway [16:58] as it never produces decent html [16:59] csilk, I'm assuming phpecipse is still a plugin for eclipse though [16:59] yes [16:59] not had any problems with it [16:59] alrighty, I'll def. check it out [17:03] anyone know of any way to tweak the video settings in miro? [17:03] dreamweaver runs under wine i see...... [17:04] have you guys heard of this new microsoft Midori? [17:04] SchmittyDoesIt, yes but why would you use dreamweaver? [17:04] csilk: dreamweaver provides me with that warm cozy feeling [17:04] i need help installing flash player [17:04] csilk, got a better suggestion? (and don't say Kompozer, 'cos it sucks donkey bollocks) [17:04] I accidentally deleted python's site-packages ... how can I reinstall all python packages? [17:05] SchmittyDoesIt, yes i have, it sounds like a nightmare [17:05] #ubuntu-ru [17:05] running an os as/in a could computing environment [17:05] nasty [17:05] **cloud computing [17:05] csilk: it's linux.... they finally conceited [17:06] TuxOtaku, a better suggestion would be eclipse with the php plugin [17:06] opr netbaens [17:06] *netbeans [17:06] IMHO eclipse is better than netbeans ATM for php dev [17:06] hello all, [17:07] N1ckR, i'd aggree to a certain extent, i'm using the beta version of the new eclipse, it has excellent php support [17:07] **new netbeans [17:07] csilk - 6.5 is interesting [17:07] yeah [17:07] how do enable raid1 on my ubuntu system? i already had i configured once, but i do not have any read access on it currently [17:08] it seems a little slow when you have alot of plugins though, i guess thats something they will fix before release (i hope) [17:08] Its not upto standard of eclispse pdt, but in a years time could be there [17:08] could anybody help, how to get rw privilege on FAT32 data partition as normal user (not root)? [17:08] pdt lol [17:08] i coudlnt even get that to work [17:08] typical unstable eclipse [17:08] it kept telling me there were dependencies which you cant meet [17:09] so i'm using phpeclipse plugin instead [17:09] did you install from repository ? [17:09] yes [17:09] no [17:09] erm.. what the plugin or the ide? [17:09] the latest IDE isnt avail;able in the repo [17:09] I downloaded and it direct from eclipse.org and installed into /opt [17:10] yes thats what i did [17:10] by it, I mean eclipse + pdt all in onr [17:10] no not all in one [17:10] onr = one even [17:10] i tried to add pdt as a plugin [17:10] so does anyone have an idea as to how I could tweak the video settings for miro? [17:10] can anyone help me? [17:10] never tried to add as a plugin [17:11] N1ckR, can you download eclipse with java and php together?

[17:12] n1c0las, yeah but then i'd have to add java support via a plugin, which (knowing eclipse) will probably fail and i need eclipse for java more than php [17:12] i do an update on friday (using hardy) and now i can't use my external usb drive, i got an input/output error every time that i try to do something on it [17:12] n1ckR: hmm, I tried the all-in-one and got a eclipse start up error [17:13] works for me in debian testing, not tried it in ubuntu [17:13] dreamnid, i feel your pain [17:13] eclipse has issues with the latest jre [17:13] anyone have that problem installing?

[19:53] so how do i type it into terminal [19:53] unstable: I'm not sure - exim does support radius, however the docs say that you'd have to tell it when compiling it. Now I'm wondering if it is working out-of-the-box in ubuntu or not. [19:53] terminal cd Desktop/nameOfFlashFolder [19:53] unstable: so I think, #exim won't help much. [19:53] okay ill try it now [19:53] hitting tab will do an autocomplete of long directory names [19:53] amanulla: right. that will format that partition and continue the install. be careful! it WILL format that part of disk. the rest will be ok if you do not touch it [19:53] if you need [19:54] radovich:ok [19:54] So again, does the exim package support radius? Or will I have to compile it myself? [19:54] sorry newbe where i can reach some server to download ? [19:55] when I try that it says "THEME'S NAME" does not appear to be a valid theme.

[20:01] can i increse the limit for the tool to get all data on one file [20:01] no matter the copmression type is zip,gzip or .tar.gz [20:02] RenatoSilva, [20:02] arh i didnt keep text history [20:02] which is faster and less RAM consuming: gnome or kde? i am thinking about default ubuntu instalation of the desktops... [20:03] radovich: They're about the same [20:03] Why would the partitioner say that some space on one of my drives is "unusable"? [20:03] 8mb? [20:03] PerfectExodus: bad clusters ? [20:03] that is the cache of the disk, i think. [20:03] lunat1que: thats what I thought, but it changes size... [20:04] If I wanted to purchase new hardware specifically for linux (implying fully supported in linux) where can I find out what to buy? [20:04] Hi all. I have a question - what's going to happen if i install ubuntu without the boot loader on my external HDD and will i we able to boot and use it? [20:05] bahaa2008: I really don't know, but I think it's an issue about the size of the file which you can solve with some switch. I had this problem with mkisofs... [20:05] For eample, if I tell it to use a boot partition of 32mb, then a swap of 512mb, it tells me the rest of the 40GB drive is unsuable. [20:05] Revan: www.linuxcertified.com [20:06] Thanks radovich! [20:06] np :) [20:06] whats the app 2 partition ubuntu [20:06] RenatoSilva, i didn't get it [20:06] Revan: but i think there are only laptops there... [20:06] I'm having a little trouble with having Ubuntu hibernate, when I do, it just locks out the screen instead. [20:07] RenatoSilva, how vps control panel make a back of the server in one file [20:07] Hi all. I have a question - what's going to happen if i install ubuntu without the boot loader on my external HDD and will i we able to boot and use it? [20:07] of course there is a technique somehow [20:07] bahaa2008: I'm sorry. My suggestion is to seek into the man page for some option to allow files larger than 2gb [20:08] Nin[J]a, no [20:08] unop: no what? [20:08] RenatoSilva, thanks [20:08] unop: i wont be able to boot it? [20:08] Nin[J]a, you will not be able to boot and use it [20:08] Anscombe: gparted open system>admin>partition editor [20:08] Hi all! Querious question of a ponderous nature... Where could I look to find out why 'ping lindev.almostautomated.local' can't resolve the hostname from a Ubuntu install? Is there something inherently not routing the .local? If so where would I find such a thing? [20:08] RenatoSilva, how much your experience with linux ? [20:08] unop: ok, but when i install the loader i'm getting an error GRUB 21 [20:08] I am trying to install a open source program and its saying.. "PHP Extension "gd" must be loaded" is that a package that I have to add in ubuntu or something? [20:09] anyone had any experience with hosts.deny and ufw being totally ineffectual at blocking access from specific IPs? [20:09] The rest of my hosts are functioning just fine and DNS is happily running along... [20:09] i want to make performance optimisation for my ubuntu desktop [20:10] Nin[J]a, you installed the bootloader on the external disk itself? and you didn't change anything else? [20:10] I fixed a "curl" extension error by using a apt install, but I don't know what to do about this one.. any suggestions? [20:10] unop: yes [20:10] RenatoSilva, [20:10] It is _only_ from the Ubuntu install that almostautomated.local is not resolving...

(Setting this up for someone who is used to using windows) [20:39] almostautomated, it's probably the bindhost on ubuntu - probably tries to resolve the domain name first, then ask the DNS server about the host in the domain - i'm not sure on this tho [20:39] TJ13820: it does mean it tried delete something, but it was not there [20:39] Melwasul: In terms of what? Like, what sorts of things do you think would make it more comfortable for your windows users? [20:39] pihhan how do i fix it? [20:39] almostautomated, are you sure you have nothing in /etc/hosts about this domain? [20:39] hi guys, just upgraded my hardy machine from a 3x500GB (seagate sata) to 2x1.5TB (seagate sata).

[20:41] Bryce: Yeah, you can, it doesn't take up that much space :p [20:41] almostautomated, you might also might like to have both the 'search' and 'domain' directives mentioned in /etc/resolv.conf [20:41] unop: I mean when you type some command it can auto-complete for you. For example, you typed that complex apt-get command, then when you type "apt" it seeks into history for all commands beginning with the typed text, then you just browse over them till finding the command you want to run again [20:41] All right, thanks [20:41] pihhan "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [20:41] i get two errors [20:42] RTNETLINK answers: No such process [20:42] SIOCDELRT: No such process [20:42] unop: K, I'll take a look at the other hosts and see what conf files are diff [20:42] I have a Linksys WMP54G Version 4.1 WiFi card, I was told to install the pkgs linux-ubuntu-modules and linux-backports-modules-hardy.

[20:45] pihhan: would this be caused by a virtual interface? [20:45] can any one plssssssssss [20:45] maconga: dont you have wired connection to internet? [20:45] Melwasul: Well, if you're going to run purely Ubuntu, then your only hope would be proprietary video drivers and Wine. Otherwise, dual-booting would be the other way to accommodate gaming.

[20:54] TJ13820: it might work to assign higher metric to one, so it wont be used. but better way s to use more IPs on first interface and leave second interface not configured [20:54] balrog_:im confused to get ubuntu under usb over here how can i"http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/04/09/usb-ubuntu-804-installation-from-windows/" [20:54] ok thx [20:54] how do i backspace in vim? === adfsdf is now known as assfasd [20:54] TJ13820: this sounds like a networking issue, not an ubuntu issue - you might get better results out of #networking [20:54] pihhan: what i really want to do is assign one IP for HTTP server and another for a game server. [20:54] TJ13820: your hostname should not show anywhere on your router, unless you have installed samba package or some upnp server [20:55] amanulla: what are you confused about? [20:55] pihhan: hostname appears on all routers from all ubuntu devices when you set a hostname [20:55] unop: I do have [20:55] TJ13820: then assign first IP to eth0, second to eth0:0. leave eth1 not configured [20:55] pihhan: dhcp would pick the hostname up too [20:55] squiddy where can i get some documentation for this gpixpod ?!?

[21:00] TJ13820: dont configure it, it wont configure itself. or, if using network manager, uncheck that interface [21:00] balrog_, it's alpha and i made the mistake of installing it [21:00] bobertdos [21:00] can i PM you === yousuck is now known as [google] [21:00] Spuddy: Yes, you may [21:00] bobertdos: I did unplug it once without unmounting it properly.

[21:02] Could anyone tell me a program that I could make ISO's off disks? [21:02] airtonix: Mine works fine. Make sure that the pop server is set to use SSL and that the smtp server is set for TLS.

[21:05] can anyone tell me how to get or enable a plugin so i can watch videos on pirillo youtube revved etc...? [21:05] amanulla: you want either ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.torrent or ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-amd64.torrent [21:05] TJ13820: is showing its name so important? i dont think it should report name to router [21:06] pihhan: yes for what i need. [21:06] unop: you still there? I found out what was wrong. [21:06] bobertdos: I did remove the usb drive w/o unmounting it first. After that, it would recognize any of my usb devices on any usb port. [21:06] TJ13820: more often you can configure name for each host at router config i think [21:06] airtonix:i want to get a ubuntu version which i can run under a portable usb pendrive [21:06] *wouldn't [21:06] airtonix: and it still doesn't work with Pop on SSl (port 995) and SMTP on TLS (587, I thin).

[21:07] =) [21:07] amanulla: if you follow the guide and get stuck, please ask questions, but asking the same question multiple times is going to net you the same result. [21:08] solved the whole thing [21:08] bjsterilite: Yep, I heard the first time, been distracted, sorry. Umm, when you do sudo mount in the terminal, does it show any flash drives? [21:08] TJ13820: If the server's both have static IP configurations then the names would be set in the router's resolver, depending on what it uses possibly /etc/hosts or dnsmasq, etc. [21:08] pihhan, here's the end of my Xorg.0.log.old http://pastebin.ca/1213024 [21:08] can someone tell me how to get commands like sudo rmmod b43 to run at startup [21:08] Nuro: why not just blacklist it? [21:08] airtonix: That is odd, because I use Gmail with Evolution on my laptop and it's just fine. [21:08] IntuitiveNipple: this is a cisco router. it views the hostmask sent by the machine [21:08] you have to write a script [21:09] Nuro, instead of doing that, utilise the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file [21:09] hello guys, can any one explain to me how to do Jim's solution provided here (http://www.g-loaded.eu/2005/11/10/add-files-to-totem-playing-list-from-nautilus/) ?

Does anyone know of an audio player for linux that will allow me to do this please? [21:11] amanulla: just go to the ubuntu.com website again and start the download again. [21:11] airtonix: Well, bloatware or not, Thunderbird does autoconfigure Gmail now. [21:11] i have seen an .iso,.part file in the saved folder [21:11] how to start downloading back [21:11] mazadillon: ok, your X server crashed. i suggest you turn off compiz effects at System/preferences/Appereance or how is that called [21:12] TJ13820: there is no 'sent by the machine' for DNS resolution *unless* using dynamic DNS update. In any event, put Wireshark on the segment and observe the interchange when the server NICs come up, to see what is different between the two. [21:12] i dont undetstand what ubottu is telling me to do [21:12] i need an example [21:12] bobertdos, but its just simple settings...why doesnt evolution or balsa work when previousl in feisty *all* mails clients had no problems [21:12] jrib: thanks.... is setting up samaba to share the www dir considered foolish?

[21:13] airtonix: I don't know if Google or Ubuntu is to blame for that. I'm willing to agree that (especially for the second LTS release) Hardy has not been the community's best work. [21:13] if you're running firefox on windows, hit ctrl+j to bring up the download manager. if you're running firefox on ubuntu, hit ctrl+y to bring up the download manager. from the download manager, you should be able to resume your download if you paused it. [21:13] amanulla: yes, you can [21:14] bobertdos, this is the first thing about hardy thats not worked for me [21:14] pihhan, thanks - i guess if i uninstall compiz that should fix it hopefully?

When I'm trying to boot the install CD, I choose the menu option to install, and then it gives me the splash screen with the thing going back and forth for a while, but then it just dumps me to a busybox prompt with a '(initramfs)' prompt. [21:15] skole, check into downloading all the font standard for the windows and for the new hardy [21:15] Intuitivenipple: i have 300Mhz enhanced Patch cables all the same all tested and rotated to check them [21:15] There aren't any error messages that I can see, and I'm not sure what to do from here. Does anybody here have any experience with similar symptoms? [21:16] asmussen: are you sure your image is not broken? [21:16] asmussen do you have a dual boot?> [21:16] TJ13820: have you rotated the ports used by the PCs to see if the same port affects different devices (or the failure follows the device) ?

[21:17] The system currently has a FC 9 installation on it that I am planning on overwriting. And no, I dont know for certain that the cd is good, although I have no particular reason to believe that's the problem. If nobody has any other suggestions, I'll try reburning it. [21:17] Intuitivenipple: also, one machine has the new ipconfig update. the one that is misbehaving. [21:17] asmussen: have you tried checking image downloaded? [21:17] Hello. In gedit, I have set 4 spaces to be inserted when I press tab. But when I want to delete these 4 spaces, backspace only deletes ones of them, so I have to press it 4 times. I know that Shift+Tab dedents, but I would really want to find I way to set backspace to erase all 4 spaces at once. Any help, please? :-) [21:17] first try loading and unloading the other OS then if that doesnt work, use infran or other ISO burner [21:17] asmussen: At the Cd menu there are options you can choose to modify the kernel command line (I *think* I remember it being F6) - remove "quiet splash" from the command-line before continuing and you will see the kernel logging messages that should give you a clue as to what is happening [21:18] asmussen: it has builtin check i believe, it is possible you have downloaded it wrong [21:18] pihhan: i need to use tools to pause and resume back my downloads can i? [21:18] TJ13820: ipconfig? [21:18] pls prefere 1 for me [21:18] how do i blacklist [21:18] asmussen, its probably a failed boot in the other os [21:18] Yeah, I tried removing quiet splash already, but it didn't really give any helpful hints. I'll try the menu option for checking the CD for defects next.

I'm using ubuntu as my router. So I want to route all traffic to port 25 over an ssh tunnel to one of my servers on the other end of the world. How would I do this?

[21:24] hi, has anyone had any luck with installing the nvidia driver in intrepid?

[21:27] intuitive nipple: i got it! samba was the issue [21:27] what are the commands for irc [21:27] TJ13820: the solution is to set up a DNS zone file in the router for the local LAN, and create A records for the servers, and create a reverse-lookup subnet zone to resolve IP-to-name requests too [21:27] kickenfarmer: network-manager that's built in typically works, also there's WifiRadar and wicd (or something similar to that) [21:27] yea where do i go to get it jeeze [21:27] TJ13820: hah! [21:27] perillux: As a general rule, the first thing you do when compiling source code is to make sure you've installed all the dependencies. The configure script is designed to check dependencies, and tells you which ones are not met. [21:27] /msg ubottu etiquette [21:27] wifiradar i like that one [21:27] TJ13820: So, it was SMB/NetBIOS [21:27] IntuitiveNipple: my samba install was broken! haha [21:28] kickenfarmer: type /help to get a list [21:28] bobertdos: how do I know if I have the right ones? or which ones I'm missing?

Don't just read the first sentence on the page. Read the entire page. [21:28] i read all that pertained to me [21:28] Gnea it doesnt do anything [21:28] Moderndayzero: clearly you did not. [21:29] kickenfarmer: what irc client are you using? [21:29] Moderndayzero: the flashplugin is in System/Admin/Synaptic package manager.. search there for flash and you'll see several .. [21:29] kickenfarmer: in other words - what's the name of the program that you're using for irc? [21:29] perillux: That means you need to install some additional libraries (libbzip2) and the supporting header files to be linked against [21:29] konversation [21:30] bobertdos: it has a lot of text output that says checking for.... everything says yes, except for "checking for X....no" "checking bzlib.h usability....no" "checking bzlib.h presence... no" "checking for bzlib.h... no" [21:30] OMFG that just what i asked and i was told i couldnt read [21:30] thankyou for the link none the less [21:30] kickenfarmer: it could be in a separate window or tab [21:30] IntuitiveNipple: there is no bzlib2 package [21:30] Gnea, thank you [21:30] bobertdos: i did lsusb in terminal but and it doesn't detect any usb device [21:31] seriously [21:31] kickenfarmer: you're welcome [21:31] Moderndayzero: that information was on the URL you refused to read. [21:31] perillux: The error you reported was with "libbzip2" not "bzlip2" [21:31] never used ubuntu or linux at all so im getting used to it [21:31] it takes time :) [21:31] no kidding [21:31] IntuitiveNipple: there is no libbzip2 package either [21:31] perillux: Where did you get the source code? Typically, most websites have a dependency list of the packages they offer. What is it you are compiling, by the way? === nigel is now known as brandonperry [21:31] took me years lol [21:31] kickenfarmer: if you typed /help it will display the commands in the Ubuntu IRC tab [21:32] has anyone been able to install the nvidia drivers for a geforce4 on intrepid?

[21:32] perillux: There is: "lib32bz2-dev" [21:33] IntuitiveNipple: I checked the list. but they don't give the exact package names so it's hard for me to find them sometimes [21:33] shehab_: probably a flash problem. [21:33] shehab_: What version of flash are you using and what version of Firefox? [21:33] i cant find the command to list the channels [21:33] perillux: Also, see "libbz2-dev" [21:33] kickenfarmer: it should be /list [21:33] Hi.

Anyways thanks for your help I might be able to get the others on my own.. But there is 1 more concern. before running "./configure" the instructions say to run "./autogen.sh" I run it and I get this output: "bash: ./autogen.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory" [21:36] irc is still relativly unmonitored ehhh? [21:36] the url of ubuntu es [21:36] wow, you HAVE been away for awhile... [21:36] perillux: you don't need to run autogen.sh, it's for regenerating ./configure and other stuff. [21:36] anybody? [21:37] kickenfarmer: let's take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [21:37] shehab_: Well that explains it. Having two versions in the system at the same time pretty much guarantees crashes.

Commit interval 5 seconds' and then 'EXT3-fs: m ounted filesystem with ordered data mode.' It repeats those same two lines over about a dozen times, and then drops to busybox. [21:41] hardcorelinux: yes, I found that. It's one of a number of possible solutions. I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with it. [21:41] so no one? [21:41] bjsterilite: I know you checked lsusb, but did you check sudo mount? [21:41] is there anyway to remove the bass from a .mp3 file ? [21:41] or increase volume somehow?

[21:43] tritium: do you think you could help me with the mp3 support issue? [21:43] is there some way to install 9600 gt drivers in a way that integrates "nicely" with the rest of the system, i.e. so that updates don't botch the installation [21:43] vassler: well the way to do it is with an audio editor.

When running "./configure" one of the checks says "checking for X... no" could this be a potential problem?

[22:00] hagus, put the install CD back in and re-install(either back up your $HOME, or if /home was on a different partition don't format it during the re-install) [22:01] pihhan: I believe it has something to do with the ISP, Comcast [22:01] AnonymousOne: i think i found solution [22:01] Ok [22:01] boberdos: so remove all flash related programes and install the nonfree again [22:01] hey all [22:01] you have assigned some name from provider, like cc1234? [22:01] shehab_: yep, basically [22:01] hardcorelinux: will reinstall delete my data - most of it I have been able to save :) [22:01] hagus, is your /home on a different partition that /? [22:02] pihhan: I wouldn't know where to find it [22:02] were can i get some good themes? [22:02] AnonymousOne: according to http://www.astro.umd.edu/~teuben/linux/comcast.html, you have to send dhcp name in dhcp query [22:02] elmo_, gnome-look.org? [22:02] tritium: You're right, of course, I just have a tendency to forget that people get old versions migrating over from upgrades, because I never do direct upgrades :p [22:02] pihhan: where might I find the dhcp name? [22:02] er [22:02] bobertdos: no worries :) [22:03] does anyone have a dell studio 15? [22:03] AnonymousOne: i dont know, somewhere in documentation? maybe your username or such thing [22:03] tritium: Hmm, I suppose 100 would have probably been from Feisty...... [22:03] tritium: or maybe manually installed [22:03] bobertdos: hard to say === stickboy is now known as thinman1189 [22:04] bobertdos: which package should i re-install again [22:04] tritium: haha, it's hard, because half the time, I don't think people even remember where all their packages came from :) [22:04] AnonymousOne: you need edit propably /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and change send host-name "" to something your modem does expect [22:05] shehab_: flashplugin-nonfree [22:05] Ok [22:05] AnonymousOne: but i have no clue where you will find that information [22:05] I have /sda1, /sda3, /sda5, /sda7, /sda8 - I have mucked about with suse at some stage in the past - but for the last four months, it has been Ubuntu Hardy Heron that I have used. [22:05] pihhan: okay, thanks [22:05] Good luck, bobertdos, shehab_. I'm off to run for a few hours. [22:05] I also have Vista [22:05] However, the problem arose when I started removing lamp from opt [22:06] in order to create/install a native Ubuntu webserver. [22:06] shehab_: Did you ever do a direct upgrade from an older version of Ubuntu? [22:06] When I started removing lampp, several other packages began being uninstalled as well. [22:06] It was like a rush of packages being emptied out :( [22:07] bobertdos: yes i did and thats when the trouble started [22:07] shehab_: from Feisty or Gutsy? [22:07] hagus, would re-installing 'lamp' put your system back? [22:07] My Ubuntu is on /sda5 - it is the default installation - which I think means that there [22:07] Hey guys. How can I rename an external HD? === eu_sou_o_quittt is now known as quittt [22:08] I do not think so hardcorelinux [22:08] Too much other stuff has been uninstalled along with it [22:08] bobertdos: i downloaded whatever was available in the update manager.cant recall whose was it [22:08] I'm using it to back up all of my linux stuff (various distros, themes, icon sets etc.) === dmsuperman_ is now known as dmsuperman [22:08] hagus, back-up, re-install [22:08] I am currently using a knoppix live cd to chat here, hardcorelinux [22:08] I want to rename the external, Linux Backup...or something to that effect. [22:09] shehab_: Okay, well, the point is, direct distro upgrades often wreak havoc. I avoid them. [22:09] ok ty hardcorelinux [22:09] I was working in thunderbird and all of a sudden I'm seeing everyting as if its a color negative. [22:09] what could have caused this? [22:10] bobertdos: now r124 is installed and testing,can i remove them from the selected downloads in the update manager [22:10] pac1: Do you have compiz enabled? You may have accidentally struck the key sequence for the negative effect. [22:10] sounds like it. I was using tbird and control and alt keys to set msgs to read. probably what happened. What key would it be? [22:11] pac1: I can't remember off the top of my head. If you have the manager installed, you can find it under System->Preferences->Advanced Desktop Effects. [22:12] shehab_: The update manager? Does it say there's an update? [22:12] i installed the nonfree flash plugin and restarted my browser and i still cannot see videos from sites anyone have a solution bychance? [22:13] Moderndayzero: What browser are you using? [22:13] totally cool super n for 1 window super m for desktop. [22:13] bobertdos: now it doesnt but yesterday there was,checking again [22:13] <bobertdos> firefox 3.0.3 [22:14] finally the flash-firefox problem is FIXED! [22:14] <bobertdos> may i pm you? [22:14] ryknow, I am not certain, but I think to rename that external drive you would have to use the "-n" option with mkdosfs or whichever of the filesystem creators yoy were wanting to use [22:14] hi all [22:14] Moderndayzero: If you type about:plugins in the location bar, is flash listed? [22:14] Serway: with 10? Yes, isn't it marvelous? :D [22:15] i.e. mkdosfs -n "LABEL-NAME" /dev/whateverdevice [22:15] bobertdos, it is magnificent! [22:15] hi, im having problem with fullscreen games, like ioUrbanTerror [22:15] they keep jumping in and out of fullscreen [22:15] Serway: It brings us joy!! [22:15] has anyone else experienced this? [22:15] bobertdos: now there r no updates,and FF is working well [22:15] Check out "man mkfs" [22:15] shehab_: huzzah!! [22:16] bobertdos: firefox also used to start untitled windows when playing flash,now it seems it doesnt [22:16] ryknow, this would of course "reformat" that device, so you'd want to backup the data before you tried this out... [22:16] Anyone in here have success with a BCM4306 mini-PCI card working under both GUI and console? [22:16] beastax: are you using compiz? it can cause theese kind of problems( at least for me) [22:17] dragonfi, yes, i had this exact same problem in fedora with compiz - but switching to metacity fixed it. not in this case in ubunty (hardy) [22:17] <bobertdos> shockwave is [22:17] Moderndayzero: 9.0_r124? [22:18] yes [22:18] bobertdos: ur a saver :D. [22:18] <bobertdos> yes [22:18] yesterday i upgraded my ubuntu to 8.04... unfortunately i have some "bugs" i think.... first: every time i launch sites that use flash firefox crashes. second: there is a bug with the fonts i think, e.g. the Garuda fonts i was using in 7.10 seem so weird! can anyone help? [22:18] shehab_: I do try :) [22:18] bobertdos:it seems like a common bug.other ppl have it too i see [22:18] packages.medibuntu.org is down. is their something to do about this? === thinman1189 is now known as stickboy [22:19] I have a iso-file that's been split to many rar-parts. It's a window-iso. How do I unrar it? [22:19] <[Solars]> in your /etc/fstab what would a raid swap look like> "UUID= none swap sw 0 0" ? [22:19] !rar > Finnish [22:19] Finnish, please see my private message [22:19] bobertdos: so how can i remove direct distro? === strahd is now known as titanus [22:19] So I guess the easiest way would be to plug it into a Windows box and rename it that way. [22:19] shehab_: No, no, I meant that when I upgrade Ubuntu, I always do fresh installs. [22:20] bobertdos: aha,but that means all documents will be lost in my folder [22:20] beastax: I use fusion-icon to change between compiz and metacity, but if the problem exist in metacity too I cannot help now( it's getting late here), good luck [22:21] connect krakow.irc.pl [22:21] yesterday i upgraded my ubuntu to 8.04... unfortunately i have some "bugs" i think.... first: every time i launch sites that use flash firefox crashes. second: there is a bug with the fonts i think, e.g. the Garuda fonts i was using in 7.10 seem so weird! can anyone help? [22:21] shehab_: You can also back them up. Also, here's a suggestion for when you move to Ibex. Do a fresh install using a LiveCD, and create a separate /home partition. That way, all your personal stuff will be separate from the OS. [22:21] !list [22:21] 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 [22:22] bobertdos: thanks a million :D [22:22] will post the fix now on the forum [22:22] Moderndayzero: and Youtube and so forth doesn't work?

I can load the module and iwcnofig recognizes it, but when i tell it to use a particular essid, it fails. any idea what's up? [22:27] Anyone knows how I can view tray icons (like the Pidgin and Xchat icons) in wmii? [22:27] Otherwise, Pidgin runs in background and has to be sudo killalled.

[23:06] i want to know how Gloobus works? [23:06] Agent_bob: thats the best diagnostic ive seen in ages [23:06] Agent_bob: that is kind of how this started. I can not sudo. It says /etc/sudoer has the wrong permissions (0777 instead of 0440) but I can not fix that because I can not sudo [23:06] demontager, have you tried the driver that comes with ubuntu.. the nvidia restricted driver? [23:06] LjL: Okay good, because it was about an hour ago, someone said. [23:06] maestrojed: you need to boot into recovery mode (that's a choice in the GRUB boot menu) and fix it from there [23:06] soleblaze: I wouldn't have a terminal update every half second! terminals are just not suited for that, use a GUI. [23:06] I have a question the internet has not answered [23:06] i want install Beta the latest [23:07] maestrojed fix sudo and you fix admin apps. [23:07] is there a different room I should go to for that? [23:07] maestrojed: do you have a clue why sudoers might have the wrong permissions, anyway? that really sounds like something that shouldn't happen spontaneously [23:07] anyone please? [23:07] maestrojed, you could do boot off with single and drop to a root shell and fix the perms [23:07] LjL: okay, I have tried that but I can not get to the GRUB boot menu :( How do I do it? I thought you just hold down ESC during boot [23:07] libdvdcss2 is already the newest version [23:07] demontager, if you really want to do that then ctrl+alt+ F2.. log in.. and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop... install driver . then .... sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [23:07] Smokalotapotamus: well, i don't know what the question is, so i doubt i could tell [23:07] xboxdrv reports, "Exception: Error couldn't claim the USB interface." [23:08] maestrojed: uhm, rather, try hitting Esc like mad, rather than keeping it pressed [23:08] why no posible go out from x from terminal? [23:08] LjL: I am probably at fault for messing up the permissions. I don' remember why I was messing with it but I built this machine to learn on have have played with a lot of things. My bad :) [23:08] you don't need to logout/back in after installing libdvdcss2 right? [23:08] maestrojed: and "during boot" means "just when the BIOS is about to hand off control", not "after Ubuntu is booting already" [23:08] LjL: ok [23:08] hi I am looking for combined firewall / network gui -- something like the windows type firewalls that also monitor applications, if it exists like so in linux [23:08] demontager, but of course there is a disclaimer.... Beta (espicially video drivers) is sometimes like playing with fire. [23:08] maestrojed you press escape after bios and before the kernel loads. [23:09] My trash won't empty. I rm it, all files are gone in .local/share/trash/files/ but they persist in the trash can and I don't have permission to delete them [23:09] yes, i want try it [23:09] hardcorelinux: I am going to try this recovery mode suggestion.

[23:12] hardcorelinux sure. but it only has one line in it. ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL [23:12] maestrojed yes. it is possable. [23:12] Agent_bob, so when you sudo, no password is asked?

[23:18] I knwo this is unrelated, but i need a p2p that has a good userbase...i tried gtk-gnutella and it was outdated from the repos, right now i'm using frostwire which is ok but it sucks for indie-classical stuff, i need a suggestion for the best p2p app that i can sudo apt-get [23:18] Agent_bob: If an op were in the channel right now, they'd probably trout slap you for doing what you just did. [23:19] I'm not using my main computer, this is just my laptop. The contents thereof are not important to me, I just want to have root privileges, for "experimentation". Jeez, it's not a huge deal. [23:19] bobertdos there are ops here. [23:19] alecwh: logging into X as root is a terrible idea, using root for stuff that needs it is a bad idea, "sudo -i" lets you do anything when you need to and that's a so-so-idea, asking about it in here is an idea i won't comment on. [23:19] Agent_bob: read above [23:19] alecwh i've said all i'm going to about it. it's your system. [23:19] Guys, I KNOW it's a terrible idea, I don't plan on doing this on a machine that MATTERS. I just want to have fun, you could say. [23:19] Agent_bob, yes, there are ops, and honestly i'd rather you didn't explain that, but oh well. === {uX}l`VampyrCeil is now known as ceil420 [23:20] ljl i wouldn't normally, but this guy says he wants to learn the hard way.

[23:20] alecwh: well, you've been given the - correct - way, i hope what you said now is really true. [23:20] frankie__: so, did everything work out right in the end? [23:21] hi [23:21] solstralen: What graphics card do you have? [23:21] I believe there might be trouble with the fast-user-switch applet, is there a way to disable that using the terminal [23:21] Does anyone have any experience with Remastersys or Reconstructor? [23:21] Agent_bob: yes, i can understand that point of view [23:21] @patrik: It's an ATI card (unfortunately) [23:21] It feels like I'm asking for the secret to get into Hogwarts is, but thanks a lot anyway Agent_bob. [23:21] I need to make an Ubuntu Live CD with some certain programs pre-installed. [23:22] how can i start pppoeconf on ubuntu 8.04?? [23:22] asking what the secret to get into* [23:22] solstralen, i dont see how that would be affecting configuration of X. Its possible the version of X ubuntu is using - is causing some issues. and the automatic configuration fetures.. You could try the working debian xorg.conf under ubuntu [23:22] alecwh heh. happy burial to your pinguin :))) [23:22] * dr_willis recalls windows having many more 'secrets' then linux. :P [23:23] does gDesklets work? I installed it but nothing happens when i launch it. showing the widget layer just dims the screen. [23:23] anyone know of a fix for the debootstrap `hanging' issue dealing with locales ? [23:23] please help. I tried to plug in my laptop to an external monitor and now my laptop's built-in screen defaults to 800x600! I can't change it either [23:23] kwyjibo, it adds an icon to the panel/systray thing.. and you then have it load applets I recall [23:23] dr_willis: Probably true, but you know.........:p [23:23] solstralen: So you can actually get into X and running it? If you get a white screen when switching users with the fast switcher I recommend getting the latest updates. I had the same problem a while ago but It some upgrade fixed it. [23:23] Doesn't Gentoo give the user root privileges? It's not like every Gentoo user goes down in flames... [23:23] LjL and Agent_bob: I think that is an issue now. I don't think my USB keyboard is working until Ubuntu installs. I tested by booting off the liveCD. When it gets to the GRUB menu for LiveCD I can not change my options (the keyboard is not working). Is there anything I can do besides go buy an old PS/2 keyboard? [23:23] dr_willis: I'm not seeing any new icon, though [23:24] how can i start pppoeconf on ubuntu 8.04?? [23:24] maestrojed that is a bios short comming. [23:24] i don't understand why plugging monitors in and out makes ubuntu freak the F out [23:24] maestrojed, try the 'legacy usb' option in the bios.. I have 2 machines that i MUST use a ps2 keyboard to twidlle with gryb. [23:24] maestrojed: oh uhm that's weird, but check your BIOS, maybe there is an option to enable detection of USB keyboards [23:24] maestrojed i have seen that a time or two. but it's not common. [23:25] alecwh: We don't mean to act like we're keeping it a "government secret" or anything, it's just that Ubuntu is kind of a distro intended to protect inexperienced users from themselves, you see. [23:25] @dr_willis: At first I didn't even get the desktop running (blank screen with pointer), but after copying the xorg.conf file from debian, I could get to the desktop from the recovery console. Ubuntu then gave me an warning about the fast-user-switch applet. In regular user mode, I got to the desktop, but the keyboard is unresponsive and the "application" bar at the top hung very quickly. Then the whole system stopped responding. [23:25] bobertdos: no *experienced* user would log into X as root. [23:26] solstralen, sounds like some very weird issues. I imagine the warning was just a quirk and not really part of the problem.. but a sympton of a bigger problem [23:26] LjL: exactly, which is what we're trying to get through to him :p [23:26] my laptop keeps booting into failsafe mode, why?? [23:26] HA! I can not check the bios because I can not use the keyboard to tell the bios config to run! [23:26] solstralen: try changing the xorg driver to vesa or ati [23:26] maestrojed: err, point. [23:27] maestrojed, now thats different. My 'weird' system.. the usb works In the bios menus/ but just not grub. [23:27] maestrojed: well, you can do it anyway [23:27] dr_willis, ok that's peculiar, since both puppylinux and a debian gparted livecd boot up just fine [23:27] maestrojed: boot a live cd and change those permissions from there [23:27] maestrojed of course. do you have a ps2 keyboard around you can barrow for that purpose ? [23:27] patrik: is the ati driver available by default? [23:27] LjL: I tried that earlier but it say my local HDs are not mountable :) [23:27] solstralen, they may be using different X versions. Puppy is not that cutting edge. :) no idea on debian. could be they are using the vga/svga/vesa X drivers also. not the 'ati' ones.. [23:27] maestrojed: it's lying [23:28] raid ? [23:28] Agent_bob: I don't but I will try to find one [23:28] maestrojed: "sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /media/whatever" really should work from the live cd [23:28] LjL: oh yeah :) can I ask it to be truthful? Is there a trick [23:28] bobertdos: I know, but if a user wants to experiment, the information shouldn't be in a locker below 400 feet of cement... [23:28] a simple disclaimer should suffice. =P [23:28] solstralen: I'm not sure, but I think it is. But it's still experimental for some cards, and you might not get 3D accel [23:28] alecwh it wasn't, i gave it to you. [23:28] I find most infomation on ubuntu/linux is just a google serach away.. but i missed the original part of this discussion alecwh :) [23:29] solstralen: VESA is a safe bet [23:29] using dd to make an iso of a DVD, but it doesn't seem to work (dd if=/dev/dvd of=file.iso). I can mount the resulting file (or load it in VMware on a virtual host) - while the file structure is visible, files cannot be opened. The DVD is a burned disk that I made via iTunes' library backup. [23:29] alecwh: it's not in a locker, it's all over google, we just don't like giving it in *this* channel. it wasn't initially very clear that it was "just to experiment" on a "toy"-machine, either. [23:29] alecwh: ubottu has plenty of those, we just were nice enough to not throw them at you [23:29] help? [23:29] Okay, got it. [23:29] maestrojed: perhaps reboot into the live cd anyway, then tell us exactly what mount says, and we can try to work it out [23:29] ljl lintindo he has [23:29] patrik: ok, I'll give it a go with vesa and ati. Thanks (and dr_willis) === brian__ is now known as MrCollins|work [23:30] sg1cat, ive copied dvd's that way.. for the future you should rember to give a bs=1024 or similer option.. it will make the dd operation MUCH (like 2x) faster.

Keeps booting into failsafe mode. [23:30] dr_willis: faster, perhaps, but it results in the same iso file? [23:30] my issue is, the iso file is (apparently) broken [23:30] MAYBY SOMEBODY KNOW how can i start pppoeconf on ubuntu 8.04?? [23:30] LjL: error: device /dev/sda1 is not removable error: could not execute pmount [23:31] LjL as with windows only for gamming they say "wintindo", it seems that that guy has a "lintindo" box... [23:31] LjL: I will try it via command line [23:31] hello. i have problem with pppoeconf in ubuntu 8.04, when i type sudo pppoeconf i have msg that command not found, how i can install pppoe without network on ubuntu? [23:31] gdesklets is extremely broken, if you install using add/remove [23:31] maestrojed: yes, use the command line, and mount with sudo. pmount tries to mount as the user [23:31] Agent_bob: oh, had never heard that lingo :o [23:32] My "Connection Information" is grayed when I rightclick my network manager appelet [23:32] can someone suggest a different widget app, since gdesklets just doesn't work? [23:32] hardcorelinux: just saw your message...does cat give a different type of file than dd? [23:32] sg1cat, no [23:32] can anyone help with an xorg.conf issue? My laptop is stuck in failsafe, my resolution is 800x600 and won't go to the default 1024x768 [23:32] hello. i have problem with pppoeconf in ubuntu 8.04, when i type sudo pppoeconf i have msg that command not found, how i can install pppoe without network on ubuntu? [23:33] sg1cat shouldn't. [23:33] sg1cat, more info:http://www.der-eremit.de/linux-how-to-create-an-iso-image-from-a-cddvd/ [23:33] seero: is the pppoeconf package installed? [23:33] i thint is not [23:34] think* [23:34] gwyo, whats your graphics card and what did u do before it stopped working? [23:34] seero: check with: apt-cache policy pppoeconf [23:34] sg1cat one major differance is the ability to specify block size, and address ranges cat just dumps input to output [23:34] and what do after this? [23:34] Canaris_ thanks! I have an built-in intel graphics and I tried to plug in an external monitor [23:34] gwyo, thats all u did? [23:35] Canaris_ I tried to get the monitor working under screens and graphics [23:35] agent_bob: okay, so that would just change the speed of transfer. Ever have an issue where the resulting iso was apparently corrupt as I experienced? A visible file structure, but file contents were not accessible? [23:35] Hey, trying to get my z35 Lexmark printer working. I've installed a z32 .PPD and it knows it's there and it feeds the paper. But it doesn't print anything, the carts are moving. [23:35] seero: install the package if it is missing [23:35] mhats the best media player for linux? [23:35] gwyo sounds like the bios is set to automaticly switch the display and has interfeared with xoer [23:35] xorg [23:35] Canaris_ it then told me that all users need to log off. I logged off and now it keeps going to failsafe mode [23:35] whow i can install this when i didnt have network on ubuntu? [23:36] gwyo, even after unplugging the external monitor? [23:36] Canaris_ yes [23:36] seero apt-zip maybe ? [23:36] ciao a tutti si blocca il browser uso direfox 3.0.3 come faccio? [23:36] gwyo, did u try changing the settings back to the old ones? [23:36] No one can help me? [23:36] LjL: I am in business now! Thank you You too Agent_bob and all others that helped! [23:36] oldarney, VLC [23:37] !printer | JoelP been here ? [23:37] JoelP been here ?: 'find' function is disabled [23:37] poo [23:37] Canaris_, under the screens and graphics I try to change it back to the intel graphics and I add a generic LCD with 1024x768, but the best it does is 800x600 with vesa [23:37] No I haven't Agent bob [23:38] maestrojed: make sure sudoers is also owned by root [23:38] Oh look, ubottu is malfunctioning......again :p [23:38] whats this !printer thing [23:38] JoelP there is or at least was an infonode on setting up printers.... i'm looking [23:38] LjL: good advice! [23:38] Guys, when I go full screen on youtube and then I try to go out of full screen the image freeze and I hear only the sound, the image also fill the screen so I can't see the desktop [23:38] gwyo, what ubuntu version r u running? [23:38] I need specific info on setting up my printer. [23:38] Canaris_ Gutsy, i believe [23:38] hi does any1 know how to enable a hardware. I got airpace wifi and just installed madwifi. but the KWifimanager said that it's disable [23:38] gwyo: looked in /etc/X11/ to see if there is a backup of your previous xorg.conf ?? It will be named xorg.conf.20080929 (the date of the backup) [23:38] hey all, try to boot a livecd (8.041) on my dual-pIII , get this flaming error: MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC also booting with noapci wouldnt work [23:38] gwyo, just go into synaptic and look for the right xorg-server module and then have it reinstall [23:38] is there a GUI for /network/interfaces ? [23:39] sacabonos: Flash generally doesn't get along very well with compiz, and I'm kinda guessing that's the issue here. You may want to disable Visual Effects and see if that helps. [23:39] quagmire, happens a lot but doesn't really do any harm. google should have some more info i think [23:39] ubottu is hosed. [23:39] maestrojed: well, i guess there are several, but network-manager is what you're supposed to use in Ubuntu, although 1) i don't think it actually changes /etc/network/interfaces, just changes the settings on the fly 2) i hate it [23:39] 'find' function is disabled [23:39] !test [23:40] mefisto__, there's xorg.conf.1, and xorg.conf.2 [23:40] thanks much, dr_willis, hardcorelinux, agent_bob, I appreciate the effort. It doesn't seem there's an answer for me here, but I did learn a few things. ;-) [23:40] LjL, you're right. AFAIK NetworkManager doesn't change interfaces [23:40] Canaris_ how do I know hte right xorg-server module? [23:40] Canaris_, ubuntu is giving me busybox. i could not boot anyway to ubuntu [23:40] Dudes and gals! How can I prevent a default route being created by ifup on a specified interface? [23:40] bobertdos, I tried disabling compiz but it didn't work [23:40] LjL: ok I will stick to editing the file. I was just curious. Trying to update those settings is how all my troubles started :) (i.e. could not sudo to edit the file) [23:40] patrik: Look in /etc/networking/interfaces [23:40] seero: you may use packages.ubuntu.com, but you will have to satisfy dependencies manually. You can also use the option in synaptic to generate a download script (after choosing to install pppoeconf there) [23:40] quagmire, hmm i dunno then. have u tried googling the error code? [23:40] no one to answer me? [23:41] gwyo, just look if there's one that says intel [23:41] maestrojed: System -> Administration -> Network [23:41] Canaris_ ok [23:41] how i can instal pppoeconf without internet connection on ubuntu hh? [23:41] patrik: My bad, look in /etc/network/interfaces [23:41] hi does any1 know how to enable a hardware. I got airpace wifi and just installed madwifi. but the KWifimanager said that it's disable [23:41] anyone familiar with the default hashing algorithm for the /etc/shadow file? (or where i might be able to find more information on this?) [23:41] My printer is spitting out my blank paper. What do I do? [23:42] patrik: you've probably got a gateway for the offending interface [23:42] maestrojed: well, no, the trouble started when you messed up sudo ;P [23:42] sg1cat: I just read the manpage for it and could find anything usefull. [23:42] sacabonos: Okay, what version of flash? [23:42] gwyo, xserver-xorg-video-***** . there are several. just pick the right one. If u dont know check your computer's specs on the manufacturers website [23:42] joelp: turn of the printer, unplug it and let it be for a few minutes and try again. [23:42] sg1cat: Yes I have a gateway set for it. Should I remove it? [23:42] Canaris_ the intel one is installed [23:42] gwyo, reinstall it [23:42] joelp: unplug from electrical power that is.

[23:42] how i can instal pppoeconf without internet connection on ubuntu hh? [23:42] I am trying to install a program and the ''make install'' is complaining about the line ''typedef complex wavecomplex'', any idea about why it is complaining? The software is not expected to errors in the code. [23:42] hi does any1 know how to enable a hardware. I got airpace wifi and just installed madwifi. but the KWifimanager said that it's disable [23:43] patrik: if you don't want that route, yeah...just be sure you have at least one route amongst your interfaces... (maybe comment out the line ;-) [23:43] !test [23:43] sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [23:43] LjL: So true. But everytime I mess something up I learn a ton :) [23:43] agent_bob working on school computer security project, yes. [23:43] does that work newbiejack? [23:43] yay [23:43] Canaris_ will do [23:43] maestrojed: heh well i guess it's one way to learn [23:43] sg1cat: Ok, I'll try that. Thanks [23:43] newbiejack get the shadow source code. [23:44] newbiejack or use "john" on the password file :))) [23:44] zimbres, are you trying to compile x64 code on x86 or the other way round? [23:44] agent_bob where might i find that? [23:45] newbiejack in the repos. [23:45] !info john [23:45] ugh, it's still printing blank pages. [23:45] bah ubottu is down. [23:45] 'find' function is disabled [23:46] agent_bob: many thanks. [23:46] newbiejack welcome [23:46] please help me my laptop temprature is 92 c? !!! [23:46] Canaris_, i really do not know, but the configure script does not take care of this? Hoe do i find this information? [23:46] !wifi > Moderndayzero [23:47] agent_bob, did you ever find that thing on printing. I need to set this one up in the next 5 mins PRONTO [23:47] bobertdos ubottu is hosed [23:47] They JUST reset him. He was working two nano seconds ago! GAH!! [23:47] hi does any1 know how to enable a hardware. I got airpace wifi and just installed madwifi. but the KWifimanager said that it's disable [23:47] JoelP look on ubuntu.com it's in the user documentation section, and the search feature provided should find it. [23:48] ... [23:48] yeah i know. [23:48] no ubottu should work again now [23:48] bobertdos, Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 [23:48] Well this chat isn't very helpful, you know? [23:48] hi does any1 know how to enable a hardware. I got airpace wifi and just installed madwifi. but the KWifimanager said that it's disable [23:48] joelp: that works many times but may not be the solution for you (referring to my previous suggestion) esp if you its not some driver/printer miscommunication [23:49] newbiejack, it hasn't printed on a linux machine yet. Just on XP. I have the PPD installed. [23:49] JoelP: to me, it looks like all was going well and you were receiving proper support, before you'd start expecting it in N minutes like anyone were being paid to give it... [23:49] JoelP we do tend to rely heavly on the bot to keep up with where that stuff is. [23:49] !pinter | this is the printer thing JoelP, should work now [23:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about pinter [23:49] bobertdos, please consider that this is only happening with youtube [23:49] well, should work if i type it right [23:49] !printer [23:49] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [23:50] yea! ubottu is back [23:50] Support doesn't tell where to go, it helps you out. It guides you. [23:50] I've never called someone and been told to go somewhere else. [23:50] sacabonos: ONLY Youtube, eh? Hm.......... [23:50] is there is power manager for laptops where u can control performance of laptop battery like windows ? [23:50] JoelP, well, no, only when the documentation doesn't have the ready answers. === zewm is now known as zewm_ [23:50] JoelP no. support gives you information you can use to get what you want out of what you have. [23:51] kebomix, you mean set the processor to a lower speed when on battery? [23:51] bobertdos, ya isn't it weird! [23:51] JoelP and for what you are paying for support here, you got a bargen. [23:52] apinsaja [23:52] bobertdos, the Flash version is 9.0 r124 [23:52] hardcorelinux: yeah my laptop heat is high , and i want to put it down , it is 93 C degree , so , how can i customize my laptop performance even on battery or AC Power [23:53] 93 ° C ???? turn it off [23:53] sacabonos: Yup, up, gotcha........I'm a bit stumped though. [23:53] kebomix, that is too high a temperature, are you booting off with 'idle=poll'? [23:53] kebomix err it's been a while sense i saw gnome... but isnt there that "power management" app in the system menu ? [23:53] what is 'idle=poll' ? [23:53] Agent_bob, I get better support from something like AT&T and it's free support.. :\ [23:54] <^paradox^> im just reposting my problem with printer sharing [23:54] kebomix, never mind, what is the make model? [23:54] Don't give me that haha [23:54] bobertdos, I tried googling first but I couldn't find a thing, I have an ATI X1950 btw [23:54] <^paradox^> im trying to share the printer an hp psc 1110 over a network with two computers. the computer the printers hooked up to is a windows vista home pc. im trying to share it to this pc running ubuntu 8.04. [23:54] the gnome power manager dont show much details ! , [23:54] JoelP ok. i'll ignore you then. and someone else can "support you" ;/ [23:54] my laptop is thinkpad r52 [23:54] <^paradox^> ive installed samba, samba-common, smbfs. ive configured it and set the vista pc to share files and printers. the printer receives test pages sent to it but doesnt print them. they show up in the job list saying spooling and the printer physically tries to print them, but to no effect. [23:55] sacabonos: With that new of a card, I assume you're using proprietary drivers, yes? [23:55] hello how do i change the bottom toolbar [23:55] learn2ubuntu before you try to support. :\ [23:55] JoelP: maybe you could try AT&T free support? I'm sure they will help you [23:55] <^paradox^> ive ran printing troubleshooter and opened the cups error log both of which ive put in this pastebin http://rafb.net/p/r113tc58.html [23:55] hardcorelinux: the fan speed became low when i used ubuntu , it was high on windows [23:55] how is umbrella term for drama, thriller, comedy from movies?

[23:55] !ot > shafire [23:55] shafire, please see my private message [23:56] bobertdos, ya I tried installing the driver from AMD website then I uninstalled it and tried envyNG [23:56] Canaris_ I installed the xserver intel one, what do I do now? [23:56] kebomix, I found this app called 'ubuntu-tweak' it should have what you are looking for(set the cpu governor for BATT/AC), but you have fundamental heat problem, you should address that [23:56] anyone know how to change the bottom taskbar [23:57] sacabonos: Huh.........well the last thing I can think of is maybe libflashsupport is causing you grief. Maybe flash 10 would actually HELP you. [23:57] <^paradox^> if anyone can help id really appreciate it. i dont know what else to with the printer [23:58] I can't find my external hdd in fstab or mtab. I can't mount it. help please?
