[00:01] erUSUL: ext3, so i've used e2label... [00:01] deever: and any problems with it? [00:01] lost_boy432: My only other thought is that it is an ipod that isn't supported. For example, my iPod Touch doesn't work at all over usb. [00:01] ok thanks, is there a list of programs that will work in ubuntu somewhere [00:02] JRW135: i already told you... [00:02] erUSUL: do you know how to dynamically rw mount a non-fat32 partition for regular users? [00:02] Why will a usb device not show up at all when 'sudo fdisk -l' is run? [00:02] i mean, one without the fstab === Gun_Smoke_ is now known as Gun_Smoke [00:02] outbri: because you don't use fdisk -l to find a usb device [00:03] outbri: would you happen to know if 5th generation video ipods are supported? this also happens when i try my usb flash devices [00:03] deever, i already told you - you need to adjust permissions on the volume [00:03] deever: ext3? no sorry [00:03] vbman: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Linux_software_equivalent_to_Windows_software [00:03] kitche: what would you use? Does that now show you all devices connected to your system? [00:04] vbman: I think Kino is quite nice [00:04] outbri: fdisk doesn't dmesg does [00:04] outbri: if its a usb device use "lsusb" or "lshw" [00:05] unop: this is not the problem (anymore), but the static, always-present mount points under /media suck...:( [00:05] Hi, somehow the icons disappeared from my desktop. I know that the files are still there, but I can't see them on my desktop. How do I fix this? [00:05] kitche: what command would I run to have dmesg find all the devices? [00:05] ghindo: what icons? [00:06] lost_boy432: try running 'sudo lshw' === freqk is now known as freqk|away [00:06] erUSUL: Icons of files I had saved to the desktop [00:06] ghindo: are the files still on ~/Desktop/ folder? [00:06] erUSUL: Yes. [00:07] hi can i install ubuntu and windows on same system?? [00:07] deever, directories under /media are normally only created when a volume is mounted - they disappear as soon as the volume is dismounted or ejected - so if you have a directory that is always present, you ought to remove it and hopefully you shouldn't see it again [00:07] after being a longtime debian user, i am have decided to migrate from debian to ubuntu. is thiss possible iwthout a cdrom and usb? [00:07] ok, I'm out, very tired, goodnight! [00:07] zeroh, you mean you wish to 'upgrade' a debian system to ubuntu?

[00:08] ghindo: show me the output of « grep DESK ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs » [00:08] ah debootstrap should do it [00:08] cool thanks [00:08] haha hope i dont break my system [00:08] !debootstrap [00:08] debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information [00:08] after a long battle and multiple reboots I finally managed to configure my cisco 350 wiress card, what's the difference between wifi and local network wireless though??? Can someone please explain??? I had to use eth1 instead of wifi under "Network" [00:08] erUSUL: XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" [00:09] XThief, i don't have a shiny solution, but try pastebinning the output of "aptitude search '!~Oubuntu'" [00:09] Ive seen some wireless cards use eth1, some use wlan0, and some - i think use other devices..

I am on a public libary using ubuntu studio on an old lappi PIII with about 256 megs of memory, works like a charm on my ubuntu studio disto! :-) [00:11] XThief, you can install the "pastebinit" package to pastebin faster (command | pastebinit) [00:11] hi [00:11] erUSUL: Is it a setting in Nautilus or something? I can see the desktop background but none of the icons [00:11] erUSUL, [00:11] dr_willis: historicall reasons everything is converging now to use wlan{n} [00:12] erUSUL, i wanna to ask about problem facing me [00:12] ghindo: maybe check the prefrences in nautilus and in gconf-editor under apps>nautilus [00:12] i install a web server on my ubuntu [00:12] dr_willis: mine used to be ra0 (ralink chip) now is wlan0 like it should be XD [00:12] and i wana to access it from internet [00:13] i'm behind a router [00:13] bahaa2008: what's the problem ? [00:13] I'm trying to install eclipse 3.4.1 (Ganymede) but can only find 3.2.2 (Callisto) in synaptic. [00:13] erUSUL, thats the other one. :) ra0... yes.. its best that they are all getting standardized .. be even better if all the companies released drivers and followed the standards as well. :) [00:13] Do I need to choose a different source, or should I install directly from eclipse.org ? [00:13] erUSUL, kitche: do you have any clues for lost_boy432? He is trying to mount a 5th generation video ipod via usb. His output of 'sudo lshw' is http://paste.ubuntu.com/52269/ [00:13] i make all the staff of port forwarding [00:14] XThief: or rather, pastebin aptitude search '~i!~Oubuntu' [00:14] but i cann't access me server using the public ip [00:14] i can access it using network ip [00:14] hi can somebody help me installing my nvidia graphics card on my new laptop? [00:14] but not the public ip [00:14] bahaa2008: with your lan ip it works from other computers? [00:15] how do I convert PDF to JPEG? [00:15] in the network [00:15] the propreitary driver wont work as far as i install it. gnome isnt starting anymore [00:15] is there a way to find out command line if my mainboard has usb 2 or not? [00:15] or how do I convert .doc to jpeg?? [00:15] yes it works in the network [00:15] thomc: lspci should list the usb controllers and tell if they are 2.0 or not [00:16] bahaa2008: so the problem has to be on the port forwarding in the router... [00:16] and the public ip works for anybody outside the network [00:16] no [00:16] jjulian: So you've tried the restricted driver from Ubuntu, or the the proprietary directly from Nvidia's site? [00:16] !nvidia > jjulian [00:16] jjulian, please see my private message [00:16] erUSUL: thanks [00:16] i access it using the public ip using a proxy [00:17] thomc: for example on my mobo → 00:13.3 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 2.0 Controller (rev 01) [00:17] simply [00:17] bobertdos, i tried the restricted but i dont know which one to download from nvidias site mine isnt listed there [00:17] lost_boy432: I don't see your device being recognized at all. See if anything shows up in System>Administration>kern.log when you plug it in. [00:17] quittt: you can use "pdftoppm" from the poppler-utils package, then convert the ppm to jpeg [00:17] anyone knows of a way to record sounds coming from diffent appz(ex. hydrogen and zynaddsubfx) at the same time???

What is your card? [00:18] erUSUL, [00:18] what's a good browser besides firefox for private browsing? [00:18] erUSUL, do u got it ? [00:18] erUSUL: i'm getting - 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM - so I presume that means it's not usb 2.0 [00:18] bahaa2008: yep it works... so from where it fials?

I'll try some of those out. [00:21] travis_: perhaps consider the option of creating a separate user for private browsing [00:21] i read about sothing called NAT Lookup [00:21] bahaa2008: so from your own computer the one with the webserver you can not access the computer via your public ip? [00:21] but i didn't understand it [00:21] hi budies [00:21] yes [00:21] Awkward. That wasn't working before but it did that time [00:21] exactly [00:21] ahh. the problem is I want to do that at the same time I use my normal account, which is why I can't use firefox.

[00:23] XThief: uhm, that didn't even catch libc6... which probably means you installed it from the hardy repositories. try: aptitude search '~i!~VCURRENT' [00:23] XThief: and if that gives no results, then: aptitude search '~i!~VTARGET' [00:23] kitche: What are my options? -vo x11, what else?

[00:23] (including myself) [00:23] keystr0k: Separate home partitions are generally a pretty good idea, but moving home to a separate partition on an already existing install is troublesome. [00:23] erUSUL: that command doesn't show if the they're 1 or 2, but lsusb shows two ports at 1.1 and two at 2.0, which makes sense because I have a usb pci card installed - thanks for your help [00:23] Anusien: if you do -vo I believe it will output all the options [00:23] LjL, thanks!

In the live cd i was able to get the native 1440x900 by folowing this guide http://www.ubuntu-es.org/index.php?q=node/98663 but i dont know why it dosnt works now.. i desperatly need helo [00:58] deadinside:: Go into a terminal and type: lsb_release [00:58] hey, I've got some very old AVI files made using a Logitech Clicksmart 510 Digital Camera using the software on my old windows computer, and I'm trying to play them in Ubuntu, but it won't play with VLC, or Mplayer, or Totem (and totem says it couldn't find the Intel Indeo 5 Codec which is apparently not installed), any suggestions? [00:58] atheros air card i have broadcom too and it works [00:58] deadinside: lsb_release -a [00:58] No LSB modules are available. [00:58] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [00:58] Description: Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS [00:58] Release: 6.06 [00:58] Codename: dapper [00:58] deadinside: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:58] lustic@ubuntuLX:~$ [00:58] why do you just close synaptic and run apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras from a terminal [00:59] lucard find an atheros one it just works [00:59] deadinside: Well that explains it [00:59] ok thanks Yavapai [00:59] if it doesn't work your repository is screwed up [00:59] welll....whats wrong with it. [00:59] atheros is the chip inside a lot of cheap cards [00:59] deadinside: it's OLD [01:00] so wut do i do....thats gay [01:00] Anyone used ISA Inernet Security and Acceleration before? [01:00] deadinside: You really would do well to upgrade to Hardy (and I'd recommend a fresh install). [01:00] Anyone worked with Windows domains before? [01:01] upgrade as in what..buy something? [01:01] deadinside, I do not recommend upgrading to Hardy [01:01] hey, I'm trying to play some old AVI files that don't seem to work in VLC, Mplayer, or Totem, (totem says that Intel Indeo 5 was not available or something) Does anybody know how I can play these files? (If not, then I guess I have about 10.6 GB of videos that are virtually useless) [01:01] deadinside: especially because Hardy is the second LTS release (Dapper was the first). No, I usually make a live CD from the ISO. [01:02] deadinside: fresh installs are MUCH cleaner than direct distro upgrades [01:02] sounds like gibberish to me. [01:02] deadinside: press ALT + F2, then type "update-manager -d" and press Run [01:02] i dont even know where to get these upgrades [01:02] deadinside, I don't recommend using hardy at all unless you have to. a bunch of stuff broke for me between 6.x and 8.x [01:02] does anyone know of a package that helps control fan speeds? i just build a brand new computer and they are at full tilt and are noisy [01:02] well nothing works on mine anyway [01:02] i cant watch videos [01:02] or music or anythings [01:03] Anyone worked with windows environment before?? [01:03] deadinside: You have high speed internet, right? Go to Ubuntu's website and download the ISO (i686) [01:03] deadinside, things that magically stopped working for me: burning CDs (still can't), streaming videos (still can't), automounting USB devices (still can't), iPod synchronization (still can't) [01:03] I nos, i broke it [01:03] i do have highspeed yes. [01:03] deadinside, and a bunch of other stuff has broken that I've managed to fix [01:03] hey all, I'm trying to roll my own version of Ubuntu, just a few minor changes that are really difficult for some of my friends to do. What is the best software for distibution customization? [01:03] well...i cant do annnything [01:03] sp00n i agree that 8.04 is trouble --- never had so much trouble with 7.04 [01:04] i dont even know how to so if i can watch videos then i dont care [01:04] noway, all of the thing I mentioned above worked flawlessly in 6 [01:04] noway, i am seriously pissed here. i've been at this for 6 hours now, and about a week and a half into it with no results. [01:04] deadinside: and yes, given that Hardy has not been our best work, you'd be better off waiting for a month anyway [01:04] could u watch videos spoon? [01:04] As far as I'm concerned, an OS that can't play streaming media through a browser? EPIC FAIL [01:05] deadinside, I could two years ago [01:05] hi [01:05] i cant right now..and i have never been able to watch vids..ive had this comp for like a year im sick of it [01:05] I used a knoppix live disk to resize a windows partition with gparted on a hard disk to make room for ubuntu. sadly it moved the partition to the left after resizing it and i don't think there is room for grub cause i installed ubuntu and it boots windows anyway. will moving the partition a little to the left (1 or 2 mb) fix this? [01:05] i can't keep my usb dongle adapter active for very long :( [01:06] deadinside: wait for Ibex, you'll be better off [01:06] anyone help with fan speed issues in linux? [01:06] deadinside, some of them still work. It was a huge [insert expletive] to get flash vids to work. Even embedded mpegs play choppy in Opera and Firefox. For some reason, Konqueror plays some types of embedded media fine. I now need movs for a class, and nothing I do gets it working at all. [01:06] Clutz, I don't think so [01:06] sp00n: You should have probably tried flash 10. [01:07] bobertdos, I did [01:07] hey all, got a quick question [01:07] me no waiting lol...some one said download i386 or something and someone else said push alt f2 or something now ahat [01:07] sp00n: so i can't install linux ever on this now? [01:07] Clutz, no, yo ucan [01:07] ive got a 20gig tar file, im trying to copy it onto an external harddrive [01:07] but it stops at 4gig and says file too big [01:07] sp00n: without reformatting? === dongery is now known as quaal [01:07] sp00n: It's stable now with FF 3.0.3 === Eric is now known as Guest34488 [01:07] Hi all. How can I determine which controller my hard drives are on during an install of ubuntu? [01:07] Clutz, you probably can, yes. Windows overwrites the MBR, which the computer uses to figure out which OS to boot from [01:08] bobertdos, is that new in the past 2 - 3 weeks? [01:08] some one said download i386 or something and someone else said push alt f2 or something now ahat [01:08] sp00n: after installing ubuntu it booted to windows anyway, any thoughts? [01:08] hi [01:08] hi [01:08] sp00n firefox 3.03 is really recent [01:08] hey [01:09] Clutz, you can probably re-setup grub, and add entries to your grub menu to boot your windows installation [01:09] Clutz I am sure you can [01:09] I have an NVRaid hard drive that's the same size as one of my other drives that's just SATA by itself, without hte motherboard's raid. how can I determine which one I'm going to be installing to? [01:09] hi to all guys ! I have a reiser4 fs somewhere in my disk but cant find any kind of support on kernel for it ? [01:09] sp00n: shouldn't ubuntu have installed grub already? [01:09] Clutz, I did that today with two different versions of Linux [01:10] does anyone know of some software that will allow music streaming to a shoutcast server [01:10] Could not open location 'file:///update manager -d' [01:10] Details: The location or file could not be found. [01:10] Clutz, correct me if I'm wrong anybody, but I read today that grub installs its first stage into a particular partition. each time you install an OS, that OS overwrites the MBR, telling it where to find the first stage of grub [01:10] im a online dj amung other things and i cant seem to find anything like that under linux [01:10] Phoul: Have you checked the shoutcast website for a linux based server? [01:10] I get this message: "The volume uses the reiser4 file system which is not supported by your system." [01:10] im not looking for a server [01:11] Im looking for a program to stream to a server [01:11] Clutz, so each partition with an OS on it could have its own OS's first stage of grub. The MBR always points to one particular first stage of grub. [01:11] kinda like M$'s sam, winamp(ick),Traktor [01:11] Clutz, (grub is a bootloader commonly used by Linux to choose which partition to boot from) [01:11] sp00n: is it possible that i shrank the mbr? [01:12] Hey all anyone able to help with a dual monitor setup for 8.04 and ati video card [01:12] Clutz, If you download the Alternative version of the ubuntu CD, it has an MBR grub repair tool, [01:12] Clutz, window isn't Linux - friendly, and overwrites the MBR to point to just the windows partition. But you can do things like run a linux live disc and choose rescue mode, enter a grub command prompt, and set the MBR back the way you want [01:12] Phoul: Check your msgs [01:12] when i start firefox the little taskbar icon "Starting firefox" thing comes up but it never actually starts. any idea how to remedy this problem? happens occasionally and restarting x is the only solution i've found [01:13] is there a way to get reiser4 module for 2.6.24-19-generic ? [01:13] sp00n: i'll try [01:13] Clutz, this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows should help === lint_ is now known as deadlinside === deadlinside is now known as dead|nside [01:13] hi [01:13] Clutz, also this one http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [01:14] sp00n: windows didn't wipe it out i think though [01:14] sp00n: i installed ubuntu and rebooted, no grub came [01:14] Any ati users out there? [01:14] Clutz, I know, but it sounds like the MBR is just pointing to the windows bootstrap loader, and you want it to point to your linux distro's grub [01:14] I know there is a murder on that story and all, but is there a way to get reiser4 working on Ubuntu ? [01:14] hello how cn i see my kernel version? [01:14] can* [01:15] Clutz, when you run root(your drives) and setup (your drive) in a grub prompt, it tells the MBR what partition to look for the bootloader on [01:15] kpoman short of dping your own kernel, doesnt sound like it [01:15] sp00n: so, moving my partition to the left as far as it can go isn't the reason? [01:15] where would i go for kdenlive help [01:15] Clutz, honestly, I'm not really sure what you mean by that. [01:15] !anyone | Tricyclethief [01:15] Tricyclethief: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

[01:16] sp00n: i booted knoppix live cd and ran gparted, i set it to have 80gb at the end of the partition and didn't realize that it removed the 1 or 2mb it had prior to the partition [01:16] kpoman do a lsmod, you'll notice that ubuntu loads everything but the kitchen sink by default, if you have no support you'll have to do your own [01:16] sp00n: it moved the entire partition over as far as it would allow [01:16] Tri: Sure [01:16] I'm trying to find out which hard drive controller my drives are connected to during install. How can I do that? I have a 320GB raid1 array on an nvraid controller on my motherboard, and a 3rd 320gb drive for ubuntu. how can i make sure i'm not clobbering the raid array? [01:16] I dont know maybe some source to add ? [01:17] Clutz, was this before or after you installed windows? [01:17] i dont get this.. in the live cd i was able to have a full resolution of 1440x900 and descktop efects.. naw that it is instaled i am with a 800x600.. anyone please help me [01:17] Tricyclethief: because who saw your message didn't knew how to solve it.

[01:17] sp00n: yes [01:18] madache [01:18] Clutz, run the disk management tool and see what it says your partitions are at...that is in control panel -> system administration [01:18] Tri: Are you comfortable editing your xorg.conf file? [01:18] yes ive edited it about 10times so far, mostly ending up with white or black screens [01:18] Clutz, I think you can also get to it with start-> run -> diskmgmt.msc [01:19] salut tout le monte [01:19] Tricyclethief: what are you exactly trying to do? Install the propietaries drivers? [01:19] curtleee2002: closest ive gotten is dual screens at login, but once i put in my username/pass it reverts to clone [01:19] Clutz, I'm trying to make sure you didn't accidentally wipe out a partition, or just verify that your partitions are still set how you had intended them. I think windows will not detect linux ext type partitions [01:20] sp00n: Disk 0: Partition 1 = 385.76GB NTFS | Partition 2 76.70GB Unknown | Partition 3 3.30GB Unknown [01:20] Clutz, it'll say they're an unknown file type and try to format them or something, if I recal [01:20] !fr | ubuneophite [01:20] ubuneophite: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[01:22] curtlee2002: ok what next, gonna take notes then try it [01:22] Clutz, ok, so that's all as it should be. resizing those partitions shouldn't make the grub on the linux partiton unusable [01:22] mEck0: Try a different refresh rate?

Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:23] Clutz, so you'll need to boot off a liveCD so you can access the grub command prompt, and set grub up in the MBR so it can detect both your OSs [01:23] Gr33n3gg: how can I do that in xorg.conf? because gnome-display-properties only shows 60Hz [01:23] sp00n: ok [01:23] you ee the thing is [01:23] sp00n: i'll go try that, ty [01:23] see* [01:23] Clutz, I don't know why it didn't get installed right. Do you have just one hard drive with several partitions, or is that several physical drives? [01:23] Tri: The basic idea is to have 2 Section "Device" with different Identifier [01:23] i had to do that just to get some attention [01:23] Gr33n3gg: or can I even try another refresh rate directly with a xrandr-command? [01:23] names [01:23] sp00n: 1 hard drive [01:23] i actually have that right now [01:23] can anyone give me an example of how a xorg.conf file should be if i need a 1440x900 resoution [01:23] Iodous, the enter key doesn't qualify as inpunctuation [01:24] theres something im missing in my xorg file and just cant find it === freqk|away is now known as freqk [01:24] in other news: Tricyclethief, your nick is win.

Repeat the question every 15 or 20 minutes [01:25] sp00n: tyvm, i'll get right on it [01:26] mEck0: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Howto_change_resolution & http://www.perpetualpc.net/srtd_resolution.html [01:26] <_mach> i'm downloading the ubuntu iso, does it come ready with GCC/GDB?

[01:26] Tri: The basic idea is to have 2 Section "Device", 2 Section "Monitor", 2 Section "Screen", and Section "ServerLayout" [01:26] jmichelsen: take a look at all files that appear when you install the package. Then just remove them. [01:27] yeah i have that in my file now, but while looking over that website you listed i see a few little details i didnt have [01:27] so, my audigy 2 value worked just fine on my first install of ubuntu. I reinstalled, and now it doesn't work at all. I tried removing and reinstalling all the ansa stuff (along with the gnome gui), and I read about a patch for audigy cards. I've downloaded it, but have no idea how to implement it. [01:27] jmichelsen: also, it's possible that you're just removing the front-end of the program, so you're not removing the options [01:27] consolover: the package is huge, there would be no way really to do that, [01:27] consolover: im removing the package completely the same way i installed it, why doesnt apt-get purge actually purge? [01:28] thanks for the info guys, gonna try some things and ill be back if i still have problems =) [01:28] where did XMMS go? [01:28] jmichelsen: you can see that on the synaptic package manager. There's an option there to see all the files installed. The ones that hold options are kept in /etc or /home. Take a look at them [01:28] how can i install kernek 2.6.27 in ubuntu 64 bits?????????? [01:29] consolover: thanks [01:29] pibe86: you compile it yourself [01:29] consolover: can you give me a webpage to learn how to [01:29] Gr33n3gg: 60Hz seems to be the only available ref.rate for the monitor :S what else could be wrong? I think its either a bug or a setting somewhere. I mean, its working perfectly in Windows at 60Hz [01:29] dibblego: it's development stopped.

I tried installing it through .deb packages but it will not let me install all of them [01:36] curtlee2002: yes i do [01:36] pibe86: use pastepic then [01:36] consolover: sure [01:36] OuTstanDinG: Google your problem for a better answer. === bonek is now known as riko [01:36] remember scumbar and that guy with the thing saying "ask me about loom[tm]", well could someone please tell me about debootstrap, after a chroot is working, can i copy it onto a system and boot it? [01:37] GreyWolf79: Have you tried 'apt-get'? [01:37] I'm trying to find out which hard drive controller my drives are connected to during install. How can I do that? I have a 320GB raid1 array on an nvraid controller on my motherboard, and a 3rd 320gb drive for ubuntu. how can i make sure i'm not clobbering the raid array and installing to theactual sata(as opposed to raid) disk? [01:37] pibe86: I just did this yesterday on a computer. It worked fine. [01:37] Why are you trying to install 8.10?

[01:37] pibe86: Try setting your repository to MAIN [01:37] Fishscene: he wants the latest kernel and don't want to compile it [01:38] does any one know how to do an external monitor with 8.04 and an ati graphics catrd [01:38] ponicg, dmesg | grep /dev/nameOfPartition [01:38] You can download the 8.10 install cd with the latest build [01:38] pibe86: make all the possible updates before updating [01:38] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ [01:38] consolover: hummmmm i will do that right now [01:39] Would someone help me apply an ansa patch? (audigy2_value-support.diff) [01:39] Hi. I have an extra hard drive mounted and the owner and permissions on all the stuff is not what I would like it to be, really. How do I change the permissions on all these many directories and files so that I can do whatever I want to them as a normal user account? [01:39] hello folks, I have followed all steps to get ASLA drivers working for my soundcard (which is a Echo Layla3G) but I'm afraid that it doesn't seem to work. lspci lists it, but "alsactl names" shown no device found, any ideas? [01:39] thanks :) [01:39] well, I am out. No udev help here [01:39] papna, there should be a recursive option (meaning it applies to all files/folders below the directory you specify) [01:39] papna: "chmod -R 777 /path to folder" but be careful with the -R option [01:40] <_mach> i'm downloading the ubuntu iso, does it come ready with GCC/GDB? [01:40] papna, you don't want to do that if you care about security though [01:40] _mach, no, but they're easily installed. [01:40] I saw this comment "My problem has now been resolved thanks to iFvwm in the #ubuntu IRC channel - all I had to do was install the linux-ubuntu-modules package for my kernel!", can someone else explain this further? [01:40] papna: that, based on the principle that you want it readable, writable and executable by everyone [01:40] I need some help with firestarter please. I am setting up a wireless network and all goes well until I start up firestarter. I tried putting my ip address from laptop in policies with samba but still does not work. Anytime I wish to connect the network I have to disable firestarter. Any suggestions? [01:40] onx: that didn't return anything. is dmesg enabled during the install or should i boot to the livecd first? [01:40] I just did a reinstall of hardy and when I got to NBC.com the video loader won't work [01:41] _mach, all you have to do is select these two packages from add/remove software build-essential and gdb [01:41] consolover, Fishscene, thanks. [01:41] when i try inserting a SD card into my cardreader, linux complains that it can't mount it [01:41] any ideas? [01:41] papna: but take a look at man chmod to make it what you want. 6th paragraph explains the meaning of the numbers and what to use based on what you want [01:42] ponicg, i'd try the livecd. tbh sometimes the order of disks switches after install, in that case you'll have to edit your fstab [01:42] danopia__: does it appear in sudo fdisk -l ? [01:43] consolover, i think so, as /dev/sdf1 [01:43] danopia__: also, what exactly does it say? Do you have a button on that warning that gives more output on the reason? [01:43] Failed to mount "KODAK" [01:43] onx: I'll give that a shot, thanks. [01:43] let me reinsert it for the rest [01:43] i want a prog/script thatrecursively scans a folder and deletes any file that is smaller than 1mb. any ideas? [01:44] sorry folks, can anyone shed some more light on ASLA? really appreciate your help :) [01:44] yuri_: find and xargs ? [01:44] has anyone here used linux on an asus 1000h? [01:44] olas [01:44] consolover, now hte error is not appearing [01:44] una consulta? [01:44] Wow.. never used this irc stuff before [01:45] guys, which of the packages of the ubuntu allows to get the kernel sources to compile a specific module which is not delivered with the distro ? [01:45] linxeh: so you think something like rm | find xargs ?

Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate." what do i do?

[01:59] carandraug: explain [01:59] sp00n: yep, perfectly [01:59] anyone use compiz? [01:59] how would rsync help [01:59] hello ? [01:59] Clutz, awesome. That's a rare thing in linux. Now if I could just get streaming movs working...... [01:59] LeeshaPeesha: sorry. No idea. Never had that error.Just google for it to see if I could find something [01:59] cos i am running debian on my native installation [02:00] unop: Yeah [02:00] and in my chrooted i have ubuntu [02:00] danopia__, try testdisk to recover your files, then repartition/reformat the card [02:00] sp00n: did you try adding medibuntu repos and updating? [02:00] mikebot, ok, well, all good i suppose [02:00] sp00n: q: [02:00] :) [02:00] danopia__, seems some digicams have issues formatting sdhc cards [02:00] has anyone here ever run linux on an asus 1000h?

[02:01] zeroh: you create another partition, rsync the contents of /var/chroot/hardy to that partition, get rid of Debian, put on a LiveCD, edit menu.lst and that's it. You can use cfdisk to move the partitions [02:01] Does anyone know how to clos a split screen in screen? [02:01] sp00n: hmm, so you can't stream movies on youtube or anything? [02:01] ok later ppl thx again for the help draug ^^ [02:01] every second time I boot my computer eth0 doesn't get assigned an address and I have to reboot again to make DHCP assign an address, what's going on?

[02:02] I don't get assigned an address [02:02] how is it i could be behind a proxy? could my isp have done this? [02:02] HardyHeron: Have you tried 'ifup eth0' or /etc/init.d/dhcp start? [02:02] Clutz, well, I can stream youtube, but it's kind of choppy. I need to stream movs for a class I'm taking. and I can't get that to work at all [02:03] carandraug: i said i did not have a cd [02:03] so thats a nogo [02:03] hi [02:03] sp00n: what web browser/app are you using to stream? [02:03] Can someone tell me why grub is repeating: GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB over and over? [02:03] I posted a moment ago about some files on a drive I mounted. I used `sudo chown -R mike /media/disk/directory' and `sudo chmod -R 600 /media/disk/oldhome/' to try to get these files how I wanted them, but now (logged in as `mike') I cannot view these files logged in normally. [02:03] help please ! I need to have reiser4 module on my ubuntu ! how do I do that ? [02:03] how do I check the integrity of a kubuntu disk without booting from it? [02:03] dusker, http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/?module=moreinfo [02:03] mikebot: seems you followed my advice on screen. You kill the side you no longer need [02:04] sudo ifdown eth0 [02:04] ifdown: interface eth0 not configured [02:04] Clutz, I think it might genuinely be a hardware incompatibility or something. I have tried firefox, konqueror, and opera, with xine, mplayer, and vlc plugins. I even booted into a liveCD of a different distro and got the exact same failures out of the box [02:04] s/oldhome/directoty or the reverse in my question. :p [02:04] zeroh: hmm, you edit the file before the rsync. You can do that [02:04] quit [02:04] HardyHeron: I'll PM you.

[02:07] Clutz, true. That's probably worth a shot [02:07] zeroh: Do you have more than one partition? The way I proposed, you'll need that [02:07] sp00n: good luck to you :) [02:07] pibe86: went wrong? [02:07] i'm trying 2 install 8.40.1 and can't get it to run. i keep getting a msg "buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0". i figured out that thew install is looking for a floppy that i don't have. i read to try using the alternate CD to install, but i don't know how to use it (it's a txt based installer). can anyone help me? [02:08] Clutz, thx [02:08] carandraug: i still dont see update to 8.10 [02:08] anyone have any ideas? [02:08] sudo ifup eth0 [02:08] Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0. [02:08] help!

We have FloodBot2 here [02:11] kpoman, reiserFS might be a risky choice :) [02:11] carandraug: i have 3 partitions /boot / and /home/ [02:11] Okay, I think I get it, directories have to have executable permissions? Things seem to mess up when that is not the case. If so, can someone advice how I would change all normal files to rw- and all directories to rwx? [02:11] smmagic: and the other have numbers [02:12] smmagic: the alternate install cd lets me select the Install Ubuntu option, then it displays a few errors, then (after 5 mins) i get a command prompt. i assume i need to know some commands to start the install and set insall params, but i don't know any [02:12] zeroh: do you also want to get rid of Debian's /home? [02:12] carandraug: i have a full working copy of ubuntu in my /var/chroot/ folder [02:12] I dont know about errors like that c5p1zz, mine just went straight through [02:12] no i want to keep my home [02:13] so basically i want to whipe out / and /boot [02:13] and replace them with what i have in /var/chroot/ [02:13] onx: it is reiser4, and i already have the partition with 30GB of data on reiser4, I only want to access it to backup the data [02:13] <_haywire_> what's the command to show the installed wireless driver? [02:13] how do i do that without loosing stuff like ls when i remove/replace /sbin/ /bin etc [02:13] zeroh: oh! I thought the third was swap. But that's still okay [02:13] does anyone know where to find instructions on installing 8.40.1 from the alternate CD (text-based installer)?

That's what I was writing [02:22] zero, try init 1 [02:22] but how does one boot into a folder [02:22] hmm [02:22] carandraug: ok now i understand [02:22] Flannel: ok now i understand [02:23] that should let you move stuff on your / around [02:23] im gonna look into the grub menu file [02:23] hardy is installed on my dell 1525 inspiron, what will be my source in kismet.conf source=none,none,addme [02:23] carandraug: i am upgrading because i have a laptop and it does not reconice my wireless red [02:23] maybe with new kernel it will works [02:23] carandraug: root=/dev/sda3 that is the issue [02:23] how do i change that to a folder [02:23] carandraug: maybe with new kernel it will works [02:24] if htat is possible this can work [02:24] is there a way to go from raid-0 to raid-5? [02:24] thats why you asked about another partition [02:24] zeroh, you dont.. you give the proper path to the device in the other parts of the grub configs [02:24] or bum raid- [02:24] zeroh, root is the 'root' / start of the path to where it begins to look for the files. [02:24] carandraug: dude i have a swap patition 4 gigs big [02:24] haha i forgot [02:24] sweet [02:25] hardy is installed on my dell 1525 inspiron, what will be my source in kismet.conf source=none,none,addme....my wlan driver is Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) [02:25] dr_willis: yes i know === root is now known as Guest1076 [02:25] does anyone have a howto for manually moving from ubuntustudio feisty fawn to ubuntu hardy heron? [02:25] or should I just compile the new kernel and apt-get upgrade everything? [02:25] [after changing repos, of course] [02:26] tonsofpcs: What happens if you remove the desktop package and install the package "ubuntu-desktop"? [02:26] can one run beryl/compiz from the Live-cd to try it out? [02:26] I'm throwing the idea out there- not saying that it's a solution [02:26] zeroh: this is the strategy I would try (I would also backup if I could) and would be expecting to work. 1- edit Debian's /boot/grub/menu.lst to point to point Ubuntu's kernel, 2-change Debian's /home folder name (to avoid conflict with Ubuntu's home), 3-rsync /var/chroot/ to the partition where you have Debian's /home, 4-edit /boot/grub/menu.lst in the Ubuntu that you just copied, 5- boot to the new copied Ubuntu, 6- delete Debian stu [02:26] ff but keep old Ubuntu, 7-boot into old ubuntu, 8-rsync new ubuntu to where was debian and edit menu.lst (again), 9 boot into the newest ubuntu and get rid of all the others [02:26] Fishscene: iirc, nothing, it's a metapackage [02:26] hi all [02:26] Hello all. I have a question about xmms not being able to play in fluxbox. It says that I have no Gstreamer plugins configured or that I don't have a sound card configured and yet I have all of that working in GNOME [02:26] corexcore, the live cd does not have the ndidia/ati 3d drivers.. so it wont work very well.. there are other live cd's with those drivers.. but ubuntu dosent include them for legal reasons [02:26] It plays well in GNOME too. [02:27] dr_willis: can you give a reference to such a live-cd maybe in a priv? === digitalvectorz is now known as edo32mb [02:27] i'm here yet again with another question... i'm trying to compile atk but ./configure exits with the following error: pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0 returned 2.18.1 but GLIB (2.16.4) was found. [02:27] can't you install the binary drivers on a livecd / modprobe and restart x? [02:27] I just tried adding a script to startup using update-rc.d and it doesn't seem to be running when I boot up. Is there a log file for rc.d somewhere so I can see if there were any errors? [02:27] zeroh: you could try and make partitions in the RAM to try and do that faster but I don't trust that [02:27] corexcore, i dont know of any off hand.. the Sabayon Live DVD - has them I think.. but its a 4+gb download [02:27] I have glib 2.18.1 installed and i'm completely stumped as to what to do :S [02:28] carandraug: i have a 4 gig SWAP patition i just made into a ext3 fs [02:28] live dvd =) luls.. now we're talking download [02:28] i can do this myself now [02:28] :) thanks for the effort though [02:28] corexcore, it also has metisse and some other neat tools/features that are fun to play with [02:28] hope this works [02:28] zeroh: ok, good luck [02:28] Hello all. I have a question about xmms not being able to play in fluxbox. It says that I have no Gstreamer plugins configured or that I don't have a sound card configured and yet I have all of that working in GNOME [02:28] :) [02:29] if this works i will document it [02:29] dr_willis: cool dist otherwize? this is the first time I hear about sabayon, so can't be that big. [02:29] zeroh: good call [02:29] #bandung [02:29] i love debootstrap [02:30] corexcore, its prebuilt-gentoo with some stuff.. its got a lot of neat features.. but I only used it for a week or 2. Its neat that it has Metisse as an alternative to compiz for fancy eyecandy/features :) [02:30] Hey I'm using Wicd but after an update whenever I try to run Wicd it says that the gui.py file does not exist [02:30] corexcore, its worth the download to play with for a few hrs [02:30] how i can install gyach on my dekstop?

Users control it to make it faster answering to those questions [02:34] I need to compile gtk+ so I can compile a graphical utility for my ralink rt73 wireless usb dongle [02:34] tijuana: Why don't you just install it from the repos?

Gutsy is not. [02:36] onx: no.

(apt-get install gtk shows over a hundred packages) [02:38] How long umtill i will be forced to upgrade to the Next release due to 8.04 being End of Lifed? [02:38] TopBunny88: 9.10 [02:39] or will I have to reinstall? [02:39] TopBunny88: 8.04 will last three years on the desktop. So April of 2011 [02:39] TopBunny88: erm, sorry. 11.04 since it is LTS [02:39] jrib: Thank you\ [02:39] Iodous: no idea. Never had to switch it, don't know where that info is kept. Maybe in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:39] and Flannel :) [02:39] sarthor, /j #kismet [02:39] ok i got it to work haha [02:40] caran do you know how to get an external monitor to work for a lap top? [02:40] onx, Ok. [02:40] I just tried adding a script to startup using update-rc.d and it doesn't seem to be running when I boot up. Is there a log file for rc.d somewhere so I can see if there were any errors? [02:41] Iodous: no. I mentioned it to you before. I was consolover [02:41] well does any one know how to get an external monitor working? [02:42] or any one know of a room that could help me [02:42] Not beyond "plug monitor into power supply and computer, turn monitor on." [02:42] Hi, I just walked my friend through installing Ubuntu on her laptop with Wubi, and now she wants to find her music. All her music she listened to on Vista was ripped from cd with iTunes. We can't figure out where iTunes saved the music. Anyone here know? [02:42] no, like it will start up with the machine but once i get to log on the external just goes back [02:42] black [02:42] Iodous, have you read the xorg page on the ubuntu help site? searched for xorg on ubuntu forums....those are good places to start [02:43] Flannel or anyone, I have apt-get updated, and it still does not work. The package list seems fine when I do type out a full name. (Incidentally, `sudo apt-get upda montana13: look for a buch of m4a files [02:43] carandraug:where should I look? [02:43] Iodous: are you wanting to use both the laptop screen and external monitor at once, or just the external monitor? [02:43] no i havent done that yet [02:43] papna: Do you have tab completion turned off perhaps? [02:43] i cant see arabic fonts on my hardy how to install that.. not able to see this text.. http://bbcurdu.com [02:43] hello guys i have problem with my usb modem and cd rom when i connect them they dont show in /media or desktop but in emsg i find them but when i connect usb flash memory its detect it and can check the files in side it [02:44] Iodous, its black because you need to present xorg with it presence and config...if you havent got a video card that works with nvidia-settings then your going to have to config it through the /etc/X11/xorg.conf files manually [02:44] montana13: I don't know. I know however that itunes (at least on mac) uses m4a files which are uncommon in Vista. That way, if you search for m4a files, you'll most likely find where the files are kept [02:44] Flannel, it works for finding directories and such. If it god turned off, that's not how I meant to do t. [02:44] is their any type of guide [02:44] am I silly for wondering if windows-xp could be hacked up to run in its own loop-mounted device? [02:44] montana13: try "locate m4a" [02:44] Flannel, Rather, I mean to express that I never did anything intending to turn it off.

[02:48] smelian, your usb modem is proly not going to work...but with your cdrom drive i suggest plugging it in all by itself, and putting a cdrom in it....if that doesnt work then have it plugged in when you turn your computer on [02:48] hey, um.. I've noticed in 8.04, when booting it no longed shows what it's doing; is there a way to reenable that feature? [02:48] vedus, pastebin your script please [02:49] airtonix : i did everything but cant find it in desktop or /media and the usm modem its have files inside it its run like cd [02:49] Miksago: Turn off quiet and splash in your menu.lst [02:49] k [02:49] smelian, can you provide a prodcut page for your modem then please [02:49] Miksago: you mean not see the splash screen?

[02:49] smelian, product/manufacturers page* [02:50] montana13: did she just run the locate command? [02:50] Ok, here's the question: I know nothing about Linux. I was able to install Ubuntu on a partition on my laptop (Dell inspiron with Intel Core 2 Duo 3 gb RAM 2 GHz 250 GB HDD), but I can't connect to my wireless network. My wireless card is: Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-card. I'm dual-booting with Vista, which is where I'm typing from. [02:50] carandraug / Flannel: Um, no, I mean when it's booting, saying Ubuntu, with the loading bar [02:50] Hi all! I am VERY new to Linux and Ubuntu. I have a dual display setup and I was wandering if someone could tell me how to rotate one of the screens 180 degrees and make it "expand" my desktop? I went into System->Administrator->Screens & Graphics, but it only shows the external monitor (laptop) with its max resolution and the other screen's menu is grayed out. When I click on it it shows it as Disabled. I am using 7.10 and I have [02:50] montana13, you can restart gnome-panel : sudo killall gnome-panel -9 [02:50] airtonix :http://www.bandrich.com/download03.aspx?id=2&c=25&lang=3 but im using ubuntu no drive for it [02:50] carandraug: no, it froze before that. [02:51] smelian, im looking at it now...one sec [02:51] Miksago: Right. Thats usplash [02:51] airtonix : the problem not how to make it work i have the config but the problem how to mount it [02:51] Miksago: that's the splash screen. Remove that option from the menu.lst file. You know how to do that? [02:51] not really [02:51] I've got menu.lst open now though [02:51] Miksago: theres a line near the top that starts with #kopt= [02:51] she cant get to the terminal. alt-f2 doesn't work [02:51] somebody can tell me how to set to run console application from desktop? [02:51] Miksago: with write permissions? [02:51] smelian, as i said unless your modem uses the international standards of usb mass storage then it wont mount it without drivers [02:52] I have libpam-blue installed and I found out how to configure it, but the default way is I have to enter the username first and then authenticate with bluetooth. Is there a way to make it enter the username and login automatically? [02:52] airtonix: she cant get to the terminal. alt-f2 doesn't work [02:52] carandraug: yes, write permissions (sudo vim'd) [02:52] Anyone think they know what's wrong? [02:52] montana13: is that permanent? Did she tried to reboot and see if i persists? [02:52] montana13, try the sysreq method [02:52] Miksago: remove splash from that line (don't uncomment it) and you probably want to remove quiet too [02:52] airtonix : aha so i should forget about makeing it work in ubuntu > [02:53] airtonix: she cant. no panels, no alt-f2 [02:53] smelian, that wasnt the product page...you gave me the driver page [02:53] Miksago: look for the kernel line on the option that you use to boot and remove splash (it's at the end of the line) [02:53] airtonix: reboot worked [02:53] !sysreq | montana13 [02:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about sysreq [02:53] I am running a Gutsy Ubuntu "perfect server" with Ispconfig - I bought an SSL certificate from GoDaddy and I am having problems setting it up.

[02:53] umm.. : # kopt=root=UUID=cb2d0515-1037-4d84-a519-c696a5aa45fb ro [02:53] sec dude [02:53] airtonix, thanks for questioning the code. it's a pathing issue. i'm referencing files in the same directory as the script without a path which isn't being referenced by the launcher. [02:53] is that right? [02:53] montana13, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=617349 [02:53] Miksago: sorry, defoptions [02:54] ah [02:54] Miksago: not kopt [02:54] carandraug: ok i made the menu.lst correct, and i am copying over the files then i will reboot and see if i cna get on my new system [02:54] airtonix : thats it http://www.bandrich.com/products03.aspx?id=2&c=25&lang=3 [02:54] right, just saw that [02:54] Hi all! I am VERY new to Linux and Ubuntu. I have a dual display setup and I was wandering if someone could tell me how to rotate one of the screens 180 degrees and make it "expand" my desktop? I went into System->Administrator->Screens & Graphics, but it only shows the external monitor (laptop) with its max resolution and the other screen's menu is grayed out. When I click on it it shows [02:54] slick if it works [02:54] ok so I downloaded what I thought was gtk+ (gtk2-engine it was called) and now when I run the configure script for RutilT (the GUI for my wireless adapter) it tells me gtk2 isn't installed... When I try compiling gtk from a tarball I found on gtk.org it tells me atk isn't present... however when I apt-get atk it tells me the latest version is already installed :S [02:54] montana13: when I said reboot, I was not mentioning cold reboot [02:54] so.. #defoptions=splash quite => defoptions= [02:54] tijuana: Don't use the tarball. You'll need to install a -dev file for gtk [02:54] what does eth0:avahi mean? [02:54] Miksago: No, don't uncomment it. [02:54] k [02:55] ok, will do [02:55] Miksago: but, other than that, the removal of "splash quiet" is correct. [02:55] Hi, I am having trouble connecting my Ubuntu tower to my XP laptop [02:55] Flannel: okay [02:55] smelian, i dont see anything there about it being a storage device. [02:55] Miksago: Save, exit, then sudo update-grub [02:55] Another question: manually reloading network drivers [02:56] How do I tarnsfer files between the 2, I am using a cross-over cable. [02:56] airtonix : so dude what i should do [02:56] Flannel: reloaded okay. [02:56] my ubuntu is making a windows login sound when it starts up, how can i change it? [02:56] zeroh: cool [02:56] Hi all! I am VERY new to Linux and Ubuntu.

[03:01] trece8, then its time to petition the manufacturer [03:01] ubottu, let me rephrase [03:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about let me rephrase [03:02] trece8, ubottu is a channel bot...

My wireless card is: Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-card. I'm dual-booting with Vista, which is where I'm typing from. [03:02] airtonix, and i'm dumb! LOL [03:02] tijuana: You'll have to figure out what its looking for and install it [03:02] Miksago: So I can't just hookup a network cable and transfer some files? [03:02] :) [03:03] Elijah: should be able to; it worked for me.. but the files need to be shared [03:03] Elijah, you would need to configure the sharing like you would in windows [03:03] I have to get the left the room/joined the room right now! [03:03] Flannel: ok, i'll let you know if I need more help k? :) [03:03] Elijah: the way i did it was to share on windows, and make a share on ubuntu [03:03] then copy acorss [03:03] I tried installing the nvidia restricted drivers as well as using the nvidia driver from the nvidia site but both gave me a black screen after the ubuntu loading bar finished. I'm using EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GT Superclocked. Anyone know what I should do? [03:03] Clutz: i read that item [03:03] tijuana: Generally asking the channel in general is the best way, but yes.

[03:04] Clutz: I have a solution but I believe it's not encouraged by the current Ubuntu people [03:04] trece8: i didn't, that's what it's called on the box [03:04] omg, wtf is happening?! [03:04] !omg [03:04] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [03:05] Clutz: didn't understand [03:05] omg and lol came from IRC way before IM existed [03:05] Miksago: Well hopefully that get's easier in the future. Thanks. I guess I will go spend an hour figuring out Samba. [03:05] need help on a wireless issue anyone ? [03:05] hmm.. How can i find out when the Realtek RTL-8111C Gigabit ethernet drive works? [03:05] !wireless | mttr [03:05] airtonix, that video card is called "superclocked" and comes stock overclocked afaik [03:05] mttr: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:05] Damn Straight [03:05] magnet: The etymology isn't important. Things like that are difficult for people to read, especially if they're not native speakers. [03:05] trece8: sorry used your name isntead of airtonix [03:05] !wtf | eight [03:05] eight, please see my private message [03:05] eight: Did you have an Ubuntu question?

[03:06] Clutz: using Envy [03:06] Flannel: no my irc was acting up, sorry [03:06] did someone read my problems about linux-rt and 1680x1050 resolution giving blank screen or didn't? This chat is toooo fast [03:06] magnet: Envy will get my graphics card working properly? [03:07] airtonix, if there's warranty on it why not :) [03:07] it's a program that will do all for you (that is, build a proper nvidia module using the dpkg tools) [03:07] yes [03:07] if it's an Nvidia one [03:07] trece8, can you pastebin the results of : lspci please [03:07] Is the python exectuable 568 megabytes? [03:07] trece8, get rid of join/part msg's and it slows down a lot [03:07] magnet: why is it not recommended by other ubuntu people? [03:07] it's as simple as it gets, but like most of these programs I believe they Ubuntu people don't like it [03:07] yes, airtonix, right away, wait 20 seconds === HardyHeron is now known as complex_number [03:07] no idea -- it does automatically what you would do if you compiled the drivers cleanly [03:07] magnet: i'll get it a try, thx [03:07] I'm not even sure it's unrecommended [03:08] trece8, i cant promis anything but i can arm you with good info that will help you move the problem along [03:08] I do use it and it works thunder [03:08] magnet, Clutz: you're required to run it each time you have a kernel upgrade, etc. [03:08] !envyng [03:08] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [03:08] is um... Intrepid the next version of ubunu? [03:08] Miksago: it is. [03:08] k [03:08] that's the true meaning of help, airtonix... :) [03:08] Miksago: it is [03:09] Flannel: well since it's built against the kernel, it's normal that it won't work after an update; however I didn't have more success using the 'official' restricted nvidia packages :) [03:09] Flannel: do you have another recommendation? The restricted driver and the nvidia driver from their site both gave me the black screen of doom after the ubuntu loading bar finishes [03:09] magnet, Clutz: see the factoid [03:09] can anyone give me a hand splitting a tar archive up into accessible parts? [03:10] I need help with the irqpoll option. How do i use it? [03:10] Clutz: envy is clean; if ever you have a kernel upgrade and you don't get X running, just edit xorg.conf and go back to nv the time to run envy again [03:10] Seriously guys, is there no easy way to just get some XP files onto my Ubuntu box with a network cable? This Samba thing looks way to time consuming right now. [03:10] can anyone help me figure out why when i installed ubuntu to a sata disk on my nforce4 motherboard that grub now loads with GRUB GRUB GRUB .... GRUB GRUB [03:10] that's how easy it is. [03:10] Elijah: use FTP [03:10] Flannel: it says use Envy as a last resort and at your own risk, what else do i need to try first? [03:10] magnet: thx for info [03:10] or better, SSH with winSCP [03:11] Clutz: the official methods (restricted drivers manager) [03:11] Elijah, samba = windows networking [03:11] Flannel: tried that and the driver from the nvidia site, both gave same black screen [03:11] Elijah: sftp is indeed the easiest. Just install openssh-server, and use a client to connect (I suggest filezilla, but there are others) [03:12] Deluge or Vuze? [03:12] is there a way to roll back the version of pidgin that I currently have? I have 2.4 running in ubuntu 8.04 and I'm having an issue with not getting googletalk messages [03:12] hello i'm new to ubuntu === luis_lopez is now known as luis_lopez_away [03:12] I have libpam-blue installed and I found out how to configure it, but the default way is I have to enter the username first and then authenticate with bluetooth. Is there a way to make it enter the username and login automatically? [03:13] GreedyB, ? those are two different types of apps afaik [03:13] drone_: try 2.5.1? [03:13] airtonix, ooops hmmm [03:13] I was unaware that there was a newer version [03:13] phirestalker: Try looking in the README.Debian file, it might mention it. [03:13] thanks though [03:13] Vuze and Deluge are both torrent clients no? === acetar_ is now known as acetar [03:13] GreedyB, :) ones is for torrents the other is for converting videos [03:14] GreedyB, nevermind i was thinking is a very similar named app [03:14] I need help using the "irqpoll" option please [03:14] GreedyB, transmission is good [03:14] ah whats popular these days in linux? [03:14] ok [03:14] GreedyB: transmission works great here [03:14] GreedyB, if you know how to use utorrent you know how to use transmission [03:15] Hi, I've got malfunctioning mysql server. All programs think that it's socket is located in /tmp/mysql.sock but mysql (always) create socket at /var/run//mysqld/mysqld.sock. What happened? [03:15] GreedyB: rtorrent if you don't mind terminal [03:15] whats the command to install all available updates? [03:15] thinkfast: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade [03:15] apt-get upgrade [03:15] +1 for rTorrent with pyTorrent webCache reader [03:15] nice nice! last time I used Ubuntu I used Azereus.. oo terminal torrent nice :) [03:16] Transmission Is my pick [03:16] GreedyB, look at the rTorrent website for info on dht support [03:16] awesome [03:16] Hello [03:16] thinkfast: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [03:16] hey one more question, how would i go about splitting a tar archive up into accessible parts? [03:16] not just a split [03:16] Is there an Rturrent package for ubuntu? [03:16] hi .. I am extremely close to getting a working dual monitor setup on Ubuntu with the "ati" driver but my one problem is: [03:17] thinkfast, for the first update after install use the update manager as it will remove uneeded stuff before moving on...`sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade` wont [03:17] GreedyB: it's really good. Give it a try. You can have it run on another computer and constantly looking for torrents in a specific folder. You just need to add torrents to that folder [03:17] i seem to get faster speeds with wine+utorrent than anything, no clue what it is about it [03:17] TopBunny88: yes. Apt-get install rtorrent [03:17] Ubuntu is giving the resolution of my bigger monitor (my tv) to my smaller monitor. I'm not sure why it's switching them around but in Resolution Settings it sees "Toshiba" (my tv) as my monitor . Any way I can force it to know the right one? [03:17] oh I only need a client.. as much as I would love to have a dedicated box for that ' [03:18] upper management wouldn't like that :P === freqk is now known as freqk|away === Peng__ is now known as Peng [03:18] GreedyB: rtorrent is nice anyway. I don't have one either but know people who do it that way [03:18] !away > freqk|away [03:18] freqk|away, please see my private message [03:18] GreedyB, transmission. ther eis a default torrent client called : gnome-bittorrent i think [03:19] airtonix: actually,transmission is the default torrent client in 8.04 so it seems. At least that's what came installed [03:19] GreedyB, investigate using screen to maintain a terminal session ... good way to keep terminal apps going without a terminal window [03:19] screen rocks [03:20] its gonna take some time.. I havent used linux in a long time.. still getting back in to the swing of things [03:20] carandraug, i wish transmission would act as a frontend to rTorrent ...that would be sweet [03:20] GreedyB: you can use screen like airtonix said. It's really good for that.Or you can just have rtorrent running in a tty. That's how I do it [03:21] hello [03:21] carandraug, closest i cam e to creating a gui frontend for rTorrent was using pyTorrent via my drupal website in the spare room [03:21] how can i properly shutdown my laptop when there is a system hang [03:21] ? [03:21] CMD_L1N3, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=617349 [03:22] thanks you so much [03:22] Anyone up for a challenge? [03:22] if i did shutdown by holding the power button was there probably any damage? [03:23] i have only done it once [03:23] redvamp128: I already have the challenge! [03:23] airtonix: many people that want rtorrent, want to use it in the terminal. I bet a GUI for rtorrent is not the thing most people is looking for [03:23] Transfer a bunch of files from XP to Ubuntu in under a minute! [03:23] can anyone help me figure out why when i installed ubuntu to a sata disk on my nforce4 motherboard that grub now loads with GRUB GRUB GRUB .... GRUB GRUB? I can't even get it into the boot menu [03:23] Can't get sound IBM Netvista 6578 [03:23] And because no sound can't play video's [03:23] CMD_L1N3: there's better ways to do it. Investigate the Magical SysRq or REISUB [03:23] Totem faults out [03:24] carandraug, yeah all i could do is make it print out the status of each torrent found in the session cache of rTorrent....my oldman wanted to know the status of things...and since i sleep at odd hours he needed away to see without having to wake me up [03:24] <[Solars]> how do i add a user to a specific grp? addgrp user group ? [03:24] CMD_L1N3, i gave you a link to syreq [03:25] help! my system is using all its ram on some unknown process that is not listed on my system monitor [03:25] what is going on? [03:25] kill the process :) [03:25] [Solars]: I believe useradd -G group_name username. But check "man useradd" [03:25] Ishnu I would if it were listed! [03:25] and hope nothing goes wrong [03:25] <[Solars]> carandraug kk thanks for the lead [03:25] I can play video in Dragon Player but no sound.

(lts = long term support) [03:28] lol, cool [03:28] thats quite odd, khin [03:28] khin, have a search for how linux deals with memory... [03:30] airtonix well I thought it would be some OS routine, but wouldn't that still be a process? [03:30] khin, still worth becoming familar in how memory is managed (the differences between windows and linux) [03:31] anyone know how to adjust laptop screen brightness in hardy? [03:31] khin, maybe you will discover some methods for determining exactly what is using what memory === nibsa1242 is now known as nibsa1242b [03:32] airtonix yeah that might be useful. well bye! [03:33] <[Solars]> is there a 65-bit virtualbox compilation for the amd64 computers... [03:33] Fn-Home and Fn-End is the answer to my question btw [03:34] <[Solars]> nevermind [03:34] How would I check if a port is open on a computer? I know that I can use a program like NMap, but I would like to know for a program of my own. [03:34] Ishnu, lsof ? [03:34] Pardon? [03:34] lsof? [03:34] Ishnu, man lsof [03:35] ok, thanks [03:35] Ishnu, this will bring up the manual for the program 'lsof' : man lsof [03:36] I'm not sure if lsof if what I want. [03:36] Elijah, you will also need to open ports 135, 137, 139 for windows networking to succed [03:36] I want to be able to check if a port is open on a different computer. [03:36] Ishnu, its is .... you could also run firestarter which provides a list of open connections [03:37] im considering updating to Intrepid, but i'm worried about it's stability, anyone been testing it? [03:37] Ishnu, ah ok...the nmap is pretty much the standard there [03:37] anyone know how to send an accounting code to a printer? [03:37] Yep. [03:37] And I have NMap, and use it. [03:37] But I want to be able to have a similar function in my own program.

[03:38] Hey guys. Does anybody know about installing and running vice city under wine? I can run the game using the cd, but I dont want to burn out my only copy. On xp, I used the nocd crack, but It keeps asking for the play cd under wine. are theyre any options? [03:38] Yes. [03:38] kongove: a couple of people probably use it. It's usually better to just ask your question [03:39] glades20 [03:39] You probably want the winehq IRC [03:39] Ishnu, list of things here ...scroll past the obivious : http://www.itsecurity.com/features/ubuntu-secure-install-resource/ [03:39] Ishnu, here too : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-security-tools-available-in-ubuntu.html [03:39] hi [03:39] IRC.freenode.net [03:39] #winehq [03:39] Ishnu：how long have you using Python?

[03:55] anyone have any ideas? the last log message is from yesterday when i closed my laptop lid. it suspends, and then this morning i opened it and it hung [03:55] Indoctrine, the other option is to use virtualbox to make use of your printer. [03:55] now whenever i boot i can't start x and no logs are created because the root is mounted read-only [03:55] Clutz: yes [03:55] jrib: mine is AGP 8X [03:56] hell_lord, did you try to suspend your laptop again? [03:56] jrib: i have seen articles on the 256 working easily but nothing on the 512 [03:56] cedriczg: i thought of it but i can't figure out how - it looks like it only works through gnome :-( [03:56] StooJ, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive [03:56] cedriczg: i couldn't find any relevant command or script in init.d [03:56] hell_lord, do you use dual boot? [03:56] airtonix: I downloaded and installed the drivers that would supposedly get my printer to work... I also don't have the disk space to VirtualBox. [03:57] Indoctrine, is it a usb printer? [03:57] cedriczg: nope. i would have mounted my root from the livecd and made changes but my root is encrypted in an logical volume :( [03:57] Clutz: I'd remove all the crap envy and the manual install did and then try to troubleshoot [03:57] Thanks airtonix [03:57] Clutz: ooo, somehow, it's trying to use the vesa driver instead of nvidia - can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [03:57] airtonix: Yes. [03:57] Gnea, ok [03:57] I have read that you can telnet an IP adress with a certain port, to determine if that port is open on the target system. But wouldn't this method just work if the target IP adress was using that port for telnet, and not anything else? [03:57] Indoctrine, can you provide a product page please? [03:57] hell_lord, so what ha[[ened just when you booted after the suspend? [03:58] Hi all, I jus twanted to let you know that hte GRUB GRUB GRUB error is grub not finding the stage1 loader [03:58] airtonix: Details on the printer or the website I got drivers from? [03:58] cedriczg: normal boot except gdm fails, complaining about X server not running [03:58] Gnea: the backed up one before i restored right? [03:58] Clutz: and btw, AGP != PCI-E [03:58] Indoctrine, for the printer so i can see specs === oc is now known as Yudha_HT [03:58] cedriczg: root is mounted read-only (i thought because of that, but maybe something before that happens) [03:58] Clutz: no, just the current one please [03:59] hell_lord, did you check already in forums? [03:59] Gnea: line 1819 has it looking for nvidia and failing in Clutz's paste by the way [03:59] Gnea: I had to restore the default xorg so i could boot [03:59] How can I flash my bios. OS: hardy 32, Notebook: compaq v6112au [03:59] cedriczg: yeah, this happened to me before actually but it was just a config issue with xorg.conf [03:59] Has anybody got ubuntu installed on a asus m3a79 motherboard?

[04:00] cedriczg: i think it's an issue with the Xauthority file being there still [04:00] Clutz: go for it [04:00] I have read that you can telnet an IP adress with a certain port, to determine if that port is open on the target system. But wouldn't this method just work if the target IP adress was using that port for telnet, and not anything else? Does anyone know what method of scanning ports NMap uses? [04:00] Gnea: brb then [04:00] jrib: yeah i saw that too - looks like there could be some conflicting drivers installed [04:00] Gnea: meh maybe you are right about it trying to load vesa though [04:00] hi again! [04:00] Indoctrine, keep this aside for reference later on : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems [04:00] cedriczg: but that doesn't explain why the root gets mounted read-only. this is the big problem. i removed the read-only on error part from fstab and i am also editing the grub boot line and removing "ro", so i don't see why it's still mounting read-only [04:01] Indoctrine, have you read this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=556980 [04:01] cedriczg: and in addition mtab is read-only so whenever i try to remount it tells me it's mounted already. [04:01] jrib: yeah, vesa has historically given unpleasant results with nvidia equipment, particularly when a framebuffer is involved [04:01] airtonix: I have, it didn't work [04:01] cedriczg: i tried to force it.... and it says it's mounted rw, but it still isn't :- [04:01] I managed to install RutilT (the GUI for my wireless adapter) but when I load it instead of characters I only see squares :S [04:01] Indoctrine, or this : http://geekozoid.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-use-canon-mp210-on-ubuntu-804.html [04:01] airtonix: Also, I've gotten the Canon drivers [04:01] did you use command line with chmod -R ?

[04:02] airtonix: Read something exactly the same as that, followed its instruction, still nothing [04:02] cedriczg: no, mainly because i was worried about screwing up permissions system-wide [04:02] Gnea: I have the black screen symptom on my laptop, workaround in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia fixes it [04:02] Indoctrine, its pretty much hit and miss until you finf exactly right settings...all i can say is good luck with your hunting [04:03] Indoctrine, usually its down to the drivers [04:03] hell_lord, I understand [04:03] hello can some one give the right command ( ems | tail " ? [04:03] Gnea: wiki claims it only affects Go cards though [04:03] i just don't understand why i can't remount the root rw [04:03] smelian: the right command for what? [04:03] i'm doing sudo mount -f -o remount,rw / and it seems to work [04:04] anyone got an idea how long it will take to md5sum a 170 gig file? [04:04] swap is off, /boot is umounted.... [04:04] mohadib: a long time :) no idea [04:04] how about better ways to check file intergrity after a copy? [04:04] any ideas :) [04:04] jrib : emsg | tail ( i want check usbs plugins in my laptop ) i did the command before but i forgot it [04:04] airtonix: There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-possible'. <-- :/ [04:04] smelian: dmesg, not emsg [04:05] thats it :D [04:05] hell_lord, I have a question that should be easy to reply but I couldn't find the solution... How to choose VLC as default program to open DVD when I insert a DVD. I don't see a way to choose new programs in the file administrator... [04:05] Indoctrine, yeah currently i am beset with a lexmark 1170...printer scanner...so i understand the frustration. lexmark just seem to think the sun shines out of bills rear [04:05] airtonix: I also went through the CUPS address and it still didn't do anything. [04:05] jrib: heh, i always take such claims with a grain of salt :) [04:05] wow it worked [04:05] i acctually changed from debian to ubuntu without a cd/dvd or usb stick [04:06] airtonix: Yeah. -.- The stupid thing is that the drivers FOR Linux don't WORK. [04:06] is there any way to by pass the password in xbunto installation i forgot the password [04:06] <[Solars]> jrib just as i thought the one in ubuntu is old and is not 64-bit supportive [04:06] <[Solars]> installing vista 64 now w/o a problem [04:06] airtonix: I also don't want to go back to Windows. -.- [04:06] Indoctrine, in future, i would refer to the page on the ubuntu wiki that describes best supported printers via cups [04:06] jrib : how can i find my usb modem inside dmesg | tail and i dont see it when i use lsusb [04:06] cedriczg: the easiest way is probably to right click the file and go to properties [04:06] Indoctrine, you dont have much choice though [04:06] airtonix: I did look in there, but it wasn't actually listed [04:06] Tim__: reboot and choose recovery mode from the grub menu. Then choose to boot into a "root shell". Lastly, issue the command 'passwd YOUR_USERNAME_HERE' and reboot [04:07] airtonix: I might take my dad's printer, it's older and probably better supported. [04:07] cedriczg: i think you can do it there. but if not you can also probably find a way to do it using gconf-editor [04:07] hell_lord, well... it's not a file, it's a new device [04:07] smelian: I don't know. [04:07] I managed to install RutilT (the GUI for my wireless adapter) but when I load it instead of characters I only see squares :S [04:07] Indoctrine, network printers are well supported...strangely lexmark ones work ok. [04:07] cedriczg: ah, i see. [04:07] hell_lord, gconf-editor might be the way [04:07] cedriczg: that would have something to do with hal and/or dbus [04:07] airtonix: I don't want network printers... I want it to work locally. [04:07] smelian: what kind of modem is it? [04:07] any one know where is the probem i find my usb modem inside dmesg | tail and i dont see it when i use lsusb [04:08] bandluxe [04:08] hell_lord, which is the permission on root files for you 400 ? [04:08] Indoctrine, its not much difference how it connects...usb or ethernet on your switch [04:08] cedriczg: strangely it's rwx for root [04:08] airtonix: But it's connected to my computer, not a switch. [04:08] when i put it in desktop its run like storage but when i put it in laptop nothing happen [04:09] Indoctrine, just a suggestion, when you have a printer that can connect via ethernet....you dont have to have your computer running for them to be able to use it....means less cables also [04:09] hell_lord, which files you mean? [04:09] cedriczg: all permissions look normal [04:09] any one got any info on linkskys routers not working on ubuntu just tried hooking mine up and it didnt do **** [04:09] airtonix: My entire house runs off wireless. [04:09] Indoctrine, surely your wireless router has ethernet ports? [04:10] airtonix: Of course, but there is no room out where my router is to put my huge priner [04:10] hell_lord, I don't get you. Which folders are you talking about? [04:10] *printer [04:10] cedriczg: cedriczg for example /etc [04:10] yeah but didnt do any thing said there was a connection but no it didnt work [04:10] cedriczg: rwxr--r-- [04:10] hell_lord, ok then it's 744 [04:11] hat.org [04:11] Indoctrine, well if i had the same printer as you i might be able to help further...not much i can do with out one [04:11] cedriczg: i can't ever remember the bits :) [04:11] hell_lord, you mean for all files under .etc they are 744 ? [04:11] i couldnt find any thing to on what it could be i know routers work just this one is being a ***** at the moment [04:11] airtonix: I'm off to find out what model my dad's Canon printer is.

[04:14] airtonix: I've seen it and it doesn't have drivers for mine [04:15] <[Solars]> how do i add another desktop to GDE that ubuntu uses? [04:15] jrib: no, it was after i restored the xorg and booted [04:15] <[Solars]> i.e. i want more then 2 spaces [04:15] Indoctrine, there may be a generic driver like in my situation there is a specific driver for lexmark 1170 i ahve to use a driver called z600 [04:15] airtonix: How the hell am I meant to know which one to get then? [04:15] Indoctrine, isnt a specific driver for mine i mean [04:15] the root is encrypted lvm with jfs :P [04:16] maybe it has something to do with that :( [04:16] how do i setup dsl connection in xbunto [04:16] Indoctrine, lots of research and patience .... or you can re-install windows or think about petitioning cannon for better linux support.

Nor am I putting XP on here where I get even worse driver support. [04:17] i got rid of vista [04:17] as did i ^_^ [04:17] how do i setup dsl on xbunto [04:17] Tim__: nice [04:17] I've had so many problems with this laptop. [04:17] my laptop and my other computer got ubuntu installed with no trouble at all [04:17] Tim__, how did you connect your adsl modem to your machine? [04:17] but this video card is being mean to me [04:17] shit I just opened up emacs in my terminal [04:17] It's just not very Linux friendly [04:17] how do I exit?? [04:17] i never had problems with ubuntu [04:17] I am trying to get a DHCP server running on my desktop computer, to provide internet to my laptop/xbox/whatever. I've defined a subnet and a lease range. I've also got a host configured on the ethernet port through which the server should listen. However, I can't get an IP with any devices I plug in... Does anyone have any suggestions? [04:17] oxeimon: Ctrl-C? [04:17] airtonix through network card and cable to dsl router as in vista [04:18] hell_lord, try this command and look at itś output: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [04:18] nope [04:18] doesn't work [04:18] oxeimon: ctrl-x ctrl-c [04:18] Indoctrine: what laptop [04:18] Tim__, ok do you know the ip address of the adsl router? [04:18] oxeimon: Esc? [04:18] hell_lord: Acer Aspire 4710 [04:18] Tim__, and how are you communicating here now? obviously ont on the machine you want to deal with in question [04:18] i just created a new group and added myself to it, but when i type 'groups' i don't see the group... is there some service i need to restart or something? [04:18] hell_lord, not sure if this gets anywhere but just to check [04:18] ctrl-x ctrl-c worked [04:18] airtonix: in windows...i key in my username@bell.net and then password [04:18] damn emacs [04:19] i would think ip address in dynamic [04:19] Tim__, i have never used vista so references to "in windows" or "just like in vista" doesnt mean anything to me [04:19] it is not static [04:19] it is always changing the ip address:airtonic [04:19] I have read that you can telnet an IP adress with a certain port, to determine if that port is open on the target system. But wouldn't this method just work if the target IP adress was using that port for telnet, and not anything else? [04:19] Indoctrine: oh dear god [04:19] Tim__, it wouldnt internally..that would be the external behaviour [04:20] anyone here know how to recreate CrossOvers menus? crossover channel is dead. [04:20] hell_lord: That bad, eh? [04:20] Tim__, usually the internal address of your adsl router/modem is either : 10.1.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 [04:20] airtonic ok [04:20] Tim__, try visiting those ip addresses in firefox on the ubuntu machine [04:21] it is only one machine [04:21] hell_lord, might this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=868984 [04:21] it is not networked [04:21] Indoctrine: im having some real problems with a thinkpad. i don't even wanna know what it'd be like on that thing [04:21] Tim__, ? [04:21] cedriczg: lol i'm looking at that thread right now [04:21] Tim__, if your modem is not networked then how do you connect to it? [04:21] the xubunto system---network card----dsl rounter----telephone cable. [04:21] Just a quick question: when you ping, say, 192.168.0.5, how would it decide whether to ping the internal address 192.168.0.5, or the internet one? [04:22] hello channel for ubuntu beta pls [04:22] hell_lord, then we may be in a good track ;) [04:22] hell_lord: Ohh yeah.

[04:32] HyperD: Errr, the disk usage thing, I mean [04:32] hell_lord, mmm. But the game can start in a window... [04:32] weirdness. [04:33] cedriczg: yes it can [04:33] cedriczg: it's an X server - for what the game knows, it is starting full screen :) [04:33] hell_lord, I mean now it can.

Then that may be a point to check [04:34] cedriczg: you could try it in an Xnest with a different xorg.conf with composite extensions disabled, or you coudl turn off compiz [04:34] hi [04:34] cedriczg: see i used to have a separate xorg.conf for starcraft and i'd use it with an Xnest :) [04:35] hell_lord, Thanks.

[05:39] anotherman: fine then, type sudo su [05:39] zomg downloading 100 gigs of torrents at once is annoying cause whenever you close Transmission either manually or from restarting your PC it has to reverify the data, which grings my Quadcore with 4 gigs of RAM to a halt [05:39] su = superuser [05:39] Clutz: no, sudo -i === jono_ is now known as jono [05:39] what are sudo -i and sudo su [05:39] tritium: huh?

I created an .iso from a movie I wanted to copy. Unfortunately, the resulting .iso was 7.3 GB in size. I can't burn 7.3 GB of data onto a 4.7 GB DVD+R. Even when I tried just backing up the DVD using dvdbackup, the resulting folder (VIDEO_TS) was 7.3 GB. What can I do to successfully copy my movie to another DVD+R? [05:43] the device was installed during installation and the fix for stopping loss of wireless signal after three minutes of inactivity depends on knowing this [05:44] anotherman if you need root regularly then perhaps Ubuntu is not the distro for you [05:44] MrNaz`, why not lol [05:44] gluonman: You're going to be told you're off topic but best you can do is DVDShrink and Wine [05:44] ello [05:44] i know my device is a rtl8187 but issuing commands for it doesn't work either [05:44] gluonman, looks like all you need is a double layer dvd [05:45] Joshooa, I don't know why I'm off topic. Maybe I should specify that I'm doing this in Ubuntu and ask what's the Ubuntu way to solve my problem. [05:45] anotherman Ubuntu deliberately makes it hard to log in as root because logging in as root regularly is a bad idea both for beginners and advanced linux admins. theres no reason you should need it, so ubuntu blocks it. if you have decided you will log in as root no matter what, then ubuntu will fight you every day until you eventually break it [05:45] gluonman: I don't know why either, but last night some guy got reemed for about 20 minutes for asking that same question [05:45] Could someone with the UNIX source please pastebin Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt? [05:45] anotherman if you dont know logging in as root is a bad idea, then thats even more reason for you not to log in as root [05:45] MrNaz`, I will break ubuntu then [05:45] MrNaz`: the root account can be enabled easily. It's just a bad idea. [05:46] Joshooa, that's strange. Is DVDShrink free? [05:46] Hey [05:46] anotherman: read the URL I had ubottu send you about sudo [05:46] When Pidgen updated their client, did we automatically get it? [05:46] gluonman: I guess it's "illegal" or something. But yeah, dd can make isos, but not re-encode, you need something to do that, there are some linux alternatives, but so far what I've seen most people use DVDShrink. I think probably just like a trial or freeware version [05:46] anotherman hey... its you time, feel free to waste it as you please [05:46] Pnux, I was hoping for a method that would work without having to go to the store and get a double-layered DVD. [05:46] anotherman: see the directions in the PM/IM [05:47] <[Solars]> does ubuntu support lightscribe? [05:47] Styles: No, but Pidgin isn't horrible to compile from source, actually. Although at this point, I'd wait for Ibex. [05:47] Joshooa, I'll look into DVDShrink. It runs with wine? [05:47] <[Solars]> !lightscribe [05:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about lightscribe [05:47] <[Solars]> !light scribe [05:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about light scribe [05:47] Could someone with the UNIX source please pastebin Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt?

Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. === chubs is now known as Chris_Hansen [05:47] Joshooa, and what I'm doing is not illegal, given that I purchased the original and have no intention of burning the copy for distribution. [05:49] Ishnu: which UNIX?? [05:49] i really dont mind [05:49] newer is better [05:49] Ishnu: linux is OK? [05:49] but it doesnt have to be the newest [05:49] i think so [05:49] im not 100% sure its what im after [05:49] bobertdos, whats ibex? [05:49] but i think it is [05:49] im capped so i cant dl the source [05:49] Ishnu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === Chris_Hansen is now known as chubs [05:49] <[Solars]> heh [05:50] Styles: The next release, due in a month. [05:50] Ishnu: www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt [05:50] nobody knows how i'm supposed to modprobe my wlan0 device when i can't figure out the name of it? [05:50] bobertdos, ahh thanks lol [05:50] Thanks! [05:50] I can always count on #ubuntu to be lively at 1am [05:50] hi. i've got a major question about installing ubuntu [05:50] mib_cp3dyn, congratulations? [05:51] bobertdos, I don't understand, I would think Gnome would handle updates for programs and Ubuntu would just focous on the OS. [05:51] Since Gnome is the gui layer [05:51] Ishnu: you know about usbmon and don't know about google? [05:51] gluonman: Yes it should work fine, unless you have a bug or some error but I've read good reviews for it's reliability with Wine, sometimes it did freeze for people during encoding, but overall good. And yes, I believe you are legal and in your rights, but honestly, even if you weren't, I don't care, and I'd still help you cause the technology is cool and knowledge is power! :) [05:52] well [05:52] i tried finding it [05:52] but i had little success - i am new to linux [05:52] Joshooa, amen. [05:52] Styles: Gnome really has nothing to do with the programs within it; it's just an environment. It is Connical and the Ubuntu project responsible for updates. Since Ubuntu is not a rolling distro, it really doesn't do any updates besides security and bug fixes. [05:52] okay, so in the installation, what partition option do i select? here's my setup. i have 1 hard drive, with 2 small backup-like partitions (shipped with machine) 1 big vista partition and about 50gb of unallocated space for ubuntu. which option in the installer do i pick for it to take the unallocated space and place ubuntu there, without harming my other stuff [05:53] p.s. i'm an ubuntu first-timer [05:53] bobertdos, ahh [05:53] mib_cp3dyn, well, the guided install should offer to use "free" or "unallocated" space [05:54] Question, what irc client are people using? Right now I'm using Pigin with the irc plugin. [05:54] so "Guided-use the largest continous free space" is the one to pick? will it affect any of my other partitions? [05:54] xchat here [05:54] mib_cp3dyn, no [05:54] !install [05:54] Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation.

This is the first time I set up IRC on my linux desktop [05:55] what is this error possibly? [05:55] Pidgin that is :; === Guest67187 is now known as jacob` [05:55] * Clutz is using pidgin for irc lol [05:56] Hmm.. it seems i've accidentaly made the right choice :) [05:56] Joshooa, officialdvdshrink.com is charging to download DVDShrink. I thought it was freeware? [05:56] as much as i like xchat goto any webby forthem and you feel like you jumped in the internet time machine back 20 years [05:57] Guest67187 [05:58] Are the songs on the same partition?

In DOS it was move *.*, but I need to command for linux. :) [06:06] roe_ thank you for your help! got ubuntu up and running in dual boot with vista successfully. can't wait to play around with it [06:07] lloyd, "move" is "mv" in linux.

[06:13] Roath: grub [06:13] what's that? [06:13] !grub | Roath [06:13] Roath: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [06:13] <- linux newb [06:13] Roath, Grub will overwrite the windows boot loader and give you a menu.. when partitioning make 3 partitions.. root "/" = 6-12 gigs.... /swap = 1gig max.... and the rest /home [06:13] and it automatically gets installed with Ubuntu [06:14] uuuh, nice [06:14] that solves that problem :D [06:14] Roath - installing Ubuntu is very simple - what seems complicated now requires next to no effort from you [06:14] Roath, do you have more than one partition on the drive now? [06:14] tritium and lamprey: do u normally edit it or isnt added automatically once it is connected to isp [06:15] Tim__: I never touch it [06:15] yeah, i installed it on my notebook, its just that i wish to keep vista on my desktop [06:15] tritium how did u setup ur dsl connection [06:15] love ubuntu but sadly still a linux noob [06:15] Tim__: normally, if you receive your IP address via dhcp, you don't need to set it up. [06:15] hey, i need the kernel to recognize my ICH10 intel sata controller cards hard drives partitions but it does not, I know this means I need a newer kernel, but does one exist in ubuntu's repos? [06:15] Roath, time cures all ignorance :) [06:15] i did receive the ip address [06:15] Roath: So you're, what? running wubi right now? [06:15] I don't either.. dhcp daemon will add your dns server [06:16] if mozilla is not working [06:16] Tim__: plug dsl modem into phone line [06:16] Does the Ubuntu installer automatically make a swap when you choose the default partition option? [06:16] wubi? i just installed ubuntu on my notebook, no idea what wubi is [06:16] i am logged into my isp [06:16] Ishnu, yes [06:16] ah k cool [06:16] does having a swap make much difference? [06:16] i am longged in to the isp and provided local and remote ip address [06:17] Roath: oh, I misread your post, sorry. But we still need to know -- do you have more than one partition right now on your desktop? [06:17] Ishnu, depending on your system and ram it may never be used.. but when you need it .. you need it... 1 gig should be plenty. [06:17] Ok cool [06:17] yeah, i have a 50gb partition i made for the purpose of installing ubuntu [06:17] hmm [06:17] Roath: unformatted as of yet, correct? [06:17] Roath, split that so you have 3.. make root 8 gigs [06:18] You dont want a partition, am I right? I thought Ubuntu just likes using free space? [06:18] well, i made the partition in vista, so i guess thats true [06:18] izinucs: he can just let the installer automatically partition it [06:18] Ishnu: You can do it either way. [06:18] why 8 gigs? [06:18] tritium, yes.. but if he needs to reinstall later (like most all noobs.. even me) it's helpful to save all your date in a seperate /home [06:19] How do I connect to a new server with xchat ubuntu ? [06:19] izinucs: k.i.s.s. [06:19] hey, I'm getting a E: /var/cache/apt/archives/util-linux_2.13.1-5ubuntu3_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 [06:19] . I haven't updated in quite awhile. Any suggestions on how to fix it? [06:19] Roath: The amount is a little arbitrary. The point is that most people don't need incredibly much space for the root filesystem. [06:19] Roath, you could probably get away with less. but as you experiment you'll find that some things you install get put in / (root) and not your data partition (/home) [06:20] (That is when I'm trying to use update manager to update) [06:20] how could i check if ubunto has setup my network card to ip dhcp protocol [06:21] cmon, surely someone in here knows about the kernel? your a massive branch of linux. . . this is the 4th day of me checking into irc trying to find someone [06:21] Tim__: have you configured it at all? If not, network-manager should be handling it for dhcp. [06:21] tritium, yea.. I agree mostly.. so you wait until they've been running the system for a while and bork something that they can't back out of and end up reformatting and reinstalling.. loosing all data [06:21] Tim__: ifconfig [06:21] izinucs: if something breaks, then backup data and reinstall [06:21] mike-solidus, what about the kernel? [06:21] Uh oh, did we scare him away? haha [06:21] tritium i havent...i am wondering why it said remote ip address and local address [06:21] Tim__: what's "it"? [06:22] tritium, just trying to avoid that step [06:22] ltracy - you need to update your repositories... go to system->administration->software sources.. when you close it it will update.. either that or go to a terminal window and run sudo apt-get update [06:22] izinucs: it may not happen [06:22] tritium :let me check [06:23] mike-solidus, the newer kernel is part of the next release.. you could install it now if you like.. not the kernel alone but the entire distro.. but first ask in #ubuntu+1 and see if anyone know if it addresses your issue.. [06:23] Itracy_: I have a problem with its support of my intel ICH10 sata controller card, I got ubuntu to install by changing the mode to ahci but i can't leave it as that because windows no longer recognizes it when it is in ahci mode. I've poked around a little and found that ICH10 support has recently been added into the kernel and is availabe in intel_ata.ko and uhci. But i cant find an answer past that [06:23] hello [06:24] how to install qt in ubuntu 7.10 [06:24] izinucs: sweet, i'll go check, didn't know about ubuntu+1 [06:24] tritium, may not, might not, probably won't .... then Murphy shows up and changes everything. [06:24] while :;do :;done [06:24] woops wrong channel [06:26] any idea? [06:27] I'm still getting the "Subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1" after running apt-get update and re-checking for updates [06:27] hello all [06:28] hello all [06:28] Allan_Rhae: How may we help you? [06:28] he left [06:29] I see that :p [06:29] how can i get a service to launch automatically at bootup? [06:30] thorny_sun¬ system > admin > services [06:30] thorny_sun: what kind of service? [06:30] i've gotta do this on a server -- it's a fastcgi service [06:30] yeah what nnull said then [06:30] but it's on a server-- so i don't have a gui [06:31] thorny_sun: update-rc.d [06:31] where is that? [06:32] tritium: ? [06:32] thorny_sun, /etc/rc.local? [06:32] thorny_sun: /usr/sbin/update-rc.d [06:32] thorny_sun: you asked me where it is, so I told you. [06:34] oh it's a binary [06:34] just setting up a dsl connection seems to be a rocket science in ubunto [06:34] lol Tim__ how so [06:34] you mosut have a modem huh [06:35] must* [06:35] Tim__, do you have a router hooked up? [06:35] Tim__: no [06:35] everything is hookedup [06:35] Tim__, do you have a router? [06:35] i even logged into my isp server [06:35] "logged in"? [06:35] Tim__, no .. I mean IS there a router between your computer and the connection to the isp? [06:35] it picked up the dns server too [06:35] just a simple setup [06:36] Tim__, does the simple setup include a router? [06:36] computer-adsl router-phone line [06:36] 为什么是英文阿？ [06:36] !zh | user__ [06:36] user__: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:36] Tim__, set the router up to make the connection to the dsl connection.. the capability is built in [06:36] ubuntu-cn [06:37] user__: /j #ubuntu-cn [06:37] how do i know if my network card in ubunto is configured for dynamic ip address [06:37] Tim__, the computer OS typically determins that. [06:37] where can i find information on the steps/procedures on how to install VMware Server onto Ubuntu Desktop AMD64 ? [06:38] Where do we paste to? [06:38] !vmware | nomingzi [06:38] nomingzi: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [06:38] !vmware | nomingzi [06:38] magnetron: touche [06:38] ltracy_, read topic [06:38] nomingzi, you download the tar file from vmware and compile it.. instructions on vmware's site. [06:38] 谢谢！ [06:38] Simple question, how do i create a shortcut to my documents folder on the desktop? [06:39] Has anyone ever delt with the [errno 5] Input/output install error while installing ubuntu 8.04? [06:41] anyone? just trying to make a shortcut... [06:41] CaptainMurphy: Yes I just had that the other night actually, had to get a new CD in the end but installed and using it now [06:41] This is what I'm getting from update manager when I try to do an update: http://paste.ubuntu.com/52360/ . On advice from here, I closed update manager, ran apt-get update, and then did a check for new updates (in update manager) and I still get the same error. [06:41] wait all you did was get a new CD? [06:42] ekow - right click on the folder and select "make link", then move the link to your desktop [06:42] ekow: Just right click on desktop, create launcher, change type to location, and create it all with the info [06:42] ekow: Or what he said [06:42] <[Solars]> anyone know where the guest module is for virtualbox located? I checked the /opt/ directory and its empty [06:42] CaptainMorgan, you might also need to use the "alternate" cd for machines with limited resources or smaller amounts of ram [06:43] jashoo1, what exactly did you do? I've been pulling my hair out over this for the last few days [06:43] CaptainMurphy: Yes it wasn't able to copy from the CD I had, even though it was an official one from my Ubuntu book, used an older burnt CD I had, and here I am. [06:43] izinucs, I might? [06:43] how old? [06:43] Lamprey thanks [06:43] CaptainMorgan, depends on your machine.. if it's older or doesn't meet the minimum ram amount for the live cd. [06:44] izinucs, no [06:44] ekow: if you're trying to do if from the terminal window use the command sudo ln -s ~/Desktop/ [06:44] CaptainMurphy: I used a 7.10 CD cause I didn't have any other 8.04 CD [06:44] by any chance, would someone know of a good way to compile an uncompressed disk image into an .iso for the sake of making something that could have a valid boot flag? [06:44] ekow np :) [06:44] how can I reinstall the same version of a package? [06:44] izinucs, think for a second. [06:44] will someone take a look at my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/52324/ and/or my Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/52325/ and help me figure out why I get a black screen and my computer locks up after the ubuntu loading bar finishes? [06:44] hey all 1247 people [06:45] okay. I've tried 804 and 804 alternate and I've tried makeing a usb version using unetbootin but none of that has worked [06:45] Pulpie, one of them is you and another is a bot o.o [06:45] hey Pulpie === user__ is now known as xiaobin0942 [06:45] how do i run a menu item as root ? assume i dont know the name of the programs binary. is there an easy way to 'right click->run as root' ? [06:45] pulpie, pulpie [06:45] MrPickl1: for cdrom boot? [06:45] hi guys [06:45] Clutz: who is a bot? [06:45] CaptainMurphy: Do they all give you the same error? [06:45] I'm burning a copy of 7.04 now. [06:45] koala_man, yes. [06:45] Pulpie: FloodBot2 ? [06:45] Clutz: thats not mine... [06:45] Pulpie: nono i know that [06:45] Its possible to update to hardy herion after I install fiesty, right? [06:45] CaptainMurphy: I'd do at least 7.10, if possible === user__ is now known as xiaobin0942 [06:45] CaptainMurphy: Yes [06:45] anyone got spore working? [06:46] Pulpie: just pointing out that you said hi to yourself and a bot [06:46] CaptainMorgan, you have to go to Gutsy first then Hardy [06:46] does anyone know if it is possible to configure samba through a web interface? [06:46] Pulpie: sorry for my bad attempt at humor [06:46] CaptainMurphy: That's where I am now actually, I had to eat dinner while finishing the upgrade, forgot to plug in laptop, and now it keeps wanting to do a partial upgrade over and over [06:46] slaterock, it will install with wine, but I cant get the program to contact the network [06:46] hmm [06:46] ah [06:46] :-( [06:46] mine works, cept i can't see my character [06:46] tax advertising by 100% and the federal government easily recovers the 700 billion in less than 4 months. [06:46] Clutz: oh well more then 1200 of them are bots [06:46] like FloodBot1 [06:47] Pulpie: really? [06:47] !ot | Keal [06:47] Keal: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:47] Clutz: more then likly [06:47] wow [06:47] I don't get whats wrong with hardy, it really died hard on me. Dpkg got damaged somehow during a normal update. Now I can't install becuase of some huge bug they haven't fixed in the hardy installer? [06:47] MrPickl1: makeisoimage -hard-disk-boot -b diskimage /somewhere > lul.iso I think should do it [06:47] Clutz: /names then /lastlog bot [06:47] hmm, did anybody look at my paste? [06:47] ltracy_: repaste it [06:47] slaterock, im sure its being worked on, but i havent had much success - btw type screenames at the beginning of msg to ensure the reciepient can see it [06:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/52360/ [06:48] CaptainMurphy: Tried stuff like dpkg --configure -a? [06:48] MrPickLl alright [06:48] koala_man, that sounds like an awesome way to do that- would makeisoimage be in the repositories if i dont already have it? [06:48] so who knows where i can find a guide to get EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GT 512MB AGP 8X graphics card to work on ubuntu 8.04 all traditional methods have failed thus far [06:48] Jashoo1 yes, it messed things up hardcore [06:48] ltracy_: what are you doing? [06:49] Pulpie, just trying to do updates [06:49] MrPickl1: yes, under genisoimage. it's what used to be called mkisofs [06:49] ltracy_: how so, apt-get update? [06:49] hi guys... does anyone know of an easy to use video editing software? [06:49] Clutz, you should be able to google that one.. I know there are a couple of guides in the ubuntu forums [06:49] Pulpie, update manager [06:49] MrPickl1: uhm and I meant genisoimage the first time too [06:49] Clutz, usually that works right out of the box.. then you enable the restricted driver and all is peachy.. what happened with yours? [06:50] ltracy_: dont know what that is really, i dont use ubuntu i use debian [06:50] sweet, ill give that a try. Many thanks from the wondern00b [06:50] Pulpie, same thing [06:50] This was a murphy's law kind of situation. I got a virus on my windows partition that basically knocked out that part of the system, then my ubuntu partition died when I tried to run dpkg config. Now I have a really really big paperweight where I used to have a computer [06:50] ltracy_: actually its very different [06:50] izinucs: the PCI-E one works out of box, i have the AGP one [06:50] izinucs, please stop. Thank you. [06:50] Clutz, still.. [06:50] do you have a lot of paper to go with it? [06:50] Pulpie, no, not debian and ubuntu, update manager uses aptitude to do updates I'm pretty sure [06:50] CaptainMorgan, what?.. not talking to you. [06:50] izinucs: after 3 different methods of getting drivers, my screen goes black and my pc locks up after the ubuntu loading screen [06:51] ltracy_: it does but i dont know what command it runs [06:51] izinucs: woudl you like to see the xorg.conf and/or the Xorg.0.log? [06:51] Clutz [06:51] Clutz.. sure. [06:51] Pulpie, well, I get the same message now if I try to do apt-get install bzr (which is really what I want right now), as it tries to update the package util-linux [06:51] how come not a single linux distro has taken advantage of a method to feed suggestions of the people directly to congress? [06:51] hi guys... does anyone know of an easy to use video editing software? [06:51] avidimux [06:51] izinucs, right, you aren't - so stop please. Thank you. [06:51] ltracy_: have you tried to install from source? [06:52] izinucs: xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/52324/ Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/52325/ [06:52] Pulpie, util-linux or bzr [06:52] ? [06:52] macvr - google for linux video editing [06:52] Pulpie, I suppose I could do that for bzr, but if I'm gonna lose all use of packages from now on I might as well go back to gentoo or slackware :) [06:52] So, Ubuntu keeps telling me it wants to do a partial upgrade and then when I try it tells me it can't do an upgrade from 'hardy' to 'gutsy' which is good, but why does it want me to keep trying to do it then and how do I not do it anymore? [06:52] there are a few editors out there [06:52] Keal, ? [06:52] does anyone know where mplayer w32 codecs are located in ubuntu 7.10. I used synaptic to install mplayer. [06:52] ltracy_: lol [06:52] does anybody know if there are any alternatives to rdesktop [06:53] !medibuntu | jark [06:53] jark: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:53] lamprey>i could have googled but from the repos? [06:53] hey guys [06:53] hey there [06:53] ltracy_: try apt-get update upgrade dist-upgrade [06:53] izinucs: The new version of VMware Server 2.0 has released, should I download and compile it, instead of following the old steps in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server/AMD64 [06:54] Pulpie you know where I get the ubuntu .deb files? [06:54] Jashoo1 is it really better to do it from 7.10 rather than 7.04? [06:54] i have a question to ask but i don't want to be rude if you guys don't like help me please things... i can't check the site won't load on my iMac too old of a browser [06:54] Pulpie like where can I get ubuntu-2.13.1-5ubuntu2.deb? [06:54] nomingzi, I like the new 2.o.. works good for me.. even though mine is 32 bit. [06:54] becuase I already ahve the 7.04 iso on the machine? [06:54] macvr: oh.. hehe sorry.. I'm not sure.. let me check what's available [06:54] ltracy_: yeah google search for them [06:54] any thoughts izinucs? [06:54] ltracy_: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages [06:54] !ask | Crazz [06:54] Crazz: 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. :-) [06:55] izinucs: do i need to download the Tar, and compile it ? i m not good in compiling [06:55] Lamprey > i have tried pitivi but it just seems to freeze up on my!!! [06:55] system [06:55] I'm trying to get a Dell 720 printer working and I need to find the location of the ppds, the forum post i am looking at directs me to /usr/share/cups/models, however, that folder no longer exists in hardy heron, where do I go to find the PPDs? I'm looking for the Lexmark Z600 (Dell 720). [06:55] Crazz: What are you using for a browser? What kind of an iMac do you have? [06:55] 9% done downloading 7.10 [06:55] CaptainMurphy: I would only say so cause it's new and will have less updates and upgrades than an older version, and it can leave other stuff on your system that wouldn't be used in a newer version. Whichever one works for you though. [06:55] Clutz, xorg.conf looks like you've been manually building it. looks ok.. logs I don't read so well. xorg.conf typically doesn't have everything you have in yours.. pretty blank actually. So what 3 methods did you try to get the card working? [06:56] The thing I'm worried about is how far the bug goes back [06:56] macvr: avidemux and kino are both in the repo's.. do a search in synaptic for video editor and it should pull them up [06:56] 1999 iMac G3 333mhz proc 32mb ram 6mb vid 6gb hdd Mac OS 8.6 IE 4.5 [06:56] there a a couple of others, but those two are popular [06:56] izinucs: all except the resolutions were automatically generated by nvidia setup [06:56] izinucs: it didn't work before i added the resolutions either, was hoping it would help [06:57] nomingzi, tar yes.. compiling it is pretty easy.. sudo apt-get install build-essential.. then move to the directory where you unpaked the tar file and sudo ./vmware-yada-yada.pl [06:57] I read this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=600126 all abou tthe bug and people were doing all kinds of crazy stuff to get it working, pulling out ram, mixing up master and slave drives and cdroms, all kinds of stuff [06:57] CaptainMurphy: Well, I tried 8.04, had the bug, tried 7.10, and now it works, so something in between there gave me the problem but supposedly it just means your CD is messed up, even getting a different copy of 8.04 SHOULD work, but, you never know. [06:57] Clutz.. so on install of Ubuntu the rez was borked and you went directly to xorg to edit? [06:57] i boot to the cd load the kernel and get Ramdisk incomplete write -28 !=32768 invalid compressed format kernal panic unable to mount fs on unkown-block(1,0) [06:58] izinucs: first i tried doing the standard, enable restricted driver method, got that black screen of doom on boot so i restored my xorg.conf [06:58] CaptainMurphy: I didn't have internet at the time I was trying to do it, just my collection of Linux CDs/DVDs from the last year or so, so I just tried different CDs [06:58] !swat [06:58] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [06:58] I tried 3 copies of the 8.04 CD, all md5 verfied one of them was the alternate CD [06:58] crazz: I'm not even sure you could run the alternate with that... [06:58] izinucs: seconds i tried using the driver from the nvidia site, same thing [06:58] izinucs: 3rd i tried envy, also same result [06:58] ubuntu_PowerPC_dapper [06:58] Lamprey> oops... didnt realize i could do a description search in synaptic[noob!] [06:58] Clutz, does this card work on windows? or have you tried? [06:59] izinucs: lastly i tried going back to the nvidia driver from the site but added resolutions to the xorg.conf hoping it would help [06:59] and the install CD worked on a laptop of mine like a month ago, so I'm sure its not the CD, I think its just the installer is buggy somehow and it hits some files it has trouble with and then gives and I/O error [06:59] izinucs: works fine on windows [06:59] Crazz: yup, that's pretty limited........I'm not quite sure what to suggest. [06:59] izinucs: works mildly on vesa: 800x600 resolution with no 3d [07:00] Clutz, have you tried "nv" instead of vesa? [07:00] izinucs: not yet [07:00] how do I empty the trash bin? [07:00] have you hear of a distro callled Damn Small Linux? [07:00] macvr: np, drop back in and let me know which you prefer after you get a chance to use them. :) [07:00] izinucs: should i try that now on my default xorg.conf or the one i showed you up there? [07:00] Crazz, DSL, yes. used for flash-mob computing [07:00] koala_man, you still in here? [07:00] Crazz: I've used DSL before, its good [07:00] Clutz, sure [07:01] izinucs: which? [07:01] Lamprey> sure... [07:01] thank u [07:01] hi [07:01] Clutz, switch nvidia for nv [07:01] In HH, I tried to make a new login in a window and it said that my x server was configured badly, possibly the driver? [07:01] kk [07:01] well i can't use the flash part but you think there is a way to install it from os 8? [07:01] hello how do you run a .bin file in ubuntu? [07:01] Crazz: yeah, there's that, and Puppy,,,,,and a few others. I don't know which ones are compatible with PowerPC Macs though. [07:01] bin stands for binary, whats it for? [07:01] actually i want to install a newly downloaded zend studio for eclipse [07:02] it's in .bin format [07:02] was there also a .cue file? [07:02] phpcurious : technicaly you can try to "run" any program. do a sudo chmod +x to make it executable [07:02] just chmod +x it and then ./crazy.bin phpcurious [07:02] if so then you could use a CD burning program [07:02] how do I empty the trash bin as root??? [07:02] okay wait let me check it [07:02] it needs to be executable before you can execute it [07:02] ... for anyone who knows or has used genisoimage to make a bootable cd, Im getting an error related to pathspec, not sure what it's referring to [07:03] just ran system profiler and processor is PowerPC G3 [07:03] What is a proper driver for an 8800GT in xorg.conf? [07:03] that help narrow it down a bit? [07:03] AngryKoala: nvidia [07:03] !trash | mistform [07:03] mistform: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [07:03] it says that it is configured badly [07:03] AngryKoala: provided that you have the relevant package installed [07:03] bobertdos, that does nothing. [07:04] no help whatsover [07:04] AngryKoala: I only managed to get 8800GT working with the nvidia driver from the nvidia website [07:04] angrykoala you'll want to use the NV driver over the Nvidia driver I believe? [07:04] I used envy [07:04] whatsoever* [07:04] AngryKoala: it will also autoconfigure your xorg.conf [07:04] mistform: not even when you do sudo rm to that location? [07:04] bobertdos, ty, now THAT helps [07:04] Clutz, did you change to the nv driver? [07:04] Im having trouble getting my screen res back to its original options [07:04] guys... how many of u are using pidgin? i'd like to know if i can turn off the notification when each person logs in/out [07:04] ok, but my problem is that when I try to open a "new login in a window" it says my x server is not properly configured [07:04] Im stuck at no hgher than 800x600 [07:04] angrykoala my bad.. you're probably trying to get glx and desktop effects for the cool stuff? [07:04] izinucs: yeah, about to reboot [07:04] do not use stupid tools to magically create xystem critical files like xorg.conf!!! [07:05] whenever I try to check my repositories in Synaptic, it tells me they've changed and I must hit reload, after I hit reload and then it updates and I try to view/edit my repositories, it does the same thing, and I can't do it. [07:05] *system critical [07:05] Clutz, just ctrl+alt+backspace [07:05] <--- Stupid tools for stupid people [07:05] mistform: and actually, you want to do: sudo rm /* [07:05] Lamprey: it works now. thanks for the info! [07:05] izinucs: ok [07:05] Joshoo1: paste your sources.list somewhere [07:05] joshoo1: have you tried running sudo apt-get update from a terminal window? [07:06] Lamprey: Yes [07:06] bobertdos, how do I remove directories? [07:06] bobertdos, without emptying the files first [07:06] mistform, rm -r [07:06] guys... how many of u are using pidgin? i'd like to know if i can turn off the notification when each person logs in/out [07:07] jim_p: What do you mean paste my sources.list somewhere? [07:07] chubs, could I make a launcher to "sudo rm -r /home/mist/.local/share/Trash/files/*", or would this be not a good thing to do? [07:07] pulled up pidgin on another computer while i do this [07:07] my x server says "cannot start a new display, perhaps it is not configured well" [07:07] macvr, there is an option for that.. can't remember where though [07:07] mistform: You may actually want to cd into the trash and then: sudo rm -rf . [07:07] Joshoo1: your problem seems to be something is /etc/apt/sources.list . paste its content in pastebin for us to see [07:07] mistform, wouldn't make a difference but I don't see the point. you'd probably have to use gksu since sudo is called from the command line only also [07:08] izinucs>i just cant find that option! what are u using? [07:08] macvr, check in the plugins [07:08] macvr, for irc? here? xchat and sometimes irssi [07:09] need help with ipod it charges but wont recognize any suggestions? [07:09] chubs, whats the difference between running gksu and sudo from the commandline? I tried gksu and it didn't give me all the correct permissions for a game to download patch files [07:09] !ipod | bmxer [07:09] bmxer: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [07:09] chubs> i have no plugins enabled... or which one does this? [07:10] mistform: gksu should be used for graphical programs, sudo for command line programs [07:10] iz [07:10] ubottu: ewww. rockbox? That's might not be a good suggestion for someone that just wants to sync their ipod on linux... [07:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:10] i cant get ubunta to recognize my ipod... [07:10] ubuntu* [07:11] nite zzz [07:11] macvr, press Ctrl+P for preferences in Pidgin. Then go to Sounds, and the box near the bottom should have a list of things you can check/unchek. look there [07:11] I have a medibuntu problem. I tried to install mplayer, but I get this error " Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>=1.18.3) but 1.18.2-0ubuntu1 is to be installed [07:11] izinucs: no such luck, my screen is blank (like it's out of range) but i could hear it start [07:11] my x server says "cannot start a new display, perhaps it is not configured well" when I try to make a new login in a new window [07:11] Here's my sources list! http://paste.ubuntu.com/52367/ [07:11] Clutz, during all your trials and errors did you happen to install nvidia-settings? [07:12] I'm getting a "no space left on device" error when I know that's not the case. baobab reports the correct amount of free space but df doesn't [07:12] where can I find to fix this? [07:12] izinucs: only if it was installed along with the restricted driver, nvidia driver. or envy [07:12] what is the chances of finding a version on linux you can install from mac os? [07:12] Joshoo1: Whats the problem? Oh. It could be a bug in the version from -proposed. You really shouldn't be running proposed (and also should think twice before enabling backports as well) [07:13] Flannel: You once told someone how to do disk checks on boot using the file touch function. How did that go again? [07:13] bobertdos: sudo touch /forcefsck then reboot [07:13] what [07:13] this is weird [07:13] macvr, any luck? [07:14] bobertdos: there's a flag you can pass to shutdown too. You'd have to check the manpage [07:14] izinucs> how are they ? easy to use? do u guys actually type another users username or do u just click and it comes? [07:14] anyone have any ideas? [07:15] Flannel: Yeah, I read the manpage, but when I realized it was meant to modify file flags, I realized I forgot the filename. [07:15] Clutz, I'm thinking that maybe you have an install of 2 different nvidia drivers.. other than synaptic I dont know another way to check that out.. before looking .. you might install nvidia-settings and change the driver back to nvidia in xorg.. restart x and then off the System/admin menu you'll find nvidia-settings.. might be able to make the changes there.. actually run it from terminal.. [07:15] mistform>i dont have probs with sounds but will check if there is anything there for no displaying the log events [07:15] !paste [07:15] 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) [07:15] Flannel: I want the backports but they aren't important, just fun. it keeps telling me it needs to run a partial upgrade and wants to try to go from hardy to gutsy, I can't even get into repositories to uncheck stuff, I can only edit sources.list [07:16] bobertdos: if /forcefsck exists, it'll do a fsck, if /fastboot exists it'll explicitly not fsck. If they're both... I'm not really sure. [07:16] how do I watch a DVD in ubuntu? [07:16] macvr, xchat is much easier than pidgin for irc.. irssi is a terminal app and great to have around in case your gui doesn't work. [07:16] baobab is reporting 440.8GB as used, but df is reporting all 466G as used [07:16] Joshoo1: sources.list is all you need. Comment out the backports and proprosed lines. [07:16] where can I find the 26GB discrepancy? [07:16] i dont remember who help me with virtualbox and file share, but it takes for ever when i try to see files on shared folders, is it normal? can i speed it up? [07:16] hi all [07:16] izinucs> thnx [07:16] Joshoo1: also, check this folder for contents: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [07:16] izinucs: I uninstalled envy completely, and the nvidia driver from the site removed the restricted driver one when it was installing [07:16] Flannel: You think that's what's making Synaptic keep telling to reload my sources? [07:16] i cant play online movies in ubuntu [07:16] macvr, don't install xchat-gnome.. just xchat [07:17] How do I watch a dvd in ubuntu? [07:17] ok [07:17] !dvd | complex_number [07:17] complex_number: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [07:17] Joshoo1: No, I have no idea what synaptic is doing. But it could be a non-stable version, since that certainly sounds like a bug [07:17] anyone? [07:17] complex_number, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras mplayer [07:17] voidmage: what is du saying? [07:17] Clutz, so. .. remind me.. no gui at all or bad resolution.. late for me. [07:18] i cant play online movies in ubuntu [07:18] faria: could you be a bit more specific, please? [07:18] how do i sort du by filesize? [07:18] izinucs: the gui must have come up this last time, it made the appropriate sounds, i just can't see [07:18] Flannel: K I just commented out, and nothing in that folder. [07:18] faria: you may need to install w32 codecs to watch on-line movies. [07:18] izinucs: normally my computer locks up when i boot [07:18] voidmage: er, you dont. Or at least, not on its own. [07:18] Clutz, try ctrl+alt+f7 [07:18] Joshoo1: Alright, save and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [07:18] izinucs: what's that do? [07:19] Flannel: K, halfway done with that will report back soon thanks for helping me out [07:19] que tal alguien de mexico [07:19] Clutz, takes you to the typical tty for the gui.. ctrl+alt+f1-6 are text based tty's [07:19] !es | Tazlc [07:19] Tazlc: 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. [07:19] izinucs: ok [07:19] tks frieds [07:20] Flannel: then how can I find the offending 20G file? [07:20] voidmage: Its likely not a 20G file. [07:20] Clutz, also is the monitor a crt or lcd? [07:20] voidmage: what does du say your total usage is on that partition? [07:20] 441G [07:20] df is reporting 466G used though [07:21] voidmage: so, baobab and du both report 441? [07:21] right [07:21] quit [07:21] it's df that reports 466 and programs report "no space left on device" [07:22] Flannel: I think the problem stems from I had to install 7.10 and then upgrade to 8.04 cause a straight install to 8.04 messed up my graphics, and then I forgot to plug in my laptop and it died while finishing up the upgrade, so my sources got messed up and not everything was done. I believe that's the root of this problem [07:23] can barely search for this on google since everything thinks i'm out of space [07:23] voidmage; you could try getting rid of something [07:23] voidmage: Have you cleaned your package cache? (sudo apt-get clean)? [07:23] When I try and play a DVD, Mplayer does nothing [07:23] Flannel: I have a separate home partition [07:23] and it freezes [07:23] voidmage: Also, check /var/ (especially /var/log/) for a runaway log file [07:24] oh [07:24] Joshoo1: This ought to fix that then. [07:24] runaway process [07:24] and we're back [07:25] Flannel: Looks like it, installing ok, I saw replacement synaptic and replacement apt-get in there. Still working but farther than the last time i tried doing this. [07:25] chubs>yep was there in plugins... its eithere that or no1 has left /joined the room since lamprey quit mistform... > join/part hiding plugin [07:25] !Medibuntu [07:25] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [07:26] had a process redirecting output to a logfile [07:26] the process died but the file still had space reserved for it [07:26] Is there any way to tell how much ink I have left in my printer? [07:26] Every time I run google chrome in VMware the whole operating system crashes with message "ata4.01 status { DRDY ERR }" [07:27] Hi I have just downloaded the latest ISO to install and get a 'not valid Cd error' hwen I put in a Cd drive of a machine running Winows XP [07:27] how slow can file sharing in virtualbox be? [07:27] theDtTvB2: That could have something to do with Chrome treating tabs like different processes [07:27] Uhmm... [07:27] i cant play online movies in ubuntu [07:27] Hi, Im having some trouble with download speeds on my bittorrent client. Im using a router (linksys WRT54G) and my client is Deluge. My speed is a T1 Connection, I have seen 2 mb/s dld speeds b4 but now im getting like 10-15 [07:27] kb/s [07:28] Indoctrine: It's strange that it crashes the host operating system. (Ubuntu) [07:28] faria: what KINDS of online movies? [07:28] johnedmiston1956: Which image did you use and are you sure the disk burned successfully? [07:29] http://www.paktvlive.com/ [07:29] u can chek this site its working on xp good but now here i cant run it [07:29] izinucs: how long time you took to compile .tar.gz (VMware Server 2.0) ? [07:29] kindly help me to sort out the problem [07:29] Latest 8.04 desktop for i-386 and when I burned it i had Nero do a verification [07:29] nomingzi, about 3 minutes with answering the questions. [07:30] johnedmiston1956: normally you'd restart computer w cd in cdrom tray [07:30] I can play a DVD but it's all crazy [07:30] I can hear the sound [07:30] ubuntu is cool os but when i got problem then left this os and join again xp [07:30] but the picture is garbled [07:31] I can sort of see the movie [07:31] Tried that first... [07:31] complex_number; that would be copyright protection preventing you from seeing the movie. [07:31] are you serious? [07:31] I have libdvdcss though [07:31] is that part of my hardware? [07:32] bastid_raZor: Couldn't be a codec thing? Wouldn't protection just stop it from being copied not played? [07:32] hello can some one help me [07:32] Joshoo1; if you can play it you can copy it. [07:32] but it's only a dvd [07:32] you can play dvds [07:33] bastid_raZor: But then you could logically copy ANY DVD unless you bought one that wasn't playable, which would be pointless [07:33] with libdvdcss [07:33] complex_number; Joshoo1 i'll bet you can play the movie in a regular DVD player not on a computer. === freqk is now known as freqk|away [07:33] bastid_raZor: Yeah prob [07:33] Is there any way to tell how much ink I have left in my printer? [07:33] faria: That site uses ActiveX controls. Basically, you're out of luck in Ubuntu. [07:33] whats that means [07:34] help with vbox file sharing too slow...! [07:34] complex_number; can you test the DVD in a standalone DVD player? [07:34] faria: ActiveX is something Internet Explorer uses [07:34] then [07:34] taria: you could try IE4linux [07:34] it means can i go back to xp [07:34] faria: It adds functionality to some pages and can be a nuisance if improperly used [07:35] faria: faria: That site uses ActiveX controls. Basically, you're out of luck in Ubuntu. [07:35] then no solution for that [07:36] faria: Simply because ActiveX is an Internet Explorer thing and there's no IE or any way of getting IE in Ubuntu [07:36] #bittorent [07:36] faria: i use IE4linux for a website that has activex [07:36] Indoctrine: check out IE4Linux [07:36] but firefox also can play that movies [07:36] i use in xp [07:36] technoid_: Not likely. I live fine without IE. [07:37] it [07:37] faria: That's becuase the latest version of Firefox in Windows now comes with an ActiveX helper. [07:37] hmmm [07:37] While it might not be for you, telling someone that there is no way to run IE on ubuntu isn't correct [07:37] technoid_ can u guide me how can i get ie4 [07:37] technoid_: I hadn't even heard of it. But it seems oxymoronic to be using IE in Linux [07:37] The DVD works in a normal DVD player [07:38] faria: just a moment [07:38] but it's a bit garbled on my computer [07:38] how do i set my wlan0 device to stay alive? [07:38] technoid_ok [07:38] try http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page [07:38] oh, now it's working again [07:38] complex_number: What player are you using? [07:38] strange [07:38] I had to take it out and put it back in again to fix it [07:38] wtf [07:39] ubuntu is new os then it must have new ver of firefox [07:39] ok im getting an error trying to install aptana with java can anyone help? i have the log file [07:39] Maybe it doesn't like you, complex_number. ;) [07:39] indoctrine: my banks go through phases of being compat with ff and not being compat [07:39] faria: Only the Firefox in Windows has the ActiveX helper [07:39] maybe it's my imaginary imagination [07:39] or am I the real part [07:39] complex_number: Maybe it's the imaginary number [07:39] very bad firefox is the main browser of linux [07:39] but it not updates [07:40] faria: Yes, it does, but the Ubuntu build will never support ActiveX. That would go against what we believe in. [07:40] does anyone have experience here that can help me with aptana java install? [07:40] anyone have experience with ipblock / iplist? [07:40] why ubutu get a diffrent track then others [07:40] Hi there! Ive just installed ubuntu with alternative installer on my laptop. When I try to use the update manager, it wont download, but I got the laptop wired to the network... I cant choose another resolution than 800x600, how come? [07:40] zenmaster: can't you just download the source and compile? [07:40] faria: Because Ubuntu has to make sure everything they include is licensed under GNU [07:40] ahaan [07:41] that good sign [07:41] Znow: i'd try to research resolution & your mobo [07:41] And ActiveX is not licensed under GNU because it's a Windows thing, faria. [07:41] envisean:ill check again [07:41] envisean huh? [07:41] Znow: your graphics chipset just probably wsn't recognized and setup properly during installation [07:41] ahhh ok thanks mate ;) [07:41] any way if i can run the movie then its ok [07:41] but, whatabout the update manager? [07:41] Znow: np, you can play w/ your X11 settings as well [07:42] Try the IE4Linux thing that technoid_ suggested, faria. [07:42] Znow: apt-get doesn't work? [07:42] I can try [07:42] Znow: i'd give that a shot first [07:42] hello, is Ubuntu the easiest distro of Linux to start learning Linux on ? [07:42] Znow: if you used an alternative installer, who knows what didn't come w/ it [07:42] supersized: It sure is. [07:42] supersized: yes, some would argue so [07:43] supersized: it's easier than windows :) [07:43] yes i do [07:43] are there any video tut's out there on Linux that anyone knows of ? [07:43] envisean¬ as long as you dont hit any bumps :P [07:43] envisean: I always use the alt installer and I've never had a problem, it always includes my drivers, which are usually annoying ones [07:43] nnull: haha yes, well if you hit bumps w/ a windows install, good luck :-P [07:43] translated from danish: "E: could open the lockfile /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 permission denied) [07:43] supersized: google up some ubuntu tutorials [07:43] envisean¬ haha true [07:43] faria: That's beyond what I can do. [07:44] hmmm [07:44] supersized: there are more than their fair share on youtube, etc [07:44] then who is here able to guide me [07:44] Znow: sudo :) [07:44] supersized: I think there's a site called learnlinux.com or something. There a lot of tutorials out there, but mainly just keep using and it figure it out as you go, and read manuals and guides and hang out in the chat and watch what people talk about to pick stuff up [07:44] faria: I'd suggest you learn a little more about Linux before attempting that. [07:44] Znow: try running it under root first, heh [07:44] supersized: Also, google fosswire linux cheat sheet [07:44] Dear anybody [07:44] Znow: you probably need to do: sudo apt-get update first [07:44] ok thanks [07:44] ello [07:44] but now will try [07:44] Does anyone know how to deal with a [errno 5] input output error? during ubuntu install? [07:44] I'm trying to install ubuntu to my netbook [07:45] my eeepc 701 to be precise [07:45] I've used windows for about 10 years now and its time for somthing different, I like Ubuntu a lot, learn pretty fast [07:45] faria: Learning is good. =) Make sure to read widely. The Ubuntu Wiki is a good place to start [07:45] been toying around with it for a few days now [07:45] Hrmm, the best GUI BitTorrent client I've used in Ubuntu is still uTorrent.

[07:53] envisean - yes I get an respons [07:53] 64 bytes bla bla bla [07:53] Znow: ok, then try to run sudo apt-get update [07:53] nnull: i was just wondering where we were at in the "i can't get this to work..." pattern [07:53] Indoctrine: well, I was trying to fix it myself and I did install some restricted packages [07:53] Znow: if that doesn't work, install sources manually [07:53] Indoctrine: can you tell the names to check? [07:53] Beyonder: Can you type into a terminal sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [07:53] Beyonder: Have you installed all the gstreamer codecs? Actually, ubuntu-restricted-extras is a good way to do it. [07:53] faria: did you follow the instructions? [07:53] At this point I want to go to another user friendly distro but I don' tknow what, Ive only work with ubuntu really and xbuntu [07:53] If you want to install Internet Explorer on your Linux desktop, you must have a valid Microsoft Windows license, otherwise installing Internet Explorer is illegal. [07:54] envisean - how do I do that? [07:54] faria: do you have a windows license? [07:54] no [07:54] i have made a list of files to be downloaded with the use of the "wget -i list.txt" option and on the top line of the file i have put this comment >> ## this is a list for downloads with wget. why does wget read this line although its commented out? [07:54] Indoctrine, bobertdos, thanks, doing it right away [07:54] faria: You don't have a Windows activation key? [07:54] WHAT? Internet Explorer on linux? [07:55] so then how would you go back to XP? [07:55] Beyonder: Np, let me know if there's still problems? [07:55] ishn: yes, using IE4Linux [07:55] oh thats i have [07:55] Znow: did you get my PM? [07:55] faria: Is your Windows XP a legal copy? If so, you have a license. [07:55] jim_p, maybe # isn't a comment according to wget [07:55] Why would you want IE? [07:55] yes 2 sec [07:56] lshn1: some banks...and quickbooksonline [07:56] Ishn1: web developing for instance [07:56] i thought maybe its some kind of driving liecense [07:56] hmm [07:56] Ishn1: because of activex controls *barf* [07:56] hheheheh [07:56] This is what I'm getting from update manager when I try to do an update: (at http://paste.ubuntu.com/52360/) . On advice from here, I closed update manager, ran apt-get update, and then did a check for new updates (in update manager) and I still get the same error. [07:56] ltracy_: obviously! how do i comment it out? [07:56] jim_p, why do you need the line? [07:57] jim_p, I would tell you, but I don't know :) [07:57] hi [07:57] is there any tool for ubuntu like ultrasurf??? [07:57] jim_p; you can comment lines by putting a # at the beginning [07:57] faria: you should be able to follow the ubuntu instructions on that site. Remember to change the edgey reference to what ever version you are running, [07:57] ltracy_: i need to use other commented lines too. for the times that i dont have time for all the downloads to complete [07:57] ok' [07:57] Indoctrine: ok, i've installed it, but still Rythmbox wont play the mp3s... [07:57] bastid_raZor: it doesnt work either [07:58] faria: are you running 8.04? [07:58] KaRnA: Is TorK anything like what you mean?

[07:59] *set to [07:59] Indoctrine: no [07:59] jim_p; oh, i read your question. wget doesn't work like that. you'll need a script to actually determine which to get and not to get. [07:59] Beyonder: I'm not sure. Try restarting alsa. [08:00] Indoctrine: hmm... may i ask how? [08:00] bastid_raZor: script for what? for downloading a list of files??? "wget -i list.txt" works fine for it [08:00] jim_p, I think it wants an html file. Try using html comments? [08:00] Beyonder: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [08:00] jim_p, well, make it valid html and then add html comments :) [08:01] ltracy_: how are html comments? <~-- ? [08:01] jim_p; okay, then don't put a file in the .txt file you don't want downloaded. [08:01] bastid_raZor: but i have to keep them somewhere!!! [08:01] jim_p, umm I think [08:01] I've installed gtk-gnutella from synaptic but sounds old how can i upgrade it [08:01] ltracy_: Correct [08:01] jim_p, you prolly need tags arround things too [08:01] ltracy_: let me give it a shot [08:02] Indoctrine: no effect, it wont even start playing staying at 0:00 [08:02] jim_p, like at the front and end of your file [08:02] Indoctrine: have u used gpas [08:02] Beyonder: Is it freezing? Have you tried playing in other media players? [08:02] ltracy_: i know :P [08:02] KaRnA: Can't say I have. [08:03] Is this the right place to ask about sound problems? [08:03] Indoctrine: not freezing, just not going further than 0:00. VLC seems to play something but with no sound... [08:03] Nobody else had trouble upgrading from util-linux-2.13.1-5? [08:03] or to.. [08:04] yes i have 8.0.4 [08:04] Beyonder: Can you type lspci into a terminal and put the output up on pastebin? [08:04] Can i even run bearshare on ubuntu ?

I was having problems with my sound not too long ago [08:06] AwaDoV: alt+F2 type gnome-panel --restart [08:06] I'm having problems getting a seagate freeagent go drive to be recognized.., anyone have any ideas?

[08:08] when I'm watching a DVD [08:08] jim_p, yeah, if you do ---force-html and then you make your urls anchor tags ( ) it'll work [08:08] i did and nothing occur [08:08] Indoctrine: with sound, watched some avi 2 days ago [08:08] AwaDoV: if its completely frozen ctrl+alt+backspace [08:08] Beyonder: Does it work now? [08:09] hi, im sure everyone gets this a lot: but i installed ubuntu yesterday on a new laptop... could use a few pointers. in short: wireless drivers don't work :( [08:09] ltracy_: what exactly does --forcehtml do? [08:09] Beyonder: I had a similar problem but it was freezing my media players, when I finally worked out what it was, I'd already reinstalled once. [08:09] jim_p, makes it read the file you give it as html :) [08:09] I'm having some troubles with my sound - I can hear the sound, but it is extremely soft. [08:10] ltracy_: i think it may be handy for rs liks [08:10] jim_p, why it doesn't if the file starts with I have no idea [08:11] karthur26: whats lspci |grep Network show for wireless? [08:11] Indoctrine: ehmm.. now it wont, but I guess that could be the effect of alsa restart, as it worked before 3 hours,gonna restart now [08:11] Beyonder: Okies [08:11] would anyone be able to help with my wireless drivers? or maybe tell me how to run ibex?

My sound was working a few days ago, but now it is not. [08:12] hi.... Can someone give me hand to solve a problem with installer CD customization? [08:12] karthur26: You may have to wait, I think the last thing they put in is the GUI. ;) [08:13] karthur26: Or at least the last thing they put in is a user friendly installer. [08:13] jim_p, it's more like it doesnt even recognise its plugged in, as opposed to just not mounting... [08:13] yannickm1: Just ask the question - dont ask to ask [08:14] Well, i've been trying to customize the installer CD [08:14] khakihacky: is it in lsusb? [08:14] damn. This is frustrating. I can't install updates because it can't replace util-linux because there is some stupid error in the package removal script [08:14] however the CD i'm producing is causing the installer to go into PPOE mode, (failing of course) [08:14] I can't remove it myself because it's 'essential' [08:14] I'm sorry I'm not sure what you mean [08:14] i spent hours trying to track what is causing it [08:14] and comparing to the normal server CD [08:15] Beyonder: How's it going? [08:15] Indoctrine: it works now, I guess the restricted packets did the job, just had to reboot, thanks a lot [08:15] it seem to have something to do with my ubuntu-keyring which i had to regenerate in order to re-sign the release, so that i include my own key [08:15] Beyonder: No probs. :) [08:15] Oh.... now I see... and no, its not [08:16] anyone has any experience of that ?

[08:31] exit [08:31] Rat409: i see, thanks so much for your help. i cant express my gratitude enough [08:32] karthur26: if you know the exact driver and can get the source you can try building the kernel-module. or just build the kernel.org's current/most recent [08:34] My bottom panel no longer goes bold when I get a message on MSN.

[09:25] well what id like is if i could have 4 seprate work spaces like on screen 1 i just have no icons maybe an internet link and some modest wallpaper [09:25] what can i install 8.04 ubuntu onto my pc....i have a freshly cleaned hard drive that i just nuked. and i still get buffer i/o error on device sr0 & fd0 [09:26] then on desktop 2 some links for work related stuff and maybe a beach kinda wallpaper [09:26] i can install 7.1 though [09:26] but not 8.04 [09:26] what gives? [09:26] you know? [09:27] i've tried both the regular anad the alternative [09:27] Then maybe on desktop 3 i put my clan wall paper and some links for my games and to stats page [09:28] Finally got xchat way i like it the autojoin channel was selected before [09:28] u get what im trying to do? anyone know how I can set that up [09:28] Dolo, I know what you mean, I know users can do the wallpapers but im not sure about the icons since all the workspaces by default link to your desktop folder, and the device/location icons are a global setting I believe. So not sure. [09:29] intresting [09:31] xxploit: would it be possible to make extra folders like desktop 2 ,3 ,4 then fix the links somehow?

I downloaded rt73-source from the repos, how do I compile and install it? [10:33] ?? [10:35] tarelerulz: I don't understand your question. the flashplayer file is the executable, and it will work wherever you extract it to. but if it's not in your path, you will have to specify the location to make it work. eg "/home/myusername/flashplayer-standalone/flashplayer myflashfile.swf" === RichiH is now known as Guest90132 [10:36] tarelerulz: but if it's in a location in your path (eg /usr/bin/) then it would just need "flashplayer myflashfile.swf" no matter which directory you are in [10:37] good morning !!

Maybe someone can pitch in, or ask later in the day [10:57] anyone ? [10:57] ActionParsnip, This all started from the update manager. util-linux kept failing so I downloaded the same repo from the repository and tried that [10:58] mefisto__ that standalone version of adobe flash player did not work at all. I try using it to open a flash video I got off youtube ,but it did not play it at all. Thanks for your help . I think it was not made for playing local files [10:58] where can i find screen package in ubuntu ??? [10:59] kde4 aint much kop is it [10:59] I know this is a bit offtopic, but can someone tell me can firewire latency be adjusted in windows? (I'm a ubuntu dude, but I have this burning problem) [10:59] tarelerulz: the standalone is for playing .swf files [10:59] Finnish: ask in Windows! [11:00] tarelerulz: what you got from youtube is probably a .flv file [11:01] hey people! What IRC client do you use to minimise the madness? [11:01] I thought the standalone version of flash player was the same thing as what is installed on firefox. I am not crazy for thinking such am I ? [11:01] tarelerulz: try opening the .flv in mplayer or some other video player. it works for me with most players [11:01] I know I will probably get a biased answer here, but what linux distro do you recommend for a newbie? [11:02] I tried Ubuntu already, it kept crashing and finally I lost everything >.> [11:02] leslieviljoen: Probably the two most common ones are Xchat or Irssi, Xchat is graphical client like MIRC, irssi is command line [11:02] Athleone: try the wubi.exe Ubuntu in Windows [11:02] Yes, that is what I tried. [11:02] ah [11:03] go for an install then [11:03] DJones: I need something that highlights each different person's output in a different colour [11:03] or try the live cd I mean === RichiH is now known as Guest60681 [11:04] leslieviljoen: That I don't know, I only use irssi now [11:04] Athleone: put the cd in your drive, boot and press f12 or whatever to choose to boot from the cd [11:04] I don't have a cd, dmh65. [11:04] :) [11:05] The reason I went for adobe standalone was play videos I have gotten off other sites like youtube and so on. In firefox they play fine sometimes. If I have more then one video going flash player seem to mess up . I thought maybe if I got the standalone version I could play the movies at later date. Plus mplayer , vlc and totem don't seem to work well. One lets me fast forward and other don't let me do that. So you can see [11:05] if your feeling brave, go ahead and do the install [11:05] Fedora is looking more and more attractive o_o [11:05] just backup important stuff [11:05] I didnt have the time to wait for Fedora to boot up :) [11:06] opensuse installs nice too [11:06] I'm running Slax from a USB drive right now. === Aaqil1 is now known as Aaqil [11:07] hmm [11:07] tarelerulz: I use smplayer (which is a great mplayer frontend) and there is a setting in there to "create index when necessary" or something, which will allow ff and rew [11:07] Athleone: get a cd drive mate, they are 2 a penny :), then you can try loads of live cd's [11:08] On all non-root users auto completion works for things like apt-get install, and other things, but as root, tab completion only works for paths and commands, not things like apt-get , why is this [11:08] but.....but USB drive linux is awesome! :( [11:08] I expect there is Ubuntu for usb!

Then I don't qualify :P [11:48] OS X is my main OS [11:48] damn it was so baaad [11:48] i rebooted back to Ubuntu :) [11:48] VMs excluded, I've completely switched at home [11:49] I had windows on my macbook for a while a year ago or so [11:49] leslieviljoen: VM excluded I use freedos in VM :P [11:49] booted it three times I think [11:49] Been mostly windows-free for at least... 6 years [11:49] Chousuke: bu the way how is OSX? [11:49] never used [11:50] I like it. [11:50] There are some things Windows does better than Linux [11:50] Linux is faster but meh. [11:50] !ot [11:50] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:50] IntuitiveNipple: agree [11:50] For instance, I certainly miss those blue screens of death :) [11:50] people are getting alot more freedom it feels like on their computers [11:50] lol [11:50] IntuitiveNipple: That can be said of all OSes :/ [11:51] anyway, yeah, OT [11:51] No it isn't [11:51] move to -offtopic [11:51] yes it is. [11:51] Ubuntu bug #1 [11:51] is the 64 bit version of ubuntu have good support for multimedia apps [11:51] Ubuntu bug 1 in ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 [11:51] That's a support issue [11:51] IntuitiveNipple: no [11:52] LOL Ubuntu bug#1 I like it :D [11:52] what is it? [11:52] kenalex_: you'll miss some things. There's no sun java plugin (you can use the free version with icedtea). There's also no w32codecs, so I've had at least a couple of movies where I've had to run mplayer in a chroot to hear sound [11:53] Well guys lets move to offtopic :x [11:53] ok [11:53] w64codecs [11:53] jrib: doesn't w64codecs have them? [11:53] MrKennie: they don't contain everything ( IntuitiveNipple) [11:53] ok [11:53] MrKennie, IntuitiveNipple: look at the package sizes to convince yourself :) [11:54] tho, with reference to BUG#1, I have to complain about this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263555 [11:54] if it doesn't play for me I don't bother and find an alternative source or forget it [11:54] Launchpad bug 263555 in linux "[intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e driver places Intel ICH8 and ICH9 gigE chipsets at risk" [Critical,In progress] [11:54] hi all [11:54] When we do a ctrl-d on a putty (ssh access to a box), which signal does it generate? [11:54] hi [11:54] leslieviljoen: that's in a development version of ubuntu though [11:54] with iptables can you say 'ssh' for dport ? [11:54] rather than 22 [11:55] why buy a macbook then put linux on it, you can buy a way better intel/amd based system for the same price [11:55] ActionParsnip, cause they look cool? [11:55] MetalWrath_: you can yes [11:55] !intrepid | leslieviljoen [11:55] jrib: still, Microsoft would not make the mistake of releasing ANY code that could permanently damage computers [11:55] leslieviljoen: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October! [11:56] leslieviljoen: ubuntu hasn't released intrepid, anyway this is offtopic here [11:56] I think you confused development code with stable code [11:56] leslieviljoen, also microsoft would be able to pass the buck to the people who wrote the device driver [11:57] creative should at least make a good driver for their xfi cards and get heir head of their a$$es [11:57] No you don't get it, this code can break hardware [11:58] and? it's development code, use at your own risk. [11:58] same as if you were to use windows beta x y z [11:58] The last time "risk" meant broken hardware was in the commodore days when there was a special POKE that could kill your VIC chip [11:58] leslieviljoen: did you even read the bug? [11:59] Ever since, "risk" has meant "broken software" [11:59] i find ignore works well [11:59] Hey guys. I am trying to use a usb stick on ubuntu 8.04 but it seems it cannot recognize the fat32 partion on it and it can't mount it. Here is the dmesg output: http://paste.debian.net/18222 Any hints? [11:59] Fine, ignore me [11:59] leslieviljoen: the driver has been blacklisted since the issue was realized [12:00] jrib, seriously don't humour the troll [12:00] that's all I'm saying about it [12:00] Hi I am trying to mount up a Samsung mobile phone can anyone help I can see it with lsusb [12:01] frith: constructive criticism! [12:01] leslieviljoen: The issue is a non-standard design by Intel that maps the PCI device NVRAM into IOMEM. We have patches for it being considered [12:01] frith: I love Ubuntu!

[12:03] jrib: ok, have to go anyway. But there really *is* no place this can be discussed you'll find. Its offtopic everywhere, and it's embarrasing. [12:03] the only annoyance about ubuntu thus far I have found is there's no su mode. [12:03] mefisto__ nope, just used windows to check what filesystem it has after the first try on ubuntu. [12:03] You have to use sudo for everything [12:03] which blows. [12:04] I'm not THAT much of a noob. [12:04] MetalWrath_: you can sudo -i [12:04] Quick question, does Live Disk (8.04.1) have a repair mode? If yes, I will search for my answer, if no, I will stop looking. [12:04] MetalWrath_: there is 'su'. It switches users. You can do 'sudo -i', but you really shouldn't need to do this so often that you find sudo annoying... [12:04] MrKennie: I love you. [12:04] MetalWrath_: sudo su [12:04] jrib: I am just setting up my system [12:04] leslieviljoen: no [12:05] leslieviljoen: sudo -i is preferred [12:05] leslieviljoen: re-read what jrib just wrote [12:05] MetalWrath_: you dont use sudo for everything [12:05] ikonia: what is the difference?

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [12:43] Green_up: repeting wont get you help so wait [12:44] frederick85: run "ps aux | grep compiz" [12:44] frederick85: its not standard so you need to install it. you know if you have it [12:44] hey, guys, I am having an issue bootingl inux, it's coming up to 'error loading operating system' after I corrected the boot flag onto the correct HD [12:44] no sorry that wasn't deliberate...I used another name by mistake was chatting in mIRC on winslow previously [12:44] ActionParsnip a trident blade [12:44] hi [12:44] in a compaq laptop [12:44] vr8mf: you are using gnome right? and by customize, did you mean adding/removing launchers?

[13:03] hm.. network overlaod [13:03] IntuitiveNipple: really? [13:03] http://www.bashpartys.de/ [13:03] jrib: do you know what I'm talking about? [13:03] mmm i don't remember why i can't add new subdomins [13:03] Dolo: yeah [13:04] dam85: 2 clicks and there's a new subdomain for mail, web, and ftp [13:04] Dolo: just add your background images to the desktop cube preferences [13:04] no i want to add new subdomain [13:04] example [13:04] test1.website.com test2.website.com ecc ecc [13:04] do you mean that? [13:04] dam85: yes, thats what I just said.

[13:06] Dolo: yeah [13:07] IntuitiveNipple: i think to reinstall webmin [13:07] :) [13:07] dam85: be aware webmin is not supported and has security issues [13:08] which package should i install if i wish to setup a home nas? [13:08] jrib: doesnt seem to be having any effect [13:08] ikonia: is not supported?? [13:08] dam85: yes, ubuntu community does not support it [13:08] This ubuntu is quite nice [13:08] Dolo: wfm [13:08] if i start and reinstall ubuntu, and it comes up the black screen , does it ever load eventually? [13:08] ok [13:09] i have to dowload .deb package [13:09] and install it [13:09] Dolo: make sure you are using "custom effects" in system -> preferences -> appearance [13:10] is there a way to stop gedit highlighting everything red when you don't close an HTML tag properly? [13:10] dam85: http://dam85.tjworld.net/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/52448/ [13:10] jrib: theme custom [13:11] Dolo: under "visual effects" [13:11] KenBW: try closing it properly perhaps ;P [13:11] jrib: ya custom [13:11] which one is the best keylogger for ubuntu? [13:11] LjL: lol. i do - its just jarring when youre in the middle of typing it [13:11] !info lkl | arunvkumar, this is the only one i'm aware of [13:11] arunvkumar, this is the only one i'm aware of: lkl (source: lkl): userspace keylogger for x86 architecture. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.1-1 (hardy), package size 9 kB, installed size 124 kB (Only available for i386 kfreebsd-i386) [13:11] i want to setup a home nas, which package should i install? im new to this [13:11] anyone knows what the reason for a flickering screen might be? examples where that happens: SuperTux / Totem Movie Player when playing a DVD [13:12] jrib: holywood got nothing [13:12] only lkl is thr? [13:12] Dolo: try disabling and re-enabling the cube I guess. Do other changes have any effect? [13:12] choonming: just share a folder with either samba or nfs (samba if you use windows) [13:13] choonming: I'm not sure if there is one easy package.. what kind of file sharing protocol do you want to use? windows file sharing? nfs? ftp? [13:13] choonming: then mount it as /home [13:13] arunvkumar: it's the only thing found by "apt-cache search keylog" [13:13] choonming: the files will then be stored on the remote system [13:13] ok [13:13] im planning to setup a home nas then use vpn to access from overseas [13:13] arunvkumar: keylogger? I've never seen one in the repos.. what do you want to do with it? [13:13] thnks [13:13] i can change the wallpaper , I was asking how to have differnt wallpapers on the differnt sides of the cube [13:13] im thinking of using either ftp or nfs [13:13] IntuitiveNipple : i see [13:14] choonming: both windows and linux can mount ftp [13:14] choonming: then you'll need an ftp server and nfs server respectively [13:14] is there a way to ssh across the internet if i cant enable Port Forwarding? [13:14] i want log all keystokes on my comptr [13:14] Dolo: you can but you cant have nautilus drawing the desktops so you wont have any desktop icons [13:14] i've got an ftp server but the concern the is the upload speed [13:14] KenBW: to ssh *out* or use an ssh *server*? [13:14] my max upload is 512kb [13:14] LjL: sorry? [13:15] thats kinda lame [13:15] choonming: you'll need to upgrade your connection if its going over WAN [13:15] thank you for all your help [13:15] IntuitiveNipple: but can you "connect" subdomin.domain.com --> to a directory example /var/web1/sub1 [13:15] ? [13:15] have a good day [13:15] KenBW: i mean, if you want to ssh *to* a remove server, then that should work with no need to port forward anything, usually... if you want to use your computer as an ssh server, then that's another story [13:15] dam85: Sure [13:15] LjL: yea, thats what im trying to do - make my PC a server [13:16] Hi there, I am getting the error "RADEON: No matching device section for instance (BusID PCI:4:0:0) found" but I do have a Device Section with this BusID in my xorg.conf .. My only idea is that my "primary" screen is on my secondary slot (4:0:1) but due to how my card works I want the primary slot being used by my TV for optimal output (which is my secondary screen basically) ... Any idea why my device section isn't being found? This is for du [13:16] choonming: well.. ftp, nas and the rest will work.. but it might be slow depending on what you want to do with it [13:16] how remote login to anthr ubuntu system is posible thrgh wifi [13:16] thats my main concern cause 512kb is the max i can get for now. thinking of getting it hosted in datacenter but costly [13:16] dam85: The sub-domains gets its own root web dir in /home/parent.domain/domains/subdomain/ [13:16] arunvkumar the netwrok connection doesn't matter [13:16] KenBW: well, in that case, if your computer can't use any inbound ports, and you can't port forward, that's not easily doable. you can set up a reverse ssh tunnel, then your computer will somehow have to know which IP address the *client* is connecting *from* [13:16] i just want to be able to access my drive at home [13:16] choonming: id look at the datacentre cost vs getting an sdsl line [13:16] Dolo: ah right, I don't have nautilus drawing my desktop. That's probably wmhy [13:16] ok [13:17] good catch ActionParsnip [13:17] LjL: is that way doable? [13:17] can u explain tht [13:17] KenBW: basically, it's the server connecting to the client rather than vice versa, and i'm afraid it's a bit involved anyway. i have one such thing on my server, but i set it up long ago and i'm not quite sure i remember the steps [13:17] i'll take that into consideration [13:17] i dont no to do in any netwrk conctn [13:17] thanks [13:17] I use 4 sides of my cube and wanted to set them up as seprate work spaces with there own wallpaper and icons [13:17] choonming: sdsl is more expensive but has faster uploads (infact upload and download are the same or Symettric) [13:17] KenBW: well, it's doable if it's always the same client connecting, and from always the same IP... [13:17] LjL: Are you thinking of reverse-SSH connections? [13:18] um a dude i work with created a user as a systems user, is there anyway to turn it in to a regular user with out actually deleting it and recreating it>? [13:18] Dolo: id ask in #compiz [13:18] but whenver i flip desktops its the same wallpaper and files, icons etc [13:18] my country is not offering sdsl [13:18] LjL: so i wouldn't be able to spontaneously decide to ssh to it from anywhere - id have to set up the connection first? [13:18] IntuitiveNipple: i am, yes (although my own setup involves a VPN too, though i don't quite remember why) [13:18] IntuitiveNipple: but with webmin o VIRTUALmin ? [13:18] idimmu: remove it from the group admin and sudoer [13:18] i can get max 512kb for adsl lines [13:18] Dolo: let me know if you find anything.. I've only seen hacks where you have to hardcode that stuff.. nothing easy or simple [13:18] IntuitiveNipple: i can to do all the operations via browser? [13:18] ActionParsnip: no he created it with adduser --system [13:18] Hi there, I am getting the error "RADEON: No matching device section for instance (BusID PCI:4:0:0) found" but I do have a Device Section with this BusID in my xorg.conf .. [13:18] therefore my only option is datacenter or find another workaround [13:19] so we cant log in to the box with it [13:19] choonming: id look into sdsl providers, a 4mb up / 4mb down should be decent [13:19] dam85: both; virtualmin installs as a module of webmin [13:19] idimmu: then you need usermod [13:19] ok so via browser is better [13:19] thanks now install it [13:19] KenBW: well, yes and no. my own setup involves crontab entries and a VPN... that way, i'm able to SSH whenever i want, as long as the server was previously set up to try to connect to my IP address (and i can do that remotely by uploading my address to a website, then have to wait some minutes for the crontab entry to pick it up) [13:19] dam85: Yes, everything is managed via HTTPS , the default webmin port being 10000 [13:19] Which channel do ubuntu guys usually hang around in? For fun? (no support and serious stuff) [13:19] good [13:20] nikki_: #ubuntu-offtopic [13:20] LjL: sounds like more effort than its worth :P [13:20] so i have to install before webmin.deb [13:20] and then virtualmin [13:20] right? [13:20] nikki_: this is all i chat on [13:20] ActionParsnip: there isnt sdsl at my place if im not mistaken [13:20] !webmin [13:20] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [13:20] LjL, thanks! :) [13:20] dam85: yes, and you might want to install the virtualmin theme and switch to it too. Read the virtualmin installation guide for more info [13:20] choonming: its a different service alltogether, id look into it, your current provider may be able to get you sdsl [13:20] hopefully [13:20] KenBW: it can be... for me, accessing my server when out of home was pretty important. another possible way could be to use an IPv6 tunnel, i think. then the client would have to be connected to such a tunnel itself too, of course [13:21] thanks for your help ActionParsnip [13:21] choonming: it may be better to have it hosted [13:21] choonming: also they will perform backups too [13:21] KenBW: (or, for that matter, an IPv4 tunnel, but while i'm aware there are open IPv6 tunnels available, i don't know of IPv4 ones) [13:21] LjL: :| [13:21] LjL: pass [13:21] ok [13:22] KenBW: you're positively sure you have no way to port forward anything? [13:22] LjL: the router's loced down and we've lost the password [13:22] locked* [13:23] KenBW: might it support uPnP? [13:23] ... and have it enabled [13:23] dam85: To dispell some of the FUD about webmin on Ubuntu, you might find this interesting: http://www.aigarius.com/blog/2007/12/07/webmin-alternatives/#comment-75218 [13:23] LjL: it might, if i knew what that meant [13:24] KenBW: well, uPnP is a protocol that programs can use to automatically request port forwarding from a router. i think most modern routers support it, but having it enabled is another matter [13:25] so itd be a router setting, not PC [13:25] ? [13:25] please help .... Pidgin is broken,,, [13:25] KenBW: yes, but if that setting is already enabled, then you can use an uPnP client on your PC (not that i'm aware of any that aren't a peer-to-peer program on Linux, but i guess one can be found) to open the wanted port [13:26] zeth-ubuntu: simple quick fix is close all pidgins then mv ~/.purple ~/.purple_old; pidgin & [13:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com [13:26] zeth-ubuntu: let me know if thats any good [13:27] zeth-ubuntu: its basically setting you back to default settings but we are backing up so we lose nothing [13:27] LjL: im not at home atm, so probably not worth looking into this minute. But ill definitely take a look when im back, thanks [13:27] zeth-ubuntu: if its still no good we know its not screwed settings [13:28] hello [13:28] KenBW: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Gateway_Device_Protocol as a starting point [13:28] ActionParsnip : this is the output: zeth@zeth-ubuntu:~$ pidginlibnm_glib_nm_state_cb: dbus returned an error. (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service filesSegmentation fault [13:29] Guys what is the most ubuntu way of installing audio video codecs? Gstreamer? [13:29] KenBW: i think the MiniUPnP that's referenced in that article should work as a client to just request your router to forward ports... it's not packaged in Ubuntu though, so you'll have to compile it [13:29] zeth-ubuntu: did the rename help any? [13:29] can anyone help me how to empty my trash .. im using ubuntu hardy i copied folders from dvd but got but then i deleted it i cant empy trash i got an error that i dont have permissions.. can anyone help me.. ? [13:29] !trash | razel [13:29] razel: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [13:29] !trash | razel === Slart_ is now known as Slart [13:30] !codecs | syslq [13:30] syslq: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [13:30] Hello...I am new to IRC, and I have a question about global network and proxy settings for Ubuntu. I am using both KDE and Gnome. How can I set the global proxy so that all my internet goes through a ssh tunnel that I have? localhost:7070 [13:30] ActionParsnip : nope ... still crashing === Julie is now known as antoine[maison] [13:30] razel: you may need to change permissions on the trash folder [13:30] ubottu thanks [13:30] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [13:31] how do i do that? [13:31] zeth-ubuntu: sudo apt-get --purge remove pidgin; sudo apt-get autoremove; sudo apt-get -y install pidgin [13:31] razel: use sudo to empty the folder if it is populated [13:31] LjL: thanks :D [13:31] Damn this is cool :) [13:31] ok what is the command [13:31] ? [13:32] hello [13:32] how to open lock files [13:32] razel: cd ~/.local/share/Trash; sudo rm -rf * [13:33] wow cool... thanks a lot.. [13:33] :) [13:33] ActionParsnip: prepare for flaming from everyone saying "you shouldnt recommend rm -rf" [13:33] razel: the first part goes where ubottu said trash was, then removed any files [13:34] ActionParsnip: same crash and same output [13:34] KenBW: i made sure he was in the correct folder first, but its not very advisable to use, it does have its place though [13:34] ok, why cant i empty trash manually? do i have to use that command everytime? [13:34] zeth-ubuntu: hmm [13:34] ActionParsnip: If you're going to suggest that you should use && instead of ;, since if for some reason the 'cd' fails it will still run the second command, which will be a Bad Thing™ if its not in a directory you want. [13:34] zeth-ubuntu: can we have a pastebin of the output including the line you use to run pidgin [13:34] ActionParsnip: did you see the output? ... does it tell you anything? === antoine[maison] is now known as Julie [13:35] Pici: oh, ok [13:35] can you connect to http://www.webmin.com ? [13:35] what is -rf command means? [13:35] ActionParsnip: i know, i just know people have a tendency to get anal about it [13:36] razel: recursive, force. [13:36] ActionParsnip: and people will often ignore what you say and just type the two commands separately, often times not caring about output [13:36] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d5e26c5f1 [13:36] caumi22, uhm, the most standard way i know should be to set the http_proxy variable, but i'm not entirely sure how to set it so that it propagates everywhere [13:36] dam85: yes [13:37] zeth-ubuntu: have you recently installed a plugin [13:37] Pici: I see so i have to learn more commands.. i think because other manual commands cant be use.. am i right? [13:37] zeth-ubuntu: say maybe for..banshee? [13:37] ActionParsnip: well I have had Pidgin on this machine since installing Ubuntu .... [13:37] LJL: thanks, but is there a gui way for people that cant do that? I'd like to setup a help page for everyone, n00bs and not. [13:37] zeth-ubuntu: have you added any plugins? [13:37] IntuitiveNipple: is very slow [13:38] dam85: Try http://webmin.alogica.it/ [13:38] ActionParsnip: not that I know of .... === Patyk_ is now known as Patyk [13:38] zeth-ubuntu: hmm [13:38] well thanks guys.. [13:38] zeth-ubuntu: what version of pidgin? [13:38] ActionParsnip: I mean it was working perfectly and then just crashed [13:38] razel: It takes a long time to learn the command, use the man pages if you arent sure of what a command does. i.e.: man rm [13:38] ActionParsnip: well it would be the patest in the Ubuntu repos ... [13:38] hi [13:38] all [13:39] caumi22, well, both GNOME and KDE have proxy settings i believe... in KDE, it's kcontrol -> internet & network -> proxy [13:39] any one who like to buy bike and iphone or samsong omnia i900 pm me pls [13:39] hello [13:39] is there a way to install ubuntu on xfs file system? [13:39] i am a new user of linux ubuntu [13:39] caumi22: (or, using System Settings, Network Settings -> Proxy) [13:39] ActionParsnip: 1:2.4-1ubuntu2.1 [13:40] LjL: yeah, but I've tried that and it doesnt do its job, as programs like firefox ignore those settings [13:40] can anyone tell me where to get info on dual or tri booting with two hard disks? i.e. windowsXP, ubuntu, ubuntu64 [13:40] zeth-ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/209162 [13:40] Launchpad bug 209162 in pidgin "dbus seems to crash on resume after suspend taking networkmanager and pidgin with it" [Undecided,Invalid] === lamur is now known as richnl [13:40] id like to know how can i put a bigger "trash bin" on the desktop [13:40] because the trash icon is very little [13:40] hey everyone i am back [13:40] caumi22: i suspect that firefox ignores anything but its own proxy settings [13:40] IntuitiveNipple: ok, downloaded webmin_1.430_all.deb [13:40] now install it [13:40] zeth-ubuntu: Is dbus running according to `/etc/init.d/dbus status' [13:41] uriol: I think you need to start gnome-conf [13:41] zeth-ubuntu: this may help, it seems common: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?ctype=xml&id=223925 [13:41] LjL: oh that would explain it, its the only one I've tried becasue I thought it would be the most common.... I'll try that and re-ask or not. thanks LjL [13:41] hey guys i have a question: do i need a virus scanner for ubuntu? [13:41] you can select to show the bin on the desktop in there [13:41] zeth-ubuntu: make sure you are fully up to date [13:41] !virus | richnl [13:41] richnl: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [13:41] zeth-ubuntu: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [13:42] ActionParsnip : zeth@zeth-ubuntu:~$ /etc/init.d/dbus statusUsage: /etc/init.d/dbus {start|stop|reload|restart|force-reload} [13:42] caumi22, i believe that, with the KDE proxy settings, you can also set the "environment variables" (i.e. the http_proxy thing that i mentioned) from the interface. that might (might) be a good option [13:42] ActionParsnip: I am always up to date ... :) [13:42] richnl: no [13:42] zeth-ubuntu: restart it just in case [13:42] zeth-ubuntu: you'll need sudo for that [13:42] hi guys... i'm trying to setup the Computer Temperature Monitor 0.9.6.1.... i'm not able set the alarm... how do i set a sound event as alarm? [13:42] uriol: can't you just right click on it and change the size? [13:42] can printer install when i connect with pc in ubuntu ?? [13:42] ActionParsnip: whats the command? [13:43] !xfs [13:43] xfs is a high-performance journaling filesystem originally developped by Silicon Graphics for their IRIX OS. It is now fully supported by Linux so you can install Ubuntu on it if you wish. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS [13:43] it appears on the lower bar [13:43] a little icon [13:43] hello.. [13:43] it is fixed [13:43] uriol... u r telling me? [13:43] newbie for ubuntu here.. [13:44] LjL: good point and deffinetly a "will try". Is there any way I can test to make sure its working for everything, including things like skype and mail? ...apart from the obvious of turning off the tunnel? somehting like a net command to view connections? [13:44] oke thanx guys [13:44] nadz_: hi [13:44] ActionParsnip : ok that knocked me offline ... [13:44] grub fails to install when I install ubuntu on xfs file system [13:44] hello all [13:44] Hi [13:45] and how can i setup my desktop ? you know make it look nice with a clock or something [13:45] How do I write a .img file to a floppy? I believe it's a RaWrite image. [13:45] caumi22: well, i don't think there's a way that spares you from starting all the programs you need and trying them. there is a command to view connections, that's "netstat" (try netstat -np), but i'm not sure that'd help with this [13:45] ActionParsnip : still crashes ... same error [13:45] Jampiter: i believe you can use "dd" for that [13:45] Jampiter, try dd if=filename.img /dev/fd0 [13:46] Jampiter, err dd if=filename.img of=/dev/fd0 [13:46] Thanks LjL and usser :D [13:46] Anyone knows which drivers should be used for an nVidia Geforce FX 5600?

I guess if it lists all connections, then I'll see if any isnt using the tunnel port. If thats the case, problem solved. Thanks a mil [13:48] sometimes my pendrive doesn't mount! what can I do to mount it properly? [13:48] ActionParsnip : is it becasue I am using Wicd instead of Network Manager for gnome? [13:48] LjL: oh, one more thing, might you know the way to leave the tunnel on (by loggin in with the terminal or something) and closing the terminal and the connection stays? [13:48] zeth-ubuntu: possibly [13:48] ActionParsnip : would be strange becasue it was working before with Wicd [13:49] zeth-ubuntu: what did you change before the error? [13:49] uriol: do alt f2 [13:49] ActionParsnip : I don't think I changed anything ... thats the wierd thing about it [13:50] uriol: then type gconf-editor [13:50] caumi22, well, depending on the tunnel software you're using, it might have a "daemonize" option, look at the manual. you might also want to write a proper init.d script to start it at bootup, look at /etc/init.d/skeleton for information on writing one. finally, you can use the quick and dirty solution of typing "screen" and then starting the tunnel [13:50] hi guys... i'm trying to setup the Computer Temperature Monitor 0.9.6.1.... i'm not able set the alarm... how do i set a sound .wav as alarm?

[13:56] Let's say I want to access /foo/bar and bar's permissions allow me to. Does it matter if /foo's permission disallow the access? Do parent directories' permissions play any role in determining access/write rights?

I mean if i have a log file i wanna do something like "cat -flag file" in the way that if something is appended to "file" is appended to the standard output.Thanks [14:34] sriramoman: I think there's one called cut too.. might do what you want [14:34] mkhlnsh: i did that [14:35] mkhlnsh: Go > Templates takes me to my ~/home [14:35] speps: that's what "taif" or "tail -f" is for [14:35] Slart, thank you. i'll check and be back with you if it does the purpose. [14:35] ok. tell me what files do you have on ~/.config [14:35] mkhlnsh: me? [14:35] KenBW, yes [14:35] where is it [14:36] KenBW, there should be at least 2 files... [14:36] mkhlnsh: autostart gtk-2.0 totem Trolltech.conf user-dirs.locale compiz Last.fm tracker user-dirs.dirs xfce4 [14:36] erUSUL: Thanks1 [14:37] mkhlnsh: oh yea, found it [14:37] guys, anyone here? [14:37] camel_: no [14:38] !anyone | camel_ [14:38] camel_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [14:38] hey erUSUL :) [14:38] mkhlnsh: ive set it to "XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/System/Templates"". do i have to restart anything for changes to take effect? [14:38] XD [14:38] KenBW, please, paste the content of user-dirs.dirs and user-dirs.locale on a pastebin so i can fix my folders too. :D [14:39] i have a problem here with ubuntu 8.04 [14:39] What is the problem? [14:39] !ask | camel_ [14:39] camel_: 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. :-) [14:39] a amd-64 pc with nvidia geforce 6606 [14:39] *6600 [14:39] KenBW, it should work without restarting anything. [14:39] ubottu, yea.. i know man [14:39] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:39] mkhlnsh: just to make sure, which file am i supposed to edit [14:39] but i can see anything.. i need the drivers asap [14:40] KenBW, users-dirs.dirs is what you have to edit. [14:40] I want to uninstall evolution but synaptic wants to uninstall gnome-panel too. how do I circumvent this? [14:40] i have 800x600 resolution [14:41] mkhlnsh: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=20700 [14:41] Where would I find the known hosts file for ssh? [14:41] este si k mola [14:41] GleepGlop: does the gnome-panel depend on evolution? [14:41] how can i reset the graphics confiruration? [14:41] Slart: yes, i have no idea why [14:41] is there a command or something? [14:41] Jafet: ~/.ssh/* ? [14:41] I get error "perl: warning: Setting locale failed.", dpkg-reconfigure locales does not work, /etc/locale.gen does not exist; is this the problem? [14:42] erUSUL, ah. [14:42] KenBW, thanks. [14:42] GleepGlop: ah.. I think gnome-panel depends on some service evolution supplies.. not evolution itself [14:43] GleepGlop: uhm, that's unexpected behavior for me. gnome-panel only has evolution (evolution-data-server) as a recommend [14:43] GleepGlop: might be something mail-related.. do you really have to uninstall evolution? [14:43] Slart: oh, i want vanilla gnome not ubuntu-gnome [14:43] Slart: evolution-data-server iirc [14:44] Slart: it need it to put your calendar data (dates and appointments) on the clock/calendar applet. afacs [14:44] afaics* [14:44] I get error "perl: warning: Setting locale failed.", dpkg-reconfigure locales does not work, /etc/locale.gen does not exist; is this the problem? [14:44] erUSUL: but it's just a recommend, not a depend... [14:45] GleepGlop: afaik vanilla-gnome does includes evolution [14:45] if i set my gnome timefield in top bar to show also the weather, what information source it uses? [14:45] erUSUL: I couldn't find a vanilla package in the repos [14:45] or what library is used to gather that infomartion? [14:45] !locales | spikeh [14:45] GleepGlop: hmm.. removing evolution doesn't uninstall gnome-panel for me.. are you on hardy? [14:45] spikeh: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [14:45] LjL: ok; where just my 2 cents ... ;) [14:46] erUSUL: ah.. thanks [14:46] KDE IS the BEST f*** the Rest! [14:46] Slart: yep, hardy, but its the eeebuntu distro [14:46] erUSUL: well, it's the only package that i see might be relevant, still. i knew that recommends are now installed by default, but i didn't think they also forced removal of the depending package when removed [14:46] cbr_: that's not constructive [14:47] hii [14:47] LjL: the original problem is: removing evolution removes gnome-panel too [14:47] !grub [14:47] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [14:47] guys, how i can reset metacity? [14:47] I might go ahead and uninstall and dpkg force install the gnome-panel deb [14:47] i have a doubt can i install xp after installing linux [14:47] erUSUL: i know. and i'm saying, the only link i can see between the two *is* evolution-data-server... but it's a Recommends, so i still don't understand why that would happen [14:48] Why is the same xvid video lower quality on linux than on windows? Gstreamer codes are so bad or what? [14:48] guys, how i can reset metacity? [14:48] amanulla: yes, but XP will probably overwrite your bootloader, and stop you from booting Linux, so you'll have to restore GRUB [14:48] !grub | amanulla [14:48] amanulla: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [14:48] ljl:yes it will [14:48] amanulla: of course, you also need to have (or make space for and create) a partition to put Windows on [14:49] ljl:thats why its better to put install xp then install ubuntu, making partitions [14:49] LjL: how about libedataserver ¿? [14:50] thiebaude: well, the "making partitions" part can be done in the ubuntu installer too [14:50] ljl:exactly [14:50] ljl:that's the easiest way to do a dual boot [14:51] Why does my ubuntu see only 3 gb of memory? [14:52] <_maney> So frequently when I open a MS Word document with OOo (Hardy system), I get these crazy error dialogs about "error loading BASIC of document file:///usr/local/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1.1/share/basic/WebWizard/script.xbl: General Error" What the heck does it think it's doing? [14:52] erUSUL: ... doesn't seem to depend on evolution or evolution-data-server [14:52] genius: it might be because of problems with hardware and the thing that you are using 32bit version [14:52] i am using windows operating system and ubuntu operating system,how to automatically mount one of the windows volume when boot the ubuntu operating system? [14:53] LjL: yep... sometimes the dependencies are really hard to follow [14:53] genius: is 32 bit ubuntu ? [14:53] erUSUL: yes [14:53] edaoman: put it in the fstab [14:53] !fstab | edaoman [14:53] edaoman: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [14:53] edaoman: i think ntfs partitions are mounted automatically to /media/ [14:53] genius: that's a limitatin of the arquitecture. the same happens on windows.... you need 64 bit [14:53] hi everybody [14:53] i [14:54] hi there. how can i login as www-data in from the terminal? [14:54] erUSUL: can i make kernel upgrade and update software w/o reinstall? [14:54] Slart: yeh, if I try and remove evolution-data-server-common, gnome-panel is removed too. I guess I can keep just that. [14:54] mm2000:you trying to get on-line? [14:54] oi [14:54] Which nVidia drver should I use for a GeForce FX 5600 card? I tried 173.14.12 (official, nvidia, and envyng), and 96.43.05 (envyng), but the screen flickers, and I get horizontal artifacts. This doesn't, however, happen with 71.86.04, but then, compiz won't run without xgl, and I can't run TF2 under wine because of lack of pixel shader support. [14:55] thanks for Slart , ubottu , sorsis [14:55] genius: no; maybe the 32 bit server kernel can access all the ram but i'm not sure [14:55] I'm configuring urxvt. In .Xdefaults which should I use URxvt.[resource] or URxvt*[resource] and what is the diference between the two please? [14:55] genius, erUSUL: it's a limitation of the kernel, but you don't necessarily need 64-bit. i believe the Server kernel, for instance, can support more than 3Gb [14:55] : haha. [14:55] anyone? [14:55] is xubuntu the best ubuntu 'flavour' for laptops? [14:56] benzss: Depends on your needs really. [14:56] my laptop isn't particularly quick but it isn't low-end either, and i'm not sure i wnat to inflict the bloated usual ubuntu variant on it [14:56] benzss, what are the specs of your laptop? [14:56] !www-data [14:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about www-data [14:56] benjick, its the best for lower end computers, and anything that isn't much of a powerhouse [14:56] er [14:56] benzss, [14:56] benzss: in my opinion, it mostly depends on the applications you're going to use. if you're going to use full GNOME and/or KDE applications, it makes little sense to use Xfce for performance reasons, since you'll get just about all of the "bloat" anyway [14:57] Which nVidia drver should I use for a GeForce FX 5600 card? I tried 173.14.12 (official, nvidia, and envyng), and 96.43.05 (envyng), but the screen flickers, and I get horizontal artifacts.

[14:57] benzss, if you are a fan of quick response and don't want to have to worry about any bloat, go with it, it's very nice and quick [14:57] benzss: I've had luck using zenwalk and archlinux [14:57] mm2000: don't be, perhaps make yourself a member of the *group* www-data rather [14:57] benzss: Or, use xmonad. I'm using it right now, and it rocks. :P [14:57] oh cool lots of ideas :] [14:57] benzss: on legacy machines :) [14:57] benzss:or you could you a window manager [14:58] : I want to become the user www-data, is that possible? [14:58] hello,I can.t move my soft application interface in the screem!!! [14:58] benzss: Use xmonad, if you're willing to tamper around with configs (but you'll get what you want). [14:58] I want to have exactly the same permissions as it so i can debug a php-script. [14:58] benzss: Use xmonad, if you're willing to tamper around with configs (but you'll get what you want).

[15:00] So i need to enable PAE mode for my kernel. I've done this when i was on windows. [15:00] thiebaude: ye it *should* be fine, but i'm always skeptical. my pc specs aren't much better than this laptop but it performs way better [15:01] thx [15:01] if it's too slow try Xubuntu [15:01] benzss:try fluxbox [15:01] benzss: ymmv on arch but it is a real lean distro, the repos are not as diverse as ubuntu's [15:01] genius: yes, i believe that's the core of the issue. installing the server kernel will enable that for you, however i suppose the server kernel might have other slight drawbacks for a desktop, possibly [15:01] !fluxbox [15:01] fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux.

[16:46] sugi: By default the shell PATH *does not* include the current directory (unlike Windows).

Beoyond that, though, I am not sure. [18:11] thanks hwilde , Ooble Does this mean there is no solution? [18:12] I've just read the bug comments, but it seems that way Lava. [18:12] bobertdos, for example, I had an application in the name of zoneminder which is no more in my system. However, the boot sequence text shows that it is trying to load zoneminder and reports an error. I want to edit this procedure of booting. [18:12] anyone using kvm + libvirt in here? if so, how did you do file sharing between the host and it's guests? [18:13] Ooble, damnit, isn't there any other solution around it? this really should get fixed [18:13] Lava, delete everything and reinstall [18:13] Lava, stop browsing things you are ashamed to hve in your history [18:13] ksbalaji: unless of course some of these entries are modules, in which case you'd want to unload them [18:13] hwilde, ive tried that, but it doesnt work [18:13] bobertdos, yep - there you are! How to remove services from startup? How to edit RC init scripts? Pl tell [18:13] It could be possible to edit the sqlite directly. [18:13] hwilde, cant seem to be able to delete [18:13] Lava, eh?

[18:21] bakkalohriat: If you're asking about Debian, you should try #debian. #Ubuntu is only for Ubuntu support.

[18:21] ah, right [18:21] ironfoot_495: If you type about:plugins into Firefox, do you see it? [18:21] thx hwilde ! bye [18:21] I just like the clean interface, and was wondering if there was a package name or code source I could install it from [18:21] so, ubuntu should automatically load the right driver [18:21] Lava, yep [18:22] bobertdos: wait one [18:22] hi! I recently heard about an ubuntu based distribution with all codecs and videostuff that you need to install manually in ubuntu included - can anybody help me out please? - I dont remember the name [18:22] bakkalohriat: Are you running Debian or Ubuntu? [18:22] justshams: is this a laptop with an external monitor? [18:22] zagibu:that aint happening.. then y am i not able to enable desktop effects or other related grafix options like monitor resolution?? [18:22] Pici: Right now, Debian with a basic install of Gnome. [18:22] no no.. its a desktop [18:22] aimtrainer: are you talking about the medibuntu repositories?

[18:23] anybody uses veoh? [18:23] bakkalohriat: Then you'll need to ask in #debian about it, our package repositories differ. [18:23] justshams: was another monitor connected when you installed, or did it install like this? [18:23] Pici: Alright, thanks anyway [18:23] justshams: do you have a clean install of ubuntu now, or is it already broken because you messed with it? [18:23] Hello, I have a problem with my Athreos AR5007EG wifi on asus f5n. I have ubuntu 8.04. Can anybody help me? [18:23] zaggy-nl, no its actually just an altered ubuntu version with codecs and stuff included [18:23] shepherd whats ur purpose of upgrade [18:23] shepherd: not harmful. I did it before [18:23] it installed like thins.. no other monitor connected.. for info.. i am usung hte HDMI port to connect my monitor to the mobo [18:24] aimtrainer, HIGHLIGHT REVENGE [18:24] Hi folks, here's my problem: I just stomped over my partition table on the primary HDD (dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda, so it's beyond salvaging). I am getting correct block partition start/count information from the kernel in /proc/partitions. I'd like to restore my partition table. The question I now have is this: partitions do not seem to start on sector boundaries (which is 255*63=16065 blocks); how can I force fdisk, or [18:24] ^^ [18:24] justshams: open terminal and type sudo displayconfig-gtk [18:24] aimtrainer: I believe you're referring to Easybuntu, but you know what? It's not supported anymore, so if you want to use it, you're on your own. [18:24] see if u can change resolution:D [18:24] justshams: what kind of monitor is it? I had LOTS of trouble with intel driver and HDMI, but it turned out to be the monitor [18:25] bobertdos, no its not that [18:25] Ill tell you if I found out [18:25] its a DELL WIDE SCREEN LCD [18:25] with web cam integrated [18:25] bye everyone :) [18:26] aimtrainer: were you talking about Mint Ubuntu (now Mint Linux)? [18:26] Hi -- i mounted a jumpdrive (mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /media/jumpdrive -o rw) but i cannot create any files or anything on it unless i use sudo [18:26] otherwise i get permissions errors.. but the directory is chmod 777 [18:26] ideas? [18:26] displayconfig-gtk [18:26] carandraug, exactly that s it [18:26] i did taht [18:26] Do you have any experience with it? [18:26] i got a window shalli change the appropriate options? [18:26] migm2: the directory is 777? Shouldn't you make it -R 777? [18:26] migm2, check /etc/fstab, maybe the filesystem is mounted so that users can't access it [18:27] is it any different from ubuntu except for the codec thing? [18:27] aimtrainer: no, just heard about it. [18:27] though that should be visible in permissions [18:27] rilak: its not in fstab, i manually mounted it [18:27] ok thanks! [18:27] aimtrainer: it does use the same repos [18:27] migm2: ah sorry [18:27] carandraug: thats correct, it is chmod -R 777 [18:27] i'm stumped on this one [18:27] any other ideas? [18:27] migm2: so /media/jumpdrive is 777? [18:27] rilak: correct [18:27] migm2: what are the files' permissions inside it? [18:27] migm2: the content of the drive [18:27] aimtrainer: but even on that I'm not sure. You better check their website oor IRC channel [18:27] its a brand new drive [18:28] aha [18:28] nothing is in it besides the new file i just created with sudo [18:28] migm2: is the partition ext3? You can't do that 777 thing in ntfs partitions [18:28] its vfat [18:28] did changes [18:28] will restart and be back [18:28] :) [18:29] justshams: cool [18:29] migm2, thy this just for kicks: mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /media/jumpdrive -o rw,user,remount [18:29] bobertdos: I've downloaded the install_flash_player_9_linux where do I put it [18:29] rilak: okay, hang on [18:29] ? [18:29] justshams: you can put Option "ModeDebug" "true" to your device section in xorg.conf, then hit ctrl alt and backspace, and finally check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for hints [18:29] anyone tell me how i can install a file from an iso without burning it to disc? [18:29] milostrife: sudo mount FILE /mnt -o loop [18:29] migm2: I'm not sure if fat partitions would also take care of permissions the same way ext3 [18:30] ironfoot_495: Before I answer that, we need to know if Firefox detects flash at all. Is it listed in about:plugins? [18:30] is really noone using kvm for virtualization here? [18:30] rilak, does that work if it's on an external hard drive [18:30] carandraug: this can't be the first time someone has mounted a vfat jumpdrive [18:30] milostrife, if the external drive is mounted and you can read the file, yes [18:30] mount: /media/jumpdrive not mounted already, or bad option [18:30] it is not mounted already [18:30] Hi all [18:30] so bad option [18:30] bobertdos: I don't know I guess I'll go and look b back. [18:30] allright. i don't know further. i still try to install the m-audio delta1010 on hardy. i hardly get any sound to the external soundcard. does anyone have any experience?

That's what's supposed to happen normally. [18:43] i should be able to format it however i want [18:43] Hi! Can some one help with installation of Ubuntu? :) [18:43] should i make a blank partition first and then install ubuntu === Adam is now known as Guest44221 [18:44] migm2: yes. The partition table is a mess. Try format it if you can [18:44] or will the partitioner have the ability to shrink windows ntfs partitioan there is? [18:44] Geboy: Yeah, that's usually the best way to do it. [18:44] gotta go, later [18:44] MOzartstaedter: what exactly happens? [18:44] hello does someone know how to wake up a sleeping process in ubuntu? [18:44] Geboy: The partitioner can resize too, it's up to you which way to go :) [18:44] grindhold: fg [18:45] Hello. Is there someone who will help me to install Ubuntu? :) [18:45] Vlet: what? [18:45] Geboy: I would leave a blank partition. It's the safest way [18:45] Vlet: i'm serious :D === Guest44221 is now known as Adam [18:45] Guest44221: what's your problem? [18:45] !install > Guest60681 [18:45] Guest60681, please see my private message [18:45] bobertdos: which one is easier? coz i'm affraid using the fdisk to partition my windows [18:45] hihi [18:45] grindhold: so am I. perhaps you should better explain what you want to do. === Adam is now known as Guest17945 [18:45] sorry, i really wanna try the ubuntu desktop, but am a complete noob [18:45] I can't start from my cd :( [18:46] Geboy: As carandraug said, blank partitions are safer. Resizing can be risky. [18:46] Vlet: friend of mine run a renderer since 10 pm yesterday and now it is listed as "sleeping" in the processlist. how may he wake it up? [18:46] Guest17945: you may need to go into your computers' BIOS to enable booting from CD [18:46] Geboy, fdisk isn't really the tool to resize partitions - if that's what you are after [18:46] Vlet: is there any SIG that will help? [18:46] Okay [18:46] How to? [18:46] Guest17945: how did you make the cd? [18:46] ok, thanks alot guys. giving me a good insight. i'll be leaving now installing ubuntu. c u in an hour or so... [18:47] again thanks [18:47] I burn it with... [18:47] grindhold, SIGCONT perhaps? [18:47] Geboy: The LiveCD comes with the disk partitioner (gparted). That's much easier to use. [18:47] unop: ill try [18:48] I burn it with NTI CD&DVD-Maker Gold [18:48] Guest17945: it depends on the computer. Try pressing F2 on boot. This should take you to the BIOS menu. Move around until you see boot order and place CD first [18:48] Guest17945: as an image, or did you unpack the files?= [18:49] I jusk click on the iso-file on my desktop, then the buring program startet [18:49] Guest17945: ok [18:49] (Sorry the bad english= [18:49] )* [18:49] Okay... i will try it. Thanks for the help :) [18:49] Guest17945: it's ok. do you have the manual for your machine [18:50] Guest17945: it will tell you how to get to the bios [18:50] Okay [18:50] Bye [18:50] Guest17945: in some new computers you can just press a button on boot, that taes you to a menu to select where to drive from with no need to configure BIOS. (it's usually F8) [18:51] hi there. Any way I can upgrade to the latest version of Ubuntu without leaving text-only mode?

[18:51] msikma: you need to edit your source.list [18:51] hi i did some experimenting with displayconfig-gtk.. i have my monitor in the list(DELL>SP2008wfp).. but not my chipset(G35) [18:51] krazy-h_1: Which one did you install?

[18:54] carandraug: what is wubi? [18:55] how do I close X so I can install nvidia drivers [18:55] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [18:55] !nvidia | frederick85 [18:55] frederick85: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [18:55] MOzartstaedter: did you boot from CD to install Ubuntu or did you just inserted the Ubuntu CD when you were in Vista and followed a nice menu inside Vista?

Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [18:56] Ctrl Alt F2 to close X and then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [18:56] or you could get Envy, i think that works for Ubuntu [18:56] carandraug: no, i really installed it [18:56] wasn't it Ctrl Alt Backspace? [18:57] or does F2 kill? [18:57] not restart [18:57] i believe F2 is kill and Backspace is restart [18:57] maniheer: F2 takes you to tty2 but doesn't change anything on X [18:57] hi carandraug :D [18:57] maniheer: hi [18:58] right, not kill per se [18:58] thats for sudo /etc/init,d/gdm stop [18:58] . * [18:58] MOzartstaedter: well, you can boot from LiveCD, and get rid of the extra installation [18:58] thank zewm [18:58] krazy-h_1: and the java command is recognized, yes?

[19:00] carandraug: and how could i get rid of the extra installation? what should i do there??? [19:00] woow i'm off [19:00] :D [19:00] MOzartstaedter: the extra ubuntu install I take it's on a separate partition. Or did you made the second install on top of the pther?

[19:02] msikma: you misunderstood me, I dont have any lamp for now, how do I set lamp from scratch? :) Thanks [19:03] MOzartstaedter: erase the partition where the extra Ubuntu resides. You may need to fix GRUB too [19:03] my problem that when i go to youtube or any website i can't hear the sound how i can fix it ? [19:03] In that case, just get the packages you need, skwo. for example... [19:03] sudo apt-get install apache2 [19:03] !grub > carandraug [19:03] carandraug, please see my private message [19:03] that will install apache [19:03] hanoi: sudo apt-get install libflashsupport (in the terminal) [19:03] sudo apt-get install php5 [19:03] hanoi do you get sound in other apps, like the media player? [19:04] msikma: oh ok, and they will be installed as local services right? and wont be accessible from outside of my pc? [19:04] skwo: they are capable of serving people from the outside world, but only if they're allowed. [19:04] What do I need to install on ubuntu server to be able to "startx" with a minimal X? I tried xserver-xorg + xinit but I have a FontPath error [19:04] msikma: Oh ok thanks :) [19:04] skwo: they will not be able to do this normally if the ports you use (e.g. port 80 for Apache) are closed [19:05] skwo: 'sudo tasksel install lamp-server' is my preferred way to set everything up [19:05] MOzartstaedter: to repair the GRUB, follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and good luck [19:05] oops........ upgrade failed.

Just one more question, as I know they would start running as OS boots, is there a way to run them only manually when I need? [19:06] that was to msikma [19:06] guitargod: you can edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file [19:06] guitargod: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list, comment out the CD line [19:06] GoddamnDevil: thanks :) [19:06] what aptitude/apt-get command can I use to display what programs are dependent of a package? [19:06] skwo: yes, you can use 'update-rc.d' to remove them from autostarting, then just start as needed [19:06] MOzartstaedter: on those instructions, there's a step "grub> root (hd0,1)". You don't use hd0,1 , you should use whatever the previous command spits out to you [19:06] sorry im a windows mac user...im not to familiar with linux..i can enter that command but i have no idea why [19:06] ejer: Thanks [19:07] hi [19:07] pasteeater: apt-cache with rdepends [19:07] pasteeater: apt-cache show [package] and apt-cache showpkg [package] will both give you that info [19:07] er, wait [19:07] guitargod: Applications > Acessories > Terminal [19:07] guitargod: system>admin>software sources untick CDROM [19:07] guitargod: "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" will bring up an editor, and in the file you will see a reference to your CD.

[19:11] guitargod: you should see your CD somewhere. Prefix the lines with a # [19:11] carandraug: to remove the line that references the edgy cd [19:11] This will ensure that Ubuntu will no longer ask for the CD. [19:11] gotgenes: yes. Is it... hdparm -I ? I don't remember [19:11] lwizardl: no idea. You should take care of that problem then [19:11] instead, it will rely on its online sources [19:11] im trying to update my whole computer....im running an older verion of ubuntu........but it asks for the breezy cd when i try to update to *.04 or whatever [19:11] need help about ssh, i'm logged in on a remote computer useing ssh, how do i copy a file on the remote machine to local aka the machine i'm on [19:11] carandraug, how [19:11] ?

[19:12] xmagixx: it is a seperate program, you open a new connection scp username@host:/yourfile /whereyouwanttoputit [19:13] lwizardl: I said I had no idea. I don't have a burner for almost 1 year now so I don't use it. Ask for it instead of looking for other burning aplications [19:13] can i still update without the cd....i tried yesterday..downloaded all 1300 packages..but at the end..needed the cd.. [19:13] guitargod: You're not listening. We've told you many times, today and yesterday, you don't need the CD, you just need to edit that file. Are you unsure as to what to edit? or what? [19:13] guitargod: yep it will work once you take out line about CD, and it will reuse packages already downloaded [19:13] yes flannell..sorry..im not very good with linux i told know how to do thgat [19:13] Flannel, erUSUL: checking [19:14] ejer: ahh okey, well that syntex you gave is from me to the remote ? what is the command to copy from remote to me ? [19:14] guitargod: We've been walking you through it. Please listen. [19:14] guitargod: Do you still have that terminal with the editor open? [19:14] !scp | xmagixx [19:14] xmagixx: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [19:14] guitargod: on that file, there's an entry about the CD. You just need to add # at the begining and then save it [19:14] yes i do have it open [19:14] xmagixx: scp SOURCE TARGET, both can be eithe rlocal or remote [19:15] skwo: It is the new Gnome Virtual File System. It's still a little green, but eventually it's going to be fully integrated into the OS. [19:15] Flannel: wasn't a graphical text editor on breezy for guitargod ? [19:15] guitargod: alright, in that file, you'll see a line that looks something like this: deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051030)]/ dapper main restricted [19:15] why don't you guys tell newbies the GUI way of doing these things, we don't need to use terminal for everything :) [19:15] bobertdos: is it ok that I have about 7-9 gvfsd-* processes running?

[19:45] _2: so what's the problem? :) [19:45] shepherd, add more punctuation [19:45] _2: there might be (and there is) plenty of ways to harden a system, not by just renaming root account [19:45] pasteeater: that is quite unnecessary.

[19:55] cool. By the way, I used clonezilla live CD and ddrescue to pull the data off and onto another disk. then i did fsck onto the second disk, and bam, a near 100% perfect restoration!

[19:56] cjoudrey: try Gparted [19:56] <_2> Berto fdisk -l [19:56] Berto 512 or 4096 will do [19:56] o kthx [19:56] nottt goood [19:57] <_2> ShinobiTeno 512 will take four times as long if the real size is 4096 tho [19:57] now everything is little squares! ahh [19:57] _2: no. messed it. no difference [19:57] Hello again. I have burned the ISO file to my CD, but I can not start from the [19:57] the clusters are 512. Thanks guys!! [19:57] Berto: yes, they are.

The problem is on xampp system files [19:59] how can I do that Ali_ix [19:59] ? [19:59] rom1v: in synaptic you can check 'remove package completely' to remove all presence of it! [20:00] Berto use 4096 or 512. it doesnt matter really. Larger value leads to bigger blocks per transaction. Some reported it is faster. Doesnt matter actually. [20:00] ok (and with apt-get)? [20:00] Berto you can do 1024 or 2048 as well. [20:00] <_2> Berto might suggest that you try it both ways and time it. seeing that you are only wanting to overwrite data anyway. and overwriting more than one time strengthens the affect. [20:00] <_2> Berto then you'll know :) [20:01] Berto, you can also try /dev/random. But its much slower [20:01] rom1v: apt-get purge ... ? [20:01] _2, haha thanks!

[20:19] (rough guestimate [20:19] ) [20:20] maniheer: It depends on the package, but it could be a lot. [20:20] erUSUL, its a tar.gz extracted it cd to within the folder and just ran hacketyhack [20:20] Pici, amanulla will have to install them in the right order aswell, amanulla is new to ubuntu [20:21] maniheer: download 3000 .debs means? [20:21] maniheer: I think gdebi and dpkg will actually take care of the order if you open multiple .debs at the same time. [20:21] <_2> maniheer i only have 2000 installed and i have 9 desktop environments ? [20:21] erUSUL, this is the site http://hacketyhack.net/get/ they have a ubutnu howto bit but its 404 =( [20:21] erUSUL: backports are stable, right? i mean, the app itself is the stable release, not that it would mess my distro up or not...

[20:23] pici, no order problem then [20:23] but there is still the multiple .deb files [20:23] Joshooa: sorry, wrong quote [20:23] maniheer: Theres no getting over that.

[20:24] maniheer: actually .debs >= .msi :) [20:24] just now i installed wine successfully how can i use that to run xp applications? [20:24] Ali_ix, .pkg.tar.gz > .deb :D [20:24] Joshooa: what is your wireless problem then? === macd_ is now known as macd [20:25] amanulla: just like u do in windows [20:25] I've been trying to install vnc4server for a while now, but I'm encountering the same problem over and over again.

Webcam?

[20:29] amanulla: that are compatible with the yahoo messenger platform. Pidgin is an excellent example [20:30] ubuntu sucks, i'm going back to windows [20:30] Ali_ix:do i need to get .msi file for Y! messenger wont .exe(for Y! messenger wont work here) [20:30] !pidgin | amanulla [20:30] amanulla: The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others.

Of course SOMETIMES you need to reboot, but rebooting for errors is a WINDOWS thing [20:45] and osx [20:45] what is a program in ubuntu that you can mount an iso image with? instead of using termianl? [20:45] !sudo | RawkFish [20:45] RawkFish: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

You ignore it and start from scratch, which leaves the problem to arise again possibly. Again, that's like a windows philosiphy, ignorance is bliss. Personally, I like to know what my computer does and why and not be left in the dark cause something breaks again, but that's just me. [20:47] Hello! I lost automount of cd/dvd. Can anyone help?

[20:51] maniheer: Is it ever going to really cause a problem you think? I don't mind it if it works, and I will surely reformat this laptop sooner or later (not my main comp so no data loss concerns) but, it's weird [20:51] it should be a binary [20:51] lanoxx: check readme file in compressed package [20:51] DubAndy: I did.

[20:55] lanoxx: install the debs (double click on them) [20:55] its a C/C++ IDE [20:55] dforsyth: You could cut and paste xmodmap -e 'keysym semicolon = space' and then use semicolon for space. [20:55] i can double click them? [20:55] okayilltrythat [20:55] zoopster, no error it just opens up the program and nothing plays [20:55] dforsythe, you can just copy a space someone else has [20:55] lanoxx, sudo dpkg -i libwxsmithlib0_8.02_amd64.deb codeblocks_8.02_amd64.deb [20:55] and paste it between every word [20:56] maniheer, thats more like it [20:56] lets see [20:56] lanoxx: Extract them and run each one with sudo dpkg -i to install them globally.

[21:08] r00tintheb0x: why? [21:08] maniheer, any idea? [21:08] icewaterman: i dont know mate, sorry [21:08] i am not that good in programming [21:08] search synaptic for libwx_gtk2 lanoxx [21:09] jim_p: i actually know how to do it (with head and tail) but thats kinda crappy [21:09] maybe do an aptitude search libwx_gtk2 lanoxx , that also helps sometimes [21:10] jim_p: I've seen something like that before but it's been a while. I do believe it's possible although kinda tricky [21:10] I really dont understand why GUI programms dont spawn a msg bock with the error message they terminate with, if i just ran codeblocks from the gui it would keep loading for 30sec. and then just terminate without any error [21:10] Joshooa: with devilspie? [21:10] where if i run it on console i get the error message that helps me [21:11] jim_p: I believe so yes [21:11] this is really a ballbreaker for people that are not able to work with the CLI [21:11] Joshooa: i was looking for a gnome "feature" but ok [21:12] lanoxx, people who can't work with the CLI can't fix the error if it isn't handled by the software, as a general rule; they can, and should, blame the software for it :) [21:12] jim_p: I remember doing this a while ago, but, it's been quite a while. Yeah I was as well, I don't think i ever found one [21:12] lanoxx, CLI ftw [21:13] :D [21:13] Joshooa: ok thanks [21:13] maniheer, i share your oppinion, but its not user friendly because not everyone can use the console [21:13] and if the program just terminates they have no way of knowing whats the problem [21:13] hi all, I have a created an encrypted usb stick partition with no problems. Now when I plug in my usb stick a gnome dialog appears asking whether I want to decrypt the partition. And it decrypts successfully when I enter the passphrase. Problem is the partition is created with root:root permissions. HWhere should I edit for ubuntu to mount it with mounting user's ownership? [21:13] I installed Ubuntu server, and I want to access the server as user www-data. How do I find out what the password is for www-data? [21:14] MrKennie, maybe in fstab? [21:14] I need text/html;charset=utf-8 [21:14] to watch a video how do I get that [21:14] TJ-42: www-data is a group, not a user === cybrside_ is now known as cybrside [21:15] lanoxx: It kind of traces back to Linux's origins. Using Unix based OS's (besides the Mac OS) for general desktop use is kind of a new concept, and not something Unix was originally designed to do. Hence a lot of the X and other GUI implementations exist as afterthoughts, you could say.

[21:15] TJ-42: you should not login as www-data. it's the user for Apache [21:16] TJ-42: it's a security user only, so Apache has access to its files [21:16] bobertdos, sure, and that is good, but the program, or the window system or what ever is responsible should be able to spawn an error message [21:16] !intrepid | za119 [21:16] za119: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October!

[21:18] can I downgrade? [21:18] cuz no one is helping me in that room [21:19] can I download with psft recursively all files and directories? [21:19] i can't see movies downloaded from miro === sad`panda is now known as Sad`Panda [21:20] za119: You certainly can if you have a disc or some other means of installation, because as far as I know, there's no downgrade command. Of course, you'd only be running Hardy for about a month longer now. [21:20] hi all [21:20] chamuscas: what kinds of movies are they? [21:20] hiya [21:21] oh at last I have a nice IRC client [21:21] newbie to ubuntu [21:21] each person has their own colour, and stupid leave/join messages are filtered [21:22] where is every body in the world then [21:22] bobertdos, lol hello again :), it's a movie from discovery channel, but i guess that's not the problem! i only can run miro through the [21:23] lanoxx: Okay, valid point :) You know, that would be something to suggest to the developer community, I guess. The problem, as you probably know, is that there's often more than one error with Unix programs :D [21:23] bobertdos, sry through the console because i can't find it in application [21:24] what's a good program that is movie maker like?

If I run a sudo lshw -C network command it sees it as an Attansic card. In Windows, it's seen as an Atheros card [21:29] X Server crashes every time I enable the NVIDIA Card [21:30] bobertdos, can't find miro's symbol on the list, how do i found the miro's brunch ?

[22:03] Hello, I added a new card (eth1) which I want to be the new primary interface, but everything is still trying to use eth0. How can i change that behavior? [22:04] Edit rc.conf? [22:04] Or however you guys called the global conf item. [22:04] I guess it'd be init.5 or so in ubuntu ? [22:05] Ah, well, care, see you guys in some other channel, I'm going to enjoy a small game.

[22:08] Hello can anyone tell me if there is a distro as well made as ubuntu but has downloadable DVD repositories?Or does ubuntu have there repository DVD images posted somewhere I dont know of? [22:08] guitargod: sorry, sorry [22:09] Mark_Jones: the repositories are so large they would not fit on a DVD [22:09] sometimes you must a website for certain repos [22:09] Yes I know there large I have about 30GB of them downloaded and tried using APTonCD but it just didnt work out. [22:10] Mark, what are you trying to do exactly? [22:10] willluongo: You can comment out eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces or I think you can use the network manager to deactivate eth0 too. More than one way to accomplish it I think. [22:10] friggg [22:10] guys, I'm having some issues with SSHFS. It will let me edit a mounted file once, successfully. It then refuses to let me edit it again - the first save appears to break the permissions. Any suggestions? [22:10] youtube works now....but no sound!! any suggestions [22:10] ? [22:10] guitargod: You need libflashsupport [22:10] guitargod did you install restricted extras? and all gstreamers? [22:10] Daft_Punk hey man [22:11] guitargod: do you have sound anywhere else? [22:11] bobert...i think when i went to ownload flashplayer-nonfree that was downloaded with it as a package needed... [22:11] i dont know if i did mark... [22:11] guitargod: does the other sound work? [22:11] guitargod: Well, just double check. [22:12] Hey I am having problems with my video and xorg. I have a laptop, it uses UniChrome Pro graphics. Before I was at 800x600, and now that I FINALLY get the drivers to work, I get a higher prettier resolution, but the monitor wont show my whole screen, just the top left part of it.can't see clock or log off or notification area or any of the bottom bar. Screen Resolution will now allow me to change, but when I choose other resolutions noth [22:12] is it possible to mount a 500 g drive in a ubuntu server, and have it appear in "my computer" with assigned drive letter in a windows server 2003 ? [22:12] i have nothing on this computer to check if sound works lol [22:12] Daft_Punk u there ? === danielb is now known as Guest76574 [22:13] guitargod: I message people if I need too, does the ba-dunk noise [22:13] guitargod: If Hardy is intact, you can test in System->Preferences->Sound [22:13] Anybody good with video resolution problem!? Please I need help, I'm getting closer but still not 100% working [22:13] techsupport: samba and network drives. [22:14] Hey guys, are there any good HTML editors for Linux? [22:14] !html | ryknow [22:14] ryknow: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [22:14] ryknow: that's a trap! [22:14] no sounds works i tested it [22:14] ryknow: Bluefish I think is a real nice one [22:14] ryknow: emacs? [22:15] ryknow: just joking === Guest60681 is now known as RichiH [22:15] I have dreamweaver...but ehh...I can't get the Key to work with Linix for one reason or another. [22:15] guitargod: *sigh* This is why I don't do direct upgrades.....:p [22:15] linux* [22:15] Å: Cannot access the lock-file on /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [22:15] what's the problem? [22:15] ne_tru_e: You already have a package manager running somewhere. [22:15] comicinker, any more detals on that ? [22:15] ne_tru_e: an update manager is running [22:15] lol well atleast i can watch video now....lol...okay is libflashplayersupport in synaptic? [22:15] i can't install any program because of this [22:16] guitargod: sudo aptitude install libflashplayersupport [22:16] guitargod: Yes, but if the rest of your sound isn't working, that's not going to help you. Try switching stuff over to ALSA. [22:16] Does Bluefish allow you to view your "page" as you make it? [22:16] I mean...is it pretty much like dreamweaver? [22:16] ryknow: no [22:17] i would swuitch it.....but i dont know what also is or how to do but ill have a look [22:17] !sound | guitargod [22:17] guitargod: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [22:17] I know nothing about web design...Just starting to look into it. Thought it might be a fun challenge. [22:17] guitargod you can change it in the sonds option form your main menu [22:17] techsupport: it's trappy to ask what is a good editor in a Linux channel, because there are loads, loads of them available ;) [22:17] thanks, this canal rulez :) [22:17] ryknow: There isn't anything I'm aware of that's quite as powerful as Dreamweaver (in terms of open-source), but you might like Nvu [22:18] *channel [22:18] ryknow: best thing to do is to start with a basic editor [22:18] comicinker, . ? [22:18] comicinker: you mean ryknow [22:18] <[T]ank> is there a good program out there for accounting and invoicing? I am picturing something comparable to quickbooks pro [22:18] yes [22:18] Is there any advice on fine tunning ubuntu to get smoother laptop performance? Any link would do, I'm not sure what on the net is bullshit and what isnt [22:19] syslq: what kind of thing do you need? [22:19] Hi, what are the best trademarks that are best compatible with ubuntu ? [22:19] ryknow, -> design first (including accessibility, usability, findability, retrocompatibility, use of non intrusive client scripts notions), then code, and you'll rockz [22:19] compiz to run smoothly ! :P [22:19] The screens shots of Nvu look decent. [22:19] compiz at normal settings [22:20] ryknow, Nvu is same as Dreamweaver : it will never be worth a notepad. [22:20] BCM34 I'd like to get decent speed with entire desktop enviroment (gnome) on athlon xp 2000+, 1gb of ram, it runs a bit slow now [22:20] I might try that. I'm just looking for fairly easy to use...something that will allow me to preview the page, and something with enough tools to allow for a decent looking site. [22:20] ryknow: you can also use gimp as a website designer [22:20] syslq: that is strange, not sure what you could tweak, what do you mean a bit slow? === graham is now known as gray-- [22:20] sudo aptitude install libflashplayersupport package was not found it found something else and removed it tho lol [22:20] syslq: I use xubuntu for that very reason [22:21] those things dont "design" websites. they create html-like-sometimesreadablebygraphicbrowser-documents. === nostferka is now known as nostferka^ [22:21] ryknow: but not as content manager, just for layouts. === nostferka^ is now known as nostferka [22:21] <[T]ank> anyone know of a good app for accounting and billing like quickbooks? [22:21] guitargod: no, no, just libflashsupport [22:21] leslieviljoen whats the diff between vanilla and xubuntu ? [22:21] Yeah, I need something to help with the layout. [22:21] syslq: XFCE is fast fast fast [22:21] guitargod: not libflashplayersupport [22:21] I know zero HTML code. [22:21] #6D5D57 [22:21] woops [22:21] Som I need something to help me with that end of things. [22:21] B3z3rk3r: xubuntu uses XFCE instead of Gnome [22:22] BCM34 well I think I should switch to xfce4 like leslieviljoen said, well I guess ubuntu 8.x is optimised for new hardware core 2 duo etc [22:22] i cannot test my sound in "alsa" because audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application. [22:22] leslieviljoen yeah I'll do that thanks [22:22] ryknow: I can recommend you a cms system like cmsms for that kind of task [22:22] B3z3rk3r: XFCE's whole focus is efficiency [22:22] finally figured it out :). I put in a tex-info by source at somepoint which installed a new install-info and for whatever reason I had /usr/local/bin before /usr/sbin in PATH :) [22:22] [T]ank, thats one thing that is missing from linux in general, a good accounting app like quickbooks [22:22] two days lost work over crap :( [22:22] How can I upgrade vlc to 0.9.3 short of compiling from source? [22:22] guitargod: close the other programs you have running [22:23] <[T]ank> csilk: there has to be something........ however quality is usually what is missing. ;-) [22:23] i only have this and pidgeon messenger but ok [22:23] csilk: sql ledger is apparently quite good if you need double-entry [22:23] guitargod: Pidgin could possibly have control of Alsa, it shouldn't, but it might. [22:24] What's the access point name for Australian Virgin Broadband with 3G modems? [22:24] csilk: otherwise gnucash is probably the closest you'll get to quickbooks [22:24] exi [22:24] Is there a .deb of VLC 0.9.3 around? [22:24] The one in Ubuntu Hardy is old. [22:25] anyone have info on ubuntu-eee? [22:25] ckyle22: You could probably download one straight from VideoLAN's website [22:25] hello all [22:25] i cant sudo when i login from ssh to my box [22:25] What's the access point name for Australian Virgin Broadband with 3G modems? [22:25] Doc: No, only source [22:25] And I can't compile [22:25] Rewt, what are u wanting to know ? [22:25] why is this? [22:25] how do I see the name of the driver my audio device is using? [22:25] who needed quick books alt.? [22:25] iceman`afk, you need to be in /etc/sudoers [22:25] Ckyle22: Why can't you compile? [22:25] if it will support my evdo card [22:25] CKyle22; ./configure make make install how hard is thatA? [22:25] oh i see thanks simNIX [22:25] i'm at college and me and my roommate have only one ethernet port. Tech Services said we couldn't use a router but hinted that we could convert our router into an ethernet splitter but then refused to tell us. Anyone know how to convert a router into ethernet splitter? [22:26] dekushrub: just turn of wireless [22:26] bastid_raZor: it cant find the mpeg audio decoder [22:26] (at the bootom) [22:26] anyone hwere familiar with quanta+? [22:26] even though I have it [22:26] Rewt can help u with that one im afraid, but u should check out the ubuntu forums [22:26] I dont know where Ubuntu has it installed by default [22:26] and i recall seing a eee-specific forum somewhere on the net too [22:26] dekushrub: Connect an ADSL splitter to it? [22:26] but i know its there bcause dpkg says i have it [22:26] CKyle22; sudo apt-get build-dep vlc ;then try [22:26] Doc|Mib: Last I checked, VideoLan didn't even have a dependencies list ready, which makes compiling difficult. Plus, I doubt Hardy even has all the libraries necessary for the new version. [22:27] bcm34, i did turn off wireless but there still isn't internets coming through the wire [22:27] Doc|Mib i don't want to go buy a splitter but that is an option [22:27] CKyle22; what bobertdos said. [22:27] BCM34 just one question more, what's the utility for setting up wireless transmission strength in ubuntu? Thanks [22:27] dekushrub: lol, it should work, no idea what is wrong [22:27] dekushrub, or just go get a dumb 4 port hub for 10 bucks === irc is now known as Guest31942 [22:27] bobertdos: Then why not use the "old" one until Intrepid comes out? [22:27] k lol....no sound.... it worked,....but no sound came out [22:27] What's the access point name for Australian Virgin Broadband with 3G modems? [22:27] DigitalFiz: what is your question? === Guest31942 is now known as guitargod [22:28] k lol....no sound.... it worked,....but no sound came out [22:28] bobertdos: that sucks [22:28] BCM34, yeah it's actually retarded, they won't help us out at all [22:28] leslieviljoen, i think i solved it [22:28] Doc|Mib: Because some people, like CKyle22 would rather have it now :p [22:28] guitargod: look and make sure that the sound is on on the youtube video :) [22:29] syslq: what? not sure what you mean [22:29] Urgh, I'm trying to convert my sister because none of her drivers work in XP, and the only thing that (probably) won't work is her 3G USB modem! :( I just need the access point name for it and I should be good to go [22:29] CKyle22: the new VLC has mainly GUI changes, hardly new functionality as end user. you really need the newest release? [22:29] *for end users [22:29] CKyle22: but you know, we're all kind of thinking that Intrepid will cover it [22:29] Alright [22:29] if its only gui its ok [22:29] i can wait [22:29] yes youtube videos are still quite..no sound what sop ever [22:29] Halp. :( [22:30] Any ETA on Intrepid by the way? [22:30] ETA is 2 weeks :) [22:30] CKyle22: exactly one month [22:30] Doc|Mib: are you trying a live cd? [22:30] Fine, I'll be back. >_>; [22:30] cool. is there a link somewhere? [22:30] hi all [22:30] need help pls [22:30] anyone? [22:30] leslievilijoen: No, I'm operating off my own laptop to try get it work on there before I install anything on my sister's computer. [22:31] im soo close haha...coming all the way from 6>04 lts [22:31] CKyle22: Somewhere, but as long as it's still in the dev cycle, we're not supposed to help you with it :p [22:31] !ask | misha77 [22:31] misha77: 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. :-) [22:31] how do i customize login screen on xubuntu [22:31] ? [22:31] misha77: look at gdb theames [22:31] got the video player ..it works flawlesssy...just no sound!! arrg [22:31] join #winehq [22:31] Anyway, I'll be back because there's only one net connection and I'm using it. [22:32] guitargod: Your audio device is probably not configured at all, I'm guessing. [22:32] hi [22:32] misha77; in gnome ( idon't know xubuntu) you would goto system>administration>login window [22:32] is it possible to have autocompletition on emacs? [22:32] for c++ [22:32] guitargod: do you have gnash installed? [22:32] bastid_raZor, thnx i know that...but on xfce it seems it's a little complicated [22:33] bobert...i used audio stuff before upgrade when i have dapper.....and ..bcm..im not sure..is that in synaptic? [22:33] guitargod: go to firefox and type in about:plugins [22:33] misha77: gksu gdmsetup ? [22:33] hi, i just wanted to know if there is a way to let the wallpapers in ubuntu change every hour? [22:34] guitargod: It depends, but I repeat, this is why direct upgrades are EVIL! [22:34] is there any one how can use emacs [22:34] ?? [22:34] knut: you can have it change every x minutes in desktop background controls. [22:34] comicinker, i think you got it...

[22:36] guitargod: yes [22:37] i dont think there is a wonderful amazing way of autocompleting c++ idioms in emacs [22:37] exit [22:37] and emacs is more productive [22:37] I like IDE's [22:37] i guess. i just use c++ syntax highlighting in emacs . eclipse and c++ isnt so bad. [22:38] Is Eclipse 3.2 in the repos yet? [22:38] Hey when people are talking in here, I can see refresh lines running down the screen as the chat slowly scrolls up, what setting in xorg.conf would I change to fix that? Refresh rate right?

[22:42] Why do USB modems have to be SO DAMN ANNOYING?! [22:43] well.....im gunna guess i have to download some thing and burn it as an image or something right? [22:43] !usb install | pslboy [22:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about usb install [22:43] MXIIA: I did lspci | grep VGA a lot today to find mine [22:43] Hello, [22:43] I am looking for a firewall friendly remote control and / or screen diffusion under ubuntu. [22:43] !install | pslboy [22:43] pslboy: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [22:43] Joshooa, thanks [22:43] folks i'm really trying to get ndiswrapper working properly on my ubuntu hardy box. i installed from ubuntu's package, found the right winxp driver: rtl-8185l (tew-432pi revisionc.1) and it worked GREAT when i first installed it. then i added ndiswrapper to /etc/modules; then restarted a couple times and we dont see the wireless networks anymore :( ideas? [22:43] thank you so much ! [22:43] Dandre1: ufw [22:43] guitargod: yeah, there are other ways though that I just sent to pslboy [22:44] Joshooa, "01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200 Series]" Correct? [22:44] MXIIA:also lshw and hwinfo (most detailed) [22:44] MXIIA: Yes, that's what you have [22:45] everythings seems to be fine sept for audio...i remember about a year ago tryin to upgrade from breezy someone saying burn i386 to a disk as image lol.......wouldnt it be easier to unistall the sound considering its not working anyway and reinstall/ [22:45] Ok, is there a driver for that, Because my desktop effects say that I need a graphics card driver. [22:45] MXIIA: Probably, you'll have to search. Have you tried checking restricted drivers? [22:45] No, I haven't [22:45] I will though [22:46] MXIIA:look up ati HP [22:46] guitargod: try this first: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321048 [22:46] guitargod: Actually, I suppose it IS possible that the old ALSA and Pulse could be conflicting with each other. [22:46] MXIIA: Under System > Admin I think, and then go there, it'll hopefully say not enabled, and then you check it, and it installs it, then you logout and back in [22:46] ok, thanks Joshooa and DasEi [22:46] MXIIA: And if it's not just there, like my nvidia always is, then you'll have to start searching around [22:46] guitargod: so that might be worth a shot, but I can't guarantee it would work [22:46] Can somebody tell me if there is a way to automatically mount a non-system drive upon startup?

[23:00] Does anyone know how to use Avidemux? I can't find any instructions and want to take a foto pic from a video? [23:00] Okay, so Ubuntu wont open my second hard drive. I had Ubuntu before, reformatted to vista and backed up my music + pics to a second hd. Vista couldn't read the hd, so I went back to Ubuntu. Well now Ubuntu wont read it. Any ideas whats going on? [23:00] no sound......all tho id like to check that file again and make sure i changed it right [23:00] Coke, restricted drivers = hardware drivers [23:01] gotta sleep, bye! [23:01] Coke, that guide is using the older name for the same tool [23:01] dr_Willis, this guide: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide [23:01] !ati | Coke [23:01] Can anyone tell me if there is a likely reason for the display vibrating and flashing when clicking anywhere on the desktop? [23:01] Spherous, perhaps its not mounted. [23:01] DasEi: Typingthem up at pastebin now. [23:02] Spherous, if the system sees 'errors' on the disk - it may refuse to mount it also. [23:02] dr_Willis, it refuses to mount, gives me an error, the disc name is 114.5 GB Media [23:02] dr_Willis, yeah but i can't enable anything there.. it says like i got no drivers installed.. [23:02] Spherous, thats just the name gnome is giving it. [23:02] Where can I find instructions on how to use Avidemux? Anyone know??? [23:02] dr_Willis, !ati in terminal ? [23:02] Coke, if the card is too new. it may not be seen/detexcted by the term [23:03] dr_Willis, I understand that. So what can I do to get my info off of it?

[23:03] iwlist wlan0 scan gets nothing [23:03] Spherous, try mounting it manyally read only, then there are the various filesystem check/recovery tools. depending on the exact filesystem you are using. (ntfs i assume) [23:03] Yeah its ntfs [23:04] dr_Willis, so how would I go about mounting it read only? [23:04] dr_Willis, !ati doesn't tell me anything in terminal ? is 8,05 comming out soon ?, what is the envyng tool ? [23:04] sudo mount 114.5 GB Media?

[23:06] comicinker, no Internal IDE, my main drive is Sata === Sad`Panda is now known as sad`panda [23:06] puff: you should try the live cd (boot it) and run e2fsck on that drive, also see : man testdisk [23:07] oddly similiar name :\ [23:07] Spherous: before you mount it manually you have to find out the device path. you can find the device path with sudo fdisk -l [23:07] friggg neeed soundddd [23:08] DasEi: I'm booted under the live CD now. It appears to know nothing about /dev/hda. [23:08] Spherous, with the 'mount' command, or the 'ntfs-3g' command. [23:08] what the hell u did with ur guitar [23:08] Coke, !ati is a bot command. and the bot seems to be dead. 8.10 is due out in october. Note the 8-10 is the Date. :) 2008 10th month [23:09] Coke, and envyng is a unsupported tool that helps install proper video card drivers [23:09] comicinker, Not sure how to tell which it is [23:09] guitargod: reinstall seems to be the only option, do have a usb flash drive? === GO is now known as Guest90541 [23:09] puff :sudo fdisk -l, or sudo gparted [23:09] !hi [23:09] Hi!

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:12] comicinker, alright, so I do sudo mount /dev/sda2/? [23:12] you are right bcm not even audio cd's work. i dont have a usb flash drive. [23:12] DasEi: Ah, it calls it sda. [23:12] puff: it mussnt be mounted to run e2fsck !!!! [23:12] Reading up on e2fsck now. Running startctl -t long /dev/sda while I read. [23:13] I know what is wine, what repo i should add to install the latest it? [23:13] puff: check before running by typing : mount (in terminal) [23:13] DasEi: Yeah, I noticed that the man page was rather firm about that :-). [23:13] pal, that URL tells you the url to add for the latest. [23:13] Spherous: you need a target to mount first. and I can recommend you not to use the kernel's ntfs drivers, ass they are not stable yet. use ntfsmount instead [23:13] hello? [23:13] ok, thanks [23:13] theres no way i can reinstall the sound? [23:13] BCM34 if you are still here I was looking for iwconfig [23:13] puff: then, run : e2fck -p /dev/sda [23:14] RECONFIG!

[23:17] DasEi: Okay, looks like it's not mounted. I was going to run a startctl test before doing anything else, should I just abort that and run e2fsck, or can they both run at the sametime? [23:18] <[Solars]> i think you can safely remove gimp, if it does something you don't like use the rescue disk and reinstall it :p [23:18] http://pastebin.com/m4dc00c67 [23:18] <[Solars]> i was thinking gimp == gnome [23:18] puff: let the one finish, as you are in live (ram) [23:18] dr_Willis, hey, i would like to ask you one more thing, how do i update Gnome to the latest version ? gnome.org says it's 2.26.. how to update to the latest version ? or do i have to wait for the new ubuntu release ?

[23:30] Spherous: space consuming [23:31] Spherous: and secure [23:31] hello === five|closet is now known as evif [23:31] stanman1: I had it running for a quick test - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVZ [23:31] corexcore:you can't change as root ? maybe unmount it first; can you acces the server ? [23:31] comicinker, I'm not worried about space, haha, and by secure you mean, theres no way of data loss? === cnorman is now known as cedx [23:32] DasEi: I can change chown when it's unmounted [23:32] corexcore: can you acces the server ? [23:32] im getting an error installing aircrack -ng [23:32] but then when I try mounting it again... cd and ls is impossible again.. permission denied [23:32] on hardy heron [23:32] Spherous: as long as you keep your original filesystem untouched, it is the seurest way to recover data [23:32] DasEi: I can't access the server.. but I can mount it [23:32] *securest* [23:32] corexcore: its a problem on the server-side then [23:32] DasEi: it seems [23:32] alright, sounds better than forcing a mount [23:32] *most secure* [23:33] comicinker, know a guide to it off the top of your head? [23:33] Spherous: partimage [23:33] DasEi: anything I forgot to restart at the server.. I did add the host-ip to the exports [23:33] corexcore: missed something. Having problems with accessing ntf usb? [23:33] Spherous: or dd [23:33] corexcore: the folder ust be owned by you and exports must allow user [23:34] comicinker, suggest one over the other? [23:34] stanman1: I have problem accessing a NFS share.. from a new client.. addeed the client to the export-ip and that nfs share works fine with another computer [23:34] this is my new .emacs : [23:34] (require 'smart-tab)(global-set-key (kbd C-tab) 'smart-tab) [23:34] (require 'smart-tab) [23:34] ikonia: nothing in those links showed me how to actually figure out which sound card i have [23:34] Spherous: dd [23:34] but know it says c-tab ot defined [23:34] *now [23:34] DasEi: It can't be owned by root and rw for group..?

[23:34] hello [23:35] i have ubuntu 8.04 [23:35] corexcore: can you sudo cd in there ? [23:35] and it appears that cron is not installed by default [23:35] comicinker, alright thanks :D [23:35] is there other alternative for it ? [23:35] corexcore: client os? [23:35] there now discription how to add the WineHQ repository. should be third-party url i think [23:35] linux,stanman1 [23:35] I can just sudo apt-get install dd right? [23:35] Spherous: good luck! [23:36] DasEi: Is sudo cd really a command? [23:36] It say's it isn't [23:36] corexcore: can you: sudo cd /mnt/thebigshare [23:36] hola [23:36] sudo: cd: command not found [23:37] where to get WineHQ repository url? [23:37] Spherous: dd is installed by default.. but for rescuing data there specialized dd's... ddrescue and gddrescue [23:37] corexcore: you will have to change the exports from root to user then or give a password of the (servers) root... [23:37] wine isn't in like ur standard repositories? [23:38] DasEi: is that in the /etc/exports on the server? [23:38] jmscharff2: yes it is [23:38] erUSUL, Oh, alrighty, Thanks! I'm -still- not used to what comes preinstalled on Ubuntu yet~ haha [23:38] corexcore: last options means more work as a rootpw shouldn't be in plain in fstab , so....

[23:38] lol im not spanish lol [23:39] DasEi: I don't got the passwords in plain in the fstab.. maybe that's the problem? [23:39] hey all..is there a command i can runn to tell me which sound driver i have? [23:40] how do i install a package thats in an rpm? [23:40] corexcore: best way is to change exports, so you dont nedd it, but to put it plain in clients fstab is a bad idea, so you would then have to set up an extra (crypted) file....change exports ! [23:40] DigitalFiz: u can just double click it should install it for u [23:40] DigitalFiz: You need a debian file for ubuntu. [23:40] DigitalFiz: if you absoulutely have to : man alien [23:40] using a package manager [23:41] DasEi: after changing exports.. what to restart? [23:41] anyone know of an app I can use to monitor my network traffic? I want to be able to see what programs are sending/recieving, how much kb/s theyre using, and maybe even the location of where incoming data is finally going [23:41] hey all..is there a command i can runn to tell me which sound driver i have? [23:41] hey, my linux computer is connected to my mac via ethernet. the mac is connected to a wireless network with a printer plugged into the router. Ubuntu recognizes the printer, but when I try to print to it, nothing happens. Any ideas? [23:41] jmscharff2, it tries to open in with the archive program [23:41] corexcore: the nfs of the server, and remount on the client [23:41] guitargod: you might use 'lsmod' and see if you can spot it [23:42] donny i dont have any clue what it might be called but thanks [23:42] outbri, its the adobe reader they only offer it in rpm [23:42] guitargod: it might have something like "snd" in the name, making it rather obvious :\ [23:42] ya sry u need a .deb rpm is for like fedora [23:42] sry i read it too quick [23:42] what are u trying to install?

[23:45] puff: what says gparted if it displays the drive ? (right click a parti of it>info/prefences) [23:45] I've been searching but can't find a solution. In the /etc/profile I want PS1 to remain as declared there and not be overridden by ~/.bashrc and can't figure it out. I have tried exporting the PS1 and everything; anyone have a solution? [23:45] puff: also look up correct identifiers there [23:46] corexcore: what will you do ? [23:46] ok so I updated to 8.10 and I had the kernel install change my menu.lst, but now my windows install doesn't show up, is there a way for grub to auto detect the OS's [23:46] optimus: you can not force that afaics if a user changes the value of ps1 in his/her shell init script that's the final value [23:46] vbman11: no [23:46] optimus: also why are you forcing a single ps1 on users?? [23:46] Guys, care to tell me if this is the right command really quick before I run it, I would prefer not to screw anything up: dd bs=512 if=/dev/sda2 of=/home/susa/Documents/foo.dmg conv=noerror,sync [23:46] DasEi: Spherous: nobody knows [23:46] ls -la?

I have a very strange couple of CUPS issues. These issues are a) My user is in the lpadmin group, cupsd.conf appears to be correct, but if I access http://localhost:631 I get a 403. My more annoying issue is b) I have a network printer I have been able to print to before in 8.04, but now cannot. I can print a test page to it, yet all other applications grey out the Print b [23:48] utton when that printer (and cups-PDF) is selected. Any ideas? x.x [23:49] .. and put it outside the ==automatic== parts of the config so it doesn't get overwritten with the next kernel upgrade [23:49] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/d5e354cc7 [23:49] erUSUL: Could I have the profile run an at command with a x second lag to override the .bashrc?

[23:51] Hello all [23:52] optimus: not sure i understand... for that you will have to somehow restart or take control of users shells once they are running... and do it for any shell started by them during their entire session not just the first seconds [23:52] this sucks [23:52] puff: sudo e2fsck - p /dev/sda1 [23:52] i cant get sound to work noo matytter what [23:52] Hey Guys, I'm new here, first time on IRC. [23:52] can anyone help me with ndiswrapper [23:52] sure [23:52] !ovish :D [23:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about ovish :d [23:52] how can i run something like that in crontab ? @reboot for i in /var/www/fastcgi/startup/*.sh; do $i; done [23:52] !ot [23:52] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:52] optimus: maybe there is a way to tell bash to ignore users bashrc or profiles but what you do if the user decides to use another shell ? [23:53] it appears that @reboot doesnt work [23:53] puff: works ? [23:53] Thats true; I guess its a bad idea since they could just close and re-open bash [23:54] !et [23:54] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [23:54] I'm looking for a good webcam app that supports ftp.

I'm scared to run it until I'm sure that its correct [23:54] vbman11: /boot/grub/menu.lst~ or similar.. I have a menu.lst-2.6.24-19-generic here as well as menu.lst~ which I think is a backup nano left for me [23:55] optimus: bash has the --rcfile=whatever to force bash to use that rc file and ignore others [23:55] a webcam app that supports ftp? ummm why? [23:55] rofl [23:55] optimus: maybe you can cook something with that [23:55] Spherous: looks good [23:55] there's lots of webcam apps that push files out with ftp [23:55] care to explain how the bs=512 works? [23:55] Thanks for the help; I'll try some more. [23:55] Like,is that 512 KB, or MB, or GB? [23:56] zcat@mbeki:~$ apt-cache search webcam ftp [23:56] webcamd - Capture images from video devices [23:56] Spherous: 512 bites [23:56] that one perhaps? [23:56] erUSUL, so that won't cover my 114.5GB drive will it? [23:56] Should I change it to 1000000000? [23:57] Spherous: dd is transferring in blocks of 512 bytes .. normally you'd want something like 'count=1' so it only copies one block of 512 bytes .. [23:57] Spherous: that just tell dd to read 512 bytes at a time till the end of the infput file (if=) [23:57] Oh, makes sense, thanks [23:57] The screensaver Fieldlines shows up in the gnome screensaver preferences dialog, but not the generic xscreensaver dialog. How can I make it show up in both? [23:57] Spherous: is the step... hard drives have sector sizes of 512 bytes so it is a good idea to use that value for dd when rescuing data [23:58] Spherous: sorry, not 'normally' but 'sometimes' eg to overwrite the MBR but not the whole disk, you would use 'bs=512 count=1' to write just one block [23:58] Hello everyone. [23:58] Is there a way to make all outgoing connections goes into a proxy ? [23:58] I don't think it worked right...

[23:59] HTTP_PROXY has no effect on non-http traffic tho
