[00:08] blue-frog__: where the rule redirects too.. but it's a little more complex I think.

[00:09] I think --to-ip pr.ox.y.ip [00:09] DasEi: I don't think that's what zetheroo-ubuntu was talking about === MIEYUVDIR is now known as LukeL_ [00:10] DasEi : is that a question? [00:10] indoctrine, check in system->preferences->sessions to make sure you have not accidentally added an entry to start compiz by default [00:10] perhaps it's --to-address, I'm not sure [00:10] Tatty: Nothing there for Compiz [00:10] DasEi : I would like Kopete to take on the theme I have set in Ubuntu [00:10] DasEi: Well, so far I ran e2fsck -p /dev/sda1 andit said to run manually, and you said to run manually, and I started trying to figure out what that entails, and somebody interrupted me in real life and I had to get rid ofthem, and I'm bakc. [00:10] zetheroo-ubuntu:no an answer to your (misunderstood?) question [00:10] Alright, because everyone is idle in SuSE I am going to bug you guys.

[00:12] It's so fucking stupid they chose Novell SuSE [00:12] puff: that was the whole device, but: sudo e2fsck -p /dev/sda1 ???

[00:14] Tatty: I set up some Compiz effects and then when I next logged in, they rendered my desktop near useless, luckily I use Yakuake and it autostarts so I was able to open up Pidgin and ask friends how to fix it. However, after I fixed it, I uninstalled the advanced desktop effects tool and it still defaults to Compiz [00:14] ansichart: I liked 9.3 on small machines, but thats ot , I think [00:14] censorship? [00:15] blue112: Unfortunately I don't know iptables all that well either; I just pasted from the proxy config here which mostly just came from howtos on the web .. [00:15] what is the nix version of autoexec.bat?

Any tips or solutions? /msg tr0nd [00:15] How can a recover a gpg encrypted archive? [00:15] Indoctrine: well, then try installing it and then removing it again.. [00:16] zcat[1], I do not have that file, and unop, trying it out [00:16] Just find it odd... most of the open source / hacking community view censorship is a bad thing... [00:16] vish: What use is that going to be? [00:16] RyanPrior: Easiest option, use firestarter -- I set up my laptop so it connects to wifi and then shares it via the wired network [00:16] as a bad thing* [00:16] I think people should be able to express themselves the way they would like. [00:16] unop, the script is blank, strangely my system starts ntop everytime it starts. (i have since removed it) But as an example of what I'm looking for [00:17] zcat[1]: I want to do the opposite - connect to the wired and broadcast over wireless. [00:17] clayg: there's no direct equiv. to autoexec.bat, but /etc/init is what runs when the machine first boots. Perhaps you want ~/.bashrc ? [00:17] it also starts things once gnome starts b ut I found where to make changes to that [00:17] DasEi: Error reading block 70729 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while reading indirect blocks of inode 9414. Ignore error? [00:17] clayg, there are different user startup scripts [00:17] !startup | clayg [00:17] clayg: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

[00:18] zcat[1], i found an init.d that looks like it contains ntop or a reference to it(link maybe>?) [00:18] Indoctrine: well if it's using a compiz decorator anyways then you didn't remove it. I would re install the advanced desktop effects tool and uncheck the window decorator option. Sounds like it got stuck on or something [00:18] DasEi: Yup, it aborted. [00:18] RyanPrior: well, that should be almost identical.. set up firestarter, set your 'internet' interface and then 'share it' to your wireless. Although you'll also need to set that up as an ad-hoc connection too I suspect. It won't automatically behave like an AP [00:18] it seems to be what I'm looking for and unop I'll give that a whirl ina minute, thanks to both === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [00:18] unop: sorry, /bin/init ;) [00:18] puff: are there any very important data's on that drive ?

[00:19] clouder`grr: Compiz is STUPID. >_< [00:19] unop: sorry, /sbin/init ;) and the config is /etc/init.d, yeah.. used to be /etc/inittab [00:19] Indoctrine: you're stupid [00:19] ok zcat[1] , the files in this directory..can i just erase them if i do not want them to start or is there a better way? [00:19] donny: That was uncalled for. [00:19] puff: the chance is not big, but e2... can sometimes bring a hd even more down, so only reformatting is possible then, little risk, though [00:20] Indoctrine: aye [00:20] clayg: really, really bad idea... [00:20] clayg, if a script for ntop exists in /etc/init.d - they are services, you might like to use bum or sys-rc-conf to enable or disable them [00:20] Please can somebody help? I need to recover a gpg encrypted archive but gpg -o OUT.FILE -d ENCRYPTED.FILE fails. [00:20] clayg, sorry, sysv-rc-conf [00:20] ahhh unop , I saw ntop in the text , pre-gnome and just removed it [00:20] but when i went to /etc/init.d i saw it there [00:20] clayg: I'd strongly suggest not dissabling any service until you know what it's doing and what else depends on it.. and then try something like 'bum' to reconfigure them [00:21] <_mach> i have a problem with ubuntu and my sierra wireless aircard. [00:21] DasEi: I'm onto it now. When I change the permissions on the share on the server.. to 774 I can access my nfs share. Now I just need to make the client user part of the group on the server.

[00:22] DasEi: Important data... yes. I can replace the hardware, I'm more worried about getting the data off, now. [00:22] Indoctrine: Install compiz and the advanced settings, then in window decoration in the advanced settings try writing metacity instead of compiz-decorator. then relogin, and disable compiz by setting effects to none. [00:22] vish: I found a better way, gconf-editor. :) [00:22] anyhoooo I have to pack up and go. bye all [00:22] zcat[1], SWEET. this is listing the same stuff i saw in init.d - ntop is in here [00:22] perfect [00:22] Indoctrine: Did it work?

[00:42] it's a penetration testing program [00:42] ? [00:43] My brother wants to set up a linux workstation to render some of his 3d scenes. I wonder if Maya-3d works in Ubuntu, in that case I can ask him to install Ubuntu instead of RHEL...also can he render his Maya scenes in blender or POV-ray using ubuntu? [00:43] josh, is there a way to autorun that command [00:43] bl3u, if that's what it says it is.. but it works as an ap [00:43] huh [00:43] afallenhope: well thanks for the suggestion for the card :) [00:44] hello all [00:44] has anyone else had a good experience with a usb dongle serving up wifi? [00:44] you can probably add it to the resume script. I used to know where this was in gutsy, but it moved in hardy and I never figured out where it is now. I don't have the issue every time I resume, so I just make a script in my home folder to run this on-demand [00:44] oh [00:45] 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 :(. i also tried uninstalling the package version and running ndiswrapper from source [00:45] ; same issue :( [00:45] arooni-mobile, the problems lies with......your tv being broke :-p [00:45] josh, how do u make a script? [00:46] vish: probably works the question is if it will be supported by the vendor if run in ubuntu. The maya cli rnederer has versions for linux afaik [00:46] arooni-mobile, did you remove it from modules? [00:46] afallenhope, no its still in /etc/modules [00:46] arooni-mobile, then remove it? [00:46] does any ubunutu software support album art for the iphone(otehr ipods) [00:47] mikey, just create a text file. first line is "#!/bin/sh" then the second line is that command. save. change permissions to allow execute (chmod +x filename) [00:47] unable to get my ati x1650 vid card to install and dual monitor, if anyone can help would appreciate it [00:47] afallenhope, ok [00:47] o [00:47] Tricyclethief, have you enabled it in hardware devices? [00:48] it's just easier for me than typing in the command every time. I just called mine "fixaudio" and stuck it in my home directory [00:48] JoshHill, I'd suggest u+x [00:48] in 8.04 i get white screens, 7.1 i can get the drivers loaded but no dual screen, stuck in clone [00:48] true, but it requires sudo anyway [00:48] cant you enabled "big screen" in the ati manager? [00:49] Hey, guys I am having some issues accessing the secondary workstations in ubuntu 8.04 I was able to before and then I closed out a window and now I am stuck on workstation 1 reguardless of what I do to try and change [00:49] JoshHill, errm, no - not if you own the file - which you should [00:49] quit [00:49] it does it when i reboot and get to login screen, but soon as i put in my username/pass it kicks it back to clone [00:49] ati + linux = very troublesome [00:49] erUSUL, Thanx [00:49] What's the name of the disk usage visualiser? [00:49] ryanakca: baobad [00:49] yeah afallenhope ive tryed 7.04, 7.1 and 8.04 about 3-4 times each with every howto on the net =\ [00:49] ryanakca, baobab? [00:49] erUSUL, unop: thanks [00:50] Okay [00:50] at this point i dont even care about compiz and stuff, just want dual screens like in xp =\ [00:50] unop, the only command in the script requires sudo... so yes, any user in sudoers can execute it, but I'm the only user in that on my system. But yes, u+x is better in general [00:50] I followed these directons up until "Building OSS" and now have no sound at all, unlike before I restarted === Omigod is now known as juhizzz [00:50] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound [00:51] I have a problem with ubuntu + samba shares.

[00:51] hey can someone tell me why this website will play in microshaft, but not in linux when I have flash and java installed: http://www.nbc.com/Chuck/video/episodes/ [00:51] I am stumped [00:51] Anyone please help me? I followed these directions up to "Building OSS" restarted, and now have NO sound as opposed to before I did the instructions. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound [00:52] ive seen some youtube vids of people with my ati card running dual monitors and compiz so i know it can be done...just dont know what im missing [00:52] Tricyclethief: If you had an nvidia card it would be trivial :) [00:52] Is it a good idea to defragment a XFS filesystem using xfs_fsr once the filesystem is running over a luks encrypted partition? [00:52] lol i know..just dont have the cash to fork out just to run linux =\ [00:52] could someone wiser please help me? -_- [00:52] JoshHill, if the script needs to be run under sudo - you need more than u+x .. but +x sets ugo+x (by default if you own the file) - but you don't need to use sudo to chmod your own file (which is what i assume you meant) [00:53] ANYWAY please help? I have no sound, won't come out of mute, and I had it before I did this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound [00:53] /quit [00:53] gnome fullscreen games confines the mouse to only part of the screen... anyone handle this? [00:53] hello [00:53] Xpistos, a guess - it requires the new silverlight technology?? [00:53] WDC: did you try undoing what you did? [00:54] cchapman: Don't know how [00:54] i'm having a problem, i cant maximize youtube videos on firefox, it maximizes and comes back instantly to normal [00:56] xkpe same problem :) [00:56] xkpe, if you havent noticed yet, firefox sucks at flash [00:56] xkpe, thats often due to flash version issues. some videos will only allow it with specific flash versions [00:56] I have a problem with ubuntu + samba shares. I can't see the ubuntu computer from my windows computer though we have the same workgroup and samba is installed on my ubuntu computer and running <- no-one can help ? :)) [00:56] how do you enable vsync on ATI cards? [00:57] I am unable to move left or right in my workstations, but I can send windows to other ones, any ideas? [00:57] I would up the bet by saying Flash Sucks. :) [00:57] ANYONE Please help me. I tried to use OSS and Now I have NO sound as compared to before which I had great sound. I am very frustrated [00:57] never mind full screen flash, i'm lucky to get any flash at all, depends if firefox wants to randomly crash or not [00:57] hi i am trying to use a linksys wpc11 notebook card. ubuntu says that it would work just fine with ndiswrapper, and it does, but i cannot connect to the encrypted network. my usb card is working fine, any help please? [00:57] i'd of though one of the 3 updates that has been released since this issue would of fixed it, but no [00:59] csilk, i rarely have any flash issues.. but i dont go to a lot of flash based sites. Ive never noticed youtube crashing on me. [00:59] dr_Willis, conversely, i never notice youtube NOT crashing on me [00:59] csilk: the issue is because of libflashsupport. Without though you won't be able to play flash sound and other sound at the same time [00:59] cbs.com toally broke their videos/flash stuff a few weeks ago under firefox :( but it worked in poera [00:59] This channel has to many questions unanswered [00:59] WDC start answering the unanswered ones then? [01:00] S/he left [01:00] or demand a refund! :P [01:00] i might just un-install flash, i dont really need it anyway and at least i wont crash out randomly [01:00] dr_Willis: thinking the same thing :) [01:00] think he asked a question, waited one minute for a response then got angry hahah [01:00] jrib, how about 'I broke my machine' now i DEMAND you fix it for me! :) [01:00] csilk: I saw him ask a while ago [01:01] "select ubuntu!! great support!! [01:01] fuck you [01:01] wine++ # For letting me run utorrent in Linux. [01:01] oh [01:01] ... [01:01] I did notice ive had to use alsamixer in the cli once to unmute a friends laptop [01:01] rofl [01:01] People get so angry [01:01] Can I defrag a filesystem over an encrypted partition (luks) ? === MrCollins is now known as MrCollins|away [01:01] i was just going to answer juhizzz's question ... [01:01] Indoctrine, thats why i tell them to demand a refund :) [01:01] The world is such an angry place. :< [01:02] unop: PM him if you can? o_O [01:02] csilk: ironically, flash is less problematic on amd64 now because it uses nspluginwrapper. It may still crash, but only flash crashes, not the whole browser [01:02] for samba - ive noticed its very quirky at times. :) but ive played with it so much - i know my around its quirks. [01:02] . [01:02] Indoctrine, not after that .. he can suit himself. [01:02] OFten with samba i find if you jyst type in the //machinename/sharename it will get found. [01:02] Is it a good idea to defragment a XFS filesystem using xfs_fsr once the filesystem is running over a luks encrypted partition? [01:03] unop: Rofl, I can't say you guys have ever FIXED a problem of mine... usually you just give me more ideas of where to look to solve it myself [01:03] jrib, no flash no crashes no annying ads, bye bye flash :) [01:03] hi i am trying to use a linksys wpc11 notebook card. ubuntu says that it would work just fine with ndiswrapper, and it does, but i cannot connect to the encrypted network. my usb card is working fine, any help please? [01:03] what does a network printer mean? is there another way to make it accessible to a net of computers except from hooking the usb cable to one of the computers? [01:03] samba-- # Seems to get an increasingly more complex configuration process for every release, yet keeps getting less and less stable. [01:03] Indoctrine, i guess that's only fair - we don't get paid here :) [01:03] csilk: the best solution :) You could try using one of the open source flash implementations like gnash. At least you'll be able to play some things (I think it does youtube) [01:03] Debolaz, just wait for the next Major update to samba. :) [01:03] i am having this issue on a d-link dwa 642 anythingouts? [01:03] unop: Thing is, IRC is usually a last ditch attempt to get things working. :P [01:03] Debolaz, samba is very very well documented however. :) its amazing the things it can do that people dont know about [01:04] gnome fullscreen games confines the mouse to only part of the screen... anyone handle this? [01:04] Indoctrine: you haven't been here that long huh [01:04] Indoctrine, lol for you maybe.. for alot of people its the first port of call when they cant do something [01:04] Indoctrine, i wish a lot more people felt the same way :) [01:04] jrib: Whatcha mean? [01:04] csilk: And then they complain when they're told to RTFM or Google it. ;) [01:04] Indoctrine: we can discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic if you want [01:04] Indoctrine, he means, most people are too lazy to think up google search terms :) [01:05] problem...I cant hear soudn on my ubuntu...anyone can help me? [01:05] ironically, it's more effort to ask a coherent question than string together 4 keywords in google [01:05] dr_Willis: I actually retired samba today. Replaced it with NFS.. Mostly due to the smbfs client in Ubuntu not being exceedingly capable though, to the point where many programs will refuse to open a file on an SMB share. [01:06] Debolaz, i find the main issue i have is with the kde/gnome file managers and other apps accessing stuff over a share. If i mount the shares manually, or use that smb-fuse tool. I rarely have issues. [01:06] hi i am trying to use a linksys wpc11 and d-link dwa 642 notebook card. ubuntu says that it would work just fine with ndiswrapper, and it does, but i cannot connect to the encrypted network. my usb card is working fine, any help please? [01:06] There certainly is some irony to it.. Samba used to be the easy choice that was simple to set up, while NFS was hell to get running. Now it's the other way around. [01:07] Debolaz, for my home lan. It takes me 2 min to get samba going. but I do know exactly what to edit in the smb.conf file. :) and to make samba passwords for the user. [01:07] Debolaz, it's the dithering on microsoft's part that's partly to blame [01:07] dr_Willis: Well yeah, gnome passing smb:// urls to applications doesn't exactly help either. [01:07] FAJ, wep or other? [01:08] Debolaz, yep. I always suggest actually mounting the shares somewhere. [01:08] Even when browsing a mounted share. === noway is now known as _haywire_ [01:08] Okay, I don't know what I did, but I want ALSA back and everything I try from the internet doesn't work. I have no sound, and had it 5 minutes ago.

[01:09] Will someone PLEASE repsond, because everytime I ask a question here, I never get a response [01:09] dr_Willis: Mounting didn't help anything in my case, gnome still decides to pass smb:// urls to applications if I try to open a file in a directory mounted from an SMB share. [01:09] csilk: it's aes encryption [01:09] I have no idea why, maybe I did something wrong. [01:09] FAJ, try wep , if that works then there is obviously a bug with thte wpa implementation [01:10] if that doesnt work then come back [01:10] how do i set a custom resolution so i can use my tv to watch movies i play on my computer ? [01:10] Debolaz, that seems weird.. if the share is mounted to /home/bob/mystuff i dont see how it would do that. [01:10] csilk: isn't the wep much much less secure? [01:10] Anyone help me get rid of OSS and get back ALSA? [01:10] !chmod [01:10] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [01:10] FAJ, yes but this is for diagnostic purposes, and its not as if its insecure oir anything [01:10] not for a home user [01:10] no one is gonna spend 4 months attacking your 128bit hash now are they? [01:10] WDC, you may want to detail to the channel how you 'installed oss' exactly. [01:10] how do i set a custom resolution so i can use my tv to watch movies i play on my computer ? [01:11] [01:11] dr_Willis: I thought it was weird too.. But it did.. So I eventually gave up on trying to open files from the gnome file browser and instead open them directly in the applications.. Which ironically mostly uses the gnome file browser, and gets the correct path to the file when done from within the application itself. [01:11] dVs--, how is the tv hooked to the pc? [01:11] can't anyone help me? [01:11] Completely nonsensical. [01:11] s-video [01:11] dVs--, i just set up my nvidia machines to use the tv as a 2nd monitor. and enable twinview. I drag the player window to the tv.. and fullscreen it [01:11] !question nutella_ [01:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:11] dr_Willis: CAn't find what I used, but it was a Ubuntu site [01:12] !question| nutella_ [01:12] nutella_: 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. :-) [01:12] ok i wi ll look into that [01:12] thankx [01:13] FAJ, did it work with wep? [01:13] WDC, you may want to check your firefox browser history - IT may be a little hard to undo somthing if theres no info on what you did exactly [01:13] Does Ubuntu/Linux have a PeerGuardian type client? [01:14] What's the most efficient way (lowest ressource consumption) to copy 27GB of data from one HD to the other? Plain old /bin/cp ? [01:14] GreedyB, i belive 'privoxy' is related to peerguardian [01:14] hmm okay thanks [01:14] dr_Willis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound [01:15] csilk: It was in one line so? I doN't have sound on ubuntu no more....can somoene help me? [01:15] what is the package that contains the 'make' application [01:15] make [01:15] ryanakca, yeah that without anything(x, etc..) running, i guess.. [01:15] subdolus: apt-get installl make [01:15] WDC, for starters it looks lik eyou will need to edit the 'blacklist' file and Unblacklist all the alsa modules that the docs blacklisted [01:15] vishy: thanks [01:15] dr_Willis: Even when mounted with fuse-smbfs and opened directly in the application, some applications will refuse to work though, because fuse-smbfs doesn't seem to provide all the neccesary filesystem calls that some applications need. It seems only applications that has very basic ways of accessing files, such as media players, works. This was the main reason for switching to NFS, utorrent needed something fuse-smbfs didn't support. [01:15] dr_Willis: Okay, let me see [01:16] how to ensure my samba server is secure? [01:16] thomc: dont use it [01:16] :) [01:16] WDC, you did notice that site has a link to a "how to revert back to alsa' page? [01:16] thomc: Make sure it's behind a firewall.

[01:17] csilk: tried doing that; but then could not connect at all... i am trying to use the d-link card.... [01:18] csilk: shouldn't i use the mad-wifi-ng drivers to install it b/c it is atheros [01:19] FAJ1, ubuntu should do that for you [01:19] in the hardware dirvers section [01:19] csilk: it didn't and the driver doesn't show up [01:19] I do not know what to do anymore, my mouse seems to have its own life, the cursor starts running across the screen and click everywhere after it decides to stop i have to close all windows it has opened.I had to learn a lot of keyboard shortcuts to avoid using it. Please help!! [01:20] FAJ1, hmm thats odd, ubuntu got over those issues long ago, i guesss you could always compile from source [01:20] you need madwifi-ng [01:20] zimbres, do you have a dual boot system? [01:20] compiling drivers from course takes me back to my slackware days .... [01:20] csilk.... i think i already tried thiss... [01:21] *source [01:21] zimbres, clean the mouse lately? Unplug/plug it vback in? clean the mouse pad? [01:21] FAJ1, then you gotta modprobe ath_pci [01:21] to get the kernal module loaded [01:21] zimbres, i got a mouse with a bad button right now.. its always doubleclicking by mistake. :( time to toss it out [01:21] ok so where is the source then? and does the -ng come as a deb already installed? [01:22] zimbres, My old mouse used to do that...I got a new one and it worked just fine too.. [01:22] 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 :(. i also tried uninstalling the package version and running ndiswrapper from source [01:22] ; same issue :(. in /var/log/messages (after restart i see: ndiswrapper (mp_reset:64): wlan0 is being reset).... how to fix? [01:22] dr_Willis, I have broken one mouse hitting it against my desk and now i have a new one. [01:22] zimbres, mouse abuse? [01:23] csilk; should i use ath5k? [01:23] vishy, No my HD is not partitioned. i have only Ubuntu. [01:23] dr_Willis, it made me crazy. [01:24] zimbres, then the only thing I can think of is to have your hardware checked up.. [01:24] could be a flakey usb port also [01:24] arooni-mobile: try removing it from modprobe and then adding 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' minus the quotes to /etc/rc.local [01:24] FAJ1, when i last compiled madwifi from the source the latest was madwifi-ng [01:24] FAJ1, how do i remove from modrpobe [01:25] this was a few years ago [01:25] csilk: so use that instead of ath4k [01:25] !modprobe [01:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about modprobe [01:25] FAJ1, you mean remove from /etc/modules ? [01:25] arooni-mobile: yes i believe so [01:25] i'm not upto speed with the madwifi project anymore since i changed my wifi hardware to intel and let ubuntu manage it for me [01:25] csilk... [01:25] vishy, But what should be checked up? i have bought a new mouse and nothing has changed. [01:26] is webmin not available in the hardy repositories? I can't find it [01:26] FAJ1, when i did it last you just needed to install madwifi-ng ./configure make install modprobe ath_pci [01:26] !webmin | nemesis256 [01:26] nemesis256: 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. [01:26] zimbres, I meant your mouse PS/2 ports... [01:26] you need to rtm to take into accoutn any changes since i last used it [01:26] !nvidia [01:26] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:27] vishy, I do not know how to do this.

[01:29] advice*, even [01:29] csilk; it's make make install modprobe ath_pci as root [01:29] Seb: #ubuntu+1 for help with intrepid (see /topic) [01:29] zimbres, try taking out your mouse wire that is connected to the cpu, and check the place for any dust or anything else..if everything fails, then i'd say get a hardware pro to get it fixed. [01:29] jrib: sorry, my mistake [01:30] jrib: will head there [01:30] jrib: thanks ! [01:30] FAJ1, yeah, i'd of thought you would need to ./configure first [01:30] vishy, Thanks. [01:30] nope :D [01:30] really? [01:30] command not found, but make then make install worked fine supposedly [01:30] no errors so far [01:31] after sudo make install what do i do? [01:31] ./configure > command not found?? [01:31] wtf [01:31] was there a CONFIGURE file? [01:31] csilk, :) wrong dirextory? [01:31] dr_Willis, yeah he probs did get the wrong dir [01:31] csilk louie@lrc-laptop:~/Desktop/madwifi-0.9.4$ sudo ./configure sudo: ./configure: command not found [01:31] but he says its compiling now? [01:31] ./configure, make, sudo make install, run the app [01:31] any photographers here? [01:31] sudo ./configure sudo: ? [01:31] You normally do NOT ned to 'sudo ./confgure' [01:32] just the last step [01:32] ya but does it hurt it? [01:32] FAJ1, it CAN hurt. :) [01:32] FAJ1, dont sudo the ./configure [01:32] its a useless use of sudo. [01:32] dr_Willis: shoot, well i did the other two steps,,, so is it ok anyways? [01:32] erm.. maybe [01:32] It would of just made root owned files in the subdirectory where the source is at. [01:32] ok.... so what to do? [01:33] FAJ1, if it works then ok.. but strange but never mind [01:33] dr_Willis, some .configure files need it to be sudoed due to permissions [01:33] ho do i get the ati controler [01:33] csilk: how can i make sure it worked?

[01:34] why does every keystroke cause a beep while in xchat? [01:34] lukosanthropos, , within or outside your network? [01:34] benedikt: Why do you ask? [01:34] i even turned off my speakers, and it's only in xchat [01:35] csilk; i put in sudo modprobe ath_pci no errors, but i can't see it in network manager? [01:35] lukosanthropos, , if its on your lan then no, if its outside and you are behind any kind of firewall or NAT then you need to forward a port [01:35] Csilk local netowk, I can access it through local host but another machine on my network cant see if from its ip [01:35] FAJ1, need to restart network manager [01:35] csilk; will restarting x work? [01:35] probably [01:36] and csilk; i have bad times with modprobing,,, should i ad sudo modprobe ath_pci to rc.local? it's the only way i can get my ndiswrapper to work? [01:36] bobertdos: i have to get a answear from a phtography soley using linux. i am looking for a alternative for adobe lightroom or a way to run it in a a good way in linux (wither as a vm, then a question of how much ram i really need, wich virtualizion software delivers best performance with it etc etc) or a linux-running alternative. i have tried lightzone and bluemarine but dont like them enoug [01:36] i'd of thought it would automatically start on boot [01:36] at least it always did with me with slackware [01:36] and that was years ago [01:36] csilk: maybe im just special ;) brb [01:37] beeping keystrokes in irc only? [01:37] my hard drive stopped being recognized in ubuntu...it's not listed in fdisk -l anymore...help? [01:37] csilk, thanks got it now I have to say that I keep hating google chrome more and more [01:37] i havent used chrome [01:37] i hope i dont need to [01:37] can anyone explain to me what might cause my home partition to fill up twice as fast as it should? I have about 5 gigs of data, yet df -h is reporting over 9 gigs used. [01:38] because what the world needs know is another browser -_- [01:38] I tried it for the same reason I tried vista, now I can hate it even more [01:38] **now [01:38] benedikt: Well, vmware or virtualbox are the other two common ones for virtualization. Otherwise, wine may be your only hope :p === passwd is now known as omolina [01:38] Heston: well some percentage (5% is default iirc) is reserved for root [01:38] bobertdos: it doest run in wine. i use vmware at work to virutalize servers but i have never used it for desktop work (other then as a test enviroment) === slash is now known as Slash_Network [01:39] jrib, ok but as im checking out a large svn repo, my storage is still going twice as fast as it should be [01:39] my hard drive stopped being recognized in ubuntu...it's not listed in fdisk -l anymore...help? [01:39] hi. i used the Compiz Fusion community documentation here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion, and followed the instructions, but whenever i get to the "compiz --replace" step, terminal completely crashes. can anyone help? [01:39] benedikt: I assume it isn't possible for you to dual boot, is it? [01:39] jrib, and last I checked, 4 gigs of 9 is a lot more than 5% [01:39] hi ppl! i just installed xubuntu on my aspire one, and everything is running fine. but this annoying window about my non-open atheros wlan driver keeps popping up, what should I do to enable the drivers and get rid of the window? [01:40] bobertdos: it is possible, but i am looking to move back to linux again. its sort of a last resort. [01:40] Heston: 5% of the partition size [01:40] csilk; doesn't even show up in network manager after restart :| [01:40] hmmm [01:40] csilk; so how can i remove the compiled program??? because i don't want it there.... [01:40] anyways.. Anyone know how to clear the run menu? (Run application ..ALT + F2) [01:41] csilk; i am running usb wifi right now... not my favorite, but w/e i can deal w/ it... [01:41] jrib, its a 13.9 gig partition, 5% is less than a gig, i have over 4 gigs now of unaccounted space [01:41] i just need to know how to remove that compiled driver so i only have ndiswrapper [01:41] benedikt: Well, if I may say so, if you need Light Room so badly, you may not have many other options. [01:41] can anyone help me with this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/52675/ [01:41] Heston: use Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyzer to find out where the data is coming from [01:42] csilk; the card shows up as unidentified in lshw.... [01:42] bobertdos: it is what i am fearing. i am going to try to buy more ram to my laptop and try running it in an virtual machine, i fear 1 gb is too little to do it sucessfully. [01:43] benedikt: Given how demainding Adobe's suites can be, I would tend to agree. [01:44] bobertdos: the cs3 suite comes on 4 dvds and require you to put in every single one only if you are just installing a single application. [01:44] benedikt: yup [01:45] Axle: Well, I agree that you should run chkdsk on it. Simple solutions have to come first. [01:45] any idea how vmware server will perform for this task? i dont feel like paying for the vmware workstation thing. [01:45] csilk; just went into dir and typed sudo make uninstall [01:46] does the ubuntu package of rtorrent contain XMLRPC support? [01:47] To all those who are trying to clear the gnome-run-history do it in your gconf editor. [01:47] bobertdos: what is the command for chdsk? [01:48] anyone know how to change the settings on my laptop's display so that when i dim the backlght it won't brighten up when i move the mouse? [01:48] it only happens if it has been idle for a while [01:48] Axle: Well, this needs to be done from Windows. [01:48] hey guys. got a big problem. my laptop worked fine last night, but when i turn it on today, it gets through the grub loading, then displays "Starting up ..." in the topleft corner and doesnt change from there [01:49] any ideas? [01:49] I don't have windows on this computer...this is ubuntu... [01:50] Axle: fsck [01:50] (filesystem check) [01:50] Theres some ntfs tools.. but its proberly best to work with ntfs disks from a real windows machine [01:50] csilk; i have no idea in high heaven what i did; but i reinstalled the driver for the dlink card in ndiswrapper and poof! it worked.... [01:51] so thx for you help [01:51] CyD: WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause [01:51] SEVERE filesystem damage. [01:51] oops is pasted 2 lines [01:51] Dont fsck a mounted filesystem :) [01:51] Axle: it is telling the truth :) [01:51] then how do I fix this? [01:51] Axle: Well, if you're running Ubuntu solo, I wouldn't recommend having an NTFS partition in the first place. In the meantime, if you have a Windows CD, use that. Otherwise, if you can boot into a Live session and find gpart (not to be confused with gparted) I'd try running that. [01:52] Someone pointed me to some Python script that lets you have a wallpaper for each workspace the other day and I lost it [01:52] Might anyone know it? [01:52] Axle: did the system report a filesystem issue that needs to be fixed? [01:52] bobertdos: I need an NTFS partition because I'm going to make this drive external, but I don't have a case right now [01:52] CyD: It disappeared from the system, it no longer shows up in fdsk -l [01:52] Can fsck even run on NTFS? I never thought so. [01:53] Anyone know of a frame-by-frame video editor/author ? [01:53] ntfsprogs - tools for doing neat things in NTFS partitions from Linux [01:53] bobertdos, No it cant. :) see [01:53] bobertdos: fsck will run the appropriate command based on filesystem [01:53] ntfsprogs [01:53] of coruse if ntfsprogs isent installed.. well.. install it. [01:54] Rezagrats: tried kino, pitivi, and avidemux? [01:54] CyD: the partition shows up as mounted, but if I try to access it all the files are missing [01:54] Ah, yes, I forgot about ntfsprogs. How silly of me! [01:55] Anyone? [01:55] I want to have a wallpaper for each workspace, someone pointed me to a Python script that does this [01:55] but I lost it [01:55] Axle: Of course, if all else fails, the worst case scenario is that you wait to get an enclosure and fix the drive when you have access to a Windows system. [01:55] dr_willis: I installed ntfsprogs, but what is the command to run it? [01:55] Xavura, i remember hearing about that [01:55] <|Porsche> hello, I made my partion readonly on fstab and now i cant change it how can i fix it? [01:55] RabidLockerGnome: Any idea what it may be called? [01:55] jrib, nautilus and Disk Usage Analyzer are reporting completely different information [01:56] crap i've been looking for it myself, Xavura [01:56] Damn it. [01:56] Axle, its not 'a' program. its a package of a lot of differnet tools [01:56] My history is far too vast, even from a day or two ago to find it [01:56] heh [01:56] seriously >.> [01:56] when recording sound capture i get gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Failed to connect: Connection refused [01:56] |Porsche: Did you set write permissions in the fstab entry? [01:56] Axle, try ntfs [01:56] <|Porsche> no i did not my system is read-only [01:56] start typing into location bar and see what comes up as suggested in FF, Xavura ? [01:57] RabidLockerGnome: Hurray for Firefox's search history feature! [01:57] RabidLockerGnome: http://wallpapoz.akbarhome.com/ [01:57] |Porsche: Well if you didn't set write permissions in the fstab entry, it will always mount as read=-only [01:57] Xavura, right on :-) [01:57] :) [01:57] *read-only [01:57] dr_willis: I have a lot of options... [01:57] <|Porsche> is there any way i can change that indirectlY? [01:57] oh crap. i think my mobo must be wounded... it cant boot kernels. [01:58] Axle, time to check theman pages for the proper program then. and No i dont know what one to use.. [01:58] dr_willis: ntfs-3g, ntfs-3g.probe, ntfscat, ntfsclone, ntfscluster, ntfscmp, ntfs-config, ntfscp, ntfisfix, ntfsinfo, ntfslabel, ntfsls, ntfsmount, ntfsresize, ntfsundelete... [01:58] Axle, but 'ntfsfix' seems to stand out of that list.. :) [01:58] lol... [01:58] |Porsche: You can change permissions within the mountpoint using chmod. Also make sure that you (and not root) are the owner of the mountpoint. [01:59] can someone help me with connecting to my wireless network? i go into networking tools and i enter my password for my router... it doesnt connect me [01:59] <|Porsche> how do i do that? [01:59] is there any way to install encrypted LVM from the normal ubuntu install CD without using the alternative? [01:59] dr_willis: "Refusing to operate on read-write mounted device /dev/sdb1." [01:59] anyone ever seen a problem with "PCI: MSI quirk detected. MSI deactivated" when booting in recovery mode? [02:00] Axle, and once again.. we are back to the 'file system checking a MOUNTED partition' is bad.... [02:00] Axle, so unmount the thing [02:01] dr_willis: if I have programs that use the mount location, will it screw them up if I don't use them until I remount it? [02:01] is there a way to check what programs are using bandwidth? i'm using ~130kbps down but i don't have any programs open that *should* be using bandwidth [02:02] does the ubuntu package of rtorrent contain XMLRPC support? [02:02] im so confused why i cant connect to my internet on my ubuntu computer [02:02] Bogus8, i don't believe so, i think it has to be compiled in. [02:02] GAAAH. Why does the Ubuntu start page always redirect to Google UK? [02:02] I like my US interface >.< [02:02] Will 8.04 get openoffice-3.0 when its released? [02:02] arrrghhh: poo... I really want a web interface as I won't be the only one using my torrent client [02:02] Axle, i would suggest closing them out and unmounting the stuff.. YOu really dont want the system to crash while fixing a drive. [02:03] budpimp: http://www.thebuzz.com/cc-common/artist_submission/player.html?art=200912 [02:03] cxo, 8.04.... probably not. 3.0 probably won't make 8.10. [02:03] cxo: 8.04 is hardy 8.10 is intrepid [02:03] hardy is already out [02:03] Bogus8, i know, so compile rtorrent with xmlrpc. [02:03] i thought 8.04 would get updates for 3years or something [02:04] arrrghhh: but I like packages because it's easy to maintain :) [02:04] cxo, you will get it eventually. but if you're asking about 3.0 final making the 8.10 release, no. [02:04] oh my bad cxo. i thought you meant when 8.04 was released [02:04] cxo, security updates mainly [02:04] Bogus8, well then use something else lol [02:04] is there any way to install encrypted LVM from the normal ubuntu install CD without using the alternative boot CD? [02:04] I meant as a apt-get upgrade, when oo.org-3 is released [02:04] so its a no? for 8.04? [02:05] Whats a good dynamic ip redirector that has a program I can use in Ubuntu? [02:05] cxo, eventually, yes. [02:05] <_mach> i have a problem with my internet access; i have a sierra wireless aircard (evdo) 580. [02:05] <_mach> http://rafb.net/p/iqmU4225.html that's the log of gnome-ppp. [02:05] <_mach> my lspci -v is also attached there. [02:05] arrrghhh, just so i followed right, 8.04 will eventually get office-3.0? [02:06] <_mach> is there a reason for this activity? [02:06] <_mach> does anyone have experience with this device? [02:06] Hi... I'm new to Ubuntu... I have downloaded a program in the form of tag.gz and extracted it... how do I make and makeinstall? [02:06] cxo, when 3.0 is released, yes. [02:06] it is automatically upgrade kernel from 2.6.24 to 2.6.26 for ubuntu? [02:06] dr_willis: umount: /media/Axle: device is busy [02:06] i've got a problem: i'm dualbooting, but grub only starts when I boot from the usb flashdrive that i installed from. perhaps grub didn't install to my mbr? [02:06] is there any idea ? [02:06] GreedyB, what do you mean, redirector? [02:06] Axle, close all apps that are accessing it.. You may need to reboot if any of them crashed. [02:06] arrrghhh, thanks [02:07] how can i check what programs are using how much bandwidth? [02:07] Axle, or use the force option in unmount [02:07] ? [02:07] arrrghhh, netop or something, its like top, but for the network [02:07] Open Source rocks [02:07] Delmarc, you may want to look VERY hard for a prebuildt package - compiling from source will take a bit of learning. [02:07] cxo, there's netstat i know [02:07] Delmarc, install the 'build-essential' package for starters [02:07] no, not netstat [02:08] Enter text here... [02:08] cxo, something like dyndns used to be.. was wondering if their is something better that has a program for Ubuntu [02:08] netstat only shows connections [02:08] dr_willis: I tried looking in synaptic, it's not there... besides, I want to learn [02:08] dr_willis: okay [02:08] in other words, if i don't boot from the usb stick, it goes straight to starting windows without any boot menu [02:08] Delmarc, it is in there.. check the spelling. [02:08] !find build-essential [02:08] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:08] arrrghhh, http://freshmeat.net/projects/nettop/ [02:08] is there any way to install encrypted LVM from the normal ubuntu install CD without using the alternative? [02:08] cxo, i know... i want something that shows what is using x # of bandwidth. i have a 256kbps download and i don't know wth is using that b/w. [02:08] dr_willis: XMMS :op [02:09] but the ubuntu partitions do exist on the hd, and i can use them with the usb stick. any ideas? [02:09] dr_willis: it still won't unmount, even when I try to force it [02:09] Delmarc, best thing you can do with xmms. is learn to use an alternaive program [02:09] !xmms [02:09] xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [02:09] gibtss hier leute die deutsch konnen??????????????? [02:09] Axle, now ya know why i normally do all my 'fscking' from a live cd. [02:09] ahh you need to trace packets down to processes [02:09] dr_willis: which do you recommend personally? [02:09] how do i use backspace to go back one page in firefox????????? [02:09] I'm looking for a good webcam app that supports ftp. Any ideas? [02:09] Delmarc, depends on what you are playing. I tend to use bmpx [02:09] dr_willis: I can't use a live cd, drive broke while I was trying to fix this same hard drive a few days ago [02:10] Delmarc, or songbird [02:10] can you encrypt the root partition after ubuntu has been installed? [02:10] then you have to use netstat and tcpdump, and watch the port numbers, i dont know if there is a program for that or not [02:10] Axle, there are tools to make bootable usb sticks. :) [02:10] but you can do it manually [02:10] dr_willis: I want something minimal... these other programs with extensive "libraries" and needless features turn me off [02:10] dr_willis: I don't own a usb stick [02:10] GreedyB, dynadns has script that does it for you, and its called Dynamic DNS, not a Dynamic IP Redirector [02:11] YOU USELESS FUCKS FUCKING BLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [02:11] YOU USELESS FUCKS FUCKING BLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [02:11] axle guess you reboot then.. or logout and seeif you can unmount the stuff then [02:11] StarTrekkin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:11] cxo, wow I'm not sure why I said that [02:11] cxo, I'm half paying attention and listening to people talk.. my bad [02:11] how do i use backspace to go back one page in firefox????????? [02:11] Delmarc, whats the actual 'needs' however.. :) you just described what you dident want. (in vague terms) :) [02:11] Hi.... I just did system upgrade and wicd was upgraded, now the daemon no longer runs at start up ... how would i make it start? :) thanks === MrCollins|away is now known as MrCollins [02:11] linxuz3r: Type about:config into Firefox [02:12] dr_willis: heh, yeah, it's often easier :op [02:12] anyone have any luck installing a torrent client on smoothwall?

[02:15] Xavura: Or you can create a launcher on the desktop that opens /media/cdrom0 [02:15] !cups | adv_ [02:15] adv_: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[02:21] <_mach> SHUT THE FUCK UP [02:21] *sigh* [02:21] _mach: The only time I've had something like that as a problem is with Gentoo, as for Ubuntu, its never happened to me [02:21] !attitude > _mach [02:21] _mach, please see my private message [02:21] _mach: mind your language in this channel please [02:21] <_mach> Indoctrine: you saw the log? [02:21] Yes its a great british show, try get a copy from your local library [02:21] dr_willis: it says the volume is corrupt... [02:21] _mach the world does not revolve around you :) [02:21] Does anyone know of a program that will enable KDE to use the same GTK and/or Windows settings as GNOME?

[02:22] so anyways, is there a way to preserve the settings i have now? i checked xorg.conf and it doesnt seem to have changed [02:22] mneptok: Oh wait. I don't. Sorry I spoke so soon. :) [02:22] _mach: You're using a PCI wireless card? Or a wireless modem? [02:22] <_mach> MrCollins: it should in a help chan [02:22] been trawling for a couple days now. can not figure out how to fix the mwheel scroll in gnome. it is way too quick and there's nothing I can find to slow it down. anyone have any thoughts? [02:22] Daft_Punk If I knew how to help you I would. Sorry. [02:22] i'll be more specific: i installed ubuntu from the minimal install off a usb flash drive. i have 4 partitions, (1)6gb ubuntu root / (2) 20gb Windows (3) 2gb swap (4) 50gb /home. When I start the computer, Windows starts immediately if I boot from the HD. If I boot from the usb flash drive, I get a grub menu, from which I can load ubuntu with no problems. How can I make grub start without using the flash drive? [02:23] _mach: what should in a help chan? [02:23] <_mach> Indoctrine: pci wireless card. [02:23] well if it happens again how can i manually set the resolution on my monitor? i dont know what to add to the xorg.conf file :( [02:23] _mach: do you realize that NO one gets paid in here to help you? It is out of the goodness of someones heart that you get help? [02:23] God I hope mine doesn't do that when I get around to installing my file server [02:23] <_mach> MrCollins: im placing you on ignore [02:24] Daft_Punk, you cant really force a mode, you could try limit the available modes in xorg.conf or use xrandr on a need-to-need basis [02:24] * MrCollins rejoices [02:24] <_mach> Indoctrine: i really don't get it.

[02:25] demism: alternative, get a dvd player that supports div-x. you can find them really cheap. [02:25] jonhnash: yes. [02:25] it is a crazy why so long time [02:25] <_mach> Indoctrine: if you could show me what you did, maybe i'd find out what im doing wrong. [02:25] MrCollins: what do I need to do so? I have k3b and brasero... [02:25] _mach: For? I haven't set my fileserver up yet. [02:25] Indoctrine: this is an EVDO, not 802.11x, card [02:25] hello parkour68 what is about your projects?

[02:26] <_mach> or haven't you set it up using it [02:26] <_mach> ah. [02:26] <_mach> :( [02:26] Is there a 2.6.26 kernel for 8.04 in the repositories?

[02:28] Oh, so with Ubuntu each kernel version is locked into the release version? I'm used to another distro where the kernel gets updated regularly between releases [02:28] XThief: sqlite uses flat file XML for a datastore [02:28] mneptok sqlite rm ?? [02:28] :( [02:28] RyeBrye: correct, ubuntu releases every 6 months [02:29] XThief: no, "rm /path/to/sqlite/db.xml" [02:29] Does anyone know if there is a way to enable the numlock on bootup by default? === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [02:29] jrib: thanks I'll try that again [02:29] * RyeBrye can either compile his own kernel, or wait for intrepid he supposes to have lm_sensors work on his P5Q deluxe motherboard [02:29] mneptok ok, thanks for the help :D [02:29] does anyone knows how to turn roamiing mode off from networkmanager?

Runs like hell on my 901 with everything working!! [02:31] ANONYMOU5 - umm... do you go into #{insert-religion-here} and ask if they advocate switching to #{religion} from #{other religion}? [02:31] Perhaps. [02:31] ANONYMOU5: no, I wouldn't. I would dual boot, and see where that takes you [02:31] ufa: In the network thing in your System -> Admin [02:31] Religion is BAD! [02:31] jrib: isnt that a security risk? since the cups user can read the shadow file/ [02:31] danbh_intrepid = KNOWS HOW TO RESPOND [02:31] Indoctrine >> i want from CLI [02:31] ANONYMOU5: that's offtopic for a support channel, please use #ubuntu-offtopic [02:31] Imaginary star sticker for you.

[02:34] I think so [02:34] i searching for some .conf files [02:34] glades20, i actually had that problem for the longest time, i had to open ff like 20 times to get it to actually open, [02:35] Xavura the higher the nice the less the process hogs the gpu [02:35] Indoctrine >> i prefer to do it from cli [02:35] glades20, not sure how i fixed it, but i try to keep up with updates [02:35] for some reason :) [02:35] is it possible? [02:35] ufa: Would it not be easier to do it through the GUI? And of course it's possible [02:35] not through ssh] [02:36] well, the only thing that I can think of is possible conflicts between two plugins [02:36] gnome fullscreen games confines the mouse to only part of the screen... anyone handle this?

[03:08] new to irc [03:08] to install Wine I use apt get just type in sudo apt-get install wine [03:08] lubemnky: can you pastebin the error? [03:08] lubemnky: little more info? [03:08] my first time; but don't call me a virgin! [03:08] I'm sure it's just a simple fix, I just don't know what IPs to put in manually, though I do have the windows ones :) [03:08] i wont swear , but 10 hours to get virtualbox and now im told to get WINE... [03:08] OMG [03:08] like sucks [03:09] NicholasJ: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:09] WINE is easy [03:09] life [03:09] NicholasJ: Either will work [03:09] really [03:09] NicholasJ, what are you trying to accomplish?

Your HTML seems fine. Your action however, sends to another text file... Is this file (http://m.mysticgalaxies.com:8080/testce.html) configured to send email based upon your form? [03:09] when i boot my computer, i see the usplash, then i see the nvidia logo, then my login screen and everything is fine (refresh rate of monitor 50hz and size 1024x768) sometimes i start the computer and its just usplash and login (no nvidia splash) and i think the driver is not loading, and the res goes to 800x600. how can i make sure the driver is being loaded properly every time? [03:09] NicholasJ: wine isn't a 100% success story, it's a little more hit and miss. VirtualBox is 100% hit [03:10] Batty4: yes [03:10] Daft Punk, what drivers? [03:10] i just want to use linux as my OS but every now and rhen my friends get me to play a game or too... like call of duty 4 or world of warcraft... and yeah... thats it [03:10] sigh, anyone? I'm sure it's just really really simple [03:10] virtualbox = good... [03:10] NicholasJ- have you got Warcraft installed anywhere already you have access to the program, or do you have to install it from scratch? [03:10] Genizon, i have nvidia MX4000 (96.xx i believe) i used envy [03:10] Daft_Punk: [03:10] wine = not so good..

[03:10] NicholasJ: You got VirtualBox? :) [03:11] NicholasJ: Personally, I'd go with vbox for those [03:11] Nicholas, if you want t play COD4, you wont really get good performance from virtualisation [03:11] Daft_Punk: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [03:11] violetdream: hard to answer a Q you didn't ask (or at least I don't see your Q) [03:11] not yet... i was waiting for the pastebin to load but its not yet [03:11] :( [03:11] Jordan_U, ok just give me a min :) [03:11] if you want fooproff for running games directly under Linux, consider Cedega [03:11] stupid internet [03:11] Batty4: why does it say template not in valid directory [03:11] Oh, I did before but no one answered :) I am trying to connect to my wireless repeater and it won't connect, keeps asking for WPA password [03:11] Connects fine on windows [03:11] how would i delete all of a certain file type from a directory, including its subdirectories? [03:12] violetdream: are you sure it's WPA Personal on your router? [03:12] Well, after I do repair connection, it does have some weird IPs but I'm not sure how to set them manually and when I tried it didn't seem to help [03:12] violetdream: sure you're using the right pass? [03:12] violetdream, sounds like some parameter issue [03:12] john__: The find command [03:12] violetdream: do u have the password? [03:12] Yup [03:12] Yeah I do [03:12] Errors do not appear for no reason. http://archives.devshed.com/forums/www-138/errors-in-cgiemail-1436152.html Check that. [03:12] thanks Jordan_U [03:12] it's what I'm using on this machine (windows) [03:12] NicholasJ: What are you having issues with in vbox? [03:12] The repeater has some weird IPs I had to set [03:12] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/52691/ [03:12] john__: np [03:12] so virtualbox should be in add/remove now... [03:12] john_: you can use rm from a command line, but be extremely careful [03:12] i cant find it [03:13] NicholasJ: did you reload your packages? [03:13] I can give you guys the IPs that windows is reporting [03:13] man... i cant belieeve thats a load of... alot of swear words LOL! [03:13] violetdream, the network manager on ubuntu can be a bit stupid...there are tricks to make it work...I struggled a lot before for no reason...but once it works..it's for good [03:13] nicholasj:is it in synaptic? [03:13] For me virtualbox is under applications [03:13] whats the point of ath0:avahi? I booted up without a network connection, that device configure itself to some foreign ipaddress which iptables on my masquerade considered it a martian source. The main thing is after restoring the connection, i couldn't get ifdown/up or /etc/init.d/networking restart to really do anything with eth0. [03:13] NicholasJ: open synaptic, choose reload, and look for it [03:13] violetdream: does "dmesg" say anything interesting when you try to connect? [03:13] I got a major problem!! Whenever I run synaptic I get this error: [03:13] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [03:13] Jordan_U, my monitor just went all black for 1 second then came back [03:13] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [03:13] Oh great, that's reassuring :) it works fine on my uni's connection [03:13] synaptic... [03:13] What can I do? [03:13] where that at ? [03:13] meoblast001, possibly in /etc/cgiemail.conf you should have a templatedir= directive that points to either the script or form. Make sure it points to the directory. [03:13] how do I check or run dmesg? [03:13] add/remove ? [03:13] violetdream, Just type in dmesg at the shell. [03:13] ok doing that now, thanks :) [03:13] john__: As daddyrabbitt said, be very careful when trying to automate the deletion of files, *there is no undelete for ext3* [03:14] Delmarc: pastebin the output of dpkg --configure -a [03:14] violetdream: from the command line, you type dmesg [03:14] Delmarc: Do what it says. In a terminal, type: sudo dpkg --configure -a [03:14] okay founf synaptic [03:14] Jordan_U: thanks for the warning, i have backups [03:14] let me see if i can find VB [03:14] NicholasJ: good - cause I forgot the default menus [03:14] can someone help me get my dts working [03:14] violetdream, one think I found out is that disabling the wired connexion seems to make it work better [03:14] NicholasJ: make sure to click reload first [03:15] ok I'm trying to connect again and once it gives me the pass popu again I'll run dmesg [03:15] Cool I'll try that as well [03:15] Daft_Punk_: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [03:15] MTecknology... okay [03:15] I mean you'll have better chances to connect [03:15] :) [03:15] john_: I would reccoment running ls and redirecting to a file to verify wehat you are deleting in advance [03:15] sounds easy enough [03:15] hey guys i have a problem, with nvidia restricted drivers, i have no control over double monitors, is their an nvidia control panel i can get? [03:15] lots of "link is not ready" and no IPv6 routers present [03:15] NicholasJ: it's a button in the top left ;) - it's a way to upgrade your system too [03:15] Jordan_U, I am using 8.04 hardy heron [03:15] link is not ready, then link becomes ready [03:15] then no IPv6 routers present [03:15] nicholasj:do a search in the synaptic search box [03:15] :P [03:16] do [03:16] yeah i found it thanks [03:16] NicholasJ: if you click the 3 buttons left to right you wind up with an upgraded system [03:16] okay [03:16] anyone have the answer, an nvidia control panel, dual monitors specifically [03:16] hurray - a help a day keeps the issues away [03:16] How do I turn off eth0 from command line? [03:16] click 3 button left to right... [03:16] and upgraded system... [03:16] or from the network thing, can't figure it out [03:16] vorian: ifconfig eth0 down [03:16] okay.... [03:16] you have all the updates for you nvidia card? [03:16] NicholasJ: everything up to date - update-manager does the same [03:16] !twinview |velros_ [03:16] velros_: twinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings [03:17] valros, sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings; gksu nvidia-settings Should be able to setup double monitors from there. Will have to reset X with ctrl+alt+backspace after the first command though. [03:17] ok done [03:17] going to try to connect on wireless again [03:17] k, will try, thx [03:17] bobertdos: twinview is also deprecated in favor of xrandr [03:18] tritium: ah yes, right ;) [03:18] I had the weirdest thing happen today, I tried to upgrade my system, and got the message "too many clients open in your x server" and I only had 5 apps open, I rebooted and everything was fine, but does anyone know why? [03:18] doing the same things, link not ready, link becomes ready, and no IPv6 routers present [03:18] Not sure what those mean [03:18] bobertdos: :) [03:18] okay i got like 1000 things that say virtualbox on it... [03:18] what one do i click ? [03:18] all of them ? [03:18] just virtualbox [03:18] nicholasj:the first one [03:19] NicholasJ, a bunch say mods right/ [03:19] yeah a bunch say mods [03:19] what that ati link again [03:19] the first 2 dont tho... [03:19] !ati [03:19] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:19] thanx [03:20] NicholasJ: you want "virtualbox" [03:20] NicholasJ: everything else get's selected when you choose that [03:20] NicholasJ: virtualbox-ose [03:20] lol i found this pc in the trash had blue death screen only one way to fix that [03:20] virtualbox - ose or virtualbox-ose-dbg ? [03:21] okay ose it is ! [03:21] ok resetting the session before and after enabling the second screen does nothing, reverts back to disabling it [03:21] how do i find out if my xbunto network card is using dhcp with right subnet mask [03:21] ifconfig [03:21] could i just mark all upgrades ? [03:21] NicholasJ: after installing it - configuring it and and running it is very comparable to vmware [03:21] xubunto [03:21] NicholasJ: ya [03:21] and just go with it ? [03:21] the subnet mask is assigned by the dhcp server [03:21] NicholasJ: you can do both at the same time [03:22] cxo if the card is set to static ip address ...? [03:22] vmware ? whats vmware ? [03:22] Are there any video editing software packages as advanced as Sony Vegas that are available on Linux? Just curious if anyone is into that. [03:22] !vmware [03:22] 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 [03:22] Tim, you want to know if the card got its ip from the dhcp server or if you set it manually? [03:22] !dts [03:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about dts [03:22] yes indeed cxo [03:22] oh okay [03:23] i guess that is what vmware is... [03:23] i have searchin for that truth for many days:cxo [03:23] :) [03:23] !lost! [03:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about lost! [03:23] im trying to install vmware in ubuntu and i went to the terminal and typed "chmod +x vmware-install.pl && ./vmware-install.pl what am i doing wrong? [03:23] NicholasJ, with VMWare you can actually install Linux inside of Windows, and Windows inside of Linux. Kind of cool. [03:23] ubottu... you know nothing about lost i see that ! [03:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:23] ASrock: do you get an error message? [03:24] lol [03:24] that is kinda cool batty4 === digitalvectorz is now known as digitalvectorz|s [03:24] Tim, in linux there isnt a way to tell that information, because of the way things are modularised, the dhcp client process on your pc uses the same method to set the ip as you would, easiest way i would see is, ifconfig eth0 down, and run dhclient [03:24] adalgiso: yep it tells me to rerun as super user although i have done the same command with sudo in front of it and supplied the correct password [03:24] hey guys [03:24] I used to use something that was really slow, I think it was virtualpc. Took like 7 hours for a Slackware installation. [03:24] ASrock: try just separating the commands and "sudo"ing each of them [03:25] wow batty4 [03:25] ok [03:25] soo... how can i learn about ubuntu ? [03:25] youtube [03:25] through my dlink router, to torrent Ubuntu, would i get faster performance by using the "port forwarding option" for 6881 tcp or the virtual server option for 6881 tcp [03:25] NicholasJ: hang out here [03:25] ifconfig: cxo [03:25] like all this update and stuff and this and that [03:25] ASrock: alternatively, you can install vmware with apt or synaptic [03:25] okay i can hang out here... [03:25] this is easy [03:25] pikeshouse88: Portforwarding the correct ports sometimes gets you a faster connection. [03:25] im stuck in iraq... [03:25] going home in... [03:26] Tim, ifconfig does not show how the address was assigned [03:26] 17 days [03:26] i can stay here untill then [03:26] LOL I fail, I asked for something equivalent to Sony Vegas for Linux, then tried a quick search, first result mentions Cinelerra. [03:26] adalgiso: ok now im getting "sudo: unable to resolve host novacomp" (novacomp is what i named my computer) [03:26] NicholasJ: are you allowed to say where? Ive got some friends there now [03:26] Gr33n3gg: should i portforward 6881-6890 for faster downloads? [03:26] yes i just did it:cxo [03:26] or just 6881 [03:26] adalgiso: i cant find vmware in synaptic [03:26] cxo i am trying to connect to internet using adsl rounter [03:26] adalgiso what ? [03:26] !ping [03:26] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [03:26] <_haywire_> Ping Reply ancientadm  1 Second Pingy o'Meter [03:26] pikeshouse88: Doesn't matter what port. Whatever port your torrent client is using. [03:26] yeah i can stay here in this IRC thingy... [03:27] Tim, i think you are confused. ifconfig will show you WHAT the addresses are., not HOW they were set [03:27] !whois sugi [03:27] it connected last night to the isp server...i could browse the internet [03:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about whois sugi [03:27] NicholasJ: are you allowed to say where you are in Iraq? I have some friends in the Marine Corps who are in Iraq now. [03:27] i got nothing to do for the next 17 days... i go home soon... [03:27] Is the no ipv6 routers present thing a problem? is that's what's causing the issue? [03:27] yeah im in iraq too... i just did a 15 month deployment.... [03:27] please help im losing my mind..... how do i make sendmail send over a port higher than 6000 [03:27] in windows world u would set the card to dhcp:cxo [03:27] i have webmin if it makes it any easier [03:27] waiting for the bird to fly me outta here [03:27] ASrock: hmmm im out of ideas, which distro are you using? [03:28] ok, how do i put myself in the sudoers file [03:28] valros_: add the user to the admin group [03:28] Tim, in linux you would use dhclient, a script that sends a broadcast packet and reads the reply and sets the ip-address for you, no magic [03:28] adalgiso: ubuntu [03:28] meoblast001: interesting, you've hit the hardcoded sendmail port limit... [03:28] good night everyone,nicholasj, be safe [03:29] goodnight [03:29] thiebaude [03:29] ASrock: I ask because thats a very strange error message. I've never run into that before when installing vmware [03:29] how do i run an sh file that is not a shell script? [03:29] cxo do u need to run dhcp client in order to use dsl light (adsl rounter):cxo [03:29] ASrock try opening a terminal and doing sudo apt-get install vmware-server [03:29] Indoctrine... so anything i could ever want for Ubuntu, is in add/remove or synaptic ? [03:30] woli: it would need a .sh extension. [03:30] any xen users here? [03:30] nicholasj: yes, as long as you have the right repositories [03:30] Tigge, yes, but if you use the gui or the services part of the distro, you dont need to run dhclient manually [03:30] adalgiso: im trying to install workstation [03:30] what is a repositorie ? [03:30] Gr33n3gg: it has, but i cannot run it [03:30] !repository [03:30] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [03:30] NicholasJ: the repos tell your computer where to download programs from and what dependencies exist [03:30] vmware is not open source. [03:30] NicholasJ: a source of software packages [03:30] awww the bot didnt work [03:30] adalgiso: would sudo apt-get install vmware-workstation work [03:31] woli: You gotta set the right permissions. Usually you can right click on it and in the properties set it as executable. [03:31] okay so to get them all i got to do it reload right ? [03:31] NicholasJ: it did work [03:31] ancientadm: wtf... all i know is my ISP has limits on ports [03:31] ASrock: specifically, vmware workstation is OS X software [03:31] i've done this before [03:31] or sudo chmod 0777 [03:31] i want to do it again [03:31] oh [03:31] ASrock: you want vmware server, which will let your run other OS's at the same time [03:31] virtualbox should work just fine [03:31] ok [03:31] meoblast001: oh, so its your ISP that has a limit, and you want to go around that? [03:31] yeah the bot did work thats freaking awesome! [03:31] I tried restarting all the networking and ti's still not working [03:32] ancientadm: yes... i did this when i had fedora but cant remember how [03:32] adalgiso: well the way i was trying before seemed like it suddenly worked [03:32] please help all i want to do is go to bed [03:32] adalgiso: thanks anyway though [03:32] ASrock: y/w [03:32] Gr33n3gg: i am refering to a compressed sh file [03:32] meoblast001 [03:32] anyone able to get deskbar applet to search firefox bookmarks? [03:32] i can help you with that! [03:32] ok thanx [03:32] see the button ? [03:32] woli: Compressed shell script....? Uhh perhaps Google your problem. [03:32] what button? [03:32] heh #ubuntu is really a something for some people [03:33] just push it man... just push it [03:33] stfu [03:33] I just saw a link online about another person having problems with their wireless repeater on ubuntu forms but it was never solved [03:33] lol [03:33] Gr33n3gg: not compressed shell script, compressed file, like zip or tarball [03:33] lol [03:33] oops [03:33] i pissed him off [03:33] woli: Ohhh. Just extract the archive then. [03:33] Firefox is defaulting to google.es when I use the searchbar - anyone know why? [03:33] woli: tar xvzf yourfile [03:33] thanks adalgiso [03:33] Indeed. [03:34] SimonPhoto: go to preferences on the google page and change that [03:34] carandraug: Unlikely to be a system settings issue, then? [03:34] woli: are you trying to make a zip or tar file executable in linux? [03:34] meoblast001, ISPs generally block 1-2 of ports 25, 26, and generally recommend 587 if they block it. Also you may need to figure out your ISPs recommended SMTP servers. [03:34] Help --- In my PERL Webcrawling script i call: my $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $URL); but my script fails and says -- "500 Can't connect to www.perl.com:80 (connect: No route to host)" Any Ideas??? [03:34] hi [03:34] ancientadm: i am trying to opened a compressed sh(ar) file === pawan1 is now known as pawan [03:35] but the tar xvzf did not succeed [03:35] dan_, try #perl [03:35] woli: what was the error? [03:35] Batty4: i know you can send email out of any port right? just accept from a specific port [03:35] thats what i need [03:35] Could someone just go through this with me really fast, I have the IP, DNS, DHCP, gateway, everything on windows [03:35] SimonPhoto: change the interface language. It will still give google.es but your results will be from the google.com [03:35] something over 6 thousand something [03:35] But ubuntu is not picking it up [03:35] woli: Shar (type "sh filename.shar" to unpack [03:35] Automatically, so I need some way to input these values, I tried to do it manually but I may have done it wrong or it was not working [03:35] Is this a known issue, or jsut me? [03:35] meoblast001, chances are you have to select the port to send from your server-side cgiemail script. [03:36] woli: from Google [03:36] gzip: stdin: not in gzip format [03:36] tar: Child returned status 1 [03:36] tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [03:36] violetdream: is this a fresh install or upgrade [03:36] SimonPhoto: I think gogle redirects according to your IP [03:36] gonna try that sh thing... [03:36] fresh install [03:36] Batty4: no.. you select this in Sendmail.. thats 1 thing i remember [03:36] violetdream: is your router a windows box? o_o [03:36] No [03:36] It is a wireless repeater [03:36] adalgiso: thanks! that worked [03:36] SimonPhoto: when I took my computer to other countries, it uses the google from that country [03:36] a router running ddwrt [03:36] thank you. Although no one in 50 miles of me speaks spanish :) [03:36] anyone here use virtualbox ? === root is now known as Guest29627 [03:36] woli: yep. tar wouldnt work becuase I thought you were dealing with a .tar.gz file [03:36] violetdream: so ubuntu is not picking up the signal u're saying? [03:37] NicholasJ: I do. [03:37] It is picking up the signal [03:37] I just cannot connect [03:37] whats a name i should give to the virtual machine ? [03:37] SimonPhoto: did someone used gmail in spanish? [03:37] k [03:37] it repeatedly asks for the WPA password, which is correct [03:37] has anyone ever tried installing a torrent client on smoothwall or can someone point me to a howto on this please? [03:37] would Nick work ? [03:37] Magvier [03:37] Q: how do i link "find" with "rm"? I'd like to delete all files that match "find" [03:37] violetdream: "just cannot connect" could mean a lot of things. =( [03:37] or should i name it something like windows virtual machine ? [03:37] j #cinelerra-br [03:37] carandraug: nope [03:37] violetdream: oh there [03:37] It cannot connect, as in, it repeatedly asks for a WPA password even though it is correct [03:38] Guest29627, find /here -name blah.exe -exec rm '{}'\; [03:38] NicholasJ: I woudl name it according to the OS you're going to install, and its purpose. It only matters to you, though [03:38] Also I have all of the DNS, gateway, etc that windows is finding when it connects [03:38] Anybody: has anyone done the update from 6.06 to 8.04? Is it safe to install over the top?? Are all conf preserved???\ [03:38] which I think ubuntu is not picking up, it is a bit strange due to being a repeater [03:38] oh okay [03:38] NicholasJ: a rose by any other name would smell as sweet [03:38] NicholasJ:I have about 15 VMs, so naming is important. If you have only 1, its not a big deal at all. [03:38] cxo: is there an easier way? like find xargs | rm ? [03:39] SimonPhoto: hmm, that's strange indeed. Well, in preferences change the interfcae language. It will use .es but everything will look in neglish. I would ask google about that [03:39] ancientadm ? whats that suppose to mean [03:39] Guest29627, easier? thats more complex [03:39] I used this tutorial to configure my repeater (same IPs and everything) http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3655041 [03:39] NicholasJ: it means what SimonPhoto said [03:39] connected to it right now on this windows machine [03:39] carandraug: I can live with it. [03:39] cxo: ill give it a try. thanks! [03:39] oh well ill name it FunBox :p [03:39] hehehe [03:39] eth0, eth0:avahi, wlan0.......which one of those would be my wireless pci card? [03:39] oh okay [03:39] NicholasJ: That's what I call my girlfriend [03:39] NicholasJ: That'll work =) [03:40] and with that, I'm out. Later all, and htanks :) [03:40] Anybody: has anyone done the update from 6.06 to 8.04? Is it safe to install over the top?? Are all conf preserved??? [03:40] Guest29627, i had a small typo, you need a space between '{}' and \; [03:40] evolution will receive from gmail but wont send please help [03:40] yeah i call my wife bj [03:40] what package has all the necessary tools for compiling? [03:40] :p [03:40] simonphoto, not appreciated :( [03:40] garyc: not all confs are preserved but the upgrade will try to merge it if you want [03:40] mindframe: build-essential [03:40] ASrock: do ifconfig /all [03:40] Guys please stop with the misogyny [03:41] garyc: for example, my boot/grub/menu.lst got whacked. [03:41] adalgiso: what does that do? [03:41] violetdream: try changing from wpa to wep and give that a try [03:41] ASrock: it will list your network devices [03:41] ASrock: yeah, and in detail too [03:41] ASrock: one of the ones in the list will be your ethernet card, and one will be your wifi card [03:41] Escriba el texto aquí.... HOLA HOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA [03:41] I can't change the actual settings on the router easily [03:41] bump [03:41] !es | JUAMPI [03:41] JUAMPI: 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. [03:41] It's WPA right now and it's going to stay that way [03:41] JUAMPI: hola. No habla. [03:42] adalgiso: i get "/all: error fetching interface information: Device not found" [03:42] adalgiso: This isn't windows :) [03:42] nevermind, i got it [03:42] violetdream: can't u access the router settings from your browser? [03:42] I found one package that has a dependencie not listed as such. The package in question is a front-end for MPD and installing the front-end doesn't install MPD. I think that's a bit like installing SMplayer and not have Mplayer has dependencie. Where should I report this? [03:42] Jordan_U haha, youre right. I deal with windows tech support on a day-to-day basis [03:42] ancientadm: will my apache and smb come through working or do I need to save the conf and expect to redo [03:42] I can, but I want to keep them the same, and it is working on this connection, I know it is not a problem with the router, it's a problem with the settings in ubuntu [03:42] ASrock my bad, its ipconfig /all [03:42] simonphoto... i only got 1 gig of RAM... how many gigs should i allocate to the VirtualBox ? [03:42] dronix: violetdream won't be able to, unless he was connected in the first place. WPA handshake's not complete [03:43] and still be safe [03:43] ASrock: i gave you the Windows version of that command [03:43] ancientadm: *she* [03:43] !bugs | carandraug [03:43] carandraug: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [03:43] violetdream: oops. "she" [03:43] adalgiso: ipconfig tells me command not found [03:43] I can change it from this connection, but I do not want to [03:43] HOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA [03:43] ipconfig is a Windows command [03:44] ancientadm: is there an upgrade good doc [03:44] hmm, my tech support skills are failing me [03:44] garyc: can't guarantee, sorry. But your instinct of making backups has never been wrong. [03:44] ifconfig is the Linux command, right? [03:44] Jordan_U: should it be considered a bug? You can still install and open the front-end but it's useless 'cos it's front-ending nothing [03:44] i tried ifconfig without /all and it listed them and told me what ones had what ip's and subnet mask and stuff...but not where they are plugged in or anything [03:44] adalgiso: yes, ifconfig is a Linux command [03:44] ASrock: it's "ifconfig -a" [03:44] dronix: yes, ipconfig is a windows command [03:44] if I was a tool and did chown -R someuser.somegroup in /var ... woops... is there a utliity in ubuntu to fix all the perms ? [03:44] anyone here use virtualbox ? [03:45] violetdream: I'm searching [03:45] Zamt: you want to undo? [03:45] thanks dronix :) [03:45] my fault, like i said, windows support is my job, gets mixed into my linux sometimes [03:45] or set them to the default [03:45] dronix, I can also gie you all of the IP, gateway, etc that windows is using to connect [03:45] !comfort | adalgiso [03:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about comfort [03:45] I did chown root.root * in /var [03:45] im going to load vista into a virtalbox... how many mega os RAM should i allocate to run it safely ? [03:45] but I know they aren't all owned by root.root by default [03:45] thanks ancientadm [03:45] I won't need that [03:46] #import linux-skills [03:46] I think its something with you wireless drive in ubuntu, it always happens to me on a fresh install [03:46] adalgiso: didn't do much. still, don't forget to #import correct parameters [03:46] Zamt: i don't think there's a way to undo that. [03:47] how do i change the port sendmail sends on? [03:47] dronix: hmm, could be, however it works fine on my uni connection and was working before the fresh install [03:47] damit [03:47] Zamt: don't change permissions on system files [03:47] oh [03:47] NicholasJ if all you have is 1gig, then i would recommend running vista in virtualbox [03:47] dronix: I'm willing to bet it's something to do with this repeater, it does have weird IPs and gateways set on it [03:47] yes I know I was trying to chown /var/www to www-data so some web stuff would work right [03:47] tritium: i belive he did so from the root dir [03:47] is it possible to set-up firefox to go back a page using the backspace button?? [03:47] I was in the wrong dir :-( [03:47] and its all static right? [03:47] Zamt: boom, baby. [03:48] at least it wasn't in / [03:48] Zamt: you used sudo? [03:48] :-( [03:48] no [03:48] dronix: not sure how woudl I check that? right now it's obtaining stuff automatically on ubuntu [03:48] Zamt: then it should not have changed anything. [03:48] dronix: tried to set it manually, but I may have messed up or it didn't work [03:49] I had done sudo su - [03:49] I mean the repeater, its using dhcp or a static ip [03:49] dronix: "static" as opposed to "dynamic" IP allocation, right? [03:49] Zamt: you serve as an example of why we recommend sudo [03:49] yes [03:49] yes [03:49] Ohh, err, I'm not sure how to check that. I think it's static: following this guide http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3655041 [03:49] the IPs are the same as in this guide [03:49] Otherwise it would interfere with the host router [03:49] I got tired of typing sudo for the last 3 hours... maybe I should sysadmin when I'm tired [03:49] lol [03:50] violetdream: ok, I'm gonna take a look at that [03:50] violetdream: do you have a workstation that CAN connect? [03:50] yes, I can connect from here [03:50] but I do not want to change any settings, last time I did that I had to go into my landlord's house and mess with it for hal fan hour :( [03:50] someone said my name? [03:51] sugi: yup, everything alright with your alias + script ? [03:51] hello. i have a 512 mb ram and a p4 processor. Will virtual box work perfectly? [03:51] ancientadm: can you PM me [03:51] ? [03:51] violetdream: so you have 2 workstations, one that CAN connect, and an Ubuntu that won't...ya? [03:52] ancientadm: yes that is correct, this is from the one that can connect - it's a windows machine that doesn't intially connect but when I do "repair connection" it gets it right [03:52] qwerty121: what do you want to do with it? [03:53] ummm anyone got virtualbox ? [03:53] i need to figuresomething out now [03:53] violetdream: yeah, i bet if i could see what happens when i click "repair connection" i could help you tons.... [03:53] my brain is going to explode [03:54] ancientadm: i want to run ubuntu in it... [03:54] violetdream: does ubuntu give you any error after you enter the password? [03:54] qwerty121: have you tried installing? [03:54] No error, just keeps asking for the password over and over, something about no IPv6 routers present with dmseg or whatever [03:54] why is amarok so damn slow? [03:54] ancientadm: nope. i just want some suggestion [03:55] speener: you have a damn slow computer? [03:55] ancientadm: yeah that would be nice, it's kind of magical on windows haha...I *do* have all the IPs, gateway, etc that it assigned for it to work on this connection tho [03:55] zcat[1]: no... [03:55] hmmm [03:55] violetdream: what's your wireless card? [03:56] if I had used sudo it wouldn't have changed that I was in teh wrong dir [03:56] qwerty121: you could still install it... then feel for yourself if the speed is up to it. Ubuntu doesn't need much to run... unless you're in for the eye candy... [03:56] it's using a modified madwifi, the card that comes with the eee pc [03:56] dronix: good angle... possible firmware issue? [03:56] amarok runs fine on my laptop [03:56] if you do sudo chown someuser.somegroup -R * in the wrong directory it'll prompt you for a password but if you're in the wrong dir it'll still the wrong dir [03:56] which *does* work with my uni connection, is not just broken [03:56] i hate amarok [03:56] audacious is much better...simple [03:56] ancientadm: ..maybe yeah [03:57] unless sudo gives you "undo" [03:57] bah, I used to run compiz on a 800mhz machine with an nvidia mx440 card.. and it was 'fast enough' for most things [03:57] i like having an equalizer [03:57] if i shut down properly and start the computer properly, why does it sometimes say "routine check of hard drives, press ESC to cancel" when i boot? (it doesnt happen all the time but enough to make it an issue?) [03:57] for your reciever? [03:57] Daft_Punk, every X reboot the OS does a fsck [03:57] violetdream: read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=222010 [03:58] Daft_Punk: it checks every 20 boots or once a month, just in case.. [03:58] violetdream: try the last post [03:58] Daft_Punk, you can tune that, but I don't remember how :) [03:58] Daft_Punk: tune2fs [03:58] zcat[1], oh, lol i didn't think it has been 20 boots yet :( [03:58] thanks zcat[1] [03:58] dronix: saw it, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WiFiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide is a broken link [03:58] unless I can just do the blacklist ipv6 thing [03:58] violetdream: lol k, I'll keep looking [03:58] * Daft_Punk_ disappears *POOF* [03:59] dronix: hehe thanks [03:59] ancientadm: no, i am not out for looks [03:59] nobody there have used arpack++? [03:59] qwerty121: do you need to run graphic applications? [03:59] I think it's broken [03:59] qwerty121: or are you alright running it as a server? [04:00] violetdream: that wireless card is an atheros wlan rignt? [04:01] can anyone tell me how to find out what wireless card i have in my laptop? [04:01] violetdream: woot, using a EEE... [04:01] dronix: yes it is..I really don't think it's a prob with this though, look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=932826 [04:01] ancientadm: :) it's for taking notes [04:01] umphrey: are you using Ubuntu ? [04:02] yes [04:02] violetdream: and it should work fine.... [04:02] dronix: i just edited blacklist, and I'm restarting [04:02] i can't log into my encrypted wifi network. never had a prob with my girlfriend's Vista computer. but i can log into like all of the 8 other networks around my place. is this a wep problem? [04:02] k [04:03] arpack++ is broken [04:03] yeah i just encrypted my wireless today a few hours ago, you'll probably need the "key" and SSID name [04:03] I have the key and essid name [04:03] I'm wondering how it can be in the ubuntu repository [04:03] it never lets me in [04:04] umphrey: lspci may show you, not always though [04:04] dronix: same thing with the requesting password [04:04] ancientadm: the latter: a server [04:05] Does anyone know of a webcam capturing program that works with ftp?

I can't reach it from here, hence the repeater -_- [04:06] violetdream: I don't think it supports ftp, or automatic capture. [04:06] youknowme: there is another one, let me check really fast..what was it.. [04:06] qwerty121: that should not be a problem then. P4 with 512 RAM? Enjoy! [04:06] it might be a WEP issue like u said, where you'll need their network's "key" or "passphrase" and "SSID" of their network [04:06] nobody has a protected network...humans... [04:07] I have all of that though [04:07] thats the reason why I encrypted mine today, 128bits of kickazz [04:07] ohhh [04:07] does anyone know if u can get ubuntu mobile to run on a sidekick id?

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//dev/zero for reasons why. === tonsofpc1 is now known as tonsofpcs [04:14] youknowme: it may have been camstream [04:15] I don't think it's silly, I understand your situation perfectly [04:15] I just forced myself to get into the habit of using shift-delete and shift-insert for cut and paste [04:15] dronix: going to try this fix right now, hopefully it's related [04:15] alright [04:15] I'm just asking something that's puzzled me for the six years I've used unix. I mean, ubuntu's the friendliest damn distro, seems like it could do it for giggles. [04:15] I think it's pretty silly to make ctrl-x be quit.. I mean, why? [04:15] I know this is going to make me sound like an ancient but....can anyone recommend a decent MU* client for Linux? [04:16] /dev/zero is awesome, I agree. /dev/one would be awesome(/dev/zero)++, surely. [04:16] MU* ? [04:16] violetdream: Ah, I'll check it out. I'm looking at camE now, idk how good tho. Thanks! [04:16] ancientadm: You know...MUDs, MOOs, MUSHs. [04:17] Hi - Firefox is set to automatically save PDF files. How do I make it give me the choice back, or always open it in Evince? [04:17] whoaaah Bo-, that takes me back [04:17] Bo-: oh... chatrooms. [04:17] dronix: Oh, I'm using eeexubuntu, that's for default (read: crappy) xanadros === freqk|away is now known as freqk [04:17] can't you just ssh into some MUDs? [04:17] zorlan: Haha yea. I'm not even that old, just happened to get into MUDs at an early age and never looked back. [04:17] Bo-, I would always just use telnet. [04:17] violetdream: good for you, i agree the xandros sux [04:18] I would, but I've been spoiled by the likes of zMud and Atlantis. Anything graphical around? [04:18] Berto: there's a few ways; simplest is probably to install something like the PDF Download plugin. [04:18] ancientadm: even worse on eee, it's like for 4 year olds...even advanced mode you couldn't do anything! [04:18] Though it'd probably be simpler if we had a /dev/one. [04:18] have you checked the repository Bo-? [04:18] Bo-, might want to google it. I remember there are a few out there. [04:18] bo-: I know some, hang on [04:18] violetdream: you just hit ctrl-alt-t and get a terminal and fullscreen it. Done. [04:18] jamesish, are you serious? I dont need more plugins. Isn't there just an option? [04:18] I'm searching, my problem is I don't know where to start as far as quality goes. [04:18] Bo-: try tintin++, if you want old school [04:18] violetdream: you betcha! i couldn't even connect to it using my Ubuntu lappy via a Xover CAT5 <_< [04:19] i mean SSH to it <_< [04:19] i only managed to find gnome-mud [04:19] bo-: without a gui...trying to remember the gui ones out there [04:19] Bo-: tintin++ is really good, tho [04:19] jamesish, how about you dig out the source code to /dev/zero, and just make a new one. I'm guessing the differences are small. =) [04:19] violetdream: I play Achaea, so I need something pretty heavy. [04:19] Bo-: Haha I used to play that [04:19] Bo-: actually in that case it would be better, guis tend to slow things down with all those afflictions spam [04:20] ooh, shoutout: anyone here still play Larn? [04:20] Cool, I'll give it a shot. [04:20] TroubleHelix: well, I was considering it. I'm taking a look at the /dev filesystem to see where the devices are spawned, then I may well do that. I bet it's just a while loop in C or something. [04:20] wow...mysql really does make a difference in amarok... [04:20] Then I'll compile it and add it to the file system, and I will have the greatest linux ever released. [04:20] ancientadm: is there a way that I can try to connect to the network explicitly giving it IPs, gateways, dhcp, etc? [04:20] Bar none. [04:20] Tin-tin available through apt? [04:21] violetdream: sounds like you want to look up static addressing. Fairly simple in ubuntu, just involves editing one file. [04:21] Bo-: should be, think it's one word? if not you can just get one easy precompiled app, http://tintin.sourceforge.net/ [04:21] Of course, if that one file were /dev/one then it'd be even easier. [04:21] Is there a way to speed up ubuntu in recognizing a wireless network? I notice there is a 1-2 minute delay sometimes....it's not really a big issue but I had to ask [04:22] speener: in a positive or negative way? [04:22] jamesish: cool, what do I need to change [04:22] redwidow: static addressing for you, too. It'd solve ti all. [04:22] violetdream: Close. It's tintin++ [04:22] bobertdos: positive...it's much faster [04:22] specially when searching for a song... [04:22] redwidow, if you know all the details of the network, you could make a script that sets it up (ifconfig, iwconfig, etc.). I use that on my laptop. [04:22] Bo-: whoops! hope you like it in any case. if you prefer guis I think I might have some up my sleeve but they're slower for sure [04:22] violetdream: err giving the EEE a static IP is great.... make sure its also the same subnet... but if your router/repeaters are using DHCP then you shouldn't need to worry about static IPs on your EEE... The current challenge seems to be WPA authentication between you and the repeater/router [04:22] speener: Did it take very long to configure? [04:23] violetdream: /etc/network/interfaces -- just read man interfaces to see the options, or look up static addressing within the google. [04:23] Now I just gotta figure out how to get it on the Applications menu, heh. [04:23] bobertdos: nope... [04:23] 3 minutes [04:23] ancientadm: it's got a weird subnet which is not default...dhcp gateway,dns is all 10.0.01 [04:23] 10.0.0.1 rather [04:24] bobertdos: http://mikesubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-to-set-up-mysql-database-in-amarok.html [04:24] 1 [04:24] speener: much obliged, sir :) [04:24] i dont have much experience with ubuntu, how do i install the new version of firefox 3. also, why is my internet so slow [04:24] bobertdos: check that site out, it gives shows you how to do it [04:24] Bo-: should be relatively simple to do http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-add-entries-in-gnome-menu.html [04:24] nop [04:24] *np [04:24] conqueros [04:24] GUERRERO SEES THE VALUE IN /DEV/ONE [04:24] okay, i might leave that for my downtime tommorrow, i have to learn scripts first... [04:25] redwidow: what you mean by learn scripts? If it's just bash scripting, the advanced bash scripting guide is the best place to start and finish. [04:25] errr that DNS is the local [04:25] redwidow: that's taught me more than any other document out there. [04:25] local adapter. [04:25] oh. wait. [04:25] 10.0.0.1 ? [04:25] that IS wierd. [04:25] ancientadm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:26] FloodBot1: sorry, bot. Sorry everyone [04:26] I've run a2enmod rewrite and reloaded apache, byt rewrites still dont work =( [04:26] ohh, I thought it was more involved, I'm a bio-science guy, not up to date on the terminology here...i'll have a looksee at that [04:26] lol [04:26] ancientadm: what's weird about 10.0.0.1? It's one of the private networks set aside by the RFCs. [04:27] how do i access a normal users screen session as root [04:27] violetdream: Since you seem familiar with it, is there any way to save a session permanently, so I don't have to retype the connection every time? [04:27] ancientadm: yeah it is a hack to get it working and not interfere with hot router [04:27] jamesish: yes, but it represents a huuuuuuge number of hosts. [04:27] ephesius: do you mean GNU/screen or just how to look at what's going on on their box? [04:27] bo-: you can put it in an alias, check out #help with aliases... [04:27] GUN/screen [04:27] Ok I edted the interfaces file, do I have to restart? [04:27] ancientadm: yeah, but no reason not to use it. I have alittle network of twenty boxes where I use it. It doesn't get enough love with the big ho down that's 192.168.x.x [04:28] violetdream: there's a specifc command for restarting. [04:28] violetdream: it's something like sudo ifdown && sudo ifup [04:28] hello im looking for libdvdcss2 but cant find it in the repo [04:28] any idea where to find it? [04:28] How clean are Ubuntu uninistalls generally? [04:29] violetdream: yeah you don't need to restart... but since i can't remember the command either, you could do that too. =) [04:29] haha let me see I think I rembmer this too [04:29] violetdream: from the bottom of ma interfaces SEE ALSO [04:29] ifup(8), iwconfig(8), run-parts(8). [04:29] I'm having issues with ubuntu recognizing my DVD+RW. It seems to think it's SCSI and not a DVDRW [04:29] did you check your bios [04:29] violetdream: and from my history sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 [04:29] ill_phaze: the SCSI means it detects how the drive is connected... [04:29] I specified the interface. [04:30] ill_phaze: it should still work as a DVDRW [04:30] jamesish: thanks it was giving me some probl-laymes so I'm restarting ;) [04:30] Rev: I think it's in multiverse. [04:30] violetdream: what problems? [04:30] ancientadm: It will read DVDs but when I put a blank disc in the drive it isn't mounted or recognized. [04:30] violetdream: they might actually be something we need to diagnose. [04:30] jamesish: something like interface not configured? let's see if the restart helped though [04:30] jamesish: oops didn't think of that [04:30] violetdream: don't. [04:30] jamesish: ack I already did!! eek [04:30] violetdream: it means there's an error in the file. [04:30] jamesish: uh oh [04:31] How do I install Google earth on Ubuntu 8.04 [04:31] AllNewToMe: don't [04:31] I hear Automatix2 makes it really easy. [04:31] violetdream: ah well, it'll take some time to come up if you're trying to contact an ntp server. This is how we learn, though, by screwing it up ;) [04:31] ill_phaze: you mean it isn't mounted or recognized as blank? What burning software are you using? [04:31] !automatix [04:31] Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported, or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubottu WorksForMe » [04:31] !medibuntu | AllNewToMe [04:31] AllNewToMe: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [04:31] It's not mounted and it's not recognizing. I'm using brasero disc burning [04:31] Bo-: that's one smart bot o_o [04:31] Uhh, why not?? [04:31] this has nothing to do with ubuntu but "it gives u beans" see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI [04:32] How can I make emerald my primary...so that it runs emerald without a terminal window, and automatically every time I login [04:32] ancientadm: I'm just going off of what I've read from the various "# best apps for Ubuntu!" pages. :P [04:33] help please i'm having trouble dual booting xp and ubuntu === dmsuperman_ is now known as dmsuperman [04:33] i installed xp first and ubuntu then [04:33] anyone know what the "system setting" in Ibex's network manager does? [04:33] Geboy: whats the problem? [04:33] jamesish: blah now the wireless isn't even showing up [04:33] !ibex | keldrum [04:33] keldrum: 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! [04:34] grub loader comes out after installation of ubuntu, but when i tried to boot to xp, it said that invalid [04:34] violetdream: yep. [04:34] you need to reinstall [04:34] jamesish: let me change the file back [04:34] ubottu: I kn, running the alpha now - any ideas? [04:34] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:34] violetdream: paste your attempted config somewhere. We'll troubleshoot it. [04:34] Geboy: seems like you messed up your xp partition, do a repair install for xp [04:35] the funny thing is, when i have my xp cd in the drive, i am able to boot to xp [04:35] keldrum: try /join #ubuntu+1 in your irc client [04:35] Geboy: I had the issue when I tried it on my laptop, I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out how I fixed it. [04:35] you need to configure grub [04:35] when i try to boot again without the cd it said it is invalid entry [04:35] Geboy, I think you may be able to reinstall grub using the Ubuntu alternate boot CD. Try on google for a tutorial maybe. [04:35] I had: ifface ath0 inet static, address 10.0.0.116, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway 10.0.0.1 [04:35] all on different lines [04:35] you need to install windows first and then ubuntu [04:35] danbh_intrepid:will do, thanks! [04:35] BO-: have you manageit? [04:35] violetdream: them atheros cards have irritating firmware -_- couldn't get them to work before Gutsy =S [04:35] iface, rather [04:35] sorry [04:36] dronix:i have gone to the recovery console and typed fixboot and restart [04:36] violetdream: you had a typo with too many fs in iface, for one. [04:36] Geboy: can you pastebin the results of blkid and the contents of your /boot/grub/menu.lst? [04:36] ancientadm: uh oh, I may only have hardy on this one, blah whole point of all this is up grading [04:36] violetdream: here's mine, take a look at it http://pastebin.com/d343ae3dd [04:36] jamesish: sorry that was a typo in this box [04:36] Geboy: No I don't. [04:36] thanks let me see [04:36] violetdream: remember to retain the auto line; it controls whether the device is powered on at boot. [04:36] Ohhhhhh [04:36] I had auto lo, but not auto ath0 [04:37] was that the problem? [04:37] i connected my xubunto to internet using adsl router lol [04:37] Is there a good open-source IDE for doing Java coding...thats not written in java? [04:37] violetdream: it works fine on the patched Gutsy and now Hardy (which i'm using) so i'm guessing the manufacturers finally released the drivers to the Open Source community... [04:37] danbh_intrepid: sorry, i would like to do that, but i don't know how to do pastebin [04:37] violetdreamL try it out. See what happens. You're not going to break anything; the device won't come up if it's wrong. [04:37] jamesish: am i anywhere close to being correct? [04:37] i'm really a noob here :( [04:37] how do i install java for my xubunto [04:37] mibbit mibbit lol [04:37] Geboy: when you boot up do you see the menu? [04:38] yup [04:38] Geboy: sudo apt-get install pastbinit && blkid | pastebinit [04:38] Geboy: press "c" [04:38] Tim, apt-get install java [04:38] ancientadm: yeah; assuming that's your netmask, which it probably is. [04:38] Why is does Firefox seem slow with Ubuntu? especially the flash player [04:38] hold on [04:38] Can I just say, off of the entire Ubuntu topic, that Al Davis is certifiably insane at this point to me? [04:38] ta dronix [04:38] Is anyone using rtorrent as a bittorrent client? It's awesome! I use it with GNU screen, it's great once you get the hang of it. [04:38] Geboy: wait.. this'll be a long convo [04:38] Geboy: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && blkid | pastebinit oops, I had to correct a type, use that command [04:39] wade: flash player has been the achilles heel of linux for a while. It's worse on FreeBSD where you have to use a linux emulation layer to use the linux flash player. Pain in the fundament. [04:39] jamesish: ok I restarted with the auto thing there and I put in the tabs, everything else looked good except I didn't have hostename - however i saw somewhere else it was optional [04:39] violetdream: yeah, or you can use the hostname flag [04:39] danbh_intrepid:sorry, i'm in the grub menu right now [04:39] theres ubuntu 8.04.1 kernel 2.6.24-19-generic [04:40] theres ubuntu 8.04.1 kernel 2.6.24-19-generic (recovery mode) [04:40] ahhhhh, i still cant read this stupid DVD [04:40] theres ubuntu 8.04.1, memtest +86 [04:40] it says "location not found" [04:40] with VLC [04:40] suggestion for flash; swfdec if you can't use the non-free player. It handles youtube and a lot of flash animations (but not interactive games) [04:40] Geboy: is there a selection for windows? [04:40] this is a French comp and an American DVD [04:40] Rev: can you read any other media? [04:40] can i do something? [04:40] and "Other operating System:" [04:40] jamesish: ack it's still dead, I don't even know what I did, I bet you if I change it back the wireless will still be gon from the manager [04:40] Microsoft Windows XP Proffesional [04:40] !libdvdcss2 [04:40] 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 [04:40] jamesish: it just has a grayed out box for "wired network" and no wireless [04:41] Greetings, I am wondering if anyone can walk me through installing Ubuntu without anything other than a GUI, compiler capabilities, and svn programs (without all the *extras* like internet browser and video player)? [04:41] zcat[1], i have installed it, but it still doesnt work [04:41] Geboy: press down until you highlight the Microsoft Windows XP Professional option then press "e". Tell us what the commands are. [04:41] dronix, no totem says "location not found" and vlc just crashes and closes [04:42] however ath0 is there on ifconfig and iwlist scan it says "no scan results" and not "doesn't support scanning" [04:42] hi all. can somebody help me getting wireless to work on ubuntu using a bridge? I had successful connection without the bridge but with the bridge refuses to connect (asks passphrase again and again) anyone have a clue? [04:42] Rev: but can u play any other formats? [04:42] ancientadm: there are "root (hd0,0)" [04:42] savedefault [04:42] fluffles.. i think violetdream is in the same predicament.. of sorts. [04:42] makeactive [04:42] chainloader +1 [04:42] Geboy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:42] Tsaukpaetra: well, you could try the server install, and go from there [04:42] dronix, yeah, mpg and avi without any problem [04:42] and european DVDs too [04:42] Geboy: that sounds like your grub is working fine... [04:42] fluffles: hey that is sort of happening to me! welcome to the club :) [04:42] fluffles: Does your bridge support your wireless network? For example, are you trying to connect to a B bridge on a strictly G network? [04:42] danbh_intrepid: aight, sorry. my bad [04:42] Tsaukpaetra: then install gnome [04:43] lol, ok :) [04:43] Geboy: but your windows installation might not be working at all. [04:43] * fluffles joins the club [04:43] Ok. [04:43] Geboy: ? [04:43] danbh_interpid: i think Geboy meant to apologize to the bot. [04:43] Bo-: my wlan0 wireless connection on ubuntu has internet (via NAT router), my eth0 is Locan LAN. i want my local LAN to see the router on wlan0 connection, so i formed a br0 bridge between eth0 and wlan0 [04:44] violetdream: camE, sucks. But camstream worked like a charm! Thanks! [04:44] violetdream: interesting. What's teh output on netstat -r ? Do you know where your first hop is? Just go through that routine. [04:44] youknowme: great glad to help :) [04:44] fluffles: Ah. I thought you meant a hardware bridge. [04:44] how come when there is the cd in the drive it still boot to xp? but when theres no cd, it stuck. [04:44] jamesish: it's empty... [04:45] it said, invalid device requested [04:45] aw crud, how do I boot the install CD under Microsoft Virtual PC [04:45] Bo-: sorry, just a software one in ubuntu, so my other LAN has acess to internet. without the bridge only ubuntu has access [04:45] Rev: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Setting%20DVD%20Region%20Codes [04:45] Anyone mind assisting me? My internet was working fine last night with 60 kB/s+, and now today it seems to be maxing out at about 200 B/s... any suggestions? [04:45] fluffles: I'm a hardware guy, sorry. [04:45] violetdream: that's where the issue is, then. The best way to learn how to solve this is to read man netstat and see how to set up a gateway. [04:45] violetdream: it's like, three options on netstat to do it. [04:46] jamesish: agh, I messed somethig up though [04:46] let me restart after revering the interface file [04:46] and now i can't get to ubuntu itself... [04:46] dronix, thanks i had just found that [04:46] violetdreamL though you had a gateway entry, didn't you? Post that doodad into pastebin when you get a change. [04:46] installing the package, 'ill tell if that works [04:46] jamesish: because it was scanning and finding stuff before and now it's not, it just stopped working suddenly...agh [04:46] everytime i choose ubuntu from the menu, now it said theres no such partition [04:47] violetdream: it just takes time to get networking down, but we'll get it. [04:47] Dammit, someone suggested a linux backup and it was like, perfect, and I forgot what it's called [04:47] to clone an entire hard drive [04:47] dronix: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts [04:47] is it ok [04:47] jamesish: thanks :) blah last time only way to fix this was to reinstall updated drivers [04:47] Tim: yes [04:48] jamesish: and to think my 5th grade computer teacher said you needed 2 years and a cerificitate to understand networking ;) [04:48] dronix : do i have to be connected to internet to do that [04:48] yes [04:48] ancientadm: now what, good sir? [04:48] violetdream: I learned networking by necessity. I said I could do it on my resume :P [04:49] after connecting use the termail to get the java [04:49] i can't get anywhere now. not ubuntu nor xp [04:49] forget xp [04:49] what are some good syncronization programs available for ubuntu...i want to sync all my music from my linux computer to my flash drive [04:49] * Geboy dizzy [04:49] bo-: sounds like with me and programming, hehe [04:49] violetdream: understanding networking is a different skill than configuring a network interface ;) I've had a few years networking, it's an entire planet. [04:49] All: Anyone know how to install Ubuntu on Microsoft Virtual PC? [04:49] if that doesn't work seach for java-common on you synaptic package manager [04:49] Anyone mind assisting me? My internet was working fine last night with 60 kB/s+, and now today it seems to be maxing out at about 200 B/s... any suggestions? I'm using Wicd Manager. [04:49] jamesish: ok now it's "working" (ie scanning, picking up stuff) but that is still empty, what do I configure? [04:49] Geboy: you're in doodoo. -_- [04:50] Can you guys let me know of linux backup options? I want to clone this system to 20 identical ones [04:50] Tsaukpaetra: http://arcanecode.wordpress.com/2006/09/20/virtual-pc-step-by-step/ [04:50] Distort1: what is your hardware setup? [04:50] Distort1:i'm experiencing the same thing just a week ago [04:50] Tsaukpaetra: create a virtual machine first, then use an iso or cd to install ubuntu [04:50] luminerd: try downloading Hirens [04:50] 200 bits per second [04:50] Bo-: Accessing... [04:51] There was one that I found that sounded like it fit the situation perfectly [04:51] dronix: I'm getting sometihng about the processor. [04:51] But I can't remember the name dammi! :( [04:51] violetdream: try visiting a website? [04:51] that is very slow basically back to the future [04:51] it is not even connected so that's not gonna work [04:51] luminerd: Hirens Boot CD 9.5* it has disk cloning utility [04:51] what does it says? [04:51] violetdream: have you configured /etc/resolv.conf, too? DNS baby. [04:51] how do i register my nick? [04:51] !register > jmsthing678 [04:51] jamesish: I don't think so, let me see [04:51] jmsthing678, please see my private message [04:51] luminerd: how about Acronis? [04:51] Distort1: have checked everything and was fine, reinstalling the router, and it was nothing wrong. then i change the cabling, and it heals it self to the 80KBps [04:52] "An unrecoverable processor error has occured/nThe virtual machine will reset now." [04:52] Hmmm [04:52] jamesish: ok how do I fix this, I see it has 192.168.1.1, it probably needs the weird 10.0.0.1 thing [04:53] Tsaukpaetra: hmm, I really don't know, never messed with virtual pc that much, I used vmware player + vmx builder on my windows === Genizon is now known as Klaxon [04:53] Violet, what do you need the 10.0.0.1 for? [04:53] ancientadm: hiks, i think i'll go with xp then, and use wubi. but i have doubt on wubi since its a virtual machine [04:53] klaxon: the dns server on the repeater is 10.0.0.1 [04:53] i need some help with python opengl if anyone can [04:53] hmmm [04:53] dronix: Yeah, this error is completely new to me. Do you think it is because I have more than one core? === agib|away is now known as agib [04:54] Well you can definitely change the assigned one on your ubuntu in the preferences === edge-t is now known as madwanderer [04:54] violetdream: whatever your dns server is, throw it in there. If it's saying it was 192.168.1.1, I'm surprised you're meant to be on the 10.0.x.x subnet [04:54] could be, and virtual pc is not handling correctly [04:54] mkfs.ext4 [04:54] Seriously I am so PISSED at myself for not bookmarking that!!!!! [04:54] command not fnord [04:54] GAHHHHH [04:54] jamesish: defaulted to this I guess..hmm [04:54] jamesish: wait I did this already through network manager [04:54] Thats a good way of putting it jamesish [04:55] violetdream: nope, it doesn't default to anything. These things are set by SOME program somewhere. [04:55] jamesish: I don't know if it helped, would not hur tto try again though [04:55] violetdream: go for it. I mean, if necessary we can always work it out by logging into your router ;) [04:55] luminerd: is it free software? [04:55] this is great! my pc would only boot to whatever os i want only if there is the xp installation cd in the cd drive [04:55] lol [04:55] violetdream: there's very little harm here, just a bunch of fiddliness [04:55] jamesish: oh so weird, maybe some program. Ok still doing the password thing [04:55] jamesish: hah logging into my router is harm [04:56] Under System Monitor > Network History, it says 'Total Received: 6.6MiB, Total Sent: 1.8 MiB', the receiving and sending totals also keep dropping to 0 for unknown reasons. [04:56] jamesish: then I might break the internet here too and I'd have to wake up my landlord..haha not going to happen [04:56] jamesish: if i had a host that connects through a repeater to a router that acts as the gateway with an IP of 10.0.0.1, and i wanted to use that gateway as my DNS server on my host, i'd specify 10.0.0.1 on my host for the DNS server, ya? [04:56] you can't break the internet. Not unless you google "google" into google [04:56] There are also spikes in the graph when I actually get data, then it kinda just idles for a while longer until I get another spike. [04:56] ancientadm: is it running a dns server? If so, sure. If not, there's not much point. Make sense? [04:56] why are same hd transfer rates 2mb/s? [04:57] dronix: but even google is fault tolerant.. try www.gooogle.com [04:57] jamesish: was trying to rephrase violetdream's situation if i got it right. [04:57] Ooh I hate it when I need to kick disconnected users to reclaim memory! :( [04:58] lol goooogle.com is different [04:58] ancientadm: yeah. THe issue that puzzles me is the 192.168.blah in /etc/resolv.conf. Could be it's there from a previous router, could be it's there from this one and he just doesn't know the network correctly. [04:58] dronix: i guess even google has limits. haha [04:58] anyone got a fix for opengl compiz flicker ati crap? [04:58] jamesish: she, she! [04:58] haha [04:58] dronix, it works, cool :) but only with movie player, my vlc crashes [04:58] weird [04:58] other than disabling compiz? [04:58] Geboy: still, something's wrong o_o [04:59] yay totem [04:59] How do I find the list of the last packages that were updated? [04:59] Rev: try reinstalling vlc [04:59] alandd: /var/log/dpgk [04:59] ok i will [04:59] Thanks, Jordan_U_ [04:59] violetdream: no worries, milady. jamesish may have been alluding to the router as male.. <_< [04:59] ancientadm: it definetely is! any suggestion? should i install xp instead and use wubi from it? [04:59] thanks for your help dronix [04:59] Rev: np [05:00] ancientadm: she's a girl too!! I should I know I flashed the firmware didn't I?? [05:00] ;) [05:00] alandd: np [05:00] Geboy: can't risk a clean install? [05:00] When I try to login in a new window, it says that it cannot start the new display and that the x server is not configured well [05:00] Last time i flashed some firmware, i was put in jail :( [05:00] violetdream: you .. peeked. o_o [05:01] J-n: hence your nick name? [05:01] ancientadm: for the record, its my second installation for both os for the night [05:01] and it was all cleaned [05:01] from blank partition [05:01] :( [05:01] anyone know if it's worth adding repositories to get gnome do 5 over the version 4 in the regular repos? [05:01] omg I almost went to jail too...when I was flashing it connected to john doe's router down the road and I amost flashed that one because he didn't reset the default password and stuff, haha [05:01] J-n: suggest you flash your firmware in private. ;) [05:01] there is no way a transfer rate from ext3 to fat32 should be 2mb/s [05:02] Ninina: intrepid will have it, which is coming out in a month [05:02] dronix: Sorry for late response, yes, it was OSS [05:02] demism: what's your cable connecting the HDDs to the motherboard? ATA100? [05:02] danbh_intrepid: that would be a full reinstall though... [05:03] luminerd: http://www.foogazi.com/2008/02/25/free-linux-backup-solutions/ [05:03] ancientadm: not sure, its a laptop [05:03] its a scsi drive [05:03] Geboy: so you want a dual-boot Windows XP and Linux laptop and you're free to clean the thing up with a fresh install...? [05:03] Ninina: no, you can upgrade with update-manager but yes, it will basically install all new packages on your system [05:03] Thanks dronix It's not one of those though :/ [05:03] luminerd: k [05:04] its not a laptop btw [05:04] luminerd: can't remember any of the letters from the name? [05:04] its a pc with amd 64 x2 [05:04] ancientadm: its a scsi drive not sure its ata100 since its scsi and a laptop [05:04] Geboy: oops, sorry. not a laptop. [05:05] even if its a laptop, it doesnt matter [05:05] danbh_intrepid: I find that the package "upgrades" tend to either brake stuff or make it run slower =\ [05:05] hehe [05:05] Geboy: so both times you've installed the oses it still came up with the same problem? [05:05] yup [05:05] Ninina: yeah, have a separate /home, and then do clean installs [05:05] dronix: sadly no :( [05:05] I have a Wacom 4x5 tablet connected to my laptop via USB. I'm running Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. This evening when I cranked it up the computer no longer "sees" the tablet. xorg.conf has not changed. lsusb shows the device. Someone is not talking to someone else. [05:05] Any tips for me? [05:05] what i tried to do is using xp 32 and the other is 8.04 64 desk [05:06] is it ok? [05:06] Geboy: so you've tried installing Windows first, and using the installation CD you've removed all the partitions and made 1 for WindowsXP, saving some space for Linux, then installed Linux, allowing the Grub bootloader to help you dual-boot..? [05:06] dronix: Ok, I got a little more specifics on the Virtual PC Problem. The last line of the startup text (after "Loading Kernel...") Is: <> [05:06] hmm, don't know really, never tried using 32 and 64 oses on the same partition [05:07] danbh_intrepid: Ahh I didn't know much when I installed ubuntu on this computer so I just let it set up my filesystem itself and it mono-partitioned it [05:07] yup thats what i'm dooing all the night long [05:07] lol [05:07] KDE has stopped automounting USB devices on my box, but I can mount manually (e.g. my external hard disk/enclosure). How do I fix this? [05:07] Tsaukpaetra: thats when booting into your linux install? [05:07] ancientadm: yup! thats exactly what i did [05:07] dronix: i didn't know two OSes could use the same partition.. unless they use the same filesystem [05:07] !home > Ninina and thats what guides are for : ) gl [05:07] Ninina, please see my private message [05:07] ancientadm: sorry, I meant hdd [05:08] dronix: Well, after more text, that's the last line before it crashes. I disabled the quiet switch to see that. [05:08] Hello, I've added a second NIC (eth1) and I want to use it as my primary NIC instead of eth0. How can I do this? I am running Ubuntu Server 8.04 [05:08] thats not in the same partition [05:08] Tsaukpaetra: is that for every vm you create? [05:08] each has its own partition [05:08] to be exact, i created 3 partition [05:08] Geboy: you installed windows first, then Linux? that seems to be the right way of going about it.. [05:08] Geboy: did u use guided when choosing partitions? [05:09] Yes, but I've only got this when using the Ubuntu install CD. The other microsoft vms are still ok. [05:09] dronix: good question: he might not have put in a swp.... [05:09] I just tried turnning off roaming on network settings and specifiying things exactly but it doesn't like that at all, doesn't seem to actually try to connect [05:09] ancientadm:i do exactly what it said in the howtoforge [05:09] dronix: no. i use the manual [05:09] Geboy, link the howtoforge please [05:09] Geboy: could be that you r messing with both partitions [05:09] Geboy: the guide, i mean. [05:10] how do i delete all default routers? route delete default gw doesn't work :( [05:10] dronix: i think that's exactly what's going on with Geboy [05:10] how can i speed up enormous random FPS drop in CSCZ?

[05:11] ancientadm: i understand. hold on === agib|away is now known as agib [05:13] test [05:13] ancientadm: I tried to update them before I wiped it and it didn't seem to really do any (obvious) good [05:13] dronix: Ah; safe video mode. That's a big start. Thanks for the researc! : [05:13] ancientadm: http://www.howtoforge.com/dual_boot_windows_xp_vista_ubuntu_feisty [05:13] can anyone help me getting opengl to work correctly? i'd appreciate it a lot [05:13] *with [05:13] I have not done all of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4785779 simply because it should be working. But, checking the results of that page, everything looks fine. I suppose I should assume bad hardware and test the tablet on another computer. I'd like to debug a bit more first, though. [05:13] ancientadm:i know i'm going to install hardy but i thought it was quiet the same between feisty and hardy installation [05:13] Tsaukpaetra: np [05:13] Can anyone tell me what is going on here... flash videos seem to cause a serious lag in Firefox is this a flash thing of firefox [05:14] almost certainly flash [05:14] to connect xbunto system through a hub that is connected to the adsl rounter ...is there anything special has to be done [05:14] donavan: yes, reinstall flash [05:14] adsl router has always on internet [05:14] no need to log in [05:15] Tim: no, it should pick up just as if it was directly connected [05:15] dronix: how could i? i just add / , /boot, and swap in a free space mentioned by the partitioner [05:15] my clock is not syncing with the server. its hourse off [05:15] ok Im a semi-noob to linux anyone wanna give me the run down on the best way to do this .... just remove it through synaptic? [05:15] anyone have any advice for my problem? [05:16] mrynit: check the location [05:16] donavan_: Are you using the nonfree plugin? [05:16] donavan_: go to you synaptic package manager and search for flash [05:16] I think so [05:17] dronix : i had type in ........ sudo pppoeconf when i connected to isp through adsl rounter [05:18] what is the nonfree lib name? [05:19] dronix, set to servers update and i change the time zone back to america/LA [05:19] mrynit: still nothing? [05:19] nevermind I found it [05:20] it has not changed it self. i do have the weather data from it working [05:20] Hey guys. My computer died. No lights, nothing. Any ideas? It's a Kubuntu, if that makes a difference. [05:20] croak it may be a hardware failure [05:20] mrynit: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/sync-your-system-clock-with-internet-time-servers-in-ubuntu/ [05:21] do u hear the fan running:croak [05:21] Nothing whatsoever. [05:21] And the plug is fine. [05:21] croak: probally hardware. Check plugs. [05:21] croak, look around BIOS and POST [05:21] croak hit del key when computer boots up [05:21] It doesn't boot. [05:21] Period. [05:21] ok [05:21] That's the issue. [05:21] croak is it p4 [05:21] or p3 [05:22] Celeron. [05:22] does anyone know of another video or audio application with dts passthrough besides vlc and mplayer? [05:22] My sister was using it. Said it kept restarting before. [05:22] croak: check your memory, remove it and put it back in, then boot [05:22] ok when I look under add ons in Firefox I have only shockwave dlash 9.0 r124 which is the same add on that was present before I installed the nonfree [05:22] what gives [05:22] dronix, not update button in 8.04 [05:22] donavan_: go to you synaptic package manager and search for flash [05:22] it may be a power supply failure [05:23] ok [05:23] what is better ndiswrapper or bcm43xx-fwcutter? [05:23] I did that. And I think power, yeah. On the computer's part. [05:23] im there [05:23] for bcm4318 wireless [05:23] does anyone know of another video or audio application with dts passthrough besides vlc and mplayer? [05:24] mrynit: right-click on the clock, "Adjust Date and time", change manual to sync with servers [05:24] So, I'd better look for a replacement, then, eh? [05:24] if u have another computer put it side by side use the power from other computer like the way u would use booster cable for ur car [05:24] donavan_: now search for flash, choos the nonfree plugin [05:24] How would that work? [05:24] I hate having to repeat myself, but if I must, I must... KDE has stopped handling USB devices (e.g. my external hard disk/enclosure) on my box, but I can mount manually from the command line without an issue. How do I fix this? Control center shows HAL backend to be checked, yet greyed out...and HAL is definitely running (it starts before KDE). A reboot did not help. [05:25] u have to unplug the power cable from mbo in other computer [05:25] croak: does your power supply smells burned? [05:25] dronix, that...makes...no sense.... [05:25] dronix: Didn't notice any smells. [05:25] Dronix: ok got it and that is the one that is installed [05:25] croak: your computer has a power supply box that feeds power to your motherboard and other peripherals. [05:25] donavan_: choose reinstall [05:25] croak: what's being suggested is to use a different power supply. [05:25] ancient yes agreed [05:25] dronix, thx, it worked, but there should be a standalone button to sync [05:25] mrynit: what do u mean? right-click on the clock then choose Adjust date and time [05:26] dumb design [05:26] dronix: ok done [05:26] mrynit: yeah I gues [05:26] VanessaE: Right after you plug it in, do "tail /var/log/messages" Does that show the USB connection event and the driver loading? [05:26] donavan_: restart firefox [05:26] Okay, lemme take another look at it. [05:26] why should i go into manual get it to sync?? its counter intuitive [05:26] power supply testers are inexpensive. check a local store or internet [05:26] dronix: Yeah, I can't seem to get it to install. I guess I'll try again later... [05:26] I think I just overwrote the first 410bytes of my boot HD [05:27] mrynit: I really don't know why it would do that other than your battery is messed up or something else [05:27] and I'm trying not to panic [05:27] dronix: Thanks your your help, though. [05:27] tsaukpaetra: your welcome [05:27] alandd: yep, it does. Like I said, I can mount it after I plug it in. [05:27] dronix, i booted the computer with a bootable media. must have changed it [05:28] mrynit: hmm maybe, I really don't know, have you tried changing it back to manual? [05:28] I am getting busybox from my laptop boot [05:28] I've just accidentally overwritten the first 410bytes of my main/boot partition; the system is still running, though new commands won't start - what should I do? [05:28] anyone can help me troubleshoot ? [05:28] VanessaE: Yea, sorry. You already said that. I'm not overly experienced with the auto mount event control so I'm stumbling around a bit. Let me try to remember when such things have happened to me... [05:29] mib_po8yin: probably you are having problems with kernel [05:29] dronix, the clocked synced itself. there is a button to click that syncs the clock when you enter manual mode [05:29] It seems that my laptop have raid and its not finding my hdd [05:29] alandd, no problem :) [05:29] highly counter intuitive [05:29] Ali_ix can u help me little? [05:30] mrynit: ah ok [05:30] mib_po8yin: what happend before that? any new pachages intalled? any changes to system? [05:30] Can someone help me with bash? [05:30] hi, does anyone have a little bit of time to help me with an opengl problem? [05:30] VanessaE: This is all basic stuff I am typing even though you present as "non-newbie" to me. I'm just speaking basic stuff for my own thought path.

Do you have files in there? [05:31] dronix: tried the re-install and restart but it still causes firefox to lag ... I can even scroll down on the page when a decent sized flash video is playing firefox takes about 40-50% of the CPU when playing [05:31] yep, there's plenty of files there [05:31] mib_po8yin: so never booted after install? does live cd works properly? [05:31] live cd works i am in that currently [05:31] 95-hal.rules is probably the one you're interested in [05:31] but from hdd boot it goes directly to busy box [05:31] Okay, I have no idea how jumpstarting my computer is supposed to work. [05:31] Those are the "hot-swap" rules files. I've had a situation where that directory got blown away, one time. [05:32] I was reading few forums seems that it might be hdd issue becuase my laptop have built in raid on bios [05:32] mib_po8yin: ok, so you need to search based on your hardware, this is an installation issue (derivers, setup, ...) [05:32] donavan_: hmm, I don't know what could be the problem then, any addons interferring? [05:32] but no one never posted a solution. [05:32] alandd, right, and this drive normally behaves that way.. it looks more or less like a USB fob to the computer [05:32] hi there [05:32] mib_po8yin: are you sure about raid? on laptop? never seen that! [05:32] anyone here use hwinfo ? === lymeca_ is now known as lymeca [05:33] yeah my toshiba have raid in bios [05:33] anyone know vi? [05:33] VanessaE: Who is supposed to handle the automount? udev or KDE? I think KDE. In which case I'm leading you to look in the wrong place.

[05:34] croak: not jumpstarting, what they are suggesting is that you find a simmilar computer, and use the powersupply from that one- Unplugging the working computers powersupply and the broke one's as well, and plugging the known working Power suppuly into the not working computer.... to see if it the power suppuly that is broken, or if it is something else. If you do not have another computer to use the power suppuly from this will not be possible.

[05:36] outbackwifi, KDE has decided that it doesn't want to automount my removable devices anymore. Yet, I can mount them fine from the command line. kcontrol says HAL support is enabled (and greyed out). HAL starts before KDE, and is running. [05:36] nydoc: what is the command that you use [05:37] nydoc: is that a shell script? [05:37] I type ./filename [05:37] ok [05:37] Dronix: the only other thing I can think of is that my ATI drivers are screwy I get some sort lines/pixelation when I go fullscreen but that happens with any application [05:37] thanks [05:37] croak: did you say previously that you are using a laptop? or a desktop? [05:37] alrighty, here's the downlow;, I was restoring a backup of my /home to a fresh install of ubuntu, so I rm -rf'ed my /home/me, figuring I would just restore all the files in it anyway, and I need space on my hd. Now, I can't spawn any new graphical programs. If I run firefox,gnome-terminal,rxvt from the cli, I get: "protocol not found, Cannot connect to display :" [05:37] outbackwifi, so I plug in the drive, dmesg throws a bunch of messages recognizing it, and normally I get an icon and a window showing the drive's contents. these last two bits are what have ceased. === HuricaneEdward is now known as MrDudle [05:38] Gboy: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm?page=3 [05:38] * VanessaE looks at FloodBot [05:38] wtf?

Desktop. [05:38] outbackwifi, I have only two devices at the moment, so I guess "the same drives" is the answer. [05:39] ok [05:39] Geboy: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm?page=3 [05:39] dronix: well thanks anyways, at least I know I didn't miss anything obvious [05:39] it is an external hard disk/enclosure, so I can't leave it on all the time (it runs hot, I don't wanna kill the disk) [05:39] ID10T: did you give yourself permissions to write to it? i.e. chown -R me:me /home/me [05:39] VanessaE: here' s what i have done, made an entry into /etc/fstab for the drives [05:39] hey all [05:39] donavan_: np, sorry couldn't help [05:39] croak: okay. your power suppuly is inside your computer, it will be what you plug the power cord into. it will have several plugs that plug into various parts of your computer. [05:40] when i install a windows driver to use with ndiswrapper, it only works until i reboot. then i cannot scan for networks [05:40] I believe so, since the owner is the same name [05:40] speener: Holy cow, that is a lot faster. [05:40] lemme check [05:40] VanessaE: never heard of a HDD dying like that but i could be mistaken [05:40] to get it working again i need to uninstall the windows driver, reboot, and reinstall the driver [05:40] Croak: were you having hardware issues? sorry I missed you original post [05:40] ID10T: to see what it currently is: $ ls -ld /home/me [05:40] bobertdos: it's cool isn't it...lol... [05:40] i have a bug report with all the info, but no luck so far [05:40] VanessaE: also, if you are on KDE, #kubuntu might be a good place to ask [05:40] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper/+bug/264340 [05:40] ID10T: or ls -l /home [05:40] Launchpad bug 264340 in ndiswrapper "ndiswrapper: cant scan for networks after first reboot post-install" [Undecided,New] [05:40] yep [05:40] outbackwifi, I asked there and got no response. [05:40] ffs, hwinfo FROZE my freakin server. I can ssh in, but ps aux freezes, and reboot freezes [05:40] administrator: r u installing as a super user? [05:41] speener: It took me longer to set up because I took the opportunity to relearn the GUI tools. [05:41] done, and I have rw and x on stuff, and I'm the owner and the group, so... [05:41] lol... [05:41] ID10T: hmm, so the error code is that firefox can't connect to X or something like that? [05:41] however, I'm not using Kubuntu... this is Ubuntu with KDE installed (but not Kubuntu-desktop) [05:41] is there an easy way to simulate using windows? i want to watch abc.com's tv shows but you need i/e or firefox for windows [05:41] dronix: huh? i run ndiswrapper gui, and i dont even think it asks me for my root pw [05:41] Protocol not specified, hoonteke [05:41] can anyone tell me the best way to watch these shows? [05:41] I think I rm'ed a . file :S [05:41] dronix: correction, yes it does [05:41] ID10T: I think you'll need to log out and back in. I think the problem is that ... exactly [05:41] joanki123: try ie4linux [05:41] how do i get it, dronix? [05:41] croak: Unplug both computers from the wall, unplug the cords comming from the PS to the internal parts of the computer (remember where you unplugged them from) Plug the working computers powersuppuly into the non working computrer's parts. [05:42] ID10T: you need to have a certain few .X.. files lying around I think. [05:42] donavan_: Well, my sister was using before, and she mentioned that it kept restarting. Last time it turned on, she said she heard something. And now it's dead. I don't know first-hand. [05:42] hoonteke: he just removed all .XXX files and folders, so there is no settings, config files and may be sockets in this session [05:42] ...if I log out, will I be able to log back in? that's the only reason I haven't done it... [05:42] does anyone know a good way to hide your ip address from using bittorrent? [05:42] it would be a big help [05:42] can someone tell me how to execute an executable file on the command line. I have tried ./filename but get command not found [05:42] ID10T: then don't ... try this [05:42] joanki123: seach your synaptic package manager for it [05:42] nydoc: make it executable [05:42] thanks dronix! [05:42] Ali_ix: exactly my thoughts [05:42] ID10T: no, you should user terminal to continue this, [05:42] np [05:42] nydoc chmod 755 filname [05:42] chmod o+x file [05:42] ID10T: switch to terminal (CTRL+ALT+F1) [05:42] ok [05:42] mydoc: sh ./myfilename [05:42] croak: any more detail than that? [05:42] I used chmod +x filename to change file to executable [05:42] J-n: The other computer happens to look a lot different and older, but I'll try. [05:43] ID10T: you may switch to virtual terminals with ctrlf1-f6 or use a live cd [05:43] ID10T: log in, then type sudo startx -- :2 ... I think that's right [05:43] is there a way to sync my iPod with both OSes on my linux-windows dual boot? [05:43] ID10T: yeah, : before 2 [05:43] donavan_: Not really that I can think of. [05:43] ID10T: that will start X on a second terminal [05:43] ok [05:43] speener: It's been a couple years since I'd worked with SQL. I wanted to make sure I could at least understand this much :p [05:43] nydoc: and ./ doesn't work? what is it you are trying to run? [05:43] Ali_ix: is there another step to that? [05:43] dronix, not here.... obviously i could do an internet search but i hate having to install [05:43] could it be under a different name? [05:43] VanessaE: have you looked into /etc/pmount.allow [05:43] joanki123: one sec [05:43] open a file in vi [05:43] VanessaE: or into /etc/pmount.deny [05:43] outbackwifi, I don't have such a file [05:44] hoonteke: he cant start x with its own user, and running as root is dangerous, he need to play with terminal [05:44] ID10T: actually ... try switching users [05:44] brb lunch calls [05:44] bobertdos: lol...i just wanted amarok to be faster...read a little and set it up...not really interested in using it for anything else [05:44] lol... [05:44] joanki123: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation:Ubuntu [05:44] nydoc: what about: vi filename [05:44] ID10T: yeah, have you tried System->Quit->Switch User ? [05:44] thanks, dronix!!!! [05:44] !pmount.allow [05:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about pmount.allow [05:44] your welcome [05:45] nope, I just did the sudo startx -- :2 [05:45] vi filename will open the file in vi [05:45] croak: don't do it if you think it might not be similar or the same... it COULD dammage stuff further.. i'd hate to suggest something like that.. i was just telling you what others were suggesting :) i've done it myself to find out if a particular PS was dead or not.. but there could be complications.. just a warning. [05:45] maybe I should just copy all the .X* files from /root to /home/me ? [05:45] ID10T: since you've backed everything up. that worst that will happen is that you'll have to revert to commandline to restore your home directory [05:45] !pmount [05:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about pmount [05:45] ID10T: no! [05:45] well, it's a /home from a different computer [05:45] ID10T: ah no. because those are root owned fies [05:45] Croak: well if it was a noise and not a beep the 3 most likely causes for a no POST are the Video card (fan), the CPU (fan), or the Power supply. any idea how new it is or if she is generally a tidy person around the computer [05:45] speener: haha, I was thrilled when I first found out (a while ago), that Amarok could use SQL. That just added to its cool factor in my mind. [05:45] t [05:45] well, yeah, but I can just chown them, right? [05:45] My Wacom tablet no longer inputs to the computer. USB can see it, xorg.conf not changed but this evening, no mouse move from the tablet. [05:46] What do I check? [05:46] ID10T: not a good idea! [05:46] ID10T: no, I don't think so because they're pointers to what's currently running in memory, and they won't match [05:46] ok [05:46] ah, gotcha [05:46] VanessaE: sudo apt-get install pmount [05:46] ok, so I should... [05:46] ID10T: can you copy you backup files to /home/me in terminal? using 'cp' command? [05:46] alandd: did u update ? [05:46] *nix is all about pointers and saving stuff in files. Take a look at /var/log etc. [05:46] I did [05:47] where can i find driver for my devices to work in ubuntu? [05:47] VanessaE: that will create /etc/pmount.allow [05:47] Geboy; did u follow the link? [05:47] ID10T: for future reference, use tar, not cp. Unless you specify all the right arguments to cp you won't actually get a snapshot as a backup [05:47] VanessaE: just list the devices you want automounted on insert [05:47] ID10T: so you have files in /home/me (exactly as backup) chowned to your user? [05:47] donovan_: second-hand computer. It's a Celeron, so no more than a couple of years. It was fine for about 2 weeks. [05:47] tar does a better job as by default it captures *everything* and the *state* of everything [05:47] dronix: sorry, which one? [05:47] Geboy: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm?page=3 [05:47] ...I did use tar, but I tarred up this huge dir heirarchy, so I untarred to a folder, then cp'ed and mv'ed from that folder to /home/me [05:48] J-n: I was about to say I'd rather not do it. xD The other one is older and cramped and... different, pretty much. [05:48] ID10T: did you mean cpio when you said cp? [05:48] nope [05:48] never heard of it :S [05:48] dronix: oh yes [05:48] ok, pmount is installed, and /etc/pmount.allow has been updated to add both device entries (/dev/sdc and /dev/sdd) [05:48] Geboy: did it work? [05:48] ID10T: okay, good that you used tar. Should be able to use tar -tf tarfile then to see what's in it [05:48] dronix: and i was being guided by one of you through the installation 2 [05:48] VanessaE: restart hald [05:48] BINGO! [05:48] didn't even have to restart hald. [05:48] * outbackwifi takes a bow [05:48] plugged the disk in and it works now. [05:48] hoonteke: ok, for what purpose? what am I looking for? [05:48] i'm still installing now [05:49] you sir are a genius :) [05:49] ID10T: nothing at the moment. I'm just suggesting a quick way to get your home dir back [05:49] * outbackwifi takes a a couple of bows [05:49] lol, ok [05:49] hi all! [05:49] you're looking for the initial path [05:49] Croak: one thing you can have her try is to open the case and remove the cmos battery, unplug the PC and press the power button for about 30 secs, put the battery back and reconnect the power ... sounds stupid but sometimes they get a static buildup ... I used to work for Dell and that fixed a no post a lot, however more than likely being that it made noise your looking at some hardware... [05:49] ...replacement [05:49] Geboy: ah ok great, the drivers are kind of different then windows, you'll need to search for every driver that you need separately [05:49] the question is how ddid you tar it up [05:49] that's the thing though, the backup was a backup of a different /home/me, not the one on this box [05:49] hi, is there a way to sync my iPod with both OSes on my linux-windows dual boot? i use exaile and iTunes [05:49] how can I minimize or hide my torrent client's icon in the system tray? [05:49] * VanessaE chair-dances and sings the "Banana Splits" theme [05:49] tar -czpf backup-home.tar.gz /home/me [05:49] ID10T: but, the point is you have it and you've already removed everything in you rhome dir [05:49] what is the release data in Ibex? [05:49] croak: the diffrences have to be pretty big for it to be a problem. I'd personally suggest, if you'd like to not trash the computer, to take it to a computer repair shop, support local business and suff :) [05:50] basically [05:50] outbackwifi: Good help for VanessaE! [05:50] hoonteke: no, I rm'ed my /home, then copied in my backup [05:50] ID10T: do you have a .tar or .tar.gz fil [05:50] ID10T: so ... the worst that can happen is that you'll have to recreate your user. no biggie [05:50] alandd: tx [05:50] .tar.gz [05:50] yeah, I'm not super worried, just hate not having everything right :) [05:50] BoltClock: have u tried itunes under wine? [05:50] ID10T: when you do a tar ztvf your.tar.gz what do you get [05:50] dronix: wew, that sounds painfull enough. :p anyway, i thank you, before [05:50] ID10T: iz cool, you're atinkerer [05:50] donovan_: She doesn't deal with hardware. ;) So, the cmos battery would be where? [05:50] geboy: your welcome [05:51] dronix: my pc somehow goes nuts when i install wine, and as a result i had to reinstall ubuntu. so wine's a no go [05:51] ID10T: it should list out the contents without extracting [05:51] ID10T: anyway, no worries. Log out, then log in. [05:51] ID10T: the ability to log in won't be hampered because it'll be like a first run [05:51] * sprokt help [05:51] croak: it's the "calculator" looking battery on your motherboard. [05:51] hoonteke: sorry, didnt realize you were helpin him out [05:51] oh, ok [05:51] ID10T: you're credentials are actually stored on teh system in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and /etc/group [05:51] Kernel Panik-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-Block(1,0)????? [05:51] ID10T: so no worries [05:51] sprokt: on what [05:51] outbackwifi: no worries, mate [05:52] will my kde settings (themes, fonts, etc) work on gnome?? [05:52] when i open [05:52] speener: no [05:52] a kde app in gnome that is [05:52] dronix: just hang on right there. i might be troubling more in just a momment from now...lol [05:52] Anyone know of a black+green theme for gnome? Black+red would work as well... though not preferred. [05:52] geboy: lol k [05:52] will it still have the font i set on kde? [05:52] sweet, it's working, thanks for the helpz0rs [05:52] :) [05:52] Mordocai: gnome-look.org [05:52] outbackwifi: btw, ubuntu or debian or someone has made tar smarter of recent. tar -tf and tar -xf automatically detect the gzippedness of a file. no more worring about j and z. [05:53] speener: it should [05:53] ID10T: cool cool. [05:53] outbackwifi: Yeah, i started looking... couldn't find anything i liked so far [05:53] Panasonic, +3V. I gather that's it. [05:53] croak: that would all depend on what kind of mother voard she has but it will be easy to spot... normally it is a button battery about the size of a quarter its a fairly easy thing to do however it might be stuck under cables and what not... if she isnt comfortable doing it then obviously dont have her do it but if she can change batteries in a remote then this should be too difficult [05:53] * Geboy love this chan [05:53] hoonteke: i guess im too old to figure that out :) [05:53] thanks again, I'll head off now :-) [05:53] i have an ubuntu live cd when i type install at Boot: it gives me Kernel Panik-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-Block(1,0) [05:53] BoltClock: have u tried gtkpod? [05:53] outbackwifi: And what am I looking for if I want a theme for the windows?(Like, GTK 1.X etc) [05:54] outbackwifi: hehe, I too learned the other way, and only learned this one when I forgot to type, as usual. stupid lazy, lovely, fingers [05:54] Mordocai: metacity [05:54] hoonteke: lol === hiptobecubic^ is now known as hiptobecubic [05:54] dronix: is that the only solution that really supports iPod nano 3g? [05:54] donovan_: I work with the computers. xD I got it set up and everything, and she's scared of even plugging in the computer. So I take the battery out, press power for 30 seconds, replace the battery, and try and boot it up? [05:54] BoltClock: not sure if its the only one, but the only I know [05:55] outbackwifi: Thanks [05:55] Good night, everyone. I'll tackle my tablet another day. [05:55] Crazz: whats the config of your machine [05:55] Mordocai: anytime [05:55] any good rumors or "cools!" about upcoming intrepid? [05:55] oh... 1999 PowerPC G3 processor 32mb ram 6mb vram 6gb hdd [05:55] wow === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] [05:56] Crazz: and you are booting with the x86 livec? [05:56] Crazz: and you are booting with the x86 livecd? [05:56] no [05:56] * outbackwifi thanks god for that [05:56] croak: yeah like I said this only works if its just a goof up in the cmos caused by static if a fan died on something then you probably have a bad component and this will probably get you nowhere [05:56] well i hope not lol === freqk is now known as freqk|away [05:56] its a burn someone i know used for their mac same as mine... but they have more ram lmao [05:56] Crazz: you might just be pushing it with 32 Megs [05:57] croak: but I have used it successfully on a number of machines [05:57] Crazz: might be good for a server install tho [05:57] how do i set up my ubuntu so that it's on the same network domain as the other computers in the house?

[06:10] sekyourbox: locate it by 'whereis' or 'locate' commands [06:10] sekyourbox: perl's normally not in /usr/local/ its usually in /usr/bin/ type "which perl" and it'll give you an exact path [06:10] sekyourbox: its in /usr/bin/ by default [06:11] sekyourbox: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-460486.html [06:11] sekyourbox: modify your shebang accordingly [06:11] !perl [06:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about perl [06:11] :p [06:12] hooray, pidgin just died for no apparent reason [06:12] hoonteke: what do u expect, its a bird afterall [06:12] mustve got shot down by windows live [06:12] hoonteke: happens here too :| [06:12] croak: the electricity might run through the cable. but i suspect your power suply don't deliver it to the mobo [06:12] yeah, pidgin is frickin awesome in that I can consolidate all my protocols, but it's not the most stable. [06:13] as a software developer (recovering to other things now), I'm not sure if I appreciate that it often triggers a bug in X (whereby I have to restart the gdm) or not. [06:13] it's good that it highlights another program's bug, but it's likely a bug in pidgin as well. [06:13] ah me. [06:13] hoonteke: never had that happen to me [06:14] outbackwifi: you are just lucky :) [06:14] you guys ROCK! [06:14] serious software developers don't use ubuntu, I call bogus on hoonteke [06:14] it works! [06:14] whats a shebang? it sounds nasty... X) [06:14] Outback: i tried server got the same response [06:14] #! is a shebang [06:14] Geboy: #! [06:14] does watching it on firefox/wine ... does it drain my system? [06:14] bruenig: so they use Vista or some other distros?! [06:14] bruenig: oh? I call bogus right back. s.d. is as s.d. does. [06:14] bruenig: Don't be silly. [06:15] the ! thing? [06:15] ic [06:15] croak: one other thing to check is the capasitors on the mobo if any of them of domed or bulghing then its the mobo I have seem this a number of times with cheaper mobos and it will give you intermitant problems and can even pop like a firecracker when they go out [06:15] joanki123: whqt do you mean drain? [06:15] does it hot a lot of cpu time? [06:15] Geboy: #! is a shebang. Comes from "Hash Bang" which is #! [06:15] there's security, webdev, X, kde, and kernel for starters of what I work on [06:15] when i used virtualbox it was impossible [06:15] my battery would die immediately [06:15] Ali_ix: other distros yes [06:15] Ali_ix: Don't listen to bruenig, he's being silly. [06:15] joanki123: just check your cpu usage via 'top' in terminal or system monitor in gnome [06:16] ic. thanks [06:16] hardly [06:16] joanki123: knowing its a windows emulator, its more likely to kill your machine :p [06:16] but in general, does wine tax your system like virtualbox does? [06:16] great [06:16] thanks [06:16] Flannel: i like hunting M$ish ppl here, but wrong target this time [06:16] joanki123: no wine does not [06:16] outbackwifi: i get the same kernel panick with debian and ubuntu [06:16] yay! thanks [06:16] in that it doesn't emulate a cpu after all [06:16] joanki123: No, its not an emulator, its a compatability layer [06:17] let us get into that debate again about what wine is, I find it amusing [06:17] Crazz: what type of HDD does the mac have [06:17] lol...i don't even know what it looks like. wine is. i heard alot thought [06:17] bruenig: Do you plan on being helpful? or just making stupid comments? [06:17] !banter [06:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about banter [06:17] you've never seen wine? [06:17] I have given advice twice [06:18] outbackwifi: Quantum Fireball CR6.4 [06:18] !offtopic [06:18] in the last minute! [06:18] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:18] i'm only about to dive my self in ubuntu [06:18] http://www.cellarschoice.ca/img/wineBottles.jpg [06:18] Crazz: is that listed in the HCL? [06:18] does anyone know if ubuntu plans on modifying apt to include true package grouping at any time in the future? [06:18] i'm waiting for ancientadm to guide me through the installation again [06:18] honestly i don't know [06:18] Croak: one other thing you might want to look into getting a PSU tester great little tool normally cost you about 10-20$ and it will save hours of headache [06:19] bruenig: whats true package grouping? [06:19] Crazz: wouldnt hurt to check [06:19] so bruenig uses ubuntu [06:19] Crazz: www.ubuntuhcl.org [06:19] Geboy: i'm back [06:19] wb [06:19] joanki123: depends on the program. [06:19] a dedicated package group whereby each package is considered to be explicitly installed but can be removed separately without removing the entire group [06:19] but also can be removed at once as a group [06:20] joanki123: depending on the resource(s) you're trying to minimize, you might also look at other virtualization techniques [06:20] bruenig: did you ever used apt? do you know what dependency means? [06:20] like internet for example? includes firefox, pidgin etc? [06:20] bruenig: like a tasksel task? [06:20] this in contrast to meta-package hackery which merely lists all packages in the group of a fake package, causing apt to treat them all as dependencies [06:20] autbackwifi: can't read the page my comp thinks its a download [06:20] Ali_ix: all of the packages in the build-essential meta-package are not dependent on one another, nor does the overall meta-package actually depend on them [06:21] hoonteke, the only reason i want wine is so i can watch online tv [06:21] joanki123: VMWare for example, won't run the CPU near as hard as vbox, but is not in ubuntu repos and would require a little learning on your part. [06:21] and i don't do it often [06:21] Well, thanks for the advice, guys. I might just take it to a techie or something. Or maybe just give up on it - didn't cost a cent, so I'm not that bothered. I dunno, I'll see. [06:21] joanki123: ah. Hmm, don't know about actual TV ( as in with a tuner), but I know you can watch plenty of shows via flash [06:21] Bye. =D [06:21] joanki123: there's also Miro [06:22] joanki123: Miro should be in Add/Remove [06:22] what other package managers do this sort of thing bruenig ? [06:22] joanki123: there's also places like nbc.com that is flash based [06:22] joanki123: or hulu.com [06:22] Ali_ix: for instance, let's say I want to install kde, well kde has a bunch of packages, not all of which is essential to have some components of kde. So later I decide I don't want some of it and remove it. Under the current condition that causes the kde metapackage to break, which prompts its removal, when it is removed, the remaining packages appeared to be orphans and can also be removed [06:22] joanki123 : http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=308 [06:22] I've watched plenty of tv shows through those sites. [06:22] DigitalKiwi: I am not sure, do you know of any? [06:23] I don't think rpm does it [06:23] Does anyone know how to use the mac-fdisk commands without loading the linux kernel? [06:23] hi-how do i find my mac address? [06:23] takao, ifconfig [06:23] takao ifconfig [06:23] bruenig: yeah, seen that. but may be some smarter metapackages with back-dependencies do that right [06:23] Crazz: http://www.gifford.co.uk/~coredump/beigeg3.htm [06:23] how do i show network activity in system monitor processes? [06:24] I'm not very familiar with other package managers bruenig [06:24] ntop [06:24] wow [06:24] Ali_ix: there is no such thing as a smarter metapackage, the problem is that packages are listed as dependencies when they are not dependent on one another. You need to find a better way to group packages which doesn't require that you lie to the apt dependency tree about the nature of the packages being installed. This I call true grouping. [06:24] hoonteke, that's awesome [06:24] ljsoftnet: it shows it by default [06:24] brutus, indian_munnda is that the HWaddr? [06:25] takao: yes [06:25] indian_munnda, thanks [06:25] bruenig, mind taking packing discussion to -offtopic? thanks [06:25] bruenig: yeah, and this is what i called 'smarter metapackages', to have a grouping field beside dependency there [06:25] takao, yse [06:25] indian_munnda, i just want to know what processes is using the network/internet [06:25] brutus, yes [06:25] takao: mention not [06:26] Ali_ix: a grouping field is not a meta-package at that point as they aren't dependencies any longer. You have simply redefined my true grouping model and called it smarter meta-packages. It is nothing at all like a meta-package. It is a group. [06:26] ljsoftnet: netstat whould show connections, netstat -antp will give you PID of connection owner app [06:26] I am not sure why package management is off topic :/ [06:26] ljsoftnet: by using a firewall you can check that. [06:26] seems very on topic to me [06:26] Hello, I've added a second NIC (eth1) and I want to use it as my primary NIC instead of eth0. How can I do this? I am running Ubuntu Server 8.04 [06:26] ljsoftnet: ah, I don't think the kernel supports that level of granularity. I believe that solaris and there dtrace mechanism does, but I don't think linux has it yet. [06:26] DigitalKiwi: This is a support channel, not a general discussion channel. General discussions belong in -offtopic [06:26] well I asked a question about ubuntu and whether anyone knew how to modify apt to get true grouping [06:26] DigitalKiwi: if you want support on the apt package manager pl ask [06:26] ah Ali_ix, didn't think about that. good thought. [06:26] ah ok [06:26] bruenig asked [06:27] any patches or anything for that? [06:27] bruenig: if you want a feature addition, file it at the appropriate place [06:27] ljsoftnet: but what, *exactly*, are you trying to do [06:27] bruenig: Alright. If its related to a question, that's fine. It just soundeed more like an explanation/discussion/whatever [06:27] I was wondering if there was a patch or something already available to fix apt from its currently broken state [06:27] if you just want to see what progs has what connections open, Ali_ix just suggest netstat and nmap [06:28] hoonteke, i'm trying to look for what software is using the internet activity? [06:28] I tried connect to bluetooth headset from ubuntu 8.0, kerner 2.624-19. Eventhough I tried in two machines but did not work. Heard that it is bug in kernel, anybody know about a patch? [06:28] bruenig: since this is a basic feature, i don't think there is a patch or something. you better open a topic in apt developers mailing list [06:29] ljsoftnet: refine the question a bit more: netstat shows what programs are using the internet. if you want more granular, you'll have to scour the net elsewhere and wait for dtrace-like functionality to come to linux. [06:29] Ali_ix: actually I am fairly certain that are aware of it. So do you think ubuntu might spearhead this. I mean I am reading that pacman from arch linux has already implemented this successfully. [06:29] Hello, I cannot access the internet because my Ubuntu Server 8.04 is trying to use the wrong interface. Can anyone help me get it working? [06:29] willluongo: can you explain? [06:29] hoonteke how do i use the netstat? [06:29] willluongo: for a one-time fix, you can use ifconfig bad_iface down [06:30] willluongo: it will use whatever interface you specified as being connected to the gateway [06:30] willluongo: ifconfig good_iface up [06:30] when i boot up my computer, im at the busy box terminal... how can i run fsck or something similar? [06:30] ljsoftnet: netstat is a terminal command [06:30] willluongo: how many interfaces and different networks does it connected to? did you checked routing tables? (route -n) [06:30] hoonteke: No dice on that [06:30] willluongo: I'm not sure how to fix it for goods without looking it [06:30] willluongo: sudo route -n [06:30] pastebin that [06:30] ljsoftnet: yeah, you'll hvae to use the terminal, as I dont't hink there's a GUI program for it yet. [06:30] The gateway is all zeros [06:30] Everything else looks good [06:31] indian_munnda so i'll just type in netstat in the terminal to use it? [06:31] outbackwifi: hoonteke [06:31] Sorry, forgot to name [06:31] ljsoftnet: yup [06:31] ljsoftnet: once in a terminal, the 'man' program will be your friend [06:31] ljsoftnet: man netstat for more info [06:31] woohoooo i'm watching nbc.com ;) thanks, everyone [06:31] ljsoftnet: hoonteke, firestarter somehow shows the active connections and its process name, but it is actually the netstat output, so better if you use netstat in first place [06:31] ljsoftnet: for more info on netstat type man netstat in the terminal [06:31] how do i access my wireless card settings [06:31] np, joanki123. enjoy [06:32] ok [06:32] sushanth: depends on the card [06:32] hm, my audio doesn't work for some reason. alsamixer audio is turned up... fresh install of hardy... any ideas? [06:32] Ali_ix: ah cool. don't use firestarter myself. perhaps I should check it out. [06:32] willluongo: we need the following info: your gateway ip address, your ip address [06:32] http://pastebin.com/m705ada87 outbackwifi [06:32] foo, some have had luck with pulseaudio as an audio manager [06:32] it's what I use [06:33] other's hate it [06:33] my IP is 192.168.1.10, gateway is 192.168.1.1, works fine on the other interface [06:33] hoonteke: not that cool, it is a dead project! last update was 3 years ago :} [06:33] hoonteke: hm, I like alsamixer because I can use it in a CLI. is hoonteke GUI? [06:33] shoutout.. There's a partition #0 , right? partition zero? [06:33] !ufw | hoonteke [06:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw [06:33] foo: yeah, sorta. [06:33] foo: are you a member of the audio group? also make sure turn up other channels too, sometimes they are labeled wrong/different in alsamixer [06:33] foo: go to Terminal, then type pulseaudio [06:33] willluongo: haha, wow... I forgot about that [06:34] it should just start [06:34] hoonteke: hm, yeah, I am. [06:34] foo then you have to tell ubuntu to use it. System->Preferences->sound, I think. [06:34] bruenig, Atheros wireless card [06:34] willluongo: as a one time, do this sudo route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.1.1 [06:34] willluongo: I don't have it installed yet. Let me see if I can get alsa working in here [06:34] willluongo: any other ideas? [06:34] ah... foo, I'll have to pass you to someone else, I'm getting way tired [06:34] outbackwifi: <3 ! ! :D THank you [06:34] hoonteke: see ya :) Thanks [06:35] willluongo: yw [06:35] night all. good luck with all ubuntu questions and problems. [06:35] willluongo: that wont survive a reboot [06:35] foo: Did you install virtualbox OSE? that always breaks my audio lol [06:35] willluongo: you may need to edit /etc/network/interfaces file to make settings permanent [06:35] willluongo: hm, nope. fresh install, out of the box, ubuntu server... audio didn't work [06:35] outbackwifi: It will do the job for what I need now though :D thanks again [06:36] ok [06:36] Ali_ix: what would I add in the interfaces file? [06:36] When I type "\wine start utorrent.exe from a remote location on my file server, a bunch of errors pop up saying that the X-Window manager could not be used or something, and then when I run top on the same SSH connection, it gives me utorrent.exe and about 5 or 6 utorrent.exe processes. Any ideas why this may be? [06:36] foo: so you don't have alsa anything installed? [06:36] foo no aplay for example? [06:36] Romanian: why are you using Wine for torrent? [06:37] willluongo: I do, I have alsamixer, and aplay [06:37] Because I'm not cool enough to learn how to use rtorrent :\ [06:37] Romanian: ubuntu has a torrent client called transmission [06:37] !transmission [06:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about transmission [06:37] foo: does aplay throw any errors? [06:37] !info transmission [06:37] transmission (source: transmission): free, lightweight BitTorrent client. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.06-0ubuntu6 (hardy), package size 0 kB, installed size 20 kB [06:37] transmission for SSH? [06:37] Romanian: there are many torrent clients available in ubuntu itself, you can use those. [06:37] rtorrent > transition [06:37] outbackwifi: gnu/linux has a torrent client called transmission [06:37] transmission* [06:37] bruenig: thats what i said [06:37] also, you can download a lot of different torrent clients for linux [06:38] yes I know all about torrents [06:38] Deluge is very nice and in the repos also (for torrents) [06:38] my unlock button is disabled on "network settings" has anyone had this problem? [06:38] uTorrent has been my favorite so far; no reason to change that for me. [06:38] willluongo: I just ran it, no errors [06:38] willluongo: man interfaces, there is some keys for default gateway there [06:38] Either way, is there any manner in which one can save all of the running torrents in rtorrent to close the client and then restart the client and have the same torrents seeding?

I just found one of the audio cables broke on my subwoofer :) [06:40] I have mysql installed and php [06:41] willluongo: although, it should still be playing from these two speakers... /me keeps looking into it [06:41] anyone know what I need to do to add the mysql extension to php?

[06:47] [T]ank: the version apt has is old. the one thet hp has is much newer [06:47] i did use aptget [06:47] Serway: sleep at a certain time every day, or a certain time from now? [06:47] jim_p, Hmm it seems that engine is already installed. I'm trying to install the "Ubuntu Dusk" theme. [06:47] viqas: so what is the problem? [06:47] leslieveljoen, sleep at a certain time from now [06:47] indian_munnda, no thanks [06:47] waan: can you give me a link to its page?? [06:47] viqas: I missed part of this - if you're installing openbox, I'd also suggest obconf and obmenu. Might make life a little easier [06:47] jim_p, when i try to open any terminal, such as aterm, gnome-terminal it appears then disappears [06:47] Hi all. I recently flashed my BIOS, and now the Ubuntu Server Install gives me errors or hangs. Anyone know what to do? I'll give the rest of the details. [06:48] Guys, my microphone isn't recording anything, what could be the cause? I have an Acer Travelmate 2200 Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron [06:48] leslieveljoen, and is it possible to have it wake up at a certain time aswell? [06:48] jim_p, sure, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ubuntu+Dust?content=88790 [06:48] Serway: man shutdown [06:48] Isaac_: pastebin the error [06:48] does anyone know if there is a JAR tool in synaptic package manager?- To compile a program into .JAR. [06:48] Serway: yes, the command is 'sudo /etc/acpi/slep.sh', and try 'at' command for timing [06:48] here is what I did: [06:48] I'm trying to turn an older system (P2 400 MMX) into a file server. Before I flashed my BIOS, Ubuntu Server was working just fine. Then I decided to reformat the hard drive so that I can run a Windows 98 Internet Diagnostic Program in order to detect my BIOS so that a technician would email me with the appropriate upgrade. After successfully flashing my BIOS, I then put in the Ubuntu Server... [06:48] ...Edition 8.04.1. It took me to a boot-option screen that said this: "The Default Installation is suitable for servers, and installs only the base system. Afterwards, you may install additional packages of your choice from the CD. Press F1 for help and advanced installation options. boot:" I hit enter, and it says, "ACPI: Unable to Load System Description Tables" and the system hangs. I...

[07:38] I mean the package is not installed but i want to know the files it contain [07:38] shepherd: What? You dont. Just know that there generally isn't a single "best" program. [07:39] outbackwifi: i just installed 8.04.1, and then i believe i updated a kernel with the global upgrade feature [07:39] kaushal: the dpkg command is another way to do that [07:39] i actually dont know how to tell what compiler my kernel was compiled with [07:40] administrator: never mind, just compile ndiswrapper with whatever gcc came with your install [07:40] how can I change how my cpus get throttled when I'm on battery power with a laptop?

[07:53] shepherd: You can use a liveCD [07:53] oh [07:53] ok [07:54] test: the link i gave you have some basic tutorials, you just need to know some variables and the way of handling incoming parameters, the rest is on your shell scripting capabilities [07:54] shepherd: It's a part of GNU coreutils, so it should be available on *any* liveCD you pick.

[07:59] Flannel: I would like to use the apt repositories.. plus add some of our own software in there to make it easy for the employees to upgrade their software === vorlon is now known as sladen [07:59] sleepster: Ah, you also may be interested in creating a mirror for internal use, so you can fetch updates externally only once. [07:59] Flannel: that would be nice too.. that would help a lot [08:00] bobertdos: yeah like what Ali_ix said [08:00] Flannel: but there are some internal stuff that we use that I would like to add there to allow people to update them [08:00] test: i just checked that before, didn't find any [08:00] !apt-proxy | sleepster [08:00] sleepster: apt-proxy is a program that acts as a local apt repository server for a LAN, only fetching from the internet when required.

Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [08:03] sleepster: You'd end up setting up your own separate repository (it'd be on the same server, etc, but instead of "hardy" it'd be "foobar" or whatever). [08:03] is someone controlling ubottu? [08:04] ubottu is set up to auto respond to certain keywords [08:04] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:04] shepherd: not directly, we just invoke it. The ops have maintenance control over him. [08:04] wtf, no web page loads for me now [08:04] Flannel: oh I see.. so I would have the apt-proxy.. and then in my apt.sources, I would also have my own apt server.. okay makes sense.. thanks [08:04] weird [08:04] DMNT: checkj yout DNS settings [08:05] I'm on DHCP [08:05] DMNT: so may be your dhcp-offered dns server is down, just try to ping a domain and se if it resolves to IP or not [08:06] okay, the whole campus network is having problems [08:06] great timing [08:06] dns server problems [08:06] what do people do with ubuntu? most users dont play games right? what is the main thing to do on linux?

You can also change run levels... [08:20] Mordocai: he need to stop X and start installing driver in terminal [08:20] Under Debian or Suse I would change to console ctrl+alt+f1, and then type "init 1". This doesent work with ubuntu, ... I cant get a console after i typed int 1! [08:20] thx dronix, works with wicd [08:21] Atax: well, if all else fails, you can go into the configuration and change the default run level to 3, instead of 5, then reboot... [08:21] Atax: You don't need to type init 1 to get a console. There are 6 ttys available already (you're already there with ctrl-alt-f1) [08:21] Atax: no need to change runlevel, just stop gdm [08:21] Atax: If you want single user mode, choose it from your grub menu.

I have a question. If I forget to turn on my hardware wireless radio switch at boot, my network is not working. Okay. If I then turn the radio switch on, it takes up to 10 minutes before networkmanager is rescanning and connects to my accesspoint. My question is, how can I force networkmanager (or ubuntu) to scan for AP's? I have tried "sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning" but that does only work when am connected(?!) [09:01] * RocknLnX I need serious help. I mistakenly pressed ctrl alt backspace I had a lot of windows open at the time as well as a few instances of firefox browser windows and other things. Now I dont have the upper or lower control panels and all I can do is start programs using the terminal. I just manged to start compiz until now I could not even type in the field to chat here.Also when I have tried restarting X a couple of times but each time [09:02] * RocknLnX I cant rmember the rest I'm too stressed [09:02] RocknLnX: "gnome-panel &&" at the terminal [09:02] RocknLnX: please do not abuse /me [09:02] jim_p: ok [09:03] crd1b: np [09:03] jim_p: now what [09:04] Hey all, quick question about Python and $PATH. I want to be able to execute a python script no matter where I am when browsing in the file system. I think this means I just need to make my script executable (done) and moved to /usr/local/bin (done), then use it by typing ./script.py Unfortunately this doesn't work - bash says it can't find it. [09:04] how can I change the permission of multiple files using a permission code (like 644) [09:04] RocknLnX: dont you have panels now? [09:05] jim_p: no it went to next line and this >[curser] [09:06] RocknLnX: ctrl +C to get back to prompt [09:06] NicEXE: is there some pattern these files follow? Do you want to do it to all files in the directory? or just ones that end in .jpg, etc? [09:06] fondor1: the ./ part means look in this directory - try just script.py [09:06] jim_p: I have 3 terminal windows open, I'm afraid to close them because when I closed one(but it was the only one) loged me out [09:06] RocknLnX: did you put the " " too?

[09:36] Sdz: I can probably connect manually to the accesspoint with iwconfig. But that is not what I want. Its hard also because network is wpa-eps. [09:36] Sdz: are you helping technoid_ out? [09:36] Sdz: oh ok nm [09:37] No outbackwifi :P [09:37] outback: it has lo, eth0, wmaster0, wlan0 [09:37] Sdz: I want networkmanager (or ubuntu) to scan the air again for wireless accesspoints. Its only doing that every 10 minute or so..

[09:38] Crungmungus: ok, that looks good, and your using firefox yes, not konqueror ? [09:38] Gotta mail me that command now :d [09:38] yes firefox [09:38] hello all I'm totally new so please bare with me [09:38] Crungmungus: one moment [09:38] technoid_: sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning [09:38] technoid_: what does that say [09:39] outback: i get back "No scan results" [09:39] Sdz: Maybe restart of networkmanager will do the trick?

Maybe there's a command to restart manager and then it will scan when it starts ? [09:41] anywhere I can get a little tutoring on irc [09:41] technoid_: is it configured to broadcast ssid or operate in silent mode [09:41] broadcast the ssid [09:42] technoid_: is the wireless switch on the laptop (if it is one) on?

Thanks. http://pastebin.com/m525dd801 [10:10] he asking if you know what the problem is and you saying "what" .... classical :-) [10:10] Barthoz: Probably that your driver, due to some bug or misconfiguration, does not support texture_from_pixmap correctly for two users at once ( causing compiz to fail giving a white screen when you log in with the second user ) [10:10] Sdz sorry to bother you but you should check out this KVIRC 3 [10:10] Peddy: do you want to setup a dhcp server or a client [10:11] it's really nice [10:11] rfxc: i dont use KDE stuff [10:11] Peddy: No subnet declaration for eth0 (0.0.0.0). [10:11] how i fix it ?:P [10:11] Why what is wrong with it [10:11] rfxc: i'm on gnome :) i prefer gnome apps and i like my client. + i gotta use web clients because i'm on bad network [10:11] outbackwifi: server [10:11] outbackwifi: yeah, how do I give it a subnet declaration? [10:11] Barthoz: Remove compiz, or run "metacity --replace" and disable compiz. [10:11] rfxc: if you load a KDE app in Gnome, it also loads some parts of KDE so more ressources are used [10:11] I too am on gnome but this works fine [10:11] Does apt automatically delete deb files after a while? === mija_na is now known as mija [10:12] ah I see [10:12] wonder if there is a gnome version === schmick_ is now known as schmick [10:12] ok ty [10:13] Flynsarmy: afaik no - there is apt-get clean to clear the old debs [10:13] Peddy: you need to see the sample dhcpd.conf file [10:13] Peddy: it has all the sample subnet declarations [10:13] hey does anyone know how to convert mpeg 4 files to a format that the ps3 can play ? [10:13] Flynsarmy: No, you can make it clear out all .debs with "sudo apt-get clean" or only out of date ones with "sudo apt-get autoclean" [10:14] Peddy: like so http://pastebin.com/f52476dcd [10:15] outbackwifi: thanks, i was getting a bit confused :P [10:15] hi how do i install beryl? [10:15] !beryl | matthijs_ [10:15] matthijs_: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [10:15] Jordan_U, by 'out of date' do you mean ones with a timestamp that is older than some arbitrary value or will it only remove ones taht there are a newer version of? [10:15] matthijs_: beryl is dead, compiz-fusion replaced it and is already installed on ubuntyu 8.04 [10:15] outbackwifi: should I change the subnet? [10:16] matthijs_: i think there is a compiz package you can install to fine tune your effects [10:16] how? [10:16] Peddy: yes and also mark the interface to listen on [10:16] !compiz > matthijs_ [10:16] matthijs_, please see my private message [10:16] ok, ty [10:16] does ubuntu have a software that convert mp3 to dm file?? [10:16] dm? [10:16] Flynsarmy: from "man apt-get" : Like clean, autoclean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files. The difference is that it only removes package files that can no longer be downloaded, and are largely useless. [10:17] how to run DRM Packager in ubuntu?? [10:17] Peddy: http://www.bind9.net/dhcpd.conf [10:17] u know for cell phone ringtone? [10:17] outbackwifi: when I try to start it: dhcpd self-test failed. Please fix the config file.

[10:18] i need to run sony ericsson DRM Packager to convert mp3 to their ringtone file [10:18] the thing is they only have windows or osx version [10:18] kelvin911: Have you tried running sony's software in wine?

[10:22] indian_munnda: where you want the password on grub? I've never seen this before... if it was me i would put on a system (cmos/bios) password [10:22] indian_munnda: uncomment the line "password topsecret" and replace "topsecret" with your password, or use --md5 and the md5 hash of the password [10:22] Peddy: you need to change lines 113 to 117 to suit your requirement; that was only a sample [10:23] Jordan_U: Does this apply to ALL operating system or ca nyou decide which O/S needs a password? [10:23] Jordan_U: where to put that,i mean in which file? [10:23] I have a ~4 year old IBM T40 notebook on which I just blew Windows away and replaced it with Ubuntu hardy. I am noticing that the performance is very bad compared to windows (yes, that is really saying something!). I have installed the correct ATI drivers etc, but when I open multiple tabs in firefox etc the system really lags. This did not happen in Windoze. Anyone got any tips on how to speed this old beast up? It's a 1.5ghz Centrino with 51 [10:23] 2mb ram.

[11:09] bazhang hardy [11:09] ray__: irssi wouldn't do anything to affect xchat. This just seems like a font issue. Go into your xchat preferences and tell me the font being used [11:10] jrib no its my wireless light [11:10] on my intel 3945 on dell e1505 laptop [11:10] ray__: That's an effect of the new drivers, ipw3945 [11:11] ray__: iwl3945, sorry. [11:11] rfxcasey: irssi wouldn't do anything to affect xchat. This just seems like a font issue.

Because you can turn your wireless on and off with the button still. (I have a 3945 card as well) [11:12] jrib sorry system terminal font the default [11:12] rfxcasey: erm, ok. Try 1) closing xchat, then 2) run in a terminal 'mv ~/.xchat2 ~/.xchat2.backup' 3) then start xchat again [11:12] Indoctrine in dell laptop [11:12] jrib I don't have the names columb on the right anymore either [11:12] ray__: Nah, in an Acer laptop for me [11:12] ok brb [11:13] Hello!

[11:15] Indoctrine: In an ntfs partition? [11:15] Indoctrine can i see what you found [11:15] energY: I thought you just meant a folder on a USB disk, in that case there's probably no way to find it [11:15] jrib I don't think it worked right [11:16] ray__: did you run mv ~/.xchat2 ~/.xchat2.backup without the quotes? [11:16] jrib not xchat [11:16] iwp3945 [11:16] ray__: yeah sorry, got lazy with tab :) [11:16] its ok [11:16] Indoctrine how i roll back the driver for my wireless card [11:16] hi, got one problem in installing drivers for thinkfinger in ubuntu [11:17] ray__: you need to find out what the name of the package is that you want to revert. There are several packages in the hardy-backports repository [11:17] ray__: I'm looking for the page. [11:17] Indoctrine: Stop lying. No data is really gone, as long as you dont overvrite it [11:17] i'm trying to install Canon LBP-2900 usb laser printer on 8.04 32bit, printer detects on lsusb and it recive print orders in list, but gives no result on printer. spmebody maybe have some tips how to get this runing ?

[11:17] can anyone tell me if there is a way to back up your system as a live cd in ubuntu 8.04? [11:17] energY: if nothing there works, boot windows. There are a bunch of utilities to recover files from ntfs on windows [11:18] http://linuxtechie.wordpress.com/2008/04/24/making-intel-wireless-3945abg-work-better-on-ubuntu-hardy/ ray__ [11:18] Indoctrine: Thats what I am asking for! [11:18] That's the one I was looking for, bazhang [11:18] jrib is there a why to display all the names in the room on a sidebar? I thought I saw that before [11:18] can I change the way that network manager connects with vpn? on connect I must do "dhclient br0" and on disconnect I must do "dhclient eth0 && ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0" to work [11:18] energY: I never said I knew [11:18] jrib: I guess the partition is damaged, I have to force mount. And it wont appear in windows... [11:18] rfxcasey: yes, but I don't know how to enable it offhand [11:18] sorry.. on disconnect "dhclient br0 && ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0" [11:19] Indoctrine i got a Intel Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection on my laptop [11:19] ray__: sudo rmmod iwl3945 && modprobe iwl3945 will also work, it depends on your config though, I think [11:19] jrib is it a plugin [11:19] rfxcasey: nope [11:19] ray__: I have one too. [11:19] ray__: I had the same problem, but I learned to live without the little light. :P [11:19] rfxcasey:should be able to drag the right side panel [11:19] Indoctrine how long dose that take [11:19] ? [11:19] well, can some one help me with one cmd in termiknal? [11:20] ray__: How long does what take? [11:20] vr8mf: best to just ask the channel your question [11:20] that command [11:20] Did you look at this? [20:18] http://linuxtechie.wordpress.com/2008/04/24/making-intel-wireless-3945abg-work-better-on-ubuntu-hardy/ ray__ [11:20] yes [11:20] see there no light [11:20] and some time dont connecrt [11:21] ray__: Have to tried following what it says on there?

[11:22] jrib yea I saw that but I can't drag it [11:23] Hello all, I am attempting to install kubuntu 8.04 on another machine which is directly hooked up to a cable modem, I get the message "could not parse the XML output from the network configuration backend" when attempting to connect to the Internet, looked it up on kubuntu forums, no solution yet. Please help. [11:23] Hello all. I am trying to compile the latest exim. In the 'make' process I get this "dbstuff.h:103:16: error: db.h: No such file or directory". I have installte dhe db4.6-util but I think I need its devel package, which I can't seem to find. Any ideas ? === kira is now known as Guest1848 [11:25] jrib is this auto accept dcc file transfers a bad thing to have on cause it's on by default [11:25] jrib seem like a security risk [11:25] question: I want to copy stuff into a folder but ubuntu doesnt let me. how do I open the folder with cmd? === Guest1848 is now known as kira [11:26] rfxcasey: yeah, I would turn it off [11:26] nero_: Does ubuntu use cmd? [11:26] lmao [11:26] no I mean what do i have to type into console to open the folder [11:26] it says that I'm not the owner [11:26] so I cant change permissions. [11:26] nero_: cd /folder/so-on [11:26] type sudo nautilus [11:26] i want to copy something into this folder [11:26] i can open it but i cant create files in it [11:27] vr8mf: you need to tell the channel exactly what you are doing (and repeat it for the people trying to help you now who did not see what you said before) [11:27] nero_, type "sudo nautilus" [11:27] jrib what's the difference between using xchat gnome and regular xchat [11:27] ok, I just figured out I needed the libdb4.6-dev package to get on with the compile process. Solved. [11:28] doesnt work [11:28] is there another way? [11:28] rfxcasey: they are different programs. xchat-gnome is more simplistic (less options) [11:28] something with sudo chown -R user:group ~/.etwolf/ [11:28] cooo_________! [11:28] i follow a tutorial for instaling Fingerprint reader on my dell with ubuntu, and i got an error to a comand. the comand is ./configure --with.... and the error is ./configure no such file or directori [11:28] trilobiti: sudo apt-get build-dep exim [11:28] jrib are they both native gnome [11:29] is there a way to know how long my system has been on? [11:29] rfxcasey: I don't know what that means [11:29] vr8mf, that's because there is no file called configure in your current directory [11:29] xchat is so much better than mIRC ^_^ [11:29] zetheroo-ubuntu: uptime [11:29] hi here [11:29] jrib : thanks [11:29] zetheroo-ubuntu: yes [11:29] jagggy: but everything work good till now [11:29] co [11:30] h here anyone knows if i can get freenx/nopmachien to work on a ubuntu hardy for ppc [11:30] how can i change the ownership of a folder?

I doubt it uses any special gnome libraries, but it might [11:31] rfxcasey: the gnome version is more gnomish :) It probably tries to conform to the gnome HIG. I doubt it uses any special gnome libraries, but it might [11:31] * jrib gives up [11:31] ray__: Up in the right hand corner, you have the signal bars.

[11:40] i got 'file operations' that has gotten stuck i think its cause im copying files from a bad cd, how do i stop the process of copying and eject the cd?

[11:41] vr8mf, why did you make it in the first place? :s [11:41] jrib: thanx, will try it....but just out of curiousity...how would you normally handle the spaces if you want to do a for loop?

[11:42] stapel: don't know about using a for loop, but you can usually just do this: find -print0 | xargs -0 command . #bash might know more [11:42] jrib xchat-systray [11:42] jagggy: couse you tell me it is no file called configure wen i try to run the cmd [11:42] indoctrine how i roll back the driver for the card [11:42] \thing these are caseing me problem [11:42] ray__: I've already helped as much as I can [11:43] rfxcasey: k, but the default xchat already has a tray icon.

[11:45] vr8mf, ok, look you can't execute a directory, there should be a file in the source which is called configure you need that one [11:45] Indoctrine: do you know the package? [11:45] jrib: Yes, but it's also deprecated [11:45] waan: ~/.themes/ [11:45] jrib i have back port [11:45] jigggy: can i send you a link of what i did so far? [11:46] Indoctrine: but ray__ claims he's using a -backports version. Surely, the version in the normal repositories should be ok? [11:46] jrib: I think he means he has backports activated. [11:46] jrib yes its pre-release one [11:46] I'm confused now. O_o [11:46] hello [11:46] Indoctrine: so backports has nothing to do with it then? me too. [11:46] jrib ok I think I'm good send me a message if you will so I can see if it all works [11:47] rfxcasey: ok [11:47] jrib: Well, iwl3945 is the old, deprecated driver, he wants to revert from ipw3945 to that one so that his wireless light will work [11:47] jrib, It doesn't appear there, I'm using the Login Manager to install themes [11:48] jrib hit me up once more please [11:48] waan: gdm themes?

[11:49] How do I free up whatever is using my cd drive and eject my cd? :( I dont find anything under ps aux [11:49] jrib, so they are backed up along with all my other themes and things [11:49] rfxcasey: install the libnotify-bin package [11:50] waan: hmm. Why not just have your backup program backup that directory as well? [11:50] ,j do I have to restart [11:50] rfxcasey: maybe xchat if it doesn't work after you install [11:50] jrib no works like a charm [11:51] jrib, my backup program is dragging my home dir :) Would a symbolic link in the home dir do the job of including it? [11:51] jrib how do I set up the name autocomplete [11:51] waan: that was going to be my next suggestion :) It will probably work [11:51] jrib, ok thanks for your help [11:51] rfxcasey: just type the beginning of someone's name like "jr" and then press TAB [11:52] jrib, gotcha [11:53] Hello everyone. I want to redirect any outgoing connections to a squid proxy. How can I do that ?

[11:56] can any1 help with printer connection? [11:56] trying to slice of about 1 G [11:56] rfxcasey: last one please, use #ubuntu-offtopic for something like this [11:56] *slice off* [11:56] anakln: but should be safe enoguh (many ubuntu installs shrink ntfs partitions to make room for ubuntu without probelms) [11:56] jagggy: ok you had right. i check in the another directory and finally works.and a wrong writing cmd. thank you for your time [11:56] when is the release for 8.10??

I've been having difficulty finding much about it, though the UPEK website has SDKs for Linux that they say have been tested in Ubuntu. Anybody know anything about support for biometric fingerprint devices? [12:15] koshari: its ok, and not I was right about ldm, I am using ltsp as in ubuntu, it is the login method for the clients [12:16] PsionicFungus: whe will need to know what model [12:16] UPEK TouchChip Fingerprint Coprocessor [12:16] PsionicFungus: model number?

Checking it out now [12:18] if you have a x64 processor does that mean you can run a x64 OS? [12:18] H3NRY, yes [12:18] H3NRY: yes if you have a x86_64 perocessor you can run 64bit ubuntu (amd64) [12:19] cool... so i have been trying to install ubuntu and have been having a lot of problems [12:19] http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/2324/0930080558zk1.jpg [12:19] that is the errors i have been getting when starting the install [12:19] Excellent, erUSUL. This should take care of it, hopefully. If not, you'll be hearing from me again soon [12:19] :) [12:19] yhea, and there s a gentoo guide to get it work , doersnt means it s going to be easty , but it s possible to get it works [12:19] hi [12:19] humm [12:19] I want to implement status in my init script [12:19] how can i do it [12:20] I mean /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 status [12:21] H3NRY, either a problem with your DVD/CD Drive or the harddrive... but never seen it while installing [12:21] humm [12:21] may anyone enlighten me on how it happens than dependencies are not installables ? [12:21] yeah i was thinking "ata1" was something about the harddrive [12:22] orogor: the packages referenced by one as dependencis do not exist or are not aviable in the repos you have enabled [12:22] where can i find ppl to talk to on ekagi? [12:22] orogor: i saw that you are usinga ppa archive... maybe that repos is bogus ?? [12:22] H3NRY, what drive are you trying to install it? [12:23] on the first IDE hard drive. i have a bran new mobo that has ata and sata [12:23] erSUL maybe but i am a former gentoo user , not yet uqsed to ubuntu stuff, i do try to check idf it s bogus , but as i can tell , all looks fone for the moment [12:24] ECS NFORCE6M-A [12:24] hi [12:24] help [12:24] I get a ./configure error while trying to compile tinyfugue, (it worked in gutsy, but now updated to hardy) I get: "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" heres the whole config.log http://pastebin.com/f6e6d1acd [12:24] need to know how to open msdatabase using 000 === eric is now known as Guest85982 [12:25] can anyone help me [12:25] So, who's got a simple question?

[12:26] orogor: i have navigated the repo an althought they calim to have ppc packages thay actually only have i386 and amd64 :( see here http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ubuntu/pool/main/f/freenx-server/ [12:27] status function ? u mean, like, run/start/stop ? [12:27] the actual drive model type is an IBM Deskstar [12:27] pici ok, will do =) [12:28] H3NRY, I found that thread which has the same problem as you : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=892657 [12:28] awesome.. thanks [12:28] erUSUL : If you want ppc, you'll have to resolt to older version of ubuntu. get it from old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [12:28] H3NRY, however its not much help, you use a PATA drive? [12:28] orogor: well and lpia (whatever it is) [12:28] yes [12:28] erUSUL, gah [12:28] admint didnt checked all the links [12:29] admit i .. [12:29] Graa [12:29] orogor: is not your fault but theirs [12:29] hi all, are there any spellcheck packages which add german spellcheck dictionaries to vim 7.1 in hardy? [12:29] well..... i have the PATA drive and the SATA drive... the SATA is the one i use for windows... the PATA i am going to use for ubuntu [12:30] orogor: uif you look here they seem to claim support for many archs http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/ but in the pool of packages only 3 archs have the corresponding debs [12:30] any one from australia or newzealand? [12:30] orogor: so it is their error not your [12:31] H3NRY, well it has definitly something to do with either the HD or the controller... however I have no solution [12:31] the issue is that as i understand from here : https://launchpad.net/~freenx-team/+archive/ [12:31] they are supposed to be a team specialised on makijng ppa packages [12:31] thank you tho for the time to help [12:31] dew5: Used to live there. how's it going, mate :-) [12:31] and thats the ones misssing [12:31] i will just scrap the hard drive [12:31] :) [12:32] b64aa6 good mate [12:32] Hello everybody [12:32] where you now? [12:32] hello elzoog [12:32] orogor: well they do but only for i386, amd64 and lpia [12:32] Ah. Remenber the good? ol days of hell from telstra... [12:33] lol im still with telstra [12:33] dew5: what's up, stuck somewhere? [12:33] Here is a question, after doing a hdparm -Tt command it says "Timing cached reads: 8386 MB in 2.00 seconds = 4197.09 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 264 MB in 3.05 seconds = 86.63 MB/sec" Would that be considered fast? [12:33] dew5: in japan [12:33] elzoog: yep [12:34] b64aa6 wow japan [12:34] what you doing there? [12:34] dew5: stuck here for the moment. Going off th canada in 3 month time. [12:35] H3NRY, your welcome (this pdf indicates that it might be a bad sector -> http://linux.derkeiler.com/pdf/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2008-01/msg11585.pdf) [12:35] need help please i reformatted a slave drive but now it says i do not have permission to wright to it can anyone advise plase [12:35] I have the SATA hard drive loaded as an IDE instead of AHCI because AHCI doesn't work under Windows XP [12:35] b64aa6 i have a friend in canada. what distro you useing [12:35] thank you.. and this is why i like ubuntu :) [12:36] dew5: ubuntu edgy, now installing interpid for test. this is a puppy. [12:36] elzoog: it works if you install the drivers (it does not work during install unless you use the f6 thingy to load drivers) [12:36] orogor: ppa stands fo "personal package archives" not ppc "power pc" arch [12:36] b64aa6 interpid good aparently. i just installed dsl on my nieces pc [12:37] Would AHCI be significantly faster, or not fast enough to be worth the bother? [12:37] dew5: ah. the've gto good naming. it is, after all, damn small... [12:37] !addingfs | vallhalla81 [12:37] vallhalla81: If you are adding space to your Ubuntu installation mounting a newly created unix filesystem (ext3, xfs, jfs, etc) you can not set permissions (read, write, etc) filesystem-wide like you do when mounting filesystems that do not support unix permissions (vfat, ntfs, hfs, etc). See !permissions and !fstab [12:37] elzoog: ahci is usually nicer than the alternatives.. it has NCQ, hotplug etc [12:38] !permissions [12:38] b64aa6 yea it is runs like a dream. might be technical for her though [12:38] What advantages would NCQ and hotplug give me? [12:38] dew5: i'm testing on interpid, but wondering... might be a silly question, but anyone know what the manifest file is used for? [12:38] elzoog: NCQ -> faster [12:38] !fstab [12:39] dew5: yeah, i use puppy on browsing, such a charm /speed. [12:39] Anybody have experience using Avidemux? I have a slight problem to resolve, thanks. [12:39] !permissions [12:39] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [12:39] I also had trouble getting ubuntu to see the LAN port on my motherboard. So instead of messing with it I found an old ethernet card for $5 so I am using that [12:39] !fstab [12:39] 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 [12:40] b64aa6 Perl's MakeMaker assumes that you want to run all of the .t files in the t/ directory in ascii-betical order during `make test` unless you say otherwise. This leads to some interesting naming schemes for test files to get them in the desired order. Test::Manifest looks in the t/test_manifest file to find out which tests you want to run and the order in which you want to run them. It constructs the right value for MakeMaker to do the right thing. [12:40] Anyway, I finally got the system working so I'm probably not going to mess around with it [12:42] b64aa6 http://packages.ubuntu.com/hu/intrepid/libtest-manifest-perl cheak this out [12:42] ? [12:42] anyone know how to send slit apps into background of a window ? [12:43] if i have a bin file under ~/bin, how do i make my system recognice its there? [12:43] anyone use gnusense? how do packages (up-to-dateness) compare? [12:43] dew5: wait... that's new to me. :-) ... and I've learnt that I must be clearler in what i say... But thanks, learned someting new :-) ... Any info on the other manifest /casper/filesystem.manifest-desktop ??? [12:43] pignu: if this is the first time you have created ~/bin/, just log out and back in [12:43] hm ok [12:43] brb [12:45] sew5: I was extracting the stuff from interpid iso image (using puppy, as my edgy does not support squashfs v3.1) and found that i need to build the manifest... can i leave it out :-) ? [12:47] b64aa6 not to sure mate [12:47] sorry] [12:48] Nobody have any experience with Avidemux for photos and videos? [12:48] dew5: The true question is where is the /casper/filesystem.manifest used.... it's not on the ubuntu forum, and no info from debian... no prob, mate, thanks for the effort, anyway.... :-) [12:48] hey ppl ! [12:49] o/ [12:49] pignu: set the PATH enviroment varable to add ~/bin , then export it via export PATH [12:49] guys this tcl tk thing is reaaaaallly annoying. i want to compile amsn using tcl 8.5 yet always when i ./configure it links to 8.4 how do i change that ? [12:50] b64aa6: that happens automatically with the default ~/.profile if ~/bin exists [12:50] or how can i change the global parameter so that hardy will always point to 8.5 instead of 8.4 [12:50] jrib: not the case when you use the broken sun java installer.. [12:50] lordmorgoth: ./configure --help [12:50] b64aa6: huh? [12:50] when running the live CD, where are files stored if I download them with firefox, or create them with a text editor, or install a new program? my HDD isn't even formatted. Are they stored solely in RAM? [12:51] jrib: some stuff need manual export of PATH, so... [12:51] question: I have problem installing a game Ufo AI. When i try to run the run installer it comes up with this: nero@nero-laptop:~/Desktop$ ufoai-2.2.1-linux.run [12:51] bash: ufoai-2.2.1-linux.run: command not found [12:51] nero@nero-laptop:~/Desktop$ [12:51] hello [12:51] jrib, anyway to change it globally ? [12:51] hey I'm using OppenOffice 2.4.1 and when i have 1 file open and want to open a new file with ä.ö or ü in the filename (i want to open with double click on it) i get an error (file does not exist)....anyone knows how to fix that? [12:51] b64aa6: how would exporting PATH in ~/.profile or manually running have different results? [12:51] i am trying to get a firewire drive to pick up. i am not getting anything. any help? [12:51] nero_: put a "./" (without the quotes) before the file name to tell it that it resides in the local directory [12:51] heya... i ejected my DVD drive, it closed (and is now empty) but now, even though eject shows "SCSI eject succeeded" it just sits there - no eject - any ideas how to fix this? [12:52] lordmorgoth: I don't know what that means [12:52] xbxb: normaly on the tmpfs, (the kernel builtin filesystem on memory) [12:52] hey [12:52] jrib ie hardy will by default point to 8.5 not 8.4 [12:52] lordmorgoth: I don't know what that means [12:52] b64aa6: thx [12:52] can someone give me a hand, so i can learn how to set up a SSH server [12:52] hey I'm using OppenOffice 2.4.1 and when i have 1 file open and want to open a new file with ä.ö or ü in the filename (i want to open with double click on it) i get an error (file does not exist)....anyone knows how to fix that? [12:52] !ssh > sledge [12:52] sledge, please see my private message [12:53] jrib: Long story short, if you want to co-exist diffrent version of java on ubuntu, using the broken sun installer, 3 enviroment varables must be set. Using profile won't cut it in this case [12:54] b64aa6: I don't see how that can be the case, but I'll keep it in mind if I see some issue about it [12:54] jrib:but off topic, i guess [12:54] jrib: sorry for the off topic. [12:55] b64aa6: nah, it was ok. We were just supporting each other :) [12:55] oh thanks [12:55] jrib.. so would i enter my IP? [12:55] from putty [12:55] xbxb: I solved it with ticking run a program under permission [12:56] sledge: sure, that would work (assuming you've followed the steps on the wiki to install openssh-server on the server) [12:56] yeah [12:56] it said something tho [12:56] sledge: share the "something" [12:56] can someone give me a hand with firewire [12:56] The authenticity of host 'localhost (127.0.0.1)' can't be established." [12:57] sledge: you're connecting to your own computer? [12:57] ya to test it [12:57] sledge: with putty? why not just use 'ssh' in a shell? [12:57] well i am in college [12:57] and when i get to the uni, i want to be able to send and receive files through the shell [12:57] how would i do that? [12:57] does it work like a FTP [12:58] Experence with rebuilding live-CD of ubuntu needed... anyone have time? [12:58] maybe i could just setup an FTP [12:58] sledge: it's fine. Just seems strange to me to use putty on linux. Let's make sure you can actually ssh first. Did it succeed? [12:58] yep [12:58] jrib because my school uses windblows [12:58] sledge: to transfer files you can use a program like winscp [12:59] sledge: you need to setup your router so you can connect from the outside world though [13:01] i recently installed gtalk.exe from wine but im recieving a error " could not authenticate server retry" but still i can use the same mail from pidgin [13:01] to sign in [13:01] what to do [13:02] ok, about my problem with cron... [13:02] its display is also very bad i cant see test in buttons [13:03] jrib ya thanks [13:03] i have created a small script to start csync2 [13:03] i can start the script in bash and sh without problems [13:03] but cron can't start the script [13:05] marc-andre: I understand you have problems with the crontab file that tells cron what to execute and when to execute. yes? [13:06] b64aa6: i don't know if it's the crontab file, in syslog i see that cron "starts" the script [13:06] jrib can you connect to it [13:06] but it's not really executed [13:06] Hi all [13:07] can i find yahoo.msi to run yahoo messenger in ubuntu? [13:07] sledge: on your current ip that your connected to this channel with? [13:07] marc-andre:if you think the crontab file is written on the correct format, then write a simple script that , say, performs a simple stuff, like write a file out to known location, or display a dialg box, and check if the script really is being run with the correct primission [13:08] ama: Don't bother. Use Pidgen to get to yahoo messenger [13:08] someone message me I need to test my sounds [13:08] elzoog:yes i m using pidgin now but i want to run yahoo as like in windows using wine to have voice chat can i? [13:09] too bad pidgin doesn't have a voip plugin [13:09] I've got a process running for 8 hours now. Is there a way to find out how many MB it has written to a disc (or generally used in I/O)? [13:09] rfxcasey: . [13:09] .

[13:11] darn it's not working [13:11] b64aa6: '* * * * * root echo "text" > /var/log/test.log' does what it should do, my script is executed the same way [13:11] t doesn t seems to be in the folder i was building stuff [13:11] I have installed ubuntu on a 32GB flash drive and all works fine except it is exceptionally slow. I checked the cpu usage and its only at 4% and never gets any higher no matter what I do. Can someone point me in the right direction please ? [13:11] marc-andre: what is csync2? [13:11] does anyone know in xchat what is the option to play a sound when your name is used [13:12] rfxcasey, Preferences -> Chatting -> Alerts [13:12] Azzmodan, but what in alerts [13:13] "Highlighted Message" === vorian is now known as stevie [13:13] jrib: cluster synchronisation [13:13] marc-andre:here's a problem simular to yours, and a solution. make sure to check primission, and exsistance of dots and space on the script filename http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-670293.html [13:13] marc-andre: it's a gui program? [13:13] jrib: nope [13:13] marc-andre:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto.

I've been playing Avidemux which seems excellent, but can't find the right format to use and can't find any instructions on how to use anywhere!!!! [13:24] Masteredu:It wouldn't be a bad idea to wait for the newer one, but if you order the CD now, maybe you'll have it intime and you can just do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade anyway.

[15:09] blind: xkeycaps possibly [15:09] natalisushka, intel HD [15:09] LjL: I remember it being a small name, but I'll try that. [15:10] anyway, i tried to reformat windows and when i put the disk in i gott buffer errors and stuff. went to the IT store around the corner, he said it's my HDD. but then cam home and installed Ubuntu and here i am. Is it possible to have your HDD not install windows but install ubuntu??? [15:10] H3NRY: The usb vendor id and product id will be the same no matter what OS you are using. It's to identify what the device attached to usb is. 0d08 [15:10] if anyone else wants to stream videos pictures and music from pc to ps3 wireless they can use "MediaTomb is an open source (GPL) UPnP MediaServer with a nice web user interface, it allows you to stream your digital media through your home network and listen to/watch it on a variety of UPnP compatible devices." [15:10] jokibroki; i'm gonna try mediatomb thanks [15:10] is that in the repos??? [15:10] blind: the only package that starts with a "e" and contains the word "key" in the description is e16keyedit [15:10] maek do you think Dell is a good brand? If I want to compare Dell, Samsung, ASUS, Acer, LG ... what do you suggest of for linux (ubuntu) ? [15:10] yeah it is [15:10] H3NRY: UTStarcom is registered as vendor id 0d08 or something like that. [15:11] so like odo8&pid_0300&mi blah blah? [15:11] blind: well, and that looks like having anything to do with the keyboard === fReAkY[t] is now known as freaky[t] [15:11] LjL: I don't believe it contains "key" in the name. [15:11] I remember it being like 3-4 letters, eod or something like that.. [15:11] so what do i do with that? [15:11] yep, that sounds like it. Keep a note of that value. You'll use it later in ubuntu when you are in trouble [15:11] blind: not in the name, in the full package description [15:11] oh. [15:11] ok [15:11] blind: Are you thinking of xev? [15:11] well it has been a couple years, maybe it's obsolete :P [15:12] YES [15:12] natalisushka, depends on the hardware in the laptop .. since they put all different sorts of hardware in dell laptops [15:12] Thank you, Pici [15:12] blind: Surely [15:12] flgurdin: I don't see vino in synaptec [15:12] Pici: and even then, it's obsolete apparently [15:12] how to make a directory on from a terminal ? [15:12] murlidhar: man mkdir [15:12] H3NRY: http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids one of the list of id to Vendor lookup. [15:12] and of course, when I go to use it, it turns out my multimedia keys are already mapped.... :| [15:13] wolson_-> check again.. sudo apt-cache search vino [15:13] natalisushka, for audio have a look through this website: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page [15:13] i found it in the windows device manager [15:13] H3NRY: Since you said it's on dual boot, i'll give you sew commands that you might try out to check what's going on. Ready? [15:13] can anyone suggest me any package through which i can reduce the resolution of a video?????? [15:13] sure i ready [15:14] flgurdin: vino is already the newest version. [15:14] so it's installed? [15:14] indian_munnda: ffmpeg (cli onlY) or avidemux (gtk and qt gui) [15:14] yup [15:14] when i try to mount a drive using mount command using nfs method [15:14] i get stale file handle error [15:14] hellp [15:14] H3NRY: This will all be typed/ or copy-pasted onto the bash shell,. Making a file and pasting the input for later will help things (to see what youve done) [15:14] indian_munnda: keep in mind that you have to recode the video again and you may lose quality [15:15] anyone willing to help with intel 5300 trouble? [15:15] how to make vino startup? [15:15] er [15:15] shishirmk: what command are you using and what is the exact error? [15:15] thats sounded engrish didn't it? [15:15] ehazlett: sure [15:15] H3NRY: Type "lsusb" [15:15] jim_p: thanks [15:15] is there any free alternative to VueScan? one that can use SANE as backend would be best [15:15] LjL: what is vuescan? [15:15] H3NRY: THis command, will give all known or unknown devices that is connected to the usb. [15:15] jim_p: film scanning software [15:16] alreadydid.. it showed the usb controllers, the usb modem did not show up [15:16] jim_p: i have built the compat-wireless like the ubuntu forums said, and i can see APs, but i get "authentication timed out..." when trying to connect... [15:16] LjL: xsane? [15:16] jim_p: xsane has film scanning features? [15:16] how to reconfigure the fstab ? [15:16] H3NRY: Here is where the vendor/product id comes into play. [15:16] violetdream: what sort of wireless? Laptop? Desktop (Card or Serial Dongle)? [15:16] jim_p: can avidemux be used every format or just avi? [15:16] !gnome > nnull [15:16] nnull, please see my private message [15:16] indian_munnda: most formats. [15:17] H3NRY: lsusb shows vendor/product id of a device, even when ubuntu dosen't know what to do with it. This is the first step [15:17] LjL: what is the difference if its a film? if the device is recognised as a film scanner , it will scan [15:17] indian_munnda: any format [15:17] dd if=/dev/sdd of=/media/OneTouch4/bilde.img [15:17] jim_p: blind: thanks [15:17] oh ok [15:17] ehazlett: sorry i dont know that much :( [15:17] if ubuntu has updates, how can i check those from the terminal? not install just view them? [15:17] That would coput sdd to the onetoutch? === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [15:17] jim_p: no problem... [15:17] H3NRY-> also try lshal <-- that also gives you more info [15:17] copy* [15:17] anyone had success with intel 5300 wifi? === jim_p is now known as jim_p-lunch [15:18] H3NRY: In your case, the 0d08:: something... is what you are looking for. [15:18] sorry guys but i am starving [15:18] see you later [15:18] AdvoWork: sudo apt-get upgrade -- will show packages and give you a y/n [15:18] yes it is 0d08 [15:18] H3NRY: If you can't find the id, then we know the problem. [15:18] jim_p: what is in qt verion of demux [15:18] ? [15:19] H3NRY: If ubuntu does not list the vendor::Product id of the modem, it means Linux has failed to detect speed of usb device [15:19] like if i do lsusb and the id does not show? what would the problem be? [15:19] jim_p: the difference is that, to scan film, you need a completely different process (both to set up the scanner's hardware and to post-process) than for reflective materials: you need to make a preview pass that the software will then use to compute the optimal exposure that the scanner will have to use, you need to find (hopefully automatically) the borders of the frames, and then you need the post-processing to adjust for film gamma curves, and invert [15:19] oh ok [15:19] H3NRY: the computer can't see the device. [15:19] properly [15:19] lol... sorry i am slow [15:19] Hi where can I find information about patch for the kernel? === hateball is now known as HotGirl4U === HotGirl4U is now known as hateball [15:20] ok so if it shows what should i do from there? [15:20] H3NRY: If it is the case the id is not there, Normaly dmesg (the command to show all majour error on system ) will show up what's wrong, but because it's a bit complicated, we'll go in there if we absolutely must [15:21] cheers blind# [15:21] jim_p-lunch: what is in qt verion of demux there are some versions available which one should i install? i mean what is in QT version [15:21] my monitor just messed up. the Ctrl-Alt-F1 display is fine, but the Alt-F7 is all corrupted. I reckon if I could switch to a different resolution and back it would be fixed - but the X display is too corrupted to see how to do it [15:21] AdvoWork: cheers :] [15:21] is there some way to switch using the command line? [15:21] dooglus: chvt, not sure if it can switch to X though [15:21] Is there a cmd to see the whole dir where I'm in? [15:21] H3NRY: The easyest fix to when the usb is not detected (from speed reson) is to A) change cable (when error -110 is given) B) Use a old hub. [15:22] Juje007: use pwd [15:22] H3NRY:Following? [15:22] LjL: it's a GNOME session that's corrupted - it's like it thinks there's a different number of pixels per line or something, it's all skewed sideways [15:22] ys following [15:22] Thanks indian_munnda [15:22] saving it all to a text document [15:22] Juje007: mention not [15:22] dooglus: do you have all the correct stuff in your xorg.conf ? [15:22] hey, i got the nvidia driver installed (from nvidia.com not the restricted packages) and ive got it working but it seems to ignore my xorg.conf modeline :( [15:22] dooglus: ah sorry, i read you wrong. tried ctrl alt +? [15:23] i have a bran new motherboard [15:23] mib_u5g5lf: funny.. mine doesn't. did you hit "no" to the driver installer making it's own config file at the end? [15:23] blind: X has always been fine. I never changed anything. This just happened when I tried to 'full screen' a youtube video [15:23] Really, weird. [15:23] LjL: is that a keypad +? 'cos I don't have a keypad [15:23] H3NRY: Now, i assume it will be detected, but if not, the majour reason on linux side is because detection of usb speed on 1.1/USB2.0 is failing. [15:24] Try ctrl+alt+backspace ? [15:24] blind: gasp! I can't believe you would joke like that! [15:24] blind, i got nvidia-xconfig to do its stuff and then i manually transferred my modeline and a couple of options over to its file [15:24] dooglus: yes, keypad. even if you don't have a keypad, don't you have a numlock key that turns part of your keyboard into a keypad? [15:24] what command can i use to check the size of memory on a ubuntu server? [15:24] H3NRY: If you are yousing a old usb modem, this can happen (it has happend to me) [15:24] blind: that's like the "hit alt-f4" joke [15:24] not really. [15:24] H3NRY: Could you figure out when the usb modem was manifactured? [15:24] LjL: I do, but it doesn't seem to do anything [15:24] especially not if you're having problems with X.. [15:25] hello [15:25] blind: ctrl+alt+backspace will lose all my unsaved work, right? [15:25] one sec i will try [15:25] H3NRY: Rough year, like 1999, or 2008, ... [15:25] dooglus: oh. well, yes. I hadn't thought of that. [15:25] blind: if I wanted to lose my work then I could just restart gdm. I don't [15:25] dooglus: if you can access a terminal inside X somehow, try "xvidmode -next" perhaps [15:26] april 1 2008 [15:26] LjL: I have a terminal inside X. I can see it filling up with noise when I type "ls -l" in it [15:26] H3NRY: Good. [15:26] LjL: which package provides xvidmode? [15:26] w8tah: use du -h [15:27] rert [15:27] supprizingly it is a new device, specially fropm the phone company i have lol [15:27] !find xvidmode [15:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about find xvidmode [15:27] gggf [15:27] thanks [15:27] dooglus: sorry, xvidtune, not xvidmode [15:27] dooglus: you should have it installed, anyway x11-server-utils [15:28] I do [15:28] ok, i will be right back, i will save the resulting in a text document [15:29] Hello I have a network(net) land with a PC ubuntu and different with windows and it(he,she) wanted to know since(as,like) I can accede to the PC with windows illegally, without sharing hdd. [15:29] i have just installed VirtualBox from ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS...... [15:29] dooglus: also xrandr. try something like xrandr --size 1280x1024 (or whatever a reasonable resolution is on your monitor) [15:30] LjL: xvidtune -next doesn't output anything - I just get the shell prompt back imedaitely [15:30] freesystems; what? [15:30] FreeSystem: what your saying doresn't make sense [15:30] w8tah: if u wanna check teh grand total of the current directory then use du --total -h [15:30] indian_munnda: im looking for RAM useage [15:31] oh ok [15:31] i have just installed VirtualBox from ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS......but the problem is whenever i load a CD from that by filling all the necessary details and it when i start it ,it says [15:31] w8tah: i think system monitor can tell u that [15:31] LjL: this is weird. I ran "xrandr --size 800x600" and the resolution did change - but it's still skewed sideways and corrupted [15:31] VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.. [15:31] just the pixels are bigger now [15:32] dooglus: try "xrefresh" and "xrandr --auto" [15:32] ok [15:32] kitche, I have a PC with ubuntu and other one with windows in a networklan and want to accede to the windows illegally [15:32] dooglus: does the refresh rate look right? [15:33] FreeSystem: we only support legal things. [15:33] LjL: I never see any flicker [15:34] LjL: I think my brain must run at less than 50Hz [15:34] FreeSystem: sorry but for doing that this is not the channel [15:34] how do you turn off firefox's use of the nm-manager state to set offline mode? [15:35] I guess that'd just be "nm", not "nm-manager" wouldn't it :p [15:35] dooglus: well try also "xrandr --rate 60" just so you can say you've tried [15:35] cwillu: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolkit.networkmanager.disable [15:36] kbrosnan, thanks [15:36] what is freesystems trying to do. how could you make sense of that [15:36] LjL: that makes the monitor do its auto-adjust thing - so I guess it changed something. It still looks like the matrix though [15:36] dooglus: what programs do you have open with unsaved work on? [15:37] I wonder if I can run a VNC server, then connect to it from a new X session [15:37] has anyone here tryed using the latest compiz/fusion in hardy? [15:37] ok so the vender id showed up [15:37] LjL: just GNU Emacs [15:37] 0d0b:300 [15:37] dooglus: can't you guess-save using the keyboard? === jim_p-lunch is now known as jim_p [15:37] H3NRY: Cool.

[15:38] noobalice; using it right now [15:38] under Hardy [15:38] dooglus: VNC might work but you need a VNC server that works in your existing X session, the ones i remember about use their own X server [15:38] H3NRY: While you were away, I' was diffing up tutorial on setting that modem up on linux. [15:38] thebigkick: did you install from source? [15:38] lol.. is there any?

[15:57] Does anyone know? [15:57] still trying to install [15:57] hmmm [15:57] do me a favour [15:57] SaBo79: and what happens when you point your webbrowser to it ? [15:57] ayeah [15:57] look up your mobo spec and see if you use a jmicron controller [15:57] SaBo79: if it's a *web* interface that you access via the browser, then it would be strange that it's *also* a command you're supposed to run from the command line [15:58] Bob_Dole: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid/8.10 support/discussion. [15:58] noone? :/ [15:58] LjL: I'm thinking more the command line is a form of testing the script directly via php interpreter to see if it works right. [15:59] hmm ok, its a Gigabyte Ep45 DS4P, gomme a sec and i will look [15:59] when I point my browser to the index.php, I get the interface, but there is also a hellavcr.php script that you run to update it [15:59] SaBo79: it's just cd before running it. [15:59] i'd [15:59] HoldenManiaC, you may have a similar issue to me i have the GA-G33-s2 [15:59] SaBo79: not the index. Your script, the offending one. [16:00] I'm having ssh public/private key auth issues. for one user it works fine but for another it just drops back to using passwords. ssh -v -v -v spits out http://rafb.net/p/JxZwuG97.html [16:00] there was an issue booting the kernel and accessing the filesystem with the jmicron controller emulating an ide connection to cdrom drives ie you will find that not alot of disks boot correctly [16:00] I'm running hardy on this server [16:00] hmm, ok, I have found it has a JMicron 368 chip [16:00] yeah [16:00] those things are sh*t [16:00] mib_jfj0em: i've looked. you haven't said what i should be looking for, but assuming there is a problem displaying your X server, those messages look like you're trying to push a resolution that's too high for your card/monitor [16:01] When I launch firefox, I get the following error: "/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: undefined symbol: pixman_format_supported_destination" Anyone know what might be wrong? firefox worked fine until this morning when ubuntu crashed and I had to power off my computer and restart [16:01] HoldenManiaC, and i suppose your dvdrw is connected via ide right? [16:01] nope, sata [16:01] hmm interesting [16:01] its a sata dvd drive [16:01] maybe an issue i have still [16:01] you said you were using 7.04 right? [16:01] TJ-42: why don't you try a simple remove/purge of firefox and then reinstall again ? [16:01] TJ-42: try "sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox-3.0 libcairo2" [16:02] is there some one who play sa-mp(san andreas multi player) whit ubuntu? [16:02] not i sadly raapaq [16:02] I tried on 8.04 and on 7.10, both the same [16:02] hmm [16:02] trilobiti, LjL: OK, I just tried this. I still get the error [16:02] ah, i found it, I started out getting this error: Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0, over and over again [16:02] well the reason mine crashed loading was it couldnt actually find the filesystem on these dvd drives [16:03] then it jumped to busybox [16:03] now it just goes there straight away [16:03] HoldenManiaC, dont think that is definately it but if you think it is the problem then disable fd0 [16:03] floppy in bios [16:03] I have :D [16:03] it fixed? [16:03] nope [16:03] thanks guys this worked: cd /var/www/hellaVCR && php hellavcr.php [16:04] still doesn;t work [16:04] wait one... [16:04] TJ-42: pastebin the output of "debsums -s -g" (you might have to install debsums first) [16:04] SaBo79: cheers :) [16:04] TJ-42: executing that command might take a while [16:04] it never comes up with the error, but, just goes straight to busybox [16:05] well, if i have installed some program whit wine do i have to give it rights to see wine folders? === thunders1ruck is now known as gnomefreak [16:05] TJ-42: meanwhile, pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy firefox-3.0 ; apt-cache policy libcairo2" [16:05] LjL: ok hold on [16:05] LjL, yes i need a fix for that error msg from X, but my card and monitor handle 1440x900 perfectly, its my monitors main resolution and my gfx supports up to HD, and it usually works anyway [16:06] hey, how do i remove the gui of ubuntu so when its boots its load the shell instad and by that reduce the system load...? [16:07] HoldenManiaC okay lets try this edit the menu of the booting on the live disk menu, remove silent and splash from the boot options from the boot disk menu [16:07] hello all! hey, how do i remove the gui of ubuntu so when its boots its load the shell instad and by that reduce the system load...? (ubuntu) ... ... thanks!

[16:08] how i do this netsurf3 [16:08] (also, i cant do it now, coz im trying to do it on the computer im talking to you one( [16:08] |Dreams|: how is this problem related to Ubuntu/Linux ? [16:09] are there any simple, general purpose editors to edit source code, like taxpad in windows. I don't want to use netbeans or, eclipse for this purpose.. [16:09] HoldenManiaC, finding a simple way of describing it there is a hotkey you can press to edit the long line# [16:09] gedit is still primitive.. :( [16:09] <|Dreams|> well i am using ubuntu and mediatomb is linux only [16:09] ah [16:09] ok, it didnt work lol [16:09] TJ-42: uhm, neither firefox nor libcairo appear to be corrupted, and they're both the right version... [16:09] how can i format a usb stick i have ubuntu installed on it and i want to remove it and use it for other purpose [16:09] v4vijayakumar: emacs/gvi or even mousepad(xfce version of a notepad) [16:09] so i need to edit the menu of the booting on the live disk menu, remove silent and splash from the boot options from the boot disk menu [16:10] i have ubuntu 8.04 installed on a 4gb usb drive and i also use 8,04 on my laptop [16:10] |Dreams|: So your mediatomb is Ubuntu, previously you connected that to the pc with a crossover, and now you have a router, correct me if wrong. ? [16:10] i want to format my usb drive but i dont have the permission to delete files from it [16:10] then attempt to boot [16:10] ? [16:10] LjL: so could something else be causing the libcairo2 error for firefox? I've noticed that fusion-icon also has stopped working, as has Ubuntu's system update manager. [16:10] <|Dreams|> yeah my mediatomb is running on ubuntu 8.04 [16:10] s0101: just open terminal and goto your usb device and type rm -r ./* [16:11] won't that kill it? [16:11] TJ-42: there is someone with the exact same problem, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=878511 [16:11] how can i go to my usb frive in the terminal? [16:11] urgh [16:11] drive [16:11] HoldenManiaC, this will give me an error to go on you will see where it fails [16:11] |Dreams|: I want to know more how the mediatomb and PC *were* connected/wired and how *are* connected/wired [16:11] how can i make a ntfs hdd auto-mount when ubuntu starts? what do i have to add in fstab? [16:11] TJ-42: the update manager has stopped working? that doesn't sound particularly good. you don't have any third-party repositories enabled in sources.list, do you? [16:11] <|Dreams|> ok [16:11] ok kool, i will give this a shot and come back :D [16:12] s0101: just type cd /media/usb name [16:12] HoldenManiaC, if it failes on the jmicron (mounting root file system) then chances are you had the same problem as me [16:12] netsurf3: Thanks for you help so far [16:12] kitche, thanks [16:12] LjL: no. Everything was working fine until Ubuntu hung this morning and required a poweroff and reboot [16:12] <|Dreams|> my ps3 in front room was previously connected to my pc in my bedroom running ubuntu 8.04 and mediatomb was the mediaserver i am using on ubuntu, [16:12] TJ-42: did you update anything via the update manager during that session? [16:12] <|Dreams|> via crossover cable to a second nic in my pc [16:12] |Dreams|: ok [16:12] how can i make a ntfs hdd auto-mount when ubuntu starts? what do i have to add in fstab? [16:13] |Dreams|: so it's nic-nic via crossover cable [16:13] it was* [16:13] mib_jfj0em: i don't think i know the solution [16:13] <|Dreams|> yeah it was and i used firestarter to share the internet connection for me [16:13] it says no such file or directory [16:13] LjL: I updated to firefox-3.03 from 3.02 and to firefox-2.0.0.17 from firefox-2.0.0.16 (firefox 2 works fine) [16:13] |Dreams|: you just bind it to the same nic ip that you used before [16:13] |Dreams|: and how is it now wired ? [16:13] |Dreams|: you just might need to port forward the port on your router [16:13] <|Dreams|> oh [16:14] Cristi: something like /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs ntfs defaults 0 0 [16:14] <|Dreams|> i have my router in the bedroom hooked up to my pc via network cable, and i want to connect my ps3 into the router now but also stream to the ps3 via mediatomb on my pc [16:15] LjL, worth the forum post? nothing is coming up of any use on google :( [16:15] is there a way to delete all the libraries installed with getlibs? [16:15] TJ-42: well, try downgrading to the next available version (3.02 doesn't seem to be available now according to your apt-cache output, so that will be 3.0 beta): sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0=3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 0 [16:15] mib_jfj0em: do you have a custom xorg.conf file? [16:15] <|Dreams|> so just wanted to know what nic/ip i should bind the ip too, or would i need to use port forwarding to forward certain ports from the ps3 to pc and vice versa [16:15] hi all [16:15] why does it says no such file or directory? [16:16] LjL, yeah the problem is that X is refusing to validate my modeline because of the 'exceeds hardware' error i pasted earlier [16:16] |Dreams|: well we can't tell you which i to bind to sicne we don't know what your router is giving out for your computer [16:16] s0101: what is telling that? [16:16] <|Dreams|> in my opinion i shoui manually put it to 12.168.2.1 [16:16] <|Dreams|> 192.168.2.1 [16:16] <|Dreams|> sorry [16:16] mib_jfj0em: well, i don't know about that, but doesn't letting ubuntu choose the resolution by itself work? [16:16] A simple question, but I can't seem to delete a DVD rewritable!!! Which program can I use?? [16:16] when i try to go to my usb drive in the terminal [16:16] my goal is to format it [16:16] |Dreams|: I suppose you need a hub in the middle [16:16] <|Dreams|> ahh [16:16] beli: i have 3 hdds. i know sda1 and sda5 how do i get a hdd list in terminal? [16:17] beli: *3 partitions [16:17] LjL, a complicated series of events leads me into this path, mainly the fact that my EDID for the monitor is dead (which means nvidia nor ubuntu can probe for the right res) [16:17] Cristi: man fdisk, man cfdisk [16:17] |Dreams|: and you have the router (internal interface) connect to that hub, and then the PC and the mediatomb connect to the hub as well. [16:17] Cristi: Those aren't separate hard drives. They are partitions of the same hard drive [16:17] Cristi: sudo fdisk -l [16:17] <|Dreams|> so even if i use 192.168.2.1 say for my router, then 192.168.2.2 for my pc then 192.168.2.3 for my ps3 could i not port forward the ps3 to the pc and vice versa [16:18] Who does the backports for ubuntu? [16:18] <|Dreams|> oh ok [16:18] i am stucked [16:18] s0101: check out lsusb -v [16:18] genii: i know it was my bad there xD [16:18] |Dreams|: before you had PC <--> mediatomb [16:18] |Dreams|: now that will remain unchanged [16:18] s0101, sudo fdisk -l #will list all drives and partitions - that should give you an idea what your device is [16:19] LjL: hmm, it loads now to the home page, but as soon as I click anything ina web page it crashes with the same error [16:19] DavidCanarias: "man wodim", hit / and search for "blank" (blank=fast or blank=all should do) [16:19] s0101, to format your device, you could use something like gparted or mkfs [16:19] |Dreams|: and the hub will make so you now will have router <--> PC and router <--> mediatomb [16:19] <|Dreams|> ok [16:19] TJ-42: try updating again then, "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [16:19] i have ubuntu installed on it allready and i want to remove it but i dont have the permission to do so [16:19] <|Dreams|> so for now if i left it as is the ps3 plugged into the pc and as it is i can still stream movies songs etc am i correct? [16:20] s0101: try as root user [16:20] how [16:20] s0101, and are you booted into ubuntu now? [16:20] s0101: sudo rm -rf /path/to/your/usb/drive [16:20] genii: what does the -l in fdisk -l stand for ? :) [16:20] List [16:21] crimsun: man fdisk [16:21] s/crimsun/Cristi/ [16:21] !hardinfo [16:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about hardinfo [16:21] yes from my laptop [16:21] s0101, you can't format the volume that you have booted up from [16:21] beli: no idea what that means :-s [16:21] s0101: maybe the usb drive is mounted read only....or or or....check out for the device node and tell it to me if you know it [16:22] s0101, if that's what you are indeed trying, it won't work - you'll have to either boot up in a live CD to carry this out, or do it from windows, etc. [16:22] TJ-42: if it keeps doing that, create a new user (sudo adduser username), login as that user, and see if firefox works there. if it does, then it's something in your user's config [16:22] beli: i am trying to learn more commands and stuff..

To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [16:23] Cristi: thats ok, but start reading the man pages...and if you do not understand stuff...google for it....after that ask here ;) [16:23] beli: are you part of the dev team? [16:23] LjL: It seems like it must be something beyond firefox, since problems are occurring in other areas at the same time. Is there any way to do a general repair? [16:23] Cristi: no, i am not even deep into ubuntu, i am just a linux user [16:23] favro: i am looking for a more userfriendly way to ask people about lspci, lsusb etc outputs and hardinfo seems fine [16:24] whats the name of the system registry equivalent in ubuntu?

[16:24] beli: however what is fobar i don't have a man for that xD [16:24] jim_p: k - what are you having trouble with? [16:24] TJ-42: the way i know is to use "debsums" to find out which, if any, files from packages are damaged, and restore them. but in your debsums output i don't see anything that seems particularly relevant. i guess we could try reinstalling all packages it complains about, anyway [16:24] Cristi: replace foobar with whatever you want to know about....like man ls or man cd or man mkdir [16:24] LjL: actually, here's the error that fusion-icon is giving: http://paste.ubuntu.com/52879/ it seems pretty similar, i.e. something somehow with libcairo2 [16:24] hazzaa [16:24] favro: nothing at all! [16:24] jim_p: folks are freindly here [16:25] thanks [16:25] thanks for your help LjL [16:25] beli: i figured that out lol :)) [16:25] Get someones opinion on a hardened ubuntu server vs say a hardened gentoo server?

[16:27] Hi there. I'm having some difficulty with 8.04 and its rather outlandish changes to the way X is configured. I've managed to get the important things in place (monitor, drivers, etc), but I can't figure out the little things like touch pad edge scrolling and emulating a three button mouse. Can somebody help? [16:27] I can't open phpMyAdmin in my localhost [16:27] ok so... i am still in ned of some help...

[16:28] how do I send something to the trash via CLI? [16:28] LjL: it says it will remove about 6 packages (libcairo2, libglade2, libgtk2, libpango1 being the main ones) could I go through it? [16:28] Gigacore: u must change permisions of your htdocs, u probably don't have acces i think [16:28] jim_p: automounting at boot? - that is handled by the file /etc/fstab [16:28] unop: if it's trivial, why are you telling me? ;) [16:28] well i was hopeing that the people that already knew what my problem was were still here.... [16:28] ethana2, you don't usually .. but you could do something like. mv file ~/.local/share/Trash/ [16:28] ethana2, mv ~/.trash [16:29] Cristi: hi, how to do that ? [16:29] thanks [16:29] unop's probably right [16:29] so basically i have a usb modem that is showing up as conected in lsusb BUT there is no conectivity thru it [16:29] ethana2: mv file.txt ~/.local/share/Trash [16:29] well, that's going to be more than a simple alias.... [16:29] blast [16:29] Gigacore: try right click on htdocs and u have permisions there. [16:30] favro: not at boot, mounting for the removable devices [16:30] ethana2, are you looking to write an alias for this? [16:30] yeah [16:30] 'remove' [16:30] TJ-42: no, those packages are important (remove or downgrade?) [16:30] as opposed to 'delete' [16:30] ethana2, you can't do this with aliases - you'll need to use functions instead [16:30] No takers? [16:30] well, i need to learn how to do that anyway [16:30] anyone who knows of a good application to record the screen? [16:30] could you help me? [16:30] sdfghjdsfhgf [16:30] TJ-42: this command should restore all i can imagine might need restoring: http://paste.ubuntu.com/52880/ [16:31] LjL: the ones it will remove are the "dev" packages, i.e. libgtk2.0-dev not libgtk2.0 (sorry I missed that). It will only downgrade libcairo2 [16:31] ethana2, function remove () { mv "$@" ~/.local/share/Trash/; } # then you can do something like. remove file1 file2 file3 etc [16:31] TJ-42: oh, then go on with it [16:31] jim_p: a few people have had issues with that lately - I use a minimal install so always manually mount stuff [16:31] Hodari: i can only help you about the 3 button mouse... a little [16:31] unop: where do i put that? [16:31] ethana2: you mean you want something like "remove file.name" to take the filename and move it to Trash, given as a command in CLI ? [16:31] yes [16:31] favro: i am on minimal install to full desktop and i have automount installed [16:31] ethana2, depends - you could put that into your terminal .. and the function will only last for that session [16:31] Hidori, http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=897255 [16:31] ah [16:32] favro: and configured === mija is now known as mija_na [16:32] jim_p: Well, to my knowledge, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didn't cover it anymore. What can you tell me? [16:32] ethana2, you could put it in your ~./.bashrc file to make it permanent [16:32] Can anyone help me? i'm "locked out of ubuntu" [16:32] ethana2: you can make a simpple bash script for that [16:32] Hello. Can somebody tell me the exact name of the .deb file for the i386 kernel image with version 2.6.24-21? [16:32] ok good [16:32] To my mamoery, I should say.

[16:33] i dual boot with xp [16:33] ethana2, in your ~/.bashrc ?? [16:33] yeah [16:33] jim_p: Well, I knew that old xorg.conf style still works and I can copy settings over from a configured machine, but there must be some new way to set these. How could the developers overlook it? [16:33] ethana2, yea, that's fine - you'll just need to source ~/.bashrc now [16:33] somehow i changed the boot file to an old version and now it only shows me kernels i have deleted [16:33] source it? [16:33] so i can't enter [16:33] ethana2, source ~/.bashrc [16:33] ethana2: read about the difference of .bashrc and .bash_profile [16:34] ethana2, i.e. to load the ~/.bashrc again [16:34] is there a dialup modem area in the new ubuntu? i can not find one [16:34] ethana2: for the remove functionality, I'd recommend a bash script in /usr/local/bin [16:34] hey guys what's the command to re-configure X from the command line? My video card died and I need to config the onboard vid temp. [16:34] i didn't have a terminal open [16:34] ethana2: otherwise you might wonder if it's not working in your loginshell [16:34] TJ-42: the command i gave you earlier is wrong. this one should be better: http://paste.ubuntu.com/52883/ [16:34] Cristi: I went to Properties > Permissions, but Folder access is set to "Create and delete files" and the owner is root [16:34] !xconfig | trae [16:34] trae: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [16:34] histolo2: Edit /boot/grub/menu.list and delete the sections for kernels you no longer have. Be careful though. [16:34] ethana2, ok, that's fine then - just open a new terminal and everything should be ok. [16:34] ah, yeah, i always do that [16:35] Gigacore: one moment === Cc2iscooL_ is now known as Cc2iscooL [16:35] Hodari: the xorg idiots are looking to make xorg.conf obsolete!

I have mysql-server and -client installed, but I do not have a mysql.h file. I believe there is a -dev package, but I do not find it using apt-cache search. Any hints?

[16:36] DavidCanarias: i answered [16:36] Gigacore: i know i use the same [16:36] DavidCanarias: "man wodim", hit / and search for "blank" (blank=fast or blank=all should do) [16:36] ok thanks LjL, I'll try it, then restart and see what happens [16:36] Hodari: i can't boot ubuntu (no right kernel to choose from), i know i can edit the menu without entering but i need to find out the right values to write [16:36] Cristi: ok [16:36] aschuch, aptitude search "mysql.*-dev" # lists libmysqlclient15-dev [16:36] LjL: sorry didn't see it [16:36] Gigacore: well, i have the owner set to myself, not root [16:36] histolo2: Do you know the exact kernel you have now? [16:36] Cristi: lemme try [16:36] anyone know how to delete an entire gconf tree ? [16:36] Gigacore: u can change that by using chown [16:36] hello what part of ubuntu makes it possible to use hotkeys? [16:36] LjL: where do I type man wodim and enter??? [16:36] youd think it would be obvious. arg [16:36] hi, i'm a pretty fresh ubuntu user and i ve got probs with my dv cam on firewire .. .stopmotion starts and quits immediately [16:37] DavidCanarias: in a console [16:37] como puedo poner el chat en español [16:37] ¿ [16:37] Cristi: well, sorry but I don't know what chown is [16:37] alguien lo sabe? [16:37] Hodari: do you still want the line for 3-button? [16:37] adrian: escribe /join #ubuntu-es [16:37] jim_p: That would be nice, yes. [16:37] what is your user name? [16:37] LjL: will try now in terminal, thks [16:37] Gigacore: man chown read the manual page of the command [16:37] hello [16:37] chown username htdocs [16:37] Hi all [16:37] Is it true Ubuntu is giving ms a run for its money? [16:37] noobalice, have a look at man gconftool-2 [16:37] beli: lol, am a ubuntu newbie, guide me :p [16:37] My wireless network doesn't work in Linux, sais no drivers.

Welcome! [16:38] Hello. Can somebody tell me the exact name of the .deb file for the i386 kernel image with version 2.6.24-21? I need to download the .deb file because of an issue with the network card. Therefore I cant install it via synaptic and the experimental sources [16:38] I also can't install my printer and camera [16:38] is this why Ubuntu rules? [16:38] Gigacore: i did....read the manual page...if we always give you the complete solutions you never start reading and thinking about it....enter "man chown" into your terminal window [16:38] AloneInTheDark, Ubuntu doesnt support such space technology [16:38] oh [16:38] get real who the hell uses printers? [16:38] :) [16:38] beli: lol, ok [16:39] I guess who needs printers and cameras [16:39] SONICWANDERER: not funny [16:39] mister ladi da printer wifi [16:39] but no seriously, I worked 6 hours to make this thing work [16:39] it sais no driver [16:39] What about possibility to have automount of my cd/dvd back?!? [16:39] I have cabel and pen and paper that is good enough [16:39] !wireless > AloneInTheDark (AloneInTheDark, see the private message from Ubotu) have you checked this? [16:39] AloneInTheDark, please see my private message [16:39] SONICWANDERER, Help, be helped, idle, or leave. [16:39] AloneInTheDark: I'd ask certain questions to the hardware makers of the respective devices, for drivers, mainly. [16:39] Gigacore: anyway it is important that u have for Others Folder acces: access files and file access Read only [16:39] Microsoft is so evil, making all my hardware work. [16:39] seriously you need to learn how to code and make your own codec [16:39] Cristi: okay [16:39] histolo2: Grab a live CD and figure it out from there. That's the best I can offer until you're sure of the kernel version. Then edit menu.list from within the live session so that one of the kernel sections reflects the new version [16:39] SONICWANDERER: your attitude is not acceptable. [16:40] LjL: blank only refers to CD's and not DVD's, the same in most programs I've tried like K3b [16:40] unop: Thanks. Worked. :) [16:40] I never understood the need to rant and troll from some. *shrug* [16:40] !noob | SONICWANDERER [16:40] SONICWANDERER: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel.

[16:40] SONICWANDERER: consider yourself warned. [16:41] don't feed the troll [16:41] hodari: ok thanks, i'll try that [16:41] ethana2, it's ~/.local/share/Trash on hardy .. ~/.Trash on older versions of ubuntu [16:41] ethana2: like I said, I'd implement the bash-script solution to your problem. [16:41] LjL, how do I do that? [16:41] !trash | ethana2 [16:41] ethana2: 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 [16:41] Cristi: yay, its working. thank you very much [16:41] unop, I WAS RIGHT!!!!! [16:41] beli: thank you man [16:41] maniheer, what? [16:41] maniheer, what? [16:41] are u twins? [16:41] Somebody know when fspot 0.5 will appear in repositories? [16:42] Hodari: Option "Emulate3Button" "yes" (i suppose you know where it goes) [16:42] How would I bridge to network adapters in Hardy? [16:42] two* [16:42] LjL, get +o and kick someone [16:42] LjL: thanks, but it's only for deleting CD's aparently!!! [16:42] unop. mv ~/.Trash [16:42] CWii, see TLDP.org for the bridge howto [16:42] Thank you. [16:42] maniheer, that's incomplete and won't do anything constructive [16:42] maniheer: you don't [16:43] u must be twins [16:43] I'll have to keep asking if anyone knows how to delete DVD rewirtable? Can anyone help??? [16:43] Gigacore: no problem, have fun :) [16:43] jim_p: What about possibility to have automount of my cd/dvd back?!? [16:43] unop: neither location exists.. [16:43] <_paneb> is it possible to mirror a website using wget, but without modifying the links? [16:43] Cristi: :) [16:43] ~/.local/share/Trash or ~/.Trash === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [16:43] DavidCanarias: k3b has an option of erasing the contents of a RW disk [16:43] ethana2: try see what does "locate Trash" tell you. [16:44] k [16:44] jim_p: Thks but I can't see that option on my version. Can you open and check your end???? [16:44] DavidCanarias: doesn't k3b do that for you - I don't know what app you use [16:44] DavidCanarias, i do believe that even though the manpage only mentions CD, it should work for DVD too [16:45] amygdala: there is a config file in /etc/auto.conf or auto.* has the options [16:45] _paneb: i believe if you don't use --convert-link, it won't modify them [16:45] jim_p: favro: LjL: Thks but the only option in K3b is delete CD or format DVD someone suggested format, but it doesn?t delete. Its driving me crazy so I'll try to delete CD with a DVD and be back to you all. Thks meanwhile [16:45] jim_p: I haven't that file! [16:46] trilobiti: Ok, It is there, I was just trying to go there with a relative path and I was mistaken as to my location [16:46] LjL: No it doesn't work. It recognises a DVD and doesn't allow you to start..... .back to square one! [16:46] ...why isn't nautilus seeing the files i moved there though? [16:47] ethana2: it should show to what I know. [16:47] jim_p: Thanks for the info. I'm gonna try it now. [16:47] favro: Does your k3b actually allow you to delete a DVD.. What do you mean by app??? I use Hardy [16:47] amygdala: then you dont have automount! i have /etc/auto.conf [16:47] * ethana2 strokes beard [16:47] c === geo_ is now known as geo05 [16:47] jim_p: What would happen if I try to use yours? [16:47] ethana2: what happens if you move a test file to trash by hand ? [16:47] <_paneb> LjL, right, thanks [16:47] electric [16:47] hello what part of ubuntu makes it possible to use hotkeys? [16:48] jim_p: And how I do have usb-flash automount? [16:48] trilobiti: you mean by mv or by nautilus? [16:48] Amazing it's so difficult with Linux Ubuntu Hardy to delete a DVD rewritable. I can't believe it?? Anybody actually been able to do it???? [16:48] I have one more issue. My weather widget for panel always displays same temperature. be it morning, evening and night.. it always displays 27 deg C and it never updates... any solution ?? [16:48] amygdala: with some pmount thing. It is definetely different from mint [16:48] *mine [16:49] Gigacore: move out of the tropics [16:49] ethana2: well I think I found out what's happening [16:49] Is there any option in Terminal, special code to delete a DVD rewritable? [16:49] Gigacore: does it have your location right? [16:49] trilobiti: oh? [16:49] ethana2: heh ?? [16:49] ethana2: the Trash is made of 2 subdir, the "files" and "info" [16:49] DavidCanarias: k3b is an app - you might use another cd/dvd app was my point [16:49] Gigacore: that was a joke. ..does it have your location correct? [16:49] trilobiti: interesting [16:50] jim_p: So, what can I do? And I had automount and it had been lost just recently! [16:50] ethana2: "files" is where the trashed files are [16:50] ethana2: "info" is for when you'd wish to undelete [16:50] !info k3b | DavidCanarias [16:50] davidcanarias: k3b (source: k3b): A sophisticated KDE CD burning application. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.4-2ubuntu4 (hardy), package size 4883 kB, installed size 9404 kB [16:50] ethana2: yes it does. It was working fine in 7.10, not in 8.04 [16:50] amygdala: let me search [16:50] !pmount [16:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about pmount [16:50] odd [16:50] ethana2: so actually you'd have to move the trashed-to-be file to Trash/files [16:50] DavidCanarias: sudo cdrecord -dao -v dev=/dev/scd01 blank=fast Although scd01 may not actually be the device name on your particular system. [16:51] * ethana2 modifies 'remove' command [16:51] :D [16:51] jim_p: Thanks! [16:51] favro: Where do I type !info k3b [16:52] DavidCanarias: that is to get info from the bot in this channel [16:52] !bot | DavidCanarias [16:52] DavidCanarias: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [16:52] ethana2: moving a file from the CLI to Trash/files does show the file in Nautilus as well in the Trash. [16:52] ethana2, are you sure these don't exist? ls -ld ~/.local/share/Trash ~/.Trash [16:53] unop: no, i was just confused a bit [16:53] trilobiti: trying to get it to do that now.. [16:53] favro: LjL: Ubottu suggest version 1.0.4. which I have, I dont know if it 2ubuntu4 though. Can I try to update to this version, if so do you know how I can do it? [16:53] DavidCanarias: the bot has info for regularly asked questions [16:53] ethana2, well, the first directory exists if you are on hardy - so i am not sure what's going on with you [16:53] trilobiti: do i have use a trash applet of some kind? [16:54] ethana2: for what ? [16:54] nautilus still isn't seeing them even thought they're in ~/.local/share/Trash/files [16:54] favro: I'll try what bot says - u mean ubottu no? [16:54] to get nautilus to see the new files in the trash? i wouldn't think so... odd [16:54] DavidCanarias: yep [16:54] ethana2: I did a test mv of a file and i showed ok for me in Nautilus too [16:54] how can i make that desktop cube will be far? [16:54] genii: Thks do I type this in the terminal??? [16:54] I have a secondary panel at the top of my screen that doesn't seem to want to stay put. Lately it tends to place itself above the standard panel. How do I lock it into position? [16:55] it showed* [16:55] err was disconnected [16:55] Nece228: use advanced desktop settings [16:55] ethana2: you are modifying the .bashrc entry for the change ? [16:55] Nece228: advanced desktop effects settings or smth like that [16:56] genii: won't work this one it sends me to wodim and CD's - no solution [16:56] DavidCanarias: Yes. However double check for the /dev name to use. You can also probably put /dev/dvd instead of /dev/scd01 scd02 etc etc [16:56] trilobiti: i think so [16:56] yes, doing that and moving the files === maniheer is now known as muIlidhar [16:56] basically making the change retroactive [16:56] ethana2: the change won't show untill you close the terminal and open a new one. [16:56] Nece228: if you don't have it sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [16:56] i did that [16:56] how to get WEP/WPA/etc with Hardy? [16:57] ethana2: what does "alias" tell you ? [16:57] should it work out of the box? === muIlidhar is now known as maniheer [16:57] Cristi: i have everythink, i just dont know how to make that cube would be smaller [16:57] trilobiti: it gives me all my aliases [16:57] anyone got the good link to real documentation? [16:57] man [16:57] ethana2: yes, but is what you want there ? [16:57] Nece228: the rotate cube option, look for zoom [16:57] trilobiti: ..no, it's a function [16:58] ethana2: what do you want to add to your bashrc? [16:58] genii: it won't accept . command not found!!! I'm going round in circles, I will try bot's suggestion. Thks everyone [16:58] Cristi: thanks it worked [16:58] beli: a remove command that puts files in the trash [16:58] Nece228: no problem [16:58] and i've got it, but nautilus doesn't see them [16:58] ethana2: I'm not very familiar with functions. I'd do what you want with a simple bash script in /usr/local/bin [16:59] ethana2, i've tried it too - and dolphin doesn't list the files in trash either [16:59] ohhhhhhhhh [16:59] ethana2, there must be something more to this [16:59] ~ [16:59] view -> show hiddent [16:59] that'll be it! Wow, thanks guys! [17:00] ethana2: cheers [17:00] trilobiti, a function is just like a script. function foo () { commands here; } [17:01] unop: And how goes that get called ? [17:01] can I make Network Manager to use the same mac address when I'm using vpn? [17:01] trilobiti, foo arg1 arg2 arg3 etc [17:01] unop: quite simple I see. thanks for that, didn't know it :) [17:02] trilobiti: i have one too xD what is a bash script? [17:02] hello all? [17:03] does anyone know what happened to ubuntu 8.10?

[17:04] thanks unop [17:04] np [17:04] LjL: no luck with reinstalling any packages or downgrading libcairo2. firefox-3 and fusion-icon still fail with libcairo errors [17:04] hello [17:04] Hoadri: just came to thank you, i'm in ubuntu right now. [17:04] TJ-42: can you put the error output on nopaste? [17:05] see you guys! [17:05] i need some help with an apache2 virtual host problem [17:05] coke19: just ask [17:05] coke19: ask and if anyone knows, will answer [17:05] coke19, ask the channel your question - if's its quite complicated, there's always #apache [17:05] any one know when the new gimp 2.6 will be added to the back ports? [17:06] Cristi: have some errors [17:06] genii: LjL: favro: I tried Brasero for blanking and in tools it says DVD, but it won't allow me to blank as it says its not writable with the current set of plugins???? Any ideas please???? [17:06] Cristi: in phpMyAdmin, I am getting this error: Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole. [17:07] Gigacore: you need to read howto set a password for the mysql-root-user [17:07] DavidCanarias: I'd read some documentation about "cdrecord". I'm sure it's possible to do it as that's what the other utilities use internally. [17:07] hello all! [17:07] beli: okay [17:07] Gigacore, and then edit your phpMyAdmin config file to reflect the password change . [17:07] beli: Here are the errors messages from fusion-icon and firefox-3.0 both are similar. http://paste.ubuntu.com/52890/ [17:08] vhost not resolving the http request to ip address just serves the default page on the default server [17:08] unop: ok [17:08] trilobiti: Thks but I dont have any problems with the CDs its just DVDs. Where could I get the info??? [17:08] Gigacore: you should have a security link in the menu where u can put passwords [17:08] TJ-42: check the date of /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2 ....is it correct....you told that you just reinstalled the libs....take care if its a symlink [17:08] coke19, is apache listening on that ip address? [17:09] someone can help me with a freaking mdadm/raid pro? [17:09] I can delete a CD with brasero no problem just like all the other programs!!! But not DVD!!!!!! [17:09] DavidCanarias: I'm sorry but I don't use rewritable dvds - I don't even use dvds [17:09] can i have desktop ball instead of desktop cube in my hard heron? [17:09] is it possible to get gimp 2.6 on ubuntu yet? [17:09] apache is listening on both interfaces [17:09] beli: 2008-10-01 11:32 libcairo.so.2 -> libcairo.so.2.17 and 2008-06-04 11:45 libcairo.so.2.17.3 [17:09] DavidCanarias: I'd look for some option to the "cdrecord" to specify dvd instead of cd. I'm not familiar with it though so I wouldn't know exactly. [17:10] coke19, do you have a vhost config file for the particular IP address/domain name ?? [17:10] I have the dev version of fb, I saw that in the apps file there is [app] (name=fbrun) . Can I just put the name of the app in parenthesis or I have to use name= ? [17:10] how to let root login in on ubuntu? [17:10] coke19, usually called a site - in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled [17:10] !root | kika [17:10] kika: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [17:10] the ip address is config to specific address with serv name [17:10] i have huge probs with a raid1 -> device bu8sy [17:10] kika: you don't want that! [17:10] Cristi: ok, lemme see [17:11] trilobiti: Appreciate your help. It seems nobody knows how to blank a DVD around here. Incredible so we've still all got lots to learn!!!! [17:11] TJ-42: so it looks like you have different versions on your system.....get rid of the old versions to make sure your software is using the new ones [17:11] DavidCanarias: indeed. :) [17:11] coke19, but how exactly have you done that?? [17:12] if you choose to print to pdf, where exactly does the output go? Is there some setting behind the scenes? [17:12] not really... some application run different on root or user login. [17:12] beli: sorry I guess my paste missed the .3 at the end, there is only one version [17:12] TJ-42: ok [17:13] DavidCanarias: it does say "The generic SCSI-3/mmc-3 DVD+RW driver is auto-selected whenever a DVD+RW medium is found in an appropriate writer. [...] Note that for unknown reason, the DVD-Plus alliance does not like that there is a simulation mode nor a way to erase DVD+RW media." [17:13] kika: First you'd have to enable root login altogether in /etc/shadow [17:13] trilobiti, please don't suggest this [17:13] for example, one software i install a plugin using "sudo " , but I can't use this plugin on user login without sudo. [17:13] !supportroot | trilobiti [17:13] trilobiti: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [17:14] * trilobiti backs in fear and stops!

[17:14] TJ-42; at first try this; sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox-3.0 && sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 and retry to start ff [17:14] coke19, use a pastebin and dump this there.

[17:17] yes [17:17] TJ-42: ok...run ldconfig ...maybe it gives an error....retry afterwards [17:17] coke19, ok, so what's the problem then? this virtual host does not take effect?? [17:17] yes [17:17] hi all [17:17] DavidCanarias: there is a thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=623889 , not that it seems very informative [17:18] beli: ldconfig does nothing, just returns me to the prompt [17:18] coke19, try changing the VirtualHost directive to.

I have it downloaded in a tar.gz file and need to find out how to install it? Any help your end? [17:19] coke19, right, but your using a private IP address to serve a public site [17:19] beli: ok, i see. runnig it didnt fix the problem though :/ [17:19] kika: I haven't used eclipse. [17:19] coke19, that can't be right [17:19] when using name based hosting it works, but i am planning to host differnet sites with ssl [17:20] Revan: if you have big files and want incrementel backup....use rsync.......if you just want to copy them over use ftp or the encrypted scp as a part of openssh [17:20] !backup | Revan [17:20] Revan: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [17:20] @all [17:20] DavidCanarias: do NOT try to install tarballs. growisofs is available in the dvd+rw-tools package, "sudo apt-get install dvd+rw-tools" [17:20] Thanks JuJuBee, I will give it a try.

(WUSB600N) [17:21] TJ-42: i don't gave access to a box running ubuntu atm so i cannot check the binaries/libs [17:21] I can connect to g wireless but not to b wireless. How do I configure ubuntu to allow b connection? [17:21] coke19, i should think not and be surprised if it does - it shouldn't [17:21] TJ-42: but can you check what ldd $(which firefox) is telling you [17:21] i read that document, the problem is that ssl requires the ip be different to work correctly [17:21] yes [17:21] jrib you there? [17:21] re [17:21] the plugin is a .tar.gz package , I installed follow instruction "sudo tar zvf ", follow that, root can use this plugin, but the users can't! [17:22] roukoun, you'll need to change the PS1 environmental variable - it's defined in ~/.bashrc [17:22] LjL: Thks for some positive news and will go thru the terminal. I'll keep u all informed!!! [17:22] bind is running on localhost [17:22] jrib i was wondering if you could give me my IP address [17:22] from earlier [17:22] im at school now. [17:22] need help with mdadm !

'# If this is an xterm set the title to user@host:dir' [17:23] kika, which plugin would that be anyway? [17:23] jrib nvm [17:24] resolv to 192.168.0.27 [17:24] DrX your a moron. [17:24] thank you LjL. a plugin that can integration Qt with eclipse [17:24] LjL: I did the install and retried Braser and it says the same thing about the plugins!!!! What a problem eh??? [17:24] Jeruvy: insults either [17:24] roukoun, that's the title not the prompt - search for PS1 [17:24] thanks LjL [17:24] kika: does it have a name? [17:24] Can't believe blanking a DVD is impossible to do [17:25] DavidCanarias: you can overwrite it [17:25] the issue seems to be that apache does not resolv the ip, just serves the default page unless set on name hosting [17:25] yes, its name is qt-eclipse-integration-linux.x86-1.4.3.tar.gz [17:25] beli: That would do the trick so how do I do that [17:25] DavidCanarias: K3B should overwrite data on a dvd-rw when you go to write to it. [17:26] unop: the only point that PS1 appears is here: '# set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we "want" color)' [17:26] beli: is blanking a dvd even possible if it's not RW ? i don't think so [17:26] coke19, you might like to ask the guys in #apache then [17:26] same server [17:26] yea [17:26] roukoun, try this. PS1=":\$ " [17:26] thanks [17:26] bye [17:27] roukoun, if that sets your prompt to how you want it - you could place the line in ~/.bashrc [17:27] Cristi: using a knife or similiar tools ;) no disk and drive need to support RW features for sure [17:27] hello [17:27] beli: Pici: Ummm..... then it seems its not necessary to blank first!!! I am trying it now and your idea seems to be working on K3B for the moment!!! Thks a lot [17:27] hi [17:27] how r u all [17:27] DavidCanarias: Sure [17:27] DavidCanarias: for sure not...you can just tell it to overwrite written stuff [17:27] DavidCanarias: try perhaps dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/whatever [17:27] Pici i want to access my xp from ubuntu plz tell me how ? [17:28] DavidCanarias: deleting it is nothing else then overwriting it with FF or ZERO [17:28] faria: in the same machine ? [17:28] faria: double system [17:28] LjL: I tried that, but nothing!!!!! Seems to be the solution just overwriting as beli and Pici say [17:28] double system [17:28] beli: sorry dont understand FF or ZERO how do I do that [17:29] i have two pc === Gigacore is now known as ballastic [17:29] one ubuntu one xp [17:29] alright, I still haven't solved the problem with firefox-3.0, fusion-icon, and compiz not working, but now I have a new problem.

[17:36] TJ-42: upgrade [17:36] something REALLY weird just happened. I have Ubuntu server 8.04 and the machine was rebooted. Upon reloading there was a GUI all of a sudden? What happened? I never installed a GUI on the machine! It always was pure command line. any ideas? [17:36] okay, I can see the windows network, 'HOME' 'MSHOME' etc etc [17:36] !final | TJ-42 [17:36] TJ-42: If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Intrepid. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [17:36] TJ-42, package updates should be enough - but keep posted [17:36] jeah i have sayed it goes [17:36] :P [17:37] but I dont see where ac-biolabserver is [17:37] now search your network [17:37] you should not install a pre-release-version on a production system [17:37] it would be easy [17:37] Masteredu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:39] ok [17:39] Masteredu, it's still no reason to cause unnecessary scrolling - make yourself easily read. [17:40] but the logs sucks like entered and leave etc. [17:40] beli: ah sorry, I missed that you had asked for it, hold on. I appreciate the help [17:40] how can i change this? [17:40] we are having serious problems here recently :| ppl who feel bored :| [17:40] Masteredu: please don't msg me without asking :) [17:40] Masteredu: depends on your irc client [17:40] what is a proxy? [17:40] with a proxy you can surf through a other ip [17:40] shepherd: do a google search for "squid proxy" [17:40] of course it has nothing to do with unnecessary scrolling if 5 people tell the rules and suggest the same things :) [17:40] something REALLY weird just happened. I have Ubuntu server 8.04 and the machine was rebooted. Upon reloading there was a GUI all of a sudden? What happened? I never installed a GUI on the machine! It always was pure command line. any ideas? wtf? [17:40] shepherd: a proxy is a server that works as a relay between a client and another server [17:40] shepherd, this isnt the channel to ask that sort of thing... [17:40] When I go to 'Add Server' I get the window asking me for a password, but then it fails to mount [17:40] any good sidepanel programs that display statistics? [17:41] shepherd, a service that services requests on your behalf [17:41] fx3, kinda because i just installed ubuntu and it asked me what proxy i wanted to use [17:41] how can i join ubuntu offtopic? [17:41] ok [17:41] Masteredu: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [17:41] shepherd, if you dont know what it is, dont use one, leave it blank [17:41] fx3, why not.

Like for instance, should I put a bunch of rsync commands in a script file and schedule it to be run every day? Or is there another tool I should use with it? (This is with regards to performing reliable backups of data) [17:42] type /join #ubuntu-offtopic [17:42] he did [17:42] how would I get on the share from the terminal? [17:42] beli: how do i use a while loop for bash? [17:42] Cristi: while condition; do command; done [17:43] Revan: you use some apps that work son topp of rsync to make backup/restore process easier [17:43] Cristi: read the programming howto [17:43] beli: it is simple IRC is not a democracy. there are users and there are OPS, the ops make and enforce the rules. The OPS decision is final. [17:43] browsing through nautilus is starting to frustrate me and it doesn't see things that I know are there...

[17:44] beli: it's not ok to discuss the rules *in this channel*, since it is for support. join -offtopic, or -irc, or -ops if you want to take them to the ops [17:44] beli: I think I did it right: http://paste.ubuntu.com/52900/ [17:45] unop i mean when use ubuntu kde as the standard interface [17:45] and delete gnome [17:45] Masteredu, when it is called Kubuntu.

[17:52] unop, [17:52] pastebinit < /var/log/dpkg.log [17:52] LjL, cat: /varLog/dpkg.log: No such file or directory [17:52] KeyboardInterrupt catched. [17:52] LjL, pastebinit always worked for me before [17:52] stat_cs, wrong filename [17:52] unop: except that the day he'll want to pastebin some actual command output, he'd try to use that syntax again and fail [17:52] stat_cs, see the message i sent before that one - i made a typo [17:52] LjL, I see. I am pastebining output and not a fiel [17:53] LjL, errm, why? pastebinit < file # will always work? [17:53] hi [17:53] bye [17:53] can someone tell me how to open the windows share in the terminal? [17:53] unop: *command output*, not file. this time it's a file, granted, but it might not be [17:53] unop, the subnet is 255.255.255.0 for both yes - I was hoping both subnets couldn't see each other [17:53] LjL, ohh command output .. pastebinit < <(command) #then :) [17:53] unop: meh [17:53] I did something yesterday that almost worked, but I forget the command [17:53] I have a dir with a lot fo files named XXX-###.ext and I want to replace XXX with YYY. How can I do that without doing it manually for all of the files? [17:53] i have problems after formating my usb wich was containing ubuntu i try to put files on the empty usb but it says "Error opening file '/media/disk/Kiss - Deuce.mp3': Permission denied" [17:54] Wipster, well, what separates (or joins) the two subnets ?? a router [17:54] ? [17:54] Awsoonn: "man rename", it uses regular expressions. [17:54] Do people still use miro or is there a new better thing? [17:54] Awsoonn: you may need to write a simple shellscript for that [17:54] plytheman: nautilus //192.168.1.1/pc/folder ? [17:54] LjL: thanks.. should have known... [17:54] Hi I'm installing ubuntu 8.04 on a new Asus Dsvb-d and I'm using a scsi adaptec and I really need help on how to get this done? [17:54] LjL, still cant do it. [17:54] any clue? [17:54] hey guyes..i've got a problem... i installed ubuntu (latest version) and i can log in but now after a while i can still log in but when i install something and have to enter the admin password it always says its incorrect... but i always log in with it and i havent made any new user accounts etc :(.... [17:55] Awsoonn, for i in *.ext; do mv -v "$i" "${i//XXX/YYY}"; done [17:55] I tried nautilus smb://ac-biolabserver/users/students/my_name which would be the folder [17:55] stat_cs: what does it say now? [17:55] but it said not to use nautilus... [17:55] I'm trying to get my SB Live to produce sound, specifically MIDI. I also have a builtin card Analog Devices 1980, as part of my VIA 8237 chipset. I don't get any errors while playing midi files, but no sound whatsoever. All ALSA output channels are maxed out. My speakers are connected to my SBLive [17:55] ASUS DSVB_D SERVER [17:55] Natenjo: type "sudo true" in a terminal, does it ask for a password? [17:55] which is better 7.1 or 8.04 as far as support for applications and stuff that works on it and what not? [17:55] unop: nice one liner :) [17:55] ASUS DSVB-D SERVER [17:56] LjL, KeyboardInterrupt catched. [17:56] Ali_ix, though i prefer. rename 's/XXX/YYY/' *.ext [17:56] ironfoot_495: Can you phrase that as a question? [17:56] LjL: hold on i'll try... [17:56] it tells me that it failed to mount the windows share and to try a different viewer [17:56] stat_cs: well, since you apparently have a GUI... pastebin using copy&paste from the GUI ;) [17:56] when i right klick on the usb stick and look at permission it says the permissions of "disk" could not be determined [17:56] unop: THANK YOU [17:57] LjL, I see. I have to go to the machine for that. I was just SSHing - brb [17:57] Pici: Yes is there somewhere to get the details on installing ubuntu on a DSVB-D SERVER? [17:57] : it always says "soory, try again" [17:57] Natenjo: type "groups | grep admin", does it output anything? [17:57] s0101: Normally USB sticks are formatted as Fat16/32. Those Filesystems don't support access rights in terms of users/ groups [17:57] : hold n... [17:57] unop, yeh a router joins the two networks (sorry I didn't understand the first time) [17:58] how can i fix it i just want to be able to storage files on it [17:58] I've run into a problem trying to get drivewrs for the SCSI?? [17:58] My touchscreen makes X slow down so much it is unusable [17:58] Wipster, ok, it's probable that the router allows cross-subnet communication - i can't think of anything else that would allow you to pind 2.x from 1.1 [17:58] ironfoot_495: Are you trying to install Ubuntu Server? [17:58] LjL, its empty anyways =C [17:58] hi everybody [17:58] Pici: YES!!! [17:58] s0101, Normally you should be able to write to the stick, do you get any errors while trying that? [17:58] Wipster, perhaps you should be looking to configure the router to stop people from pinging across subnets [17:58] ironfoot_495: On a RAID? [17:58] Wipster, s/pind/ping/ [17:59] Pici: on dula processors!!! [17:59] s0101, does sudo fdisk -l show your partitions on your USB stick? [17:59] Pici: No just have one SCSI Hard Drive [17:59] ironfoot_495: Dual processors shouldnt have any effect on the install. Where are you having difficutly? [17:59] it says [17:59] Error opening file '/media/disk/Kiss - Deuce.mp3': Permission denied" [17:59] stat_cs: then you need to fix that. boot into recovery mode (you need to select it in your GRUB menu, if you don't see any menu when booting, then hit Esc repeatedly just before the BIOS hands off control to the system), and type "adduser your-user-name admin" [17:59] unop, ok well its loaded with linux I tried adding a iptables rule to stop 192.168.1.0/24 communicating with 192.168.2.0/24 and vice versa but it didn't seem to work [17:59] LjL, could restarting via control-alt-delete have done that [17:59] stat_cs: no [18:00] The DRivers for the Adaptec and getting it to see the leth0 [18:00] LjL, okay. I can boot into recovery mode. [18:00] i just did a sudo apt-get update and upgrade [18:00] how i put GDM in Default DIsplay Manager? [18:00] LjL: it says "natenjo adm default cdrom floppy audio dip video plugindev fuse lpadmin admin" [18:00] and my 8.04 doesnt boot up [18:00] stat_cs: what the heck, forget everything [18:00] i see them [18:00] do i need to run sudo lilo everytime i edit /etc/lilo.conf (even if im editing one line, 'vga=ask' ) [18:00] unop, I am a bit inexperianced with networking and linux but I am sure I can make it work somehow [18:00] stat_cs: i thought i was talking to Natenjo now [18:00] what should i do? [18:00] AJuOnLiNE|sh: any errors while boot? [18:00] stat_cs: you meant /var/log/dpkg.log is empty? [18:00] s101: Please binpost the output of sudo fdisk -l and tell me which drive is your USB drive [18:00] now. it gave some error after update were downloaded. and then when i give "sudo apt-get" it said "/usr/bin/sudo"some error [18:01] Pici: Not seeing the eth0 or eth1 or the SCSI ? [18:01] LjL, oh. I restarted...should I boot into recovery anyways? [18:01] Ali_ix: yes. i ran the debug mode. kernel panic [18:01] ironfoot_495: So you've already installed? [18:01] stat_cs: no, no. that was for natenjo [18:01] what was for me ljL?? [18:01] check it out [18:01] http://pastebin.com/m288a0c54 [18:01] AJuOnLiNE|sh: tried to bootup with older kernels available? [18:01] LjL, oh. so I should boot back into the 8.04 server kernel yes? [18:01] Natenjo, your /etc/sudoers file is likely wrong... you need to boot into recovery mode anyway, and fix it [18:01] Pici: Well I'm attempting to and these are the problems I'm having. [18:01] since ive got 2 montors on my ubuntu box, my framerate droped at 70 fps [18:01] Ali_ix: and my caps lock key keeps blinking. and the install stalls. yes i did try to boot to old kernel. same error. [18:01] AJuOnLiNE|sh: there might be some driver issues on new kernel with your hw === eric is now known as Guest33210 [18:01] stat_cs: yes, boot quite normally [18:01] Can someone help me?? [18:01] Wipster, sure - just takes a little patience and some research .. but this should stop ip forwarding. on the router itself. echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [18:02] it was over 1000 before [18:02] LjL: ok I'll boot into recovery... hold on :) [18:02] ironfoot_495: What version of Ubuntu are you trying to install and what adaptec? [18:02] *ntors === Guest33210 is now known as chamunks [18:02] *monitors, sorry [18:02] Is there no skydome in ubuntu as it is in fedora? [18:02] hey is there any way to remove the titlebars from all of my windows in gnome im running a netbook and dont want to waste the space [18:02] LjL, what do you make of the empty log? [18:02] is it possible for HDD to be corrupt for Windoze but still be able to install Ubuntu ??? [18:03] Ali_ix: this upgrade was just downloading firefox thunderbird and some libc6 [18:03] Ubuntu 8.04 and Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A. [18:03] stat_cs: that nothing was installed or removed in the past... week, or so, not sure. what about /var/log/dpkg.log.1 ? [18:03] what kernel modules i need install for virtualbox to start ? using kernel -19 on 8.04 [18:03] LjL: can i quarry you?? [18:03] AJuOnLiNE|sh: libc6 is the important part [18:03] i had ubuntu installed on the usb before formating it so thats why the file system is for linux [18:03] IT guy i know said my HDD is busted, i went home and installed Ubuntu [18:03] s0101, all the disks I see are formatted wiht linux or swap filesystems, is your USB stick sda or sdc , or sdb (which does not appear on the list)? [18:03] Ubuntu 8.04 SERVER and Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A. [18:03] Natenjo: i'd rather talk in the channel, but if you prefer [18:03] thebigkick: It depends if its physically damaged or not. [18:03] Ali_ix: then i think that is what failed. or something. coz my distro was upto date till last week. [18:03] not physically damaged [18:04] never spilled anything on it [18:04] Ali_ix: is there a way i can get it back ? [18:04] AJuOnLiNE|sh: i am not sure, you need a better diagnosis, you may need to bootup using a live cd, chroot to your current installation and fix something, but i am not sure what to look after [18:04] LjL, looking. the last thing it says before starting the login GUI is starting web server Apache2 [18:04] i think the guy is lazy and tried to get more $$$ from me [18:04] ahem.. [18:04] if you add an old tv, is it normal that the framerate drops? [18:04] AJuOnLiNE|sh: once i had serious issues with kernel, i just removed it! but i could get it bakc by magic of chroot [18:04] well nvrmd [18:04] stat_cs: that isn't necessarily the last thing it *does*, init works asynchronously... anyway, server does come with no GUI, so at once stage you must have got one installed somehow [18:04] how can i check that? [18:05] LjL, http://pastebin.com/f7b4d7224 [18:05] Ali_ix: after all updates were downloaded. and it tried to install. everything stopped working. i mean right click and create a new text file also stopped working. any comand that I run gave an error. even the simple "clear" command [18:05] s0101, If the FS is linux, then the files do have user:group permissions so you could add another user with the same credentials or access the files as root. [18:05] anyone familiar with Openfire, how do I 'reset' the database ? [18:05] what files are supposed to be in /usr/local/lib vs /usr/lib ? [18:05] how there are no files in that disk [18:06] unop, that command stopped me from pinging from my computer out to the wan untill I reverted it [18:06] AJuOnLiNE|sh: you may had your / remounted as readonly, based on some errors [18:06] anyone know how to crack wpa? [18:06] collecting packets? [18:06] bye [18:06] Which irc do the userside mounting ppl use? [18:06] there was a place in gnome i knew you could edit the titlebar through to change the position of the close iconize and re-size could that place help me rid myself of my titlebars to save screenspace? [18:06] AJuOnLiNE|sh: i am noy sure how to troubleshoot kernel panics [18:06] Ali_ix: i will try to boot up and come online via the live cd [18:07] ironfoot_495: Doing a little googling reveals that this particular scsi card does software RAID, which is probably why its giving you issues. You may be able to either disable RAID alltogether from your scsi BIOS, or /msg ubottu RAID for more install help. [18:07] brb === AJuOnLiNE|sh is now known as AJuOnLiNE|zZz [18:07] s0101, , still you refer to the file '/media/disk/Kiss - Deuce.mp3' of which you expect that it does exist [18:07] stat_cs: so yesterday you installed or updated a few things... yet, i don't see anything that looks even remotely like a GUI among them [18:07] stat_cs: is the "gdm" package installed? "ubuntu-desktop"? (check with "apt-cache policy ") [18:07] i try to move it from the harddrive to the usb but that is the error message when i move it [18:07] Pici: I appreciate that thanx go after it again Bye!!! [18:08] LjL, can I pm? [18:08] stat_cs: yes [18:08] so firefox likes to hang alot not letting me do anything, sometimes it'll stop my whole computer from reading input and sometimes it'll just stop firefox [18:08] salve [18:08] !list [18:08] Hi!

[18:09] onthefence928, sounds like your harddrive is failing to me [18:09] fx3: lol? [18:10] s0101, the error message describes that you have a permissions problem. Trying to copy it as root should solve that problem. Try sudo cp /media/disk/Kiss\ -\ Deuce.mp3 ~ [18:10] if you run firefox from terminal, do you get input/output error? [18:10] LjL, pmed [18:10] stat_cs: that means that you really don't have the server edition installed - you have the whole desktop edition [18:11] LjL, what! how did that happen? Thats impossible! we were running server on this for months...it just booted into a GUI today. [18:11] LjL, any way that could have happened?

I want some help about install nvidia driver. I knomw its a well documented thing. I do all like my other box - debian lenny - after the nvidia installer compiles the driver i do a /etc/init.d/gdm start. All things ok, but at the next boot the nvidia kernel modules cannot load. any help? [18:13] LjL: fine done that =) [18:13] unop, so what would you recomend as reading material for serperating networks on the same interface? my google powers havn't turned up much... [18:13] stat_cs: so the desktop wasn't installed any recently. yet, it's most certainly installed. my guess is you've had it for a long time, but for some reason the GUI stayed *disabled* until now, although it was installed [18:14] yes [18:14] i cant [18:14] s0101, same error? [18:14] Natenjo: you should see a line that says "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL" - is it there? [18:14] LjL, that is weird. Is there a way to check when the Desktop was installed? [18:14] guy need help pls :) [18:14] stat_cs: i don't think so. the only way i know is to check the dpkg logs, which we've just done, but those get rotated, so old events aren't recorded anymore [18:15] cp: missing destination file operand after `/media/disk/Kiss - Deuce.mp3' [18:15] Try `cp --help' for more information.

[18:16] LjL, so it should be plausible to remove the Desktop? [18:16] mamo_noob: is your /home separate? [18:16] mamo_noob: one partition [18:16] s0101, Can you at least acces the mount /media/disk? Is sda or sdc mounted as /media/disk? Please pastebin the output of mount -l [18:16] stat_cs: yes, but it might not be easy to remove all of it. it's pretty easy to stop the GUI from starting up, though [18:16] mamo_noob: well, 10g should do it.. Leave you with like 4 g extra space [18:16] LjL, how do you do that? [18:16] mamo_noob:it may even start from 5 gbb upto ur wish you can extend [18:16] wireless card help! http://hardware4linux.info/component/22055/ suggests that the intel 4965 is good with ubuntu; does anyone have any actual experience? i know of a bunch of 802.11g cards that are good with my system specifically (msi wind), but i'd prefer a draft-N card [18:16] danbh_intrepid: yes im going to seperated it [18:17] okay 10 gig ^^ thx [18:17] Ali_ix: hmm i on live cd now :-/ [18:17] stat_cs: first give me the output of "ls -l /etc/init.d/gdm", to try to find out when it got installed/enabled [18:17] can anyone suggest good software for capturing video off a minicam?

I have a folder that has no user rights assigned to it and it's blocking me from writing files to it [18:18] 12 February I was not even here [18:19] stat_cs: to remove it - sudo apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-desktop gdm [18:19] how about the swap file? like 1024mb? [18:19] webfarmer, chmod? [18:19] LjL, could that cause any error? We have like 20 critical websites running on this server [18:19] mamo_noob, swap = ram*2 [18:20] LjL: sorry it doesnt say anything about "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL" there :( ... [18:20] stat_cs, i cannot guarantee anything... look carefully at the packages this automatically removes, before hitting "Y"... but i do believe it won't cause any problem [18:20] mamo_noob:will you like to make a dual boot or keep ubuntu itself? [18:20] mamo_noob:prefered double as size as ram [18:20] LjL, will do. thanks a lot [18:20] Natenjo: then add it (without quotes) as the last line of the file [18:20] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: check this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=605883, but we need to make sure this is your problem first [18:20] how do I assign my username to it so that I can get writing privelages [18:20] im going to install full ubuntu ^^ [18:21] after my desktop hdd fixed im going to install dual boot with 2 hdd :D [18:21] yo guys, [18:21] webfarmer, you have two options, chmod the folder so you have access, or chown it to yourself [18:21] webfarmer: don't do that [18:21] LjL: do i edit the decument with the justyfy thinngy??

[18:24] LjL: yes :) [18:24] how do I change the user of a folder [18:24] webfarmer_: what do the permissions look like exactly? I think you can paste the one line of ls -l output that shows them. [18:24] jim_p, my graphic card is ATI radeon 9550 128bit 256Mb [18:24] webfarmer_: it depends on what you want, otherwise a chmod 777 file.txt will do [18:24] LjL, anyhow I am tarring my whole www folder and dumping the databases [18:24] I use the repo, ATI driver ... [18:25] installing on progress === negge^ is now known as negge [18:25] webfarmer_: I'm worried that it might be a filesystem inconsistency, if it has no permissions whatsoever. [18:25] I was wondering is there a way to set a alarm up using the term? like every hour on the hour [18:25] kho_zhi: you do have fglrx installed properly? direct rendering enabled etc? [18:25] soundray... when I go an right click on the folder, go to permissions, I see the folder has a user assigned to it of none [18:25] now trying to play games using wine [18:25] webfarmer_, i just told you chown username file [18:25] jim_p, dunno [18:25] vdsy, what? [18:25] drive me crazy to play cod4 and still not working [18:25] stat_cs, if you would just like to stop the GUI from loading, without removing anything (aside from the file that makes the GUI load), sudo update-rc.d gdm remove [18:25] chown? [18:25] mamo_noob:nothing more to set just make any drives you needed [18:25] if [18:25] webfarmer_: please run 'ls -ld /path/to/folder' in terminal [18:26] these files are my web files... I downloaded them off filezilla [18:26] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: open a terminal, make a new directory under /media [18:26] mamo_noob:what does this mean "drive me crazy to play cod4" [18:26] webfarmer_: chown is a terminal command. Please don't use it before we're sure that you don't have a filesystem inconsistency [18:26] LjL, the root thinngy is there as wekk how do i proceed?? [18:26] Natenjo: then i'm not entirely sure why sudo wouldn't work. type "cat /etc/passwd | grep your-user-name", is it user number 1000? [18:26] hola [18:26] i cant play cod with wine and make me goes crazy to set it up :D [18:27] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: then use sudo fdlisk -l to find your root partition path [18:27] Natenjo: (that's after exiting nano, ctrl+x) [18:27] !es | usuario [18:27] usuario: 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. [18:27] yea the chmod permissions are drwxrwxrwx for that folder [18:27] ok [18:27] how do i change the 'console font size' that was prompted to me during setup of ubuntu? [18:27] webfarmer_: and the owner and group? [18:27] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: then type: sudo mount /dev/ROOTPARTITION /media/NEWFOLDER [18:27] owner is none [18:27] my partition: / = 10gb, swap = 1024, /home = the rest of the free space [18:27] group is nogroup [18:27] webfarmer_: can you please give the entire literal output [18:28] Ali_ix: sudo: fdlisk: command not found [18:28] mamo_noob: how much ram do you have? [18:28] soundray: what do you mean? [18:28] soundray? the entire path === _LordC is now known as LordC [18:28] webfarmer_: I would like to see the full line of output from ls -ld [18:28] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: sorry, typo, sudo fdisk -l [18:28] danbh_intrepid: only 512 mb :( its old lappie that my older sis give me, going to buy one but need to save for later [18:29] pls some one suggest mamo_noob [18:29] mamo_noob:is yours 512 mb ram? [18:29] amanulla: yes [18:29] mamo_noob: well, then the harddrive breakup is good, go for it [18:29] drwxrwxrwx 15 webfarmer webfarmer 4096 2008-09-29 08:22 cncproducts [18:29] Ali_ix: done [18:29] I see webfarmer as the group [18:29] hello [18:29] LjL: yes it ways 1000:1000:username,,,:/home/natenjo/bin/nash [18:29] I mean in that line [18:30] i need some help with mp3 files [18:30] webfarmer_: okay, the owner is webfarmer and the group is webfarmer. Nothing about "none" and "nogroup" like you said above. [18:30] danbh_intrepid:" harddrive breakup is good" means? [18:30] is it true ext3 never fragmentrs? [18:30] mamo_noob: You'll need to ask in #winehq if you're having an issue with running a specific application. [18:30] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: i hope you didn't create separate /var partition while installing! [18:30] when i import my greek named mp3s in brasero or nero it doesnt sees them as greek but they are named like chinese [18:30] Ali_ix: no. all on one. [18:30] use movie player can play the mp3 file after update the code [18:30] is ther anything to do to fix the proplem? [18:31] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: look on /media/NEWDIR/var/log for messages, dmesg and kernel log files [18:31] soundray - I know thats the strange part! in my terminal it gives the readout of the group and the user... but when I right click in my gui, it gives me none and nogroup. and I can't write anything to that folder? this is so strange. what do you think the problem could be? [18:31] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: just read last 10 - 15 lines to see any strange lines [18:31] Natenjo: i'm quite unsure what the problem would be then [18:31] woah 12.30 am now [18:31] I need a virus scanner from ubuntu to scan for windows virus' on a windows partition. any recommendations? [18:31] is very important for me to find a fix [18:31] btw greek language is enabled! [18:31] LjL: well I'll just resrt and have a look again...but thanks for your efforts :) [18:32] giggsey: use avast === njpatel is now known as njpatel_away [18:32] greetings, is there a gui based program to zip files under ubuntu? thanks [18:32] does ubuntu need anti virus? [18:32] amanulla: whats your question? I was helping mamo_noob with partitioning [18:32] mamo_noob: no. [18:32] webfarmer_: can you write to the folder from the command line? Try 'touch cncproducts/testfile' (this will create an empty file named testfile) [18:33] I need help removing my titlebars from all of my windows. [18:33] danbh_intrepid:ok [18:33] soundray: ok I'll try that [18:33] once i can play M$ games with ubuntu, i'll get rid M$ [18:33] soundray, yea it creates the empty file [18:33] If anyone knows how to do this I would be very greatful. [18:33] hey guys i've got an ubuntu box and i wanted to upgrade it, maybe buy a faster processor, i've ran the command dmedicode and it says i have a socket 939 i think, does this mean i can have a quad-core? [18:34] mamo_noob: what game? [18:34] Hello all, i got a problem, i can't do anything on my desktop, it doesn't show the icons, i can't right click on it etc [18:34] Ali_ix: dont see anything fishy there. i think. [18:34] is it possible for someone to hack my friends laptop through my laptop if I'm running it on ubuntu? [18:34] danbh_intrepid:i have some doubt what happens if we just give 5 gb for "/" 1 gb "swap" for 512 mb i mean what about all those "/home,/var..." [18:34] and finished our installation [18:34] blind: mostly fps game, rainbow six, call of duty [18:35] those don't run? [18:35] amanulla: he said he was giving /home like 20g [18:35] webfarmer_: theoretically, everything is possible. Why, has yours been exposed somehow? [18:35] soundray, this is wack? [18:35] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: did you see the link, it is a thread in ubuntu forums, check it out and try fixing libc6 [18:35] hello how do i go to command line on start up ? [18:35] amanulla: and 10g to / [18:35] AthlonFanboy: ext3 fragments. unless the disk is very full, however, it places files so that fragmentation is kept to a minimum. [18:35] soundray, yea [18:35] amanulla: /home and /var are both contained in / [18:35] Ali_ix: will do now. i am trying to find the package for my pc. [18:35] blind: i did follow the instruction but dunno why its stalled freeze [18:35] will it differ from manually giving partitions for home,.. [18:35] webfarmer_: so far, it seems that the problem is not in the filesystem, but in your graphical file manager. Is it nautilus you're using? [18:35] lol the first of the platinum top 10 list on appdb is CS:S [18:36] soundray, what is nautilus [18:36] webfarmer_: it's your file browser. [18:36] webfarmer_: the gnome file manager [18:36] I'm using ubuntu [18:36] hello how do i go to command line on start up without going to the gnome screen ? [18:36] yea i got the gnome file browser [18:36] blind. yea i got the gnome file browser [18:36] soundray, how do I check [18:37] ello ello [18:37] Pici:if we allot a partition seperately for home wont it be alloted in space provided to "/" [18:37] webfarmer_: you could restart it by running 'killall nautilus' in the terminal [18:37] ello Bo [18:38] amanulla: No. For example: I have 15gb for / and 80gb for /home [18:38] Why does my Compiz do this ? http://i34.tinypic.com/2ecqijl.png ... It's really annoying [18:38] Pici:my question is which one is better just setting"/,swap" or go on providing partitions for each and every one /var,/home...... [18:38] Ali_ix: which version shall i download. i know i need the i386 one. but there are many. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glibc/ [18:38] Pici;ok tell [18:38] soundray and why would I want to do that. does it stop the gui's representation of my file system [18:38] amanulla: swap is special though, it does not fall under / [18:38] Pici:ok [18:38] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: wow! what wa you ubuntu version? 8.04? [18:39] I have 15gb for / and 80gb for /home: I have 15gb for / and 80gb for /home then [18:39] Ali_ix: yes [18:39] webfarmer_: like I said, it restarts nautilus. It's not a systematic approach to identifying the problem, but it's something that might make it go away and is easy to try. === Patyk is now known as mary === mary is now known as marcys [18:39] amanulla: You probably don't need 15 gb for / , 10gb should be more than eough [18:39] hello how do i go to command line on start up without going to the gnome screen ? i know that there is a combination key that make it /// [18:39] Is there any good and easy program for making pitcutres? drawing from scratch and editing, gimp is kinda suckie [18:39] amanulla: enough, rather. [18:39] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: my libc6 package version is: 2.7-10ubuntu4, find there and download [18:40] soundray, that does nothing [18:40] 1 and 1/2 month using ubuntu and i like it :D [18:40] Pici:if i have a 80 gb hdd and 512 mb ram suggest the best way to install plssss [18:40] Blue^Wolf press esc at grub and boot into recover mode [18:40] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: you need these packages: libc6 libc6-dev libc6-i686 [18:40] amanulla: 10gb for / , 1gb for swap, the rest for /home [18:40] but its still taking me to the login gui [18:40] webfarmer_: in the same vein, you could try rebooting your computer, but again it might not make a difference. [18:41] Blue^Wolf is ctrl+alt+f1 what you want? [18:41] webfarmer_: I don't know how this problem could come about, so beyond that I won't be much help. [18:41] soundray, tried that [18:41] i think [18:41] done installing on my lappie [18:41] i'll chkk it now [18:41] yes [18:41] #ubuntu-gr [18:41] :P [18:41] webfarmer_: oh, you should have said [18:41] Blue^Wolf ctrl+alt+f7 gets you back [18:41] Pici:recently i installed ubuntu on my friends laptop just 80 gb hdd 512 mb ram i given 5gb"/" 1gb "swap" that all nothing more and created a fat32 partition for use in xp as it was a dual boot is im correct? [18:42] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libc6 [18:43] Pici:before ubuntu he has a xp working io it [18:43] on it [18:43] Pici:as you said just now 10 gb "/" 1 swap but i havent given for home will it create a problem? [18:43] amanulla: If thats all the paritioning you did, then your friend only had 5gb to use in Ubuntu total. [18:43] Pici:yes wont it be enough? [18:43] Ali_ix: i am downloading from the earlier main/ repo that i mentioned [18:44] amanulla, 5 GB for / and that being the only partition for ubuntu is probably a little low - you could easily run out of space [18:44] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: check the link, it is much simpler [18:45] webfarmer_: are there any other folders where the nautilus info contradicts what you get on the commandline? [18:45] Ali_ix: yes. i see that the ones i am downloading ar ubuntu4 and on the link you gave its ubuntu3 [18:45] i mean we are very new to ubuntu mostly all of us use xp buy the way we all(means my friends wont have internet) so suggest me one best way to get installed all of my packages installed on my system [18:45] hi all, how do can i show what soundcard i have? [18:46] I have a question. How do you switch over to the second workspace in ubuntu? [18:46] soundray, if you said anything please respond again - I got disconnected [18:46] i have dont it before. i think something isnt working right [18:47] How can I clear my ubuntu logs? [18:47] are iptables applied to all network cards [18:47] by default? [18:47] bonjourno, im looking for a good channel to get help web design, anyone know of one?

[18:48] i mean i want to download all packages from my system and get them working on my friends system through my data traveller(usb pendrive can i?) [18:48] webfarmer_: are there any other folders where the nautilus info contradicts what you get on the commandline? [18:48] lli, I love it to death [18:48] i'll google it firstly [18:48] Psp:logos means? [18:48] what syntax? [18:48] soundray, I have no idea what you are talking about [18:48] amanulla: thats silly, just download them again [18:48] amanulla: using AptOn CD you can [18:48] language even [18:48] My kernel log grew to 250mb. [18:49] rm it [18:49] I disabled all logging long ago [18:49] amanulla: you need to have aptoncd installed on both systems. [18:49] hey does anyone have experience with cellular cards under ubuntu on laptops [18:49] migm2:download means are .deb files preferable for installing even in offline WONT they ask for additional packages to be downloaded [18:50] It seems like g15daemon error filled up the log making entries each second [18:50] ctrl-alt-f1 made the job, thank you [18:50] Can I safely remove kernel log? [18:50] webfarmer_: are there any other folders where you get the same problem? [18:50] soundray, yes this one... this folder contradicts the exact same folder I see in the terminal [18:51] only two [18:51] cncproducts [18:51] and cncproducts_old [18:51] AJuOnLiNE|zZz:yes i have aptoncd but for installing some packages its asking for net connection to download additional files [18:51] Is it safe to remove logs? [18:51] I wish to 's/XXX/YYY/' a the contents of a file from a script, what is the best way? [18:52] webfarmer_: can you create a new folder and copy the contents of cncproducts/ to it? [18:53] soundray, in terminal or in gui? [18:53] Awsoonn: sed -e 's/XXX/YYY/g' or so [18:53] webfarmer_: try gui first [18:53] ppl, what's UP ? [18:54] amanulla: you can only install the packages that you download on ONE pc to the OTHER pc. [18:54] works in gui [18:54] soundray, works in gui [18:54] does anyone knows miro, because i tried to watch a movie and it appears with a green blanket over the movie, i think that codes are missing... can anyone help me ? [18:55] amanulla: you need to create the ISO image and then save it on your USB drive. take it to the other pc. run aptoncd mount the iso and do an apt-get install package name [18:55] brb [18:55] chamuscas: install w32codecs [18:55] webfarmer_: can you rename cncproducts to cncproducts_old2 ?

[18:58] hey guys [18:58] I would have to enter a password to that box to boot it. [18:59] Seeing as its colocated i wouldnt be able to enter my password so some admin i dont know would have to know it unless i could enter the password remotely. [18:59] webfarmer_: okay, now rename the new one you created to cncproducts. [18:59] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: what is up? [18:59] jim_p:i cant see with that cmd [18:59] webfarmer_: if that works, you can delete the other one (_old2) [18:59] soundray, how do I rename in terminal [19:00] mv file newfile [19:00] webfarmer_: mv command [19:00] amanulla: let me show you mine >> http://pastebin.com/d1659ba7c [19:00] amanulla: isnt this what you want?

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [19:04] chamuscas: it asks the ubuto fot info about medibuntu [19:05] how do i run a diskcheck [19:05] another question, i have to hard drives, in "\host\" i see my drive "c" where i find the other drive , that in windows its calls "z" ? [19:05] chamunks: *ubottu [19:05] Mrono, fsck -f -C -v /dev/yourdisk [19:05] !fsck | Mrono [19:05] Mrono: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [19:05] LjL, ty :p [19:05] Psp, What logs? [19:05] gdm login themes? anyone? [19:05] Mrono: sudo shutdown -rF now [19:05] jim_p, obrigado [19:05] jim_p, well im looking to boot the os on a remote server that theoretically will be stored in an encrypted volume [19:05] !anyone | crabgrass [19:05] crabgrass: 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? [19:05] how can I logout/exit the session to start a new one using the command line please? [19:05] Blue^Wolf: run winecfg and go to the drives tab. you'll see where the fake drives are mapped to. [19:06] Mrono: it will reboot and run check disk [19:06] pici: where do gdm login themes go? [19:06] Pici: i was repeating myself 'cause i didn't get any replies the first time [19:06] AzizLight: just a exit command can do that [19:06] hallo [19:06] anyone who likes to use rTorrent ought to check out the cli usage of transmission....seems to me that its capable of just as much....plus the 'clutch' package provides a website frontend.... [19:06] chamunks: ???? [19:06] Pici: i tried ~/.themes but nope, and ~/.gdm doesn't exist, so... [19:06] crabgrass: Use the Login Manager (or similar) tool in System>Administration [19:07] Pici: ah-ha, thanks, i'll give it a go. [19:07] airtonix using Deluge. It has encryption and blocklist> bluetack.co.uk [19:07] indian_munnda: the exit command just closes the current terminal on my pc... [19:07] jim_p, well you know how ubuntu alternate install disk provides an option to encrypt your entire drive -boot partiton [19:07] AzizLight, to logout of gnome cia terminal it is : sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [19:07] that's not really logging gnome out tho [19:07] AzizLight: you said you are working in command line mode [19:08] ShinobiTeno, last time i used deluge i crashed non stop...what language is it written in? [19:08] jim_p, you cant enter the password to allow boot unless your physically at the computer im looking to enter this password via ssh connection. [19:08] Pici: fantastic, looks like it worked. thanks much. [19:08] when i type "sudo fdisk -l " output will be like this "/dev/sda1...." but i cant get which one is which drive i want to see it in the form of lable names i given can i? [19:08] indian_munnda: no I said I wanted to use the command line, not the same thing [19:08] how do I find which version of Ubuntu I have? [19:08] chamunks: i guess so [19:08] amanulla, try. sudo blkid [19:08] profxavier: cat /etc/issue in terminal [19:08] airtonix, last time i was using it on WINDOZE, it crashed indeed A LOT. On linux, it runs 24/7 nonstop. Its python. [19:08] profxavier: cat /proc/version [19:09] profxavier, via system -> about ubuntu or in terminal : lsb_release -a [19:09] jim_p, I'm just hoping that someone can tell me that this apparent fact can change [19:09] jim_p, I'm essentially curious as to whether or not you could have a secure colocated server. [19:09] unop: sudo blkid "" bash: sudp: command not found [19:10] ShinobiTeno, does deluge have a web frontend ? [19:10] amanulla, sudp ??

[19:10] amanulla: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:10] airtonix, dunno, i guess yes. Better check it on website or wiki... wait a sec. [19:10] i typed wrong [19:10] Hey, I just had a very weird thing happen, again [19:11] My ubuntu install will freeze up [19:11] !iso | mamo_noob [19:11] mamo_noob: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [19:11] mamo_noob, you mean how to mount a ISO image? [19:11] screen goes gray and then I can't do anything except move mouse around [19:11] when I ctrl-alt-F1 nothing happens [19:11] guys, once I install mysql, I see a process mysqld running, yet when I use mysql-admin to connect to localhost, I get the error: MySQL Error Nr. 1045 [19:11] same thing for ctrl-alt-backspace, ctrl-alt-esc...etc [19:11] ctrl-alt-delete [19:11] nothing works [19:11] danhs1: have you tried ctrl+alt+backspace? [19:11] nvm [19:11] danhs1: try upgrading to intrepid [19:11] profxavier, have you followed the guide on the help.ubuntu.com/community ? [19:11] airtonix, yes it has both GUI and Web. [19:12] danbh_intrepid: why would ctrl-alt-backspace not work? [19:12] ShinobiTeno, and cli? [19:12] this has happened a few times [19:12] airtonix its C++/python combo [19:12] I need to physicall hit reset [19:12] and I've lost data too! [19:12] unop:can we move across all directories over my hdd via terminal? [19:12] are w32codecs free ???? [19:12] airtonix, no, i have not [19:12] danhs1: I have profound answers for you [19:12] This stuff doesn't happen to me with windows. I'm kind of surprised. and the fact that machine is responsive so that mouse works, is just weird [19:12] danbh_intrepid: ? [19:12] profxavier, i suggest you do, for there is instructions on how to deal with this [19:12] Hello I'm very new at ubuntu...dead new...I got the server version to install and boot but I don't know how to get the gnome desktop to open...can someone please tell me how? [19:13] amanulla, i'm not sure what you mean exactly - but i'll say yes [19:13] see? the danhs logged in is my old account.... [19:13] very strange [19:13] profxavier, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [19:13] greencookie, sorry for the very late one, but of course im using sudo :) [19:13] danhs1: oops, I mean NO profound answers for you. I mean, its broke [19:13] ahah [19:13] airtonix, i want it to run standalone [19:13] not with apache [19:13] profxavier, its does not matter [19:13] kenporick: you need to install it. THe server version has no GUI. You probably should have choose the Desktop edition [19:14] profxavier, instructions there for the mysql work regardless [19:14] are w32codecs free ???? [19:14] i need bash tutos [19:14] danhs1: are you using ndiswrapper by any chance? or any other closed source drivers? [19:14] airtonix, yes: http://deluge-torrent.org/faq.php#6n56 [19:14] well i need to run a webserver and file server so that's why i chose the server version [19:14] !medibuntu | chamuscas [19:14] chamuscas: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [19:14] danbh_intrepid: nvidia drivers for video [19:14] profxavier, read the section "After installing MySQL" [19:14] orsi: okay. just making sure :) one of my mistakes previously. have you configured mpd.conf correctly? [19:14] so how do i install it? [19:14] unop: i mean to move over all my drives in my system using terminal can i? [19:15] Is there an easy and quick way to count the number of files in a foler (recursively) [19:15] amanulla, hmm, again - that's quite ambiguous - what do you mean move all drives over? [19:15] kenporick: but will you be using it for server only? Kernels for server and desktop but both can do the other. One minute, let me find the name of the package [19:15] kenporick: why would you start learning ubuntu with the server edition. the desktop is more condusive to learning [19:15] danhs1: well, I dunno, anyway, you can try upgrading to intrepid, see if the problem goes away. update-manager -d but be forewarned, intrepid is still quite buggy [19:15] giggsey, find /somedir -type f | wc -l # but that's buggy and not to be used in scripts [19:16] danbh_intrepid: sounds like not a solution [19:16] kenporick: run this is the terminal "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [19:16] kenporick, one advantage of the 32bit server kernel is that it can make use of more than 4gb of ram....whereas the desktop kernel cannot [19:16] wait i will paste my output of sudo blkid to you [19:16] * thesilence_two wonders if someone would be so kind as to help him [19:16] unop:http://pastebin.com/m7f4a23af [19:16] see this [19:16] airtonix: you know what the advantages of the dekstop kernel are? [19:17] * airtonix helps the silence speak up [19:17] airtonix, kenporick, if you recompile 32bit kernel and turn PAE option on(read wiki) youll have mem limit will shift to 64GB! [19:17] Okay thanks carandraug [19:17] danhs1: well, if thats not a solution, then your only solution might be to wait till intrepid comes out, at the end of the month [19:17] might be this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/225484 [19:17] amanulla, ok, i see this - now what do you want to do? [19:17] Launchpad bug 225484 in linux "Hardy hangs while using the pc" [Undecided,Confirmed] [19:17] unop:u can see partitions for 2 ubuntus 1 xp [19:17] danbh_intrepid, downloading for medibuntu doesn't go against ubuntu policy right it is just political and geographic problems as they say right ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [19:17] airtonix: 32bit OS (no matter if its ubuntu desktop, server, windows or mac) can see up to 4GB of ram. I have used a strory to tell why, thet even a kindergarden kid would understand. if you want to learn ask me! [19:18] airtonix: ok. I'll look on it up [19:18] jim_p, ? [19:18] hi i am new to ubuntu tell me how to install any program [19:18] !software | dinesh_ [19:18] dinesh_: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [19:18] airtonix: nothing more. 4GB is the end of the 32bit universe [19:18] amanulla, i guess - but i can't tell which are for which ubuntu and whether or not the NTFS ones are for windows, but perhaps you do. ok, but go on [19:18] pici: yes [19:18] it tells me i'm not in the sudoers file...can i run it from root log-in? [19:18] chamuscas: there are no Ubuntu policies that govern what you download to your computer [19:18] dinesh_: Read what ubottu said. [19:18] jim_p, see up about pae on the kernel....enjoy more than 4gb of ram [19:19] jim_p linux 32bit supports PAE 36bit memadress extension mode. You are wrong. Since PII, theres 64GB limit! [19:19] i wnat to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf of other ubuntu while doing so its saying acess denied so to give root access i wnat to move over that file using terminal can i? [19:19] if so i can use sudo [19:19] soundray ok now did the exact same thing with cncproducts_old, cause I had cncproducts and now it shows no group nobody username in the terminal and the gui for cncproducts_old [19:19] jim_p on Pentuim II+ IP register is extended 4 bits(36) if PAE option is set to on. [19:19] ubottu: thanks actually i am having problem regarding installing ndiswrapper [19:19] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:19] airtonix: pae is just a trick (hack if you wish) to make it see from 4GB to 64GB! i dont rely on tricks and acrobatics! [19:19] cncproducts is fine now [19:19] amanulla, if you are speaking to me, put my name down so your messages are highlighted [19:20] jim_p pae is not a trick. [19:20] amanulla, gksudo gkedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:20] amanulla: gksudo nautilus [19:20] ubuntu hardly uses any power on my laptop, how is this so? [19:20] danhs1: in that bug report, they give the same suggestion that Im giving, upgrade to intrepid [19:20] ok after installing new nvidiadrivers for my new card some screensaver keeps making my life miserable every 10 mins [19:20] i am having problem regarding installing ndiswrapper [19:20] lli, fairy dust [19:20] ShinobiTeno: ok not a trick, but no good against 64bits [19:20] unop:i wnat to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf of other ubuntu while doing so its saying acess denied so to give root access i wnat to move over that file using terminal can i? [19:20] amanulla: xomp is right my bad [19:20] anything i should kill? [19:20] dinesh_: whats the prob? [19:21] danbh_intrepid, yeh ubuntu is free bla bla, so i don't get what's the problem with does packages... =/ [19:21] hmmm after uninstallig the package still at the drive. how to get rid unuse package? [19:21] carandraug it tells me i'm not in the sudoers file...can i run it from root log-in? [19:21] !purge [19:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about purge [19:21] chamuscas: what? I didnt quite follow... [19:21] !apt-get | mamo_noob, [19:21] mamo_noob,: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [19:21] amanulla, you don't have to move the file over just to edit it - you can edit it under sudo with one of these commands. sudo nano /path/to/the/other/xorg.conf [19:21] how do I change the user owner of a folder that has been assigned to nobody [19:21] mamo_noob, in short : sudo apt-get autoclean [19:21] xomp:well this command is for in current filesystem but i want to edit xorg.conf for other ubuntu (installed in same system) [19:22] amanulla, or if you prefer gedit. gksudo gedit /path/to/that/xorg.conf [19:22] after Oct 31 when intrepid comes out does this channel continue to support hardy or will it become intrepid support channel? [19:22] danbh_intrepid, what's the big deal with medibuntu, i don't quite get it ? [19:22] ubuntu is amazing, you get a taste and you just want more, its so sexy, so versatile, so awesome... i wish i could have it inside me somehow [19:22] danbh_intrepid:i tried to install ubuntu by sudo apt-get install ndisgtk but it said not found [19:22] unop:well this command is for in current filesystem but i want to edit xorg.conf for other ubuntu (installed in same system) [19:22] chamuscas: you mean THOSE packages? well, go to the medibuntu webpage, they explain as much as can be explained I think [19:22] legend2440: It will support all versions of Ubuntu that still are under support. [19:22] I'm trying to install Ubuntu using unetbootins on my EeePC using a USB stick. But whenever I try to boot it gives the error "Missing operating system". [19:22] Pici: ok thank you [19:22] dinesh_: well, I use ndiswrapper-utils [19:23] Daft_Punk, you're on crack [19:23] kenporick: yes. You can run from root account. Root account is disables by default in the desktop edition [19:23] webfarmer, i wish [19:23] amanulla, first you need to ssh to that machine, make sure you have port 22 open on that machine and you have openssh-server installed on that machine, once there you use : sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:23] now tell me what command to un in terminal [19:23] amanulla, this command runs nano - but edits the xorg.conf on the other ubuntu - just make sure you give the right path name there [19:23] !tab > dinesh_ young jedi, you must learn to use the powers of tab completion! [19:23] dinesh_, please see my private message [19:23] unop:i mean i want to take root acess of other ubuntu onstalled by me in the same system can i? [19:23] whats the names of the default ubuntu screensavers aand how do i get rid of them? [19:23] Daft_Punk, then go ask off the street? [19:23] airtonix, he's not networked - he's dualbooting [19:23] webfarmer, that is insulting sir [19:23] why ubuntu (hardy) cannot update the latest application like pidgin 2.5? [19:23] i'll try it now carandraug [19:23] danbh_intrepid, they're explanation doesn't solve my questions but ok :p [19:23] unop, ugh [19:23] amanulla, you don't need to - just run your editor under sudo [19:24] Daft_Punk, well you ain't bumming off me [19:24] test, because its not in the repositories, wait until intrepid or update it yourself [19:24] jim_p what do you mean no good? in AMD64 you get registers extend to 64 bit and NX bit. thats all. all 32bit programs run 15% slower. [19:24] chamuscas: whats your question? I might know a little more... [19:24] kenporick: if you know how to use vim, you can edit the sudoers file by running "visudo". You'll need to be root or allowed to use sudo to do that [19:24] danbh_intrepid, just one more thing if w32codecs is a windows package i do i install it on ubuntu ? [19:24] can somebody tell me how to use kmobiletools with nokia5300 [19:24] chamunks, with apt-get [19:24] ubottu: i didnot get anything in your message is it have anything then tell me [19:24] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:24] Daft_Punk: why dont they just add the latest version on the repositories.... [19:24] ShinobiTeno: if you choose 64bit distro, you must choose 64bit apps [19:24] test: its because ubuntu only releases new software every 6 months, for reasons of stability [19:24] unop:i mean i want to take root acess of other ubuntu onstalled by me in the same system can i?

[19:25] webfarmer, have a look at using chmod [19:25] airtonix, tried that [19:25] hmmm [19:25] jim_p, i mean you can use it no problem, but theres not much packaged 64bit software, and you must recompile it. additionally, not all ppl have more then 64Gb of RAM... So pae is an option... [19:25] airtonix, ?? [19:25] can somebody tell me how to use kmobiletools with nokia5300 [19:25] carandraug it's loading now [19:25] jim_p AFAIK you only need 64 bit kernel... [19:25] airtonix, chmod 777 folderName * [19:25] chamunks, to install w32codecs packages read that first link i told the bot to link you [19:26] does anyone know what program i can use to do a batch reduce/increase in file size dimensions in ubuntu? [19:26] can somebody tell me how to use kmobiletools with nokia5300 ???? [19:26] chamuscas: its an ubuntu package, that installs windows codecs. Without those codecs, there is allot of media that you would normally be able to play on windows, that you would not be able to play on ubuntu [19:26] jim_p 32bit apps should run fine in 64bit environiment. [19:26] webfarmer, woops i meant 'chown' [19:26] can somebody tell me how to use kmobiletools with nokia5300 ???? [19:26] !info mobilephone [19:26] root acees for other means i want to change xorg.conf over my filesystem(other than which im now) as i said i have 2 ubuntus [19:26] Package mobilephone does not exist in hardy [19:26] airtonix, whats chown - do I write it chown folderName? [19:26] kenporick: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI [19:26] ShinobiTeno: I don't think what you are saying is true for Ubuntu [19:26] !info kmobiletools [19:26] webfarmer, in the terminal try this for lots of info : man chown [19:26] kmobiletools (source: kmobiletools): KDE application for controlling your mobile phone. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.3.3-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 128 kB, installed size 484 kB [19:27] danbh_intrepid, what exactly is not true?..) [19:27] webfarmer, its short for change owner [19:27] Firefox is acting up. How can I kill it from command line? [19:27] danbh_intrepid, i'm a little bit confused :S if the package is for windows and i have ubuntu, where can i get w32codecs to install on ubuntu :S? [19:27] Hi [19:27] airtonix, i think youre looking to link that to someone else. [19:27] RediXe, killall firefox [19:27] ShinobiTeno: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#AMD64%20Processors [19:27] chamuscas synaptic [19:27] unop:im getting this reeor "Could not save the file /media/disk-3/etc/X11/xorg.conf." [19:27] RediXe, killall firefox-bin [19:27] RediXe, firefox has gone to sh*t here of late, constantly crashing for no reason. [19:28] chamunks, this is your msg yes? : just one more thing if w32codecs is a windows package i do i install it on ubuntu ? [19:28] amanulla, did you use sudo?? [19:28] ShinobiTeno: i rest my case [19:28] You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again.unop:"" [19:28] amanulla, you are not using sudo [19:28] ShinobiTeno, that's the problem w32codec are not on synaptic because of some policy right ? [19:28] Thanks for all the response's ... it actually managed to kill itself before I was able to :P [19:28] chamuscas: the package is for UBUNTU, not windows. It contains things that you would get in other ways on windows [19:28] according to the Linux system administrator's guide /(root) only contains boot files and files to be able to access the other file systems but on the forums people say 10 to 20GB for root and that apps are installed there... can anyone explain? [19:28] Someone use gnomad2 ? [19:28] kenporick: it makes sense some of the reasons they present not to install a desktop environment. If you really want a GUI for your server, I'd recommend fluxbox of those they resent there [19:28] airtonix, sorry no im here today asking about encryption. [19:28] no i just edited it by double clicking it [19:28] i have SE 950i can i interact (check SMS, synchronize the contact, etc) with it under hardy? [19:28] What's the command to determine what a package's dependencies are? (build or runtime deps) [19:28] xomp: Yeah, I want to give google Chrome a try but doesn't seem to have a linux version out. [19:29] DaveKong: I dont think you need more thann 10g for root if you have a separate /home [19:29] test, i have SE p990i :D we're brothers (almost) [19:29] chamuscas, no they are not PREINSTALLED because in some contries they MAY be not legal. you can get them manually with synaptic. [19:29] amanulla, well, you can't do that - you have to launch your editor under sudo or gksudo (to make the editor run under root) [19:29] carandraug okay i'll check that thanks for being so helpfull without giving me a bunch of crap [19:29] setuid: I think dpkg -rdepends [19:29] chamuscas, apt-cache show w32codecs [19:29] amanulla, alt+f2 .. then type gksudo gedit [19:29] unop:how to launch? [19:29] danbh_intrepid, No such option to dpkg [19:29] amanulla, then file -> open , etc [19:29] amanulla, gksudo gkedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:29] chamuscas, will show you that you need to turn on the medibuntu repository... [19:29] kenporick: no problem.Good luck [19:29] airtonix, ok so I went into my folder and typed: chown webfarmer:webfarmer [19:29] danbh_intrepid, aah tks, so i got the package is there any walkthrough to guide me, because i don't know where does each file goes =/ ? [19:30] xomp, he's not editing his own xorg.conf [19:30] Daft_Punk: can you interact with your phone?

Its the cpu architecture. Thats why 32bit runs on the 64bit cpus in the first place [19:31] says - bash command not found [19:31] airtonix, says - bash command not found [19:31] danbh_intrepid: Why does one need 10gb? other forums about linux said something like 100mb for root... what is installed there that takes so much space? [19:31] airtonix, its all good i've been lurking on and off allot today so i was thinking you might have been answering one of my earlier questions. [19:31] chamuscas: erm, go to the medibuntu website, and follow the directions [19:32] i am new to ubuntu tell me how to begin using it [19:32] DaveKong: what are you trying to do? [19:32] chamunks, ah right...what was your question anyway? [19:32] danbh_intrepid, yep, still cause of PAE possibility, no one is forced to have 64bit to get that extra ram workin=) [19:32] dinesh_: it is very easy [19:32] airtonix, im trying to remove my titlebars on my eeepc's ubuntu installation so that i gain a bit more screen space. [19:32] webfarmer, have a read of this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [19:32] dinesh_: use it as u use windows [19:32] danbh_intrepid: I am trying to figure out how to set up my partitions so backing up, upgrading and sharing are easier [19:32] danbh_intrepid, yeh ok :) ty some, folks have just gived me some clues [19:32] kenporick: you can look in here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ how to configure http, ftp or whatever server you fancy [19:33] airtonix, i dont mind just using alt+space to open that little menu to minimize rezise etc. [19:33] unop:ok thank u i have done it === marko_ is now known as marko-_- [19:33] chamunks, ah right...is it possible to install openbox or you wnat to use gnome? [19:33] airtonix, openbox is another gdm? [19:33] chamunks, does the eeepc even run gnome? [19:33] chamunks, well you can run openbox as a window manager ontop of a gnome session [19:34] DaveKong: tell me how much ram you have, and how big your harddrive is, and I will just tell you what to do. Later, you can make changes as you get a better understanding [19:34] chamunks, one sec i get the page for you [19:34] airtonix, i added another 1.5 gigs of ram so it sure better run gnome ;) [19:34] carandraug will do thanks again :) later [19:34] chamunks, here is a start : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReplaceMetacityWithOpenbox [19:34] chamunks, i also have a pure openbox session...runs like the wind [19:34] airtonix, it actually runs compiz fusion rather well for its relative speed.

[19:35] hello everyone, good to see you all again. [19:35] chamunks, ah well that could give you more speed then....metacity is fairly hefty compared to openbox [19:35] how do I do that ? [19:35] when ubuntu 8.10 will release ? [19:35] danbh_intrepid: yes and want both 32 and 64 bit ubuntu [19:35] !ibex | nasser [19:35] nasser: 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! [19:35] chamunks, one thing i also notice about openbox that you may also notice about compiz...is the middle right lickc of the min/max buttons....does useful things [19:35] airtonix, i usually drop to fluxbox when i need extra speed but i've been more familiarised with gnome. [19:35] danbh_intrepid: I was also planning on trying out virtual box so I might have to reboot less [19:36] unop:over here http://pastebin.com/m7f4a23af if i would like to see all folders precent in "/dev/sda1: UUID="2440F27A40F251D2" LABEL="Empress" TYPE="ntfs" " any command? [19:36] plss [19:36] i have a problem with .xml type file. when i open .xml file and replace something that needs to be replace I am not able to save it, because it tells me "you do not have a permissions necessary to save the file." [19:36] i make a wrong partition at my desktop, 4gb of ram, 160gb hdd >100gb for /, 2gb for swap, rest for home. should be 8gb for swap since i have 4gb of ram [19:36] chamunks, aye...ive not used flux...does it have pipe menus? [19:36] airtonix, HAH! i did not know about that thats awesome! i used to just use the hotkeys. [19:36] DaveKong: hmmm, well, the basic advice is for 10g for / and everything else to /home, but if you want multiple installs, you may want a separate /boot [19:36] chamunks, yeah i really like that...i want that feature in metacity [19:36] Hi. Has anyone got paltalk working? If so, how? Thanks. [19:36] airtonix, pipe menu's... hmm i dont know what those are exactly [19:37] mamo_noob: no, you dont need 8g swap. You don't need any swap unless you want to hibernate, in that case, you only need as much ram as you have [19:37] < chamunks,there is also lxde which can be use by a chose window manager, it is fairly new but works like a charm and it is not stripped down [19:37] airtonix, i was about to shower before work but i think ill test out this open box instead lol [19:37] chamunks, well, openbox menus are xml files...so a pipe menu is the result of a script. check out openbox's website in the pipe menu section [19:37] !ibex [19:37] 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!

For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [19:41] amanulla: not for you, you need swap.

[20:10] hey there is a way to use the crontab to set a hourly alarm right? [20:10] sytxr: /bin/./ldminfo [20:10] l3d: 'at' is simpler [20:10] tomco, you are in a gui session and cant get to the terminal? [20:10] tomco, when your system comes back up setup ssh and enable x-forwarding [20:10] fx3: yeah] [20:10] anybody else get black and white videos in hardy? [20:10] l3d: put a script in /etc/cron.hourly/ [20:10] plik how so? [20:10] are u all robots? [20:11] tomco, can you run any programs? [20:11] (firefox-bin:12895): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: <-- How do I fix it? I can't exactly use google to solve this problem...

Gnome/metacity..

[20:11] badfish, ive heard of a similer bug mentioned befor - dependiong on video card/drivers issues.. Youmight want to check the forums. === mamoru78 is now known as LonelyRacer [20:12] cruddpuppet: where/how is this happening [20:12] how do u send messages to other people? [20:12] airtonix: right click has no effect ont he desktop.. i have no other way of launching a text editor [20:12] Hello.. could someone help me with updating my courier-pop3 SSL certificate? I made a new certificate, but when I try to connect, I still see the old one [20:12] I tried, comicinker, but still doesn't work. And I did set it to executable. [20:12] cruddpuppet, be sure you are running the app as the user that started up X. thats a common message when you mistakenly use sudo, and not gksu to run grahical apps. [20:12] tomco, can you transfer files to the remote computer from the one your on now? [20:12] monsterdragon13: Just write the person name before the msg to which u wanna send the msg [20:12] ejer: Firefox crashed a few minutes ago (I began to re-arrange tabs, firefox lagged) I switched to command line tty6 or whatever, killed it from there [20:12] now it won't start [20:13] !tab | monsterdragon13 [20:13] monsterdragon13: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [20:13] airtonix: is that possible via VNC? I really doubt it... the ONLY port the firewall lets through is VNC [20:13] dr_willis: I tried running it as both root and my current account to no avail [20:13] If it wasn't actually executable, maybe because it is 32 bit and my ubuntu is 64 bit(shouldn't it work anyway?), would it still say "No such file or directory" ? [20:13] hey everyone... trying to create an ad-hoc wireless network here with network-manager. After I type in the details network manager just shows the spinny icon thing forever and if I hover the mouse over it I see "attempting to connect to network ('null'" -- anyone know how I can create an adhoc wireless network with hardy? [20:13] cruddpuppet: try logging out and back in? [20:13] tomco, i was thinking either network file transfer ...seperatly from vnc [20:13] ejer: K, gonna try that. Any other possible solutions before I do? [20:13] airtonix: nope but tonite SSH will be open! lol [20:13] sytxr: maybe you mix l and I ? [20:13] indian_sunnda ? [20:14] nvm [20:14] tomco, ah ok no transfers...when you open the trashcan are you able to change the location ? [20:14] cruddpuppet: that is first thing I would try [20:14] bye [20:14] is it possible to send a file from a windows ssh client to a linux ssh server? I set up an sshd on my linux laptop and have securecrt/putty on my win xp machine [20:14] how do I install ubuntu server on to ASUPS DSVB-D Server??? [20:14] monsterdragon13: bye [20:14] CC0: get winscp [20:14] tomco, or does firefox open up? [20:14] CC0: try winscp, or some sftp / scp type transfer program [20:14] CC0, only if you download something like winSCP [20:14] tomco, i forgot you cant launch....doh [20:14] CC0: actually, filezilla is better [20:14] airtonix: cant start firefox... right click menu works on trash but not open [20:14] CC0: filezilla sucks [20:15] ok, thanks :] [20:15] try them both CC0 - i think you will see ;) [20:15] how can i mount a .iso file any command? [20:15] !iso [20:15] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [20:15] from terminal? [20:15] tomco, ok i was thinking that maybe you could create a script on your current machine and download it somehow by manipualting a program on the remote via vnc... [20:15] ejer: haha it really is good avice to try both :) [20:15] Does anyone here know if we can run/assemble mips code from the terminal? [20:15] ok when i do the cube desktop thing, is there a way to set it so when i look at the cube it doesn't snap onto a desktop? [20:16] amanulla: yes [20:16] what about the login window when still locked out? i can still get there.. [20:16] airtonix, if he can get to the console, he could start a X editor that would appear on his Desktop from there. he would have to Export the proper DISPLAY, then run the app. [20:16] tomco, what sessions are available in the session chooser? [20:16] nope, didn't confuse lowercase i and lowercase L , i even just renamed it "someprogram", to be sure, same error [20:16] shepherd: #compiz-fusion is the best place to ask about specific compiz options. [20:16] over here sudo mount -o loop in place of iso-fill name do i have to give path of .iso file? [20:16] dr_willis, can you assist in that aspect? [20:17] is there a simple way to split gedit into two colums? [20:17] hi. i'm trying to install the driver asla on my notebook asus a6va. when i do make i have this problem: http://pastebin.com/m39e8c402.... what can i do? [20:17] airtonix: session chooser logged in is gone. i CAN use cube rotate (compiz) to rotate to another screen.. but that doesnt help [20:17] when logged out i have "leave message" "switch user" "cancel" "unlock" [20:17] amanulla: depends in wich directory you are [20:17] tomco: i missed it, does alt-f2 work? [20:17] tomco, very interesting...so you cant run apps, you cant use the desktop menu, you cant access a terminal... [20:17] ejer: no [20:17] sytxr: what does ls -l | grep someprogram show? [20:18] tomco, but you can logout and in...whatelse can you do? [20:18] airtonix: you got it.. [20:18] tomco, power buttin time i think [20:18] Does anyone here use their *nix box for MIPS programming? [20:18] tomco, oh wait... [20:18] airtonix: i can work the network icon.. see the right click menu of trash.. and click my name on the menu bar to switch user [20:18] dragonf1:my .iso file is in desktop [20:18] then what to give? [20:18] airtonix: i cant LOG OUT [20:18] tomco: can you add to panel? [20:19] dragonf1:then what to give? [20:19] tomco, can you right click the space wher the panel would be and have the menu for that? [20:19] airtonix: but i can just drop VNC [20:19] airtonix: come back and it asks for password [20:19] how do I install ubuntu server on to ASUS DSVB-D Server??? [20:19] comicinker: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24076 2002-08-09 12:40 someprogram [20:19] mmmh, 2002, that's quite old [20:19] * airtonix really dislikes vnc [20:19] ironfoot_495: what is that and why is it hard to install on it [20:20] !g ubuntu [20:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about g ubuntu [20:20] sytxr: and what does show >> file /bin/someprogram ? [20:20] !g kchmviewer [20:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about g kchmviewer [20:20] ejer: because I'm using a adaptec SCSI card and it does'nt see it ?? [20:20] amanulla: so the you open terminal, it usually start in oyur home directory so the path is Desktop/ ,or if oyu are new to the terimnal I can give a bit mor troughout description [20:20] !g script [20:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about g script [20:21] kho_zhi: What are you trying to do? [20:21] it doesn't know !g for google [20:21] !wiki ubuntu [20:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about wiki ubuntu [20:21] it shows: /bin/someprogram: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped [20:21] kho_zhi, remoe the g from your bang commands [20:21] okok [20:21] !wiki [20:21] http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu development documentation wiki.

[20:21] airtonix: well i think it's really dead now.. when i reconnect via vnc it just gives a black screen.. can connect/disconnect as often as i wish tho [20:21] hey, gnome-appearance has a bug, it doesnt close properly and consumes a lot of cpu usage [20:22] !g gnochm [20:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about g gnochm [20:22] tomco, time to power down and investigate freenx or pure ssh x forwarding [20:22] !gnochm [20:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnochm [20:22] eerr [20:22] ejer: Yes I have a cd but it setup for Raid and I only have one SCSI DISK? [20:22] tomco, if you use ssh x forwarding...you can still provide windows users access with the windows software : xming [20:22] sytxr: if it doesn't start by typing >>/bin/./someprogramm , I don't know [20:23] dragonf1/:im new to terminal [20:23] how can i? [20:23] can u plss? [20:23] Well let me try and set it up for Raid even though it only has one disk maybe it will see the drive then. [20:23] !fakeraid | ironfoot_495 [20:23] ironfoot_495: raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [20:24] !mount [20:24] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [20:24] sytxr: you are sure you have an intel cpu? [20:24] amanulla, what problems are you having? [20:24] How does one repair a Ubuntu installation? I have a seperate partition for my '/' mount point, a 2gB swap partition and the rest is mounted to '/home'. How do I repair '/' using an installation CD in the event I ever need too? [20:24] Thank you already, for the effort so far, comicinker. >>/bin/./someprogram doesn't show an error anymore. Even though I don't know what the >> does [20:24] airtonix: well i think vnc over ssh would probably work too.. cuz then i cud at least SSH in when this happens and type "sudo reboot"! [20:24] Pici, any linux forum ? I want to ask about Linux enterprise wif oracle [20:25] movedx: you just reinstall to / format / only and tell partitioner that home is there and not to format it [20:25] is there an openoffice viewer , that i can run to show impress files? [20:25] Not really intel, but AMD 64 bit [20:25] fx3:i want to mount a .iso file in my present in my desktop i need command to type in terminal [20:25] tomco, when you run ssh x forwarding you wont need vnc [20:25] Hello.. could someone help me with updating my courier-pop3 SSL certificate? I made a new certificate, but when I try to connect, I still see the old one [20:25] i mean any chatroom [20:25] tomco, it becomes pointless [20:25] shouldn't it be intel 386 compatible ? [20:25] tomco: vnc over ssh is best wareally [20:25] airtonix: yeah but what kind of client do i need? [20:25] sytxr: the the executable won't work [20:25] oh, ok [20:25] tomco, thats the beauty...you wont need one [20:25] ejer: huh :"wareally"? [20:25] amanulla: mkdir /tmp/iso; mount file.iso /tmp/iso [20:25] ejer: I did just that, but I still lost all the applications I installed. My '/home' partition was left in good order. [20:25] #linux [20:25] tomco: way really sorry [20:25] and the ">>" should only show the beginning of a command, not to written ;) [20:25] tomco, you already have it : its called the X11 display server [20:25] is there a simple way to split gedit into two columns? [20:26] airtonix: link on this? [20:26] tomco, ok one sec [20:26] amanulla, mounting an iso is just like mounting a real harddrive, so: firt you need to make a mount point, just a simple directory, mkdir /media/cdimage [20:26] movedx: yes, all apps will need to be reinstalled, all settings will be preserved [20:26] airtonix: nah i'm at work... Vista [20:26] Hello can I install an RPM package in Ubuntu? [20:26] anyone have any idea why in every 10-15min the DNS servers i add are automaticly removed ? [20:26] tomco, then you want to download and install xming and get putty [20:26] So thanks again. Problem resolved, probably as much as was possible. [20:26] Cosmo-san: not really, it is a simple text editor... you could copy/paste into spreadsheet for instance [20:26] ejer: That's a shame, but acceptable. :) [20:26] there are plugins for it, too [20:26] use alien [20:26] !alien [20:26] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [20:27] amanulla, then you need to mount that iso onto that directory, mount -o loop image.iso /media/cdimage [20:27] movedx: there are ways around it, but software installs are so easy there is no point [20:27] okay, I need to find out what the saved password for my wireless network is, I need to distribute it to my other laptop :P [20:27] sytxr: hopefully [20:27] airtonix: login screen woke up! lol [20:27] Thanks [20:27] tomco, xming is a x11 server for windows...and you use putty to create the ssh x forwarding connection which provides you with a ssh tunnel [20:27] amanulla, you say that your image is in desktop, so, cd to desktop, 'cd Desktop' and use the command above [20:27] ejer: They might be easy, but they're also time consuming. This especially true if you've installed a lot of stuff for software development etc. [20:27] amanulla, are you following ? [20:28] is there a specific networking channel for ubuntu? [20:28] i cant get all those commands [20:28] okay, I need to find out what the saved password for my wireless network is [20:28] movedx: you can restore them with a script easily, and use a DVD for repo if you want... but, what would be point of reinstalling unless fresh apps were installed? [20:28] ejer: I've requested 'apt' install: vlc, seamonkey, vlc, rxvt-unicode and something else I can't remember and it's 308mB. [20:28] amanulla, whats the problem, there is only two commands you need to type [20:28] tomco, once you have your ssh tunnel, you run xming which sits in the system tray...then you connect to the remote terminal in putty and run any gui command you want...for example...just run nautilus which will boot up the desktop [20:28] hello [20:28] yep movedx [20:28] does evolution work with outlook calendar events? [20:28] Fama IM (terminal) doesnt have man pages [20:28] ejer: You could re-install core libs and revert the kernel back? [20:29] so, anyone knows how to use it? [20:29] because im new to ubuntu [20:29] fx3:plss give me a line [20:29] so that i can type in terminal [20:29] amanulla, pm me if you like, the channel can be a little busy [20:29] tomco, i will get some pages for you to read on the topic === graham is now known as gray-- [20:29] because tmscn (or whatever its called) isnt working anymore [20:29] and famam looks more exciting [20:29] amanulla, i cannot, i do not know where your image is, and what filename it has [20:29] movedx: you can do any of this, it just needs to be setup... and you can reinstall any program at any time without reformatting anyways [20:29] I need to find out what the saved password for my wireless network is [20:29] movedx: aptitude reinstall bla [20:30] ejer: Basically, I installed VirtualBox and the relevant Kernel module, and when I rebooted my graphics card was no longer detected, my sound had failed and my 22" widescreen monitor was in 640x480 resolution; in this instance it's easier to repair the core libs and the Kernel than try and resolve the issue manually. [20:30] tomco, http://blandname.com/2006/10/19/manage-linux-workstations-using-xming/ [20:30] ejer: Yes. I guess I need to learn the tools available to me and I could have resolved the issue. [20:30] movedx: there is no way the core libs or kernel were changed, it is a config issue [20:30] tomco, http://www.tjansson.dk/?p=163 [20:30] What preference do I need to modify to change the default browser that xdg-open uses? [20:31] tomco, http://www.ax697.org/xming-with-windows-xp-and-ubuntu-200749.html [20:31] !update-alternatives | Cyde [20:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:31] ejer: It was a Kernel module that was installed. Perhaps you're right. But I see no reason for VirtualBox to edit the 'xorg.conf' file, and remove sound? Why? [20:31] movedx: i can assure you it did not [20:31] hey, I just installed ubuntu (I have vista, and xp somewhere too, but i'm more interested in getting vista back up), and grub says "error 22", it's just this minute been installed [20:32] tomco, this page shows xming being used on vista : http://www.tjansson.dk/?p=163 [20:32] I like xming, its a handy tool [20:32] ejer: Ah, I found it inside System Settings -> Default Applications [20:32] i'm currently booted into ubuntu live, if i need to make changes, can you tell me what I should do? [20:32] airtonix: thanks! so right click doesnt work at all on bar, background or taskbar anymore... i think trash is dead now too.. but network and switch user still up [20:32] Cyde: sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser is the terminal way [20:33] tomco, yeah i ran a web development training group for about three years, and i had some of the machines running ubuntu feisty... [20:33] ejer: Then I guess I leave you with one simple (to ask) question: why did my nVidia driver(s) fail and why did my sound card suddenly become non-existant? There's no valid explanation to this from your reasoning, except the Kernel module installed during the VirtualBox installation somewhere messed with something. [20:33] tomco, i wanted the windows users to use gedit so i used xming to serve it up to them....it was great [20:33] My firestarter events log shows a series of blocked attempts to access different ports by the same IP over a short space of time - is that someone portscanning me? [20:34] ejer: Ah, so there's a bunch of symlinks in /etc/alternatives/ . Neat. I was not aware of this. [20:34] movedx: cause you made a mistake most likely [20:34] Cyde: ya it is pretty cool way to do it [20:34] tomco, apparently though freenx is a compressed version of ssh x-forwarding and has even better peformancs...people report great results even over dial up [20:34] hi guys, i have this problem, http://pastebin.com/m36fb1644, with a make command. [20:34] ejer: Do you know if this is also where I specify my default sound system? So far, I haven't yet been able to get pulseaudio starting automatically with KDE. [20:34] using vnc you can achieve same thing, use -encodings tight [20:34] I just installed a new HD and formated it to Ext3. how do I allow a user to have full access (read/write/execute/ ) to this drive? [20:34] looking to determine if 3Com EtherLink XL 10/100 PCI TX NIC is supported by ubuntu, searched www.ubuntuhcl.org, no results, recommendations to other locations to search would be appreciated [20:34] airtonix, its one hell of a pain to set up however [20:35] fx3, freenx? [20:35] no Cyde not there... [20:35] airtonix, indeed [20:35] and does Ext3 support 1TB? [20:35] fx3, mmm probably why i have yet to use it... [20:35] ejer: That's not something I haven't consider, though it wouldn't be me that made the mistake, more apt. Simply installing VB using "apt-get install virtualbox" hardly makes it my fault. [20:35] airtonix, but i do attest that its blazingly fast, using very little bandwidth [20:35] gin : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive [20:36] ejer: If the application isn't supported correctly, then that's also not my fault. besides, you've answered my question now, thanks for your time. [20:36] fx3, makes vnc look really bad....but i still see one or two out of a million possible uses for vnc... [20:36] no prob movedx and fyi I have nvidia and have run vbox for a long time, installed through apt [20:36] Is there speech recognition software i can run under ubuntu? sim looking for somethign like dragon naturally speaking [20:36] airtonix: oh well maybe next time.. anyone know of any Public DNS servers? [20:36] tomco, dyndns [20:36] phantomcircuit: it is nowhere close to dragon, but there does exist some [20:37] airtonix (next time on fixing this) [20:37] tomco, ubuntu has ddclient in the repos for updating the ip [20:37] phantomcircuit: however, older dragon version run in wine apparently [20:37] ejer: So these symlinks are read by my shell? I'm finding many symlinks in /etc/alternative that I use on a somewhat regular basis .. [20:37] ejer: I personally think my mistake was using the restricted drivers that come with Ubuntu. I should have used EnvyNG, which is what I've done this time around. [20:37] airtonix: oh no not that.. [20:37] airtonix: our site is setup on opendns and i need to get to a site that is blocked [20:37] tomco, oh you men like opendns? [20:37] where can i find a hcl website? [20:37] ejer: Or maybe not, the ones I access from the shell seem to have symlinks in /usr/bin/ ... [20:37] tomco, have you tried using tor and privoxy? [20:38] movedx: could be but I use restricted drivers... there are many things at play [20:38] airtonix: no does that require signup [20:38] tomco, not from memory [20:38] airtonix: i shud just be able to hardcode dns.. but dont know what to set it to [20:38] tomco, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Privoxy [20:38] Cyde: man update-alternatives is a good place to start [20:38] ejer: I think I'll just use VMWare - more support and more functionality! ;) [20:38] good luck movedx :) [20:39] tomco, I gotta go afk for while... [20:39] airtonix: k thx for all your help! [20:39] Cosmo-san: I was trying to find a text editor where you can split into two columns [20:40] Cosmo-san: I didn't find any, other than emacs22 [20:40] like to compare 2 files? you could use diff [20:40] Speaking of VMWare, I'd like to try running Kubuntu in a virtual machine under Ubuntu, but I'm a little overwhelmed with the myriad options of Qemulator, especially in regard to partitions and thus data loss.

[20:52] NiKeCRu666: look at MPD http://www.musicpd.org/ [20:52] ejer: he didn't seem sure, and probably was if he did manage to succesfully mount the device [20:52] ejer: how else would he have succesfully mounted the device?

In that case you can just install it from the universe repository, or maybe multiverse [21:52] ryanakca: if you have more than 3GB ram yes for sure, if not... up to you [21:52] ejer: the link you sent doesn't mention anything about seeing other users home directory [21:52] danhs: you need to read admin guide [21:52] bobertdos: ah, sorry, I should have been more clear in my original query. I use Opera. [21:52] ryanakca: There is a difference in performance, but unless you have 4 gigs of ram or more, it's probably not extremely worth it. [21:52] ejer: openfiler adminguide/ [21:52] ? [21:52] yes matreya6:yes, and im using flash10 [21:53] greetings, how do i launch "file roller" it isn't in the menu pull down list.. thanks [21:53] in opera it's flash 9 [21:53] bobertdos: but opera does seem to have an about:plugins anyway and I see two Flashes [21:53] SlimeyPete, sorry about that, I'm not familiar with flash in Opera [21:53] flash is hard to install in opera [21:53] SlimeyPete: I've tested opera with flash 10, and not even that works all that well. [21:53] So, if I have 512mb ram, but might get more down the road, I might as well try going for x64... Are there any negative side effects if you have less than 3/4GB? [21:53] anyone know why frostwire doesn't work? [21:53] ahhh, I think it's picked up both the general plugin in /usr/lib and the one in the firefox dir [21:53] dragon33, if you have already installed it, just run fileroller & from the terminal [21:53] !work | hardcore [21:53] hardcore: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [21:54] i want to install (update) the new version of gimp, apt-get install tells me it is already up to date but that is not true, how can i do this? [21:54] thanks :-) [21:54] gnusar: getdep or ppa [21:54] getdeb [21:54] thank you guys [21:54] Does anyone know how-to get e-mails to sort by order they arrive, newest e-mails starting at the top of the inbox? I'm using Alpine and accessing my gmail account via imap. [21:54] !pastebin [21:54] 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) [21:54] gnusar, You can add the repository for the development version of the GIMP, see gimp.org [21:54] SlimeyPete: I gave up on ubuntu flash [21:54] !getdeb [21:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about getdeb [21:54] it said frostwire installed successfully. i clicked on applications, internet, frostwire. it does nothing, at all [21:54] SlimeyPete: I just followed instructoins here http://www.queleimporta.com/how-to-install-flash-10-rc-on-ubuntu-64-bits-with-2-clicks/en/ [21:55] SlimeyPete: In Opera's Preferences, there is a place where you can add and remove from the list of directories the browser looks for plugins. I suggest removing the mozilla directory from the list. [21:55] SlimeyPete: that works *pretty* well [21:55] SlimeyPete: not perfect, but my machine no longer crashes from flash and I can see flash videos *most* of the time [21:55] bobbertdos:for some reason i now have flash in opera [21:55] maybe no other frostwire users here?? [21:56] hardcore, try launching it from a terminal [21:56] SlimeyPete: A couple of sites have trouble, but youtube works, and most other sites too [21:56] brb [21:56] is there anyway to change or reset the last modified date for text files? [21:56] how do i launch from terminal? [21:56] hardcore, see if it spits out any errors [21:56] How could I have a particular command run at startup without making some big init.d script? [21:56] hardcore: type "frostwire" in a terminal and see exactly what error it gives you. [21:56] whats the command? [21:56] thiebaude: Probably because by default, Opera looks in its own plugins directory AND in the mozilla directory. [21:56] SlimeyPete, thiebaude, maybe you can compare installed flash-plugins in synaptic or apt-cache. [21:56] i'll try that thanks [21:56] hardcore, type this. frostwire [21:56] hardcore: then look at the errors that are mentioned at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [21:56] Rythmbox has to be one of the most unappealing programs I've ever seen to play music lol [21:57] supertanker, you can place your command in /etc/rc.local before the exit 0 at the end [21:57] pen, sure, see the touch manpage [21:57] it's equivilent to playing mp3's in notepad :P [21:57] thiebaude: Actually, now that I think about it, Opera looks in a VERY long list of places for plugins by default. [21:57] did SlimeyPete see my notes about flash? [21:57] Thanks unop [21:57] Is there anyone here who has managed to get MIDI working on a Soundblaster Live! ? I don't see any errors, but there is no sound, even with all ALSA output sliders maxed out. [21:58] matreya6: did you install a soundfont? [21:58] Does Ubuntu implement IPv6 anonymization (a la RFC3041)? [21:58] matreya6: I hate to be dumb, cause I don't know this stuff, but have you looked into pulse issues? I've heard those are a doozie in hardy [21:58] LjL: Yes, I installed several soundfonts, including sfxawe and the fluidsynth soundfonts [21:59] danhs, I don't use Pulse asa Soundserver, only ALSA and JackAudio [21:59] matreya6: well, all i can tell you i guess is to double-check everything at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Midi/HardwareSynthesisSetup [21:59] mdmkolbe, anonymization or autoconfiguration ? [21:59] danhs: I don't know if he saw them or not. [21:59] eh....what can you do? [21:59] unop: anonymization. not autoconfiguration. [21:59] the link I sent him works for fixing flash stuff [22:00] LjL, thanks for the hint, I have exhausted all the links there and everything works fine, expect there is no soud output from my speakers [22:00] Does gnome have a gui to simplify the setting of session locale variables? [22:00] mdmkolbe, oh, no idea what that means then, sorry [22:00] There is a language tool for setting default global prefs, and for adding languages [22:00] can't find a per-user thing though [22:00] i typed frostwire in the terminal and it replied with Starting FrostWire... [22:00] Java exec not found in PATH, starting auto-search... [22:00] OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /usr/lib/ hierarchy [22:00] You need to upgrade to JRE 1.5.x or newer from http://www.java.com [22:00] ls: cannot access /usr/java/j*: No such file or directory [22:00] hardcore: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:01] !java | hardcore [22:01] hardcore: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [22:01] i typed frostwire in the terminal. it said java exec not found in PATH [22:01] i went to java.com, there [22:01] tjere [22:02] hardcore, see what ubottu just said to you [22:02] there's no deb file at java.com [22:02] what do you mean? [22:02] !java > hardcore [22:02] hardcore, please see my private message [22:02] oh ok thanks [22:02] !java [22:02] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [22:02] this doesn't really have to with ubuntu, or linux in general, for that matter, but I don't know where to look for the answer. I am trying to sign up for google adsense but google rejected my application because it thinks I have a PO box. I don't have one, my address is HC 60 box 56a, which is a street address. Can anyone point me in the right direction? [22:02] hardcore, i mean READ THE INFORMATION AT https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire - third time [22:03] sooo.... anyway. setting per-user locale hints? [22:03] hardcore: it HAS the error that you got, it DOES tell you to install Java, it LINKS to the page that tells you how to do it, and it DOESN'T tell you to go to java.com if you get that error [22:03] I'd like to do it "right" and not be editing my profile files [22:03] Where is the inittab file at in Xubuntu? [22:03] hardcore: Installing from Sun's bin is kind of messy. They really don't give you thorough enough instructions for setting the appropriate environment variables, so we just recommend people stick to the repos. [22:03] this is also about linux userfriendliness :) [22:03] !upstart > supertanker [22:03] supertanker, please see my private message [22:03] it was doing such a good job on global settings [22:04] lakotajames: sounds like a bug in google po box algorithm...email google. what else can you do? [22:04] nemo, you could adjust the LANG variable - but what are you aiming to do exactly? [22:04] unop: sure. and that's what I might do in, oh, gentoo [22:04] how would i return the first result in the following statement? "export me=`whoami` && grep $me usplog | cut -d " " -f 1 2> echo $_" [22:04] danhs: I thought maybe there might be a way to write the address differently. thanks, though. [22:04] I'm asking because I want my server to start in runlevel 3 instead of 5 [22:05] unop: but since there is System->Administration->Language Support, and a pretty gui, I was hoping there was something similar for setting the language for a specific user [22:05] DreDawgg: you might ask better in #bash [22:05] how can i install emacs IDE? [22:05] DreDawgg, that's better written as .. grep $USER usplog | cut ... | head -n 1 [22:05] Uplink, sudo aptitude install emacs [22:05] hi all... i have a problem i asked about a few days ago... [22:05] My 1680x1050 screen works ok with the linux generic kernel, but it's blank in linux-rt kernel (the realtime kernel) [22:05] Can somebody help me? It's crucial to me [22:06] unop: i did... but i want IDE bro... [22:06] lakotajames: maybe. play around with it. you know what's acceptable to the post office for your address [22:06] thanks [22:06] Uplink, i've never heard of the emacs IDE [22:06] Hello. Which path can I use exept /home/user and /temp to store data? I want to create a birtualbox but my home partition is too small. [22:06] lakotajames: if you can tweak it, and still get mail, go for it [22:06] unop: like where is the GUI? [22:06] trece8; did you install the video driver while using the kernel-rt? [22:06] lakotajames: also, think about where they're looking it up. is it your driver's license, federal tax id, etc..... [22:06] How can I change my startup runlevel from 5 to 3? [22:06] lakotajames: it's google, not the irs.... [22:07] Uplink, you might have to install the xemacs package for the GUI [22:07] bastid_raZor: no... [22:07] forreal man this is getting absolutely ridiculous ! why is it so hard ust to mount a external harddrive ? and why is it all the tutorials online do NOTHING! none of them give any kind of help to me what so ever!. and if they do, why do people write them for newbies talk to them like they know EVERYTHING they do... OMG! what gives? [22:07] Hmm. [22:07] what driver should i install? nvidia-glx-new ? [22:07] (i have an nvidia geforce 6200 TC( [22:07] unop: ok let me try ty... cause i dont see it on the applications menu... but when i type "emacs" on the terminal it loads [22:07] trece8; whatever driver your card needs. [22:07] supertanker, the default runlevel on ubuntu is 2 (not 5) and runlevels 2-5 are all the same - so there is little point in what you are trying to do. [22:07] NiCK_NaME: ... hard to mount an external HD? I literally just plugged it in. [22:07] supertanker: ubuntu doesn't use the concept of run levels , see !upstart [22:07] ok, bastid_raZor , thanks... i will return here [22:07] after trying [22:07] danhs: I would, but the "you were not accepted" email took two days to arrive after signing up. I'd rather not wait that long. I think I will email them. Unless you know a live chat thing, or irc channel? [22:08] nemo: why can i not do that! [22:08] So should I remove X? >_> [22:08] NiCK_NaME: USB? [22:08] NiCK_NaME: you just want to mount an external drive? [22:08] guntbert, errm, sure it does - just that you don't think of them from a sysvinit point of view [22:08] !upstart [22:08] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [22:08] How can I stop X from starting? [22:08] I saw that [22:08] nemo: yes usb [22:08] I can't figure out where Upstart stores its stuff [22:08] config files* [22:08] supertanker, sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove [22:08] lakotajames: I don't....I think google's thing is to automate everything and not have people answering phones....but hey google search for customer service! [22:08] unop: I stand corrected :) [22:09] NiCK_NaME: what is the output of the 'ls -la /media' command? [22:09] roukoun: Just want to mount a external! OMG you make it sound so easy... i been working at this for a day and a half now... [22:09] frostwire works fine now, thanks yall [22:09] NiCK_NaME: what filesystem is on the USB drive?

[22:10] nemo: yeah my buddy with a Mac OS formatted me a HD just for this... [22:10] Before I do this, how would I reverse this? "sudo update-rc.d add gdm multiuser"? [22:10] NiCK_NaME: open a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and type : 'ls -la /media' [22:10] nemo: sure i can do that [22:10] Hello? [22:10] NiCK_NaME: yeep. sure hope he didn't format it as a mac filesystem :-p [22:10] My fonts in GNOME do not take on anti-alaising, what do I do?

[22:48] are intel WiFi 5100 drivers out yet? [22:49] anyone read about this new super DoS that was found??

[22:50] LjL, yes I did use dd to create it [22:50] lol no idea [22:50] !offtopic | Anarchy, Mr_Fixit [22:50] Anarchy, Mr_Fixit: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [22:50] it was on /. [22:50] when I close a program the stuff it had on the clipboard disappears, what gives? [22:50] <__mikem> bobertdos: that did not fix it [22:50] administrador, what do you mean? [22:51] does 8.10 support AHCI? [22:51] it has to do with the tcp/ip stack from what i can tell [22:51] Anyone know how to open ports, do I use Firestarter? [22:51] Spherous: then it's simply a byte-by-byte copy of your partition (or entire drive). you can probably mount it with "sudo mount -o loop filename.dat /mnt/somewhere" (where the directory /mnt/somewhere must exist) [22:51] Hi. In System --> Preferences --> Power Management I have 'Actions' and 'Display' set to 'Never' when on AC Power. The screensaver is set to the max time of 2 hours. However, I actually want to disable the 'power off' feature of the monmitor all together. I don't want the screensaver to come on at all. Anyway to disable? [22:51] Anarchy, yeah; afaik its to do with syn_cookies (which help keep your machine alive if you're being dosed already). They can have some issues themselves... being dosed is apparently one of them. [22:52] lol [22:52] <__mikem> bobertdos: seriously, could you please give me something else to try, I have been desperately trying to get help from people for the last hour [22:52] no help on the sound issue eh.. [22:52] Can anyone tell me if there's anything like ShhMBP for those running Ubuntu on MBPs? [22:52] dude can you pls help me on configuring my Firestarter? [22:52] so, first sudo mkdir /mounted/somewhere ? [22:52] I believe ShhMBP disables C0. [22:52] Anarchy, this channel is for Ubuntu support, not for discussing TCP exploits. that's what the !offtopic was hinting at. [22:52] I'm about 90% sure that the problem is that you can guess the syn cookie [22:53] hello , have anyone tried wifi on laptop with ubuntu 8.04 ? i remember 8.01 wasnt working not like 7.10 was working flawlessly [22:53] lol osrry [22:53] so where do i go for ubuntu hardware support ?

[22:57] @gamikage, make sure you check for any accounts this person may have made and if you do find any accounts made by this user, be sure to delete them [22:57] I made the dir first, so no worries about that [22:57] ok, thanks, is there anything besides Firestarter as Firewalls?? [22:57] @theNoyes, Good ? i guess you could say that [22:57] Spherous: "loop", not "lopp" [22:57] @gamikage, you shouldn't need to "open" ports on ubuntu [22:57] Ugh, lol alright, one sec [22:57] I'm unable to get the composite extension to load.. my X logs state: (**) Extension "Composite" is enabled, but xdpyinfo claims composite is *not* loaded.. anyone familiar with this, or have guesses why?

[23:01] cool, thanks [23:01] QuantumRand, we can read you. :) [23:01] ps I'm using an up to date intrepid [23:01] LjL, what happened is it is a IDE back up drive. I backed up stuff in ubuntu, reformatted my main Sata hd to vista, vista didn't read the back up, so I reformatted back to Ubuntu, and still Ubuntu can't mount the drive [23:01] anyone know if there's a fix to install 8.04 on AHCI? [23:01] thvdburgt, shouldn't you take intrepid problems to #ubuntu+1 ? [23:01] woli:where did you get 2.5.1?

[23:02] anyone here on 8.04 with a geForce (working) [23:02] Necrosan, not till end of the month or so [23:02] Spherous, what mount is complaining about is that the partition is marked as "dirty" (it might actually be corrupted, or not), so one should run chkdsk on Windows. since this is not possible in this case, you should run a Linux equivalent of chkdsk for NTFS, and there should be one, but the name escapes me right now [23:02] LjL, every time I reformatted I took the IDE back up drive (the one I'm having problems with) out of my PC [23:02] sheesh, Hardy hasn't been out that long lol. Do people really expect the latest to be released so soon? [23:03] xomp, we want it now! and we want it perfect! [23:03] :) [23:03] LjL, alright, how would I go about find out what that is? [23:03] i want pie === felix-da-catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [23:03] how does one either check NTFS from inside Ubuntu, or mark it as clean, or tells mount to stop whining about it?

[23:04] thiebaude: ah dont worry, that download will work in your installation, what i do not want to do is recreate all my accounts, therefore i am here asking...

It just keeps running. [23:09] ryanakca, you should never ever have to kill -9 anything [23:09] I need help getting dvd playback to work on my laptop. [23:09] !dvd > smokeleazy [23:09] smokeleazy, please see my private message [23:09] unop: I know, but ^C doesn't work :) [23:09] carandraug I want to have an admin permission [23:09] ryanakca, and if you do, you must be aware of the implications and dangers of using kill -9 [23:10] nemo: im back [23:10] how do i remove modules? (noob alert) module eg: nvidia-glx-new [23:10] ryanakca, try sending it a kill -2 [23:10] neme: and my HD is unpluged [23:10] nemo: and my HD is unpluged [23:10] unop: ok.I don't even know what that file is [23:10] why ish AHCI gay? [23:10] Mustafaahmed: open the file with sudo [23:10] unop: still running :) [23:10] woli:ok, i'll go for the new pidgin, got to wait for a pm, im trying to help someone [23:10] @shark, use apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new [23:11] how [23:11] ryanakca, has the process been stopped/suspended? [23:11] tx [23:11] unop: nope :) [23:11] I actually came here for help on my problem T.T [23:11] ryanakca, well, send it a SIGCONT (-18) anyway [23:11] anyone here have experience with libmtp and the creative zen x-fi? [23:11] woli:tell me what happens when download and install the new one [23:11] ryanakca, then a normal kill [23:12] thiebaude: i'm currently asking on the pidgin channel if I will loose my plugins on the process [23:12] Spherous: try "ntfsfix file.dat" [23:12] ok,woli [23:12] bbl [23:12] !ubottu [23:12] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [23:13] LjL, so any idea what I have to do? [23:13] unop: nope :) [23:13] LjL, oh, sorry didn't see your message to me~ [23:13] ryanakca, what does ps have to say about this process? [23:14] libdvdread and libdvdnab and libdvdcss are not working for me, does yanyone know anything else that I could try? [23:14] unop: what options should I pass to ps? 'ps aux | grep ' ? [23:14] LjL, http://pastebin.com/m6eb2417e [23:14] hello? [23:15] ryanakca, that should do [23:15] unop: oh, nevermind... the kill -9 finally caught up to it... took a minute :) [23:15] unop: thanks :D [23:15] ryanakca, heh, what'd i just say about kill -9? [23:15] Spherous: try again mounting [23:16] LjL, Just regave me susa@Spherous:~$ [23:16] Hi there .. when I load up Ubuntu one of my screens is in really weird colours (not 24, just horrible, wrong, eye-hurting colours) .. Any idea what could be causing this on one of my monitors? [23:16] Spherous: then it mounted it, i think. peek at /mnt/somewhere and see if your files are there. [23:16] does anyone know why I wouldn't be able to play a dvd? [23:17] LjL, Nothing there, the folder is empy. but it says: 0 item, Free Space: 67.7GB [23:17] Spherous: what did you type, exactly, to mount it? [23:17] ok ok [23:17] LjL, susa@Spherous:~$ sudo mount -o loop /home/susa/Documents/fool.dat /mnt/somewhere/ [23:18] is there anyone in this room that can help me? [23:18] ok [23:18] Spherous: what does "mount | grep somewhere" say, if anything? [23:18] smokeleazy, comercial dvd playbak needs the decss decritpion package [23:18] !dvd [23:18] 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 [23:18] Spherous: (this doesn't sound good) [23:18] where can I get that? in synaptic? [23:18] smokeleazy, i install them from the medibuntu repos.. You could try vlc - it might not need them [23:18] !medibuntu | smokeleazy [23:18] smokeleazy: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:19] LjL http://pastebin.com/m5b51de6 [23:19] dr_willis:medibuntu is good [23:19] how do I access medibuntu? [23:19] Spherous, then the system thinks it's mounted on /mnt/somewhere, but it just thinks there's no file in it :| [23:19] LjL uh, so what do I do...? [23:20] I already tried to install libdvdcss, libdvdnav4, libdvdread3 [23:20] make: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: Command not found <-- what would this be under ubuntu 8.04? [23:20] smokeleazy: libdvdcss2 is only IN medibuntu. The website will tell you how to add the repo. [23:21] Spherous: i don't know. i think your best bet would be to write it back to some real HD, and then use Windows to attempt to read it. Ubuntu isn't *so* good at reading NTFS. [23:21] LjL, windows was worse [23:21] Is Ubuntu applying to the Open Group for UNIX certification for the newest release? [23:22] LjL, it just errored and everyone told me to use a file recovery program, but all that found was 3 year old files from win xp that I formatted off it a long ass time ago [23:22] Spherous, well, the only thing i can suggest is finding any particularly important files using "raw" recovery techniques. at this point i really wouldn't know how to actually mount the thing. [23:22] !recover | Spherous [23:22] Spherous: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [23:22] !windows [23:22] For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [23:22] lol [23:23] Spherous, some of the programs listed there are pretty smart, although your mileage varies especially depending on the type of files you're looking for. === cs278 is now known as Guest52001 [23:23] anyone know how to configure Audigy LS sound card for Ubuntu? [23:23] LjL, looking for just pics and 32 GB of music. The music isn't really all that important, just the family pics... [23:23] Is Ubuntu applying to the Open Group for UNIX certification for the newest release? [23:23] LjL, I can always rerip my music, but I can't retake pics [23:24] Stormx2: I assume there's a 64-bit version of build-essential. I would make sure that's installed. [23:24] Spherous: those are kinds of files that are *relatively* easy to restore, sometimes. try first the "photorec" program from the "testdisk" package (it's described on that page), it's made specifically for pictures [23:24] bobertdos: build-essential is installed [23:24] LjL, alright, thanks. What would of caused this to happen? [23:25] Stormx2: Hmm, I don't know enough about the package structure for 64-bit architecure to suggest anything else, I guess. [23:26] Necrosan: #ubuntu+1 might have an answer for that, but definitely no one here. [23:26] hai guyz, is there a way to render image of complex math problems? i heard of TeXET or something like that, i jsut need a render to image and maybe a GUI to edit it [23:26] hola [23:27] hola carmen [23:27] LjL, reading this site, it says mounting a NTFS drive image created with dd is this command: sudo mount -t ntfs -o r,force,loop,offset=32256 file mnt [23:27] bobertdos: i've got it, don't worry [23:27] bobertdos: Basically I needed to remove the -pc bit from the makefile [23:27] quiero comunicarme con gente de bolivia [23:27] Spherous: well, try it, although i don't think those added options are very relevant, except perhaps "offset"... [23:27] it turns out that I already had medibuntu repo installed, is there anything else I could try? [23:27] hola [23:27] Spherous: first, unmount it, though, since you have already mounted it. sudo umount /mnt/somewhere [23:27] carmen: Vaya a #ubuntu-es, por favor. [23:27] !es | carmen [23:27] carmen: 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. [23:28] thanks ljl [23:28] LjL, alright, what can I do to unmount what I have first? it says unmount isn't a bash command [23:28] Spherous, its 'umount' [23:28] is there anything else that I can try to get my dvd to play? [23:29] smokeleazy, install the decss stuff.. run dvd player from terminal, try to play dvd.. look for error messages [23:29] hi... i'm here again.. trying to make linux-rt work with my 1680x1050 screen.. some ideas somebody? [23:29] smokeleazy: It would be helpful if you described to us why exactly things haven't been working for you. [23:30] how to issue "make" whith forcearchitecture? [23:30] LjL, hmm it says NTFS signature is missing === remi_ is now known as remi [23:30] Spherous: then i guess the offset isn't such a good idea after all. perhaps it's needed when the image is of a drive, but yours is probably of a single partition [23:31] Should I try it with the drive? [23:31] Spherous: you could, although if it's physically damaged, then each time you mess with it you highen the chances of breaking it [23:31] Spherous: but, if you ask me, yes [23:32] (is highen even a verb) [23:32] do you know how to make the nvidia-glx-new-envy work? [23:33] i install that with apt-get or synaptic, but when i try to "enable" it in the administration menu, it doesn't work [23:33] trece8, did you try the supported options to load nvidia drivers? envy is *not* supported by Ubuntu [23:33] matreya6: i tried with nvidia-glx-new [23:33] !envy | trece8 [23:33] trece8: 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 [23:33] doesn't work with linux-rt (that's the problem, with the generic kernel works but with the realtime no) [23:33] can i add a panel launcher to open a folder in gnome? [23:34] wow, it made it into universe... [23:34] 01:0e.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS [23:34] hey guys [23:34] LjL, I forget where the drive was, I thought it was /dev/sdb2 but I think I am wrong, how would I find out again? [23:34] matreya6: i understand, but... i want it to work [23:34] Hello [23:34] I'm a noob [23:34] trece8, a realtime kernel? do you need to run it in a hospital or something? [23:34] Aren't we all [23:34] I have downloaded hidpoint [23:34] .bin [23:35] Spherous: /dev/sdb2 is a *partition*. /dev/sdb would be the entire drive. [23:35] i program realtime audio stuff [23:35] and i run the command with sudo [23:35] its really important [23:35] Need help configuring my internet (wired ethernet). [23:35] does anyone here run sound blaster xfi in ubuntu ? [23:35] i copy and paste the name of the software [23:35] and it never finds its... [23:35] *it [23:35] If it weren't, I wouldn't even bother [23:35] Just checking.... ntfs is fully supported on ubntu now,right? [23:35] vodkatonic: Yeah, you could.........You could make a launcher that has the command: nautilus [23:35] LjL, alright, that was right, I just typed sbd2 not sdb2. So it failed and said it doesn't have a valid NTFS. O.o [23:35] trece8, Sorry about that m8 [23:36] LjL, should I try just sdb? [23:36] I'm backing up my old laptop drive to an external drive that's formated NTFS, I shouldn't have any problems with this,right? [23:36] puff: "fully" is a strong term === cs278^ktulu is now known as cs278 [23:36] Spherous: yes, try that. [23:36] didn't understand, matreya6... [23:36] trece8: tried this? http://meandubuntu.wordpress.com/2008/07/17/install-nvidia-17713-drivers-on-realtime-kernel/ [23:36] how can i get my web cam to work with firefix it works with skype but not on firfox? [23:36] I can't connect to the internet from my linux box. Previously I could. Right now I'm accessing it via intranet ssh. [23:36] cheek1, cameras don't work with browsers [23:36] trece8: I ended up not running realtime; but it might work. [23:36] what commands could I use to check its settings [23:36] is like trying to make a camera work with a spaggeti [23:36] LjL, same thing, says it doesn't have a vaild NTFS [23:37] Guys, anybody can help with installing hidpoint? [23:37] trece8: it a web cam chat room ..and i used it with windows [23:37] redf1sh: thanks, but... it HAS to work :( [23:37] hi dudes, my Ubuntu is running the way to slow, any ideas on how to speed it up__ [23:37] ?? [23:37] Spherous: *with* the "offset" option? [23:37] puff: Ideally, everything should work fine. [23:37] LjL: Okay,so should I antcipate problems in using an NTFS-formatted USB drive as a backup destination? [23:37] a-ha... that means with a javascript application [23:37] Guys, anybody can help with installing hidpoint???? [23:37] or flash [23:37] And does ubuntu support usb 2.0? [23:37] anybody familiar with awn-manager and do some basics? [23:37] Can anyone recommend good soundfonts for my SB Live! ? Unison.sf2 sounds terrible [23:37] puff: backup for what? it most likely won't preserve any permissions/ownership of files [23:37] Nobody able to support me on that? [23:37] hi tuxy [23:38] matreya6: soundfonts?? :| Use the pc! [23:38] puff: have you considered creating an archive (tarball) on that drive instead? [23:38] lspci | grep -i audio [23:38] sees the carb but still no sound any help would be appreciated [23:38] samples! [23:38] LjL, yes with the offset [23:38] LjL: That's fine, I'm just trying to pull my data off this dying drive before it dies. [23:38] what do you need to do with awn-manager [23:38] gamikage ok [23:38] puff: then it should do. [23:38] hey. Running Kubuntu Hardy on a Turion X2 64 mobile chipset, running the 32bit OS. What do i need to do to keep my fan from running full bore? THe fan runs constantly! [23:38] Here's a tip, don't drop your laptop on concrete from several feet up. [23:38] Spherous: try mounting the partition, with and without the offset [23:38] trece8, What do you mean by that? Soundfonts are required for HW MIDI synthesis [23:39] tuxy what do you need with awn-manager_ [23:39] ? [23:39] well... use software synthesis [23:39] gamikage, look at this... [23:39] one reason for the realtime kernel ;) [23:39] aja? [23:39] trece8, Timidity slurps up 80% CPU, no thanks Iĺl stick to my HW synthesis [23:39] trece8: I didnt say it wouldnt [23:39] could any one help me with getting web cam to work with chat room iam in ? i selected the permission to let it accept my web cam but when i say ok my web cam doesnt turn on..the web cam turns on with skype [23:39] apparently it does [23:39] hw synthesis tends to suck... [23:39] I just didnt really need realtime [23:40] sorry... but... [23:40] hello [23:40] it just is like a nintendo [23:40] elaborated nintendo [23:40] LjL, sudo mount -o loop /dev/sdb /mnt/somewhere Right?

[23:40] gamikage, wait [23:40] I did a dhclient eth1 from my ssh, now my connection is lost. Is this normal? [23:40] Or don't I have to do some ntfsmount or something like that? [23:40] trece8: Not on WinXP, it Doesn't. So if it works on WinXP, it should work even better on linux [23:40] ok tuxy [23:40] gamikage: how much RAM? === cs278 is now known as Guest86958 [23:41] 1 GB [23:41] greencookie: it likely changed the ip... [23:41] ubottu, bobertdos Hey gues [23:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:41] ubottu, bobertdos Hey guys [23:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:41] hj [23:41] gamikage: speed up in what way?

[23:42] nmap..hmm [23:42] REGISTER [23:42] Sebnaitsabes, i'm not interested in that [23:42] hey do you ever get an answer here?:) [23:42] ohhhh, you want to make your Ubuntu to look like Mac OS Leopard [23:42] redf1sh, you're saying I can find my computer's new ip address using nmap? is it windows app? im on windows [23:43] hello [23:43] greencookie: If you have access to the network and its not just a port forward. Could do an 'nmap -vv 192.168.1.0/24 -p 22' [23:43] greencookie: got a windows client yeah [23:43] give me a sec tuxy [23:43] i want to register:p i am a noob:p [23:43] gamikage, if you scroll down, you will see where it instructs to scroll down and activate the stacks applet [23:43] bobertdos, can you manually invoke firefox's install missing plugin wizard?

[23:44] Slade605: audacity [23:44] i got the same trouble a week ago doing the same [23:44] SebNaitsabes: Ok, I'll check it out [23:44] thanks guys, [23:44] !flash | marcin [23:44] marcin: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [23:44] tuxy let me see something there [23:44] gamikage, ok [23:44] Spherous: no, that would be mounting the *drive* again. /dev/sdb2 (assuming it's 2) [23:45] hey guys i need help to fully install my logitech mx 3200... [23:45] SebNaitsabes, any idea_ [23:46] ? [23:46] i tried to install hidpoints, but had the issue that the terminal wouldn't find the file... [23:46] Any ideas? [23:47] any ideas on how to fix the fan control for a Turion X2 64? [23:47] elian_: When you execute a bin file, you have to cd into the directory it's sitting in, and the type: sudo ./ [23:47] gamikage: with what? [23:47] bobertdos, did that, and for some reason it says the file cannot be found [23:47] What do I need to do to get my pci-e wireless realtek 8100 working? It looks like its getting loaded as 8169 but thats not apparently working. [23:47] i copied the name of the file precise (i.e. hidpoint1-0.bin [23:47] elian_: Did you cd into the right directory? [23:48] gamikage, i haven't told you what the problem is yet [23:48] cd ./desktop? [23:48] SebNaitsabes, with speeding up the whole system (screen, commands, etc.) [23:48] gamikage, :) [23:48] tell me tuxy [23:48] LjL, hmm, it is making noises from the drive, but not actually doing anything [23:48] something else to adding more RAM [23:48] Spherous: did it *say* anything? [23:48] gamikage, the database when you click on the applets tab says that you can activate the stacks applet, though it is not listed in the version that i have [23:49] Spherous: when commands don't say anything, it usually means they *succeeded*. or at least that they think they have. [23:49] elian_: cd Desktop, then sudo ./ [23:49] gamikage: no [23:49] LjL, no, doesn't say anything. Drive sounds like a sprinkler though, haha. It doesn't even regive me the line to type on [23:49] re-download it and let us see what happens tuxy [23:49] !grub>DasEi [23:49] DasEi, please see my private message [23:49] Ok, so I got audacity up, but am getting no audio when trying to play sutff [23:49] SebNaitSabes thanks [23:49] gamikage, i got the version that was downloaded by the apt-get by the url that was given in the document i think [23:49] Spherous: is there anything in /mnt/somewhere?

[23:51] i've been trying to get my zen x-fi hooked up to ubuntu through libmtp [23:51] ~/Desktop/*.bin [23:51] marcin: In firefox, if you type about:plugins, is flash or gnash listed there? [23:51] ok bobertdos, i think i got it [23:51] gone through all the forums. some people have had success, but i'm not really bale to get it working [23:51] dude you rule, nobody else was answering [23:51] i mount it with sudo mtpfs mountpint. then it says transport endpoint not connected when i tried to ls it [23:52] this is a tough OS [23:52] i used to type desktop [23:52] instead of Desktop :S [23:52] LjL, weird, ctrl C doesn't stop the terminal from trying to mount this thing [23:52] does anybody knows how to speed up ubuntu?? mine is running very slowly [23:52] gamikage hummm [23:52] 1GB RAM it should run pretty well [23:52] gamikage, do you have an old pc? [23:52] could be a sign to say your RAM is failing [23:52] i know.... [23:53] Spherous: that's not a good sign [23:53] elian_: Yeah, just remember that in Unix, everything is case-sensitive. [23:53] gamikage: install conky, have a look, also see !bum [23:53] !bum [23:53] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [23:53] i bought my pc last year [23:53] gamikage: have you got a swap partition at all? [23:53] LjL, I would assume not. but it just finished [23:53] what is a swap partition? [23:53] bobertdos, funny thig because it is there [23:53] hi, i just installed java6 jre,jdk and javacc as well as every suggested package on Ubuntu 8.04..... yet when i run javac to compile it tells me the command couldn't be found... if i manually export the java6 bin directory to $PATH then it works... but i have to export the path every single time log onto the machine... is there a permanent solution ? Thanks [23:53] anyone...? [23:53] !swap [23:53] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [23:53] LjL, failed [23:54] how do i execute a script as root? [23:54] brutus, run it under sudo [23:54] bobertdos, I have Shockwave Flash 10.0.0 d525 installed [23:54] brutus: sudo [23:54] where is ia32 libs reside after installing? [23:54] t2: you can add that dir to your path on ~/.bashrc [23:54] unop, Vi5in I have a script which outputs to a file... like myscript >> myfile [23:54] t2, you can adjust the PATH variable in ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile [23:54] bobertdos, hehh... it works now on youtube, but not support.dell.com guess because it's Flash 10 beta [23:55] LjL Gah, gotta go, maybe I'll be able to fix it later tonight or something [23:55] unop, Vi5in sudo stills complains permission denied [23:55] brutus, and you can't write to myfile?? [23:55] gamikage: pretty sure I have no swap and this PC is 1GB RAM, and everything runs rather well all the time, except for Firefox, which can go really slow etc [23:55] unop, nope === mike is now known as Guest58853 [23:55] hi [23:55] gamikage: but a swap partition might help you [23:55] valerie: hi [23:55] brutus, you need to use a workaround - yourscript | sudo tee -a myfile [23:55] Any one know of a good ID3 editor for MP3's I need to change a ton of them so they play in the right order in my palm pilot [23:55] bobertdos, damn Dell.... why would they make driver download page depend on flash [23:55] donavan_: easytag [23:55] marcin: You know, Dell probably doesn't recognize it because of the version number. The second release candidate is out now, you know. [23:55] donavan_: easytag [23:56] thanks [23:56] brutus: where is myfile? [23:56] brutus: the location [23:56] brutus, the reason is that bash is trying to open and write to myfile as you - not root - and if you don't have the permissions to create the file, bash will complain. [23:56] bobertdos, is that what I have? [23:56] hi all, finally got son convinced to dump windows after trojan problems etc. I have ubuntu on this machine but the graphics display is only 800 x 600 (need at least 1024 x 768) I am using the nvidia restricted drivers that are available for this graphics card. Screen resolution app wont let me choose above 800 x 600. Any suggestions? [23:56] bobertdos, or can I update? [23:56] how can i add two more desktops to my task bar. i have two but i want four?? [23:56] Dante123: backup xorg.conf.... [23:56] donavan_: when I think of MP3 editing I think of audacity [23:56] marcin: No, 525 is the second beta. I'd definitely recommend you update. [23:56] Also, I couldnt choose above 800 x 600 without the restricted driver either. [23:56] Guest39088, right click on the pager, add desktops, etc [23:57] Hi, I started to have problems with samba shares after installing wine. The shares would not mount but as soon as i delete wine its fine. What sseems to be the problem? [23:57] Dante123: "gksudo displayconfig-gtk" choose nvidia driver and the apropiate moinitro settings [23:57] Guest58853, ^^^ [23:57] DasEi was is the exact command from terminal [23:57] hi can someone give me a tutorial how to use air crack??i ve already installed it:Pkind regards [23:57] Dante123: ....install displayconfig-gtk and run it, choose your monitor [23:57] unop, erUSUL: problem is this is a linux server used by many people so i can't ask each person to modify their .bashrc... [23:57] has anybody been emulating project64? [23:57] bobertdos, do I need something in apt sources... cause apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't give me no updates [23:57] !air crack [23:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about air crack [23:57] t2, you can adjust the global config file then. /etc/profile [23:57] anyone... zen x-fi + ubuntu? [23:58] t2, or /etc/bash.bashrc depending [23:58] unop, thanks a lot! [23:58] t2: /etc/bash.bashrc ? [23:58] Dante123: open trml : sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_restricted [23:58] marcin: Did someone give you that version of flash in the past?
