[00:00] thank you . unop mind has not been working right lately. [00:00] * gmm46 needs help. [00:00] * gmm46 says his computer is slow. [00:00] * gmm46 wants to know how to make it run faster. [00:01] marcin: Wait, are you using Hardy Heron? [00:01] hello, How can I find out my MAC Address for my PC? [00:01] * gmm46 really needs help!!!!! [00:01] !ask|***gmm46 [00:01] ***gmm46: 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. :-) [00:01] unop: ok i see the /etc/bash.bashrc... could you please tell me how to add this ? can i simply paste the export line anywhere ? Also i need to do this for tcsh... will i also need to modify a global tcsh profile file ? [00:01] * eight thinks gmm46 talks like a moron [00:01] bobertdos, yes [00:01] marcin, *flush*-plugin? lol [00:02] No-one who knows if there is a program to tell me the battery status of my bluetooth mouse? [00:02] ***gmm46: your hw-specs ? [00:02] reya276: from terminal ifconfig will tell you. [00:02] eight : might be... [00:02] how do i figure out the hw-specs [00:02] matreya6, flash [00:02] redf1sh: you mean ipconfig [00:02] reya276: your the little networking applet on your panel, right click>connection information [00:02] i am a neeb when it comes to ubuntu so [00:02] matreya6, it's late [00:02] reya276: in linux its sure ifconfig, or iproute. [00:02] ***gmm46: lspci,lshw,hwinfo [00:02] gmm46, what do you have hardware-wise? [00:03] marcin: Interesting..........Well, it's up to you. The way to update would be to uninstall what you already have, and manually install the version from Adobe labs. Your decision... [00:03] redf1sh: thanks [00:03] t2, you need to adjust PATH in /etc/profile then - /etc/bash.bashrc is only for bash as you might know [00:03] bobertdos, I could do that [00:03] How can I change my wifi macid? I tried via "gnome-nettool" and it says that the interface might not be installed, but it is. [00:03] hang on [00:03] t2, a line like this would do. PATH="$PATH":/new/dir1:/new/dir2:etc [00:03] hello everyone [00:03] bobbob1016, but I don't know no more where is firefox's plugin folder [00:03] t2, actually. PATH="$PATH":/new/dir1:/new/dir2:etc; export PATH [00:04] bobertdos, ob1016, but I don't know no more where is firefox's plugin folder [00:04] hey i tried to open the cfdisk man but there says critical mistake: cannot access to the disk, any idea on how to fix this_ [00:04] ? [00:04] hi [00:04] marcin, I think you just typed that to the wrong person, just so you know [00:04] marcin, /usr/lib/firefox/plugins [00:04] bobbob1016, I know [00:04] gamikage, i got it [00:04] bobbob1016, sorry [00:04] hey val [00:04] hhhiiiiiiiiii [00:04] tuxy, you got what_ [00:04] ?

Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:05] marcin: and actually, if you use adobe's installer, you just have to give it /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3 [00:05] marcin, or /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ # which is better [00:05] gamikage, the problem finding the stack applet [00:05] !ot>valerie [00:05] valerie, please see my private message [00:05] 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? [00:05] it is supposed to be already on the program, it is the first one on applets [00:05] unop: ok so i'll add that line in /etc/profile and /etc/bash.bashrc.....this will completely over-ride the individual .bashrc's of each user ? what if they have made their own customizations ? [00:05] bobertdos, unop, I don;t think this is where the plugins are anymore [00:06] hey i tried to open the cfdisk man but there says critical mistake: cannot access to the disk, any idea on how to fix this_ [00:06] marcin, it's where I put plugins [00:06] bobertdos, unop all this folders are empty now... and I have some plugins installed [00:06] so what you should do is open awn/manager [00:06] t2, users can always override global defaults [00:06] again and then applets and it is supposed to be there [00:06] marcin: In a terminal, type locate libflashplayer.so [00:07] wheres the people who are ussually here === youri is now known as verus [00:07] SebNaitsabes, still there? [00:07] can anyone here help me with my sound card problem ?

[00:07] marcin, you probably installed plugins in the user plugins dir then. ~/.mozilla/plugins [00:08] unop: ok thanks [00:08] valerie: and differnet people here all the time, what do you want help with? [00:08] bobertdos, but I looked for java plugin and it is in /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.3/plugins [00:08] no [00:08] Is there anyway to track what people type through SSH in real time? [00:08] nvidia is giving my gray hair [00:08] whenever i go on its the same p[eople [00:08] SebNaitSabes, I am having a problem now, I cannot open my cfdisk man, it is saying that there is a critical mistake and that he disk unit cannot be opened [00:08] nevermind [00:08] bobertdos, no plugins in ~./mozilla [00:08] marcin: What do you get if you type Lsb_release -a? [00:09] valerie: ok what do you want help with? [00:09] marcin, try /usr/share/mozilla/plugins [00:09] marcin: lsb_release -a [00:09] gamikage: I don't know === failure is now known as charles [00:10] SebNaitsabes, thank you [00:10] After selecting nVidia from "hardware drivers" my xserver freezes on boot and i have to change "nvidia" to "nv" in the xorg.conf file... GeForce 6600 searched forums and tried it all... :-( [00:10] could anyone help me with getting my web cam to work on a web cam room in firefox?

[00:11] marcin: Okay, I was just checking because your file structure doesn't seem standard. [00:11] gamikage, are you sudo? [00:11] Shark_7-11:eve thought of installing """evil""" propitary driver from nv-HP ? [00:11] yes [00:11] bobertdos, since firefox 3 things changed [00:12] marcin: not for me [00:12] DasEi: ... err... say what? :-p [00:12] bobertdos, cause I had problems with java [00:12] bobertdos, but I don;t remember how I got it to work [00:12] i cant make a folder in Home!!!Could someone tell me how to do it? [00:12] Shark_7-11:check out the nvidia-homepage > linuxdriver [00:12] marcin, there is saying : critical mistake: cannot access to disk unit, press anything to continue [00:12] can anyone help me configure my touchscreen ? [00:12] DasEi: I just want 3d Acc. if that "evil" driver can do it/// tell me how !!! -p [00:12] DustBunn1: touchscreen hummmm [00:12] gamikage, trival question but are you doing it as root? [00:13] !nvidia>Shark7_11 [00:13] gamikage, sudo cfdisk /dev.... [00:13] @SebNaitsabes, running the HP IQ506 touchsmart pc [00:13] Shark_7-11:open a terminal ... [00:13] in one [00:13] Shark_7-11:32 or 64 bit ? [00:13] the touch screen works to some degree as it does detect touch just not movement [00:13] DustBenn1: got a feeling Linux does not have very good touchscreen suppourt at the moment, because the hardware makers can't be screwed to make a Linux driver for their touchscreen products, even with Windows, touchscreen technologey is pretty new it seems [00:13] DasEi: 64* [00:13] marcin: Alright, in Firefox, go into about:config. Find plugn.expose_full_path and enable it. I want to know where your plugins are actually sitting according to the browser. [00:13] marcin, please tell me how to get in as root [00:14] when is ubuntu 8.10 coming out? [00:14] marcin, mine is missing [00:14] sudo [00:14] gamikage, when in terminal type in sudo -s [00:14] Shark_7-11:live cd handy in case of x refusig to start ? [00:14] and does kubuntu 8.10 come out at the same time? [00:14] @SebNait, i'm aware, it's not so much drivers i need, it's just configuring it [00:14] gamikage, provide you password [00:14] gamikage, and you are root [00:14] @SebNait, the touch screen itself is working, just not properly configured [00:14] marcin thanks, now let me se [00:14] DasEi: Not realy, will start up in recovery mode (runlevel 1) and get backup of xorg.conf file :-p [00:14] gamikage, but be careful cause you can shoot you leg off [00:14] ja, ok [00:15] DustBunn1: hummmmmmmm you got to configure X for it or something? [00:15] Shark_7-11:k, so far you know, then do a backup of it now [00:15] tsrk, 8.10 --> 2008/10 [00:15] DasEi: Done... [00:15] @Seb, that's the problem, not not a big linux user, so i have no idea how to configure X [00:15] Shark_7-11:googling, brb [00:15] DustBunn1: ok well configuring X is a right pain in the arse for new Linux users [00:15] DasEi: Good luck.... i tried ... and got a lot of advice.... and here i am :-p [00:16] bobertdos, look at that: /var/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so [00:16] marcin, it is saying that the disk is only readable even at root, that cannot be written, and then the bull.... of critical erro] [00:16] Shark_7-11:http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/173.14.12/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.12-pkg2.run [00:16] @Seb, i checked online for a solution and i came across the evdriver and some example configs for the xorg.conf file [00:16] gamikage, you might be trying to access a cdrom drive [00:16] DasEi: I think i have tha allready hold on [00:16] @Seb but i have no idea how to use that example in my case xD [00:16] marcin: OHH! You're running 64-bit, that's why everything is seeming so weird. [00:16] BlackDesign, I know it's this month but what day is it? [00:17] Shark_7-11:dld it to desktop, else [00:17] marcin, cfdisk? when trying to make a swap partition [00:17] DasEi: shoul i remobre nvidia-glx-new fort though? [00:17] ?? [00:17] bobertdos, yes [00:17] DasEi: First* [00:17] DustBunn1: I guess it's like edit the x config file with that, restart X and hope it works or something, but it's probably not as simple as that [00:17] 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? [00:17] Shark_7-11:hm, if the installe recognizes your x-server, it shall modify xorg.conf by itself, so no [00:17] how do i force install a package [00:18] gamikage, you don;t have a swap partition? [00:18] even if it claims it is broken [00:18] DasEi: I have driver v 177.13 [00:18] DustBunn1: you can try this channel as well #linux also your issue is probably not really that distro specific [00:18] marcin: Just for future reference, be sure to tell us right away when you're running 64-bit, because it completely changes the approach to some things, especially plugins. [00:18] does not let me see that even [00:18] Shark_7-11:but as I don't know what you've tried.. worst got a backup [00:18] i have installed libmtp from source [00:18] DasEi: Opose to the 173.14.12 one you meantioned... [00:18] bobertdos, sorry.... I will, fell out of me head [00:18] and it is version 0.3.3 [00:18] trying to install mtp-tools [00:18] @Seb, yea, thanks, but the linux community has already deemed the HP IQ506 pc as non-ubuntu friendly so I doubt anyone will even try to help me [00:18] DasEi: k no worries [00:18] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [00:18] mtp-tools: Depends: libmtp7 (= 0.2.6.1-2ubuntu1) but 0.3.3-1 is to be installed [00:18] E: Broken packages [00:19] gamikage, did you try fdisk? [00:19] how do i force it to install? [00:19] Vi5in: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:19] DustBunn1: I see [00:19] gamikage, what do you exactly type in the terminal === Guest7283 is now known as mynameistux [00:19] DustBunn1: it says it does not work with Ubuntu? [00:19] is there an issue with the 2.6.24 kernel and the e100 driver? I'm getting this error in dmesg e100: probe of 0000:02:03.0 failed with error -11 [00:19] Shark_7-11:did you fetch a newer package from elsewhere ? ran the firmware-installer ? [00:19] did*, damn [00:19] bobertdos, kudos for figuring out 64bit by plugin location.... wow [00:19] bobertdos, you good... you :) [00:19] @Seb, my search on google returned countless threads and such saying isntalling ubuntu or any linux distro on this PC is a dead end atm [00:20] ,but you have done it? [00:20] @Seb, while i don't totally agree, they aren't totally wrong either [00:20] DasEi: No from nvidia today [00:20] anyone? [00:20] ok so you got hardware that is not really Linux compatible? [00:20] Shark_7-11:lets give it a try then [00:20] @Seb, of course, ubuntu doesn't make it anywhere unless someone tries something new right ? [00:20] DasEi: Said i dont have libc header files (installed the build-esentials pakcage) [00:20] marcin, yes, i typed sudo fdisk -1 [00:20] Shark_7-11:dld driver to desktop... [00:20] dld* [00:20] DasEi: k hang on, i need to stop my xserver [00:21] gamikage, and that gives you critical error? [00:21] marcin: Okay, well, I know that nspluginwrapper can be manually invoked in the terminal, so what you would have to do is purge the version you have, get the latest version from adobe labs, and apply nspluginwrapper to it yourself. I myself run 32-bit, so that's the extent of what I know about the process. We've got a separate factoid on flash for 64. Have you read it? [00:21] !flash64 | marcin [00:21] marcin: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava === shark711 is now known as Shark_7-11 [00:22] k cool in irssi termina [00:22] no, that is not the problem, it happens when i try to cfdisk [00:22] marcin, no, that is not the problem, it happens when i try to cfdisk [00:22] marcin: I imagine at least some part of that is still applicable to flash 10, but yeah, that's essentially what you would have to do. [00:22] bobertdos, no... haven't will do right away [00:23] bobertdos, thanks bobertdos [00:23] gamikage, what exactly did you type [00:23]  Shark_7-11: I see, so first: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [00:23] marcin: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [00:23] DasEi: k sais no precompiled version is avil [00:23] bobertdos, will give it a try [00:23] DasEi: Available* [00:24] algum brasileiro ?

[00:24] gamikage, cfdisk -1... there is no such option [00:25] Got to sleep right now, thanks for the help and being part of the community [00:25]  Shark_7-11: ...you go on your own, kk [00:25] thebigkick: the factoid trigger for the Brazillian/Portuguese channel [00:25] bye everyone, see you soon.

[00:26] bobertdos, I"ll wrap it nice and neet and put under the Christmas tree ...:) [00:26] DasEi: O.o oh ok then :-) [00:26] anybody a ubuntu guru that can help me with a problem im having?

[00:30] gamikage, you would probably want cfdisk /dev/sda [00:30] DasEi: Yes i have backups.. if all else fails i will reinstall :-p [00:30]  Shark_7-11: the one you just ran [00:30] marcin, thaks [00:30] hi i have a d-link dwa 642 pci card, and i was using ndiswrapper to work with it and it worked fine yesterday all day. Now when i logged in, it is not working. I am extremely frustrated and would like hel [00:30] p [00:30] DasEi: Downloaded it today [00:31] DasEi: And it downloaded something to compile too so i assume it is up to date [00:31] DasEi: I gonne start my xserver :-) [00:31] i just got hardy setup. i created one account (administrator) named 'keenscreen'. so i'm using these for work and we'll have one person per machine using each box. should i create a separate account for each user? or is it ok to just use keenscreen for each box (both users are named keenscreen)? also is it possible to change the name of a given account once it's already created? i could for instance change 'keenscreen' => username. [00:31] gamikage, to enable swap partition: swapon /dev/your_swap_partition [00:31]  Shark_7-11: ... [00:32] DasEi: Ubuntui is running in low graphics mode... well that at least beats the black screen i used to get [00:32]  Shark_7-11: no option to configure ? [00:32] DasEi: Yes there is.... should i selevt the nvdia driver, it is on vesa now [00:32] hi i have a d-link dwa 642 pci card, and i was using ndiswrapper to work with it and it worked fine yesterday all day. Now when i logged in, it is not working. I am extremely frustrated and would like help [00:33] DasEi: Select* [00:33]  Shark_7-11: leave driver untouched, but configure monitor [00:33] I find compiz tends to not work well with totem video player - is there any convenient way to suppress compiz whilst a video player is running? [00:33] DasEi: oh ok... [00:33] or otherwise some way to turn it off and on without losing settings? [00:33]  Shark_7-11:find your model (moni ?) [00:34] keenscreen: I personally would create separate accounts for each user. Even though it might be possible to change the name after the fact, it would be risky -- a good way to accidentally break the system. [00:34] DasEi: Err no... not yet [00:34] after upgrade from 7.04 to 8.04, lost scim chinese input ? any idea howto enable it ? [00:34] DasEi: it is on plug and play nopw [00:34]  Shark_7-11:I mean choose by manufacturer [00:34] keenscreen: you can easily create another account for each box that would represent the user on that box.. the administrator account I don't think you want to give to your average user.. [00:34] DasEi: no not there... i have prestigo LCD screen [00:35]  Shark_7-11:I see, change matching lcd screen then [00:35] keenscreen: when creating a user account you will be able to give them access to only what you want to let them have access to. [00:35] Scunizi, they are developers i want them to have a lot of access [00:35] keenscreen: then make them admins but use different login creds for each user.. [00:36] DasEi: Err... Not sure what would be a good match [00:36] keenscreen: or not.. [00:36]  Shark_7-11:Is it one of these 22'' monsters ? [00:37] DasEi: monster, well :-) not really... think it is a 17" [00:37] DasEi: I'm metric so i guess bout 17" yeah [00:38] DasEi: Selected a generic LCD screen [00:38] Scunizi, should the developer who has lot of access an admin [00:38] DasEi: I have option to test [00:38] keenscreen: if each box has the same account it might make it more difficult to admin the boxes. confusion will abound.. "lets see is that keenscreen on the back desk or the one in the front or middle.." if you get my drift. [00:38] I am getting this error can anyone explain why? http://pastebin.com/m7f70ba1d [00:38]  Shark_7-11:right, if you don't need higher 1024x768 won't do harm [00:38] DasEi: k cool, let me test the bugger [00:38]  Shark_7-11:test might not work, as the gtk uses wrong driver [00:39] Scunizi, should i delete the keenscreen account? [00:39]  Shark_7-11:but try, its coming back itself [00:39] DasEi: K test passed but the graphic card says vesa (not nvidia) [00:40] keenscreen: not really sure on this one.. a "user/guest" should be able to develop and compile within their account. But to make system wide changes takes admin priv.. you could leave the account and create another or create another THEN delete the keenscreen account.

[01:27] NiCK_NaME: usually it's mounted under /media/cdrom or similar [01:27] DasEi: What you mean? within the xserver (gnome) ?

[01:30]  Shark_7-11:  driver in xorg ? [01:30] hey anyone here know how to fix the grub bug when installing from USB? [01:30] unop: yes, there are tons of I/O errors - I think on an uncleanly unmounted usb thumb drive [01:31] qfour21: i can use the gui instead of command lines right ? I.E. Places>Computer>Filesystem>Media> (make a new folder and mount a USB HD from that in stead of using command lines like mkdir dev/ect...ect...ect... right ? [01:31] DasEi: "nvidia" [01:31] NiCK_NaME: yeah *if* the automount figures things out correctly [01:32] DasEi: let me try something (going to select nvidia from the config where it says vesa now) === Kabaka[A] is now known as Kabaka [01:32] need hacker on steroid help for audio problems, reward : 12 GB of good stuff [01:32] qfour21: hmmmm and how would it do that ? [01:32] DasEi: Mmm test fails [01:33] qfour21: cross my fingers and pray ? [01:33] NiCK_NaME: I'm not an expert on such things, but ubuntu has daemons that monitor for any removable storage media and automatically mount it. [01:33] Hello, does anyone know the possibilities of scanning for proxies on a Linux i686 Ubuntu 8.04 machine? [01:33] can someone help me mount a working usb (fat) hard drive? [01:33] bziobnic, right, that's what i thought - if it's indeed due to a unclean dismount - the best way is to reboot and then check the disk out (or step into runlevel 1 and dismount everything and carry out and fsck) [01:33] NiCK_NaME: sadly, yeah. I usually mount stuff manually. [01:33] tim: maybe. [01:33] qfour21: i soooo totally dont get linux dude its like WOW a whole new world to me... [01:33] unop: thanks [01:33] !vfat > tim [01:33] tim, please see my private message [01:33] DasEi: whatis the major diffrence between nvidia-glx -glx-new and -glx-legacy ? [01:34] NiCK_NaME: it's a little bit different. [01:34] qfour21: how can i learn to do that *mount stuff manually* is their something i can read or anything ? a document i can download off line, some thing easy yo read ? [01:34] bziobnic, but i should think this is more than just a problem with an unclean dismount - reboot and monitor /var/log/{dmesg,debug} for sometime. [01:35] NiCK_NaME: also, if a usb device doesn't mount properly, sometimes you can unplug it and plug it in again and it'll be recognized. [01:35] Does anyone know the possibilities of scanning for proxies on a Linux i686 Ubuntu 8.04 machine? [01:35] ya ya, mounts like a sd, except it doesn't. [01:35] qfour21: i totally dig this so much i compleatly deleted windows 3 days ago and i just DOVE into this... i gotta learn it some how...

This was a usb thumb drive that I inadvertently pulled out without unmounting. What stinks is that gedit is using 100% of one of my cores trying to read a file off of this drive and I've got another long running process that I really don't want to kill by rebooting [01:37] Can someone assist me with detecting any possible problems with my external Harddisk? It seemd when I try to write to it, it fails after about 2gb. It doesnt show any errors, just seems to hang like its writing, but doesnt move at all.

[02:51] azureus works fine for me... it's not azureus problem btw [02:51] bobertdos, thanks. now , yu know what is happening at #azureus-support? No one chats there! Something wrong with vuze?

[02:54] well.. my most recent problem is pandora.com... seems to not be playing any sound at all [02:54] bobertdos, Why I am worried about 8.10 upgrade is, i dont want to loose settings by a clean install. Is it possible to transfer all audio/display settings in a clean install? [02:54] jorge__: yeah, you know, the physical medium that connects you TO the WAN? is it loose or anything like that? [02:54] I've recently uninstalled some of the evolution packages and installed azureus... other than that should be workin [02:54] !samba | techsupport [02:54] techsupport: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

For experience [02:55] danbh_intrepid, thanks [02:55] for bittorrent [02:55] Jordan_U: oh, oops, sorry ksbalaji_ I was wrong [02:55] the thing is that only client is over wan, server is wired, and i have great ping [02:56] Gnea: [02:56] that option is set for me but isn't working [02:56] ksbalaji_: Well, I suspect it may make a mess to directly replace the files in Intrepid, but you could always copy your xorg.conf and ALSA config files so that you can just look at them for reference. [02:56] i don't understand intrepid is still i386 [02:56] danbh_intrepid, ? what then? [02:56] i386 for what?! [02:56] jorge__: you may find better help in #networking [02:56] zorry i have any problems with the englis lengage [02:56] make i686 binaries, this i386 stuff is outdated [02:56] how to get firefox running java?

[02:57] thanks gnea [02:57] about the binary distribution [02:57] alteregoa: the kernel? [02:57] so whats going on with ff 3.0.3 thats messing with flash? [02:57] Gnea: its not a networking problem, cause putty connects and wireing the laptops also makes the problem disappear, my guess is configs [02:57] Hey! It took almost a month to get my Hardy settings satifactory. I do not want to undergo the same struggle with 8.10 -shudder. [02:57] its still a i386 distro, not further optimized for i686 [02:57] what again was the cmd to show a files permission ? [02:57] nobody? [02:58] DasEi, ; ls -l or ls -la [02:58] DasEi: or stat -c %a [02:58] jorge__: if your ssh connection is lagging, then obviously it's a networking problem. if it's configs, then why are you asking about it instead of reading the manpage for sshd_config and experimenting? [02:59] jorge__: Is it "freezing" after long periods of no use? [02:59] ls- l , thx [02:59] try to enable tcpkeepalives in the config === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:00] Now I hope 8.10 supports a nice upgrade! thanks friends.

[03:00] Gnea: it doesnt lag it just stops after "ok ack" of my key or pass it never shows the remote command line [03:00] Jordan_U: no jordan [03:00] Jordan_U: i never get to the "use" part [03:00] jorge__: and how long does it stop before you kill it? [03:00] hi guys... i constantly find that the audio in my Hardy stops .... then when i TEST the sound settings i get this error >>>>audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application.<<< then i change the alsa / pulse audio to pulse/alsa ...and sound is back... why do i keep this errors? [03:00] ksbalaji_: Well, if you don't want to upgrade, you certainly don't have to. After all, Hardy is the second LTS release. [03:01] i686 kernel at least please [03:01] hello there [03:01] hector, the worst thing is nowadays there is not much response in azureus-support channel. [03:01] no more than 2 mins, 120 secs according to my guess with the sshd_config in other config files i have been looking [03:01] does anyone know how to lock your mouse to a window (like a game window) to keep it from drifting off screen and preventing proper game play? game is Mount and Blade run from wine - winecfg option does not fix the problem [03:01] alteregoa: The linux kernel loads i686 optimizations at run time [03:01] Gnea: [03:01] !generic | alteregoa [03:01] alteregoa: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) [03:02] whats that like pastebin thing? [03:02] can someone link me [03:02] jorge__: have you tried increasing the priority of ssh traffic over others? [03:02] so i can past somethin [03:02] no results whatsoever [03:02] ! pastebin | firestorm [03:02] firestorm: 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) [03:02] seems I have java, but firefox still not running a java app? how to configure forefox?

[03:03] Gnea: no, previous answer was not for your q. [03:03] threedee: Did you install the sun-java6-plugin? [03:03] jorge__: oh ok. [03:03] vermicelli [03:03] anybody has experienced a bug with the krb5 libs using the needchange attribute in kerberos MIT [03:03] ? [03:03] Gnea: what do you suggest? [03:03] how can i configure network connections between ubuntu server 8.04 and windows server 2003 ? [03:03] i get this error when trying to use yum [03:03] bobert - one second [03:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/53047/ [03:04] jorge__: you should increase the priority of ssh traffic over others. #networking and #iptables would be able to help you out there [03:04] gbear14275: Well the problem varies in nature, but for flash 9, the issue is usually that libflashsupport destabilizes the browswer. [03:04] jorge__: either with traffic shaping or tc [03:04] alteregoa: Please read the rationale, and it's not some ubuntu-specific hack, the vanilla kernel has been able to do this for ages now [03:04] hi guys... i constantly find that the audio in my Hardy stops .... then when i TEST the sound settings i get this error >>>>audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application.<<< then i change the alsa / pulse audio to pulse/alsa ...and sound is back... why do i keep this errors? [03:04] macv1: try upgrading to intrepid [03:04] anybody has experienced a bug with the krb5 libs using the needchange attribute in kerberos MIT? [03:04] i find running a killall pulseaudio helps [03:04] how do i ensure that i can connect to my ubuntu hardy box via ssh? [03:05] my yum doesnt work [03:05] macv1: pulseaudio needs to be stopped. [03:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/53047/ [03:05] hi [03:05] dandh> i hear that interpid has wireless problems? [03:05] whaetver, i just see the gtk+ is damn slow, for unknow reasons [03:05] gnea> how? [03:05] macv1 [03:05] I've been having something like that happen too [03:05] macv1: remove it from startup [03:05] Gnea: Could it be some sort of routing problem, i think the router is receiving server response but it is not forwarding it to me correctly, wireshark observation [03:05] Gnea: ? [03:05] well i try the intrepid, and see if the new timer works better [03:05] is it when you're using flash and a media player? [03:05] I have a plugin called GCJ [03:05] jorge__: this goes beyond routing [03:05] Hello, I am new to this. I am looking for the edubuntu support channel. Does anyone know how I can change channels? [03:06] macv1: intrepid is not ready for release. Wait until 30th October if you don't have the time (or ability) to solve much bigger problems than sound [03:06] alteregoa: Driver problems possibly? ( lack of acceleration ) [03:06] hello [03:06] Gnea: any other sources i might find helpfull? [03:06] gnea> did tht but ... will i have sound on strtup? [03:06] edubuntufan: /join #edubuntu [03:06] bobertdos: I have GCJ [03:07] Gnea: irc? [03:07] Hello, I am looking for the source code for /lib/libcrypt.* (afaik this is not the libcrypto package that goes into /usr/lib). Can anyone tell me wher ei can find the source code for this? [03:07] macv1: just don't use pulseaudio, use alsa directly - you should [03:07] carandraung> ya... thats wht i'm waiting for... thanx for the heads up [03:07] i want to delete a line from my fstab file can this be done safely without harm? [03:07] says its enabled too [03:07] threedee: You're not going to be able to run most web apps with that. You'll need sun-java6-plugin from the repos. [03:07] LaQuirrELL: depends on the line [03:07] jorge__: as I already stated: #networking and #iptables (use /join #networking) [03:08] bobertdos: apt-get install sun-java6-plugin? [03:08] gnea> but this error occurs event with alsa... i just keep switching between alsa/ pulse [03:08] LaQuirrELL: pastebin "cat /etc/fstab" and point the lime you want to remove [03:08] How do I edit files on my hard drive from the Live CD? [03:08] macv1: yes, and switching between the 2 is bad. stick with one or the other. i've found that pulseaudio causes more problems than it solves. [03:08] threedee: yes [03:09] bobertdos: computer says "sun-java6-plugin is already the newest version." [03:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/53047/ [03:09] gnea> i dont find alsa in my startup .... should i add it? [03:09] macv1: no, not alsa - pulseaudio [03:09] threedee: What browser are you using? [03:09] bobertdos: firefox 3.0.1 [03:10] gnea>? no, not alsa - pulseaudio??? i didnt understand [03:10] bobertdos: system is fairly up to date [03:10] threedee: Ubuntu's version or Mozilla's? [03:10] macv1: *sigh* disable pulseaudio, stick with alsa. [03:10] sry carandraug am not on that machine but in the fstab file i have 2 listings for the same drive i.e. sdc1 [03:10] looks like Mozillas [03:10] tuananh_coltech2005 [03:10] Can someone please tell me how to mount my hard drive from the live cd? I need to edit files to get my computer working again. [03:11] threedee: installed to /opt? [03:11] carandraug sdc1 shows twice [03:11] gnea> ya... i'v disabled pulse in startup/sound settings... is there any where else that i need to disable it ? [03:11] bobertdos: I dont have a /opt [03:11] LaQuirrELL: like this? http://pastebin.com/m340162b [03:12] bobertdos: rather, its empty [03:12] i get this error when trying to use YUM http://paste.ubuntu.com/53047/ [03:12] macv1: just to be sure, open a terminal and type: sudo update-rc.d -f pulseaudio remove [03:12] yum? suse ? firestorm [03:12] so what's up with the nvidia drivers not working in intrepid? [03:12] I have a problem w/ a USB device, a Lexicon Omega, in that the system log shows the usb device is being plugged in and out, but alsa isn't picking it up, i.e. it doesn't show up in cat /proc/asoun/cards... any help? [03:12] gnea> will alsa handle playing sounds from dual apps? [03:12] threedee: Okay, well, when you type about:plugins into firefox, does it show either the Java plugin or GCJ? [03:12] trojatra: What device? [03:12] macv1: if your soundcard is full-duplex, yes [03:13] so what's up with the nvidia drivers not working in intrepid? it was working fine in hardy...

[03:14] bobertdos: (using iced tea) FWIW [03:14] LaQuirrELL: well, if both point out to the same path and have the same options, it should be safe to delete one of them. Maybe one is a old one that you formatted some time ago. Anyway, I would recommend in switching to UUID instead of paths [03:14] Jordan_U: nope. Saying /dev/sda3 doesn't exist. Only sda1(/boot) and sda2 (swap) [03:15] macv1: Just type it into the terminal or the run menu (Ctrl+F2) [03:15] firestorm: yes, there is yum for ubuntu - but it shouldn't be relied upon for system stability, just for installing RPM packages that do not have ubuntu-counterparts [03:15] trojatra: Can you pastebin the output from "sudo fdisk -l" ?

[05:05] bobertdos: well actually its not a big problem for me but sometime i use root account to change some files on filesystem and with this its kinda disturb me. Thanks anyway :D [05:05] test: First of all, Ubuntu doesn't allow you to log in to X as root. The account is locked by default. If you need to, you can manually delete things from the trash. [05:05] usser : its IDE and it is detected by the bios, even my keyboard shortcut for ejecting the drive works. [05:06] jf13: definitely [05:06] I had my T42 Ubuntu 8.04.1 in a local computer club.

[05:08] bjb1959: have you tried booting in safe graphics mode? [05:08] ohhh ya bobertdos do you know which command that can give an emblem to folder or files? [05:08] Shak--, backports is pretty stable for me on 2.6.24-19 kernel [05:09] I'm using SELECT artist.name, album.name FROM album, artist, tags WHERE album.id = tags.album AND artist.id = tags.artist GROUP BY artist.name, album.name ORDER BY artist.name [05:09] usser : you want me to pastebin it ? [05:09] usser: im on 2.6.25.10, is backports a package in apt? [05:09] to export my Amarok artists and albums together [05:09] No audio in flash, have libflashsupport installed, any suggestions? [05:09] but I need to get it into a text file [05:09] bobertdos, about 1/2 way through the boot process then it drops to the busybox shell [05:09] test: I don't know a command for that, but you can do it under the folder or file's properties, graphically. [05:10] bjb1959: Of the live cd? [05:10] Shak--, 2.6.25? are u on intrepid? [05:10] ohhh [05:10] hmm got it [05:10] usser : here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/m1a096093 [05:10] abe3k, try to mount it manually sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt -o loop [05:10] usser: no I manually upgraded (tinkering with iwlwifi required it) [05:10] usser: so im hardy [05:10] *on [05:10] usser : ok will do [05:10] Hi, I mistyped a command and ran it in the wrong directory. Can someone tell me what the mistyped command did exactly? [05:11] Shak--, hm forget about backports then its for stock kernel only [05:11] hosstest: I just sent jf13 on the quest for flash 10. I offer you the same option, if you wish. [05:11] ah ok [05:11] bobertdos, yes. I have tried pclinuxos 2008 livecd and get same thing. the alternate install won't work either [05:11] usser : "/dev/scd0: No medium found" [05:11] slagpit, depends on what the miss typed command was [05:11] the mistyped command was "sudo chmod -x +777 /*/*" [05:11] usser: but this is fine now, for some reason I kept getting kernel panics with that other module I compiled, and they increased in frequency over time [05:12] bobertdos: are you suggesting that flash 10 is the resolve? And if so where can I get it? [05:12] bjb1959: Goll, you know, this has been happening to a lot of people ever since hardy came around. I have no idea why. [05:12] HELP: I'm having trouble with disk space -- applications are complaining of no space on device. How do i start the investigation process !!??? [05:12] abe3k: is there a disk in it to mount?

[05:12] Shak--, yep same problem for me here panics with the newer kernel [05:12] mefisto__ : yes [05:12] but why would it happen with pclinux0s 2008 which is Mandriva?? they have nothing to do with hardy [05:12] Shak--, also heavy cpu usage when connecting to networks to the point where computer becomes unusable [05:13] Shak--, many ppl report that [05:13] Anyone? Once again, what's the fix for this error: [05:13] abe3k, hm weird... ls /dev/dvd* [05:13] E: /var/cache/apt/archives/samba_3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.5_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 102 [05:13] Can anyone tell me where php.ini is usually on ubuntu? [05:13] usser: Im not sure if its the newer kernel or that specific wifi module, because if I used the machine with networking disabled it never paniced [05:13] here is a odd ? the term app mpg123 is there a way to set the volume for that. Like a separate volume control from the main volume. [05:13] hosstest: The first thing I tell people is to purge flash 9 and libflashsupport. Flash 10 can then be found at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [05:13] usser : "ls: cannot access /dev/dvd*: No such file or directory" [05:13] how to make irssi seperate nicknames from the chat text [05:13] Shak--, i suggest go back to hardy stock kernel 2.6.24-19 and install backports module [05:14] Can anyone tell me where PHP.INI is located on ubuntu?

[05:20] i get W: A error occurred during the signature verification. [05:20] ussr [05:20] r00tintheb0x: yes, I am serious [05:20] usser: "ping 72.14.207.99" functions. [05:20] slagpit, what would possess you to run something like that... [05:21] bullgard4, so you dont get the correct dns server [05:21] bobertdos, it says: shockwave flash 9.4 r124 [05:21] the same thing that posses people to have accidents [05:21] rawr [05:21] *possesses [05:21] sdwrage : you there? [05:21] eligos: Do you have libflashsupport installed? [05:21] slagpit, when you do a "ls -al /" are all your directories there with permissions "drwxrwxrwx"? [05:21] slagpit: so what did you WANT to do? [05:22] bullgard4, do sudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [05:22] brb [05:22] is there any gui's for apache? [05:22] sdwrage: /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini [05:22] usser: I agree. But the other laptop in my LAN gets the correct DNS server. [05:22] adjioev, I hear that happens because alsa can't work with two different progrmas at the same time, but my problem is firefox actually crashes when I load another video [05:22] if I try to boot ubuntu I get a busybox shell (guessing grub got destroyed) [05:22] mefisto__: why does that matter? [05:22] bullgard4, still lets try a public dns why not? [05:22] usser: I do use fixed addresses in my LAN, no DHCP. [05:22] bullgard4, oh even better [05:23] bobertdos, yes, it's already at it's newest version according to my console [05:23] bullgard4, sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf and add nameserver 4.2.2.1 comment out all other nameservers [05:23] some reason I'll get logged out and taken back to the gdm screen. any ideas? [05:24] usser : maybe I have to restart [05:24] like X is crashing or something [05:24] abe3k, try it [05:24] usser : ok [05:24] eligos: I hate to keep suggesting flash 10 to people, but that's what I've been doing. It's pretty stable now (especially with FF 3.03 out now), and it doesn't need libflashsupport. libflashsupport is actually the unstable part of it all. [05:25] Anyone available to answer a package management question? === dmsuperman_ is now known as dmsuperman === Indoctrine is now known as Doc|Afk [05:25] bobertdos, you mean to install flash from the adobe website directly? [05:25] How can I run fsck on /? [05:26] eligos: Well, yeah, flash 10 is in RC2 status right now. It's in their labs. [05:26] how to do i add myself into this group? "www-data" ??? [05:26] !fsck | dmsuperman I think this is it [05:26] dmsuperman I think this is it: 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 [05:26] adityag: adduser [05:26] danbh_intrepid: I know how to fsck, I want to know how to / I can't run it on mounted filesystems and I can't start linux without mounting it [05:27] usser: I have edited " sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf" and put in that file " nameserver 4.2.2.1" (This file was empty.) [05:27] usser: What should I do now? [05:27] im using gnome-main-menu like opensuse menu, and i dont see a tab showing other applications but favourite apps... any idea how to have that tab to change between other apps?? [05:27] dmsuperman: from the message that ubottu just sent you, to the whole room: The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check [05:27] bullgard4, cool sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [05:27] any reason why gnome-system-monitor show drstically different memory usage than snmp/free, i.e 380Mb vs 1.93Gb out of 2Gb ? [05:27] anyone know what the deal is with support for XMMS ? [05:28] curz0r, its been dropped [05:28] curz0r, xmms is horribly outdated [05:28] !audacious | curz0r [05:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about audacious [05:28] !info audacious | curz0r [05:28] !xmms [05:28] curz0r: audacious (source: audacious): small and fast audio player which supports lots of formats.

[05:28] I'm not going to run a music player through wine.. that's silly. [05:29] hey all, quick question, how do you set which user something runs as in a script (and does it use that users environment variables and such) [05:29] zeus, userrights [05:29] hi [05:29] hi kaushal [05:29] wheres the offtopic help [05:29] abchirk, hi [05:29] chown -R user:user /folderpath/ [05:29] !ot | shogran [05:29] shogran: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[05:30] curz0r, hm, well i suppose you can compile xmms it requires some old packages but i remember i managed to do it at some point [05:30] !fsck [05:30] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly.

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 [05:30] alteregoa, 200GB [05:30] r00tintheb0x: if I try to boot into ubuntu I get a busybox shell (guessing grub got messed up) [05:30] yes abchirk /root/bin/xmlripper [05:30]  i want to list all the users in www-data group [05:30] does it need to have the .sh extension?

[05:31] does "ls -al /" return all your directories with permissions of "drwxrwxrwx" or something like that? [05:31] Joaquinm: LOLS [05:31] curz0r, first link on google http://blog.sartek.net/2008/04/install-xmms-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html [05:31] bullgard4, drop www [05:31] =curz0r= is really imperative for you tu use xmms ?

[05:44] bullgard4, remove all those and add dns's i gave you earlier and search domains just add anything: workgroup for example [05:45] How do I access an inaccessible file due to I/O error? [05:45] the problem is the sound not just the browser [05:45] hi fdisk and df -h are giving me different reports of my system file sizes.

[05:46] savage--: well they may need it somewhere else [05:46] i have it set to alsa shogran..but ive tried all of them...i can even make beeps or any sort of test noise [05:46] jim_p, do you have that in /usr/lib32? [05:47] Jenny: damn... what soundcard are you using?

[05:48] can any one help me here [05:48] savage--: what are you doing moving system files like that? [05:48] firestorm: do you use samba? [05:48] bullgard4, thats from a company called opendns that provides publicly accesible dns servers === dmsuperman_ is now known as dmsuperman [05:48] usser: I do not understand your message: " remove all those and add dns's i gave you earlier and search domains just add anything: workgroup for example." [05:48] default ubuntu 8.4 [05:48] so like i screwed up my apt-get packages somehow, like, mplayer is installed but libavcodec isnt, and i manually install the dependency for libavcodec which then makes apt-get uninstall mplayer since it depends on that but it wasnt installed and it just realized that [05:48] im gonna say ya [05:48] jenny: lspci -v may help you find it [05:48] hello people.can someone help me with this please? how can i configure my 3D aceleration? [05:48] so how do i fix it [05:49] jim_p, is there a way I can restore the /usr/lib32/ directory to how it was before when I first installed 8.04? [05:49] tritium...i remember someone told me some other command. [05:49] bullgard4, in the DNS tab under DNS servers remove whatever is there and add 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 [05:49] savage--: the whole directory? no [05:49] a short comman like that one [05:49] The search domains alien.c-base.org, cbrp3-base.org, c-base.org are from my local computer club, and I am now at home. [05:49] bullgard4, under search domains add workgroup [05:50] hmmm... [05:50] savage--: ? [05:50] bullgard4, right it happened because you set the ip manually, those settings are usually obtained from dhcp server [05:50] tritium, I accidentally copied /lib into /usr/lib32 [05:50] i rmember someone told me what to type to find it...it listed a bunch of things but i found it ... [05:50] bullgard4, since you dont use dhcp at home they didnt get updated [05:50] usser: I have done " in the DNS tab under DNS servers remove whatever is there and add 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220." [05:51] tritium, so then I just did a find for the most recently modified files (to find the ones I copied over) and then removed them. [05:51] bullgard4, and so you are unable to resolve domain names because the dns server from computer club cannot be contacted [05:51] bullgard4, cool [05:51] tritium, and now it seems that certain things aren't behaving properly [05:51] so ya why cant i see my windows shares on my pc, other xp machines have no problem seeing them, and my linux can see hte other machines shares fine [05:51] savage--: if you must, reinstall, libgcc1 [05:51] bullgard4, under search domains remove everything and add workgroup [05:51] tritium, ok let me try that... can I do it via apt-get? [05:51] savage--: yes: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgcc1 [05:52] savage--: note that you need that file at /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 [05:52] (where the package provides it) [05:52] usser: I have done " under search domains remove everything and add workgroup" [05:52] bullgard4, cool now close network manager and try ping google.com [05:52] tritium, ok it's there.... and I tried running the program again but I still get error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [05:52] tritium, is a reboot required? [05:52] Anyone here have able to access a windows network share from hardy? If so, how? [05:52] does antyone know the command to get my audio cards or driver to be displayed???? [05:53] Thanatos, i can [05:53] Thanatos, the trick is to provide full path to the share [05:53] but not on my pc [05:53] savage--: ldconfig may need to be run [05:53] hi fdisk and df -h are giving me different reports of my system file sizes. I am trying to use gparted, but it says that the drive i want to shrink (which is /) is 30 gbs, while i know i only have about 2 gbs of stuff in it. i need some help thanks. and when i click on properties of filesystem it only shows 12 gbs for both home and root, not the 36 it should. any help please [05:53] jenny: you could try lshw [05:53] savage--: try sudo ldconfig -v, and then run your program again [05:53] Thanatos, theres a bug in gnome-vfs that prevents gnome from displaying shares when you just open smb://servername [05:54] when i go to mitch-pc(my pc) its just blank in there [05:54] usser: I have done "close network manager and try ping google.com". It responds 0% packets lost. [05:54] Thanatos, you have to use smb://servername/sharename [05:54] but other computers on the network work [05:54] tritium, ok, just ran ldconfig but still same error -- it's really strange because it's right there in /lib [05:54] bullgard4, paste the whole line [05:54] usser why does it work with some computers but not others for me [05:54] tritium, could it be a path thing perhaps? [05:54] savage--: you get this error when? [05:55] bullgard4, line after --- google.com ping statistics --- [05:55] usser: What whole line should I paste? [05:55] 有说中文的没有？ [05:55] tritium, when I try to run the firefox executable [05:55] usser, i'm trying that now. thanks [05:55] !ch | activeuser [05:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about ch [05:55] i gotta go jenny, please get better soon. im sorry your sick [05:55] tritium, when I run ldconfig -v I can see it first loading up libraries from /lib [05:55] !ja | activeuser [05:55] activeuser: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [05:55] firestorm, beats me... i have same problem it works on some computers [05:55] firestorm, but not the others [05:55] savage--: I'm not sure, then [05:56] china [05:56] hmmm [05:56] usser: I have got now Internet access to http://www.google.de! [05:56] ok, I downloaded the tar.gz, now how do I install it? [05:56] !cn | activeuser [05:56] activeuser: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:56] bullgard4, cool. so it was incorrect dns settings [05:56] hi fdisk and df -h are giving me different reports of my system file sizes. I am trying to use gparted, but it says that the drive i want to shrink (which is /) is 30 gbs, while i know i only have about 2 gbs of stuff in it. i need some help thanks. and when i click on properties of filesystem it only shows 12 gbs for both home and root, not the 36 it should. any help please [05:56] so wait usser how do i see the one htat doesnt work? in the gui [05:56] usser: Please be more specific: What DNS setting was wrong with me? [05:57] firestorm, specify the full path ie if on windows machine you have a share named Share then in file manager type smb://serverip/Share [05:57] is there a paid service in google that will rank up your website in search results for a specific keyword? [05:58] what does it mean if it says i should run this command aas a super user? [05:58] firestorm, ip would be better because it will definitely work as opposed to hostname which ubuntu fails to resolve oftentimes [05:58] !sudo | jenny [05:58] jenny: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [05:58] tritium, could I use the synaptic package manager to reinstall all of my installed packages? [05:58] ok how do i set the path in the gui like i would windows [05:58] dmsuperman: did it work?

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [06:00] savage--: yes, but that would take a very long time.

[06:00] tritium, i'm trying it now:-) [06:00] firestorm: type it [06:00] savage--: I'd advise against it [06:00] danbh_intrepid: I restarted into recovery mode and did it [06:00] danbh_intrepid: The problem was that wasn't it [06:00] Is there a way to view all folders open? lsof lists all files open, and I want something like that, but with folders. [06:00] danbh_intrepid: And those errors I was getting can't be found in my syslog anywhere [06:01] usser: Thank you very much for your help. [06:01] firestorm, click on little icon to the very left of address bar [06:01] FAJ, but there's no code, just a file called "flashplayer-installer" [06:01] firestorm, that should turn it into text field in which u can enter the address [06:01] eligos: then just double click on it?

I am trying to use gparted, but it says that the drive i want to shrink (which is /) is 30 gbs, while i know i only have about 2 gbs of stuff in it. i need some help thanks. and when i click on properties of filesystem it only shows 12 gbs for both home and root, not the 36 it should. any help please [06:03] in the other pcs on my network the password was just blank [06:03] what's up with W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox-3.0/firefox_3.0.2+build6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1_all.deb [06:03] but on mine i had to enter the actual user password [06:03] but you dont have to do that on xp [06:03] so i dunno why the settings are different [06:04] also whats the best music player i guess most similar to wmp11 [06:04] firestorm, i dont think such an abomination exists on linux [06:04] usser, It's still not finding it. It's so frustrating, cuz it worked in Gutsy. [06:05] firestorm: You might want to try amaroK [06:05] firestorm, try rhythmbox amarok but they would be more similar to itunes [06:05] firestorm: Exaile is a more basic one [06:05] Thanatos, hm can you ping the ip? [06:05] firestorm, vlc media player works just fine [06:05] ok how do i get those [06:06] does anyone know the command to run to get my sound card name?? still trying to figure it out [06:06] ya i know vlc would work but i want like an organized list of my music [06:06] playlists etc [06:06] whats the apt get command for those players [06:06] i also need to get mp3 support [06:06] usser, Ping returns a surprisingly long time of about 900ms, but it works [06:06] jenny: asoundconf list [06:06] firestorm: for your benefit, learn to search for them in synaptic, and install them from there [06:06] does gparted support jfs partitions? [06:06] !mp3 | firestorm [06:06] firestorm: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [06:06] Thanatos, thats weird providing the whole path always worked for me. are u sure you got the name of the share right? in windows you can set it to whatever you want it doesnt have to necessarily be the same as folder name [06:07] I am trying to create one as a logical drive but the option does not seem to be available [06:07] Thanatos, oh my... on a local network? [06:07] http://primates.ximian.com/~jpr/Screenshot-gnome-main-menu-1.png can someone check this image, im missing the "show:" tab--- pleease [06:07] is there any reason i would be getting a socket error when using xsupplicant/ [06:07] usser, make that .900 ms [06:07] Jenny. I tried the command that tritium gave you and it works on 7.10. Give it a try. [06:07] im on 8.04 [06:07] Thanatos, hehe thats a big difference :) [06:07] jenny: it will still work [06:07] i suppose tritium but isnt apt get faster is there a way to search for similar named things in apt get [06:07] and what was the command again..and i need to run as super user..so do i just put sudo before it? [06:08] Thanatos, double check the share name [06:08] firestorm: no, synaptic is simply a front-end to apt-get [06:08] firestorm: you can use "apt-cache search " [06:08] ya i know but fast in that i dont have to use a gui [06:08] firestorm: yes, use apt-cache search, then [06:09] alright thanks [06:09] can anyone suggest a partition program that supports jfs, gparted does not seem to [06:11] tritium: nd what was the command again..and i need to run as super user..so do i just put sudo before it? [06:11] jenny: what are you trying to do? === jesse_ is now known as zero-jt [06:12] the sommand u gave me to enter for my sound card name...i did but i t didnt work cause i have to enter it as super user....and i dont know how [06:12] arg [06:12] jenny: you don't need sudo to use "lspci" [06:13] i wanna do an HD install of damn small linux is there anyway i can do that from this ubuntu install and dual boot? [06:13] without losing ubuntu [06:13] jenny: you can also try "lshw -class sound" [06:13] how do i search for files in ubuntu? [06:13] !locate | Radit [06:13] Radit: locate is a command-line file search utility. To make sure its cache is up to date run: sudo updatedb [06:14] Radit: there are others, such as "find", "whereis", "which" [06:14] hi, i dunno what i did but now everytime i load up m,y computer i get the desktop wallpaper without icons, my irc, and then no gnome-panel, can anyone help me troubleshoot this? [06:14] tritium: thanks, i'll try [06:14] tritium..first one doesnt tell me..and second one says...run as super user [06:14] firestorm, how did you get access to ur windows network share? [06:14] and apparently compiz is running too [06:15] subone: stop compiz [06:15] Thanatos, ya [06:15] kill it? [06:15] subone: sure [06:15] Thanatos, smb://mitch-pc/media/ [06:15] is mine [06:15] so you have to know your computers computer name [06:15] ok now i have no window manager running either lol [06:16] and the name of the shared folder [06:16] and then it asked me to login [06:16] tritium..first one doesnt tell me..and second one says...run as super user [06:16] so now what [06:16] jenny: yes if it says super user [06:16] jenny: sudo yep [06:16] jenny: you'd have to look carefully at the output of "lspci -v" [06:17] jenny: or if it's a graphical application you want to run you could do gksudo [06:17] is there a way to run a console in X from another virtual terminal? that would make this a little easier [06:17] jenny: regarding your 2nd question, "sudo lshw -class sound" [06:17] I'm looking for calendar*.ics, i used: locate calendar*.ics; even though there is a file named calendar.ics in my system locate doesn't find it [06:17] jenny: and output of commands such as lspci, may be a bit confussing to understand, if your new to Linux [06:18] can anyone tell me why im getting a socket error in hardy about xsupplicant [06:18] exit [06:19] if i use gparted to create a new partition to install dsl to will it screw up my ubuntu install? [06:19] probhna: well yes if you accidently delete Ubuntu [06:19] I'm looking for calendar*.ics, i used: locate calendar*.ics; even though there is a file named calendar.ics in my system locate doesn't find it [06:19] prohna: if you accidently delete the Ubuntu partitoin [06:19] am i doing something wrong? [06:19] Hey, I installed Songbird and it ran right, but I accidentally deleted the folder, so I redownloaded it and now when I open it I get a line in the middle of my screen that I can resize but all thats there is a black box... any ideas? [06:19] prohna: ,but you should be able to put DSL on another partition and edit Grub if it does not already do it, so both can boot [06:19] SebNaitsabes: so if im careful and dont touch this partition i can do this? [06:20] prohna: you still there? [06:20] subone: yeah [06:20] what now :p [06:20] probhna: but dual booting is a bit sucky, why not just do DSL in a virtualmachien inside Ubuntu? [06:20] subone: can you open a terminal? [06:20] probhna: well if you got at least 512MB RAM that is [06:20] prohna: virtual terminal [06:20] SebNaitsabes: i only have 512 :) [06:20] prohna: that's enough [06:20] prohna: idk how to run one in X without any terminal open or alt+f2 [06:21] subone: yer not even in gnome? [06:21] anyone know if there is a GTK equivelant of Krita ? [06:21] prohna: yeah but gnome-panel hasnt started [06:21] or crashed on load or something [06:21] subone: what if you hit alt f2 [06:21] nothing? [06:21] prohna: yep dual booting two Linux distros would suck quite a lot, having the second in a virtual machine though, would be pretty good, and then you can use both at same time [06:21] nothing [06:21] tried that :p [06:22] subone: idk then [06:22] prohna: i can use the virtual terminal of course [06:22] schnoods: yea, GIMP :) [06:22] SebNaitsabes: i should just install dsl to this other tower here [06:22] SebNaitsabes: but i only got on monitor lol [06:22] anyone else then? [06:23] anyone what to try this one: how to rename the home directory ! [06:23] !monitor [06:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about monitor [06:23] !screen [06:23] screen is a terminal multiplexer.

Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [06:24] prohna: think there's a good way to share two computers on same monitor [06:24] prohna: but not sure [06:25] home/user [06:25] im linking my website here just so that i can try to open firefox at least :p http://subone.org [06:25] There has got to be an easy way to code this [06:25] prohna: and there are ways you can use the other computer without having the screen plugged in to it, I just thought of something [06:26] nope that didnt work... [06:26] goodmorning [06:26] how do you run an app in X from a virtual terminal? [06:26] usermod -l for the username works great but when I try to rename the directory it crashes [06:28] "sudo chmod -R 0760 *" modifies only the current folder(not the folders in that current folder) . how to make it recursive in the directories too? [06:28] dose any one else have problems playing custom sounds on the login window? [06:28] What is the function of the file /etc/resolv.conf?

[06:34] generic: it's not generally advisable to drop files into system directories [06:34] generic: if you want to make system-level changes on your machine, use the directories under /usr/local/ [06:34] tritium: man revolv.conf is incomprehensible to me. -- How is it possible that it contained not the address of my ADSL router although my computer had Internet access before I visited a local computer club last night?

I tried the more file.chm thing but the encoding went crazy [06:37] generic: I think there is a wine program for that [06:38] bullgard4: if you're using fixed addresses, network-manager will ignore them [06:38] no i can veiw chms in the gui with xchm i meant in the shell [06:38] bullgard4: note from /usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian that "Only devices that are *not* listed in /etc/network/interfaces are managed by NM.

[06:54] bullgard4: no problem [06:55] Is there a script like freebsd's portaudit ?

[07:32] toshiba, you must be kidding about the hacking programs... [07:32] jf13: it will leave you a big mess [07:32] tritium: do you by any chance know why cups might not be handling .pdf files? [07:33] I have no sound can't see anything worse lol ohwell [07:33] balz: no, sorry. But a "dpkg -l | grep cups" on my mythbuntu 8.04 installation confirms that cups is in use [07:33] toshiba: l33t hacking tools here: http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Script_kiddie [07:33] balz: he's gone [07:33] oh darn [07:33] how do i remove .local from the network name. i dont really want to browse http://mypc.local [07:33] No, his question was offtopic, and not appropriate.

[07:34] balz: sure [07:34] tritium: thanks a lot [07:34] silly skiddie [07:35] ok i got it. google first grr [07:35] :-( [07:35] if I do a frsh install is there a way to setup the system so it will accept me switching from speakers to usb headset without loosing sound? [07:35] balz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/53102/ [07:35] fav [07:37] tritium: looks like i'm missing libgnomecups1.0-1 ... perhapse we have win? [07:38] i guess i could look myself in wikki [07:38] dammit are the repository servers down? [07:38] not the last time I apt'ed like an hour ago [07:39] balz: win? [07:39] tritium: no i can't connect to the repos =/ [07:39] balz: no, I was asking what you mean by "win" [07:39] exit [07:40] tritium: oh. sorry. stupid internet speech ... i meant that I might have a solution [07:41] balz: gotcha [07:42] I keep getting this error when I try to apt-get: Err http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main libgnomecups1.0-1 0.2.3-1ubuntu1 Could not connect to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.88.31). - connect (113 No route to host) [IP: 91.189.88.31 80] [07:42] what gives/ [07:42] ? [07:42] try tracerouting to it [07:43] nlund what's the command? [07:43] and are there alternate repository servers i can add to sources.list? [07:43] tracroute [07:43] traceroute 91.189.88.31 [07:43] tcptraceroute [07:44] not sure what tcptraceroute is, but if that is an alternative you can use that. [07:45] neither work. i don't ahve traceroute-nanog or traceroute installed... =/ [07:45] ifconfig to see if your networkings up :) [07:45] lol [07:46] nlund it looks as though it is. i'm connected via ssh from a client anyway [07:46] and the client has internet access [07:46] and i'm on IRC =) [07:46] gotcha.. I was partially joking [07:46] nlund... sorry my sarcasm detector is a bit off =) [07:46] lol [07:46] plus it's late [07:47] well if traceroute's not working, my guess is ping maybe... not sure if ping is held back on that IP though [07:47] nlund: maybe the server's down for backups or something... it is almost 3 in the morning [07:48] good point.. let me try tracerouting to it from AZ [07:48] yeah taht would be great. Are there alternate servers out there? [07:48] im sorry but i have to do this http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1832002 [07:48] can someone help me please? my audio fluctuates between some programs working (rhythmbox, vlc, youtube) and sometimes not. i have an audigy 2 zs in my pci slot but i can't figure out how to set it as default so i'm using my onboard intel audio for now, but vlc and youtube aren't playing audio, yet rhythmbox is [07:48] haha that is a good one, surfnkid [07:49] hmmm I tracerouted fine [07:49] Hey, I just enabeled pre-released updates and unsupported updates (for Hardy) and now only one app at a time has "access" to the my soundcard (for output). In order to let another app play sound, I need to quit the one currently playing sound and then start the other. For example, if I'm listening to music w/Rhythm box but want to watch some YouTube, I must quit rhythmbox and then start Firefox in order for Firefox to be able to play [07:49] sound. [07:49] any idea why this might be? [07:50] or any idea where to go to get some info on how to start debugging this? [07:50] nlund. the only thing i can think of is that I changed my router's IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 [07:51] balz: well your routing properly since your on here [07:51] sound was working fine before I enabled those updates, fyi [07:51] good point.... [07:51] it could be just a problem with the ISP your on getting to that IP [07:52] possibly. if i typed the ip in the address bar of my browser, maybe that would give me some indication [07:52] person: maybe your problem is the same as mine? [07:52] root@horia-laptop:/home/lfs/lfs# mount -v --bind /dev #LFS/dev [07:52] mount: special device udev does not exist [07:52] as far as options, I'm a debian/gentoo/centos/etc user that just started using ubuntu [07:52] not sure, i disabled those unofficial updates [07:52] what am i doing rong? [07:52] did you downgrade from those updates afterward? [07:53] nlund: it shows up in the browser... so who knows [07:53] i also noticed that i can't access IMDB from the myth box anymore [07:53] blaz; http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-select-fastest-mirror-in-ubuntu.html you might try this [07:54] bpr: nope, i updated after a fresh install then turned off updates [07:54] bpr: i'm really new to the linux scene so i really have nfi what's going on :/ [07:54] balz: this should be interesting to see the answer to since I know I'll see the same problem in the future [07:54] can i add in feisty the network icon on mymenu? [07:54] hi! how to see, if the serial port (ttyS0) is open? [07:54] person: hmm, maybe downgrading would work. I haven't tried to do that yet. So I don't know for sure that it would [07:54] person: ah. [07:55] nlund: ahah well i will certainly report back when i've figured it out... odly enough schedules direct seems to be working so who knows [07:55] simon_b: "lsof | grep -i ttys0" is the first I'd try [07:55] maybe a nice old-fashioned reboot will solve my problems [07:55] person: i'm gunna reboot with an older kernel and see if that helps... [07:56] person: brb [07:56] ? [07:56] balz: I donno I doubt it... if it does, that is scary [07:56] i got this problem with some ubuntu 7.10 clients authenticating against kerberos [07:57] when using the needchange attribute to require the user to change the password at next login [07:57] tools like kinit says that password has expired [07:58] I have a few odd lines in daemon.log: any idea what's up? http://paste.ubuntu.com/53106/ [07:58] how can i change my screen resolution, i entered to System/Preferences/Resolution, but i only have 800x600 [07:58] Hello all [07:58] those are commons lines [07:59] gusx: you talking to me?

[07:59] I just installed AWN dock does anyone know how to get it working [07:59] and how do i know whick driver is better kika? [07:59] NikeCRu666 : change it in /etc/usplash.conf [08:00] Hi guys..

I mean i can test my server, but others cant use my server? [08:04] just install ubuntu now [08:04] gusx: the original problem is that my CUPS server won't print .pdf from remote clients so i'm trying to see if missing packages might solve it [08:04] nlund i got: Xorg 8495 root 11u CHR 4,64 5727 /dev/ttS0 [08:04] person: does it work with your onboard sound? [08:04] I need to find out about a live cd with a unix based SO, probably a linux distro, maybe called "lincrack" or "linecrack" or linkcrack"... am i imagining it, or it DOES exists??

[08:38] does ubuntu support a umax astra 3400 usb scanner? i didnt see it in the compatibility wiki. [08:38] rfxcasey, no idea. it's possible you could pass it some arguments from the command line, if you cant set that up in the awn manager. follow that link I gave you to put it in your startup (basically, System \ Preferences\ Sessions - startup programs, but I'm pulling this all out of my ass. man avant-window-navigator shows no command line options, so if not awn manager, maybe some config file, i dunno [08:39] It's an Atheros [08:39] rfxcasey, probably through a theme [08:40] batsmaster: is it an AR5212 802.11abg NIC [08:41] what causes my ubuntu graphics to look very windows 98ish?? [08:41] can i downgrade vlc 0.9.3 to 0.8.6?

How can I get usplash back on? [09:05] hmmmm [09:06] /msg ubottu etiquette [09:06] ignore [09:06] command not found ... [09:06] waan: what does /boot/grub/menu.lst say on the end of the kernel lines?

But it does show quickly before the system starts loading, then it switches to text [09:09] kk [09:09] thanks jim_p === harry is now known as Guest25967 [09:09] joseph_: That looks reasonable, yes. The whole first blue thing is one line.

I added a new hdd and mounted it as /home in fstab, I made a couple of errors and then the textboot cut in to warn me that some partitions were wrong. So I corrected fstab but it never reverted back to usplash. [09:11] joseph_: remove the 1st sudo!!! [09:12] ok [09:12] batsmasher: sudo apt-cache search ndis [09:12] i c [09:12] about an sd-card : sometimes it mounts automatically, sometimes not... [09:12] batsmasher: if this doesnt show you ndis-common then you need to update your package repository [09:12] waan: reisntall usplash then, or use splashy in its pace [09:12] i'm on hardy 8.04 if it can help [09:13] !changethemes [09:13] To change gnome themes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy.

[09:15] Hello, I want to clone a Ubuntu setup to many identical machines. What options are there to go about this? [09:15] i'm also on hardy 8.04 . I cannot find the w32code from google , who can help me? thanks [09:15] my card is a SD card "made in taiwan" i don't get to read the trade, and sometimes it mounts other times it doesn't [09:15] so I can't play the movies with rmvb format [09:15] blueprotein: its on medibuntu repo [09:15] Anyone know how to add paths for templates and what not for all users in OpenOffice? [09:15] jim_p : is there any forum/site about these problems with sd-cards? [09:15] luminerd: if the harddrive partitions are identical....why not backup the whole partition and rewrite it to the new machines? [09:15] !medibuntu | blueprotein [09:15] blueprotein: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [09:16] luminerd: this would be software independent then.... [09:16] beli: That's what I'm asking... I want to clone it exactly as is [09:16] I still have problems installing wine E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [09:16] E: Unable to lock the download directory [09:16] jim_p, i'll look into that if I cant fix usplash [09:16] moza: the gentoo wiki just lists what works and what not [09:16] joseph_: close any other package managers you have open (update-manager, synaptic, other apt-gets, etc) [09:17] luminerd: ok there are multiple tools for that.....maybe you want to checkout ultimate boot disc [09:17] jim_p, ok, i'll try that to see at least in what category is my card [09:17] Flannel: thanks, had ultamatix on [09:17] joseph_: Ooooh [09:17] joseph_: NOOOOOO, you don't want that. Get rid of it (even though its already broken your system) [09:18] moza: you siad its an SD! [09:18] Flannel: It has already :( [09:18] I have try some methods from the google , but none of those are effective [09:18] joseph_: I suggest reinstall. Give yourself a system that works, and stay far, far away from *matix. [09:18] jim_p, yes i said that, is there something i didn't get? [09:19] sigh [09:19] beli: Hmm, is that UBCD? Can't find an "Ultimate boot disc" [09:19] UBCD doesn't look like what I need though [09:19] moza: if it works with one SD card, it will work with all SD cards === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [09:19] luminerd: wait pls sysrescuecd might be better [09:19] moza: let me find an example [09:19] I started from Ubuntu ultimate ... and system died after a few days , now I use ultamatix thought it was a step forward [09:19] luminerd: got phone...... [09:20] np :) thanks for your assistance! [09:20] joseph_: don't do that either. Use official Ubuntu. Ultimate edition, ultamatix, are both horrible, horrible hackjobs. [09:20] jim_p, ok, i only have one SD card, it worked once or twice, but most of the time it doesn't [09:20] can we run tv from internet using tv tuner card instead of running it through a set top box wire or some thing like that???? [09:20] moza: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HP_Pavilion_dv6850el scroll down and look at a table with the laptops specifications and what works [09:21] my repositories is real mess.. If I could just sort them... [09:21] indian_munnda: like use a tv card? [09:21] the apps that appear in synaptic do not appear in add/remove [09:22] joseph_: Just reinstall. There's no way to get rid of the damage from ultamatix. [09:22] joseph_: Also, add/remove isn't as comprehensive as synaptic, and never was designed to be. [09:22] ...and i got disconnected === rraphink is now known as raphink [09:22] jim_p: i have it and i have already conneted it to the pci. [09:22] did i miss something? [09:22] ok.... :( [09:23] indian_munnda: so what is the problem? [09:23] jim_p: no didn't [09:23] missed [09:23] ? [09:23] just one thing... is there any way to create a ghost with linux like in acronis image for windows? [09:23] joseph_: clonezilla [09:23] jim_p: problem is that i want to start tv from the internet if it is possible can u tell me how to do that [09:24] cool thanks [09:24] ok.. off to 17th re-installation might fet lucky === samba is now known as Guest74272 [09:26] jim_p : ok, i checked on the page. it seems the sd card reader is supported on other laptops and was not tested on mine on this wiki [09:26] my laptop is : http://gentoo-wiki.com/HP_Compaq_nx8220 [09:27] moza: give me a sec please [09:27] is there a way to get a rightclick menu with rounded corners for gnome? [09:28] hey [09:28] jim_p : sorry, take your time, there is no rush [09:28] im new here [09:28] im a kubuntu user kcd [09:28] hi [09:29] I'm using Ubuntu [09:29] hi [09:29] <_coredump_> moinsen [09:29] luminerd: back...http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page [09:29] luminerd: Partimage is what i used once.... [09:29] I was just looking at Partimage [09:30] i dont know how to get a sceme :( [09:30] sceme? [09:31] theme [09:31] yea [09:31] www.gnomelook.org [09:31] luminerd: you need to save your partitionizing data using fdisk/cfdisk to a file...then reproduce the partition on the new system...and then copy over the data...thats all...Partimage splits files into 2GB parts to take care of filesystem limitations... [09:31] guys i need help to connecting to wpa wireless, i cant connect at all [09:31] im trying to use ubuntu-vm-builder in hardy to create an intrepid vm. it doesn't like that. anyone know how to make u-v-b aware of intrepid? [09:32] luminerd: sysrescuecd is what you need :) [09:32] beli: I read over that, not sure how it will help me? [09:33] hi there - where can I find out when Python 2.6 will become the default in Ubuntu? [09:33] I find it rather unbelievable that this isn't trivial :/ [09:33] luminerd: it is a linux booatable disc....containing all the tools you need....sfdisk/Partimage...so you can boot from the disc and use the tools to reproduce the discs [09:34] hi [09:34] luminerd: it is trivial....you save partition data and data of patitions...you write partition data and data of partitions ;) [09:34] just got ubuntu installed.. how do you see your LAN IP from terminal (bash)?? [09:35] kinda new to *nix [09:35] ubuntenthu: ifconfig [09:35] luminerd: and you boot from the sysrescuecd to do all the stuff.... [09:35] hello [09:35] jim_p, I think I know what the problem is, but not how to fix it. I moved swap to a new bigger partition, it doesn't have an UUID now and I think the system is checking the wrong partition for a hibernation image. (hence no usplash) [09:35] beli: Ok, but how will I actually back up the data with the sysrescuecd? I only have one drive [09:35] ok i have an odd issue here, during install of Ubuntu Gutsy it get an error "Bug: soft hang up" CPU#0 is not responsive 11s" [09:35] any ideas? [09:36] could someone please tell is their a way and how can you dual boot Ubuntum, windows xp and windows 98 all at once? [09:36] thanks maco! [09:36] luminerd: erm...you might need an external device you can use at all machines....like usb mass storage [09:36] can anyone else help me lol? [09:37] beli: back up to usb? The drive is like 80 gigs... [09:37] susa24: ubuntu should automatically add both instances of windows to the boot list so you can choose. getting both versions of windows on one computer to begin with could be tricky though. [09:37] luminerd: DVDs? [09:37] luminerd: and? usb mass storage devices have size of hundreds of gigs [09:37] beli: flash drive, not usb hard drive [09:38] maco: read....i told him about mass storage devices no matter what kind of...MASS [09:38] anyone, my wireless LAN cannot connect to the internet.. [09:38] beli: yes, but i think he means flash drive, and those don't come in 100s of gigs [09:38] can i add win 98 to the boot menu if i already have xp and ubuntu installed [09:38] beli: i think the largest is 32G for like $150 [09:38] maco: then he should read too maybe ;) [09:39] maco: we dont talk about flash stuff.... [09:39] anyone, my wireless LAN cannot connect to the internet........... [09:39] beli: what? [09:39] luminard, they mean for you to use an external hard disk that plugs in via usb, not an actual usb thumb drive [09:39] I picked up the Linsta theme from gnome art but the desktop panel at thebottom doesnt appear. Is there some setting that needs to be tweaked [09:39] beli: I've never heard of a memory stick over 4 gigs :/ at any rate I don't have that option. I need to be able to back up the system to a disk or series of disks and then put those disks into another system and "restore" them. [09:39] maco: you brought up that flash stuff discussion...its not what we talked about [09:40] can i add win 98 to the boot menu if i already have xp and ubuntu installed? [09:40] susa24: installing any version of windows after ubuntu is likely to knock out grub. why would you want to though? it doesn't even get security updates, and if you need a way to run ancient DOS apps, dosemu on linux should help [09:40] Why is GNU gprof not found in the repositry? Is it called something else? [09:40] In what situations or cases will be overwritten /etc/resolv.conf? [09:40] luminerd: external hard drives -> mass storage --> usb driven mass storage devices [09:40] NOT FLASH DRIVES [09:40] :) [09:40] beli: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:40] beli: but he said he doesn't have another hard drive, just a usb drive. in that context, it sounds like he has a flash drive [09:40] i m developing software in gambas but i dont know what to use for date [09:40] is anyone able to help me? [09:40] !patience | batsmasher [09:40] batsmasher: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [09:41] its for running Redalert 1 in win95 mode, because im having trouble with compatability in xp for ipx [09:41] luminerd: buy some :) 500gb external hard drive is about 70 euro [09:41] beli: Ok. But that doesn't realy help me [09:41] LOL [09:41] anyone have a knowledge of gambas ? [09:41] Yeah, fix all your problems! "go buy stuff" that's fantastic and incredibly helpful advice (NOT) [09:41] luminerd: how many systems do you have to copy over? [09:42] luminerd: in all honesty though, you ought to be keeping regular backups as a good habit [09:42] I'm not seeing HDPARM as a service in hardy, where do you set it to load on boot these days? [09:42] hathiwala: what is a gambas? [09:42] its a GUI application like a visual basic [09:42] i have !patience lol [09:42] maco: I do, and it's really freaking easy because I use a Mac. However I am stuck setting up these linux systems and apperantly linux users don't think backing up is important, either that or they just can't stand to make soemthing easy. [09:42] Batsmasher: you're not giving enough information for anyone to help you. [09:42] i am developing software in that but i m not getting any tools for date field [09:43] beli: Not sure exactly, around 20+ systems maybe [09:43] luminerd: oh it's for someone else's computer? [09:43] They are all identical, except a few have more RAM [09:43] Batsmasher: for example, what wireless card do you have [09:43] luminerd: so it might be a nice investion to buy an external hard drive, really... [09:43] It's for a company I work for [09:43] of, i have an Atheros Wireless LAN Card and it is not detected in Network Manager [09:43] Batsmasher: have you checked the hardware manager / hardware driver manager? [09:43] But it's completely unnecesary [09:44] luminerd: alternative is to make a package list of your ubuntu install, then install ubuntu basic and let it source the package list [09:44] maco: lol where is it :) [09:44] luminerd, what does that company use for backups? [09:44] luminerd: so you could do it without backup space [09:44] Batsmasher: system -> administration [09:44] beli: he just wants to automate installs? [09:44] anyone have a clue what would cause "BUG: soft lock up detected on CPU#0!" ? i'm using an acer aspire with an amd 64bit dual core processor [09:44] how can i get a rightclick-menu with rounded corners??? [09:44] luminerd: or you take that harddrive and put it into each clone system....and copy the harddrive over [09:44] No vital data is being stored on the systems themselves. The execs use Macs so backups are automatic for the important stuff [09:44] it is possible to configure a network connection point-to-point in terminal? [09:45] zplash: create the GTK widget and get it added to GNOME maybe? [09:45] beli: I have backup space: CDs. Discs. [09:45] vr8mf: through a crossover ethernet cable? [09:45] maco: no, he wanted to clone harddrive at first...but without backup space ;) [09:45] erusul: yeap [09:45] !clone | luminerd beli [09:45] luminerd beli: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [09:45] The backup space is a DISK [09:45] luminerd: you can use them...but you will get a juggler [09:45] luminerd: i dont get what having a mac has to do with backing up [09:45] a bootable disk [09:45] s/get/become/ [09:45] I recently moved my swap partition to a bigger logical partition, and now the system is looking for its UUID which doesn't exist, causing usplash to cut out. Is there a way I can fix this? [09:45] maco: Atheros Hardware Access Layer and Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards both in use [09:45] vr8mf: yep just use static ip on both ends [09:46] Is it such a horrible request, to ask to be able to back my system up to a bootable Disk? Every other OS int he world can do it trivially [09:46] Batsmasher: did you reboot since enabling that? [09:46] yes :) [09:46] waan: edit /etc/fstab and put the correct id [09:46] !uuid | waan [09:46] waan: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [09:46] erUSUL: thats what i told him, but initially he wanted to CLONE the harddrive/partition....whatever....i told my stuff [09:46] !fstab > waan [09:46] waan, please see my private message [09:46] luminerd: really? because if you've got more data for the OS than the capacity of the disk... [09:46] macd: Because on a Mac, Time Machine does everything for you. It makes backing up feasible for people who aren't super geniouses. [09:46] erUSUL, it's been corrected in fstab, the problem is when the system boots [09:46] erusul: how can i do it? i'm newbie :D [09:46] erUSUL, also because its a logical partition there is no UUID [09:47] maco: Windows COMES with a utility to back up your entire system to a _SERIES_ of discs. and restore fully. [09:47] erusul: maybe some link [09:47] OS X has a nice third party one that is very easy to use [09:47] luminerd: oh, you want mondo and mindi [09:47] vr8mf: edit /etc/network/interfaces see man interfaces [09:47] erUSUL, I think it might still be looking for a hibernation image from the original UUID [09:47] luminerd: you say that like there aren't easy tools for backing up linux [09:47] I have a windows xp machine whose IP address is 192.168.1.3 and my ubuntu's IP is 192.168.1.2, if share a folder in xp, say, myshare how do I access from ubuntu? [09:48] ubuntenthu: Open Nautilus, type in smb://remote.host/share [09:48] waan: it does not matter if it is logical or primary both have a blkid [09:48] from windows I would do \\192.168.1.2\myshare\ in run command and it works [09:48] maco: he does not want to learn/read/think and wants all for free and nothing...but cloning 20 systems..... ;) [09:48] Well, there might well be but I'm sure not seeing anything. This partimage is an absolute nightmare. You have to install like 8 libraries just to install it. [09:48] luminerd: mondo and mindi create a series of cds for bare metal recovery [09:48] ubuntenthu, just go to network [09:48] thanks hateball, let me try. [09:48] macd: Sounds like exactly what I want [09:48] luminerd: and partimage isnt for backups [09:48] luminerd: why not clone the system by with your mac then, if it has a tool for doing it? [09:49] erUSUL, this is what I get in blkid, /dev/hda5: TYPE="swap" [09:49] luminerd: rsync -av /home /media/backupdisk for command line [09:49] luminerd: use clonizilla. go to its website for details seems exactly what you want [09:49] use what's usefull [09:49] luminerd: and there are GUI apps too, but ive never tried them. [09:49] maco: From Partimage's homepage: "This utility can be used to install many identical computers." That is why I was interested in partimage [09:49] luminerd: its for doing the actual ghosting [09:49] waan: /dev/sdb2: TYPE="swap" UUID="bfb5c55a-d03d-4b6c-acb3-25fc417eb24f" <<<< that's what i get for mine [09:49] erUSUL, vol_id shows ID_FS_UUID= [09:49] you can use partimage to install to multiple computers [09:49] hi, I use Hardy. There's a problem with the LEDs in my keyboard, anyone specific on this topic ? [09:50] make sure to pull out the UUID code and make it /dev/sd** first [09:50] callkalpa: what exactly is wrong? [09:50] anyone able to help me with getting my internet up on my Atheros wireless LAN card which has the installed drivers but is not detecting the wireless input? [09:50] beli: what are you saying? Virtualize OS X and use time machine? lol... It's a PC running linux, how the hell am I supposed to use my Mac to do that? [09:50] is feisty before or after hardy? [09:50] moza: Feisty is 7.04, Hardy is 8.04 [09:50] beli: macs are too stupid to understand ext3 [09:50] moza: recite your ABCs [09:51] maco: uh and that as a bsd system ;) [09:51] how do I add 'hdparm -a32 -A1 -S42 -W1 /dev/sda' to the file /etc/init.d/rc.local so that hdparm works correctly? how should this file look when I'm done? http://paste.ubuntu.com/53131/ [09:51] when I press the Caps key, Num Lock etc. the leds don't lit [09:51] still the functions are working properly [09:51] yoyo - anyone know how to make dpkg stop trying to use gtk frontend? [09:51] maco : i didn't realize the first letters of the distributions were an abc.. ! [09:51] Only the LEDs don't work [09:51] callkalpa: and you're sure they didnt burn out [09:51] thank you all [09:52] erUSUL, any idea what the problem might be then, or how to re-init that swap so the partition is correct? [09:52] moza: well the first couple were out of order, then someone realized it'd be impossible to remember, so after D it's alphabetical [09:52] yes, at boot all three lights [09:52] anyone able to help me with getting my internet up on my Atheros wireless LAN card which has the installed drivers but is not detecting the wireless input? *sighs* :P [09:52] waan: try "sudo mkswap /dev/hda5" [09:52] hello [09:52] maco : ok, thanks :) and usually, somthing that works under one distrib will be working on the next ones? [09:53] moza: warty, hoary, breezy, dapper, edgy, feisty, gutsy, hardy, intrepid (due in a few weeks), jaunty (april) [09:53] hi, can anyone help me get the internet speed much faster for my ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron fresh installation [09:53] moza: usually, but sometimes their are regressions [09:53] i usually get 1mb/s.. and now it's suffering at around 100kb/s [09:53] LOL. All the docs for Mondo are "Object not found" [09:53] maco : ok, so i keep hope :) [09:53] moza: we try to keep regressions to a minimum, but i know that due to restructuring of some codebases, there are a few unavoidable ones in intrepid [09:53] i tried disabling ipv6, tweaking variable settings in sysctl.. etc.. [09:53] f [09:54] i have a problem with my nvidia drivers. i uninstalled envy and tried to reinstall the nvidia drivers with the nvidia-glx-new, but i keep getting an error saying (when manually starting X) API mismatch: the nvidia kernel module has version 96.43.05. [09:54] No way in hell I'm going to be able to figure this thing out without docs. I don't even know which file to download. [09:54] luminerd: you can hire me and i bring my external usb drive and do the copies for you ;) [09:54] o [09:54] erUSUL, ok that looks like it did the trick, now I'll chuck the uuid back in fstab instead of hda5. Then figure out why usplash is getting killed. brb [09:54] I'm not that sure how I can connect to the internet anyway.. [09:54] maco : i'm not going to move to intrepid, just sticking to long support versions (i think hardy is one) [09:55] vr8mf: from command line only you can do "sudo ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.10 up" on both ends (with different ips of course) [09:55] can anyone help me get my internet speed up faster, with this new hardy installation? [09:55] i disabled ipv6, tweaked variables.. tried everything people seem to write about in forums.. but no luck yet.. [09:55] anyone able to help me with getting my internet up on my Atheros wireless LAN card which has the installed drivers but is not detecting the wireless input? [09:55] sorry about this... [09:56] still cant find wpa option on my wireless [09:56] :( [09:56] moza: yes, it is [09:56] can someone help me to set wpa on my wireless options [09:56] only wep i see [09:56] luminerd: manpages? google? [09:57] vr8mf: sorry the correct one is "sudo ifconfig eth0 up netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.10" the last argument is the ip use 10 in one comp and 11 in the other for example [09:57] luminerd: or come on here during daytime and bother Spec. he uses it for his backups [09:57] hi [09:57] maco: Googling now. Man pages tend to assume you are already a linux super-genious (whcih I am about the farthest thing from) [09:57] luminerd: "man man" will explain the manpage syntax [09:57] i have strange problems on hardy since some days [09:58] when i do apt-get install - i get this error: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Gnome.pm line 54, <> line 1.

[10:24] ne2k__: hit passwords, find the one you want to delete, right click it, and delete [10:24] maco: there is nothing called passwords [10:24] hello, i've got a major problem i'm unable to connect to the internet at all in my ubuntu installation [10:24] beli: I'm just wondering if I have to format it. right now it is Mac OS (HFS I believe?) [10:25] danielm_mc, first off i need to know if i can set it up with a freedns host, like something.whatever.net [10:25] * luminerd can't wait for ZFS support [10:25] luminerd: sysrescuecd supports ext2/ext3, reiserfs, btrfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs, vfat, ntfs, iso9660) [10:25] or if i need to purchase my very own host [10:25] I'm looking for a program that can capture video/sound from my computer for Ubuntu, similar to how a webcam would, any suggestions? [10:25] So I guess I have to format it :/ Is there a preferred one off that list? [10:25] maco: what program are you running, and which package is it in? [10:25] bullgard4, you got any idea where? I feel it's a graphics problem... but it works OK in windoze? :( [10:25] it worked ok for me before, then i've rebooted and i cant get it to work anymore [10:25] ndlovu: you need to set you xorg.conf to use Driver "trident" [10:26] luminerd: xfs scales well at big files [10:26] hey guys, im behind a proxy and have set my http_proxy env variable but my password contains a @, e.g. http_proxy=user:@pass123@proxy.something.com and now wget and apt-get think my proxy url is pass123@proxy.something.com, is there a way around this? [10:26] ne2k__: oh sorry, should be applications -> accessories -> passwords and encryption keys [10:26] ActionParsnip, thanks, I'll look up how to do that [10:26] thanks lots in advnace :) [10:26] Well, there's no big files === samba is now known as Guest83895 [10:26] maco: thanks very much! got it! [10:26] luminerd: partimage will make big files... [10:26] I see === Ziroday is now known as ziroday [10:27] Distort1: install xvidcap [10:28] maco: I feel like a little bit of a dunce now... that was pretty easy! ;-) [10:28] Hey all :) === eddie is now known as Guest85937 [10:28] hi i want more themes etc etc in my ubuntu, i saw my friends their ubuntu was cute but i dont know how. [10:28] thankya r_a_j_e :D [10:29] Aaqil: I use Gnome Colour Chooser for changing colours of things [10:29] anyone have any ideas about my proxy problem? :) [10:29] Aaqil: press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and you will find the coolest new theme [10:29] Distort1: since last night you are here :D [10:29] how do i get internet to work in ubuntu :-( [10:29] moncojhr: should work immediately mate, are you behind a proxy? [10:29] Is there a terminal command to use in Ubuntu to format an external drive [10:29] Indoctrine: where i can find that color chooser? [10:29] Aaqil: I've been online all night? .__. [10:29] ne2k__: ok i try [10:29] hmm.. my display adapter is seemingly not detected by xorg at all. Under Section "Device", there's only Identifier "Configured Video Device". can I add Driver "trident" under that? [10:29] moncojhr usually it works out of the box [10:29] ubuntu no sound on usb sound card... need help!! thanks [10:30] luminerd: try to use gparted, works pretty well [10:30] Aaqil: sudo apt-get install gnome-color-chooser [10:30] Hey :) [10:30] Fots: it worked alright at first, but i've rebooted and now i cant even ping my router [10:30] moncojhr: what is your problem, exactly? [10:30] moncojhr: if you are using ethernet and a router, you need to have an adapter enabled, with an IP address on the correct subnet and a gateway set correctly, and the router connected to the internet and working with NAT and DNS [10:31] Ooh, it's a gui. thanks the_hp :) [10:31] moncojhr: try going into the network icon and disconnect/reconect, also try to see if everything is allright with the router [10:31] moncojhr: run ifconfig in a terminal -- what ip address is assigned to each of your eth interfaces (if you have more than one -- otherwise just eth0) [10:31] yes all of that is set correctly [10:31] you're welcome luminerd [10:31] hi [10:31] how can i attach valgrind to a running process? [10:31] I've got a Sony VAIO notebook running Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE4.1. I want to get sensible power management (Low CPU/backlight/spin down HD when on backlight, but not when on AC). Is there a way to tell (k)ubuntu that my machine is a Laptop and have it do everything for me? Otherwise, what packages should I install? [10:31] ne2k__: isnt the deceptively simple always fun? [10:32] hehe [10:32] i have eth0 and eth1 (two ports on my motherboard) [10:32] i only use one though [10:32] My Ubuntu 8.04 LTSP installation is freezing (screen freezes but mouse moving) is it normal from time to time? The kernel message is: [ 1454.088037] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out [10:33] about the icon view in konqueror : is there a way to enlarge the icons? [10:33] Hmm, it is not letting me delete the main partition. [10:33] * Kondensuotas_pie hallllllllllo [10:33] kaingeo: is there a lot of noise on your network or is it very high latency? [10:33] erUSUL, I fixed the usplash problem. When I moved my swap partition, the system was looking for a non-existant partition for resume images. I had to generate a new initrd.gz with the correct UUID in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume [10:33] moncojhr: which IP address is assigned to each "ifconfig", and what does "ip route" say? [10:33] !yay | waan [10:33] waan: Glad you made it! :-) [10:33] * Kondensuotas_pie sypsosisis [10:33] moncojhr: sometimes, you have to click on the wired network option on network manager [10:33] I wonder how long Aaqil will be away for [10:34] ne2k__: ctrl+alt+f1 showed me non gui interface which i dont know how to exit or control and to exit i restarted my PC from back :D [10:34] kaingeo: that sounds like a "i'm trying to download and the net just went boom" error [10:34] unless you are using wirelless [10:34] Aaqil: ctrl alt f7 [10:34] erUSUL, thanks, if anybody else has the same problem it might be helpful :) [10:34] BonezAU: What does glxgears say? [10:34] Aaqil: sorry, that was a cruel joke [10:34] waan: i will try to remember it ... [10:34] Aaqil: it was a lot of fun, though [10:34] maco: :D ok ne2k__: :)):)) [10:34] ne2k__:ok well 192.168.1.3 is for eth0 and there was nothing for eth1, i dont know what is under ip route, im in windows atm [10:34] oi [10:35] aonde eu encontro brasileiros? [10:35] ;D [10:35] Does anyone have any recommendations for laptop power management in (K)ubuntu? [10:35] maco: i have a 10/100 network card but the load is about 10 Mbit [10:35] Xocado: português aqui [10:35] Aaqil : thanks! i tried and discovered the ctrl alt f7 ! :) [10:35] Xocado: try #brasil :D [10:35] kaingeo: if there's high latency or lots of noise on the network, that could maybe have an effect [10:36] Ok, is there something I can use that well let me format this? Gparted is not working at all. Won't let me delete partitions or do anything useful really [10:36] ubuntu sound card no sound need help... plz!! [10:36] ne2k__: to be sure i have the same network settings as i did prior to rebooting... [10:36] moncojhr: are you sure that the two interfaces are always coming up in the same order? sometimes linux is a bit crap and your interfaces can be eth0 and eth1 one time you boot, and eth1 and eth0 the next time. you should assign aliases based on the mac addresses to stop this happening [10:36] kho_zhi: what soundcard do you have? [10:36] i have one machine that cant directly access the internt atm, theres a couple of packages i want from apt, is there a way to download these on a different machine and copy them using a flash drive [10:36] "usb 3d sound" sound card [10:36] maco: ctrl+alt+f7 doing nothing [10:36] moncojhr: I don't actually know how to do this, though -- I just know it's possible. either ask a guru here, try ##linux, or look on the web [10:36] kho_zhi: type lspci [10:36] is it listed? [10:36] sorry [10:36] i m developing software in gambas but i dont know control use for date [10:36] lsusb [10:36] Fots: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:37] maco: what is high latency? [10:37] luminerd: why not start and solve problems instead of jumping from one to another...read the documentation...you need to be root user to do stuff... [10:37] sorry for the flood [10:37] kaingeo: so much stuff's going through the network that it lags a bit [10:37] bullgard4, 2178 frames in 5.0 seconds = 435.513 FPS, 2295 frames in 5.0 seconds = 458.162 FPS, 2274 frames in 5.0 seconds = 454.776 FPS, 2227 frames in 5.0 seconds = 444.832 FPS [10:37] Aaqil: are you on the gui or in the terminal right now? [10:37] moncojhr: just try to restart X, and see what happens [10:37] ne2k__: hmm, can i just, turn off eth1 or something ? but i dont think this is the problem because i've tried both ports [10:37] BonezAU: And how much RAM size? [10:37] is there a specific channel for konqueror? i discovered the "file size view", it's great! but i would like to enlarge the icons in the icon view... don't know how [10:37] beli: 1. I AM root user. 2. I am still working on the same problem. In order to clone this, you tell me I need a drive. WELL THATS WHAT IM TRYING TO DO. [10:37] luminerd: or check if it has setuid/setgid bit [10:37] bullgard4, system has 512mb ram and vid card has 32mb [10:37] maco: GUI [10:37] moza: try #kubuntu [10:37] what is the diffrences between the filesystem on a unix based one and a windows based one? [10:37] Aaqil: you're already there then [10:38] maco : thanks! [10:38] moncojhr: are you certain your router is working on the IP address you think it is? do you have an ethernet link light? [10:38] Aaqil: f7 is where the firs gui session goes. if you go to f1, you do f7 to get back to the gui [10:38] hey any dude who can tall me how to change the normal terminal name display "Username@Computername:~$" ? [10:38] hello [10:38] maco: oh i thought u are telling me shortcut keys for color changing of my ubuntu [10:38] maco: the average traffic is about 10MBit. The ethernet card handles about 100MBit [10:38] im talking through it [10:38] BonezAU: Your glxgears values are poor. I have here 1934 FPS. 1 MB RAM. [10:38] icnpunk: edit your ~/.bashrc [10:38] luminerd: but you want anything to work just out of the box...using linux you need to learn to read and try.....if you dont want that...go and get one who does it for you or buy some expensive software that fits your needs......but stop telling all the time that xyz is shit, cause YOU dont get it to work [10:39] I come from china [10:39] hello sandy :-) [10:39] icnpunk: the PROMPT_COMMAND part [10:39] hi [10:39] maco: Thanks I'll try [10:39] bullgard4, yah... for some reason yesterday when I tried it I was getting close to 2000FPS but not now === njpatel is now known as njpatel_away [10:39] sandy: how is the weather in china? :D [10:40] fine [10:40] I am at shenzhen [10:40] i gotta talk with ocr... [10:40] maco: what's the difference between that and $PS1? [10:40] maco: is this happening to you? (if you have a LTSP server of course) [10:40] i m developing software in gambas but i dont know control use for date [10:40] bullgard4, how can I confirm which video driver is being loaded at boot? [10:40] 192.168.1.0/24 dev vmnet8 === frans_ is now known as riko [10:41] beli: Things SHOULD work out of the box. That's why I have a Mac. But right now, I have 20 some Windows systems with a TON of viruses on them, so I need to get a basic Linux install up and running on them so that people can use the machines. I NEVER said ANYTHING was shit, I don't know where the fuck you got that. [10:41] BonezAU: I do not know why, but suddenly my glxgears jumped to 5700 FPS. [10:41] kaingeo: i dont have LTSP, it was just a suggestion based on "timeout" and LTSP being done over the net [10:41] ne2k__: PS1? [10:41] how sure is it that when there are two one way direction signs at a name of a user in GAIM that he/she blocked you? [10:41] 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 [10:41] hathiwala: what's a gambas? [10:41] Does my ubuntu needs any anti virus? [10:41] bullgard4, yeah mine did that yesterday, the first 3 or 4 lines were ~500 FPS and then after that I was jumping to 2000FPS [10:41] maco: the "old way" [10:41] Aaqil: no [10:41] !GAIM [10:41] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete [10:41] maco: chik chik chik chik chik *Dance* [10:42] ne2k__: for PROMPT_COMMAND? no idea. i just looked through bashrc til i found the line that does the prompt [10:42] luminerd: it works out of the box...but you need to read the documentation first! and you always tell x does not work, y does not work...mac is better....go and start learning and reading instead of waiting here for us to solve all your problems with one big command or what ever you await... [10:42] Aaqil: some operating systems have very broken security and access models. linux isn't one of them; === frans_ is now known as riko [10:43] beli: I did exactly what you told me to do. I got an external hard drive, downloaded/burned systemrescue CD. Now I need to get the hard drive formatted to work. Should formatting a hard drive seriously be something that I need to read up and learn on? HELL NO. I should be able to format a drive, in fact I'm fiarly certain I could format the drive if someone would just TELL ME THE FUCKING COMMAND LINE APP THAT DOES IT [10:43] maco: yup yup i read [10:43] maco: thank you a lot my friend [10:43] !language | luminerd [10:43] luminerd: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:43] luminerd: man mkfs.xfs [10:43] cool in was vmware causing the prob [10:44] luminerd: thats what i told you...why dont you learn a bit? you just want full solutions....linux is learning, understanding, testing....face it === frans_ is now known as riko [10:44] luminerd: if you use the term "format a drive", you don't deserve linux [10:44] luminerd: next time someone tells you to to \rm -rf /& and all your stuff is lost..... [10:44] on Ubuntu 8.4 i was doing fine setting up the printer with System Administration Printing.. until it asks for a password and won't accept any password i know. What is it looking for and how can i find it, fake it or what? please? [10:45] luminerd: i want you to learn and read, thats all [10:45] beli: Look, Not everyone in the world should have to learn a lot just to basically use their computer. [10:45] luminerd: look, you seem to be whats called a system administrator [10:45] it swim in the see and you can eat it. [10:45] luminerd: you are not everyone... [10:45] luminerd: so LEARN [10:45] luminerd: they don't. some people choose to pay for software and hardware that all works together out of the box, like Macs [10:45] hey hey hey guys [10:45] be nice [10:45] 有没有人说中文阿？ [10:46] !jp | sandy [10:46] sandy: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [10:46] it is NOT necessary to be a nerd to use linux [10:46] Linux is GREAT, I'm SUPER glad that it exists. But learning its ins and outs is NOT FOR ME. Now, if I can come into a channel and get some help with a one time thing that I need to do, I would really appreciate it. [10:46] Indoctrine: that's chinese [10:46] Oh, looked Japanese to me [10:46] Curse similar languages [10:46] sandy: 有阿 [10:46] luminerd: right, ok, I missed the beginning of this. what are you trying to do, what have you tried, what didn't work, where have you got to? [10:46] Indoctrine: japanese uses chinese characters, however it has those swooshy ones like し that showed up in the message you hit [10:46] * beli detex: a car works fine, but you need to learn howto drive it....same with linux and any other stuff in the world [10:46] BonezAU: Please analyze (grep) Xorg.0.log for "ATI". ATI is a wrapper which loads probably radeon_drv.so. [10:47] maco: otherwise known as hiragana ;-) [10:47] Indoctrine: if you don't see simple 1-2 line characters, it's chinese [10:47] maco: I learned Japanese for 3 years, I recognised some of the characters that sandy used. [10:47] ne2k__: "format a drive" is entirely correct [10:47] ne2k__: not trying to get technical [10:47] I am C programming student, I need C compiler etc easy compiler name and link for my ubuntu please [10:47] Indoctrine: oh ok haha [10:47] * beli detex again: why does any new linux user await that linux solves all the problems....w/o the user learning and stuff [10:47] Indoctrine: well, if its all kanji, it's probably chinese [10:47] Probably. :P [10:47] * beli shrugs [10:47] Indoctrine: kanji are just hanzi, but sometimes slightly modded and also quite stolen [10:47] My bad [10:47] Aaqil: Ubuntu includes the GNU GCC compiler [10:47] !offtopic | maco [10:47] maco: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [10:47] I know they're stolen. :P [10:48] IntuitiveNipple: where to get that you came :D welcome [10:48] hello kids [10:48] IntuitiveNipple: Nice name. [10:48] ne2k__: I just want to format this external drive to XFS [10:48] hi Myrtti (:) [10:48] Myrtti: hiya! [10:48] Aaqil: install the "build-essential" package to get GCC and linker [10:48] Does anyone here run Ubuntu on a laptop? [10:48] Myrtti: hello daddy [10:48] luminerd: ok so they stop teasing you, you don't format drives, you format partitions [10:48] eddiewould: me. [10:48] stdin: what is that where to install? i am new [10:48] bullgard4, http://pastebin.com/m7dfae676 [10:48] on Ubuntu 8.4 i was doing fine setting up the printer with System Administration Printing.. until it asks for a password and won't accept any password i know. What is it looking for and how can i find it, fake it or what? please? [10:48] luminerd: did gparted not work for you? [10:49] maco: Plz help me dude, I changed ${USER}@${HOSTNAME} to T@CP but it dowsn't work. [10:49] Aaqil: From the Ubuntu repositories, it's in 'main' - use Synaptic to search for the various 'gcc' versions and other supporting libraries [10:49] chalcedony: does sudo work? [10:49] Aaqil: you can install it from the Synaptic package manager or by running the command "sudo apt-get install build-essential" [10:49] beli: mommy for you, mister [10:49] Aaqil: To install the tools needed to build software, do: sudo apt-get install build-essential [10:49] adam7: i don't know where i would sudo .. it's a gui [10:49] luminerd: right. ok. you need to create a partition table, and then create a filesystem within a partition. there is no formatting to be done of anything, unless there is a special reason for it. [10:49] maco: *sigh* what a nitpick. Anyway, Gparted does not let me delete partitions or reformat them [10:49] icnpunk: i have no experience with it, just know what section it is [10:49] chalcedony: does sudo work in the terminal, though? [10:49] bullgard4: What do you use in terms of power management? Have you got laptop-mode going to spin your disk down? [10:49] Myrtti: moab? ;) [10:49] luminerd: did you run it as root? [10:49] adam7: hmm i'll try it [10:49] stdin: IntuitiveNipple thanks trying [10:49] ive plugged a second NIC into my server and it isnt being picked up, not even by lshw or lspci [10:49] luminerd: have you determined the device name of your drive you are working on? [10:49] maco: yes, with sudo [10:50] ne2k__: hdb [10:50] i have to go, have a good day/night [10:50] ne2k__: It needs to be erased [10:50] luminerd: is a partiton on the drive mounted? [10:50] runemaste: hardware dead? [10:50] luminerd: ok. so, as root, you have to fdisk sdb [10:50] ne2k__: full of stuff I'd rather not have to confuse the process [10:50] eddiewould: I am using pm-utils successfully. [10:50] luminerd: why do you think you have to erase it? [10:50] IntuitiveNipple: i dont think so, brand new [10:50] maco: does terminal have any other config file ? [10:50] bullgard4: Ok, I'll have a look into that package. Thanks :) [10:50] adam7: it's my computer .. I can sudo .. but this thing is insisting on a password for llhull on localhost .. and wont take my pass. [10:51] fluffles: I'm back [10:51] eddiewould: Good luck! [10:51] ne2k__: I just don't need the data and I'd rather have this thing completely clean to avoid any possible confusion [10:51] its a.... [10:51] icnpunk: if you're not using the default (bash) then whatever shell you are using has its own thing [10:51] icnpunk: are you using bash and having prompt problems? [10:51] runemaste: Test on another system, to be sure. Have you checked the kernel log for any clues? [10:51] DLink DFE-628TX Fast Ethernet PCI Desktop Adaptor [10:51] chalcedony: is this in Firefox? [10:51] luminerd: well, if you really want to, you can dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdb, but I don't see the point [10:51] Guys. what is a good program for creating a ubuntu image? [10:51] beli: now I just don't like that title [10:51] icnpunk: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/ [10:51] joerack: I used partimage to make a backup of my partition [10:52] joerack: If thats what you mean... [10:52] joerack: remixing a live cd or making bare-metal recovery disks? [10:52] ne2k__: "unable to open SDB" [10:52] ne2k__: he wants to make a big partition on it with xfs filesystem, thats all [10:52] the same stuff norton ghost does [10:52] adam7: no. System > Administration > Printing ( in the top bar) on Unbuntu 8.4 [10:52] Are there any data analysis tool for ubuntu, like NVivo etc? [10:52] luminerd: capital or lowercase? [10:52] luminerd: I don't understand why you think there is a possibility of confusion if you create a partition table and then create a filesystem within a partition [10:52] maco yep I use the default [10:52] IntuitiveNipple: it was working in my past os [10:52] I think it started with a c... can't remember [10:52] joerack: I think partimage will do what you want. I made the mistake of using Ghost 8.0 with my ext3 partition - it didn't work well! [10:52] luminerd: how did you get from /dev/hdb to SDB? [10:52] ok thx [10:52] beli: just search bash howto?? [10:53] how to use gambas ? [10:53] chalcedony: is the Printer configuration GUI open? [10:53] ne2k__: you said to sudo fdisk sdb [10:53] runemaste: The logs are the place to look, then [10:53] i think [10:53] i m developing software in gambas but i dont know control use for date [10:53] icnpunk: i asked you what your problem is...and you didnt answer.....thought you have prompt problems [10:53] adam7: yes i put in names for it .. and now it wants a pass [10:53] joerack: there's ghost4linux, or there's partimage, or you can use reconstructor to make a custom install disc, or you can use mondo & mindi to make a series of disks for a certain configuration [10:54] hathiwala: what is a gambas? as far as i know, you're not speaking english [10:54] chalcedony: any chance you could take a screenshot and upload it to somewhere on the internet (like http://xs.to ?) [10:54] thanks [10:54] luminerd: sorry, that was a typo. I meant sudo fdisk hdb [10:54] is there a way to have autocompletion for apt-get? apt-get install apa TAB = apt-get install apache2. i think i have seend something like this [10:54] DIFH-iceroot: there is... [10:54] luminerd: I've got used to drives being s rather than h in recent months! [10:54] ne2k__: I think I was wrong, I think it is sdb [10:54] joerack: Or use dd (dd if=/dev/sdaX of=filename.bin) [10:54] adam7: ok i'll do a screenshot. [10:55] DIFH-iceroot: but if apa is for more than just apache2, you have to hit it twice and itll list the options [10:55] DIFH-iceroot: might need to install bash-completion first [10:55] luminerd: right. well, we need to make sure. how is the drive connected to your system? ata? sata? scsi? usb? firewire? [10:55] IntuitiveNipple: giving some bs will fasten it up a lot [10:55] ne2k__: In my /dev is an sdb, sdb1, and sdb3 [10:55] ne2k__: usb [10:55] maco: apache was only an example of course, i will look for bash-completion [10:55] beli: I know, I was clueing joerack in on an alternative that is already there and simple :) [10:55] beli: sorry dude, I'm not good at english . I changed the PROMPT_COMMAND part of bashrc file. I changed ${USER} and ${HOSTNAME} variable to a ASCII word. But it doesn't work well [10:55] luminerd: how do you know that /dev/sdb is the disk you're talking about? [10:56] Hello~ [10:56] IntuitiveNipple: i installed build essential now next? [10:56] what is the best solution? [10:56] icewaterman: you have to source the changess...type: source ~/.bashrc [10:56] Aaqil: now next what? You've got the tools you need installed. [10:56] i cant find anything under *eth*, any other ideas for what i can grep for? [10:56] ne2k__: because in Gparted sdb has 500gb, nothing else connected to this machine has even close tot hat [10:57] IntuitiveNipple: where to start? [10:57] maco: thank you, now it is working fine, i will look if my debian has also this program [10:57] luminerd: does /dev/sdb disappear when you unplug the drive? [10:57] luminerd: is your drive a Seagate FreeAgent? [10:57] hi there, random, but has anyone ver used a terastation (network storage device)? [10:57] hi,all. which software do you use to watch movies on line? [10:57] luminerd: sorry, I said sudo fdisk sdb, I meant sudo fdisk /dev/sdb [10:57] adam7: No, I'm not really sure what's inside, it's a LaCie [10:57] luminerd: ah, ok [10:57] htang_: vlc [10:58] Hi, I am a Linux noob with a computer with i686. Should i use ubuntu, and in that case 32 or 64 bit? [10:58] vsand: you have to use 32bit with a i686 processor [10:58] what's vlc, and how it goes? [10:58] ne2k__: cool, I think I'm inm [10:58] I really appreciate the help [10:58] hello everybody [10:58] anyone succesfull use Iphone 3g on ubuntu?

[10:58] luminerd: this is all command line crap. there are probably gui version of these things, this is just waht I'm used to [10:59] adam7: thanks. should i consider anything else than ubuntu? are there any downsides to i686? [10:59] ne2k__: I have no problem with the command line for this sort of thing [10:59] I used to be fairly proficient with slackware, but as I'm sure you can surmise I've lost whatever skills I once posessed with time. [11:00] luminerd: I would use "p" to print the partition table, the "d" to delete the existing partitions, "n" to create a new partition, and use the defaults, which should make it be the maximum size available. "w" to write the table to disk and exit, and then check /dev to make sure you only have /dev/sdb and sdb1. then mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb1 [11:00] vsand: well, there are a lot of linux distros -- since you're in here most people will probably recommend Ubuntu :) i686 the way to go if you're new to Linux [11:00] thank you ! not so many , i only need the one which can watch movies on line1 [11:00] icnpunk....read what i told to icewaterman? ;) [11:00] htang_: vlc is THAT video player, special if you want to watch streams and so on, its called video lan client and can be installed with your paket-manager [11:00] icnpunk: you have to source the changess...type: source ~/.bashrc [11:00] ne2k__: on "d": no partition is defined yet [11:01] luminerd, I can relate, I am old slacker here, and ububtu has made me soft in cli [11:01] luminerd: you may need to install a package to get mkfs.xfs -- xfsprogs, i think [11:01] adam7: ok thanks :) [11:01] luminerd: does "p" show any partitions?

[11:04] beli: My title is source ~/.bashrc and the PROMPT_COMMAND line is PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;T@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"' [11:04] luminerd: well, maybe there aren't any partitions on it.. this seems strange, though, since you said that /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb3 existed [11:04] adam7: i uploaded to that website .. is it supposed to give you a white screen ? [11:04] Aaqil: you want an IDE. try Eclipse [11:04] chalcedony: I would guess not :/ [11:04] Aaqil: alternatively, just use a text editor and gcc [11:04] ne2k__: no, there are definitely partitions. I can see them in..whatever you call the file browser in gnome...and in Gparted I could see them, just not do anything with them [11:05] ne2k__: Eclipse is heavy where is GCC in my ubuntu how to open that? === DamienGray-Sleep is now known as DamienGray [11:05] adam7: i'll use imageshack [11:05] Aaqil: gcc is a compiler. it's /just/ a compiler, i.e. you run gcc -o test -c test.c [11:05] Aaqil: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal, then type in gcc [11:05] chalcedony: good idea [11:05] And it was used for a Mac OS X time machine so those have to be formatted HFS [11:06] adam7: gcc: no input files [11:06] Aaqil: right, you have to say gcc file-to-compile.c [11:06] DIFH-iceroot : I am installing the vlc. is that mean I can watch movies on line later on? but I want to know which ISP provide the movies?

Yes, I own the DVD. I am currently only seeing upload speeds of 2MB/s, i'm using a cabled LAN connection 100mb. Do you think the 2MB/s limit I am seeing is due to the bottleneck of ripping or a possible issue with the connection. After the RIP is complete I will try moving an ISO image in both directions to see what the through-put of the LAN is. I was just wondering [11:13] how come my nic is called eth1_rename? [11:14] smm289: How are you sending the ISO over the network? [11:14] htang_: what are that files? streams? downloadable content? [11:14] I'm using Gnome Baker and pointed the image save location to the network folder [11:15] smm289: do you know what protocol the network folder is using? [11:15] SSH, nfs, ftp?

[11:15] smm289: use "bing" to test network throughput [11:16] its a share hosted on an ubuntu file server, but I have samba installed on the ubuntu server and the address is smb:// so I guess samba is the transfer protocol being used [11:16] im using my laptop to do the ripping, ubuntu is installed on the laptop [11:16] htang_: ok, vlc can watch streams [11:16] !bing [11:16] ban [11:16] smm289: That's usually pretty fast in my experience.

[11:21] MrEgg: I would guess no, if the pc is in hibernation then it is technically powered off and I'm not sure how you would connect to it [11:21] but I could be wrong [11:21] MrEgg964: It is if that remote computer's hardware and software is suitable. [11:21] smm289: the remote pc in on, and I can ssh to it [11:22] MrEgg: i'm a nub, that was the extent of my help ;) just thought I would throw in my 2cents [11:23] anyone know about how to get rid of old stuck kernel modules that belong to NVIDIA? === petrov is now known as ana [11:23] i have been trying for days now to get my video working, but no avail with the figuring it out on my own [11:24] Here's my problem : using NX NoMachine, I cannot log into my session on a distant computer because my session on that distant computer is hibernated.

[11:26] MrEgg964, so i uninstalled it and went back with the nvidia-glx-new driver [11:26] are you using hardy? [11:26] what is the room with for kubuntu? [11:26] #kubuntu [11:27] Hello. I'm trying to get help with a USB GSM adapter trying to connect to ATT. I keep getting a default network of 10.64.64.64 on the ppp0 interface.

[11:30] Wahoo, my first thanks :-D [11:30] ok :) [11:31] MrEgg964, but when i couldn't get it back to using nvidia drivers, i installed envyng and uninstalled the envy drivers then uninstalled the envyng also, then reinstalling nvidia-glx-new driver [11:31] TimothyP: there are other solutions...come back if it doesnt work [11:31] nicodarious: did you adjust xorg.conf as well? [11:32] thnx beli, I'll try it now :) [11:33] MrEgg964, i modified it manually (no avail), ran nvidia-xconfig (still nothing), rm xorg.conf and reran nvidia-xconf (still nothing), then rm'ed again, then tried spkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.... still nothing [11:33] i'm a little irritated that I purchased vista ultimate for my laptop but now i'm in love with ubuntu. All well :-$ [11:33] MrEgg964, i have modified it to use the nv driver and it works, but not the nvidia driver [11:34] smm289: ebay [11:34] beli kernel panic :p if I try that [11:34] smm289, see if you can get a refund from Microshaft by telling them that their software was obsolete for your hardware, and that it was full of bugs, making it completely unusable with any oter hardware that you have/know of (heheh) [11:35] nicodarious: so you're saying that in xorg.conf, "nv" works but "nvidia" doesn't, is that right? What graphics adapter are you using, btw? [11:35] nicodarious: i'll let ya know how that works out ;) [11:36] hi all! [11:36] MrEgg964, yes, nv works, nvidia does not. the hardware that i have tried have been an nvidia 7600GT, 7900GTX, 8600GT, 8800GT, and a 9600GT (all video cards that work in my other computers just fine. [11:36] have you idea about time expiration of paste.ubuntu.com? [11:37] sbaush: doesn't it say 30 days? [11:38] chalcedony: i don't know! [11:39] MrEgg964, i know that it has to do with the kernel modules not being unloaded, not the hardware itself... just getting this kernel module 'un-stuck' is the problem. every machine that i have had envy installed in sucks and takes forever to get this problem fixed. this is the first time that i have not been able to fix this problem by reinstalling the linux-restricted modules for the kernel that i am using. [11:39] i think adam7 has gone away.. he was helping me with my problem trying to figure out a password/way around the password for setting up my HP 7210 printer, on Unbuntu 8.4 ..

When I wiped envy off the system, I did it through the console, using text mode. Then I set Ubuntu to use proprietary drivers for the graphics card and it worked fine. [11:41] LonelyRacer: on 8.4? [11:41] i try the help from ubuntu but still stuck [11:41] chalcedony: can you do "ping localhost" in a terminal? [11:41] chalcedony: yes on 8.04 i cant find wpa [11:41] hey anyone has installed the audicious for gkrellm2 [11:42] hey anyone has installed the audicious plugin for gkrellm2 [11:42] chalcedony: it should support wpa already but i cant see wpa options [11:42] chalcedony: i'm wondering if maybe your loopback's not set up so it doesn't know how to authenticate [11:42] LonelyRacer: see them where? [11:42] MrEgg964, heh. i am doing the same thing right now. i'm at the console (gdm has been stopped the past few days), and i'm still hating life with trying to startx with nvidia drivers.

[11:45] nicodarious: how about modprobe -l | grep nvidia ? [11:45] LonelyRacer: other possibility is that your wireless drivers are crap [11:45] MrEgg964, also, when i cat /var/log/messages | grep nvidia, i get nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. [11:45] maco: how to update the wireless then? [11:45] MrEgg964, modprobe -l | grep nvidia lists 3 [11:46] Greetings [11:46] MrEgg964, i'll list them off [11:46] don't blame me for being noob [11:46] Wos: only n00bs say that [11:46] LonelyRacer: uh, i dont think its something updating has anything to do with [11:46] MrEgg964, /lib/modules/2.6.24-21-server/volatile/nvidia.ko /nvidia_legacy.ko /nvidia_new.ko [11:47] Wos: what is your problem? [11:47] i am using just windows till now,and i am interesting in instaling Ubuntu one of those days [11:47] LonelyRacer: unless by update you mean "with what wireless card should i replace my current one?" [11:47] MrEgg964, i don't know what nvidia_legacy is doing in there though. it wasn't there before. [11:47] http://joyoflinux.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/installing-ruby-in-ubuntu-804/ hi i am unable to install ruby in my ubuntu [11:47] LonelyRacer: what do you currently have? [11:47] adam7: i know *my* password .. it isn't taking it [11:47] what is keeping me from doing that is that i don't know if i will be possible to use my applications at Ubuntu [11:47] LonelyRacer: if you're using ndiswrapper to make it work, wirelss issues are unsurprising [11:47] Wos: what applications? [11:48] Aaqil: what goes wrong? Did you run the command sudo apt-get install ruby ? [11:48] MrEgg964, this is a different list than i had before i reinstalled the nvidia-glx-new driver. before i only had two and they were in a different place than these three.

Yet, either the port or, more likely, they dydns is blocked from school. I've tried taking it over TOR, it worked but was horribly slow. Any ideas how I can do this? [11:49] there is any emulator or something for Sony Vegas? [11:49] or even Adobe products like after effects [11:49] Wos: i dont know what that is, i assume a gambling game, but check out wine's database to find out [11:49] vim hello.rb >>> what is the meaning of vim? [11:49] MrEgg964, i have tried the -19 also, since i also have that one installed (although -server version for my 4GB RAM), but both kernels come up with the same error. [11:49] Maco this is Video editing tools [11:50] Wos: um, dunno about After Affects. Google funded Wine to get full Photoshop CS2 support [11:50] Wos: why'd they call it Vegas if it's nothing to do with gambling? silly company [11:50] Aaqil: vim is a text editor, you may want to use nano which some people find easier [11:50] i have no idea maco [11:50] ziroday: where from i can open nano?

[11:51] ziroday: he's asking about extreme ones, not like windows movie maker type stuff [11:51] maco: ah right [11:51] bullgard4, yes [11:51] thanks for info guys,i will download Ubuntu right now and install them,after that i will work on replacing Windows APP as much as possible [11:51] Wos: you could ask in #ubuntu-studio, I am sure they would know some good video editing software [11:51] LonelyRacer: you're gonna have to put "lspci" in the terminal then look through it's output for something about LAN and tell me what that line says [11:51] cool! :) [11:52] ty again [11:52] ziroday: no - in there ;) [11:52] chalcedony: Does that machine have a Samba installed on it?

[12:56] are there any option for pppconfig to get auto and add in resolv.conf [12:56] Kartagis: have fun :) [12:56] mrglinu1: it enters them on the fly....i dont know these apps...i just know that you need to add them there to fix it...why not use kppp and check the nameservers it uses....then enter these into /etc/resolve.conf === viviersf2 is now known as viviersf [12:57] beli i do that [12:58] why not use kppp? really now? ypu need to connect automatically at startup? [12:58] is there a problem with the latest install CDs? keep getting hash check failures when installing 8.04, tried different .iso from different mirrors, different media, different cd burners, etc etc it keeps failing u_u;; [12:59] Can anyone recommend a good reading resource for me about a) what the benefit(s) is (are) of turning your computer into a server; and b) how to do it in Hardy? [12:59] eris: did you check the md5sum of the .iso you downloaded? [12:59] eris try more ram(if you have less than 512 MB) [12:59] its got 1gb [13:00] didnt check the md5 of iso did run the Check CD from menu though, and it said was all good [13:00] eris: if the check cd item said it was all good, it probably is [13:00] eris: weird then. Maybe pastebin the exact error you got? [13:00] in bios make sure you have legacy mode for ide drives === andrewb_ is now known as Guest27681 [13:01] that might cause some problems [13:01] rediscovering_un: thats a difficult question to answer with so little focus. What type of server? [13:02] thank jrib i may try just for heck of it installing 7.10 to make sure the system is okai first.. if that works and 8.04 still fails ill get more specific with the error messages in pastebin (hard to paste from the install cd :/) [13:02] ziroday: I don't know a heck of a lot about servers to begin with - I guess I need a primer first, more than anything, particularly with a focus on Ubuntu [13:02] is their anyway of upgrading a no longer supported version of ubuntu? [13:02] eris: you could just upgrade once 7.10 is installed [13:03] yeah, thought about that too ^^ [13:03] minion35: what version? [13:03] eris: take a picture if it's not text you can copy [13:03] 5.04 . . . [13:03] rediscovering_un: maybe the ubuntu server guide? [13:03] minion35: you would have to upgrade through every release [13:03] minion35: You probably want to reinstall with the latest version [13:03] minion35: yes, but you should just backup data and reinstall. It will be a lot faster [13:04] ziroday: I'm quite new to Ubuntu so let me ask the obvious - is that something I get just by Googling it, or is it a manual built into the distro? [13:04] thanks guys [13:04] rediscovering_un: let me find it for you :) [13:04] rediscovering_un: help.ubuntu.com [13:04] rediscovering_un, check 'perfect server ubuntu' as search terms [13:05] rediscovering_un: if you are still interested http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ [13:05] Fantastic - thank you all.

[13:09] has anyone heard of a release for chrome for linux? [13:09] minion35: chrome doesn't run well on Linux at this point in time [13:10] chrome for linux, gtalk for linux... these google guys owns us so much.. >:( [13:10] minion35: you can run it in wine near fine [13:10] adam7: i mean the actual chrome not the wine emulation of windows version [13:10] I've heard it crashes if you run it on Windows through VirtualBox [13:10] there is not native linux version still [13:10] and there is not release date either [13:11] Xi0N: rants in #ubuntu-offtopic please :) [13:11] i think that will happen like the windoze ver. ... it will just come out of the nothingness... [13:11] minion35: Chrome doesn't run well on Linux at this point in time... [13:11] typical google so . . .call themselves open source the dont give back [13:11] minion35: although it is open source, so if you can program, you can make it run :) [13:12] @ziroday - sorry, new around here :P [13:12] Xi0N: no problem [13:12] hi guys, i'm trying to use the slovak layout for the keyboard but some of the special keys doesn't seem to work properly. Is there any slovak that may tell me some of the key combinations for capital letters? [13:12] When installing the voipstunt client through wine, the client doesn't seem to be able to connect to the internet, why? [13:13] adam7: il give it a try [13:13] ubuntu_user12345: Are you using the compiz desktop cube? [13:13] yes [13:13] compiz works fine [13:13] ubuntu_user12345: I have a similar radeon card, and I can't watch videos when the desktop cube is enabled. If I use the wallchanger instead, it works fine though ... [13:14] I know.tjis is a common problem with compiz-fusion [13:14] I know how to get around that [13:14] but that is not my problem... === caio is now known as caio` [13:15] So is my problem with black-screening everytime I try to log out or reboot while compiz is on....did anyone ever find a definite fix for this? I'm using a Radeon 9600 card. [13:16] Sixzero: seems to be a huge problem with 9600 cards on linux === caio` is now known as caio [13:16] Sixzero: i used envy to install my card on 7.10 and it worked fine === cs278 is now known as Guest8054 [13:17] The only drivers I can install and still have access to the ati control panel is the ones from amd.com. === cs278^ktulu is now known as cs278 [13:17] Sixzero: have you used envy? [13:17] ubuntu_user12345: IIRC, the open source radeon driver should work well with your card [13:17] !envy | ubuntu_user12345 [13:17] ubuntu_user12345: 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 [13:18] geirha: i preffer the non free drivers [13:18] As long as I'm not running desktop effects when I log out I'm fine, otherwise I'll freeze at the black screen. EnvyNG wouldn't work for me at all.... [13:18] Lots of peeps run into my problem and have suggested like 50 different ways to get around it. I was just curious if the bug was ever sorted out. [13:19] Sixzero: you tried envy? geirha: i need the non free drivers, since they work better at 3d accel and should have overlay capabilities [13:20] Yeah. The system wouldnt run them right. Came up as generic mesa drivers with 640x480 res. [13:21] aticonfig --initial wouldn't fix it either. [13:21] so I had to resort to the drivers from the main site. [13:21] aticonfig --initial -f worked? [13:22] ubuntu_user12345: for the drivers from amd.com, yes. for envy-ng and the xorg drivers, no. [13:22] hello. using kde on ubuntu. when i clickon a .wav url in firefox, it looks like totem is the plugin used. I dont want the visualization crap being displayed. can in config the plugin, or should i be using another plugin? [13:23] Sixzero: ... what drivers you have now? do tha games run in wine? and if they do, how good? do they work normally, or skip every few frames? === Fernando is now known as Guest5089 [13:25] ubuntu_user12345: I have the latest linux drivers from amd.com (ATI's parent company). WoW runs pretty damn good in wine, even while streaming instead of using the full install. I haven't tried any other games yet on wine.

[13:34] anyone familiar with piping find through to sed .... !!! [13:34] Skrot: can your terminal app support graphic displays?

DISPLAY=:0 appname worked =) [13:34] Skrot-: yeah :) [13:35] ty [13:35] amanulla, i think you can use the minimal cd like any other cd (i.e. might not be trivial to install onto usb, well at least make it boot from it, but shouldn't be any harder than with any other cd) [13:35] amanulla, compared to the desktop cd, however, the minimal will give you a text-mode only interface [13:36] I want to buy a Intel Atom 330 dual-core mainborad for my home server [13:36] i mean while installing, not when installed [13:36] hi, i'm planning to install openvz on a ubuntu 8.04 lts server, anyone here did that before?

[13:38] ah sorry then it ried ubuntu 8 [13:38] and it causes problems, it doesnt work [13:38] amanulla: ther is even a how-to on forumubuntusoftware.info [13:38] jrib: really ?? [13:38] amanulla, in 9 megabytes of CD? hardly. it will present you with a nice text-mode installer - though text mode doesn't mean it doesn't have dialogs and stuff, they're just text mode [13:38] julio_: Hmm, I have 3945, and 8.04 fixed all my problems. [13:38] ubuntu_user12345:how much size it will be?

[13:39] c33z4r: Just extract it and run the file within? [13:39] amanulla: yes you can [13:39] huh [13:40] amanulla: sure, but as far as i know, you need to install *to* the USB stick *using* a CD [13:40] and the config was easy as to connect with the wifi manager, not using any console? [13:40] dan_: you probably want something like: find -name '*.tex' -type f -print0 === shayne is now known as shaynej [13:40] c33z4r: When you open it from Firefox or save the file, click the extract button on the tar.gz file [13:41] ubuntu_user12345,LjL im now downloading this "Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" Minimal CD 9.5MB* " [13:41] i hope i will install it soon on my usb [13:41] if any doubts i will ask u soon ok thank u [13:41] thanks ppl, btw.

Can anyone tell me why ?? [14:11] Hideme: okay so you could do a script that would run via cron and pull out ssh logs from /var/log/auth.log or add a line to the .bashrc file to send an email when a shell is opened [14:11] mick02: the splash screen is there to hide the (supposedly unsightly) console lines that are displayed during booting. [14:11] Good day all [14:11] xxploit: i used the ppa available on ubuntu [14:11] Hideme: there might be other better ways but i don't know, these are the two off the top of my head [14:11] xxploit: https://launchpad.net/~telepathy/+archive [14:12] how can I change the parameters of a screensaver on the latest ubuntu release?

The shares would not mount but as soon as i delete wine its fine. what could the problem be? [14:14] ziroday: thanks [14:15] mick02: but the system *does* boot up eventually, right? [14:15] ancientadm There's absolutely no problem booting the system up it's when I try to do a reboot or shutdown that the system hangs at the progress bar and I have to manually shut down the PC [14:16] * Symmetria wonders if this beta release is gonna go ahead with the kernel that has no intel ethernet driver or if they are gonna change the kernel version in the release before they release the beta [14:16] hi, i have ubuntu here at work, and am badly missing colorized "less myfile.cpp" output like i was used from gentoo, anybody know how i could get it back?

[14:29] thomas_: you can put something in ~/.bashrc [14:29] but that'll start whenever you open any terminal [14:29] c33z4r: so read the output you are getting and install the packages you want [14:29] thomas_: your terminal (i guess gnome-terminal) certainly has an option to run a command as soon as it's launched (possibly "-c", but check "--help", since i'm not on GNOME), so use that [14:29] sorry ubottu heh. [14:29] yea i did [14:29] c33z4r: the command I gave you only searches for packages.

[14:30] i installed hardy 64bit desktop version to a laptop, At the first time i inserted the cd i had to use vga=769 to reach the desktop and start installtion. After the installation to see the desktop i have to use clocksource=acpi_pm but this doesn't work always, it worked now while i was trying noapic. nopci, ... parameters. I dont't know what the problem is but boot is freezed after the r8169 module load any idea?

I just got my printer and scanner working nicely on ubuntu 8.04. I would like to know if there is a way to quick scan and print, like a copy machine. [14:33] okay i've got a pretty awesome problem - my tftp-hpa server is stuffed [14:33] sFEARs: for that matter, the simple fact that you have 1.5.1 installed means you're running Intrepid, so please ask in #ubuntu+1 [14:33] hi guys... how do i make 2 sound events play at the same time? [14:33] alright.. thank you [14:33] sFEARs: and do keep in mind that Intrepid, by definition, may have inconsistent packages.

I have installed ffmpeg from medibuntu on my laptop and on a server. I can now create flash-moves properly with sounds and video on my laptop but I get no sound on the server. Ideas what the problem can be? laptop is ubuntu 8.04 desktop and server is ubuntu 8.04 server. [15:30] Nata-Oh: thanks [15:30] icnpunk: why do you need gtkrc? [15:30] Python1320: what you mean? I don't know how to make it work [15:30] Xerph, you said you've contacted your isp already? [15:31] mm2000: as far as I know server edition is only command line [15:31] Python1320: yes, they have set it up, altho host ipaddress doesn't resolve [15:31] Xerph, well, that's just a matter of time to make it work :P I can't get one no matter what I try. [15:31] i seem to be doing something dumb when trying to add/use something from the PATH, and I could use some handholding. here's the $PATH, the fully-qualified command (successful), and the unqualified command (unsuccessful): http://paste.linuxassist.net/16504 <-- anyone know why the unqualified command doesn't work? [15:31] Python1320: they mentioned to check my resolve.conf [15:31] : what do you mean? [15:31] Anyone know about configuring screen res on 8.04? In relation to running in virtual machine where screen isn't recognised and set to minimum. xorg.conf is pretty bare in this release and seem to store things elsewhere.

[15:32] mm2000: did you install a graphical interface to the server? [15:32] : and what exactly does that have to do with ffmpeg??? [15:32] hey quick stability question: does anyone know why keeping firefox and a few other apps open (I think firefox is the culprit though) and locking session my computer is usually frozen in the mornign? [15:32] Xerph, have you set reverse dns on the nameservers? [15:32] Because your local pc with its resolv.conf has nothing to do with it [15:32] : read my question again please. [15:32] you did say: "I get no sound on the server" [15:33] mm2000: what do you mean by that? [15:33] icnpunk: seems that is lives here --> [15:33] It's like the irc server resolves your IP and checks if the resolved reverse-dns resolves back to the ip for the domain to be applied [15:33] : in output files. [15:33] icnpunk: /usr/share/themes/Qt/gtk-2.0/gtkrc [15:33] icnpunk: but i won't touch it. [15:33] Python1320: i haven't, have no idea how x) [15:33] Python1320: running jbdns [15:33] And by the way, don't trust a word I say :) I've only played with IPv6's reverse dns [15:34] ;] [15:34] WHen I use ffmpeg to create flash-movies, I get no sound when creating them on the server, but from the desktop-box I do. And its exacly the same ffmpeg setup. [15:34] kelvinq: thanks man ,how can you find it . use what command. I like to use whereis ,but doesn't work well [15:35] mm2000: This is becuase the MP3 support uses non-free software. It was left out and will mostly be left out on any new versions. You will have to build this package your self if you want MP3 support. [15:35] mm2000: this is because ffmpeg in ubuntu has no mpeg encoder capabilities. for legal reasons, we cannot include such encoders into ubuntu. sorry [15:35] mm2000: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpeg/+bug/216385 [15:35] Launchpad bug 216385 in ffmpeg "avi->flv: no sound in output file" [Undecided,Won't fix] [15:35] : I have done that.

[15:37] how do I install hardy heron without ubuntu-desktop [15:37] I want minimal install with just command line and nothing more. [15:37] mm2000: I would post to that bug or convert the bug to a question on launchpad [15:37] komputes: the question is what package is missing on the server. [15:37] no gdm or gnome or kdm or kde [15:37] greencookie: thats the server edition, all command line, minimal ubuntu [15:38] icnpunk: i use google. [15:38] greencookie: i might suggest installing the server edition, or using the Minimal CD (which, i believe, gives you a comprehensive selection of what to install) [15:38] komputes, please tell me how I could install it? [15:38] komputes: even server edition is a bit fat. I was surprised that it was a few gigs of hard drive space [15:38] after i do: sudo apt-get upgrade is that it, all upgraded [15:38] !server > greencookie (greencookie, see the private message from Ubotu) [15:38] greencookie, please see my private message [15:38] !minimal > greencookie (greencookie, see the private message from Ubotu) [15:38] greencookie: let me get you the link [15:38] I have ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron [15:38] : that means you dont have a clue then?

I can ssh from the ssh server to the computer in question but i'm not sure if scp can drill down two levels like that. if it can, any help with the command? [15:39] greencookie: yes [15:39] danhs: well that's because it comes with, well, servers. using the minimal cd and telling it to keep things down will do better than that. [15:39] cant i just have the option NOT to install gdm or ubuntu-desktop? [15:39] ok [15:39] yes [15:39] What does /etc/resolv.conf do? Do I have to set it to use my running nameservers or leave ISP provided resolves ? [15:39] i guess ill remove it after install then [15:39] greencookie: would be nice, but now you can just remove them [15:39] greencookie: yes, you can with the minimal CD, i just told you [15:39] do i need to run an install after sudo apt-get upgrade ? [15:40] no [15:40] no [15:40] just answer yes [15:40] hi. is there any program that can handle s-video? [15:40] komputes: personally, I'm no linux guru, but I'd avoid randomly apt-get removing stuff [15:40] hi again, still problems. can connect and use google, but thats it. no other sites works (and no updates can be dowloaded). i can ping the different sites, and ive tried to use different dns servers! [15:40] yes [15:40] komputes: just cause you remove the wrong thing, and system instability, here we come [15:40] vsand___: echo $http_proxy [15:40] when will 8.10 beta be released?

[15:41] AdvoWork: they take place asap, aside from kernel upgrades and libraries that are being used [15:42] will it show which libraries are being used and so on? [15:42] AdvoWork: no [15:42] is pidgin 2.5.1 going to be in the repositories ever? [15:42] :/ [15:42] AdvoWork: just reboot if you want to be 100% sure everything you have running is up to date, otherwise don't bother,. [15:42] LjL so how can i find out what its Not upgraded because theyre in use? [15:42] AdvoWork: nothing is "not upgraded" [15:43] AdvoWork: the files on your disk are upgraded, some of the libraries already loaded in memory might still be running as the old version. === thiagover is now known as malandr0 [15:44] !backports | ferric84 [15:44] ferric84: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [15:51] : I work as a webdeveloper, at the site, hosted at an ubuntu 8.04 server you can upload movies that are converted using ffmpeg into flash movies. I know per default, ubuntus ffmpeg doesnt support sound, so I have installed ffmpeg from medibuntu instead. Both on my laptop (ubuntu 8.04 desktop) and the server (ubuntu 8.04 server), ffmpeg now produces flashmovies with sound on my laptop, but on the server I still get no sounds on the files. Ideas what [15:51] the problem could be? [15:51] LjL: same things, the terminal skips a line and then just waits for input again. now google wont work either, or pinging :( [15:52] mm2000: yu use the same command line in both machines ? [15:52] vsand____: that's got nothing to do with typing those lines, they were simply printouts of an (apparently empty) variable [15:52] i ran the vmware console application and while i was working in a machine the application died. since the application sort of takes over your mouse and keyboard until you do ctrl-alt to release it, my shift, control, caps-lock, and other keys are no longer working. i know i could easily fix this by rebooting, but how do i do it otherwise/ [15:52] @ALL has anyone tested ubuntu hardy setup on a Asus EEE 900 with preinstalled XP??

[15:53] LjL: nope, but i could. the update dowloader doesnt work either, if that says you anything [15:53] mm2000: the input video file is the same in both machines too ? [15:53] vsand____: it would say to me that you have a proxy set - but that doesn't appear to be the case [15:53] : yes [15:54] erUSUL: I have been using linux for some years now, and I find this very odd... [15:54] vsand____: try loading any website and then, while it's waiting to load, using "netstat" to see where your system is actually trying to connect [15:54] someone help! I can't touch to my desktop. If I right click mouse on the desktop nothing happens and I cant move anything to the desktop, anyone can help me?

[15:55] linuxhelp_de: i have on a 901 that came with xandros. similar but not the same. works well once you fix a few driver issues [15:56] mm2000: not really as i said found it inexplicable... becouse ffmpeg does not give any error on the server, does it? [15:57] : nope, nothing. The files are being created ans so on, but no sound. [16:00] : do you know if I need like another library or something? [16:01] mm2000: i'm as lost as you are... sorry :| [16:02] mm2000: what kind of sound files are used? are the proper codecs installed on the server? [16:02] mm2000: you were serving flash movies off the server? === fReAkY[t] is now known as freaky[t] [16:03] then, it wouldn't matter what's on the server since it's just a simple file transfer. === gg is now known as beta [16:03] hallo [16:03] : we are encoding the movies to flash [16:03] its not just flash [16:04] : I was thinking something like that. WHat kind of codecs do you think is missing? [16:05] mm2000: now, you ned to be more specific. we don't really know if the error is happeing because you encoded the files on the server, of you are serving from them. [16:05] mm2000: of = or [16:06] well if it's mp3 audio then you need codecs for that. i think the ubuntu-restriected-extras will give you want you need and if not you can add the gstreamer packags. === malandr0 is now known as thiagover`away [16:06] : but shouldnt that be included when installing ffmpeg from medibuntu? [16:06] mm2000: not sure. [16:07] probably not if you didn't specify [16:07] unless it's a dependency [16:07] : so, just gstreamer then?

Does this work in a tty only machine? === Keith is now known as LGKeiz [16:40] yes i did [16:40] Cobra_Fast: In your case : force group = cobra and these will not hurt either: force create mode = 0775 and: force directory mode = 0775 [16:41] greencookie, ah, no, it's for X :) [16:41] ok ill try that [16:41] okay restarting [16:42] and testing [16:42] Cobra_Fast: Because directory there is owned by user "cobra" of group "cobra" so it means other users do not have write priveleges there [16:42] Oh okay.

[16:45] ;) [16:45] where does mount -a get called in linux boot? [16:45] GPU == graphic processor unit... the clock speed of graphic card [16:45] kho_zhi: he was being sarcastic. hehe [16:46] rsc-, huh?

[16:47] sorry, ubuntu+1 :) [16:47] could you tell me where i can download dc++ [16:47] kho_zhi: Probably depends on your video card. [16:47] how do i run fsck on my home partition ? do i have to boot into single user mode ? or maybe from the install cd ? [16:47] statusbar window add -after lag -priority 10 act [16:48] xnv, i overclock my ATi Radeon 9550 wif rovclock, I 1 2 know is there other things can view the actual of it? [16:48] isnt it possible to do write acces to guest on samba? [16:48] what is the default pw for root in server 6.06.2 lts? [16:48] is there one? [16:48] could someone explain the difference between "Fix released" and "Fix committed" on Launchpad bugs? [16:48] has anyone ever used mobile phone as bluetooth remote control and messed up with the ".hid" files? [16:48] !root | sambagirl [16:48] sambagirl: 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 [16:48] sambagirl sudo [16:49] ehoooooo [16:49] ok [16:49] has anyone ever used mobile phone as bluetooth remote control and messed up with the ".hid" files? [16:49] sambagirl: sudo su -; passwd; [16:49] ok [16:49] Cobra_Fast: Please do not suggest that here. [16:49] brbn [16:49] sudo passwd root :o [16:49] !noroot [16:49] 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 ;-) [16:49] brb [16:49] kho_zhi: You mean you just want to confirm that rovclock changed the clock speed? [16:49] Pici suggest what? [16:49] pici noted [16:50] tats rite xnv... [16:50] Cobra_Fast: setting a root password. [16:50] Pici why not? [16:50] i personally prefer a root pw because it give you full control. [16:50] brb [16:50] sambagirl: so does sudo [16:50] kho_zhi: If you keep talking like that, I'm not going to help you. 1337 speak has not been 1337 since 1995 [16:50] sudo su :) [16:51] well whats up now with samba guest write access???? [16:51] i still get access denied on copying files [16:51] xnv , why? [16:51] Cobra_Fast: Because it is insecure and the developers have designed things to work with sudo, not necessarily with 'root' itself. [16:51] is there an unofficial ubuntu repository with latest packages such as GIMP 2.6? i mean beside getdeb.net [16:52] ooopsss... I think I know what I did wrong... xnv [16:52] xnv sorry for that [16:52] cannot type short form is it? [16:52] Cobra_Fast, is anything conflicting with the writeable flag? [16:52] maybe you have a read only flag as wlel [16:53] also see /var/log/samba for clues [16:53] okay, so how do i get this new gimp installed [16:53] lol [16:54] gio: http://www.getdeb.net/release.php?id=3233 [16:54] kho_zhi: lspci -vvv *might* tell you.

[16:56] I've tried googling it, But couldn't find a working solution. [16:56] the samba configuration says writeable = yes browsable = yes and guest ok = yes [16:56] kernel [16:56] but im not abled to creaty any files [16:56] sasha_levin: sure you set up your soundcard correctly? [16:56] Cobra_Fast, is the folder writeable to all? [16:57] Cobra_Fast, by unix permissions [16:57] its 0777 [16:57] * rsc- also thought itwas frustrating getting this to work!

[16:58] cause it in /home/cobra/share [16:58] An external one, i.e. [16:58] Hi all, I have installed ubuntu server on VMware, I have configured [16:59] Cobra_Fast: That folder is owned by root and group root. You must have made it as root user or so. If under your home dir should be owned by that user and group [16:59] so ill change owner and group back to cobra ? [16:59] !gdm [16:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm [16:59] i dont think the owner matters [16:59] for the samba problem [17:00] Cobra_Fast: For the method I described earlier to work, the shared folder should be owned by cobra:cobra === mel is now known as Guest24672 [17:00] yeah it is now [17:00] let me try [17:00] <|tom|> is there a command that will reset my internet connection like what would happen with a reboot? === warren_ is now known as htrejh [17:00] Has anyone here connected to a windows xp pro running SFU and its nfs share?

[17:01] now its owned by cobra:cobra and config says force user = cobra but i still get access denied on trying to copy something in as guest [17:01] my problem is my isp drivers r not work properly [17:01] vallhalla81: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [17:01] |tom|: Do you need it exactly right a reboot? [17:01] hi [17:01] Pici: thank you [17:01] |tom|: *like [17:02] Pici: i dont think that worked [17:02] <|tom|> not necessarily, im not too sure what the problem is... but whenever i switch from wireless to wired my connection is very spotty [17:02] <|tom|> and seems to be fixed by a reboot, but i feel like there must be a way around the full process [17:02] Cobra_Fast: Do you have some line in global section making guest user default to some username like "nobody" or such? [17:03] hey, has anyone here had a problem with automagic logouts in hardy? [17:03] Anyone on the nfs question? [17:03] |tom|: ifdown / ifup [17:03] vallhalla81: Where did you run it from? [17:03] yes genii some tutorial said to make guest user = nobody [17:03] isnt there a webadmin environment for 6.06.02 server? or is it all command line?? [17:03] oder something similar [17:03] from the terminal [17:03] !anyone | pastorjohn [17:03] pastorjohn: 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? [17:03] vallhalla81: And what happened? [17:03] Cobra_Fast: Comment out the line then [17:03] <|tom|> xnv: i'll give it a go, thanks :) [17:04] * Reloading GNOME Display Manager configuration... * Changes will take effect when all current X sessions have ended. [17:04] invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action "reload" failed.

[17:05] vallhalla81: How did you disable GDM? I think I may have misread your question. [17:05] you have to be a giant nerd to use irc [17:05] automagic logouts?

[17:06] when logged in with more than one user, it logs out all but the active user when away for some specified amount of time [17:06] Cobra_Fast: Are you issuing: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart after edits? [17:06] xnv: So, that would be a yes, as long as grub and mbr get everything straight? [17:06] vallhalla81: does sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm do anything useful? [17:06] yes genii i do [17:07] no [17:07] fyi im using linux systems for 5 years now [17:07] kdm is not installed [17:07] vallhalla81: Then what replaced your gdm? [17:07] pastorjohn: I'm just saying "external" is fairly meaningless as far as software is concerned. [17:07] kdm but i uninstalled it to try and get gdm back [17:08] vallhalla81 reinstalling the package "gdm" should fix your problem [17:08] Cobra_Fast: i tryed that to no efect [17:08] Cobra_Fast: OK.

GNOME has to be running, and people should login once and then their physical presence at the machine is not needed [17:41] back [17:41] sasha_levin: you do have sound now right? [17:41] jim_p, I can hear sound fine, but only from front speakers. I can't find a way to switch it to all speakers [17:41] sambagirl: I should just give up on that alternate usage, even though its cooler. It shows what packages are being installed. The other option is sudo tasksel install lamp-server no ^ there, so noone gets tricked [17:41] harisund: I would like to be able to not have a monitor, or even a keyboard/mouse at the machine,but still be able to VNC in immediately after a boot [17:42] hello [17:42] Any linux phreeks here that have knowledge of getting a BCM4318 Working under Hardy Heron ?

[18:14] deever, well, i can't seem to find any other packages that might have the python headers - you can have both python 2.4 and 2.5 installed at the same time, though it might not suit your purpose if you want gdb to cater to 2.5 only - you could ask the guys in #python perhaps [18:14] sasha_levin: mine says Codec: Realtek ALC885 [18:14] How do I minimize the graphic effects? When I minimize a window, I just want it to vanish, I don't want it to animate itself getting minimized, and so on?

[18:15] CarlFK, cant now, but yes, having i lil problem there [18:15] Qster: Its possible that its running on a different port then.

[18:27] anuubuntu: if your digicam is supposed to work as a hard drive it should be detected.. if not then it might get very tricky [18:27] Cobra_Fast: Did you pastebin yet the result of command: smbstatus while browsing the share from the Windows machine?

[19:17] _Zeus_, nvidia geforece 8400M GT, drivers are installed [19:17] _haywire_: which two would those be? [19:17] Qster: i think you could also set up a quest login with samba, but it would be very unsecure [19:17] <_Zeus_> matthijs_: you might want to install the package nvidia-glx-new, then run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" [19:17] <_Zeus_> matthijs_: after you have done that, log out and log back in [19:18] haywire: any luck on that link?

[19:19] yeah virtualBox is a good idea too [19:20] <_haywire_> Qster you need smbclient & smbfs [19:20] vmware server is great too and its free [19:20] VirtualBox creates its own internal NAT .. haven't had any problems so far, but it becomes a pain if you want to access the virtual machine from outside [19:20] Qster: sounds like you have it set to browsable = yes in your smb.conf file and guest = no [19:20] hi! Is it possible to enable CONFIG_LATENCYTOP in the kernel without rebuilding it? [19:20] harisund, yeah thats the problems ive been having [19:20] so if i add guest = yes it should allow me to get in? [19:21] Qster: if you set it to guest = yes, then i think it would work. you need to reset samba in order for it to take effect [19:21] Qster: i think so [19:21] DigitalFiz: I believe you can do some stuff like port forwarding. Otherwise, I prefer VMware virtual server since it creates a new network interface [19:21] anyone know of another wireless utility besides "network"??? [19:22] zinake: unfortunatley did not work [19:22] Qster: i skimmed over that part of samba b/c i wanted it to be a tad bit more secure since i'm on a laptop [19:22] zinake: still says access denied [19:22] Qster: did you reset your samba server? [19:22] <_haywire_> Qster do you have smbclient & smbfs installed [19:22] _haywire_: yes [19:23] zinake: i did /etc/init.d/samba restart is that correct?

[20:52] helo [20:52] hello [20:52] fous_, unix/linux don't rely on file extensions to make decisions - shell scripts usually have no file extensions - but it might be better to use something like .sh or .bash for your identification [20:52] xai : you do that? [20:53] hey, I can't get avant-window-manager to startup on system boot [20:53] I have wpa wireless manual configuration (set with Network Configuration Manager) in my hardy.

[20:55] unop: If no !#/bin/sh in the file it takes a hint from file extension of .sh [20:55] sia-eXtreme: I did that already [20:55] sia-eXtreme: and thats where the working stops [20:55] genii, no, that's not true .. the kernel is set to use a POSIX shell to process the script if no shebang is used [20:55] genii, even without a file extension.. [20:56] hi [20:56] Prose: you computer stop working ? [20:57] a [20:57] sia-eXtreme: um no, I mean, "working stops" as in thats where to procesdure to get it to boot goes awry and I come here to cry [20:57] hi [20:58] can someone help me [20:58] Prose: i don't know ;( [20:58] :( [20:58] sorry [20:59] unop: Interesting. I've had troubles previously where it got confused as to what to use to run a file without the shebang [20:59] there is no help for JFS partition mounting ? [21:00] hello [21:00] genii, well, without a shebang /bin/sh is almost always used - but not by virtue of a file extension hint [21:00] Prose: what did you exactly add to session ?? [21:01] avant-window-manager ? [21:01] where can i get a link or file to upgrade from 5.10 to the next [21:02] what command can I use to limit the characters per line [21:02] so it only prints those lines [21:02] o.o [21:02] when I cat a file [21:02] prose : are you there ? [21:02] sia-eXtreme: what is the problem with mounting? [21:02] sia-eXtreme: yeah and as the command, I pointed it to the exetuble I click on to start the app [21:02] anyone? [21:02] try : instead of manager use navigation [21:03] leslieviljoen: [21:03] ian_`, cut [21:03] after power lose [21:03] i can't mount it anymore [21:03] mount : wrong fs type , badoption , bad superblock on /dev/sda1 missing codepage or helper program , or other error [21:03] ian_`, thought, "limit" is a vague term - what do you mean exactly? limit the length, limit by pattern, limit by type, etc? [21:03] jstanford1109: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UpgradeFromOldVersion [21:03] sia-eXtreme: Im not sure I understand, what do you mean "instead of manager" ? [21:03] thank you [21:04] avant-window-navigator [21:04] instead of avant-window-manager [21:04] sia-eXtreme: that's bad news. It's likely mangled. Your best bet is to look at the jfs utils to try and repair the partition [21:04] sia-eXtreme: ah ok! [21:04] trying then [21:06] leslieviljoen: i think it is a safe filesystem, is ext3 better ? is it better to re format my drive ? [21:06] sia-eXtreme: JFS is known to be very stable [21:06] sia-eXtreme: Have you done fsck.jfs ? [21:06] leslieviljoen: so i give it one more chance [21:06] i can't remember [21:07] I'm unable to mount a remote windows share using mount -t cifs ///share /mnt/usb... why is it asking for a password when there is none (Nautilus browsing works but, as you know, file transfer is unreliable)? [21:07] sia-eXtreme: yes, don't you need to repair it? Have you tried? === hwilde is now known as nothw [21:07] no === nothw is now known as hwilde [21:07] but i haven't important data on it [21:07] intrepid Ibex heh! [21:07] how can I change the timeout how long ssh tries before giving up ? [21:07] Does anyone know what .daa files are, and how i can extract them in linux [21:07] leslieviljoen: i'll try to repair it now [21:08] whats it like? [21:08] sia-eXtreme: fsck.jfs [21:08] leslieviljoen: it's /dev/sda1 what is the full command ? [21:08] sledge: Try typing in google .daa files and see what comes up. It might help u [21:09] Error: Cannot open device /dev/sda1 [21:09] hwilde: ssh -o ConnectTimeout [21:09] .daa is a format for a certain burner [21:09] sia-eXtreme: fsck.jfs -n /dev/sda1 [21:09] which one I forget [21:09] Error: Cannot open device /dev/sda1 [21:09] Can I successfully take a single shot foto from a vide?? A good quality one????? Please [21:09] sia-eXtreme: not sure, check permissions? [21:09] whats wrong with it ? [21:10] ok [21:10] sia-eXtreme: did you sudo? [21:10] sia-eXtreme: also, use -n first, to just check [21:10] now i sudo [21:10] sia-eXtreme: it worked, thanks [21:10] ;) [21:10] whoohoo [21:10] ok [21:10] it worked [21:10] with sudo [21:11] sia-eXtreme: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:11] Filesystem is dirty but is marked clean. In its present state, [21:11] the results of accessing /dev/sda1 (except by this utility) are undefined. [21:11] I have taken a single shot foto from a video using Totem and its successful thks to yr help at ubuntu, but the quality is iffy!! Can I improve on the quality or is that the way it is??? [21:11] hi, i'm using url_regex -i /path/to/blockedsites, in squid, the problem is blockedsites is a very huge file, and squid is using 70% of cpu, so when y disable de url_regex, squid is using just 10-20% of cpu, is that normal? or i have to search another solution for block sites? [21:12] sia-eXtreme: well give it a bash then with -a [21:12] DavidCanarias: capturing stills from a video will almost always be poor quality compared to a still-photo since the resolution of the video is much lower [21:12] how can I grep a file so that it only contains specified characters on each line, like it can only have [q,w,e,r,t] for example? [21:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/53271/ [21:13] Hi again IntuitiveNipple: So really it's impossible to expect much more then? [21:13] ian_`: grep '[qwert]' [21:13] it can only contain those characters [21:13] sia-eXtreme: when choosing a new filesystem, look at this page: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/388 [21:13] anyone using mrxvt? [21:14] the option for turning off scrollbar doesn't work [21:14] DavidCanarias: If the original image is low-resolution, there isn't a lot you can do to improve it. You can try smoothing and interpolation and bicubic resize, but you can't add anything to improve the true resolution [21:14] leslieviljoen, what I mean is, it can only contain any combination of those characters on the line [21:14] !ibex [21:14] Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October!

[21:15] Jampiter: mkisofs [21:15] does anybody here think that gimp should have a different name? if so, what name would you suggest? [21:15] anyone using mrxvt? [21:15] leslieviljoen: i saw a benchmark and there jfs was a good speed filesystem [21:15] zcat[1]: Is that a simple GUI software? [21:16] would fsck.jfs -a help me ? [21:16] sia-eXtreme: jfs is light on CPU, XFS is on average faster since it's a bit lighter on disk [21:16] No, just open a terminal and type "mkisofs -o foo.iso foo/" [21:16] sia-eXtreme: yes, that is what I said [21:16] sia-eXtreme: give it a bash with -a [21:16] Jampiter: alternatively use brasero or k3b and 'burn' to an ISO image instead of a disk [21:17] Thanks :) [21:17] anyone? [21:17] Jampiter: but to be honest mkisofs is easier and faster than using the gui [21:17] leslieviljoen: very thnaks it fixed and i have my data , how can i format it with XFS ? [21:17] :D [21:17] zcat[1]: How do I use it? [21:18] Whoops [21:18] You alrealdy said :p [21:18] sia-eXtreme: mkfs.xfs [21:18] Guess I should read :p [21:18] thnks [21:18] someone speak spanish? [21:18] you're the man [21:19] Jampiter: mkisofs has many options too. type mkisofs --help or man mkisofs [21:19] Thanks mefisto__ [21:19] IntuitiveNipple: Thks for your advice once again. The gimp business worked converting to jpeg no problem. I'm grateful to you and all the others who enter this site to collaborate and help each other in the Linux community. It's fantastic!

[21:24] well it's like gimp [21:24] or to be specific [21:24] I'm forking gimp with only the name changed. people have been complaining about the name for years [21:24] I *did* try gparted, I couldn't tell the difference between the free and unfree space.

[21:36] oh [21:36] I've tried tinkering with that--it's not ALWAYS flash that crashes it. It just crashed when I tried to open a word doc from gmail. [21:37] It crashes regularly watching south park online, which I think is flash [21:37] in firefox [21:37] mefisto__: cool! didn't know that [21:37] I so much as loaded youtube in konqueror and it crashed [21:37] any help?

[21:38] Long Name Person: I'm just not on it right now. [21:38] damon, using proper vid driver? [21:39] So, ask [21:39] zcat: nVidia geForce 6800 I think. It's been a pain getting the drivers to work, I think I used some 3rd-party macro to do it for me. [21:39] Did everything stop here? [21:39] PostersandGuitar: oh me? my tablet cursor 'sticks' quite often in gimp and inkscape [21:39] zcat: Called "envy" [21:40] That was odd. I thought perhaps every problem had been solved. [21:40] PostersandGuitar: I have had no luck fixing that and it's annoying [21:40] PostersandGuitar: Windows and OSX don't stick [21:40] Long Name Person: Either a problem with the tablet itself, or slow processor or GFX card causing it to slow [21:40] damon: Ahhh.. I'd suggest using nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-settings to get dual-head going, I think I have the same card here but I'd have to check [21:40] or I'm wrong [21:40] hey ho, anyone seen this problem with Cairo-Dock - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5893188 [21:40] zcat: I think I tried that with no luck.

[21:46] puhleeeze help [21:46] JimmyDee, why are you still using 7.10? [21:46] because its the cd I have chowder [21:46] yofel: if i use envyng, wont it bugger up other stuff? [21:46] yofel: like the auto update? [21:47] leslieviljoen, it has to have all of the characters, not just one of the characters :o [21:47] JimmyDee: just get the 8.04 iso image [21:47] ok something else then, theres a patched version of the gnome main menu applet which doesn't have the little drop down arrow, where can i get it?

[21:47] soz :/ [21:47] Shark_7-11: you should have a separate /home, then you can do clean installs, and not worry about messing things up [21:47] I am trying to use magento connect manager and its saying that I need to make the folder writeable.. how is that done in ubuntu? [21:48] it would be another release before I could download that on dialup [21:48] ian_`: a quickie: grep 'a' |grep 'x'|grep 'i'|grep 'e' [21:48] Downloading a newer ISO on dialup would take three to five days solid, depending on the connection... [21:48] Shark_7-11: not really sure, but you will have to reinstall the driver every time you upgrade the kernel i think [21:48] I thought it was something like chmod -R 777 or something... [21:48] Kingsy101: right click. [21:48] JimmyDee, you could order a free CD [21:48] i havent installed it using System --> Admin --> HW drivers [21:48] JimmyDee: internal modem?

[21:50] MetaMorfoziS: openvpn needs a tun device, so use 'sudo openvpn...' [21:50] fakeroot [21:50] Kingsy101: you could +w i think it would be, or you could "sudo nautilus" [21:50] JimmyDee: most internals are 'winmodems' and bloody hard to get working in linux. If there's a lug nearby that might be your best option, otherwise pick up a second hand external, they're dirt cheap these days 'cos everyone is moving to broadband [21:50] zcat: so....my computer just crashed, on the laptop now [21:50] zcat: I'm running memtest [21:50] Anyone know how to work with 3G modem which is getting 10.64.64.64 for remote address?

[21:53] Kingsy101: because chown and chmod are so painful for me to use, i usually just "sudo nautilus" or "sudo thunar" depending which ubuntu i'm using [21:53] PostersandGuitar: thats a bios setting, boot from usb [21:53] How would I get it on the drive in the first place [21:53] Question: How do i get compiz working on ATI. Answer: <> [21:53] the improbable done immediately, the impossible may take a bit longer, how do you install a modem from the CD? [21:54] <_haywire_> JimmyDee --- have you scoured the ubuntu forums or researched how others may or may not have got your exact modem working?? [21:54] does powertop really work in saving battery life on a laptop? anyone here use it? [21:54] actually I came here first, this is where the smart people hang [21:54] JimmyDee: from the CD.. you can't. You at the very least will need to install the build-essential stuff and compile a driver module. [21:54] Can anyone tell me how to get firefox to stop crashing when using Anthy as an IME? [21:55] i are smartt [21:55] you are smart, you make us go [21:55] Kohlrak: I don't get anything when I do that. It's trying to connect.

[21:57] thanks [21:57] PostersandGuitar: you can get adaptors [21:57] Ok. [21:57] pan_: declock? (cpu?) [21:57] would a total full up install maybe automagically make the modem work? [21:57] yeah [21:57] Is it possible to boot from a USB? [21:57] PostersandGuitar: yes [21:57] Hmm [21:58] pan_: try 'sudo cpufreq-selector -g powersave' [21:58] yes in bios check usb as the first boot device [21:58] PostersandGuitar: your BIOS needs to support it, you'll see the option if you go to the boot section [21:58] via VT6120 nic doesn't work as expected.. what could be? [21:58] PostersandGuitar: most newish computers support it [21:58] Kohlrak: AT&T (formerly Cingular Wireless).

[22:23] Kasle: can you give the exact output (using pastebin if it's more than a line) [22:24] LjL: Thanks [22:24] leslieviljoen: i cant exacley copy it... it is the only error message i get [22:24] tschlr: yes. My keybord, mouse stuff like that [22:24] tschlr: so you didn't have to hit ctrl+c to make it go on, it just unlocked itself eventually? it still errors out if you type "sudo apt-get install build-essential"? [22:24] i've looked it up and people claim to have gotten them to work, but has anyone here gotten ubuntu to work with lexmark z715 and p4350 printers....???.... [22:25] well yeah, seems like it eventually times out [22:25] ColonelPanik: of course you can set the fan manually too by changing something in /sys or /proc, but i don't remember what it is. you can probably read that script's code to find out [22:25] and then pops the rest up [22:25] let me get you the output of that, it said something with apt-get update and --fix-missing aswel but well, doesnt work but hold on [22:26] how do I find all the iptable command already implemented on a machine? [22:26] LordDicranius: eh? [22:27] where is the list of lexmark printers that work....i can't seem to find it.... [22:27] LjL; could you or someone else run apt-get update to see if the mirrors i am using are working, so wether it is a problem at my network or not [22:27] LordDicranius: iptables -L [22:27] tschlr: yeah, moment [22:28] stuck again at the 2nd file it tries to get [22:28] LordDicranius: for the NAT table, iptables -t nat -L [22:28] waiting for further output [22:28] anyone here play around with mad wifi before? [22:29] tschlr: apparently it's working fine for me with your sources.list. are you behind a DSL router? === SOGisHere is now known as SOGisstillaround [22:29] leslieviljoen: thx :-) [22:29] its routered yes [22:29] mm now i didnt see errors [22:29] except the long waiting again [22:29] tschlr: some routers have a problem with apt-get, they can't handle the fast connections that APT does (or at least, their DNS servers can't) [22:29] what could be accessing my second HD and prevent it from ever spinning down? if I force it with hdparm -y it will stop, but spin up a couple of seconds later. It only has backup files and is rarely used. XFS and mounted with noatime. [22:30] LordDicranius: ok! [22:30] ill pass that on to the net admi [22:30] tschlr: try editing /etc/resolv.conf and putting 212.245.255.2 instead of your router's DNS, then running "sudo apt-get update" real quick (or the DNS will be overwritten with your router's again) [22:30] n [22:30] lemme give it a shot [22:30] can someone tell me if this root=UUID=fccafcc7-d7cc-4594-9459-a8f0db7b9f7f will always change? Because I can't boot back in there, and I figure it's this problem, but I don't know what this root is supposed to be, because I use the Alternative CD to isntall [22:31] what is the default chmod for a user directory? [22:31] wow [22:31] Qster: 755 [22:31] thank you [22:31] alot of errors though LjL [22:31] Qster: why? [22:31] tschlr: paste them [22:31] Could not resolve 'security.ubuntu.com' [22:31] etc [22:32] mine got changed and i couldnt figure out the correct # [22:32] tschlr: with the dns i gave you? [22:32] yes [22:32] Qster: oh. well, you might also want to consider 700 [22:32] tschlr: uhm ok, perhaps it cannot be used in the US [22:32] so i am trying to get the wireless working on this hp dv9000; lspci lists it as a " broadcom corporation bcm94311mcg wlan mini-pci (rev 02) and the website "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom#miniPCI" does not have that exact bcm94311mcq, should i use the bcm4311? or do i have it wrong totally [22:32] anybody has a DNS server that's open in the US on their hands? [22:32] tschlr: 4.2.2.1 [22:33] well he tells me its not a dns issue [22:33] ok lemme try [22:33] snova why is that exactly? [22:33] LjL: the apt-get seems to be resolving the address right though? [22:33] nope doesnt work [22:33] i'm trying to get a dell latitude to boot from a USB flash drive with Knoppix.... but it just sits on a blank screen with a cursor blinking in the top left.... any ideas? [22:33] Qster: so other users can't access it. there's not much point on a single user system, though i use 700 anyway [22:33] ns identify jackie [22:34] lol. [22:34] does anyone know if I can change this option root=UUID=fccafcc7-d7cc-4594-9459-a8f0db7b9f7f to something else? I can't find the number again after I reinstall [22:34] leslieviljoen: yes, but it freezes up with some of them, and that's typical behavior of some DSL routers' internal DNS proxies [22:34] and should i be using ndswrapper or is there no need for the work around anymore [22:34] tschlr, as in, it still can't resolve? [22:34] it can resolve [22:34] resolving isnt the issue [22:34] SOGisstillaround: you should set it to the UUID of your root filesystem. Find it out with blkid [22:34] it just says 'waiting for headers' [22:34] tschlr: well it was with the one i gave you [22:34] snova: familiar with how to share a user directory with windows vista? ive been trying all day all i can get it to say is access denied [22:34] ooh [22:34] yeah [22:34] SOGisstillaround: are you talking about menu.lst ? [22:34] with those it cant resolve [22:34] but with the normal one it can [22:35] search 6667.eu [22:35] nameserver 10.50.0.1 [22:35] is what is in resolv.conf [22:35] Qster: i think it's samba, but i've never used it [22:35] yes mefisto__ and thanks soundray I guess that UUIQ are different wth differnet isntallation.. um... [22:35] SOGisstillaround: not necessarily -- but if you format a filesystem, it will get a new UUID [22:35] what's the best way to install python 2.6? will there be a package soon? [22:36] does anyone know a good visual traceroute application? [22:36] I see soundray because I saved the menu.lst then I replace it with the old one... because I tried another disturbution... now it doesn't work... um.... [22:36] tschlr: you've tried other mirrors aside from us.archive.ubuntu.com i understand? [22:36] yes [22:37] also .nl and without any ltd [22:37] SOGisstillaround: do you know the device name of your root partition? [22:37] even used sources.lists i found on googel [22:37] soundray device name? you mean hda4 ? I installed it to hda4 [22:37] hey, how do i get wine to recognise a different interface? im trying to get it to see ham0 instead of eth1 [22:37] are there any disadvantages in running linux guest on a windows host for the purpose of learn about the linux kernel and developing software for linux ? [22:37] hi I just installed Ubuntu and am trying to mount a samba share. can someone help me figure out how? [22:38] i cant believe this GNU doesnt have an UNDO [22:38] wtf. [22:38] SOGisstillaround: yes. To boot from your system, you can do this: [22:38] liza0_: no [22:38] LjL; since you have no issues, would you mind sharing your sources.list with me so i can try [22:38] samba channels seems to be dead, so'ill ask here [22:38] drmoque: sudo mount -t smbfs /mnt/MountPoint SAMBASHARE [22:39] SOGisstillaround: hit Esc during boot to get to the grub menu. On the entry you want to boot, hit E for edit. Then go to the kernel line and hit E again. Edit the root= part of the kernel line to read root=/dev/hda4 (instead of the UUID) [22:39] drmoque: see man mount for details [22:39] tschlr, i have no issues with *your* sources.list, either, for that matter... but ok [22:39] SOGisstillaround: hit Return, then B to boot. [22:39] on a samba share, with same user, windows boxes can create folder with files in it while linux machines can only create files or folders but no folders with files in them [22:39] thanks soundray didn't know I can do that :O thanks [22:39] SOGisstillaround: once you're booted, you can fix menu.lst [22:39] yeah but dunno [22:39] DIFH-iceroot:ok [22:39] sledge: undo what? [22:40] then I don't understand why they use UUID... um... strange [22:40] by the way im using the server edition, not sure if that makes any difference [22:40] sledge: and what does it have to do with GNU? [22:40] tschlr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/53298/ [22:40] SOGisstillaround: there is a good reason [22:40] tschlr: it shouldn't [22:40] !uuid | SOGisstillaround [22:40] SOGisstillaround: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [22:40] thanks, I am restarting the PC now [22:41] magnet: if I use the following command will it mount as samba share or an nfs share. ==> sudo mount 169.254.244.xx:/zdrive /zdrive [22:43] LjL; my netadmin says that its "access denied by remote server" [22:43] hi everyone, im a new user from windows platform. ubuntu is quite different from windows in every way, is there any links to a complete ignorant user guide? [22:44] hi, welcome to #ubuntu [22:44] :) [22:44] pslboy: you will find the official documentation here: https://help.ubuntu.com/ [22:45] thanks [22:46] hi. my usb external harddrive disappeared today. i tried to mount -a, and I get "special drive does not exist". dmesg verifies ubuntu sees it, by " usb 3-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" after I plug it up. Any ideas how to get it to come back? [22:46] tschlr: that's pretty weird [22:47] tschlr: look, this isn't the best idea i've had in my life, but, try to comment out most of the lines in sources.list and leave only one or two at a time [22:47] im using yours atm [22:47] in the end it says [22:47] Fetched 8349kB in 3min4s (45.3kB/s) [22:47] Reading package lists... Done [22:48] to me that means there are no updates available [22:48] tschlr, no, it doesn't mean that [22:49] tschlr: apt-get update doesn't actually update your packages, it only reads the lists [22:49] tschlr: you need "apt-get dist-upgrade" to actually start an upgrade process [22:49] oh right [22:49] yeah [22:49] forgot, i've written scripts on my other ubuntu servers with the update and dist-upgrade stuf [22:50] anyway i did that, it says fetching and then it stops and says waiting for headers again [22:50] <[Solars]> erm whats the 'next' version after 8.04? [22:50] how do you remove the recycled folder from an external drive that has been taken off a windows computer? [22:50] !intrepid > [Solars] ([Solars], see the private message from Ubotu) [22:50] [Solars], please see my private message [22:50] trying to remove it gives me errors about read only system files, and that's with a rm -rf /Recycled/ [22:51] as root [22:52] morghanphoenix: is the drive mounted rw? [22:52] hello guys, how can I create more than 8 loop devices? I've created them via mknod but the system does not allow to use. In others systems I should edit /etc/modules.conf to set "loop max_loop=64" for intance, but this file doesnt exist [22:52] morghanphoenix, that's a system folder, why do you want to remove it? [22:52] tschlr: with only one line uncommented? [22:52] Does it matter if I fetch packages with both Synaptic and aptitude? [22:53] Madsy: You can only use one package manager at once, it doesnt matter which though. [22:53] Pici: So they don't do the safe-keeping differently? [22:54] Madsy: Safe keeping? [22:54] same, stuck [22:54] i need a program to convert mp3 to midi any suggestions? [22:54] Madsy: they are all APT frontends. they try to reflect that by using names that have APT in them [22:55] mefisto__: Sure. I was just warned about mixing apt and aptitude some years ago. Just thought the same thing might be the case for Synaptic. [22:55] adude not sure if that is really possible [22:55] really, why not. [22:56] i think it is im just not sure of the app [22:56] anyone have a guide to changing partition permissions? I'm having a hard time creating folders and such on a media partition I setup and would like to set the permissions so I have full control (also wondering how authorizations works) [22:56] noodlesgc: it is possible, there are expensive programs for windws [22:56] when i apt-get install ... how do i find out what files were installed? [22:56] how do i get a list of inserted kernel modules? [22:56] snova: lsmod [22:56] jasuus: dpkg -L [22:56] snova: lsmod [22:56] Pici: oh, duh. [22:57] ciao [22:58] and I don't seem to be able to elevate my permissions to root in ubuntu [22:58] adude heres an old thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=238997 [22:58] snova: thnx [22:58] !list [22:58] Hi!

[23:00] solars... why does that seem like the type of command that is dangerous [23:01] JuNiOx: in that file put "options loop max_loop=64" [23:01] JuNiOx: yes [23:01] thanks leslieviljoen !

I was trying to fix my ATI driver, and nothing worked, so i turned it off and back on, and now my computer locks up on startup, even with ctrl-alt-f1! I get this black screen with brown markings.

[23:08] SadTravels: oh, sorry [23:08] SadTravels: didn't read properly [23:08] hey i just installed ubuntu server and i can't get the internet to work cause my apartment complex makes up open a browser to register our mac address of the machine.. i would like to install a minimal gui from the ubuntu 8.04 desktop cd... i have already done sudo apt-cdrom add but i don't know what to do next [23:08] leslieviljoen: I cant reach the command prompt itself [23:08] anyone know of an easy way to recursively compare two directories on two drives? [23:09] leslieviljoen: I hit ctrl-shift f1 before it even starts, but once it tries to load the xserver at all, BAM, its out [23:09] DrX, maybe rsync could do it im not too familiar with it though, maybe it has a compare only feature [23:10] no one can help me? [23:10] DrX: diff? [23:10] I cant make dovecot work!!! :( [23:10] DrX: it's got an -r option [23:10] owner, I think you might be overloading your shiny with those too parts, you would have to wear eye protection to run your board, try ram without chrome [23:11] would probably save you a few bucks too [23:11] can anyone help me? [23:11] lol [23:11] gbear, hardware wise, would they work? [23:11] :) [23:12] I believe they would yes [23:12] Hey everyone, i entered recovery mode through grub and voila, command prompt. But I really dont know what to do next :/; [23:12] :) [23:12] Guest83612: you can use a text-mode browser, try w3m or links2 or lynx [23:12] someone would for sure! [23:12] so the ram standard doest matter gbear14275? [23:13] Yes... It's me :] [23:13] LjL it ddn't work i didn't get the page [23:13] :o [23:13] I have windows, another bare computer, a old windows hard drive, and a USB-IDE cable. No CD drives. Will one of the installers like wabi install ububtu live on the hard drive using the USB-IDE from windows; then I can put the hard drive in the bare computer? [23:13] SadTravels: probably "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf", finding the line that says Driver "fglrx" and changing it into Driver "vesa" would help you reboot into a GUI [23:13] I think you helped me before...:) [23:13] RAM standard?

[23:14] * afeijo scream [23:14] Guest83612: well if you didn't get your network's page, that would be your network's fault i suppose [23:14] Hi Guys. Is the realtime kernel going to appear again after the Beta, or will it just be excluded from Intrepid? [23:14] let me look again but your bus speed and RAM specs seem to match... one sec [23:14] thanks [23:14] I tried moving my old xorg.conf and nothing was fixed :( [23:14] Guest83612: you do have to load those browsers using "browsername http://some/web/page" for them to show anything, of course. [23:15] when you disable a restricted driver and then enable it, is something uninstalled in the process? [23:15] !intrepid > michelecs (michelecs, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:15] michelecs, please see my private message [23:15] iceroot: i have no stick. but if i were to get one, how would that work?

[23:16] i love this bot :) [23:16] okay [23:17] thanks anyways gbear14275 [23:17] LjL yeah i tried that cause i figured it would be the same but it couldn't find the packages [23:17] Guest83612: then they're not available on the cd, i suppose [23:17] Owner, btw... I don't know what this crowd thinks... but "performance" or "Gaming" RAM is a marketing gimmick most of the time [23:18] where do I find the IRC logs online for this channel?

[23:19] Guest83612: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [23:19] Guest83612: check if the first line is actually the desktop cd line [23:20] LjL that worked [23:20] LjL yes it is the cd [23:20] fdgdfhfdh [23:20] Guest83612: then you're simply looking to install packages that aren't on the cd (or, did you actually remember to type "sudo apt-get update" too?) [23:20] sdgsdsdg [23:21] wilfried, so you have a problem, or would you just like to spam? [23:21] maybe he has a keyboard issue [23:21] perhaps both? [23:21] LjL: not sure if it's on the cd or not but Guest83612 might have better luck with elinks instead of the other text browsers.. it's more intuitive [23:21] hello do kernel 2.6.27 or 26 with 8.04 has Asus xonar support by default then i know to crush that stupid Creative x-fi card with hammer that do not have compiled simple drivers. [23:21] LjL when i did the sudo apt-get update all the online repositories failed (as to be expected) but it should have updatd to the cd [23:22] Guest83612: uhm, yeah it should, but perhaps comment out all the non-cd lines from sources.list and then try again [23:23] LjL the comment is the # symbol right? [23:23] how to I translate a psk=blahblah key into human readable text ? [23:23] on a samba share, with same user, windows boxes can create folder with files in it while linux machines can only create files or folders but no folders with files in them [23:23] Guest83612: yes # is comment [23:23] ok [23:23] does anyone know much about the blackbox windowing manager? I've got a couple questions I'd like answered before I make the switch. [23:23] Guest83612: mind finding a more original nickname by the way? this one gets in the way of my nick completion :P [23:24] Guest83612: normally you only need the deb http.....hary... main line [23:24] hardy [23:24] Hello all, When will be the ubuntu next release?

[23:26] Guest83612: sorry dont know that you cant access the internet [23:26] takamarou when you get to the login screen just click the "sessions" button and it should be there. [23:26] DIFH-iceroot its ok that was way back in the convo [23:26] Guest83612: yeah (although of course that won't get you any real GUI, just the x server) [23:27] has anyone noticed the recent Gutsy upgrades (several apps) causes the system to freeze? i have to now reboot every day and a half or so... [23:27] does anyone here have any experience with backing up dvds in ubuntu?? [23:27] Is there a reason "update-alternatives --list editor" doesn't list gedit if it's installed? [23:27] oh well the x server didn't install anyways [23:27] marnanel: i think that's not for choosing the visual editor, only the command line one [23:27] cause after that i was going to do just a basic gdm [23:27] h3h_timo-> you just make a copy thats all [23:27] noodlesgc, alright cool. I'm assuming you're using blackbox.. is the change between blackbox and the default windows manager in hardy a huge difference? [23:28] oh well :-/ [23:28] Guest83612: you want gnome running? [23:28] amenado, well I mean with acidrip or dvd::rip [23:28] hello, how do i use rhythmbox or some other package to search for daap itunes shares in hardy? [23:28] LjL: thanks. is there an equivalent for any editor? [23:28] takamarou Its is actually quite a difference. I didn't like it so I went back to gnome/metacity [23:28] LjL: I want to make a list of all installed editors, you see, from a script [23:29] h3h_timo-> I'd say you just make a copy thats all, nothing magic [23:29] marnanel: VISUAL is the variable that's supposed to list the preferred X11 editor, but i don't know if there is an update-alternatives to set it [23:29] LjL: oh, I know about VISUAL, I want to give them a choice if it's not set [23:29] amenado, im just having issues with ripping a dvd to avi using acidrip [23:30] hello do kernel 2.6.27 or 26 with 8.04 has Asus xonar support by default then i know to crush that stupid Creative x-fi card that do not have compiled simple drivers with .deb or GUI installer. [23:30] was wondering is there to make a dialog window pop open at a given time using cron ? [23:30] DIFH-iceroot yeah just cause i am planning on using this server as a file (samba) and print server mainly but than i would like to be able to access some media player to play music on. i was just going to set it up on my tv just so i could see the play list and do it easily [23:30] marnanel: there is no sure way. your best bet would be to have a list of common (and uncommon) editors, and probe them all with "which" or something [23:30] l3d: zenity [23:30] LjL: okay, thanks. [23:30] marnanel: besides, even if you could use update-alternatives, that's not portable [23:30] LjL: this is true. [23:30] Guest83612: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop for installiing x-server with gnome [23:31] LjL: (I was going to check for that using which, anyway) [23:31] marnanel : huh [23:31] hello [23:32] i have problem with firefox , bookmarks dont appear to me , and history dont appear too !!!1 , [23:32] l3d: what? [23:32] hello! i have downloaded all the debs for gimp 2.6, what i have to do now? [23:32] DIFH-iceroot: is still said it couln't find the package [23:32] DIFH-iceroot: Guest17863: ubuntu-desktop is a bit excessive for what you need. You can install xorg and build up from there depending on what windows manager you prefer. [23:32] marnanel :nvm I googled zenity I didnt know what you was saying thats all [23:32] !ubuntu-desktop [23:32] k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [23:33] l3d: zenity is the program which makes a dialogue pop up. Run it from cron. [23:33] nice thank you [23:33] marnanel: wait, there is one thing that might help a little... a properly packaged editor "Provides: editor" (though i'm not sure how many editors are properly packaged) [23:33] any body can help me here ? [23:34] sabaua: dpkg -i [23:34] LjL: So I should file bugs against ones like gedit which don't? [23:34] sabaua: pardon, you need to sudo that [23:34] hello do kernel 2.6.27 or 26 with 8.04 has Asus xonar soundcard support in by default then i know to crush that stupid Creative x-fi card with hammer that do not have compiled simple drivers with .deb or GUI installer [23:34] BACKTRACK3 OWNZZ [23:34] first i have to change into the folder with the debs [23:34] pasteeater: i am trying to install form the 8.4 desktop cd is there any different command lines? === wardy is now known as SgtWardy [23:34] sabaua: correct! [23:34] is 2.6.27 nvidia tnt2 in the kernel? [23:34] thanks [23:34] marnanel: no, i'm not so 100% sure. maybe only CLI editors (i.e. the ones that are candidates to the EDITOR variable) should provide that [23:35] !backtrack3 [23:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about backtrack3 [23:35] because i can't find proprietary drivers [23:35] i have problem with firefox , bookmarks dont appear to me , and history dont appear too ?! [23:35] Ganjafreak12 [23:35] marnanel: at any rate, aptitude search "~Dprovides:editor" will give you some selection of editors [23:35] * marnanel will contact the gedit people and ask. Thanks. [23:35] * marnanel nods [23:35] thanks [23:35] LjL: i have problem with firefox , bookmarks dont appear to me , and history dont appear too ? [23:35] kebomix: i don't use firefox, sorry [23:36] LjL: ok do u have any other idea about how to Reinstall it ? [23:36] LjL: What is your browser? [23:37] Guest17863: heh. i forgot that people usually don't use the alternate disc or the mini.iso. I haven't used the normal disc in years. [23:37] heirenton: konqueror [23:37] kebomix: You can reinstall it from Synaptic, but i don't know if it erase all you want back... [23:37] kebomix: sure, sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox-3.0 [23:37] i have forgot my password for nickserv, what to do [23:37] kebomix: but i'm not so sure that would help, it's probably a problem with your user [23:37] lovre: ask in #freenode (if you have an email set on that nick, otherwise tough luck) [23:38] LjL, thanx === doles is now known as doles284 [23:39] kebomix: see if you can restore a backup of your bookmarks from Organise Bookmarks...

[23:43] Guest17863: wow. that's quite an explanation. [23:43] does anyone know of a way to diable kde4 desktop effects from the command line? [23:44] hi [23:44] Hi. I need to setup a dual-boot with WIndows Vista and I don't know if it's safe to resize the Windows partition with the Ubuntu installer. Is there any risk to loose information THanks in advance [23:44] Why is my desktop showing my normal launchers as text .desktop files? [23:44] why the hell [23:44] hey, is there any way to install previous versions of packages in the synaptic repo? [23:44] yeah [23:44] This is the first time in many years that I setup a dual boot... [23:44] the livecd wont even load in boot, but it will load just fine in vmware [23:44] stupid!!!!!! [23:44] misterwk1: ja! [23:44] but why it dont save history anymore ? [23:44] hi [23:45] gustavonarea:just don't resize it too small [23:45] pasteeater: yeah i'm in a very weird predicament.... so i commented out all the repositories except the cdrom so is there a way to list all the packages i could install will apt-get ****** (somthing)??? [23:45] and it dont accept new bookmarks [23:45] gustavonarea: it's pretty safe, but there is a risk. if you can't afford to lose the data, backup first [23:45] kebomix: Did you install any new addons? [23:45] no [23:45] misterwk1: but that is a bit off topic, and we're mostly english here too [23:45] <[Solars]> anyone familiar with WINE? [23:45] !anyone [23:45] [Solars]: ja!

The shares would not mount but as soon as i delete wine its fine. what could the problem be?

[23:48] is there a way to find out what is seeting my wallpaper? [23:48] kebomix: If it is about firefox, it would work for sure. But somehow it sounds it is not exactly about Firefox. [23:48] LjL: I just installed it but did not start it and it would not let the share mount [23:48] ha [23:48] aha saw the bot msg... [23:49] thanks [23:49] thanks [23:49] gustavonarea: There is SOME risk associated with it, but if you let the installer handle it itself, it usually turns out okay.

Running at a really low resolution [23:52] LjL: names [23:52] i cant remove firefox [23:52] rampageoberon: try with IPs. WINE depends on something called "winbond" that has to do with NetBIOS(?) name resolution [23:52] ha [23:52] redf1sh: well, it looks like its created by apple or something, but the site I got this from clearly lists it as a 32-bit linux applications [23:52] kebomix: somethingrandom means it will be a dir with a random name [23:52] kebomix: Are you only user using that computer or?

[23:53] no my brother use it , but dont know wut he did [23:53] LjL: Oh okay, i'll try ip's.

[23:56] redf1sh: ok, but that site just links to the same basic page I was on with an .rpm and a .bundle file avaliable. I've tried to use alien to convert the file but it doesnt seem to work... I can see the file created while alien is working, but when it finishes the file disappears. So I thought I'd try the .bundle instead [23:56] still shows the desktop.. any other ideas? [23:56] Ljl so I changed the rate to 31.5 but now I can only get low red [23:56] rampageoberon: you'll have less luck with numerical ips [23:57] trajkovic: If you want to remove all files you can use Gparted for it... [23:57] Luminerd__: 31.5 is a hideous refresh rate, if that's the *vertical* rate. try 60Hz.

Vert is 50-150 [23:58] Trajkovic: then yeah, like we've been saying, just wipe it with gparted [23:58] rampageoberon: no, sorry, I only caught the end of the conversation. I do know that I've tried numerical ip's with samba many times and it relies on the netbios names [23:58] redfish: yeah i just got vmware server, but it doesnt work with my ipod touch, which is mostly the reason I want to use it for. I don't understand why that instal came in a tar.gz but not this one. [23:58] jrib: false is what it returns [23:58] Trajkovic: Yeah, you could just reformat it. Safer than rm -r -ing it. [23:59] rampageoberon: are you trying to mount a SMB share? [23:59] Deiselton: what command are you running to attempt to change the background? [23:59] Trajkovic: safer AND easier, really [23:59] bobertdos: yep, will try it ;) [23:59] leslieviljoen: yes [23:59] trebnoj: no clue, they might just be lazy :p.
