Today when I try to use it after entering the command terminal responds with " reading filenames from STDIN " and stops for good at that point. Any ideas as to how I can fix this would be greatly appreciated. [00:01] soundray, ahhh its worse, everything is bigger and I can't make it smaller! the best res I can use is 640x480 with 54HZ for refresh!

[00:04] bobertdos, i understand, i'm talking in #samba now [00:04] Spherous: thinking [00:04] is their anyway to get a good working internet explorer [00:04] randy: no, not even on Windows [00:04] Martin: tar.bz2 [00:04] Fat_Man, you could write this to do the very same thing. rename 's/(.*) - (.*)\. / $2 - $1./' * [00:04] soundray, what do you think epia is useful for? [00:04] lol [00:04] true [00:04] artic: ar u asking me? [00:04] Lina: sorry [00:04] randy, why do you want to use internet explorer? [00:04] my video drivers went FUBAR after installing....

[00:05] soundray, the eeepc doesnt have a lot of hd space though [00:05] pyMonty: i did that but its still not working [00:05] unop: Bingo! Space as you noted was missing! Thank you!

[00:06] Spherous: that's a library AFAIK [00:06] Lina: It's Blender Tar, that I am trying to install in /opt/blender [00:06] $ xbacklight -set 50 [00:06] No outputs have backlight property [00:06] how to solve it? [00:06] lina, O.o, I used it before, its like the linux version of google chrome~ [00:07] soundray: any other ideas [00:07] Arctic: tar xjvf .tar.bz2 [00:07] cilkay: only 100 files per directory max. Did 5 directories the other night and all worked well so will continue with what I have. Thanks for input! Cheers! [00:07] Lina, you have to compile it though [00:07] Spherous: oh, I thought it was just the library, like libmozlib [00:07] lina, nope~ [00:07] Spherous: I think you could try to run nvidia-xconfig to create a new xorg.conf [00:07] lina: just extract it to some folder [00:08] jakisktos: did you spell Ethernet with a capital E in that command? [00:08] then compile it, [00:08] martin__: Arctic ^ [00:08] nope, it's self sustained [00:08] soundray, explain how~ when I run sudo nvidia-xconfig in a shell it just spits out some stuff then gives me a new line to type on [00:08] I previously had gcc version 4.3 and I need to use version 4.2 or lower. So I just installed gcc version 4.2 but I don't know how to use that one. Anytime I try and compile it is still using 4.3. Any help? [00:08] soundray: yes, new empty line break was appear [00:09] Spherous: put that some-stuff on a pastebin [00:09] perillux: gcc-4.2 [00:09] !pastebin > Spherous [00:09] Spherous, please see my private message [00:09] what kind of program could i use to my my own explorer [00:09] jakisktos: could you run 'lspci' and pastebin the output [00:09] !pastebin > jakisktos [00:09] jakisktos, please see my private message [00:09] Spherous, try the Package EnvyNG [00:10] How do I install flash player on firefox, I did sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree but firefox still will not play flash [00:10] soundray: http://pastebin.com/m2b56fea9 [00:10] are there any jobs with ubuntu for tech support specialist not a developer? [00:10] lina: thanks lina. However, it is compiling with a makefile. how do I fix this? can I just go into the makfile and make some changes? [00:10] LordFDisk: that's what he's done. Can you guide to the next step? [00:10] ubuntu_todd; [00:10] really ? [00:10] ive got a funny bugi just upgraded to intrepid today and every time i open firefox it goes to full screen mode and f11 wont rectify it any ideas ? [00:10] perillux: yeah. there may be an "update-gcc-alternatives", I'm not sure [00:11] soundray: i didn`t found nothing about lan or ethernet cards [00:11] hemmm it should have installed everything [00:11] Spherous: looks like you need to restart X server (ctrl-Alt-Backspace) [00:11] What is the command to go into display properties?? sudo gtk something isntit? [00:11] perillux: I'm certain that java had a similar update-*-alternatives [00:11] soundray, alright. brb [00:11] how can i get hal/dbus to unload a module before Suspend and reload it after? [00:11] alphaman1101: gksudo [00:11] jewbilee: Are you running a 64-bit system? [00:11] lina: but how do I change it in the makefile. I don't see any lines that I could change from gcc to gcc-4.2. I did a search in it for gcc and it had no results. [00:11] soundray: if i type ifnofig appears only lo device [00:11] why is there a blank space on the left side in my prompt? export PS1="\033[31m\]\u@\h:\033[0m\]" [00:12] soundray, it didn't change anything [00:12] bobertdos: sorry, I just actually restarted firefox and its working, thanks though [00:12] linny, no that gives a run dialog. i need something that edits the display proerties [00:12] lina, perillux: it does, sudo update=java-alternatives [00:12] jakisktos: could you run 'lspci' and pastebin the output [00:12] solds to me that they might need to load the Vid Driver from the command line out of X-Windows [00:12] how can I make konsole transparent in gnome pleasE? [00:12] hello, anyone running ubuntu on mac-intel?

[00:12] bobertdos: lina: but what exactly does that do? [00:12] AzizLight: profle settings for the terminal [00:12] oops solds = Sounds [00:12] what's the command to mount an external hard drive with read/write permissions? [00:13] DIFH-iceroot: im not getting into that. there was a gui for it. sudo display-gtk or something [00:13] what about lindowns [00:13] soundray, yeah, but only to make everything bigger, my smallest res there is 600x480 [00:13] I'm trying out ibex and getting an annoying issue -- networkmanager recognizes my Sierra 881U just fine but it fails to actually connect with it. The log has it giving up right after 'associating with network' (the AT+COPS line) going 'Setting APN Failed' (though it never set the apn based on that, and I've tried the built-in apn setting for at&t as well as the one I use when I dial it with wvdial.) It also doesn't use the righ [00:13] atmat: i run hardy and debian sid on my macbook. [00:13] DIFH-iceroot: I tried that it doesnt work, I get a solid color instead everytime [00:13] bobertdos, lina: I don't want gcc-4.2 permanently. I just need to compile 1 thing and then I can get rid of it [00:13] Aziz! LIGHT! [00:13] thank you Aziz. [00:13] LordFDisk, I already ran the driver out of a shell with the x server closed [00:13] Spherous: try configuring your display with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' [00:13] lol [00:13] I am not able to slideshow ppt files with latest RC of openoffice, anyone knows why this can be? Using RC3 and Ubuntu 8.04 [00:13] perillux: well, use it and uninstall it [00:14] !intrepid > Quinn_Storm [00:14] Quinn_Storm, please see my private message [00:14] perillux: What are you needing to compile? [00:14] bobertdos, lina: but I don't know how lina, that's why I'm asking. [00:14] soundray, its the same there [00:15] bobertdos, lina: bobertdos I need to compile something with a makefile [00:15] f [00:15] how do i change the screen resolution on the log in screen [00:15] bobertdos: but if I just run the makefile as is, then it will use gcc version 4.3 [00:15] Spherous: even if you select a generic display with an appropriate resolution? [00:15] soundray, I selected the driver by make and model now, gonna restart and see if that fixes it [00:15] i know there's a good disk space utility for linux that gives you an idea which folders are taking up the most space,etc... but i can't think of the name, anyone? [00:16] bobertdos: so I'm wondering how I can run the makefile with gcc-4.2 I thought I could just open up the makefile and change all the lines that say "gcc" to "gcc-4.2" but it doesn't have "gcc" anywhere in it [00:16] gnychis: du -hs * [00:16] perillux: 'sudo apt-get install gcc-4.2', then go to /usr/bin and find out which links point to 4.3. Change all of them to point to 4.2 [00:16] gnychis: if you want a gui search for disk in your package manager [00:16] gnychis: it's on application > accesorics > disk usage bla bla [00:17] soundray: how am I supposed to "find out which links point to 4.3" ? [00:17] i have an external ntfs drive that is alwayys giving me trouble. does linux have a utility that might help me diagnose whats wrong with it? [00:17] what program would i use to log on to someones computer [00:17] z [00:17] perillux: 'ls -l /usr/bin | grep ^l | grep 4.3' [00:17] randy, usually ssh [00:18] soundray: bobertdos: lina: it sounds like you all are giving me permanent ways to convert to 4.2. I just want to compile a single file with it. [00:18] anyone have ever used playonlinux? [00:18] perillux: this is permanent for as long as you don't change the links back to point to 4.3 [00:18] soundray: Okay, my idea didn't work [00:18] soundray, what was that line again? [00:19] xim_, put it into a windows box, run the defrag stuff and so forth and then have a new look at it, btw it is more offtopic than on topic here [00:19] soundray: earlier you told me to install 4.2 (i've now done that) and then you said I just have to edit the makefile. is that still an option? [00:19] anyone ever have success in running wow on ubuntu? [00:19] Spherous: I'm not going to repeat anything for you. If you value my advice, you make a note. [00:19] wow [00:19] no one here here ever installed wow? [00:19] ompal: world of warcraft [00:20] perillux: no, you said that the makefile does not call gcc directly. So change the links. [00:20] martin__, search wiki.ubuntu.com there is a help page there [00:20] soundray, O.o I was just wondering the line to open that screen up again, the gtk something one~ I didn't write it down and since I rebooted I don't have it in the chat anymore [00:20] martin__: i've seen it played through wine with no problems. [00:20] i did,. but i got some problem [00:20] martin__: wine works good just follow their instructions that they have as well if you get confused [00:20] i did everything [00:20] but no sound after i fixed graphic [00:20] Spherous: 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' === dholbert_ is now known as dholbert [00:21] everything works fine, but no sound on wow and shift key is not working either [00:21] soundray, yeah that one. I'm going to try the generic monitor like you said, but it asks for a driver, where do I find the driver for it? [00:21] what about pulseaudio? should i replace it with alsa? [00:21] Spherous: it shouldn't ask for a driver [00:21] ompaul: hmm ok i figured i could trust linux based diagnostic utilities more but ill ask in ##windows [00:22] ciao [00:22] ! [00:22] soundray: ok I ran that command and I found which files have 4.3 in it. Do I have to manually open each one and replace the 4.3 with 4.2? [00:22] martin__, search wiki.ubuntu.com there is a help page there read it again [00:22] Soundray, well I clicked LCD Panel 1024x768 and hit add, and it asks for a driver [00:22] perillux: Read the manpage for GCC. I know there's a target option for specifying the version in there somewhere. [00:23] martin__, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [00:23] soundray, nevermind, I should of pressed ok. wants me to restart again, brb [00:23] perillux: no. Example, when you update cpp, you type 'sudo ln -sf cpp-4.2 cpp' [00:23] what do i type in console to figure out what wireless card im using? [00:23] perillux: (assuming that you did a 'cd /usr/bin' at some point before that [00:23] ) [00:23] ompaul: that's what i've been followed but i can't hear anysound, even i followed it's instruction [00:23] hey I just used the lice cd to boot my system. How do I access the local encryptet partition? [00:23] live [00:23] what do i type in console to figure out what wireless card im using? [00:24] lspci -i | grep wireless slammed87d21 [00:24] soundray: I don't follow... all I did was sudo apt-get install gcc-4.2 and then I ran that command you gave me "ls -l /usr/bin | grep ^l | grep 4.3" [00:24] I try stall kubuntu on my laptop bat after i've selected the language the display just showes horizantal bars. [00:24] slammed87d21: it depends on which bus it is connected to [00:24] HNSZ: #kubuntu for help [00:25] slammed87d21 did that get it? [00:25] perillux: that command gave you a list of links in /usr/bin that point to components of gcc-4.3. Now you should do a 'cd /usr/bin' to change to that directory [00:25] Hello, upon inspection of dmesg, I noticed that boot time is halted for a long time "checking for custom DSDT". Is there any way to stop this check? [00:25] perillux: when you're there, replace those links in the way I explained for cpp [00:25] it said there was an argument with -i [00:26] how can i restart winbind ? [00:26] martin__, never did wow but I would suggest that you do no music or you tube just to check it === andrea is now known as Guest45713 [00:27] perillux: I hope you don't mind me saying it, but if you have such little understanding, you should really stick with released versions... Betas are for testing -- not ideal for newcomers [00:27] "lspci -i | grep wireless" slammed87d21 type all of that in the same line without the quotes (btw an argument is not something negative, it's just input) [00:27] ompaul, well, first i got everything working fine. but after i installed pulse audio [00:27] it just gone [00:27] ok, just a sec [00:27] I have a core2duo t5670, How do I know if it's 64bit for choosing the right download? [00:27] soundray: ya I know.. But I was asked by the kernel dev team to test out Intrepid because I was having suspend/hibernate problems and intrepid automatically comes with 4.3 [00:28] HNSZ: it is 64bit compatible, but you can install the 32bit version just as well [00:28] Well, .wine got deleted. Is there any way I can just get the default .wine folder back? [00:28] soundray: but anyways.... so for example. I would change the link "cpp" from "cpp-4.3" to "cpp-4.2" correct? and if so, sorry but... how? [00:28] Creative Soundblaster Live Value installed on my computer, for some reason I'm not getting any sound...anybody want to take a stab at how to go about troubleshooting this? Thanks in advance for your help [00:28] hi [00:28] perillux: I told you. Too bad you missed it [00:28] martin__, why did you do that? [00:28] it brought up the same thing again === mike is now known as Guest12635 [00:29] I just loaded ubuntu and I have a littletrouble with the web browser [00:29] perillux: no. Example, when you update cpp, you type 'sudo ln -sf cpp-4.2 cpp' [00:29] slammed87d21 [00:29] let me see [00:29] yes? [00:29] hi [00:29] It won't accept tds.net [00:29] HNSZ: and truth be told, unless you have 4 gigs of RAM or more, the 64-bit version doesn't do you incredibly much good (as long as you're not a stickler about benchmark speeds) [00:29] I need some help. I installed Hardy Ubuntu on one Hard drive, (second on the list) (Third is for backup), and before that I had XP. XP is on the first hd. Grub was installed on the second hd, so grub doesn't load during start up. When I make the computer start up from the second hd with UBuntu on it, and I select xp from the list, it doesn't load. I'd like to be able to load grub at startup automatically, and be able to access both os's. [00:29] perillux: make a note of which ones you changed, so you can change them back when you're done compiling [00:29] In Fedora there is a way to set default runlevel to stop the GUI from booting, what is the way to do this in Ubuntu? [00:29] ompaul: just want to try out new stuff... [00:30] soundray, perillux - don't mine me interrupting - but isn't this a reason why you should be using alternatives [00:30] any french speakers here? [00:30] s/mine/mind/ [00:30] what exactly is pulseaudio though? === lulz is now known as lol [00:30] !pulse | martin__ [00:30] unop: alternatives doesn't support gcc in hardy... has that changed in intrepid? [00:30] martin__: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [00:30] So, how do I get all pages to load? [00:31] martin__. http://www.linux.com/feature/119926 found this on google [00:31] slammed87d21 sorry it's "lspci | grep Wireless" without the quotes. That should do it [00:31] obottu: do we really need it? is that the same kind like alsa? [00:31] Creative Soundblaster Live Value installed on my computer, for some reason I'm not getting any sound...anybody want to take a stab at how to go about troubleshooting this? Thanks in advance for your help [00:31] how does ubuntu control OSD (for example when I adjust the volume) I mean with what app does it display it? [00:31] can anyone give me some guidelines in editing /etc/nsswitch.conf [00:31] [00:31] I just installled DIA-0.94 I am wondeirng how to start it? [00:32] soundray, hmm, alternatives should work for anything - basically all it does is create symlinks for you but with multiple intermediaries in /etc/alternatives - so you can switch easily between them using update-alternatives [00:32] martin__: It's basically an extension of ALSA, brand new to Hardy, which is why it still has some bugs. [00:32] bobertdos: thanks, can i just uninstall it then? [00:32] or another words i need help with getting samba to join my domain and share a hard drive with windows [00:33] bobertdos: it seems like i messedup /etc/asound.conf [00:33] martin__: I wouldn't recommend it. Pulse and Alsa are somewhat intertwined. [00:33] does anyone know how to start DIA-0.94 after installing it? [00:33] aj my info might be out dated but i believe windows :-( insists on starting first [00:33] <^DeathKiNG^> [KiNGScript] Test [00:34] unop: please go ahead and tell perillux that... For me, update-alternatives gcc has never worked (unlike e.g. for java) [00:34] Rickzilla: Try clicking System > Preferences > Sound Preferences. See if your card is at least listed. [00:34] hey ChryLimeade do you know how to start DIA after installing it? [00:34] Can someone help me figure out why I'm getting no sound? Someone patient because I'm computer illiterate [00:34] Can anyone tell me what run level I would need to set to boot without GUI and possibly how to set that? [00:35] ChryLimeade: Yeah, it's listed on the device list [00:35] Bigshot, I don't, I haven't had any experience with that. Sorry man. [00:35] bustaplz: runlevel 3 which ubuntu uses by default you have to use a command like update-init.d or something to disable gdm from starting on boot [00:35] rickzilla: but just plain no sound? that's weird. [00:35] bustaplz: you can boot in single user mode by selecting Recovery mode from the grub menu at boot time [00:35] nope, no sound at all [00:36] bobertdos: so how do i get around it? [00:36] well, it makes a noise when I turn the computer on..but no other time [00:36] I'm not sure I want single user mode. This machine will be headless and I just want to disable I guess X or gdm to save resources. [00:36] I'm not sure where to go from here [00:36] I've done this on Fedora in the past but can't seem to figure it out for Ubuntu. [00:36] bustaplz: in that case you shouldn't mess with runlevels [00:36] yea, the fact that it's listed but just doesn't work is odd to me. === mel is now known as Guest47348 [00:37] Okay, so should I be telling gdm or X not to run on boot? [00:37] bustaplz: just 'sudo update-rc.d gdm remove' [00:37] martin__: Other than switching gstreamer-properties and the rest of the sound settings to Alsa, there's not a whole lot you can do safely. [00:37] on hitting play test sound i get audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused [00:37] bobertdos: how do u switch gstreamer-properties? [00:37] bustaplz: Ubuntu uses upstart, which is a modern replacement for the old SysV style runlevels and stuff that Fedora has [00:37] Rickzilla: Try going to System > Administration > hardwre drivers. Does it say there are any problems? [00:38] oh okay [00:38] bobertdos: are u talking about one specific program, "gstreamer" or the whole system? [00:38] i'll try that command and get back to you, thanks for the help [00:38] linux sound is confusing [00:38] (yea, it is) [00:38] do I need to stop gdm first? [00:39] bustaplz: no [00:39] bustaplz: the command only removes the startup links [00:39] ChryLimeade: none listed there [00:39] is intrepid ibis out? package manager jsut started dist-upgrade! [00:39] can someone recommend the best setup for linux sound? like which packages [00:40] zeno__: nope it's beta from what I can see [00:40] Hey the pages displayed in my firefox never reach the edges of my screen, even when I zoom in, the stuff gets bigger but the formatting makes to big white bars run down the side. How can I make pages load in the entire firefox window so I can actually see them the way they are supposed to be? I have to magnify EVERY page at LEAST three times to even attempt to read it. (My monitor is also not that great) Does anyone know why Firefox won [00:41] um/.. how can I set up my xubuntu hardware? it doesn't detect my sound card, or do I need to run menuconfig ? [00:41] soundray: Hey, when I rebooted it, it put me in low-graphics mode [00:41] soundray: and my res is now 800x600, still far off from what it should be [00:42] If I change page style to no style, it looks like crap but goes to the edges, but basic page style looks better but it all skinny and narrow. ANyone? [00:42] Rickzilla: try this. Go into terminal, and type alsamixer and it'll show a list of different volume levels. are anything like "master" or "pcm" turned all the way down? [00:42] Spherous: is it running displayconfig-gtk for you? [00:42] soundray: yeah [00:43] Just 3D control, and Surround [00:43] Spherous: are all the settings in there sensible? [00:43] oh my god, 1322 users :S [00:43] soundray, what do you mean? [00:44] hmmm...well, at least try turning those up (press left and right, then up and down to adjust volume), it atleast wouldn't hurt. See if that makes any difference. [00:44] Hi guys, any guides to installing PHP-GTK on 8.04? [00:44] Spherous: go through all the settings and make sure they are what you expect [00:44] hey everyone I have a dell vostro 1000 and found out that for some reason ubuntu works better on my dell laptop... I wonder would ubuntu uses some specific patches so it happens? [00:45] ChryLimeade: They don't turn up or down [00:45] Ohhh...hmm. [00:45] I did find a driver that might work, though...how do I install those? [00:45] soundray: well I don't expect the monitor to be Plug 'n 'play [00:45] Hi guys, any guides to installing PHP-GTK on 8.04? [00:45] soundray, or the res to be 800x600 [00:45] Spherous: so change them appropriately [00:46] soundray, the res wont go up to what it should be [00:46] soundray, it sets 800x600 to the maximum [00:46] Spherous: just switch away from the Plug and Play default [00:46] rickzilla: I'm going to send you a URL, hang on. [00:46] alsa cannot load drivers hmmm [00:46] Hello, Were is the FTP folder for an apache server? [00:46] On buntu hardy [00:46] Hi. First time Ubuntu user. Can anyone help me with aliases?

[00:52] I'm having some issues with my ubuntu machine shutting off randomly, I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue but are there any logs I can check to rule out a software issue? [00:52] Does anyone know how to setup remote control to ubuntu [00:52] Spherous: switch the video card driver to nv [00:52] from xp [00:52] windows xp [00:52] remote control, as in remote desktop? [00:52] Nitecon remote desktop [00:53] soundray, what was the gtk command again? gksudo displaysoemthing gtk [00:53] or just console level? [00:53] I need to preview images saved in the Targa format as they would be shown inside the Quake 3 engine as shaders. Is there a way to view them without re-coding an entire mod for Quake? [00:53] can anyone help me?

[00:57] is there anyway to manulla start apache in the foreground? [00:57] il y a na qui parle francais [00:57] Use the item already installed under SYSTEM > PREFERENCES > Remote Desktop [00:57] I installed ubuntu on a second hard drive and made a /boot partition and told the installer to use that partition to install the boot loader but boot and get the old one still [00:57] you can configure the ubuntu side there. [00:58] Can anyone tell me how to pretty much do a 'system restore' on ubuntu to like 3 hours ago? [00:58] can EVGA e-GeForce 8400GS Graphics Card run compiz smoothly? [00:58] <_haywire_> can anybody tell me if there's a fix for running mirc scripts in wine when the script complains about spaces in the script directory [00:58] martin__, yes, easily [00:58] do I need move physically move switch the hard disks locations and if I do that will it screw things up because the system will think the locations are the old ones [00:58] Nitecon What is vncviewer bravo7-desktop:0 use for??????? [00:58] Spherous, and do u know if it could handle 3d game like call of duty 4 or wow? [00:59] Spherous, i found it's really cheap and now time to switch [00:59] martin__, lol yeah it will, I have a 7950 and I can run COD4 on full, your like 5 steps up from me [00:59] how do i zero out the mbr of a certain hard drive ? [01:00] vncviewer is so you can connect from windows xp or vista to ubuntu [01:00] Spherous, it's only 30 bucks, after rebate anyone want to upgrade: http://www.buy.com/prod/evga-e-geforce-8400gs-graphics-card-nvidia-geforce-8400gs-459mhz-512mb/q/loc/101/206709003.html [01:00] http://www.uvnc.com/ [01:00] thats a site to get it for your xp/vista box [01:00] If I have an ubuntu 64bit cd from 7.10 , will I be able to upgrade to hardy within that os ? Or will I have to download the image and reinstall everything all over again? I'm saying this because I am about to install, but want hardy 64. Can't wait for ISO to download : ) [01:00] is there a gui app to set up a laptop as a router [01:00] ?? [01:01] uvnc.com [01:01] then just make sure your remote desktop is set up on the ubuntu side with SYSTEM > PREFERENCES > Remote Desktop [01:01] Spherous, have u ever installed wow on ubuntu? does it work properly? [01:01] martin__, crapy fan on it [01:01] Nitecon i can't get into uvnc.com [01:01] yep thats it [01:01] !who | Nitecon [01:01] Nitecon: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:01] use www infront [01:01] Good morning. I'm having a strange problem. if i run a program (bacula) from the command line, then listens in the background. if i run it from init.d, it doesn't stay running? any ideas? [01:01] martin__, yeah, its hard as hell to get to work with Wine, but I haven't tried it with Cedega yet [01:01] reticula: If by router, you mean firewall, you could use firestarter. It's a frontend for iptables, really. [01:01] <_haywire_> what's good about it? [01:02] Spherous, so have u ever got it working? i could only played it but no sound [01:02] Nitecon so when i download it i i punch in the vncviewer bravo7-desktop:0 [01:02] mounting a drive by double clicking in nautilus gives "Cannot mount volume" "You are not privileged to mount this volume"... why not? How are permissions being determined? [01:02] martin__, yes I did get it working [01:02] Oxygenfa1: If you save your /home directory you should be able to reload it or you may simply be able to choose load profile from the old install during the new installation [01:02] Nitecon and the password [01:02] Spherous, can u post ur conf file? [01:03] sudo dkpg --configure -a Setting up bluez-gnome (0.25-0ubuntu1) ... [01:03] Oxygenfa1: You may also run a command to upgrade instead of installing from an iso [01:03] martin__, but like I said, it was hard to do. Don't expect any help from Blizz either, they would rather you spend 200$ on a Windows key to play their game than to help you with linux, even if it meant canceling your subscription [01:03] Spherous, i just removed everything [01:03] Why would a service not stay running from init.d? no errors when it runs the script, and runs fine when calling directly [01:03] martin__, I don't have it anymore [01:03] godlygeek: Manual mounting is accomplished via the terminal, using sudo. [01:03] bravo7 you will just click to allow other users to view my desktop, and allow it to be controlled === jimmacdonald is now known as os2_laptop [01:04] Spherous, thanks though [01:04] Is there a way to Dim the screen.....Im on a desktop.... [01:04] bobertdos: i have wireless 1900mghz connection here from my work. i want to plug in my router so i can get other copies of ubuntu updated at home on other computers (the old ones). [01:04] martin__ I would try using Cedega though, even though you have to pay, its a supported game and their tech support will help you with getting it set up [01:04] finally It almost working the failsafe Gnome is running in 1024*768 mode but GNOME in the main sessions gives me a blank page! [01:04] bravo7 then you can enable a password, and on the windows machine with ultra vnc you just type in the ubuntu machine's ip address. [01:04] Thanks DaveKong [01:04] AlabamaHit; if you're using compiz possibly.. you could ask in #compiz-fusion to verify [01:04] is there a problem to use failsafe instead of the main GNOME session ? [01:04] bobertdos: i know that. i want to figure out why automatic mounting doesn't work. [01:04] martin__ Cedega is only 25$ for a 6 month subscription, and 45$ for a year [01:05] !info cedega | martin__ [01:05] martin__: Package cedega does not exist in hardy [01:05] Nitecon how would i check the ipaddress of ubuntu [01:05] bobertdos: i *can* mount it with "sudo mount", but not with "gnome-mount" [01:05] Spherous, do u think it's a big different between Radeon ATI intergrated and GeForce 8400 512 MB? [01:05] join #ubuntu-co [01:05] bravo7 in the terminal type ifconfig [01:05] obttu, it doesn't ? [01:05] godlygeek: Have you added an fstab entry for the drive? [01:05] martin__ unless your going back to Windows, don't use ATI [01:05] S [01:05] can anybody help me I want to see my desktop on my tv how does that work? [01:06] bravo7 that will display your ip address, the address you need is associated with eth0 [01:06] martin__ they work horribly with linux, NVIDIA is the best~ [01:06] Spherous, that's what i have right now, ATI intergrated on board 128mb [01:06] anybody have problem with firefox crasshing [01:06] bobertdos: no. i don't want to have to do that; i want it to handle /dev/sda4 like it would handle a flash drive being added. [01:06] martin__ put the NVIDIA in [01:06] Spherous, no wonder :0p [01:06] i don't have it yet, but soon :-) [01:07] bravo7 if you prefer you can right click on the icon in the system tray named Wired network connection and click on connection info [01:07] martin__ Alright [01:07] godlygeek: An external drive, eh? [01:07] My USB subsystem just died. Can somebody help me restore it without having to reboot my computer? [01:07] Spherous, i'll order it right now [01:07] So, anyone able to tell me how to do a 'system restore' to 3-4 hours ago? [01:07] Nitecon I only see Ip address " 192.168.1.27 which is the home [01:07] bobertdos: no, it's a local drive that i want to mount on click, rather than in a terminal, but not mount at boot. [01:08] Shperous, and one more thing, what kind of config do use for sound? ALSA , OGG or pulse?do u use pulse? [01:08] martin__ ALSA [01:08] bobertdos: actually, i guess i can add a line to /etc/fstab with noauto... [01:08] godlygeek, you can use the 'noauto' option in the fstab file to do that. [01:08] martin__ Its OSS, not OGG, by the way~ haha [01:08] bravo7 are you on the ubuntu machine right now? [01:08] godlygeek, and the 'user' or 'users' option would let a user mount/unmount the drive.. (i forget which one, user, or users) [01:08] Spherous, hehe.... and i don't think u could restore. but for some file like xorg.conf it has their own backups [01:08] Spherous: there is no system restore unless you make regular backups. [01:09] Spherous, what do u want to restore? [01:09] bravo7 I will be afk for a few [01:09] yeah, i don't know why i didn't think of just using noauto until i was prodded here... thanks dr_willis, bobertdos [01:10] godlygeek: that would probably be best.......otherwise, I was going to suggest you could gksudo into Nautilus :p [01:10] martin__, I messed up my video drivers and I can't get it fixed [01:10] Nitecon yes i'm using ubuntu rite now [01:10] Dell Vostro 1510... at 94% grub fails to install... no MBR options in BIOS... possible? [01:10] martin__, So I want to just restore it to like yesterdays date or something... [01:10] Spherous, what i did was starting from scratch... and if u know what u changed it'd be a good idea. [01:10] bravo7 if you go under accessories and open Terminal [01:10] sudo rm -rf /home [01:10] bravo7 then type ifconfig [01:11] martin__, my whole screen res is messed up and I'm stuck in low-graphics mode [01:11] Help, i can't get my graphics card to work properly.. I'm stuck at 800x600... would someone please help me? please? pretty please with sugar on top? [01:11] bravo7 you might have to scroll up until you see something like eth0 Link encap:Ethernet [01:11] bobertdos: yep, with a noauto,user mount in /etc/fstab, it mounts when clicked in nautilus. [01:11] if it related to xorg.conf,.... i found some old files of mind from few days ago in the same dir [01:11] Ulairion, seems you and I are in the same boat [01:11] Spherous, tha's what happened to mine too [01:11] Ulairion, no one here seems willing to help either [01:11] bravo7 right below that will be inet addr: that is your ip addresss [01:12] yes Spherous... so much for the whole "community" [01:12]  hi i need help getting my video to work! i did a fresh install of 8.04, and everything works fine.. got the restricted drivers.. got gstreamer.. got everything i thought i needed.. but now all my avi and mpeg files play reallys low and stutter.... ?????? [01:12] martin__ I have no idea how to fix that~ I'm new with linux [01:12] *really slow and stuttery [01:12] Spherous, i cant remember what i did exactly(ATI) [01:12] bravo7 should be something along the lines of 192.168.1.2 etc depending on your network [01:12] Ulairion, demand a refund.. or start giving out some info, like card type. and what you ahve done to try to reinstall the drivers [01:12] Spherous, let me look up very fast [01:12] Ulairion, Spherous: usually depends on the time of day, many here are helpful [01:12] !x | Ularion, Spherous [01:12] Ularion, Spherous: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

Can somebody help me restore it without having to reboot my computer? [01:14] dr_willis: I need to do this on a non-booting filesystem...

Not sure of any other way [01:15] bravo7 if you want to connect to your ubuntu machine from outside of your local lan you will have to do port forwarding to your ubuntu machine. [01:15] Spherous: Generally, what it boils down to is that you manually add resolutions that you know your monitor can support, to the main config file for X. [01:15] dr_willis: tried that; sh is broken [01:15] erUSUL, I'm having the same problem as Ulairion, when I go into gksudo displayconfig-gtk and change it to a generic monitor (Mines not in the list) it puts me in low-graphic mode [01:15] hey, im new to linux and i have a hard drive crisis. if anyone could help me, thatd be great [01:15] btw hi dr_willis, long time no see :) Trying to add Ubuntu to my laptop [01:16] It doesn't say anything about my card.... it shows "generic card" and i can't/don't know how to do anything [01:16] bobertdos: Thats not the whole problem.

[01:22] Spherous , download the program EnvyNG [01:22] It is a graphic utility, does all the hardwork for you ;) [01:22] bobertdos: ok sir, may i date with you? [01:22] c64vsn64, already did, it messed me up, my res is all messed up and I'm stuck in low-graphics mode [01:22] aimsux101: this is a stretch, but do you have vista install cd's? [01:22] or did it just come built on your machine? [01:22] i have the upgrade cd [01:22] oh [01:22] Hello friends [01:22] bunnyto: Uh, no, and please stay on topic [01:22] and a xp cd [01:22] :) [01:23] Is the partition resize (guided thingy on livecd) fail safe? [01:23] Can any one help me with ipv6 go6 tunnel on ubuntu [01:23] and a xp cd [01:23] I'd like to keep my files on the windoze partition :) [01:23] I'd like to keep my files that are* on the windoze partition :) [01:24] Coppershade-org^: no, it's not fail safe. it can fail, resizing partitions always can [01:24] therefore, backups are always recommended [01:24] My USB subsystem just died. Can somebody help me restore it without having to reboot my computer? [01:24] Coppershade-org^: "failsafe" is a pretty absolute term, but it is certainly safer to let the partitioner do it for you than it is to do it yourself [01:24] aimsux101: I would MAYBE recommend booting off the xp cd, I think you can do a boot loader repair with that...I'm just concerned about using that to try to fix a vista boot loader. [01:24] LjL, ok. So I have a D: partition, I go manual and point the livecd to it. Right now the only problem is that at 94% of file copying, grub fails to install. BIOS has no MBR options. [01:25] what do I do? [01:25] this is a Dell Vostro 1510 [01:25] Spherous, reconfigure xserver [01:25] Coppershade-org^: tough luck. you could try the alternate or minimal cds, which, i believe, give you some more options with regards to where grub is installed [01:25] alright, should i be worried if i cant see the hdd at all in linux right now? [01:26] question, do I need install an antivirus in ubuntu? [01:26] RHorse: How? [01:26] Coppershade-org^: as for the reason why grub doesn't install in the first place - well, the cd could be corrupted (you've checked that of course?), or your partition table might be awkward possibly [01:26] MetalHeadDead: NO! In fact, uin my experience, they CAUSE problems. [01:26] aimsux101: Maybe, but if I remember correctly, that could possibly be due to just not mounting it. [01:26] dr_willis: got it - I ran dpkg --get-selections --admindir to specify the dpkg lib path on the broken dir [01:26] So, how do I find out if I am using 64 bit ubuntu or 32 bit ubuntu ? === tta is now known as tta_ [01:26] c64vsn64: uname -m [01:27] ah, found it!! :)) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=691249 === skillz is now known as skilledone [01:27] THanks erUSUL [01:27] Spherous, try http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-how-to-reconfigure-x-windows-system-xorg-server/ or google it [01:27] love-lee === tta_ is now known as tta [01:27] bobertdos: thx i was curious if i needed to or not, I dont think i need a firewall either, i have a hardware firewall in my router [01:27] x86_64 [01:27] ok I'm off to my laptop... hope to see you on xchat ;) [01:27] DOes that mean 64bit ? Yes right ? But isnt x86 32 bit ? [01:27] well, how can i mount it, i used to be able to see it before the problem started. then i accidentally click mount (maybe it was unmount) and thats when i could boot [01:27] MetalHeadDead: an antivirus doesn't do much because there are no Ubuntu viruses in the wild. However, if you're concerned about passing viruses on to Windows-using friends, you can use ClamScan to check for viruses. [01:27] How do I fix this? W: GPG error: http://deb.orangearchive.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 768FA3D9E3E1A434 [01:28] RyanPrior: Thanks [01:28] MetalHeadDead: there's also an online service called VirusTotal which uses a bunch of (free and non-free) virus checkers to analyze a file.

[01:28] if they're using windows and not linux, they aren't true friends [01:28] hmm, I'm having a weird problem on my other Ubuntu Machine - after some time, the keyboard and mouse just stop responding to any clicks [01:28] What about a firewall? Hardware firewall enough? [01:28] do you know if you can boot off your vista disc (even if it's an update disc)? [01:28] LjL, what if I don't know the keyword? [01:28] I know on windows security was a major issue [01:28] I can move the cursor, but it doesn't click [01:28] MetalHeadDead: of course it's enough [01:28] iShock: you google for it === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [01:28] MetalHeadDead: Yep, it is for me.

[01:46] AllNewToMe: you either install the server kernel, or roll your own [01:46] or you live with 3.2 gb [01:47] which to me would seem like the better option *shrug* [01:47] Has anyone here ever had a failed file transfer to a Zen or other MP3 with amarok result in a file deletion instead of a crash?

[02:19] * GodfatherofEir1 is having a slight problem with Amarok, any help would be appreciated [02:19] RyanPrior, actually, would /dev/scd0 make sense? [02:20] takamarou: If you have a SCSI disk, then yes. [02:20] RyanPrior: okay, I understand. I forgot I usually just default to the ubuntu channel for questions, any idea were I can look (IRC perferably) [02:20] Hey hey [02:20] This is a noob question, but where do Bittorrent downloaads go? [02:21] hey, do the ubuntu server install cd's have ssh on as default? [02:21] RyanPrior, ok I did sudo mount /dev/scd0, and got mount: No medium found [02:21] takamarou: That must not be it, then. [02:21] AlabamaHit, no, they stay there until you edit again [02:21] Any one know about how to disable a device?

[02:23] hello [02:23] Not sure, lemme check [02:24] Technoviking: what would be the default user/pass to log in to be able to run an install via ssh? [02:24] Bizzeh: your trying to install via ssh? [02:24] RyanPrior, it's either sda2 or scd0... not 100% sure [02:24] Technoviking: yes...

[02:29] RHorse: only thing is i forget about it and i write codes for people and when i pack them i forget to delte them lol...i guess i just need to start rembering lol [02:29] RyanPrior, correct [02:29] usually Linux devs excel at file systems and networking, so I'm a bit baffled. :) [02:30] takamarou: Is it an external USB drive?

I'll go to the forum with my queries [02:32] why does fedora has 6 CDs to install and Ubuntu has just 1 [02:33] ale_: Fedora includes a lot more software by default. Ubuntu relegates more of it to the repositories. [02:33] RHorse: now that sounds like a great idea :) [02:34] RHorse: only problem is im fairly new to linux and no clue how to do something like that LMAO [02:35] AlabamaHit: are you really laughing, or does your keyboard just lack the period key? [02:36] mneptok: really laughing === mike is now known as Guest24697 [02:36] I need some help with Intrepid [02:36] AlabamaHit, they are really handy.

[02:42] alan, you might have to compile it? or find a .deb you can download online? [02:43] Roey: yes if you get it from one of the servers for it, you can't get it from the Ubuntu reo [02:43] looked on getdeb Nothing! kind of a ubuntu newb [02:43] repo [02:43] SebNaitsabes: ok. [02:43] trying to work my way through it thou [02:43] SebNaitsabes: or I guess I can wait about a month? [02:43] Roey: RC is RC it's not a final [02:44] Roey: when is the final? [02:44] alan, google intltool 0.40.0 .deb and see what you get [02:44] compling it = downloading and ,configure, make etc.. right? [02:44] Roey: and wait a mounth for what? the final of Python or? [02:44] python 3.0 comes out in a month [02:44] =) [02:44] alan, yeah, but always look on the web for the .deb before you do the compiling [02:44] alan, unless you like to compile o.o [02:44] Roey: ok, but hardy heron will probably not have it [02:44] Roey: hell even Intrepid Ibex (the next one) may not just have it [02:45] gotcha - good to know i was on the right track [02:45] mneptok: Any ideas? [02:45] Roey: update just does security updates [02:45] Whats a good program to convert DVDs to avi format? [02:45] Spherous: do you know for certain that the Hardy nividia-glx driver supports that (relatively recent) GPU?

[02:53] and then I'll have to run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:53] compiz is freaking me out... [02:53] Spherous: so that's when you use nvidia-settings to try to correct it [02:53] mneptok: Okay, so I'll check it, and restart, what should I expect when I' [02:53] mneptok: I'm restarting [02:53] my internet is slow [02:54] firefox [02:54] Spherous: expect to have to open the nvidia-settings applet and tweak things [02:54] mneptok: alright, idk how to do that, but I guess I'll figure it out [02:54] nobody has an theories? [02:54] Spherous: it should be in the menus [02:54] mneptok: Alright, I'll be right back [02:55] bustaplz: are power saving options turned on? [02:55] bustaplz : Are you using a laptop ?

[02:59] let me look up the MB [02:59] Gnea: I have two systems here that used to do that, and it was hub/suspend related, even thou it was off...ever 45mins the system would reboot [03:00] i'll pop the case open [03:00] mneptok: Alright, restarted, it put me in low-graphics mode again, and my res went back to 800x600 [03:00] do i need to run emerald to get desktop effects?

[03:02] the idea that it is going into suspend mode sounds about right, but it's completely powered off, think that could just be a bug with the suspend mode?

I have no other way of connecting it to the net. [03:16] rosalatina: Tienes que ir al canal de #ubuntu-es, por favor. [03:17] Is there a command that shows other computers on a network? [03:17] Gnea, is dvd author GUI based? [03:17] is there a way to make ls print the full path for each file? [03:17] As in, displays the computer's name [03:17] ross`: No, ahora usted es falta de respeto del canal. Por favor, escriba / join # ubuntu-es y pedir all antes de que se eliminan.

[03:19] greatchuck: Which drivers are you using for your GPU? [03:19] bobertdos, pardon? [03:19] TechPepsi: does this look like #ubuntu-ppc? [03:19] greatchuck, is your a 3d accelerated graphic adapter ? [03:19] TechPepsi: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.04/release/ [03:19] Gnea, sorry [03:19] so nobody knows anything about illegal write addresses in the ISO?

[03:22] Hi, I m trying to generate an SSL CSR, but when I upload it to godaddy they're throwing back "The CSR you have created includes a possible compromised key" I verified I have the latest version, by attempting an apt-get update and getting back "openssl is already the newest version." thoughts? [03:22] greatchuck: yes, same one, except no grep [03:22] tripitakit, the answer that command gives me is "yes", for direct rendering. [03:23] bobertdos, there's a bunch of info. What should I look for? [03:23] greatchuck: Pastebin the output of glxinfo by itself: paste.ubuntu.com [03:24] ok I give up, I have two cx88_alsa devices in my system, as well as my built on snd_hda_intel, now, I pull any of the cx88_alsa and snd_hda_intel gets index 0, but when I put the 2nd cx88_alsa back in snd_hda_intel gets index 3 ...now tweaking /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base I can get it on index 0, but a reboot, (warm or cold) it goes to index 1...what the frack am I missing? [03:24] Would there be a reason why System>Preferences>Screen Resolution is showing 1024X768 but actual resolution is 800x600?

[03:27] Snowniak: no netsplit [03:27] hehehehe hello everyone [03:27] JackEStorm: are you trying to get the drivers to load in a particular order? [03:27] It's just something that happens with IRC, it's annoying, but nothing to worry about. [03:27] Gnea: yes [03:27] Hrm.. don't see netsplits here. [03:27] i have a website it needs css [03:27] thedarkone, css is clientside and has nothing to do with a server [03:27] bobertdos, why so? [03:27] in my ignores [03:28] anyone free to guide ?? [03:28] i need palit 2600 HD Driver for Ubuntu [03:28] hello [03:28] hello [03:28] Snowniak, no it was a netslpit, not mass kicking lol [03:28] Gnea: snd_hda_intel is my sound out put card, and needs /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer and /dev/pcm ...etc [03:28] *netsplit [03:28] i cant get wireless card for my macbook pro to work [03:28] anyone got a good link? [03:28] Gnea: the other cards are the mixers on DVB cards [03:28] !wifi > zack [03:28] zack, please see my private message [03:29] so css is on client side [03:29] greatchuck: I have yet to run into anyone with a Via Unichrome card who has successfully set up compiz. The drivers just don't support the features needed. [03:29] yes [03:29] thedarkone: yes its the code is on the server but the client renders the page according to the style sheet [03:29] i need palit 2600 HD Driver for Ubuntu [03:29] JackEStorm: so if the tv card gets loaded before the intel_hd does, it becomes /dev/dsp? [03:29] ehh i got a banalistic question [03:29] bobertdos, thanks, anyway. Let me think of buying something better... [03:29] thedarkone: http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/learning [03:29] Gnea: correct [03:30] how can i enable acoustic management? [03:30] :@ [03:30] very_common: what is a palit 2600 hd? [03:30] its a HDMI card [03:30] PCI E [03:30] alteregoa, alsamixer u mean? [03:30] greatchuck: What are the specs of your system otherwise? I ask because theoretically, you don't really need a top of the line card. [03:30] tripitakit, bobertdos, thank you and good bye. [03:30] very_common: Is that a model of an ati card? [03:30] yes [03:30] greatchuck, :) bye [03:30] Radeon 2600 [03:30] !ati > very_common [03:30] very_common, please see my private message [03:31] histo: display is fine but sound not working [03:32] JackEStorm: try adding this to /etc/modprobe.d/options : options snd_hda_intel index=0 [03:32] very_common: well why do you think you need display drivers then? [03:32] !sound > very_common [03:32] very_common, please see my private message [03:32] I don't mean to be off-topic, but what brands ship with those Via Unichrome cards?? I run into them a lot in this channel, and I'm trying to figure out why........ [03:32] Gnea: tried that already, when I do that, there is no snd_hda_intel [03:32] histo i m using HDMI cable [03:32] jordan [03:32] so display is fine [03:32] but sound not working [03:32] JackEStorm: have you tried adding similar options for the cx? [03:32] im running winxp on virtualbox in ubuntu. my max resolution is limited to 1024x768 - anyone know how i can set up virtualbox to support higher resolutions? [03:33] very_common: well your system isn't going to pump sound through the hdmi cable. [03:33] yesit does [03:33] Gnea: yes, did find out that those should not be - numbers (as I thought looking at it, but positive) [03:33] in windows it does [03:33] HDMI means High definatin multimedia interface [03:33] very_common: I know that. [03:33] HDMI can carry both video and audio siglans [03:33] signlas [03:33] very_common: what kind of sound card do you have? [03:34] Gnea: index=3 for the cx88_alsa gives the best result, but snd_hda_alsa changes index on each reboot [03:34] histo lemme check [03:34] from 0 to 1 to 0 again [03:34] JackEStorm: okay - i see why that won't work - check this out: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/MultipleCards [03:34] JackEStorm: you need to make a container for each index [03:34] I have an atheros wireless card and whenever I change the mac address on it via macchanger I no longer have internet.I changed it on ath0, then on ath0 and wifi0, then just wifi0, and none of them worked. [03:35] very_common, converting dvi to hdmi will not provide you with any sound at all [03:35] HDA ATI HDMI sound card [03:35] very_common: i've never seen a setup like that before. Where somehow mysteriously your video card would be able to pump sound throught he hdmi cable. There has to be some sort of software you are using in windows to do that. [03:35] i m onli using drivers [03:35] very_common: unless it is all on one card [03:35] very_common: then youneed to follow the link from ubotu about install proper drivers for your ati card. [03:35] JackEStorm: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/MultipleCards#Loading_the_kernel_modules_for_multiple_cards specifically [03:35] and moreover i have disable default sound card from BIOS [03:35] very_common: and perhaps search the forums ubuntuforums.org [03:36] ya i did [03:36] no help :( [03:36] very_common: what video drivers are you using? [03:36] JackEStorm: thanks for asking that, btw - i had the same problem awhile ago and could never figure it out :) [03:36] I have an atheros wireless card and whenever I change the mac address on it via macchanger I no longer have internet.I changed it on ath0, then on ath0 and wifi0, then just wifi0, and none of them worked. [03:36] histo : http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3509660&csid=ITD&body=WARRANTY#tabs [03:37] Gnea: it's been driving me crazy this week, I added in a DVB-S card to my mythbox, and lost audio [03:37] i m using this product and using HDMI cable for both audio and video [03:37] tigran: perhaps your router is filtering by mac [03:37] very_common: that doens't tell me what video driver you are using in ubuntu. [03:37] histo: nope, its disabled [03:37] JackEStorm: which one? [03:37] its ATI driver [03:37] WinTV-Nova-Plus-S [03:38] restricted ATI drivers [03:38] Who makes the ps5-vm motherboard? [03:38] anyone know of a BitTorrent client that will validate MD5 checksums for your "on-the-fly"? [03:38] tigran: well the process would be to take the interface down the macchanger ethx and bring the interface backup [03:38] Also is there anyway to chage the bios boot image? [03:38] er for you "on-the-fly" [03:38] native support to a usb modem? that's unlikely even to windows I believe [03:38] Will 8.10 use Gnome *.4? [03:38] histo: I do that, ifconfig wifi0 down; macchanger -ea wifi0; ifconfig wifi0 up; /etc/init.d/networking restart [03:39] Gnea: I'm going to order an S2 card this week if I can find someone I trust in NA to order from...the other DVB card is an ATI HD Wonder (ATSC/QAM card...USDVB-T) [03:39] !who > very_common [03:39] very_common, please see my private message [03:39] I need some help with a secondary HDD [03:39] JackEStorm: i'd stick with hauupage [03:39] tigran: works for me without a hitch. [03:39] histo: its ATI RV630 drivers [03:39] histo: same card? [03:39] !ask | AtticusHim3 [03:39] AtticusHim3: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [03:40] very_common: are you using the restrcited drivers or whatever the default install used? [03:40] histo restricted [03:40] Alright. I have just installed a secondary HDD and I can format it and change the label, I just can't see it in computer or actually access it. Any ideas? [03:40] very_common: hrm... well those are drivers from ati. I would maybe check preferences by right clicking on the volume control. Also check alsamixer make sure there aren't outputs muted. [03:41] AtticusHim3: you have to mount the drive. [03:41] in a computer techy way [03:41] !fstab > AtticusHim3 [03:41] AtticusHim3, please see my private message [03:41] lol [03:42] AtticusHim3, man mount [03:42] Is there any way to find a list of computers on a network? [03:42] Via command [03:42] Let me try it. [03:42] God rythmbox sucks always crashes playign radio streams [03:42] Gnea: yeah, I also have a PVR 150 in the system too, but it's hard to get hauupage DVB-S in the US, and I can't find anyone with an S2 in the US, might end up going with one of the other USB devices [03:43] what is the Amarok clone native to GTK?

[03:48] Frijolie: Bittorrent does check MD5s of what it downloads. [03:48] *Frijolie has left [03:48] bobertdos: already is =/ [03:49] Flannel: but how does it know which MD5 sum to check if all you download is the .torrent file? [03:49] JackEStorm: i would be very interested to know how well that goes [03:49] Flannel: do you have to supply the MD5s? [03:49] JackEStorm: notibly, the GEOS [03:49] bobertdos: i read that i shouldnt change the mac on ath0, only wiif0, idk.. [03:49] bobertdos: you're the support guru! You're always in here helping out. [03:50] Gnea: I'll let you know, thats one of the reasons for me getting the -S card, as well at EMWIN [03:50] * bobertdos thinks [03:50] aaron_: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [03:50] Frijolie: The torrent takes care of it [03:51] Flannel: so I don't have to check manually before burning to CD/DVD?

[03:51] bobertdos: oh well [03:51] Frijolie: correct. If you download from a torrent, its been verified. [03:51] aaron_: /join #channelname [03:51] mneptok: I'm using Deluge v 1.0 [03:51] aaron_: you can type in /j #nameofchannel [03:51] JackEStorm: that would so rule. i'm trying to develop a mobile solution using ubuntu for weather spotting/chasing. [03:51] histo: thanks for the help, ill just mess with it a bit more then give up and go cry in a corner [03:51] Frijolie: then you need not MD5sum your downloads [03:52] thanks [03:52] mneptok: Ah, ok cool! I learned something. So the MD5 sums are for verifying a HTTP download? [03:52] Frijolie: and ftp, etc. [03:52] Frijolie: MD5sums can verify anything [03:52] Frijolie: they're for verifying any and all images. [03:53] mneptok: yeah any file, that's right. The download method doesn't matter. [03:53] Yes you can even use md5sums to find certain files. I use them to find kiddy porn on computers i'm investigating. [03:53] Gnea: thats kinda my end thought on all this as well...as well, as get enough realtime data, I can play around with some weather computer models, and work on some ideas I have of my own. [03:54] histo: that's WAY out of line for this channel ... [03:54] histo: not to mention it shows a complete ignorance of what md5 does ;) [03:54] histo: * Frijolie has quit ("Ex-Chat") [03:54] j/k [03:54] mneptok: ? i'm le [03:54] Hi everyone. Anyone got time to help a noob out? Lol :\ [03:54] Frijolie: Please take jokes to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks [03:54] mneptok: and no its not we can search by hashes or md5sums [03:54] Flannel: you guys are hardcore today... [03:55] JackEStorm: do you idle on freenode often? [03:55] PhilipTPixler: We always have time for noobs. [03:55] Frijolie: theres 1300 people in this channel, we're always strict about being offtopic. [03:55] !ask | PhilipTPixler [03:55] PhilipTPixler: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [03:55] an MD5sum is a file integrity checker, right? [03:55] mneptok: excuse my ignorance with the terminology. [03:55] :D lol alright so it's pretty much about the Tkcximage error with aMsn [03:56] Oh haha sorry [03:56] Frijolie: It checks to make sure the hash of the file you have is the same as the hash given to you. [03:56] ok er let me restrart [03:56] Gnea: yes and no, when I'm on, i'm in #asterisk-* and or #myth* mostly, undernet #linux, but I do tend to idle everywhere alot [03:56] Flannel: right, and is all done by some genius algorithm (to get the hash) [03:57] Gnea: I just sometimes forget to log back in to freenode :) [03:57] JackEStorm: awesome [03:57] i have a weird issue with my volume controls [03:58] are there any known issues with the sound volume in Flash video? [03:58] the icon comes up like its adjusting but the sound doesnt adjust and the icon doesnt change [03:58] lol alright so it's pretty much about the Tkcximage error with aMsn. I had installed aMSN and it worked fine *after much labor* so after I did that I set to installing alot of other things which I really don't know what all I installed. So today I went to run aMsn and I received the Tkcximage failed error. I've been reading in the forums and other people have had this problem and it may have something to do with havin [03:58] goodmorning [03:58] Frijolie: with the VOLUME, I don't think so.......with audio in general, definitely [03:58] JackEStorm: i'm usually in here and #ubuntu-offtopic, feel free to PM :) [03:59] bobertdos: I'm still having issues with my sound volume on this laptop. All suggestions have failed. [03:59] bobertdos: it just seems to happen more frequently when watching YouTube videos [03:59] help: my audio doesn't work after hibernate! what can I doo? [03:59] after installing Ubuntu through the "Vista" stand-alone partition, ON the vista (NTFS) partition and booting on linux, i cant find the "vista" stracture. I can boot vista normally and ubuntu too, but when on ubuntu, where did my old files go? [04:00] Frijolie: I find it fairly unlikely I will be able to contribute anything new. Alsamixer is always my first suggestion. [04:00] bill_: you mean with wubi? [04:00] I am not being able to load the Ubuntu Desktop... the panels dissapear, the only thing i can do is pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart the pc [04:01] bobertdos: I've read numerous suggestions on the forums, but without knowing what they really do I'm hesitant to try it [04:01] bobertdos: in fear that I may mess things up beyond my capability to fix [04:01] how can i re-load the grub loader [04:01] So has anyone ever had that problem before (above) [04:01] after re-installing windows [04:01] Gnea: I will, hopefully I can try and take a look at GOES12 this weekend, and I'll let you know [04:01] i'm looking at my ~/.profile file, and see some "if" tests, i.e.: if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then. Could someone explain to me what the -n option means? [04:01] Frijolie: So you haven't tried alsamixer?? It internally adjusts volume levels for Alsa components. [04:02] JackEStorm: with the DVB-S, have you had luck with mythtv? [04:02] I am not being able to load the Ubuntu Desktop... the panels dissapear, the only thing i can do is pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart the pc [04:02] gTea: http://www.faqs.org/docs/bashman/bashref_68.html === ubuntu is now known as sledge [04:02] My ubuntu has suddenly decided that maximum is 620 by 640. It worked fine before. [04:02] Flannel, thanks =) [04:02] !grub | sledge [04:02] sledge: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:02] gTea: does man test help? [04:02] Gnea: not yet, had sound issues :) working on that first, and the off to testing the -s all around [04:02] sledge: check the first link out [04:03] bobertdos: I'm looking at alsamixer right now but it appears to have the volume set to 100%. However it says that the card and chipset is "Pulseaudio" [04:03] bobertdos: do I want to change that to Intel-hda? [04:03] JackEStorm: now i want to get that other system out, dust it off, and see if i can get that same solution to work with it ;) [04:03] I would like to uninstall tcl 8.5 and tcl 8.4 along with tk 8.5 and 8.4 [04:03] How would I go about doing that? [04:03] Frijolie: I think everything goes through pulseaudio these days [04:04] danbh_intrepid: I'm confused as to what pulseaudio really is. Is it just a sound server which allows for global adjustments in the OS? [04:04] Gnea: but since DVB is mostly Euro based, it should be easy, I'm just limited on my view angle here but, it should be smoth (the S2 would give better out put, because of the 8PSK support) [04:04] How do you remove the tcl and tk files from Linux? If anyone could help it'd be greatly appreciated :D [04:04] synaptic has a search function - have you tried searching for those packages? [04:04] PhilipTPixler, ^^ [04:05] Gnea: now, myth had no issues with my other DVB card (ATSC) [04:05] haha I haven't. I'm not even sure what that it ^_^ ' [04:05] Frijolie: well, AFAIK, pulseaudio unifies all the other sound systems. [04:05] comicinker, actually, yes. for some reason i didn't put 2 and 2 together. thanks for pointing that out. [04:05] synaptic is a GUI for installing and removing packages [04:05] danbh_intrepid: so one step forward and two back? [04:05] but you can do all from command line too [04:05] oh wait I think I've found it. Under administration [04:05] Ubuntu now refuses to allow my resolution to go higher than 640 by 620. [04:05] Any help? [04:05] I'm getting pretty frustrated recording an asx file in VLC. I think I set it up correctly, but when I hit "OK," VLC just hangs at 0:00:00. Why? Can anybody help, please? [04:05] #2# after installing Ubuntu through the "Vista" stand-alone partition, ON the vista (NTFS) partition and booting on linux, i cant find the "vista" stracture. I can boot vista normally and ubuntu too, but when on ubuntu, where did my old files go? [04:06] bill_: you mean with wubi? [04:06] Frijolie: you may want to try intrepid, its beta now. Still lots of bugs, but there are supposed to be fixes for pulse in it [04:06] dont know the name but i installed the ubuntu while running Vista [04:07] Frijolie: BUT, if you are worried about messing up your system, you should first have a separate /home partition, that way you can install again without loosing anything [04:07] bill_: Alright, yeah, that's with wubi. No partitioning, right? Your vista stuff should be mounted automatically (I think ntfs things are mounted by default in recent versions). Check in places? [04:07] Ubuntu will only run at an an extremely low resolution. [04:07] i dont got the system infront of me but i get a curious smile that it might be located behind the root -linux- directory? [04:07] Ok so now I've found the tcl file in synaptic. How do I uninstall the file itself? [04:07] danbh_intrepid: I just finished burning the LiveCD for Intrepid 5 seconds ago [04:07] will intrepid have better support for component out for audio? [04:07] Excuse me, but would anyone mind helping me? [04:07] unp: [04:07] nay its not mounted, looked on known places and fstab [04:07] unop: [04:07] bill_: Nope. It'll be just like it normally is. Mount the partition (sda1 or whatever) etc [04:08] sorry I'm knew at this [04:08] !ntfs-3g | bill_ [04:08] bill_: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [04:08] but hmm partition is already mounted since i didnt make a new partiotion? [04:08] bill_: You may need to enable ntfs-3g first. [04:08] PhilipTPixler, select the package, right click, select remove, etc [04:08] danbh_intrepid: I always have a seperate partition for /home [04:08] bill_, nothing on /media ? [04:08] bill_: No. the wubi one exists separately, even if it is technically inside. [04:08] Hi, can I have some help? [04:09] so i can go ahead and actually mount the same partition? [04:09] no nothing on media or mnt [04:09] bill_: Its not the same partition [04:09] hi [04:09] can u explain flannel please ? [04:09] I want to start programming ubuntu, any suggestion to where to start ? [04:09] python [04:10] Can anyone hear me? [04:10] if SDA is the HD and sda1 is vista whats linux whne installing though vista windows? [04:10] PostersandGuitar: yes [04:10] bill_: the wubi "partition" is a file in your ntfs partition, that gets mounted through an abstraction layer. I'm not really sure about the specifics, but as far as you need be concerned for usage, your install is identical to a regular install on a separate partition. [04:10] How long should it take to get UCP certification? [04:10] when you're on vista, linux would be just some files with the .wubi extension [04:10] Can someone assist me with my extremely low resolution? [04:11] those files are filesystem that only get mounted when you start on linux [04:11] unop: ok one last thing. I've marked both of them for removal. How do I know when they're totally removed? [04:11] in other words i just go ahead and mount sda1 as ntfs-3g like recommendent [04:11] aaron_: You're still offtopic. This channel is for Ubuntu support only. #ubuntu-offtopic is for general questions not related to support, including certification ,etc. [04:11] bill_: yep [04:11] unop:lol apply marked changed right? [04:11] Flannel: do i want to set sda1 as the root device, or sda5 the partition that has ubuntu on it [04:11] PhilipTPixler, right - they should be removed then [04:11] Would anyone be able to assist me? [04:12] Flannel: grub> root (hd0,1) it wants me to type that in the terminal [04:12] sledge: root will be where / lives so if you only have one ubuntu partition, your Ubuntu partition [04:12] sledge: that'd be sda2 [04:12] PostersandGuitar, what video card? [04:12] unop: Thank's. I might be back lol. Hopefully not [04:12] thanx flannel [04:12] anybody know rync? [04:12] I'm trying to back up some files and it seems to be ignoring my exclude, etc. [04:12] puff, rsync [04:12] Flannel: ok [04:12] PostersandGuitar: have you tried to reconfigure xorg? [04:12] Er, rsync, yeah. [04:13] danbh_intrepid: what does that mine? [04:13] puff, have you read the man page yet? [04:13] xorg fails at hardware detection [04:13] happyhater: Nvidia [04:13] !xconfig | PostersandGuitar [04:13] PostersandGuitar: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [04:13] is there something like alcohol 120% for linux? [04:13] PostersandGuitar, got the driver installed, yeah? [04:13] wers: For what purpose? [04:13] I'm not using any kind of server? [04:13] RHorse: Yes. [04:13] anyone know how to create a customized live CD step by step ? [04:13] Flannel, .iso reader [04:13] Flannel: Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. it says that, and then theres a blining cursor, do i just wait? [04:13] puff, and what do you want to do? [04:13] wers: you can just mount them with mount [04:13] !iso | wers [04:13] wers: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [04:13] HappyHater: From the beginning, this problem just started suddenly, it it was working fine before. [04:14] what is irc [04:14] liug: this is [04:14] Flannel, virtual optical drive [04:14] liug: Internet Relay Chat : real time chat [04:14] wers: see the above factoid [04:14] wow nice. thanks Flannel [04:14] sledge: no, not realtime, it's relayed! [04:15] thank you [04:15] unop:WOOH! Hey thanks for your help. I'd like to let you know that aMSN works now. Have a good one. [04:15] PostersandGuitar, what changed from when it was working to now? [04:15] Copy a filetree from usb disk A to usb disk B, [04:15] Copy a filetree from usb disk A to usb disk B, while excluding certain subdirectories. [04:15] Flannel: it still isn't doing anything after 5 minutes.. [04:15] HappyHater: Literally, nothing. [04:16] anyone know how to run a run ubuntu from a USB pen ? [04:16] Flannel: the page says put grub> root (hd0,1) do i put sda 2 instead? [04:16] sledge: I've never seen that message before, to be honest. [04:16] sledge: What partition is your linux partition? [04:16] Has anybody noticed a problem with ubuntu live CD occasionally having a diretory/file oriented command (e.g. mkdir,rmdir, etc) just hang forever and not be affected by "kill -9"? [04:16] sda2 extended is the 40gig [04:16] Nor control-C, control-Z, contorl-D... [04:17] puff: kill -9 -1? [04:17] Flannel: would it be EXT3/ [04:17] sledge: Are you sure thats where you have your Ubuntu? If its inside the extended, that means its actually on a logical drive. [04:17] ? [04:17] Odd, unplugging the USB disk I was trying to rm the directory from killed it. [04:17] PostersandGuitar, check xorg.conf and see if your display has been added correctly... if not run 'gksu displayconfig-gtk' [04:17] sledge: ext3 is a filesystem, the default one yes. [04:17] EvilDaemon: -9 *and* -1? === joe__ is now known as spasticteapot_ha === spasticteapot_ha is now known as spasticteapot__ [04:17] HappyHater: How could this happen completely randomly? [04:18] flannel: On other system i got windows partition mounted and rwx fully. Checking on fstab i can see it nowhere to be found.. any ideas how and where it is mounted? [04:18] I wouldn't think it would unless you did something to change xorg.conf [04:18] I've a few questions I'd like home help with ---none of them urgent--- but for starters, my system occasionally makes an 'alarm' beeping noise... what gives? Can I stop it? Should I stop it? [04:18] bill_: If its not mounted by default, its not mounted. It'd be /dev/sda1 and mount it as per those pages [04:18] puff: yeah, just run 'kill -9 -1' [04:18] works for me. [04:19] EvilDaemon: Without a process number? [04:19] puff, do not try that [04:19] EvilDaemon, why are you being malicious? [04:19] I'm... not, I don't think. [04:19] unop: what does that do? [04:20] HappyHater: I didn't. [04:20] hm, odd, the "rmdir" isn't actually showing up in ps -ef, though the shell where I issued the command is still apparentlyhung. [04:20] mn, kill pretty much every process - effectively shutting down the machine. [04:20] mn: kill -9 -1 kills all the processes you can kill. [04:20] puff, you would need to do something like rsync -rva --exclude=/some/dir /usb_dir1 /usb_dir2 [04:20] For me, it logs me out to the login screen. [04:20] RHorse: Yeah, I was trying to use --exclude-from=filename [04:21] @Flannel: It is mounted only not through fstab.. but where? [04:21] Can I just add a scri[t into /etc/cron.daily and have it execute every day? [04:21] script* [04:21] Gnea: and thank you for the URL'S, solved my problem (took a while to read everything, and back track my testing changes), but it seems to be working now (alsa loading order) [04:21] supertanker, yep - that's the idea [04:21] bill_: it'd be in mtab, or through gnome volume... stuff [04:22] puff, you can use the -n or --dry-run ooption to see what the command will do without affecting anything [04:22] my password is only 1 haracter and cups wont take it [04:22] im adding a printer through the gui [04:22] Argh, now the drive is not appearing under /media when I plug it back in. Sigh. [04:22] and it says password required {username} on localhost [04:23] scientus, change your pass temporary [04:23] its notlike the normal gksu popups [04:23] surabaya [04:23] @flannel: You are right i was totally ignorant of mtab existance. Thanx again [04:23] that sucks [04:23] that really sucks [04:23] noo, but its a pain to change it back [04:23] scientus, 3 clicks? a pain? [04:23] hm still doesnt like [04:24] it [04:24] puff, you may have to mount it manually [04:24] no to set a short password [04:24] i changed it and it still wont work [04:24] does kill require sudo? [04:24] dfd [04:24] or edit your fstab filre [04:24] scientus, restart cups [04:24] Hello, does anyone know why I get "No networkdriver found" while trying to install "Ubuntu 8.10 Beta" onto my EeePC 901? Isn't the atl1e-driver included? [04:24] EvilDaemon, yes if you want to send signals to processes not started by you. [04:24] EvilDaemon: I think it depends on who owns the process [04:25] if its not do i have to set a differnt cups password? [04:25] Hagg1: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks [04:25] unop: Would 'sudo kill -9' be the process he was looking for? [04:25] fuck ill just start the wizard as root [04:25] scientus: Please watch your language [04:25] Flannel: what do you mean? [04:25] !ohmy | scientus [04:25] scientus: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:25] Hagg1: Intrepid (what will become 8.10) isn't released yet, and its supported in #ubuntu+1, not here. [04:25] EvilDaemon, kill -9 .. is hardly ever needed - and i should think not - using it only causes more problems, not provide solutions [04:26] puff, and then make a script file or an alias in your shell rc so you don't have to type it every time [04:26] hi,leh knl pa ga [04:26] Flannel: ahh, you mean the IRC channel #ubuntu+1 ? [04:26] Hagg1: Indeed [04:27] !id | mungi [04:27] mungi: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [04:27] Flannel: ok, thanks [04:28] did anyone get their internal mic working on dell d630?

Ubuntu still insist that my monitor can only display 640x480 [04:29] edit your xorg.conf [04:29] How do I do that? [04:29] wait a sec [04:29] ok [04:30] PostersandGuitar, nvidia? have you installed nvidia-settings... if not try that and load it from terminal using sudo [04:30] ixinucs: load what from terminal [04:30] the 'nvidia-settings' tool is good for tweaking the res and stuff for nvidia based systems [04:30] This problem appeared without any warning or changes [04:31] PostersandGuitar, after installing "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings" .. load it with sudo nvidia-settings and see if you can make the changes you need there. [04:32] who here has 8.10? [04:32] ixinucs: Nope. [04:32] izinucs: This problem just appeared suddenly [04:32] Hello, I am having a problem with playlists on myspace showing up, or even playing. when i click play it just turns black. I have the flash player and plug ins. Is there anything else i might need? [04:32] PostersandGuitar, when you're done you'll have to CTRL+ALT+Backspace.. make sure you save the xorg config in settings. [04:32] did the tool install? [04:32] izinucs [04:33] PostersandGuitar, that is weird that it happened all of a sudden.. but nvidia settings is worth a shot [04:33] izinucs: There was nothing to change.It appears to have changed it's detection of my montir to a 640by480 CRT [04:33] my computer was infected with a virus on windows and linux scanners say it is in pagefile.sys how would i fix this?

[04:46] izinucs: I would, but the cups setup doesn't support my scanner/copier functions... [04:46] as in the new system is gigabit on a 10/100 network [04:46] your router / switch that its plugged into giga also ? [04:46] Sixzero, been there ... done that.. frustrating [04:46] and since I "think" i patched it, it loads but flashes as if its the graphics cards fault [04:46] Anyone wishes to help a newbie forcemount an ntfs drive? [04:46] tictac232434, you could download the entire new files from nexuiz.com and extract it to your home directory [04:46] hello btw :) [04:47] node357: I think that sounds rough [04:47] i removed gdm, installed fluxbox, and i get error- /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-window-manager corrupt: invalid update mode. fluxbox works fine, menu had to be made but that wasnt hard. this error is reoccurring, any suggestions? [04:47] no no, the whole network is 10/100, but my new system has a gigabit card in it [04:47] All I do is open home director and extract it? [04:47] tictac232434: are you on a laptop? [04:47] desktop [04:47] izinucs: Very. I tried for a week to get windows to see my samba shared printer and nothing worked, so I had to swap it back for work. [04:47] That woudl be awsome to have a flash drive with ubuntu live on it [04:47] ilec, that shouldnt matter, it should auto-negotitiate back down to 100 or fall back on 10 if it has to w/out any config [04:47] sledge, it's been done [04:47] my laptop would own Ubuntu lol but since this P4..... is sluggish with Windows and my friend told me about ubuntu I was like "ok" [04:47] i know [04:47] could anyone tell me the command to use to force mount an ntfs drive?

[04:49] sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/DEVICENAME /media/External/ -o force [04:49] thank you [04:49] My bank website doesn't work in Ubuntu [04:49] ntfs-3g --help ---> Example: ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/win -o force [04:49] i dont think its a problem from fluxbox [04:49] rootlinuxusr - when i type that in, with the proper drive name, it gives me a bunch of options [04:49] Indoctrine: what do you mean, in ubuntu?

[04:51] lol [04:52] lol [04:52] oleg, of course you do ned to have a proper mountpoint, and the proper device name [04:52] if you have 2.4.2 already you're done :P [04:52] ilec did you left or right click on nm (network manager) on the panel bar (top right) [04:52] OMA [04:52] hi guys, for those of you who use laptop, do you find your laptop fan keeps on and even seems to work harder when you use firefox?

[04:53] 8.04.1 [04:53] savage - google's picasa? [04:53] tictac232434, you shouldn't write over the files that were installed, instead run Nexuiz from your home directory [04:53] and i have network manager open [04:53] zurn: i didn't realize there was a version for ubuntu, thanks [04:53] emm...

[05:00] now type: cd Nexuiz [05:00] RHorse: Hm, does rsync exclude take directory arguments, e.t. --exclude=/home/puff/.mozilla/firefox/puffuser/Cache or do I need to tag a wildcard on the end of that, --exclude=/home/puff/.mozilla/firefox/puffuser/Cache/* [05:00] and then: ./nexuiz [05:00] ilec - it works tons better for wifi [05:00] kk, can we wait till i have wired first?

[05:02] ah lol [05:02] puff, no the first way will work fine. You can go like --exclude=/one/dir --exclude=/second dir --exclude=/third/dir, each argument separated by a space [05:02] zurn - really? wow. [05:02] there are a few different versions which you can see by typing ls nexuiz* [05:02] otherwise I would be freaking out haha [05:03] okay i left click and i get manual configuration and that's it [05:03] ok [05:03] I unzipped it [05:03] now what?

[05:04] I think in GNOME you can make a link but it's sometimes flakey [05:04] hosstest - no, there is no fragmentation on ext2 or ext3 filesystems [05:04] hosstest, its the ext2/ext3 fulesystem. and No fragmentionis not an iussue. :) [05:04] !enter | tictac232434 [05:04] tictac232434: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:04] it might be better to run it from the command line, but that's just me [05:05] O ok sorry Flannel [05:05] RHorse: http://pastebin.com/d1650eabf [05:05] thanks [05:05] oic yea since I do not know the cmd well yet in Linux/Ubuntu might be a problem haha [05:05] My USB ports won't work in Ubuntu. I can't tell if when it was installed if it even detected it. Anyone help? [05:06] always remember if you want to start an application like nexuiz you need the ./ before the program name [05:06] if it's in your current directory [05:06] I need help configuring my windows wireless driver for ubuntu. [05:06] ok ty dude [05:06] that will help a lot more [05:06] you can "create launcher" by right clicking the desktop and point it at Nexuiz/nexuiz-686-glx but I don't really remember how that works [05:06] you're welcome [05:08] Ty Peace [05:08] or write a .desktop file in vim [05:08] ok i need some answers :) [05:09] if i setup open ssh in home, what advantage i can get ??

I can't tell if when it was installed if it even detected it. Anyone help? [05:10] Trev> I need help configuring my windows wireless driver for ubuntu. [05:10] goodmorning [05:10] puff, don't use wild card after directory -- that is improper syntax. Also, don't use wildcard between dir's . I donl\t think that'll work. If you have many dir's you can use the switch --exclude-from= and make a text file with one dir per line. [05:12] no 64 bit browsers for uubuntu 64 [05:13] RHorse: Okay, so I need one line for each user... how do I use a space in a directory name, quote it? [05:13] any http proxy for linux? [05:14] Is 64 bit ubuntu okay to use yet in your guys opinion? I have an AMD64, but some stuff is still screwy and Im on 64 bit unbuntu or whatever [05:14] anyone have a 64b browser [05:14] plzzzz [05:14] puff, either quote, or use the escape character i.e. \. So something like my\ directory [05:14] Chlorate: do you have more than 4GB of ram? [05:15] puff, I *think* you can escape it with a backslash like some\ dir\ with\ spaces\ in\ it OR you can try single or double quotes around the directory. Not sure. 8 ) [05:15] what is it you type in a terminal to "kill" an app? [05:15] i have created a new user in my pc... i dont why but a removable hd change its ownership... now im trying to change it to its default but when im issuing the command: 'sudo chown roukoun /media/My\ Book' it says 'Operation not permitted' [05:15] jim_p, I have 3GB. [05:15] Anza: killall firefox [05:15] thanks [05:15] roukoun, ls -l, and tell me who owns the dir [05:15] jim_p, killall firefox-bin [05:16] roukoun, oh wait, nvm, you're using sudo [05:16] ArtVandalae: its the new user i created [05:16] Chlorate: then go with the 32bit. you will have less trouble with flash [05:16] what about when it gets so slow, like getting blocked and you cannot get to the terminal, there is like a short cut or something to open it fast? [05:16] roukoun, try: sudo chown roukoun: /media/MyBook [05:16] roukoun, note the ":" [05:16] RHorse: correct :P but it was an example [05:16] chown: changing ownership of `My Book/': Operation not permitted... same as before [05:16] jim_p, Hmm. I was wondering (I'm very newb but just trying anything) if my USB ports will work in 32bit [05:17] roukoun, what kind of a device is mounted? [05:17] Anza: i have mine set to Ctrl+~. do one yourself [05:17] anyone know if there is a way to force an iso to mount? I get bad superblock when trying to mount avchd iso files [05:17] Chlorate: of course they will work! [05:18] jim_p, you know why Amarok is making my pc to get froze? :( [05:18] jim_p, Cause I'm on 64bit and they're not working! So will that really help!? [05:18] ArtVandalae: it is an external hdd with vfat format [05:18] Anza: probably some huge databese of tracks makes it read and read [05:18] okay so my ethernet adapter is: intel RTL8111/81 68B PCIexpress Gigabit Ethernet Controller [05:19] soemthing happen to my buddys file system and it booted up to a prompt. well no i don't know what he did but now he got it to boot into X but everything is read-only. i asume he got the file system to mount read only. how does he fix it? [05:19] jim_p, that could be it, I will try moving the music database somewhere else [05:19] <[Solaris]> whats the command to make a bash script executable?

[05:20] [Solaris]: chmod +x file.sh [05:20] jim_p, Dunno. I have tried to get my usb ports to work! I am just out of options. I'm on Ubuntu. My USB ports won't detect any devices. Ive tried multiple flash drives [05:20] dfgas: to change the read-only mode you have to edit the /etc/fstab [05:20] ArtVandalae: ??? [05:21] dfgas: tell him to sudo reboot, and select the uppermost option in grub menu [05:21] roukoun: he doesn't know how to do that [05:21] dfgas: if that doesn work, we did something bad [05:21] anyone know how to create a customized ubuntu CD ? [05:21] !remaster [05:21] Interested in remastering the !Ubuntu !LiveCD?

I get bad superblock when trying to mount avchd iso files [05:23] Chlorate: what mobo do you have? in brief [05:23] joebob777as7: was that iso converted to .iso from some other filetype extention/ [05:23] jim_p, ripped from blu-ray to iso [05:24] does video memory count against the 4gb limit? [05:24] joebob777as7: sorry i cant help you then [05:24] scientus: no. on a 32bit system the video memory will be "cut" from ram though [05:24] jim_p, no clue. What's a command I can do to look it up? [05:25] Chlorate: lspci and let me guess! [05:25] !lshw [05:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about lshw [05:25] does anybody know some stuff about the lshw command? [05:25] dfgas: the file that controls the sda1 is the /etc/fstab so if the fstab tells the sda1 to be mounted in read-only mode then you have to edit it if you want something different! [05:25] <[myg0t]skillztha> NIGGER [05:25] <[myg0t]skillztha> I HATE NIGGERS [05:26] [myg0t]skillztha: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:26] [myg0t]skillztha, so racist don't be a homo [05:26] its not my computer and he lives on the other side of the state. if it was mine it would be fixed :D [05:26] he did not touch the fstab at all [05:26] jim_p, Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 Host Bridge Is that it? [05:27] dfgas: can you tell him to pastebin its fstab?

Better look in xorg.conf [06:51] odiv: and me too [06:52] odiv: just joined; what was the issue? === ziroday` is now known as ziroday [06:52] I am looking for a package (python-gst).

[06:52] can't seem to get colour. [06:52] cyrus__, and? [06:52] odiv: what have you done so far? [06:52] criso - when I run apt-get install python-gst it says not found [06:53] cyrus__: python-gst0.10 [06:53] or download the deb and use dpkg -i [06:53] the dependencies are standard [06:53] gone through every screen of the nvidia x server settings. updated my drivers (which gave me saturation settings, which helped the flicker!) [06:53] googling now. :) [06:54] odiv: I suspect jim_p is corret, then. The nvidia driver has a great configuration instructions page online, it'll tell you what the best solution is. I used it to configure dual monitors and whatnot. [06:55] also, noob question. How do I kill something I can't find in top? [06:57] odiv: if you know what it is, killall app [06:57] odiv: if you dont know, maximize the terminal window :P [06:57] cool. For some reason my ntop isn't starting correctly. [06:57] from the parameters in rc.local. [06:57] odiv; alternatively, you can use ps auxww | grep foo where foo is the name of the process to try and find its pid. [06:57] maybe something else is starting it first. [06:57] hi to all [06:58] hibyebi [06:59] excellent, thank you jamesish and jim. [06:59] couldn't find it in top even with the window maxed. [06:59] you can sort top [06:59] hi guys, what is the name of the app that I install emerald themes in? [07:00] odiv: try ps aux instead of top. Or use xkill or one of those sorts of things. [07:00] hi, anyone can help me with a corrupted SD ext3 partition? it happened to corrupt due to suspend of the system :( [07:00] Flannel: Yeah, ps aux worked just fine. [07:00] can u corrupt a partition by suspending o.O? [07:00] Now I have to figure out what's starting it incorrectly in the first place :) [07:00] whats wrong with it? [07:01] linux: an adventure. :) [07:01] odiv: the w flags on ps expand the listing; so if the name of your program is truncated with the default output, the w flags can sometimes help a lot. [07:01] marcustomized, its SDcard, thats why [07:01] marcustomized, i just realised it :( [07:01] jamesish: I noticed that, thanks. That's how I can tell it's definitely not the one I want to be running (from my rc.local) [07:02] so you formatted the SD card to Ext3, or are you assuming it is?

[07:18] Hey, what do you know. Reading the man page did the trick. [07:18] yeah, it stops the impulse buying at least [07:18] man page FTW [07:18] lol- true [07:19] dr_willis: its a logitec web cam that i have it seem to work using skype but doesnt work when i got to chat rooms .. like i gave it permission through firefox but still doesnt turn on [07:19] i used to be dangerous with a credit card and at micro digital/bestbuy/pc blamo [07:19] lol [07:19] Its amazing though, because really its getting to the point where anything Windows can do so can Ubuntu. [07:19] I have 5 PC and 2 laptops in my house [07:19] hello all. i have a problem with infra-red on my Thinkpad. i cannot seem to get it to work with Hardy 8.04 although it worked really well under gutsy [07:19] now i'm always thinking... do you think it'll be recognized.. is there support [07:19] they all have some form of Unix/Linux on them [07:19] jim_p, jamesish: there's a setting for SVIDEO in my xorg.conf. === samba is now known as Guest54305 [07:20] im running newest ubuntu and smb4k but when i view my network on windows my ubuntu folders dont show up on the network is there sumthing i need to do? [07:20] odiv: are you asking us or have you found it? [07:20] yes. i only using windows in a vm [07:20] I've found it. [07:20] it did the trick :) [07:20] bah.. google didnt help much, i'm doomed :( [07:20] I have ESXi for all my VM needs lol [07:20] odiv: well done [07:20] odiv: welcome to linux. [07:20] heh [07:20] lol [07:21] yay colour. [07:21] ok it successfully restarted, but! rndc connect failed. [07:21] Cheeky, err... webcams in flash/browser.. are not supported - at this time with flash.. i belive [07:21] I really wish the PS3 was a bit quicker with linux [07:21] rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused [07:21] and now, onto ntop. [07:21] lol [07:21] dr_willis: actually i found a site that can be used but iam not sure it work for me .. [07:21] yeah, it's probably sony's ulterior motive to keep linux only as a hobby [07:22] if they only opened it up [07:22] well all other OS dont have direct access to the hardware it's gay [07:22] Cheeky, install flash 10. it did the trick with my logitech webcam [07:22] i'd stop using my PIII desktop [07:22] they have to go threw some stupid chip to even talk to the rest of the PS3 [07:22] physically_fit: how do i know wat version of flash i have coz..i did install a bunnch with ubuntu extra stuff package [07:23] hince the reason it does not work on most distros [07:23] dr_willis: http://www.swift-tools.net/Flashcam/ thats the site i was talking about [07:23] Socialoutcast: watch the language, please, and keep it family-friendly. [07:23] u007, im stumped [07:23] Cheeky, i have no intention of ever using a webcam-video chat. :) unless the grandbaby wants to chat to grandpa someday... [07:23] Cheeky, go to this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ [07:23] it is silly, their business model is flawed because they only perceive linux as a way to increase revenue and not a way to increase market share [07:24] When running Ubuntu and Compiz, why does the occasional window seem to "stiick" to the desktop when I try to move it? Sometimes it will even start "shaking" in place. Is that a Compiz settings? [07:24] ludwig: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/servers/6406-rndc-connect-failed-connection-refused.html [07:24] physically_fit: i have this version .. : 9,0,124,0 installed .... [07:24] that may give you some help [07:24] TIA [07:24] Digital_1, sounds like the 'wobbly windows' setting.. i always turn it off. [07:24] physically_fit: how do i get flash 10 .. alone through apt-get ? [07:24] do u have Bind listening on the correct int? [07:24] After restarting my T42 IBM laptop computer top indicates that Xorg consumes 51% of the CPU time. The CPU temperature has risen to 56°C. The fan rotates faster than usual. What might cause such a high CPU load? [07:25] That's Dr_Willis. I think I will give that a try. [07:25] Thanks I mean. [07:25] lemme check.. i think i may have remarked it in named.conf.. i think i had that line in named.conf.local [07:25] i can't seem to open port 22 on my router. this site shows it's closed - https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2 [07:26] bullgard4: loads of stuff. it happened to me once because of a bad written gtk theme!!! does your cpu usage reach 100%? [07:26] owen, your isp is probably blocking it [07:26] wgar is the other alternative for adobe's flash player? gnash and...? [07:26] mmm good ol ISP port blocks [07:27] jim_p: My CPU usage does not reach 100%, at least not during the last hour. [07:27] damn verizon blocking 80 [07:27] lol, really? [07:27] yup [07:27] wow [07:27] if i'm on amd64 architecture, can i still download and install the i386 distribution? [07:27] hmm [07:27] seems like i don't have rndc.conf [07:27] volante: yes, it'll work just fine [07:28] so my apache servers and oracle backend are useless [07:28] bullgard4: install htop and check what process uses the most cpu power (sort them by cpu%). you can use sgnome-system monitor too [07:28] is this a default file found after a sudo apt-get install bind9? [07:28] should be [07:28] no rndc.conf = no rndc connection lol [07:28] ok. i was thinking of running 32 bit to avoid issues with 64bit like needing to run nspluginwrapper for flash. does that seem reasonable or would you recommend going with 64 bit? [07:29] i guess i could create it.. is it in etc or in bind directories? [07:29] volante, as long as u dont mix between 32 bit and 64 bit pkgs [07:29] I would say if u need more than 4 gigs of ram go 64 [07:29] etc [07:29] I'm running the i386 version on AMD64 - have been since I first started with Ubuntu because back then the 64bit variety wasn't working so well [07:29] lol I dont recal [07:29] wow, i can't believe it doesn't exist by default [07:29] now I believe it's largely up to you [07:29] i man'd rndc [07:29] yep [07:29] also google gears not on 64 bit [07:29] /etc/rndc.conf [07:30] and several other things ive come across, make me want to just use 32 bit if possible [07:30] ya I have heard of that happening on the rare ocasion [07:30] happend on a BSD I was working with a long time ago [07:30] was very odd [07:30] how to port forward on my router? [07:30] !enter | Socialoutcast [07:30] Socialoutcast: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:30] unless you've got something in your machine that would make running 64 bit necessary, like an insanely large amount of RAM, you might as well run 32 bit then [07:30] owen1: that depends on your router. [07:30] there r no cons to running 32bit unless u have over 3 gigs of ram [07:31] ok cool [07:31] err.. 4 gb of ram.. [07:31] is that a 32bit limit (3 gigs of ram) [07:31] tritium: i have netgear and i follow this guide - http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/N101145.asp#RP614Anchor [07:31] owen1: good [07:31] and dependign on the hardware 32bit disrto might be able to use most all of the 4gb. [07:31] 2 gigs is the usual limit [07:31] do ou really have to use 64 bit to use > 3 gb [07:31] <[Solaris]> ludwig__ that microsofts limit [07:31] I thought 32bit could handle 4GB RAM? [07:31] well most 32 bi OS have a address space of only 4 gigs that for everything on your box including ram [07:31] ludwig__: to see more than 4GB [07:31] tritium: but when checking which ports are open it shows 22 as closed - https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2 [07:31] the 32bit limit is like just under 4 gigs max, including your video ram [07:32] anyone with a Dell laptop sold with Ubuntu here? [07:32] tritium: even though i opened it! [07:32] pae allows more than 4GiB [07:32] jim_p: I started htop and sorted processes by CPU%. On top is seen (apart from /sbin/init) dictd 1.10.10: 0/0 with CPU%= 0.0. But still htop shows CPU64% at this moment. [07:32] hey could anyone help me iam kind .. confused .. iam trying to install flash 10 and i have flash v 9... i did a search flashplugin-nonfree in synaptic so i can uninstall it so i can install flash 10 but in synaptic it looks like i diont have that plug in and needs to be installed its also v 9.. but when i went to the flash site it says i have flash 9.. [07:32] Ayabara: what is your problem? [07:32] jim_p: I started htop and sorted processes by CPU%. On top is seen (apart from /sbin/init) dictd 1.10.10: 0/0 with CPU%= 0.0. But still htop shows CPU=64% at this moment. [07:32] what's the 64 bit limit [07:32] ok and what about debian vs ubuntu. would ubuntu be a better choice for a desktop system? [07:32] hello [07:32] 128 or somehting like that === phoenix_ is now known as phoenix_tiggers [07:32] !best [07:32] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [07:33] volante, i perer ubuntu for my desktop/laptop and fileservers :) [07:33] ludwig__: theoritically its 2^64 bytes. practically it depends on the os kernel [07:33] <[Solaris]> another thing about x86 64 linux distros... adobe flash player doesn't work [07:33] physically_fit: hey man how did you install your flash 10 .. did you do it over flash 9 ? [07:33] jim_p: This morning I dist-updated the dict DEB program package. [07:33] 2^64 is roughly nubler 16 followed by 18 zeroes [07:34] any luck ludwig? [07:34] Cheeky, follow these instructions: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenotes.html#install [07:34] *number [07:34] ziroday, my xps m1530 has a stac 9228 audio codec, and the output power is way lower than in windows. it's reported a bug on it in alsa, that more people have confirmed. Since Dell now sells m1530 with Ubuntu, I figured there maybe are som dellpackages/patches that can solve the problem [07:34] adobe pr0n player [07:34] [Solaris]: isn't there some way to get Flash running on 64bit Ubuntu? or at least something that can play flash? [07:34] about to restart [07:34] i remake my question now [07:34] <[Solaris]> haydnc not that i am aware of atm [07:34] haydric, try gnash [07:35] Ayabara: you might be best to ask in the ubuntuforums ubuntu dell section [07:35] anyone know basic BASH? [07:35] Hello everyone! I have been experiencing difficulties installing linux via the 64 bit CD. Whilst I can view the live ubuntu without difficulty, installation unfailingly causes the computer to freeze completely or reboot immediately at around 25% (copying of files, after the successful formatting of the harddrive). [07:35] phoenix_tiggers: what is your question. Also see #bash [07:35] ok it failed again [07:35] what is the other alternative of flash player? gnash and...? [07:35] but.. new errors [07:35] I really want ubuntu. Is there another method of installation to try? [07:35] lol [07:35] jim_p: swfdec [07:35] physically_fit: wats linux rpm? [07:35] BAMH1: you can try the alternate cd [07:35] bullgard4: what programs do you run now? [07:35] ok.. and for a new installation on desktop, shall i go for 8.10 or 8.04.. is it easy to upgrade to 8.10 from 8.04 when it gets oficially released? [07:35] I'm in #bash, but my question is how do I do a basic logical OR, this is the statement I'm evaluating : if [ "$knl" = "2.6.24-19-generic" || "2.6.15.5CIT-3-1-06-SMP" ] [07:35] ziroday, ok [07:36] I have already tried the alternative CD on the website and it hasn't worked either sadly. [07:36] <[Solaris]> volante stay with 8.04 [07:36] thanks marcustomized, I'm thinking of running a copy of 64bit Ubuntu along side my existing 32bit version to see how it goes - I'll give gnash a try and see how it handles things like youtube :) [07:36] ziroday: thanks [07:36] hello guys are you experiencing an internet problem after upgrading your 8.04? [07:36] jim_p: 6 gnome-terminals and firefox 3. [07:36] BAMH1: does the alternate cd give any errors? Where does it stop? [07:36] <[Solaris]> !ubuntu+1 [07:36] Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents [07:36] Cheeky, i dunno, i used the other option: i deleted the libflashplayer.so binary first and then i installed flash 10 [07:37] volante: 8.10 isn't officially released until the end of this month, you're probably much better off sticking to 8.04 until then. The upgrade path should be pretty easy [07:37] bullgard4: just in case, what theme are you using? [07:37] It does give an error, yes. Umm... IIRC it copies a bunch of files but gets to the kernel and chokes. [07:37] physically_fit: how did you delete it ..did you do it through terminal .. or snyaptic or some otherway ? [07:37] corden: 8.04 has been out since April. Most users have already upgraded successfully with no such problems. [07:37] marcustomized, if fsck with -b failed, what else can i try? [07:37] jim_p: 'Glossy' [07:37] cool thanks for all the advice [07:38] marcustomized, fsck -b on recovery mode says the device is bz :( [07:38] i'll install 32 bit 8.04 [07:38] And then it tells me that the core installation has failed. [07:38] BAMH1: unfortunatly to help you we need more information, could you please use the alternate cd again and record the error [07:38] bullgard4: no connection to my useless theme that cause it. do you use proper drivers for your vga? [07:38] what is the easiest way to create a custom livecd with some applications that need to be installed for source? [07:38] Okay. I will certainly do that! [07:38] fsck -b?

[07:46] cyzie: Consult packages.ubuntu.com [07:46] t1n0m3n: sorry to restart is /etc/init.d/x11-common restart or you can try restarting gdm with /etc/init.d/gdm restart [07:46] hope somebody can help with this one [07:46] by the way FloodBot1 - can't open that site since my internet connection is kept on connecting [07:47] and that's my problem - cannot establish the connection after the update :( [07:47] t1n0m3n, Hmm.. check the gdm config files. I recall ages ago there being a extras menu, that had things like shutdown, reboot, and even a 'restart x server' option. [07:47] t1n0m3n, theres also a 'always restart x server' option. that works around some X bugs [07:47] dr_willis: ahh, ok that would be better, thanks [07:47] jim_p: The ATI driver ati_drv.so does not drive the screen directly but calls another driver. I do not use fglrx. [07:47] i can't even access my localhost [07:48] corden: what does ifconfig tell you? [07:48] t1n0m3n, i even recall at one time on some disrto.. you could run the gdm config/theme tool from the gdm screen.. but i dont think that was in ubuntu [07:49] bullgard4: oh. then i cant help you. here is something you may want to read [07:49] bullgard4: http://horizon.ath.cx/gentoo/ [07:50] jim_p: Thank you for providing this link.

[07:50] outbackwifi, ifconfig give me my localhost ip [07:50] but my internet connecting is kept on reconnecting the internet [07:50] that's why my firefox can't open the localhost and any websites :( [07:50] it been 2 hours now, after the update.

I'd really like to be able to use this but when I tried to print with it Vista wants me to install a driver. Anyone know what machine would need the drivers installed and which drivers? [07:53] When Dell sells laptops with Ubuntu, do they have a custom iso (and is there a place I can get it?) [07:53] Looking for some help. I play Nexuiz in Ubuntu, My computer has been shutting down on me at random times when playing the game. I opened htop and it says the game is running at 100% CPU usage. I have no idea why [07:53] thank you ubottu [07:53] Ayabara: I believe they do, and you'd have to ask them for the location or how else you'd get it [07:54] how can i upgrade to 8.04.1 from gutsy thru the CD? i dont want to lose my previous files [07:54] znik: Do you have an alternate CD? or the Desktop CD [07:54] CanadianLinux: the game using cpu 100% is normal [07:54] by the way outbackwifi is the dns of opendns usable?

[07:54] no destop [07:54] outbackwifi, my main problem is that inet cannot establish connection. [07:54] probably overheating [07:54] CanadianLinux: or dying PSU [07:54] znik: doenload the alternative installation cd and use it as a update source [07:55] physically_fit: hey you got a min ? [07:55] Maybe the PSU [07:55] Flannel i have the desktop cd from canonical [07:55] yes Cheeky [07:55] hardware monitor says its not overheating [07:55] znik: You'll need the alternate CD to upgrade [07:55] !upgrade | znik [07:55] znik: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [07:55] znik: Or, just download the packages from the internet, of course.

[07:56] physically_fit: i used this path /home/cheeky/.mozilla [07:57] hey [07:57] Ujjwol: hey [07:57] outbackwifi, can you give me the DNS of opendns? i'll try to use it. since i can't surf. tnx [07:58] is there a way to update from 8.04 to 8.10 update beta w/o burning a cd ? (none on hand); can i do an apt-get [some type of magic here] ? [07:58] how to use yum instead of apt-get in ubuntu hatdy [07:58] !livecd | canti [07:58] Canti, please see my private message [07:58] physically_fit: says its not a directory ? [07:58] Ujjwol: dont know about yum but alien lets you use rpms [07:58] !alien [07:58] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [07:58] Cheeky, it didn't ask me for a path. did you open the tar.gz file? [07:59] yum also can use debain packages [08:00] physically_fit: iam just running it it right now in my tmp directory is that a problem? [08:00] has anyone ever used blackbox as a wm? how does it minimise the windows?

[08:01] ok i sarch it at the repo :) [08:02] outbackwifi: nv means [08:02] Ujjwol: nvidia driver [08:02] is that open-source [08:02] Hi. I would like to set up a web server to host my own blog and also use this server to host files that I can access from other computers on my network. I know I can do the latter with Ubuntu Desktop version, but I was wondering if I would be better-off going with the Server version for my needs. What is the main difference between these two? Thanks! [08:02] yes [08:03] Ujjwol: yes [08:03] Cheeky, then you have to run ./flashplayer-installer from that folder [08:03] it is returned proprietary in nVidia's site [08:03] Lul2x: the main difference between the two is simply the last part of the install, where it runs the debian "tasksel" command [08:03] Lul2x: desktop setup will get you to a full desktop, server setup will get you to command line only and you ahve to install the rest [08:03] Lul2x: the server version does not come with a graphical interface [08:03] ok [08:03] otherwise they're the same distro [08:03] how to install Kde 4.1 in ubuntu hardy [08:04] physically_fit: yeah the installer works..and its asking me to give it a path [08:04] Lul2x: for the rest of the questions, look at how you can make an http server [08:04] thanks guys. So I can still successfully run my blog from Ubuntu Desktop? I will need php, mysql, and a few other things. The elimination of the "tasksel" command in the Desktop version won't prevent this? [08:05] physically_fit: it asks me this Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape, [08:05] or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla): [08:05] jim_p: ok, I'll take a look [08:05] jim_p cant i use my live cd like an alternate cd? [08:05] Ujjwol: i guess installing kde-base should do the trick [08:05] Lul2x: tasksel is simply what's run at the end of the alternate or server install cd [08:05] ok [08:05] znik: depends on what you want to do [08:05] I am making a transfer from Gentoo, which has been on my server for a couple of years now and I have become a bit rusty with Linux in the meantime [08:06] i am looking to buy Dell XPS m1530 with ubuntu and does the wi-fi and webcam works well in ubuntu [08:06] jim_p i want to upgrade my gutsy to 8.04.1 [08:06] I appreciate the advice!' [08:06] * outbackwifi thinks tasksel has Lul2x confused [08:06] Tidus, in other words after running aptitude, they are exactly the same.. [08:06] Ujjwol: yes [08:06] a bit, but I can use google to find out exactly what it does :) [08:07] Lul2x, just install whatever you have [08:07] apt has magical online repositories that will work to install whatever you want [08:07] unless this is an offline webserver :/ [08:07] !lamp | Lul2x [08:07] Lul2x: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [08:07] nope, it'll be online [08:07] what is messenger to use the video call [08:07] criso: yes, basically [08:07] Lul2x, just install with the CD you have and go from there [08:08] just started working with ubuntu server- does ubuntu not use inetd? what's the ubuntu way of dealing with internet services? [08:08] Lul2x: the server install cd gives you the option to have a pre-configured LAMP server set up, but it's easily doable on the desktop edition as well [08:08] physically_fit: does it have to go to the /usr/lib/mozilla folder ? or the mozilla folder thats hidden in your /home/user directory ? [08:08] nxmehta: i think it uses xinetd [08:08] nxmehta: xinetd [08:08] znik: if you can add it as a cd rom source, then yes. i dont know if the "nature" of the cd allows it to be added that way. anyway, with the cd rom in the drive run sudo apt-cdrom add [08:08] ok, cool. This is incredible, you guys are so much help. I'm used to the old-school linux rooms where noone is willing to help--only show their superiority by not helping at all :P [08:09] Cheeky, did you delete the libflashplayer.so that was in your home/mozilla directory? [08:09] Thank Tidus. It would be nice to have the desktop gui and then install LAMP after. The server won't be hardcore, so this way I get the best of both worlds :) [08:09] jim_p would u join me in an IM? [08:09] physically_fit: yes i did [08:09] ok, xinetd... looks like it's not installed by default on ubuntu server 8.04? i have to apt-get it... [08:10] Cheeky, if so, then give that path (i never got that question though) [08:10] physically_fit: i went to /home/cheeky / .mozilla / plugin and deleted it [08:10] k [08:10] Lul2x: see, i hate the old-school linux rooms that did that. it does nothing to advance the open source world [08:10] oh, one last thing. is the home directory still the same style? E.g. /home/pat (I ask b/c I'm afraid some file links may fail when I transfer my server files) [08:10] Lul2x: yes [08:11] Lul2x: yes, it's the same style. that's a LSB standard (Linux Standard Base) which ubuntu loosely adheres to [08:11] thought so, just wanted to double-check [08:11] thanks a ton, I'm going to start downloading :D [08:11] basically ubuntu doesn't put in enough effort (microsoft..) to come up with crazy ways to breaks everything [08:12] lol... MS releases a patch to fix what they broke in the last patch [08:12] Lul2x: you might want to install any version that says LTS (long Term Support) [08:13] ok, I'll take a look outbackwifi [08:13] 8.04 looks good (support until 2011) :) === PriceChild is now known as Guest79425 [08:14] right [08:14] is intrepid an installable release yet? === abeeky is now known as maffic [08:14] or rather, is it "installable" [08:14] Can someone help me get my nvidia working?

[08:50] dr_willis: hm, I'm debating making the move... a little afraid because if this breaks I really don't have the time to fix it / reinstall. Should I just use v2 until I have some time? Or should I upgrade to hardy? [08:50] i just deleted a folder by accident from an ntfs formatted drive attached via usb. whats the the best way to try and recover the files? [08:50] wireshark can parse imap I think [08:50] I'm trying to change the output location of cups-pdf but if I change it from anything but default it stops working completely!

[08:51] foo: You can install v3 locally. Its really easy. Or stick with v2. [08:51] bustaplz: I imagine man cups-pdf or cups-pdf --help will assist some.

[08:51] Flannel: yeah, I grabbed the source, unzipped... ran ./firefox ... voila [08:51] the problem is that imap can do weird things with archiving messages on the server [08:51] overrider, why online?

[08:52] bustaplz: use a symlink. [08:52] joebob777as7, dunno, im just looking for something online so i can easily switch platforms and os, have my wife who uses windows use it also and so on. also, my calendar and taskmanager, projectmanager is online, so naturally id like my finance app to be online, even if its in my local lan [08:52] jamesish, ill try, thanks. but i think its hosted only [08:53] hmmm [08:53] is there an easy way in ubuntu to get BadRAM module, or do I have to follow the insturctionss at help.ubuntu.com/community/BadRAM ? [08:53] Could you tell me how to create on for those directories? [08:53] I never even considered that! [08:53] overrider, do you have a window or linux server on your lan? [08:53] has anyone got the patches for WoW to work? === Guest87799 is now known as msh [08:53] joebob777as7, yeah [08:54] I have installed firestarter and I want it to start on each startup how do I do that? [08:54] bustaplz: man ln, paying attention to the ln -s option. OR right click in Nautilus and choose "create shortcut" or whatever it's called. [08:54] say you have a theme you like in emerald but it doesnt use "shade" feature, how can you enable it on that theme? [08:54] overrider, you can run it on that and just use nomachine, x forwarding, or rdp (terminal services) [08:54] haha doing this through ssh so no easy button for me [08:54] it as in gnucash [08:54] going to go investigate, thank you [08:54] msh: it is the default for the backend, the frontend is started from the menu [08:54] joebob777as7, could :-) [08:54] bustaplz: use ssh -Y then open nautilus. [08:55] jamesish, yeah been through that but it doesn't fix my nvidia issue it just sticks me back to using vesa... [08:55] joebob777as7, i tried writing you a new xorg.conf here http://pastebin.ca/1218782 [08:55] <_coredump_> moinsen [08:55] i'm actually on putty, so that won't work will it? [08:55] marcustomized, thx I'll teset it out [08:55] enzotib: so it means its started on each startup? [08:56] zdravim vsechny [08:56] bustaplz: never underestimate X's powers. But ln -s is really what you should use. Surprised you're comfortable using ssh but not ln -s. Putty has some built in X windows stuff, but you'll need to read up on it; naturally, you can't pass in the -Y flag on startup. Try installing cygwin, though, then you can. [08:56] bustaplz, with xming, you can x forward x apps to the windows desktop. :) [08:56] msh: yep, check with pgrep firestarter [08:56] it's been a while since I've done the linux thing so i've forgotten some commands [08:57] joebob, u may need to adjust the horizontal sync rate i suggested because I pretty much guessed [08:57] enzotib :ok :) [08:57] i'll look into xming and cygwin [08:57] bustaplz: makes sense :) With a little time, it'll all come flooding back like some kind of unstoppable nightmare which will haunt your days and nights. [08:57] sounds interesting [08:58] bustaplz, cygwin is a bit out of date i think.. xming is handy.. :) [08:58] I've been doing this all day [08:58] i love it [08:58] okay [08:58] is it just a client like putty? [08:59] what is the difference between joining through freenode vs ubuntu servers and oftc vs debian servers? [08:59] bustaplz, its a X server for windows. [08:59] bustaplz, it can work with putty [08:59] haha you're going to have me up all night [09:00] say you have a theme you like in emerald but it doesnt use "shade" feature, how can you enable it on that theme? [09:00] i imagine I have to be running X running to use something like Xming? [09:02] X has to be installed on both machines, but it doesn't have to be running on both, only on the local machine. [09:02] marcustomized, same errors... :( [09:02] damn [09:03] have u tried reinstalling the nvidia drivers through the restricted drivers manager? [09:03] marcustomized, i'm going to try to install nvidia-glx-173 see if that makes a difference [09:03] marcustomized, that's how I have 177 installed now [09:03] alright, go for it [09:04] to hack venerable # sikelo [09:05] can the default ubuntu network manager be used from a console?

[09:08] joebob, you're getting it directly from nvidia's site or doing something else? [09:08] , [09:09] i just got a kernel panic in hardy. how can i find out what caused it? [09:09] hello [09:09] that's in the restricted driver download rebooting and going to do it in command line instead [09:10] i have problem [09:10] Hello, Im new to this IRC stuff, any basics i should know? [09:10] kirdneh, that sucks! [09:10] i'd just stay away from the restricted drivers now, and jus compile it from source [09:11] 173.14.12 [09:11] marcustomized, from nvidia site? [09:11] yes [09:12] joebob, http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html [09:13] make sure the old one from restricted is completely uninstalled [09:13] I installed both ubuntu 32bit and 64bit sharing a /home partition with their own roots but from grub I only see one kernal and can't tell if I am in 64 or 32 or where the other has gone [09:13] if anyone could let me know how to get the other in grub or how the 64bit could have installed 32 please let me know [09:14] PeoplesAdvocate, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC [09:14] also, if u have a 9800gt, or greater, the old drivers wont do [09:14] thanks velko [09:15] hey, does ubuntu come with java vm?

How to control the volume only left or right with Alsa driver? [09:23] Kelen, what? [09:23] Kelen: right click the volume thing, go to open volume control. unlock PCM or Front (varies by computer) and move the sliders independently [09:24] maco, I want to know how you deciphered that sentence [09:24] lol [09:24] marcustomized: ignored the part where they thought the mixer and the driver were the same thing [09:25] o.O? [09:25] can anyone help me get my videos and mp3's to play on my new ubuntu 8.04? i thought i'd installed all the necessary codecs with ubuntu-restricted.. but i guess not maybe? [09:26] has anyone successfully installed IE7 using wine? [09:26] slytherin: ies4linux has ie7 [09:26] xjohnthomasx, just install totem with the xine backend [09:26] maco: I will check [09:26] slytherin: it looks like ie6 still, but they've got ie6's gui rigged up with ie7's rendering engine [09:26] marcustomized: i did that.. but how do i know if it's running? it still eff's up [09:26] plays just about everything [09:27] maco: is it ies4linux or ie4linux? [09:27] marcustomized: how do i switch between -xine and -gstreamer for totem? [09:27] what do u mean, "if it's running"? Are you not getting audio or something [09:27] maco: thanks a lot.. [09:27] i get stuttering video.. and no audio.. and rhythmbox doesnt playmp3's either.. [09:27] maco: i got it. [09:27] slytherin: er...something along those general lines? tatanka i think for the website name [09:28] ok I ran uname -a and it says ubuntu x86_64 ... so that means I am in 64 bit right? [09:28] maco: ok, then it is ies4linux [09:29] marcustomized: i get stuttering video.. no audio.. rhythmnbox doesnt play mp3's either.. [09:29] How do I make a visudo command that allows me to run a bash script using a variable... such as "nobody ALL=NOPASSWD:/home/my/serpublic_html/cmd.sh ALLOWEDVARS" ?? instead of /cmd.sh *? [09:29] can someone please explain the difference between eth0 and wlan0? Thanks. [09:29] totem-xine should automatically use the xine backend, so im guessing u have both totem xine, and totem-gstreamer installed [09:30] if thats possible [09:30] marcustomized: i do, but where is the totem-xine, or should i uninstall gstreamer? [09:30] why does gstreamer exist, if it messes up and doesnt work? [09:30] DaveKong: No, it simply means that your machines architecture is x86_64 [09:30] @ all im using fiesty fawn ubuntu 7.04 and want to upgrade to gutsy... do i have to download 625 MB???? or is there a quicker way???(less download time) [09:30] keep gstreamer, because I think rhythmbox can only use a gstreamer backend [09:30] uninstall totem xine [09:31] marcustomized: xjohnthomasx: totem uses only one backend at a time [09:31] vlc player is great!!! [09:31] hello everybody. ciao a tutti. salut à tout le monde... [09:31] Peddy: eth0 = first ethernet device. wlan0 = name of first wireless device with intel wifi, maybe some others [09:31] and install every gstreamer plugin package in synaptic [09:31] slytherin, how do I know if I am running 64 bit? [09:31] im using fiesty fawn ubuntu 7.04 and want to upgrade to gutsy... do i have to download 625 MB???? or is there a quicker way???(less download time) [09:31] i installed postgresql i cant find where it is in the system [09:31] maco: so if I want to configure IP masquerading, do I choose eth0 or wlan0 for NAT? [09:32] DaveKong: "uname -a" output says so [09:32] slytherin, my mistake, i dont use ubuntu, just going off of stuff i vaguely remember about Fiesty [09:32] Peddy: depends if you're using wifi or wired. eth0 is your wired one, wlan0 is your wireless [09:32] maco: I'm using wireless ;) [09:32] marcustomized: ok, i uninstalled totem-gstreamer, and then the video seemed to play all right for about 30seconds.. and then it froze, and totem crashed === arash_ is now known as |PiP| [09:33] Peddy: then wlan0 [09:33] xjohnthomasx: what kind of vide is it? [09:33] DaveKong: no idea [09:33] Peddy: though i've no clue what IP masquerading is [09:33] a movie [09:33] what codec? [09:33] maco, it says 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP ... x86_64 GNU/Linux [09:33] you mean suffix? it's a mpg [09:33] I want to know if the MADWIFI drivers that come with the ubuntu distro supports INJECTION for AIRCRACK already or do I need to install a different version? [09:33] DaveKong: see the 64? [09:33] maco: in addition. is it possible for ubuntu to upgrade kernel automatically? [09:33] PeoplesAdvocate: try and see what happens? [09:34] maco: IP masquerading is the linux equivalent of Internet Connection Sharing [09:34] marcustomized: mpg [09:34] maco I see a 64 but not in the kernel name just the part later [09:34] maco: so is eth0 not being used at all? [09:34] if I use wifi [09:34] Kelen: i dont believe so. that's a big change and requires a reboot. automatic rebooting while you're doing important things isn't my idea of a feature. [09:34] xjohnthomasx: I don't understand why you are having trouble playing it with totem-gstreamer. Did you install all the gstreamer codecs in repositories? [09:34] Peddy: of course not [09:34] Peddy, yes [09:34] slytherin: how will i know? [09:34] see, i've always used only one backend for everything, he's mixing them [09:34] DaveKong: yeah, that's the part that tells you. -a is "all" i forget which flag (-r maybe?) tells just the architecture [09:35] xjohnthomasx: open System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and search for gstreamer. [09:35] ok, and then what? [09:35] thanks maco [09:35] slytherin: ok and then what? [09:35] maco, ok thanks... so now I just need to add the location of the root for the 32 bit install to Grub and I can boot either? [09:36] slytherin: isn't eth9 a LAN device? [09:36] slytherin: eth0* [09:36] xjohn, are all the "bad", "good", and "base" sets installed [09:36] Peddy: yes it is. [09:36] Hello all [09:36] also the "ugly" set [09:37] slytherin: you said 'of course not', was that 'of course it isn't used' or 'of course it isn't not used'? [09:37] heh [09:37] DaveKong: /me looks at you funny. "grub should have been automatically set up" [09:37] it isn't use [09:37] xjohnthomasx: make sure you have installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg. Then make sure you have totem-gstreamer installed. [09:37] marcustomized: it seems to have at least one of each of those sets.. it doesn't have a few packages from each of those sets, usually with suffix -db or -dc etc. [09:37] Peddy: when you are using wifi why would your ethernet card be used? [09:38] slytherin: as a LAN device :P [09:38] slytherin: for the wlan [09:38] install everything gstreamer, uninstall totem-xine and replace it with totem-gstreamer [09:38] maco well that is why I am confused and why I thought I might not be 64 Grub set up my windows and other installs but does not show the 32 bit ubuntu [09:38] slytherin: ok I'll tell you how I got confused [09:38] hey [09:38] Peddy: No. eth0 is for wired lan, wlano is wireless lan [09:38] is there any guide for writing device driver module? [09:39] Zhane: don't waste your money on the book Linux Device Drivers v 3. it's terribly outdated. [09:39] Zhane: for which device do you wish to write driver? [09:39] marcustomized: i had all those things installed before.. [09:39] slytherin: Firestarter autodetects wlan0 as a 'internet connected network device' , and it autodetects wlan0 as 'local area network device'. [09:39] Zhane: it's also creative-commons licensed and thus available freely online [09:39] erm.. RTAI? ucsimm? [09:39] I am trying to get hardware acceleration working with Kubuntu (latest). I have an ATI 9100IGP. [09:39] i know how to write basic modules, but have no idea how to make modules share variables [09:40] marcustomized: um, now it's playing back in blue shades [09:40] like, shades of blue [09:40] Peddy: haven't used firestarter for a while. [09:40] hmm [09:40] hey guys, i'm having a prob with wvdial and pppd, anyone interested in helping ? [09:40] marcustomized: and it's again slow and stuttering.. nos ound either.. [09:40] maco: yep, i know it's a require to reboot while i done some important thing with system. i just don't know the kernel will be upgrade automatic or not. [09:40] delete the "/gstreamer" folder in your home folder [09:40] its hidden [09:40] xjohnthomasx: check in totem preferences if you have messed up hue and saturation settings [09:40] ".gstreamer" [09:40] slytherin: it's stuttering too.. i ddnt change nay settings.. [09:40] slytherin: and when I try to set both internet connected network device and local area network device as wlan0, it says 'the local and internet connected devices can not be the same'. [09:40] my ubuntu's giving me kernel panics. Also when ubuntu's loaded and everything, sometimes it freezes and the keyboard's caps lock and scroll lock start flashing on and off, if I reset it (hard reset) it gives me kernel panics and doesn't load. but if I press power button to turn it off then on again, it works. [09:40] slytherin: xine played it a little better it seems.. [09:40] slytherin: but still had no audio [09:41] Hiya [09:41] and crashed after 30 sec [09:41] maco I shared /home, swap, /boot, and /usr/local over the two installs because SAG and forum posts suggested this but gave it it's own "/" [09:41] hi is there a possibility to move my mails in thunderbird under windows to the mails from thunderbird in ubuntu? [09:41] xjohnthomasx: I am sure both gstreamer and xine developers will thank you for the file that can reproduce teh crash. :-) [09:41] hey ppl, pppd disconnects automatically for me just after connecting [09:41] Daremonai: thats not good. Does it happen on a fresh install? Does it happen right after you start up? [09:41] marcustomized: i deleted .gstream.. now what?? [09:41] go into .config [09:41] hey ppl, pppd disconnects automatically for me just after connecting [09:42] and delete the "totem" folder [09:42] Anyone else having problems getting Kubuntu 8.10Beta to use resolutions over 800x600 in Virtualbox? [09:42] basically clearing all all the settings [09:42] Could someone help me get hardware acceleration working for my ATI 9100IGP [09:42] slytherin: i dont see why. it's just a music video [09:42] georgeaf: I presume you are trying to connect a 3G modem? [09:42] no [09:42] marcustomized: where's the totem folder?

[09:43] #list [09:43] DaveKong: probably didn't know to add the other install's lines because of your separate /boot [09:43] DaveKong: so yeah, add them manually and it should be fine [09:43] if it isnt there, check the ".gconf" folders [09:43] georgeaf: what are you trying to connect to? What guide are you following? What model modem do oyu have? [09:44] Anyone else having problems getting Kubuntu 8.10Beta to use resolutions over 800x600 in Virtualbox?

[09:44] ok [09:44] kdavey: ask in #kubuntu [09:44] close out totem if if it isnt already, then try to play your video again [09:44] i'm trying to connect to my ISP. I'm not following any guide AND my modem is an Intel HDA (on an Acer laptop) which is actually conexant [09:44] anyone knows why my network speed is so slow [09:44] on ubuntu? [09:45] marcustomized: still blue and slow and stuttering with no audio [09:45] hey guys, can i install the 8.10 beta on a machine that already has windows xp? will it update itself to the full version when it's out? [09:45] georgeaf: okay, one moment please [09:45] ziroday, it's not a fresh install, i've been running it for months, well, actually i had it since 8.04 was released. It doesn't do it on start up, what it does is it loads GUI and at some point (random times - for me anyway) it does what i described above. And if I reset, on boot it tells me "Kernel Panic" blabla [09:45] ziroday: ok thanks [09:45] xjohn, then I have no idea what the issue is [09:45] hanak, how is your computer connected? [09:45] slytherin: you have ideas? [09:45] ortsvorsteher: wireless [09:46] anyone? [09:46] Daremonai: can you see if the issue persists with a fresh install? [09:46] ortsvorsteher: i dont have speed above 30kb 40kb same wifi card on windows i get 1mb. [09:46] are your near the access point? hanak [09:46] xjohnthomasx: I never had any problem with any file with gstreamer, not sure why it is not working for you. [09:46] ziroday, I can't do a fresh install now.. am trying to fix it without having to install again.. I have a LOT of services running and stuff :( [09:47] hey guys, can i install the 8.10 beta on a machine that already has windows xp? will it update itself to the full version when it's out? [09:47] leetsauce: yes, however the beta is extremely unstable, can destroy your hardware and its not recommend at all. [09:48] slytherin: i need to get the videos and mp3s to playback. i had all those files installed. i have a quad core 2.64, nvidia geforce 8400, 3gb ram, and ubuntu 8.04.. what should i do? i made sure the restricted, and the w32codecs, and the gstreamer were installed.. but it's not working.. [09:48] so what do you recommend? do i install v8.04 or wait for v8.10 final? [09:48] ziroday, do you know which log file i should check so that i can further diagnoze the problem? [09:48] leetsauce: yeah [09:48] Daremonai: no sorry. [09:48] leetsauce, just install hardy [09:48] leetsauce: install 8.04 [09:48] maco, ok thanks wish I could fine some more comprehensive stuff on this I read everything I could find over the course of some days [09:49] okay [09:49] anyone here tried installing ubuntu on a toshiba laptop? [09:49] damn i hate that speed, damn :p [09:49] I have a problem installing linux on a toshiba satellite s300. After a while the screen will scramble. It happens before any of the installation steps. [09:49] DaveKong: look for grub.conf on google. it's called that in lots of distros. [09:49] leetsauce: yeah I before but quite long time [09:49] xjohn, seek out and delete all gstreamer/totem settings hidden in your home folder [09:49] leetsauce: yes me [09:49] delete the ".xine" folder too [09:49] marcustomized: where would all those be? [09:49] cool, is it possible to dual boot? [09:50] xjohnthomasx: please paste output of command - dpkg -l gstreamer0.10* - in pastebin [09:50] within your home folder [09:50] and should i get the 23bit version or 64bit? [09:50] 32*bit [09:50] Why not, its just your bootsector no? [09:50] scattered in everything that starts with a "." [09:50] If you install windows first then linux. [09:50] leetsauce: why do you think it won't be possible to do dual boot? [09:50] he will make dualboot [09:50] i'm using dual boot right now [09:50] leetsauce: and 32 or 64 bit depends on your processor [09:50] slytherin: just asking :D [09:50] no problem at all [09:50] slytherin: http://pastebin.com/m8585952 [09:51] leetsauce: yes, and deciding between those is up to you. Some apps don't run on 32bit whilst 64bit can be faster and can use more then 3.5GB ram [09:51] my machine is 64, but i install 32 [09:51] i have a 64bit processor, but i heard there aren't much programs for 64bit [09:51] maco: alright and I will just have to keep a careful eye on what I put in usr/local for /home I am following the advice of using different user logins to keep things seperate on the same partition [09:51] 64bit is hard to find right soft [09:51] i just need basic functionality though, no games or anything.. [09:51] not all are supported [09:51] yea give it another 2 or 3 years and 64bit will be king [09:52] then just wait till that time to come [09:52] ziroday: can i somehow log what happens in windows and then do the same in linux ? [09:52] s [09:52] is there a significant speed difference between 32bit and 64bit? is it noticeable? [09:52] leetsauce: you won't have luck with flash on 64 bit. [09:52] is it ok to install 386 ubuntu on 64 bit processor? [09:52] ziroday: i mean like the init string and all these [09:52] ziroday, in /var/log/syslog: ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found. - does that matter? [09:52] DaveKong: that's safe for /home for /usr/local ...when you compile, use --prefix=/usr/local/64 or /usr/local/32 (create those directories) to keep things separate [09:53] georgeaf: no, as in windows those logs aren't displayed [09:53] maco ok thanks a lot for all your help [09:53] it will make things complicated [09:53] unless ur running server [09:53] DaveKong: honestly, desktop system.... / /home & swap are all ya need. servers separate /var to keep DOS attacks from flooding their entire / and killing it all. unlikely you need that on a desktop system [09:53] slytherin: did you see that? http://pastebin.com/m8585952 [09:53] Daremonai: don't think so, but I am not an expert on the matter. You may want to file a bug [09:53] xjohnthomasx: yes, you have all the necessary plugins installed. [09:53] slytherin: my playback is stuttering, slow, no audio, and blue in totem! [09:53] ziroday, mmm okay [09:53] xjohnthomasx: is the file available somewhere for download? [09:54] no, it's any mpeg [09:54] xjohnthomasx: then something else is wrong. [09:54] maco ok [09:54] hello,k does somebody know how to format a hadrisk with ubuntu??? [09:54] slytherin: please help.. im at your direction [09:55] can i burn the iso to a dvd? [09:55] computech, use gparted [09:55] leetsauce: there are DVD iso available for download as well. [09:55] xjohnthomasx: let me think [09:55] you guys i need some MAJOR help. I was on my laptop and under CCSM i went to general settings, and opacify windows and set it to any and 0 by accident, now i cant see nothing!!! :( plz help [09:55] slytherin: pm me?

I was on my laptop and under CCSM i went to general settings, and opacify windows and set it to any and 0 by accident, now i cant see nothing!!! :( plz help [09:58] mart, and then? [09:58] hold your horses man i am looking it up [09:58] computech, there u'll see partition manager [09:58] slytherin: what do you think [09:58] Daft Punk, can u open a terminal? [09:58] partition editor* [09:58] no [09:58] georgeaf: sorry I forgot about you. Try reading this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto [09:58] marcustomized, no i can go into safe boot tho [09:58] Daft_Punk do you have a boot cd? [09:58] smidge, yes i do [09:58] xjohnthomasx: which graphics card are you using? [09:58] mart, i dont see a partition manager :o [09:58] no worries yo not need it [09:58] slytherin: nvidia geforce 8400 [09:58] i mean partition editor [09:58] if u do that, I wont be able to walk u through it...

[09:59] mart, and also it looks like in synaptic that gparted isn't installed at the moment [10:00] Daft_Punk_: use control-alt-F1 to get a console up [10:00] smidge, i cant get a console because i cant see anything at all, just my background image [10:00] Daft_Punk: Use Ctrl + Alt + F1 to go to console and use this command - rm -rf ~/.compiz. Come back to GUI with Ctrl + Alt + F7, see if it helps [10:00] yes [10:00] leetsauce: wait [10:00] slytherin: should i just try using all xine stuff instead of gstreamer? [10:00] this is seperate to the gu [10:00] gui [10:00] slytherin: what's the difference between them? [10:00] slytherin, will that ruin my compiz settings at all? [10:00] nope it will take you out of x-windows temporarily [10:00] computech, one sec [10:00] Daft_Punkyes [10:01] mart, ok :) [10:01] i think i'll try another dialer [10:01] instead of wvdial [10:01] xjohnthomasx: do you think it might be problem with video card? But that still doesn't explain why there is no audio. [10:01] slytherin: no, no prob with video or audio card.. [10:01] computech, press alt+f2 [10:01] ye [10:01] slytherin: it's definitely something to do with the software [10:01] then type "gksu gparted" [10:01] xjohnthomasx: sorry, I meant video card driver [10:01] without quote [10:01] Daft Punk, run slytherin's command [10:02] slytherin, it did not work [10:02] u gotta be a root [10:02] mart, no sudo? [10:02] no [10:02] gksu gparted [10:02] slytherin: i dont think so. when i used xine totem, it seemed to play back ok, but then crashed after 30 secones.. [10:02] Can someone please help me with configuring IP Masquerading? [10:02] slytherin, it said it removed that folder but i go back to desktop and its still the same [10:02] Daft_punk_ wait one i am getting you the command you need [10:02] hey ain't all dialers use pppd ??? [10:02] * Daft_Punk_ cries, i think i just ruined compiz settings for no reaosn :( [10:02] Daft Punk, 'Ctrl + Alt + Backspace' to restart X [10:03] how is the dual core support on ubuntu? [10:03] marcustomized, ok [10:03] all dialers use pppd right ? [10:03] mart, it begins loading for about10 sec and then stops :o, by the way, this is a installed ubuntu, maybe thats why it doesn't work here?, does it only work if you run a live cd? [10:03] leetsauce: great. [10:03] Daft_Punk_: what marcustomized said [10:03] slytherin, yeah i did it im checking now [10:03] good :) [10:03] can anyone find me the dvd iso link... i cant find it on the website [10:03] xjohnthomasx: I am out of ideas. Please file a bug. [10:03] slytherin, marcustomized same thing... all windows are still opacify, i cant see nothing [10:04] computech, go to command then run"sudo apt-get install gparted" [10:04] that is because it is configured through the gconf backend [10:04] without quote, see if it's already installed [10:04] Daft_Punk_: obviously your GUI didn't start. Otherwise you wouldn't be here. I suggest you close down all the programs and then restart machine [10:04] mart, is that possible on a live cd to? or is it installed on a live cd by default? [10:05] slytherin, again, i am working on my laptop issue, i am on a desktop right now [10:05] computech, it's available on live cd but not installed [10:05] slytherin, are the compiz settings stored somewhere else? [10:05] what do u have now? [10:05] mart, i just go try something, be right back [10:05] leetsauce: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04.1/release/ [10:05] marcustomized: AFAIK, no [10:05] DAFTPUNK: gconftool-2 -s /apps/compiz/plugins/opacify/screen0/options/active_opacity 100 --type integer [10:06] smidge: that's not what he set [10:06] gconf is so retarded [10:06] he misspelled "opacity windows" in his original post [10:06] maco: ies4linux doesn't have IE7 [10:06] Daft_Punk_: just start metacity or boot into the Failsafe GNOME session from the login screen if you don't know how [10:06] Can someone please help me with configuring NAT? [10:07] then you can fix that setting in CCSM at your leisure [10:08] ok. my LAPTOP has this problem (i am on desktop right now). i was in CCSM and went to General settings and was in opacity settings, and added a new value so that ALL windows (any) are set at 0 opacity, which means i can see absolutely nothing except my desktop wallpaper... [10:08] i dont care if i have to redo my entire compiz settings, how can i reset it all [10:08] Daft_Punk_: yes, so log out, then select the "Failsafe GNOME" session at the login screen [10:08] crd1b, then what? [10:09] then you will be able to fix that setting in CCSM [10:09] as the failsafe session will not start compiz [10:09] crd1b, ok give me a second its rebooting now [10:09] slytherin: look around the site, there's a version on there that does. [10:09] slytherin: it might be ies4linux beta [10:09] crd1b, i am just panicky cuz it took me 1 week to get my laptop the way it was :( before i broked it [10:10] backups are good.... [10:10] 1 week to set up compiz?! [10:10] usb 1-1: device not accepting address 2, error -71 [10:10] what is that? [10:10] maco: found it [10:10] marcustomized, no, 1 week to setup EVERYTHING including, finding all the theme files and creating custom icons [10:11] custom icons,... delicious [10:11] errno 71 is a protocol error [10:11] kdavey, meaning? [10:12] heh heh... hell if I know. but thats what errno 71 is [10:12] is there a way to revert back if I update my hardy with unstable repositories and then back to stable repository? [10:12] now i feel like listening to Daft Punk's Discovery album. Thank you internet stranger. You've made my day that much sweeter. === Guest73738 is now known as good [10:12] crd1b, that worked... now im upset that _someone_ told me to delete ~/.compiz === good is now known as GooD [10:12] jitu3485: so you upgraded to 8.10 and now want to go back to 8.04? [10:12] Daft_Punk_: there are no settings in ~/.compiz [10:12] crd1b, what is in there? [10:13] jitu3485: no there is no way to revert back [10:13] Daft_Punk_: compiled plugins and some session information [10:13] crd1b, i had lots of compiled plugins :( [10:13] sometimes compiz can be configured to run with that file as settings, but in ubuntu it uses gconf [10:13] ziroday, i still have 8.04 updated it with unstable repo and want revert back to stable one removing everything installed by unstable ones [10:13] anyone got compiz run with wow? [10:13] jitu3485: it is not possible. [10:14] ok [10:14] noone? [10:14] gconftool-2 -s /apps/compiz/plugins/opacify/screen0/options/active_opacity 100 --type integer [10:14] how do i undo that command i did? [10:14] thanks for responses [10:14] hallo [10:15] Daft_Punk_: it didn't do any damage as that is the default value [10:15] crd1b, wow what a scare that was lol, thanks for helping me +1 karma [10:15] sudo rm -rf / [10:15] smidge, y would u say that? [10:15] is my first time in chat [10:16] cuz he's a dick [10:16] end it now :p [10:16] ya hes a dick... [10:16] Huh?? [10:16] madwizard, why are you so mad :( [10:16] I am MAd as in CrAzY [10:17] o, that kinda mad.... lame. [10:17] what? [10:17] And I got the Doc and pills to prove it [10:17] sweet [10:17] maco: the ies4linux I downloaded can install IE 7, it was just an davanced option. [10:17] sharing is caring [10:18] Ok I am very new Ubuntu, and it has been over 15 years since I got fed up with redhat and linux. [10:18] madwizard, aren't they still linux? [10:19] i don't see the big differences [10:19] Now what I would like to do at this point in install the chipset drivers for my motherboard, already downloaded them. [10:19] What fonts are collected in /usr/share/consolefonts? [10:19] hello everyone, could someone please tell me why i have "Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version" when I am trying to install ati drivers from their server on ubuntu 8.10 b? [10:20] slytherin: ah ok [10:20] Can someone please help me with configuring NAT? [10:20] mart I am test/trying out Ubuntu linux to see if I like it to run as a server for my home network [10:20] chipset drivers?! [10:20] oh i see. [10:20] MAdWizard`: you shouldn't need to install any chipset drivers. They are already there for you. [10:21] i think centos would be better for server [10:21] ziAck [10:21] madwizard, but home server, i have no ideas === desti_T2 is now known as desti [10:21] Ack, this is not like mIRC [10:21] madwizard, this is crazy [10:21] Hey how can I install xlib-dev package in ubuntu? [10:21] pure debian is pretty good for servers [10:22] Terabyte: sudo apt-get install xlib-dev [10:22] Terabyte: sudo apt-get install xlib-dev in a terminal [10:22] and slackware [10:22] ok Ziroday the motherboard and CPU are 64 bit, and Ubuntu installed as a 32 bit. [10:22] tried that.... [10:22] but it doesn't work [10:22] why [10:22] ubuntu-fr [10:22] "E: Couldn't ind package xlib-dev [10:22] MAdWizard`: Are you sure Redhat and linux existed 15 years ago? [10:22] join ubuntu-fr [10:22] hmm [10:22] lol [10:22] slytherin, Oh yes I'm sure I still have the book and CDs [10:23] slytherin, now that u mentioned it [10:23] dski: "E: Couldn't find package xlib-dev" sorry [10:23] !offtopic [10:23] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [10:23] oh yea, [10:23] gah!, rski* sorry :P [10:23] Terabyte: isnt it xlibs-dev ? [10:23] or something [10:23] oh ok, i'm reading off a forum [10:23] im sure it's just a typ-o [10:23] #join ubuntu-fr [10:24] where are ip address settings stored other than /etc/network/interfaces ? [10:24] chook1: its /join #ubuntu-fr [10:24] MAdWizard`: redhat was founded in 1995. :-P [10:24] ahh ok thx ziroday [10:24] ok thanks [10:24] zomg 12 years as opposed to 15 !!!!1 [10:24] yo!! [10:24] sly hang on [10:24] abooooooo [10:24] i'm surprised this room is normally busy [10:25] davidryder: this room is busy, if you would just like to chat you can in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:25] how can I edit the bootmanager? [10:25] is there any easy way to use two programs with a webcam at once? Will I have to compile vloopback? As I tried that but modprobe can't find it [10:26] editing the file at "/boot/grub/menu.lst" [10:26] ziroday: i'm watching to help, but i want to chat at the same time [10:26] plouffe: by editing the file /boot/grub/menu.lst Makse sure you know what you are doing as you can render your system unbootable [10:26] sly found the CDs but not the book, on 10 years ago [10:26] seams like 15 though [10:26] so pastebin it and let us make sure [10:26] davidryder: then join both channels :) [10:26] Thanks [10:27] Now back to todays issues, the 64 bit drivers [10:27] what about them [10:27] crazy_bus: what two programs do you want to use? [10:27] This motherbaord has a nVidia chipset, and yes nVidia wrote drivers for linux [10:28] MAdWizard, you dont really need drivers for anything besides graphics cards and obscure sound cards [10:28] ziroday, I just checked that file (menu.lst). Apparently it is not being used. How can I make sure that the menu.lst on this partition is used and not another? [10:28] if u intend on jus using ubuntu as a headless server, u can use the "vesa" driver or the "nv" driver [10:29] slytherin: cheese to record the video and either skype or ekiga [10:29] plouffe: what do you mean its not being used? Is the file empty? [10:29] marcus, reading through the tons of stuff it told me to get full use of the AMD Atrhalon dual core, I need the 64 bit drivers [10:29] No the entries are different, It must be using hte menu.lst from another partition [10:29] slytherin: as I can't find a program which will record a received webcam conversation on the other end [10:29] Hi there [10:29] MAdWizard`: you really should install 64bit ubuntu instead, less hasstle [10:29] plouffe: why do you think that file is not being used? [10:30] rski, is that a driverset or OS? [10:30] MAdWizard`: also you really don't gain much upgrading to 64bit [10:30] plouffe: are you running multiple linux distro's? [10:30] ziroday, I did a test install on another partition, but I am not using that partition anymore. So I need to make sure it's using this partition's boot files before I delete the other partition [10:30] 64 bit drivers will b preinstalled as well if u use the 64bit ubuntu disc [10:30] MAdWizard`: you have 32bit ubuntu installed from a 32bit ubuntu cd there is also a 64bit ubuntu install cd with 64bit ubuntu [10:30] !grub > plouffe [10:30] plouffe, please see my private message [10:30] Ok I used a XP Ubuntu installer [10:30] crazy_bus: cheese used gstreamer as backend. So if gstreamer doesn't lock the webcam you should be able to use it with skype or ekiga. [10:30] how do i add a user which only has access over the network but cannot login to the desktop? [10:31] plouffe: those links will help you [10:31] I could not get the CDs I burned to install [10:31] Maber: what would that user be doing? [10:31] ok thanks [10:31] Maber, I don't think you can do that [10:31] he shall have specific access to some folders [10:31] generatioan_sky [10:32] marcustomized: its linux, you can do everything. [10:32] :O [10:32] maber, do u mean to access ssh but not running xserver? [10:32] Maber: so he can't login? what do you mean by that specifically? [10:32] okay, do tell, cuz i'd like to know [10:32] slytherin: so if I load cheese first it should work? Or does gstreamer need a option to not lock the webcam [10:32] ok how can I find out what version and bit set on Ubuntu I am using?? [10:33] crazy_bus: no idea. never experimented this. [10:33] of Ubuntu [10:33] sheesh [10:33] MadWizard, which disk did u download? [10:33] MAdWizard`: lsb -a i think [10:33] Maber: I suppose you don't want the use to be part of GDM group. But I am not sure. [10:33] !version [10:33] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -rc » in a !shell [10:33] ah [10:34] marcus, I used a windows XP installer it did tell what version I was getting [10:34] i have a question... i have a usb mp3 player... any ideas what to use to detect it or use it? [10:34] davidryder: plug it in? [10:34] it isnt' detected automatically from what i can tell [10:34] um ok [10:34] might wanna try rockbox [10:34] not lsb -a for the version [10:34] davidryder: does it appear as just a normal usb driver? [10:34] *drive [10:35] davidryder, u have to mount it [10:35] ziroday: it isn't mounting automatically [10:35] davidryder: what player is it? [10:35] does it show up in nautilus? [10:35] mart: no... i am looking at /dev but i am not sure which it is [10:36] e.g.: i have an ubuntu server. this server has two network shares (smb) user1 and user2. i want to create user1 with read/write access to user1 dir but not user2 to write in user1 dir. but this users shall not be permitted to login to the desktop, because they dont need a home directory etc [10:36] marcus I used Wubildr to install Ubuntu === George_ is now known as GeorgeA [10:36] but does it show as folder in /media? [10:37] davidryder: you didn't tell us which player is it [10:37] mart: the only thing that i don't recognize in /media is tdm [10:37] ghgh [10:37] but it's contents is empty [10:37] hi2 [10:37] hi3 [10:38] so that's not ur mp3...

[10:39] gud..i looking for ubuntu fix solution [10:39] alkaliv2: do you have a removable eprom on your mobo? [10:39] zer0_: what's the problem? [10:39] davidryder, I don't believe so [10:39] let me tell u my story [10:39] alkaliv2: probably yes... does your mobo has a backup bios (dual bios or something like that) [10:40] alkaliv2: i did the same thing and asus sent me a replacement eprom, it was just replacing a chip. if your bios chip is removeable you will have to get a new mobo [10:40] is there a good program that I can use to do a full system backup and be able to restore a complete system when needed? [10:40] isn't* [10:40] !backup [10:40] There are many ways to back your system up.

[10:41] davidryder: does your player support MTP mode. Check if it is in MTP mode instead of usb mass storage mode. [10:41] alkaliv2: mobo manual ? [10:41] how come my vim doesn't show coloured syntax highlighting? Is there some setting I need to set?

Just wondering if I'd like to keep my windows and install ubuntu for the 50gb free space am I supposed to create a partition and choose Primary or Logical and beginning or end? Dont take me wrong, I'm just pretty new with this stuff [10:41] #sikelo [10:41] zer0_: everyone has different experiences with wubi but mine was not good. i ended up uninstalling it and creating a dual-boot system. because it's a virtual environment and it's also a new project disk reliability is low [10:41] simon49, please stop [10:41] #sikelo [10:42] !ops | simon49 [10:42] simon49: Help!

[10:42] #sikelo [10:42] slytherin: i don't think it has that support... it's actually a phone [10:42] erUSUL: Thanks for the hint; at least I know. Remember if it was some config file? [10:42] slytherin: Thanks! WIll try. [10:42] davidryder: which phone? [10:42] Symmetria: the default desktop iso is livecd [10:42] i cant install with live cd..eroor with initramfs [10:42] er, oh, didnt know that, will go pull that [10:42] slytherin: but in windows in rhapsody it detects it... no special software needed. although i did install drivers for it.

Thx! [10:43] paul68: there is a way to tar your /home folder. no special software needed. if you have to reinstall you can just restore your /home folder and whatever packages you installed and it will be back to normal [10:44] why does the Stopmotion application suck so much? [10:44] paul68: there is no registry in linux so it's just a matter of backing up settings files [10:44] paul68, i'd recommend using simplebackup [10:44] pengo: great question [10:44] it's gui, easy to use with hella features [10:45] smidge: it crashes on me whenever i try to open jpgs [10:45] and now i am sad.

[10:47] bazhang: thanks... i tried that page but there seems to be no information [10:47] zetheroo-ubuntu: you can try [10:48] slytherin: erUSUL: It wanted to install vim-gnome, and I didn't think I needed the GUI version (I use KDE, so I figured I didn't want it) === Teiseii is now known as Teisei [10:48] slytherin : ha ... I know I can try ... but if someone knew it could not be done then it would save me time and effort [10:48] smidge: *** glibc detected *** stopmotion: free(): invalid pointer: 0xb5b515c0 *** [10:49] cheers, just looking around, it seems stopmotion is pretty buggy on ubuntu in general [10:49] or at least on gnome based systems... [10:49] smidge: file bug [10:50] anyone know if xubuntu could be install over ubuntu? does it reflects each other? [10:50] and how about uninstalling it? [10:51] !wm [10:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about wm [10:51] mart: won't installing it overwrite all of your files? [10:51] no it isn't, just new packages [10:51] mart: just install xubuntu-desktop package, it will pull in everything that is present in xubuntu. You can then select which session to login to from the login screen [10:52] slythering, thanks but i want to know if xubuntu change the default app as well, such as office and other stuff [10:52] mart: you can install it at the same time and just select it in the in sessions menu at the login screen [10:52] but don't xfce apps take conflicts with gnome? [10:53] is there a way that I can move my mails from thunderbird under windows to my linux? [10:53] stopmotion (the app) doesn't really do much for me anyway [10:53] mart: no it won't change default apps. [10:53] mart: and there is no conflict with any of the apps. [10:53] paul68, just copy the profle folders [10:53] might as well just run mencoder [10:53] bye [10:53] lol [10:53] syltherin, thx just want to make sure [10:54] mart thanks [10:54] paul68: copy the files inside the profile folder on windows to the profile folder in ubuntu. [10:54] paul68, but u might have some problems with add ons.. just reinstall those [10:54] it should be fine [10:56] Hi. I've just built a custom kernel. I've already installed the .deb, but the terminal on which is was built has yet to give back input. It just says "This is kernel package version 11.001." . Is everything ok? Thanks.

[10:56] Bonjour [10:57] peter, just curious, what's the diff between building custom kernel and the ready one [10:57] Marcius, /join #ubuntu-fr [10:57] mart: I needed support for additional serial ports. It seems to be the only way [10:57] thanks [10:58] I've installed simplebackup and it's running in the background and safe the backup on location ssh root@myserver/backup_laptop/ but I don't see the directory appearing is this normal? [10:58] peter__, so custom could do it? [10:58] paul68, which option u use? [10:58] or should I have used the : first [10:58] mart: Yes. There may be a simpler way, theree really should be, but I'm not aware of it [10:59] peter__ , i got some ideas now,,, i'll check it out [10:59] mart I just selected use remote directory [10:59] I'm booting the custom kernel for the first time.....so far, so good. [10:59] I cannot set DMA on or 32bit IO on for my hard drive. Errors with HDIO_SET_32BIT failed and HDIO_GET_DMA failed. wtf ?? [10:59] peter__ would the setserial package be of any help? [11:00] paul68, via ssh/ftp? [11:00] smidge: No. I tried it. couldn'tget it to work that way [11:00] :9 bugger [11:00] yes via ssh === geo is now known as geo05 [11:01] smidge: It works! Eureka! [11:01] smidge: I was working on it all week. [11:01] paul68, then it should be fine... for the first option it take hella time [11:02] lol [11:02] and it runs in background, u could only notice the cpu percentage, paul68 === wilson_ is now known as WilsonG === WilsonG is now known as Lofde [11:02] mart ok but why don't I see the directory appear on my server? === Lofde is now known as Lofde_2 [11:02] peter_, how do i get one too? is there any template i could download or i have to build from scratch?

[11:03] paul68, is ur pc still loading? i mean hd and cpu? [11:04] Lofde_2: sorry to doubt, it works. [11:04] mart: Don't assume that it's going to have any benefit. [11:05] cpu is busy network almost idle [11:05] mart: that said, I did this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile . I did it the "old fashioned debian way", which worked well and was easy [11:05] smidge, trolling? nah haha [11:05] then it's still working, look up the tar file, paul68 [11:06] yeah, I used wget on the url in case you were hoping to spam me with cock porn [11:06] smidge, i just wanted to make sure i had setup passthrough from my router correctly [11:06] where should it be located at this point? and is the ssh transfer only done when the backup is finished or am I wrong to usume this?

[11:06] smidge, please keep it family friendly [11:07] slytherin: the problem was i was using PulseAudio or autodetect wherever i needed audio, and by switching everything to alsa, the audio worked. the problem with the color was the hue balance needed to be on maximum because nvidia reverses the defaults for some reason.. then the stuttering video was the lag from the defecting audio... does that all seem to make sense??? it all works fine now... : ) [11:07] let's say u chose /var/backup then i'll be /var/backup/2008-10-02_19.58blablabla.ful [11:07] bullgard4: Alt + crtl + f1 [11:07] bullgard: i would imagine they are referring to the tty consoles, i,e, the ones you get with control-alt-F1 etc [11:08] paul68, it's actually a *.ful extension [11:08] erUSUL: Alt + crtl + f1 is not the Linux console. [11:08] xjohnthomasx: yes, didn't strike me before that it could be pulseaudio problem. I am glad it is working for you now. [11:09] slytherin: only slight hitch now, i wonder if i can get my flash video playback on internet to go any smoother.. sometimes there are very faint lines from video playback, as if the refresh rate is somehow slightly out of sync..

[11:10] bullgard4: reconfiguring console-setup let you choose the font and other properties of the tty consoles accessed by Crtl + alt + functionkey [11:10] erUSUL is correct [11:10] xjohnthomasx: can't help you there, don't watch many flash videos.

[11:17] paul68: try typing 'bg' in the console, it will list the current background jobs [11:18] you can check if it was killed or not with pidof gnome-panel [11:18] davidryder: that was easy enough :) should have known, thanks!

[11:27] mEck0: is this for everyday use or just for fixing? [11:27] erUSUL: I don't need to do recovery stuff [11:27] hi [11:27] smidge: I want to check some stuff without running X, not for everyday use [11:27] mEck0: if you only want to disasble X windows "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" [11:27] davidryder: I can do that, no problem. But automount is not working -- Nautilus just stopped opening content of the cd/dvd. [11:27] pop open a terminal and bust out: sudo init 1 [11:28] you get a single user non x console [11:28] amygdala: what happens when you manually mount? [11:28] then init 3 will return you to xwindows [11:28] how can i change the font of the menus such as file>settings etc (see screenshot, you will see the _normal_ fonts) http://img135.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot23hr9.png [11:28] mEck0: if you want that to be permanent (every boot with no X) "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove" [11:29] erUSUL: ok, thx, will try it. I was wondering since ubuntu 8.04 which I'm running, don't have a /etc/inittab where you otherwise could change runlevel [11:29] erUSUL: ah, thx!! [11:29] mEck0: no it has not. it uses upstart not Sytem V init [11:29] davidryder: Then, icon appear on the Desktop. And there is a note that it is read-only, which is ok! [11:30] erUSUL: ah, I see [11:30] mEck0: but anyway on debian/ubuntu all runlevels are equal (except 0-1-6 of course) [11:30] mEck0: it is not like in RH/fedora or other distros [11:30] hi i deleted some files from my USB drive then i un plugged my USB but my trash is having still files , i cant empty my trash when i do it still consists the files of my usb :( [11:30] erUSUL: okay, but why have different runlevels if they are equal then? [11:31] when i try to maximize any video/picture window, it exits why is this happening? [11:31] chocohoof: what software? [11:31] mEck0: well somebody may want to teawk the runlevels and make them different.. they are no different by default but you can configure them [11:31] how do I switch the default Java to Sun JDK 1.5?

[13:00] reqqit: logout and login again [13:00] I am using a new screen, they just appear as background, but they are there, I can click on them, and use them, but they are invisible... [13:00] ziroday, can I just run gnome-something -kill command and then run it again? [13:00] yes, I've tried a few different drivers [13:00] alrighty, I'll try that [13:01] reqqit: you have set them to be transparent.. You can change this by right clicking a clear area of the toolbar and going to Preferences [13:01] gregge: which one are you currently using? [13:01] How can i see all computers in network? is there a way to do this? [13:01] gregge: and what are you playing the videos with? [13:01] what ubuntu program can I use so that it reads the text and outputs as audio? I apologize if this is the wrong channel to ask this...I will take note of instruction [13:02] aaron_: orca [13:02] jokkaa: as in all thier IP addresses? [13:02] jokkaa, install nmap (sudo apt-get install nmap) then run nmap 192.168.0.* [13:02] ziroday, ass in their ips and coputer names === zeno is now known as zeno__ [13:02] jokkaa: ifconfig tells you if you have an ip address and if you can ping something you're online [13:02] it will list all the possible computers from 192.168.0.1-255 === zeno__ is now known as zeno_ [13:03] thanks [13:03] Does anyone here know how du install a ULTRA ATA/133 PCI RAID card? === zeno_ is now known as zeno___ [13:03] remoteCTRL, hu..? [13:03] ziroday`: right now I'm in windows, but I used Envy to install the 7.13.. or whatever it was called. I was talking about flashvideos because it was so evidently choppy in them, but everything is slow in ubuntu for me [13:03] why is it so hard to set up a simple local dns server to roslve local domain names for local use [13:03] Всем а [13:03] !ru | armi [13:03] armi: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [13:04] jokkaa: go to places and click on network [13:04] uhhh [13:04] that worked. thanks. so the reason I am on this older 7.10 machine now is my 8.04 machine has decided to grate its hard disk from what I can gather [13:04] bobrock: there's been nothing simple about DNS for a long time. it's one of those things that's evolved into place instead of being designed for it's current jo [13:04] remoteCTRL, but that only shows me the shared folders right? [13:04] nope on a server [13:04] I've had two good boots from it, where I did some additional backups after using restore disc also [13:04] guys how do u rename a file rename {file_name} perlexpr {rename_name } is this right ? [13:04] gregge: sorry, but saying everything is slow is really really hard to diagnose. Perhaps next time you go to ubuntu you can run the program "top" in the terminal and see if there is a program taking up a large amount of CPU cycles [13:04] jokkaa: yes [13:04] а, сенкс [13:05] I think it has bad sectors on the disk - can I confirm this with a scan from live cd? [13:05] remoteCTRL, yeah.. well i wanna see all computer names and ip,s not to se their shares just to see their locations and wich computers are located [13:05] Hello, does someone know a good and easy to use programm for making backups on linux? It has to be able to make backups from a location in the network (example: \\server\test) [13:05] I've got too much time, anyone a cool and useful terminal application i could port to DSLinux?

I am gonna buy a new HDD, not sure whether to put 8.04 or 8.10 on it - for dev work, no media / printing / wifi or stuff like that, just an apache server (and not critical) [13:12] ziroday: Yeah. I can't do it with alacarte [13:12] no [13:12] reqqit¬ afaik 8:10 isnt LTS.. so imo go with 8.04 [13:12] remoteCTRL, i think its searching now.. lol [13:12] reqqit: unless you know what you are doing using 8.10 is *strongly* [13:12] unrecommened [13:12] I want my xp machine to use my bind server on ubuntu to reolove ip adress [13:12] \etc [13:12] hey guys how do i mount 'W95 Ext'd (LBA)' [13:12] mount -t ? [13:12] bobrock: basically that is not a linux question but go to start/contorl panel/network, rightclick your lan connection and double click tcp/ip there, there you can enter the adress of dns servers [13:13] which fs :) [13:13] ziroday - it isn't in bootable or usable mode? [13:13] bobrock¬ whats remoteCTRL said [13:13] what* [13:13] first time...have to take a look [13:13] yes I know that but what would be ip adress of server [13:13] reqqit: it is bootable and usable, however it can often and crash and can destroy your hardware [13:14] bobrock¬ goto terminal on the server and do ifconfig -a [13:14] bobrock: what kind of question is that? have you got one set up or not? [13:14] look like a wery ok place this [13:14] bye [13:15] thats right I know ip adress of server but even when I put that in tcp/ip of winxp doesn;t work [13:15] bobrock: then there is probably soemthing wrong with that server [13:15] ok [13:15] bobrock¬ try ##networking [13:15] ziroday`, yep, I am gonna stick with 8.04, but I'll try 8.10 on my aspireONE when it comes out [13:15] hi all [13:16] so you are saying that I was right to put ip adress of server in tcp [13:16] reqqit: great [13:16] ziroday` - any news on the UI stuff? I groked the wiki, but there was nothing definitive, just some negative comments on the current alpha [13:16] SzalonyMjut: Hi! [13:16] unop: hi old lad are you there? [13:16] reqqit: you can ask in #ubuntu+1 [13:16] kk [13:16] bobrock: of course i wouldn't know of another way [13:16] remoteCTRL, aye aye, what's up? [13:17] unop: nice seeing you:) could you help me with a sound issue please? [13:17] remoteCTRL, I can try - what seems to be the matter? [13:17] Hey, everyone! I need a shell command, that allows to sync hard disk to backup one. IE delete and add files, skip matching ones. Anyone? [13:17] I have problem with automount devices, so if I plug in pendrive, I must go places->compuer-> and clic on it, after that pendrive icon is visible on Desktop [13:18] unop: nice, thanks: i have no screensaver turned on in the actual sense but ubuntu turns off the screen after some time, when i return from that my sound is gone [13:18] how do i give permision to a user to mount ntfs partitions? please help :-s [13:18] unop: so far i could only fix that by rebooting... [13:18] what symbols do you use to pipe error messages in bash etc (instead of | ) [13:18] jxander: man fstab [13:18] yeah... been there [13:18] the user option doesn't work [13:18] gmorning [13:19] remoteCTRL, are you sure it's not a blank screen saver ?? === harlan83 is now known as nicholas [13:19] jxander: that is strange, tried to chmod the folder? [13:19] /dev/sda1 /media/System ntfs rw,user,exec,dev,suid,auto,async 0 0 [13:19] i cant find the line concerning my mounting options for the windows partition..

[13:19] unop: i guess you know that; screen turns black slowly [13:19] bill_: cat /proc/mounts [13:19] remoteCTRL: i'll try right now [13:20] hi can anyone tell me how can i stop my PC monitor from getting in switch off mode when i leave for 10 min?????. [13:20] how do i install goodies so i can compile/make c [13:20] :P [13:20] pengo, the only way to pipe data to another program is via the pipe ( | ) .. to pipe just error messages. command 2>&1 >/dev/null | command2 [13:21] unop: blank screen it is indeed [13:21] Hello. how do i find out if i have 3d rendering on? [13:21] remoteCTRL, that sounds like gnome-screensavers' blank screensaver - try turning that off, and see if it rectifies the issue .. alternatively, i think you could get away by terminating the gnome-screensaver process [13:21] hello [13:21] unop: try that, sec, please [13:21] i'm italian... server italian ce?

[13:22] unop: humm i turned it off and killed the process but that didn't bring the sound back:-/ [13:23] unop: is that a known issue? [13:23] unop: basically that worked just fine until yesterday, no idea what happened there [13:23] pengo, you could also use a subshell trick like this. command >/dev/null 2>( command2 ) [13:23] unop: thanks [13:23] uncorq: command2 has to be in brackets? [13:24] I heard about some group trying to reverse engineer nvidia drivers, does anyone know more about this? [13:24] remoteCTRL, hmm, it's not a known issue - atleast to me it isn't [13:24] remoteCTRL, have you updated anything since yesterday? [13:24] unop, how are you doing today>? [13:24] pengo, yes, the parantheses are needed [13:24] icesword, good good, you? :) [13:25] unop: i ran the updates the day before but i dont recall anything about screensaver or pulse being in there... [13:25] erUSUL: In /proc/mounts it got 2 references about ext3 but nothing about NTFS. Mind that my Vista partition is auto-mounted SOMEWHERE and working, but i need the mount string [13:25] bill_: well it should appear there even if it is via ntfs-3g fuse [13:26] unop, hehe, maybe you just feel good when helping ppl, no worries, I am still alive, dude [13:26] bill_: that's how my winXp appears /dev/sda1 /media/WinXP fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0 [13:26] no its not fuse, its a normal ext3 partition [13:26] bill_: no fstab line for it just click on places [13:26] Hi. How to setup firewall in ubuntu? [13:26] this is awkward [13:26] hit folks! [13:26] bill_: i thought you said it was a ntfs partition [13:27] emman, hi, hit? [13:27] deepbluegene: manually with iptables, graphical frontend would be for example firestarter [13:27] yes it is, but linux run on its ext3 partition [13:27] hi [13:27] hey, can you repair the MBR on a HDD from a live CD? [13:27] remoteCTRL, sound's not working now, is it? [13:27] ilec: have a look at supergrub disk [13:27] Hi there! Could someone help me with some printer configuration problems? I followed several tracks (amongst which CUPS and Brother's own drivers), but nothing seems to work well.... I'd like to start over again! [13:27] unop: nope [13:27] hello, i have a question about simple backuip suite, does anyone know how to make the programm backup location that are in the network? [13:27] remoteCTRL, does this give you anything? fuser /dev/snd/* /dev/dsp [13:27] yup, doing that now [13:28] thanks [13:28] can I install ubuntu on eeePc1000? [13:28] unop: says /dev/snd/controlC0: 7127 [13:28] /dev/dsp: 8214 [13:28] emman, sure, you can [13:28] basically i did a fresh installation on a friends latptop, ontop on his NTFS (vista) partition. He is fuse partioned unlike my box which is ext3 and ntfs separate. The problem is he cant see his "windows" filesystem and im trying to give him a valid "rwx" mount string to add on his fstab [13:29] icesword thru live CD? [13:29] remoteCTRL, ok, now this? ps aux | egrep "7127|8214" [13:29] hi [13:29] i laucnhed the upgrade of my system with update-manager -d [13:29] /server irc.epiknet.org [13:29] emman, well, ubuntu can be installed via many ways [13:29] when it comes to the final step, will it ask for reboot or will it reboot automatically? [13:29] emman, live cd is the most common way [13:29] term_, in terminal "glxinfo | grep -i rendering" [13:30] is the live CD the easiest way? [13:30] unop: says klaus 7127 0.0 0.8 244636 18356 ?

[13:30] thank you icesword [13:30] bill_: so he is using wubi [13:30] hi - ive got my pc plugged into my TV, but the image on the screen is ghosting [13:31] warren_: ubuntu never reboots on its own [13:31] emman, be my guest [13:31] ok, thanks [13:31] i can leave hi alone then! bye [13:31] erUSUL: sorry he is using wubi apparently. I just wanna help him enable his Vista partition [13:31] does anyone know a good backup programm to backup location from the network (with a gui), i already watched those at !backup but i dont know how to make simplebackup suite or so backup locations from the network [13:31] bye! [13:31] and 2ndry i wanna see where in the heck mine is mounted though! Not on fstab/mtab and on proc/mounts? possible? [13:31] bill_: dunno much about wubi sorry... not sure if he can access the windows filesystem [13:32] guys I have problem install magento on ubuntu it says It dont have permissions so I did sudo chown username /magento but it doesnt work either [13:32] Computech: well gui is hard if i recall correctly amanda has a gui but rsync is best for that kind of jobs [13:32] as far as i know he mounts the sda normally like if he had ext3 and ntfs too [13:32] bill_, wubi? there is a site? like is wubi.org or what? not clear now? [13:32] remoteCTRL, ok, try this. kill 7127; kill 8214 #and then try playing something to get sound [13:32] remoteCTRL, are those instalable from synaptic?

[13:33] unop: genious! it made a clack and now it works again [13:34] unop: now what the h*** was that?? [13:34] remoteCTRL, i suspect that the gnome-screensaver command starts of the ESD process which locks the sound device - not allowing other programs to access it, i suspect -- try setting the screensaver off again [13:34] comicinker: something is accessing that module, like a media player or gnome or whatever, as long as it is in use you can't [13:35] unop: yeah i got it off now [13:35] remoteCTRL: how can I find out what's using that module?

[13:48] remoteCTRL: Riva TNT 2 [13:48] i'm trying to hide software i don't want other people to use [13:48] unop, indeed [13:48] icesword, i'll give you a pointer. chmod [13:48] :o [13:48] soundray: thanks . it was not installed [13:49] pbn: you might hav e to manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add the desired resolutions in there in order for X to be able to recognize it [13:49] remoteCTRL: yes I was thinking of editing it ... but.... I find no modelines at all in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ! [13:49] unop, hehe [13:49] also sotware like thunderbird [13:49] discografico: okay. I'm afraid I can't help with truecrypt specifics. I think if you want to hide a software installation in it, you'd have to install it directly from an upstream binary instead of from an Ubuntu package. [13:50] can anybody recommend an application that lets me download websites? not just a single page but i'm talking about a program that follows every link and downloads everything related to that website, possibly avoiding advertisements [13:50] pbn: search for example configs in google i don't know the exact nomencalture by heart... [13:50] seems I have configured orca [13:50] remoteCTRL: hmm still problem btw if I set right on magento folder all subfolders has same permission right? [13:50] how do I get it to read a web page [13:50] !info wget | Finiras [13:50] finiras: wget (source: wget): retrieves files from the web. In component main, is standard. Version 1.10.2-3ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 233 kB, installed size 1924 kB [13:50] anyone familiar with alephone? [13:50] thanks soundray [13:50] ljl wget is just to download a single file [13:50] rajec: should have, yes, if not try magento/* [13:50] Finiras: no it isn't [13:51] discografico: my best advise would be to not let others log in through your username . give them a guest account . [13:51] Finiras: 'man wget' and search for 'recursive' [13:51] Finiras: "man wget", hit "/", search for "mirror" [13:51] aaron_: with your eyes? [13:51] hi all [13:52] murlidhar: if they log as a guest account they will not see installations like thunderbirds or phonebooks etc.etc.? [13:52] I want to have speech read aloud with orca [13:52] aaron_: oh sorry man, umm you put the cursor in the webpage [13:52] ok [13:52] I'm trying to compile something. It says I need a certain .hpp file...I have the file, but where do I put it? [13:52] discografico: they will see the installed programs, but they certainly won't see *your* mails or *your* phonebook [13:52] oh ok [13:52] blueman: what are you trying to compile? [13:52] discografico: no they won't see any data that has been entered through your account [13:52] nothing happening [13:53] Just a game engine [13:53] i'll try [13:53] thanks [13:53] no problems [13:53] remoteCTRL: somebody told me to set permission to apache server [13:53] aaron_ what happens if you mark a paragraph? [13:53] blueman, which game engine? we can't guess things if we don't know what one is doing [13:53] I am new here, nice to meet you all [13:53] unop, that has worked a treat!! Thanks a lot. I'd never have worked that out for myself. Thanks [13:53] hi | phoenixbai [13:53] by mark do you mean highlight [13:53] nothing happens [13:54] !test [13:54] sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [13:54] rajec: umm in that case it should be enuff to set the group of the folder to apache or add user apache to the group that owns the magento folder [13:54] Gizmo_The_Great, you need to have an understanding of perl or regular expressions to use rename [13:54] actually, it's pretty obscure, so I'll think I'll go on their IRC channel for help... [13:54] is there a gui for configuring mount points and options? [13:54] aaron_ humm for me that works [13:55] jxander: nope you do that in /etc/fstab [13:55] remoteCTRL: ok but If Iam only user on my ubuntu installation I am user of apache [13:55] rajec: nope apache runs a s wwwrun as far as i recall [13:55] the only time I hear sound being read is when the ocra preferences tab is hit [13:56] remoteCTRL: tried... not working :(... if i remove the entries, it works, but i have to mount by clicking on the desktop... i want to auto mount the ntfs partitions and i can't get the right options :( user option doesn't work for me [13:56] aaron_: orca has got some substantial configuration options how to read what, have a look at those [13:56] remoteCTRL: so could you please tell me how to find under which user it runs and how to change those permissions [13:56] ok thanks [13:57] jxander: aouto mount option is simply auto but it aoutomounts it only on system start then if you want to do that manually you type mount -a, that mounts everything that is in fstab [13:57] rajec, you want to change the user apache runs under? [13:57] rajec: ps aux | grep apache should give you the user [13:57] soundray: geez . now when i press unlock button in network-admin i get an error " could not authenticate. unexpected error has occured" . i am using openbox and i don't have gnome session at all . [13:57] unop: hmm yeap. As I said I've installed magento(eshop system) but it has problem with permissiosn [13:58] rajec, what's wrong with the default user? www-data [13:58] remoteCTRL: what happens when i click on places > ? i would want to mimic that at startup and i want the mounted partitions to stay mounted until i unmount them [13:58] rajec, maybe all you need to do is adjust permissions then - changing the apache user could give you more problems [13:58] unop: nope he wants apache to use some magento stuff that he has i the /var/www folder and he needs to change permissions on that so that apache can access it [13:58] murlidhar: I see, that's fairly non-standard... Consider editing your /etc/network/interfaces directly [13:58] rajec, what kind of permissions issues are you having? [13:58] remoteCTRL, ahh [13:59] jxander: i don't understand the question? [13:59] hi [13:59] soundray: so is there any application that can help in configuring ip address and dns address like network-admin ? [13:59] rajec, which directory under /var/www does magento install it's stuff to? [13:59] Any suggestions for a lightweight alternative to firefox that's got a few more features than Dillo? [13:59] murlidhar: ifconfig does that on commandline [14:00] how can I tune the cpufreq selector to set "performance" mode on ac power and "ondemand" on battery (hardy) ? [14:00] remoteCTRL: i needed a gui application . [14:00] thomc, epiphany, galeon, opera [14:00] remoteCTRL: http://www.picamatic.com/view/1129426_Screenshot/ [14:00] unop, thanks. [14:00] murlidhar: network-manager is the gui application, anything works just fine in there usually [14:00] soundray: in short words an alternative to network-admin [14:00] unop: under magento. What I did I set rights my chmod username magento [14:01] rajec: www-data it is [14:01] unop: but it still has some permision issues(after loading magento under browser) [14:01] remoteCTRL: bash: network-manager: command not found [14:01] rajec: you need to chmod it to www-data as that is apaches user [14:01] remoteCTRL: Ok so should I change id or rather add permissions for www-data on magento folder [14:01] hello, a quick question regarding 8.10 beta: i'd love to know if the 2.6.27 kernel in the beta currently contains the bug that will brick intel 82567LM eth controllers (it is in the 2.6.27 RC vanilla) ? [14:01] I keep getting this error when I am trying to run symantik (upgrade of kdissert) from /usr/lib/kde4/bin/semantik symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv [14:02] rajec, well, the user www-data has no access to that directory :) how do you expect it to access it? [14:02] murlidhar: I don't know. I edit config files directly, or I use gnome tools. There are probably other GUI tools, but I'm not familiar with those. [14:02] murlidhar: not possible:D what does dpkg -l network* return? [14:02] piksi, it does. That's why the module is disabled [14:02] remoteCTRL: sorry. so... i have a ntfs partition and i can use it since i installed ubuntu by mounting it from places > partname, but after a while it unmounts... i want it to stay mounted... i also want those partitions to be mounted on boot. are there options for the automount? these ntfs partitions don't appear in fstab. i tried adding them, but the old style with /dev/sda1 didn't work and i don't get the new UUID=XXXXXX syntax [14:02] unop: don't ask me I am windows user mostly :D [14:02] rajec, is magento a group on your system? [14:02] rajec, forget windows - that's a whole different ballgame [14:02] remoteCTRL: note, murlidhar is on OpenBox and has an incomplete nm installation [14:03] Seveas: good, so it's safe to test (it's on the blacklist right?) [14:03] unop: magento is just folder [14:03] soundray: i have network-manager installed . [14:03] piksi, it should be [14:03] Seveas: thank you :-) [14:03] rajec, ok, what does this give you? getent group www-data [14:03] soundray: oh i didn't get that, sorry [14:03] rajec, and this. getent group magento [14:04] murlidhar: you're missing other components, though, that you need in order to run network-admin [14:04] jxander: i told youbefore man have a look at the man pages from fstab its all in there [14:04] ello [14:04] hello! I have a partition in "/dev/sda6" and I'm trying to mount it using "fstab". I can mount it, but got no permissions once it's mounted. Any ideas? [14:04] unop: getent group www-data -> www-data:x:33: , and magento give me nothing as I said magento is just folder [14:05] gosh is today mounting day?:D [14:05] unop: folder where is magento(php eshop system) copied [14:05] rajec, ok, this out to fix it then. sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www/magento [14:05] luis08: when you mount it via cli do you get permissions? [14:05] murlidhar: is there a particular reason why you prefer OpenBox? [14:05] where can i find the logs of #ubuntu? [14:05] luis_: you need to add the option user in /etc/fstab to make it user readable [14:06] outbackwifi, yes, using cli I can get permissions [14:06] !logs | Computech [14:06] Computech: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [14:06] ty [14:06] remoteCTRL, already did that [14:06] soundray: yes i don't like gnome desktop [14:06] luis08: what options have you specifiied in fstab? [14:06] soundray: and i like openbox only [14:06] luis_: you need to remount it after that in order to have the changes take affect [14:06] remoteCTRL: i know and i have. i tried the "user" option, but it just said unable to mount and it didn't work. i saw that on the ntfs-3g site they say the user option has an issue with mount. :( [14:06] outbackwifi, "/dev/sda6 /home/guilherme/Shared vfat defaults,user" [14:06] i downloaded the intrepid beta, but it does not recognize one of my hard disc drives (the primary one), is this a known bug in the installer? i can see the 5 partitions in the LiveCD, but, when i run the installation process the primary hard drive appears empty.

Hence I'd like to get this input device working outside of lirc. is there some way I can forward the output to a custom command via xorg.conf or something similar? Th [14:14] anks!

[15:27] with ubuntu [15:27] is it possible [15:27] thiebaude 1 GB DDR [15:27] Petein: because ubuntu does that, no matter how much you have, it is a different strategy then windows [15:28] i mean my friends system is recently effected with a virus not allowing xp to boot so i would like to install ubuntu and do a favour to him [15:28] matt__: doesn't make a difference if it is ubuntu or fedora or what ever, it's the same toolset that you are using [15:28] removing mbr from hard disk ...... [15:28] is it possible [15:28] Petein, i told you, because it uses free ram as cache, it doesn't let it go to waste. if you suddenly need the cached ram for a program the kernel will delete the cache and use it for that program.

[15:43] photon_: settings look ok to me, how far away are you from that access point? [15:43] remoteCTRL, the link is dead but why is it still provided by ubuntu help ? [15:44] MachinTrucChose: pick the correct ip address. the kernel's routing table will handle the rest [15:44] techsupport: i guess the "check if any of the trillion links is down" guy is on a holyday:P [15:44] hyperair1: I'm using Hamachi, and can't ping/connect to other computers.

[15:49] heh [15:49] photon_: so you re basically connected but firefox don't work? [15:50] well, I don't see anything you guys type when I'm on wireless [15:50] you only see what I type remoteCTRL :) [15:50] photon_: ahaaaa that means you have a tx but no rx [15:50] hyperair1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/53826/ [15:50] MachinTrucChose: check your iptables rules as well "sudo iptables -L" [15:50] probably. How to fix that tho? [15:50] * Kondensuotas_pie damusineja obuoli [15:50] hello [15:51] I can check how many bytes receive for the wireless I guess [15:51] does anyone codes in visual basic 2008? [15:51] photon_: trun up the transmission strength of your access point? [15:51] MachinTrucChose: if you're using ufw or firestarter, disable it and try again [15:51] Dragan91: not aviable in linux [15:51] photon you should see that with iwlist [15:51] remoteCTRL, how? === hyperair1 is now known as hyperair [15:51] photon_: uuuh meant iwconfig [15:51] hyperair: http://paste.ubuntu.com/53827/ [15:51] I don't believe I'm using either of them.

[15:53] MachinTrucChose: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=624184 [15:54] MachinTrucChose: ufw is installed but not enabled by default. don't touch it [15:54] I've always wanted to roam, secretly. [15:54] oh [15:54] Dragan91: why not use the free radeon drivers? [15:54] MachinTrucChose: have you done hamachi go-online ? [15:54] photon_: well if you don't have any ip adress its gonna get hard... [15:54] i cant use them as it seems that 8.04 doesnt support my card :( so i cant use 3d features :( [15:54] hyperair: I'm using the gHamachi GUI. I logged in, and I see all the other computers, and the Windows computer in particular with a green dot that indicates it's online [15:54] remoteCTRL, maybe you know this, i'm trying to restart ntpdate by sudo /etc/init.d/ntpdate restart but that returs command not found [15:54] * Kondensuotas_pie ka veikt ?

[15:55] uname -a, I think [15:55] techsupport: sudo /etc/init.d/ndpd restart [15:55] hi [15:55] MachinTrucChose: but you musth ave a green dot next to the network name, if i'm not mistaken [15:56] I can only conclude roaming mode did not work. [15:56] hi, does ubuntu do anything to the lvm package to change the magic number ? [15:56] as expected :) Network Tools return 0 packets sent 0 packets returned. [15:56] MachinTrucChose: right click on the network and click go online. just because *they* are online, it doesn't mean that *you* are online [15:56] photon_: do sudo dhclient eth0 [15:56] i have a question. i want to backup my sql database. do i only need to go to my server's myphpadmin and export my database? or is there anything else to do? [15:57] remoteCTRL, same [15:57] photon_: so how were you able to write previously then??? [15:57] remoteCTRL, ethernet cable on back :) [15:57] hyperair: the network does indeed have a red dot. However, my Hamachi "power" icon is green, and if I press it, I go "Offline" (network and peers disappear). I click it again., it goes "Logging into Hamachi" and redisplays the network and peers. [15:57] Is there a good way via CLI to tell what version of Ubuntu I have running? I'm away from home and just upgraded to Intrepix, when I reboot my laptop from here I want to make sure it worked. [15:57] Dragan91: have you tried system>Admin>hardware drivers yet? [15:57] to test the wireless I unplug it [15:57] techsupport: in that case you might want to install it before restarting it?:D [15:57] Dougy[Work]: lsb_release -a [15:57] hi [15:57] No [15:57] MachinTrucChose: you don't understand what i mean. right click on the NETWORK NAME.

[15:58] when i go there there are no propetatory drivers listed [15:58] dhclient return a bunch of lines, 'bound to 192.168.0.169' as last line, first two lines 'unknown address' [15:58] remoteCTRL, yes, very strange. with no cable plugged :P [15:58] remoteCTRL, which ntpdate returs usr/sbin/ntpdate [15:58] Dragan91: then i dunno :( [15:58] Hi! Does anyone know if I can include Hardy's repo for Enlightenment DR17 (e17.dunnewind.net hardy e17) when I have Ubuntu Feisty? [15:58] hyperair: thank you for all your help. I don't recall having to do this in the Windows version...I figured if I can see the other users, it meant I'm logged in. I should've been using the console version to avoid this. Thanks for saving my lazy ass. [15:58] restoring non-roaming mode anyway... :) [15:58] techsupport: i don't know what that is supposed to be but yet still you might wanna apt-get install ntp [15:58] slaw6: you can't [15:59] is there a way to install a package (my system doesn't boot anymore) from the live cd [15:59] i will install my ubuntu now [15:59] exco: chrooting to the hardware install from the livecd ? [15:59] photon_: if you switch to non roaming you need to fill in an ip, a gateway, a subnetmask and dns servers manually [15:59] erUSUL: any problems? I know it IS possible, but I wonder if there will be no conflict. [15:59] how do i make a dedicated server of counter strike on ubuntu? [15:59] erUSUL : thanks, I'll read up on that [15:59] remoteCTRL, I gave you those before :) [16:00] Anybody know where the #abit board might be located? I'm trying to get my IX38 running. [16:00] i really hate using windows cuz its too hard to maintain and it crashes all the time :( only thing that is stopping me from doing is that i cant set up my world of warcraft to work with it :( [16:00] exco: yes, boot the live cd, mount the system on the disk, changeroot into it and install [16:00] MachinTrucChose: ah hell. i don't know how to use ghamachi. in the command line, it's "hamachi go-online " [16:00] how do i make a dedicated server of counter strike on ubuntu? [16:00] wired connection is roaming and works, wireless has been tested in roaming and with the info I gave you before, and does not work.

[16:01] cs 1.6 [16:01] Anthony: try using wine on dedicated server [16:01] yes [16:01] hyperair: it's my fault for using an unofficial GUI instead of the developer's instructions (CLI). Except for this thing, gHamachi is 100% identical to the Windows version, which is why I was fooled. [16:01] yes [16:01] slaw6: you can not mix repos from different versions of ubuntu. probably the packages wont install due to missing dependencies (feisty packages too old) [16:01] irc.p2p-network.net [16:01] firefox works in wired mode, and xchat === DamienGray-SLEEP is now known as DamienGray [16:01] what is best partition to install ubuntu on? ext3?

[16:01] MachinTrucChose: no, it's not 100% identical. i use hamachi-gui instead. [16:01] Dragan91, , use ext2 [16:01] cumknot no problem [16:02] if you want dual boot [16:02] Photon why ext2? === Airi is now known as lenios [16:02] grub fails to install on ext3 [16:02] MachinTrucChose: and hamachi's linux version works like that, it's not a question of GUI or CLI. [16:02] photon_: well it gets esotherical by now [16:02] remoteCTRL, well... [16:02] how unstable are hardy-backports and proposed? [16:02] photon_: !!!???? [16:02] MachinTrucChose: blame hamachi for producing a program that's not standard on both linux and windows versions [16:02] I will try later, food [16:02] photon_: Dragan91 that's simply not true [16:02] thx for helping remoteCTRL ! [16:02] photon is there any difrence between ext2 and 3 when OS is installed on it? [16:02] cypr1nus: more stable than intrepid [16:02] remoteCTRL: i'm looking for the #abit help channel. An overclocker channel would do as well. [16:02] Dragan91: use ext3 [16:02] erUSUL: not nice. I will upgrade to Gutsy in some days/weeks, but they provide packages only for Hardy. Maybe I'll try to check it by --no-act or something like this, if it is possible. [16:03] photon_: well i tried... [16:03] see ya guys [16:03] erUSUL is there difrence between ext2-3 when OS is on it? [16:03] elexodus: have a try in #hardware [16:03] Dragan91: journaling. ext3 has it, ext2 doesn't. it means that you can go through a power cut without having to run a disk check [16:03] Dragan91: ext3 is journaled ext2 is not. ext2 is older [16:03] so its same like NTFS compared to FAT32 [16:03] ? [16:04] Dragan91, use 3 it is (A) the default (B) a journal based system i.e. better recovery if you power off (usually) [16:04] hellow [16:04] hi all, on a recent install of ubuntu 8.04 with an x1600 graphics card, xvideo output is not working [16:04] Dragan91: well ext2 is far better than fat32 [16:04] Dragan91: no, not such a stark difference [16:04] xvinfo reports no adapters found [16:04] is there a program like daemon tools for linux? [16:04] ElijahDuBarryVT: daemon tools [16:04] ElijahDuBarryVT: try acetone2iso [16:04] ElijahDuBarryVT, enlighten us what does that doe?

[16:07] remoteCTRL: No. The answer to my question is independent of that.

[16:37] but it still only use one of them [16:37] hmm, is there some trick to installing flash beta 10? i usually have no problem manually installing flash but can't get 10 to work [16:37] Aron_: how do you know that? [16:37] by using gnome-system-monitor [16:37] and the backport of 10 isn't really 10, it's still 9 [16:38] deph, I would try a plain reinstall of alsa-base first. [16:38] techsupport: ya sorry mate but i didn't rehearse that one, would you please repeat it? [16:38] while I start with the LiveCD,it shows two CPUs [16:38] Rhorse: Ok, but how exactly do I do that? [16:38] then if no good I'd try perhaps a purge and install [16:38] Aron_: what kernel do you have?

My name is Steve and I installed Ubuntu Linux Server Edition last night. I didn't have my router set up(new one) so I just decided to skip the part to set up internet and do it today. I can't figure out how to connect to the server to the internet now. The internet is working fine on my laptop right now. Other info - Dlink DIR-655 Router; Wired Connection -- Can anyone help? - Steve === transcendo_ is now known as transcendo [16:38] mcquaid, as far as i remember i just downloaded the .so file and put it in the appropriate directory [16:38] deph, sudo dpkg install alsa-base [16:38] could maybe someone tell me how a script would look like which makes me the folders "8bp001" to "8bp087"? [16:39] yes that's what i did anders_ then about:plugins reported i had no flash installed [16:39] Aron_: what does uname -a tell you [16:39] I've just created a truecrypt container file with fat as fs since this was the only fs the "wizard" offered. Can I now format it with ext2? and if - how do I do it? [16:39] Linux home 2.6.24-19-386 #1 Wed Aug 20 21:59:50 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [16:39] i then reinstalled 9 via apt. and pulled a switch of the so files to see if it would work that way but no go [16:39] how to play .rm files? [16:39] The-Compiler, you mean you want to rename that folder from "8bp001" to "8bp087"? [16:39] sudo dpkg --purge alsa-base [16:39] wow audacious reminds me of winamp on win95 heh [16:40] Aron_: what does uname -a say when you boot with livecd? [16:40] techsupport: humm not very selfexplanmatory that one... [16:40] StevenJosway, first make sure your router is working correctly. the easiest way to do this would be to set up the router with a computer with graphical interface. most routers are configured via a web browser (see your manual for specific instructions) [16:40] I didn't check that [16:40] unop: nope, that wouldn't be any problem :D I want to make dirs numerated from 8bp001 up to 8bp087 [16:40] remoteCTRL, yeah i got that error after i installed ntp [16:40] how can I recover my system if chrooting gives Segmentation fault? [16:40] The-Compiler, fresh directories, empty ones? [16:41] Rhorse: dependency problem: ubuntu-desktop depends on alsa-base [16:41] StevenJosway: most high speed internet access I know of binds to the mac address that was first connected to the connection. This means other devices cannot typically use it; to deal with this, router manufacturers allow a process called mac address cloning. That might be all you need to do. [16:41] The-Compiler: create a script that loops and does mkdir with a counter as 8bp$cntr [16:41] Aron_: can you check pls? [16:41] techsupport: try apt-get -f install and see if that fixes anything [16:41] just got the answer ;) mkdir `seq -f "8bp%03.0f" 1 87` worked [16:41] The-Compiler: great [16:41] it wan't to remove ubuntu-desktop? === nathan is now known as Guest26059 [16:42] OK,I'll reboot now [16:42] nnull: audacious is far better then any winamp version. [16:42] tell me the basic features in ubuntu [16:42] Rhorse: not any problems, its only a meta-packages [16:42] !meta | rhose [16:42] rhose: If you would like to help in #*ubuntu* but it just goes too fast to spot interesting questions, try joining #ubuntu-meta and watching for questions there (note that it is NOT a support channel, however, and questions should still be answered in #*ubuntu*) [16:42] oops sorry [16:42] ShinobiTeno¬ except it has no skins/visulisation plugins? right? [16:42] !metapackage | rhose [16:42] rhose: A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. [16:42] remoteCTRL, the error is gone after removing ntp [16:43] nnull: wrong. it has skins and visualisation. [16:43] ShinobiTeno¬ where!? [16:43] nnull rightclick->options [16:43] ShinobiTeno¬ make me love it [16:43] techsupport: a yeah sorry for that :D [16:43] nnull sorry not gay) === crash is now known as Guest49097 [16:43] ShinobiTeno¬ theres nothing there, and i installed every plugin i could find for it in synaptic [16:43] nnull wait a se [16:44] nnull sec [16:44] remoteCTRL, i'm trying to configure kerberos [16:44] Rhorse: The-Compiler: You lost me somewhere... alsa-base cannot be removed due to the dependency. Do you really want me to remove ubuntu-desktop now?? [16:44] remoteCTRL, do you know anything about that ? [16:44] techsupport: not really, sorry [16:44] StevenJosway: I think the easiest way is using /etc/network/interfaces - see http://pastebin.ca/1218993 for a copy of mine for reference [16:45] How can I determine what console driver my IBM Thinkpad T42 uses under Ubuntu 8.04.1? see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO-3.html Is it /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24/drivers/char/hvc_console.c? [16:45] deph, you *could* try a reinstall of dte *and* alsa. But you'd have to be comfortable with working in the console. [16:45] Hi there. When I start Ubuntu 7.04 it has no internet. I need to click the network icon and choose "wired connection" (only option). How do I fix this? [16:45] techsupport: kerberos is a three headed dog to set up.

[16:50] nnull no, but after you purge it in synaptic or apt-get, this command can help you locate the rests(if there are some)). Check your ~ folder btw) [16:50] thanks [16:50] <[zaf]-Coral> Hi guys..I would just like to know if it is possible to host a pppoe con on a bridged connection [16:50] techsupport: my opinion is that the best way to deal with kerberos is to sit down reading the documentation; if it's not something you can set up solo, don't use it. [16:51] aaron_ errr dead link, try http://yanbe.org/screencast4linux/screencast4linux-0.2.tar.gz [16:51] nnull aqualung is good too) but audacious is player only, no db) [16:51] how can i hide my ip in firefox [16:51] ShinobiTeno¬ doesnt seem too be anything for audacious in ~ [16:51] ill try locate [16:51] techsupport: I know that's a little harsh, but seriously. Kerberos is something that you need to know inside and out to use it. All its funny terminology about ticket granting tickets for the ticket granting server and whatnot, you really need to spend a few hours studying to get anywhere. [16:51] wesley_: only by using an anonymizing proxy [16:51] nnull before "locate", do "sudo updatedb" plz. [16:52] ShinobiTeno¬ what does that do tho? [16:52] <[zaf]-Coral> So that is ... PPPOE with brctl [16:52] nnull this updates indexis for "locate" [16:52] hi. i'm doing some research on security solutions for enterprise environments.

It's not for the faint of heart. [16:55] aaron_ is there a configure file in there? [16:55] techsupport: you might find it useful to download the source and compile everything by hand so you understand it all from beginning to end. [16:55] hello , i need a os with debian kernel that use minmum of ram ? [16:55] is there a way to manually install debs to a broken installation I can't even chroot into anymore? [16:55] what can I do now? [16:55] Aron_: install the smp kernel === spasticteapot__ is now known as spasticteapot [16:55] no there is not [16:56] Aron_: use synaptic to select the SMP kernel and select install [16:56] karna: best thing to do is build one. I'd install debian, if I were you, then slowly strip out unecessary binaries. Or even better, see if you can wedge in busybox and then remove _everything_ else. [16:56] aaron_ yet still you need to mak first then mak install [16:56] jamesish, i can ping orudie.command.center just fine, then edited krb5.conf by example of the page i showed you, and get error when trying to kinit [16:56] ok make is giving me an error [16:56] Where would I go to find the ID number of my sound card?

[16:57] skurakai1, alien is not something you want to use unles you are willing to break your system.. [16:58] techsupport: it's all in the documentation. Seriously, I understand the frustration with finding someone who can help who won't, but I won't be doing you any real favours if I do. You need to accept that something's wrong, that it's probably configuration, and research it. kerberos is too damn fussy to not understand how to research it every step of the way.

[17:04] * nnull has 10,000 of ShinobiTeno's babies [17:04] <[T]ank> hey folks, I have been on the 32 bit version of ubuntu for a while and have had my scanner working with no problem. now that i have upgraded computers and have gone 64 bit, when trying to connect to my hp psc 2110 i get the message, "failed to open device 'hpaio:/net/PSC_2100_series?ip=192.168.1.20': Device busy. any ideas? [17:04] nnull =)) [17:05] [T]ank, nobody in their right mind goes 64-bit [17:05] following these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/Kerberos made my krb5.conf according to example , here is what mine looks like http://pastebin.com/m53271937 , and i get error when trying 'kinit Administrator@ORUDIE.COMMAND.CENTER' Cannot resolve network address for KDC in realm orudie.command.center while getting initial credentials [17:05] Zmax: sudo apt-get install python2.4-gtk2 [17:05] Ever. [17:05] photon_: lol [17:05] <[T]ank> photon_: but yet they still develop and distribute it [17:05] remoteCTRL: apt-get selects python-gtk2 instead of python2.4-gtk2 [17:05] yes, and nobody needs it and nobody makes drivers for it :) [17:05] odd that synaptic doesnt install it properly tho [17:05] Zmax: then that is your weapon of choice [17:05] [T]ank: everyone whoues 64 bit is on the server end [17:06] do the quantity of spaces matter in the fstab file? [17:06] remoteCTRL: what? [17:06] photon_: so i must be completely outa my mind:P [17:06] remoteCTRL, like I was when I installed XP64 and Ubuntu 64... [17:06] :) [17:06] Zmax: if you want to install that and ubuntu takes the other version instead that means that is perfectly fine [17:06] bariga depends,))) 4GB spaces fstab is sure not good) [17:06] bariga: no, one is enough [17:06] OK,it shows two CPUs now :) [17:06] remoteCTRL, Xfree or Xorg drivers for ati radeon 9250? but it seems they are RPM file what do you advise? [17:06] [T]ank: too much hastle for 64-bit since everything is compiler for 32 by default [17:06] a dumb server box with a harddisk, fine, go 64-bit and earn 4% speed :) [17:06] Aron_: great [17:07] one more question [17:07] <[T]ank> when does 8.10 release? [17:07] [T]ank: oct 31 [17:07] and is there any way you can know what letter (sda1 for example) is what drive ? [17:07] for anything else, either go 32-bit and save yourself a week of time, or take driver devs hostage and make them dev drivers :) [17:07] Aron_: thats 2 dollars more [17:07] My graphic card is Geforce 8500GT [17:07] [T]ank, end of this month [17:07] oh [17:07] <[T]ank> i will just wait till then and change it [17:07] cause i'm having trouble with mounting an ntfs filesystem [17:07] :) [17:07] remoteCTRL: not so perfect, then [17:07] and I need to know how to find a driver for it [17:07] bariga: sudo fddisk -l should tell all [17:07] My system is up to date! [17:08] wee, now to get python :) [17:08] <[T]ank> so... flaming aside, is the reason this is not working because of the support for 64bit printer driver? [17:08] thx outbackwifi [17:08] komputes: ping [17:08] Aron_: apt-get install envyng-gtk - the app is called Envy, it will install the diver [17:08] are you ppl aware, that you can use up to 64GB RAM in 32bit mode?! Check PAE option, you need to recompile kernel though) [17:08] hm! btw, is there an alternative mouse config program? I can find no decent settings. [17:08] deph: pong [17:08] komputes: can we talk in private? [17:08] I am using my laptop touchpad, which is easy to configure in Vista. [17:08] ShinobiTeno, PAE is garbage [17:09] I mean sens and acc now :) [17:09] Zmax: what is actually the problem, why do you insist in the version number? [17:09] Dougy[Work], i dont think so) [17:09] ShinobiTeno, I od. [17:09] do* [17:09] I've just upgraded from postgresql 8.2 to postgresql 8.3, but the postgresql-8.2 entry still shows up in services-admin, and there's no sign of 8.3. what [17:09] When im configuring my internet connection do i want the area titled "network" to be what i put in the address bar to login to my router? [17:09] what's going on? [17:09] Dougy[Work] omg, kk=) [17:09] ShinobiTeno, there is no benefit to using PAE. Just go to 64 bit. [17:09] when i press alt+ctrl+bksp, is the x sever restarted? [17:09] Performance increase and you're not "hacking" the hardware [17:09] Dougy[Work], ShinobiTeno: well, substantiate the respective opinions or avoid giving them [17:09] LjL, I did [17:10] PAE is just a hardware "hack" [17:10] Dougy[Work], perfomance decrease in 32bit code for 15-20% when running 64bit mode. [17:10] So then compile it yourself. [17:10] Or use 64 bit software. [17:10] Dougy[Work] PAE is not a hack, but a feature, installed since Pentium2 in CPU. [17:10] ShinobiTeno, it is a hack. [17:10] remoteCTRL: I am compiling a package, the configure says "checking for pygtk 2.8.0 installed for python 2.4... not found" so I need pygtk2 of that version [17:11] Dougy[Work]: i guess it's not so different from the paged memory that 8-bit processors always used to have. it's not ideal, but unfortunately, 64-bit Ubuntu poses problems of its own. [17:11] Dougy[Work], check wiki my friend. [17:11] Dougy[Work] PAE extends IP to 36bits, no hacking. [17:11] LjL: Was not speaking specifically to Ubuntu [17:11] I was speaking in general [17:11] I've never used 64 bit Ubuntu, so I could not tell you [17:11] scunizi: Back to the sound card ID number: Would it be the 8-digit letter/number combination listed right after the device name? [17:12] Dougy[Work]: well, this is the Ubuntu channel though, and there *are* benefits using the 32-bit edition over the 64-bit one [17:12] LjL: yes, but just because we're in #ubuntu does not mean it's Ubuntu specific. He didn't say it was. [17:12] #ubuntu-mobile [17:12] Zmax: as far as i understand you need 2.8 then instead of 2.4 right? [17:13] how to search for a channel on irc? [17:13] matteo_: /msg alis help [17:13] Dougy[Work] I sayd Intel did PAE since P2, and ppl beg to 64bit to get that 3+Gb ram working... no need for 64bit. [17:13] j/#AigoMID [17:13] matteo_ depends on your IRC client, I think [17:13] RickZilla: not really, depends on the IRC server rather [17:14] LjL: Thanks for the clarification [17:14] aaron_ did it work? [17:14] So ppl that have 3+Gb RAM can use it with 32bit mode software. [17:14] the make ran ok [17:14] the make install ran ok [17:14] aaron_: and is it working? [17:14] so how to I run the screencast [17:15] :D [17:15] aaron_: run the binary [17:15] aaron_: is there a readme file in the folder? [17:15] anyone here use xmms/2 ?

[17:23] !audio [17:23] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [17:23] im using pulse audio, but i noticed when i was using ALSA my 5.1 surround works :O [17:23] Why isn't nfs in services? === Wotanskrieger is now known as Wotanskrieger[au === Wotanskrieger[au is now known as Wotansk [17:24] outbackwifi: how do you connect to NFS share through place?

[17:24] *places [17:24] johnfg: service is in redhat/fedora [17:24] johnfg¬ in linux there are very very few times u should need to "reboot" ure pc [17:24] johnfg: no 'service x x' here :) [17:24] is there an app that allows proper mouse settings, i.e. no acceleration at all? [17:24] hey does anyone know how to change the length that the tty terms can scroll back [17:24] outbackwifi: So, how do I start nfs? [17:24] johnfg: in debian based distros you use /etc/init.d/daemonname === Wotansk is now known as Wotan[auei] [17:25] tty terms being the ones that you get to with ctl-alt f1 or so [17:25] outbackwifi: lolz all this time i was looking for fddisk while it just was fdisk :p [17:25] outbackwifi: You answered before I even asked! What a guy! [17:25] bariga: my bad [17:25] * outbackwifi is perceptive [17:25] johnfg: it will start at system bootup, and now (after installation) it should be started too [17:25] using Ubuntu with mouse accel is a much lesser experience than other OSes [17:25] outbackwifi: no problem and thanks by the way :) [17:25] :( [17:25] outbackwifi¬ if he just installed hardy, it should of autodetected the drive anyway? has for me on various ubuntu/xubuntu installations [17:26] johnfg: btw, sudo /etc/init.d/SERVICE start is the way [17:26] where is sound icon in ubunto [17:26] nnull: a quick ps -fe |gre nfs shouldve told him that [17:26] outbackwifi¬ indeed [17:26] Tim1_, , top right in the bar.

[17:27] johnfg: nfs != samba [17:28] outbackwifi: Of course, but I'm just saying that the nfs option for sharing didn't show up. [17:28] can someone help me with this , ipod-convenience: [17:28] Depends: sshfs but it is not installable [17:28] outbackwifi: how do you mount nfs through places? i can't find any NFS opption in connect to server dialog! [17:28] is it just me or is nfs surprisingly faster than samba? [17:28] outbackwifi, how would you phrase such a question as his then? ;) [17:29] photon_: how do i adjust sound in ubuntu, for a start [17:29] how do I unninstall wine for example? and find the 0.9.46 version to download? :) [17:29] Ali_ix¬ lol, since when is a hard drive a server to connect to :D [17:29] I read somewhere that it makes games runs WAY smoother :D [17:29] outbackwifi: doubleclick speaker icon in top right [17:29] photon_: there [17:29] komputes: thank you [17:30] omg i've pressed alt+# and my window zoomed in real close [17:30] sigh, this ubuntu is so confusing....

[17:47] outbackwifi, yes [17:47] i also got my mum to use ubuntu on her eee pc instead of xandros. she really didn't like xandros...and she seems much more pleased now [17:47] orogor: no default setting afaik [17:47] juro_: doesnt happen by default; we use /etc/init.d/service start ec [17:47] orogor: check current rules by sudo iptables -L [17:47] LjL: Well, I was just curious as to why a not-very-graphical-intensive game was lagging on normal detail, and it had nothing to do with my CPU or RAM [17:48] Anyone know how to allow alt+drag to move windows above the taskbar? It doesnt work when compiz is on [17:48] outbackwifi, I know it doesn't happen by default, that is why I want to install it ... [17:48] outbackwifi, obviously it isn't a package on its own, therefore I need the name of the package it is in. [17:48] LjL: It was running natively too. [17:48] YaManicKill: cool :) [17:48] hi [17:48] Ali_ix, seems empty [17:48] KillGuta: you should first cd into the directory that you untarred wine source; then type ./configure (thats dot slash) [17:48] photon_, does acceleration not work properly for ya?

See, I don't even have the -a argument listed in my mmanpage, not either the access control section :S [17:49] Ali_ix, but on the default install ..

[18:11] i am able to pay dvd movie... [18:11] Indoctrine: err, « grep "\<[A-Za-z].*" file » is an example, and it says that it will "search for any word which begins with a letter upper or lower case" [18:11] <[Solaris]> !blueray [18:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about blueray [18:12] LjL: Well, it's a pretty useless example if you want to know if something's working. [18:12] Tim1_: fire up a terminal, type alsamixer, move all sliders to max [18:12] Tim1_: and please say Ubuntu or Xubuntu [18:12] can anybody tell me how i can connect my nokia via data cable and ObexFTP [18:12] sudo alsamixer? :outback [18:13] when i go alsamixer, i get alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [18:13] Tim1_: not sudo just normal [18:13] Indoctrine, if you want to know if WHAT is working? i can't GUESS what you want to do if you don't say [18:13] then again it says i have no sound [18:13] Indoctrine, what are you trying to do .... be specific [18:13] WDC: does your lspci show a sound card? [18:13] LjL: Well, I'm just mucking about with it. But the example that is given does nothing on my computer. [18:13] Indoctrine: of course you can CHECK if it's working, you just have to provide a file called "file" containing - or not containing, words that begin with lower or upper case letters, and see if it outputs them or not [18:13] After all of that...still not getting any sound out of my Soundblaster Live card....going on 4 hours, got to try something else!

[18:15] outbackwifi: Can you help? [18:16] LjL: How do I tell it NOT to include HTML files? [18:16] Indoctrine: because, of course, it searched in all files in the current directory (since that's what an asterisk means in bash), and you probably had a lot of HTML there. [18:16] comment activer la commende 3d [18:16] Indoctrine, that's not grep that you should tell, it's bash. grep only searches within the files that *you* tell him to search (in the example, a file named "file") [18:16] !fr | cheva [18:16] cheva: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

I think our password may have been leaked I am using ubuntu server 8 [18:17] mysql [18:17] ompaul: I'll try it [18:17] Indoctrine: if you want to just see if it works, why don't you create ONE text file, add stuff to it, and then test with THAT file? [18:17] freezone: mysqladmin password [18:17] outbackwifi: I'll see thanks [18:17] ompaul: That didn't work. [18:17] ompaul: he's grepping inside files, not for filenames [18:17] LjL, missed that [18:17] Indoctrine: you need to add a -f to look inside files [18:17] LjL: I have a ready made directory full of stuff.

[18:20] does anybody know how to configure orca [18:20] Indoctrine: you dont have to pipe one grep into another [18:20] outback: increase the settings for master to lef to 100? [18:20] pacyang: uhm, no, not with sort... perhaps with msort [18:20] Oh. [18:20] Tim1_: yes [18:20] Indoctrine, you only pipe if you want to do something additional [18:21] ok thanks ;) [18:21] can orca read out loud my email from evolution [18:21] orogor: afaik, there is no gui for apparmor, and i am not much into its rules/configs [18:21] what's the differences between rm -r and rm -rf? [18:21] ompaul: Oh, well. I just typed out what you guys said with your | :P [18:21] outback: in the settings manager....it has 2 choices.........intel hda or default....my mbo is intel integrated motherboard [18:21] Photon_: after folding it down how do you even use it [18:21] anyone know what is console command for chaning display resolution?

Thanks. [18:21] in settings manager-> sound [18:21] open it up again [18:21] ? [18:21] Tim1_: use intel hda [18:21] Indoctrine, you now have to do the hard work and use it for 15 minutes any way you can think [18:21] duh [18:21] Anyone having problems with the ubuntu repositories? [18:22] Indoctrine, err, you do realize you're grepping *binary* files? [18:22] i picked that up : outback [18:22] sugi: The f switch adds the behavior of forcing yes to all prompts. [18:22] ompaul: With pleasure. o_O [18:22] Dragan91: I would like to know that too, except for the xorg.conf. you know about that right? [18:22] i pluged in my speaker to line out:outback [18:22] LjL: And what's that meant to mean? [18:22] bobertdos: thanks [18:22] Indoctrine: it's meant to mean that grep doesn't have a clue what a .doc file is, it can only do meaningful searches within TEXT files [18:22] plain text. ASCII, letters [18:22] Tim1_: ok [18:23] LjL: Well, it tends to get results for strings within the file alright [18:23] Indoctrine, text is like source code, i.e. not formatted [18:23] Hi People! I need your help...I want to use unison to synchronize to folders, both on NTFS disk, the one is on an internal HDD and the other on on my USB disk that I plug in...The problem is the usb disk mounts with only permission for me and the hdd folder has permissions for everyone....How do I change the permissions that the usb disk mounts with? [18:23] anyone know editor application like editra ? [18:23] Indoctrine: most likely, since a .doc does contain the uncompressed text, but you can't really rely on that [18:23] LjL: Well, it's still useful, is it not? [18:23] i got some stuff in my trash can that won't get remove manual through the GUI, it says i don't have the premission. how would i rm those items from the crash can? sudo rm -rf ///:trash doesn't work [18:24] it is possible to use 2 xvodoo 2 card in sli with ubuntu 8.04 [18:24] Indoctrine: if it's not something you need to actually rely upon [18:24] !trash > sugi [18:24] sugi, please see my private message [18:24] !trash | sugi [18:24] sugi: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [18:24] Guinnesss: i would chmod all the files on the USB to be world readable/writable [18:24] Indoctrine, not really, if you hit the wrong thing, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_file [18:24] surabaya [18:24] Indoctrine, then search the same utility for ascii [18:24] Indoctrine: use the google desktop to look into doc files etc [18:25] Indoctrine: anyway, that only works for .doc because it's a pretty stupid format (not even compressed), but it won't work at all with, for example, .tar.gz or .zip files, or for that matter OpenOffice .odt documents [18:25] outbackwifi: that would work, but NTFS doesnt remember the permissions does it? Will I have to do that everytime manually? [18:25] thanks [18:25] LjL: Well, I wasn't expecting it to [18:25] Guinnesss: nope [18:25] How do I update my iPod through ubuntu? [18:25] outbackwifi...Ok, I'm gonne try that. [18:25] mavsman4457: gtkpod [18:25] A call to apt-get update is returning 403, any ideas? [18:26] mavsman4457: Try amarok.

[18:27] Symmetria-> am curious as to how is your setup like? you got it working? [18:27] FFEMTcJ: you use iptables to redirect all connections to port 80 to go to squid at say port 3128 [18:28] i am going to see this alert on every boot. just because the battrey ran out [18:28] !enter | mavsman4457 [18:28] mavsman4457: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[18:28] FFEMTcJ: google for "squid as transparent proxy" [18:28] outbackwifi: i set up that iptabled on the box with squid on it correct? [18:28] outbackwifi: i have that setup.. im trying to figure out why it isnt working [18:28] and it boots slow now [18:28] amenado just added another device and another monitor to the xorg.conf [18:28] Ob1Kn001: yw [18:28] takes forever [18:28] hallo there… have anyone encountered troubles with recieving typing notifications from icq contacts in Pidgin? [18:28] LjL: The only problem I've found with it is with searching for the letter "q" and "x" at the beginning of words gives me all documents whereas I'll get less results for end of words [18:28] mavsman4457: check preferred applications under prefrences or control center [18:28] can someone recommend another linux that is more compatible with laptops?

[18:29] outbackwifi: the only logs i find dont have anything.. here is my iptables for that.. http://slexy.org/view/s21MzHFxei [18:29] mark1: open up a terminal and type alsamixer. push all the sliders to max [18:29] hallo there… have anyone encountered troubles with recieving typing notifications from icq contacts in Pidgin?

I would like to install Xubuntu but I have a Hardy alternate CD handy - any way to install Xubuntu directly from that CD? [18:37] and i cannot see "new distro" in update-manager [18:37] outbackwifi, /etc/init.d/ntp restart didnt return any output, is that normal ? [18:37] FFEMTcJ: you need to launch squid with -N to keep it in foreground [18:37] what should i do [18:37] techsupport: yes [18:37] I'd like to avoid downloading another iso if possible [18:37] leslieviljoen: xubuntu (xfce) isn't included in ubuntu cd's [18:37] aw [18:38] leslieviljoen: eider you should get xubuntu cd or install xfce after installing ubuntu [18:38] *either :} [18:38] outbackwifi: ok.. i did that and it doesnt seem to be doing anything [18:38] Astral_Projectio: go to #ubuntu+1 [18:38] FFEMTcJ: did you kill the instance that you already started? [18:39] ya [18:39] Ali_ix: ah thanks, to minimise downloads I guess I'll install Ubuntu first [18:39] outbackwifi: i did /etc/init.d/squid stop [18:39] I still have no sound [18:39] Do I have to do a complete reinstall? [18:40] FFEMTcJ: that wouldnt have stopped the one you launched from terminal [18:40] FFEMTcJ: do a killall -9 squid [18:40] leslieviljoen: there is an option to install 'xubuntu-desktop' package in synaptics, that ill take care of all xubuntu specific packages [18:40] Ali_ix: I started an install already, with boot: install task=xfce-desktop [18:40] FFEMTcJ: and look here to debug squid --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=662393 [18:40] I have everything alsa except the players and all the pulse stuff installed [18:40] oops [18:40] Ali_ix: I saw there was a "task=kde-desktop" [18:40] FFEMTcJ: http://www.visolve.com/squid/squid30/logs.php [18:41] leslieviljoen: lol, if it is dvd it should work :) [18:41] Ali_ix: no such luck! [18:41] outbackwifi: i did kill -9 squid and got this: bash: kill: squid: arguments must be process or job IDs [18:41] uhhhhh [18:41] ill take a look at those sites [18:41] i just tried this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto#Undetected Monitor Specs [18:41] Hello people, How Can I dump edid.bin using "nv" driver ? [18:41] FFEMTcJ: killall [18:41] by recomendation from people here [18:41] and now i only have 800x600 [18:42] even after i replaced my xorg.conf from backup [18:42] how can i convert shoutcast ( http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=524 ) links to actual shoutcast ip links? [18:42] what other place is ubuntu getting its resolution settings from other than xorg.conf. [18:42] outbackwifi: ok.. the first linkk you sent i assume was wrong? [18:42] FFEMTcJ: yes :O [18:43] heh [18:43] AH. The bloody front volume control was off [18:43] outback sound is fine now [18:43] Tim1_: great ; now can you say xubuntu please? [18:43] Okay. Next question. Do I need gstreamer plugins with xine and xmms2? [18:43] nnull: that link plays french techno in totem [18:43] quaal: you may experiencing driver issues [18:43] outback i am runing a variation of ubunto called Xubunto hardy heron [18:44] Tim1_: please replace the 'o' with 'u' at the end [18:44] sorry ok [18:44] Tim1_: i will lose a bet otherwise [18:44] yea outbackwifi , some reason audacious doesnt like it :F [18:44] lol ok bookmakers are bankrupt anyways:outback [18:45] Tim1_: lol [18:45] nnull: thats pretty audacious! [18:45] there is a run on banks besides that [18:45] outbackwifi: all that page does is explains what the log is for and what its arguments are? [18:46] ok, fuggit. [18:46] how do i adjust the monitor settings for ubunto [18:46] FFEMTcJ: so change the log level settings in your squid.conf to debug [18:46] I give up and slash my wrists. [18:46] Tim1_: not again; ubunt'u' please [18:46] another day when I have a cistern of patience for linux [18:46] bye. [18:46] ok [18:46] mark76: Well, Xine has its own codecs from which it draws. I believe xmms2 uses gstreamer, but I am not sure. I usually have both sets installed to cover anything that may come up. [18:46] Hiya all [18:47] How do I force other users to log out? [18:47] Are there different kinds of Update Managers? And if so which is the best one? [18:47] Tim1_: System--> preferences--> screen resolution [18:47] lain_wired: are they on the same machine> [18:47] lain_wired: sudo killall -u USERNAME [18:47] yup [18:47] What about Alsa? Does Pulse make it redundant Bobertdos? [18:47] ah okay [18:47] Ali_ix, thanks [18:47] mark76: pulseaudio and alsa are not similar [18:47] lain_wired: welcome :) [18:48] see i have this lovely issue. alsa does not do its magic on startup. [18:48] mark76: pulseaudio makes esd redundant [18:48] is there any terminal editor for monitor like alsa for sound [18:48] mark76: No, because actually, Pulse is an extension of Alsa. The former sits inside the latter. [18:48] could someone please tell me what controls the available resolutions in the screen resolution dialog box in gnome [18:48] outbackwifi: ok.. i changed the debug options.. now start it regularly and see what it says? [18:48] FFEMTcJ: sure === Bascule is now known as bascule [18:48] Okay [18:48] FFEMTcJ: you should check where you asked errors to be logged [18:49] if i understand it correctly it was cache.log [18:49] mark76: At least that's how it is now. I have a feeling that may change in future releases, but time will tell. [18:50] anyone use streamtuner? [18:50] outbackwifi: holy crap thats alot of new stuff [18:50] nnull: yessir [18:50] nnull, i have in the past. Youmay want to ask the channel a more detailed question, :) [18:50] FFEMTcJ: ? [18:50] could someone please tell me what controls the available resolutions in the screen resolution dialog box in gnome [18:50] mark76: bobertdos: I liked this article on pulse http://www.linux.com/feature/119926 [18:50] quaal: nvidia?

[18:51] FFEMTcJ: you can chose to reduce it [18:51] BRB [18:51] outbackwifi: so how do i go through all this to find the problem? [18:52] What the4 heck is the "front" volume control for, anyway? [18:52] ok, has anyone got shoutcast retreval* on streamtuner working? :P [18:52] FFEMTcJ: you need to first find out if your requests to port 80 are getting redirected to squid, [18:52] because when i tried it i could get all but shoutcasts working [18:52] Hi guys! [18:52] wha is the room for digital unix ? [18:52] i just updated to intrepid [18:53] I have an nvidia card (nvidia glx was enabled) but I've lost it. [18:53] outbackwifi: if i put into my browser the proxy settings to be :80... i know it works... [18:53] as a matter of fact, X didn't want to start [18:53] vikku: is that still around?? [18:53] outbackwifi: but if i dont put it in my browser, it doesnt [18:53] FFEMTcJ: thats not correct [18:53] nnull, i think i have in the past.. but not tried it lately [18:53] I had to manually edit xorg.conf to set vesa as the driver [18:53] can ubunto be client in ms network ....using samba......windows workstations can be clients in ubuntu running samba [18:53] !intrepid > antoranz [18:53] antoranz, please see my private message [18:53] dr_willis, i've tried replacing my xorg.conf with about 5 different backups. after following this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto#Undetected%20Monitor%20Specs which was recommended here. after i did that it popped up a configuration window after restarting X telling me it was running in minimal resolution mode of which it is still stuck in now 800x600 after trying to restore my xorg.conf several times from [18:53] several backups. it is apparent that xorg.conf does not control the screen resolutions available in the screen resolution dialog box in gnome. [18:53] FFEMTcJ: you should be going to squid on some other port [18:54] Tim1_, Linux machines can access windows 'shares' yes... [18:54] Gkrellm is underrated :) [18:54] dr_willis¬ yea i think its broken and knowone fixed it ;< [18:54] ubottu: thanks. :-) [18:54] booted intrepid last night still doesnt support my capture card :( [18:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks. :-) [18:54] outbackwifi: it does.. it redirects 80 to 3128.. which should prove that the redirect does work [18:54] FFEMTcJ: port 80 --> port 3128 --> internet [18:54] dr willis: i have a ms network ...i want to attached ubuntu as a client there to access the internet [18:54] Hello, I am having problems with firefox. Everytime I open it, the notification area pops up with: Firefox-3.0 restart required, and the top of the window hides under the Gnome Panel. [18:54] FFEMTcJ: your iptables isnt doing that [18:54] How do i do raw socket programming in unbuntu? [18:55] outbackwifi: what is then? [18:55] it has to join the windows network group before it can access the internet [18:55] ? [18:55] Tim1_: setup ICS on Windows machine and set it as default gateway for linux machine [18:55] FFEMTcJ: do an iptables -F and then do the same thing again [18:55] FFEMTcJ: if it works then you know it isnt iptables [18:56] ali which windows machine........it is a peer to peer network [18:56] Have anyone tried BearShare 6.2 on ubuntu ? [18:56] Tim1_, thats not related to 'samba' thats internet connection shareing (ICS) feature of windows, or use a proxy. [18:56] dsl rounter is gateway to the interent [18:56] does anyone else know what controls the screen resolutions available in the screen resolution dialog box [18:56] internet [18:56] Tim1_: if dsl router is gateway, you dont need the Windoze machine in the middle [18:56] outbackwifi: :) yes it is [18:56] Tim1_: is linux machine connectted to dsl router? [18:57] vikku: wow [18:57] dsl---------->network hub----------> win workstations: ali [18:57] outbackwifi: its a issue with NFS lock [18:57] yes outback [18:57] outbackwifi: one of the process not releasing the lock [18:57] dsl is connected to hub though [18:57] Tim1_: why do you need to go thro windows machine [18:58] Tim1_: where is the linux machine? if it is connected to hub, no need to mess with windows machine [18:58] Tim1_: just specify the dsl router as the gateway in the linux machine and you're through [18:58] I did .configure and make on a source... now what [18:58] one dsl rounter supplying many connections to the win workstations through the network hub [18:58] it doesn't show installed and stuff [18:58] error while trying to install libncurses5 [18:58] KillGut1: typically make all [18:58] outbackwifi: i did the iptables -F and have proxy in FF set to :80 and its taking forever to try to load a site.. i tkink its gonna timeout [18:58] vikku: and.. [18:58] KillGut1: read the readme or INSTALL file [18:58] ubunto is connected to the hub: ali [18:58] outbackwifi: it seems to be a kernel issue though, but still if we could find out the process comitting it and to kill it if possible [18:58] KillGut1: you may need 'sudo make install' it! [18:58] ubuntu is connected to the hub [18:59] FFEMTcJ: then its going through iptables :P [18:59] how would i convert from ogg to mp3 [18:59] outbackwifi: isnt that what i said? [18:59] vikku: ps -fe [18:59] outbackwifi: the process doesnt show that way [18:59] FFEMTcJ: yes you did and now the next thing for you to find out is whether squid is accepting the connections [18:59] what is the krita equivalent in gnome? [19:00] danbh_intrepid: Have you done the things in that blog? In particular, did you ever try to configure that alsaconf file? [19:00] is there ANY linxu virus? :D [19:00] if i am directly connected to the dsl router i usually run ...sudo pppoeconf ....it works fine [19:00] anyone know if it's possible to run 2 X sessions with 3 monitors? [19:00] or can get hacked by getting the root password? [19:00] KillGut1, there have been 2 or 3 [19:00] ie: twinview on the dual head card and another session off a single card. [19:00] when iptables is intact.. if i manually put :port in FF.. the access.log showed the sites that i go to. [19:00] How do i program in root on unbuntu? [19:00] do i just plug into the nework hub...... [19:00] outbackwifi: so i'd say it is accepting connections [19:00] Tim1_: then the router isnt configured as such it is configured as a transparent bridge [19:00] outbackwifi: its basiclally a situation that porcess died for whatsoever reason (like NFS Client crash) but didnt release the lock [19:00] like in raw sockets programming? [19:00] Tim1_: just setup static ip address on ubuntu and enter dsl-router's ip as default GW (if it is not providing DHCP for automatic ip assing) [19:01] FFEMTcJ: did you enable transparent proxy in squid? [19:01] ? [19:01] router is setup for dhcp.....

[19:02] if my dsl is setup for dhcp.....do i have to enter dsl ip address in my ubuntu box [19:02] outbackwifi: up.. already tried that. that one is for versions prior to 2.6.. after 2.6 is uses different stuff [19:02] outbackwifi: you mean the file thats locked ? [19:02] MXIIA, really shouldnt post things with ftp logins lol [19:02] Tim1_: you need to check what your route -n says [19:03] yea, lol... w/e not an important account ;P [19:03] !lol | MXIIA [19:03] MXIIA: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis.

[19:37] i cant watch youtube videos, ive installed everything :( [19:38] amanulla: update gets the new package lists (so you know whats available), upgrade and dist-upgrade actually download/install the stuff [19:38] Jay whats the problem exactly? [19:38] can anyone tell me how to recompile my kernal from x84 to x64 in hardy? [19:38] amanulla: Update does lists, upgrade for packages [19:38] "Ali_ix" do you prefer png instead of openoffice?

[19:38] a line from my root crontab: 0 11 * * * init 0 [19:38] using linux terminal can i completely format hard disk even with mbr(boot loader)? [19:38] Amanulle Update means going to the date version, and Grade going to the newr version, if by any means the actual date version is a down version, an update would downversion,, a upgrade would always change toa new version, (new grade) [19:38] Thanks anyway [19:38] why wont't it run?

[19:42] paul68: you can set the time to daily and full backup times to "1" so it will take a full backup every day (i hope) [19:42] EvilDaemon: the problem is, I don't have Internet on my ubuntu machine, so I have to download them from windows and then copy them on a usb stick. [19:42] doing... wait a sec [19:42] c_korn: that might be getting overridden by gnome [19:42] Flannel: the end goal is setting up my sister's machine to turn of at 23:00 everyday [19:42] WaaW [19:42] Xd [19:42] amanulla: Sure.

Oh boy, your in for work. :p Yeah, downoad the compizwhatever.DEB and copy it. Google the dependancies, and find out if it NEEDS it or not. [19:44] Irishmanluke: don't use init, use shutdown. /usr/sbin/shutdown -h now (or whatever time offset you wanted to give) [19:44] outbackwifi: but it did not do that before. I run a apt-get purge -y libasound2 by accident and it already started to purge something.

Well, here's an example. ( http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/mail/archivemail ) It shows you the packages it depends on. Go get them, and download them too. Except not those, ou need to find the page for 'compiz settings manager' or whatever your are trying to locate. It's going to take a bit of work, mostly just waiting for the packages to download. [19:48] install inthe sense cant load [19:48] i mean [19:49] amanulla: I have no idea. Try again. It's a problem with your XP disk, or your system and the XP disk, or whatever.

[19:52] i used pppoe on pardus distro [19:52] IntuitiveNipple: not really [19:52] id like to know i got a Gigabyte EX38-DQ6 Mother Board, is it of for upgrading to 8.10 beta (network?) its a Realtek 8111C chip [19:52] but i cant use it on ubnuntu [19:52] Jay: it's easier to communicate if you prefix you message with the nick of the person you want to msg [19:52] homy: How about booting to the Live CD? [19:53] Jay: on a busy channel your message can get easily get lost [19:53] IntuitiveNipple: yes. But I don't want compizconfig-settings manager installed on live cd, but on my ubuntu pc [19:53] Ali_ix: i have eagle-chipset usb modem and i used pppoe on other distros [19:53] is there somewhere I can install ndis from pkgs? [19:53] aktas: if you used it with another linxu distro before, there is a good chance that it would work under ubuntu too. [19:53] how do i do that, srry im a noob [19:53] maek: its on the cd [19:53] what do i have to install for lftp to use ssl? openssl is installed but it doesnt work [19:53] ubuntu has it installed alread ybut [19:54] it uses eth [19:54] hi [19:54] IntuitiveNipple: is there some windows program like "download all .deb needed to install package xy"? Then I could copy them on a usb drive and to ubuntu pc [19:54] IntuitiveNipple: His computer doesn't have internet, he's sneakernetting it on a usb. [19:54] but i must use nas0 [19:54] Jay: start typing the nick of the person you intend to msg and press Tab it will autocomplete the nick for you [19:54] homy why dont you have an internet access on your linux box? [19:54] homy: If you had Ubuntu running you can also download all the required packages without installing them using "apt-get --download-only install " [19:54] Vincozo: Hey, need something? [19:54] lol [19:54] how to uninstall a python dependent program that is not in dpkg [19:54] Jay: see.... very good [19:54] danbh_intrepid: thanks. I was trying to install ndiswrapper not ndiswrapper-common [19:54] w_nicram, k [19:54] homy: Hmmm, sounds like you need someone else to get the list of packages for you [19:54] Jay: and easy to see you msg [19:54] amendo: there is no network connection in the room of that pc, and also no wlan. [19:54] w_nicram, is it going? [19:54] aktas: eth, sit or nas, no difference in the way you use it, just try pppo-config and ... [19:55] homy: what package do you want to install? and what version of Ubuntu is on the other PC? [19:55] Jay: so where are you on with flash.... is what going? [19:55] IntuitiveNipple: yes, that would work. (I can run a live cd on a computer that is in the internet). [19:55] hi! qucik question. I'm in a recovery prompt, how to I enable my eth0 so I can download a package and install? [19:55] !offline | homy, IntuitiveNipple [19:55] homy, IntuitiveNipple: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.byethost14.com/ [19:55] maek: you need both ndiswrapper-utils and ndiswrapper-common [19:55] w_nicram, man im loving ubuntu [19:55] homy would it take much for you to bring it to a room that has network connection? [19:55] thank you Ali_ix [19:55] IntuitiveNipple: compizconfig-settings-manager [19:55] i have installed Ubuntu 8.04 on a Pentium D computer, witch is dual core.

[19:57] ouh cool then greetings from turkey=) [19:57] samueldskbr, i'm out of suggestions [19:57] soz [19:57] Is there any kind of command that give me a fresh install ?

[19:59] elexodus-> you cant if you can not find it [19:59] brb [19:59] elexodus: You can't! [19:59] elexodus: first find it! is it under the desk? :) [20:00] you can do a lot without internet. I'm just having the problem with installing compizconfig-settings-manager. [20:00] Jay: ok [20:00] Ok,, Thanks for the help!! [20:00] Last question [20:00] IntuitiveNipple: you still there? [20:00] elexodus: But you can browse /media and look. [20:00] any command I should try I recover mode ??? [20:00] anyone built a thin client set top box running mythbuntu before? [20:00] amenado, EvilDaemon, Ali_ix: har har har. I can't find it in /dev/ [20:00] homy: On the Ubuntu PC, can you run this command to see what it *thinks* it needs? "sudo apt-get -d --reinstall install compizconfig-settings-manager" - this will tell you precisely which packages it needs to fetch, as opposed to what it has [20:00] try in recover mode prompt [20:00] elexodus: /media? [20:00] elexodus: plug it and taile the dmesg, that whould show up somewhere [20:00] If I exit in a minute then it worked [20:00] elexodus-> sudo fdisk -l is it listed? [20:01] elexodus: may be not as usual name s under /dev [20:01] EvilDaemon: nope. my phantom floppy is not there. [20:01] hi all, i have a problem. I have reinstalled ubuntu a couple of times. i had ubuntu earlier, but now whenever i finish the install i get a grub "error 15". is there any way i can clean the #$% boot record before i do yet another install? [20:01] can someone tell me why i have to reenter the wep password everytime i restart my ubuntu? ... shouldnt it be saved? [20:01] elexodus: plug and run in terminal: sudp dmesg | tail [20:01] can someone help me to figure out why my virtual drive isn't working as it should? [20:01] elxodus, if it's a USB floppy, wont it come up as a USB device? [20:02] the program that uses the virtual drive isn't detecting the "virtual CD" [20:02] IntuitiveNipple: and then I have to download those package .deb? ok. [20:02] pslboy_kadeem-> nope, put the entry into your /etc/network/interfaces file [20:02] amenado: sdb - [20:02] This doesn't look like a partition table [20:02] Probably you selected the wrong device. [20:02] homy: yes [20:03] homy: I think you will only need CCSM and python-compizconfig [20:03] elexodus-> come again? what was the exact command you typed? [20:03] amenado im sorry im a usual windows user, ubuntu is new. how do i do the entry thing [20:03] IntuitiveNipple: ok, I'll try that first. [20:03] the Wubi application makes Ubuntu load from a disk image from the ntldr. is it possible to load Windows from a disk image from GRUB? [20:03] Ali_ix: http://pastebin.com/m27514226 [20:03] with ndiswrapper and wpa, wpa2 etc etc is there a certain encryption scheme you have to use? [20:03] pslboy_kadeem-> start with man interfaces its the manual to explain what you need to put in that interfaces file [20:04] elexodus: regarding to dmesg output that should be /dev/sdb [20:04] amenado: http://pastebin.com/m5a4f5f17 [20:04] man interfaces? [20:04] Ali_ix: yopu lost me... [20:04] Hi evertone. [20:04] Are there two evildaemons in this channel? [20:04] pslboy_kadeem-> yes, type that in a command line or sometimes called terminal [20:04] Ali_ix: oh wait... [20:05] thank you amenado! [20:05] I am receiving the error "atkbd.c: Unknown key released (raw set 2, code 0xd5 on isa0060/serio0)." [20:05] huh, it didn't show up that way for me. weiiird. [20:05] EvilDaemon0, there are 2 of you [20:05] nichlas: if you will be re-installing things multiple time - then see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record and then try this: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/index.htm [20:05] EvilDaemon0: now, the first instance isn't logged out, you can kil the ghost using nickserv [20:05] Ali_ix: COOL. [20:05] elexodus-> where did you get that second drive sdb from? [20:05] elexodus: got it working? [20:06] amenado: that, i believe is the flopy [20:06] elexodus-> a floppy dont have that many partitions [20:06] Oct 4 15:06:33 danopia kernel: [333385.927581] VFS: busy inodes on changed media. [20:06] amenado: it isn't mounted... [20:06] i'm getting error Cannot resolve network address for KDC in realm ORUDIE.COMMAND.CENTER while getting initial credentials when trying to kinit Administrator@orudie.command.center [20:06] wow amenado, this looks complicated. why so hard... [20:06] over and over... woudl it have to do with me using removable SD cards in a reader? [20:07] pslboy_kadeem-> nah, its soft [20:07] amenado: yup, it is the floppy. [20:07] elexodus-> you sure you have your floppy connected to the right connector and controller? [20:07] There, better. [20:07] amenado: it's a USB. [20:07] What might the message "ata4.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen" repeating on a screen full of text as I try to shut down mean? [20:08] elexodus-> its a floppy usb? [20:08] alright in my /etc/crontab I have this: 8 15 * * * root /usr/sbin/shutdown -h now [20:08] amenado: yes [20:08] and it didn't work [20:08] sneex: actually, i would not be reinstalling multible times if it worked.. windows usually figure out the mbr when doing a clean install, but it seems like ubuntu does not. [20:08] danopia: That looks like you're unplugged a flash memory device without unmounting/ejecting it via software first. Also, you've possibly got some program that has its current directory set to the flash device. [20:08] elexodus-> then you may not have the correct driver for it, why use a usb floppy drive? [20:08] irc://irc.freenode.net/transmission [20:08] Ali_ix, amenado: I 'sudo mount /dev/sdb' and the floppy started to read, but just loops at that??? [20:09] hi ppl, have a few doubts about ssh tunnels, anyone can give a hand? === graham is now known as gray-- [20:09] sneex: i have tried all the different options for installing grub in during installation. [20:09] amenado: need to flash a bios [20:09] does anyone know if there is some sort of app that will allow me to stream my audio output from windows to ubuntu (don't have pulseaudio installed) [20:09] elexodus-> thats not a correct command, mount /dev/sdbX /mountpoint [20:09] nichlas: during the installation you can hit the commandline and just use fdisk -- that will smoke the mbr too [20:09] GT: something is attempting to access one of the devices attached to the ATA disk interface after it has been removed, it looks like [20:10] There's also a line that starts with cmd and has a whole lot of zeros after it, and something that says ata4.00: status: { DRDY } [20:10] nichlas: but i have kinstalled so many opsys that i just got the terabytes stuff and then no more fuss [20:10] elexodus-> where X is the partition number [20:10] elexodus: i haven't played with floppies in years, sorry [20:10] amenado: what partician? [20:11] Ali_ix: me neither. === ognen is now known as electronbender [20:11] EvilDaemon0: try /nickserv GHOST [password] and then change nick [20:12] i rebooted my pc to find the hdd has been restored to a state frmo 3 months before... how has this happened, and how do i restore it back? [20:12] can we discuss the beta for 8.10 in here? [20:12] hi everyone, i have a problem installing VirtualBox. This error is given to me : http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=20810 [20:12] nope [20:12] tenshinoneko: I think you want #ubuntu+1 [20:12] tenshinoneko: go to #ubuntu+1 [20:12] tenshinoneko: in #ubuntu+1 please [20:12] amenado: same thing. Just loops around trying to mount/read/whatever [20:12] Jesus [20:13] sneex: i was actually looking for some commandline thing that i could do before installing again. The challenge is to smoke the boot records but leave my partitions intact, at least on one of the two disks [20:13] PucKid: You should go look in #vbox [20:13] alright, thank you evilbug [20:13] something is wrong with my vimrc [20:13] * EvilDaemon [20:13] elexodus-> i doubt it if there is a driver for a usb floppy [20:13] even I add set nu the line number is not enabled in vim [20:13] ...bug? [20:14] nichlas: GRUB error 15 can uusally be corrected, if you have access to the GRUB boot menu, by changing the root (hd0,0) entry to match the actual installed disk/partition number [20:14] Hey [20:14] elexodus-> plug it in a floppy controller..much easier === EvilDaemon is now known as LaRoza [20:14] Now I cant install anything because of a erroe in Dpkg [20:15] error in dpkg [20:15] if I want ndiswrapper to load at boot I just place it in /etc/modules yes? [20:15] samueldskbr: what error? [20:15] nichlas: I dont think dd is available during system build, but a command you could try would be: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disk bs=512 count=1 (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) ) [20:15] IntuitiveNipple: so i should press a key to get into that menu? i am not sure if i have access to it. === fr500__ is now known as fr500 [20:15] i rebooted my pc to find the hdd has been restored to a state frmo 3 months before... how has this happened, and how do i restore it back? [20:15] my ubuntu is in portuguese, but I will try to translate to you fr500 , one second... [20:15] sneex: i am running the live distro now and have access to the drives [20:15] amenado: usb... [20:16] nichlas: that dd command I gave is dangerous :P [20:16] i am trying to install a tuner card, its a hauppauge, its loading the bttv driver, /dev/video0 is present but no tv app can get input from it [20:16] got the beta running now and after update synaptic is running too [20:16] nichlas: Error 15 can also be reported where GRUB can't find its menu. If you can determine which is the case, you can fix it either from the GRUB menu, or from a LiveCD boot [20:16] elexodus-> well good luck [20:16] sneex: as long as it hits the system disk, that is fine. i just want to keep my data disk === LaRoza is now known as Jeob45 [20:16] amenado: oh, that diskette was bad. I forgot how annoying these things were. [20:16] I have cloned my primary partition with partimage now attempting to restore. How should I set up my partitions for ubuntu [20:16] amenado: thanks for your help [20:17] amenado: it's working [20:17] it sayd /usr/bin/dpkg returned error code 1 [20:17] can anyone read me? [20:17] yes electronbender [20:17] it is not possible to create a list of updated files for the packet [20:17] Hey Guize === Jeob45 is now known as Joeb45 [20:17] nichlas: IntuitiveNipple said somethingm you should check first... [20:18] nichlas: does this system have more than 1 HD in it? [20:18] i cant install or uinstall any package because of some error in dpkg, it says /usr/bin/dpkg returned error code 1 , it is not possible to create a list of updated files for the packet [20:18] how can i get lftp with ssl support [20:18] ? === Joeb45 is now known as EvilDaemon [20:18] samueldskbr: try dpkg --configure -a [20:18] sneex: from what was said, I think 'yes' [20:19] lanoxx: scp? [20:19] got a question about xubuntu (or xfce). I want my super key to open the application menu on my panel. Pretty simple to do in gnome but for some reason Im having a hard time finding the option to change this in xubuntu. [20:19] IntuitiveNipple: :P heh :) [20:19] Does anyone know ? [20:19] lanoxx: lftp? try sftp, you need server side support [20:19] . im trying to do the wireless sync between the ubuntu and my ipod touch. i have to install ipod-conveincience from the synaptic package manager. when i try to do that i get this message, how do i solve this. ipod-convenience: [20:19] Depends: sshfs but it is not installable [20:19] I did it already but nothing heappens and the problem isnt resolved after that.. [20:19] elexodus-> the magic word was good luck eh? hehe [20:19] Ali_ix, i have server side support for sure and openssl is installed but i always get an error 522 or so [20:19] Fungusman：I want ask the same question too.. [20:20] : ) [20:20] IntuitiveNipple: it is a little weird and sometimes unepected when the HDs show in one order during nistallation then another order during boot up :P [20:20] lanoxx: sftp has nothing to do with openssl :) it is based on ssh [20:20] how to uninstall python dependent software that was installed manually? [20:20] samueldskbr: Are your mirrors up to date? [20:20] amenado do you know how to solve my question? [20:20] Ali_ix, i do not want ssH i want ssL [20:20] ftp over ssl [20:20] my version is 8.04 and there are uptades to be made, but I cant update anything!!

[20:21] pslboy_kadeem-> i dont own an ipod, so im not able to give good advise [20:21] lanoxx: no idea/never tried [20:21] samueldskbr: No, I mean, are you able to reload the mirrors either in Synaptic or by sudo apt-get update? === Jeob454 is now known as Joeb454 [20:21] okay, but how do i fix the sshfs installable problem [20:21] sneex: not too surprising when the BIOS used CD to boot, it'll sometimes change which device the BIOS then reports as 0x80 [20:22] pslboy_kadeem: try installing it via synaptic, it will give you better errors for troubleshooting [20:22] danbh_intrepid: After reading that article, it does seem like most of the Pulse bugs we see here are Ubuntu specific, don't you think? [20:22] ali_ix thats where i go. it doesnt help === trmanco_ is now known as trmanco [20:22] Ali_ix, i guess the packet ftp-ssl has to be installed : [20:22] :P [20:23] ipod-convenience: [20:23] Depends: sshfs but it is not installable [20:23] bobertdos: no idea. But I doubt ALL of them are just Ubuntu, since there were quite a few [20:23] why cant i install sshfs [20:23] pslboy_kadeem: sorry, no idea [20:23] darn, thanks for trying [20:23] has anyone seen this before: i rebooted my pc to find the hdd has been restored to a state from 3 months before... i'm talking logs, files, document, everything [20:23] electronbender: yes!!!! [20:23] electronbender: what file-system does the drive use? [20:23] apt-get update cant install the downloaded packges [20:23] electronbender: I have no idea what happened [20:23] consistency error [20:24] danbh_intrepid: yeah, I know. Hey, did you ever check to see if the repos have any of those packages those tutorials mention? [20:24] i think ext3 [20:24] electronbender: id just restore the data from backup [20:24] how do i restore to previous state?\ [20:24] Im using Kdevelop for my C++ programs, but can't find anywhere on how to compile them? [20:24] hello [20:24] electronbender: there is no such function (like rollback) in ext3 [20:24] i cant get flash to work === EvilDaemon is now known as Joeb454 [20:24] How bad for a Kingston 8GB pen drive would it be to install ubuntu onto it as a default install and run it routinely, 16 hours a day? How long would it last? [20:24] if i had a backup i wouldnt be here [20:24] electronbender: I have no idea I had a back up from the night before so it was ok [20:24] i have x64 [20:24] so how could this be happening if there is no rollback feature [20:24] electronbender: ext2undelete [20:24] electronbender: why dont you have a backup? is your data not imortant? [20:24] in ndiswrapper how do I make it survive a reboot? I did ndiswrapper -l and ndiswrapper -m after I installed my driver but when I reboot iwconfig shows nothing. [20:25] dave__: get nspluginwrapper and flashplugin-nonfree [20:25] electronbender: http://fedora.linuxsir.org/doc/ext2undelete/Ext2fs-Undeletion.html [20:25] ActionParsnip, i never got around to it [20:25] ActionParsnip: not the best time to argue this [20:25] dave__: How did you go about installing the plugin the first time? [20:25] So I accidentally deleted my fstab (don't use > when you mean >>). Does this look about right? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d240944eb [20:25] sneex: yes, it has two disks. One for system, with no important data right now, and another with data that should survive. The data disk has a single partition. [20:25] Ali_ix: i just dont get why people dont have backups straight off the bat, its mind boggling to me [20:26] ActionParsnip: me too :} [20:26] what is the mater with u over there [20:26] electronbender: Unless the ext3 had the option to journal data (not just the default metadata) then I can't see how it could return to a previous state. [20:27] I want TV guide on my desktop, wich software need I? [20:27] Joe_CoT: you just missed filesystem colum for third entry [20:27] Joe_CoT: here's mine: http://pastebin.com/f1323fe01 [20:27] Paal: mythTV?

[20:31] LadyBug, that's what I'm looking through right now, and I don't see it [20:31] jeeves__: I had one dual that showed up as a USB interface. The tuners were actually USB devices on a PCI card. [20:31] jeeves__: what is interface? pci? [20:32] Olwe: why did you download server if you are just going to install a desktop system?

[20:39] phuzion: run firefox in safemode and remove the plugin [20:39] ActionParsnip: better option "sudo adduser $USER group" [20:39] Ack My channel changed on me [20:39] soundray, http://pastebin.ca/1219198 [20:40] bobertdos, you mean in the command line? [20:40] phuzion: possibly there's a firefox process still running in the background. Do "ps -ef | grep firefox" to check. If so, you can stop it using "killall firefox" [20:40] soundray, sorry, it's a little crazy here in the house [20:40] IntuitiveNipple, Tried that with ps aux | grep firefox and killed everything [20:40] mikebot: http://ubuntuexperience.blogspot.com/2007/01/extract-audio-from-avi-or-mpg-file.html [20:40] Actionparsnip I need to do this restore on about 20 computers. It doesn't make sense to have to reinstall grub for every one of them... The point of the backup is to NOT have to give eacch of individual attention... I think I may have restored it wrong. I used partimage. [20:40] phuzion: Do as ActionParsnip suggested then [20:40] IntuitiveNipple: ""man sudoers" , section " NOPASSWD and PASSWD" is there a way to look at this file within gedit or use the "find word" within terminal? [20:40] declan: Yeah, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [20:41] I installed Ubuntu 5.04 because I had problems with Windows. I want to use Ubuntu 8.04, but I cannot install it with the iso I downloaded on the Ubuntu website. What is the easiest way to upgrade my computer to Ubuntu 8.04? [20:41] when I start up Heron, I'm getting extremely large text on the login screen.... [20:41] sugi: No, you must use the sudoedit because that ensures you don't mess up the sudoers file [20:41] IntuitiveNipple and ActionParsnip, do you invoke safemode with --safemode, or something else? [20:41] Luminerd__: ive not used that. Id check your software as it is clearly not backing up the boot sector which is why your BIOS cannot find an operating system [20:41] Luminerd__: well to that kind of job a clone of the entire hard drive (not of ne partition) is the best option [20:41] paal: What plugins do you have installed? Type about:plugins into firefox to find out. [20:41] IntuitiveNipple: i can't find the nopoasswd grrr [20:41] phuzion: -safe-mode [20:41] phuzion: firefox -safe (i think, try man firefox) [20:41] GodfatherofEire, whats your problem with Amarok? [20:41] sugi, it isn't ALREADY in the file. it's something that you need to *add* assuming you want to. [20:41] Luminerd__: look clonezilla it even claim to support remote clonning etc?? [20:42] soundray, well, we have adaptor0 and adaptor1, but I can't do anything with them [20:42] howdy, I am running Ubuntu 8.04, when I lock screen and leave my session running, and someone else uses the computer and does the same, I get a black screen upon entering my password. If the other person logs off, the whole system locks forcing me to manually reboot [20:42] sugi: "man sudoers" then press / (to search) then NOPASSWD and press Enter [20:42] LjLi only want to do a nopasswd for one bash file needed to run a game is that possibel [20:42] GodfatherofEir1, whats your problem with Amarok? [20:42] Geoffrey2: Do you mean your graphical login screen, or your terminal screen? [20:42] Erusul but partimage doesn't do that I don't think. I came here and was repeatedly told that systescue cd an partimage were the way to do this. [20:42] sugi: yes [20:42] jeeves__: at least then you know they are being recognized and a driver loaded. [20:42] sugi: Press / to do "find next" [20:42] IntuitiveNipple: done did it [20:43] DEdwards: not seen that one myself, mind you I never lock my session. are you fully up to date? [20:43] where do i get the deb packages for hydra? [20:43] Hello. One of the very few installation prompts that I haven't been able to get rid of on my preseed installation is the one that asks me if I want to clear LVM volumes. Any idea how I can get rid of that one? [20:43] hello [20:43] bodeli, the graphical log in screen... [20:43] IntuitiveNipple: i am unsure what this is trying to tell me [20:43] soundray, lol, true, now to see if I can configure the mythtv backend without hooking up the GUI [20:43] Anyone knows the package name for pygtkmozembed? [20:43] Luminerd__: check the config so the boot sector is archived [20:43] sugi: In which case you probably shouldn't be doing it :) [20:43] how to enable searching by first chars of file/folder in nautilus looks like that bottom box aint there anymore? [20:43] ActionParsnip, yes i am updated, and have had this problem since installing 8.04 [20:43] ShinobiTeno: Basically, the file transfer failed and now the files have been deleted [20:43] inad922: try tab completing the package name one letter at a time [20:44] I think I have Gnash :P [20:44] IntuitiveNipple: eeew i don't want to edit anything [20:44] DEdwards: sorry then man i gots no idea, you could log it as a bug [20:44] Luminerd__: i can not talk about other's advice... if you want a bootable hard disk linux clone you need not only the partition containing linux but the mbr with grub installed and swap at least so a clone of all the disk is a better option [20:44] IntuitiveNipple: i thought it was informational [20:44] Does anyone know how to extract the audio from a .flv? [20:44] GodfatherofEir1: do an offline filesystem check and retransfer... [20:44] I cant find it with apt-cache search so I dont think that works ActionParsnip [20:44] LjL: would you explain how i would go about doing this? [20:44] Geoffrey2: Okay, I was having trouble with the my tty's having a huge font when I went to them. Is it only on the login screen that the font is big? [20:44] mikebot: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=500351 [20:44] So, reboot and run fsck? [20:44] bobertdos, I did that. Now for bluej I have to give it the dir where jdk is...where would that be? [20:45] ActionParsnip, yeah, i guess, but i seem to be one of very few if any suffering this problem [20:45] I would like to know what is the easiest way to upgrade my Ubuntu 5.04 to Ubuntu 8.04? [20:45] sugi: The man-page is, but the information it gives you is how to make a change to allow a script/program to run as super-user without requiring password entry [20:45] luminerd: http://www.clonezilla.org/ [20:45] Did I miss something? Dced sorry [20:45] Colin21: don't even try [20:45] bodeli, yes, everything else is fine.... [20:45] What is the solution then? [20:45] Colin21, Reinstall [20:45] !upgrade | Colin21 [20:45] Colin21: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [20:45] I tried. [20:45] But I'm stuck at the loading screen [20:45] Colin21: 5.04 is long past it's end of life. Do a fresh install. [20:45] IntuitiveNipple: where would i add that tag though is what i don't get [20:45] I push enter to install but it does not respond. [20:45] I have Gnash flash player to Firefox [20:45] Colin21: you can upgrade but you must move up a release at a time [20:45] Colin21: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UpgradeFromOldVersion [20:46] Colin21: try a boot option [20:46] do a "mount -l" to find out on what disk that file was. If it was not rootfilesystem, do "sudo umount /dev/yourdevice" and "sudo fsck -f -C -v /dev/yourdevice" [20:46] !bootoptions | Colin21 [20:46] Colin21: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [20:46] ShinobiTeno: So you mean, reboot and run fsck? [20:46] i want to make a backup script on a remote host, but want to check if it's up before i start, how do i do that? [20:46] Erusul dude I already have like 8 hours into setting this up for partimage!! As per the repeated rexomendation of this room! [20:46] Geoffrey2: So, just your username and (hidden) password are in a large font when you type? And it bothers you? [20:46] Colin21: 5.04 --> 5.10 --> 6.06 (LTS) --> 8.04 (LTS) [20:46] declan: It depends on how deep you need to point, but it starts in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun [20:46] Colin21: id reinstall with hardy (or wait a few weeks for intrepid) then restore user data from backup [20:46] erUSUL, luminerd I didn't catch the beginning of the conversation. What about Clonezilla? I have some recent experience with it. [20:46] Colin21: noapic and nolapic are the ones you should try first [20:46] sugi: username ALL = NOPASSWD: commandname [20:46] You suggest me to upgrade to 6.06 then to 8.04? [20:46] Colin21: no [20:46] cilkay: Luminerd__ that's what i'm recomending [20:47] For what? [20:47] Colin21: you cannot upgrade 5.04 to 6.06 [20:47] hello ,newbie help please: I messed up my ubuntu 8 with pango cairo atk gtk while trying to install the latest versions of these, now I have all squares instead readable text everywhere , apt-get --reinstall = doesnt work [20:47] Colin21: you're using *hoary*? [20:47] What is hoary? [20:47] ActionParsnip: Thanks. [20:47] !5.04 | Colin21 [20:47] Colin21: Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) was the second release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 31, 2006. See !eol for more details. [20:47] Colin21: but i'm not sure if 5.10 repositories are still up and running [20:47] Paal: I would recommend purging that and using flashplugin-nonfree with libflashsupport instead. You could also try flash 10 RC2. [20:47] AL|EN: so cairodock is faulty? [20:47] !5.10 [20:47] Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) was the third release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 13, 2007. See !eol for more details. [20:47] erUSUL: no they aren't, you need old-releases.ubuntu.com [20:47] Ok. Hmmm, my question is not concerning 5.04 but 8.04 [20:48] I tried to install it. [20:48] ActionParsnip: even login screen [20:48] !eol [20:48] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [20:48] Colin21: did you get the factoid? [20:48] But I'm stuck at the first screen. [20:48] LjL: so 5.04 --> 5.10 --> 6.06 (LTS) --> 8.04 (LTS) is no go??

[20:49] I'm not quite a Linux noob, but I am an IRC noob. Is there a better channel to ask about disabling stack protection on Ubuntu? [20:49] erUSUL: not sure, perhaps the updater is smart enough to know it might have to look in old-releases (they could have pushed an update to that effect before moving the repositories), or there is always - cough - the dist-ugprade route. if i were him, though, i'd just install from scratch, wouldn't i [20:49] !language | luminerd [20:49] luminerd: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[20:49] LjL: yep [20:49] Paal: No, because it's still in development, so it's in Adobe's labs. First though, purge all gnash and any other flash packages you may have. [20:49] erUSUL, luminerd: If you're trying to do an auto installation, I've been working on the same thing recently. Clonezilla and FAI are the usual methods that you'll find but I don't like either. Preseeding is the "official" Debian/Ubuntu way and it works quite well. I have only a couple of things I need to address with it before I can declare victory.

(i thought when i installed ubuntu i partitioned rather than deleted windows, but i could be wrong.) in other words, how can i confirm that windows is or isn't installed on my computer? thanks! [20:50] Luminerd__: but the boot sector data to make that load is missing [20:51] is there an easy way to clone an install from a 15 gig hd to a 6 gig? i havent used more than 4 gigs total..

Now my external drive is not in /dev nor can gparted see it [20:53] is there a way to get my right-click button to have "open terminal" on it? [20:53] i deleted .wine [20:54] like KDE [20:54] Luminerd__: can you see it in sudo fdisk -l [20:54] just like I'd like to stop having to manually enter my network password every time I log on so my notebook can connect to the wireless router...sure, I can easily enter the password every time, but it's annoying.... [20:54] Actionparsnip: I can. [20:54] Flash 10 is installed :) tnx! [20:54] nickz327: how had you *installed* those programs that it detects? [20:54] Luminerd__: then the drive is fine which is good [20:55] thanks, usser, i'll try that [20:55] LOL wow now after that command gparted sees it [20:55] installed without synapic :-[ [20:55] have anyone synced music with their ipod touch or iphones with ubuntu? [20:55] Paal: Oh yeah, you're on 64-bit aren't you? [20:55] Thanks heh [20:55] is Flash 10 still in beta? [20:55] I am running 32bit [20:55] yes [20:55] Geoffrey2: yes [20:55] flash 10 is beta yet [20:55] sleepster: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96349 [20:55] Geoffrey2: RC2, actually [20:55] Geoffrey2, its a release candidate 2 [20:55] Hi, how can I see the logs of openssh? I get an error when I connect from a Windows laptop to a ubuntu server (Permission denied (publickey) ). However it first logs in and then I get this error [20:55] !who | jordon1980 [20:55] jordon1980: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [20:55] Geoffrey2: I understand that, I'm not trying to patronize you. I'm just trying to make sure I understand your problem. Have you tried going in to the login screen settings? (For me, I go to Applications -> Settings -> Login Window) From there I can pick different themes for the window. [20:56] Luminerd__: maybe it just needed to scan the bus [20:56] jordon1980: i'm sorry, but according to what i see, i don't think there is any Windows partition on that drive [20:56] sleepster: apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal [20:56] Luminerd__: i dont like gparted myself [20:56] quick question: where in the actual file system can i find my digital camera and what is on it in 8.04? dont see it in /dev or /media.... but its in there somewhere cuz fspot can find it [20:56] Are there any python package repositories like CPAN for perl?

[20:56] just be aware with Flash 10, some applications that require flash won't recognize Flash 10, they'll just tell you nothing is installed.... [20:56] Earthpig: that doesn't mean it's somewhere in the file system. it could very well be using the PTP protocol. [20:56] !ipod > pslboy_kadeem [20:56] pslboy_kadeem, please see my private message [20:57] thanks ActionParsnip [20:57] Earthpig: maybe the camera does not act as a usb storage device and f-spot uses libgphoto2 to access it?? [20:57] Earthpig, when you plug your camera run dmesg it should give you some clues as to what is the device name etc [20:57] personne ?

[20:57] Queen_Of_Spades: /join #ubuntu-fr [20:57] Queen_Of_Spades: this is english chat, head to french chat [20:57] Geoffrey2: That's somewhat true, although for most sites, that was actually an issue with how the beta was numbered. The latest RC is numbered so that doesn't happen anymore. [20:57] !appdb > Jay [20:57] Jay, please see my private message [20:57] Is there anyone who can help with ssh? [20:57] How quickly would my 8GB Kingston pen drive die if I ran a default install of Ubuntu 8.04 on it 16 hours a day? [20:57] ljl: ptp protocal...? my objective is to pull a video i took off of it... when i plug it in, fspot opens right up and lists it as "cannon bla bla bla" (its a cannon camera) [20:58] Floola is a good app for ipod/iphones [20:58] Is there any way to give gnome the ksnapshot utility as it's default printscreen button enabled screencap ap? [20:58] ActionParsnip: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ did not work either [20:58] Luminerd__, how is it not doing the trick what happens? [20:58] Queen_Of_Spades: Nous ne parlons pas le Francais. :) [20:58] Luminerd__: Imaging isn't the answer unless you have identical machines. Preseed installations via PXE, or some other boot method is the best approach I've found. [20:58] knoppix: you could run it 24 hours forever if you never accessed the disk once the system booted [20:58] Usser it says missing os and won't boot [20:58] !fr > Queen_Of_Spades [20:58] Queen_Of_Spades, please see my private message [20:58] ActionParsnip: still squares instead fonts [20:58] knoppix: its completely speculative [20:58] !fonts | AL|EN [20:58] AL|EN: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [20:58] Luminerd__, are those identical machine as cilkay said? [20:58] Earthpig: Canon. not Cannon. anyway, Canon cameras use the PTP protocol. you won't see them as a filesystem. use f-spot if it can, or gphoto2, to transfer the video. [20:59] Cilkay they ARE identical machines as I said [20:59] gphoto2, installing now [20:59] Earthpig: if you just want it to be treated as a filesystem, then you can probably use gphotofs for that [20:59] How can I see openssh logs? [20:59] where is the email folder for thunderbird located in Hardy Heron [20:59] I have to do a backup [20:59] yme: auth.log for logins [20:59] yme: ssh -v [21:00] !thunderbird [21:00] Thunderbird is a free email client, capable of close cooperation with Firefox (both by the Mozilla Foundation). To make Thunderbird links open in Firefox, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=60427 [21:00] belkinhelp2_: ~/.mozilla-thunderbird [21:00] Thanks ActionParsnip. I tend to just do pretty normal applications and Battle of Wesnoth. [21:00] thank you [21:00] corelist, the auth.log file doesn't give any errors [21:00] knoppix: again its not black and white [21:00] yeah [21:00] soundray, the ssh -v should be done on the client side, correct? [21:00] I understand it's difficult to say [21:00] yme: yes [21:00] bodeli, no problem....right now I'm using the "Human" theme.... [21:00] Luminerd__: I didn't see that. Hard to follow conversations with all the noise. There really ought to be a newbie channel so we can filter out the "Where is my email folder?" types of questions. I wasted a lot of time fiddling with Clonezilla and FAI. Both require more time to understand than I cared to commit, especially since preseeding is the official Debian/Ubuntu way of doing scripted installations. [21:00] Usser yes they are identical. Only difference is some have 256 others have 512 ram [21:01] I'm ban to the chan Ubuntu-fr because I forget to write /join font of my chan --' [21:01] I just want to use it for about a month till my hard drive data is recovered then use the pen drive like an ordinary human being after that [21:01] how can i change my email info in ubuntu forums ? [21:01] Queen_Of_Spades: well, you need to speak English here. [21:01] cilkay: It wouldn't be nearly as beneficial to anyone, helper or helpee. [21:01] techsupport: ask in #ubuntuforums [21:01] My english is very very bad xD [21:01] yme: you can change log verbosity level in sshd_config as SyslogFacility option, check man sshd_config [21:02] soundray, where can I post the results [21:02] techsupport: Ask tech support :) [21:02] corelist, I did, I changed it to DEBUG [21:02] yme: check ssh -v ... for clientside messages [21:02] Queen_of_Spades: Our French is almost certainly worse... ;) [21:02] is there any software program to capture a flash video off the web ? [21:02] Luminerd__, hm, weird do you even see boot loader? grub? [21:02] yme: look at them first and see if the problem isn't fairly obvious [21:02] Has anyone tried the ubuntu 8.10 beta yet? [21:02] Cilkay it's ok, it's just I'm very stressed as I'm supposed to have these all up and running by Monday and I have nothing but an iPhone with which to google! :( [21:02] yme: otherwise...

[21:03] Luminerd__: I'd still go with preseeding. It's actually reasonably easy to set up. [21:03] ciao [21:03] soundray, there is nothing obvious. I mean I can post these to pastebin [21:03] !pastebin [21:03] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[21:04] ActionParsnip...the odd thing is, there is only 1 Thunderbird folder but 3 users, two of which do not have it [21:04] Ok...4 hours of troubleshooting, and still no headway on my Creative Soundblaster issues...going to yank one out of another machine and see if I can get it to work on here [21:05] Luminerd__, no i mean when you boot the cloned machines, and get no OS message. do you get grub prompt? [21:05] I am trying to set up a DHCP server on my computer, but I cannot get it to recognize the WORKING ethernet device that I want it to listen on. WTF? [21:05] First of all...how do I remove a file from a protected folder via the terminal? [21:05] Cilkay reference system? I just have several pcs, most with no PS, and no Internet [21:05] i need one server in spanish or some chanel in spanish [21:05] Queen_Of_Spades: you haven't asked a question yet [21:05] !es | marlboro [21:05] marlboro: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [21:05] I read on the internett that steam could come to linux, is that true? if that, when could it come? (lol, my english :D ) [21:05] RickZilla: What do you mean by "protected folder"? [21:05] soundray, the result can be found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/53974 [21:05] thankz [21:05] Queen_Of_Spades: dis you ask a question? what is your problem? [21:05] Paal: what is steam? [21:05] my english is so bad [21:06] thankz [21:06] Well, it's in the etc folder, and I need to remove it [21:06] what is steam ? :P [21:06] corelist: steam is Valve's game distribution platform [21:06] Luminerd__: No reference system, no big deal. If you can install one system via preseeding, you can install 1000. The whole point is repeatability. [21:06] Paal: Probably only through Wine. [21:06] steam is a game/content deliver system that valve uses for things like counter strike half life, etc etc [21:06] Paal, yes steam runs through wine [21:06] yme: what is the question? [21:06] I've install a fresh Ubuntu Server on a Vbox and it gives me the following error on booting: This kernel requires the following features not present on your CPU: 0:6 [21:06] corelist: it says that that extension will not work with the latest version of firefox [21:06] I can't just point and click and delete it [21:06] oh thnks [21:06] corelist: a web site says mmore than 1000 words :P http://store.steampowered.com/ [21:06] wx9j: bad luck :/ [21:06] it would be very good [21:07] Paal: there are rumours that Valve hired someone to port HL2 to linux [21:07] soundray, the question is why the client gets a permission denied if it appears that the authentication/authorization went well [21:07] Cilkay unfortunately I currently can't even goodle preseeding without dcing from Orc [21:07] I want to now how I can be 'unban" to the #Ubuntu-fr chan --' I forget to write /join front of my chan so i'm automatically ban [21:07] Paal: why do you need it? to play counter strike under ubuntu? [21:07] RickZilla: I would first advise you to be sure you need to delet ethat file. [21:07] Irc even [21:07] Luminerd__: One tip that will save you hours, use the example-preseed.txt from the Ubuntu site as a starting point. [21:07] What is the correct syntax to remove a file from a given folder from within the terminal? [21:07] dimebar, that would be insanely awesome the hl series are my fav :P [21:07] bodeli: I do, I put it there in the first place [21:07] RickZilla: rm /path/to/file [21:07] It's really stupid [21:07] Flannel, thanks [21:07] Paal, if you're going to play source engine games use -dxlevel 80 [21:07] dimebar: cs1.6 works fine with wine [21:07] RickZilla: You will probably need to sudo that, though. [21:07] LjL: pm :) [21:07] DigitalFiz: yeah, I could finally dump my XP partition [21:07] yme: the authorization did not go well [21:07] Does source run on wine ok? [21:07] RickZilla: sudo rm [21:07] bodeli: thanks [21:07] Luminerd__: I'll get you a URL. Give me a few minutes. I have to move to another machine. [21:08] RickZilla: Since it's in /etc [21:08] f|uke, it runs okay but not great [21:08] RickZilla: Be sure before deleting... [21:08] soundray, do you know where I could look for the reason? [21:08] corelist: it does buy my usb headset won't work with voice comms (wine can't find my mic) [21:08] node357: cool! should try it [21:08] dimebar, i been impatiently waiting for hl2 episode 3 hehe im going to get the beta from a friend when its released [21:08] RickZilla: Right, be careful...once it's gone, it's gone.

Is this going to be doable in a day for a guy who knows little about Linux [21:08] Queen_Of_Spades: You'll have to discuss it in #ubuntu-irc [21:08] yme: you need to copy your public key to the server and append it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys there [21:08] #You're ban from this channel [21:09] soundray I did that [21:09] Hi, Im trying to create an encrypted partition to install ubuntu on, coudl someone point out a tutorial for me, please?

[21:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about hardy bluetooth [21:19] Flannel, okay. can it bruteforce http-sites? my router is accessable via http://192.168.1.1 [21:19] so gnu cash it is [21:19] ? [21:19] soundray....2 of 3 are active [21:19] aaron_: yes [21:20] I need Internet for this...... [21:20] belkinhelp2_: what do you mean by "active"? [21:20] !bluetooth > me [21:20] r_a_j_e, please see my private message [21:20] soundray....the main account is mine...the one im looking for [21:20] belkinhelp2_: Active, but have they run Thunderbird?? [21:20] soundray....2 of 3 are used === arooni_____ is now known as arooni [21:20] aaron: I did see a review of Accounting programs on linux.com jsut a few nights ago. [21:20] Luminerd__: All preseeding is doing is providing answers to all the questions for which you'd normally be prompted during installation. I can get from bare metal to complete KDE desktop machine in under 10 minutes by answering one question during installation and that one question, I'm sure I can preseed away too. [21:20] soundray...yes, running thunderbird [21:20] Does anyone know how to do raw socket programming in unbuntu? [21:20] Is there any way to dock the nickname list in xchat? [21:20] Is it foolish to run 8.10 as a noob? I really want to "update-manager -d", but on my last attempt, I couldn't get skype to work [21:20] ? [21:21] soundray....the odd thing is, the one i can see is in the "thunderbird" folder under "profiles" [21:21] anyone? [21:21] f|uke: slightly foolish, yes [21:21] perlsyntax: try #ubuntu-devel [21:21] Soundray...thats where i was assuming mine would be as well [21:21] thanks [21:21] soundray, I solved the problem [21:21] soundray....one more thing...i just upgraded to hardy heron last night [21:21] garrr. Ok. i can wait a month. [21:21] yme: what was it? [21:21] Cilkay but what about user accounts and themes [21:21] Hello all, trying to build Amarok2 from trunk but getting mysql error on kubuntu hardy. needs libmysqld.a which package do I need please? [21:21] so how can i get a service to start at startup automatically [21:21] ? [21:21] Luminerd__: All installing over a network is going to do instead of a CD is make the installation even more automatic. You can do 20 machines in under 30 minutes because you won't have to run around to each one individually. [21:21] techsupport: what's the name of the service? [21:22] !repeat | cilkay [21:22] cilkay: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [21:22] it solved with using a proxy [21:22] soundray, well its a game server [21:22] I installed cygwin on the client, and the generated key was undere cygwin, but not under the ssh folder used by ssh [21:22] corelist: Huh? [21:22] techsupport sessions [21:22] I posted this to #ubunut+1 but maybe someone here has the answer: " [21:22] [14:22] [hansin(+ei)] [6:freenode/#ubuntu(+JLcfnt)] [Act: 2,3,4] [21:22] [#ubuntu] [21:22] BTW, I am getting versed in Grub due to some of my install issues (I triple boot and like to try out different things). In the partion stage, at least on the text installer, I can choose if I want to set onto the start of that partions, so I would then be able to chainload that partion? Just not sure what setting that to 'yes' would do. Thanks. [21:22] soundray, I installed cygwin on the client, and the generated key was undere cygwin, but not under the ssh folder used by ssh [21:22] Cilkay it is really sounding like this is going I be a lot more complicated [21:22] techsupport: did you install it as an Ubuntu package? [21:22] Luminerd__: You can add user accounts to the preseed file. [21:22] Sorry, what I just posted what the question... thanks. [21:22] soundray, no [21:23] hi [21:23] techsupport: good to know [21:23] Luminerd__: Not really. There's a bunch of complexity to other schemes too. You just don't know them yet. :) [21:23] It will not take me less time if it takes me long time to figure out how to even use it [21:23] soundray....when i do a file search for "thunderbird" there is only one /home/user listed [21:23] soundray...what gives? [21:23] soundray, so now I re-generated the key, copied it under ~/.ssh (on the client), copied and cat it to the server and everything works nicely [21:23] was the question... Just wondering what the 'set partion as bootable' flag does in the text installer. [21:23] yme: well done [21:24] soundray...i know its somewhere on my harddrive because i can read my saved mail [21:24] soundray, i compiled it from a third party and have to use this command to start it sektor@ubuntu:~/q2server/q2sv$ ./r1q2ded +set game opentdm +exec server.cfg +map q2dm1 [21:24] trenton_: Well, do you have the mysql server, client (and probably a bunch of deve headers) installed? [21:24] yme: so that was a vulnerable key blacklist issue? [21:24] soundray....any suggestions on manually tracing the program back to the save location? [21:24] belkinhelp2_: are you trying to see another user's email folder? [21:24] soundray....im trying to see my own folder [21:24] Luminerd__: So what "simple" method were you considering? [21:24] soundray...i can already see the other users folder...thats what is bothering me! [21:24] is it possible to install backtrack (sorry, cant get onto backtrack forums) on a encrypted partition made with truecrypt? [21:25] without emulation [21:25] belkinhelp2_: Perhaps the terminal would give you better perspective. Try ls -a [21:25] belkinhelp2_: make a config change, exit thunderbird and run 'find ~ -mmin -2' (searches your home for files changed in the last two minutes) [21:25] Luminerd__: Do you already have a disk image? (That's what I meant by a reference system.) [21:25] hi, did someone here direct perlsyntax to #ubuntu-devel for help with programming questions? [21:25] Cilkay partimage I already have about 9 hours into trying to set it up and now it simply won't boot!! [21:25] slangasek: not yet [21:25] soundray, so basically, my question is is it possible for me to set up so that i wont have to login as that user and run that command, but to actually have it start automatically at startup when i restart ubuntu server ? [21:26] Does anyone know how to get raw socket programming to wor k on unbuntu? [21:26] bobertdos: "yet"? [21:26] bobertdos: yes, but it apears that mysql-5.1 on ubuntu is broken when it comes to libmysqld.a ,and mysql-5.0 is not supported [21:26] slangasek: that was some one here. [21:26] without emulation [21:26] is it possible to install backtrack (sorry, cant get onto backtrack forums) on a encrypted partition made with truecrypt? [21:26] Cilkay I have a image of. The primary partition [21:26] corelist, no, that was simply Windows :-( [21:26] ? [21:26] thats very odd [21:26] ? [21:26] hello [21:26] i know i didnt open that picture in the last two minutes [21:26] belkinhelp2_: what's odd? [21:26] hay, is there any #ubuntu-offtopic channel ? [21:26] soundray....is someone in my system? [21:26] corelist: er, could you tell me who? #ubuntu-devel isn't a channel for programming help, and it would be good if we weren't giving users the runaround by directing them to wrong channels [21:26] itewsh: yes [21:26] itewsh: there is [21:26] itewsh: yes, it's called that [21:27] i wish someone would help me with my question i have.

[22:37] cyrus__: rpc (part of nfs-server normally) is not running [22:37] remoteCTR...im just following this link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [22:37] simNIX: you should never need to edit /etc/sudoers directly. [22:38] lampliter: thats not an ubuntu issue [22:38] not if you removed yourself out like PucKid did ? [22:38] lampliter: the font server would need to run in the gest, not the host [22:38] this is the instruction i am following from that link: Then edit your /etc/fstab file (you need root privileges) to add this line: [22:38] /servername/sharename /media/mountname cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 [22:38] ikonia, become a member of a domain [22:38] What's the command to change permissions on a folder? [22:38] danielson: change permissions with chmod, see man chmod for details [22:38] thx [22:38] How can I install programs with Synaptic? [22:38] ikonia - if I run rpcinfo -p it shows me that portmap is running [22:38] techsupport: are you planning to act as a slave or anything [22:39] is it true that only root can own a NTFS drive? [22:39] ajp, just select the box with install [22:39] yes it is because I can't find where ubuntu leaves its font server and ikonia, the font server can either go on a guest or a host. It typically resides near the X11 clients on the remote machine [22:39] then click apply [22:39] s1011000: no [22:39] cyrus__: so port mapper is running [22:39] ah good to here ikonia [22:39] I installed a program "KoolDock" but where can I find it and turn it on? [22:39] ikonia, all i want is to share a 500 gb drive with my other 2 windows computers [22:39] that are part of a domain [22:39] ikonia - ya. Now, since the ubuntu box is only the client all I installed was nfs-common and portmap [22:40] techsupport: ok - so it's straight member [22:40] ikonia - I didn't install nfs-kernel-server [22:40] techsupport: have you read the docs on it ? [22:40] AJP: If there's not shortcut in the menus, use the terminal or run menu.

[22:46] but that doesnt work [22:47] belkinhelp2_: what does it say [22:47] techsupport: look in your config options, you have a parameter called "relm" I wouldn't look at using relms at the moment [22:47] ikonia....mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on nwo-0e7470b5056/shareddocs/, [22:47] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [22:47] (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might [22:47] need a /sbin/mount. helper program) [22:47] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [22:47] belkinhelp2_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:54] ikonia: lamp is good but xampp suit comes with complete tools.. [22:54] /join #linux [22:54] soundstorm?... never heard of it [22:54] martintux: so as I said xampp is nothing to do with ubuntu [22:55] ikonia, can u elaborate this? [22:55] python 2.6 is going to be distribute with 8.10 ? [22:55] martintux: xammp is not an ubuntu packaged producct, so it must have been installed outside of ubuntu's package manager and therefore support should be with the xammp community [22:55] getxsick: join #ubuntu+1 [22:56] halp [22:56] ikonia, oh i get it. so the package from outside cant' get support from here? [22:56] ikonia: ? [22:56] damned ikonia i admire that multitasking of yours [22:56] anyone ever fixed the error with setting essid? [22:56] martintux: not quite, but your just asking for generic help [22:56] ikonia, although it's for ubuntu? [22:56] martintux: your problem is nothing to do with ubuntu -it' application/generic linux specific [22:56] getxsick: ubuntu+1 for 8.10 discussion [22:56] ok [22:57] !ask | dysje [22:57] dysje: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:57] anyone play wc3 frozenthrone and get a virtual drive to actually work using GMount or some other app in ubuntu? [22:57] <[Solaris]> after installing apache2/php/etc how do i make it so the users can have a website on the box? [22:57] [Solaris]: put data in the DocRoot [22:58] [Solaris]: or use mod_userdir [22:58] okidoki, i finally switched from xp to ubuntu on an older laptop. With compiz and all it works great. I just can't get wireless and bluetooth working [22:58] ikonia, so it seems like i messed up: [22:58] wirless gives error: can not set essid, invalid argument [22:58] i typed sudo ln -s ~/public_html /opt/lampp/htdocs/$USER [22:58] ikonia....just for fun...hows your knowledge base on webcams with ubunut [22:58] dysje, what kind of wireless card? [22:58] <[Solaris]> ikonia erm lemme try that [22:58] is there anyway i could reset it? or just write new one over it? [22:58] martintux: ln -sf replaces links, or remove the link [22:58] kevin_, i use gmount but have no idea about wc3forzen... [22:59] belkinhelp2_: just ask the question [22:59] dysje, I don't know if this helps but my wireless didn't work at first either -- I had to plug it into the internet and update (using wired LAN) [22:59] it create new link ikonia [22:59] martintux: thats right [22:59] ikonia, i don't know how to use in command [22:59] ikonia...ubuntu does not recognize my webcam when i plug it in USB [22:59] tripitakit, im trying to play the game w/o the need for the cd ... but wc3 doesn't recognize the virtual drive for some reason (my guess is securom issues) [22:59] martintux: man ln will give you more detail, put use ln -sf rather than ln -sf [22:59] ikonia, how could i list all the links i have? [22:59] kevin_: i have updated everything through wireless internet, i am using ndiswrapper with an older card, i know the drivers in ndiswrapper are good and the card is being detected, it just won't update essid, not even manually through iwconfig [23:00] ikonia...how do i nudge ubuntu to recognize it [23:00] belkinhelp2_: what type of camera is it [23:00] Hey guys. I was fiddling around with themes and I seem to have broken gnome. While changing themes the screen froze. I restarted X with ctrl+alt+backspace and re-logged in. My startup sound plays but it just freezes and can't go any further. The same problem happens if I change the session to "Failsafe Gnome" and after reboot. I had fluxbox installed which I'm using now but could really use some help fixing gnome [23:00] ikonia...logitech pro 9000 [23:00] belkinhelp2_: should be supported, does lsusb show it ? [23:00] belkinhelp2_: if you unplug it, and do "tail -f /var/log/syslog" then plug it in, does that window change at all [23:00] ikonia...if you can get me working with this...i can keep Linux, othewise i have to downgrade to XP [23:00] belkinhelp2_: I have a similar webcam [23:01] ikonia, and one more proble... how could i install webcam properly? is there any package which could at reconize webcam? [23:01] danbh_intrepid: are you using interpid [23:01] !webcam [23:01] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [23:01] dysje, i c...well all i can tell you is keep asking or search forums-- i know that ubuntu doesn't have very good support for wireless [23:01] ikonia: yes [23:01] danbh_intrepid: then you should get support in #ubuntu+1 [23:01] d4de_, what does your $HOME/.xession-errors say about the broken gnome-session? [23:01] kevin_: seems to be a problem with most linux distributions [23:01] ikonia: but intrepid is still quite buggy [23:01] i got my webcam working but too dark and blurry [23:02] hey guys I wanted to ask what is the difference between installing ubuntu on a ext2 and an ext3 ? [23:02] danbh_intrepid: I'm well aware of this, you'll find support and discussion for 8.10 users in #ubuntu+1 channel [23:02] ForsakenSoul: later version of th file system [23:02] ikonia....yes [23:02] ForsakenSoul: ext3 is more supported [23:02] ikonia: thanks mate : P If I have a question, I;ll make sure to post it there [23:02] How can I list hard drives in terminal? Can't remember what it was but it was option -l [23:02] all: If I am most concerned with preserving my hard drive data (from HD crashes, accedental deletes, partition table fails, etc) would it be better to set up my data in RAID mirroring or to use the drives to preform periodic backups? [23:02] belkinhelp2_: ok, so thats a start [23:02] ikonia....you want a pastebin? === iron is now known as _1r0N [23:02] belkinhelp2_: nah thats fine [23:02] Can anyone spend some time helping me set up transmissions web gui? [23:02] ok [23:02] thanks [23:02] belkinhelp2_: so what are you doing to get it working now ? [23:02] anyone here have experience with winxp/ubuntu reinstall (especially reinstall of XP) because i have a virus and i cant get it out of the system. but need to make sure the grub menu is up again [23:02] Ah, fdisk [23:02] belkinhelp2_: what tool do you want to use to actually use it [23:02] d4de_: from the ttyl terminal, you could try sudo dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-desktop or gdm [23:02] !grub > SurfnKid [23:02] SurfnKid, please see my private message [23:03] ikonia...not sure whats the best?...i just tried a few of the programs that come with ubunut [23:03] belkinhelp2_: which ones did you try ? [23:03] ikonia: you see, Ive spend hours working this cam on both hardy and intrepid, so I know a few things about it === _1r0N is now known as iron [23:03] ikonia...the messenger one....xgia i think [23:03] How can I see what window border is running (gtk, emerald, metacity etc.) [23:03] How can I restore my borders to default... http://i38.tinypic.com/96xsb9.png [23:03] belkinhelp2_: it's important to find an app that has webcam support [23:03] i was hoping i could fix up and old laptop with ubuntu, but it seems it's not made for it :( [23:03] d4de_: rtt, iy might be dpkg-configure -r or something, check the manpage, I don't remember [23:03] ikonia...Ekiga softphone [23:03] belkinhelp2_: the link pici posted is a good one [23:03] !webcam > belkinhelp2_ [23:03] belkinhelp2_, please see my private message [23:04] anyone else has any experience with wireless? [23:04] hi, what is the easiest way to copy files from an old Ubuntu install to a new one (user home directories)? [23:04] belkinhelp2_: if you walk through that you should get %90 of the way with that camera [23:04] MXIIA: metacisty --replace [23:04] !wifi | dysje [23:04] dysje: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:04] belkinhelp2_: testing with gstreamer-properties is a good place to start [23:04] juro: cp [23:04] ikonia, how to list all the links i have?

[23:05] ikonia, and connection wise? [23:05] hardcorelinux - here's my .xsession-errors [23:05] I want everything to look like KDE. [23:05] ikonia...i have the soundstorm sound card integrated into this motherboard by Nvidia....seems not to work with ALSA [23:05] And I need a theme that makes natuillus look like Konqueror [23:05] hardcorelinux, http://paste.ubuntu.com/54023/ [23:05] juro: any ethernet network [23:05] ubottu: i've read that a hundred times, but it seems like anything beyond clicking buttons isn't coverend anywhere [23:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:05] !webcam > DINK [23:05] DINK, please see my private message [23:05] belkinhelp2_: never used that card, so no idea off the top of my head [23:05] ikonia, ok thanx [23:05] bobertdos, thanks for that. will see if that helps [23:05] ikonia...k [23:05] all: If I am most concerned with preserving my hard drive data (from HD crashes, accedental deletes, partition table fails, etc) would it be better to set up my data in RAID mirroring or to use the drives to preform periodic backups? [23:06] remoteCTRL, metacity is already running, still mirrored [23:06] ikonia...going through the link...bbl [23:06] energY: We're not going to be able to help you that much further than pointing you to http://gnome-look.org [23:06] DINK: software raid mirroring is excellent in ubuntu [23:06] d4de_: If not, I often recommend (a rather extreme solution) of deleting all the gdm preference folders in the home directory to force everything back to default. [23:06] DINK: well, in linux in gerneal [23:06] MXIIA: what do you mean by mirrored? [23:06] the X max and mini are on the left [23:07] and the icon on the right [23:07] MXIIA: that would be a matter of the theme you picked i suppose.. [23:07] d4de_, this happened because you changed the "theme"? [23:07] I tried every theme, including Human, still mirrored [23:08] ikonia: but I'm having doubts about using RAID (because it's not going to prevent like partition table deaths or other things that mirroring will not prevent), thinking maybe I should just use dd every week or so [23:08] what do you think? [23:08] DINK: you can implement a cronjob and use rsync [23:08] DINK: software raid mirroring will preserve partition tables too due to how you need to set it up [23:09] after a while of not using mysql I need to try to install bugzilla. The problem is I don't remember the password for mysql :/ what can I do? [23:09] hardcorelinux - yeah, I'd right clicked desktop and gone to "change background" ... went to themes tab and was flicking through the options there. Was flicking back and forth when the whole screen froze. Which is when I restarted the x session. After that, no login with gnome [23:10] kane77: read the mysql docs on reseting the root password and re-grant the password to correct users [23:10] hi [23:10] i have x64 architecture and cant install flash [23:10] smokeytheman: install the package called "flashplugin-nonfree" and it will do it all for you [23:10] ikonia: I guess I'm thinking like let's just say I'm repartitioning the drive which has important data on it. I mess up the partition (delete something or set a setting wrong) and I loose access to my data. Rather than having to do a hard like archiving and recovery process (which RAID isn't going to prevent; because it's telling both good and 'backup' drive to do) if I have a nother drive that is independant that I just sync up every no [23:10] w and then, that would prevent that. [23:11] ikonia...have the software installed from the link you sent me. Here is where i got stuck: testuser@testuser-desktop:~$ ls /dev/video* [23:11] /dev/video0 /dev/video1 [23:11] testuser@testuser-desktop:~$ ls /dev/audio* [23:11] ls: cannot access /dev/audio*: No such file or directory [23:11] belkinhelp2_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:11] what's the terminal prompt to open the users and settings dialogue? [23:11] hardcorelinux, I've run the command bobertdos gave me so I'm going to try restarting x now. If no joy I will log back in with fluxbox and report back. BRB [23:11] how many lines can i cut and paste without flooding? [23:11] belkinhelp2_: you hav no audio device [23:11] belkinhelp2_: you need to start using the pastebin and stop flooding the channel please. [23:11] d4de_, to restore sanity can you rename ~/.gnome2 to something line ~/.gnome2.orig and try login again(do this outside of a gnome login) [23:11] ikonia, is there anyway i could create link using gui? [23:11] !paste > belkinhelp2_ [23:11] belkinhelp2_, please see my private message [23:11] ikonia, thanks I'm trying it now [23:11] Hi does anyone know how to start Urban Terror game? I installed it using http://www.getdeb.net/app/Urban+Terror website but donno how to start it [23:11] ikonia...yes, i have no audio [23:11] ikonia: i did that, it still doesn't work. its not even read [23:12] martintux: I'm sure nautluis does [23:12] smokeytheman: show me the output of "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" in a pastebin please. [23:12] I thought I saw a matrix somewhere on somebody's wiki that showed sound cards that work with ubuntu--I'm not seeing it now, though...anybody have a link to something like this?

[23:14] ikonia: I guess I'm thinking like let's just say I'm repartitioning the drive which has important data on it. I mess up the partition (delete something or set a setting wrong) and I loose access to my data. Rather than having to do a hard like archiving and recovery process (which RAID isn't going to prevent; because it's telling both good and 'backup' drive to do) if I have a nother drive that is independant that I just sync up every no [23:14] w and then, that would prevent that. [23:15] what are all the !help commands that the bot has? [23:15] nm...ill look at that later [23:15] hardcorelinux - nope - still no joy.

Is there any console command to just restore defaults on theme etc? [23:17] smokeytheman: Can Konqueror list its plugins? I wouldn't know since I don't use K, but you might want to symlink to the plugin. [23:17] does anyone here know what software I can use to type in thai? [23:17] I thought I saw a matrix somewhere on somebody's wiki that showed sound cards that work with ubuntu--I'm not seeing it now, though...anybody have a link to something like this?

If people at work can open this file on monday I'll probably use this going forward...seems to work well [23:19] how can I just reset gnome to its defaults [23:19] christina7863: if you want only the keyboard to support it that would be in system/preferences/keyboard on the layout tab [23:19] (or re-install ubuntu) [23:19] hardcorelinux - would it help if I deleted current .xsession-errors, tried to log in again, then posted the fresh file?

[23:26] christophe: you experienced with wireless on ubuntu? [23:26] bobertdos - I missed that suggestion. hardcorelinux - could you please repeat what you said about renaming?

[23:33] chr1s3one2: I'm not sure. How do I know that? [23:33] luminer1: because there's a switch on the usb drive that sets it to read only or it's not FAT formatted [23:33] luminer1: It either didn't mount with write permissions or you don't own it.

It says it will only take up 4400 MBs [23:53] hrm, ok thx [23:53] LeChacal, from the way that network's setup - there isn't a way - maybe you aren't allowed to print to the printer ?? [23:53] yes it will be fine [23:53] hopefully someone has some info on how i can hook up my laptop to my bigscreen tv. i have the proper cable connected but it doesnt display. anyone know what i need to do to get this to work? any help would be appreciated [23:54] christophe: Still put it at 103% O.o [23:54] cant u lower further [23:54] ? [23:54] tysol have you check on resolution [23:54] unop: no you can because it is a computer lab that you can access 24 hours a day on the same floor as me but i dont want to save my work to a thumb drive walk plug it in and print [23:54] hardcorelinux - created a new user in shell with those commands but when I try and login it's telling me something about permissions being wrong then saying session lasted less than 10 seconds and kicking me back to login screen [23:55] christophe: Yeah, Just worried that I'll lose quaility and the sound and vid will be off [23:55] Pref> Screen Res [23:55] killer tux i dont see an option for extending the desktop to the other screen [23:55] it wont affect mucj [23:55] much [23:55] LeChacal, you should really speak to your network administrator about this - if they wanted you to be able to access the printer on that network, they would surely have setup a route to it [23:55] tysol sys>pref>screen reso [23:55] ill try that [23:55] hey guys, is there any way to integrate gwget and firefox? [23:56] tysol check clone Screens [23:56] christophe: Okay, so what option should I choose for action? which will make it convert and burn? [23:56] !flash [23:56] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [23:56] ok [23:56] then it just automatically works? [23:56] unop: an upper classes man who didnt know what he was saying told me that a guy a few years ago set up a VPN, now i know what a VPN and i couldnt figure out how he would do that [23:56] cant u read the manual? [23:56] tysol it should [23:56] killer tux thanks alot! ill give it a try [23:56] tysol try it [23:57] christophe: Wasn't one... I just synaptic'd it [23:57] tysol no problem [23:57] LeChacal, a VPN would work - but you'd need to have a VPN server that exists on that network and the access and credentials, etc to access it [23:57] does anyone know of a pcmcia firewire card for a laptop which works in ubuntu? [23:58] unop: i know all that, that is why i couldnt figure out how the guy supposedly did it [23:58] spherous : tp://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/75/ [23:58] http [23:58] how can i close someones session without login into the accound being root?
