[00:22] Peddy: yes [00:22] hmm, how can i open my fstab again? [00:22] does gparted usually take ten five minutes to start up? [00:22] Peddy, the physical attributes of an interface don't affect NAT [00:22] hi [00:23] how does one see what version of ubuntu he has ? via cmd line ? [00:23] Flannel:, ActionParsnip, unop, does my wireless interface need a static IP, then? [00:23] drumstyk1 for viewing less /etc/fstab for editing gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [00:23] Peddy, not necessarily [00:23] Agiofws: you might check the /etc/apt/sources.list file [00:23] Peddy: no, it will get it from your wireless access point (unless you told it not to give out dhcp) [00:24] agiofws in the command line i don't know but you can see it in system monitor in the system tab [00:24] Ok === mike is now known as Guest26969 [00:24] thanks agent bob!

[00:27] hello from greece [00:28] if i am updating my ubuntu to 8.10 beta and i get electricity off my pc goes off during update is it harmful? [00:29] Peddy: that is configuring the addressing of your network devices [00:29] drumstyk1 i would change two portions of that line. "/dev/sda3 /mnt/disk vfat fmask=111,dmask=000,auto 0 0" and run the command " sudo mkdir -p /mnt/disk " if it were me. but i'm just like that i guess. [00:29] Peddy: one goes to the world and will be on dhcp from your provider, the other withh set a static ip for your wireless device [00:30] what would that change? [00:30] hi there are some files in my trash i delete them but they stay there i think they are of my usb flash disk how to delete them? [00:30] Hey guys, I'm trying to run ubuntu to go into gnome and install.. but when I hit the button it loads and takes me to "BusyBox v1.1.3"... Isnt it supposed to take me to a desktop? [00:30] ActionParsnip: would my external network interface be the one that I'm trying to connect to the internet? [00:30] drumstyk1 the mountpoint would be a static /mnt/disk and the permissions would let you read/write to it. [00:30] Peddy: yes its the one that gives you the web, usually an 81 or 82 IP [00:30] how can I make custom DNS settings stick for my computer that has a static IP, and no gui? [00:30] awesome, thanks agent bob!!

[00:35] ActionParsnip you starting to stutter ? [00:35] Agent_bob: Any particular reason you're on dapper still? [00:35] same reason nick cages [00:35] Flannel yes dialup [00:35] Flannel very slow dialup [00:36] :| [00:36] Yea, could anyone help me? No matter what I do in my ubuntu install disc it always takes me to a thing called BusyBox V1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) Built in shell (ash) [00:36] how to clean my trash bin? i delete file but they are always there, i think those are of my usb drive. [00:36] fodah: are you using Wubi? [00:37] Uh, i'm just using a default ubuntu desktop install disc [00:37] Flannel i have several fully uptodate dapper boxen. it would take me 8months to upgrade to hardy which by then would of course be two versions out of date... as is what happened with dapper. [00:37] Agent_bob: You might try contacting your LoCo team, see if they can get you a Hardy disk. [00:38] fodah: try opening /boot/grub/menu.lst and replacing "quiet splash" with "all_generic_ide" [00:38] ciao a tutti [00:38] Agent_bob: Wifi is a lot easier on Hardy than it is on Dapper, that's for sure. Lot more supported without any hassle. [00:38] I don't even have ubuntu installed peddy [00:38] !it | marko_spirit [00:38] marko_spirit: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [00:38] Flannel just the install disk wouldn't help the updates would eat me alive. [00:39] how to clean my trash bin? i delete file but they are always there, i think those are of my usb drive. [00:39] fodah: oh, sorry :P. Add 'all_generic_ide' to the boot parameters when booting from the disk. [00:39] I have a sata HDD [00:39] Flannel ok. i was afraid that atheros might be a problem. i wouldn't have bought the peace of junk, but i inherited it. [00:39] plus, I don't know where to add that [00:39] fodah: I forgot the key for adding boot parameters, but there's a shortcut list at the bottom. [00:39] Aaqil_, gconf-editor, apps-nautilus-preferences or someplace there, enable delete... [00:39] ok [00:39] Aaqil_: you could go to where the trash folder is and manually empty it [00:39] at the bottom of the CD menu [00:39] ok [00:39] fodah: wait, never mind the ide thing. [00:39] I'll try that, thank you [00:39] o :s [00:40] want to go to private chat? [00:40] lucax: what? i dont know about those much things i am new at ubuntu [00:40] fodah: sorry :P that was for Wubi, my brother was having a problem and that fixed it. [00:40] fodah: sure [00:40] ActionParsnip: i did that but they are still there [00:40] Aaqil_, alt+F2 type there gconf-editor... [00:40] hey I was wondering if there is an interface to get the process list [00:41] Aaqil_: create a file, add it to the trash, then empty the trash [00:41] Agent_bob: 8.04.1 has most of the updates already. And they can always give you an 8.04.2 disk in January, and that'll have the updates included (that is, the alternate CD, which can be used to update) [00:41] zelrikriando: top [00:41] zelrikriando: or ps -ef [00:41] zelrikriando pstree [00:41] :) [00:41] Agent_bob: Dapper is going to have just as many, if not more, updates than Hardy. [00:41] ActionParsnip, that's not an 'interface' [00:41] programs like firefox and pidgin, where are they located at? [00:41] lol [00:41] zelrikriando top is [00:41] synaptic [00:41] ActionParsnip: that is not helping [00:41] top isnt [00:41] thiebaude: usually in /usr/bin [00:42] zelrikriando also ksysguard and there is probably something gnomish too [00:42] is there a way to bring up a list of the network connections my computer's made and the applications that have prompted them in a human readable format? [00:42] thanks actionparsnip, hi by the way [00:42] thiebaude: you can find out by typing: which [00:42] lucax: got configuration editor what to do next? [00:42] ok [00:42] Aaqil_: are they taking up lots of room, these files? [00:42] Aaqil_, navigate to... let me check [00:43] zelrikriando next you'll be telling me that bash isn't a shell... ;/ [00:43] ActionParsnip: nope. just one folder [00:43] hey can you tell me why my sound starts to skip it was working last night but now its just skippiong ? [00:43] * Agent_bob [00:43] Aaqil_: i wouldnt sweat it myself, looks like lucax has a solution [00:43] Agent_bob, ok tell me how to run top without going to a terminal :) [00:43] Cheeky: are you fully updated? [00:44] zelrikriando: top is a terminal based app [00:44] Hi all! I can set keyboard shortcuts in GNOME for increasing/decreasing volume. When I hit the keys, I get a nice little square on my screen with a speaker icon and a bar displaying the new volume. Is it possible to access this from command line? [00:44] Aaqil_, naviate to apps. nautilus, preferences, tilt enable delete, then after this you will see an option when u right click on files that says delete, so that wont move files to trash... it will just delete them [00:44] zelrikriando just because it runs in a terminal doesn't mean it's not an interface. don't redefine words just to win an argument. [00:44] ActionParsnip: updated my suystem .. only yesterday but .. i also upgraded my flash from 9 to 10 [00:44] Agent_bob, I'd say the terminal is the interface in that case [00:45] oh well [00:45] lol [00:45] you'd say. [00:45] fact is there is no GUI [00:45] zelrikriando there is too. i named one. [00:45] ksysguard [00:45] ok [00:45] zelrikriando: no, the terminal allows you to runs app, the programs you run in the terminal can take control over it [00:45] and as i said there is probably a gnomish one too [00:46] Aaqil_, did u get it? [00:46] Hello [00:46] one day printing works fine, the other CUPS tells me : "Parallel port busy ; will retry in 30 seconds" [00:46] anyone know a gnome eq for ksysguard ? [00:46] How can I move my "home" folder to another partition ? [00:46] zelrikriando: the fact that it runs in terminal or in some fancy window still makes top an interface to the running pocesses [00:46] I'm using 7.10 [00:46] !separatehome | amnay [00:46] lucax: but that old file is still in my trash when i try to delete that i get "Error removing file: Permission denied" [00:46] amnay: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [00:47] zelrikriando: http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?top [00:47] Aaqil_: use sudo [00:47] Anybody got an advice on software to handle lots of files, let's say, backups. I have literally 80 GB of data that I want to analyze, so I can keep only the newest version of each file. Files are not archived, they are just in endless folders with no organization at all. [00:47] ActionParsnip: how? [00:48] Aaqil_, open a terminal and type gksudo nautilus / and delete it with root [00:48] Aaqil_: sudo rm -rf [00:48] vocx wow and good luck [00:48] vocx rsync maybe ? [00:48] Aaqil_: be very creful with that command [00:48] Aaqil_: very very careful [00:48] hi all [00:48] ActionParsnip: weee :-ss [00:48] Aaqil_: its very aggressive and is to be used sparingly, it does have its uses though [00:48] Aaqil_, the world will end if you type that command... [00:48] Killer--Tux, yeah, you wouldn't believe how this guy does his backups... [00:48] :o [00:49] * Agent_bob watches ActionParsnip squerm now... [00:49] it can end, but used properly its dead useful [00:49] vocx lol [00:49] I just installed LAMP and am now installing phpmyadmin from the repos.. It's asking to configure itself to ... I have 2 Apache's listed.. Apache & Apache2. My gut tells me to have it configure for Apache2. Is that right? [00:49] as you just saw [00:49] so what's the gnomish one? [00:49] Scunizi: correct. Ubuntu doesn't have apache anymore. [00:49] can someone help me with a sound problem please, my normal sound card works, i am connected to a HDMI TV at the moment from my HD2600 card which also has an onboard 5.1 audio, The video and audio works except the audio dosen't work in games and vlc media player specifically [00:49] <_Andrew> Scunizi, Which apache did you install? version 1 or 2? [00:49] Aaqil_, haha just do it like that... after this empty root trash, and... check if permissions are ok in properties... set owner to be you and ur done! [00:50] Agent_bob, any quick tips on rsync? I would like to list all repeated files in a list first, so I can check them one by one if needed. I don't want to erase the old ones immediately. [00:50] zelrikriando i don't know. i don't use gnome, or any GUI for that matter. [00:50] brb [00:50] although the sound does work in totem [00:50] !alsa [00:50] 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 [00:50] zelrikriando: no ide myself but i use fluxbox, i just use top [00:50] _Andrew: 2 I believe .. I used the installer for LAMP that's in Synaptic.. there's also Apache-ssl, apache-perl [00:51] oh I see [00:51] _Andrew: this is just for a localhost test bed.. [00:51] vocx ummm no actually i'm not well versed on rsync but just noticed what you were asking and thought "hey, that's what rsync is made for" sorry i can't be of more use there. [00:51] lucax: empty root trash? what is that [00:51] lucax: i typed gksudo nautilus [00:51] How would I make my Mic go through my speakers. [00:51] win 2 [00:51] Oops [00:51] <_Andrew> Scunizi, open a terminal type "apac" and press tab, if it auto completes to apache2 then well, you have the answer [00:52] lucax got root what to do next? [00:52] Aaqil_, navigate to wherever its the file u want to delete... then delete it [00:52] _Andrew: apache2.. [00:52] _Andrew: thanks. [00:52] channel language is german too? [00:52] lucax the file is in my trash bin [00:53] lucax: when i click at trash from root it gives ... Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "trash": Operation not supported [00:53] Aaqil_, ctrl+H to show hidden files, let me check where are the files... [00:53] can someone help me with running multiple x session at one time? i'm having some problems [00:53] Aaqil_, you have to go to /home/youruser [00:53] Agent_bob, yeah, I've heard good things about rsync too, thanks. [00:54] welcome [00:54] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuL0Mj0GyBE [00:54] haha this is funny [00:55] Aaqil_, /home/youruser/.local/share/Trash in files there is the file you want to delete it, do it [00:55] i really really really hate the wrk54g [00:55] lucax i went to home/valentine and next? [00:55] Kosova: this is ubuntu support, not pasting stuff from youtube [00:55] !ot | Kosova [00:55] Kosova: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:55] sorry [00:55] np :D [00:55] Agent_bob i use rsync to periodically back up my mp3 collection [00:55] lucax done danna done :D [00:55] Aaqil_, crtl+H to show hidden files... and go to .local/share/Trash [00:56] koshari: well done for backing up [00:56] koshari if you are well versed in rsync syntax would you mind helping vocx with it ? [00:56] Aaqil_, ok if you delete it with root the files must be at roots trash... empty root trash [00:56] * ActionParsnip just crons a cp job [00:56] ActionParsnip: lucax thank you :D how do you all learn so many commands? [00:57] Aaqil_: use command line more than gui [00:57] koshari, I have 80 GB of backups, they are multiple files in folders and stuff. Do you know if there is a way to list all files, and check for duplicates, before synchronizing? [00:57] Aaqil_ heh we waste buku hours learning them. [00:57] how can i fix my boot problems with grub / ntldr ? i re-installed ubuntu recently and since then i havn't been able to boot windows, everytime i choose the grub menu item for windows/other os it just says "Starting ..." and doesn't do anything [00:58] !grub | kitty_ [00:58] kitty_: 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 [00:58] i tried someone's suggestion for the ntldr boot disk but i was unable to get windows to boot [00:58] Agent_bob: thanks for help about starting programs :D [00:58] Aaqil_, you will learn them after a while... [00:58] Agent_bob, I didnt find anything in the synaptic [00:58] How would I make my Mic go through my speakers. [00:58] vocx: unfortinately i dont know how to detect multiple files with rsync, i basically use this line rsync -r --del -u /bigmutha/music /sdc1/removable --progress [00:58] yawn.. [00:59] my xorg process is using 110MB of RAM, while normally it uses more along the lines of 20MB. any ideas? [00:59] but anyways, windows is there, but i cant get it to load up ntldr and i don't know how to boot windows manually from grub [01:00] kitty_: you need to add lines to your bootloader config so you can boot windows from grub also [01:00] koshari, which does what? Only copy the differences, or erases the old ones? Care to explain a little? [01:00] ... want me to paste my menu.lst so you can see that they are there? [01:01] sure [01:01] !paste | kitty_ [01:01] kitty_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [01:01] vocx it will copy new files across or if a file has been modified ie corrected a tag ect it will copy the newer file and delete the old file in the backup. [01:02] http://pastebin.com/d22b0127e [01:02] yeah i know how to use pastebin [01:02] it also prints a list of the deleted files. [01:02] i take nothing as given [01:02] Palomides i have an idea that 20m for xorg is bloat. 6m would be more like it http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/4715 [01:03] well i have about 15 min to find a solution before i have to go [01:03] <_haywire_> cya kitty_ [01:03] i downloaded some usb/iso ntldr boot images [01:03] kitty_: ok so what happens if you select the windows boot? [01:03] Peddy? [01:03] but they didn't work for me, a.) no floppy, b.) no usb disk i felt like formatting and the utility required a winbloze machine to do it [01:04] it just says 'Starting ... [01:04] and freezes [01:04] What's the wild card character at the command line when doing a sudo mv -r /mylocation/? /var/www [01:04] doesn't reboot just sits there [01:04] Who was I just talking to, I believe it was peddy? [01:04] to include directories [01:04] kitty_: you could try rootnoverify (hd0,0) [01:04] Scunizi both ? and * are wildcards [01:05] i'd have to reboot, do you have any other suggestions for me so i don't have to come back here right away? [01:05] Scunizi: * usually [01:05] Scunizi, depends on what you want copying [01:05] Scunizi ? will match any single char and * will match every char [01:05] Agent_bob: thanks.. no need for *.*? (I know .. that's a windows thing) [01:05] windows was booting fine before i re-installed ubuntu (i tried to upgrade from dapper to fiesty and it blew up on my lap) [01:05] thats it really, i didtched windows ages ago so have no real experience with this [01:05] thanks all. [01:05] Scunizi no. *.* is redundant in linux Scunizi [01:06] Agent_bob: kinda figured.. :) [01:06] Scunizi, *.* works with unix shells too but globs differently to * .. *.* matches any files that have atleast one . [01:07] I'm looking for a tool with which I can prevent the user black page on the Internet visit [01:07] Scunizi and unop careful. ergex . is any single char. and .* is any char any number of times. [01:07] can anyone help me with a problem I have with compiz/kwin? [01:07] Agent_bob, . is not special with shell globs - regexen are completely different [01:08] Scunizi and unop one can use .* and match the same as * in some cases. so just take note of that. [01:08] i feel like fish out of water i decided to move to ubuntu from windows Vista i my desktop to develop my apps (.who else ehre felt the same way when you moved from Windows [01:08] Agent_bob, huh? with the shell, no way. [01:08] kenalex:i feel free with only ubuntu on my computer [01:08] Agent_bob: looks like * worked just fine in this case.. just copying all the files from a zip to /var/www [01:08] unop no with the app you are calling in the shell [01:09] I have to temporarily connect my internet to my laptop, because the WLAN doesn't work on it, when I connect the usb for the internet on my desktop to the Laptop I can't connect to the internet, I'v tries Static IP [01:09] Donaciones : $8000 USD http://gnuherds.org/pledges?id=57 [01:09] Batsmasher: what wireless device do you have? lspci will tell you [01:09] is there something better than the drawer for the toolbar? [01:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/53199/ [01:09] zelrikriando: which toolbar? [01:10] ActionParsnip, the main menu bar [01:10] Agent_bob, you're needlessly pulling in regexes here - the shell does the globbing and expands the globs accordingly when you say mv /dir/* in other words, mv doesn't even see * literally. [01:10] ActionParsnip, on the desktop [01:10] I'm going to install Mad-Wifi when I can connect to the internet from my desktop internet [01:10] Scunizi, if you read the "mv" man page, you see that mv has an option to move directories easier, something like "mv -d" [01:10] Batsmasher: ok you need the driver installing..thats what unclaimed means [01:10] vocx: thanks.. mv -r seemed to do the trick to. [01:11] and yes this is a gnome question [01:11] yeah, but first I need the internet on my Laptop with Ubuntu lol [01:11] thiebaude1: have you been using linux as your desktop for a long time now ? === AskHL_ is now known as AskHL [01:11] Batsmasher: you need: sudo apt-get install madwifi-tools [01:11] Batsmasher: get it on a wired connection til you get right [01:12] kenalex:been using ubuntu for 4 yrs, and 1 yr now without m$ [01:12] any advanced users familiar with windows managers?

[01:13] My external hard drive will not chown, will not let me copy files from it to my internal drive...what do I do? [01:13] Naomarik: it will use the one you logged out of last as default [01:13] Naomarik, how are you logging in? [01:13] unop i was telling the poor guy to be careful not to think of *.* in linux as he would in that other os. and i still believe that's a good caution. i'm not saying that you can't use dot in a shell without it expanding, i saying be careful not to cary that into other apps. regex will not do the same as bash command expansion does. i wasn't trying to start a "regex 101" discourse. [01:13] naomarik:im not an advanced user but i've used different window managers [01:14] with kdm [01:14] i used to look for tools when i was on windows to windows only apps but i they had price tags attached to them and some of them where every expensive [01:14] how do install ubuntu on a jump drive [01:14] My external hard drive will not chown, will not let me copy files from it to my internal drive...what do I do?

[01:37] ack [01:37] Ill help you [01:37] I juat had this [01:37] what is the difference between Depends and PreDepends in a ubuntu package? [01:37] swuboo: I haven't looked into it yet though. Usually those temporary conneictivity issues subside after a bit. Anyway, good luck. [01:37] hi guys, I just deleted a folder off an NTFS hard disk by mistake, is there anyway of recovering that folder ? [01:37] fodah, hi [01:37] Agent_bob: you said the command was write to ? [01:37] can i have an auto # in front of chan names in pidgin? [01:38] wait, is this your first install? [01:38] emh: you mean rdepends? [01:38] emh good Q, i want to hear that also. [01:38] ack, is this your first install [01:38] PorkSoda i don't do windows so not an expert there. [01:38] danbh_intrepid: no, I mean what I said [01:38] emh: Im curious, where do you see this? [01:38] anyone, i kind of need my fan to work after i hibernate.... [01:39] for instance apt-cache depends e2fsprogs gives PreDepends e2fslibs [01:39] Quick questions, I'm trying to use my 22" widescreen monitor with ubuntu and my monitor just reads "Out of Range". Is there a way to change the resolution ubuntu installs at? [01:39] Agent_bob: hmmm whats a good program then to burn ISO files? [01:39] PorkSoda last time i faced that particular issue, the solution was obvious, from within nero. [01:39] PorkSoda k3b [01:39] emh: I see now === niwa is now known as Moocher [01:39] k3b is that for windows too [01:40] PorkSoda it's kde but i actually like it. [01:40] I just deleted a folder off an NTFS hard disk by mistake, is there anyway of recovering that folder ? [01:40] PorkSoda there may be a windows port yes. [01:40] I'm using ubuntu 8.04 [01:40] not sure. [01:40] abe3k, look for some ntfs-undelete tool which works under windows === bderrly_ is now known as bderrly [01:41] abe3k, did you use a GUI tool to delete the files? [01:41] hardcorelinux : and run it under wine ? [01:41] Agent_bob: My friend has the file but I tried using nero and it burned perfectly and even verified the data [01:41] unop : I used nautilus [01:41] abe3k, nope run in on windows itself [01:41] I just don't know how to configure to burn the iso file [01:41] configure nero [01:42] abe3k, it might have moved it to trash - on removable drive (not sure about NTFS) trash is at /path/to/mount_point/.Trash* [01:42] brb [01:42] hardcorelinux : oh, that I'll do when I run out of solutions :D [01:42] * Agent_bob hasn't seen nero in a couple of years now. so doesn't dare guess. [01:42] heh how can i add a mirror to the system drive? [01:43] emh: well, probably you should ask in #ubuntu-motu if no one here knows [01:44] Good day. Anyone have a good read on adding more resolutions to ubuntu 8.04.01 using a PCI ATI Rage II and Dell 21 Inch CRT? [01:44] Well my friend doesn't have Ubuntu so I am having to use windows programs to burn the file [01:44] PorkSoda there is also a ##windows channel here on freenode, you can always take M$ questions there [01:44] i need a linux gpu client for folding@home [01:44] looks like no one can fix my prob? cpu fan wont always work after a hibernate [01:44] unop : I didn't find any trash folder :( [01:44] damnid [01:44] mikey: get an bios update [01:45] the comp worked fine with vista [01:45] hello [01:45] are you using qfan? [01:45] no [01:45] oh ok well at least I am not the only that had issues with nero [01:45] abe3k, there might not be one for NTFS volumes - have you checked properly? it's a hidden directory [01:45] you don't need a fan [01:46] wats da best filesystem? [01:46] fat12 [01:46] unop : yup, didn't find it [01:46] !best | AthlonFanboy1 [01:46] AthlonFanboy1: 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. [01:46] ya i kind of do, i dont like my laptop hitting critical temp [01:46] AthlonFanboy1 ext2 + journal if you like journalizing fs's [01:46] belkinhelp2: can you please add to my bug. I am no longer experiencing this issue but perhaps you may complete the information the bug team needs: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/213633 [01:46] ext2 lol [01:46] ext3 lol [01:46] mikeypizano: I had the same problem. Check for you manufacturer for a bios update ;) [01:46] athlonfanboy1:i dont know, i use thunar [01:46] get xfs or something , or zfs [01:46] filesystem [01:46] alteregoa you disagree ? [01:47] lemme go check [01:47] looks like I'll have to go back to windows and recover it >< [01:47] is one more fast/ [01:47] maybe ext4 without this backward compatibility crap will be a choice [01:47] alteregoa: ZFS exists for Linux? I didn't think so due to licensing issues. [01:48] anyone an RHCE? [01:48] licensing issues?.. well nvidia and other drivers are licensing issues too [01:48] alteregoa maybe it depends on what you do with your fs ;/ [01:48] so who cares about a FS in the kernel [01:48] cilkay, there might a port for ZFS over fuse [01:48] ok there is a bios update, how do i do it, its for windows [01:48] komputes...sure, ill do what i can [01:49] does someone know the default webdirectory for the ubuntu clutch package? [01:49] maybe the kernel gets tainted, but that what open source is it for, to make what you want on your desk [01:49] belkinhelp2: thanks [01:49] alteregoa, the kernel folks obviously care - the CDDL is not a GPL compatible license [01:49] alteregoa i care. but this is no place for a poll [01:49] unop: "might" doesn't sound like it exists today :) [01:49] hi I'm new to ubuntu and it keeps freezing on me [01:49] who cares of gpl? on your home computer [01:49] blame stallman for zfs not being in the kernel [01:49] alteregoa, i do [01:49] alteregoa again. i care. but this is no place for a poll [01:49] maybe if you use it commercial its a licensing issue, [01:49] bender do you sometimes have shutdown issu [01:49] !offtopic | alteregoa [01:49] alteregoa: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:50] soner or later the old gurus leave the way for innovative things [01:50] PorkSoda, no [01:51] anyone know how to access this http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/clutch once installed and running? [01:51] I remember when ubuntu froze on me I had a input signal issu and fix that by putting another hard drive but I don't think you have that issu [01:51] BulleT-, there is a bios update but the site says it only "Corrected: A black or blue screen will be displayed after resuming from an S3 sleep mode on computers using the ICH8 rev. B2 chip." [01:51] PorkSoda, I cant seem to find a thing that triggers the freezes [01:51] AthlonFanboy1: Do no such thing. If you don't like the GPL, don't run Linux. Just go run BSD and you can have ZFS. Anyway, I think the safest choice is ext3. It's time-tested and proven. It's also quite fast at certain things, though there are faster filesystems for other things. [01:51] chamunks, system administration synaptic-package-manager [01:52] have you tried the recovery method in ubuntu [01:52] so ext3 is the ntfs of linux? [01:52] AthlonFanboy1: I'm running ReiserFS on this machine, which is a desktop machine. I've had no problems with it but I've read enough horror stories about it that I won't use it in any of our production servers in a hosting environment. [01:52] ompaul, im looking for how to get to its webgui that its supposed to setup it doesent tell me where its path is going to be setup relative to http://localhost [01:52] mikeypizano: The changelog is realy relevant... do the update, it doesen't cost you a thing. [01:52] AthlonFanboy1, no it is the default file system you have more choice [01:53] irelevent* [01:53] yea [01:53] lucky they have a cd installer [01:53] chamunks, does not compute [01:53] what i mean is everyone recommends ext3 over the other fss like everyone recommends ntfs over fat32. [01:53] AthlonFanboy1: It's ext2 + journaling. You can mount ext3 as ext2 without any problems. It's the default, yes. Virtually every distro will support it out-of-the-box. [01:53] AthlonFanboy1, and where is this going support ways? [01:54] bender1337: have you tried the recovery method within ubuntu [01:54] If I install a VirtualBox ubuntu desktop on Windows XP host, how do I make SSH, HTTP and other ports work from the outside? [01:54] AthlonFanboy1: No, it's not like a fat32 vs. ntfs thing. The other filesystems are not as bad as fat32. [01:54] ompaul, heh well im trying to access transmission via webgui so i installed the web gui package for transmission "clutch" and i have no idea how to find it. [01:54] PorkSoda, no [01:54] cilkay heh. [01:54] cilkay: thanks [01:54] ompaul, the web gui that is. [01:55] chamunks, type which clutch in a terminal [01:55] chamunks, or do sudo apt-get update and then search with the word clutch [01:55] ompaul, the package has installed just fine [01:55] chamunks, big type type locate and then search with the word clutch [01:55] BulleT-: If it's like VMWare or other virtualization packages I've used on Linux, you should be able to use either use a routed or bridged network configuration. [01:55] AthlonFanboy1: You're welcome. [01:55] chamunks, big type type "locate clutch" [01:55] bender1337 try that when Ubuntu is booting up after the first screen I forgot what button you press but before you do it make sure you know the version of the kernel or it may not work correctly [01:56] ompaul, nothing [01:56] type which blah ???? which is hashed (/bin/which) [01:56] my kid goes to the school where your kid goes [01:56] your kid is an idiot [01:56] Is the beta upgrade program a steaming pile of crap or what? Not a single installation has worked so far. [01:56] ompaul, it would be as if i were to install phpmyadmin via repo's and didnt know that its path was http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ [01:56] err i mean 'type' is also a cli app [01:56] chamunks, don't use clutch so no idea [01:57] well bash builtin but you know what i mean [01:57] !offtopic | SurfnKid [01:57] SurfnKid: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:57] I'm having trouble with my wireless in intrepid. I ran some updates, then when I started up today I was offline. I couldn't find the network control panel, and didn't have the command network-admin [01:57] ompaul: lol wrong channel so sorry :) [01:57] iwconfig showed it connected to my AP, but I was offline. I ran dhclient3 and that got me online, but I kept getting disconnected [01:57] ompaul: soon as i finished writing i didnt see anyone typing i thought heh? [01:57] Jason, im amazed that you even got intrepid installed. Mine wont even get to the desktop [01:57] then i knew i was in the wrong chann :) [01:58] <|newbie|> Hello. Can I use repositories from Hardy for the Dapper? Some software in the Dapper's repos have very old version :-) [01:58] SurfnKid, now you really are offtopic :) [01:58] i installed intrepid after a clean install of heron [01:58] jason, i got intrepid also [01:58] Seemed like there was some other process running dhclient3, so I killed them all, and connected again by running dhclient once [01:58] ok i shut up now [01:58] ompaul, I'm so lost. [01:58] |newbie|: Not if you don't want to break your system. [01:58] voss749, I just upgraded from hardy a few days ago [01:58] chamunks, use the menu, system admin synaptic pkg manager [01:58] voss749, no CDs or anything [01:59] can anyone tell me how do use lftp over ssl? [01:59] ompaul, ok well i've got the clutch package installed through synaptic just fine [01:59] |newbie|: If there are backports for those packages, you could try them but the long-term solution is probably to upgrade or reinstall. [01:59] anyway, I buggered off, and came back to my computer fan on high because a precess named softirq or something was going at 97% CPU [01:59] anyone know what "firewall-easy" is? === dm_ is now known as DM| [01:59] my laptop woulsnt startx and and my desktop linux box never could get past the login screen. [02:00] I thought it was a hardware problem, but I rebooted into damn small linux and it's been running fine, auto-connected, and has been online for a couple hours straight now === DM| is now known as Delvien === MrBiTs is now known as MrBiTsDCF [02:00] I wonder if just reinstalling intrepid from scratch would work better? [02:01] anyone using kubuntu 8.10 or familiar with what that desktop thing is in the screenshot on the kubuntu website? [02:01] JasonWoof sorry i missed what version you have ? [02:01] Naomarik #kubuntu-kde4 [02:01] Linux works better on my notebook than my desktop [02:02] Agent_bob, intrepid [02:02] voss749: I did a clean install Intrepid from the Live KDE CD. Everything worked but networking. That same machine has no problems with Hardy. [02:02] I'll see if I can dig up some error messages from the log files [02:02] JasonWoof ah. then likely just something broke. you know that's still beta [02:02] how big should i make / [02:02] <|newbie|> cilkay, ok, now i find the good solution for me. I find http://mirror.noreply.org/pub and program which i need there. [02:02] i plan to make a /home [02:02] I found the description of Pre-Depends in http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html [02:03] Agent_bob, yeah, I know, I'm a sucker for punishment ;) [02:03] cilkay, My dell inspiron 1501 works great with hardy including wireless, of course I pulled the crappy dell wireless and replaced it with an Atheros super g [02:03] AthlonFanboy1 minimum of about 3g i would advise around 6g + other /home and possably other /var [02:03] My mic automatically goes to muted [02:03] Why! [02:03] I was in a major rush to try gnu-smalltalk-3 [02:03] voss749: Mine isn't even that exotic. It's a Dell 745 with an Intel E1000 chipset, which is about as vanilla as it gets. [02:04] i'm not sure whre to fine ndisgtk - don't see it under Sys -> Admin -> Synaptic, as per the ndiswrapper instructions. any hints? === AthlonFanboy1 is now known as NTsucks [02:04] not sure salamander did you try "sudo apt-get install ndisgtk" and see if its there? [02:04] \join ##math [02:04] !intrepid | JasonWoof ok. and there's a channel for that [02:04] JasonWoof ok. and there's a channel for that: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th!

[02:05] komputes...I hope that helps [02:05] my machine isn't connected to the internet - just frest install of 8.04 64-bit [02:05] komputes...I will be going back to XP because of this....i could almost cry [02:05] voss749: Yes, 745c [02:05] Cpudan80 heh for slash not back slash [02:05] you may wanna put a wire to it and put the machine on the internet then [02:05] belkin, why? [02:05] how do u install lynx browser on ubuntu [02:06] Tim1_ sudo apt-get install lynx [02:06] voss749.....let me give you the link of the bug report i just made...easier than repeating myself [02:06] thanks [02:06] sikki: thanks, but i cannot - no wire :) [02:06] When I try to open Computer, it doesn't let me, and says: Could not display "Computer:". Nautilus cannot handle computer:locations. [02:06] okay [02:06] thanks agentbox [02:06] And also I cannot open my recycle bin.

[02:06] 22 is a UDP port or a TCP ? [02:06] only way your gonna get that file salamander is be on the internet [02:06] im the last entry [02:07] according to docs, my netgear wg111v2 is support out-of-box with HH... but guess not ;/ [02:07] JasonWoof welcome. [02:07] sikki - i'm on another laptop, next to it. where can i get? [02:07] Agentbob. i still have to run sudo apt-get install lynx [02:07] beats me === NTsucks is now known as AthlonFanBoy [02:08] try searching google for ndisgtk it might be helpful ussually works for me when im unsure of something [02:08] ok, i'll figure it out. wish it had worked o.o.b. :) [02:08] what subdirectory should i install amarok in? [02:08] make sure you add ubuntu in your searches so you will get ubuntu related articles ussually [02:08] i'm not used to the file setup, i'm used to windows directory decisions [02:08] Tim1_ ah yeah you are building something and it depends on lynx i'm with you. [02:08] how can i find MCP tempertures? [02:08] ta agent_bob [02:09] ahhh bob lol i was wondering why the heck he wanted lynx [02:09] anyone know what obex-data-serve is? [02:09] Sikki i have seen several doing that lately. not sure what code it is tho [02:09] AthlonFanBoy: MCP? lm-sensors does a pretty good job on temperatures, but without knowing what MCP stands for I can't really guess. [02:10] Sikki but i personally use elinks as my default browser so you never know. [02:10] mcp is chipset for nforce [02:10] sikki: found it was on the cd, just not avail on disk by default. [02:10] anyone know which software has autocomplete like dreamweaver cs3? [02:10] ahh good deal sala [02:10] no one knows? [02:10] AthlonFanBoy: Ah. I've got an nForce board too, lm-sensors reports my temperatures just fine. [02:10] voss749.....i dont think ill be getting this working anytime soon [02:11] nah martin i just use the adobe products [02:11] belkin, all I can say is at least you dont have an Asus xonar dx card, they decided to put sound support for that card in the version of ALSA that will be out with ibex, instead of say bringing it out for the current ubuntu version even though the alsa version has been out for 2 months [02:12] voss749....its just frustrating because i really like linux [02:12] going back to xp ill be virus/worm paranoid again [02:12] <[wspk]^> hi everybody [02:12] hi, why will ifconfig eth0 .. setting ip address.. make the card have one ip address, but its bcast address is differnet???? [02:12] Anyone know the command to get Mad-Wifi? [02:13] belkin, as I said linux works much better on my laptop than my desktop [02:13] voss749 that's how they keep you always wanting the latest, rather than lagging behind like me. [02:13] <[wspk]^> somebody knows something about backtrack installation? [02:13] need help! I have some command called obex-data-serve running taking up 100% cpu and I can't kill the process [02:13] anyone know where I can get flash 10? [02:13] Naomarik: Can't kill it? Have you tried doing so from the command line? [02:13] i did.. sudo ifconfig eth0 10.0.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.252... and it sets the ip.. but the bcast is different from it? should it be? i did the command on another computer, and the bcast addr was the same!!! [02:13] yes [02:13] and i logged on root on another tty [02:13] ouch [02:13] and it won't die [02:14] Naomarik sudo killall obex-data-serve [02:14] Naomarik sudo killall -9 obex-data-serve [02:14] Anyone know the command to get Mad-Wifi? [02:14] belkinhelp2: it's hilarious we have the same motherboard. you think you can try te IntrepidIbex Beta Live CD before going back to xp? [02:14] killall -9 should work. I have no idea what to suggest if it doesn't. [02:14] komputes...sure [02:14] komputes...ive been at this for about a week now....one more day wont hurt [02:15] swuboo hehhe kill -9 -1 but that [02:15] Batsmasher: I had to do that formy eeepc, I have instruction, but note that i'm nor sure it will work for you [02:15] Agent_bob: using the -9 worked, what does that do? [02:15] swuboo hehhe kill -9 -1 but that's ludicris [02:15] Flash 10, anyone know how I can get it? [02:15] anyyyyyyyyyyone? [02:15] i might have asked what -9 does before i ran it [02:15] komputes...whats really funny is that this didnt work at all with hardy live CD...i had to reinstall the nvidia driver [02:15] has anyone had trouble with fluxbox and wifi? I've installed it on ubuntu and after restarting can't get wifi with either nm-applet or iwconfig/dhclient. I can see hosts with scanning but can't associate... [02:15] belkinhelp2: whats getting me is that I don't understand why I don't have the issue anymore [02:16] Komputes: Ok Thanks, Nvm [02:16] Naomarik differance in signals you send to the app. man killall for details and/or man kill [02:16] komputes...you dont have static? [02:16] do your bass-center and rear output channels work? [02:17] komputes...do your bass-center and rear output channels work? [02:17] belkinhelp2: not really,i just use stereo , not 5.1 [02:17] how would I add this repository deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/thielmann/ubuntu to my list? [02:17] Naomarik: Kill can take arguments that specify just how thoroughly you want the process killed. -9 is a particularly aggressive flag. [02:17] these manual pages are nearly impossible to decipher [02:17] belkinhelp2: at one point i got a high pitch nuzz, ihave another bug for that [02:17] not noob friendly at all ;( [02:17] komputes....what kernel are you using? [02:17] belkinhelp2: buzz* [02:18] belkinhelp2: 24-19 [02:18] hosstest:i wonder if you install flash from synaptic, if it would get rid of flash 10 [02:18] komputes...hmm [02:18] no, I want flash 10 [02:18] Naomarik, kill/killall -9 should only be used as a last-resort [02:18] komputes...what version ubunut? [02:18] 8.04.1 [02:18] all the URL on the web havent worked. [02:18] i see, well it worked in my case [02:18] Naomarik ? nah. you just need to learn to use the pager more effeciently. man less and read up on the commands within the pager. they you will be able to "search" for things within the pages. [02:18] on another note, what's a zombie process? i got a message saying one is running after logging into root [02:19] unop: last resort. Why? What type of unwanted side effect it might have? [02:19] komputes...what did you do to make the static stop? [02:19] hosstest:do you firefox? [02:19] komputes...i dont care about 5.1 at this point [02:19] do [02:19] Agent_bob: yeah i know how to search for things but some of the terms used and how they're written make no sense to me [02:19] yes [02:19] dlisboa, yes, consequences of a SIGKILL are dire -- http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html#uuk9letter [02:20] belkinhelp2: what static? like scratching? [02:20] hello, i am using ubuntu 8.04, and the time isn't correct (it's -4:00) [02:20] komputes...yeah....buzzing, scratching almost as loud as the music [02:20] belkinhelp2: In system-preference-sound mine are all set to ALSA [02:20] I have returned [02:20] unop: cool, thanks [02:20] komputes....are you using ALSA? [02:21] Naomarik zombie process is a referance to a process that is already killed but it's spawned a child process that keeps the parent process name in the process table until it exits. in other words zombies are non-process processes, that disapear when their sub-processes exit. [02:21] hosstest:i'am not sure what to say, my flash 10 works great [02:21] komputes...have a look at this link [02:21] i see [02:21] belkinhelp2: then try doubleclicking the speaker icon and in the mixer selectively mute chnnels until thebuzz goes away - this is my best guess [02:21] thanks Agent_bob [02:21] belkinhelp2: brb [02:21] komputes....http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=253725 [02:21] thiebaude: I want to install Flash 10... My question was HOW? [02:21] Agent_bob, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process that seems to be a orphan process - not a zombie. :) [02:22] thiebaude: Or where? [02:22] Naomarik don't confuse a zombie with a kernel thread tho. you can't kill them either, but they are usually inserted modules [02:22] and of course actually active processes ^ [02:22] hosstest:i googled flash 10, but i dont remember what site i got it from [02:22] What do you do if you plug a USB in and the computer doesn't see it? It is not in /dev, it does not show up in fdisk -l. [02:23] thiebaude: awesome, I am on my 12th web page, thanks. [02:23] !flash10 [02:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about flash10 [02:23] dr_willis an orphaned process is the other end of the scale. no? [02:23] (drive works fine on most machines btw, but a few of the 20 I'm working with right now do not see the drive) [02:23] * unop doesn't think that definition of a zombie process is correct [02:23] a zombie is a child process that is waiting to be reaped by its parent. [02:23] Agent_bob, orphan is one that the parent dies but not the child... zombie aparently dies differently [02:24] * Agent_bob thought that was an orphan ^ [02:24] I think of zombie processes as being an annoying side effect of the instability of flash. [02:24] thiebaude: http://rockmanx.wordpress.com/category/macromedia-flash-player-10/ [02:24] An orphan process is a process that is still executing, but whose parent has died. They do not become zombie processes; instead, they are adopted by init (process ID 1), which waits on its children [02:24] dr_willis yes exactly. [02:24] hosstest:have you seen this, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-install-flash-player-10.html [02:24] Then ya got the Vampire Processes! and the Werewolf processes.. [02:24] :) [02:25] err, I meant hosstest [02:25] don't forget daemons that are running around. [02:25] Such an EVIL OS! [02:25] Oddly enough, looks like you can get it here http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [02:25] how odd :) [02:26] wow [02:26] I have a question...well actually questions.... [02:26] I just downloaded and installed ubuntu on my system. [02:27] all seems well with the exception that my resolution still shows at 800-600. [02:27] And? [02:27] I have downloaded the correct drivers. On reboot it recognized finally the monitor: a Nokia 445Xi [02:28] it asked for the resolution and so I changed it to what I wanted 1240-1078 [02:28] on the OS load it still shows 800-600 without any changes [02:28] hubar:the suspence is building :) [02:28] what am I doing wrong? [02:28] lol [02:29] next time I will just type! LOL! [02:29] is there a terminal command i can use to go through my /home folder and wipe out ever instance of ehthumbs_vista.db? [02:29] I assume you've tried using the display dialogue? [02:30] That was directed at jevero. [02:30] Any one using 8.10 beta on a netbook yet? [02:30] not sure what you mean [02:30] I am new at this. [02:31] unop ok i stand corrected on the name of zombie and orphin. you are correct. [02:31] that was to swuboo [02:31] belkinhelp2: did you download drivers from nvidia? [02:31] yes [02:31] komputes....yes [02:31] at least according to wikipidia which is not the final authority by any means. [02:31] actually [02:32] anyone know where the clutch conf file is stored in ubuntu? [02:32] komputes...not using ALSA. Driver works with OSS. I blacklisted snd_intel8x0 [02:32] jevero: There should be a dialogue somewhere in the System, Preferences menu that will allow you to change your resolution. Mine appears to be missing, which is a little strange. [02:32] is there a way i can limit the find function to my home folder recursively? [02:33] belkinhelp2: I think you followed improper directions. I would definitely do the intrepid live CD test and report your findings on the bug page. [02:33] swuboo, AH. yes I do have one. it is under system- preference- display resolution [02:33] find ~/ [02:33] jevero: Ah, found. System - Prefernces -Screen Resolution. [02:33] chamunks was clutch a .deb installed ? or a command from within another package ? you can search for files within a package with dpkg -L package.name | less === no is now known as zaid-therion [02:33] Agent_bob, yep via synaptic im testing it out in my vm before committing to my server. [02:33] swuboo: I tried to change it there, shows two res 800-600 and 640-480 [02:34] Agent_bob, i figured giving my vm test server a gui might make testing a little bit more streamlined [02:34] jevero: That's unfortunate, but not the end of the world. [02:34] komputes...i followed these instructions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=253725 [02:34] anyone know where the "Plugins" folder is to install flash10? [02:34] swuboo : great! [02:34] chamunks then the global config should list in dpkg -L [02:34] jevero: What you'll probably need to do is open up xorg.conf and manually add the resolution you want. [02:34] What would be a good program to burn .bin/.cue files? [02:35] for Firefox, that is. [02:35] jevero: havr you tried 1280x1024? [02:35] swuboo: Open terminal and type the command? [02:35] hosstest, i would think the best plugins dir for a single user would be under the .firefox (or was it .mozilla) directory. that way youjust have that beta flash for that single user. [02:35] Agent_bob, dpkg -L clutch? [02:35] GreedyB, i hear that k3b can burn them [02:35] dr_willis: Thanks [02:35] chamunks yeah [02:36] Agent_bob, well thats a friggin handy little command! [02:36] chamunks dpkg -L clutch | grep etc/ maybe. [02:36] jevero: xorg.conf is a configuration file, rather than a command. [02:36] belkinhelp2: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/beta/ download the 32bit live dvd and boot from it, checking some audio in the live environment without installing it [02:36] chamunks yep [02:36] What's the significance of the size of my loopback file for a pen drive install? [02:36] I Agent_bob I really need to learn how to use grep properly [02:37] Hello [02:37] Agent_bob, that thing allways seems to escape me but seems to be used by most ppl trying to help me un-noobify myself. [02:37] chamunks me too. but for now i'll just keep using it impropperly :))) [02:37] jevero: It's generally located in /etc/X11. If you do a quick google search, you shouldn't have much of a problem figuring out how to modify it. [02:37] hm.. after installing ndiswrapper - and the requisite .inf file for my usb wireless - i don't see an option for wireless anymore under "networ" [02:38] chamunks when all else fails pipe through | less [02:38] komputes....ill test this out tomorrow morning [02:38] 4gb [02:38] wow [02:39] What's the significance of the size of my loopback file for a pen drive install? [02:39] Will I need to reinstall from a CD to upgrade to 8.10, or will it be available via an update? [02:39] Agent_bob, do you think ubottu has a factoid on grep? [02:39] zaid-omega: Theyre always available as upgrades as well. [02:39] Flannel:thanks [02:40] !cli | chamunks a good start here [02:40] chamunks a good start here: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [02:40] chamunks man man # there are man pages for most commands and some config files. [02:41] swuboo, thanks. will do! [02:41] is there a nice HD visualizer app like iTunes 8.0 has? [02:41] Agent_bob, i've become pretty good lately but this will make for good study material. [02:41] chamunks indeed. [02:41] jevero: Good luck. I had to do the same thing when I got a widescreen monitor a few years back. [02:41] Agent_bob, i especially like the "sudo gobbledegook blah_blah -w -t -f aWkward/ComBinationOf/mixedCase/underscores_strokes/and.dots" [02:42] Any one try 8.10 beta on a Acer Aspire One? [02:42] Quick question: recently I installed envyng and now my application title bars - where the minimize/maximize/close buttons are - is acting all funny, like it will go transparent and all distorted and then back to normal [02:42] Any ideas? [02:42] I uninstalled the packages [02:42] hello to all [02:42] chamunks heh. you like supreem wierdnessism ? mkdir ' [02:42] ' [02:42] hi, can anyone find a workaround for this to run on Ubuntu? http://teenspirit.artificialspirit.com/ [02:43] Skky: you sure it's not desktop-effects since that's what desktop-effects does [02:43] skky unless you are using compiz and have some weird theme/settings going on. [02:43] ok, i need to free at least 2 GB for my gusty upgrade temp [currently on feisty].... what packages are > 100 MB? [i've already marked ooo for removal at about 300 MB] [02:43] I have not touched any desktop effects settings/packages since installing a fresh copy of ubuntu [02:43] Agent_bob, mhmm but it has to be supreem! [02:43] that is. [02:43] the only thing i've installed is the envyng trying to get dual monitors to work [02:43] Skky: they get active automatically when you install a nvidia/ati binary driver [02:44] Oh, ok. What do you suggest I try/ [02:44] is there a way to search and/or sort installed packages by size? [02:44] tonsofpcs: You can order packages by size in Synaptic if I remember correctly. === midnightRmbler is now known as PCB_guy [02:45] swuboo: really? how? [02:45] tonsofpcs: Open up Synaptic, go to installed packages, and then click the "Size" box. [02:45] If I install a VirtualBox ubuntu desktop on Windows XP host, how do I make SSH, HTTP and other ports work from the outside? [02:46] swuboo: i don't see a size box...

[02:46] Skky: you can disable it by clicked the desktop effects on the menu [02:46] Agent_bob, well thanks for the boost i've got some playing to do. [02:46] chamunks welcome. and good luck to your pinguin. [02:47] tonsofpcs: It should be one of the categories listed at the top, in between "Latest Version" and "Description" [02:47] kitche: will that disable anything else that came standard with the installation? [02:47] swuboo: i don't see it... [02:47] Agent_bob, I've got a small armi of pinguinz. === kancerman_ is now known as kancerman [02:48] chamunks flock. [02:48] tonsofpcs: I'm not sure what to suggest, then. Mine's always had it, and frankly I wouldn't even know how to turn it off. [02:48] chamunks the flock you say.. [02:48] anyoneeeeeeeeeeeE?????????? crossover networking help?? ubuntu 8.04. crossover cat5e cable. setup the nic ip's and internal netmasks.. but now it wont work? it worked fine an hour ago... ?????? [02:48] Skky: shouldn't [02:48] Agent_bob, even my girfrend commands her own pinguin. [02:48] BulleT-: Give your ubuntu VM a unique IP. [02:49] Agent_bob, supprizingly she enjoyes it verry mooches. [02:49] BulleT-: Then the rest is same, treating your VM just as another computer in your house. [02:49] anyone know if there is a tool to select default audio device? [02:49] is there a nice HD visualizer app like iTunes 8.0 has? [02:49] Can someone pleae help me set up Dovecot in #dovecot? [02:49] WDC: no [02:49] kitche: where do I find desktop effects? I must be blind but i've looked through all my menus [02:49] So... can I install ubuntu on a flashdrive? I dont want a persistent live install from a live cd, but rather a full install of ubuntu [02:49] chamunks tov, but we best get back to support or go elsewhere ompaul might put on the funny looking magical hat and kick us out of here if we dont. ;/ [02:49] bruenig Why Thanks for nothng [02:49] a plugin for rhythmbox would work just as well [02:50] WDC: not a problem [02:50] vlc has a new and better version out... how can I use it in ubuntu? [02:50] sls: wait 6 months [02:50] Can someone help me configure Dovecot [02:50] sls: ubuntu is not in the business of updating software in between releases, except for security reasons [02:50] bruening, ouch! why?!?! [02:51] bruening, that stinks... [02:51] Agent_bob: any idea what would cause a 2nd monitor to function correctly with twinview, only problem is the background doesn't redraw itself after a window is moved around [02:51] Skky: should be in Accessories or the Admin I don't use ubuntu so I m just going from memory really [02:51] sls: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html [02:51] sls crap. release every 6 months. and you want new versions between ???

[02:52] How can i make port 411 and 22 work on a vbox ubuntu guest ? [02:52] sls: also remember vlc is not the same as the older versions [02:52] Skky: install simple-ccsm then goto system -> prefs -> appearance then click on custom and preferences. [02:52] Agent_bob: new versions of software, not a big deal really, many smaller distros do it. The issue is not with being able to do it, it is a philsophical issue concerning "stability" [02:52] kitche that is why i want it. [02:52] I can use it on Windows and Mac but not on my Ubuntu box... [02:52] Agent_bob, agreed wahl thanq once again. Time to travel further down the pinguin hole. [02:53] sls: ok it will just look ugly on a gtk desktop though you been warned :) there is a vlc package in a PPA [02:53] the new vlc is qt based [02:53] The instructions here say that I should run dd and mkfs.ext3 on a file that is the route of a partition. But then surely the file will have to be a directory, in which case, I can't run dd on it?

I dont want a persistent live install from a live cd, but rather a full install of ubuntu. if i partition and install on the thumbdrive, will it be bootable? [02:54] kitche, do you know the repository url... so I dont have to download six million different debs? [02:54] lena: depends on the bios of the computer you are using [02:54] lena it can be done. i have a usb key with ubuntu on it. === FutureWife is now known as assertivepoet [02:55] sls: nope it's in the ppa's on launchpad.net though not sure which one [02:55] The bios supports booting from usb drives === assertivepoet is now known as c00led === c00led is now known as not-grubbot [02:56] swuboo: is there a console command that can list them with sizes? [02:56] lena you have to watch out for a few things the device addressing can change from box to box and boot to boot. so you have to setup fstab and "the boot loader you use" to use UUID= addressing. other than that it's pretty streight forward. i just copied a working system over and tweeked it. [02:57] tonsofpcs: Without doubt, but I don't know what it is. [02:57] Son of a.... I am back to no audio on flash in firefox.

[03:00] lena i used the vfat boot partition option and syslinux but that's not the only way. if you want more control you might make it a grub bootloader but i'm not sure how stable that would be with address changes. seeing that grub uses bios to find it's files.

[03:02] anyone please ??? [03:02] Intel HDA - I am having some troubles with my sound. The sound is extremely soft - and you can barely hear it, even with everything set to full.

[03:04] :))) [03:05] or rather, i installed ndiswrapper, and installed a driver, and now the "wireless connection" option is gone. [03:05] was looking in a mirror, messed me up [03:05] hah [03:05] sic0 sorry. i do that a lot too. it's not that i don't know my right from my left, it's just that when i type it, it comes out all "lysdexic" [03:06] swuboo, tried it, I am not able to change it. Once I do, it does not allow me to save it. States that "Could not save the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [03:06] My ex actually did confuse right and left when she spoke sometimes. More than one that nearly resulted in my driving into a tree. [03:06] jevero: Did you open the file as root? [03:06] nope [03:07] open it using gedit [03:07] jevero: Try opening it with gksudo gedit. [03:07] jevero save to home and sudo cp to /etc/X11 ? [03:07] is it possible to make your middle mouse button scroll like it does in windows...the wheel works but not the button itself [03:07] I have an Intel HDA card, and my sound is extremely soft, and it is almost impossible to hear. It occasionally fixes itself, but then it goes bad again after a reboot. [03:08] swuboo more than one methood of epidurmal removal for felines. [03:08] kitche: I un-installed pulseaudio and still no sound in flash. Any other suggestions? I am using a USB Headset. [03:08] Agent_bob: Very true, very true. jevero: Basically, you just need to ensure you have root authority to modify the file. [03:08] headcheese: did you close and open firefox again? [03:09] kitche: yes [03:10] drumstyk1 you mean basicially 'disable' the middle clicking? - you could remap the key i guess.. but i use the middel button too much to even think of that. :) [03:10] any of you fans of picasa? [03:11] dr_willis but you can still have it emulate three button and "both" click to paste. [03:11] is there anything like gmailFS that works on ubuntu? [03:11] Agent_bob, yep. :) [03:11] dr_willis: actually i am trying to enable it... right now my mid mouse button works to paste but not to scroll :( [03:11] i love picasa [03:12] swuboo, rebooting the system [03:12] now the 'middle click to scroll... feature i HATE' i am always accidently doing it under windows.. and the wife hates it also. :P [03:13] drumstyk1 most prefer paste for middle click in the *nix world. but like i said you can set the real middle button to scroll and emulate three button "both click" to paste. not sure how stable that is tho. [03:13] Any way to make apt-get tell you what version of a package it would download before downloading? [03:13] MS/windows took over what has been the middle click feature. and turned it into an annoying scroll feature. heh. [03:13] oh i see, i guess that is a trade off [03:14] perhaps i just need to get used to it if that seems to be the preferred way for most [03:14] GreedyB sure. err let me view man apt-get and i'll find it shortly after you do. [03:14] :) [03:15] GreedyB, you could use apt-cache to tell you which version is the best candidate - but obviously before you use apt-get [03:15] hmm ok Ill give that a shot [03:16] GreedyB -s ? [03:16] my amarok threw up on me and now my sound won't work. is there a command to nuke it so that i don't have to restart right now? [03:16] GreedyB, there should only be one version of the package you are apt-getting in the repository in the first place so why would you need to specify a version? [03:16] Agent_bob, ^^^ [03:16] csilk, there could be multiple versions - i.e. in the case of security updates [03:17] drumstyk1: killall amarok? [03:17] csilk you can specify versions with apt [03:17] unop, would you want a previous security fix as appose to the latest one? [03:17] well... when I read about some software I usually go to the home page and see the version... I wanna see if the version is the same in the repos [03:17] thanks bobertdos [03:17] csilk: Security patches break things occasionally. There can be reasons. [03:17] csilk, sure, some security fixes break other things [03:17] csilk we have even been "officially instructed to install an older version of xorg, when an update was bad." [03:18] I see [03:18] alright, anyone know why my laptop goes crazy when i so much as brush the touchpad? [03:18] GreedyB anyway apt-get install -s package [03:19] Naomarik wrong mouse protocal [03:19] in the xorg.conf? [03:19] ^ my guess anyway. [03:19] csilk, you can also have multiple candidates if you've enabled third-party or supporting repositories like medibuntu [03:19] <[mando]> has anyone had any experiences with DNS exit? I was looking for something like the dyndns 'custom dynamic hosting' where i own my own IP, and it is the closest thing i can find to it.

[03:23] Flannel, did you have an idea of why that would be happening to me? [03:23] I've seen some programs have dll's [03:24] Flannel, groups returned justin www-data [03:24] andresj:i wonder if you can copy and paste the url into totem from a youtube video [03:24] lol. dlls in linux? hardly. [03:24] bindjp: That's unusual too. Is this a normal user? [03:24] dll's in Linux is a bit out of place [03:24] but possible I guess [03:24] kezdeth: guess you never really looked into some games [03:24] Flannel, yeah normal user as far as I know [03:24] except in GNU/Linux they're called .so files :P [03:25] kezdeth dll == dynamicly linked library. not a *.dll but a lib pfft. [03:25] dll are fine if the App is Mono [03:25] Flannel, is there some way I can check if he's normal? [03:25] bindjp: Because you've messed up the normal groups users are in by adding it incorrectly to www-data, did you use usermod with -G? [03:25] njae. [03:25] vet inte. [03:26] Has anyone thought of consolidating the setup screens by adding several settings in one window? Such as having a button to change the default settings for partitioning, keyboard, etc. in one window? [03:26] !se | MaxJays [03:26] MaxJays: Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du pa #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se [03:26] Flannel, that is how I added him to that group. Maybe I should create a new user and see? [03:26] sorry [03:26] unop, yeah sorry, i read in the wiki that only one major version of software is stored in the offical repo, i wasnt thinking bug fixes and security fixes etc [03:26] bindjp: You forgot to add the -a to the end, so you *replaced* the groups with www-data.

[03:26] thiebaude: haha im not sure... let see [03:26] kitche, how so? [03:26] Agent_bob: he doesn't have them. [03:27] so, even an install through windows, directly from the image does the same freeze. freezes after 'loading kernel' and i get the blinking cursor in the left.

But its a lot eaiser to use adduser. [03:28] Flannel, I will try again and see what I get [03:28] is rhythmbox lightweight ? [03:29] bindjp: Is this the only user with admin privledges you have on that box? [03:30] Flannel, no this second user that I was hoping could do some website changes [03:30] Moocher: Well, xmms2 and audacious are lighter, but RhythymBox is certainly lighter than, say, Amarok... === crackhead is now known as xjohnthomasx2 [03:31] Flannel, when creating a user on the command line what is the best command to use? I just tried adduser justin2 and it only created a justin2 group [03:31] bobertdos i like sox [03:32] bindjp "best" is subjective. [03:32] can anyone help me with a crossover network setup with ubuntu? it says "network is unreachable", and i have no idea why!!! [03:32] bindjp: adduser is the easiest, yes.

[03:54] joshuajtl: because it's not a security update [03:54] idk [03:54] i thought make was a necessary prequisite for make install? [03:54] xjohnthomasx, it's better to keep things in herre - other people can contribute that way - and it could possibly help others who read the logs.

[03:55] Batsmasher, cd dirname [03:55] joshuajtl: nothing but you could check backports but I doubt it be there, maybe gimp has a package for ubuntu [03:55] Batsmasher you leave the tarballs alone until you can cd without asking.

[04:04] xjohnthomasx, well, if the physical link is up, but arp does not resolve the other machine's addresses - all I can think of is it's possibly a problem with the kernel module, you could try unloading and reloading the kernel modules for nics. [04:04] EvilDaemon: maybe /etc/init.d/bonobosomething, but i doubt it [04:04] kill -9 bonobo-activation-server [04:04] xjohnthomasx, yea, a reboot would do the same thing [04:05] HELLO [04:05] EvilDaemon: It's probably better to use use kill rather than kill -9 [04:05] IS ANYBODY OUT THERE [04:05] EvilDaemon, kill -9 only as a last resort [04:05] unop more than one iface and defaulting to the wrong one ?

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:06] Agent_bob: i have wireless and also ethernet on each, at least. [04:07] Agent_bob, errm, no , i just think the module might be behaving badly - i've seen the same happen with one setup i had once with X-over cables - reloading the modules fixed it. [04:07] unop: i did the restart. still giving me the same result of destination host unreachable. [04:07] xjohnthomasx, hmm [04:07] unop: im going to restart again, and use a slightly older kernel [04:07] xjohnthomasx2 just for kicks you might ifconfig down the wireless on both and then ping. [04:08] Agent_bob: i took the wireless adapter out of the source computer. [04:08] xjohnthomasx, are you sure you got the IP addresses down correctly? can you verify that [04:08] i wil.. rebooting.. [04:08] xjohnthomasx2 . [04:09] ok [04:09] * Agent_bob forgets that "reboot will fix anything" [04:09] I have madwifi-0.9.4.tar.gz extracted on desktop, how do i make it? [04:09] hey guys I think one of my drives isnt being auto mounted and is only accessible once I click on a icon for it [04:09] Batsmasher: cd to the directory [04:10] Batsmasher: i would suggest putting it in home, just so you can keep the files there w/o it being ugly ;) just my 2 cents... [04:10] GreedyB add it to /etc/fstab [04:10] Batsmasher: then: sudo make [04:10] unop: rebooted to older kernel. still same issue. destination host unreachable.. this doesnt make any sense!! [04:10] Batsmasher: then: sudo make install [04:10] that's it [04:10] FAJ sudo for make yuch. [04:10] FAJ: ok thanks [04:10] xjohnthomasx, let's verify your IP configurations [04:11] ok.. [04:11] Agent_bob: i literally compiled madiwif 2 days ago, it wants sudo for make. [04:11] source computer: eth0 10.0.1.1... bcast 10.0.255.255.... mask 255.255.0.0..... [04:11] FAJ: why did you compile it? (It's distributed with ubuntu by default.) [04:11] FAJ then i wouldn't make it. [04:11] how do i allow a connection from my lan to a specific port? if i nmap i see the port open but when trying to connect from another comp in the network it doesnt work. uwf is disabled and iptables are all empty. whats blocking the connection?? [04:12] destination computer: ip 10.0.1.2...bcast 10.0.255.255... mask 255.255.0.0 [04:12] both up and broadcast running multicast... [04:12] unop: get all that? [04:12] Hilikus_ what's listening on that port ? [04:12] xjohnthomasx, yea, does ifconfig report only those interfaces as up? are there any others? [04:12] Installing acidbase and acidlab in ubuntu from the repositories doesent seem to set up virtual hosts automatically does anyone know anything about this?

[04:13] unop: source comput::: eth0... and then lo.... [04:13] Hilikus_ nothing has to block a port if nothing is listening on it. that's all i was getting at [04:13] Agent_bob it is listening, if i telnet to localhost to that port on that computer it works [04:13] tritium: well all i know is that my card is working; and it wasn't working w/o the madwifi installed. [04:13] unop: destination:::: eth0... wlan0.... lo... [04:14] Hilikus_ then i'd say the client is malconfigured [04:14] xjohnthomasx, take wlan0 down here for the time being [04:14] Agent_bob its no client, im testing it with telnet to that port [04:14] tritium: if you would like to troubleshoot it with me to get it to work correctly; then i would love to too ;) [04:14] FAJ: did you start with the wiki documentation? [04:14] also, telnet to port 80 works, so i know they can talk, but something on my ubuntu machine is blocking the lan connection to that specific port [04:14] !madwifi | FAJ [04:14] FAJ: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:15] unop: done [04:15] hi, I have an application that only runs from the terminal, so I created a launcher to start it, my little problem is that everytime I start the launcher I see my application and an empty terminal window, my question is: how do I automatically hide the terminal window when the application starts ? [04:15] xjohnthomasx, on the source computer, does route -n report a route for 10.0.0.0 pointing down the right interface .. likewise on the dest [04:15] Hilikus_ ok you totally lost me. 1 "what is blocking port #" 2 "nothing is blocking port # , vecause i can telnet to it" 3 "what is blocking port # ? i'm using telnet to test it." what did i miss ? [04:15] lol I'm really sucking, do I change the directory to the tar.gz cause if so I cant!? [04:16] xjohnthomasx, ideally, you should only see one route [04:16] tritium: my wifi card's chip is not supported right now: atheros ar5416 [04:16] unop: what do you mean? route -n produces... 10.0.0.0... gateway 0.0.0.0.... genmask 255.255.0.0... U... 0 0 0 eth0 [04:17] xjohnthomasx, is that the only route? [04:17] unop: i also see 192.168.0.0.... gateway 0.0.0.0... 255.255.255.0... wlan0.. [04:17] FAJ: you're certain? You tried the modules under /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/madwifi/ ? [04:17] Agent_bob 1) yes, 2) nothing I CAN SEE (i.e. iptables or ufw) is blocking it, 3) i can telnet to A DIFFERENT PORT ON THAT MACHINE (i.e. its not that the machines cant see each other) [04:17] lol I'm already confused [04:17] tritium: i dunno what that does ;) [04:18] xjohnthomasx, are you sure you took wlan0 down? because you shouldn't have that second route there [04:18] i did... sudo ifconfig wlan0 down [04:18] FAJ: one minute, please [04:18] Hilikus_ telnet to the port locally. [04:18] tritium: k, we can pm if you're ok w/ it [04:18] CUPS-obsessive people in here ? [04:18] Agent_bob that works, thats why i told you that there IS a daemon listening on that port, the same port i can not connect from the other machine [04:18] xjohnthomasx, try this. sudo ifdown wlan0 #then check the route table again [04:18] anyone ? [04:19] can anyone tell me the file directory for madwifi-0.9.4 if its in the home folder [04:19] unop: [04:19] Hilikus_ ok what's between the two boxen ? [04:19] unop: says interf wlan0 not config [04:19] Hilikus_ physical route ? [04:19] tritium: there is nothing in the dir you pointed me too. [04:19] Agent_bob router [04:19] Prose: "CUPS-obsessive..." What does that mean? [04:19] how do I disable the touchpad on my laptop under ubuntu 8.04? [04:19] Hilikus_ there's your answer [04:19] tovella: anyone that is obssesed with CUPS [04:20] xjohnthomasx, ok, that means it's down - still have the route for it ?? [04:20] Agent_bob i already tried forwarding the port and it still doestn work [04:20] abe3k: did you tell it to start in terminal ? [04:20] !touchpad > tiggers [04:20] tiggers, please see my private message [04:20] unop: yes [04:20] abe3k: as in "run in terminal" ? [04:20] Prose: yes [04:20] Agent_bob theres nothing extra that i dont know of in ubuntu that could be blocking ports?? [04:20] xjohnthomasx, ok, sudo route del -net 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 gw 0.0.0.0 [04:20] Prose: I use CUPS every day, but I'm not obessesive about it. [04:21] Hilikus_ if you can locally telnet to ip:port but you can't remotely telnet to same_ip:same_port and iptables is clean, obvious answer is whatever is between the two boxen is blocking the sig. [04:21] Agent_bob ok [04:21] thanks bobertdos [04:22] tovella: does "parallel port busy; retry in 30 seconds'' sound familiar ? [04:22] unop: something wrong with your syntax [04:22] abe3k: well then the app will start in terminal, as specified [04:22] xjohnthomasx, what's it complaining about? [04:22] no idea.. it gives a huge list of inet_route.. [04:22] Prose: Not to me...I use USB & Network Printers. [04:22] abe3k: right-click it and go to permissions and select the option where it can be executed [04:22] Agent_bob, I tried adding what I thought should be in fstab but it didnt work when I restarted [04:22] tovella: hum ok [04:22] Prose: ...ethernet, I mean. [04:23] GreedyB show me the line [04:23] tovella: hum I get that message when my printer is plugged in the USB port [04:23] Prose: isn't there any command that hides the terminal window ? or even minimize it ? [04:23] tovella: well there is a button on the terminal window [04:23] If i'm in terminal and its at /home/batsmasher/ do i cd to /madwifi-0.9.4/ or /home/batsmasher/madwifi-0.9.4? [04:23] i installed eclipse for C++ and it didnt add a menu entry [04:23] abe3k yakuake f12 :))) [04:24] how do you start it [04:24] xjohnthomasx, hmm, try changing mask to netmask -- sudo route del -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 0.0.0.0 [04:24] unop: looking at the route command? it said basically "usage".... [04:24] unop: ok, one route in route -n [04:24] Prose: Do you mean the gnome-terminal window? I don't have such a button. [04:24] Agent_bob: f12 opens up my cdrom door xD [04:25] xjohnthomasx, ok, now, assuming the interface with the cable in is eth0. sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0 [04:25] tovella: sorry I addresses my message wrong :( [04:25] xjohnthomasx, same thing on the other machine too [04:25] tovella: I mean when you go to 127.0.0.1:631 [04:25] abe3k not using yakauke ? [04:25] abe3k: there is a minimize button on the terminal window, in theory [04:26] abe3k, you could use the window menu which is invoked by alt+space [04:26] Prose: Do you mean under "Printer State"? [04:26] tovella: indeed :) [04:26] unop: sudo ifdown eth0 ............. rtnetlink answers no such process... [04:26] hello , i need a os that use minimum of ram , and support deb file and have a xfce desktop, can you help me ? [04:26] so i did sudo ifconfig eth0 down [04:26] and then sudo ifconfig eth0 up [04:26] yeah? [04:26] xjohnthomasx2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:27] xjohnthomasx, is that the only line in the error message? [04:27] I really appreciate your suggestions guys, but I want to know of any command line that'll hide the terminal window for me [04:27] unop: yeah [04:27] xjohnthomasx, hmm, let's hope it's nothing - yea, your ifconfigs should be ok [04:27] Prose: All my printers say "Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published." It sounds like your printer may be miss-configured. What model is it? What tool did you use to configure it?

[04:28] unop: ping of no use... "connect network is unreachable" [04:29] onemorevoice: sounds like your video drivers aren't correct [04:29] or unsupoorted [04:29] yeah [04:29] tovella: yeah thats the thing, it worked yesterday, as all does before not working. Just today, out of the blue, it stopped.. I used 'lsusb' and it was seen so I'm guessing it's physically connected [04:29] what is weird is i think it's only with the new version of xorg [04:29] what is the command to rebuild xorg ?

[04:38] hello. i installed mythtv and it's collection of dependencies, but i no longer need it. is there a way to remove mythtv and the packaged that only it depends upon? [04:38] is there a seperate command from "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to reconfigure the video drivers? All it seems to be doing is asking me about keyboard config.

[04:43] i want to know what signal 112 [04:44] hvgotcodes, the tune2fs command can do that I Think... it can tune most everytying else.

[04:44] Palace_Chan: you might need to look that up in the kernel source [04:44] dr_willis i thought that was a sysctl thang ? [04:44] hvgotcodes, if that command cant do it.. You may want to check its man page. it may suggest other tools. [04:45] Agent_bob, may be.. ive never wanted to tweak that specific setting.. Not sure why you would want to. [04:45] .. it is likely something #define'd in the signals header file [04:45] I'm in Argentina, and my clock jumped an hour forwards (changed timezone to DST); however, it's supposed to start on the 19th (according to the Intertubes) [04:45] dr_willis so a lappy drive don't spin up every ?? seconds.

[04:46] Agent_bob, never noticed it being an issue.. of course if you actually are USing the laptop... :) i guess it dont matter. [04:46] dr_willis on slackware i set mine to not sync at all automaticly. the hd would power down and set there until i issued a "sync" command.

I thought the journel got updated as it was used.. it wouldent just wait a while then update it... [04:46] Prose: Ahh, OK. [04:47] or else we are confusing several related 'things' again.

[04:47] Prose: in any case, I would still do something to improve you backups, just in case you're hard drive is starting to have problems. All hard drives fail, eventually. [04:47] tovella: yeah I figure also [04:48] PovAddict: what version of Ubuntu are you using? [04:48] dr_willis actually i don't think it was ext3 on that setup. ext2 but anyway. it let the hdd power off until actually needed. [04:48] neftune: hardy [04:48] tovella: not sure how o proceed though... RAID is too complicated for me at this point [04:48] actually [04:48] tovella: so something like Clonezilla ?

[04:48] jeeves__, i ssh in, and install vnc4server, then run 'vncserver' as needed [04:48] neftune: I just posted to the tzdata mailing list [04:48] headcheese not in gdm. gdm is the login manager. [04:49] jeeves__, vnc shareing the 'current' desktop is just one limited way it can be used. :) [04:49] is anyone running ubuntu 8.10? [04:49] Storrgie: whats the problem? [04:49] PovAddict: what time are you getting? I get 01:49 [04:49] Agent_bob: Awesome, thanks for the clarification. How can I make a partition for extra data, if I have unused space?

[05:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/54105/ [05:02] FreshUbuntuNoob: you can try out wmii if you don't mind something new... i've never looked back since i first tried it [05:02] FreshUbuntuNoob: you want just a different *decorator* without changing your window manager (compiz)? [05:02] FreshUbuntuNoob: not sure [05:02] PovAddict: well, maybe not. is clarin.com a big/respected news site in argentina? [05:02] PovAddict, perhaps we are confusing what we mean then.. http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Plugins/Decoration only lists 3 [05:02] neftune: yes [05:03] PovAddict, Yes. Emerald crashes every 2 hours and compiz-decorator has a weird refresh problem [05:03] dr_willis, what am I connecting to it with? [05:03] dr_willis, I've tried a VNC client, but it didn't work [05:03] jeeves__, any vncclient app you want. I use ultravnc for windows.. [05:03] anybody else already trying out 8.10beta on xubuntu? if so is anybody else having issues with firefox crashing much more frequent than before? [05:03] sifunk, As long as it doesn't get on my nerves [05:03] sifunk, Is it available in the repos? [05:03] jeeves__, be sure to give it the ip and port # of 1 [05:03] jeeves__, ip#:1 [05:03] dr_willis, syntax? [05:03] Naomarik: restart your machine and try again [05:04] vncserver ip#:1 [05:04] ziroday: this occrus after restarts [05:04] i've actually had this problem several restarts ago [05:04] dr_willis, whats it called in apt-get? [05:04] hmm I can only find full window managers [05:04] Ziro: Did not work.... [05:05] Ziro: Installed and reinstalled Gstreamer which is the correct one [05:05] Fiz, 'vnc4server' is what i use [05:05] Ziro: brb [05:05] jeeves__, oops..i think i got the wrong name for the vncviewer [05:05] hi [05:05] dr_willis, lol. that might make a diff [05:06] how to put the password on a folder ? [05:06] HI! [05:06] Ziro: you there? [05:06] i want to make a folder password protected [05:06] oy vey [05:06] dr_willis, I'm getting a "conneciton refused" [05:06] jeeves__, look at apt-cache search vncviewer :) thers a few neat tools in there. Ive not noticed some of those befor [05:06] pk1122: you can't [05:06] jeeves__, be sure to use the right ip and port. === phoenix is now known as tiggers [05:06] jeeves__, also bne sure the vncserver IS running. [05:07] dr_willis, small problem with vnc4server the config is all gui based [05:07] jeeves__, do NOT just use the hostname. Unless you can ping it.. [05:07] Ok, then let me tackle the base problem. With Envy, I get weird issues, when some items on my screen, like a GUI update of e.g. new text coming up somewhere, isn't refreshed properly. It only refreshes about 1/5. Is this a known issue with Nvidia? [05:07] i only have ssh to the server [05:07] PovAddict: because clarin.com is showing 02:07 [05:07] how to change the password of the user [05:07] Fiz, Huh? I can configure vnc4server with out any gui.. i dont even know of a gui to confogure it. [05:07] pk1122: remove permissions for other users (chmod 600) and rely on your user account password to protect you [05:07] dr_willis, how? [05:07] digitalfiz@digitalfiz-desktop:~$ sudo vncconfig [05:07] vncconfig: unable to open display "" [05:07] Fiz, you ssh in, run vncserver, edit the .vnc/xstartup as your need for your user first. [05:07] dr_willis, I can see the server [05:07] PovAddict, how should i change the password ? [05:08] Fiz, ive never ran vncconfig. :) Not sure what there is to confiogure it.. i just tweak the xstartup file [05:08] i say again lol anybody have trouble with firefox 3 crashing more recently after xubuntu 8.10beta installed? [05:09] neftune: wonder what OS they run ;) [05:09] Fiz, vncconfig - does very little actual configuration.. Its just a utility for clipbpard and other features. it seems [05:09] ah [05:09] reyrey: you might not wanan go beta if your not ready for possible problems... [05:09] reyrey i'll say again #ubuntu+1 for the beta software. [05:09] ok well i started vnc4server so now im installing ultravnc to connect === fr500__ is now known as FR500 [05:10] PovAddict, how should i change the password ? [05:10] agent_bob true but like everything in beta you can't just say oh there is no fix cause its beta.. its beta cause we looking for fixes and in this case am simply askng if anybody has found a fix yet being its going to be stable in 20 or so days [05:10] PovAddict: I have no idea about this site, but http://www.tn.com.ar/ too [05:11] Fiz, a common issie people have with 'vncserver' is that if you run it several times.. you WILL have several instances going, be sure to kill any you dont need with' vncserver -kill :#' in case things seem weird [05:11] pk1122: given your questions, I'll guess you don't know enough to use the terminal; and *I* don't know how to change it from the GUI [05:11] supra [05:12] ok, here's my next question...I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, so how do I get mp3's to play? [05:12] has anybody managed to get handbrake/rippedwire to install on xubuntu? [05:13] rickzilla: should work in rhythmbox [05:13] With Envy, I get weird issues, when some items on my screen, like a GUI update of e.g. new text coming up somewhere, isn't refreshed properly. It only refreshes about 1/5. Is this a known issue with Nvidia? Example Screenshot from Firefox on Wiki: http://img65.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotrh3.png [05:13] or just about anything [05:13] neftune: it's from the same group, sort of [05:13] anyone know the specific command to change your video drivers? reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't appear to show an option to change video card [05:14] dr_willis, what do i need to do in the xstartup or whatever cuz when i start the server it starts but i cant connect to it [05:14] E: Couldn't find package linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.27-4-generic [05:15] Any help.... [05:15] Need this package. === kiosk is now known as LADY [05:15] Fiz, edit the file. and make it load a window manager thats actually installed.. it defaults to 'twm' which isent even installed. [05:15] niccholaspage, Isn't that the latest unstable build of the kernel? [05:16] Fiz, i perfer icewm, or jwm, for my vnc sessions [05:16] whats installed in ubuntu gnome right?

[05:22] i dont think i have aptitude, so apt-get [05:22] Fiz, be carefull to NOT use the hostname - unless your hosts file is correct, or othersize you can access the machines by hostname.. use ip# if in doubt.

[05:29] DBurke, You have vesa driver inuse [05:29] DBurke, It doesn't support Compiz [05:29] i'm trying to change the screen resolution, but my option is not even listed [05:29] it only has crappy ones listed [05:29] Fresh: I know that, but the only reason why that driver is in use is because I had ubuntu tried to configure itself. [05:29] maybe i have to tell ubuntu which graphics card i has [05:30] I have an intel card. [05:30] I don't know how to tell it to use that driver again. [05:32] DBurke, Sorry, I have no experience with Intel Graphic cards. My old PC has it, but I don't even know/care what it runs :) [05:33] dr_willis, ty for all your help :) [05:33] Fresh: Do you know how I might specify to ubuntu what card I'm running? [05:33] Fiz, ive twiddled with vnc for years. :) its an amazing tool [05:34] Fiz, read the 'vncserver' script (its what you run, but its just a large script for the most part) - it has some neat info [05:34] If I enter it in xorg will it have what it needs to use that information? aka Will it know what drivers to use if I just enter the name of the card in? [05:34] dr_willis, will do :) [05:34] I am trying to sudo cp -a /home/* /mnt basically copy all of my /home to a new /home partition that I made and it errors out saying that I dont have permissions to copy .gvfs [05:35] headcheese: you should use rsync -aS instead of cp [05:35] quit [05:35] leaving [05:35] dr_willis, can i attach it to an already running wm? [05:35] DBurke, the xorg.conf has a Section with your Video Card, and driver used for that Video Card. If you do mess enough with xorg, your GUI might not even boot [05:35] danbh_intrepid: thanks I will try that, what does rsync do? [05:36] headcheese: its a backup command, that has allot of features [05:36] danbh_intrepid: Still getting "rsync: readlink "/home/headcheese/.gvfs" failed: Permission denied (13)" [05:36] Fiz, not really. Theres some ways to do it. but its always been sort of flakey to try to do that. [05:37] Fiz, gnome and kde both CAN do it. since they have their own vncserver feature built in. [05:37] guess i should look into gnomes vnc stuff eh [05:37] this works but id like to see whats on the desktop [05:38] Fiz, but thenyou have to login to gnome first,, and start the service... and if you cant login to gnome on the remote box... well... [05:38] does linux have apps like Dream weaver to aid in website design ? [05:38] Fiz, you could just run gnome-session from the xstartup file [05:38] !html > kenalex [05:38] kenalex, please see my private message [05:38] Fiz, or you can make vncserver spawn as needed, and show the GDM login screen [05:38] headcheese: you could pastebin the whole command you are using [05:39] danbh_intrepid:i know html. i just want to know if there are any tools aid in the desigining of websites ? [05:39] danbh_intrepid: really no need, just sudo rsync -aS /home/* /mnt [05:40] headcheese: try sudo rsync -aS /home/. /mnt/. [05:40] kenalex: did you look at the message that ubottu sent you? [05:40] yes i have been to that site [05:40] ok im at wits end trying to make this ATI driver work right in feisty [05:40] so there no tools like dreamweaver ?

I used the latest driver for my card off their site, followed all the tutorials, and now ogre3d's samples are all messed up in color [05:41] @vasilia, first you need to find out if it's actually your driver [05:42] Dusty_: I turned compositing off, i ran aticonfig.... [05:42] kenalex: did you see the list of tools? [05:42] @vasilia, take a screenshot and see if your screenshot shows the funky colors [05:42] Dusty_: Well, i donwloaded the one for my card [05:42] ok [05:42] it was working fine earlier, now I can't hit my router at all [05:42] @vasilisa, if the screenshot shows the funky colors, it's your drivers, otherwise it's your monitor [05:43] en1gma, its 'export PATH' using $PATH subsututed the value for the variable in your command. [05:43] no [05:43] ok let me try [05:43] Dusty_: Funky colors in screenshot: check [05:44] ok so it's your video card(which is actually a good thing in this case) [05:44] hi i need help [05:44] en1gma, its not really going to hurt anything, but you should see whats setting that extra dir in there.. and fix it. [05:44] dr_willis, 'export PATH' returns zero results [05:44] i need help following the instructions on this site : http://www.jamminnet.com/rockbandguitarandlinux ... [05:44] first example tells me to make something [05:44] Dusty_: www.vasilisagames.com/shotz.png [05:44] how do i do this? [05:44] en1gma, you should read up on bash a little... and how PATHS and enviromental variables work [05:44] @vasilisa, what video card are you using ? [05:44] Dusty_: ATI X700 [05:45] dr_willis, i was just following a guide [05:45] en1gma, export PATH - exports the PATH variable to all child processes.. [05:45] but i agree with you [05:45] Dusty_: Unfortunately [05:45] @vasilisa, is that a benchmark utility you have running ? [05:45] en1gma, if you want to set the PATH, then set it.. export PATH='set/the/new/path/here' [05:45] headcheese: have you checked permissions on that file? maybe even root does not have read permissions or something [05:45] Dusty_: A what? [05:45] Dusty_: Its one of the Ogre samples. they all do that [05:45] ohhh [05:45] @vasilisa, onr your screen, you have a FPS counter and other such things [05:46] Dusty_: Yeah they put those in there [05:46] @vasilisa, was wondering if that was some kind of benchmark utility [05:46] Dusty_: Thats part of the program. [05:46] dr_willis, and it will create a new "PATH" that will be added to $PATH? [05:46] en1gma, and to see the current path use . echo $PATH [05:46] I have 1500~ files that I need to compress into .zip files seperately, anyone have a solution? [05:46] Trying to copy a folder to /usr/src in GNOME, permissions denied [05:46] What's the workaround? [05:46] wait [05:46] wait [05:46] en1gma, No.. it will set it exactlyu to what you tell it to. [05:46] i think i told you wrong [05:46] @vasilisa, does that program using direct x to render those images or openGL ? [05:46] en1gma: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I didn't login as root at startup [05:47] do you see how there is a duplicate [05:47] #struts [05:47] danbh_intrepid: yes, I have tried taking ownership and everything, I dont think I can change the permissions to that file.

[05:47] What's the copy command in terminal?

[05:48] en1gma, :) and even having the dupes.. isent going to hurt anything [05:48] enaner, i would use 'sudo vi /etc/modules' :) use whatever editor you perfer. [05:48] Distort1: i am no script expert, but i can give you some guidance. its all about "for this - do that" concept [05:49] i thinking [05:49] jim_p: The most I've scripted is a "Hello world!" app, which I can't even remember how to do. >< [05:50] danbh_intrepid, headcheese, Please read this, it might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=791693 [05:50] dr_willis, now how do i add lines to that [05:50] i need help getting my notebook wireless working again....

[05:50] Lame, I cant even copy properly [05:51] dr_willis, can you name me another editor besides vi [05:51] a one thats simpler [05:51] enaner, the trick to rember is you MUST edit the file as root, thus the need for 'sudo' or 'gksu gedit /etc/modules' [05:51] enaner, try nano [05:51] Trying to copy a folder from \home\brad\dev to \usr\src using cp in a root terminal [05:51] But, doing something wrong...

[05:56] ./config ./make ./makeinstall [05:56] en1gma, its doing what you are telling it to do.. if you ran PATH=$PATH:usr/local/cuda/bin 100 times you would have 100 duplicates at the end..

[05:57] danielson: yea [05:57] en1gma, so use 'export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/cuda/bin' [05:57] I'm trying to do some basic command line file browsing but I keep getting told that I can't open etc/apt/sources.list [05:57] jim_, there is no configure [05:57] ok 1 sec [05:58] This is a kernel source tree, btw [05:58] There's kbuild [05:58] en1gma, or if you have a PATH without the extra bin at the end.. use what you did earlier.. ONCE.. and only once.. [05:58] ? [05:58] SaEeDIRHA: can you delete that email account and remake it? [05:59] oh i see how export works now....if you use 'export PATH' it adds and if you use 'export PATH=' it changes it [05:59] en1gma, Err.. NO...... you are failing to understand whats going on. :) [05:59] yea i think so [06:00] jim_p: i cannot even check my Emails now! [06:00] en1gma, Nothing adds, unless you export it with addational stuff on the end. [06:00] en1gma, export PATH=$PATH:THIS/GETS/ADDED [06:00] en1gma, note the use of $PATH [06:00] SaEeDIRHA: :( you can use some undlete program then. how did you delete that folder? [06:00] ohh [06:01] well then wait [06:01] en1gma, $PATH just gets expanded to the current PATH [06:01] I'm trying to do some basic command line file browsing but I keep getting told that I can't open etc/apt/sources.list [06:01] jim_p: it is not a folder [06:01] it is just a MBOX file [06:01] 'export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/cuda/bin' [06:01] en1gma, if PATH= 'export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games' [06:01] which keeps incoming emails, and when u check them it passes them to ~/mailbox/ folder [06:01] then export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cuda/bin [06:02] SaEeDIRHA: ok then, how did you delete it? [06:02] dr_willis, http://pastebin.ca/1219572 look at that [06:02] accidently as i mentioned before [06:02] en1gma, is the same as as what we did earlier.. [06:02] hi there [06:02] I'm trying to do some basic command line file browsing but I keep getting told that I can't open etc/apt/sources.list [06:02] have you tried sudo [06:02] ? [06:02] SaEeDIRHA, Is MBOX client side or server side? [06:03] yes and then I get an error about my theme in Firefox [06:03] I don't figure out, why atd takes 90% of CPU on my laptop, 2 cores 1600mhz, 1GO RAM [06:03] shocker: /etc/apt/sources.list note the 1st slash [06:03] ubuntu hardy [06:03] en1gma, so? :) its saying the same as ive been saying... You dont have to 'export PATH' on the same line as you set PATH.. [06:03] FreshUbuntuNood: what do u mean? it is my mail server [06:03] try using sudo nautilus [06:03] and i use Thunderbird to access my mailes [06:03] en1gma, PATH=$PATH:NEW/PATH/GETS/Added/To/The/End [06:03] /usr/share/themes/Darklooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:181: Invalid symbolic color 'tooltip_bg_color' [06:04] en1gma, export PATH [06:04] /usr/share/themes/Darklooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:181: error: invalid identifier `tooltip_bg_color', expected valid identifier [06:04] SaEeDIRHA, Is the mbox file stored on server, or on client? [06:04] is the same as export PATH=$PATH:NEW/PATH/GETS/Added/To/The/End [06:04] on a server [06:04] is what I get when I type sudo cd.. [06:04] yea i get it i think [06:04] en1gma, pay close attention to the use of the $ :) and when its not used. [06:04] FreshUbuntuNood: i didnt even know that it is possible to save it in client side [06:04] yep yep [06:04] is what I get when I type just could not open file '/etc/apt/sources.list' [06:04] bash: cd..: command not found [06:05] shocker, use spaces where needed. his isent dos. [06:05] cd .. [06:05] Or ---> alias cd..='cd ..' [06:05] but thats a bad habbit. :) [06:06] or just use '..' :) [06:06] SaEeDIRHA, http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/faq#export [06:06] oh shoot! thanks guys [06:06] shocker: actually cd is used for changing FOLDERS, it wony open you sources.list [06:07] I know, but I keep a sources.list error for some reason [06:07] * dr_willis uses cd to change 'directories' :) [06:07] othereise it would be 'cf' wouldent it heh... [06:07] dr_willis, thanks for the help [06:07] i just tried it a couple time and that $ is the key...you are right [06:07] en1gma, time to track down some bash tutorials/basics books. :) [06:08] en1gma, yep. [06:08] Bash Basics.. well.. sort of. [06:08] its really gonna be bad cause i have to track down some C++ and some CUDA too [06:08] who was helping me, lol [06:08] me [06:08] i think i need to upload google to my brain [06:08] en1gma, i have no idea whta cuda even is [06:08] cuda is for running C++ on a GPU instead of CPU [06:09] parallel computing [06:09] en1gma, sounds like somthing i will never need. :) [06:09] me either probably [06:09] now I'm unable to get into my apt dir [06:09] dr_willis, never say never. It comes back to haunt you :p [06:09] Hey Everyone [06:10] i have 2 vcards that are 8800gts g92s and i just want to see them do some real work besides gaming [06:10] FreshUbuntuNoob, i am 40 yrs old. and i can honestly say.. im never going to get into 'programing' as anything other then a light hobby. :) [06:10] FreshUbuntuNoob, Its more fun to do tech support in irc! [06:11] when I try sudo cd apt I get "sudo: cd: command not found [06:11] : [06:11] dr_willis, Until you start tearing off your hair, b/c people don't know the Gnome doesn't have a Start Menu :p [06:11] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=938298 [06:11] shocker, i cant think of any need to do 'sudo cd' [06:11] shocker, you don't need to do a sudo cd [06:11] FreshUbuntuNoob, im allready 'training' people at work on linux. [06:12] if I do just sudo apt I get "bash: cd: apt: Permission denied [06:12] " [06:12] FreshUbuntuNoob, im hard-core to them :) [06:12] ok, one last time....today my wireless stopped connecting, and I can't get the connection back...can anyone help? [06:12] sorry cd apt [06:12] shocker: apt-get [06:12] yikes, lots of people here [06:12] Geoffrey2, Could be a little more specific? [06:12] shocker, why are you typing commands that dont exist? and stuff? what are yoyu trying to do exactly? [06:12] I asked this a lnog time ago and did get a commit submittsed in proposed and release [06:12] *released [06:12] I'm trying to access the dir where my sources.list file resides [06:13] shocker, then you go to /etc/apt/ [06:13] how does one get a patch whichis released from proposed to a main branch? [06:13] shocker, cd /etc/apt/ [06:13] shocker, then you use 'sudo WHATEVER' to alter the files IN that directory. [06:13] I get "bash: cd: /etc/apt/: Permission denied [06:14] " when I type that [06:14] shocker, you got some odd permissions set up then [06:14] wolfe: you dl the .patch file and patch the source code with it [06:14] any ideas dr willis? [06:14] shocker, if you want to edit the sources.list youc an do it without being in that directory... sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [06:14] FreshUbuntuNoob, I changed to a different login theme to try and fix a bug, restarted and found that was worse...somehow I got logged in and switched back, when I restarted and logged in I could no longer get my laptop to establish a connection or get an ip address from the router [06:15] jim_p: well, this has to do with the fucked up Xen package with Hardy [06:15] #218126 [06:15] err... no url bot in here I guess [06:15] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/218126 [06:15] hello [06:16] hiranotaka's packaged worked, ubuntu needs to release it mainstream, not just let it sit in -proposed [06:16] When I type in 'displayconfig-gtk' and try to test my resolution settings I get a screen that is full of a dot pattern with a window asking if I want to keep the resolution. The window looks okay, but I want to make sure that if I accept the resolution it isn't going to screw anything up. It displaying the dot pattern rather than my desktop is a little scary... [06:16] I've already edited it using gedit, now I'm just trying to get to the dir to delete the backup that I created and no longer need [06:16] the default xen package does in fact cause the specific issue listed in the bug report, even when all pacakges are updated [06:16] it needs to be fixed [06:16] I'm having some issues with my touchpad, this just started today - after 30mins or so of using my laptop the touchpad becomes erratic and I need to reboot.. is this a xorg conf issue? [06:16] wolfe: cant you upgrade from proposed?? [06:16] err, I mean released to main [06:17] jim_p: I don't like to use packages in proposed [06:17] I like to install stuff on a system and have it automatically work. [06:17] shocker: Try typing ls -l /etc/apt [06:17] if the package works, then it needs to get pushed [06:17] wolfe: upgrade just that one and disable the repo after [06:17] jim_p: I downloaded it manually with wget ;) [06:17] though its kind of a burden, I thought I was causing xen to mess up [06:18] I get "ls: cannot open directory /etc/apt: Permission denied [06:18] " when I type ls -l /etc/apt/ [06:18] use sudo [06:18] xD [06:18] shocker, sudo rm /etc/apt/whateverthefilenameis - but theres no need to worry about an extra archive copy laying about [06:19] wolfe: doesnt it install with depk -i? [06:19] wolfe: *dpkg -i [06:19] shocker, you could drop into a rooot shell with 'sudo -s' but that CAN BE DANGEROUS.. :) use with care.. and 'exit' out of it asap. [06:19] i need help with the proxy configuration with the x-chat i cant acces to settings, im new to this [06:20] hi all [06:20] * Geoffrey2 sighs [06:20] good morning :) [06:20] <_haywire_> what's good about it? [06:20] can anybody look at http://pastebin.com/m6c10bdfb [06:21] I'm currently 'make'ing a 2.6.24 kernel [06:21] perfect! thanks dr willis [06:21] I dont think I need to make install, I just need kernel libraries to link against for custom driver development [06:21] on line 444 dpi is calculated correctly based on provided DisplaySize [06:21] Sound good, what will 'make install' do? [06:21] but then on line 633 seems that screen size is setted to value different from provided DisplaySize [06:21] is there a supported downgrade method for ubuntu? as in keep just data files in /home that are non-specific to Apps [06:21] why? how can i tell xorg not to do that? [06:21] I did it using the rm command wo dropping into sudo -s, just FYI [06:21] shocker, i do have to wonder what changed the permission of your /etc/apt directory its normally drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K 2008-09-28 00:31 apt/ [06:21] as a result i got dpi 96x96 after X is started and ugly narrow and tall fonts [06:22] here's the ls -l of the files: total 40 [06:22] drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2008-07-11 22:15 apt.conf.d [06:22] -rw------- 1 root root 0 2008-10-04 22:37 secring.gpg [06:22] -rwx------ 1 root root 3055 2008-10-05 00:53 sources.list [06:22] -rw------- 1 root root 3329 2008-10-05 00:52 sources.list~ [06:22] drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2008-07-11 22:15 sources.list.d [06:22] shocker: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:23] shocker: Try that again, but with pastebin, please. [06:23] how do I use pastebin? [06:24] !paste [06:24] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [06:24] paste total 40 [06:24] drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2008-07-11 22:15 apt.conf.d [06:24] -rw------- 1 root root 0 2008-10-04 22:37 secring.gpg [06:24] -rwx------ 1 root root 3055 2008-10-05 00:53 sources.list [06:24] -rw------- 1 root root 3329 2008-10-05 00:52 sources.list~ [06:24] drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2008-07-11 22:15 sources.list.d [06:24] shocker: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:24] after 30mins or so of using my laptop the touchpad becomes erratic and I need to reboot.. is this a xorg conf issue? this just started happening today [06:24] shocker: No! [06:24] welcome back [06:25] hi prekrasnaya [06:25] shocker: Go to http://paste.ubuntu.com, paste all of that output in there, and give us the url, please. [06:25] someone needs to teach shocker how to use ctrl-c :P [06:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/54128/plain/ [06:26] I'm completely stumped on trying to get any version of suspend or hibernate to work. No matter what I do, when the system starts up it boots as if it was shut down normally. I don't even know how to start debugging this. [06:26] is that better? [06:26] shocker: much, thank you [06:27] sorry [06:27] does anyone know of an app that sends a MSN message from the command line? i want to do something like app "hello" or something and the app would login with a configured user, send the msg and log out [06:27] Hilikus: you mean you want to make a spam bot? ^_^ [06:27] lol [06:27] wolfe no, of course it can only send msgs to people in its contact list [06:27] shocker: Actually, could you ls -l /etc, please? [06:28] . /exec -o ls -l /etc ;) [06:28] j/k [06:29] how would i format an external hard drive with a fat32 and an ntfs partition? [06:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/54129/plain/ [06:29] there she be [06:29] DrPepper, use a fdisk tool, like fdisk, or gparted to make the partitions, 2 in this case.. one thats fat32, then one thats ntfs. and use the mkfs.XXX tools to format them. or let gparted format them [06:30] DrPepper, linux can read/write ntfs very well these days.. theres proberly not a lot of need for fat32 [06:30] alright, i'll give gparted a chance next chance i get, thanks [06:30] well [06:30] ok....i guess the answer is give up for the night [06:30] i have windows xp and mac os x on my computer [06:30] Some extra packages may be needed to do the ntfs formating. [06:30] Hi I have a little question about bash scripting, what is the correct syntax to print "done" at the end off the script? [06:30] Are there any working arounds for flash intermittently refusing to play video in 64-bit hardy? [06:31] I thought NTFS write was still very limited. [06:31] and i have some addon that allows ntfs read/write for mac os x, but the write speeds are horrendous [06:31] but then i also need to store files larger than 4GB, so yeah... [06:31] E.g., I seem to recall creating directories was not supported. [06:31] DrPepper, i thought osx can read/write ext2/3 [06:32] kevinmark, i make dirs all the time... [06:32] not natively unfortunately :/ [06:32] shocker: Type the following: chmod -R 755 apt [06:32] i had to get an addon for that too [06:32] DrPepper, such a friendly OS eh. :) [06:32] haha, i know [06:33] in another year i'm gonna give this damn laptop to my sister for college [06:33] mac os x is way more trouble than it's worth for me [06:33] I get chmod: cannot access `apt': No such file or directory [06:33] holy moly I like downthemall but what a massive memory leak it has... [06:34] shocker: Are you in /etc? [06:34] DrPepper itl's a nice OS however can cause you from time to time a serious headache [06:34] Hi I have a little question about bash scripting, what is the correct syntax to print "done" at the end off the script? [06:35] Im in shocker@shocker-desktop:/$ [06:35] How can I get PAL TV output from an intel graphics card using a VGA to Composite adapter? [06:35] shocker: cd /etc [06:36] paul68: 'echo "done"' [06:36] without ' [06:36] ok thanks [06:36] shocker@shocker-desktop:/etc$ chmod -R 755 apt [06:36] chmod: changing permissions of `apt': Operation not permitted [06:36] chmod: cannot read directory `apt': Permission denied [06:36] sudo? [06:36] shocker: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:36] shocker: yes [06:37] k, it did it. Now what? [06:37] shocker, rember.. 'potentially system destroying commands need sudo' :) [06:37] oh, I'm aware of that much lol [06:37] shocker: did the command work (not give you any errors)? [06:38] dr_willis or as i like to put it it "all the fun stuff needs sudo" [06:38] k, I can get into it now. Was it just a matter of permissions? [06:38] and if ubuntu asks "Are you really sure you want to do this?", the answer is most likely NO.... [06:38] shocker: yes, somehow group and user had no permissions for that directory whatsoever. [06:39] so, that's not normal, I assume? [06:39] Does anyone know if Intrepid will feature 'dust' as the default look/theme ? [06:39] shocker: nope, not normal [06:39] Geoffrey2 aw, but it's no fun when they say "NO" :D [06:39] Cause I've just been looking at screenies of dust and I must say, its the first time I've looked at an Ubuntu desktop and thought, "now THAT looks good !" [06:40] hmm, I've been having a lot of 'that's not normal" stuff go on for some reason. am I in for a re-install? === arbeck is now known as arbeck77 [06:41] DrPepper, unless you're the fool (like me), who said "Sure, do it anyway".... [06:41] hahahaha [06:41] shocker: Well, with Intrepid not even a month away, I'd just wait at this point if you can tolerate the way things are now. [06:42] I'm having trouble mounting a USB flash drive... it shows up in my list of drives under my computer, there are no obvious errors in dmesg, but I can't browse to it [06:42] speaking of which, am I gonna have to re-do all my pkgs and settings with the Intrepid? [06:43] DrPepper, that's when you're glad you have the iso burned to a cd [06:43] is there any risk of doing testdisk? have a "unrecoverable" harddrive, & am trying to get it working again [06:43] "unrecoverable" according to chkdsk [06:44] shocker: Well, if you want, you can save your personal data from your home directory. I suppose you could use aptoncd if you really wanted to preserve your packages, but I think Intrepid may have some new versions. It's up to you. If you're interested -> [06:44] !aptoncd | shocker [06:44] shocker: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [06:45] I would, however, like my wireless back before intrepid ships.... [06:45] shocker: You could also do a direct upgrade if you wanted, but with your current install in such a weird state, that's probably a bad idea. [06:45] well I want the updated versions, but will I have to go hunt them all down again? [06:45] <_haywire_> cya shocker [06:46] later haywire [06:46] shocker: Yeah, pretty much, but really not EVERYTHING is going to be new. [06:47] ah, screw it. who am I kidding? I need the practice [06:47] ok, i'm off...i'll stop in tomorrow and try to find someone who knows wireless.... [06:47] if I wanted to change my partitions, would it be wise to do it when Intrepid comes out or is that way more in-depth? [06:48] anyone have some help for this? [06:48] http://pastebin.com/m55fa0ee6 [06:48] is there a particular brand / model of webcam that anyone would recommend as extremely likely to work 'plug and play' with 8.04.1? [06:48] hi, i set up nginx via apt-get, and it installed fine except it hung at the end of the install so i had to kill the process. now i am trying to install proftpd, and it is insisting on trying to complete the installation of nginx and hanging. what do i do? [06:48] shocker: Nah, that'd be as good a time as any. Just back stuff up so you don't risk losing what's important to you. [06:49] haydnc: check the fsf.org website [06:49] Hey guys I just got ubuntu 8.10 and im glad to say it supports broadcom! [06:49] that's what I was thinking. how would I go about doing that without having an OS on the tower? [06:50] shocker: You should make yourself a Live CD or order one :p [06:50] whats the terminal cmd for cpu information [06:50] thanks danbh_intrepid, I'll take a look [06:50] slipp3d: Where are you getting that error? [06:51] So if you have broadcom wireless problems switch to 8.1o [06:51] how much diff will there be between my livecd and one I order? any? [06:51] Dusty left :< [06:51] shocker: I found the cd i ordered ran much smoother... [06:51] shocker: None, but the mailed ones tend to take quite a while to come. [06:52] actually the ones i ordered ran much more smoother than the ones i made. [06:52] hmm, thanks guys. any idea how long? [06:52] It may because of cd quality [06:52] yeah probably [06:52] hackintosh411: true, there can be a lot of variables there [06:53] bobertdos: [06:53] anyone know the terminal command to get cpu specs? [06:53] bobertdos: yes the more expensive the higher quality [06:54] hackintosh411: So answer me this, do the ordered ones come on metal CD's as opposed to dye? [06:55] bobertdos: excuse me? I don't know what you are saying [06:55] well, thank you for all ur help bobertdos and dr willis. I plan on coming back w all sorts of questions. U were all a great help [06:55] hackintosh411: I mean do they come on "official" CD's as opposed to recordables? [06:56] bobertdos, I get this error when I log in... [06:56] borbertdos: I think. I'm not quite sure. It may be official they do put a sticker label on the frotn. [06:57] ok, i bought a usb wireless, but haven't been able to get it working more than intermittently. it supposedly works out of the box with ubuntu. not so, i guess. can anyone tell me for sure one that will? [06:57] All you ubuntuers, please be aware.... for ATI cards, not using Envy to set up your system is madness! [06:57] hackintosh411: Okay, in layman's terms, do they come on silver CD's? [06:58] anyone good with virtual machines and ubuntu? [06:58] bobertdos: They come in silver cd's with a label on the front that says UBUNTU 7.04 or what ever you ordered. [06:58] d0htem, what are you doing? [06:59] slipp3d: I see, well we should probably do what the error suggests. In a terminal, type stat -c %a .dmrc [06:59] hackintosh411: Oh, so they are metal, I'll be darned..........:) [06:59] Hello. I have a Panasonic KX-P1150 printer which I can't get to work under Hardy. It's not detected automatically and I can't install it manually via System -> Administration -> Printers; it's not shown in the list (although the printer makes a sounds when the list is being generated). [06:59] bobertdos, it says 777 [07:00] just experimenting, i tried qtemu and it was decent, i dont have support for kvm , and i havent tried virtualbox yet [07:00] d0htem, I know that I use virtualbox ... both at home and at work [07:00] ill take a go at it [07:00] Accroding to this http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Panasonic-KX-P1150 , the  eps9high driver should work, which seems to be provided by foomatic. But I can't get foomatic to work either: http://pastebin.com/m53d08960 [07:01] slipp3d: Alright, type chmod 644 .dmrc === rux_ is now known as TedRuxpin [07:01] So far in the short time of using ubuntu 8.10 I have found 0 glitches [07:01] ok [07:02] How do I install flash player using the terminal? [07:02] how it [07:02] how it's the performance? [07:02] What is the Code for it. [07:03] i am trying to run sudo /proc/cpuinfo and i get command not found [07:03] sorry gustavo, guess no one is around who knows printer stuff [07:03] slipp3d: Then, just to be thorough, type chown $USERNAME:$USERNAME .dmrc [07:03] rebel_kid, sudo cat /proc/cpuinfo [07:03] slipp3d: Then see if you get that error again. [07:03] k [07:04] brb [07:04] hackintosh411: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [07:04] bobertdos: Thank You [07:05] hackintosh411: Technically speaking, we shouldn't help you with Intrepid, but since you're not really having problems yet and know what you're doing, well........;) [07:07] bobertdos: lol, I was really bad with gusty and got a little bit better with hardy. I am using intrepid to see if every one of my drivers would work and yes it did. Now im free from windows vista! [07:07] bobertdos, nope same error [07:08] slipp3d: Did chown give you any errors when you tried it? [07:08] nope no errors [07:08] slipp3d: Okay, now a little more info: type ls -l | grep .dmrc [07:09] I gotta head out its 2 am and i need some sleep. [07:09] nothing bobertdos [07:09] See you guys later. [07:10] slipp3d: okay, then just pastebin ls -l, pretty please :) [07:10] how can i view voltages and power stuf from comnd line [07:10] and other diagnostics? [07:11] what folder do you want the ls done on? [07:11] slipp3d: home [07:11] Hello, I picked up an LG Chocolate which is registered by lsusb as "ID 1004:6000 LG Electronics, Inc. VX4400/VX6000 Cellphone". It is not showing up in the fdisk list though. I'm not sure if it is even compatible with Linux; I'm simply trying to access its memory as a disk but I don't know how to mount it. [07:12] I'd appreciate any suggestions. [07:12] ??? [07:12] what> [07:12] ? [07:12] drwxrwxrwx for that folder [07:12] how to view voltages and such? [07:12] scientus_: Well, the /proc directory contains a lot of files containing system info. lm-sensors would be a good package to use for that kind of stuff too. [07:12] ok i havnt tested ethernet but unike windows its likely to work [07:12] brb [07:13] slipp3d: Your home directory is 777?? Are you the owner? [07:13] i can't figure out what my /dev/sdd1 is! how do i figure out which device is this 1 gig of storage? [07:13] !device [07:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about device [07:13] yes [07:14] maybe my mouse has 1 gig of storage or something bizarre like that [07:14] Sonja: Try unplugging the mouse and see what happens [07:14] is 450 W enough for Dual vid, quad phenom 4 HDs and a CD drive? [07:14] Sonja, 'sudo fdisk -l' might give a clue [07:14] a Mouse/usb thumbdrive.. that would be neat. :) [07:15] slipp3d: Is your username folder 777?? [07:15] a Mouse with a little usb hub built in under the hood.. for a thumbdrive.. thatd be cool [07:15] drwxrwxrwx 62 slipp3d slipp3d 4096 2008-10-05 00:06 slipp3d [07:15] dr_willis: They exist. Check out Razer and one of the MS notebook mice [07:15] how can i search inside the contents of the files?? [07:16] TeslaTony, i recall a mouse ages ago that had a 'numpad' under its shell. :) [07:16] Cool-Nick: grep [07:16] bobertdos: what grep? [07:16] TeslaTony, i had a 'force feedback' mouse that could wiggle/vibrate also :P [07:16] !grep [07:16] dr_willis http://paste.ubuntu.com/54138/ [07:16] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [07:16] Sonja, and that is? [07:16] dr_willis /dev/sdd1 doesn't seem listed [07:16] Sonja, odd.... [07:16] it's the command you told me [07:17] maybe if i reboot it wil disappear? [07:18] i'll try rebooting brb <3 [07:18] bobertdos: can you give me an example of how i can search inside the contents of files in a folder using greb? [07:18] bobertdos: *grep [07:20] hi peeps, i am getting 10-13 FPS outside in wow and it sucks lol [07:21] Cool-Nick: Type man grep in the terminal. That will give you all the syntax you need to know. The simplest example would be something like: grep hello myfile [07:21] If i stare at one direction i get higher FPS but when i turn camera fps just instantly drops [07:22] !WoW [07:22] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [07:22] silly question--is there an easy way to run/cron security updates/patches on server...there must be, but unsure of the process with ubuntu/debian [07:23] SteckelBud: You mean just installing updates? [07:23] The sound doesn't work with some applications [07:24] SteckelBud: like run update daily? [07:24] like Rythimbox, Pidgin [07:24] Cool-Nick: Are you running Hardy? [07:24] when i reboot the sound works, but after some times it stops in some applications. What to do? [07:24] can anyone tell me where to find the file /etc/apt/sources.list ? [07:24] jim_p: yeah- daily/weekly--just intalling only the security junk automatically [07:25] I'm having some issues with my touchpad, this just started today - after 30mins or so of using my laptop the touchpad becomes erratic and I need to reboot.. is this a xorg conf issue? [07:25] tmapj: under the Filesystem, or just get there via the terminal. [07:25] thanks [07:25] !touchpad | Shak- [07:25] Shak-: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [07:25] didn't know if I still had to execute following, restar daemons, etc...especially if it's a php/apache update or something of that sort. [07:25] bobertdos: yeah [07:25] SteckelBud: add a bash script that does the updateds in /etc/cron.daily [07:26] thanks bobertdos [07:27] jim_p: would something like this do it: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" or would it have to be more specific? [07:27] bobertdos: so...? [07:27] Cool-Nick: When that happens, you can type: sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart to try and restart the sound. Otherwise, try switching System->Preferences->Sound and gstreamer-properties to ALSA. [07:27] if it says ALARM after lines in 'sensors' is that bad? [07:27] scientus_: probably... [07:27] SteckelBud: inside the script you need to put "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [07:28] cause it says that after like every line [07:28] jim_p: great--thanks, I will do that! [07:28] I thought i saw somewhere to auto update/install updates... but i cant rember where now. [07:28] SteckelBud: wrong. without sudos, it will ran with root privileges anyhow [07:28] oohh gotcha! [07:30] bobertdos: I have in Sound capture: ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture, and in Device: HDA Intel (Alsa mixer). Please check if this is correct. And how can i switch gsteramer-porperties to ALSA? [07:31] Cool-Nick: type gstreamer-properties into the terminal [07:31] bobertdos: are my settings correct first? [07:32] Cool-Nick: yes [07:32] bobertdos: i did write that in terminal and i got a window [07:32] Hi Guys [07:32] I m new to ubuntu [07:32] Need help [07:33] Cool-Nick: Okay, is Playback set to ALSA? [07:33] New2ubuntu808: best way to get help is to ask questions! [07:33] need help [07:33] guys [07:33] New2ubuntu808: Don't ask to ask, just start your questions. [07:33] bobertdos: do you mean Default Output? [07:33] Cool-Nick: er, yeah :) [07:34] bobertdos: no, Autodetect [07:34] Cool-Nick: Okay, well set to Alsa then. [07:34] bobertdos: i did [07:34] My wireless connection is not working. I am unable to connect to my wireless router, I m useing HP laptop dv6755ee [07:35] Cool-Nick: Okay, see if that helps, and if you need to restart your sound now, use sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [07:35] bobertdos: what about the Device? [07:35] New2ubuntu808: can you show us the output of lspci? [07:35] bobertdos: it's Default [07:35] bobertdos: is it okey? [07:35] how to show that [07:35] ? [07:35] Cool-Nick: What are the other options? [07:35] what is LSPCI [07:35] Can you see the connection New2ubuntu808 ? [07:35] Jim_p I am windows user [07:36] bobertdos: ALC662 Digital [07:36] New2ubuntu808: you are on windows now? [07:36] no [07:36] so? [07:36] Cool-Nick: Oh yea, just keep it default. [07:36] Is the wireless working when you use windows? [07:36] right now I am on ubuntu , i was telling u i m windows user and its hard for me to understand ubuntu [07:37] yeah my wireless is working when i use windows [07:37] bebertdos [07:37] bobertdos: yeah, it works [07:37] New2ubuntu808: lspci is a terminal command listing internal hardware [07:37] but when i use ubuntu I can find any wireless network [07:37] New2ubuntu808: open a terminal and type lspci [07:37] Even I enter the router name also [07:37] New2ubuntu808, yep - wireless is often a BIG stumbling point. due to the varity of often nonstandard wireless cards/chipsets and lack of company support for linux. [07:37] ok jimp [07:37] wait I am opening ispci [07:38] Cool-Nick: good [07:38] bobertdos: i changes everything in Preferences > Sound into ALSA [07:38] bobertdos: *changed [07:38] there is no adobe reader for ubuntu 8.04? [07:38] !medibuntu | en1gma [07:38] en1gma: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [07:38] jim [07:38] i tried to use alien to convert to deb but didnt work. [07:38] have open ispci [07:38] en1gma, there is... its in the mediubuntu repos :) like the bot said. [07:38] !acrobat [07:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about acrobat [07:38] thanks [07:39] JIM@ what information is usefull in Ispci? [07:40] jim_p @ I have open the Ispci [07:40] hello [07:40] New2ubuntu808: a) its Lpsci, capitalization matters b) it lists all the internal hardware on the pc (and the wireless adapter) [07:40] I can't open Kaffeine normally. i.e when i double click it to open, it doesn't open. I must run it from the terminal with sudo. Any ideas? [07:40] yeah it listed my wireless adapter JIM_P [07:41] New2ubuntu808: can i see the line thet says about the adapter :P [07:41] Cool-Nick: Well that's not good. Can you open all other programs normally? [07:42] jim_P @ My wireless adoptor name is there "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Conne" [07:42] New2ubuntu808: let me think for its driver [07:42] en1gma: Theres a few FOSS alternatives, many people prefer them. [07:42] bobertdos: yeah [07:42] okey Jim_P [07:42] New2ubuntu808: what does sudo iwconfig tell you? [07:42] adobe reader dont want to install [07:43] wait let me check outbackwifi [07:43] bobertdos: just kaffeine makes problems, and sometimes it gets frozen! [07:43] Cool-Nick: Did you install it from the repos? [07:43] en1gma, give more info other then 'it dont work' [07:43] bobertdos: yeah [07:43] bobertos what do i do once ive edited that file? do i restart ubuntu? [07:44] outbackwifi @ outbackwifi says this IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"" Nickname:"" [07:44] Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated [07:44] Tx-Power=27 dBm [07:44] Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B [07:44] Encryption key:off [07:44] Power Management:off [07:44] New2ubuntu808: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:44] how does one exit X and drop to a console in HH? [07:44] salamandyr, you could stop the gdm service.. is one way [07:44] New2ubuntu808: what is the adapter name? can you pastebin that? [07:44] you don't have to exit X for that [07:44] salamandyr: ctrl-alt-f1 will get you to a TTY (F1-F6 is a tty, F7 is X again) [07:44] salamandyr, or just alt-ctrl-f1 to get to the console, leaving X running [07:44] salamandyr: ctl+alt+f1 [07:45] awesome [07:45] tmapj: No, that file is meant to change the places from which packages are drawn. If you go into Synaptic and reload the mirrors, your changes will take effect. [07:45] thanks [07:45] i forgot about that! [07:45] outbackwifi @ Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) [07:45] New2ubuntu808: at the same terminal type this: sudo modprobe iwl3945 [07:45] New2ubuntu808: and check for any leds that turn on [07:45] New2ubuntu808: not the hardware, the interface name like wlan0, eth1 or something similar [07:46] jim_p: his module is up, iwconfig reports the interface [07:46] oh - i DO need to exit X - i'm trying to install an Nvidia driver [07:46] salamandyr: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [07:46] How do I change the apps which xdg-open uses? [07:46] outbackwifi: ok so i delayed a bit :P [07:46] Cool-Nick: I'd reinstall it to see if it helps. It almost sounds like you don't have executable permissions for the program, which would be strange indeed. [07:46] if i install a beta of 8.10.. how do i upgrade to the final version when its released? [07:46] Flannel: tanks! [07:46] Hi there! Linux doesn't offer me duplex and multi-sheet (or even booklet) functions for my HL4040cn. Is there a way to tweak it into the driver? [07:47] * bobertdos is finding the problems tonight very strange [07:47] n00bier: Yes, through regular updates [07:47] outbackwif@ it show WAN1 [07:47] hmm [07:47] Flannel, so theres no point in waiting till the 30th of october before installing ubuntu? === Indoctrine is now known as Doc|Away [07:47] i want it on my netbook [07:48] currently running win xp [07:48] outbackwifi@ opps its show wlam0 [07:48] n00bier: If you don't mind beta software. You can also install 8.04 now, and upgrade to Intrepid as well. [07:48] New2ubuntu808: just pastebin the entire output of iwconfig (pastebin means you paste the output to paste.ubuntu.com [07:48] n00bier: i wouldnt install 8.10 [07:48] okey outbackwifi [07:48] i will do it wait [07:48] bobertdos: i did reinstall it! but same problems. I checked the executing permission and found that there is no permission. I put a tick for the permission but the it still doesn't start. [07:48] outbackwifi, why not? [07:48] n00bier: You can actually keep Hardy installed for quite a while if you want, since it's the second LTS release. [07:48] n00bier: cos its not stable yet? your netboot might go up in smoke? [07:49] n00bier: netbook [07:49] n00bier: You may only install intrepid if you agree to have "I am a guinea pig" tattooed on some part of your body [07:49] :p [07:49] wher is the firre [07:49] if i install 8.04 and then upgrade to 8.10.. will there be old files stored or will it be just like a fresh 8.10 installation? [07:49] outbackwifi, n00bier: it won't go up in smoke. But it is beta software. *actual* beta software, not what google defines "beta" as. [07:49] n00bier: No [07:49] n00bier: It'll be just like a fresh install. [07:49] i cant get my head to believe that [07:49] hehe [07:49] Flannel: i wouldnt run anything on beta [07:50] n00bier: That's the wonder of package management. [07:50] Flannel, probably the windows part of my brain [07:50] outbackwifi @ i paste it [07:50] New2ubuntu808: ok so whats the url? [07:50] outbackwifi @ link http://paste.ubuntu.com/54145/ [07:51] New2ubuntu808: ok now type sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning [07:51] and paste that too [07:51] whats a good guide to installing ubuntu from usb stick? [07:51] Cool-Nick: Let's do it from the terminal. The executable for amarok is in..........um..../usr/bin? [07:51] !install | n00bier [07:51] n00bier: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [07:51] n00bier: Theres instructions on that page [07:51] ty [07:51] hi i think ibix is too brown + the background atm is not good. [07:51] * aliases123_ files bug. [07:51] n00bier, i use that netbootin tool to make a bootable thumbdrive. and it works just like the live cd. [07:51] this is just so damn frustrating, i cannot send a file to my laptop via bluetooth, I can send one from my laptop to the phone, but not the other way around? [07:52] aliases123_: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid discussion, thanks. [07:52] ok will do :) [07:52] dr_willis, can i have other files on the usb stick at the same time as the image? [07:52] n00bier, proberly can. Its a vfat filesystem I belive [07:52] n00bier: yes [07:52] ask dokter phill [07:52] bobertdos: it's not amarok, it's kaffeine [07:52] so i dont need to format it [07:52] unless you want 2 gig files [07:53] n00bier: when you create the usb stick it will WIPE your stick and then you can have any other files also along with liveCD [07:53] onlu jump for joy n00bier [07:53] Cool-Nick: Yeah, amarokapp. In a terminal, type stat -c %a /usr/bin/amarokapp [07:53] outbackwifi, i see.. then ill backup the files first, heh [07:53] !bluetooth [07:53] ty [07:53] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [07:53] bobertdos: and yes the executable of kaffeine is in usr/bin [07:53] outbackwifi@ here is the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/54146/ [07:53] Cool-Nick: err, yeah, kaffeine should be in there too :p [07:54] how big is a standard ubuntu install? [07:54] Cool-Nick: Okay, stat -c %a [07:54] n00bier: ive had it on a 4G ssd with 1.5G to spare [07:55] so did I :p [07:55] outbackwifi @ this is the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/54146/ [07:55] on my 701 [07:55] bobertdos: == kaffeine? [07:55] I use hdparm successfully in Ubuntu. Is there a way to make same adjustments in windows? I use win only for making audio, so I kinda need that tool [07:55] sold now [07:55] New2ubuntu808: is that a laptop you're trying to troubleshoot? [07:55] Cool-Nick: yeah [07:55] outbackwifi @ yes its laptop [07:55] hello people.... bit of a noob here. just got UBUNTU on mu PC but really struggling to find information on how to sort out my Graphics and sound drivers [07:55] New2ubuntu808: is there a wireless router/ap close by? [07:55] outbackwifi@ I got hp dv6755ee laptop [07:56] bobertdos: i got 755 [07:56] outbackwifi @ i got linksys wireless router [07:56] Cool-Nick: and who owns that file? [07:56] anyone able to shed some light? I have NVIDIA 7050/nforce 610i with intel core2 duo [07:57] outbackwifi: don't you ever sleep man? [07:57] is there a way to keep more history when using 'screen' ? [07:57] bobertdos: root [07:57] Fargh: more history? [07:57] Cool-Nick: Eureka!!! There's the problem [07:57] yes so i can scroll back [07:57] remoteCTRL: :O [07:58] Fargh: What do you mean? in bash? [07:58] outbackwifi @ please help me out [07:58] yes [07:58] bobertdos: so... [07:58] New2ubuntu808: hang on, im figuring out [07:58] outbackwifi @ okey [07:59] Cool-Nick: sudo chown $USERNAME:$USERNAME [07:59] Cool-Nick: I mean, that executable [07:59] Fargh: You want a single command's output or what? [07:59] bobertdos: what do you mean by $USERNAME:$USERNAME?? write it like this? [08:00] New2ubuntu808: was the wireless card working with any other OS? [08:00] Cool-Nick: Yes, exactly like that [08:00] im running in screen simple sh scripts. they generate a lot of output [08:00] if I detach and reattach, I can only see last 40 lines of output [08:00] Fargh: pipe them to less [08:00] Geez, weird things going on tonight with permissions and ownership...... [08:00] outbackwifi : yes I am its working perfectly on windows vista [08:00] i wish my dell mini 9 could boot from SD card [08:00] anyone using 64-bit HH and having a working usb wireless dongle? [08:00] then i wouldve put in ubuntu right now [08:00] outbackwifi : yes its working perfectly on windows vista [08:00] bobertdos: i did that [08:00] bobertdos: and with mounting disks [08:00] New2ubuntu808: ok [08:01] then they wont be visible anymore at all in the screen, but I have to tail the log file ? [08:01] outbackwifi : I m useing dual boot [08:01] Cool-Nick: Okay, see if you can open Kaffeine now [08:01] bobertdos: negative! [08:02] ...... [08:02] whatsup people, I am screwed, when I try to login I get a box that tells me my session lasted less than 10 seconds blah blah, and permission denied to my home directory, what do I do??!!! [08:02] Is a lack of options for screen resolution an indication that graphics drivers have to be installed [08:02] ?? [08:03] <[timux]> Tybear241083: you probably need to activate proprietary drivers [08:03] lgrrrrrrrrrr none of this is working...beotch. [08:03] hay guyz! [08:03] Flannel: I don't suppose you could think of a quick way to check ownership on all of kaffeine's relevant files, could you? :p [08:03] grendal_prime: Please watch your language. [08:03] I thought so but I downloaded the drivers and tried to install and all I get is can't install or nothing [08:03] bobertdos: um, besides ls? [08:04] since thursday im using linux, and i wouldnt like to come back to xp.... [08:04] New2ubuntu808: can you pastebin the output of this --> dmesg | grep iwl3945 [08:04] linux > xp [08:04] maybe linux > all [08:04] Theaxiom: Try logging in to "safe gnome" under sessions on gdm [08:04] hi all,how can I install sasl support with ldap? [08:04] <[timux]> Tybear241083: check under system -> administration -> hardware drivers, you should be able to just check off the drivers. [08:04] i added the mediubuntu repos and tried to install adobe reader and it wont install [08:05] is this normal [08:05] Flannel: What do I need to do to fix permissions on my home folder? I tried chown travis:travis -R /home/travis [08:05] Flannel: And that still did not fix it. [08:05] bobertdos: look what i get when i open kaffeine using terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/54150/ [08:05] [timux] is there something that I would likely need to configure to run the nvidia linux drivers? [08:05] Theaxiom: You'd have to use sudo for that. [08:05] if i install ubuntu from a usb stick.. can i install it TO the same usb stick? :o [08:05] en1gma: if you need adobe reader, download it from their site and install (the deb, not the rpm) [08:05] yeah I tried that but it doesn't work [08:05] oh ok [08:06] n00bier: like harakiri ? [08:06] Flannel: I already did that from root command prompt which I booted to from Grub. [08:06] Cool-Nick: okay, so I'm thinking that somehow the ownership on Kaffeine's entire file structure is root. You might have to track down the relevant directories and check them all. A painfully tedious undertaiking, but I can't think of anything better. [08:06] ? [08:06] Flannel: I can't login failsafe either [08:06] Theaxiom: Who said anything about it being a permissions issue anyway? [08:06] Theaxiom: Create a new user, try and log in, does it work? [08:06] <[timux]> Tybear241083: try googling for whatever graphics card you have and see if anyone else had similar problems? [08:06] Cool-Nick: chown -R user. kaffeine [08:06] Cool-Nick: that will recurse [08:06] Flannel: How do I create a new user? [08:07] outbackwifi @ here is the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/54151/ [08:07] Theaxiom: adduser username [08:07] outbackwifi: write it like this?? with user. kaffeine? [08:07] Cool-Nick: yes [08:07] how do you encode ogg vorbis format from /dev/dsp? [08:07] Cool-Nick: if the username is 'user' :) [08:08] outbackwifi: my user name is rockyrock [08:08] jack333f: oggenc should help [08:08] Cool-Nick: then replace user with rockyrock [08:08] anyone else know anything about NVIDIA 7050/nforce 610i driver installation? [08:08] outbackwifi : ???? [08:08] outbackwifi: i did that [08:08] outbackwifi: i'll try [08:08] Flannel: Yes I was able to login to the new user just fine [08:09] outbackwifi: negative! Didn't open! [08:09] outbackwifi : please reply fast i have to go somewhere [08:09] * bobertdos beats head on desk [08:09] <_haywire_> cya New2ubuntu808 [08:09] cya new2ubuntu808 [08:10] Theaxiom: Alright, so, its something in your profile causing you to not be able to log in, but *not* something in your startup. I'd start by moving all of your gnome specific dotfiles (rename them. We're removing them from use, but keeping them around to put back later). [08:10] * Cool-Nick wants to kill him self [08:10] Yeah that's why I'm hear can't get it to work right on my hp pavilion dv9230us it has a GeForce Go 7600 [08:10] New2ubuntu808: i suggest you go somewhere and come back when you have the time and the patience [08:10] outbackwifi : I am going somwhere , my laptop is switch on . when i will be back i will check your reply . please solve my problem [08:11] Flannel: Okay so how do I change this new account to an administrator? [08:11] Cool-Nick: now tell me what it is that you are trying to achieve [08:11] Theaxiom: adduser username admin [08:11] outbackwifi : okey i will come back in 30 min please dont go anywhere i need your help [08:11] Theaxiom: that'll add it to the admin group, which is what gives it admin rights. [08:11] Cool-Nick: Well, we do not condone that. I'm just trying to figure out how this would happen. [08:12] Cool-Nick: Were you ever able to open it normally at all? [08:12] bobertdos: no i couldn't open it since i install it! [08:12] *installed [08:12] this is going to sound stupid- I seem to have managed to set my permissions in such a way as to have locked myself out of my home directory. any advice? [08:13] geremy: Fix them! [08:13] outbackwifi: i'm trying to open kaffeine normally. It opens just in terminal with sudo [08:13] geremy: If you don't have another user with admin rights, choose the "recovery console" at the GRUB menu, that'll allow you to do so. [08:13] flannel: yeah, well, that's the problem- I though I knew permissions pretty well, but everything I try seems to fail. [08:13] Cool-Nick: what happens when you try to open it in terminal as the user rockyrock? [08:14] Flannel: I have admin rights, it just doesn't work anyway [08:14] Cool-Nick: That's another thing. Graphical programs should never never be opened with sudo, especially in a weird situation like this. Use gksudo [08:14] Flannel: as root, I can cd in, but seemingly no matter what I try, I can't set the permissions to get in as my normal user [08:14] Cool-Nick: or kdesu, if on KDE [08:14] outbackwifi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/54153/ [08:15] hi [08:15] Cool-Nick: chown -R rockyrock. .kde [08:15] assalamu'alaikum === jords__ is now known as jords [08:16] Cool-Nick: chown -R rockyrock. .ICEauthority [08:16] Cool-Nick: inside your home folder [08:16] what is the mozilla adobe reader plugin [08:16] en1gma: when you install acrobat reader it will also install the plugin [08:16] flannel: any ideas? [08:17] i installed the acrobat reader (the .deb) version [08:17] will it still install it [08:17] geremy: Can you give us the current permissions/etc? [08:17] en1gma: yes [08:17] ok cool [08:17] it didnt create a menu item for acrobat though [08:17] flannel: ~ is dr--r--rw [08:17] en1gma: check in office [08:18] damn make a liar out of me :) [08:18] flannel: I've set it all the way up to 777 with no effect [08:18] I need some help with Nvidia set up any takers? [08:18] Flannel: Try to login after moving those files? [08:18] geremy: Is it mounted read only? [08:18] jmod: shoot [08:18] Theaxiom: Yep [08:18] Cool-Nick: any joy? [08:18] jmod: you may be better off in #nvidia though [08:18] how do I start compiz/emerald by default? [08:18] Flannel: Didn't work [08:18] good Morning [08:18] hey [08:18] <_haywire_> what's good about it? [08:18] Theaxiom: If it works, you know its one of those, move them back one-by-one, etc, find the offending file. If its not, you know you didn't find it, so its somewhere else. [08:18] flannel: I have no idea how that could be, I'm able to touch, etc as root [08:19] Guten Morgen [08:19] Naomarik: system > prefs > appearance > visual effects > normal [08:19] i can't booting to login ubuntu 8 [08:19] that change should be persistent [08:19] geremy: Alright. And what command are you using to chmod them? [08:19] newprog: come again? [08:19] outbackwifi: wait plz [08:19] does anyone know why apps suddenly use the GTK1 theme? [08:19] the screen is blank when i login [08:19] synaptic and text editor [08:19] flannel: to chmod which? I've been doing a lot of chmodding [08:20] newprog: forgot solution but "ubuntu blank screen after login" in google finds plenty of stuff IIRC [08:20] (without the quotes) [08:20] fenerli7: that will make emerald the default window theme upon loading? [08:20] or windows decorator i should say [08:20] emerald is done separately [08:20] how is it done [08:20] outbackwifi: rockyrock@rockyrock-desktop:~$ chown -R rockyrock. .ICEauthority [08:20] chown: changing ownership of `.ICEauthority': Operation not permitted [08:20] no i don't login [08:20] before login [08:20] geremy: chmod 755 -R /home/username [08:21] Naomarik: go to system > prefs> adv desktop effects > options > command > change it to "emerald --replace" [08:21] (without the quotes) [08:21] hi [08:21] Cool-Nick: sudo before both [08:21] Cool-Nick, outbackwifi: just delete that file. [08:21] screen to input username and password blank [08:21] flannel: yeah, did that a few times [08:21] flannel: just did it again, no effect [08:21] well last time i tried to update the driver I get this screen that all jumbeled and I have to revert it back to the default driver to get it back [08:21] flannel: cd errors out, permission denied [08:21] hmm there's no adv desktop effects under preferences on my end [08:22] outbackwifi: i did that, i'll try to open kaffeine [08:22] Naomarik: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [08:22] geremy: Did it give you errors? Can you pastebin the output of this? ls -l /home && sudo chmod -R 755 /home/username && ls -l /home [08:22] outbackwifi: heheheh it works! [08:22] Naomarik: ubuntu doesn't include that for some stupid reason [08:22] yeah give me a second [08:22] Cool-Nick: yw [08:22] Flannel: I fixed it by opening a nautilus window as root, and then going to the home directory, right clicking on my home directory, and changing the permissions to full, and apply to enclosing files and voila [08:22] coooool [08:22] fenerli7: I have ccsm ;) [08:22] ok then, open that up [08:22] it's the same thing [08:23] hi all,how can I install sasl support with ldap? [08:23] Flannel: For some reason my user had no access to my own home directory although I was the owner [08:23] I tried a three boot config winxp ubuntu and winxp ultimate [08:23] it's open, not seeing any of the steps you listed in here [08:23] Naomarik: the option is in "window decorations" [08:23] outbackwifi: i have another problem now. My card reader sometimes works and sometimes not! Any ideas? [08:23] but le third won't boot [08:23] flannel: the output is pretty minimal, but quite disturbing in its own way, actually [08:23] oh n/m i see it [08:23] Flannel: Thanks for shoving me in the right direction :) [08:23] geremy: It ought to be minimal, just a few lines. [08:23] Cool-Nick: thats prolly got to do with the cards themselves [08:24] outbackwifi: So what was it? Changing ownership of xauthority? [08:24] flannel: should those few lines consist almost entirely of permission denieds and question marks? [08:24] does anyone know why some apps suddenly start using the GTK1 theme? [08:24] bobertdos: and .kde [08:24] geremy: Er, [08:24] outbackwifi: geez [08:24] geremy: Pastebin the output [08:25] !repeat | fenerli7 [08:25] fenerli7: 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 [08:25] fenerli7: seems that option had already been set like that [08:25] outbackwifi: Wow, how would those have gotten screwed up?? [08:25] bobertdos: can't say unless he sudo'ed himself to death [08:25] fenerli7, bc they are coded with gtk1 === lw0x15_ is now known as lw0x15 [08:25] pvl1: no, they just changed all of a sudden. synaptic is an example [08:26] join/ #nvidia [08:26] outbackwifi: i have another problem :) My external hard doesn't work. I got a message when i plug it [08:26] fenerli7, do u still have gtk2 installed? [08:26] yes, all other apps are using it [08:26] Cool-Nick: you havent thanked me yet for the first one [08:26] outbackwifi: Well he probably was, because he said he had been constantly using sudo to open Kaffeine, so I'm assuming he was doing that with other things too. [08:26] pvl1: I think I got it, it seems to happen when I open programs as root [08:27] outbackwifi: hehehe thanks so so so so much, is it okay now? [08:27] hehehehe [08:27] flannel: http://pastebin.ca/1219639 [08:27] Cool-Nick: yeah ok [08:27] fenerli7, oh u mean just synaptic. oh well, it could be in the settings or what not [08:27] flannel: I had to recreate it, some of the spacing may be off [08:27] pvl1: some apps, synaptic being an example [08:27] fenerli7, only as root tho [08:27] geremy: looks like your fs is screwed [08:27] geremy: What are your permissions on /home itself? ls -l / | grep home [08:28] geremy: Also, these question marks are usually a bad thing. [08:28] Naomarik: so it is set to emerald --replace? is it not using emerald? [08:28] Say, has anyone run an apache webserver? [08:28] ls -l / | grep home [08:28] whoops lol [08:28] outbackwifi: when i plug any external hard i get a message says: Cant mount volume [08:28] pvl1: yes, it's only as root, just tried with gedit [08:28] geremy: can you pastebin dmesg [08:28] aye fenerli7 [08:28] geremy: or ls -l / and then just read the perms on the homedi [08:28] I'm wondering how you might run two at once using init.d [08:28] fenerli7: I'm guessing i need to load compiz upon boot [08:28] instead of metacity [08:28] JDigital: Why do you want to run two at once? [08:28] Cool-Nick: One final comment, I believe your first problem arose because of some overzealous use of sudo. For future reference, remember what Flannel and I said about gksudo and kdesu. [08:28] Naomarik: can you try running emerald --replace manually, e.g. through alt-F2 [08:28] Cool-Nick: easy way is to install pmount and make an entry for the hard disk in /etc/pmount.allow [08:29] fenerli7, must be the settings for root then. dunno how to fix that. there should be a config file for it [08:29] Flannel: Security; run each as its own user. [08:29] Cool-Nick: sudo aptt-get install pmount [08:29] outbackwifi: I'm recreating this, it can't boot into gnome due to permissions on /home [08:29] Cool-Nick: sudo apt-get install pmount [08:29] fenerli7: yah it lets me do that [08:29] pvl1: figured so, I have no idea either, currently looking [08:29] flannel: its dr--r--rw [08:29] geremy: what are those ??? marks doing there [08:29] how can I delete all history in my network manager? [08:29] How do I CHMOD all files AND folders within a foldeR? [08:29] JDigital: You might want to ask in #apache if its even doable. [08:29] Naomarik: you can manage this with fusion-icon [08:29] outbackwifi: not trying to be rude, but if I knew I wouldn't be asking [08:29] zachera: Why do you want to do that? [08:30] Naomarik: still, there should be no need [08:30] fenerli7: yeah but how do I make compiz automatically boot? [08:30] Flannel: Because I do? [08:30] #apache recommended it to me. They won't tell me how it's done [08:30] outbackwifi: and here [08:30] can anynone tell me where i can find some help about triple boot with grub, pliz? [08:30] geremy: boot into single and fsck that partition [08:30] geremy: well, theres some of the issue. That ought to be 755 [08:30] outbackwifi: I thought I knew something [08:30] I'm hoping someone here might have a nidea [08:30] Naomarik: add fusion-icon to your startup apps [08:30] also, an idea [08:30] JDigital: what's up? [08:30] safeman: triple booting what OS's? [08:30] geremy: but I agree, fsck first. (shutdown -F -r now) [08:30] flannel: worked [08:30] JDigital: you'd have to give them separate PIDs and stuff. [08:31] geremy: the 755 worked? [08:31] flannel: I wonder why i could cd into /home though [08:31] flannel: yeah [08:31] winxp ubuntu xp ultimate [08:31] geremy: I'd take a timeout now and fsck. You're not really sure why thats the way it is, and best to be safe. [08:31] davidryder: I can run two apaches at once, I think, but I don't know how to configure init.d [08:31] er, to make two apaches [08:31] JDigital: you'd have to give them separate PIDs and stuff. Copy the apache one, and modify it a little. [08:31] /etc/init.d/apache2 is 172 lines long [08:31] * bobertdos bids all goodnight and drops dead [08:31] I don't know what of the init.d to modify or how. [08:31] JDigital: you dont have to run two apaches; you can run manny vhosts with one [08:32] flannel: yeah... pretty strange stuff... [08:32] outbackwifi: No, I need to run each as its own user, for security. [08:32] JDigital: remember, you'll have to make separate apache configuration directories and stuff too, or do some fancy other stuff.. I'm honestly not sure it'd be worth it. [08:32] Anybody knows why Ubuntu DVD releases are relatively hidden? I mean, if you go to the download page, there is a bunch of mirrors and torrents that carry the CD edition, but not the DVD edition. I found the DVD edition by using google, but not through the main Getubuntu page. I'm just curious to know not really having a problem with it. [08:33] JDigital: security has got nothing to do with running multiple instances; you can just suid the scripts for that particular user [08:33] i'm getting apache now [08:33] outbackwifi: mod_php isn't cgi [08:33] PHP can run as CGI but it's slow. It's faster with mod_fastcgi but that's unmaintained. It's maintained with mod_fcgid but that's arcane [08:33] flannel: hmm so, fsck terminating with a core dump, thats bad. backup and start fresh? [08:34] JDigital: and the point of all this is ... [08:34] I would need an Intelligence score of 19 to use suexec [08:34] geremy: Uh... maybe. Even if you get a good fsck out of this, there's no telling what other issues there are laying in wait for you. So, I'd say a backup and reinstall will probably be the least time consuming. [08:35] flannel: alright. thanks a ton for your help [08:35] JDigital: :o [08:35] There are several tutorials online, all of which say that they couldn't get the other tutorials to work [08:35] It's black magic [08:36] Hi how do i make a beep sound on localhost through a ssh connection? [08:37] I'm running a dual boot and under windows I have a lot of mails in outlook is there a simple way to transfer these to thunderbird using the import function or is this impossible [08:37] bill: beep [08:37] paul68: what I did was switch to gmail :) [08:38] Where is the wireless network profiles stored? [08:38] Jdigital I have that to but more to filter out junkmails to keep my home email as clean as possible from junk mail [08:38] Ayabara: right click on network manager, click on 'edit wireless networks' [08:38] gmail does a good job of spamfiltering [08:39] bill there is a 'beep' command that can play all sorts of customizable beeps [08:39] and also of keeping your e-mail stored in case the FBI ever needs to investigate you [08:39] !info beep [08:39] beep (source: beep): advanced pc-speaker beeper. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.2-20 (hardy), package size 21 kB, installed size 108 kB [08:39] I know that it's that email that I use to register to fora ect [08:39] outbackwifi: did that and deleted my network, but still all except mine show up in the list of available networks [08:39] Ayabara: are you broadcasting SSID? [08:40] !patience [08:40] outbackwifi: I'm on intrepid, so I really shouldn't get any support in here. Was just wondering how I can delete the history :-) [08:40] I'm in europe so the chance of investigate me is rather slim :-) [08:40] Ayabara: #ubuntu+1 please [08:40] paul68: easier way is to export from outlook and then import these into thunderbird [08:41] outbackwifi: that's what I meant. just figured someone here could tell me what directory the network profiles are stored in so I could delete them [08:41] Ayabara: hows that possible cos we dont run intrepid [08:41] or install the english thunderbird under windows and then export these from there to linux? [08:42] paul68: once its inside thunderbird, just copy the profile folder into linux. (normally in /home/user/.thunderbird) [08:42] hi all, does anyone know how to fix the error "ldapsearch: not compiled with SASL support" ? [08:42] ok wil give it a try [08:42] paul68: in Windoze it is in Documents and Settings, User, Application Data, Thunderbird [08:42] outbackwifi: I thought it could be the same folder thats all. for instance ~/.gnome is in the same place on both 8.04 and 8.10 ;) [08:42] scuser, dude, seems like you need to get the source and compile the program yourself [08:43] scuser: re-compile it with SASL, or try and avoid the need for it [08:43] under vista it's different [08:43] thx for the help with virtualbox whoever u were [08:43] paul68: never heard of that :P [08:43] lucky you :-) [08:43] What's the 8.10 beta like. I'm getting it. Go ahead and jump ahead. [08:44] nice, has a few things I've been waiting far too long for too [08:44] vocx, fenerli7: I'm using ubuntu 8.04, so I've installed ldap and kerberos from the repository, I didn't needed to use the sources to compile [08:44] I looking at the features, and I'm liking what I'm seeing. [08:44] ？ [08:44] scuser: I know, it was pre-compiled, but if you want that component, you have to compile it yourself [08:45] I have ubuntu server running a webserver, and I heard of a way to set it up so I can access it remotely from outside my LAN, without entering my IP address everytime, since it changes. What was this called again? [08:45] Sa[i]nT: yes, both ubuntu 8.10 and fedora 10 have a lot of nice features [08:45] scuser, well, according to your warning message, you need to get the sources to compile with SASL support [08:45] The update is huge tho. It's going to kill the ubuntu servers on release day. [08:45] Chris_Foster: no-ip? [08:45] scuser you need to install libsasl2-modules-ldap [08:46] JDigital: well, its letters rather than numbers. And the letters dont change. [08:46] Sa[i]nT: good, it will let them know they need to make it more obvious that the user should choose a suitable server [08:46] Hello. [08:46] Chris_Foster: its called dynamic dns [08:46] How do you launch Gnome Do? [08:46] outbackwifi: is that included in the ubuntu server edition? [08:46] Pupeno1: alt-f2, gnome-do [08:46] Chris_Foster: and the providers are no-ip.com, dyndns.org [08:46] outbackwifi: I've installed it but still have the same error message [08:47] Chris_Foster: no its a service [08:47] Pupeno1: best to add gnome-do to your startup applications [08:47] fenerli7: I remember the lag on hardy's release. I can't imagine what this one is going to be like. I'm going ahead and get it and update from there, because it's going to be rediciousl. [08:47] outbackwifi: Okay, thanks [08:47] fenerli7: I don't mean running the program, I'm mean launching the dialog. Gnome Do is already running. [08:47] redicoulous^ or however it's spelled, gahh. [08:47] Pupeno1: start-space by default [08:47] outbackwifi: That helped alot :) I was looking for something included in ubuntu :) [08:47] scuser: can you do a ldd on the ldap binary? [08:47] !ssh [08:47] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage.

[08:47] よめる？ [08:48] Pupeno1: the "super" key [08:48] sachi: anglais here [08:48] Funny, the windows key is called "Super". [08:48] Oh, it's win-space... except I don't have a win-key on my keyboard. [08:49] Sa[i]nT: should be called the Penguin [08:49] Pupeno1: you can change it [08:49] fenerli7: do you know how? [08:49] Sa[i]nT, just remember to tell new users to download using bittorrent if possible. People who upgrade, ... well, I guess they'll be stuck using the Ubuntu servers [08:49] outbackwifi: I wonder why they don't have penguin key'd KB's yet. [08:49] outbackwifi, the Super key has existed on many Unices keyboards for decades [08:49] xdm help anyone? [08:49] outbackwifi: yes I did ldd ./ldapsearch, so ? [08:49] Pupeno1: first, end gnome-do through system monitor, then alt-f2, gnome-do, that should open the dialog, then change the preferences [08:49] chrisjunkie: shoot [08:50] scuser: pastebin tthe output of that [08:50] chrisjunkie, please refrain from asking incomplete questions [08:50] vocx: They could always order the CD/DVD and wait for it. I normally do that, delivered from france lol. [08:50] chrisjunkie: he means "dont ask to ask, just ask :)" [08:50] I am having trouble with the house computer running at 100% CPU. [08:50] magnetron: thanks for that bit of trivia [08:50] !ask [08:50] 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. :-) [08:50] outbackwifi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/54163/, that's it [08:51] gnome-appearance-properties has two processes which take up about 70% CPU. How can I disable this process? [08:51] sorry about that [08:51] so yea no go [08:51] scuser: that says sasl support is available --> libsasl2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libsasl2.so.2 (0x00002af9f9d12000) [08:51] brylie: right click, end process? [08:51] hmm my realtek gigabit isnt working in hardy live [08:51] scuser: what was the error you got when you ran ldapsearch? [08:51] Sa[i]nT, but you always make fresh installs? Or you mean you upgrade using the alternate CD? [08:51] right but will it come back and is there a configuration file I can edit to disable it? [08:52] fenerli7: I'm sorry, it didn't open any dialog. [08:52] any input on inprovement [08:52] ? [08:52] http://lurix.net/test.html [08:52] m [08:52] vocx: Well, upgrade with the CD.

[08:52] how can i get NTFS support for 8.04 [08:52] i created an xsession for xdm and it didnt work (matchbox didnt load) and now it is not showing on the xdm session list?

[08:56] any suggestion please? [08:57] scuser: you could try that too [08:57] google for GAG [08:57] safeman_, you may try to reinstall grub. There may be various things you could try depending on the configuration you have. Are they SATA or PATA? Which Channel, which one is Master and Slave? You may even replug the Hard drives, Windows first Ubuntu last. [08:58] Pupeno1: no worries [08:58] outbackwifi: should I restart the slapd server or reboot the machine after installation ? [08:58] scuser: restart the slapd server [08:59] scuser: though that doesnt make sense since you are trying to run ldapsearch [08:59] Hello.

Some people say that for some motherboards it only boots that way. Check your motherboard BIOS also if you can give precedence to the SATA or PATA interface. [09:02] scuser: sorry no [09:03] outbackwifi: thank you for your time [09:03] scuser: only other option is to download latest stable source and build it with sasl support [09:04] scuser, put that message in a search engine or search the forums.

[09:05] Aron: system>admin>hardware drivers [09:06] using that one,I cannot use compiz [09:06] safeman_, I didn't quite understand your problem.

[09:06] only a simple look [09:06] Hey, I started listening to Terry Pratchett audiobooks in mp3. Some are in about 100 files per book, some only 5 files per book.

[09:08] Aron: install envy, start it from the main menu under 'system' and install the nvidia proprietary drivers. Then install nvidia-settings and start it with 'sudo nvidia-settings' from the terminal, make all changes, save them to the xorg.conf file by clicking the button there and things should be set up. Also think about having a look at the ubuntu wiki [09:09] scuser, for example a quick search gives problems similar to yours http://www.mail-archive.com/openldap-software@openldap.org/msg12756.html [09:09] hi guys i would like to get the compiz fusion what do i do i already have ubuntu restricted extras installed where to i go from there [09:10] Ganandorf it should already be installed [09:10] Ganandorf: to enable, system > prefs > appearance > visual effects > normal [09:10] Buyydee: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [09:10] safeman_, in that case, you need to run the grub-update program to search all disks for operating systems and create a new menu.lst, shouldn't be that hard, check the man page [09:10] Aron, did you install the driver using envy? [09:10] yes [09:11] restarted x-server? [09:11] yes [09:11] but only installed without do anything else [09:11] safeman_, it's actually called "update-grub", but you may have the desired effect with "grub-install" also [09:12] i have it on extra fenerli7 [09:12] , ok i'll try an update thanx [09:12] but ho wto i get it to do all the stuff i see in youtube [09:12] I just ran memtest86, and I got 27 errors, most of them have err-bits 0000000000 what doese that mean? should i change memory or is it motherboard problem? [09:12] Aron: without anything else means you installed envy, said install and then it should have asked you, if you want it to configure the drivers, did you do that? [09:13] I use envy ,installed the drivers for nvdia [09:13] nvidia [09:13] fenerli7: so what do i do i have it on extra in visual effects [09:13] Ganandorf then compiz is already enabled [09:13] Daremonai, yes, it could be the memory. I've never seen an error like that, so I guess you had bad luck. [09:14] Ganandorf: go to system>prefs>adv desktop effects to enable all the compiz components [09:14] so how to i edit it to get the effects i see on youtube [09:14] Aron: at what point did you get the error message you posted? [09:14] !ccsm | Ganandorf need this probably [09:14] Ganandorf need this probably: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

I'm trying to remove this package, and I keep getting E: spring-mod-xm: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127 [09:16] Aron: you'd help me a lot if you'd be more specific with your answers [09:16] Kharnov: can you try to force reinstall the package? [09:16] Daremonai, those hard locks that don't seem to be triggered by any software indeed look like hardware bugs. So check your motherboard or memory. I've never had a problem like that myself. [09:17] Aron: did envy aks you to configure the drivers for you? [09:17] ShinobiTeno: It won't let me. I installed it from a third party repo, and I forgot what it was. [09:17] no [09:17] vocx, alright, thanks [09:17] Kharnov, i guess two variants: 1)remember the repo(google) 2) remove everything manually [09:18] ShinobiTeno: Once I find the repo, what should I do? [09:18] Aron: try 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' and restart with ctrl+alt+backspace [09:18] Kharnov add it, and force reinstall the package ) [09:18] OK,I'll do it now === Jane_ is now known as highschoolGirl [09:19] anyone have problems loading gdesklets? [09:19] Kharnov, use "dpkg" with its various options and the package name. It may give you information on that package, provided the debian binary was built accordingly. [09:19] GreedyB: I'm supposed to use it for my university, but the one in networkmanager is easier and better integrated and has no problems connecting in my case [09:20] I still cannot start any visual effect [09:20] Aron_: did the installation in envy give any problems? [09:20] no [09:20] ShinobiTeno: Alright, I actually found the repo now, and force reinstalled it. But if I try to remove the package again, I get the same error. [09:21] Aron_: then try and install nvidia-settings [09:21] !envy | Buyydee Aron_ [09:21] Buyydee Aron_: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [09:21] still like this You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [09:22] vocx: Thank you, but you can't get envy any more from the repos, so I think he has envyng [09:22] Buyydee, which networkmanager? [09:22] GreedyB: The normal one which comes with ubuntu, the two-monitors-icon in your top right corner [09:22] can anyone help me with a new installation of ubuntu plz, i used unetbootin to do the install so i could replace windows xp with ubuntu and not use a cd and im having all kinds of errors on the partitioning part [09:23] what does "/usr/bin/X :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/ :0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7" ? [09:24] GreedyB: you need the packages network-manager-vpnc and vpnc [09:24] GreedyB: then left-click on the monitors and there should be the possibility to install a vpn tunnel [09:24] matthew99857, you probably have a good reason for not using a CD, but it really is the best way if you want to wipe any other OS. Guess you could plug in a spare CD drive. [09:24] while,what should I do then? [09:25] i actually didnt have any blank cds laying around [09:25] Aron_: you did install nvidia-settings? [09:25] yes [09:25] Aron_: started it? [09:25] yes [09:26] it shows this message:You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [09:26] do you know how to finish the installation with my problem? [09:26] matthew99857, well, that's sad. You should buy a couple of CD-RW at least, they come in handy at times like this. [09:26] Aron_: from the xorg.conf you sent me, I see the nvidia drivers are in use and nvidia-settings starts, so the drivers are up and running [09:27] i want to be able to mount other disc images files from the terminal. like for example: mdf. Any idea how?> [09:27] Buyydee, I dont know all this information they gave me a .pcf file but it wont let me import [09:27] GreedyB: installed the packages? [09:28] but while I try to change the settings in gnome-appearance-properties,it says that I cannot start visual effects [09:28] sugi, some of those images maybe simple .iso with a custom header, so there are converter programs to change it to .iso and then mount [09:28] yep I'm in the program but since I dont know all the info and the .pcf file my company gave me has some large hash password.. not sure what to do [09:28] !iso | sugi [09:28] sugi: 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. [09:28] Aron_: I can't see the problem, I'm sorry [09:28] Aron_: do you have graphic acceleration on? [09:28] thank you all the same [09:28] ive tried guided using entire disk and guided resizing, also I tried manual and all give me errors at 15% on the installation. could not create file system is the error i get on manual and guided says the ext3 file system creation in partition #1 scsi1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed [09:29] Does anyone know why flash is so unstable in Hardy 64? I usually can only see one flash applet before it refuses to display video anymore. The only way to recover video is to kill npviewer.bin, but the zombie process sometimes adamantly refuses to go away, even against a last ditch kill -9; I end up having to restart X to get flash back. [09:29] i want to be able to mount other disc images files from the terminal. like for example: mdf. Any idea how?> [09:29] matthew99857: can you explain your disk's to us, your not using raid, it's a straight/flat disk etc etc [09:29] sugi: you mount them as iso's in the link vocx gave you [09:29] ShinobiTeno:I don't know what's that. [09:29] GreedyB: OK, go to the network manager, then vpn connections, configure vpn. add, then it should say cisco-compatible, you click next. then an interface comes up with many fields. at the bottom, it says 'import configuration', load your .pcf here [09:29] i have a western digital 80gb raid hard drive [09:29] matthew99857: there is the problem [09:29] swuboo, as far as I know, flash in 64 bit equals pain, always, and it's been in that state for a while [09:30] matthew99857: are you using software/hardware or fake raid [09:30] Buyydee, I tried :P it said no information for some reason [09:30] Aron_: open terminal and type "glxinfo | grep -i rendering" [09:30] vocx: it's straight forward [09:30] ikonia: i only have mdf files no iso. i know though how to mount -o loop /iso/image/files [09:30] no, im using the actual raid plug ins to the motherboard, no software is used [09:30] Buyydee: hmm, I suppose you're not free to send it to me, but I'll have a look at my own pcf and see what I can find out about them. brb === saint__ is now known as Sa[i]nT [09:30] matthew99857: thats called "fake raid" [09:30] ikonia: i would prefer not to convert them [09:31] matthew99857: that is a terrible raid solution and %99.9 certain that is your problem [09:31] but thanks anyways vocx [09:31] vocx: Yeah, it has been that way for a while. I was just hoping it might be getting better, or some decent workarounds have been found. [09:31] how would i fix it? [09:31] sugi: what does "file" against them show [09:31] matthew99857: don't use fake raid [09:31] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

[09:32] i didnt even know i wuz using fake raid, i dont know how to change it [09:32] matthew99857: stop using raid [09:32] Aron_: please type this: "lspci | grep -i vga" [09:32] so i can only install ubuntu with an ide hard drive? [09:32] 04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8500 GT (rev a1) [09:32] ikonia: i am not too sure what you are asking, but i need to mount mdf files preferly from the terminal but i guess. if i have to do i can do it from a gui front [09:33] matthew99857: no, but your using fake raid (onboard raid) and that is a terrible technology [09:33] sugi: I'm asking you to run "file" against the mdf files [09:33] Aron_: please open synaptic package manager [09:33] sugi, as ikonia says, do this "file my_file.mdf" [09:33] so do i need additional hardware to fix it? [09:33] OK [09:33] matthew99857: no you need to stop using raid [09:33] matthew99857, can't you disable the raid from the BIOS? Check your motherboard manual. [09:33] matthew99857: just use the disk as an individual disk [09:34] ummmmmm, hardy live just dumped me into intraramfs [09:34] It opens [09:34] ikonia: vocxi: oh i am sorry. i misunderstood you. thank i will try it now [09:34] hmm ill check the motherboard book and in the bios to see if i can try that, ill be back if it still doesnt work, thanks [09:34] Aron_: please add "nvidia-glx-new" package and all dependencies [09:35] Aron_: you can also add "nvidia-settings" [09:35] it says this would remove nvidia-glx-new-envy and nvidia-glx-new-dev-envy [09:35] yes, confirm. [09:35] I have nvidia-settings now. [09:35] ikonia, you need to word better your answers, seems like nobody in getting you today. [09:35] ubuntu can use ext3, right? [09:35] should I continue? [09:35] Aron_: confirm it. yes. [09:35] ikonia: vocx: ISO 9660 cd-rom filesystem data udf filesystem data (unknown version, id 'nsr01') [09:36] yes Lakitu [09:36] ok, thanks [09:36] sugi: looks like that should work as a loop back file system [09:36] I have pressed the button 'Apply' [09:36] i have my cdrom burned to an iso and extracted as a directory.... can i add the cdrom copy to my sources list ??? [09:36] hardy live just dumped me into intraramfs [09:36] Aron_: k, wait. [09:36] how do i prevent that? [09:37] ikonia: -mount -o loop but instead of .iso .mdf? or the .mds file? [09:37] sugi: try it, linux see's it as a "image" so it may work [09:37] scientus_, that's most probably a bug. So you may check lauchpad or the forums for similar errors. It may be an error that was corrected in the newer version Intrepid Ibex, though. [09:38] I think I've had success mounting mdf/mds files as a loopback device, but it could be my memory playing tricks. === Doc|Away is now known as Indoctrine [09:38] wow it worked [09:38] That's the Alcohol 120% file format, correct? [09:38] sugi: either use "acetoneISO" to mount MDF, or use "iat" to convert it to ISO. [09:38] ikonia: vocx: wow it worked, i feel retard for nto trying before asking. thanks [09:38] swuboo, sugi where exactly you get those files from? [09:39] ShinobiTeno:OK,finnished [09:39] swuboo: yea, for some reason. some tiems when i back up it won't let me do it into a iso file. only mdf. it kinda makes me mad [09:39] seach how vocx, by controler card, motherboard??? [09:39] sugi, you are retarded... nah, just kidding. [09:39] and then? [09:39] Aron_: ok. now please save all important work and do a reboot. [09:39] Aron_: ill wait here.

[09:40] maybe iso.7z if u need it [09:41] scientus_, yes, developers are very interested in problems like that, specially when the Live CD fails to boot. File a bug, since 8.04 has long term support, they would like to improve that. [09:41] Buyydee, nothing :( [09:41] GreedyB: I suppose you've opened it with a text editor?

[09:47] lol that was timing :) [09:47] Dragan91, you cannot exactly uninstall grub, because its first stage usually goes to the Master Boot Record of a hard drive, but you can overwrite it with another boot loader, in this case windows' [09:48] starn: IPv6 is the new (eventual) protocol. Broadcast addresses are for sending a packet to an entire subnet. I doubt either matters very much for your purposes. [09:48] starn, they are apples and oranges, broadcast is the address at the end of the range of IPs you are attached to, network is before them and you will be in the middle somewhere, IPv6 is not IPv4 [09:48] so i need to run windows recovery console and write new MBR?

(i am a linux newbie) === minces is now known as souffle [09:57] markus, I don't know if itunes work with wine, you should check out the wine application database first, in winehq.org or some page like that. [09:57] my tip, although it may not be so helpful to you, is to not use itunes under wine - there are plenty of capable audio players that are native to linux, such as amarok, which are fantastic [09:57] markus: out of curiosity why you using itunes? [09:57] but what about my ipod? [09:57] most audio jukboxes for linux will take care of your ipod [09:58] what gen ipod is it? [09:58] markus: rhythmbox is compatible with ipod and there are other linux players that can do the job also [09:58] This flash instability is absolutely obnoxious.

[09:58] markus, you should understand that you may not emulate every single windows application, there may be plenty of alternatives as free software. [09:59] what are the advantages of 8,10?

[10:18] Cheeky, or did you and have you found something wrong with it? [10:18] Cheeky, you are not paying attention; many people have tried to help you [10:18] thirdy: Gedit's pretty nifty---I don't write C, but it seems to do a decent job of recognizing when it's being fed code and coloring the text appropriately. Works a charm in LaTeX. [10:18] Cheeky, that is quickcam fusion and works fine in ubuntu [10:18] hey guys I opened file in terminal using vim, what to do to save changes? [10:18] vocx: if you feel that i am pressing you for the answer iam sorry i didnt mean it that way i just dont wan to be accused something that i dont intend on doing thnks dude [10:18] thirdy: You could try geany or JEdit. [10:18] kk_ubuntu, which one is that? I have the r60 also [10:18] swuboo, latex coloring is just bad. Maybe I'm missing some color schemes, but actually I prefer Kate, better, and faster strangely in my case than using gedit. [10:19] kk_ubuntu, the popup menu key that is [10:19] hey i m not able 2 increase the volume...i try to move the volume slide bar, though it moves but it does not remain there when i check it again [10:19] Hi there. Is there a way to determine how many MB a process has sent? [10:19] Cheeky, or did you and have you found something wrong with it? [10:19] bazhang: the button between the right ctrl and alt key [10:19] kk_ubuntu: i m not supposed to delete them na?? [10:19] bazhang: it used to work with skype but eversince i installed flash 10 .. it doesnt even detect on skype [10:19] Cheeky, check ubuntuforums for quickcam fusion there are loads of fixes there. [10:19] bazhang: when u press the key the menu popus up [10:19] vocx: Really? I've never had an issue with its coloration. It seems to recognize regular markups in green and environment tags in red. I've never heard of Kate, though. Is it a text editor or something heavier? [10:20] Cheeky, it's not that I'm offended it's that you are basically ignoring every suggestion without giving further info about your problem, or stating what you've tried before. [10:20] kk_ubuntu, which menu pops up, ie what is in it [10:20] swuboo, Sa[i]nT, any real time syntax checker like NetBeans and Eclipse for Java? [10:20] piyush: u will have to remove any system level proxy because ur transactions will try going through that [10:20] thirdy: Anjuta IDE is supposed to be for C I think. [10:20] I mean those feature for C programming [10:20] Cheeky, then flash 10 is the problem and not ubuntu [10:21] bazhang: well, when u press shift f10 the same menus come up like for example equal to right clicking the mouse [10:21] thirdy: I've never really felt the need to look past gedit for my text editing needs. [10:21] swuboo, a text editor? Kate is the KDE Advanced Text Editor, it's basically gedit for the KDE desktop. Try it. You'll be amazed. [10:21] hey guys I opened file in terminal using vim, what to do to save changes? [10:21] kk_ubuntu: but i havent configured it to route thr` any proxy!! [10:21] thirdy: I know geany supports syntax for alot of languages. [10:22] bazhang: as i mentiones earlier i came in here and i was refered to install flash 10 when i had flash 9 and it worked fine .. so pleas .. [10:22] vocx: Will do. Thanks for the tip.

[10:22] bazhang: for example when I press that button on a menu item in the application, it should give me the same menu like send this icon to desktop [10:23] why is no media player handling subtitles decently? :((( [10:23] bazhang: ok, try pressing the key between the right side alt and control and tell me what happens on your laptop [10:23] the_eraser, vlc, I think does a good job. What kind of disc or movie file? [10:23] kk_ubuntu, hang on a sec [10:24] bazhang: it is supposed to pop up the menu for that item [10:24] ok bazhang [10:24] vocx: but vlc just display something like 5% of the subtitle. yes file. [10:24] ompaul: i mentioned that i upgraded to flash 10 from flash 9 .. but i installed uvc like teh doc ..i just dunno where to go .. yeah think you guys want but i just came here to get my web cam to work and sorry i didnt address your questions [10:24] how do you make the icons for the main menu smaller? [10:25] the_eraser, nah, your files are corrupted, not encoded properly or the subtitle files are wrong. Fix that. [10:25] nothing wrong with them [10:26] vobsub can handle them [10:26] so can any one help me/? [10:27] Cheeky, you upgrade something, it breaks what you want working, you know it did, you got to drop flash 10 then, does that make sense, cos if it does it is what bazhang told you already, I pointed you at the web cam howto page so I think it is highly unfair of you to expect us to help you with you don't tell us all the story from the off, pulling teeth would be easier than getting to the point with you, now go remove that flash 10 put back 9 if it [10:27] fixes it you know exactly what the problem is === Doc|UrT is now known as Indoctrine [10:27] bazhang: did u at least get that button which I was refering to? [10:28] kk_ubuntu, you mean the menu between alt and ctrl that looks like a small menu? clicking it here is equivalent to right click with mouse [10:28] yes [10:28] bazhang: yes [10:28] kk_ubuntu: i just figured that if i just issue synaptic (without sudo) then it starts fine [10:28] kk_ubuntu, sorry lappy was in other room :) [10:28] I installed kubuntu-desktop... is there a safe way to remove it (together with its friends)?

[10:42] #ubuntu+1 Sa[i]nT [10:42] Should I say, 8.10 beta. It's not final yet. [10:42] Sa[i]nT: i tried 8.10 beta yesterday, and other than booting slow i have to say the performance is quite nice and responsive [10:43] @saint i have... a little sluggish on my asus g50 :/ [10:43] Hi! How can I make my other harddrive partition start on ubuntu startup? [10:43] If I have ubuntu linux on a vbox with windows XP host how to i make ports 411,80,22 work ? [10:43] !offtopic picca [10:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about offtopic picca [10:43] is there any package that will make my machine test the harddisks when I shut off the computer rather then when I turn it on? It is so annoying to have to wait 20-60 minutes for the machine too boot while it checks one or several of my discs. Checking 400-500Gb partitions take a looong time. [10:43] !offtopic | picca [10:43] picca: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [10:43] Ajp how did you install? windows first? [10:43] Tybear241083: Yes [10:43] ompaul: i was answering Sa[i]nT's question [10:43] AJP: By editing grub.conf. You can either put it at the beginning of the list to make it the default. Google it, there are explanations of how to do it floating around. [10:44] picca, I told you before you were offtopic [10:44] picca, he was told it was not a support question [10:44] bazhang: yes i know and understand - don't need to be told by ompaul [10:45] AJP I had the same problem. got something to do with the Main Boot Record. the problem is that it is not using Grub at start up [10:45] picca, don't debate it then [10:45] ompaul: please just keep out of it [10:45] You guys are uncomfortably strict about asking ubuntu questions. [10:46] Sa[i]nT, there is a chat room #ubuntu-offtopic for that [10:46] Sa[i]nT, there are in excess of 1300 here to keep it flowing we do it this way no debate chatter in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:46] If I have ubuntu linux on a vbox with windows XP host how to i make ports 411,80,22 work ? :(( [10:46] hey, does anyone know where network-manager keeps it's config files, i'm trying to edit some wireless connections but system->networks is non-existant :( [10:47] How do I modify the grub.conf to make it work? [10:49] I have a 70GB NTFS formated partition ... and I'm wondering how to format it to ext3 (to boost write/read speeds) without loosing any info on it [10:50] Hello, I have make a ISO file out of a folder with files that I've copied from a CD, Now I wanna burn that ISO image and boot it. But I've missed something when I maked that ISO file cuz it cant be booted from start. Thanks [10:50] cherva: Without losing data? I'm not sure that's doable, unless you back the entire thing up onto another drive first. [10:51] swuboo: you seem to know a lot and that is why i am directing this to you. do you know anything about the whole change of monitor resolutions in the xconfig file [10:51] swuboo: that is impossible at the moment [10:52] Guys my php is mission pdo_mysql extension. What I did: sudo pecl install pdo and sudo pecl install pdo_mysql and add extension=pdo_mysql.so extension=pdo.so to php.ini but it still doesnt work [10:53] Can someone halp me? I need to modify my grub.conf so I can have my other hard drive partition start on Ubuntu startup [10:53] rajec, #php might be more use to you [10:53] rajec, one assumes you restarted your db [10:54] yes [10:54] Tybear: Some, but definitely not enough to talk someone through it. Again, I'd just use google, it's not too too hard to find examples. The file is in /etc/X11, if haven't looked at it yet. [10:54] AJP, unfortunately I managed to obliterate my windows before I solved that problem. what I did find though is that ubuntu would not boot from a slave drive irrespective of the boot sequence [10:54] !grub [10:54] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

I can't see anything that looks remotely like resolutions and that is why I am a bit worried [10:55] Tybear: What you'd be looking for is a section called, "Screen." In it there's a subsection called, "Modes" [10:56] swuboo: xorg is dynamic now, that stuff normally doesn't exist any more [10:56] swubbo: exactly but there is no such thing there [10:56] ikonia: Screen, Mode still exists for me on my most recent automagically generated xorg.conf. [10:56] the modes won't [10:57] ikonia: He's not getting the correct resolutions though. Does that solution no longer work, or is it just deprecated? [10:57] hi [10:57] swuboo: depends what the cause of the wrong resolution is, driver, monitor, detection etc etc [10:57] for ubuntu x64 [10:57] Hi I have a creative labs SB X-fi audio controller however I can't seem to get the audio to work [10:58] ikonia: do you know how to get better than 640x480 res on my ubuntu?? [10:58] i have a gamepad lying around here, and it does work under linux, but are there any fun games i can play in linux with a joystick/gamepad? [10:58] Tybear241083: what video card do you have ? [10:58] I am fairly sure I have the right drivers installed [10:58] Tybear241083: what video card do you have ? [10:58] Tybear: Listen to him, not me. He definitely knows more than I do. [10:59] ikonia: it is NVIDIA 7050/nforce610i chipsets (onboard) [10:59] swuboo: no no, I certainly wouldn't say that [10:59] Tybear241083: ok (I'm not %100 with that chipset) [10:59] Tybear241083: what drivers are you using ? [10:59] ikonia: Having observed your solutions in this channel before, I would definitely say it. [10:59] swuboo: ikonia: I am perfectly happy to listen to what both of you have to say [11:00] ikonia: onboard Nvida [11:00] Tybear241083: what drivers are you using [11:01] ikonia: NVIDA accelerated Graphics driver (latest cards) [11:01] Vinconzo: you can play snes games. :) [11:01] Tybear241083: what drivers are you using [11:01] Temporary Failure resolving 'ft.de.debian.org’ Fetchedb58,6kB in 40s (1453B/s) Failed to fetch http://ft.de.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving 'ft.de.debian.org' Failed to fecth ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/ubuntu|/dists/dapper/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/libc6/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [11:01] [IP: 64.50.236.52.80] Reading package list...

It is the one that UBUNTU had in the auto detect thing [11:02] Pavlz: Pastebin, man! Pastebin!

Bah, I should reconfigure xorg just so that my xorg.conf is like everyone else's and I stop giving outdated help.

[11:05] BulleT-, you have to do that on the host. [11:05] Pavlz: you flooded the channel it's impossible to read [11:05] BulleT-, like i said earlier [11:05] I wrote with a pencil on a pda [11:06] magnetron I know but I don't know how to do it :| [11:06] Pavlz: it still flooded the channel and was impossible to read [11:06] Pavlz: use a pastebin [11:06] ikonia: I don't know what you mean by dynamic. the nvidia accelerated graphics driver is what it says in system->administration->hardware drivers [11:06] BulleT-, are you using vmware? [11:06] magnetron: No. Virtual Box [11:06] Tybear241083: ok, and is that "ticked" and marked as "in use" [11:07] BulleT-, ok, that would be a setting i virtualbox. maybe their support has some answers [11:07] Tybear: That should be the correct driver, unless there's something funky about that particular chipset I don't know about. Assuming, like ikonia said, that it's listed as in use. [11:07] command line after command line there is the full description of the problems [11:07] Pavlz: we couldn't read your paste, use a pastebin [11:08] ikonia: yes that is in use and I have rebooted. infact I get 600x800 res when not using it. like this I get only 640x480 [11:08] Tybear: Do you have nvidia-settings installed? [11:08] i hate pastebin [11:08] Tybear241083: ok, this all looks a little messy, you have a few lines in your xorg that I'm not sure how they got there [11:08] Pavlz: then I'm afraid we can't help [11:08] magnetron: Everthing I click except NAT it gives me an error. [11:09] ikonia: which lines? I haven't edited it [11:09] BulleT-, i do not provide support for windows software [11:09] BulleT-, ask in ##windows [11:09] Tybear241083: the "nologo" and "driver nvidia" thats normally not needed due to dynamic us of xorg [11:09] swuboo: I don't know if I have that installed. where would I find that out? [11:10] You could try typing it into a terminal. [11:10] swuboo: ah. yeah, sorry to be such a noob but I have no idea what I would type [11:11] Tybear: "nvidia-settings" [11:11] In this case i contact Shuttlework [11:11] Tybear241083: everyone is new at some time - don't worry or apologize for that [11:11] Pavlz: this is a support channel, if you don't want to gain support, then please don't make random noise [11:11] so he recovers my laptop [11:11] ikonia:thanks.... but I know it must be a little frustrating [11:11] Pavlz: please stop [11:11] Pavlz, that is for debian? [11:12] a problem derivated from yours updates of ubuntu [11:12] Pavlz, #debian is the correct channel [11:13] swuboo: the nvidia-settings was not installed [11:13] Pavlz, are you using debian repos with ubuntu? [11:13] hi [11:13] debian says that the right channel is ubuntu [11:13] swuboo: I am currently running the installation now [11:13] Tybear: Good. It might help. [11:13] Pavlz, pastebin your sources.list at paste.ubuntu.com [11:14] please diced to became men don't stop to be kids [11:14] Pavlz, not in this channel but in paste.ubuntu.com [11:14] Pavlz: Misspelled insults aren't going to get you anywhere. [11:14] Pavlz, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [11:14] swuboo: I suspect it will. it certainly sounds like the sort of thing that would help unless some cruel individual put it there for me to think I was near the end. [11:15] Tybear: Well, we should know shortly. [11:15] If you want you can put in the pastebin [11:15] pavlz = biting the hand that feeds [11:15] !ot [11:15] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[11:16] hy, any one know the name of tha linux game, with the guy of the dimonds, very logic game kinda puzzle [11:16] Pavlz, come back when you can. [11:16] i spent 45 minutes to write [11:16] Pavlz: I'm really sorry, but it flooded the channel and no-one saw it [11:17] swuboo: it seems to be installed. what now? I have looked and I don't have anymore options in the preferences -> screen resolution [11:17] you can insert in the pastebin [11:17] Tybear241083: it's important to understandand why your getting a low resolution [11:17] Tybear241083: if you look in your xorg log file you may get a clue [11:17] eg: your looking at the video card, the issue maybe the monitor detection [11:17] i have not copy and paste on xchat for nokia 770 [11:17] ikonia. will reopen and look now [11:17] Tybear: You wouldn't see the options there. Open up a terminal and type nvidia-settings. [11:18] Pavlz: please stop now, we can't help you if we can't see the question [11:18] Tybear241083: finish with swuboo first he seems to be on solid track [11:18] Tybear: It may also appear under System>Administration>NVIDIA X Server Settings. [11:18] swuboo: didn't mean to interupt [11:18] ikonia: Oh, quite all right. [11:18] there is not copy and paste i wrote with a pencil [11:19] Pavlz: so we can't help, lets end this discussion [11:19] ikonia: you're a genius. I have found something like that [11:19] Pavlz: And then managed to type all however many paragraphs into a Nokia in under five seconds? Pull the other one, it's got bells on. [11:19] Pavlz, couple of quick questions [11:20] hello, does tar cvzf archiving guarantees file ownerships and permission , in order to backup my files ? [11:20] Tybear241083: yes i am [11:21] Tybear: Have you managed to open nvidia-settings yet? [11:22] Tybear: When you do, the second item on the list should be, "X Server Display Configuration" That's where you set resolution and such. [11:25] swuboo: I have opened and I am looking. the problem is that I can't resize the window so I can't see all of the options let alone see them [11:25] let alone get them I mean [11:25] Why are there no good FTP clients for Linux? [11:26] Tybear: Yeah, I've been in a similar situation. It's extremely frustrating. [11:26] swuboo: what can I do to get to the things. I see that it has me on CRT screen rather than LCD [11:27] Theaxiom: http://filezilla-project.org/download.php [11:27] Tybear: There should be an autodetect displays button. [11:27] thingy: Thanks, but that one is not that good.

[11:29] Daft_Punk: I would talk to you longer, but they'll get the whips out. [11:29] does anyone know what would need to change to get the ubuntu-eee iso to load from a usb drive? The unetbootin and manual instructions I followed just cause a stall after the boot screen. [11:29] my filesystem has filled itself with 40GB of data but filesystem scanner only shows 8 GB on / [11:29] Sa[i]nT, hmm they? i didnt see they here :o lol [11:30] Daft_Punk: Ohhh, you will. [11:30] Tybear: On the X Server Display Configuration screen? It allows you to choose between an independent monitor and Twinview. [11:30] Sa[i]nT, too late at night, _they_ are sleeping [11:30] Tybear: Not what you need right now. Does Detect Displays correctly detect your monitor?

Welcome! [11:31] AHHH you were right *runs and hides* [11:31] Hi, I'm running in vmware on my mac and I'm trying to mount my mac home folder in a subfolder of my homefolder on linux. Added the needed stuff to fstab file and it works... except that I cannot enter some of the subfolders and there is a "lock" icon on all subfolders including these I can enter. In principle I can chmod the folders I cannot access which would maybe solve that problem... but I'm not sure that's a good idea (I suppose os x l === Aragon^ is now known as Argon === Argon is now known as Aragon [11:32] swuboo: it doesn't seem to do anything [11:32] should I be looking for monitor drivers do you think? [11:32] Tybear: Doubtful. This would probably the right time to take up with ikonia again. [11:33] swuboo:sigh.... ok thanks [11:33] Tybear: Does the resolution pulldown menu offer you anything useful? [11:33] karelm, doesn't your VM on mac offer an option to "mount" a folder as a drive in the VM? === nikola is now known as nikolam [11:34] karelm, i dont think chmod on your home folder in osx is a good idea... that could mess things up for you [11:34] Daft_Punk: I don't really know, but I want to use it later on on a real machine so I'd like to know from the linux side directly ;) [11:34] guys I am unable to get pdo_mysql extension working on ubuntu pls help I am screwed I did sudo pecl install pdo and sudo pecl install pdo_mysql > and then add to etc/php5/apache2/php.ini extension=pdo and extension=pdo_mysql [11:34] swuboo:yes, it politely askes if I would like to go to 320x240. would be useful if I was standing 1km away maybe [11:34] Daft_Punk: exactly what I was thinking [11:34] im trying to boot ubuntu from a SD card on my dell mini 9.. but im not sure if its possible [11:34] Daft_Punk: but weird thing is that I have all rights when mounting using nautilus :S [11:34] karelm, usually you shouldn't share your home folder because you would need to chmod it anyways for read and write access and that is not a good idea, it messes things up... share a folder inside your home folder instead [11:34] the boot menu lists hdd, usb device, removable device, network boot [11:35] im thinking the sd card might be removable device [11:35] Tybear: Well, at least it's got something. Even if it's not something remotely useful. [11:35] I get the error message host cannot be resolved how do I adapt this when trying to install as root [11:35] Daft_Punk: I use it for synchronizing across systems etc... so I kinda need to (it's password protected etct though) [11:35] swuboo: I hear you.ah well, soldier on. [11:35] karelm, hmm well im not too experienced with that aspect... [11:35] Ven]n: apparantely ars technica has a good article about that. [11:35] swuboo: you don't think that I would have monitor drivers? [11:35] Ey. Anyone know where the configfile for gnome-settings-daemon is? [11:36] Daft_Punk: oh well, thanks anyway ;) [11:36] callmetim, got link? [11:36] Tybear: It might be helpful, but monitors are usually quite good at autodetecting. [11:36] karelm, can you create a public home folder to share? [11:37] Tybear: What model of monitor is it, anyway? [11:37] callmetim, http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080727-running-ubuntu-on-the-eee-pc.html ? [11:38] swuboo:in my monitor section of the xconfig it just says configured monitor. should this not say samsung or something as was the case with my nvida [11:38] hey people - if i want the java plugin for firefox, what package do i need to install through synaptic? [11:38] Daft_Punk: It shouldn't be on the os x side I think. I mean, on windows I have it setup as a network drive and I can just easily copy files etc [11:38] I get the error message host cannot be resolved how do I adapt this when trying to install as root [11:38] swuboo:samsung sncmaster 720N [11:38] Tybear: Not necessarily. My xorg.conf basically just says, "A monitor of some sort." nvidia-settings gets the exact model number, though. [11:38] karelm, yeah i know what you mean but windows is much less secure than linux [11:38] Daft_Punk: seems more like that although the smb login is correct, it sees "me" as a different user [11:39] ya sorry, its the eee article i was talking about. [11:39] hmm [11:39] i dont see why i need to do that stuff [11:39] unetbootin worked fine with my usb stic [11:39] guys I am unable to get pdo_mysql extension working on ubuntu pls help I am screwed I did sudo pecl install pdo and sudo pecl install pdo_mysql > and then add to etc/php5/apache2/php.ini extension=pdo and extension=pdo_mysql [11:39] karelm, did you try the IP address instead of the host name of the machine? sometimes the host name cant be found unless its in your fstab, even if you have a router that acts as a DNS [11:39] why is it any different with a sd card? [11:40] Daft_Punk: pretty sure I'm using the ip as I have it statically mapped on my router, but let me check [11:40] hello [11:40] Daft_Punk: yep [11:40] why my ubuntu clock always changing after shutdown ?

[11:52] I wonder why the version of NoScript Firefox 3 add-on is 1.3.2 in Hurdy even if there is 1.8.1.3 available according to NoScript website. [11:53] jarnos: If you add NoScript through Firefox rather than through Synaptic, it will install 1.8.1.3. [11:53] Pavlz, this is edubuntu? [11:53] Yes [11:53] Pavlz, why are you using debian repos with that? [11:53] I did only apt-get update [11:53] swuboo¬ is that good or bad [11:54] Pavlz, but you are using debian repos? [11:54] nnull: I don't really know what the version differences are, but I think it's always preferable to install a FireFox addon through FireFox rather than Synaptic. My NoScript updates itself on a highly regular basis, and I can only imagine it has some valid reason for doing so. [11:55] Pavlz, please pastebin your sources.list [11:55] swuboo¬ ill lean towards agreeing with you, as recently ive had problems installing via synaptic where programs wouldnt install properly, but via apt-get worked fine. [11:56] Where sources.lists ? [11:56] swuboo: Thanks. Rather old version in ubuntu repository, but plugin placeholders don't work in the newest one.

[12:08] nnull, yea, it's too bad they don't distribute a native client. Is it that tied down to windows that a rewrite is needed to make a port? Like Winamp? [12:08] Pavlz, back up data and re-install without debian sources. [12:09] Armada¬ not sure tbh, they prolly just dont like linux [12:09] I can't backup [12:09] nnull, :'( [12:09] Pavlz, then you are in an unlucky situation. [12:09] i got url's in the bookmarks of firefox [12:10] swuboo: howcome I don't go to cli when I do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop? [12:11] you using gnome or kde? [12:11] !webcam >ikonia [12:11] ikonia, please see my private message [12:11] Pavlz: When you back up, those will be saved, thats the point of backing up. [12:11] Is there a way to enable wlan on a laptop without using the keyboard shortcut? [12:11] powertripx: I was really sure it was gnome [12:11] Tybear241083, i would just hit ctrl + alt + F1 [12:11] hello, when I type ctrl + alt + F1 , I can't enter into the terminal, why? [12:11] swuboo: In Intrepid beta the mozilla-noscript package is unable to show placeholders of a flash object. [12:11] you sure you had the / in front of etc? [12:11] magnetron: does that stop x server? [12:12] !webcam >xbxb [12:12] xbxb, please see my private message [12:12] Is there a way to enable wlan on a laptop without using the keyboard shortcut? [12:12] I got only the native shell [12:12] Pavlz: When you pop in the liveCD, you'll have a full GUI to back up with. [12:12] powertripx: pretty sure. I will see what happens with magnetron's idea [12:13] Tybear: Ah, sorry, was distracted. Ctrl-Alt-F1 won't stop X, but it will give you a fullscreen terminal to work with. [12:13] i have not access to the graphical interface [12:13] I tried [12:13] swuboo: at least in Myspace pages. [12:13] Tybear: Ctrl-Alt-7 will put you back into X. [12:13] But it asks to be installed [12:13] hiya chaps [12:13] jarnos: I don't know anything about intrepid. I get placeholders with NoScript 1.8.3.1 in Hardy. [12:13] supposing I log into a server via ssh - is it possible, with root access, to view the activities of others? [12:13] hi, is it normal to fsck to take several days?

[12:14] swuboo: i'm trying to kill x server to reconfigure xconifig to sort out my monitor res [12:14] How do i start samba? [12:14] Hi there, I am really in a hurry. I am looking for a simple way to put the live ISO (of feisty) to usb (so that it boots) FROM an existing ubuntu installation. For example liveusb-creator REQUIRES me to run from a livecd which I don't have [12:14] Tybear: You shouldn't need to actually kill X to reconfigure xorg.conf. [12:15] Tybear: If you've made changes, and want to see if they worked, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace should do the trick. [12:15] Tybear241083¬ ^^ what swuboo said [12:15] swuboo: thanks. I was just following the instructions on the ubuntu forum you gave me [12:16] nnull, k, I've set up transmission and we'll see how it goes [12:16] Tybear: Sure thing. [12:16] chmod -R o+r modules [12:16] why can't i not change the permissions of my files? [12:16] recursively [12:17] Le-Chuck_ITA: you could put supergrub on a usb and boot from usb then set up grub to boot the existing installation [12:17] chmod -R o+r modules doesn't work :( [12:17] hallo there. I'm Russian user of Ubuntu, my problem is that I don't want the interface of the software to be localized, but I want Russian locale to function. Is there any way I can do that? [12:17] DaveKong: no I need feisty which I don't have installed [12:17] I have not again removed from sources.list the URL's [12:17] DaveKong: but I have the ISO [12:17] I see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent#Installing Ubuntu on the USB drive but it's too error prone :) [12:18] I have half an hour :) [12:18] you never said me to do it [12:18] Pavlz: you'll need to re-install ubuntu [12:18] Pavlz: your sources file has been contaminated so your system is in an unknown state [12:18] Le-Chuck_ITA: you have the iso on a usb device? [12:19] vonderer: What aspect of the localization is it you want? Do you just want people logging into have the option of Russian? [12:19] hey i got this error when i try to run ./configure to build a program from src : in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE libraries installed. This will fail. [12:19] TuTUXG: you need kde libraries to link against [12:19] which prefix should i use? [12:19] DaveKong: I have it on my filesystem and mounted but [12:19] TuTUXG: what application are you trying to build [12:19] "The following is an example of what you might end up with, and should be current as of Gutsy. " [12:19] this is the part I don't like in that tutorial because I WILL make some mistake in that file [12:20] ikonia, i tried /usr/lib/kde3&4 [12:20] so I was looking for a script [12:20] TuTUXG: what application are you trying to build [12:20] ikonia, it's the smoothslideshow screensaver [12:20] swuboo: should I be using the kernel frame buffer device interface? that is what the reconfigure is asking? [12:20] TuTUXG: try using the KDELIBS environment variable [12:20] swuboo: no, I just want to be able to use Russian support for ispell and aspell by default and to have fully functional wine (in English locale it has problems with symbols), but I want program interfaces to be in English [12:20] Tybear: Uh... try directing that one at ikonia. [12:21] Le-Chuck_ITA: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=476302 [12:21] ikonia:should I be using the kernel frame buffer device interface? that is what the reconfigure is asking? [12:21] how do you set a static ip in ubuntu? [12:21] Tybear241083: pardon ? [12:21] ikonia, like: export KDELIBS=/usr/lib/kde3 && ./configure --prefix=/usr? [12:21] from the console? [12:21] TuTUXG: yes, thats the idea [12:22] gradin: system>Admin>Net [12:22] gradin: edit /etc/network/interfaces ("man interfaces" for details) [12:22] vonderer: Well, ispell and aspell both can take arguments on the command line that should be able to handle Russian. I suppose if you wanted it to be the default, you could alias ispell or ispellr or something to the correct command. Wine, I don't know about. [12:22] DaveKong: "$ sudo sh -c "sed 's/isolinux/syslinux/' syslinux.cfg2"" :) [12:22] ikonia. I am trying to reconfigure the x server to fix my res. I am in this sort of wizard thing and it is asking me that question. thought it might be familiar to you? [12:22] ok I think I will go for the first route [12:23] ikonia, not work [12:23] Tybear241083¬ what kind of card do you have [12:24] nnull: He's got an nVidia 7500. [12:24] DaveKong: I found "isostick.sh" [12:24] just use nvidia-settings then ? [12:24] swuboo: ok, and is there any way I could uninstall russian interfaces for software without touching dictionaries and wine? [12:24] Tybear241083: don't use th framebuffer with nvidia cards [12:24] remember to run it as gksu [12:24] swuboo: and use russian locale [12:24] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick here this may be more help [12:25] thanks [12:25] hi [12:25] hi [12:25] hi [12:25] doanxuantam: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:25] vonderer: You can have multiple languages installed. Add support for Russian in the Language Support dialogue, and just log in with it set to English. [12:26] if I have a raid with md should I run badblocks for the md-drive or invidiual drives? [12:26] vonderer: Just be careful. I've discovered that when you log in with a non-English language, Ubuntu offers to rename /home to its equivalent in the new language. [12:26] Kehnoo: individual drives for hardware, meta device for software/file system, best to let fsck manage bad blocks for you [12:27] hi all, can anyone help me with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/54219/ ? [12:27] i tried to do what you said [12:27] Pavlz: and what's the problem ? [12:27] I have a udev rule that is supposed to execute a python script when a certain device is removed ... but obviously it doesn't execute the script .. anyone interested in helping me out ? [12:28] with live cd was impossibile to find documents and bookmarks [12:28] Pavlz: you where told to re-install ubuntu [12:28] swuboo: you mean Desktop, Video and other folders? I don't use them anyway, so I don't care. [12:28] ikonia, my fsck process has been stuck for 3 days and the chaps at other channel said I should run badblocks [12:28] vonderer: Yes, I think those get renamed. But I also mean /home itself, which seems to me like it could break stuff. [12:28] Kehnoo: badblocks can be called from fsck [12:28] I rebooted, i found again in the same situation, but the documents are inside [12:29] Kehnoo: are you using software raid ? [12:29] ikonia, yes [12:29] Pavlz: I didn't ask you to reboot, I asked you to "reinstall" ubuntu [12:29] Kehnoo: does /proc/mdstat show the array as in sync [12:29] ikonia, yes [12:29] I can't reinstall [12:29] there are all my documents [12:30] Pavlz: back up the documents [12:30] I've been rebuilding it and trying to make it bigger and it asked for e2fsck and it has been doing the e2fsck since friday [12:30] with shell ? [12:30] swuboo: the problem is, that if I log in with Russian selected, I have software interfaces in Russian and dictionaries and wine ok, but that's kinda annoying having UIs translated for a half or a three quarters. Also, /home doesn't get renamed, actually, I've already switched to English locale [12:30] Pavlz: any way you want [12:30] Kehnoo: what type of array 0,1,5,6 ? [12:30] ikonia, 5 with 9 + 1 spare [12:31] How to backup with shell ? [12:31] i never did [12:31] Kehnoo: how are you trying to extend it ? [12:31] only graphical interface [12:31] Kehnoo: keep in mind that dynamic growth of raid 5 arrays is still experimental [12:31] i did [12:31] vonderer: Ah. I had a problem when I first logged in in French with Ubuntu trying to rename /home on me. Honesly, I'd suggest login in with the English locale and just leaving Russian installed so you can access its dictionaries. [12:31] why would unrarring take me up to 40 min under ubuntu? Im extracting 8gb archive! In win i can extract it in less than 4 minutes!! [12:31] andycas: unrar is a closed format [12:32] ikonia, I did mdadm --grow few times with only 1 disk so it should be fine. I had it mounted between disk additions and data seemed to still there [12:32] i need to burn a cd image of 8.04, i am in ubuntu. which is a good cd burning application? [12:32] swuboo: that's what I've done, but wine… is kinda pain. I don't see cyrillic letters. It seems to use windows-1250 encoding instead of windows-1251, which I want it to use. [12:33] Kehnoo: just keep in mind that it is buggy [12:33] Kehnoo: just because it has worked doesn't mean you should be fine [12:33] ikonia, so should I wait for the fsck to finish? [12:33] Kehnoo: in my opinion yes [12:34] Kehnoo: file system integrity is important [12:34] vonderer: I really have no idea how to fix Cyrillic in wine. Maybe you could just copy in the correct font files? Copying over the Windows Latin font files really improved text clarity for me in wine. [12:35] ikonia: oh, you mean i shouldn't flick the socket switch off during fsck? should have told me sooner [12:35] LjL-Temp: sorry, my bad [12:35] swuboo: thanks, I'll try that. [12:36] <|MUSE|> I am not sure how to use this SWAT for samba. What do I have to configure and how do I access it?

[13:18] Neaai, yes [13:18] jpcooper: I'd guess you will need the 64bit cd/dvd image to start with [13:19] Neaai, okay, so I guess there's no way to just upgrade [13:19] jpcooper; you don't upgrade to it.. you install 64bit. [13:19] which one do i want? hardy heron / feisty fawn.... [13:19] jpcooper: and install fresh with 64bit binaries [13:19] okay thanks [13:19] newbe1; use sudo before whatever command you're using [13:19] jpcooper: confirm this though. that's what i did, but there can be other ways ...

[13:23] paul68: how exactly you get this message ? [13:23] paul68, maybe you should check your /etc/hosts file [13:24] is there any chat room for open suse? [13:24] is there any command for pcre matching by default in ubuntu? if not, what would be the "best" one to use? (=most common) [13:24] paul68: and moreover, does that prevent you from working or is just a nuisance ? [13:24] sci0 also check your event logs in xp look for hardware errors or app-hangs etc [13:24] amanulla: #suse [13:24] Neaai when I need to run something as root like sudo apt-get install I get the message cannot resolve host and then I can enter my password [13:24] it's anoying but can work [13:24] paul68, check your /etc/hosts file [13:25] jpcooper how to adapt in order to solve this [13:25] paul68: then its just a warning i'd guess. as jpcooper said you need to check /etc/hosts [13:25] anyone else have slow flash in firefox on ubuntu? [13:25] paul68, maybe there is a hostname pointing to a machine which does not exist [13:25] like hulu.com [13:25] or maybe your hostname is not in the hosts file [13:25] what's a good software rdp/windows?

[13:27] gauch0, apt-cache search rdp [13:27] hello . i am pretty new to linux but familiar with some of the unix commands and data processing tools. what iw ant to know is if you guys depend on any OS such as Windows or MAC OS for your daily computing tasks or do you guys do evrything in Linux (such as downloads, rip movies from DVDs and encode them, image processing using some tool like photoshop) . I just want to get an understanding if what i need is there so i can migrate ? [13:27] shall i ask what is rdp? [13:27] BadElvis, lucky person. I'm stuck with this T60 [13:28] jpcooper, know anyway to make the apt-cache search look any better? like put something in bashrc? [13:28] jpcooper but t60 is also pretty nice isnt it? [13:28] md22, I do everything in Linux. I am normally coding, though. I sometimes rip some DVDs and CDs, though. [13:28] BadElvis, a bit heavy [13:29] jpcooper, depends on what you use it for... [13:29] nowimproved, I don't, but you could use synaptic for a graphical interface [13:29] I find its output to be sucfficient, though [13:29] md22 you can run photoshop under linux with wine... [13:29] BadElvis, I never really take it out. I wish I had a PC, really [13:29] it was convenient when I worked abroad, though [13:29] jpcooper, do you know how to install the graphics driver? [13:29] BadElvis gimp is what I use in place of photoshop. [13:29] BadElvis, let me see which card I have [13:29] comes with ubuntu [13:29] jpcooper, it would be nice to have apt-cache search to have some different colors and separated a little dont you think? [13:30] xpowertrip: yes, but it still is not a powerful a s ps, imo [13:30] remote desktop client per UBUNTU Hardy? for winfows? [13:30] BadElvis, as far as I know, Ubuntu should come with the right Intel drivers [13:30] jpcooper: yes, but i messed them up [13:30] BadElvis, what did you do [13:30] ? [13:31] jpcooper: i wanted to use the nvidia-settings tool, so i ran nvidia-xconfig which messed up my xorg.conf [13:31] BadElvis, is nvidia meant to work with the Intel drivers? [13:31] !8.10 [13:31] Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! [13:32] BadElvis, you might try just deleting the config file and starting xorg like that. [13:32] jpcooper,BadElvis: that sounds good. [13:32] there was a wrong entry corrected this thanks another small isue I have is that when entering my login I get it in the wrong keyboard layout how do I solve this [13:32] which comes to my question. How can I save the the default xorg config which Ubuntu generates? [13:32] jpcooper: which package contains the driver for this? [13:33] BadElvis, I think that you'll have the drivers if you did before [13:33] * lanoxx wonders why ubuntu uses dash as default shell [13:34] Every time I boot I get safe graphics in 8.04 and I even downloaded/activated the nvidia-glx-legacy driver. I am not sure how to get video support. [13:34] ok, ill restart the xserver [13:35] Isn't the nvidia-glx-new package supposed to support nVidia GeForce FX 5600 too? [13:35] jdcooper there was a wrong entry corrected this thanks another small isue I have is that when entering my login I get it in the wrong keyboard layout how do I solve this [13:35] For some reason, it results in my screen flickering and breaking. [13:36] nikki__ on mine with the legacy I have different shades horizontally atm [13:36] kind of hard to ready [13:36] xpowertrip: Do you use the same card? [13:36] GeForce FX 5600 [13:37] dear all, I need help with Kerberos and LDAP authentication. It gives this error "ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Invalid credentials (49)" after running the command "ldapsearch -b "dc=sc,dc=bibalex,dc=org" -Y DIGEST-MD5" I'm sure that I enter the right password any idea?

Was a 7300 LE PCIx card [13:38] I was thinking of trying out Debian, after I get back home (I'm on a short vacation now). I wanted to ask: Are there many things that Ubuntu gives me that I'll lose in Debian? I don't care much about the GNOME environment, I'm using another minimalist window manager (xmonad, without any environment).

[13:38] *apt-get rather [13:38] xpowertrip; nvidia-glx-new possibly [13:39] hi all. whenever i start evolution, i'm asked for the passwords. where can i enable to automatically save them? [13:39] Hmm... [13:39] paul68, I wouldn't know about the keyboard layout. Is this at GDM, or at the actual console? [13:39] I'm going to get a new graphics card shortly anyway... [13:39] I have an AGP card now, do you think its better if I get a new AGP-compatible card, or I upgrade to PCI-E and get a PCI-E-compatible card?

[13:42] paul68, go to the console, then edit /etc/X11/xorg-config or some similar file [13:42] paul68, search for the keyboard layout line in there and change it to what you want [13:42] jpcooper ok [13:44] can i safely delete the whole contents of /var/log ??

[14:30] Tybear241083: you are further then me I have both but no sound [14:30] erUSUL, do you know, if there is some central server in gnome managing logins? could it be that this one is sometimes not responding?

[14:35] jaspion: on #ubuntu+1 [14:35] Tybear: DPI could definitely be an issue. If you physically measure the screen, you should be able to get a good idea of the correct settings.

[15:37] Question, does ubuntu by default use Logical Volume Manager? [15:38] nope [15:38] hey peeps. is it just me but is everything in ubuntu huge.... I have changed my resolution but looking at my screen everything is so big. nothing is crisp... anyone have their ubuntu looking like good competition for windows? [15:38] you know... Super Grub Disk is a really nice tool to help you out when things like that happen [15:38] ceil420, nope to me? [15:38] alph4_: yes [15:39] how can i install windows if it is impossible.. i cannot create partition because there is already too much - linux - / then /home and swap [15:39] Tybear241083-> look into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf for different resolutions settings [15:39] Tybear241083: yes [15:39] Tybear241083, sounds like you're running a flatpanel, but don't have Ubuntu set to run in your flatpanel's native display resolution [15:39] HAHA Tybear i have it looking much better than windows [15:39] peace:you already have ubuntu installed?

I have also changed everything. it is looking a lot better than it did but stuff seems blurry and I just dunno what's up. also. all the icons etc are huge [15:40] peace: why dont u try virtual box and install windows in that [15:40] Simple question - how do I install a *.deb file with apt-get? I'm so used to using repositories I never remember how to install a file. I know I can use dpkg -i, but that doesn't do dependency checking before installing. [15:41] thiebaude no..because then windows gets errors and wont start - i was trying windows first, linux after few times ago..a year ago i mean [15:41] Tybear241083-> which resolution you have choosen? try crtl+alt+ + on numpad [15:41] I like VMWare vs Virtual Box [15:41] I'm pretty sure Tybear is running his native resolution. It's a 720N, right, at 1280x1024? [15:41] peace:i see what you mean [15:41] there is no graphic hardware on virtualbox :( i mean only software mode on video graphic card [15:41] sudobash: does vm ware have seamless windows? [15:41] jhaig double click your deb file and it should open up with archive manager [15:42] hell [15:42] jhaig man dpkg [15:42] any one can install ati drivers on ubuntu [15:42] grey_loki: I was only able to get 640x480 with my supposed right drivers. I have now modified xconfig to have the new resolution but.... it's not looking that good [15:42] not sure but It works well enough for me... I believe they probably do... I mean they sell VMWorkstation and VMPlayer and VMServer is free [15:42] at least i installed kubuntu rightly? / 5gb.. /home almost whole hdd.. and swap 2gb ? :) [15:42] peace what program are to trying? [15:42] sudobash: Do you know the package name? I'm doing it from the command line. (Remotely logged in) [15:42] Whenever I boot ubuntu I see LVM messages during the init process [15:42] So I was just wondering why it's even there [15:42] dpkg [15:43] Tybear241083, you have matched your flatpanel's native res (probably 1280x1024) with what Ubuntu is running for xorg.conf? [15:43] peace: what program are u trying to use? [15:43] alph4_-> what message are you seeing? [15:43] swuboo: still here.... yeah that is right. I have now taken it to a higher res and changed the dpi from 96 to 72. makes it a little beter but not quite [15:43] How do i change the firefox plugin for shockwave flash?

[15:48] xdcc list [15:48] hello all this is ram.....I have a question on recovery mode in kubuntu [15:48] swuboo, isn't antialiasing used to make fonts smoother as well? [15:49] k0de, sudo update-alternatives --config firefox-flashplugin [15:49] Grey_Loki: Something similar is; subpixel smoothing. [15:49] i am not able to login kubuntu in normal login mode [15:49] What package generates /boot/grub/menu.lst ? [15:49] I am now in recovery mode.... [15:49] Grey_Loki: Upon checking, you're correct. Subpixel smoothing is a form of anti-aliasing.

[15:51] ramk: it runs in single-user mode (i.e. just root) and only starts up a few essential services [15:52] Can I get ubuntu to re-generate /boot/grub/menu.lst if I have a modified one right now and want to revert to the default? [15:52] erver irc.onlinebg.biz [15:52] I just installed ubuntu and don't remember my user password :( is there a way to change it? btw, the disc is encrypted [15:52] xbxb: there a how to in ubuntu forums [15:52] Hey, Hardy won't load up.

[16:04] aa_: no just seem dead in development [16:04] peace:for ntfs you would have to use gparted-live cd [16:04] vbabiy: maybe its "stable" [16:04] Anyone have experience setting up a ASUS nvidia TNT2 based graphics card to work in ubuntu 8.04? [16:04] aa_: don't believe so [16:04] voltage1: I am assuming it would be the same as any other nvidia card [16:05] I'm getting a kernel panic - not syncing when booting up, can someone help me fix this?

It's like the driver won't initialze [16:08] perhaps because my board is only agp 2x [16:08] peace: live cd has partiton editor it is an easy tool... u can also install partition editor now to check the distribution of ur hd [16:08] voltage1: well, that is what I am saying, check what driver you are using, look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:08] how to I check what version of a program is in the ubuntu repository?

[16:11] hi aa I looked at Xorg.0.log and it says plenty of times....(hsync out of range), (vrefresh out of range), (height too large for virtual size) etc.,...now how do I fix all of them one by one...isnt it painstaking? [16:11] peace: np [16:11] hi, how to use scim? [16:11] aa_: or has a lot bugs and very stable? [16:11] do you think it's becasue the board is older than the card? [16:11] voltage1: also, perhaps try to change nvidia to "nv" in your conf, that is the non-proprietary nvidia driver (not very good, but worth for test) [16:11] jpereiran: it's pretty good actually [16:11] rgr I'll try that [16:11] jpereiran: it totally f*d everything up when I first upgraded [16:11] aa_: you arch x86 or 64bits? [16:12] jpereiran: e1000 cards were not supported [16:12] jpereiran: x86 [16:12] aa_: hmm, cool! i guess try do upgrade in my station! becouse i need using the new GNOME! :P [16:12] I want to set smplayer as default instead of mplayer which is automatically installed when adding smplayer. any advice? [16:12] jpereiran: the new gnome is almost identical to the old gnome. My advice - wait [16:13] jpereiran: unless you want kde4 which is pretty cool [16:13] (but also still quite unstable) [16:13] ubuntu is running in low graphics mode jive again [16:13] voltage1: that's a bit weird, to be honest [16:13] my shut down option has dissapeared from my quit menu, does anybody know how to get it back? or what the terminal code is for shutting down? [16:13] aa_: go it, i thought that new ubuntu would the new gnome, :( [16:13] Anybody I see a lot of (hsync out of range), (vrefresh out of range), (height too large for virtual size) etc in Xorg.0.log and it says plenty of times.... now how do I fix all of them? [16:14] jpereiran: it is gnome, sorry to misunderstand you [16:14] aa_: i need the new gnome, becouse i developer for gnome! [16:14] jpereiran: oh great :) [16:14] jpereiran: well, then go for it [16:14] I had and ati card in earlier with the same problem (a PCI Rage II) this one is agp, could that of caused havoc? [16:14] install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables <-- How do I do such a thing? (This is a wine error message) === rubydiamond is now known as noob_ [16:14] voltage1: sorry I am running out of ideas === noob_ is now known as rubydimaond [16:14] voltage1: what is the "safe graphics" blurb [16:15] aa_: GNOME 2.24 in ubuntu 8.10, right? [16:15] aa: can you help me? [16:15] halo [16:15] UBUNTU 8.10 is GREAT!! Finally my X1950GT works good!!! [16:16] hello [16:16] Hi all. Can anyone explain why on earth when I start Evolution I get a popup that says "Enter password for default keyring to unlock" and prompts me for a password? [16:17] I have not enable any password locking of any sort [16:17] ubuntu is running in low graphics mode. Your screen and graphics card could not be detected corectly. Options; Shut down, Configure, continue (or check box to always run in safe mode) [16:17] thanks voltage.... [16:18] jpereiran: :2.22.2~4ubuntu2 [16:18] Can anyone hint me on what to do with the stupid keyring thing ? [16:18] for what ramk? [16:18] where is the option so i can configure if i want apache to start on system bootup ? [16:19] ramk: perhaps try auto reconfiguring X, using: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [16:19] mod_cure: update-rc.d [16:19] voltage1: check online for known issues with that card? [16:19] I installed Ubuntu-Eee and the internet via cable is working. But i can't find the wireless. It freezes completly when i try to turn it on by hitting the Fn+F2. In Ubuntu-Eee there is a Wireless Networks list, but i don't know how to add any to the list. [16:19] voltage1: although I swear I had one of them a few years ago [16:19] IntuitiveNipple, where is the config file ? [16:19] trilobiti: read post #9 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=814271 [16:19] It worked fine for me in 6.06 [16:20] mod_cure: what config file? [16:20] graned it was a faster board/cpu [16:20] KillaloT: afair, wireless has to be enabled when you first install ubuntu on the thing [16:20] thanks voltage and aa...I will do that.. [16:20] IntuitiveNipple, to configure if i want apache to start on boot up. that commands must alter a config file [16:20] aa_: thank so much buddy, see you later! []s [16:20] aa_ , so it's too late when it's already installed? [16:20] you think it's more the card causing the trouble and not my monitor though right? [16:20] KillaloT: well, that's what I read, but I didn't believe it [16:20] legend2440: I will. Thanks for the hint. [16:20] @trilobiti the keyring saves your password for your mailaccount so you don't have to type the password for your emailaccount again in the future... the password of your keyring is to protect your saved passwords [16:20] mod_cure: I just told you ... use update-rc.d (do man update-rc.d to learn how to use it) [16:21] KillaloT: the wireless key didn't work on mine, but I was using eeexubuntu [16:21] KillaloT: but perhaps it is actually true [16:21] Moormann: Can I disable that or where can I find the keyring related congifs ? [16:21] IntuitiveNipple: hehe, I think they took the man commmand out of ubuntu :) [16:21] aa_: out of the users :) [16:21] Moormann: I haven't given any instructions nowhere to save passwords for me. [16:22] Is there software for Xubuntu for laptop so that we can change the speed of those stepping cpu ? [16:22] mod_cure, a good way is to google update-rc.d and then if you still don't understand then come back to us [16:22] NIGGERS NIGGERS NIGGERS [16:22] oh the maturity level is on the rise [16:22] !ban | k0de [16:22] k0de: If you have been banned it is probably because you have not gone along with what is acceptable !behaviour.

[16:26] try the Vesa driver for starters [16:26] not the s3 driver [16:26] Vesa is that mostly for S3 cards or Nvidia as well? [16:26] IntuitiveNipple: Can this be because I changed my password recently? It seems the keyring had the old password of mine. [16:27] trilobiti: Very possibly [16:27] IntuitiveNipple: ok. I'll see more to it. Thanks for the help, and also thanks to the others for the help, [16:30] ok, bye everyone [16:31] hello everyone, I've some problem with the upgrade of Ubuntu ver. 1.04 to ver . 7.10... the error message is this Failed to fetch http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz Il sottoprocesso gzip ha ritornato un codice d'errore (1) [16:31] can anyone help me ?

[16:43] hi there i am looking to install linux on to a pda could anyone advise or direct me to a web link please [16:43] Xcerca, I use flash, I think it works better [16:43] IntuitiveNipple: I'm not looking to drop the packages [16:43] IntuitiveNipple: I'd rather tunnel it directly to some specific interface [16:44] Actually, it has to be done in a PREROUTING command [16:44] does anyone know if the creative labs extreme xfi has better drivers in the 8.10 or is it still difficult to say? [16:44] efj: Well, adjust the rule to use a different target. [16:44] Mechdave , does you CPU usage go up when you're watching a flash movie though ? [16:44] my shut down option has dissapeared from my quit menu, does anybody know how to get it back? or what the terminal code is for shutting down? [16:45] Xcerca, dunno never looked [16:45] balle_: "sudo shutdown -h now" [16:45] balle_ right click on panel and press add to panel , then find the logoff button [16:46] how to I record a copy of audio that is playing through my soundcard?

[16:47] trilobiti: what do you mean? [16:48] efj: and also the NET_TELNET is needed to be setup as well if you haven't [16:48] Hi, does some know how to modify the name of the user? [16:48] efj: you have there " -j ROUTE" which implies there's a ROUTE chain. [16:48] I'll fully explain my issue [16:48] is there an audio channel that would be more appropriate for my audio questions? [16:48] My ISP provides a cable modem [16:48] * trilobiti reads [16:48] to which I must connect both my router and a IDTV box [16:49] the router will get a usual address [16:49] the IDTV box gets a 10.0.0.0/8 address [16:49] But they are on the very same network [16:49] this happens from time to time, i let me drive get pretty close to full. there was about 140 megs free. i deleted something that was about 400. but i'm still getting 140 free. this has happened before and i reboot and the space is back [16:49] I'm just trying to put the IDTV box behind the router [16:49] and make it act like there was no router in between [16:49] how can i avoid the reboot and reclaim this space? or is it only correcting itself in the unmount on reboot? [16:50] I hope I explained well ... [16:50] ? [16:50] efj: suggestion: don't use the ENTER button as if it's puctuation. ;) [16:50] efj, don't, just give it a port on the isp's router, they will look after it [16:50] efj: so just set up the IDTV box as the DMZ host for the network [16:50] efj, the smarts are they know what kind of hardware is plugged in and therefore give the right port the right kind of connection [16:51] hello [16:51] Hi [16:51] efj: You had this setup working before and it doesn't know, or you're trying to set it up from scratch ? [16:51] doesn't now* [16:52] does anyone know if the creative labs extreme xfi has better drivers in the 8.10 or is it still difficult to say? [16:53] paul68: well, surely no one made them intentionally worse. [16:53] linux has change alot since i lasted used it in 2002. i just did i migration from vista 2o Ubuntu and suprisingly all my hardware components have been detected [16:53] hi there. I am using ubuntu 8.04 , boot from cd. Is any setting that i need to set to utilize 2GB ram? [16:53] Rony: no. [16:54] EvanCarroll: lol but is there a way to install these drivers the [beginner way] [16:54] So they gave up on the dark theme for Intrepid? [16:54] evanCarroll: i checked the memory usage and it use only 30% of 2GB ram [16:55] efj: that sounds like u want just use nat a solution is something like this iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.100.0/24 -j SNAT --to-source 99.99.99.99 where 99.99.99.99 is the ip provided by the isp === Esquilo is now known as JulioNeto [16:55] evanCarroll: can i set the ubuntu run from memory? not from CD? [16:56] can someone tell me of any good cli music player that also plays cd? [16:56] Rony: the kernel will utilize all of the memory available to it. there is no "setting" or license required. [16:57] hi.. i get a different hd size when i run conky[fs_size] and df -h.... can anyone tell me how to correct it?[i tried the conky irc , it seems dead... none were responding] [16:57] EvanCarroll: the live cd is 700MB cd. my memory is 2GB. why the ubuntu is still accessing the cd? [16:57] Silv3r_Blad3: mplayer? [16:57] SiliconViper, it' main goal is not only playing cds, but mplayer is good in it as well [16:57] paul68: I don't know anything about the xfi drivers, I'm not sure if they are open and included in with kernel or closed and just packaged, either way, you'll be getting months of progress if there has been any on them [16:57] Silv3r_Blad3, i actually wanted to address you [16:57] I want my computer to look diffrent wheres the best place to look? === yuuki is now known as kia [16:58] Rony: that question makes sense: becuase ubuntu isn't going to load you're whole CD into memory, your cd is compressed. [16:58] which the players you think offer good video filters for postprocessing mplayer or vlc [16:58] niobe: gnome-look or kde-look [16:58] EvanCarroll: thanks [16:58] hi all, quick question, what is a good mp3 player for ubuntu ( looking for something like win amp, really dont like rhythmbox ) [16:58] Silv3r_Blad3, mplayer cdda://[tracknumber[-tracknuber]] === kia is now known as yuuki [16:58] whyameye: lightweight cli musci player that dont have so man y dependancies [16:58] recon61: audacious is a clone of Winamp [16:58] probably what you're looking for [16:58] linny, thank you :S [16:59] sound good, I'll give it a try thx [16:59] EvanCarroll: how to make ubuntu to load the whole CD into memory? how much memory it needs to run from memory? [16:59] rdz: mplayer has too many dependancies and it isn't so light on resources isnt there another one [16:59] SiliconViper, it is very light on resources....i'd say [16:59] Rony: More than you have. you simply don't it is a live CD. Try it and install it. [16:59] Silv3r_Blad3: You're not going to get a video player that's light on resources. [16:59] Silv3r_Blad3, i mean.. sorry [16:59] Rony: After you open something it should stay in memory.\ [16:59] anyone of U know how I can solve this small mistery ? when I play a live radio in firefox works fine as lonf FF has the focus. If I switch to another program, the sound stops . Returing back to FF, the music resumes [17:00] EvanCarroll: i am trying to figure out to run from memory not from hard disk [17:00] Silv3r_Blad3: if you are building mplayer, you can probably config so it is more lightweight etc. Just disable all the options you don't need. [17:00] Hello guys. I have a problem - sound of front left and front right speakers (5.1 system) is weird - they are sounds like superwoofer. Anybody can advice me? [17:00] Silv3r_Blad3, http://dcdplayer.sourceforge.net/ [17:01] Chousuke: i just want musci not video but it has to play cd as we;; [17:01] whyameye: ok ill check on mplayer options [17:01] EvanCarroll: I check the memory from System-> Administration: it says 319MB of 2GB.. it seems a lot of memory still free. === djhash_ is now known as djhash [17:01] Rony: I'm telling you it wasn't designed to do that, you would have to create an iso from the CD Rom, mount it on a shmfs partition, and then chroot into it, and then you would still have 700 megs comprsesed in ram. [17:01] rdz: ok will check that site === pronoy is now known as columban_ [17:01] Rony: what you want to do seems more like creating a ramdisk, dumping the cd contents there and then change the refferences of the running system from the cd to the ramdisk. [17:01] Is there a firewall active by default on ubuntu? [17:02] hi all. I have a private key, I want to make Ubutnu use it to connect to a remote server over SSH to access terminal. [17:02] and how to check if there is [17:02] I just don't know where I have to paste/use the private key [17:02] Rony: Not that I tried ever that, but that's my idea of how it should be done. [17:02] trilobitti: how to do that? [17:02] Rony: It would make no sense whatsoever to randomly uncompress things into memory just so you can utilize more... [17:02] Hojjat: put your public key in the remote server's list of accepted keys === yuuki is now known as kiachi [17:03] :D [17:03] Chousuke: Public key is set. [17:03] Rony: I don't think it's trivial stuff to do. Not for me anyhow. :) [17:03] EvanCarroll: what i get is that Ubuntu does not utilize the whole 2GB of my laptop memory. Have you tried with 4GB ram laptop? [17:03] sorry =\ [17:03] zelrikriando: there is no firewall by default, but there are no app installed that open ports ether, you can install firestarter or somthing like that if you want [17:03] Hojjat: then you just connect [17:03] Rony: I think it does [17:03] chousuke: I could use it with my previous installation of Ubuntu. I just don't remember where I pasted the private key. [17:03] Hojjat: your private key must reside in your ~/.ssh/ directory [17:03] Hojjat: you don't paste it anywhere. [17:04] Chousuke: under what name [17:04] recon61, you mean I should open ports manually? [17:04] It seems the kernel limits the memory by default [17:04] I'm not sure. [17:04] id_rsa or id_dsa or something [17:04] Chousuke: Please notice that I'm "not" using the private key of my Ubuntu account. I have generated public/private key pair eslewhere [17:04] Rony: what I get is you don't know what your talking about. [17:04] Rony: the delays you see when you start a program is because it's all the time being uncompressed as well when it's read from cd [17:04] Rony: Utilizing the 4gb of memory and filling it the brim with stupid shit so it is occupied is two seperatly different things. [17:04] Hello, I'm using apache2 to serve WebDAV repositories for Mozilla Sunbird calendars. One of my users frequently "drops" the calendar file. It seems to be some problem related to WebDAV... [17:05] Rony: The kernel is utilizing the memory, you're just not *needing* it, so you're trying to *create a need* which is stupid [17:05] zelrikriando: no, ubuntu installs no software that open any ports. if you install a webserver is will use port 80 and that port will be accessible as there is no firewall to block it [17:05] EVanCarroll: memory runs faster than the fastest hard drive [17:05] Rony: yep correct...! [17:05] recon61, all I want to do is to send messages through thunderbird.... [17:06] Rony: I realize this. but preloading a whole compressed whole operating system into ram at boot time is stupid. It will happen in the natural cycle of things as you use stuff. [17:06] zelrikriando: well, there is no firewall unless you installed one, check your settings [17:06] s/operating system/linux distro/ [17:06] is there anyone around who has experience with compiz and dual monitors? [17:06] Hojjat: you should be able to just copy the keys into your ssh directory. [17:06] !anyone | ransom1982 [17:06] ransom1982: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [17:07] ok, everything is working except the top 45 pixels of both screens are not refreshing [17:07] zelrikriando: another way of saying this is that your e-mail port is open [17:07] EvanCarroll: if i have 2GB ram and ubuntu only use 319MB of ram. why it need to access the CD, why i can have the cd image in the memory. [17:07] recon61, how do I check for firewalls? === columban_ is now known as pronoy_ [17:07] Chousuke: Okay. I figured that I can first run ssh-keygen -q -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -t rsa to create a set of keys, then overwrite them [17:07] EvanCarroll: cd rom is even slower than hard drive [17:07] Rony: true that. But I think you have to custom make a setup that only initiates from the disk, then create the ramdisk/ramfs, dump the system image in the ramdisk/ramfs and use that afterwards to continue booting and all. [17:08] Chousuke: however, the key I have is generatedby Putty [17:08] hey how do i add an URL to my playlist? I seem to only be able to add Files. [17:08] in TOtem [17:08] I have to convert it, I guess [17:08] Totem [17:08] trilobiti: that i am trying to figure out [17:08] Rony: you're just not making any sense and not lisenting. go away. [17:08] zelrikriando: did you install a firewall? if not there is none [17:08] recon61, I cant remember if I did [17:08] EvanCarroll: go away you simply don't now the answer [17:09] Rony: you don't understand the difference between utilzing ram, and allocating it. use google. === nostferka^ is now known as nostferka [17:09] Chousuke: never mind, PuttyGen does the conversion itself! :) Thanks [17:09] Rony: then start with how to make a ramfs. Once that is done, it's a matter of copying a disk contents to the ramfs and then point the bootprocedures to the ramfs [17:09] andresj, which audio player is this? [17:10] !coc | EvanCarroll Rony [17:10] EvanCarroll Rony: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [17:10] Rony: Like i said, for me this is not so very trivial. [17:10] EvanCarroll: thanks alot. I got in at google. I gonna try at my 4GB laptop to run ubuntu from RAM... no cd access after loading.. [17:10] trilobiti: I already told him *what to do* thirty minutes ago, he doesn't understand why he is doing it and what it is actually going to achive so it is a fruitless instruction. [17:11] magnetron, Totem [17:11] EvanCarroll, please calm down [17:11] zelrikriando: you can use netstat to check , also check you router if you have one, it would have a firewall. probably not enabled though [17:11] Rony: never going to work unless you're going to install into ram. [17:11] Rony: and then chown into the installation [17:12] hi [17:12] EvanCarroll: chroot you mean :p [17:12] EvanCarroll: I am install to ram.. I found it in google thanks for your suggestion [17:12] is there korean? [17:12] <[1]Andy> ciao [17:12] do you know korean IRC? [17:12] Rony: and even then the only thing you will get, is a more work done in boot time (if that makes sense post-boot) and less work on run-time. But, the time will be appx the same as installing to HD less the spead hit of the HD [17:12] trilobiti: yar =( [17:13] !ko | hellohibye [17:13] hellohibye: For Korean help, /join #ubuntu-ko [17:13] <[1]Andy> !list [17:13] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [17:13] i installed VLC earlyer, but the playback is very skippy, it's like the DVD is badly scratched, how can i fix this ? [17:13] Rony: I guess you want to use such a system where you're not allowed to install in disks, heh? [17:13] Dreamglider_: run it from the terminal and post the output to paste.ubuntu.com [17:13] <[1]Andy> hay [17:13] EvanCarroll, how do i do it ? [17:14] need to reboot: see you guys... thanks [17:14] <[1]Andy> list [17:14] Dreamglider_: ALT+F2, type in 'gnome-terminal -e "vlc"' [17:15] Dreamglider_ : have you installed the drivers for your vedio card? the graphic acceleration can make a big difference to DVD playback. [17:16] recon61, I dont know what to do with the output of netstat [17:17] zelrikriando: what exactly are you trying to do, send a e-mail with thunderbird? [17:17] recon61, yeah [17:17] join #gsmnet [17:17] recon61, through my gmail account [17:18] Hi All. I have another question: There are some commands I regularly use on bash. How can I create shortcuts for them on the desktop so they can be run with a double-click? === root is now known as Guest73048 === EvilDaemon is now known as EvilBot [17:19] commands like "svn update /dir/to/files/" [17:19] 한국사람없나요? [17:19] I just installed a new system with the alternate installer and an encrypted root. it takes unusually slow to load gnome (before gnome, everything else is pretty fast). what could be the reason for that? [17:19] 한국사람없나요? [17:19] EvanCarroll, http://paste.ubuntu.com/54310/ [17:19] Hojjat: What sorts of commands? A lot of them can't be handled by X. [17:19] Hojjat: right click on desktop and click create launcher [17:19] Hojjat: you write one-liner scripts that contains each a command you use, and place them on the desktop. Then doubleclick them [17:19] hellohibye, /join #ubuntu-ko [17:19] !ko | hellohibye [17:19] hellohibye: For Korean help, /join #ubuntu-ko [17:20] * Hojjat tries those suggestions [17:20] thank you [17:20] zelrikriando: well, I don't think you have firewall issues, as the pop client initiates the connection. have you looked at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13273 === EvilBot is now known as EvilDaemon [17:21] recon61, yeah and I selected 'no' at the question 'did that page help?' on every single help page from google :) [17:21] djhash: good idea. But if i have a bash window open, and double click them, they try to open in that same window. Can I force them to open a new bash window? [17:22] bazhang, ! how are you buddy ! ? i need help man, please have a look at this post i made yesterday, i'm not getting any replies so maybe you know how to get it working... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=938144&highlight=samba [17:23] zelrikriando: so what error do you get when you try send mail? === Tizz_ is now known as Tizz [17:23] How di I associate an icon with a program listing in the menu? [17:23] salut [17:23] quelqu'un parle français ? [17:24] niou2, #ubuntu-fr [17:24] Fat_Man: right click > edit menu > eight click on item > properties > click on ico to change it [17:24] recon61, it's busy sending the message for a couple of minutes...then I get an error like, smtp cannot be reached or something [17:24] merci beaucoup bazhang [17:24] !fr | niou2 [17:24] niou2: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [17:24] recon61, not sure how to translate the error message [17:24] Ali_ix: Will try, Thanks!

[17:26] zelrikriando "telnet pop.gmail.com 995" on the command line [17:26] *try [17:26] techsupport, I took a look; not very good with samba. try the channel perhaps [17:26] djhash: Oh, thanks! Now, I have a new problem: The bash window closes! It should practically ask me a password, but instead it just closes [17:27] bazhang, not much help form them , they are not responding [17:27] h....e...l....p.... me. [17:27] bazhang, many days i tried [17:27] Dreamglider_: you might want to google around for that message IMDCT there might be something in that [17:27] Dreamglider_: other than that things look good [17:28] bazhang: Sadly, techsupport has been trying to figure out this same thing for several days, and it has us all completely stumped. We've tried everything. [17:28] Dreamglider_: you might want to try the same thing but with 'gnome-terminal -e "vlc -vv"' [17:28] My apologies for the ENTER button thing ;-) I had to leave suddently, sorry for that. Regarding the iptables problem I was explaning above, I am trying to set it up from scratch. It is now working with the following schema: a cable links the modem and a switch. One cable goes to the IDTV box, the other to the router. Router gers 83.*.*.* address. IDTV box gets 10.*.*.* address. To simplify the cable schema, I would like to put the IDTV box behind t [17:28] he router, but it needs to communicate transparently with the modem, not be like other hosts behind the router, which is why I would like to tunnel traffic for its mac address. Is this possible? [17:28] zelrikriando: and tell me if it connects [17:28] hey guys [17:28] bobertdos, wish I knew more about samba :) [17:29] djhash: The command is this: "ssh -l www.example.com PubkeyAuthentication=yes" And it should keep the window open so I can use it! [17:29] djhash: it just logs in and closes! [17:29] is it possible to use Ubuntu, and install the packages manually? [17:29] i have downloaded an Ubuntu 8.04.1 for my friend, who happens to not have an Internet connection; now, he wants to install Mplayer and amaroK === m-y-t-h-o-s is now known as mythos [17:29] recon61, I solved it, somebody suggested the port 587 instead of 25...it worked [17:29] kokozedman: yes, you can dblclick on a .deb and install iot or user dpkg -i pacjkage.deb in terminal [17:29] is there a way to do such a thing? [17:30] kokozedman: Do you have your own Ubuntu system? You could use AptOnCD to make a disk of your own cache and do it that way. [17:30] efj: You want the rules aplied on the router machine ? [17:30] Ali_ix, where can i download the *.deb packages? i prefer that i download them from the Ubuntu repository [17:30] kokozedman: check here: packages.ubuntu.com search you application and download all needed dependencies [17:30] recon61, google advertise for the port 25 though [17:30] efj: and also, is there a reason why as it is will not be acceptable ? [17:30] bobertdos, yes, I do have on a Virtual machine [17:31] zelrikriando: well, the standard port is 995, guess you missed it in the setup instructions [17:31] Ali_ix, thanks [17:31] !aptoncd | kokozedman: [17:31] kokozedman:: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [17:31] kokozedman, aptoncd is nice too [17:31] oops [17:31] recon61, no 995 is for pop right? [17:31] trilobiti: yes. I currently have a MASQUERADE rule. I don't know the exact reason, but it just seem to not work if it is behind a router. [17:32] efj: I mean why would you like to put it behind the router ? [17:32] bobertdos, i'm super newbie on Ubuntu, i don't think i know how to handle that aptoncd; i'm currently on Gentoo [17:32] but, i'll check around about that aptoncd [17:33] trilobiti: I am a geek =) No seriously, I have RJ45 plugs in my walls. It is to avoid having cables lying. If I can solve this with a software solution, then I go for it. [17:33] How do I give permission to let it make a shared folder? [17:33] zelrikriando: not sure, it the port that the google pop server expects connections, port 25 is normally used for smtp connections [17:33] kokozedman: Three's not much to handle. It's a run of the mill GUI application. Basically, you just select the packages that are in your apt cache from the list, and burn them to a CD or DVD. [17:34] Ali_ix, in which section is the Amarok for Ubuntu? [17:34] bobertdos, ah! i see; can it save on a Flash drive, or other directory? [17:34] hey, guys whats a good PC part to buy this christmas, that would work for ubuntu? [17:34] kokozedman: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/amarok [17:35] Hello guys. I have a problem - sound of front left and front right speakers (5.1 system) is weird - they are sounds like superwoofer. Anybody can advice me? [17:35] niobe: give some read permissions to other : 755 for folder [17:35] efj: the router gets 83.x.x.x address on the outside interface I guess. Where does the idtv box gets the address 10.x.x.x? What assigns it that address ? [17:35] recon61, I was talking about smtp from the beginning, for some reason you changed the topic to pop... [17:35] niobe: ho do you want to share it, samba? [17:35] habit: try to adjust the volume from the speakers [17:36] recon61, and my point was that port 25 doesnt work for smtp.gmail.com [17:36] hey everyone, i am running kubuntu now, however i would also like to run ubuntu. i was wondering what is the process to dual boot kubuntu and ubuntu. [17:36] trilobiti: I have no freaking idea. I guess that there must be some check that is made at some upper level, DHCP requests being forwarded to some other host when matching the MAC address [17:36] ljsoftnet, the volume is ok. [17:36] Ali_ix, yeah I wwent right click share and downlaoded smaba but it says that I dont have permission [17:36] trigg3r: the other option is to install them side by side [17:37] niobe: may be it is a system folder! [17:37] anyone have trouble making ad hoc wireless network? [17:37] habit: just adjust it, high to low or low to high, and then try your audio [17:37] kokozedman: Well no, but if your flash drive is big enough, you could just carry the ISO around and mount it if you wanted to. Of course, it might just be easier to copy the raw cache onto your flash drive. Otherwise, you can try the other things we've suggested too. [17:37] Ali_ix, its on another drive [17:37] Hi, is there a shortcut to view a non-graphical boot? [17:37] It is really weird having 2 different hosts on the same network with IP addresses corresponding to 2 different subnets [17:37] efj: you use the router/internet and the idtv box with the same provider? Can it be that the modem does that for the idtv box ? [17:38] danbh_intrepid: yeah like sudo apt-get ubuntu desktop or something... is there an advantage in doing one or the other?? i read that there is some problems running gnome and kde side by side [17:38] Ali_ix, "You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share. [17:38] " [17:38] niobe: check the permissions and owner of folder [17:38] bobertdos, so, it creates an ISO?! well, i have a 2 GB flash, which i think should be big enough (?) [17:38] how do you restart network ? [17:38] efj: well I use multiple ips on the same interface a lot as for that [17:38] trilobiti: it might. They don't want to explain the why actually. [17:38] how do i make a flwochart in ubuntu? what program do i use? i need to know so i can make acollege flowchart for school. [17:38] niobe: well, so you are not the main user of that machine? [17:38] Ali_ix, hahah yeah that will help if its not root [17:38] kokozedman: Yeah, it does :) [17:39] trigg3r: well, the advantage is that its easy. You just have to run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. The other way, you have to repartition, get a hold of a cd, boot, and install ubuntu to that partition. [17:39] zelrikriando: I'm not really sure, but pop is the normal way of setting up such accounts, and the instructions i found on gmail for for port 995 using a pop protocal [17:39] i downloaded ubuntu 8.10 beta and when i put the disk in my ubuntu computer while it was running it asked me if i wanted to run the upgrade...i have another hard drive i was planning on installing to...is it safe to just upgrade or should i install on another partition [17:40] Trilobiti: I am trying to do something like this, but I just seem to have the wrong approach: iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i $ETH_INTERNET -m --mac-destination XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -j ROUTE -oif $ETH_LAN [17:40] iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i $ETH_LAN -m mac --mac-source XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -j ROUTE -oif $ETH_INTERNET [17:40] Actually, I only want to work on those packets at the networking level, not the IP level [17:40] Ali_ix, canged from root to me and the I was able to create share, thank you :D [17:40] efj: Do you have a ROUTE chain setup beforehand ? [17:40] efj: using it that way implies that. [17:40] niobe: yw :) [17:40] danbh_intrepid: have you heard of any problems running them side by side? i really don't want to repartition, because of the loss of space! i just don't want to have problems. LOL === EvilDaemon is now known as EvilBot === EvilBot is now known as EvilDaemon [17:41] It refuses me the use of ETH_LAN and ETH_INTERNET as parameters of the -oif option [17:41] EvanCarroll, would you know why flashplayer in firefox also is slow "jerking" ? [17:41] At least that comforts me :-D I was going in the right direction with this. [17:41] efj: there can't be input interface option in the PREROUTING as far as my idea is about it. [17:41] techsupport: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [17:42] trigg3r: I dont know. I haven't heard much. But, its easy enough to remove ubuntu later... Actually, you should use this command, sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop Makes it real easy to remove later on [17:42] danbh_intrepid: also, if i happen to like ubuntu better, is there a way to remove kubuntu and leave ubuntu without re-partitioning if i load them side by side [17:42] trigg3r: yes [17:42] bobertdos, other than that, everything else looks good ? [17:42] danbh_intrepid: cool thanks [17:42] !puregnome | trigg3r [17:42] trigg3r: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [17:43] hi everyone - being a complete ubuntu noob - where do i get the driver file for this driver? http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015/summary [17:43] its all text [17:43] zelrikriando: 995 is the default port for SSL security, which is used for Gmail's pop server. The smtp uses TLS, port 587 on Thunderbird. [17:43] trigg3r: you will have to follow those instructions, and maybe run this command: sudo tasksel install ubuntu-desktop [17:44] zelrikriando: but you know, thunderbird 2 can set up gmail accounts automatically. === pronoy is now known as pronoy_ [17:44] markus665: try bz2|gz links on top of page [17:45] efj: Just been reading back over your comments. What is the reason for needing to route based on the MAC address? is the 'modem' (ADSL?) keyed to to the IDTV MAC address, or the IDTV device keyed to the modem's MAC address? [17:46] IntuitiveNipple: That is indeed my best guess as to why this doesn't work behind a NAT [17:46] here i am [17:46] @ali: gotit thanx!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [17:47] so that i did a backup === patrick is now known as Guest9328 [17:47] efj: If the IDTV device keeps its 'usual' 10.0.0.x address whilst still behind the router, and you simply use the router's routing table to let the IDTV device talk to the modem, does that fail in some way? [17:47] and then i can download [17:48] !enter | wart [17:48] wart: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[17:49] Guest9328: Well there is a Linux build of AVG. There's also ClamAV and a couple others.... [17:49] IntuitiveNipple: It doesn't keep it. It gets the address that my DHCP server gives it. [17:49] Guest9328: there might be but commercial. You do a search for Hiren BootCD. A liveCD bootable with a myriad of tools and antiviruses, and use that. [17:49] IntuitiveNipple: It has to register at some upper level. I can't simply give it a static 10.* network address [17:49] baastrup: lol, whats to be expert in, type in you favoured tune and hit play :) [17:50] niobe: rsync in terminal is designed to do a mirror sync, there is also some GUI for it [17:50] !antivirus | Guest9328 [17:50] Guest9328: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus [17:50] Ali_ix, thanks again ^_^ [17:50] ok [17:50] Hello. How do I set up a computer-to-computer WLAN? I have this internet connected via cable and want to share it to my other computer via WLAN. [17:50] recon61: hehe do you know how to get one of the linux clients to play our libary from lastfm? [17:50] danbh_intrepid: Actually, the factoid isn't appropriate for him because he needs to scan his windows partition. [17:51] fsl: do you have soem wireless card on your pc or what? [17:51] Yes, on both [17:51] recon61: I have tryed both rhythmbox and banshee without luck :-( === AndyWxy is now known as AndyWxy_sleeping [17:51] Guest9328: but guess what, I've dealt with several windows virus's, and they are a pain [17:51] efj: So the IDTV device relies on a DHCP server, and usually that will be the modem's DHCP server? [17:51] bobertdos: it still lists the virus scanners available [17:51] fsl: try 'firestarte' for squick and simple sharing [17:51] !ics > fsl [17:51] fsl, please see my private message [17:51] IntuitiveNipple: yup that is it. === pronoy is now known as pronoy_ [17:52] danbh_intrepid: true [17:52] Maybe I could add some rules to the DHCP server to forward DHCP requests to the upper level for some specific MAC address? [17:53] hey what is the name of the windows panel software component in gnome (like the taskbar, but which display the windows name + icons) ? [17:53] Guest9328: I could give you further advice in #ubuntu-offtopic [17:53] Hi, can anyone help me? I have ubuntu 8.04 and I intend to upgrade it. Will I have to format partition or will I lose my configuration of ubuntu 8.04? [17:53] ggervais: gnome-bar [17:53] baastrup: sorry but no, if by library you mean your music library you probably should contact lastfm. but still not sure what you mean. [17:53] ggervais: gnome-pannel* [17:53] it's gnome-bar? Thanks! [17:53] ggervais: it is gnome-panel [17:53] 8.04 to 8.10 [17:53] Does anyone know of a Good DVD authoring tool for ubuntu? [17:53] Hi. I cant install Ubuntu 8.04 at the first screen when I boot the cd because I cant push enter when its on install ubuntu. I have an old, old version of ubuntu (5.04) and I want to upgrade it. How can I do it? [17:53] !upgrade | Henry_BR [17:53] Henry_BR: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [17:54] any day agot i take contact with rms, and to the end of the e-mail i send this one: WINDOWS means: w = without; i=intruders; n=nothing; d=do; o=open; w=well; s=system [17:54] efj: OK... I can think of two ways to deal with that. 1) implement a pseudo DHCP-relay in the router using iptables. 2) have the network DHCP issue an address in the 10.0.0/24 sub-net to the IDTV MAC, and use the router's routing table to ensure the IDTV device and modem can talk. [17:54] what version of hiren can you recommend? [17:54] hello [17:54] he replies me saying: Wide to Intruders, Doesn't Operate Worth Shit [17:54] or [17:54] Worse than Idiotic; Nasty; Designed to Oppress the Whole of Society [17:54] warty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:54] ubottu: tnks [17:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about tnks [17:54] efj: Unless the modem and IDTV devices were originally part of one package and specially configured to work together, that should work [17:54] Stephane25: get the latest version cdrom and try that, 5.04 is too old and you can't upgrad eit directly to latest [17:55] how i can install a Gadu-Gadu on Ubuntu? [17:55] That's what I did Ali_ix [17:55] lol @ 5.04 [17:55] I have the 8.04 cdrom [17:55] I burned the iso on a cd. [17:55] try to boot with the cd [17:55] Stephane25: so your keyboard won't work on first menu? [17:55] Got to the first menu. [17:55] It works. [17:55] Guest39088: the latest the better. It won't hurt to try some 2 or three as they have different av software bundled in them and for viruses, the more scan options, the better. [17:55] IntuitiveNipple: It has to be the first option, since the address has to be issued by the DHCP server on the ISP side. I'll give it a try. [17:55] !enter > Stephane25 [17:55] Stephane25, please see my private message [17:55] baastrup: quick web search turned up http://www.freewaregenius.com/2008/06/18/atunes-get-a-sophisticated-mp3-player-with-lastfm-integration [17:56] Stephane25: so what is the problem? [17:56] I just can't push enter on the install option, but i can push enter on boot with the first disk [17:56] efj: I'd try the 2nd solution that IntuitiveNipple suggested. It's sleeker. :D [17:56] Stephane25: hmm.........that's quite bizarre [17:56] efj: Ahhh, so the modem is the ISP's cable-modem is it? [17:56] Stephane25: is it disabled or something? is that a PC? can you choose try ubuntu option? [17:57] I can try all the ubuntu options with F2,F3,F4 etc... [17:57] IntuitiveNipple: Yes it is [17:57] (And yes it is a PC) [17:57] hello all [17:57] efj: And presumably, the IDTV service is provided by the ISP? [17:57] IntuitiveNipple: You got it all =) [17:57] efj: OK, things are starting to become clear at last :D [17:57] My apologies for that [17:58] 사랑하는 사람들 모두 모여서 [17:58] efj: So, the *actual* challenge is to have the DHCP lease offer/accept that is issued by the ISP equipment, and usually is relayed by the cable-modem to a device connected to it, to instead be passed through the router [17:58] 당신의 기느 날을 축하합니다. [17:58] hello guys!!!!!!! [17:58] hello man [17:59] efj: And on top of that, a pretty standard addition to the router's routing table once the IDTV has its IP address [17:59] bobertdos, ohhh, well too late [17:59] I want to install Ubuntu on my flash drive. Not a persistent live install from a live cd, but a full install of ubuntu. I've already installed ubuntu on the flash drive, but I didnt install a bootloader. Someone told me to use syslinux.

[18:00] IntuitiveNipple: That's exactly what I have been dealing with up until now :) [18:00] i think i just need to adjust a setting [18:00] en1gma, have you rebooted? === c is now known as Charitwo [18:00] niobe: fat32 is most common for flash drives, but it has file size limitations. If you are only going to be using your drive with windows systems NTFS is fine. [18:00] yea a couple times but i think i need to tell it to use pcm or something [18:00] Hello, I'll try to clarify my problem. I tried to switch from windows to Ubuntu. I have an older version of Ubuntu (5.04) (I know it's funny) Now. I wanted to upgrade to 8.04. I burned the iso on a cd, it works. I went to the first screen. My keybord works because I can change all the options with F1, F2, F3 and F4. I can also push enter on the Boot with first disk option. But, I cannot push enter on the Install ubuntu option. How can I install Ubutun 8.04 [18:00] niobe: Fat32 would probably be better, because it's not journaled. [18:00] how do i install drivers for atheros built-in wlan? [18:00] niobe do you know what i need to do [18:01] IntuitiveNipple: efj: What would happen if the router gets assigned a mac address by hand which oddly happens to be the idtv box's mac address ? [18:01] bobertdos: ironically, that factoid is wrong [18:01] trilobiti: it would be considered as the IDTV box I guess [18:01] i think i have ack804 [18:02] i mean CK804 [18:02] efj: Well, things just got easier. You can forget about MAC addresses. On the router, instead, you need some netfilter rules to forward particular DHCP requests/responses which will involve IP rules only - addresses 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255, and UDP ports 67 68, and some clever stuff to prevent the DHCP server in the router answering the request :) [18:02] niobe: fat32 is most common for flash drives, but it has file size limitations. If you are only going to be using your drive with windows systems NTFS is fine. [18:02] i tried with 8gb sticks formated in fat32 but it doesn't have an option for ntfs format:@ [18:02] Stirk, Sounds good, its in Fat16 atm [18:02] Stephane25: can you select other options using the up and down arrow, if not your keyboard might not be setup correctly and the enter button not work. just an idea [18:02] IntuitiveNipple: oh, so he has one hdcp server in the modem and another in the router too ? [18:02] efj: I doubt the MAC address of the IDTV device matters, since that only goes as far as the cable-modem anyhow. [18:03] To recon61 : Yes I can select other options with my up and down arrow. [18:03] trilobiti: no, the cable-modem will have a dhcp-proxy that works from the ISP DHCP server [18:03] i see [18:03] IntuitiveNipple: It has to somehow filter on Mac addresses when it comes to DHCP requests [18:03] I have autofs enabled for nfs shares in /net (the default). When I log in, I see a process trying to access /net/myoldserver which hangs, because I no longer have that host up. The problem is that the mount options include intr,soft but the process is uninterruptible and doesn't seem to be timing out. How can I figure out what is accessing this directory? [18:03] Since other hosts still has to remain behind the router [18:03] !install | Stephane25 take a look here, maybe you'll have better luck with an alternate method.

[19:01] well, i mounted my vista drives, so yes. though i never used the my documents folder in vista [19:01] oh.. well, i can see it, but can't see the docs inside [19:02] oh wait [19:02] rangua, yeah.. folder is empty it seems. [19:02] Kiendas: thanks, now i know i'm not crazy (maybe..) [19:02] :P [19:03] so, same here. I knew there was a reason that I never used that folder, as much as windows tried to force it on me [19:03] must be protected/encrypted in some way [19:04] o0 [19:04] Kienda: can you see networks on vista? [19:04] Kiendas: its a shell extension, not a true folder, like a symlink [19:05] hi all [19:05] Jeruvy: do you know where's the real folder? [19:05] i have a question [19:05] anyone has one [19:05] jeruvy: so where is it really pointing to? [19:05] :) [19:05] the upgrade from feisty > gusty says that there was a security flaw that rendered my SSL cert insecure. Where can I read the details of this issue?

[19:06] i use cryptsetup for encrypted swap. it is randomly generated with /dev/urandom at boot, but that stops the hibernate function from working.

[19:13] im trying to install gyachi and i get almost done but i have some Alsa error [19:13] im mkisofs, how do you specify filesystem type [19:14] i need to select iso9660 [19:14] Jeruvy, well i've installed snort, acidbase, and acidlab via apt but they say to navigate my browser to http://localhost/acidbase and /acidlab/ but neither url's work. [19:14] im pretty new at this hah [19:14] hey, who was it that was trying to get into his my documents on windows from ubuntu? [19:14] I just changed the IP address in my /etc/network/interfaces file - are there any other files I need to change to reflect the new values? [19:14] my question is, is there YAST2 for ubuntu [19:14] chamunks: I'm not familiar with acidbase and acid lab, are these packages related to ACID? [19:15] it's actually in the users directory, says google search [19:15] how can I specify which sound card for ubuntu to use? [19:15] Jeruvy, now this might not have anything to do with anything but i've found apache.conf files in /etc/acidlab and /etc/acidbase plus a few .php files [19:15] gigatropolis, you need the program "pavucontrol" for that [19:15] hülye bot [19:15] c:\Users and c:\ProgramData [19:15] Jeruvy, well as far as my research has mentioned these two work with snort [19:16] chamunks: are they ACID packages? [19:16] how do i change umask permanently. [19:16] chamunks: well if it point you to localhost those app probably work from apache, is you apache install working and running? [19:16] for one user [19:16] does anybody know how to control height of compiz window? [19:16] Does anyone know if 2 with you can use YAST2 with UBUNTU 8.04 [19:16] magnetron: I have it. How to specify sound card [19:16] Jeruvy, ill look closer within synaptic for a description. [19:16] chamunks: if they are I'd remove them, and replace it with BASE. [19:16] kskrilla: no sicne YAST is a SUSE program [19:17] chamunks: ACID is hopelessly outdated [19:17] kskrilla: would have to rewrite it to make it work with .debs [19:17] ah gotcha, thanks. has anyone got Gyachi to work with ubuntu [19:17] Jeruvy, that might be why im having trouble. [19:17] saurabh: Try asking in #compiz-fusion [19:17] like i said im new and trying to get gyachi to work [19:17] gigatropolis, select it in the "output devices" tab. right click on it and select "make default" [19:17] Hello [19:17] !hi | amnay [19:17] recon61, my apache seems fine, but i see no reference to these extra apache.conf files [19:17] amnay: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [19:18] Surprisingly , my terminal has no text colors at all [19:18] amnay: Is that bad? [19:18] chamunks: also note that ubuntu is not up to date with snort, and you may find building from scratch a better more usuable snort. [19:18] Well , It used to look better [19:18] oh well [19:18] recon61, though /etc/clutch/apache.conf seems to be referenced somewhere in another unrelated install and that works fine. My suspicions say that it might be just a line somewhere i need to add. [19:19] chamunks: well the apps you mentioned probably have to be installed somewhere apache can find them, so you would need to configure apache so it would serve them [19:19] kitchie: have you got Gyachi to work with ubuntu, and if so or not, whats a good yahoo messenger program out there that broadcasts webcam and reciecs it [19:19] how do u install mysql on ubunto [19:19] !lamp | Tim1_ [19:19] Tim1_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[20:35] techsupport: yes [20:35] no I mean when it detects the internet connection [20:35] flacker, "blank" not actually being the password, just leave the field empty :) [20:35] ikonia, for me its silent [20:35] most of these fixes online show several different things.. mine only shows Digital, PCM, and Master [20:36] techsupport: then it's not configured correctly [20:36] anybody have any idea how to attach a callback to the creation of an xwindow? [20:36] I'm really not sure :S -- I'm sure someone could help you though [20:36] How do I configure it? :) because I have tried nearly everything [20:36] ikonia, what can i do to configure it right [20:36] it thinks the router has a WEP [20:36] aossmixer, ossmixer maybe? try turning the volume up? [20:37] or how to get the order windows were created in? [20:37] I have tried all of the mixers [20:37] the only one with more than one option is Alsa HDA [20:37] i had ubuntu installed first on my pc, and wine was not working with the world of warcraft game i was installing from the original DVD it had a weird compression file like .mpq or something, so i had to install windows just for that game and photoshop, after installing windows xp pro it does not offer me aduel boot menu it just goes to windows, so something is wrong with GRUB loader i think, i have tried useing gparted to fix the boot fla [20:37] I know this is a stupid question, but I haven't done it in a while, how do I turn off my firewall? [20:37] ruediix: it would help if we know what firewall you have [20:38] flacker, then you'll need to get in touch with the owner of that wifi network to obtain the WEP pass :-) [20:38] Netfilter, built into Linux.\ [20:38] Hi, I somehow lost my sound after watching a youtube clip, how can I reset the sound modules or server or whatever? [20:38] I cannot install Ubuntu on my pc.. I get the "BusyBox" [20:38] I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling ALSA and I keep getting errors, as well. I'm nearly positive that I have changed so many things on my system by now through fixes online that it's nearly hopeless to get sound working [20:38] i asked him he said there is no WEP, sometimes it does this sometimes not that's why I'm asking [20:38] The other firewall is working fine, the packets are blocked in netfilter's default "whitelist" settings. [20:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/54353/ [20:38] <_trine> can someone tell me what could be wrong,, my ubuntu 8.04.1 only uses 1 of my AMD CPU cores [20:39] when installing windows first then linux, it seems to work great duel booting, i just really dont want to have to reinstall linux [20:39] I need to change it to a "blacklist" config eventually, but turning it off should do no harm, since I have a secondary firewall. [20:39] _trine: SMP should be enabled by default. How do you know only one core is being utilized? [20:39] for an older celeron at 600mhz, which flavour should i get? [20:39] LjL, I mean netfilter. Somehow Ubuntu installed with it in whitelist mode, not blacklist. I need to fix that. [20:40] do you have any idea of what is wrong ? [20:40] _trine>; make sure you have the 64 bit version of ubuntu (thats my guesss) [20:40] <_trine> blueeagle: because I have looked at the logs and the cpu freq applet only ever goes up to half of what it should be [20:40] ChanOP, does the desktop one come in 32 or just 64? [20:40] ruediix, i don't understand, i don't know of any "whitelist" or "blacklist" modes for netfilter. "iptables -L" will show what, if any, rules are active [20:40] <_trine> blueeagle: I'm not using the 64 bit version [20:40] Hello all [20:40] deaftone, either vanilla Ubuntu or Xubuntu for that, Kubuntu would probably be a little hard on newer versions. [20:41] deaftone, my original problem is with grub, sorry for any confusion i was trying to help the other dude out with his question [20:41] _trine: Do you have a 64-bit processor? [20:41] mhm, well, it would be a closet comp anyway, only time kde would be runing would be through vnc [20:41] <_trine> blueeagle: yes [20:41] ChanOP, np [20:41] asds [20:41] does anyone know how I should best go about fixing ubuntu for sound? [20:41] привет [20:41] deaftone this is my original questions [20:41] it says it's whitelist, I don't know why my port keeps registering as closed then . . . [20:41] _trine: Well, that might explain it. [20:41] <_trine> blueeagle: does that mean I have to use the 64 bit version to use both cores [20:42] I installed ubuntu THEN windows, grub boot menus does not show anymore [20:42] "Default Accept" is whitelist. [20:42] i have the ubuntu restricted extras package installed but i cant get dvd playback to run, any ideas? [20:42] ruediix: what says it's a whitelist? [20:42] i need duel booting for my games and photoshop [20:42] !medibuntu > CorbinFox [20:42] CorbinFox, please see my private message [20:42] ruediix: and, what ports are supposed to be open? they might only be open to some given subnet that's not the one you're trying them from [20:42] !usb>DasEi [20:42] !usb>DasEi1 [20:42] DasEi1, please see my private message [20:42] _trine: I really haven't tried running the 32-bit version on any 64-bit system so I wouldn't know. Ask ChanOP as he brought up the 32 vs 64 bit. [20:43] ruediix: default accept would be a blacklist [20:43] LjL Well by default all over 1000 on whitelist. [20:43] <_trine> blueeagle: ok [20:43] I am having problems installing Ubuntu on my pc.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/54353/ Any help ? [20:43] how to use ICQ if Pidgin says 'version is too old'? any ideas [20:43] ruediix: a blacklist lets you explicitly mention what you want banned [20:43] leslieviljoen, thanks for the correction. [20:43] ruediix: err, but if nothing is *running* on them, they're closed anyway [20:43] ChanOP: You'll need to re-install GRUB as Windows overwrites the MBR. And it's "dual", not "duel". [20:43] <_trine> ChanOP: do you know why my ubuntu only uses 1 core of my AMD [20:43] get the 64 bit version, 32 will work but notas fast [20:43] exit [20:43] _trine: i am using ubuntu 64 bit on a dual core Athlon [20:43] <||arifaX> Klaus8: does the livecd work at yours? [20:44] i need some help. I'm trying to set up a second monitor on my system. Everything goes ok to set it up, but the max resolution nvidia settings will allow on the second monitor is 640 x 480 [20:44] its like have a v12 engine but only useing 6 cylinders [20:44] LjL, yes there are things running, or trying to run. I'll have to figure it out. Maybe it's my secondary firewall or my ISP is using a screwy throttling method again. [20:44] ||arifax: no [20:44] <_trine> md22: yes does that mean the 32 bit version I have installed won't use both cores [20:44] it doesnt [20:44] ruediix: why have a secondary firewall? there is no benefit to more than one firewall [20:45] _trine: 32bit will use both cores but not the same as a x86_64bit install [20:45] leslieviljoen, because I need to share my network. [20:45] ruediix: either a firewall blocks a port or not. One firewall is confusing enough [20:45] <_trine> ok guys I'll reinstall with the 64 bit version [20:45] _trine:it will jus tghat it will be 32 bit [20:45] this actully reminds me now that i have to reformat my ubuntu to install the 64 version instead of the 32 xD [20:45] ruediix: are these two firewalls on different machines? [20:45] *just that [20:46] i used torrent to download Intrepid....im at 3 Gb seeding. Do you think its bad karma if I try out the new version without having shared at least 4 Gb? Will the Linux deities forgive me? [20:46] is anyone running a GTX 260 with ibex? [20:46] _trine:if you have 4GB oor more of ram then 64 bit would make sense but lest than that 32 bit would be good [20:47] <_trine> md22: I only have 2 gig [20:47] belkinhelp2_: you're forgiven, go in peace [20:47] I'm looking for a way to easily convert ogg to mp3 - i have tried with ogg2mp3, but it doesn't get the id3tags with the conversion ...

I was told that this was caused by installing an update to GVFS. Is this true? [23:35] FlyerFanatic: I think in one of my systems that was due to my faulty floppy controller being plugged in.
