[00:04] mecha: Nope i'm using a gateway mx6436 [00:04] Azhi_Dhaka: I've heard VirtualBox, as it's open-source [00:04] how do i turn on/off services in ubuntu? e.g. what services goes on at startup. without using the "Administration -> Services" ?

[00:07] kFj: are you on Xubuntu? [00:07] no. mint [00:07] matisse: deconnect and reconnect [00:07] hey, how is linux at booting from and running on, a fat32 formatted drive? [00:08] kFj: mint I think has some other places for stuff like that, I'm not sure, never used it [00:08] whats a good editor with syntax highlighting that might be a little lighter then quanta but still has ftp functionality? [00:08] ie, if i format /boot and / as fat32, will anything ever load? [00:08] Bizzeh: err, quite badly i'd say [00:08] Hmm... a VMWare image on OSX would work on Linux VMWare? [00:08] Bizzeh: don't bother, use EXT3 with a fat32 partition for data [00:08] DigitalFiz: I'm sure vi can do it. [00:08] Mecha25, whats the command for samba filesharing service ? [00:08] Bizzeh: i can't say it's impossible, but it's probably pretty close. [00:08] Hello. I was just on my computer when the power went out.

[00:08] Mecha25: that isnt what i asked :) [00:08] Azhi_Dahaka: in theory [00:08] mecha: you should know that i've tried adding Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "enabled" And [00:08] is there a way to make thunderbird go to the systemtray when it is minimized??? [00:08] /boot doesnt really matter, but / MUST be fat32 [00:08] jamesish, is there a gui to vi that isnt super complicated like the console version? [00:09] kFj: I have no idea, there's a Samba settings program that is either not installed or turned off by default in the Administration menu [00:09] matisse: usually the ip expire every 120 mins for a normal router [00:09] I mean so that u can continually see if u are getting email? [00:09] matisse: give it 2 minutes I think [00:09] mecha; Section "ServerFlags" Option "AIGLX" "off" but all this did was disable compiz fusion stuff [00:09] install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables [00:09] what does that mean?

[00:15] Mecha; Cause this was the reason why i uninstalled linux the last three times lol [00:15] deunnero: first thing's first, turn OpenGLOverlay on [00:15] possibly, let me see [00:15] Mecha; k [00:15] mecha; do i need to turn video overlay off? [00:15] then add a new section, called "Module" [00:16] ThexLeopard: or audio->device [00:16] deunnero: no, both should be on I think [00:16] When I start X, I get no video. I have 2 monitors plugged in. I want X to be on the dvi one. However, when not using X (I'm in a TTY now), it shows on my secondary monitor, the VGA [00:16] Mecha; New section created [00:16] deunnero: in that section (make sure not to forget the EndSection) add the following 2 lines [00:16] nah im still getting either one channel or the other [00:17] Load "glx" [00:17] and i dont have audio => device [00:17] Load "dbe" [00:17] and that should do it [00:17] dmsuperman: what video card do you have?

[00:19] Mecha25: 8600gt [00:19] dmSuperman: are you using the opensource or proprietary drivers? [00:19] dmsuperman: if you don't know, then probably open source [00:20] ThexLeopard: but I think the option you search is in the VLC menu. you must play a music file to make the menu available [00:20] when I use htop, what does "load" mean? [00:20] !load [00:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about load [00:20] Mecha25: I got the drivers from nvidia.com [00:20] Mecha25, nothings been caused, its just that my stereo speakers have had it, and i have to play music through my amp, which is a mono speaker, so i only get either the right or left channel, and i want both but in mono without changing the file format [00:20] euxneks: it's a weird concept, if you're not running a server, it won't be useful [00:20] Mecha25: 173.14.19 I think [00:20] dmsuperman: nvidia.com hosts linux drivers?? really? never knew [00:20] hello again [00:20] Mecha25: Yup [00:20] Mecha25: What else would I use?

[00:21] URGENT-help: why do you want to create a root user? [00:21] i take it theres no easy quick fix then rofl? [00:22] thexLeopard: you can get a converter plug, it'd save you the hassle of merging files every time you want it, probably costs about $5 at radio shack [00:22] I'm tempted to !root [00:22] Mecha25: I don't even have X [00:22] ThexLeopard: did you check my last message?

[01:17] ok, its just an example [01:17] Mecha25: =O [01:17] Snowniak: try #freenode for general IRC help [01:17] Snowniak just type nick b4 ur msg [01:17] Mecha25: How can you say you've LIVED?! [01:17] Snowniak: There ain't no "highlight" command, you just say their name and it'll grab their attention with most clients.

I can't find it. [01:19] mecha, not really - it's a window manager, GNOME on the other hand is a Desktop Environment, which means you can use fluxbox as a window manager within GNOME. [01:19] I already tried that. [01:19] KenBW2: ...? [01:19] LjL: the j looks like an elephant's trunk [01:19] if you say so [01:19] yeah, like postgreSQL [01:19] LjL: or is it just me [01:20] xavura: try using / to search in the man page [01:20] KenBW2: /whois ljl and find out what my nickname is about [01:20] unop: i see. so you use it for windows placement? [01:20] wsa curious xD [01:20] mecha: I think it takes metacity's place [01:20] *was [01:20] mecha, yea, but i don't use GNOME at all - just fluxbox by itself [01:20] LjL: that explains a lot [01:20] mecha: I don't know what to search for, exactly but I can try. [01:20] blak: uhm, your list seems alright, yet Hardy doesn't have debhelper 7 [01:21] How can I get the devices listed in /dev/ to refresh themselves?

[01:21] how can i find out if my wireless card can bridge? [01:22] Ward1983: what sort of load balancing? [01:22] running top shows that xOrg is the culprit [01:22] Xavura: o sorry [01:22] one second [01:22] s/xOrg/Xorg/ [01:22] * dellubuntu why [01:22] Xavura: try typing the full name that way i dont get pinged [01:22] LJL: http://pastebin.com/d187ea771 === dellubuntu is now known as DIL [01:22] mecha, yes, metacity is the default window manager on GNOME [01:22] tat-, just flow / connectionbased, i want to loadbalance between my own network and the wifinetwork of my neighbour (yes i got his permission) [01:22] mecha: I thought 5 out of 7 letters was enough to auto-complete.......... [01:23] Ward1983: thats possible [01:23] how do I uninstall something installed with module-assistant? [01:23] Xavura: i guess not [01:23] tat-, how? / what is the name so i can google it [01:23] Mecha25: I dunno what to search for. [01:23] Xavura, case matters tho :) [01:23] blak: well, try removing that package, i don't know where it came from - it's definitely not in hardy [01:23] Not for my client unop. [01:23] unop: ty. do you know how to get to those metacity settings? [01:23] most likely it would have come from the optimized kernel for eeepc from array.org? [01:23] you sure i should remove that? [01:23] Ward1983: google linux load balance router [01:24] boooring [01:24] tat-, ok [01:24] mecha, now that's beyond me - could probably be one of ~/.gnome2/*session* - not sure, ask someone who uses GNOME [01:24] Any way to determine why Xorg is consuming so many resources? I have compiz disabled, with just a terminal with 2 tabs, firefox, system monitor, anow xchat, but my CPU is jumping around averaging 20%. running top shows me that the culprit is Xorg. Running Gnome. [01:25] * unop & [01:25] where's the sshd service at? /usr/sbin/sshd doesn't let me login with any user off the system [01:25] Xavura: what are you trying to do? [01:25] unop: do you know if emerald interferes with metacity somehow? [01:25] Not quite sure why but I find Kubuntu (basically the same as ubuntu but with KDE instead of gnome) so very fun/rewarding to use :> [01:25] could someone help me with MySQL? I want to create a database on my host but i don't have cPanel, so i need to create it manually, but i don't really know how. [01:25] Mecha25: Scale down with mencoder, someone told me it's -vf scale=... so nvm [01:25] Elda: it is [01:25] blak: ah, the eeepc kernel - i see, that's likely. well, still, it requires debhelper 7, so you either get debhelper 7 from the same place, or remove it, or remain with a broken APT [01:25] Ward1983: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2004-October/007375.html [01:25] kubuntu is slow [01:26] Not really deaftone :> [01:26] rename drive ? [01:26] ljl could i harm my system doing this, as in, making my wireless never work again? [01:26] i tried xubuntu, kubuntu, both load at least 3x slower than the slack i had on before [01:26] Elda: it just happens to be that my personal opinion is that gnome is more fun [01:26] my kubuntu is fast [01:26] blak: possible [01:26] blak: well, "never" is a big word [01:26] asdf [01:26] ok so ljl how do i go about doing this? [01:26] and can you help me undo it if it doesnt work lol? [01:26] slackware is bare bones though and only what you add to it [01:26] its all fast when you switch from windows vista [01:27] one last time, before I get completely sidetracked: does ANYONE know why BC (in terminal) has suddenly stopped doing absolutely anything, even when I run bc -h [01:27] hello aren [01:27] * mecha tosses vista cd into the round file [01:27] Vista isn't so bad on my laptop and I find it pretty, fun to use. But it doesn't feel as "inviting" as Kubuntu :( [01:27] ugh Vista [01:27] blak: no, because i need to head to bed very shortly. try perhaps enabling that array.org repository again, and you might find more specific help in #ubuntu-eeepc [01:27] mecha: I run vista on 1GB RAM and a 1.8GHZ single core [01:27] I wonder how it could be "fun" to use an OS [01:28] ok [01:28] Schuenemann, the PhunOS! [01:28] I dont know Schuenemann but for me it is [01:28] thanks LjL [01:28] heheeh [01:28] Schuenemann | !compiz [01:28] Vista is very slow to use. Apparently it speeds up though after a while, but I've not used it that long. [01:28] mecha: vista only sucks by default, once you tweak it, it's way way better than XP. I still use linux about 80% of the time, but it's there for those times I just straight up need to run a windows-only app [01:28] mecha, compiz could be beautiful, but fun? [01:28] where exactly does b43-cutter store the firmware it downloads? I wwant to go back to hardy after a Intrepid upgrade, but don't want to have to haul my computer over to the router to get wireless going again. figured i can just save it and go from there [01:28] Mecha, your entitled to that :p [01:28] Mecha25: fo sho [01:29] I find that vista does runny pretty slick, ya just have to throw some descent hardware are it. And it loves its RAM [01:29] I used gnome for a while, but it did not seem to have the *umph* to it [01:29] at least imo [01:29] Schuenemann: u dont get out much do you? [01:29] Elda, the what? [01:29] mecha, huh? [01:29] However I still prefer some of the gnome apps such as the sound mixer [01:29] to each their own, that's why Dual Boot and multi-front-end linux os's were invented [01:29] Vista loves RAM? You mean it hogs memory more like. [01:29] The umph... the feel, etc [01:29] Schuenemann: nuthin im just playin [01:30] !ot [01:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[01:31] It is enabled and it says the initiate settings are , but when I try that nothing happens.

[01:48] I was thinking of storing all the files for my webserver on my 80GB drive with daily backups to the RAID drives and use the two 750GB drives for file storage and sharing among my other network computers. Does this sound good or would you guys suggest a better setup? [01:48] If anyone could lead me to a tutorial explaining how to add software RAID after ubuntu has been installed, that would be great. Thank you!! [01:48] Templar_Xion, folder [01:48] pen, a folder is a type of file. [01:48] Lul2x: it is called mdadm [01:48] rootsnatch it says Directory or file not found [01:48] Technically it's a directory, but you get what I mean. [01:48] Lul2x: google around for that [01:48] thanks rootsnatch, I'll look that up [01:48] torrentz.com [01:49] Templar_Xion, I like to call it a folder [01:49] pen, Call it anything you want, but know it's in reality a directory. :) [01:49] pen: Did you used to use Windows?

[01:49] Xavura, I switched from windows :) [01:50] pilot419: try sudo apt-get install alsa-utils or alsa-base can't remember [01:50] pen: So did I, I still call them folders sometimes :P [01:50] Foo.zip has foo1, foo2, foo3, files, he wants foo1/foo1 foo2/foo2 foo3/foo3 [01:50] why does the Synaptic Window goes grey? [01:50] Templar_Xion, directories have a folder icon ;-) [01:50] :P It's a mutiny! [01:50] Azhi_Dahaka: because it's working [01:50] Xavura, and I use nautilus which is why I'm so stubborn :) [01:50] Help please, i edited sudoers to allow shutdown without password, if i run the shutdown command from the terminal it wont ask for a password. but if i run the shutdown command from a script it asks for a password. any ideas? [01:50] folders make more sense then directories in my opinion [01:50] pen: Am I on the right track of what you want? [01:50] Templar_Xion, yea [01:50] Templar_Xion, this is a scrot "screenshot" of 2 lcds - a 1920x1200 and 1280x1024 sitting next to each other [01:51] http://www.fiyawerx.net/images/newTheme.png [01:51] A directory (ala phonebook) is an index of sorts that allow you to sort through and find where something is located. A folder would be the place in which said information is stored. [01:51] This also applies by way of filing cabinets ;) [01:51] im sure you could just have a script or whatever that takes the scrot shot and dumps it into your web directory [01:52] Scrot shot, haha. [01:52] That sounds like it could be painful? [01:53] No idea what a Scrot is though :> [01:53] #vnc [01:53] On my current gentoo install I have /home on a separate partition. I have read briefly that I can keep that in-tact when installing ubuntu. Does anyone know if this option is available during the ubuntu server install? Thanks. [01:54] hello [01:54] Hiya [01:54] i installed that Compiz thinge but i don't know how to enable the Expose-like features [01:54] i finished now to install edubuntu [01:54] Patrick_, just tell the installer where to mount /home to.. HOWEVER.. shareing /homes btween disrtos can cause odd issues at times.. due to ownership, and other differances [01:54] Azhi_Dahaka: You want the compiz fusion settings manager thing, not sure how you can get it though [01:54] Patrick_: I would just install normally with / and /home on a single partition and then change fstab myself afterwards [01:55] Patrick_, i tend to do what jrib says also. [01:55] it needed of many updates and to remove many old packages, and to remove packages too much hard [01:55] for a laptop [01:56] How would I go about controlling X11 remotely? [01:56] thanks for the input guys, I'll look into the fstab option and/or maybe just backup my /home files and copy them to the new partition [01:56] i would like to point out a nice way to share /home, but it may take a little reading, mount your shared home drive as /mnt/home, then in your fstab mount /mnt/home/distro to your /home [01:56] I want to enable the Expose-effects [01:56] greencookie, clarify what you want to do exactly... [01:56] then i don't understand why in edubuntu, that stars with GNOME, in the list of packages [01:56] i have a multi-boot setup with 5 different distros, and that one works wonders [01:56] so, i installed the compiz packages, but i don't see where to enable that [01:56] !dvd [01:56] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [01:57] there are too packages for KDE, which are impossible to install, so i think is better to remove from edubuntu [01:57] dr_willis: I have booted up with Damn Small Linux on a computer and want to connect to my computer at work (which is on the same network). [01:57] hey - i got avast for ubuntu, & i am wondering: when i scan my ntfs drives with it, will it detect windows viruses? or not [01:57] just linux viruses? [01:57] Will someone please help me set up print services so I can print over wireless to printer connected to Ubuntu ? [01:57] greencookie, You can ssh -X remote box. and run X apps.. if you wanted.. [01:58] greencookie, 'connect' is a little vague. :) Or ya could install/setup vnc/freenx and have a remote desktop in a window. [01:58] dr_willis: i have a ssh -X ****@199.**.***.*3 running (which is how I'm using irssi) but when I type startx, it doesnt work. [01:59] does anyone know? re avast scanning for windows viruses in ubuntu? [01:59] I just have a Damn Small linux system with tty and X server (which I have turned off) [01:59] greencookie, thats because you DONT do 'startx' You run specific X apps [01:59] greencookie, try xterm & [01:59] greencookie, the local machine is running linxu or windows? if its using windows. You will want to install xming, [02:00] dr_willis, or... shudder... cygwin [02:00] I need help setting up my wireless network, all I want to do is print from a WinXP machine to a Linux box. [02:01] voglster, no thank you.. :) xming works good === chris_is_cool is now known as HexFlash [02:01] dr_willis, hence the.. shudder ;-) [02:01] remote desktop into a client that is at the login screen ?? is it possible [02:01] dr_willis: I am running linux on the local machine (but it doesnt have X configured to start at boot). What I want to do is: when I log in to my local machine, I want to somehow be able to start the Xserver on my remote machine (which I will be able to fully control from my local one). Is that confusing? :( [02:01] greencookie, you need to have an xserver running on your local machine ;-) [02:01] Hello every one [02:01] greencookie, you must have X of some time startting locally, so you got a place to display to. [02:02] dr_willis: So its like I have logged into my machine at work (the remote host) but I physically am working on my local host. [02:02] kris, hi [02:02] I got a question [02:02] kris, just ask the question [02:02] lol [02:02] Can u run Fedora and Ubuntu? [02:02] voglster: Is there no way I can tunnel the remote X session onto my puter? [02:02] greencookie, the kdm/gdm menus at one time had a 'remote login/ssh login' optuon that just popened up a bare desktop with a terminal + ssh, with THAT you could ssh to the remote box and start gnome-session or similer.. but not 'startx' [02:02] something like remote desktop sharing. [02:02] at the same time? [02:02] and another how do u fix broken stuff [02:02] greencookie, if its on a LOCAL LAN. you could do a similer task with XDMCP also. [02:02] like my kde4 is all messed up [02:03] greencookie, but i dont think xdmcp over the internet is a good idea. [02:03] yes! dr_willis I am listening. XDMCP [02:03] i got something the hardware guys couldnt answer... is it possible to remove the intel GMA950 video from a toshiba laptop and replace it with an intel video system, or to use the pci slot off a laptop to run a video card that does 3d rendering [02:03] kris depends on the version number of the "stuff" you mention, and the answer to the first q is yes [02:03] dr_willis: I am on a college network. === sgallinger is now known as n [02:03] Any hardware gurus around? [02:03] and so is my remote computer. [02:03] greencookie, thats not ecactly a 'safe' network then > :) [02:03] Well Um lemme be more clear about the kde === n is now known as bazaa [02:04] greencookie, if you run an xserver locally... you have a place to display the x programs running remotely... i dont know how better to explain it... but xServer needs to be running locally.. then when you ssh and forward ports any X porogram you run on the remote machine will be displayed on the local machine [02:04] dr_willis: I don't have any 'safe' information :) just some music files and such stuff :0 [02:04] I would start up X with a basic window manager, and ssh -X to the remote box, and run whatever apps ya need. [02:04] Doc8404: replacing the on-board video card is almost imposs, and you cannot use pci, since its hard to imagine a PCI card with a VGA/DVI port on it :) [02:04] how can i suspend the pc from the termianl? [02:04] greencookie, or just mount the remote box locally with sshfs.. depends on what tasks you want to do. [02:04] Their was a bug report and i could not figure out how to report it and im sure i can get the actually issue and report it but how does it get fixed [02:04] yeah see i figured that the intel GMA950 is motherboard not a card [02:04] Ok dr_willis, will I have to modify anything on my remote machine's configuration to allow for that? [02:04] once i report it [02:05] greencookie, for xdmcp yes.. for sshfs - no. [02:05] dr_willis: I want to try xdmcp [02:05] how can i login through ssh to a kubuntu? i start /var/run/sshd, get the login prompt but gives me an access denied [02:05] kris, some developer might wander by, look at the issue, like it, and fix it. [02:05] Or if it doesnt work, I'll just ssh from tty and forget about x:) [02:05] greencookie, time to check out the factoids and stuff then. :) [02:05] Or kris, it could get fixed while some other issue gets fixed [02:05] !ssh > deaftone [02:05] deaftone, please see my private message [02:05] is there a quick any easy way to change to 16-big color mode ? [02:05] greencookie, all you have to do is ahve a local X going, and ssh -X over.. and you can run anything ya want. [02:06] but i don't understand [02:06] dr_willis: let me try that. [02:06] jrib, thx! [02:06] i dont think ive ever reported anything... lol [02:06] Just report it [02:06] dr_willis: But I don't like fluxbox (default on DSL) can I startx just into a terminal? === scorcher7 is now known as mrrxt [02:07] hey, my firefox close itself when play flash like youtube, sound and video ok...

[02:10] hello [02:10] How can I put a shortcut for terminal on my desktop? [02:10] greencookie, you do NOT NOT NOT use 'startx' [02:10] kbrosnan, shockwave 9... [02:10] greencookie, startx starts up the X server.. you do not do that. [02:11] Mike020: create a launcher [02:11] Mike020: Create a launcher that launches terminal [02:11] greencookie, launch just a X terminal with no windowmanager, ssh in, then start whatever window manager you want.

[02:12] Has anyone in here tried to run the game Spore in ubuntu? did it work?

[02:19] Hemebond: you don't need to do anything special [02:19] jrib: Well, Firefox is ignoring it. [02:19] cilkay, I already have flash [02:20] any x64 ubuntu users? [02:20] Oh, not with sound. Dunno. Mine always works, first time, every time. [02:20] Hemebond: pastebin the contents of your /etc/hosts [02:20] well, i'm one in the making... === ascott_ is now known as ascott [02:20] Hello all. When trying to unmount a NTFS volume I'm suddenly getting a message some application is preventing this action. How can I find which application? I've closed everything so far. [02:20] raht: lsof [02:20] Hemebond: make sure you clear firefox's cache as well [02:20] hi guys, I tried installing blender from the add/remove app, but I encountered an error saying that the media is read only , I had to restart and do a fsck then login back to my ubuntu, I went to my graphics applications folder and I didn't find blender there, so I used the add/remove to reinstall it and I've found out that its already there, I tried to remove it but this is the message that I'm getting "E: blender: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state [02:21] - you should" ... any help is really appreciated . [02:21] For some reason I can't find out where I can set a default terminal size. How can I do this? [02:21] abe3k: reinstall the package [02:21] raht: lsof|grep yourNFSfsYou'reTryingToUnmount [02:21] Hi, I'm trying to configure a program to start up everytime I log in. My windows environment (blackbox) said that to do this I need to edit my .Xsession or my .xinitrc . By the directions it says these should be in my user folder, but they're not. I did, however, find .Xsession in /etc/gdm . Should I edit the one in /etc/gdm or make a new one in my user folder? [02:21] jrib : this is the message I'm getting "he add/remove app, but I encountered an error saying that the media is read only , I had to restart and do a fsc" [02:21] jrib: Hosts file is fine. Command-line the URL/hosts ping fine. [02:21] cilkay, Thank you very much :) [02:21] how do i push something off the end of a vector ? pop_off? [02:22] Hemebond: clear your cache then [02:22] jrib : sorry , this is the message "E: blender: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should" [02:22] raht: You're welcome. That lists open files. Very handy thing to have. [02:22] takamarou, those ONLY get ran when you use the 'custome' session from the GDM login. gnome has its own 'session management' system you should be using. [02:22] abe3k: have you tried reinstalling the package? [02:22] hi guys - I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 on my newish rig (Asus p5 board, intel core 2 duo) and it's dropping to busybox/asp console from the LiveCD [02:22] dr_willis, I'm not using gnome, I'm using blackbox, so it's kinda like a custom session. [02:22] anyone got any tips? [02:22] jrib: Done. Didn't help. It's not cached because the URL/hostname doesn't actually exist yet which is why I'm using hosts file to provide an IP address; because DNS has no entry. [02:22] jrib : that message shows up when I want to reinstall it [02:23] takamarou, if you use the .Xsession you will have to start everyting you need. so thats doable then... [02:23] jrib: Pings fine from command-line, but Firefox goes straight to DNS. [02:23] anybody know how to set up nfs for file sharing? [02:23] takamarou, blackbox also has its own autostarting/config features I thought.. or was that fluxbox.. [02:23] willwh: Probably not detecting your video chipset. [02:23] Hemebond: what version of ubuntu? Are you using the firefox in the repositories? [02:23] jrib :this is what I'm getting from the terminal "dpkg: error processing blender (--remove): [02:23] Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should [02:23] reinstall it before attempting a removal.

After going through my install process and doing a reboot I get a "missing operating system" error. I have tried to do some diagnosing and have found that /dev/md1 has only 1 active drive. I am wondering if I can do a format on my 2 drives from busybox and just blow them away? [02:23] cilkay: it's a PCI-E 8800GT? [02:23] takamarou, so make a .Xsessions with the commands & on each line, then at the end run blackbox. [02:23] dr_willis, blackbox doesn't come with an auto-starting feature. So you are saying edit /etc/gdm/.Xsession? [02:24] jrib: Ubuntu 8.04 i386. Default Firefox package. [02:24] Found 3 lines with nautilus, although I have no instance of it opened. How should I end this process? [02:24] dr_willis, or make a new one in my user folder? [02:24] willwh: Shouldn't be a problem. Is this the live CD? [02:24] takamarou, you do NOT want to mess with gnomes .Xsession. (plus its Xsession i think) each user can have one int heir home dir. [02:24] cilkay: yes it is [02:24] Sata is set to run in IDE in my bios [02:24] What's the directory for the terminal? [02:24] jrib: Same problems as detailed in this thread http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=904062 [02:24] I tried changing that to RAID and no joy [02:24] dr_willis, ok, thanks very much. Do you know the difference between makin a .Xsession and a .xinitrc ? is there a diff? [02:25] anybody Chinese? [02:25] so I burned the 8.10 beta. When it runs as a live CD I get a blank screen after the bootup bar. But I get the logon sound. I'm thinking it's not identifying my graphics card correctly. [02:25] takamarou, the gdm custom session reads .Xsession i think . not .xinitrc the format of the 2 files are identical.. [02:25] is there an 8.10 beta forum? [02:25] Hemebond: did you check /etc/nsswitch.conf? [02:25] takamarou, you could make them both.. or link the 2.. or make one, and see what happens then make the other [02:25] cilkay: think it's worth trying 8.10? [02:25] Anyone running Ubuntu 8.04 on a Dell D630? [02:25] does anybody have any extensive software Raid Array knowledge ? [02:25] please help [02:25] smacfarl: #ubuntu+1 [02:25] dr_willis, alright. thats what I needed to know, thanks a bunch. [02:25] jrib: Yes. It's default. Just like the one in that thread.

I'm using an older Nvidia card with the proprietary driver and aside from one annoying problem, which isn't video card specific, I have no problems with KDE. [02:26] cilkay: I've tried an alt CD [02:26] jrib: Nope. Firefox set to use Gnome settings. Gnome Proxy says go straight to web. [02:26] it does the same thing [02:26] and I [02:26] join #arm [02:27] I've previously installed with this gfx card [02:27] it's a different mobo this time [02:27] which makes me think it's the mobo config causing the problems [02:27] Hi guys [02:27] jrib : here it is http://pastebin.com/m16491333 [02:27] can I download Ubuntu, but without gdm or kdm or kde or any DM or WMs? [02:27] yes [02:27] willwh: I don't know about Intrepid. When you install with the Alt CD, you can configure X if you select the maintenance option. [02:28] use the server version [02:28] greencookie: server edition [02:28] Does anyone know of a way to shut down a device connected to a remote computer when the device has its own power source? I can run root commands on the remote computer, and I can't just dissmount the device because that will not turn it off when it has its own power source.

[02:29] my apologies. I thought it was a file. it turned out to be a directory. [02:29] greencookie: no idea, I would imagine google'll tell you [02:30] Hemebond: close your firefox completely. Check for running instances of firefox with 'ps -ef | grep firefox'. Start firefox again. Clear all private data. Test again. Refresh the page. Still have the issue? [02:30] hi [02:30] thanks willwh [02:30] does anybody know why my volume for web videos is way low when videos on my pc sound just fine? [02:30] raht: You could kill that process. [02:30] how do I make my ubuntu box show up on my router? [02:31] abe3k: try to "reinstall" instead of "remove" [02:31] veedubya: No, I've run that exact same card on an IBM ThinPad A21p with 1600x1200 display.

[02:41] voglster, i rember it not working very well.. for your proboem.. what i do is use vncserver, with a minimal window manager. like jwm, then if i want to access the torrent app. I just run a vncclioent and connect to the 'torrent-vncdesktop' [02:41] 1286, why the hell are all thes idiots using ubuntu [02:41] hi, everyone... quick question. [02:41] voglster: thanks.. I have internal network .. say eth0 on ubuntu machine.. that machine connects to internet via dialup - ppp0 [02:41] MXIIA: careful [02:41] voglster, my way lets the thing run inthe background and can be accessed from any box's with very little work. [02:42] MXIIA: not here please [02:42] but eth0 connects to a router thats connected to a cable router .. [02:42] quick question - what command can I use to append a value to PATH ? [02:42] voglster, many torrent apps have web interfaces/plugins these days also. :) [02:42] I was trying to come into network via cable router and go out via ppp0 [02:42] are you guys seeding the next ubuntu release?, all the mirrors seem slow atm :/ [02:42] dr_willis, but i wanna play with my remote X stuff ;-) [02:42] nick_: export PATH="${PATH}":A_VALUE [02:42] #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, UnknownUser [02:43] thanks [02:43] voglster, xmove was very very very flakey and dident work very well when i tried it. i dont think its beenupdated in ages.. a [02:43] dr_willis, ok... vnc it is i guess... [02:43] voglster. there is squid sitting on the ubuntu.. Problem is tcpdump shows some traffic over ppp0 . but browser doesnt get anything..

I already deleted the data in the 10 GB partition I have set aside for PCLOS, including the swap and home, etc. What I need to know is what size I need to use to divide the / /home and swap drives out of the 10 GB [02:44] dr_willis, yea ive been looking too and saw that one [02:44] whats a good ubuntu video editor? [02:44] ok can someone tell me a program to transfer videos to a 5g ipod i have been reading forums for 3 days now and everyone says gtkpod but gtkpod only supports audio [02:44] voglster, lets just say that last i used xmove... it was barely useable. :) it may be better now. [02:44] srini, are you trying to access from that box or using at as router?" [02:44] What's the directory to put in Pidgin plugins? [02:45] Tanalark: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning [02:45] dr_willis, ah well i didnt want to mess too much with vnc... meybe ill just use a text based torrent system with screen ;-) [02:45] does anyone know of a good ubuntu video editor [02:45] Hi [02:45] voglster. I am using it as router.. router that routes traffic via one of the interfaces based on login info.. login info is controlled by squid .. and squid sets tos.. and I have ip-up.d script setup to create route table based on tos [02:45] HexFlash: kino, pitivi, avidemux [02:45] thanks [02:45] How can i set gdm once again as the display manager?

[02:46] yep [02:47] Didnt like the fake desktop idea as much either [02:47] Anyway, how can i reset gdm as the default? [02:47] Fake desktop being in that you didnt actually use the desktop but that the icons where just shortcuts to stuff put in that directory [02:47] voglster. So internet/sshin--->cable router--->eth0-ubuntu server (sshin)-->squid-->ppp0 or -->usbnet or --->ppp1 [02:47] Elda: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm should work.

[04:20] Specifically the touchscreen? [04:20] usser : here you go http://pastebin.com/m5933ea8e [04:20] hey folks.

It seems that nforce chipsets doesnt support alsa.. and pulse audio its an alsa kind. [04:21] usser : allright [04:21] kubuser: if "iwlist wlan0" lists wireless extensions, it's recognized properly [04:22] i have to use oss driver and it only plays one sound per time. [04:22] ok [04:22] usser : we can fix any mistake we make from the recovery mode right ? [04:22] usser : just copy the backup [04:22] abe3k, yea sure [04:22] usser : ok :) [04:22] How come some software isn't in the repos anymore like VMWare Server? I have all the universe and multiverse repos enabled and I refreshed the package list. Is it because I'm using an LTS release? [04:22] abe3k, thats what backups are for [04:22] tritium: iwlist wlan0 says iwlist: unknown command 'wlan0' (check iwlist --help) [04:23] usser : ok lets do it >:) [04:23] tritium: did you mean iwlist wlan0 scan? [04:23] kubuser: no, I did not [04:23] tritium: ok. iwlist wlan0 says unknown command. :) [04:23] kubuser: I meant "iwconfig wlan0" [04:24] abe3k, try this one [04:24] http://pastebin.com/m7b8bf50 [04:24] usser : heres my ls /ntfs http://pastebin.com/m5a38b6ae [04:24] tritium: :) iwconfig wlan0 shows some stats next to the wlan0 interface.

[04:25] abe3k, dont restart [04:25] abe3k, do sudo mount -a [04:25] usser : ok just save then ? [04:25] is there a way to make a ubuntu repair? I think I need to repair ... cuz It is crashing some times when starting up [04:26] abe3k, after u saved sudo mount -a this will aplly changes [04:26] !repair [04:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about repair [04:26] tritium: ok cool. :) thats good to know. however what to do next? iwlist wlan0 scan fails to find any wireless signals.... [04:26] please.. [04:26] i have no sound here... [04:26] usser : ok done [04:26] abe3k, any errors? [04:26] kubuser: are there any to be found? [04:26] abe3k, open /ntfs see if your stuff is there [04:26] that's pretty sad [04:26] usser : none [04:26] i was very excited with Ubuntu but seems unusable formee [04:26] anyone in here hear of that problem? i can get a terminal somewhere else but its not the same as that Gnome thing with all the xgraffix [04:26] tritium: yes, I have a wifi router. I was using the same card unger Gentoo successfully with the same router. I have moved to kubuntu.

[04:28] tritium: hmmm.... on kubuntu I can't find it. [04:28] bad_cables:your usb stick capacity? [04:28] kubuser: I'm not sure what kubuntu uses. [04:28] abe3k, just in case do sudo chown -R $USERNAME:$USERNAME /ntfs [04:28] gluonman, apt-get your kernel sources should fix that [04:28] amanulla: 8g [04:29] usser : oh w8 I did it in a sudo nautilus [04:29] tritium: ok. I think we're almost there. I'll ping someone in #kubuntu to determine what utility to use next. :) [04:29] usser : let me do it again w8 [04:29] abe3k, right try regular user [04:29] kubuser: good luck [04:29] Ward1983, what are the kernel sources?

O.O [04:30] i read that ndiswrapper is a better solution then fwcutter on broadcom due to a speed cap. Can anyone clarify this? [04:31] Need help. php5 package is not working.. It already said "Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3 with Suhosin-Patch Server at localhost Port 80" but when I point to a PHP file it gave me errors. [04:31] Ward1983, what is the syntax for that? I'm not sure. [04:31] abe3k, yea on the other hand it may take a while given size of your hdds [04:31] amanulla: i dont know what the problem is, i can get a root terminal, but i would like to use it with the defualt gnome interface [04:31] isn't diswrapped the same thing that fwcutter? [04:31] abe3k, if it works dont worry [04:31] usser : I guess so, its gonna take forever xD [04:32] abe3k, also your fat partitions are not gonna be mounted [04:32] abe3k, i only did ntfs [04:32] abe3k, you want fat too? [04:32] amanulla: i saw a thread but i cant find it now, i thought... "if i install this to this new disk here... i might get that error..." [04:32] usser : so now each time I restart my computer, I'll find the ntfs drives mounted in the computer window ? [04:32] !asla [04:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about asla [04:32] ~lasa [04:32] it just boots beige... after you log in [04:33] ~alsa [04:33] usser : ok we'll do the fats after the chown finishes :) [04:33] !alsa [04:33] 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 [04:33] bad_cables:its better to ask some one because im helpless in this case [04:33] i need tech support and bacon.... big smelly bacons [04:34] um.. looks like Xubuntu and Ubuntu don't have a "Kill" command for running application [04:34] there is a fix in the ubuntu forums, but i have rebooted this live CD and i dont have the same history :( [04:34] bad_cables:have you uses urs usb as hdd? [04:34] usser : will the chown affect accessing the files from windows ? [04:34] yeah i installed normal but to an 8 gig USB [04:34] abe3k, actually you have fat but it gets mounted into /media [04:35] it boots fast [04:35] vnc is teh awesomesauce [04:35] abe3k, no chown only has effect for linux ntfs-3g driver [04:35] a little slow though [04:35] usser : all ntfs are windows harddisks :) [04:35] Ward1983, you there? I got your little instruction, but my actual question was what the source is. Not the fact that I need to get the source. I already knew that. [04:36] please...I don't want to install windows once again... [04:36] davidryder, try freenx you'll be blown away [04:36] bad_cables:may i know the procedure to install [04:36] i may also try the same [04:36] and tell you weather i have gui or not] [04:36] usser : the reason why I'm doing this is sometimes applications say that the medium is not found when I start them, so I have to go and click on each harddrive for it to work , hopefully this'll solve it :) [04:37] gluonman, dunno the name for it out of my head but i remember needing to do it a couple of years ago, let me check [04:37] hey guys . how should i play .mp4 files . the coding is h.264 . [04:37] bad_cables:have you created swap in your usb? [04:37] usser: i installed freenx on on my linux box but don't know how to login through windows [04:37] Ward1983, thanks. [04:37] usser : I hope the chown finishes soon I have like a bazillion files over there xD [04:38] gluonman, sudo apt-get install kernel-source lol [04:38] usser: i also have openssh on my windows box [04:38] gluonman, wait [04:38] gluonman, sudo apt-get install kernel-source-2.6 i mean [04:38] gluonman, or trough symaptic [04:38] whoa [04:39] iwconfig show some REALLY crappy speed [04:39] Ward1983, thank you. [04:39] please [04:39] synaptic? [04:39] amanulla: yeah i made a swap [04:39] Stupid cache. Cleared the cache and it works now. [04:39] i have a problem with my sound driver here [04:39] davidryder, for windows it may be problematic i heard there was a client but never used it myself [04:39] abe3k, hopefully :) [04:39] Ward1983, no candidate version found for kernel-source-2.6 [04:39] where are sftp requests logged? [04:39] Ward1983, I checked my spelling. No typos. [04:40] bad_cables:but ihave a 2 gb stick cant i adjust with that [04:40] gluonman, weird since its in the list [04:40] to install ubuntu [04:40] usser : one more thing thats been bothering me, why is it everytime I open up the system monitor my processors goto 99% usage ? [04:40] Ward1983, I'll check the synaptec. [04:40] gluonman, then just try kernel-source === kitten is now known as Guest16961 [04:40] usser : this didn't happen with me before hardy 8.04 [04:40] Ward1983, still no, so I'm going to search synaptec. [04:41] abe3k, usually when a program like system monitor loads it takes all cpu [04:41] gluonman, sure, goodluck, let me know if you find it im getting curious myself lol [04:41] What controls the startup programs in KDE? [04:41] abe3k, for a second or so while its loading [04:41] usser : nah its always making my computer laggy when its running >< [04:41] can I do an manual build ltsp chroot? [04:42] Ward1983, nothing in synaptec. But I just came across a forum that states linux-headers-generic as the package that will suffice to fix this problem. I'm going to give it a try and let you know if it works. [04:42] usser : ok the chown finished :D [04:42] abe3k, cool [04:42] usser : ok then I restart now ? [04:42] abe3k, i guess now is the time to reboot [04:42] abe3k, tell me how it goes [04:42] Ward1983, nope. I apparently already have that. [04:42] sudo reboot [04:42] T.T pleaseee... i have no sound here. [04:42] gluonman, lol [04:42] can I build LTSP chroot manually in 8.10? cause it failed during the installation i got this error "!! Build LTSP chroot Installation step failed An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Build LTSP chroot" [04:42] usser : ok I'll be back [04:42] anyone know why im getting "ERROR opening V4L interface : No space left on device" errors when trying to use my webcam?

[04:44] nuthing :( [04:44] i checked everything 100 times [04:44] Ward1983, I'm still doing it, so I haven't tested to confirm this actually works, but it's what I found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=919364http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=919364 [04:44] SteckelBud: df -h of /dev/video0?

[04:45] i onli reboot windows client [04:45] ok, trying again...could someone help me get wireless working again? [04:45] I'm trying to install ubuntu. It was installed fine before, but I randomly started getting all kinds of errors about the hdd and it would freeze up. I ran badblocks and sent the drive back to WD because it said I had millions of bad blocks. New drive came in and I got it to install once. Booted up and everything started freezing. Trying to reinstall again and the install CD hangs giving be errors such as ata4.00: exception emask 0x SAct [04:45] default [04:46] phpstar, huh? [04:46] sudo apt-get install openssh-server [04:46] Ward1983, apparently it also helps to make sure you have linux-image-generic and linux-headers-generic to make sure the latest stable kernel is always being pointed to. [04:46] and client as well [04:46] Oh wow, I got the right channel on a random guess. [04:46] and then forwarded port 8080 [04:46] SteckelBud: vox@Hagalaz:~$ df -h /dev/video0 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 1013M 72K 1013M 1% /dev [04:46] !Makefile [04:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about makefile [04:46] phpstar, port 8080 is not used for SSH standard [04:46] doofy: have you checked your mother board for swollen capacitors? [04:46] gluonman: you don't need the -headers unless you actually need the headers. but yes, a top-level metapackage ensures you have up to date kernels. [04:46] i even tried 7070 [04:46] whats the makefile install command again [04:46] and many more [04:46] usser : bad news :( [04:46] Which package gives me the mail command??

[04:47] usser : thats in the computer window [04:47] phpstar, the ssh server runs on port 22 by default, installing it takes care of opening the port [04:47] Flannel, I'm just reporting what I'm reading as I'm trying things out. I'm trying to get virtualbox working with the kernel. [04:47] SteckelBud: nope [04:47] phpstar, just connect your client to port 22 [04:47] abe3k, right go to /ntfs see if they are there?

D: [04:48] usser : I can see my files in the ntfs folder [04:49] abe3k, so its fine [04:49] usser : yup :) [04:49] phpstar, you should disable port forwarding if you dont use it, its not very safe [04:49] abe3k, its probably because we didnt mount it to /media [04:49] i didnt not forward any port [04:49] vox: sorry V- wish I could help, just haven't web cammed in ubuntu, only thinking of similar events that have hit me.

(move to) [05:22] the_dude: ok what i am getting at, its that if its a problem with flash then there is nothing any of us can do about it. Its not opensource and we can't fix it.

[05:26] Flannel... this is my pastebin [05:26] http://pastebin.com/m6f41537 [05:27] shishio : Its very strange that the sound would go out because of a video driver. At least to my experiance. Might be something is claiming your sound, IE an app. [05:27] the_dude: yes [05:27] usser : here http://pastebin.com/m7aaeb3f0 [05:27] abe3k_, anyway the next step is to modify fstab to use uuid but i gotta go to sleep [05:27] amason_, yes im there right now [05:27] the_dude : search for flash in there [05:27] the_dude, I have best success with adobe site, not repos [05:27] usser : ok so I put those uuids infront of each drive right ? [05:27] abe3k_, right so replace the /dev/sd* entries with uuid's [05:27] Is there a way to downgrade my last upgraded packages? I accepted upgrades to my sound and it messed up something. [05:27] iamelite :i only installed my new graphic card, i dun think ive done something that would make my sound disapear :S [05:27] usser : ok 1 sec and thanks for helping me [05:28] the_dude : RHorse is right. from the adobe site is better [05:28] I installed nvidia drivers from the nvidia website on 8.04. Everything seemed to work. I shut down for the night and came back and upon booting was presented with a dialog box telling me I was in low graphics mode and it seems my drivers are not being used at all. I looked at xorg.conf and it's basically empty under the display and device entries. What happened when I rebooted? [05:28] abe3k_, sure np [05:28] the_dude: ok. fyi its not recommended to install applications via other means than synaptic/ add remove .

[05:28] shishio: nvidia card? [05:29] anyone know the code to list alsa devices for that guy? [05:29] the_dude: you may need to restart firefox [05:29] i kinda forgot [05:29] iOpera: yes nVidia [05:29] bustaplz : there was no need to install those drivers. you just had to activate them and they will be downloaded from synaptic automatically [05:29] bustaplz, you didn't install correctly.. you can't have the gui loaded when you do it.. from what I understand.. I use the restricted drivers available from ubuntu [05:29] Is there at least a way to have ubuntu reconfigure all hardware after installation? [05:29] amason_, it was closed man.. [05:29] k [05:29] shishio: what's your kernel version? [05:29] I've heard about these restricted drivers, where can I install them from? [05:29] Are they from a different repo?

[05:30] amason_, how do i uninstall it? [05:31] shishio: 810...so can not help. i still at 804, but maybe you can check if some package installed. [05:31] wait [05:31] the disk problems are system-wide, not only the vm [05:31] bustaplz : did you activated them ? [05:31] the_dude: which plugin ?

So, how do I get the system to run commands after it finished starting up and before I log on? [05:34] bernroth, just out of curiosity ... are you using vmware server vs 1.x.x? or beta 2.x? [05:34] is there a way to use chmod to give a user read and write permissions to a file, but not delete? [05:34] amason_, i installed flash, then it was with no sound, so i had libflashsupport and then i had sound but sometimes, fire fox ran out... ive reinstalled flash 9 and keeps the problem... [05:34] fvwmnet: . [05:34] abe3k_, hm whats the error message you get? [05:35] Is there a server kernel optimized for running under vmware esx other then linux-headers-2.6.24-19-server [05:35] ajhtiredwolf, write implies delete [05:35] Chris_Foster : i am not sure but maybe you just have to add them to /etc/init.d [05:35] usser : [mntent]: line 7 in /etc/fstab is bad [05:35] usser : and so on [05:35] albuntu, hard to describe...the video looks washed out...overly bright....

[05:35] albuntu: thanks ill look into that [05:35] usser : then rest of file is ignored [05:35] hello everybody [05:35] hey there. does anyone have a link for info on nvidia support in the ibex beta? [05:35] when will gimp 2.6 be sent into the hardy repos? i wanna upgrade to it! [05:36] Geoffrey2 : i am not sure but i think its a codecs problem [05:36] ajhtiredwolf: being able to delete is actually writing to disk so write permissions include deleting [05:36] what would be an easy way to find out which ports are open on my college network? [05:36] usser : I think I should remove the dev/sd* part [05:36] IdleOne, i know, but i know its possible, you can do it using the nautalus gui, but i dont have a gui on the server im trying to do this [05:36] abe3k_, oh man, no of course. if u use uuid remove /dev/sd* part [05:36] abe3k_, yes === nicholas__ is now known as Tetracomm [05:36] lliw00: nmap [05:37] usser : ok done [05:37] Geoffrey2, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:37] nmap is good one [05:37] usser : but still nothing in the computer window >< [05:37] is it possible to setup a password on a folder or how can you make the folder encrypted ? [05:37] ajhtiredwolf: well if it is possible with GUI then it is possible without. question now is what the correct permissions would be. I don't know [05:37] usser : I'll restart then [05:37] abe3k_, removed /dev/sd* for all records? [05:37] IdleOne, exactly :P me neither [05:37] Geoffrey2 : try sudo apt-get install w32codecs [05:37] ajhtiredwolf: some googling might help [05:37] usser : yes all of the ones with the uid [05:37] tifine, man gpg [05:38] IdleOne, i google first /join #mythbuntu second [05:38] RHorse: gpg [05:38] the_dude: ok. so you have a few options. have a look in the .mozilla/plugins directory and remove libflashplayer.so. See if the crashing problem occurs . If it doesn't then flash is the problem. You might be able to try the adobe forums or look around the internet to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problems. If you still have the problem, you can try removing / reinstalling firefox or you can hang around here and see if other [05:38] poeople know how to fix it. Or you can submit a bug report on launch pade or visit the forums or if you have support from cannonical you can call them. === Patrick_ is now known as Lul2x [05:38] abe3k_, try to restart i gues [05:38] IdleOne, *ubuntu i mean [05:38] tifine: or truecrypt [05:38] usser : ok will do :) [05:38] ajhtiredwolf: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=832178 try this thread might point to right direction [05:38] usser : brb [05:38] amason_, that plugin i had, it was for firefox right fbflash right? [05:39] the_dude: but basically if its a flash problem, its not something that the ubuntu community can fix [05:39] amason_, may i try gnash? [05:39] the_dude: sure. [05:39] amason_, yah ok [05:39] amason_, ill try wait a sec... [05:39] the_dude: i believe adobe also has a flash 10 beta for linux [05:39] which apparently works quite well [05:39] IdleOne, samba specific :( [05:39] Hey, I'm setting up a server and am looking for backup suggestions. Originally, I was thinking of just setting up a software RAID 1 so that if a drive crashed I would have a backup. However, I've been reading more and more that RAID is not a backup solution. What are your views on this? [05:40] amason_, ok... [05:40] but if its a flash issue, you will probably need to get support from adobe or the flash forums [05:40] the_dude : download flash from the adobe site and you will be ok [05:40] the_dude: because like i said, its not free software so there isn't a whole heap we can do [05:40] do you guys backup your server? If so, how? [05:40] I'm back [05:41] Didn't seem to work. [05:41] How can I tell what driver my system is using? [05:41] lul : tape backup? [05:41] would wine allow me to execute the installer of the windows driver [05:42] Would it help my system performance any, if i were to set my swap off of my main drive? [05:42] Azhi_Dahaka, execute the install or actually use the driver? [05:42] Lul2x: maybe you can use dump/restore command [05:42] usser : Finally ! , everything is there and mounted :D [05:42] because if i have to install windows to get the driver for MAYBE be able to use the wireless from more than 1 meter apart from the router... well [05:42] usser : thanks man for the help and sweet dreams :D [05:42] i need to extract the proper inf [05:43] iamelite, you'll find swap isn't used very much if at all unless you have lots of programs open or are doing heavy graphics/video stuff [05:43] maybe anybody else has i/o performance issues with ubuntu 8.04 x64 ? when a process is accessing the disk, e.g. writing a big file, the other applications are haging/waiting for i/o [05:43] does anybody knows the command to encrypt the file, i am trying with using gpg -e filename, but everytime ask me to enter the user id and keep returing the same message !! [05:43] abe3k_, no problem good luck [05:43] do u want to back up the entire system or data drive [05:43] iOpera, would you use this to backup to another drive in the server or to another computer on the network? [05:43] usser : thanks :) [05:43] Azhi_Dahaka, sometimes you can right mouse click a .exe and extract the files.. then you'll have access to the .inf [05:43] Azhi_Dahaka, i think what u looking for is cabextract utility on linux, most wifi drivers are packed in .cab archive [05:43] Lul2x: i just test this 2 command before. use "nc" as pipe, do a network backup. [05:43] I'm basically looking for a good backup method and I thought RAID was the answer... now I'm having my doubts. [05:43] Azhi_Dahaka, and yea wine would extract a windows archive no problem [05:44] izinucs, I do a great deal of encoding and re-encoding. [05:44] amason_, gnash didnt worked, ive already had this problem, so i have to remove, whats the command line plz... [05:44] Lul2x, for just data / files scp works well and pretty secure [05:44] iamelite, next time you do look at the system monitor and see if swap is being used and how much [05:44] Lul2x: I have heard rumor that RAID should not be used as backup [05:44] Lul2x: RAID is an insurance policy, not a backup solution [05:44] Lul2x, raid is not a backup solution, backups are usually done incrementally to removable media, such as tape, etc, do you have any such things in place? [05:45] Ward1983: scp is also good way. [05:45] danbh_intrepid, offcourse it sohuldnt, if your offcie burns down you wont have a backup [05:45] I've heard it shouldn't be used for backup either. With these other suggestions, is there a way to do incremental backups so I don't need to do a full backup every time? [05:45] iOpera, i know since i suggested it :p [05:45] hehe [05:45] Ward1983 : lol [05:45] !backup [05:45] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [05:45] i just agree you [05:45] whats the comand line to remove programs??? [05:45] lul2x; tape back system [05:45] Ward1983: good point : ) [05:45] the_dude: apt-get [05:45] bofh80, currently I don't have a backup strategy in place. Actually, I'm just starting to setup my server and am looking to make a plan now [05:45] the_dude : sudo apt-get remove [05:46] the_dude: sudo apt-get remove packagename [05:46] RAID is for redundancy, not backup [05:46] the_dude: sudo apt-get remove [05:46] One more stupid question. On Gparted, wich side, left or right, is the outside edge of my disk? [05:46] i have install vmware workstation, now when i try to install vmware server, i get: http://pastebin.com/m6908f075, how do i get rid of it? [05:46] tritium, it does not, or at least I have not go it to [05:47] iamelite, right I think.. left is at the beginning (in or out not sure) [05:47] thx [05:47] Lul2x, well your first step is deciding where you want to backup your data too ? [05:47] tifine, have you solved your issue with gpg? [05:47] ok, I appreciate the help. I will look into the many options that you guys have listed above. One last thing: I would likely be backing up to another drive on my server... is this a good idea? I don't have another computer with the capacity to hold such a backup [05:47] ok, note to self. Don't use screensavers in hardy. [05:47] iamelite, if i installed xp and then ubuntu xp was on the left so i would say the right side is the outside of your disk [05:47] RHorse: oh well its asking me for the userid and dont have one :P [05:47] bofh80, yeah, I'll have to decide that too [05:47] ok, i ask again: How do i uninstall the driver that 8/04 autoinstalled via fwcutter? [05:47] Lul2x, how much data you got ? :) [05:48] amason_, man i think ill just leave it like this, with this fire fox problem, what do you think should i do? [05:48] clayg: ? [05:48] you need to make a keyring, tifine. Read the man pages. Goodbye, ya'll... [05:48] tritium, sorry i meant: [05:49] night RHorse === rocknlnx is now known as rocknlnx_ [05:49] Lul2x, well if your power supply decides to go insane and breaks your drives you would have a problem (it doesnt happen much but you never know) [05:49] is there an app in ubuntu to print to pdf , where it asks you what you would like to name the file? I tried cupspdf but it wont let me do what i want [05:49] Azhi_Dahaka, just found this on the forums.. there's probably more.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=783521 === rocknlnx_ is now known as rocknlnx [05:49] bofh80, If I were to include the non-crucial items like movies and music, it could be up to 700GB in the future [05:49] ok ok [05:49] umm how do i change the VGA to DFP [05:49] Ward1983, that's a good point... [05:49] clayg, cups-pdf or pdf-cups.. it's a printer install thing.. start installing a new printer and choose PDF [05:49] Does anyone know how to change the default program associated with different filetypes? Totem keeps opening my audio files(mp3 and others) and I am trying to get them associated with listen === root is now known as Guest48617 [05:49] Lul2x, you could take the drive out and only put it in to backup stuff [05:50] Lul2x, but i wouldnt recommend that either to be honest [05:50] clayg, it will create a pdf directory in home and that's where the printed pdf's land. [05:50] usser : you're htere ? [05:50] Ward1983, so MFTs and partitions are first written center then out like a CD. But... ok, so its the right side. I was asking because i wanted to make sure i put linux on the faster side of the disk [05:50] Ward1983, I know that is probably a better idea but I know I will get lazy and want a "set it and forget it" option, lol [05:50] izinucs, i don't believe they allow me to name the file beforehand but isntall copy a file with whatever is in the browser title to my home/pdf dir [05:50] [Mass Message] -------------> http://myspace.com/j0shieboo [05:51] [Mass Message] apologies, wrong alias. [05:51] izinucs, yeah im looking for the ability to name the file beforehand [05:51] its telling me to go to a text editor but i dont know what to do there to chnge the VGA to a DFP [05:51] !ops [05:51] Help!

[05:51] abe3k, yea [05:51] installing opera... [05:52] ok [05:52] Lul2x, to be honest, there aren't any comparable backup solutions that i've found that even come close to the freebie version included with XP, let alone full on suites like backupexec,(unless anyone cares to mention any? ) so it's a good idea to decide how your goig to backup first, ie to waht media, as there are various command line solutions like rsync you should defenitily look into, rsync has some nift gui's now i think [05:52] rsync [05:52] dd [05:52] bacula [05:52] usser : oh good :), I have one question , if I want to change the names from sdc3 to Vista 1, how do I implement that in the fstab ? [05:52] partimage [05:52] usser : the space I mean === Indoctrine is now known as Doc|NotCare [05:52] hi [05:52] Lul2x, or get a good case which allows you to slide the drives out :p [05:52] how do i change a VGA to a DVI i keep getting black screen i have a GO driver [05:53] anyone? [05:53] abe3k, you're really need that space?? use something like vista_1 [05:53] Ward1983, hotplug is still expensive i believe :P [05:53] bofh80, lol its not hot pluggable offcourse :p [05:53] hotswap rather [05:53] abe3k, but u may try to put /media/vista 1 in parenthesis [05:53] happy navaratri to everybody [05:53] bofh80, well actually you can hot plug it but it can go wrong if your unlucky [05:53] I just tried the deadline scheduler and it's still the same... large i/o operations (create vmware snapshot) causes the system to block all other applications [05:53] abe3k, in fstab that is [05:53] usser : the problem is that I have to change all the shortcuts I've made before and application settings ..etc [05:53] !ot > Guest33409 [05:53] Guest33409, please see my private message [05:53] I accidently got rid of the toolbars for programs [05:53] bofh80, I think I would prefer to use hdds for storage rather than discs. [05:53] !ot > Guest48617 [05:53] Guest48617, please see my private message [05:53] bofh80, i actually did it a few times, just connect a SATA drive to the mainboard while my machine was running lol [05:54] abe3k, oh i see try putting /media/Vista 1 in parenthesis in fstab [05:54] which startup proccess is responsible for showing/hiding those toolbars? [05:54] how do i change a VGA to a DVI i keep getting black screen i have a GO driver [05:54] usser : I tried "/media/Vista 1" and it doesn't work [05:54] if you have AHCI enabled in your bios, I don't see why you can't hotswap SATA drives [05:54] Okay I uninstalled the nvidia driver package and enabled the restricted ones. Restarted, same issue system locks up after asking my to configure the safe graphics thing. The only way I can boot is to go into recovery mode and run XFIX. [05:54] Ward1983, heheheh . sure as long as you don't get a spike, power supplies don't like that much p [05:54] abe3k, try to escape the space ie /media/Vista\ 1 [05:54] how do i change a VGA to a DVI i keep getting black screen i have a GO driver [05:54] bofh80, check the connectors, the outer pins are longer, thats so you have less chance to short circuit your drive :p [05:54] usser : didn't work either [05:54] !patience > cherico [05:54] cherico, please see my private message [05:54] abe3k, make sure your folder exists in media linux is case sensitive [05:55] bofh80, yes but i am lucky enough to have a really nice power supply :) [05:55] bofh80, Ward1983 , the main issue I guess is that I mainly work from my laptop, which has a 120GB drive. I take a lot of photos, which eat up space very quickly. My idea of a solution was to start storing all my photos on my server and access them there. [05:55] usser : yeah it exists with the case sensitivity [05:55] is opera better than firefox? [05:55] bofh80, I would then need a backup of those [05:55] bofh80, i did a great great deal some time ago buying a second hand machine [05:55] cmon guys! I can't figure out what I should re-enable!! [05:55] usser : keeps telling me the line is wrong [05:55] the_dude: right [05:55] :D [05:55] Lul2x, turn the server into a NAS or ftp server [05:55] iOpera, hahah [05:55] bofh80, I could be doing this very inefficiently though... I'm not sure if using the server as a default save location is the best idea [05:55] abe3k, hm ok try this /media/Vista\0401 [05:56] iOpera, from you... huu... i expected... [05:56] AHCI enables you to hot-swap SATA drives [05:56] izinucs, well, I was thinking of making the server readable from Windows as a network drive via Samba... is this along the same lines? [05:56] usser : ok no errors :D [05:56] usser : let me see if my files are there :) [05:56] Lul2x, the server is ok, but you sohuld have a backup aswell imo [05:56] Lul2x, it depends if the load times on the files are going to bother you over the network as such [05:56] I cant migrate the swap to the other drive says its busy and locked, but i dont need to do it? Or can i replicate the partition. Im not entirely sure how important it is. [05:56] usser : successful mount ! :D [05:57] Lul2x, preferably a different machine or even different location [05:57] abe3k, cool :) [05:57] usser : 1 problem :P [05:57] abe3k, shoot [05:57] usser : the sdc3 is still full of folders and files [05:57] usser : unmount it maybe ? [05:57] iamelite: swap isn't important. The data in it at any given time is temporary. You'll likely want to create a new swap partition on your new drive, but the contents of the old one don't matter/exist/have any substance/etc [05:57] Lul2x, yes samba is probably what you want to use. unfortunatley, the better alternatives are a bit well, less used i spose. like NFS which again i don't know how to setup, cos samba is more popular with gui's etc :P [05:57] how do i get my side scroller??? [05:58] Flannel, just what i needed to know. thx muxh [05:58] usser : the folder in the media that we just made [05:58] abe3k, yes sudo umount /media/sdc3 [05:58] usser : ok 1 sec [05:58] samba? :o [05:58] i really really really hate samba lol [05:59] you would need to setup samba on ur unix system [05:59] usser : Cool stuffs ! :D [05:59] Ward1983: like sshfs? [05:59] bofh80, load times may become an issue. I wonder how well my photo cataloguing program (Lightroom) would read files over my network [05:59] usser : thanks again man :D [05:59] please i really need my touchpad scroller [05:59] then access NT network group and file server with samba [05:59] Lul2x, you'd be supprised. [05:59] iOpera, much better :) [05:59] abe3k, no problem [05:59] :D [05:59] Lul2x, gigabit networkin could fix that tho :) [05:59] Ward1983, I agree. I just don't have another machine that is always going, which is part of my problem [05:59] samba is being used on xerox work horses [06:00] usser : now go sleep before I come up with something else xD [06:00] izinucs, even over wireless? Do you have any experience you could share :) [06:00] u would do the scanning work on xerox machines and then use samba to save on nt boxes [06:00] Maybe 'toolbar' isnt the right word... [06:00] I'm talking about the bar at the very top of all windows [06:00] Hello everyone! [06:00] would anyone be willing to walk me through how to setup a static ip in ubuntu? [06:00] subdolus: panel? [06:00] where you can click minimize, maximise, restore, exit etc [06:00] Kindly help me about that; http://pastebin.com/m5d5d1ab6 [06:01] bofh80, gigabit is limited by wireless though, right? [06:01] Lul2x, wireless is another issue.. it might be manageable.. Lightroom isn't a speed demon anyway.. [06:01] (in the top right) [06:01] light zone or light room [06:01] Lul2x, again, for this rsync would probably be the best bet for keeping a backup on another drive . . . so just focus on samba and rsync and you have a solution [06:01] hey guys!!! [06:01] is that called a title bar maybe? instead of toolbar? [06:01] izinucs, lol, this is true [06:01] or panel? [06:01] how is everyone tonight? [06:01] Lul2x, depends what speed your wireless connection has [06:01] subdolus: decor [06:01] when i connect an external hard disk enclosure to a usb, can i copy files in to it rigth away, or i have to format it first? [06:01] Lul2x, would be idea to get it up , and test it, rather than speculate [06:01] Lul2x, lol gigabit is WAY faster then any wireless [06:01] decor? so I accidently remoed all decors from the startup list in sessions [06:01] how do i change a VGA to a DVI i keep getting black screen i have a GO driver [06:02] abe3k, already almost there :) [06:02] Im running ubuntu server, and when I hook up my external harddrive and boot up, then access it with ssh from a remote computer. Its not there, any idea whats going on? [06:02] btw i am looking to install a 5 1/4 floppy on my ubuntu box [06:02] now there are no top bars [06:02] bofh80, ok, I will look into setting that up. It probably isn't the perfect solution but you're right--testing is better than speculating [06:02] for any app [06:02] anyone free to help me out for a minute with gnome? [06:02] usser : ok xD [06:02] iOpera: any idea what its called in startup, so i can re-enable them? [06:02] qbmaniac: ask your question, dont ask to ask a question :) [06:02] Lul2x, if you dont use raw pictures or any craszy large resolutions it should work fine [06:02] Im running ubuntu server, and when I hook up my external harddrive and boot up, then access it with ssh from a remote computer. Its not there, any idea whats going on? [06:02] sorry Chris_Foster its just that everyone seems quite busy [06:02] I have read the topic indeed =) [06:03] subdolus: you lost your decor when start? [06:03] iOpera, pdftk worked wonders! Thanks [06:03] daaaman64: :D [06:03] qbmaniac: its alright, i did it the first time I came here and got the same response I gave you :) [06:03] Chris_Foster, do you know the mount point of the external driver? [06:03] If it came down to it, I could always a)connect via a wired connection and upgrade to gigabit or b) buy an external drive specifically for my pictures and attach it to my laptop and store all my other files on the server (movies, music, docs, etc) [06:03] when i connect an external hard disk enclosure to a usb, can i copy files in to it rigth away, or i have to format it first? [06:03] powerful little command line tool [06:03] if that's what its' called - decor, then yes iOpera [06:03] izinucs: no, shouldn't it be in media, though? [06:03] Ward1983, I work a lot with RAW so the file sizes to get big >_< [06:03] I was trying to disable Maximus etc. from ubuntu-eee [06:03] how do i reinstall fire fox? [06:03] so it would just have a normal background, not the notebook remix [06:03] hi all [06:03] subdolus: if you use compiz? [06:03] Lul2x, then wireless is probably a bit slow :p [06:04] subdolus: no.. no compiz [06:04] i prefer wired connection over wireless it is lot more safer [06:04] Question: I installed ubuntu server, I want a GUI... I tried apt-get install gnome with no success... I installed KDE because it resolved all dependencies automatically... but I don't like KDE at all... how can I install Gnome and remove KDE? [06:04] mayube I'm not making myself clear enough heh [06:04] Lul2x, you should mention that next time, people tend to think jpeg if they read pictures [06:04] what the fuck is going on with ubuntu developers? look at this: NetworkManager: [1223355607.055369] nm_hal_device_added(): New device added (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_lirc_serial_0'). are you stupid or what? what the fuck has to do network manager with the remote control? thanks for ban. fuck you to. [06:04] !puregnome [06:04] If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [06:04] Chris_Foster, you'd think but a usb device is hotplugged.. you might only find it in /mnt.. you could sudo fdisk -l to locate it. [06:04] Ward1983, yeah, sorry about that! [06:04] how do i get my side scroller on my touchpad on 8.04 (ubuntu) working..... [06:04] Lul2x, no problem at all just a tip [06:04] you know, in windows or any WM in linux, how at the verrryyyy top of a window there's a 'bar' that has the name of the window (firefox etc.), then on the far right has your 3 icons from minimise, restore and exit? [06:05] izinucs: okay, ill do that now thanks, ill tell you if I cant find it [06:05] I have a question, programs I run in Wine can't find my Firefox, is there a fix for this? [06:05] !puregnome > qbmaniac [06:05] I appreciate all the help guys, hopefully I'll see ya around and let you know how it goes :) [06:05] qbmaniac, please see my private message [06:05] in most ubuntu installs it seems to be orange'ish [06:05] thanks [06:05] I'll check it out [06:05] does that work well on ubuntu server? [06:05] subdolus: if you enabled 3D wm? [06:05] well I somehow removed a process from startup that is responsible for those top bars [06:05] iOpera: no...

Solution Super Grub at http://www.supergrubdisk.org I booted from the Super Grub CD and fixed my original Dual boot system. [09:58] Does this sound legit?

Do you know? [10:25] Miesco: then you'll need to add some routes so your pc knows to use the vpn [10:25] Miesco: you'll never know [10:26] ActionParsnip: routes? [10:26] Miesco: also make sure your pc does not use the same subnet as the network you connect to or your connection will get very confused [10:26] Okay [10:27] Miesco: so if the thing connected to uses 192.168.0.x and so does your home LAN, change your DHCP pool to something like 10.0.0.x so it is a different network [10:28] ##c++ [10:28] Does anyone know how to install the Ricoh webcam driver on 64 bit machines?

[10:33] I finally realized: the absolute worst thing about microsoft is that they don't even give you a windows install disc when you buy a windows computer.

[10:40] blak: as long as the byte counts are concurrent [10:41] ActionParsnip: I think though, that the winxp ntfs has to be first though [10:41] blak: anything like that as risks, ive never done it as i plan my partitions but ive seen folks do it ok. if your data is important, back it up [10:41] frybye: the thing is that the windows CD has handy things like recovery tools that you can't get otherwise. [10:41] ActionParsnip: Then after that I make a /boot for grub to dual boot and then i can have my ubuntu ext3 [10:41] Also,is there a way i can update My Intel Video Drivers [10:41] ActionParsnip: OK, thanks, i will back up what is important definitely, good advice! [10:42] blak: no, the active partition you want to boot must be marked as active [10:42] how do I get ls to output the full file name? I need to know which directory the file is in. [10:42] blak: you should have a regular backup anyroad, what if your har drive fails? [10:42] ActionParsnip: So would i have to put /boot partition first to dual boot or can the ntfs be first? [10:42] I'm trying to do this command: ls -RUld|grep xml [10:42] * blak nods at ActionParsnip [10:42] but it doesn't show me which directory has the files that respond.

[12:28] linny, why did you purge your folder? [12:28] !paste icnpunk [12:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about paste icnpunk [12:28] I haven't met those [12:28] !paste | icnpunk [12:28] icnpunk: 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) [12:28] BlackDesign because the plugin in it wasnt working [12:28] linny, no backup? [12:29] so i figured i would delete it and start again [12:29] hi, i have a set of *.jpg wanted to make a movie out of them...which package?? [12:29] ActionParsnip, Yeah i am, this is the postim getting in the terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/54965/ [12:29] ActionParsnip: when i first was setting my ubuntu up i chose ALSA .. also now when i right clicked the sound icon in the tray on the top right hand side and clicked volume control preferences it shows "HDA inetel (ALSA mixer)" [12:29] arvind_khadri: you can make an animated gif with gimp [12:30] Omeil: then its installed to ~/.wine/c_drive/......stuff [12:30] BlackDesign: well there was only 1 file in there libflashplayer.so [12:30] ActionParsnip, I didn't install it via wine tho, i dragged it over from windows partition, should i reinstall WoW? [12:31] Omeil: yes as it needs a shedload of otherstuff, not just that folder. if that was the case itd be pirated like crazy [12:31] linny, you could open synaptic and download libflashplayer.so again [12:31] ActionParsnip: when i hold my mouse over a mp3 it starts to play but no sound from videos online [12:31] ActionParsnip, thanks... but wanted to make .avi [12:31] Omeil, you could copy it to .wine/c_drive/program files, then try running it from there. [12:31] Omeil: install then you could try overwriting some files with those ones but afaik you need to install properl [12:31] shall i remove the one i have in there now first ? [12:32] I will reinstall it properly atleast maybe it will run better than it is. [12:32] i did it with the adobe installer [12:32] Not necessary I think... Just say reinstall that files === pronoy is now known as pronoy_ [12:32] ok ill gibe ot a go thx [12:32] give [12:32] Thanks for the help guys [12:33] amanulla: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=499174 [12:33] hello can anybody help me, i am trying to set up a server link between my laptop and pc, both ubuntu 8.04. But I do not have System >> Administration >> Shared Folders so I cannot proceed? [12:33] ok [12:33] i will check it [12:33] now [12:34] amanulla: mencoder mf://*.png -mf type=png:w=800:h=600:fps=1 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -oac copy -o foo.avi [12:34] can anyone help me with virtual box for linux ???? [12:34] !virtualbox | pronoy_ [12:34] pronoy_: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [12:35] BB88, you could use ssh/scp/sshfs to copy some files back and forth btweeen 2 linux machines.. the shared folder thing sets up samba shares.. what is best - depends on what all you are wanting to do, and how many files you want to move around [12:35] ActionParsnip: I have installed it but now when iam making a virtual machine...upon starting : virtualbox kernel not installed [12:35] dr_willis, I ideally want to move my music files to and fro, around 4000 mp3's at the moment [12:36] lol do i feel dumb it works i didnt think of looking in the repos as i knew it was propiatary [12:36] BB88, copy all of them from one place to another? or just access them remotely? [12:36] ActionParsnip: how do i get vboxdrv kernel // [12:36] ????????/ [12:36] dr_willis, copy them from one place to another [12:36] pronoy_: you need the vbox kernel matching your kernel name [12:36] hi there... where can i find the animated desktop cat widget? [12:36] ActionParsnip: I need to install windows.... [12:37] i already searched at google but no results :-( [12:37] pronoy_: no [12:37] ActionParsnip: sorry ??? [12:37] pronoy_: uname -a; sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules- [12:38] ActionParsnip:what is this mencoder mf://*.png -mf type=png:w=800:h=600:fps=1 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -oac copy -o foo.avi [12:38] pronoy_: e.g. ive got virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic [12:38] BB88, sshfs can do that rather easially.. actually the gnome file manager would let you do it over ssh also. (you would need to install ssh on the linux boxs) thers the 'places --> connect to server' thing you may want to check out. [12:38] does anyone use .. pigdin for irc? [12:38] cheek1 yes [12:38] Cheek1:i use pidginn [12:39] amanulla: that will take all the png images in the current folder and make a video called foo.avi from them using mencoder [12:39] Cheek1:but i dont know irc [12:39] what is it [12:39] cheek1: me too [12:39] ActionParsnip: how do identify which kernel have i got ?? [12:39] amanulla: you are on a irc server rofl [12:39] dr_willis, I am following this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=469067, but am stuck on the sharing part, heh. [12:39] pronoy_: uname -a [12:39] WasserDragoon: did you register your nick on irc? [12:39] ActionParsnip:oohh i havnt asked that one [12:39] hi [12:39] cheek1: yes, why? [12:39] some other asked that [12:39] hi abhi [12:39] anyone that had a wubi problem 4 hours earlier? [12:40] BB88, could be an older guide with out of date info.. or you are not using the same ubuntu release as their guide [12:40] WasserDragoon: i cant seem to register my namei dont know where to type inthe commands [12:40] !register | Cheek1 [12:40] Cheek1: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. [12:40] you have to type in "/msg nickserv help register" [12:41] but first you have to do "/nick your_wishnick" [12:41] dr_willis, I assumed that, as you can right click on a folder and set up the sharing options, but I get a permission denied when doing so http://pastebin.com/m2b4009fa [12:41] BB88, you dont 'have' to use samba to transfer the files. You could but you dont have to. theres other ways. [12:41] Cheek1:dont you have any mail ids like gmail,yahoo [12:41] cheek1: thats all ;-) [12:41] !ot [12:41] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:41] BB88, i never use that method to share directories. I normally set up samba to share the users homes. [12:41] WasserDragoon: really .. you sure man thats wat i did .. [12:41] does anyone use rhythmbox and the last.fm plugin with success? [12:42] WasserDragoon: everyone tells me to get it do that command [12:42] pronoy_: any better? [12:42] dr_willis, I just want the easiest way if possible? :D [12:42] BB88, but yes.. i just tried the right click/share thing.. and it seemd to work.. I have manually installed the 'samba' server package [12:42] cheek1: because nickserv let you know more about how to register your nickname [12:42] i am going over it with linny [12:42] BB88, ssh is very easy. install ssh on both boxs use that places -> remote server -> service type ssh.. enter login/pass.. and start copying [12:43] can i connect two laptops side by side to transfer data [12:43] cheek1: first "/nick example_nick" then "/msg nickserv register example_password example@email.com" [12:43] ActionParsnip:i'll get back to you as soon as there is progress [12:43] with a 2 sided usb wire [12:43] dr_willis, sudo apt-get install ssh ? [12:43] BB88, i think so [12:43] !netsplit [12:43] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [12:43] anyone that had a wubi problem 4 hours earlier and i offered to help?? [12:43] amanulla, it would need a special usb cable.. [12:44] amanulla, the usb-transfer cables ive seen have some sort of 'thing' in the middle.. Not sure what they really do. ive never used one under linux [12:44] Do you know a CHM reader with good full-text search? Maybe not presented in main repos [12:44] its basically like a crossover ethernet but is usb, they are horrid [12:44] genius, you could alwyas use one of the chm2pdf converters if you dont find one. [12:45] ActionParsnip, thats the general gist i got from the people ive talked to that use them also.. :) [12:45] genius: gnochm [12:45] dr_willis: i have a ladge perldoc consisted of 6 books! :) [12:45] genius: in kde use kchmviewer [12:46] I reboot my Ubuntu Laptop and now my USB 2.0 Traveldrive won't work any idea why ?? [12:46] anyone? Is it possible to get Zend Optimizer from repo for Ubuntu hardy x64? [12:46] dr_willis, thank you very much, the ssh seems to working now. [12:46] genius, i must have 8+gb of ebooks and stiff ive collected over the ages.. [12:46] dr_willis:i havw a cable which is having usb pins at 2 sides wont it be enough? [12:46] dr_willis: will it work better as pdf? [12:46] lnc12: unplug then replug it in [12:46] lnc12: then wait a while [12:46] amanulla, no idea. for transgfering files.. i use peer-peer network cables.. [12:46] I tried both thing [12:47] genius, no idea.. the chm readers ive seen under linux are all rather.. minimal. [12:47] lnc12: does it appear in sudo fdisk -l [12:47] nop [12:47] genius, i spend some time converting a lot of chm books i had. to pdf the other day [12:47] but it did befor [12:47] befoe [12:47] lnc12: has this been in a windows pc? [12:47] before [12:47] nop [12:47] gnichm - is cruel joke :) it has fulltext but can't search inside the page!!! :) so it is not usible for manuals [12:47] lnc12: dos it show up in lsusb? [12:48] neither [12:48] lnc12: does it work in another system? [12:48] dr_willis: how to conwert and which pdf reader do you prefer? I ihave KDE installed and use KDE and Gnome programs [12:48] genius: xchm [12:48] Where is eth0? [12:48] yeps on my sis laptop with OpenSUSE 11 [12:48] genius, i just found some chm2pdf command in the repos ive used. [12:49] lnc12: are the usb ports turned on in bios? do other usb things work [12:49] dr_willis: and pdv viewer of your choice? [12:49] Kakurady: nowhere, its an alias for a network device [12:49] they are turned on and yes my external hd (MAXTOR) works [12:50] Hi there, right now I have a Virtual setup where I am extending onto a second (large, tv size) monitor .. with this resolution my card cannot support adding effects. I don't need them, but I want them though .. is there some way to enable desktop effects while my TV is turned off (and not extend my screen) or is that too much of a hassle you think? [12:50] ActionParsnip: Really? Like it's nowhere on the filesystem? [12:50] genius, never really worried about it. just acroread, or tjat foxit one [12:50] is there a quick and easy way to restart X without having to shut down the whole PC from the menu? [12:50] lnc12: because i got disconected when you asked, can you please tell me the hardware in question? [12:50] Kakurady: im sure its someplace but as a user its not a concern [12:50] CoRnJuLiOx: Crtl + Alt + Backspace [12:50] CoRnJuLiOx, alt-ctrl-backspace.. or restart the gdm service.. [12:50] CoRnJuLiOx: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [12:50] CoRnJuLiOx: log out first, then do one of the things above [12:50] A traveldriv usb stick 2.0 [12:50] lnc12: unmount your maxtor and put the smaller usb in that port [12:50] CoRnJuLiOx, or you can set the gdm configs to 'always restart the x server' when you logout [12:51] lnc12: you may have a dead port [12:51] tried that dosent work [12:51] I'm having some trouble with Intrepid involving Nvidia display drivers and network connection, but I thought the question doesn't have to do with Intrepid really so I asked here instead... [12:51] nop all 3 ports work with other usb devices [12:51] hello [12:52] slr [12:52] ca farte [12:52] Kakurady: load a hardy live cd to verify that theory [12:52] any ideas ?? [12:52] hey guys. is 8.10 beta stable enough for me to install on a fauys computer that have enver used linux before? [12:52] lnc12: then all i can suggest is a bios update (very risky) [12:52] okay [12:52] does anyone have a rtl8187? [12:53] lnc12: problematic hardware or you did nor "safely removed" it on a win pc [12:53] sjovan: fauys? [12:53] sjovan: no, it's only for testing until it is released [12:53] hi, I have set cron to the daily scripts at 3:25am why do they get executed at about 7:50 am ? [12:53] I haven't used it on a windows [12:53] m'kay [12:53] Ward1983: i dont, but i may help if you ask [12:53] lnc12: try putting it in suse then safetlty remove it and unmount properly [12:53] jrib: It won't work, the network is disabled only when the proprietary "nvidia" driver is used which cannot be tested with a liveCD. [12:54] lnc12, do you need to recover your data? / is it important data? [12:54] okay I tried right a way [12:54] nop [12:54] just want my usb to work [12:54] Kakurady: why not? [12:54] lnc12, ah ok, else you should make a image with dd and then use photorec [12:54] lnc12: strange how it doesnt show in lsusb [12:55] recovered a friends nieceś thesis with photorec lol [12:55] Ward1983: i use testdisk and dd_rescue, gets everything [12:56] ActionParsnip, ill remember that, the stick had only word docs, txts and jpegs though, so photorec was simply terrific [12:56] whatever works for you ;) [12:56] jrib: LiveCD doesn't load restricted drivers on boot, as I know it. And to load such driver you need to reboot. [12:56] CMIW [12:56] ActionParsnip, dd_resque might be handy if i ever need to recover other data [12:56] 8.04 or 8.04.1 ? i'm on the uninet ftp... [12:57] lol i should place some ads [12:57] 25eur / recovery 0eur is not succeeded [12:57] Ward1983: it's like dd ut doesnt cry when data is not readable [12:57] now it works when I made a safely remove in OpenSUSE you guys are great thanks [12:57] i would like to install slackware on my usb stick [12:57] some one pls help [12:57] how to do it in ubuntu? [12:57] do any one have an idea? [12:57] amanulla: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:57] ActionParsnip, sounds very cool [12:57] Kakurady: nah, just modprobe and restart X [12:57] amanulla, use that 'unetbootin' tool - it can isntall several different disrtos to usb thumbdrives [12:58] amanulla: id stick with ubuntu for now to learn the systems before going for slackware [12:58] amanulla, or check the docs at pendrivelinux.com [12:58] amanulla: have a look in pendrivelinux.com [12:58] but unetbootin is a handy tool. :) [12:58] * Kakurady doubts if the kernel module will be there but will still try it anyway [12:58] ActionParsnip, oh yeah photorec is specifically for memorysticks etc so you might want to try it sometime if you got a memorystick thats dead, youĺl probably like it [12:58] damn. ok i've got an ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 on my laptop right now and i dont know how to get 3d acceleration working. AFAIK the flgrx driver doesn't support this chip so i'm stuck trying to find another way. any ideas? [12:58] see you [12:59] hello, i have a question about how to config so X server does not go on CRT-0 640 * 480 on restart. how do i do that? [12:59] Ward1983: how can it be specifically for memory sticks, its just a /dev device like a cd or hard drive? [12:59] CoRnJuLiOx: radeon driver? === Lior is now known as OOPrg [12:59] ActionParsnip: the kernel problem is solved thanks to linny [12:59] radeon driver? [12:59] CoRnJuLiOx: the free radeon driver should give 3d on that chip [12:59] i get around 200 fps on glxgears [12:59] dr_willis:how much mb 'unetbootin' will [12:59] be? [12:59] !ati | CoRnJuLiOx [12:59] CoRnJuLiOx: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [12:59] unetbootin is a handy tool means? [13:00] CoRnJuLiOx: glxinfo | grep direct [13:00] amanulla: handy means useful. [13:00] Does anybody know why thunderbird subject is not showing completely in the view pane when the subject is longer than 70 chars? [13:00] ok [13:00] glxinfo | grep direct gives 'direct rendering: no' [13:00] ActionParsnip, i remembered wrong, but it was developed for camera sd cards, etc i once read [13:00] hello, i have a question about how to config so X server does not go on CRT-0 640 * 480 on restart. how do i do that? PLEASE HELP! [13:00] amanulla, its not too big an app.. it is avail for windows and linux. the size of the iso files it uses will be MUCH bigger then the size of the binary === hagabaka is now known as quassel251 [13:00] can wubi install any distro other than k/x/ubuntu? a friend of mine just told me he is gonna use it to install gentoo :| [13:01] jim_p, not that i know of.. and why would one want to :) [13:01] Ward1983: as long as its seen by the system it can be used on any block device [13:01] dr_willis:ok how much mb i need to download to get that [13:01] tell me as less as possible [13:01] MaxJays: one cause I've seen of that is having the monitor powered off when rebooting [13:01] ActionParsnip, i thought i remembered it had some specific stuff in there for memory sticks / sd cards, etc [13:01] amanulla, i have no idea.. go get it and see. check google for its homepage. [13:02] MaxJays: if the server can't auto detect the monitor capabilities, it defaults to a safe mode [13:02] dr_willis: because he thinks wubi is THE tool! i dont know, i thought people would laugh at my question [13:02] amanulla, the program will want/need the slax iso image file (or cd) [13:02] dr_willis: btw, apt is the real THE TOOL [13:02] jim_p, ive not heard very many good things about wubi. id rather run inside virtualbox then use wubi. [13:02] MaxJays: if you accidentally boot with the monitor off, just hit ctrl-alt-bksp at the login screen once you have the monitor on, and that should fix it [13:02] dr_willis:prefer one for me [13:02] dr_willis: i couldnt agree more with you! [13:03] dr_willis I will give you many bad things about wubi, but I can think of non-positive, it's a solution fora non-existant solution [13:03] Good Morning all [13:03] <_haywire_> what's good about it? [13:03] s/soltion/problem [13:03] but, the monitor in this case VSpike is a projektor [13:03] and it's turned on [13:03] as i plug in nokia n70 its not mounting the memory card as a usb device, instead i see some ttyACM0 device what can be done to access the files in memory card of n70 via usb? [13:03] but ubuntu does not seem to recognize [13:03] Ward1983: theres a place near mine that was gonna charge 60 GBP weather they recovered any data or not. I did for beer and pizza for her and her bloke and me and my lady [13:03] jim_p, well my rtl8187 doesnt work, apperantly theres a bug, shich i found on launhpad, let me go see if i find the link [13:04] ActionParsnip, i did it for free a few times too :) [13:04] Ward1983: jim_p: arent there drivers you can compile on the realtek site? [13:04] ActionParsnip, but for strangers 25eur would not be much imho [13:04] !netsplit [13:04] dr_willis: lets say that wuby lets you linux installation access real life hardware and not virtual. this is the only wubi advantage i see, otherwise its pathetic! [13:04] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [13:04] hello [13:05] Ward1983: reload the module? [13:05] ActionParsnip, i only know of a driver from the aircrack-ng wiki, for packet injection, but that one doesnt work well either [13:05] i have a question concerning the ubuntu installation [13:05] jim_p, and some times it even works! :) === quassel251 is now known as hagabaka [13:05] jim_p, yes i did that it worked for many people in the bug thread [13:05] can anyone help me? [13:05] dr_willis: lmao! [13:05] jim_p, it worked for me once :s [13:05] ask it vincent [13:05] jim_p, just once after that it never worked [13:05] ok, I have a laptop with windows. [13:06] there i made a bit free space at the beginning of the hard drive [13:06] jim_p: i just think its half ass, ubuntu runs live off cd anyway [13:06] that space is unformatted [13:06] how can i eject my DVD burner its telling me that im not privalged [13:06] i startet linux cd and said: use largest free space [13:06] also if i immediately ping when i get connection allways after the exact same amount of pings it hangs for a few secs, then goes on for another 4 packets and then the connection is dead === dropbear_ is now known as dropbear [13:06] Vincent_, xp? [13:06] ALLWAYS like that [13:06] Omeil, 'sudo eject' perhaps? [13:06] Vincent_: ok [13:07] Vincent_, unallocated, is not the same as unformated. [13:07] yea :) [13:07] really weird it has ever done that before [13:07] yes unallocated [13:07] dr_willis, thx [13:07] will it select the unallocated or will it decrease a partition and instal there? [13:07] Vincent_: boot to xp and unallocate the space [13:07] ActionParsnip: yea but live cd does not give you the chance to save your settings, install progs etc and still have them on next reboot! [13:07] can i open a new session, so i run KDE and Gnome at the same time? [13:07] jim_p: if you mount ~/ to a memory storage you can [13:08] should be able to pick that up in the installer if you use manual partition [13:08] MaxJays, with another user, yes [13:08] MaxJays, Yes you can. theres a way you can start a 2nd x session on the alt-ctrl-f8 console :) [13:08] ok, [13:08] ActionParsnip: name me one ubuntu newcomer that can do this and cannot install through wubi [13:08] jim_p, ActionParsnip this is the bug thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/182473 [13:08] jim_p: im not saying that. Im saying its possible [13:08] Ward1983: modprobe rtl8187 does not work? do you get errors? [13:08] what is a wubi? [13:09] !wubi [13:09] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [13:09] jim_p, works, no errors [13:09] jim_p: all you said was store settings and user data [13:09] jim_p, only the connection drops as discribed [13:09] Ward1983: was the module updraded recently [13:10] dr_willis, I saw this output from Wine fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on CA0106, disabling mixer [13:10] sound works tho, just thought maybe you seen that before [13:10] jim_p, you know what just to make sure ill do a clean install [13:11] MaxJays: i don't think it matters if it's a projector. The graphics card reads the device capabilities using EDID, and the xserver reads that to decide what is safe. Works the same for CRT, TFT or anything else that supports it [13:11] have question [13:11] I asked this a while back, if my machine does not suuport acpi how can I install ubuntu-desktop when it does not exec acpid which gnome-session depends on [13:11] hi [13:11] Ward1983: i think its a loss of time (the clean install). just remove the module and reload it! [13:12] !ask | kibibyte [13:12] kibibyte: 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. :-) [13:12] clean installs are for Windoze [13:12] Ward1983: and to make sure its loaded, have it pinned in /etc/modules [13:12] clean installs are for when intrepid comes out [13:12] ActionParsnip: oh yeah. that too X_X [13:12] what will happen if i install .deb package with synaptic pacgae manager , and .deb package has postinstall shell script which user for some config input [13:12] please god dont tell me it is intrepid iguana [13:13] kibibyte: what package is that? [13:13] kibibyte, ya see a little terminal window with the text normally [13:13] ive seen too much heartache from updates. If my box doesnt work after an update I just do a clean install with the new version [13:13] T_Davis: ibex. [13:13] hi all. I'm trying to use mplayer without X using fbdev but I get this error: /dev/fb0 doesn't exist. I've searched the net for answers, and I got some hints about passing kernel parameters to grub, tried several vga=xxx combinations, no success. Anyone experienced with framebuffer?' [13:13] T_Davis: intrepid ibex, apparently. [13:13] dr_willis, but it by default hidden [13:14] ok, I can stay with ubuntu now [13:14] kibibyte, never noticed.. I normally know to look at the logs/window, or i use the terminal to begin with... [13:14] An ibex == http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/pix/lazoo/Ibex-m.jpg [13:14] ok [13:16] ActionParsnip: what is the matter with ubuntus 2 latest animal-maskots? why does a maskot MUST have horns? to be honest i did not like that jackalope, pokemon-like, rabbit with deer horns [13:17] anyone have trouble with firefox always starting in offline mode? [13:17] jim_p: it doesnt make a difference, it'll still be linux [13:17] savage-: theres a tweak for that [13:17] VSpike, when i switch user and login to Openbox the screenresolution changes to 640*480 and when i change back to gnome. it's the 1280*1024 [13:17] 'toasty toad' [13:17] ActionParsnip, Can you share? :-) [13:18] MaxJays, kde an gnome both can save the users perfered resolution. that mightbe whats going on. [13:18] What is the default proceeses of ubuntu serve (eg. top on blank install)? [13:18] savage-: always - https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+faq/96 [13:18] ActionParsnip, Thanks! checking it out [13:19] dr_willis, now the screenresolution is ok, but when i restart i need to unplugg the Projektor, and then plugin my LCD screen, and change. [13:19] ubuntu need's to recognize my screen [13:19] !netsplit [13:19] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [13:19] otherwise i go on 640*480 on the projector [13:19] MaxJays, i tend touse twinview withmy nvidia cards and just use all the monitors at once. :) [13:20] hotplugging in new monitors.. can cause confusion i imagine [13:20] hi all, I want to replace the passwd, shadow and groups flat files by openldap db can anyone give me a hint on how to do this ? [13:20] but i dont have 2 VGA's on my grafic card === philwyett_ is now known as philwyett [13:20] so i need to plug in my LCD trough my projektor [13:20] it has a monitor output === kbrosnan_ is now known as kbrosnan [13:21] hoy [13:21] the bad part is that i have to boot my computer with the LCD screen plugged in to the nvidia card [13:21] otherwise the system start with crap resolution [13:22] anyone that had a wubi problem 4 hours earlier and i offered to help?? [13:22] My client are not prompted for authentification when redirected to my squid, can someone help me ? [13:24] It works when they point on the proxy IP and port not thru redirection :( [13:24] I've been using post-up in /etc/network/interfaces like in http://paste.ubuntu.com/54975/ . Should I move that post-up block somewhere else in the filesystem? [13:24] is your dns pointed at the proxy? [13:24] Klangdah: proxy-auth doesn't work if you're doing transparent redirection [13:25] Oh great ... how can I do it then ? [13:25] Klangdah: transparent means they don't know there's a proxy in there [13:25] Morning all [13:25] morn [13:25] I need my wifi clients to indentify to get access to the web, I need dhcp and proxy to log activity too [13:25] Klangdah: WPAD? [13:26] radius? [13:26] Klangdah: then deny direct access to the web [13:26] I'm sorry ? (quite noobish in linux even if not that noobish in comps :) [13:26] T_Davis: true [13:26] Klangdah: I mean web proxy autodiscovery [13:26] just create a little wireless "dialup" isp [13:27] It's going to be a public access, I "just" need to give the pw to the clients, can't ask them to install client soft or configure connection [13:27] can you ask them to change the "Try to discover settings for this network checkbox"? [13:28] anyone running ubuntu on a Dell D630 laptop? [13:28] At first I thought about doing an auth page on a web server, then I thought about the proxy then I get mixed up :p [13:28] Klangdah: to log activity, either proxy or iptables -j LOG [13:28] savage- conexant modem issue? [13:28] Hi! I'm having problems with Ubuntu hanging while switching users(when effects are enabled) [13:28] Could anyone suggest something i should learn - i just started using linux the other day i have a basic understanding with the terminal. [13:28] Is there any fix to this? [13:28] is there anything i should learn? [13:29] lbruno : no I can't, some of them are very noob and I don't want the logging part to be obvious [13:29] T_Davis, Nope -- just wondering if the LCD has issues... doesn't seem as clear as my old IBM Lenovo T60, but maybe I can't compare... [13:29] yes, learn nano, learn to do it all from terminal, the shiny thing is for kids and old people [13:29] !netsplit [13:29] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [13:30] T_Davis, Nope -- just wondering if the LCD has issues... doesn't seem as clear as my old IBM Lenovo T60, but maybe I can't compare... [13:30] in that case, the "needs password to continue" webpage might a bunch of scripts that manipulate the firewall rules [13:30] forget the proxy-auth [13:30] yeah so redirected transparent proxy just does NOT work with auth right ? === pronoy is now known as pronoy_ [13:31] Everything works wonders when I get the client to point on the proxy :( [13:31] Hi! I'm having problems with Ubuntu hanging while switching users(when effects are enabled). Is there any fix to this? [13:31] yep, proxy-level auth needs to know there IS a proxy [13:31] when a user sucessfully logs in (where the "sucessfully" criteria is defined by your webapp), point it at the proxy [13:31] you could get a wrt54g router and dd-wrt and let it run authentication [13:31] <^Cheeky> hey could anyone tell me why my sound stopped working with youtube or any other video sites? i tried playing mp3 and i have sound, i also have ALSA as well could some one help me ? if i restart my computer it seems to work fine but always goes back again [13:31] #eas [13:31] before the client "logs in", he's pointed at the same static page: /var/www/auth.html [13:32] Klangdah: see where I'm going with this? [13:32] Yes ... when redirected it "skips" the auth part and gets denied access [13:32] Klangdah: yeah, the users are always redirected [13:32] priveledges on the auth.html file, set to www-data [13:33] anyone that had a wubi problem 5 hours earlier and i offered to help?? [13:33] either to the "log in here" page, or to the proxy [13:33] Ok so auth thru the proxy is down, what's left ? firewall ? [13:33] <^Cheeky> anyone encountered my problem,? [13:33] since they're running on two different ports, the -j REDIRECT can be done [13:33] Klangdah: exactly [13:33] Or web auth that sets some rules (although that completely new for me) [13:33] Klangdah: you we're already doing part of the job [13:34] check the permissions on auth.html and lemme know [13:34] I'm not in front of the server and can't get access to it ... and can't get access to IRC where the server is \o/ [13:34] just want to tell you people one thing: In gambas, you can do quite powerful things, quite easily[unlike VB]. I designed a basic terminal just now in a matter of 2 minutes. I was just thinking what to do, I didn't even refer much about suggestions etc. Just did it! [13:35] the webapp, when the client logs in, adds a rule for the /32 that -j REDIRECT to the squid [13:35] gambas seems to be gr8 for gui designing! === PEAKTOP is now known as PEAKTOP810 [13:35] wich firewall should I install then ? [13:35] hmm, another debate tonight b/w the presidential candidates [13:35] ? [13:35] Klangdah: huh. you are already doing the transparent redirect using iptables, right? [13:35] savage--: Try ##politics, not #ubuntu [13:35] yes [13:35] hello, is there any way to get powertop to run in conky? i've searched on google but i can't find anything [13:35] i stopped one command(process) by using "CTRL+Z" and when i again run it, i get error "another copy is running. Aborting." . how to quit that process ? [13:36] Klangdah: it's the same thing [13:36] Klangdah, use iptables, with something like firestarter as a frontend [13:36] Klangdah: but you'll have to write the webapp for it [13:36] in terminal type fd and quit the program properly [13:36] adityag: you could type 'fg' in that terminal to bring it back to the foreground. [13:36] How to mount an NTFS partition by default, when Ubuntu boots [13:36] sorry fd [13:36] used to redirect : iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.1:3128 [13:36] iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp –dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3128 [13:37] Pici: fg , i can see that process, but how do i get it back [13:37] How to mount an NTFS partition by default, when Ubuntu boots [13:38] !mountwindows | waj [13:38] waj: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [13:38] adityag: What do you mean by 'you can see it?' [13:39] Thanx, will try it now [13:39] hey pici is it fg or fd? [13:39] bunk [13:39] T_Davis: fg [13:40] <^Cheeky> anyone could assst me with a sound problem with ubuntu ? [13:40] the bbc plugin in totem is that sposed to do tv ? i only get radio ? [13:41] what is mythbuntu ?? [13:42] Distro for Myth TV [13:42] oh? [13:43] because I saw Mythbuntu Control centre for download in the Debian packge managment software [13:43] IamSOG: yeah, never tried it. i tried geexbox and liked it though [13:43] IamSOG: i think most of the Myth software is in the repos [13:44] omg [13:45] jim_p, ActionParsnip reloading the module didnt help but right-clicking the network panel and switching wireless network to off and back on fixed it [13:46] Ward1983: do you use network manager? stop it, exit it, uninstall it and delete tha .deb file that installs it [13:49] jim_p, why? [13:50] jim_p, its nm-applet [13:50] how its possible that apache start with uid owner = www-data [13:50] i mean pid [13:50] kibibyte: that happens by default when you install from the repositories [13:50] hello all! hey,i want to rename a file via ssh, i do "rename /bin/bbb /bin/aaa" and its not work.. there is any other command for rename a file? ... thanks! [13:50] Ward1983: because it is responsible for all sorts of network abnormalities, wireless and wired one [13:50] krupa^: use mv [13:50] jrib, but how [13:50] mv is not move? [13:50] it is [13:51] jim_p, nm-applet? [13:51] test [13:51] ahh ok [13:51] but mv /bin/bbb /bin/aaa does rename it ;) [13:51] got the idea [13:51] krupa^: moving a file is the same as renaming it :) [13:51] yeah, windows will never get it [13:51] :D [13:51] Ward1983: a friend of mine connected ONCE on his neighbors wireless router, and for a week network manager was trying to connect to that network NO MATTER WHAT!!! [13:51] krupa^: 'rename' is more for mass renaming files, use mv for single files. [13:51] kibibyte: why? Do you want to read the source code or just know where the setting is? === CoRnJuLiOx_1 is now known as CoRnJuLiOx [13:52] i hope somewhen ubuntu will be good work space for Web developers... not its still not there :/ [13:52] jrib im writing application and i want it to be runnig as non-root user [13:52] glxinfo | grep direct says 'Yes' now, but glxgears still reports an FPS of less than 1000 [13:52] is this normal, or no? i always thought you should be getting +2000 FPS with direct rendering enabled [13:53] hi all - any ideas why today's ibex update has given me a black screen when starting X? i hear the desktop audio, but nothing else (using stock X radeon driver) [13:54] <^Cheeky> anyone could sparesome time please? [13:54] how do I kill an application in the terminal on 8.04? ctrl+c just puts things to sleep.. [13:55] kibibyte: don't know about the internals.

[13:59] jesepe, catfox: ctrl-z generally suspends tasks. ctrl-c asks the task to terminate [13:59] catfox, jesepe: generally ctrl+z will stop a task, not end/kill it.

Hmm, I was not aware, although it's probably beta 2 or something along those lines.

[14:34] ^Cheeky: You can install libflashsupport to allow flash to play concurrently with other sounds, but it may make firefox/flash crash more./ [14:34] ^Cheeky: from the comments you made earlier it sounds like your machine a.) has hardware issues b.) is suffering a memory leak [14:34] bandluxe C120 ( HSDPA MODEM ) * [14:34] jrib, bobertdos, I got it installed now, my mom thanks you guys lol, she lives on myyearbook.com and it's flash intensive.

Do I lack any package installed? thank you! [14:45] ^Cheeky 1.) re-install ubuntu if you think it's software related 2.) take it to a hardware shop for testing [14:45] paolo_: what's the reponse to #mount /dev/??? [14:47] paolo_: also can you pastebin the relvent lines from lusb? [14:47] ikonia: Let's say my menu.lst has no splashimage parameter and if not, should I add it and what should it be? [14:47] IcyPolecat, i can't issue e #mount /dev/??? because the disk isn't seen as a disk. sudo fdisk -l doesn't see it, ls /dev/disk/by-path doesn't see it [14:47] <^Cheeky> i dunno if they would test my computer .. with linux on it and thats costs that i can pay out of my pocket i could re-install it but it would be hard for me to rememeber wat i configured to have my ubuntu working fine again ... well which just broke [14:47] IcyPolecat, what lines? [14:47] ^Cheeky: you can run a lot of diagnostics yourself get a copy of ultimate boot cd full (google) and test your ram, hdd and CPU for starters [14:48] paolo_: so what shows up in lusb? and what does dmesg print when you've plugged it in?

[14:52] Vlet to work with vmware - no, to act with virtualization, yes, kvm [14:52] !best| o7andrew [14:52] o7andrew: 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. [14:52] ikonia: Thanks, I'll look into it.

[14:52] ^Cheeky: It's the name of the disk. it's a ISO image you burn to disk and your computer boots to it (Same as your comp boots the the ubuntu cd when you insert it) except it gives you diagnostic tools instead of and OS [14:52] o7andrew: vlc brings (almost all needed) codecs with it, thats whay [14:52] *why [14:52] ikonia: Do you happen to know if kvm can run vmware 'images'? [14:53] what's the chance I can hotplug a sata drive? [14:53] lol >sweet dude [14:53] IcyPolecat, http://paste.ubuntu.com/55001/ is what dmesg shows [14:53] VSpike: the ones i tried worked (mostly ReactOS and Haiku images to try out) [14:53] does somebody knows the equivalent function of the fuction kbhit()? bump [14:54] <^Cheeky> voltage__, would i be able to get the output in .txt ? [14:54] livecd of 8.10 beta does not identify my graphics card, does ubuntu still use xorg.conf in 8.10? [14:54] erUSUL: I have a faulty one. reading in the first 1.5MB causes the drive controller to die, and eventually the device disappears. Rebooting brings it back, but just wondering if I can remove and re-insert it. [14:54] erUSUL: Maybe with a quick trip to the freezer in the interim :) [14:54] anyone who know the easiest way to set up a vpn between Ubuntu and a Windows XP? [14:55] KR-data: probably openvpn [14:55] Vlet no it can't [14:55] smacfarl: Yes, but come over to #ubuntu+1 if you want to talk about Intrepid, please. [14:55] VSpike: oopps my comment was for Vlet ... [14:55] Vlet: the ones i tried worked (mostly ReactOS and Haiku images to try out) [14:55] erUSUL: heh :) damn [14:56] paolo_: do other dirves work ok? and do you get anything further in dmesg after a while (i.e. a couple of minutes)? [14:56] paolo_: *drives [14:56] is there a channel for ubuntu server ? [14:57] ^Cheeky: Basically you boot to it, and it lanuches diagnostics (you just pick which one). if your ram is bad when you run memtest you'll get errors for example. if your hard drive fails diagnostics you'll get "Device has bad blocks or Error" if it's ok you'll get a pass or drive ok. CPU same thing, test pass or warining/error. some give you the option to save to disk but is of little use unless RMAing or something [14:57] yes #ubuntu-server [14:57] haha thx :0 [14:57] IcyPolecat, el disco principal (/dev/sda) funciona perfectamente [14:58] <^Cheeky> voltage__, let me run this cd .. i hope its notthing to do with my hardware [14:58] give the memtest 2 passes at least [14:58] <||cw> I've got a system that's been upgraded a few times, started at 6.06 I think and now is 8.04.1. trying to compile a 3rd party kernel module it acts like it's compiling for a xen kernel even though no xen stuff has ever been installed. tried an in-tree full kernel compile as well, it tries to compile a xen kernel unless I pass -arch to make-kpkg, but the resulting deb is still linux-xenu... wtf happen how do i fix it? dpkg-architecture says i386. [14:58] CPU 1/2 hr and full drive diagnostics [14:59] paolo_: understood but that's not going through the USB controller is it... at the moment it looks like an issue with the module responsible for high speed usb2.0 functionality. [14:59] DasEi1: it's only a floppy disk full of files, thats great [14:59] Hi.Id like to use a multi-protocol in my gnome, I dont know which to choose?

I will try it [15:01] thanks [15:01] !who| o7andrew [15:01] o7andrew: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:01] o7andrew: I see [15:02] <^Cheeky> ikonia, it worked i got it [15:03] ? [15:03] <^Cheeky> voltage__, i got my problem solved [15:03] smacfarl: Yeah, I am, although because everything is still unstable, my best advice would be to just be patient anwyway. [15:03] <^Cheeky> ikonia, wat i did wat looked in my process list .. and killed my broser and started the video and it works [15:04] ^Cheeky that sounds like it fixed a symptom, not the problem [15:04] IcyPolecat, a kernel module? what? [15:04] <^Cheeky> ikonia, so its noth the plug in by adobe thats messing me up [15:05] Hi! Template question: How can I do an "if" about the length of a list? [15:05] elTigre: Template? For what?

[15:06] paolo_: sorry - the bit of ubuntu that handles USB drives isn't working properly. You could try removing the uhci_hcd module and seeing if that makes a difference. You can always reenable it later [15:06] scuser : have you tried aptitude search kdb5_ldap_util ? [15:06] scuser:apt-cache search kdb* [15:07] I'm trying to reinstall my video driver, and it builds the kernel module (nvidia.ko) then says it failed to load the kernel module. I've recently patched my kernel, so that explains why (it was buitl against another one) but how can I get it to rebuild it? [15:07] IcyPolecat, ok, thank you [15:07] DasEi1: I just installed those extras, which said it included flash, but restarted firefox and still have no flash for youtube? [15:07] how do i link to another file from my bashrc? [15:07] o7andrew, hey maaaan [15:07] paolo_: to remove run the following in a terminal: sudo modprobe -r ehic_hcd [15:07] dude: dude! [15:07] o7andrew: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree mozzplugger [15:07] !flash [15:07] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [15:08] paolo_: and then reboot your machine. to re enable simply run sudo modprobe ehic_hcd and then reboot [15:08] o7andrew, yeah maaaannn [15:08] albuntu: yes I tried that but it didn't gave any results [15:08] as in i have another file with items I would like inside my bashrc and want to type a line into bashrc to bring that data in (without copy and paste) [15:08] !Restricted | o7andrew [15:08] o7andrew: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [15:08] scuser: also can look in paketmanager, else packet doesn't exist [15:08] IrishDavid: can't you open the two files in separate screens? [15:08] bobertdos: so this is my problem. I reported my graphics card bugs last year. Went through a whole round of emails that led to a request to try out the new linux kernel in the alpha. I figured I would wait for the beta, which I did. And now the Live CD works worse for my card then the 8.04 live CD does. This is a problem. I would love to understand who I can talk to about this.

[15:13] IrishDavid: not sure if you can just use #include [15:13] smacfarl: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing [15:14] IrishDavid: Just like you'd execute it from the shell. ./filename [15:15] IrishDavid: it's called sourcing. At where you want script2.sh to be inserted in script1.sh, you enter a line: ". /path/to/script2.sh" [15:15] hello [15:15] hi [15:15] IrishDavid: Note closely the line starts with a dot, then whitespace, then the path of script2.sh [15:15] ^Cheeky well seeing as a.) your machine crashes randomly b.) your audio and video plugins crash randomly I'd say not [15:15] Pici: I'm using ubuntu 8.04 if that make any difference? and I couldn't find anything about it although there are some resources talking about it on the web [15:15] how do you make work an LG touchsecreen on hardy?

[15:16] scuser : is ldap backend what you are looking for ? [15:17] albuntu: no I have already ldap working but I want to make kerberos search in its db instead of flat files and I need this utility to properly configure the kerberos to do that [15:18] thanks trilobiti exactly what i wanted [15:18] scuser : there is a launchpad url for this problem and it seems there is a solution for debian. you can try that maybe -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krb5/+bug/208576 [15:19] the package you need is krb5 but from what i see it is not implemented [15:19] hi room [15:19] scuser : read carefully there. they explain it well [15:19] IrishDavid: Pici: I think sourcing a script from within another script works differently than executing the script from within another script. Sourcing implies that the lines are inserted and everything is executed in one shell and the variables are preserved. Executing fires up a second shell and the two scripts are executed separately, and also their env variables don't clutter. === JayTeKay`off is now known as JayTeKay [15:20] o7andrew, why rio man?

I installed it as a dual-boot with XP last night, and everything seems to work except for the internet.

[16:18] how can i know a my wireless anttena dbi on ubuntu? [16:18] If I run sudo apt-get upgrade via ssh and disconnect before the operation finishes, will this stop the operation? [16:18] bofh80: someone here had a weird solution the other day. Install wine. Install firefox for windows. Install flash for that. He said it works 10x faster and better. [16:18] how do i install manually ? [16:19] helpy: i agree with draven1005 [16:19] i have already downloaded it [16:19] LeventersoY: iwconfig [16:19] helpy:if you absolutely have to, check out their HP [16:19] HP ? [16:19] homepage [16:19] maybe [16:19] bustaplz2: yes. start it with screen, then detach the screen and exit [16:19] i have ? [16:19] trilobiti, correct because firefox for windows fetches it from adobe directly strangley enough [16:19] komputes: cdfs is a standard for all cds [16:19] LeventersoY--> i dont think there are tools to truely measure dbi of an antennae within ubuntu [16:19] helpy:homepage, yes [16:19] google knows things [16:19] bofh80: if the package is broken, then fix it [16:19] you mean start it ON the machine rather than remotely? [16:19] How can I add the 8.10 packages to my 8.04 install so that I can use the newer kernel / nvidia drivers? [16:20] LeventersoY: iwconfig will give you the TX power, the only way to get the gain on the antenna is to read your card's spec [16:20] Gnea, if a package is broken don't purport that it works [16:20] <^Cheeky> ikonia, hey you have a min ? [16:20] bustaplz2: thats a better solution, but with screen you can do it remote. [16:20] Gnea: easier said than done that. :p [16:20] helpy:why do you need the beta ? [16:20] ^Cheeky what's up ? [16:20] hi all, in a LAN is possible to ubuntu to use a printer connected to a windows machine if theres no drivers for that printer in linux? [16:20] second question : how does one go about recompiling the linux kernel to be an exact duplicate of the 'out of the box' generic kernel, with just a few small fixes? [16:20] just because people think it's easier to sudo-apt get, rather than downloading a 2k file from adobe and unzipping it [16:20] what do you mean? [16:20] because oo2 sucks ? [16:20] terrestre: yes it is [16:20] bofh80: works fine here, you must've done something wrong. [16:20] bofh80: Log a bug if you think there is something wrong with the package. #ubuntu is not the place to complaing about it. [16:20] !bugs > bofh80 [16:20] bofh80, please see my private message [16:20] terrestre: copy the .config [16:21] i would like to state here, that flash has not worked since 7.10 frmo the packages [16:21] trilobiti: doesn't mean it's not imposssible ;) [16:21] terrestre: it's really unlikely there will be no drivers... there's normally something workable [16:21] bustaplz2: sudo apt-get install screen Then, man screen [16:21] bofh80: and I am going to state here, that you're doing it wrong. [16:21] Gnea: hehe indeed. I wish I knew enough to do that though. :| [16:21] oh i thought you were talking about screen as in monitor [16:21] Gnea, and if you install flash from the adobe site you might find yours starts to work proerplyu [16:21] Gnea: Just drop it, he should log a bug if there is an issue. [16:21] IcyPolecat : i buyed a external antenna , how can i seen this externel antenna status [16:22] <^Cheeky> ikonia, man iam learning java wat you told me about my system isnot giving me a piece of mind @ all [16:22] LeventersoY: an antenna is just a dumb bit of metal - if you need to know the gain then it should be listed in the antenna's manual [16:22] bofh80: but I don't have to. mine works just fine. perhaps you've got a buggy video driver. you should really file a bug report and get as much detail crammed into it that you can. [16:22] my problem, not enough space for ubuntu, ive tried making another partition, but it wont let me unmount the drive. [16:22] to be clear, I'm connected via ssh on Putty [16:22] LeventersoY: iwconfig will tell you the statistics of your wifi connection. [16:23] lucax1: this linux from scratch seens interesting [16:23] thanks [16:23] LeventersoY--> you can not, i told you there are no tools within ubuntu to give you that info [16:23] ^Cheeky: ok, I could well be wrong, I can only make comments no the information you give me [16:23] would screen be installed on the ssh host machine or on the remote machine? [16:23] Gnea, i have no need to, as i've said i've installed ubuntu on over 50 different machines for home use, can you claim the same? i've TESTED have you? [16:23] Azlx, u can use the gparted livecd [16:23] !ot > bofh80 [16:23] bofh80, please see my private message [16:23] Hi, can fetchmail forward to more than one user or do i have to use an alias database? ("user bla is bla1, bla2" - anything like that) [16:23] LeventersoY: and if you type "iw(TAB)" it will show some other wireless utilities you can use and that can come handy. [16:23] bofh80: yes, I have. [16:23] please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [16:23] is that something i can dl, or do i actually have to buy it, i got ubuntu from the net, so i dont have any actual cd or anything. [16:23] bustaplz2: you install screen on the machine you want to upgrade. sudo apt-get install screen Then, man screen [16:24] Azxl: free download [16:24] bofh80: matter of factly, flash works quite ok for me too. [16:24] okay [16:24] got the website, or is it an easy find? [16:24] Greeting everybody, Whenever I create any file in GEdit, like for e.g Hello.c then another hidden file named hello.c~ is created automatically in the same folder. what is it and what happens if I delete it. [16:24] i probably should have done that before i did sudo apt-get upgrade huh? [16:25] Azlx: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [16:25] bustaplz2: yes.... [16:25] kushalsejwal: that's a backup file many text editors create them [16:25] kushalsejwal: it's used for backup purpses from gedit. You leave it alone. [16:25] Azxl: google gparted-live cd [16:25] =D live and learn! [16:25] kushalsejwal: it's normally an "edit" file thats held on disk until you exit the editor committing it to the real file [16:25] bustaplz2: also, please prefix replies with the name of the person you are replying to. [16:25] kushalsejwal--> may i suggest deleting it to give you a warm feeling of what happens? its not bad to erase a sample test code [16:25] Hey everyone. [16:25] !hi [16:25] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [16:25] draven1005: okay, sorry [16:26] Quick question, anyone know of a utility that will view .pub files from Microsoft Publisher via Linux? [16:26] bustaplz2: aww, now i can see your replies much easier. thanks [16:26] <^Cheeky> ikonia, true i still havent rund the hardware diagnostics as of yet haveing my first cup of java as of now [16:26] ikonia : So I should leave it as it is? Its sometimes irritates when my folder is full of such hidden files :( [16:26] kushalsejwal then should dissapear when you close the editor [16:26] quick question: How can i configure some apps to open as soon as i start my session? [16:26] draven1005: i'm in class so I don't know if the upgrade will finish before I have to shut down =P [16:26] ikonia, no it doesn't [16:26] ^Cheeky then why not run them before you start trying to learn java [16:26] draven1005: How bad will that screw things up? [16:26] maniheer: oh really ? [16:27] kushalsejwal: they disappear when you close the edit session. In case of crashes and your work is unsaved, those files save your efforts. [16:27] ikonia : No they do not get dissapear [16:27] maniheer: I thought it was like the $file.swp for vi [16:27] Azhi_Dahaka:write them to /etc/rc.local [16:27] bustaplz2: if you use screen, then detach the screen you can safely close your ssh connection. [16:27] kushalsejwal in that case I can't comment on it [16:27] ikonia, nope, it stays there [16:27] its like a backup [16:27] Booted my Ubuntu 8.04 this morning. Update Manager sez I have updates. Five of them are "Important Security Updates". Out of curiosity, I select one (libvlc0) to get the description. The description is "The list of changes if not available yet. Please try again later". Does this seem odd? [16:27] well [16:27] it is a backup [16:27] trilobiti : they are there even I restart the pc [16:28] ubuntu seems to have copy-protection on dvd/cd media (trying to dd) any able to overcome this? [16:28] jim_p r u there? [16:28] Aethelred: No. Changelogs are not updated at the time that the upload is done to the server. [16:28] kushalsejwal, those ~ files are backups [16:28] and it can be set in the gedit preferences not to have those files created [16:28] is it going to be better to dl the iso, or the zip? [16:28] kushalsejwal: You might want to see for any option (if there's one) to place them elsewhere from gedit. [16:28] flea_: don't know any protection, maybe try k3b or nero ? [16:29] Aethelred: I use apt-listchanges in conjunction with apt-get upgrade to see changelogs myself, it always works. [16:29] maniheer: Okay then I think I should not bother about them === brett is now known as Guest28268 [16:29] DasEi1: thanks but i am only interested in a non-gui solution [16:29] draven1005: Looks like I'm in the clear, upgrade just finished. Going to install screen and play around with it a bit. Thanks for the advice! [16:29] how to install banshee-1? [16:29] Aethelred: although you need to download the packages before you can read the changelogs. [16:29] <^Cheeky> ikonia, i should but i have been trying to troubleshoot my box and havent accomplished anything so before i close my eyes i wish to learn something [16:29] DasEi1: dd works on all my other distros [16:29] Pici: Four of the "Important Security Updates" are like that, but other ones are not and include at least brief notes. I'm willing to ascribe this to human laziness, or technical hurdles, but it raises warnings for me. [16:29] ^Cheeky thats your decision [16:29] flea_: should work, too see : man dd [16:29] <^Cheeky> ikonia, indeed m8 [16:30] trilobiti: hey yest there is an option on the preference menu, should I uncheck it so that no temporary files are created ?? [16:30] 3g gprs test [16:30] DasEi1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=744261 -- im all aware of dd [16:30] kushalsejwal: you do that and try it out. If it's not what you want you can always revert back. [16:30] Pici: Do you have a sense how long the window is for the changelogs to catch up? [16:31] how I clean the cache memory in ubuntu? [16:31] i come back when the bugs logged and confirmed then you can eat words. make me sick. people claiming they know what they are talkin about. lies will show through. [16:31] trilobiti : Thanks mate, I would try. [16:31] pitoow: what's cache memory? [16:31] Aethelred: I don't know. I believe it grabs those from a different webserver than where the packages themselves come from. [16:31] kushalsejwal: no problem man [16:31] sorry for interupt... anyone from indonesia? [16:31] Ubuntu Rocks!! [16:31] memory cache [16:32] !id | b1nt4n6 [16:32] b1nt4n6: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [16:32] kushalsejwal, :P [16:32] Aethelred You got to think outside the box. A few years back there was no GUI tool for automatic updates. It's not like there are major security holes in your distro it's mostly stability fixes or compatability fixes. Don't think the M$ way where if you don't get updates your system will become infected for sure [16:32] maniheer : Seriosly man I am slowing getting addicted to Ubuntu, I just love it ;) [16:32] Pici: Thanks. In general, do you recommend for users to trust the "Update Manager" process? As wonderful as apt is, many people won't want to see a command line. [16:32] * DekRNR what command to edit folder name in ubuntu textmode [16:32] kushalsejwal: and then what? jump to father Debian? :D [16:32] * DekRNR what command to edit folder name in ubuntu textmode [16:32] !yay [16:32] Glad you made it! :-) [16:32] In order to learn/appreciate linux you got to unlearn windows [16:33] * DekRNR what command to edit folder name in ubuntu textmode [16:33] Aethelred: Yes. For the most part, desktop end-users should feel fine doing routine updates through the update manager. [16:33] anyone here installed MySQL 64Bit with csv-storage-engine [16:33] thanks ubottu [16:33] trilobiti : Hey how is Debian? I was thinking of downloading its iso [16:33] voltage__: I'm already outside that box, but part of what I do involves thinking about what it looks like from the users' perspective. [16:33] flea_: no further ideas on that [16:33] * DekRNR what command to edit folder name in ubuntu textmode [16:33] ***DekRNR : mv OldName NewName [16:33] DasEi1: mv [16:33] kushalsejwal: actually not as polished as ubuntu, but the repository of software is vast. [16:34] kushalsejwal, u = expert ? [16:34] thank FrankT-Qc [16:34] I use them both. [16:34] !repeat | DekRNR [16:34] DekRNR: 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 [16:34] quit [16:34] Pici: was for ***Dek..., nor ? [16:34] voltage__: and the extent to which the auto-GUI-tool works well, and is deserving of user confidence, is (part of) the extent to which I can keep users using Ubuntu. [16:34] Aethelred: Fair enough. The GUI has come a long way, for example the 8.04 flash install just works, never had that before. Not as many tweaks req. out of the box [16:34] DasEi1: Yes, sorry. [16:35] I want Pidgin to start as soon as Gnome starts...how can i achieve that? [16:35] Pici: np [16:35] trilobiti : okay , I gave ubuntu's child Mint a try and it was good [16:35] maniheer: kushalsejwal, u = expert ? what does this mean?? [16:35] !vnc [16:35] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [16:35] !xchat [16:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about xchat [16:35] kushalsejwal: by any means I encourage you to try Debian. Or any distro as for that. Learning never ends and the more you see the more you understand how it works.

[17:11] hi [17:11] cant find a faq for installing windowmaker [17:11] dont like gnome [17:12] loz: You burn them to an MP3 CD using the software that they're licensed to work with, then you rip them back to the computer, then you re-encode them using a Free codec, or install the non-Free mp3 codec. [17:12] RyanPrior: make a tarball of them, then md5sum. Done. [17:12] Ryan [17:12] are there any voip softwares that are not p2p? [17:12] #ubuntu.fr [17:13] RyanPrior: thanks, can i burn them with k3b ? [17:13] jamesish: No way I'm making two 20GB tarballs and digesting both of them. I'd like the test to fail as soon as it finds bits which are not identical... [17:13] loz: I did the latter (non free mp3 plugin) Then used xmms for my player for all my audio [17:13] but xmms isn't in 8.04 or at least I can apt-get it [17:13] k [17:13] *Can't [17:14] xmm2? [17:14] loz: No, if they are WMVs with DRM, you need to burn them using the software with which they are designed to play. That will probably be Windows Media Player. [17:14] xmms2 I meant [17:14] is it a newer one? [17:14] Isn't that out for the newest oob? [17:14] I'll have to try that one [17:14] RyanPrior: okay. write a recursive descent into the directories; once your workers reach the base of the directories, start md5summing. If you're only looking for a name by name comparison, just do a find into the dirs printing out the names, redirect to 2 files and use diff. [17:14] I thought so, but just upgraded to hardy lately on my home box and haven't yet messed with it [17:15] RyanPrior, : cheers, but i don't have microshite in my household, do you think attempting installing Windows media player through wine is risky? or just imposible? [17:15] yeah well on xubuntu 6.06 xmms went find but 8.04 xmms not found (neither is bitchx) [17:16] fine* (to much caffeene) [17:16] loz: Wine is not a good solution for things like this. I suggest going to a mate's house or to a public library with Windows software available. [17:16] Ioz: why do you dislike microsoft?

[17:39] v0lksman: just basic home desktop [17:39] And it's working as a FileServer with Samba [17:39] Villano: there is a package named automount that does what you want [17:39] Villano: but that will pull down some of the desktop packages [17:40] Villano: it does not need x, but you have to configure it through some /etc/auto* files === bizkit is now known as bizkit|AFK [17:40] Villano: yes, jim's suggestion of te legacy automount package will work too, good call jim_p [17:40] Ok.... guys...

If you NEED your machine to work at all times then wait. I won't be going to 8.10 until I find a reason to (which will likely present itself in the next week or two and likely something I fabricate... :) ) [17:41] Thank's ikonia, thanks Jim [17:42] alright, guess i'll stick to pclos gnome till oct 30th :P [17:42] !dutch [17:42] Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [17:42] is there a way to make running gdesklets icon not to appear on my panel?

Is that possible at all? [18:02] i looked in /dev/mapper and they showed up [18:02] en1gma my only thought is that now that dmraid is installed initram fs is hanging as it doesn't know what to do with your disk [18:02] is Launchy better than Gnome Do?

[18:29] how to run a cprogram in ubuntu [18:29] any one plss [18:29] !compile > amanulla [18:29] amanulla, please see my private message [18:29] anakln: sry, i cant help beyond that [18:29] geniusvicks, that would be the symbolic link type, and most OpenDesktop ones support ".desktop" format links, but you need to read each one's documentation on the GUI method to create them [18:29] amanulla: a c programm? [18:30] yes [18:30] flea_, no worries, thanks anyway :D [18:30] geniusvicks, a symbolic link is a low-level one supported by the Linux kernel, the .desktop is exclusively in your GUI programs that support openDesktop, which is basically all of them now. [18:30] i can see all the files on the ubuntu drive === benpicco_ is now known as benpicco [18:30] kk [18:31] is there anything i can do to fix it from windows [18:31] btw, there is some site to paste stuff which is not allowed here right, what is that? [18:31] anakln: i dont use nor have ever used vbox, but sounds like its getting exported as one part from vbox, if vbox cant see the usb devices [18:31] anakln: perhaps a drive config [18:31] !pastebin [18:31] 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) [18:31] geniusvicks, that is for "flood protection" because some files are just too big. [18:32] geniusvicks, not everyone has multicast-dcc you know. [18:32] ok the wireless adapter is a zyxel AG-220 [18:32] geniusvicks, or any dcc for that matter. [18:33] ruediix, didnt undestand what u said [18:33] btw, my fstab file shows http://paste.ubuntu.com/55068/ [18:33] But i have many [18:33] partitions [18:33] geniusvicks dcc is another method to transfer files on chat lines, it means "Direct Client to Client" [18:33] kk [18:33] vilhelm: did you run lsusb yet? [18:33] I will do it now [18:34] ID 0586:3412 ZyXEL Communications Corp. [18:34] can some help me hack my msn account to get it back [18:34] hi folks, I have have a Ubuntu 8.04 server running a small KnowledgeTree (DMS) install. I have an external USB disk that I would like to backup the system to and I was wondering what the best method was? "rdiff-backup"? Mondo Rescue? [18:35] thanks in advance! [18:35] :) [18:35] mimi sorry, can't talk about that type of stuff in here. [18:35] really [18:35] Help with fstab. I have many more partitions(Windows) but only few are seen in here. How to get them in? http://paste.ubuntu.com/55068/ [18:35] do there no way i can get my msn account back [18:36] all my contacts is there thats y [18:36] yoink what type of backup do you want, and what features? [18:36] mimi: contact msn support [18:36] mimi: ask mswn [18:36] I can't install Ubuntu. It reboots during loading [18:36] msn* [18:36] can give me any other solution [18:36] thanks [18:36] any ideas? [18:36] mimi is there a problem with the forgot password option? [18:36] Cool-Nick: always the same spot? [18:36] are u still here? [18:36] vilhelm: that adapter should work out of the box. [18:37] ruediix: well really I only need to backup the knowledgetree install, but it would be nice if I could backup that but also generate a disk image I could just use to restore if something happened... though I imagine I can't run something like dd_rescue if the disk is mounted. [18:37] v0lksman: yeah [18:37] Cool-Nick: what part? [18:37] geniusvicks, oh not all Windows partitions mount automatically, you need to install ntfs-ng to get it working. Encrypted and comrpessed volumes will still be slow. [18:37] geniusvicks, I mean not work reliably. [18:37] ruediix: it would be really wonderful to do incremental backups to save space but the external drive is 5 times the size of the system disk so not a big deal really [18:38] is there a way to find out what version of ubuntu you're running? [18:38] Tanalark lsb_release -a [18:38] is not that i forget the password someone have access with my account [18:38] vilhelm: can you see the network manager applet on the top panel near the clock? === gh is now known as Guest43709 [18:38] and change my password and the question 2 [18:39] i just feel bad coz i have that account for along time and all my contacts is there [18:39] mimi sorry, we can't help you here [18:39] thanks. [18:39] no promblem... i just have to try u know [18:39] is there a way to run Skype on 8.04.1? [18:39] I'm having trouble mounting a windows machine on the network, does anyone have experience there? [18:39] I looked on the repos and it's not there.. or at least, I don't know how to find it. [18:39] !skype | Tanalark [18:39] Tanalark: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [18:39] !medibuntu > Tanalark [18:39] Tanalark, please see my private message [18:40] v0lksman: during loading. Actually i couldn't insall ubuntu using GUI cuz it was rebooting in the same spot while it loads the GUI, so i installed it using the alternate CD, but the same problem happens when it is loading. Also i couldn't use the live version cuz it reboots at that point also. I can't never reach the desktop or any GUI, it reboots during loading the system. [18:40] Tanalark: medibuntu has skype which makes it easier to update etc. [18:40] yoink, hmm, well I use a compression program and tar for most of my backups. However, I usually only backup data and personal settings. [18:40] Cool-Nick: any idea what vid card is in the machine? [18:40] I have different desktop images in each desktop when I disable nautilus drawing desktop. But why don't I see the launcher Icons? [18:40] i downloaded the package, but it says that there's a hardware problem... something about i386 [18:40] and it won't run. [18:41] Tanalark did you get it from mediubuntu? [18:41] Tanalark: read ubottu's messages please and install skype from an Ubuntu package [18:41] v0lksman: what's the meaning of vid? [18:41] Cool-Nick: the video card [18:41] yoink, you could use rdiff, or a specialty program. KDE has several backup programs that support rdiff like functionality, with compressed tar backup formats. [18:41] ruediix: I can't believe my thinking was so uptight I didn't even ponder tar [18:42] v0lksman: what do you want to know about it? [18:42] Cool-Nick: what kind is it [18:42] Cool-Nick: make/model [18:42] I have different desktop images in each desktop when I disable nautilus drawing desktop. But why don't I see the launcher Icons? can not I have the images and launcher icons on the desktop? [18:42] ruediix: you know I think tar archives with the date appended to the filename in a weekly cron event might just do the trick [18:42] ruediix: thanks ! :D [18:42] v0lksman: Calorido nvidia AGP 256 [18:42] ksbalaji: stop spamming...check compiz..it's a known "issue" [18:43] Yoink, most people don't. If you want to do full backups, you can make added more frequent incremental backups by uncompressing the most recent archive, without untaring it, and then comparing it to a fresh tar with a binary patch tool. [18:43] v0lksman, thanks for responding. Please tell me where to check for the issue? [18:44] ksbalaji: compiz website [18:44] ksbalaji: or #compiz-fusion [18:44] v0lksman, thanks and bye. [18:44] ksbalaji there is a compiz plugin to resolve this issue that is included in intrepid [18:44] vilhelm: how are you getting on? [18:44] is there a way to bridge two dsl lines in ubuntu [18:44] hi i install apt-get install libnss-ldap but my network close and my install don't ends how can i install again ? [18:44] v0lksman: i can't remember what Geforce is [18:44] ^^ [18:44] noodlesgc: nice...didn't know about that...guess that is my "excuse" to run Intrepid.. ;) [18:45] what's the difference between a Metacity Theme and a GTK2 Theme? [18:45] ruif13: try sudo dpkg --configure -a in a terminal [18:45] Cool-Nick: hrm...never heard of Calorido...not sure what that is... [18:45] Azhi_Dahaka: Metacity draws the window borders. GTK2 handles the stuff inside the windows, i.e: buttons, scrollbars, etc. [18:46] ok got a question, i just use gparted to change a terminal, i have one ready, and im trying to use it with ubuntu, im duel booting windows vista, and im trying to use it with ubuntu, what do i do. [18:46] trying to setup ubuntu as a router with two dsl lines different ip address [18:46] ruediix: thanks again. I'm going to do some reading and a bit of playing. ;) [18:47] Hi, Im getting this weird error that i cannot seem to fix, the error is recurring when i log on to the computer it says... "Users $HOME /.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and languate from being saved. File should be Owned b user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME Directory must be owned by user and not writeable by other users" [18:47] v0lksman: i think it's Colorado [18:48] yoink, one last possibility in the other extreme, you can always use dd, and binary diff and compress that, so you get full recoverable partition images. [18:48] nate_: tried chmod 644 ~/.dmrc [18:48] v0lksman: maybe it's a Chinese company [18:48] <``Cube> whens the next version of ubuntu coming out?

Install one of the packages that apt-get/aptitude lists as providing this package. [18:54] ronny: it removes it from the #defoptions line as well, so it will never reappear. [18:54] utabak, with a virtual install? [18:54] Pici, thx [18:55] RonzO, ?? [18:55] utabak, do you just wnat to install the package?

A printer's "own drivers" should contain a .ppd too [18:56] hmm okay and how could i do this with a command? [18:56] RonzO: But not for a virtual package, you cannot install virtual packages [18:56] utabak, Pici to show dependancies, use the -D flag [18:56] RonzO, hmm :) [18:56] does anyone know?

[19:07] anyone know something I can do to fix the problem? [19:08] Tanalark, whats wrong with it? you should just be able to apt-get install it [19:08] Tanalark, i did it last night [19:08] just downloaded the Skype installer from medibuntu and there is an error: Wrong architecture "i386' [19:08] ikonia i got my system working again....it was easy [19:08] would you take me through the process of what you did, so I can duplicate that? [19:08] Tanalark: there is no skype installer at medibuntu [19:08] ok... [19:08] all i did (from windows) was restore the old initrd image with a tool that lets windows see ext2/3 fs [19:08] Tanalark, i don't have the medibuntu repos on here. i just did apt-get install [19:08] then I would love to findone. :) [19:08] Tanalark: medibuntu is a repository for applications like skype. [19:09] so apt-get install skype? [19:09] and that's all I have to do from the terminal? [19:09] yes [19:09] I'm a total newbie. [19:09] ikonia did you see what i wrote [19:09] Tanalark, sudo apt-get install skype [19:09] i preferd aptitude btw [19:09] Tanalark, yes, thats all ya gotta do [19:09] nate_: take a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5863392 [19:09] Tanalark: not at all, jsut follow the guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [19:09] wow... very cool. ;) [19:09] Hi, How would I establish a connection in a terminal window to /dev/ttyS0 ? [19:10] hello [19:10] it looks like it's working... [19:10] hii [19:10] Tanalark: ah, good :) [19:10] Whitor: With something like minicom [19:10] so I can do that for any package on the medibuntu repo? [19:10] just use the name of the program? [19:10] Tanalark: any that is available there [19:11] MrKennie, why would you use medibuntu repos? everything works fine for me without it [19:11] cool. [19:11] genii, ok, I'll look that up [19:11] RonzO: huh? [19:11] Tanalark, thats how you install packages with ubuntu. sudo apt-get install [19:11] thanks genii [19:11] *nod* [19:11] Whitor: You're welcome [19:11] MrKennie, why would you need to use medibuntu repository? everything works fine without it [19:11] jim_p: i dont think so [19:11] RonzO: huh? [19:11] MrKennie, including the dvd's and whatnot [19:12] ok.. I am used to PC Linux OS... I just "ported" over... and I'm used to doing all of my installations and such through the package manager. [19:12] jim_p: you can get the mod from me when i host the server [19:12] exit [19:12] Tanalark, you are in luck! Ubuntu has the Synaptic Package Manager [19:12] is there a general guide to setting up shortcuts and such? it's a pain in the ass to have to go through the menu to open a terminal all the time. [19:12] RonzO: it is my understanding medibuntu is for packages that cannot be included in Ubuntu for legal reasons [19:12] oh, that would be neat. :) [19:12] does it work like it does in KDE? [19:12] ok sledge [19:13] Tanalark, check out System -> Administration -> synaptic [19:13] Tanalark, Absolutely it works with KDE [19:13] MrKennie, they can't be included in the cd...but they are available in the repositories. libdvdcss2 is in there because in other parts of the world...they can use decoders for dvd's legally [19:13] oh! cool. :) [19:13] you will like it. its very comprehensive [19:13] have fun! [19:14] and Tanalark , just do sudo apt-get install skype. its in the repositories w/o the medibuntu, just checked it on mine [19:14] oh, I was aware that it worked with KDE... I just came from PCLOS 2007, which is in KDE... it works the same in Gnome? [19:14] does anyone know how i can extract a zip in command line [19:14] sledge: unzip [19:14] sledge, 'unzip' :) [19:14] Tanalark, Gnome, Xfce, awesome... any window manager you want [19:14] sledge: unzip [19:14] Tanalark, yup. =) any kde app works in gnome, and any gnome app works in kde [19:14] thanks a lot! :) [19:14] I didn't realize that. [19:14] you can use 7zip too [19:14] so.. next question. [19:14] ok thanks [19:15] is there a general guide to setting up shortcuts and such? it's a pain in the ass to have to go through the menu to open a terminal all the time.

[19:20] hello folks [19:20] techsupport, have you tried a reboot? samba needs a restart in order to work [19:20] hi does anybody know the status of wubi in the latest ubuntu beta? [19:20] reboot? [19:20] MrKennie, restart [19:20] RonzO: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [19:22] restarted samba, same error [19:22] techsupport, i had to reboot my computer when i put samba on it. i had a similar problem, and its a known bug with it [19:23] Hey, guys. I'm running into a problem with my Ubuntu install (Hardy Heron 8.04, I believe) in which the GUI side works fine, but when I try to ctrl-alt-F1 out to console, it goes schizo - I get half a screen of garbled partial white characters on black, and they flicker. Ctrl-alt-F7 brings me back to the UI side just fine, but I'd really love to get the console side working properly. Any thoughts? [19:23] etesla, what video card do you have? [19:23] ok rebooting.. [19:23] question: has anyone tried Openoffice 3? [19:24] and if so: does it look sleeker? [19:24] talntid: I'm not certain - let me look. (This is on a Sylvania g Netbook - I replaced the gOS Escape Pod OS that was originally on it.) [19:24] is there a way that I can tell from the command line that a DVD is encrypted with Content Scrambling System (CSS) ? [19:25] How do I connect 2 screens (Dual View) to HP series dv6000? (Nvidia) [19:25] talntid: VIA UniChrome Pro IGP Graphics, says the spec sheet. [19:25] anyone here [19:25] does anyone know what are the IO files for printers, where are they located [19:25] ? [19:26] I need to open a direct connection to a printer, by opening an IO connection to this device [19:27] FFighter: do you mean like /dev/lp0 ? === mgolisch_ is now known as mgolisch [19:27] Learnt to fly FFighter, if u want to share a printer, use samba... [19:27] how do I bridge a connection? [19:27] lucax, I don't need to share the printer, I need it to be accessible via IO, to use it programatically :) [19:28] MrKennie, hmm, thanks [19:28] ola [19:28] MrKennie, no lp0, I'm actually trying to access the cups-pdf printer [19:28] jim_p: how long is it going to take you? [19:28] How do I connect 2 screens (Dual View) to HP series dv6000? (Nvidia) [19:29] FFighter: I'm not sure what you mean then other than perhaps the PPD files? [19:29] sledge: i am not downloading now [19:29] MrKennie, well, I just need to open an IO connection to the PDF printer, how would I do that? [19:29] :) [19:30] sledge: i am looking to find a fast server [19:30] FFighter: are u tryin to print a file to pdf? [19:30] lsµ [19:30] anyone can help me [19:31] ? [19:31] lucax, kind of, I will be connecting to this printer for testing purposes, I have some ruby pritning logic that needs to connect to a printer, and as I don't have a real printer, I just need to connect to a similar API, hence the PDF printer [19:31] when i connect with cable i get a very fast download connection [19:31] when with my wlan i have just 32kb [19:31] OUCH [19:31] are u close to it? [19:31] lucax, IO.popen('path/to/device') [19:31] does anyone know of some sort of foobar2000 equivalent for ubuntu? [19:32] d0htem: what you mean [19:32] how far are u from the wireless router [19:32] FFighter: open office can do that... but not sure if how u can do it with ur program though... let me check that [19:32] How do I connect 2 screens (Dual View) to HP series dv6000?

In the next step choose “Generic Printer” and then used the “Postscript Color” driver. [19:34] lucax, hmm, haven't done generic and postcript color thing [19:34] will do, one min [19:34] hanak #wireless [19:34] d0htem: ok [19:35] i think its ur wlan card not the router [19:35] Hey, um, I kinda seem to be having problems with my network manager on Intrepid Ibex. It isn't working for some reason and I get a lot of weird "(read-only)" errors. [19:36] FFighter: k... try it hope it works!

The hardware is ok (tried with other operating systems and it works). dmesg gives me these msgs: 104.279821] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 64 ....

[19:37] i don't know where to find the cd drive. can somebody help me ? [19:39] More specifically, the video card has the VIA CX700 chipset. (If that helps.) [19:39] lucax, ah, you mean the URI ? [19:39] where can i find the cd drives ? [19:39] lucax, cups-pdf:/ [19:39] Can someone help me with some Network Manager issues in Ibex?

[19:42] hello [19:42] hi, i recently noticed everytime i login to hardy my applications evolution firefox or pidgin start in offline mode, i have to explicitly set to online to connect to internet. [19:43] i had a hard time trying to install windows and i failed..now im trying to restore grub at least and i fail here too..any guidance? [19:43] * etesla tries again, with more information. [19:44] lucax, hmm, didn't work [19:44] anyway, thanks a lot for helping [19:45] FFighter: Im googling but where u add the printer doesnt tell u wheres located? [19:45] lucax, apparently no [19:45] the PDF one [19:45] I'm on a Sylvania g Netbook. I didn't care for gOS, so I installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Most everything works fine, except when I try to shell out to console, which causes a black screen with the top half of the screen covered with flickering partial white characters. I can Ctrl-alt-F7 back to the GUI side just fine, but I'd like to get the console working. I think it should be possible, given gOS is an Ubuntu variant and console worked [19:45] localization field is blnak [19:45] blank [19:45] hi all.... how can i change the cooling fan setting in my laptop [19:45] ? [19:46] FFighter: check if theres a properties or something like that... or in printer default its another option in the menu...

[19:47] betanews: what if you apt-get install the package you want? [19:47] is it possible to reset the pw? cause while installation i set my password or my username wrong and dont wanna reinstall [19:47] i have the laptop here and a ubuntu cd of course [19:47] MrKennie: it shows all extra packages which apt-get thinks are needed to be updated [19:48] jjulian_:are you talking about root passwd or user login passwd [19:48] user login pw the main user [19:49] amanulla, the main user which you set on installation [19:49] betanews: if it depends on those files then I'm not sure. === greencookie is now known as enl810d [19:49] hi all.... how can i change the cooling fan setting in my laptop? [19:49] jjulian_:so you are not able to login now [19:50] jjulian_:like this"incorrect user name" [19:50] r passwd [19:51] MrKennie: I had to use install package_name instead of update package_name, since update takes no arguments [19:51] grr... [19:51] this is really starting to frustrate me. [19:51] jjulian_:you there? [19:51] everything will work fine for a few minutes and then my wireless connection just decides to stop working. [19:51] how do I unset my ircname? [19:51] betanews: that's what I meant, usually it will jsut install the updated package if a [19:52] ..available [19:52] enl810d:: by drop, but ask in #freenode [19:52] hey guys, anyway to chat with the modem manually instead of using progs like wvdial ?

[19:53] eh [19:53] is there a way to set up persistent Ad-Hoc networking using the Gnome UI and without network-manager interfering? [19:53] d_dyer:sure, its the swap [19:53] DasEi: i tried audacity for ripping audio from the avi file.... no luck [19:53] godsender: thats impossible! [19:53] !swap [19:53] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [19:53] trying to track down a crash in mplayer, installed mplayer-dbgsym but gdb still can't see any debugging symbols [19:53] Ok thanks [19:54] Is there a way to run ubuntu under paravirtualization ( vmi? ) with vmware esx?

[20:17] I have a situation where I want to users to have write permission on a folder. I've created a new group and added both users to the group and then I've done a recursive chgrp on the dir. This is all great until someone creates a new file and the new file's group isn't the common group. How can I make the chgrp setting persistent for new files? thx [20:18] k, thank you. [20:18] I just got rid of Network Manager and replaced it with network-config. Run it from the command line and voila, your internets work. [20:18] is it possible to rename the main user?

[20:23] <_bright_> UserRobert1967: You better install Ubunut desktop and install apache, php and mysql by XAMPP [20:23] <_bright_> is a lot easyer [20:23] _bright_: No, that is not the supported method. [20:23] XAMPP? or LAMP? [20:23] <_bright_> um... [20:23] <_bright_> LAMPP is for Linux [20:24] <_bright_> XAMPP for Windows [20:24] hello, i has some problem with my wireless router, i'd just install the router, and my pc (windows) and notebook (ubuntu) works well, then I restart both of them, the PC still can connect (with wired to the router), but my ubuntu can't find any wifi, i'd checked, lsmode, and the wlan detected, i'd tried with my cellphone, and the wifi detected, anyone know how to solve this issues please ? [20:24] <_bright_> so use LAMPP [20:24] UserRobert1967: XAMPP is a third party package that bypasses the repositories and we cannot support that here. [20:24] !lamp [20:24] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[21:17] I want to remove locales en_UTF-8 - what do I write? [21:17] guest47857: did you make sure you didn't format the windows partition? [21:17] anyone knows of an environment to create web pages for gnome, something like dreamweaber for linux? [21:17] macv1: sorry, no, but try googling for "acer ubuntu acpi" or so [21:18] bert123 what happens exactly why you boot? [21:18] *when [21:18] bert123: did you make sure you didn't format the windows partition? [21:18] guntbert: k... [21:18] Tybear241083, there is something very wrong with the wondows partition now, however I can see my windows files in ubuntu [21:18] DieseL`, just goes stright to ubuntu, and there is no mention of windows in the grub... [21:18] howto restart network daemon in ubuntu? [21:19] Mixed_--_, try nvu or kompozer [21:19] ichbinesderelch: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [21:19] bert123 so the windows partition is definately there? [21:19] genii: thx [21:19] bert123, i suggest you save you backup your windows files first before you try anything, if there are errors on the hard drive windows is very good at messing those up, back up your data first! [21:19] bert123: did you perhaps un-check the box that said it would create a boot file. it should give you a screen called grub when you first try to boot and give you the choice of which OS to use. does it do that? [21:19] DieseL`, appears so... i can browse to the files through ubuntu [21:20] ichbinesderelch: np [21:20] node357, thanks! i'll check out those appz rihgt now [21:20] dr_willis: what is the xrandr tool?? [21:20] Tybear241083, xrandr is the 'name' of the tools that let you change res onm the fly. theres several front ends to it. [21:20] bert123 do what Mixed_--_ said, backup first [21:20] Tybear241083, no... it gives a 3 second option to select the grub, but doesnt actully show it... just boots stright to ubuntu... [21:21] Have anyone tryed VirtualBox? (like vmware) [21:21] Tybear241083, each user under kde/gnome can have their own video res settings also. could be the user has the res selected. I gotta run to the store.. bbl [21:21] comicinker: http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/extragear-multimedia/amarok/cmd-line-options.html may help you [21:21] im having problems with some themes, can anyone help: http://pastebin.com/m49208f7f [21:22] DieseL`, Mixed_--_ , i would love to, but i have no space, and cant get another hdd, some of the files are very important (i know i should of backed up first :( ) [21:22] bert123 when your data is backed up, have a look at the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and see if theres any mention of windows in there [21:22] dr_willis: I am a newbee so I haven't heard of it. how do I start that? also, does nvidia settings normally give you some prompts and things? am I just not running it properly?? [21:22] try gnome-look.org for themes etc [21:22] I am having Audio problems can someone help me? [21:22] bert123 we can only assume something strange has happened during the install because ubuntu would usually find a windows partition and place an entry in the grub bootloader for it [21:23] hi all [21:23] quick question: is it feasible to use ubuntu off an USB key for everyday work? [21:23] Did you install ubuntu or windows first? [21:23] bert123: I agree that if you are going to do anything funny then you should back stuff up. are you able to go to the grub menu? if so you will get an option to boot from windows there [21:24] which size of a key would i need? does speed matter, like those high-speed keys they sell for vista memory booost? [21:24] Tybear241083, DieseL` just check the grub.menu.lst file and there is no mention of windows in there... [21:24] *checked [21:25] so for some reason windows didn't get detected properly [21:25] Tybear241083, there is only the default 3 options in the grub menu when i go to it (2x ubuntu's and a mem test) [21:26] i'd suggest a reinstall of grub, but i've never managed one over the top of an existing installation [21:26] bert123: I think something must have gone wrong with the installation. at least you can see your windows files. but, are those your doc files or are there windows system files on there too? [21:26] is anyone running ubuntu off a usb thumbdrive, btw? [21:27] gadugadu [21:27] Anybody knows how to free swap space on demand, say with a command? Lately I find myself filling up my RAM and swap, and this may lead to crashes, so I was thinking there would be a way to free the swap space and let it fill up again. [21:27] Tybear241083, there is a lot of doc's, vid's and a lot of installations (Visual Studio 2008 etc for uni), do you think its a lost cause to get it working agaain?? (if only for a while? [21:27] why do i have to be root to print in openoffice? [21:27] i don't have to do this in windows [21:27] badfish:because windows isn't secure [21:28] bert123: is there a specific Windows folder in the files that you can see [21:28] what's that have to do with printing in openoffice? === pzz495 is now known as vcc146 [21:28] i can print in everything else [21:28] What's the recommended way to authenticate a ssh key once and then have it work for the rest of the gnome session with ssh, scp, unison, etc? [21:28] openoffice sucks :) [21:28] hi, any body can help me fix the cisco aironet card, ubuntu couldnt recognize it, while pclinuxos a mandriva based live cd did and worked fine. [21:28] thiebaude, you're right about that, BUT i think one should be able to print without being root :-) [21:28] bert123, try those free online backup webpages! As long as you don't have any sensitive data like social security number, phone numbers, bank accounts, that is fine, if you have files for school and you lose them because of windows it could set you back a semester [21:28] Tybear241083, i can see every single thing on the partition... [21:29] open office is more than enough for 99% of users [21:29] bert123: did you ever partition your harddrive to install windows with the notion of keeping your docs seperate? [21:29] bert123, some of the info here might be helpful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [21:29] !root [21:29] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:29] it's just a tad slow [21:29] I say 75% to 80% [21:29] depend on the job [21:29] hadi57, boot those Oses and then check which drivers they use. [21:29] bert123, the easiest way to fix it is to boot your machine from a windows CD and fix the master boot record, windows will be able to boot up fine [21:29] thiebaude, without using sudo then [21:30] mixed: good idea. that could work I suppose [21:30] ubottu actuallt "sudo passwd" will set the root password ;) [21:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:30] not that different [21:30] hey anyone know why some windows keep graying out please? [21:30] Tybear241083, i partition the HDD when i got it. Installed windows on a 200GB partition, then kept a ~40GB partition as free space. I installed ubuntu on the free space tonight... [21:30] it says aironet, but ill boot again to be more precise [21:30] I work in IT and I use Office 20-40% fo the time [21:30] Mixed_--_ i've tried that and it has failed [21:30] previous experience [21:30] i ended up with a machine that couldn't boot in to either OS [21:31] Mixed_--_, i think i tried that... the windows recovier console??? it just brought me to a command prompt... [21:31] bert123, you should be able to run "update-grub" to redo the menu.lst and have the possibility to boot Windows. Read the manual and see what parameters you need to give. [21:31] hi, how can i change the image of the gnome main menu button??? [21:31] bert123, from that command prompt the command fixmbr will delete Grub [21:31] knut: head into gconf-editor [21:31] bert123: try Mixed_--_'s idea. I think a recovery of windows will do the trick. also, are you running a mixture of SATA and ATA at all? [21:31] !sudo [21:31] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [21:31] DieseL, you need to mark your windows partition as active, you can boot up using any boot-up windows cd, use fdisk and set your windows partition as the active partition [21:31] the bot has it right ,lol [21:32] knut: then into apps > panel, and look for object 0. [21:32] Tybear241083, just SATA... [21:32] where do I change titles on main menu in gnome? The titles are in one language and the choices are in one language [21:32] knut: then check Custom Icon, and specify your image. === nostferka^ is now known as nostferka [21:32] gadu-gadu [21:33] ubottu hi [21:33] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:33] thanks Mixed_--_ vocx node357 and Tybear241083 for input guys... [21:33] Mixed_--_ Tybear241083 node357 i think trying to write the windows boot loader over the top of grub is potentially problematic [21:33] just from past experience [21:33] I'm installing ubuntu on a xen server using xen-tools. how do I specify the server versus desktop ubuntu packages? [21:33] eitreach: i see no object 0 [21:34] eitreach: there is object 1,2,3 [21:34] bah anyway, i'm going to watch some tv, ciao [21:34] can anyone help me find a way to customize my mouse buttons? it doesn't even seem to support changing the scroll speed or the addition of a "back" button to the mouse right now. [21:34] Diesel, it's not problematic ive done it many times, sometimes it doesnt work because you have to set the windows partition the active partition, or unless you are experiencing hardware failure on your HD [21:34] knut: look for the one with the menu object [21:34] nbfjg [21:35] !mouse | Tanalark maybe this will help [21:35] Tanalark maybe this will help: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [21:35] knut: oh, and you'll need to add a main menu. not a menu line, but a main menu.. [21:35] knut: before it'll work. === Squawk is now known as Squawer === Squawer is now known as Squawk [21:36] diesel: well, if I were doing it and since it is a fresh ubuntu install I would do the recovery idea and just get windows to do it's thing. doesn't matter it ubuntu is taken out in the process. [21:36] eitreach: right now i still have the normal menu like after a fresh install [21:37] knut: find an empty spot on your panel, right-click and select add. There are two menus as standard - the apps / places / system-bar, and a single menu. [21:37] bert123: Mixed_--_: Diesel: I have work in the morning so I had best get to bed. good luck!! [21:37] knut: you'll want that single menu. [21:37] Anyone know how to update compiz to the latest version - not the latest ubuntu version though [21:37] knut: I'm not using an english version, and can't remember the exact name. [21:37] eitreach: done [21:38] There is a bug fix I need, but ubuntu packages aren't updated [21:38] If I already have Vista and Hardy, is it possible to create another partition for another distro? [21:38] knut: then after that, head into gconf-editor and look for the panel object with menu object. [21:38] SexyKen, compile from source, instructions are on the Compiz projects website [21:38] Hey i am getting this error "Please Close The Other Application e.g. Update Manager,Aptitude or Synaptic First,But i am only running one not two,is there a way i can fix this,i have tried restarting [21:38] SexyKen, additionaly you'll need to remove the ubuntu compiz packages first [21:38] bb all und gn8 [21:38] SexyKen, all software is frozen, you need to compile if you want the latest of everything.

[21:39] Hi [21:39] SexyKen, link this bug to the compiz changelog as well to indicate what this fixes. [21:39] I'm having trouble with mounting cifs and sshfs via fstab [21:39] has anyone done this before?

[21:40] i haven't installed emerald... i installed AWN, should it be the cause of my missing borders? [21:40] hi! [21:40] anyone plays america's army? [21:40] Genii:Thanks For Your Help [21:40] SexyKen, additionally, you can look into "apt-build" and have your apt manage your compiled comiz. [21:40] macd__ but since this is a Compiz bug, most probably it was already reported and fixed, I doubt such launchpad bug report would be necessary. [21:40] d_dyer: You're welcome [21:41] hi all, will a for loop of n loops on a quad 'some core' running Hardy run 4 times faster than a single 'some core' running on Hardy? Or do I need a special compiler on a quad core? [21:41] vocx, assumming its reported or fixed in ubuntu, not just upstream ;) [21:41] vocx, besides we all know how the bugsquad LOVES to triage 50 duplicates of the same bug [21:42] any ideas why i gotta run oo as root to be able to print? [21:42] macd__, yeah, that's what I mean, no need to report a bug of a very common program. [21:43] vocx, but what if its not reported at all [21:43] hello all, need a little help with iptables please [21:43] hadi57, you need a little more info than that, check the kernel messages, which kernel do they use, what's the version of the module "airo" they are using, what dependencies, etcetera. [21:44] in what file do I change content of main menu in gnome? [21:44] macd__, about Compiz?! Yeah, nobody likes Compiz anyway, who would notice? [21:44] embrik: you can right-click your menu and edit it that way. [21:44] How do i Find "broken Packages?" [21:44] embrik: or are you looking for the config file to edit manually? [21:44] vocx, hehehe, like compiz crasghed with sigsev bug that has around 600 dups and 50 pages of people whining? [21:45] eitreach, yes [21:45] how to find out that? [21:45] hi [21:45] embrik: one second. [21:45] macd__, exactly. [21:45] hi , how can i install a older version of svn with apt-get? [21:45] macd__, aren't those bugs reported automatically with some utility, what's it called? [21:45] what java codec should i get 'sudo apt-get install ' so i can play online poker [21:46] embrik: ~/.config/menus/ [21:46] anybody has experience with iptables in ubuntu? [21:46] embrik: gah.. I don't think it's the right one anyway. Pardon. [21:46] I'm trying to set up a web-only kiosk. I've used debian as the base, and I need a way to make the system reboot when X dies for a certain user (or when firefox dies for that user). I notice that ubuntu automatically reboots when you end your X session - can anyone explain how I can emulate this?

[21:49] eitreach, don't know - I have just installed - from a usb-stick - How do I add complete language support?

Since this may change between distributions. But usually in any linux system you should be able to get sources and tell what you have installed. [21:50] ompaul is there any way to bypass acpi while booting into a laptop [21:51] !bootoptions | solar_ read this one ;-) [21:51] solar_ read this one ;-): For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [21:51] eitreach, thanks a lot - I had been there but I thought everything was fine, because I saw my anguage as default language for new users. But language support wasn't installed [21:51] hi ! [21:51] how to install the wbar in ubuntu 8.04? [21:51] juak, you want to do multicasting .. now that is not something I would know how to do [21:51] embrik: np. hope it works after that.

[21:51] hadi57, for instance you can search around the /usr/share/ for kernel modules or stuff. Type "dmesg" in the terminal to view the kernel messages too. [21:52] solar_, that page took a lot of work :) [21:52] what means with the flashplugin-nonfree? [21:52] cause when using vim, the F1 is not available whihc is bad... [21:52] its not open source? [21:52] hadi57, hadi57 get the source, usually a bunch of C files and headers, and compile it on ubuntu. [21:52] nach_: System > Settings > Keyboard shortcuts [21:52] nach_: System->Preferemces->Keyboard Shortcuts [21:52] kri, you don't have the freedom to do what you want with it, you don't get the source, and it is costless [21:53] kri, exactly, it is not free software.

[21:55] Mixed_--_: in cups? [21:56] hadi57, it's not that hard to compile, but if you are just starting don't complicate yourself, if you think buying another card would solve your problem, then go for it. There are various options to get things done, but you need to read and investigate a little.

[22:47] Reason being, none exists for my printer model. [22:47] GodfatherofEire, good godfather! You do not create printer drivers, or any driver at all, in bash! [22:48] GodfatherofEire: Bash scripting probably isn't going to help you there. [22:48] maybe c [22:48] join /foresight [22:48] ugh [22:48] Any idea where I should start? [22:48] close [22:48] dang [22:49] does anyone know how i use the latest gparted to set mount points? I don't have the option? [22:49] Is it possible to get "Programs", "Places" and "System" menus to be in one menu, like in Microsoft Windows? [22:49] Sorry, i mean to say, My gparted booted into the live cd will not let me set mount points for some reason, do i have something not enabled that i need enabled to do this?... better way to ask the question [22:49] It does take so much space on my panel, so I need to have two panels instead of one. [22:50] GodfatherofEire, you need to get your facts straight first! What is a program? What does compiling mean? What's the difference between scripting and compiled languages? Try the ubuntuforums.org, the programming talk subforum, read the stickies. [22:50] gnome panels remember their position,right? [22:50] Babylykke: I can tell you it is possible, but I don't know how [22:50] Babylykke: yes, right click on the panel and add "Main Menu" [22:50] vocx, nah cannot do that, i was gonna try load balancing my network and the neighbours wireless network (got his permission) but i cannot change his SSID because then all his windoze comps need to be reconfigured [22:50] because the SSID changed [22:50] Babylykke, right click it, remove it, right click the panel > add to panel [22:50] Thanks vocx. [22:50] (btw windows actually DOES work with any spaces) [22:50] Babylykke, then add "Main Menu" [22:50] hmm.. you guys didn`t understand what I meant. [22:51] bla1, I don't know that it makes sense for gparted to set mount points from there.. to do that it would have to access your /etc/fstab on your linux install.. and if it's the standalone gparted livecd I'm not sure I'd expect it to do that [22:51] I want to make Programs, places and system to be in one menu, not 3. [22:51] hi, it is possible to run alpha vls under ubuntu becouse with wine don't work ? [22:51] bla1, unless you mean gparted on the ubuntu livecd [22:51] It does take 3 times more space than in windows. [22:51] Babylykke, thats exactly what we told you how to do [22:51] FatalError: yes that is what I am using [22:51] Babylykke: so go to right click edit menus [22:51] bla1, which? [22:51] Ward1983, all his windows computers? All 3 of them? [22:51] Babylykke: try it. there are two menus, one has 3 words, the other has just one little icon on the panel [22:51] waaa dont slip on ur tears babylykke [22:52] FatalError: I have resized and moved my ubuntu partition, making room for NTFS in front of it.. but I can't set /boot as a mount point for a 50 mb partition i made or set a /home partition mount point [22:52] The gparted on the ubuntu livecd [22:52] Some of you guys told me geforce 8400M GS was a bad card(for linux), so I just wonder if you think Nvidia will even try to make better drivers for it? [22:52] Babylykke, what you have now is "Menu Bar" . the "Main Menu" is a one button solution without text beside it. [22:52] its better like that dont you get it your not suing windows [22:52] bla1, ah ok. Hm. It's strange, ut you can always do this yourself later by changing /etc/fstab [22:52] *using [22:52] do dont expect windows [22:52] oh [22:52] *so [22:52] heret: If I add Main menu I get the same 3 menus I got allready. [22:52] vocx, i cannot take the chance that he cannot get on his own network because im testing something...... [22:52] FatalError: so just create the partitions now and do it later with fstab? [22:52] I don't want to buy a new laptop simply because this card sucks on ubuntu [22:53] vocx, it would just be rude and stupid [22:53] bla1, sure [22:53] Babylykke, i just did it to mine, i only get one button [22:53] * bla1 nods at FatalError [22:53] ur not using windows so dont expect windows be happy with gnomes seperation it [22:53] is good [22:53] FatalError: will do [22:53] ah.. found it. My fault. [22:53] FatalError: Thank you very much [22:53] LMAO ! [22:53] Thank you so much :D [22:53] bla1, now mind you ubuntu uses UUIDs usually, so it's a little different from your typical /etc/fstab, but entirely doable [22:54] any idea why my system would go 100% cpu for about 7 seconds every minute or so, in which time no programs respond, including when typing? [22:54] I've just installed Zend studio on Linux and I broken it and the trial period message stopped coming up even though registration info blank [22:54] Babylykke, no problem. enjoy [22:54] FatalError: will you be around for another hour possibly, because I may need you to help me with that ;D === Squawk_ is now known as Squawk [22:55] bla1, I'll be on and off -- someone else probably will know if I'm not, or if all else fails you can drop me a PM [22:55] emorris, maybe the video driver. It happens, it may be a bug. [22:55] FatalError: Ok, sounds good [22:55] how to force refresh of the network manager/nm applet interface configuration? The nic works; I get connection and can do everything I'd want, but the applet icon shows 'no connection' and in a few minutes of letting firefox idle it will go to 'offline' mode even though I'm pinging an external nic the whole time... ?? === sgallinger is now known as evilone [22:56] /etc/network/interfaces looks fine === evilone is now known as evilseazer === bla1 is now known as blak` [22:56] DHCP gets assigned just fine and DNS resolves OK [22:57] The only other wierd thing is when I go into net-tools and select eth0 'configure' it states the interface doesn't exist [22:57] vocx: I have top running in a terminal, and when it starts responding again, it shows 50% cpu on Xorg, so maybe it is. [22:57] almostautomated_, does it matter? If it works leave it that way, or you mean it doesn't work? [22:58] I'm guessing the MAC changed (it's a vm) and needs to be refreshed/reconfigured somehow [22:58] wow, tilda looks perfect, cheers [22:58] It works for a few minutes; then goes 'offline' and the applet doesn't show a connection at all [22:59] emorris, yes, I've seen it too. For some reason Xorg sometimes sucks a lot of resources. It has to do with the drivers and 3D acceleration. For instance I don't use 3D, and even gedit lags pretty bad sometimes. Don't use just "top", use "htop" [22:59] Have anyone ever try to boot a .iso file from hardisk with Grub? [22:59] how do I install suggested packages? (preferably set aptitude to always include suggested packages) [23:00] Is there a gnome way to remove the interface definition and add it back in? [23:00] kane77, perhaps "man aptitude" has the answer. [23:00] has anyone uses sphinx? [23:00] I have a Jazz HDV178 Video Camera i plugged it in and nothing happens. no lights on the camera come on no bleeps on the screen. do i need to enable something? or what? how do i get my videos of??

[23:02] * ircbuddy *cough* microsucks sucks *cough* [23:02] Howmuch % overhead does the ext3 filesystem normally has? thats to say, if I start with a 100GiB drive, howmany GiB will be left?

And technically I don't have an issue, just trying to chat about Sphinx in general.

[23:03] phoenixz, it's not a big overhead, I would say, you have 99 GiB. [23:03] Hello, i'm using cryptsetup with LUKS on a 300gb partition. I use the disk for instance to hold downloaded data through torrents. Does the cryptsetup/LUKS add alot of extra 'operations' to my hdd and should I expect the life time of the hdd to lower much compared to ordinary use?

I was told to use xwinwrap [23:21] compengi: are you using mysql root account [23:21] compengi: ? [23:21] hi, i have problems w/ ubuntu randomly freezing [23:22] rsc-: for example to connect to your home server on a internet-cafe [23:22] CaptainMorgan, i know that Ubuntu can do OpenVPN but why would I want to? [23:22] rsc-, look up vpn on google. In large part, it's extremely useful for employees to access their employer's internal network [23:22] what situation would call for an OpenVPN sollution? [23:22] visik7, yes [23:22] I can ssh to my desktop but I cant xdmcp or smb or nfs to it... ;( any good faqs on connectivity? [23:22] CaptainMorgan, I want to do that actually, but I'm not sure if my employer's network is set up for that [23:22] or is there no need for any extra setup on my office's network? [23:23] rsc-: you need a vpn host and client [23:23] rsc-, you'll need to contact your company's IT dept to find out [23:23] bender1337, check your RAM, change motherboards, change video card. Randomly freezing is extremely bad. [23:23] rsc-: lets say you want to access private data or have to use pw's for accounts, you could tunnel to your dedicated server [23:23] <_Nicola_> I brought my laptop with me to Brazil, and now when I try to update it is taking a prohibitively long time. could this be related to the sources being downloaded from US servers? [23:23] <_Nicola_> its a distro upgrade, btw [23:23] okay [23:24] hmm sounds unlikely, but you can try.. in software sources you can switch to a different country/server [23:24] I am looking for something with more flexibility than xwinwrap, I want to not only have a rendered animation, I want it to have a certain level of interactivity. Such as speech recognition. [23:24] last time i encountered someone with random freezing, he had overclocked his cpu and was reluctant to tell us, we went through building a new kernel with different options several times before we worked it outta him. the overclock was the problem even though he claimed he was an oc'ing "expert" [23:24] people are idiots [23:24] _Nicola_, yes sure. Maybe you could use the brazilian servers [23:24] _Nicola_, what does speedtest.net say? Does it give you the same download speed from the recommended server as Synaptic does? [23:24] Is there a way to chkdsk a NTFS partition from ubuntu? [23:24] rsc-, for example - my IT Dept gave me a scrambler, that mixes employee information with the network, providing a pin I can use to login to the network. They can also provide vpn setting information...depending on the network [23:25] here|c: lol ouch [23:25] justin___, sorry, but there's none at the moment [23:25] heret|c, that's a great story!

In terms of gui based programming, you will need to do some research into GTK [23:27] justin___, then no, use hirens boot cd [23:27] wow, do not even try to do a chkdsk over wine unless you want disaster to happen :P [23:27] rsc-, lol no joke [23:27] R_AG, you don't NEED a "GUI compiler", you just don't know any better, and you think that way. Learn to use the tools in Linux, don't try to do everything exactly as in Windows. [23:27] justin___, why do you want to perform a chkdsk anywy?

[23:39] keneda: well afaik that is the way to do it.. just follow the guide... ask if you need help... check forums etc [23:40] rsc-: I've been using /etc/init.d/networking restart as well as force-reload(when troubleshooting) [23:40] i guess ... read first ... right [23:40] before typing ?;-) [23:40] hehehe [23:40] Nallep: sudo cp -r [23:40] visik7, i can't set mysql as a user in mysqldump. becauase i need to login [23:40] the directory [23:40] the directory [23:40] chown mysql:mysql /path/to/backup [23:41] DasEi1: that doesn't preserve the extended file attributes [23:41] Anyone know why my firefox just randomly closes?

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [23:42] blak`, you cannot be 100% certain that moving filesystems won't damage your files, there is a risk always, like everything else [23:42] rsc-: bummer hopefully someone else might jump in [23:42] keneda: huh?! [23:42] visik7, i did that right now. should i try again the mysqldump command with root user to login? [23:42] almostautomated_, networkmanager will on recognize network conenctions that you configure with it. if you configured your network interfaces manually (/etc/network), networkmanager will not recognize those [23:42] almostautomated_, if networkmanager isn't useful to you, you can just remove it [23:43] compengi: yes === dingledangle is now known as stickdick [23:43] visik7, same error [23:43] is there a way to automount a "W95 Ext'd (LBA)" partition on boot?

[23:46] almostautomated_, I get the same problem when I use wvdial (to connect using my cellphone) or iwconfig :) [23:46] rsc-: and how do you resolve it, when that happens? [23:46] blak`, yes [23:46] i have a microsoft mouse, and i would like have it (1) when i click left & right buttons at same time it pastes stuff in the register (2) when i click the middle button it pastes the register. currently neither works. microsfot wireless mouse [23:46] it may be another version, but will do the same [23:46] basti: why would i not be able to create anything but primary partitions with it? [23:47] blak`, yes, basically. It's possible that some version of gparted wasn't compiled with support for a specific filesystem though. But in general they should be the same. [23:47] almostautomated_, I just set Firefox to not work offline (file -> uncheck "work offline"), unfortunately [23:47] visik7, i have no idea what could be the problem in then =/ [23:47] vocx: i dont' get why it wont let me create an extended partition though, it is greyed out, only will let me make 4 primary ones [23:47] almostautomated_, at one point in time I just removed NetworkManager completely and it eliminated that problem (though of course I didn't have NM) [23:48] rsc-: Yeah; that is the repeated action that led to my frustration, and hence the question in this channel :P [23:48] blak`, you can create 3 primary partitions, the 4th one is an extended one, within which you can create logical drives, you can't do that? [23:48] rsc-: did you happen to reinstall after uninstalling? [23:48] vocx: well right now i have extended with ubuntu on it, and the swap file... i have create a ntfs primary at the beginning of the drive and i wanted to create a /boot and /home partition [23:48] almostautomated_, hehe, I share your grief. I haven't found a cure for it aside from removing NM entirely. Ive checked the forums too [23:49] does anyone know how to create a new key ring from scratch? [23:49] vocx: It will not let me make another extended partition for /boot or /home [23:49] compengi: run mysqldump with sudo === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela [23:49] Memo_: I hadn't heard of that bug; does it sound like what is being described here? [23:50] blak`, you can only create 1 extended partition, this one is the one that can be devided in logical drives, so naturally the extended partition should be created at last and occupying all remaining space. [23:50] rsc-: At least I know now that I'm not the only one... don't know if I should be happy or sad about that though ;) [23:50] quit [23:50] visik7, same =/ [23:50] vocx: oh, i didn't know i could only have one [23:50] almostautomated_, ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587907 [23:50] anyone here using a Mac? === Romsters_Ass_Cun is now known as stickboy [23:51] !ot [23:51] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:51] compengi: on /tmp ? [23:51] vocx: so i would have to take this 6 gigs of unallocated space and put it back on to the beginning of my extended partition to put /boot and /home in front of the / (ubuntu) install [23:51] almostautomated_, I wasn't following the whole problem.. [23:51] almostautomated_: "The solution is, either make sure nm-applet (the network manager applet) is running and knows you're connected, or uninstall network manager. The problem occurs somehow when applications like Pidgin, Epiphany etc. tries to check with the network manager if you're connected to internet, but nm-applet isn't running/doesn't know you're connected and therefore they're told you don't have an internet connection." [23:51] Where is the true location of my trash again? [23:51] almostautomated_, NetworkManager 0.7 as included in Ubuntu 8.10 Beta is not compatible with static network configuration in /etc/network/interfaces. New installations are not affected by this issue because NetworkManager will manage all interfaces by default. Users upgrading from previous Ubuntu releases can work around this issue by disabling NetworkManager at startup. [23:51] anyone using QuickStart on a powerpc? [23:51] Okay, here we go, I am having a problem with my ubuntu sound. I know that when you are using java that it tends to steal your sound, meaning that only java sound will work and no other sound will work. Well this has happened to me, except in a worse way. On boot my sound does not work except for java. Meaning that even after restarts and such, only sound in java will work while no other sound will work whatsoever, no java program [23:51] s are running. Any ideas for a fix. I have already tried using ALSA to no avail. Using Edgy [23:52] i have a windoze box that is giving me the BSOD!! i have heard that i can use ubuntu to access all of my files that are on that computer. i was wondering if anyone has done this or if anyone knows where to find step by step instructions to do this.

Why do you want /boot anyway. [23:52] MrKlean: How about PulseAudio? [23:52] Guess what I do? [23:52] almostautomated_, http://ca.rroll.net/2008/09/28/firefox-3-work-offline-work-around-on-ubuntu [23:52] visik7, yes [23:52] until then we only have these workarounds [23:52] TRIGG3R: you can mount ntfs and backup the data. you should have a backup anyway [23:52] vocx: for dual booting it was recommended to make /boot [23:52] !mount | TRIGG3R [23:52] TRIGG3R: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [23:52] (haven't tried that one in the URL above btw) [23:53] visik7, mysqldump: Got error: 1: Can't create/write to file '/media/disk/backup/tmp/nucleus_actionlog.txt' (Errcode: 13) when executing 'SELECT INTO OUTFILE' [23:53] Ubuntu broke my CD-ROM drive!!!

[23:56] C:/root O.o [23:56] blak`: sure is [23:56] or does it have to be logical under the /root extended one? [23:56] Troll: on with wubi [23:56] I need Linux on the same partition as Windows. So C: [23:56] blak`: you can have only a few prim partitions, home can be one of them [23:57] excellent, thank you all. [23:57] blak`, it all depends on your needs. /home is useful for most people because they want to keep their stuff, /boot may have been useful years ago for different setups and stuff. Difference between primary or extenden partitions is not important really, to linux anyway, it's just allocated space. [23:57] LjL: thanks i think i have it figured out! [23:57] * blak` nods [23:57] I've seen you can get games for "linux". what do they do about installing? have a deb and rpm option?

Where having a 2000 MB drive was considered a huge amount of space, suitable for partitioning. [23:58] Agrajag: how would it work what with "linux" meaning not much from an application level? [23:59] KenBW2: if they install to /opt or /usr/local, though, that shouldn't cause *too* much hassle with your system files [23:59] blak`: but you cannot have more than 4 prims, extended is one of those four [23:59] ok, found it, shift + pgup [23:59] hm, just upgraded to intrepid and now X cant see any input from the mouse or keyboard, it just sits there, any ideas? [23:59] vocx http://pastebin.com/d6393fee8 gid 1001 is a user group named ntfs.. i added my user to it.. it still doesn't give me access [23:59] It's not too bad, you can just install it to /opt/games or something and just remove that directory and the settings in ~ [23:59] Thqanks!!!! [23:59] KenBW2: they're usually statically-linked binaries so they run on pretty much anything with the right hardware
