[00:02] haha :D [00:02] Oi [00:02] lolman: I'm not sure you can enlarge it to double the size. The closest thing I can think of is trying to set paper size to A3. [00:02] basti, man ls [00:02] lengau is he here ? [00:02] basti, i wanna know the same thing, in dos it's dir *. but i don't think you can ls *.

Now when I load up it takes ages to get to the log in screen and takes ages for applications to start [00:03] br/pt [00:03] basti: find will do that for you. [00:03] anyone got any ideas?

[00:03] its noce [00:03] and way more refined? [00:03] nice [00:03] why is it nice?

[00:04] haroot: I use Ubuntu because I like it. I've never tried Debian so I wouldn't know if it's more refined. [00:04] its legit [00:04] do you guys smoke? [00:04] ubuntu isnt legit? [00:04] i'm gonna smoke [00:04] forget computers [00:04] i rather smoke [00:04] tem alguem qe fala portugues aki [00:04] ok [00:04] haroot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:05] lol [00:05] eneias: get the hell into one of the above mentioned channels, or where's the problem? [00:05] werd [00:05] I have changed some of my hardware (mouse, monitor) on my Ubuntu 7.10 box. Now when I load up it takes ages to get to the log in screen and takes ages for applications to start [00:05] basti: just do ls -l | grep '^d' [00:05] clayg, find . -type d -maxdepth 1 [00:05] clayg, basti: Would ls -d be what you're looking for? [00:05] anyone here use Nvidia CUDA beta drivers? [00:05] what's CUDA? [00:06] no bobertdos [00:06] funkydruid: Changing the mouse and the monitor shouldn't do that tbh. Unless you went from ps/2 to usb, but that shouldn't matter either tbh. [00:06] I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to remount my second hard drive. [00:06] Guest52091: man mount [00:06] heh [00:06] what else linux dist do u guys use? [00:07] Guest52091: Usually you would need: sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /path/to/mountpoint [00:07] Guest52091: also look up man fstab [00:07] xiamx: I use gentoo on my server. === blueeagle is now known as BlueEagle [00:07] xiamx, im also a freebsd fan but thats for server not desktop tried it as a desktop for awhile A LOT of work [00:08] blueeagle: I tried to install gentoo so many times lol. but i just give up somewhere, too complicated [00:08] xiamx: It's not complicated, just tedious. [00:08] DigitalFiz: i'm running ubuntu as a server [00:09] xiamx: Well if you can't (read: won't) read the manual it might be complicated. [00:09] that sort of defines linux [00:10] when I plug in my usb stick, ubuntu does not do anything, any help? [00:10] BlueEagle: agreed.. and more than 5 hours installation is insane.. [00:10] The light turns on, btw [00:11] xiamx: But you do learn a thing or two along the way. [00:11] Chris_Foster, youhave any other usb device to plugin to see if its working? ive been having problems with usb messing up after time [00:11] DigitalFiz: Yep, I'll try my Palm pad. One sec === wolf_ is now known as awolf [00:12] Chris_Foster: and this is the first time you've tried plugging in the flash drive? [00:12] bobertdos: no, its worked before [00:12] Chris_Foster: I had a problem like that with a SD card. Was a problem with the tifm_sd driver used, ended up having to modprobe and disable DMA [00:12] just a random idea [00:12] Chris_Foster: Did you ever unplug it without unmounting it? [00:12] kfour: I'll remeber that, if nothing else works. Thanks [00:12] Ubuntu 8.04 is mounting a new internal SATA drive through HAL even though it's in fstab [00:13] bobertdos: no, I always make sure to unmount [00:13] bobertdos: im pretty sure, anyways [00:13] BlueEagle: yea lol, first rule, get used to the infinitive complies [00:13] xiamx: They are not infinite. [00:13] Chris_Foster: Does lsusb and/or fdisk recognize it? [00:13] xiamx: Well, they will be if you want to compile QT and glibc. :) [00:14] bobertdos: im unfamiliar with what your talking about, could you please give insructions? [00:14] I have a server (open to the outside world) and a desktop (not open to the outside world) on the same LAN. On the desktop I have a django testserver running (port 8000). Is there a way to access the testserver all while restricting its access to myself? I need to work on it from school. What I would do is create a tunnel from the school comp to my server, and then one from my server to my desktop... however, I'm not permitted to open ports on ... [00:14] BlueEagle: ofcourse, sort of exaggeration [00:14] ... school computers. Any ideas? [00:15] I have a friend who deleted his menu bar at the top of the gnome desktop, and I helped him recreated it, however it no longer shows when he needs updates. Does anybody know what to add to the bar to get that back? [00:15] bobertdos: and no my palm seems to not be working with kpilot, I just finished trying it [00:16] In the terminal, you can type lsusb to see if it recognizes that the stick is plugged in. Also in the terminal, sudo fdisk -l will give you a list of partitions, which ought to include your flash drive if it's recognized. [00:16] Yes, fdisk -l recongizes it [00:16] ryanakca: I may be off here, but you can password protect any folder in apache by ways of .htaccess [00:16] BlueEagle: For you, does QT run faster with source complied than precomplied parkage? [00:17] bobertdos: Yes fdisk -l recognizes it [00:17] xiamx: No, but it does give me debug symbols which are helpful when developing. [00:17] bobertdos: I could try to mount it, one sec [00:17] any one know where can i found Linux programming doc pls? [00:17] is there a command that prints out my horizontal and vertical sync rates?? [00:17] R_AG: Which language are you programming? [00:18] R_AG: bash? c++? c#? php? [00:18] BlueEagle: linux, duh [00:18] or java ? [00:18] jasuus: linux is not a language. [00:18] C\C++,java... [00:18] you missed my sarcasm [00:18] i'm from windows (new at linux [00:18] ] [00:18] jasuus: No kidding. ;) [00:18] BlueEagle: what programming language do you use? [00:18] BlueEagle: Django uses it's own test server to make developping easy (as in, you don't need to set up & configure apache / mod_python / etc for each computer you want to develop on) === kyo is now known as [[RawR]] [00:19] xiamx: C++. [00:19] ryanakca: Ahh, so I'm off then. Well I don't know about that, sorry. [00:19] bobertdos: Yep, I just had to make a dir to mount to and mount it, then it worked. Is there any way to get this to happen automatically? [00:19] R_AG--> webased app? or just app? [00:19] just app [00:20] R_AG: Are you looking for a graphical front end? [00:20] R_AG java based? [00:20] R_AG: If so you'll need to read up on GTK+ or QT. [00:20] bobertdos: Plus, mounting it this way causes dolphin file browser (kde) to not reconize the media [00:20] Chris_Foster: Yeah, you can add an entry for the drive to fstab (which is odd, because normally you don't have to do that for flash drives, but oh well). [00:20] java & c\c++ ........ [00:20] R_AG: If you're not then C++ in linux is the same (mostly) as C++ in windows. [00:20] BlueEagle: thanks anyways [00:20] i only program in Haskell [00:20] bobertdos: I've heard of this, but were is fstab? [00:21] jasuus: cobol 4tw? [00:21] R_AG same place where you get your windows app documentations then [00:21] * jasuus nods [00:21] Chris_Foster: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [00:21] bobertdos: Thanks a bunch for your help [00:22] what is the equivalent of windows framework in linux i dont want to use windows again [00:22] R_AG what does that even mean? [00:22] R_AG: For graphical widgets and such look up gtk+, glade and qt [00:22] R_AG: define 'windows framework' [00:23] R_AG: Which development environment did you use in windows? [00:23] * BlueEagle waits for VS [00:23] its preinstalled command from microsoft for Visual Studio developper [00:23] and it's a bulls eye. [00:23] R_AG: Try looking up monodevelop [00:24] what is monodevelop? [00:24] BlueEagle nice...very nice [00:25] R_AG: Mono is a compatibility layer for running .net applications. Monodevelop is (you guessed it) a development environment for creating .net/mono applications in linux. [00:25] oh ok [00:25] BLueEagle: oh good to know :) [00:25] jasuus: is it a layer or an implimentation btw? [00:25] I can't change window managers with Compiz Fusion [00:26] I right click and it doesn't give any options [00:26] !compiz [00:26] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [00:27] is linux truetime system? [00:27] RaceDrv709: That might help. [00:27] R_AG: truetime? [00:27] im having trouble with ubuntu hardy changing the names of my drives each time i boot.. ie sdc = sdb back and forth [00:27] Ebeeded system [00:27] BlueEagle never used it [00:28] INTERnet [00:28] jasuus: Oh, ok. I dabbled some with it. Seemed like a nice idea for cross platform development but .net and mono are not quite there yet. [00:28] throat flem [00:28] after installing a program in linux when i can found his setup folder (dont use synaptic) [00:29] anyone?? [00:29] Hey guys im new to Linux and i cant get it recognize my usb drives [00:29] does anyone know how i can trouble shoot this === ward_ is now known as Ward1983 [00:29] R_AG: usually you don't need to know the folder. Most applications are availible in the menu. Most executables go in /usr/bin and most configuration files goes in /etc and most documentation goes in /usr/share/doc [00:30] R_AG: However, if you get binary tar balls then you will find the files in a subdirectory where you extracted them. === Sl4y3r is now known as Sl4y31 [00:31] R_AG: One of the main differences between windows and linux is that you don't have to hunt for installation files around the net as most of them are availible in repositories. [00:31] BlueEagle I have to admit my first response was ugh, yet another ide [00:31] i need help [00:31] reck3d: the doctor is in. [00:31] jasuus: Well, in time it will probably mature into something decent. [00:31] yep [00:31] i have open suse 11.0 and my firefox just wont open anymore [00:31] im trying to figure out how to use tv out and i need someone to answer a few questions === Charitwo|Away is now known as Charitwo === Guard is now known as RHorse [00:32] jasuus: And having to set up forms, windows, signals and slots manually is really tedious and monodevelop does that pretty well. [00:32] Sl4y31, a lot will depens on your exact video card. [00:32] when ubuntu 8.10 stable is available? [00:32] !ask | Sl4y31 [00:32] Sl4y31: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:33] R_AG, due out at end of month. [00:33] and what is his innovation [00:33] Dr_willis im using a nvidia geforce fx 5500 [00:33] yes i know this is a ubuntu channel and i have used ubuntu but i wanted to try other distros hence why im trying open suse [00:33] Dr_willis can i im you? [00:34] reck3d: You might also want to have a look at arch linux. [00:34] BlueEagle, dunno what u talking about =\ [00:34] reck3d: /j #suse [00:34] Sl4y31, i install the nvidia drivers, and the nvidia-settings tool and enable twinview, and either clone, or streatch my desktop to include the tv out. on my Nvidia systems.. Note that after enabling the 2nd monitor with 'sudo nvidia-settings' you MUST restart X to get all apps to notice the change. otherwise some apps may act a little weird. [00:34] Sl4y31, that sums it all up on what i do. :) im cooking supper.. so i gotta go check the cornbread. [00:34] reck3d: google for arch linux. It's not a bad shot at a linux distro. You might enjoy it. [00:35] hey [00:35] ok well ive tried installing the nvidia drivers [00:35] off there site [00:35] who can i, when logged in a shell, and edited inputrc reload the configuraion without having to log out/in? [00:35] Having a slight issue with ralink wireless drivers. [00:35] thank you for information [00:35] szal, THX [00:35] Anyone got any initial pointers for me to reference? [00:35] it told me to download 177.80 build for linux [00:36] Hello my m8 has problems with installing 8600GT on ubuntu [00:36] so i did, tryied to install, and it told me to download another build [00:36] BlueEagle, thanks for trying to help... too bad you didn't get a thank you [00:36] !wireless | Orbixx [00:36] Orbixx: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:36] node357: No worries. :) [00:36] which i did, then it told me to download another build, which i did === peterw is now known as quasiyodel [00:36] again it doesnt work [00:36] Hi. How uh heavy is KDE 4? [00:36] and the restricted drivers work fine [00:37] except when i try to use displayconfig-gtk [00:37] then it alters my xorg and its just a never ending circle [00:37] whileimhere: how do you mean? [00:37] Last question all Linux distribution is free what a company wins after developing it? [00:37] R_AG: the support companies.. [00:37] whileimhere: In my opinion it's mamuthical. I installed it, tried it and to me it seemed incomplete. [00:38] i want to set up my home server as an open proxy, but mod_proxy doesn't seem to be in the repos. where is it exactly ? [00:38] I have a Western Digital Ext HDD and Ubuntu wont recognize it when its plugged into the USB Port can anyone help? [00:38] Scunizi I use GNOME right now but I must admit I use Digikam and Scribus a lot more than normal. The other programs are GIMP and Inkscape and Firefox so I was wondering if GNOMe would be faster or slower on my hardware. [00:39] can anybody help me get widescreen support from ubuntu 8.04? I thought it would be a fix by now? :-( [00:39] ReyRey: what kind of video card? [00:39] PS Im sorry i stepped away for a sec and i didnt see any responses for me [00:39] how can i find out what is using alsa on my machine so i can stop it? [00:39] anyone in here good at programming drivers? [00:39] whileimhere: you'll find that gnome is more stable right now.. as for speed.. those apps won't find an increase on KDE. [00:39] nvidia [00:40] i [00:40] kde3 works fine, too ^^ [00:40] ReyRey: do you have the driver installed? [00:40] if you want speed go XFCE or fluxbox? [00:40] Ahh okay that is what I was wondering. I have thousands of photos and videos from my travels and I hate F-Spot. So I am stuck with Digikam. [00:40] tonsofpcs: you got something that isn't playing audio? [00:40] im having trouble with ubuntu hardy changing the names of my drives each time i boot.. ie sdc = sdb back and forth [00:40] whileimhere: There's no shame in running qt-apps in gnome if you've got room for the extra libraries. [00:41] i went ahead and loaded 8.10 and it came with a driver for nvida with options but i still dont' see it [00:41] im haveing problems getting a driver to work and it was fixed by someone on the forum to work but he didnt tell how he did it [00:41] on how to set from standard to widescreen [00:41] whileimhere: you using Digikam as a photo manager? what does Fspot lack that digikam has? [00:41] BlueEagle I just figured it might be faster. [00:41] ReyRey: i would apt-get install nvidia-settings and use that to set it up. === R_AG is now known as Bineagle [00:41] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=940944 is my attemps. if anyone could help with this it would be greatly appreciated [00:41] is there a way to convert a putty key to an openssh key on linux? All the howtos seem to be for windoze! [00:42] Scunizi - yea... [00:42] trying to launch jack [00:42] when installing ubuntu, do I use hda1 or hda5? [00:42] i am running 8.04 and I have a SD card reader but Ubuntu won't auto detect and I have to manually mount it... Once manually mounted it won't let me wwrite to the card is there something i need to add to my line? [00:42] F-Spot has this thing where it wants to control my directories and I dont like that I like to organize my photos how I like. that is one thing. [00:42] someone save me ... my homework is killing me lol [00:42] tonsofpcs: it might be pulseaudio.. try "killall pulseaudio" and see if that works. [00:43] whileimhere: Well, when KDE is loaded the qt libraries are also loaded so you would see a faster load time on digikam the first time you start it. After that however you won't notice much difference unless you're short on ram and having both gtk and qt apps running. Keep in mind tho that firefox uses gtk and you will have both libraries running in kde too so the memory foot print will probably not be any smaller. [00:43] whileimhere: yea I noticed that .. then later found the key to making it stop.. [00:43] Hey my friend CJMCKEE is having a problem getting usb devices to work on his laptop. When he plugs in a usb drive and we watch /var/log/messages we are getting an I/O error in there. Anyone have any experience with this or any ideas? [00:43] When creating a tunnel with SSH, is it possible to restrict access to the localport that it opens to localhost without having to resort to a firewall? [00:43] is there a different compistion manager I can use instead of compiz? compiz keeps freezing up and I have to hard reboot my computer. I'm getting really pissed off at compiz [00:43] I want to mount and write to an SD card on Ubuntu 8.04 [00:43] orion1: If you could tell us the exact error that would most likely help. [00:43] Ahhh I see BlueEagle that does make some sense. [00:44] when installing Linux, do I use hda1 or hda5? hda1 starts at 1 and ends at 9688 and hda5 starts at 11627 and ends at 13564 [00:44] hello [00:44] I'd like to keep using AWN so I need some sort of composition manager still [00:44] hello [00:44] i need help someone changed my email password and i cant log in [00:44] PoisonArrow: you decide.. depends on what existing data you have on there [00:44] can someone plz help me [00:44] PoisonArrow: do you have another OS on the drive? [00:44] There are some programs that are QT that I need and there is no version in GTK for such as LPROF for color profiles. [00:44] that was it, thanks Scunizi :D [00:44] whileimhere: If you find it running too slow in Gnome you could try xfce or even fluxbox but the latter requires alot of setup. Atleast it did when I tried it last. [00:44] tonsofpcs: np :) [00:44] hey is there a Ubuntu linux alternative for LANTastic? [00:45] BlueEagle: h/o one sec. [00:45] where is mod proxy in the ubuntu repos ? [00:45] szal, Scunizi no, I just created the partition and created hda1 hda2 which is the swap and hda5. I am install LFS on it [00:45] I want to mount and write to an SD card on Ubuntu 8.04 [00:45] BlueEagle I liked XFCE but FLUXBOX takes to much work or me. [00:45] szal, Scunizi Im trying to figure out what one is read first on boot up when i am done [00:46] PoisonArrow: aaahhh. that won't make a difference.. the MBR or grub will be where it is suppose to be. Unless you are actually trying to define a seperate partition for boot.. [00:46] Are there options to both mount and write to an SD card on Ubuntu 8.04? [00:46] PoisonArrow: if you want to use Linux as your daily system it is adviseable to have a separate partition for /home, so you'd need 2 partitions to install to.. which of these you want to use for / and which for /home doesn't matter as long as the GRUB bootloader can see the / partition on boot [00:46] !info libapache2-mod-proxy-html | babo [00:46] babo: libapache2-mod-proxy-html (source: mod-proxy-html): Apache2 filter module for HTML links rewriting.

Version 3.0.0-1 (hardy), package size 25 kB, installed size 140 kB [00:46] RomanaMentalis: I thought lantastic was obsolete. :/ [00:47] szal, Scunizi Ah I see thank you for the information :) [00:47] how can i check which user is owner of a specific /path/ [00:47] PoisonArrow: not sure what LFS is unless it's like LVM.. but 3 partitions is good on install.. one for root "/" one for swap /swap and /home [00:47] BlueEagle: We're still using it :) [00:47] Scunizi, its Linux From Scratch [00:47] bimberi, that's for html links rewriting ... is that the same as full http proxy ? [00:47] BlueEagle: Do you have a better suggestion? Preferably a linux solution? [00:47] techsupport: ls -l /path/to/|grep directory [00:47] techsupport: ls -ld /path [00:48] PoisonArrow: Personally I set mine up as root having between 8-12 gigs, swap with 1 gig and the rest /home for my data [00:48] Scunizi, hda1 is the larger of the two, so that should be the root directory where everything is installed right? and hda5 will be the home directory [00:48] RomanaMentalis: Well, I never used lantastic myself, but for sharing stuff in linux you've got nfs for files and cups for printers. [00:48] PoisonArrow: nope.. you want the larger one for /home [00:48] babo: not sure sorry, just going by the package name :) [00:48] Scunizi: LFS == Linux From Scratch == sort of a build kit for your own Linux system all from official source code [00:48] Scunizi, oh, Im installing it on Virtualbox which is expandable [00:49] Scunizi, really? ok, so hda5 will be all the core packages then? [00:49] szal: ah.. interesting.. never heard of it.. sound like quite an adventure. [00:49] google it & see for yourself [00:49] PoisonArrow: which ever way you want to do it. [00:49] szal, you ever done LFS? [00:49] no [00:49] Scunizi, lol what would you do? [00:49] can anyone direct me to a good resource for making my ubuntu install make itself into a ramdisk at bootup? ie I want to boot from media, read it into a ramdisk, and perform all further read/writes on the ramdisk instead [00:49] szal, oh [00:49] Scunizi: If you don't want the complete adventure gentoo is a lighter alternative. [00:50] PoisonArrow: just as I mentioned above.. the hdx numbers don't really matter [00:50] Anyone know why "Global Menu Applet" is not an option in my list to add when I right-click the gnome panel and choose "Add to Panel"? [00:50] Scunizi, ok, Ill just pick one :) [00:50] I am having a problem with users not being able to write to a removable drive [00:50] BlueEagle thank you :) [00:50] BlueEagle: and gentoo is the one that you compile programs on the fly while installing? [00:50] Scunizi, is it becuase its all the same partition? [00:50] RomanaMentalis: You're welcome. [00:50] n/m, gonna try logout/login [00:51] question if i want to change owner with 'chown user:group /path/ , how would i specify group if it contains a space, for example domain users [00:51] PoisonArrow: no.. in vm you're still partitioning the space allocated for the vm.. it's just that you really only need a small space for swap and slightly larger for root and the rest for home.. [00:51] Can anyone tell me how to update my fstab? [00:51] Scunizi: It is. In most cases you don't notice any difference in the end result apart from a placebo effect, but you do learn a few things along the way,. [00:52] hello [00:52] PoisonArrow: fstab is a plain text file. Open it in an editor (with root privileges) and just add entries to it. [00:52] BlueEagle: that's what I've heard.. maybe another time when I actually have time to play [00:52] BlueEagle, ok thanks :) [00:53] PoisonArrow: also see: man fstab [00:53] PoisonArrow: and: man mount [00:54] BlueEagle, ^^ [00:54] who can i, when logged in a shell, and edited inputrc reload the configuraion without having to log out/in? [00:56] basti: I haven't seen an equivalent to env-update that would allow for that. [00:57] will try that. thx [00:57] source the file? 'source inputrc'? [00:57] basti: as far as I know that file is cached and I'm not sure if env-update re-loads that file in any case. [00:59] is there any way to modify the main menubar from a text file? something like editing fluxbox right-click menu... [01:01] where would i start if I wanted to get my emu usb soundcard working in ubuntu? [01:02] thomc: usually google. :) [01:02] Im having a slight problem with transmission bit torrent's Clutch "The Transmission daemon does not appear to be running." I cant seem to make it start. [01:02] thomc: When you plug it in, what is it identified as in lsusb? [01:03] BlueEagle: ID 041e:3f04 Creative Technology, Ltd [01:03] help. i'm not being able to login as local user after looking at instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto [01:03] thomc: Oh, it's a creative thingy? [01:03] is there any way to modify the main menubar from a text file? something like editing fluxbox right-click menu... [01:04] BlueEagle: Creative EMU 0404 USB [01:04] i modifired /etc/pam.d/common-auth http://pastebin.com/m61bb4521 , what can i do to change it back, i didnt backup [01:04] thomc: Sorry but you'll have to look to someone other than me for help on that. [01:04] BlueEagle: Ok - thanks anyway. [01:04] techsupport: Well you now know why you should back up files before editing them. ;) [01:05] techsupport: Did you modify and save it more than once? [01:05] BlueEagle, cant recall [01:05] techsupport: Most editors do create a backup of the modified file and append a tilde (~) at the end. [01:05] techsupport: Try seeing if the editor you used did that and if the backup is useful. [01:05] I am having a problem with users not being able to write to a removable drive [01:06] renegade420: Which file system is on the drive? [01:06] BlueEagle, used nano, not sure how to check if it made a backup [01:06] techsupport: ls /etc/pam.d/common-auth~ [01:07] BlueEagle, no such file or directory [01:07] techsupport: Then it didn't create a backup. [01:07] Hello. How can i close all unused incoming ports on my computer? [01:07] anyone here know how i can make the transmission-daemon work on bootup? [01:07] BlueEagle, can you pastebin your /etc/pam.d/common-aut for me, if its in it's original form [01:07] the clutch init.d script isnt exactly working [01:07] jdwilm: well if they are unused why bother since they are already "blocked [01:08] kitche: blocked? [01:08] But it works just fine in my virtualmachine during testing but when i install it to my physical server it doesent seem to start the transmission-daemon [01:08] BlueEagle, its not that II can't mount it. I just can't write to it. [01:08] jdwilm: well if nothing is running on ports it's already blocked for incoming since nothing is listening [01:09] techsupport: did you try: dpkg --configure pam [01:09] ? [01:09] kitche: is it the same for outgoing ports then? [01:09] renegade420: Yes, but we like to know the filesystem so we can tailor the solution to the problem appropirately. [01:09] bluedusk, no, but i dont want to change anything else just that file [01:09] jdwilm: yes if nothing is using outgoing or incoming ports then the port is inactive [01:10] How do I upgrade from firefox 3b5? surprisingly, google isn't much help... [01:10] Authenticat: requisitepam_unix.so nullok_secure [01:10] auth optional pam_smbpass.so migrate missingok [01:10] Do I just have to install it from the site? I was hoping for a package... [01:10] zachb: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ? [01:10] zachb: 3 I believe should be in the repos [01:10] can some tell me how to create a shortcut/link or whatever its called in linux everytime I try the link doesnt work [01:11] zachb: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [01:11] what? [01:11] techsupport: Those are the two non-comented lines in it. [01:11] zachb: since there was many security updates for firefox [01:11] techsupport: The inverted I-s are tabs me thinks [01:11] Is there a way to make the edge of the screen sensitive to the cursor so that I can switch between desktops by moving my cursor all the way to the left or right? [01:11] kitche: thanks! [01:11] zachb: I don't think 3.0.1 and newer is available on some ubuntu (not backported to gutsy for instance) [01:12] bobertdos & kitche: not working for me, it still says its firefox 3 beta 5. I've been using this machine since gutsy came out but never bothered fixing fx since I don't really use it... [01:12] (so it shouldn't be an upgrade thing) [01:12] BlueEagle, .. ??? [01:12] zachb: are you on hardy? [01:12] zachb: Are you on Hardy now then? [01:12] file type is vfat [01:12] Oops, sorry, excuse me ;-) [01:12] techsupport: You'll need to be more spesific. [01:12] hello all [01:13] !hi | etyrnal [01:13] etyrnal: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:13] BlueEagle, i just need the original contents of /etc/pam.d/common-auth , can you provide me with that please sir ? [01:13] renegade420: Is there an entry in fstab for it or have you mounted it manually? [01:13] Dark_Sage: hi [01:13] techsupport: I already pasted the two non-commented lines in that file. [01:13] whileimhere: Yeah compiz can do that [01:14] hi [01:14] techsupport: Authenticat requisitepam_unix.so nullok_secure [01:14] mount command [01:14] is there a way to set a different wallpaper to each space? [01:14] techsupport: Authenticat optionalpam_smbpass.so migrate missingok [01:14] I do not have compiz my video card is integrated and only 128 megs so I dont want much overhead === blueeagle is now known as BlueEagle [01:15] renegade420: It's probable that it didn't get mounted with write permissions. [01:15] Another question here: When i change uncomplicated firewall's default policy to deny it tells me (be sure to update your rules accordingly). What does it mean by this? [01:16] how can I users write to it then w/o being root? [01:17] bluedusk, are these 2 lines the original from 8.04 server ? [01:17] renegade420: Well, it would probably be better to re-mount it with write permissions. [01:17] how? [01:18] renegade420: Read the manpage for mount (man mount) and be sure to include the "defaults" option when you issue the command. [01:18] omg, permission denied [01:18] techsupport: They are from xubuntu. [01:18] !mount [01:18] 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 [01:18] BlueEagle, permission denied lol... cant save the file [01:18] techsupport: That's because it's owned by root. [01:18] BlueEagle, with the user that i'm looged in as [01:18] !sudo [01:18] 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) [01:19] hi i'm havign probs with vmware server + ibex. [01:19] techsupport: But you already know that, don't you? [01:19] BlueEagle, so how can i login as sudo user now [01:19] when i build it, it says unable to build vmmon module [01:19] have any-any patch. [01:19] techsupport: You can save the file somewhere else and then copy it as root. [01:19] !ibex | tyi [01:19] tyi: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu [01:19] techsupport, read the article! [01:19] BlueEagle, but i cant login as root [01:19] basti, which 1 ? [01:19] techsupport: because you broke your pam? [01:19] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical ap.... [01:20] basti: I think he's broken his pam and possibly also his host file. [01:21] bluedusk, ok the instructions I followed are provided by ubuntuhelp communit docs, but they dont really say what to do i in this situation .... [01:21] errr [01:21] BlueEagle, [01:21] So there is no way to create hotspots to switch workspaces in GNOME without the compiz? [01:21] hi, some body using intrepid here? [01:21] !intrepid [01:21] Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu [01:21] techsupport: Well, what you can do is to reboot the server into single user mode. [01:22] :P [01:22] sorry [01:22] tnx ubottu [01:22] !thanks | haostun1 [01:22] haostun1: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [01:22] JAJAJA [01:22] BlueEagle, i dont have a monitor connected to it, or mouse, or keyboard [01:22] Mister Roboto? [01:23] Domo Origato..... [01:23] Domo Arigato [01:23] hehe [01:23] techsupport: Then you'll probably have to connect a monitor and a keyboard to it. [01:24] BlueEagle, On a Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) system, these changes to pam.d/common-auth result in not being able to log in as a local user, for example by ssh. Your luck may be better, but test immediately just in case. [01:24] BlueEagle, ok i tested, and thats what happend, but how to change it back they dont say [01:24] I just clicked on a google link that "did a free virus scan".. but that's not what the link said it was.. now the link says I've got all kinds of spyware.... what a joke! Not possible.. http://antvirushelp.com/2009/1/_freescan.php?id=880461 [01:25] BlueEagle, and what about ubuntu 8.04 ? they dont mention anything about it there either [01:25] Scunizi: It's social engineering to get you to install "antispywarepro2000" or such [01:25] !spam | scunizi [01:25] scunizi: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See (in a private message with the bot, /msg ubottu ): !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !Caps, !NickSpam, !PM, !English - And most importantly, use common sense... [01:25] Scunizi: Those things are bogus. [01:25] techsupport: To gain root access when you're not able to sudo you need to boot into single user mode. There you will have root privileges (but most likely not X). [01:25] Scunizi, wow it says i have spyware too :P [01:26] hi, running the non-ose version of virtualbox on ubuntu intrepid, I went through setting up guest additions, I've also selected a folder to share on my host machine, but I don't see where I can share the files with. Can anyone help me with this please? [01:26] Pici: genii, bobertdos , cwraig of course.. I had to clean a windows machine of this the other day.. what a pain [01:26] !interpid | joshual [01:26] joshual: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu [01:26] joshual: you should probably ask in #vbox though [01:26] BlueEagle, is it possible to boot to single user mode without monitor or keyboard ? [01:27] jrib: I have [01:27] jrib: Yeah, that might be more appropriate. [01:27] Scunizi, you can get this really good antivirus/antispyware disk from http://ubuntu.com [01:27] techsupport: It is not. [01:27] joshual: if you click on the Help menu, or download the manual from vbox, it lists the details about sharing. I don't know them off the top of my head. Have you taken a look at the manual? [01:27] how do i tell hardy i want standby to either work or at least give me the option of attempting to make it work? (by at least showing up in the "shutdown" dialog) [01:27] techsupport, BlueEagle it is [01:27] I need help with starting my transmission-daemon. [01:28] basti, can you tell me how to do it please ? [01:28] grub-reboot [01:28] basti: Well it is, but it won't be any use, would it? [01:28] cwraig: Funny.. I've passed that very same link around to lots of people with little result.. But I did get results! 2 installs in the last 2 months.. not great but more than none! :) [01:28] techsupport: It is actually technically possible to do over a serial X terminal but that has to have been setup previously [01:28] i need help recognizing and mounting a USB device [01:28] !transmission [01:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about transmission [01:28] BlueEagle, why not. when you have shell acess [01:28] jrib: no i looked at howto's, I'll look at the manual now... [01:29] how do i change the audio properties of a song [01:29] CJMCKEE, what are you mounting, a drive? [01:29] techsupport, i guess you have ssh access, dont you?! [01:29] can someone please tell me the terminal command for opening synaptic package manager [01:29] a Ext HDD...but the USP port wont recognize anything i plug in [01:29] Killer--Tux: easytag or rhythmbox [01:29] basti: I may be wrong here, but the reason for him to boot the server into single user mode is to gain lost root access. Last time I checked single user mode was w/o networking, but it may have changed since then. [01:29] basti, yeah, i can login but only as users of the domain name [01:29] symons: gksudo synaptic [01:29] symons: synaptic [01:29] basti, but not local users [01:30] bimberi: jrib thank you [01:30] CJMCKEE, you mean it's not auto mounted? [01:30] basti: also, booting into single user mode will not fix his inability to sudo afaik. [01:30] jrib thanks [01:30] do the instructions for hardy heron apply if i want to install flash on amd64 w/firefox? [01:30] Doesnt someone know about transmission? [01:30] wrong channel, sorry [01:30] wow [01:30] RHorse, correct. I plug it in and nothing happens. when i do lsusb its not there [01:30] jaxdahl: depends on what instructions you are using [01:30] ubuntu gets better and better each day [01:30] BlueEagle, thtat is correct. but he asked for booting in single user mode [01:30] i'm referring to the ones on help.ubuntu.com [01:30] chamunks: I use transmission [01:31] chamunks, what are you trying to do? [01:31] Hi. My gnome power manager displays wrong numbers. It shows that 9W being used. But that's incorrect. Powertop shows 17W. The remaining time is also incorrect. The real value is about 2.5 times bigger than the manager shows. [01:31] I've used Debian for a long time now. Are there things that I need to be aware of if I switch to Ubuntu? [01:31] basti: I think you may have missed part of the conversation. :) [01:31] cwraig: im trying to get clutch to start my transmission-daemon [01:31] CJMCKEE, is it plugged in now? [01:31] jaxdahl: yeah, you just install flashplugin-nonfree or let firefox do it for you by visiting a site like http://badgerbadgerbadger.com and clicking on the yellow bar at the top [01:31] techsupport, if you cant physicaly access the server and you forgot your root password, there is no way to change it. or if you messed something up as root [01:31] danbh_intrepid: do you know how to use clutch? [01:31] chamunks, i have never used clutch sorry [01:31] RHorse, yes. btw i am very new to linux so use small worlds lol [01:32] !debian | syntax [01:32] syntax: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [01:32] syntax: well, mostly that it's not debian. which in turn means that if you add *debian* repositories to it, that's a pretty sure way to break it badly [01:32] RHorse, Words* [01:32] syntax: you should be pretty comfortable. upgrading between releases should not be done by editing sources.list and doing a dist-upgrade. That's the one thing that comes to mind [01:32] has anyone here figured out how to add resolutions to the system/preferences/screen resolution dropdown menu yet [01:32] Should I download the ubuntu 8.10 beta? [01:32] basti, If you want to be able to use an active directory account, to manage your Ubuntu box, you need to add it to the sudoers file. For that, you will need to edit the file /etc/group an add your username to the admin group, and whatever other group you need(plugdev,audio,cdrom just to mention a few). it will be like: [01:32] ....... [01:32] admin:x:117:olduser,ActiveDirectoryUser [01:32] CJMCKEE, take it out, wait 10 secs and plug it back in, oK? [01:32] ThePandemic82: no [01:32] why? [01:32] cwraig: sigh this whole trying to move away from torrentflux is appearing to be fruitless. [01:32] just curious [01:33] LjL: That was my concern. I know the tools are similar, but that only gets me so far :-) [01:33] i'm trying to install a broadcasting tool called butt which uses a file labeled install.sh but i cant seem to get it to work anyone able to help? [01:33] ThePandemic82: ... because it's not been released, is unstable, and if you have to ask, then you don't want to? [01:33] RHorse, ok nothing happened. I have been trying to fix this problem for about a week now [01:33] LjL: I assume the different Ubuntu flavors are simply a matter of package selection? [01:33] basti, which i have done, i have admin:x:117:orudie,Administrator - and i'm logged in as administrator right now, but cant login as local user 'orudie' which has sudo [01:33] syntax: yes [01:33] chamunks, what does clutch do? [01:33] LjL yes there are meta packages [01:33] ah ic [01:33] ok, hold on.... now type the following: ls -rt /dev [01:33] chamunks: what is clutch? I don't see it [01:33] mib_dc87oxxc: yes, i know [01:34] cwraig: its a web gui so i can add torrents and such to my computer no matter where i am. [01:34] what are the last 10 files shown when you type that command? [01:34] techsupport, why cant you login as orudie? [01:34] basti, is there a way to change to other user within terminal [01:34] chamunks, i have transmssion setup on a schedule its a bit of a work around but its based on cron to start and stop the app === Sl4y3r is now known as Sl4y3r1 [01:34] techsupport, su user [01:34] chamunks, ahh ok, nah im prob no help [01:35] basti, lol didnt work [01:35] danbh_intrepid: its a package installable from the repo's that gives you a web gui for transmission [01:35] were I can find some background for my SimDock or Wbar ? [01:35] syntax, anyway no real need to worry about repositories, the Ubuntu ones provide all that Debian provides (since they pull from them, obviously), and somewhat more. and if you happen to really have to install something that's only packaged for Debian, you can try that *relatively* safely as long as you only try to install the single .deb package rather than adding an entire repository [01:35] basti, only domain memers can login now lol [01:35] im trying to install some themes in xubuntu off of xfce-look.org and everytime i move the folder into themes folder nothing shows up in the user interface [01:35] cwraig: basically though my issue is that the clutch init.d script doesent start 'transmission-daemon' [01:35] any ideas anyone [01:35] ok here are the lines [01:35] chamunks whats that package called? [01:35] RHorse, ptybd ptyq4 ptyvf tty20 ttyc3 ttyq8 ttyvc usbdev1.1_ep81 vcs7 ptybc ptyr3 ptyve tty19 ttyc2 ttyq7 ttyvb usbdev2.1_ep00 dri ptybb ptyr2 ptyvd tty18 ttyc1 ttyq6 ttyva usbdev3.1_ep00 console ptyba ptyr1 ptyvc tty17 ttyc0 ttyq5 ttyv9 usbdev2.1_ep81 vcsa1 ptyb9 ptyr0 ptyvb tty16 ttybf ttyr7 ttyv8 usbdev3.1_ep81 vcs1 ptyb8 ptyqf ptyva tty15 ttybe ttyr6 ttyv7 usbdev4.1_ep [01:35] chamunks: hmmm, my transmission has that built right in. But Im on intrepid [01:35] mib_dc87oxxc: simply clutch [01:36] !info clutch [01:36] clutch (source: clutch): Web-based BitTorrent client using Transmission engine. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4-0ubuntu5 (hardy), package size 160 kB, installed size 796 kB [01:36] danbh_intrepid: im actually testing intrepid but it doesent want to work for me off the hop. [01:36] basti, this is what i did http://pastebin.com/m61bb4521 [01:36] syntax: also, although you're probably aware, there's no such thing as "Ubuntu Testing", if you're used to that [01:37] danbh_intrepid: and by off the hop i mean whatso friggin ever. [01:37] mib_dc87oxxc: or the package for transmission-daemon is transmission-cli [01:37] chamunks: well, I guess I can give it a test, but join #ubuntu+1 [01:37] RHorse, over the last few days, every now and then it will automount last for about 2min then disappear again [01:37] ? [01:37] were I can find some background for my SimDock or Wbar ? [01:37] hi, does anyone have experience with their computer getting stuck at "Starting up..." after grub loads stage 1.5? [01:38] danbh_intrepid: pm instead? [01:38] basti, cant FTP like i normally used to either [01:38] techsupport, cant you reverse what you did to pam? [01:38] chamunks: no, #ubuntu+1 [01:38] ok, CJMCKEE what usb port are you using? Are you using a port off the mb, the front of the case or a hub? [01:38] basti, i would gladly do it if i knew how [01:39] well, you did something. [01:39] so what did you do? [01:39] CJMCKEE, RHorse: not that it helps much, but i experience a similar problem (Kubuntu though), USB mass storage devices work, but "unmount" themselves after a while [01:39] jim_p where are you at [01:39] RHorse, its a built in port into the laptop, i am assuming directly connected to the MB. the comp is a Thinkpad T42 [01:40] basti, are you asking me ? [01:40] sure [01:40] i showed you what i did [01:40] I have a dependency error...I'm not sure where to find this file, apt-cache search came up with nothing, but what I am trying to install comes up with dependency not satisfiable, lib32gcc1 [01:40] can you use clutch with port 80? [01:40] Sys_QueEvent: OverFlow [01:40] CJMCKEE, is it a thumbdrive? [01:40] ciao [01:40] i edited pam.d/common-auth [01:40] Maahes: that's because it doesn't exist - and what is it, that you're trying to install? [01:40] !it | pippo [01:41] pippo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!

[01:41] is there any way to modify the main menubar from a text file? something like editing fluxbox right-click menu... [01:41] ....evidently an outdated deb [01:41] lib32gcc1 seems to have last existed in dapper [01:41] is there a way to set a different wallpaper to each space? [01:41] Maahes: or one for Debian, or one for a different Ubuntu release [01:42] LjL, "debian and its derivs" [01:42] basti, still around... ? [01:42] Maahes: that's nonsense to label a package with, a package won't ever work with "debian and its derivs" at large [01:43] yes. trying to figure it out... [01:43] Azhi_Dahaka not afaik [01:43] LjL, depends....I mean, ubuntu is by and large binary compatible, much of universe, etc. is just upstream debian [01:44] How do I use 'unzip' to extract a zip archive to a folder by the name of its archive? (besides using -d and changing the name each time) [01:44] techsupport, have you tried to stop winbind? [01:44] CJMCKEE, you may have luck with a diff drive. I've had some brands of thumb drives not recognized and others are always recognized. I know it doesn't help you but, FWIW... [01:44] has anyone here figured out how to add resolutions to the system/preferences/screen resolution dropdown menu yet [01:44] we'll see if I can get it to build from sauce instead [01:44] Maahes: compatible with *what*? debian stable is something quite completely different from debian unstable, and ubuntu is synced with the latter every 6 month. you'll be hard pressed to find a package, any package, that works on both debian stable and unstable (and ubuntu) [01:45] Maahes: yeah build it from source, google doesn't find any proper packages for me [01:45] RHorse, what does FWIW mean? and i have tried several different brands. and they all work fine on other computers. [01:45] vmware server 2 on ubuntu server any one? [01:45] CJMCKEE, does the drive come with a power supply and are you using it? [01:45] basti, i stopped winbind, still cant login as sudo user [01:45] RHorse, No it doesnt have a power supply [01:46] techsupport, you dont login via sudo user [01:46] hey is there a way to disable the routine check on drives every x boots [01:46] vahnx: read 'man tune2fs' [01:46] I just read that it has a c++ like syntax.....ew, I think I'll hold off on trying it for a bit, and focus on osh, which has a nice python like syntax [01:46] basti, well, trying to login locally as user that has super user [01:46] anyone know? [01:46] CJMCKEE, you may want to use a good hub with an external supply. Your hub may be a lil underpowered. A powered hub may help [01:46] vahnx: did you see what I said? [01:46] ya but im asking you guys [01:47] vahnx: but I just answered you... [01:47] i assume no one knows? [01:47] Anyone got experience getting printers to working? i'm getting really flustered [01:47] How do I use 'unzip' to extract a zip archive to a folder by the name of its archive? (besides using -d and changing the name each time) [01:47] RHorse, do you think that has to do with the OS. I had Windows on this machine a week ago and it was working fine [01:47] !printing > todd__ [01:47] todd__, please see my private message [01:47] todd__: I'd start there [01:47] techsupport, you change the user with "su user" and execute commands as root with "sudo programm". did you mix up some commands? [01:49] CJMCKEE, believe me, Win users experience the same problems like you're describing. I'd try a powered hub before I bail on theOS or the drive. 8 ) [01:49] basti, all i did was edit pam.d/common-auth , then logged out, and now cant login l [01:50] RHorse, I will try that any reccomendations on a Hub i should look into? [01:50] basti, i can only login with users that are members of active directory DC [01:50] RHorse, or any i should stay away from? [01:50] basti, but not as local users [01:51] RHorse, and what does a powered hub do that this config doesnt? Like I said i am new to all this and am trying to learn as much as i can [01:51] techsupport, and you cant gain any root access? [01:51] My Ralink drivers on my Asus EEE do not seem to get loaded. Where's the best place to start? [01:52] basti, correct , i tried su orudie (orudie is a user with root access) , its asking for password and i put it in and it says access denied [01:52] CJMCKEE, try to get one that gets good reviews on amazon or newegg. Don't get the cheapest [01:52] CJMCKEE, and make sure it's the powered type. [01:53] When I use Vino to VNC to my computer.. I get "invalid protocol" any idea why? [01:53] techsupport, well, as i said. when you cant get any root access or access to a user with sudo rights, you are pretty much screws [01:53] s=d [01:53] need helping mounting a partition when starting up, how to do? [01:53] edit fstab [01:53] RHorse, so I am looking for a hub that connects to my USB port, has a cord that plugs into an outlet, then ports for other devices right? [01:53] !fstab | Azlx [01:53] Azlx: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [01:53] techsupport, and you have no access to the machine [01:53] techsupport: you can't use recovery mode to repair the file you edited? [01:54] Not quite sure if this means anything... but when I try something such as sudo kedit xorg.conf I get an error message like this: Error: "/tmp/kde-chiririauizSj" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. [01:54] Is this anything that I should worry about? [01:54] CJMCKEE, correct! It's a shot in the dark, but it may work. [01:54] basti, what if i connect a monitor to this machine, do you think i will be able to connect as local user ? [01:54] Elda: It may be due to you using sudo instead of kdesu for graphical apps. [01:55] !kdesu | Elda [01:55] Elda: In KDE, use « kdesudo » (Gutsy) or « kdesu » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [01:55] Hey everyone. I'm trying to find a download for the "onboard" keyboard in Ubuntu. I've got a debian box where I want to use that software keyboard. Any idea where I might find it? The "onboard" name is far to common to turn up useful results on google. [01:55] RHorse, well i appreciate the help. This problem seems to be pretty stumping a lot of people. ive gone to several groups and IT people and no one seems to know whats going on [01:55] Hmm okey [01:55] Or, do I have the name wrong? The keyboard in a window that comes with ubuntu? [01:55] CJMCKEE, I've used datastor drives in the past. They're tested with Linux, and work. GL [01:56] question y'all [01:56] installed 8.04.1-ALT on old laptop ... completed ... rebooted ... video scrambled, apparently need a different driver ... anyone help with that procedure or web-doc to instruct? [01:56] I've gotten a bunch of error messages saying someone's trying to remotely access my desktop and do I accept or refuse [01:56] Should I be concerned or does this happen a lot? [01:56] RHorse, thnks [01:56] Oooh, I see. thanks :) [01:56] using 8.04 [01:56] dtech, you need to determine what video card/chipset that thing has befor going too much farther. [01:56] s3 aurora64v [01:57] mophead. Do you have something like VNC on there? If so, you might want to tighten it up using your router/firewall. [01:57] Or turn it off. [01:57] techsupport, as long as you can gain root access or can edit the pam files with a live cd you will be fine [01:57] Or, turn off remote X connections, if that's what it is (but I doubt that would ask). [01:57] codazoda: what's VNC again? Also, how do I know whether I have a firewall again? [01:58] techsupport, just read about the commands you enterd and reverse them [01:58] when I first tried the graphic install in (vga safe mode) .. it looked okay [01:58] mophead. In ubuntu I believe it's called remote desktop. Find it in the menu's, make sure it's off. [01:59] dtech, i would check the forums for s3 video card info.. ive not heard very much 'good' about those.. its possible it may work with the vesa drivers. [01:59] codazoda: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=onboard [01:59] Oh, VNC *is* remote desktop accesser [01:59] the 'vesa driver' not the default? [02:00] Just need help with ssh: I changed my ssh port to 10022 in sshd_config, I opened up port 10022 on my firewall, and opened it up on Firestarter, but am still unable to ssh from outside my local network? Any ideas? [02:00] codazoda: ok, VNC is off. That was easy! Thanks! [02:01] vock: you need to forward the port to your IP on your router [02:01] has anyone in here tried ubuntu ultimate 1.9? [02:01] boo [02:01] vock, and you need to reload sshd [02:02] osh is way incomplete [02:02] how come i have no sound when playing a media file in vlc? [02:03] BLAH12345: has your machine recently hibernated or suspended? ubuntu has a problem with sound after re-awakening [02:03] BLAH12345: Also, you can look in #vlc [02:03] nope [02:03] just booted went to play an avi and no sound :( [02:03] basti, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server Edition can i use this as a live cd ? [02:04] BLAH12345: Did you check the sound settings on the computer? Also, can you play avi files that played ok before? [02:04] techsupport, you can use every live cd you want [02:04] techsupport, i dont think so. its using the alternative installer.. boot it up and see if you can get to a shell. i guess. if you want to do it all in the terminal [02:04] i can play them on another computer [02:04] techsupport, depends on what you are going to do with it. :) [02:05] but any avi file i open has no sound with vlc on ubuntu [02:05] (8.04) [02:05] BLAH12345: Can you play any avi files on this comp? [02:05] oh [02:05] You might be missing a codec [02:05] if that's the case, #vlc will know a lot more than us [02:05] what should i try to install :) [02:05] techsupport, you can use knoppix for what you ant to do. it has nothing to do with ubunut [02:05] its #videolan.... [02:05] Also, try googling "ubuntu 8.04 sound issues" or something like that [02:05] basti: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart? [02:06] !sound [02:06] 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 [02:06] vock, yes. reload would work too [02:06] Network Manager GUI is throwing a wobbly with my wlan password. [02:06] hmm,isn't the current version of gIMP,2.6? [02:06] BLAH12345: There you so, the ubottu has good advice [02:07] Azhi_Dahaka: latest stable release, yeah. Why do you ask? [02:08] i have sound.... just not on avis lol [02:08] apt-get upgrade gimp doesn't install it [02:08] BLAH12345: then definitely check with the videolan people [02:08] Azhi_Dahaka: why would it? ubuntu makes a stable release every 6 months and then upgrades only for security or big bug fixes [02:09] Network Manager GUI is throwing a wobbly with my wlan password. [02:09] The security mode is correct, the key is correct. === Guest3279 is now known as Orbixx [02:09] so, the repository only updates when a major release is stable? [02:09] an Ubuntu release? [02:09] Azhi_Dahaka, basicially every 6 moi [02:10] Is there a CLI way to configure a WLAN connection? [02:10] <_Zeus_> Has anyone updated to OpenOffice 3.0rc4? [02:10] does anyone know of an app that will play back midi keypresses with a fixed level on a fixed id, one event at a time and move on to the next event when [and only when] a midi input event matches the last sent event? [02:10] i see... so, to keep all my apps updated, i have to manually install them? [02:10] Azhi_Dahaka: the repositories for fixed version of ubuntu only get upgrades with the exceptions I said before. What you do get is a new release that older releases can be upgraded to every 6 months [02:11] basti, ok i fixed it by booting as recovery mode, logged in as root edited changes back , now all good it seems like [02:11] Azhi_Dahaka: there's no need to. If version x works fine, then there's no point in upgrading to version x+1 as they may just introduce new issues. But yes, if you have some favorite app that you feel you need to have the latest version of for some reason, then you need to handle that yourself [02:12] <[biabia]> plz dont shoot me but is ubuntu server edition meant to be a webserver or fileserver [02:12] damn... ok [02:12] how come when i play an avi in totem it plays it frame by frame? [02:12] [biabia], it can be both or either.. [02:12] i remember /etc/init.d/sshd restart working before, but this time it's saying file not found, is there anywhere else the sshd would install to? [02:12] how can i enable the secure shell on my ubuntu box? [02:12] Azhi_Dahaka: usually the backports repository will backport versions from the development version of ubuntu as well [02:13] !ssh > Azhi_Dahaka [02:13] Azhi_Dahaka, please see my private message [02:13] <[biabia]> Dr_willis_, my desire is to make one of my pc's into a fileserver and connect it to my other pcs as clients using a switch [02:13] basti, yeah, not its perfect, i can login as both local and domain users [02:13] !codec [02:13] 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 [02:13] no, not the client... the server [02:14] Azhi_Dahaka: yeah, ubottu linked you to instructions [02:14] is there a modification that makes the toolbar items smaller? [02:14] [biabia], the desktop edititon can do that also.. [02:14] who's the genius here involving custom kernels, nvidia, and creative [02:15] [biabia], a samba server, or nfs filsserver is not too hard to get setup [02:15] how do i get media player to play real audio files?

[02:19] im using XFCE on an XO [02:20] jack__, you can actualy get real player for ubuntu [02:20] LuYu, o.. [02:20] anyone know how i can tell what devices are using a module? [02:20] LuYu: have you tried #xubuntu ? [02:20] also, i would like to make the change in X, so that XDM gets the theme, too [02:20] ah [02:20] good idea [02:20] there is really a channel for everything these days ;-) [02:21] yeah anyone got any ideas? doi need to install refit [02:21] ? [02:21] just wish there was 1 for icewm & *buntu ;) [02:21] <[biabia]> dr_Willis, so i dont need ubuntu server at all [02:21] ubuntu [02:22] question, if i have xdm installed and xfce is the only desktop that i need, can i remove gdm? [02:22] Has anyone else ever had problems reading from an SD card past the 1GB full mark? Like anything written as the first GB of data is normal, but things (photos, in my case) written later can't be read properly or copied? [02:23] question, if i have xdm installed and xfce is the only desktop that i need, can i remove gdm? is xdm depend on gdm? [02:23] xiamx: as long as you're using xdm instead of gdm i don't see why you couldn't remove gdm... as long as you don't have some other package that relies on it [02:24] hi [02:24] xiamx, do a simulation with dpkg -s and see what it want to remove [02:24] Hey I'm trying to triple boot my mac and no my xp install is giving me this error. Please reinstall hal.dll Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt. Do i need to i nstall refit [02:24] xiamx: try `aptitude remove gdm` & check the package list of the things it's removing [02:24] !ubotu Fusion [02:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubotu fusion [02:24] pteague: i installed xubuntu, but gdm is installed as default, i don't know if Xubuntu needs gdm somewhere [02:24] !fusion [02:24] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [02:25] pteague: ok i'm doing it [02:25] xiamx: oh, gdm is used by xubuntu by default as it's a nicer login interface [02:25] how to fix streamtuner? [02:25] xdm is kind of nasty & not as user friendly [02:25] er, click friendly? [02:25] some one help me figure out why i can't connect to the gnump3d server? [02:26] pteague: too bad.. xubuntu-desktop ' entire package is linked with gdm [02:26] any one knows how to fix streamtuner? [02:26] frank392, depens on whats broken on it - i imagine.. [02:26] Freakin_Busy: `traceroute gnump3d-server` ? [02:26] shoutcast! [02:27] xiamx as far as I know, that's just the default gnome stuff. [02:28] shoutcast! [02:28] Say if you do a barebones install with no graphical system, installing xubuntu-desktop would just install all of the gnome stuff and the basic stuff that comes bundled with gnome. [02:28] xiamx: you could remove that & manually install everything else that xubuntu desktop uses... but honestly, i'd suggest you actually try xdm first & see if you like it [02:28] pteague, i hit the server.... i just don't get any http page [02:29] anyone know how i can tell what devices are using a module? [02:29] DaCapn: no, that should install the xfce stuff [02:29] any one knows how to fix streamtuner? [02:29] on a fresh 8.04 install the video is scrambled ... I came acros a web arcticle that indicates the 24 bit color default is not supported by the video and suggest changing it to 16 bit within /etc/X11/XFree86Config ... is there an equivivent in the *.04 install and how do I get to it? [02:29] Freakin_Busy: hmm... try `curl -I http://gnump3e-server` & see what the headers say [02:29] Oh, I'm sorry, right xubuntu. [02:30] I've never used Ubuntu but I'm considering installing it for a development system. Does Ubuntu setup support creating a dm-crypt volume? [02:30] pteague: ok thanks [02:30] any one knows how to fix streamtuner? [02:30] pteague, it gives me the default "it works" header [02:30] frank392 try starting with talking about your problem. [02:31] Freakin_Busy: hmm... sounds like they don't have their vhost configured [02:31] due to a bug in xrandr I can no longer see my desktop and I can't use xrandr from a console... is there a way I can restart x while saving my work (gnome/ubuntu) without being able to see the screen? [02:31] strictlymike I know it's pretty seamless in debian. In ubuntu it seems like you aren't provided with the option to make a dm-crypt volume for installation. [02:31] it's my server \o8 [02:31] pteague, how do i set up the vhost? === pronoy is now known as pronoy_ [02:32] DACapn streamtuner is my problem [02:32] Freakin_Busy: oh! what port is gnump3d using? [02:32] frank392 Oh... now I understand. [02:32] 8888 [02:32] pteague, it's open in the firewall [02:32] DACapn any idea how to fix it ? [02:33] DACapn: Thanks! I'll have to look up how to do it in the... Wiki, I guess? :-) [02:33] Freakin_Busy: try `curl -I http://url:8888/` ... i'm assuming it's using tcp & not udp [02:33] exit [02:33] gah [02:33] strictlymike you may also want to look into encfs.

Version 0.2.1-0ubuntu2.2 (hardy), package size 28 kB, installed size 328 kB [02:41] yea.. ok thanks pteague [02:41] <[mors]> _Zeus_: I'm using default configuration. I don't set any flags. I just select the option from the initial menu [02:41] <_Zeus_> [mors]: ok [02:41] <[mors]> _Zeus_: btw, I'm using the ubuntu-eee iso [02:41] <_Zeus_> [mors]: what is that? [02:41] <_Zeus_> and does a normal ISO work [02:41] <[mors]> but afaik, they only change teh bundled software, nothing more [02:41] strictlymike Okay, because I remember running into a few irregularities with the initramfs. But with an encrypted home partition, you won't have such problems. [02:42] <[mors]> _Zeus_: http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/ [02:42] <_Zeus_> [mors]: does a normal iso work? [02:42] DaCapn: Ah, well thank you for bothering to give that some thought for me :-) I've got an encrypted home partition in Debian, and I was considering moving to Ubuntu. Although--could I more easily just apt-get install truecrypt, or something along those lines? [02:42] <[mors]> normal iso, like, another different version ? yeap, my old 6.10 burned cd boots just fine [02:43] <[mors]> the VM image has two partitions, etx3 and swap [02:43] <_Zeus_> [mors]: yeah, i think it's something with that distrom then [02:43] <_Zeus_> sed s/distrom/distro/ [02:43] <[mors]> _Zeus_: their channel is empty.. :/ [02:43] <[mors]> well thanks [02:43] <[mors]> I'm try it with ubuntu ubuntu when I get my hands on it [02:44] omg.finally im in using mibbit..sheez security paranoia operators in this channel hehehehe === norberto is now known as u7pL [02:44] anyways highways [02:44] im using nfs,now how do i know that there is an ongoing file transfer or accessing my nfs files/directories? [02:44] <[mors]> byepeople [02:45] strictlymike I don't know that truecrypt would be any easier or harder. [02:45] Hay all, I have need of a program that will listen to the NIC port and Auto Detect the network...I know there is one, but I cannot remember its name...any clues? [02:45] DaCapn: Mmkay. I've never used it, so I don't know either I guess :-) [02:45] dm-crypt doesn't have plausible deniability in mind, it has filesystem headers. But it does support containers. [02:46] truecrypt is cool but sometimes very hard to unmount cuz it sometimes says blah blah is busy unable to unmount [02:46] anyone have any ideas why unbuntu 8.04.1 will not connect to the wireless router using wep [02:46] works fine without wep [02:46] DaCapn: I'm not looking for plausible deniability in this case, though. Just encryption. [02:46] tipsy, driver problem maybe? [02:47] i just installed madwifi to get the driver to work === joe_electrician is now known as ablyss [02:47] so call me stupid but I've followed these instructions and I do not see AWM at all... it seems too easy [02:47] :P [02:47] I'm moving to encfs on my main workstations. On a few servers I have whole disk (except for boot volume) encrypted with dm-crypt. [02:48] <_Zeus_> greedyb: did you run it yet? [02:48] Why are you using encryption on your server volumes, if I may ask? [02:48] im trying to restart the soundcore module to troubleshoot a usb soundcard issue, but it says it's busy, anyone know how to tell what is using it? [02:48] how i convert bin/toc files to iso? [02:48] hello, is it normal for an 8.04 ubuntu install disk to remain frozen at 82% for a long period of time, i have tried 3 different installs and i'm pretty sure the disk is ok [02:49] <_Zeus_> M4rotku: did you run a disc check?? [02:49] I'd like to log, but be able to keep them from prying eyes if there's unusual circumstances. [02:49] _Zeus_, I figured it out.. sorry I forgot I had selected to turn off compiz :P :P [02:49] M4rotku, does the cpu/fan sound abnormal? [02:49] _Zeus_, i forgot to mention, it's the iso image, it's for a virtual machine. i think it's the same image i burned my main install disk off of though [02:50] <_Zeus_> M4rotku: did you md5sum the file? [02:50] Unusual, meaning physical theft? [02:50] In general, I'm paranoid. I don't have a valid reason in terms of NDAs or anything and I'm not doing anything suspicious. I just enjoy being able to keep privacy. [02:50] _Zeus_, i do not know what that means [02:50] I installed a full version of ubuntu (without a bootloader) on my flash drive.

[02:58] <_Zeus_> EvilZx: technically, restart X, not GDM, but same idea [02:58] <_Zeus_> that's the only way to apply the changes [02:59] But it ddrescue doesn't show up in apt on this hardy live CD.

[03:03] <_Zeus_> EvilZx: what happened??? [03:04] Well, I just did Ctrl Alt Backspace, when it came to.. [03:04] hey. would anyone advise something other than "cat file.ext.* >> file.ext" to combine parts of files (file.ext.001, file.ext.002, etc.)? Or is that probably the best way? [03:04] Top part of my screen was all static, bottom part had half of of each desktop. [03:04] <_Zeus_> Gracenotes: best way [03:04] And I couldn't see the bottom part of the screen. [03:04] okay, good to know [03:04] So I had to reboot. [03:04] <_Zeus_> EvilZx: and then? [03:04] <_Zeus_> did you reconfig X? [03:04] It was okay, so I got back here. [03:05] <_Zeus_> EvilZx: then it's fixed [03:05] Err. [03:05] <_Zeus_> i guess you had to reboot instead of restart x [03:05] Did I mention I'm at 640x680 Res? [03:05] <_Zeus_> EvilZx: no [03:05] <_Zeus_> :P [03:05] Instead of 1280x1024? [03:05] <_Zeus_> ok, sed s/fixed/busted/ [03:05] And this all happened because I unplugged Ubuntu's Hard drive?

I have 2 groups on my system, with various users in them. How can I have files where 1 group has full read/write and the other has read only [03:32] vock: no problem :) [03:33] !hi | WaffleCheese [03:33] WaffleCheese: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:33] thanks murlidhar I have always been lucky with wireless and never had to config in the past. [03:33] hi murlidhar [03:33] brent113: you can't. Use ACLs if you really need that kind of control. Your other option is to just give everyone read permissions and 1 specific group write permissions [03:33] i am having issues connecting to yahooIM on pidgin [03:33] never connects [03:33] shane7: unfortunately atheros are a pain in the a#$. [03:34] jrib, thanks [03:34] WaffleCheese: hi . [03:34] i am trying to install the correct drivers for prolink pixelview tv pro card . lsmod and dmesg give my these outputs . :( http://www.pastie.org/288352 http://www.pastie.org/287880 [03:34] how do you put the text in that yellow box? [03:34] murlidhar: hmm, that is odd, because my card on this laptop is atheros, and it has worked with every distro with no work [03:35] jrib, yea, I have a folder tree where 1 group has 755 access to the entire thing, and I need 1 group to have 775 access to 1 specific folder in it. So ACLs are where it's at I guess [03:35] shane7: then it is better if you read the docs . [03:35] WaffleCheese: which yellow box [03:35] thanks murlidhar [03:35] you say my name in a yellow box, with the text... [03:35] each time you talk to me [03:36] oh, i just need to write the name, then dots and the text? [03:36] WaffleCheese: your client highlights your nick. Just put the other persons name at the beginning of what you say. try: jr [03:36] WaffleCheese: thats highlight . whenever i or anyone types your name , your irc client highlights it for you . [03:36] oh! cool [03:36] puff, the only time rsync has hung with me is when it is pointed to an unmounted directory. [03:37] jrib: hi [03:37] murlidhar: were are you from? [03:37] (you see the yellow box? [03:37] !offtopic | WaffleCheese [03:37] WaffleCheese: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:37] WaffleCheese: india [03:37] puff, I mean a dir that is mounted but does not exist any longer [03:38] Hey, anyone know why i wouldn't have Hardware Information listed under System>Prefs ?

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [03:38] murlidhar: how you do that? [03:38] murlidhar: you talk spanish? [03:39] WaffleCheese: nopes [03:39] murlidhar: oh, well thats fine, i am from Mexico but i can understand english :) [03:39] I imagine that the default "java" is openjava, is there a way to set SUN's Java JDK as the default? [03:39] why cant i open my ipod in ubuntu? [03:39] slightly OT: do laptops SODIMM DDR2 memory not come with ECC? (can't find any on Amazon) <-- why does this relate to ubuntu? I run ubuntu; my current RAM modules are bad (according to memtest86) [03:39] it gives me the, unable to mount error. [03:40] WaffleCheese: it's the bot (kinda software robot) tells you . i just tell him to tell you so that i don't have to type everything [03:40] WaffleCheese: please join #ubuntu-offtopic for further questions [03:41] murlidhar: i dont understand what you tell the bot... but... well, i think it is not important... [03:41] how old are you?

[03:41] im using it as a moving truck from windows to ubuntu [03:42] murlidhar: this is not a chat? i thinked (or whatever it is written) that the chats were to meet new people..... [03:42] Hi, why would my laptop be suspending when I unplug it? it happens 9 out of 10 times i'd say, usually if I haven't been actively using it. It's set to never susped because of idle [03:42] I imagine that the default "java" is openjava, is there a way to set SUN's Java JDK as the default? [03:42] WaffleCheese: this is a support chat... ubuntu-offtopic is where you want to be. :) [03:42] default as in the compiler invoked by javac. [03:42] WaffleCheese: this is support channel not a random chat channel . please join there . i am there too :) [03:42] tanalark: oh.. thanks... :P [03:42] anybody know about using xrandr on an intel 965 and not losing desktop effects on FBs over 2048 x 2048? [03:43] murlidhar: ok... i will try to find it :) [03:43] Azlx: you can access window files from ubuntu . no need to transfer files [03:43] can anyone help me boot ubunt off my usb flash drive using a cd to load the usb drive (no bios support)??? [03:44] WaffleCheese: type " /join #ubuntu-offtopic " without the quotes :) [03:44] i just need to trigger the flash drive to boot, i have everything else complete [03:44] how do i go about doing that? [03:44] I imagine the default Java is openjava, is there a way to change it to sun's Java?

[03:45] "find -type l" will get me all the symlinks in a tree, but how do I show the target for each one? [03:45] WesGrant: i am not sure but the command xrandr should give you the output of all the supported resolution by the graphics driver. then xrandr -s (the resolution you want) [03:46] !multijava > R0b0t1 [03:46] R0b0t1, please see my private message [03:46] Can anyone help me with my laptop suspending when I unplug it? [03:47] i have 2 monitors. when i config them side by side, the overall width is 2560 and desktop effects cut out. [03:47] #surabaya [03:47] dri support i think [03:47] once again it's pointless to ask in this channel [03:48] hi linux's users, were I can find some background for my Simdock? [03:48] aha ... find -type l -exec stat '{}' -c %N \; [03:50] Can anyone tell me how to boot into windows if I had xp installed and then on a different partition installed ubuntu? [03:50] <_Zeus_> aunvoh: ubuntu should have added an entry for windows [03:50] <_Zeus_> automatically [03:50] does rm ever follow symlinks? === me is now known as Guest90587 [03:52] hai hai..... [03:52] are there any programs at all that let you browse your music by album covers? [03:52] <_Zeus_> VSpike: depends if you have a / after the directory [03:52] blehblah, amarok does [03:52] <_Zeus_> VSpike: rm -r x will remove the symlink, rm -r x/ will remove the folder that it links to [03:52] blehblah, also exhaile [03:52] RHorse: Well, I'm assuming it's hanging because the disk is having hardware issues, which is the whole reason I was trying to exclude that file. [03:52] can anyone help me make a boot cd to boot ubuntu from my usb drive [03:52] hi... [03:53] _Zeus_: what about when recursing? [03:53] Freakin_Busy: i thought amarok 2 wasn't out yet.. and wow, i never knew exaile let you do it. thanks! me go check [03:53] _Zeus_: i.e. excluding any arguments passed, only their children [03:54] <_Zeus_> VSpike: same [03:54] <_Zeus_> if you aren't using the -r flag, they will never be followed [03:55] _Zeus_: sure, they can't be.. but if you are using -r on a normal directory that contains symlinks to files and directories, what will it do? [03:55] What is the best way to do a search and replace (using REGEX) on a directory of files? sed? grep? egrep? [03:56] keystr0k: In theory, but I tend to find it easiest to just write a perl script to do it. [03:56] puff, yes, that makes sense. rsync likes to have a look at each file before it excludes it. [03:57] puff, Thanks... I did see a post online saying they had good luck doing it that way [03:57] <_Zeus_> VSpike: if the var passed to rm ends with a /, it will remove the folder [03:57] I'd prefer to just write a one-liner in terminal [03:58] hi all [03:58] hi [03:58] just installed Ubuntu 8.10 beta and noticed 1 bug [03:58] i could report [03:59] anyone help me make boot cd to kickoff a usb stick boot? [03:59] anyone here interested in bug reports? [03:59] keystr0k: either find + sed or grep + sed would work, depending on how you want to select files [04:00] keystr0k: something like http://blog.trendics.com/linux/mass-find-and-replace-from-linux-shell/ [04:01] VSpike, Thanks, I think I like the grep + sed method... [04:01] can my conversation be logged on here via packet sniffing? [04:02] ok, we have a real problem now, on the liveCD, the hardwire eth0 connection isn't even showing up [04:02] any ideas? [04:02] After a default install of Ubuntu 8.10 and checking "Autologin" option, first desktop booted without panels, so I hit ctrl-alt-backspace, then reloged and then everything was OK. [04:02] brand new laptop, and doesn't recognize any (eth0 ath0) internet connection device, I'm on liveCD right now. [04:03] Freakin_Busy: i browsed all plugins/preferences in exaile and there is nothing to be found... i'm back @ square one [04:03] I guess some bug in install script and autologin option on first boot [04:03] you want to boot a cd with a usb stick version boot? [04:04] shane i had the same problem [04:04] any ideas at trying to setup internet connection? [04:04] how are you on now though ? :P [04:04] maybe i can help [04:04] I have used Ubuntu since Breezy days and never ran into this situation [04:04] n00b: I'm all ears. [04:04] hoi [04:04] i want to boot ubuntu from my memory stick [04:05] Hello everyone. Question for the smarter people: AMD-V and Hardy, Program says its not supported, i know for a fact the chip does support it. [04:05] but i don't have bios usb booting [04:05] and no floppy [04:05] so i've tried a grub boot cd, but didn't get it to work [04:05] are there any software for linux that let you browse your music by album covers? [04:06] blehblah, Amarok [04:06] sp* [04:06] is there a way to report a bug on some irc channel? [04:06] anyone? [04:06] apart from amarok? [04:06] blehblah, I like quodlibet -- python app [04:07] AMD-V anyone? [04:07] is there official irc channel for reporting bugs in dev. version of 8.10? [04:07] RHorse: hmm, very interesting, thanks [04:08] <_Zeus_> srdjan: #ubuntu+1 [04:08] any help with usb booting? [04:08] 10x Zeus [04:08] blehblah, np [04:09] any reason my compiz fusion isnt wanting to open and run [04:09] <_Zeus_> Azlx: logically, yes, there is a reason [04:09] <_Zeus_> Azlx: could you post the error? [04:09] E: Type '--00:23:06--' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list [04:09] what does this mean ? [04:10] it has to do with the /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/inniate_edge [04:10] keystr0k: Well, I have to head out. If you want, you can start from this script I use: http://www.darksleep.com/puff/switchcvsroot.pl [04:10] there is no error, it just doesnt run. [04:10] hi guys [04:10] is Kopete stable in ubuntu 8.04? [04:10] puff, Thank you! I am heading there now. [04:10] Does anyone know how to enable the Nvidia Driver when you KNOW it's installed? [04:11] This worked great for find/replace over multiple files...http://blog.trendics.com/linux/mass-find-and-replace-from-linux-shell/ [04:11] keystr0k: I was tryign to work out - does that actually change the files, or just print the displayed text? [04:12] keystr0k: I mean print the changed text [04:12] VSpike, Works like a charm. Yeah, it doesn't actually show you the results, but it does in fact make the change [04:12] Can ~/* be used to display the types of all the files in your home directory? [04:12] keystr0k: ah yeah - sed -i = inplace editing [04:12] VSpike, Hmmm. [04:13] Does anyone know how to enable the Nvidia Driver when you KNOW it's installed? [04:13] keystr0k: one thing - without the g option (as in s/foo/bar/g) I think it might only replace the first occurrence [04:13] anyone set up a gnump3d server before? can't figure out how to play music? [04:13] VSpike: yeah, I think g stands for global [04:13] !ntfs | azlx [04:13] azlx: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [04:14] VSpike, I guess I don't get what exactly in-place-editing is... [04:14] VSpike, yeah, g is global... [04:14] !repos | Azlx [04:14] Azlx: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [04:14] VSpike, man page doesn't explain in-place editing. [04:14] keystr0k: normally sed is a stream editor, so it takes an input stream, modifies it, and pipes it out [04:14] keystr0k: try "info sed" [04:15] VSpike, I have never heard of the "info" command... does this work for many programs? [04:15] <_Zeus_> keystr0k: eh, man is better... [04:15] <_Zeus_> keystr0k: and more comprehensive [04:16] hlow [04:16] _Zeus_, Yeah, I like the old man pages... just hadn't heard of info [04:16] _Zeus_, I do like the concise examples [04:16] okay, im missing a dependency... can someone tell me how to fix it please. SQLITE dependencies: [04:16] DBD::SQLite >= 1.00...MISSING [04:16] keystr0k: It's a historical thing. GNU programs tend to have their docs as info. man pages are usually a summary and often incomplete/out of date [04:16] <_Zeus_> Hix-Nix: try typing sudo apt-get install sqlite [04:17] keystr0k: it's a PITA to be honest [04:17] _Zeus_, ive tried that, it tells me i have the latest version [04:17] <_Zeus_> Hix-Nix: what are you trying to install? [04:17] im guessing it wants an older version [04:17] Request Tracker [04:17] keystr0k: try "man tar" for real fun. It doesn't even mention half the options, and then tells you that it's incomplete and out of date, and then tells you that "info tar" is not available for licensing reasons :D [04:18] keystr0k: I think RMS didn't like man - he invented "info" [04:18] <_Zeus_> rms... [04:18] <_Zeus_> stallman [04:18] _Zeus_, is there a pastebin type program for *buntu that i can use to dump some info to show you what im seeing [04:18] <_Zeus_> !paste [04:18] 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) [04:18] ahh [04:18] k [04:20] hi, guys... quick question about graphics and python. When I try to go into 3d mode on the Ubuntu native chess program, it tells me that it's unable to play in 3d mode due to the following problems: no Python openGL support and no python GTKGLExt support. what should I get to fix these problems? [04:20] I've installed the b43 driver for my Asus WL-138G V2 wireless card, and I can at least attempt to connect with nm-applet. However, it's never able to connect to it, it just keeps trying and trying and then asks for the password even when I supply the right one. I've double checked and it's supposed to be WEP 64/128-bit Hex on an open system. [04:20] <_Zeus_> Tanalark: install those packages [04:20] how do i partition a external hard drive with out wiping the files it has on it? [04:20] <_Zeus_> gamemaster: gparted [04:20] I don't think it's range either. I tried it sitting next to the router and the same thing happened. [04:21] there are packages named GTKGLExt support and OpenGL support? [04:21] gamemaster, qtparted is easier [04:21] i bought the new ipod nano and i am trying to get it to work in virtualbox with windowsxp but it says it fails to load the usb device... help please :) [04:21] <_Zeus_> Tanalark: i'll find them [04:21] Zeus - thank you very much. [04:22] <_Zeus_> Tanalark: libgtkglext1 [04:22] <_Zeus_> that's the one package name [04:22] but will it wipe the data on it? [04:22] <_Zeus_> Tanalark: and python-opengl [04:22] <_Zeus_> gamemaster: no, not if you partition it [04:22] keystr0k: Normally with sed you would do something like: sed 's/foo/bar/' < infile > outfile [04:23] so my data will be safe [04:23] Zeus - thanks a lot, man... that's great. [04:23] <_Zeus_> Tanalark: np [04:23] keystr0k: but you cant read and write the same file there - doesn't work. sed -i lets you modify the contents of a file directly. === CyberBird_ is now known as CyberBird [04:24] on that note, to the people fielding gamemaster's question... I have almost no room remaining in my / partition. My install has a swap, a home, and a / partition... where should I free up space? [04:24] keystr0k: if you just did this it only prints the changed version, it doesn't write the changes anywhere: sed 's/foo/bar/' < infile [04:24] (I'm running a dual boot with XP and a separate "storage" partition for both OS. Ubuntu has about 10 GB of space) [04:25] ok so how do i tell it to make the partition on free space? [04:25] VSpike, I see I see. Thanks, that's pretty helpful! [04:25] <_Zeus_> Tanalark: you could use du --max-depth=1 to find out what's taking up the space [04:25] I am used to opening a file in VIM then doing :%s/foo/bar/g [04:26] Tanalark: a good place to start would be sudo apt-get clean [04:26] thanks, both of you. [04:26] keystr0k: sed is incredibly powerful but quite arcane - i always end up hitting the docs bigtime with it. There are some good pages of sed "recipes" if you google [04:26] is there a way to free up more space from my "storage" partition to put on to the / partition without erasing everything in both? [04:27] VSpike, I'll be sure to look. Seems a little better than opening a file to search through it. [04:27] so how do i make gpart make a partion on free space? [04:27] hmm... also, Chess is still saying no GTKGLExt support. [04:27] anyone know how to get to the value at /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/inniate_edge? [04:27] <_Zeus_> Tanalark: sorry, no idea [04:27] Thanks anyway, Zeus. [04:28] you've already been a help. [04:31] how do i make a partition on free space? [04:31] _Zeus_, http://pastebin.com/m758e1d5e [04:31] ? [04:32] <_Zeus_> Hix-Nix: whoa [04:32] <_Zeus_> you god problems [04:32] hahaha [04:32] yeah, your tellin me [04:32] <_Zeus_> s/god/got/ [04:32] <_Zeus_> wow [04:32] my dr cant even start to fix them [04:32] heh. [04:32] <_Zeus_> can anyone figure that out? [04:32] its a fresh LAMP server install [04:32] what im trying to do is get this dang program installed [04:33] ive been tring for over a week now and its driving me nuts [04:33] can some won drop me a link on how to make a partition on free space [04:33] and yes, im following the program dev's instructions to the T [04:33] Is Thunderbird the preferred mail client in Ubuntu? [04:33] so.. next question... what's a good place to find quality backgrounds and themes for Ubuntu? Gnome-art has nothing but gnome themes, and it's kind of lame, to be honest. PCLOS had repos built into their display dialogs, so it was a lot easier. [04:33] what app can i use to check md5 sum of a previously burned disk with the iso downloaded ? [04:34] finally [04:34] so _Zeus_... how much of a pain does this look like? [04:34] Hix-Nix: Maybe search http://search.cpan.org/ for the packages [04:34] i got a lil problem with some slave ntfs hard drives if any gurus are around to help? [04:34] genii okay, will do. thanks [04:34] T_T [04:35] I downloaded an install cd and i want to know how i can test to see if it corrupted during download or burn [04:35] et [04:35] <_Zeus_> !md5 | Spragie [04:35] Spragie: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [04:35] Tanalark: try df -h [04:35] Tanalark: oops, nvm [04:35] :) [04:36] thanks anyway. [04:36] how do i stop xchat automatically opening this chanenl when i hit connect? [04:36] _Zeus_: ty [04:36] * Hix-Nix sighs... [04:36] damn nix [04:37] I had windows xp on my computer with 2 NTFS slave drives. I formatted to ubuntu and used it for a while and accessed my ntfs slave drives no problem. decided to reformat back to xp today and now it says my drives are unformatted? [04:37] Hix-Nix: Scratch what I just said. See post 2 of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=127328 instead [04:39] i almost got my xorg file working [04:39] http://pastebin.com/m6e3acdd5 [04:39] Rapture: maybe you could brute force fix. Use a livecd to get access, and transfer the files bit by bit to places that windows can get to. Then let windows format the drives... and move the files back [04:39] genii, i havent the slightest what your trying to point out... but, okay. [04:39] but i cant access my left monitor when i turn it cck [04:39] i can access the left monitor [04:39] is there a way to get ubuntu to stop asking me for my password everytime I want to do something ... I know its not asking for the root PWD so really whats the point [04:39] and the top monitor is okay [04:39] so wtf am i doing wrong [04:39] dquestio1s: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:41] Daft_Punk, virtualbox ose has no usb support [04:41] donavan_: what are you doing that requires a password?

[04:43] Venin, if you want it to be permanent cli is easiest way to go imo [04:43] Hix-Nix: I'm doing apt-cache search using like: gnupg for that one and grepping for perl [04:43] what do u use to convert .avi - dvd [04:43] ahhh! ive been wondering how to search in ubuntu... im a gentoo convert [04:43] danbh: but thats just it if I go into the shell and do an su my password is different than the one it wants for everything else [04:43] m3thod, devede can do it [04:44] thanx [04:44] np [04:44] already got it [04:44] lol [04:44] bazhang: but on my previous computers the iwconfig had lots of info without me doing anything.. why isnt it like that now? did hardy change that? [04:44] donavan_: I dont follow [04:44] just never used it [04:44] Venin, you have more AP around now? if you read the link I gave you you should understand more clearly [04:45] bazhang, i am not using ose virtuabox [04:45] bazhang: what do you mean more AP? [04:45] Hix-Nix: The naming conventions seem to be pretty much same...so DBD::SQLite becomes libdbd-sqlite-perl etc etc like so [04:45] Venin, more wifi hotspots [04:45] anyone try Google Chrome in ubuntu? Is it worth downloading from Codeweavers? [04:45] bazhang: some, yes [04:45] genii, ahh, makes good sense [04:45] danbh: if I open a terminal session and enter the command su (for root access) I use one password but when I am asked for the password when I do an update or install I use the same password as my account login [04:46] I want a terminal-based song tagger. Anyone know one?

I'm wondering if its ok, when running updates, to allow for the linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-21-eeepc when I'm running the 8.04.1 with the modified kernel from "adam" [04:46] bazhang: iwlist eth1 ap gives eth1 Interface doesn't have a list of Peers/Access-Points [04:46] i thought that should give me the list of accesspoints [04:46] !root > donavan_ [04:46] donavan_, please see my private message [04:46] donavan_: read that, it should help you out [04:47] goat|lappy, highly doubtful; that is a custom kernel and wont play nice with others [04:47] isn't that package just the modules to the kernel, not the kernel itself? [04:47] well, i guess they go hand in hand [04:48] thanks bazhang [04:48] np [04:48] damn computer world, never know it all. just swapped over to ubuntu (hardy) like a whole we it is another o/s [04:50] for some bizarre reason, all of my fonts are huge and no window titles or borders come up for any of my applications...

[04:50] n00b: yes [04:50] does the compiz benchmark take the system to it's maximum ability, or does it just show what the current system load is? [04:50] danbh: I'm reading the webpage however it is wrong .... according to it I can use the 'su' command well I hate to tell it but I can I use it often as a matter of fact [04:50] is it possible to just upgrade without losing my files? [04:50] anyone have any idea how to fix my issue w/ the large fonts and no window manager dealios?

[04:51] aww man :/ [04:51] danbh: sorry it says I can;t but really can [04:51] noob, install the new version in a different partition and choose the migrate files and settings option when it asks you, then once you have the new isntall up and running, remove the old partition and resize the new one [04:51] Hix-Nix: Nice [04:52] whats the command to search apt-get ? [04:52] I'm getting weird font issues in Freemind, a java app. Fonts are not vertically centred on the map. Each line takes more space than there is text, if that makes sense.

Just wondering if I'm missing something? [05:03] It's a .wav file, but the size is about 8mb [05:03] is there some compression I need to do? [05:03] @DrDerek I bet there is a limitation on file size for system sounds [05:04] how can i access the value at /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/inniate_edge? [05:04] @DrDerek try making a sound <= 1mb, and see if that works [05:04] use the ubuntu satanic edition login/logout sounds, they are great [05:04] I'll see. [05:04] :P [05:05] Azlx: that warning is harmless [05:05] yeah, but its not letting my compiz run [05:06] no it's not [05:06] i dont care, i just want to know how to fix it anyideas, if i can get to it, i can fix it.

[05:09] jasuus, opening attachments can reveal your machine stats to the sender [05:10] there is a command, or a way to access that point, someone has told me it before, its how i fixed it the first time, but i was an idiot for not writing it down, now i cant fix it again, and the person that told me is not on... [05:10] co ai nguoi Viet o day ko nhi? [05:10] Azlx: fixing that will not fix compiz [05:11] it will fix what is wrong with it, it did the first time, trust me i know, it worked after i did it, i just want to know how to do it again.

[05:57] if i dont have the usb key in.. grub fails to start === xiangfu__ is now known as xiangfu [05:57] even though ive set my computer to boot SSD first and then USB [05:57] yes example :: W: Failed to fetch http://repoubuntusoftware.info/./libberylsettings0_0.3.0+git20070324~3v1ubuntu4_i386.deb [05:57] 404 Not Found [05:58] of course! if grub is installed in the usb drive, it's certainly going to fail [05:58] Venin, because grub was installed to the drive (not usb) [05:58] happens to everything i try to download on there [05:58] Stupendoussteve: yeah.. i dunno why that happened [05:58] wallrus, if grub were installed to the usb drive it would not come back if the drive were unplugged [05:58] wallrus, grub will fail if it cannot find a kernel [05:58] tritium, do you happen to know what I can use equivalent to cat x > /dev/dsp because that doesnt seem to work anymore [05:58] Stupendoussteve: yeh [05:59] Venin, if you use super grub disk from a floppy or something you can fix the windows bootloader so it will boot windows without the usb key [05:59] DualBootNN--> it is indeed not there, I checked, use another repo or pick another package to download [05:59] and then figure out something to put on the usb key to boot it [05:59] gah [05:59] is there an IDE for actionscript 3.0? [05:59] Stupendoussteve: i dont have external floppy, nor optical drive [05:59] I see, how did you even get windows on there? [06:00] Stupendoussteve: can it be used on usb key instead? [06:00] It's possible [06:00] windows was on it [06:00] afallenhope--> perhaps ask in #windows? thats a windows product isnt it? [06:00] scratch that .. i found that the sever it downloads from is down says it should have been back 5 days ago, guess i will have to learn manual install untill it is back up thanks anyway amnado [06:00] but why cant i use linux to fix the mbr or something? [06:01] if you don't have the windowx cd just use a bootdisk [06:01] make sure it has fdisk [06:01] i dont understand why it cant be done from linux or windows, heh [06:02] not sure how I got it working, but I got the sound start up working. [06:02] quit [06:02] this is the file I made -- http://drdereklive.net/downloads/mp3s/SPhaha.WAV [06:02] hey is anyone famililar with removing chromium crossover from 8.04? [06:02] Venin, it is possible to do so with syslinux [06:02] it's from the Pi movie soundtrack [06:02] Hi all I installed a second OS(Fedora 9) in a partition in another Hard Disk, but the grub of fedora got installed in that partition, I am not able to boot into fedora, can someone help me please? [06:02] I'm trying to set up vnc4server. A tutorial tells me to edit /etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc but /xinetd.d/ does not exist. Can anyone help? [06:02] hey is there an IDE / Program with syntax highlighting and code completion, as well as smart code (the things where you type like window. and it pops up the functions/methods available) [06:02] Venin, the super grub disk just puts a syslinux bootloader on there that will load the windows bootloader... like grub does but doesn't need linux kernel [06:02] f|uke, it's /etc/init.d [06:02] madraz, you gotta boot from the partition grub is installed in [06:02] no x [06:03] Stupendoussteve: i really dont want a bootloader [06:03] f|uke, there's no "X" so it's /etc/init.d/xvnc [06:03] wallrus: how to do that? [06:03] madrazr--> you can use ubuntu grub to point to fedora 9 partition [06:03] Thanks :) [06:03] having problems removing a web browswr can anyone help me out? [06:03] anyone know how to mount FreeNAS with NFS and ubuntu? [06:04] amnado: I did that, but it says it cannot mount the partition [06:04] :( [06:04] madrazr--> you have to have an entry in your /etc/fstab to have it mounted at boot [06:04] Venin grub is on your disk and cannot be uninstalled [06:04] need a different loader that acts transparently [06:04] amnado: no [06:05] madrazr--> no what? [06:05] anyone i need help removing a web browser i installed in 8.04 [06:05] BTW to boot ubuntu from the usb stick I would use one of the syslinux programs as well [06:05] Stupendoussteve: whaaat [06:05] amnado: sorry, I thought you were asking me [06:05] ughhh, trying to find some what to limit my kids when they can login and use the computer, any ideas? [06:05] f|uke, no prob. [06:05] so only way to remove grub is to format the main SSD? [06:05] Venin, or use an alternative [06:05] what does /usr/local/sbin/mount.nfs: not using string [06:06] dfgas--> have each child their own account [06:06] Venin, syslinux will load the windows bootloader, it is transparent [06:06] hm [06:07] amnado, i want to limit the times, for example, 8am-9pm any other time they can not login/auto login and if they are logged in they get booted off [06:07] does anyone have experience with mounting FreeNAS NFS shares? [06:08] dfgas--> i think there is a pam module for restricting logon time [06:09] amnado: what should the entry in fstab look like? UUID=xxx / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [06:09] is this right? [06:10] dfgas--> http://www.novell.com/communities/node/3778/pam-pluggable-authentication-module-tricks [06:10] what about the mount point? [06:11] madrazr--> i dislike using UUID, i use something like /dev/sdc2 /opt ext2 defaults 1 2 [06:11] amnado: ok fine. The mount point should be something other than / right? since Ubuntu also mounts to / [06:11] ? [06:12] madrazr--> that should be an entry in your fedora's /etc/fstab and use / [06:12] hi [06:12] dfgas: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/security/?p=319 [06:13] @help [06:13] i can't delete files on my windows partition [06:14] mircahlic--> as root -- you can [06:14] amnado: but that entry exists in fedora's fstab, ouch, I thought you were asking me to add that partition's entry in Ubuntu's fstab [06:14] why does this have to be so hard :[ [06:14] then should the Ubuntu's fstab be untouched? [06:14] mircahlic can you move files to/from there? [06:15] Hey is there any way to make the download of apt-get resumeable [06:15] diva [06:15] msg nickserv identify simplythebest [06:16] can I configure my ubuntu pc to connect to 2 gateways??

[06:17] i installed kde, but i like gnome better, but now all the programs in gnome are all K type [06:17] how can i get rid of that and get it back to normal [06:17] !puregnome | firestorm [06:17] firestorm: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [06:18] amnado: http://paste.ubuntu.com/55519/ [06:18] Hey is there any way to make the download of apt-get resumeable [06:18] Hey is there any way to make the download of apt-get resumeable [06:18] Hey is there any way to make the download of apt-get resumeable [06:18] Ujjwol: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:18] i was on an ssh session when my terminal crashed. Now i can't connect to it again. Is that usual??? [06:18] cool thanks [06:18] Legendario, maybe it crashed because the ssh server went down? [06:19] firestorm, no. it was the terminal which went down [06:19] madrazr--> your mistake is you have it as /media/ grub only looks in /boot [06:19] oie [06:19] what would be my NIC interface ? [06:19] in /dev [06:19] does anybody listen me [06:19] Hey is there any way to make the download of apt-get resumeable [06:20] amnado: It was /boot before, I just changed it now to try [06:20] amnado: I was getting the error, i.e cannot mount partition when it was /boot [06:20] Legendario--> perhaps the whole system is down and not allowing any other ssh in ? [06:20] Ujjwol: it already is. Partial downloads are kept in /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/ [06:20] question will uninstalling the kde mess up my compiz effects or anything? [06:20] sledge: it's not in /dev/ [06:20] tritium: why not , thats the directory for all devices [06:21] madrazr--> you have to look at your (hd1,0) and see if it does have the /boot [06:21] amnado, but the host is still responding to ping [06:21] is ti possible to configure two (2) gateways?? [06:21] amnado: yes it does have /boot it has /boot/grub/menu.lst too [06:21] sledge: yes, but not network interfaces [06:21] Legendario--> perhaps the ssh service is down temporarily? [06:22] how can i mount it as root user? [06:22] sledge: any network interfaces your system recognizes should be listed via "ifconfig" [06:22] madrazr--> rerun grub and do the find /boot steps... [06:22] amnado: it returns only one partition [06:22] tritium: well im running Wireshark and its not giving me any interface options, so i was going to enter it manually [06:23] amnado: the one which has Ubuntu installed [06:23] i.e (hd0, 6) [06:23] amnado, how does it happen? [06:23] Legendario: ssh -v will give you lots of debug about what ssh is doing [06:24] madrazr--> why would you go to hd0,6 if your fedora is in hd1,0 ? [06:24] is it possible to setup 2 gateways in single machine ?? [06:24] tritium: oh i put in ETH0 [06:24] and it worked [06:24] Greetings Friends, I have a folder name "my pic". I want to navigate it through terminal "cd my pic" is not working. What would be the correct command??? [06:24] Legendario--> it has some features that prevents attacks, too many successive logon attempts are blocked [06:25] amnado: (hd0, 6) is my Ubuntu, (hd1, 0) is my fedora. when I run find /boot/grub/stage1 in grub. it returns only (hd0, 6) [06:25] sledge: good [06:25] r2s its possible, its up to you then to make sure it take the correct route [06:25] is there command line irc client for ubuntu [06:25] madrazr--> hang a few.. [06:25] what are the names for the localization packages of firefox? like firefox-i18n-el ? [06:25] kushalsejwal: cd "my pic" would be the easiest. [06:25] Ujjwol: irssi [06:25] who are you? [06:25] where are you? [06:25] thanks [06:25] amnado: I did not get you :( [06:25] thanks losher [06:26] madrazr--> http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm [06:26] who can do me a favor? [06:26] adding another gateway in route doesn't not working [06:26] soneil : Thanks mate, it worked, so from now on any folder name with space in between had to be written in quotes "" right ? [06:26] amnado, so i better wait a bit and try it again later... right? [06:26] if my first gateway was down.. the pc doesn't connect to 2nd gateway automatically [06:26] Legendario--> yeah wait for a few and retry [06:27] i think i mount it already [06:27] kushalsejwal: sure. you can put \ infront of difficult characters too, so my\ pic would work, soneil\'s\ pic would work, etc. but full quotes is usually easiest [06:27] double clicking on drives in file browser brings icon on desktop [06:27] does that mean its mounted? [06:27] wow kde adds a lot [06:27] r2s thats where you have to use the magic of ip route 2 [06:27] also mp3s wont work even tho i installed the mp3 support [06:28] in rhythm anyway [06:28] amnado: how? [06:28] soneil : okay I would prefer quotes :D [06:28] so IRC is a internet protocol [06:28] hi [06:28] amnado: currently im just using a script to auto reconfigure route table [06:28] amnado, do u have a tought about how long [06:29] !wine [06:29] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux.

[06:34] you don't change drives.. you go to the directory where the drive is mounted [06:34] well, thanks amnado [06:34] Legendario: my anti-ssh script allows 5 tries and then bans addresses for 5 days! [06:34] how to change flv informations like artist album and the like in ubuntu? I can change that kind of infos in mp3 s using rythmbox. [06:34] flvs don't have id3 tags ubuntu_todd [06:35] wallrus: so there is no way to change that? [06:35] there's no 'that' [06:35] wallrus: if you don't use other softwares [06:35] losher, but does it do that if you go down suddenly [06:36] Legendario--> i dont have an idea how long [06:36] Legendario: no, it only does that to clients who fail login. Which as you point out, isn't what you did. [06:37] Legendario: If I had to guess, their ssh server has crashed. That's quite rare, though... [06:37] Legendario: what site are you trying to access?

Not much you can do about that remotely. You need to talk to the machine's admin [06:46] goto add remove progs and search ntfs add the NTFS config tool [06:46] ok losher, thanks a lot. [06:46] is it possible to find out which devices are not powering down during suspend? in ubuntu? [06:46] I'm wondering if perhaps my onboard wireless just died on me [06:47] mirachlic it will let enable read write in ntfs partition [06:47] If I compile packages from source (e.g. httpd), will those packages be excluded from ubuntu's automatic [security] updates?

It sounds like there is an option for doing updates, even on packages not installed via apt-get ? [06:51] linguini: I think it depends on how you install the software. If you make a package and dpkg -i then I think the system will be able to track it [06:51] anyone know what is /usr/local/sbin/mount.nfs: not using string [06:52] linguini: if you install a package by compiling it from source or with some extra .deb file, there is no way for it to be updated automatically through apt [06:52] generic i guess its already installed [06:52] its checked already [06:52] Ah, thanks jim_p. So: ./configure --stuff && make install --> No security warnings for this package ? [06:53] linguini: no [06:53] jim_p: doesn't apt use dpkg 'under the covers'? [06:54] losher: yes, but when apt upgrades the only thing it can see is the repos [06:54] ugg why is it so hard for my wife xp computer to see my printer i try every thing [06:54] losher: apps compiled from source are not included there [06:54] ecept the righ tthing [06:54] beryl help ?? [06:55] sjea: what printer? did you use samba? [06:55] yes samba is installed on my unbuntu box [06:55] jim_p: I thought apt would compare the installed version against the repo and only update if the repo version is newer? And it uses dpkg to do the check? [06:55] all my linux computers see it [06:55] just not that stuped xp [06:56] sjea: is it on the same wworkgroup?? [06:56] 'make -install' # typically does dpkg -i? [06:56] losher: i will answer in a sec [06:56] help pls [06:56] just wanna delete this damn file on my windows partition [06:56] linguini: no! it just installs avoiding dpgk [06:57] i have tryed typing url and simple browes [06:57] misspell [06:57] mee too i just would like the bling to work [06:57] in workgroup [06:57] linguini: no, make install just copies files into the right places. But 'checkinstall' will build a package and then you can use dpkg -i to install it [06:57] hello, anyone know how to get Ubuntu mounting FreenNAS over NFS? [06:58] And as long as I use dpkg -i , I will be automatically warned about known vulnerabilities? [06:58] linguini: using a package is better, because you can remove it later just by doing dpkg -r [06:59] losher linguini : if a package is not in the repositories, it wont get security upgrades. [07:00] you will have to upgrade it yourself every time, or keep a local "repo" [07:00] when i click on workgroup it does not open to anything [07:00] linguini, in so far as there is updates for the package and the version is still supported yes - remember it is aways a moving ball [07:01] jim_p: I agree, if a package isn't in the repository, obviously you won't get any kind of update. But what if you build your own version of something that's also in the repo? Will it ever get updated? [07:01] help [07:01] !anyone | firestorm_ [07:01] firestorm_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:01] i have 2 keys on either side of my up key, they look like forward and back key [07:02] i had change 1 desktop left and right to those keys [07:02] fuck [07:02] on the assign list its like XF86Back [07:02] but they dont seem to work anymore [07:02] any thought on this [07:03] when i try to reassign it in compiz it says disabled [07:03] i think ubuntu is asigning them a new key name thingy [07:03] losher: no you still depend on the repo for upgrades. lets say i install opera from its .deb file. apt will inform itself like so "a package named opera was installed from a .deb file FOUND ON THIS COMPUTER". next i will go and put opera's repo in sources.list. apt will still ignore it because it was installed locally and it will "say" its up to you yo upgrade it [07:04] anyone know whats going on? [07:05] jim_p: informative, thank you. linguini: why are you building your own httpd? [07:05] jim_p losher : I'm more concerned about being notified of security updates than having their application be easy (automatic). [07:05] losher: the other way round, if i install a package from a repo and, for some reason, disable that repo. apt will say "this package is not on my database right now, so this means IT WAS INSTALLED LOCALLY" [07:05] firestorm_, I use ssh keys the whole time, and I have no context for your question [07:05] well [07:05] i have new info [07:06] they used to be assigned to XF86Back [07:06] but upon reassigning it sets them to something else [07:06] like oxea [07:06] 0xe9 [07:06] firestorm_, xf86back has no context [07:06] well it used to work on my computer [07:06] its a custom key [07:06] losher: Because I've already built it on another non-Debian host, and was thinking I would like to keep a bundle of tarballs and installation instructions for building everything necessary for the company I work for.

[07:07] lg [07:07] But, it sounds like 'apt-get' is the expected way on ubuntu... [07:08] linguini: you can compile from source everytime, make them into a .deb, and keep a local repo [07:09] anyone know of an app that video captures, like Fraps or something? [07:09] i got this [07:09] i think this is the root of the problem [07:09] xmodmap: unable to open file '/home/firestorm/.Xmodmap' for reading [07:09] xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting. [07:09] hosstest: capture the desktop or capture in general? [07:10] how do i see what the error was [07:10] jim_p: Like actually video capture, like see everything that I do on the desktop and apps that I am in. [07:10] linguini: and use apt to update [07:10] hosstest: instabul i think [07:10] jim_p: Would apt update only with respect to my local repo? [07:11] jim_p: Thanks, I will check it out. [07:11] linguini: fair enough, but once you use a particular source, you're sort of committed to keeping track of security updates to the code yourself. That's a burden... [07:11] linguini: apt will look at all versions of the packages and update to the most recent [07:13] hi [07:13] hosstest: i am wrong. look at recordmydesktop and some frontend [07:13] losher: True. I hadn't figured out a non-os-specific security warning/update strategy... [07:13] need help [07:13] how do i change drives in Terminal? [07:14] mircahlic, you just mount a drive you want to use on the existing directory structure [07:14] hosstest: and its istaNbul [07:15] do i have to mount it in terminal too?

[07:16] thanks [07:16] How to generate pdf from manual? I mean things like this: man ffmpeg | .pdf [07:16] hai [07:16] However, I don't understand what a "local repo" is exactly, or .deb files.

If I hit something where I absolutely need to compile from source, then I can look into the "local repo" / make my own .deb options.

[07:17] why [07:17] ferronica you would need root pword [07:17] i can edit it without sudo :( [07:17] losher: Right... [07:17] or man ffmpeg > .pdf?

[07:35] etag, mine is or use the main server [07:35] acp:yes i selected that its not taking main server as well [07:35] joankil123: some things just don't work in wine.

"/media/dis...01USA8.EXE" cannot be deleted because it is on a read-only disk. [07:36] if i use virtualbox, do i have to have my own windows install cd? [07:36] joanki123: then its either ff with wine (small possibility of working right) or virtualization (100% possibillity if you set it up right). there is NO wine alternative for the job. all others like cedega or crossover office depend on wine [07:36] etag, how about other countries?, select others and chose from there [07:36] thanks, jim_p [07:36] acp: trying [07:36] etag, chose you think your country is close [07:36] joanki123: about that cd, no [07:36] i installed virtualbox before, but the sound wouldn't come out, jim_p [07:36] acp: ok thanks ...i am trying [07:36] no? then how do i install windows on virtualbox/ [07:37] ops I meant near [07:37] can some one help me please?

[07:37] for some reason i had problems with sound with virtualbox [07:37] jim_p, do you recommend virtualbox the most? [07:38] sja, ntfs [07:38] acp:i tried select best server and its not recognizing any thing i dont know why...because internet is working [07:38] honestly, my hardy is just.... BUGGY [07:38] freezes all the time [07:38] firefox in linux freezes ALL the time [07:38] joanki123, what a problem with sound? final vbox working correctly [07:38] acp: i have to check my firewall and internet connect wait [07:38] mircahlic, you installed packets ntfs and ntfs-3g ? [07:38] joanki123: yes. if you have the $$ go for vmware workstation [07:39] how much? [07:39] and if i pay the money and the sound still doesn't work, i'd be REAL mad [07:39] sja, i dont know about ntfs-3g.. never heard of that.. i guess its ntfs [07:39] sja, no sound [07:39] ok i got it working [07:39] joanki123: why does a native linux app freeze? i dont know the exact price for vmware workstation. vmware server is free though [07:39] joanki123, you have sound in linux? choose sound driver in settings OS in vbox [07:39] sja: i am using live cd [07:39] firefox just crashes a LOT [07:40] my computer freezes a lot, too [07:40] sja, i have sound in linux [07:40] mircahlic, ok. you install ntfs packet, yes? you write sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdaX /media/disk ?

[08:18] amanu: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/change-from-kdm-to-gdm-547964/ [08:19] may be due to packages i installed for kubuntu desk were broken [08:19] Paddy_EIRE: thats why grepping is good and less is handy to slow the scrolling [08:19] ah [08:19] Paddy_EIRE: its another option though :) [08:19] sancho21: meaning you unmounted it?

I'm working with the intel pro/Wireless 3945 ABG card... apparently there's a known issue with it, and i'm trying to find a fix or a workaround.

[08:26] firestorm: NiceGuy on that forum has the solution [08:26] Tanalark: does it require any firmware files? [08:26] ActionParsnip:can i edit that from tty? [08:26] ok now it started storage device manager [08:26] is there any way to throttle bandwidth for apt-get? [08:26] so whats next? [08:26] ya [08:26] i see now [08:26] ActionParsnip: I'm not sure. I am a very new user and barely know how to use a command line. [08:26] amanu: yes, use nano like i said, and like you said [08:26] I'm just now getting used to the idea of sudo [08:27] problem is the resource is still availiable [08:27] but whatever [08:27] ok [08:27] Tanalark: id get websearching, you might need a irmware file somewhere to get good signal [08:27] can anyone at all answer my question?

[08:27] apt-get rem gnome-desktop-environment will it purge gnome so i can go get gnome core? [08:27] Tanalark: give it a go, it might help [08:28] shouldnt it remount it Paddy_EIRE? [08:28] Jeatin: no, your settings are in ~/ which are untouhed [08:28] I don't know how to use them. [08:28] I'm sorry... i'm a pretty total newbie. [08:28] firestorm: try and see [08:28] Tanalark: then find out. [08:28] well clearly its not remounting [08:28] is there any way to throttle bandwidth for apt-get? [08:28] fair enough. [08:28] Tanalark: what wifi do you have according to lspci and lsusb? [08:28] firestorm: I have no way of knowing what your .gtk-bookmarks look like unless you pastebin it [08:28] but ud think if its in your bookmarks it would try for a remount [08:29] got a question i previously has a dual booth ubuntu as my primary OS and vista the secondary then i re install my vista and my boothloader is not working anymore, when i re start my laptop it goes directly to vista [08:29] is there any reason apt-get update is not able to resolve servers? i have internet (i am on it on this computer, & it was working fine before) [08:29] i am in the recovery mode [08:29] btw [08:29] ActionParsnip: it started storage device manager [08:30] i imagine it just plain can't access servers. but is there something i need to enable in order to do that?

[09:01] * ActionParsnip is confused [09:02] how to empty text file from console? [09:02] !debports [09:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about debports [09:02] ActionParsnip: I wanna know if I am on a dedicated server or it's a VpS [09:02] error404notfound: what is a vps? [09:02] ActionParsnip: Virtual private Server ? [09:02] back... [09:03] kibibyte: you could remove the file then use touch to create it [09:03] * Tanalark sighs. [09:03] ferronica: show me how you are trying to do this? [09:03] ActionParsnip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_server [09:03] error404notfound: oh like a vmware system [09:04] I just figured out how to open the readme file.. [09:04] Tanalark: wtg :D [09:04] ActionParsnip: yes... its not a real server, though you do use real hardware, but a part of it... [09:04] sudo apt-get reinstalling now.. :P [09:04] it helped that I was able to figure out that the basic text-editor is called gedit. [09:04] thanks. :) [09:04] error404notfound: yeah we have thousands of those things [09:04] Paddy_EIRE: "sudo chmod 555 /boot" and the output "drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 2008-10-09 12:32 grub" [09:04] ActionParsnip: can i download the repositories from somewhere? or should i wait, if you're still making them.. [09:04] ferronica: why are you changing the permissions of /boot? [09:05] lakitu: just getting on my box now [09:05] ActionParsnip: so what I am interested in to verify the claim of the host that it's a dedicated server/REAL server not VPS [09:05] ok... this is what it says: [09:05] ActionParsnip: ok, thanks a lot man [09:05] here we go again.. [09:05] You can determine if your kernel currently has firmware loader support [09:05] by looking for the CONFIG_FW_LOADER definition on your kernel's [09:05] .config. [09:05] hope I dont leave now.. [09:05] ActionParsnip: & this will make it so apt-get can update? [09:05] oh.. crap.. sorry. [09:05] Paddy_EIRE: i trying to do rx for user, [09:05] lakitu: http://pastebin.com/f7654b79b [09:05] Paddy_EIRE: im assuming i have to restart samba for the change to take effect? how do i do that without logging out [09:05] * ActionParsnip loves pastebinit [09:05] but I don't know how to look for the config_fw_loader definition on my kerne's .config [09:05] ferronica: ah ok.. not a good idea [09:06] firestorm: yes [09:06] firestorm: 1 sec [09:06] ActionParsnip: what do i do with that? [09:06] lakitu: i'd just add those lines to your file. Make sure the last one has a carridge return on the end. You'll need gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.lst to add them [09:06] Paddy_EIRE: right now it is like this which i don't want--> "drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 2008-10-09 12:32 grub" [09:06] ActionParsnip: to what file? [09:06] firestorm: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart === Superfly__ is now known as Superfly- [09:07] lakitu: read what i said [09:07] why does stupid firefox3 when i restart seem to think that i'm "working offline" i have to go file>uncheck-workingoffline [09:07] cya hartsantler [09:07] ok, to sources.lst? [09:07] ferronica: this sounds rather messy.. the defaults are fine and you really should not edit anything in /boot as a normal user [09:07] Paddy_EIRE: but i unable to do as root :( [09:07] hmm === creaux_ is now known as creaux [09:07] does anyone know what debports is? [09:08] hartsantler: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+faq/96 [09:08] (repost from broken paste out of readme) You can determine if your kernel currently has firmware loader support by looking for the CONFIG_FW_LOADER definition on your kernel's .config. so how do I find that? [09:08] hartsantler: its fairly common [09:08] ferronica: well that is what I originally asked.. how did you try to access those files to begin with? [09:08] !find debp [09:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about find debp [09:08] Paddy_EIRE: but this is default dont know it comes [09:08] hmm [09:08] apparently I also have to have working hotplug and udev infrastructure configured. Apparently this is very distro-specific. [09:09] Paddy_EIRE: any idea? [09:09] ActionParsnip: so add them to sources.lst? [09:09] lakitu: yes, then run sudo apt-get update [09:09] Paddy_EIRE: sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found, there doesnt appear to be a samba folder/file in init.d [09:09] Paddy_EIRE: how to make it default? [09:09] ActionParsnip: k sorry thanks [09:10] lakitu: np [09:10] <_coredump_> moinsen [09:10] firestorm: Try System->Administration->Services then uncheck/check the box for Samba. [09:12] so quiet [09:12] theres no samba on the list, i know i can just logout but i want to be able to restart things without relogging [09:12] firestorm: is samba installed? [09:12] firestorm: yes I can understand that [09:13] was wondering the same ActionParsnip [09:13] ActionParsnip: yes [09:13] well [09:13] hm [09:13] are there any good html/wysiwyg editors for ubuntu ? [09:13] ive been using it [09:13] firestorm: sudo apt-get --reinstall install samba [09:13] firestorm: just to check [09:13] !info kompozer | Xcerca [09:13] zend is good~~ [09:13] xcerca: kompozer (source: kompozer): Complete Web Authoring System. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.7.10-0ubuntu4 (hardy), package size 8438 kB, installed size 26008 kB [09:13] well, thanks.. I think i'm about to call it quits for the night. [09:13] well i havent manually installed it, doesnt it come with hardy? [09:13] firestorm: no [09:13] thx Paddy [09:13] Xcerca: sure [09:13] Tanalark: you have much websearcing to do, you could alternatively use ndiswrapper [09:14] i have been using smb:// to access my network shares so somethin must be installed [09:14] ok... how could I do that? [09:14] firestorm: no, its optional i believe [09:14] !info samba [09:14] samba (source: samba): a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix. In component main, is optional.

[09:14] it looks like my option right now is to figure out how to install a microcode into the directory for my wifi driver kernel.. (which I found, btw) [09:14] ferronica: its optional as not all users will want to share files [09:15] but i'm not quite sure how to do that.. do I just drag it into the folder and it's fine as long as it's just.. there? [09:15] or do I have to actually do something? [09:15] Tanalark: I thik its picked up when you bring the interface up [09:15] hm? [09:15] Tanalark: if you sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart you can watch what happens [09:15] I don't understand. [09:15] ferronica: sorry I can not really help with that :( [09:15] hi everyone [09:15] well im using samba to access my shares so its gotta be installed, maybe samba server isnt installed but that shouldnt matter [09:16] when i am playing songs i am not able to use skype it says audio problem on call [09:16] firestorm: if you run the command I said and its installed it will change nothing [09:16] it literally just said: * Reconfiguring network interfaces.... [OK] [09:16] in like... 1 second. [09:16] firestorm: if its not it will be installed (which is how it looks as you dont have /etc/init.d/samba) [09:16] and it was done. [09:16] how to make skype use alsa [09:16] Tanalark: try dmesg [09:17] !skype | crushy [09:17] crushy: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [09:17] well, there's quite a lot of info there.. [09:17] Tanalark: dmesg > ~/dmesg.txt; gedit ~/dmesg.txt [09:17] should I literally copy/paste that command line to the terminal? [09:18] Tanalark: indeed [09:18] oh.. I guess so. :) [09:18] ok so samba client is installed but not samba server [09:18] ok... well, now I've got a text file with a whole crap-tonne of information I don't know how to read. But I'll probably end up coming back to it tomorrow. ;) [09:18] i dont need samba server [09:19] ill just relog to restart the client [09:19] thank you very much for your help, ActionParsnip [09:19] I'm sure you'll see more of me again. [09:19] g'night. [09:19] ferronica: then chmod or chown it to your liking [09:21] ferronica: mines andy@fileserver:~$ ls -l /boot/grub/menu.lst -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4703 2008-09-28 17:49 /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:21] ferronica: just do "gksu gedit /boot/menu.lst" the same way everyone else would have done it [09:22] ok so i dont see anything in smb://mitch-pc/ even tho there are 2 shares in there, which work if i manually enter them in the path, i think it has something to do with the fact that for some reason i have to my windows username and password to access them [09:22] even tho everyone has read permissions [09:22] ahoy hoy. I'm trying to set up my old pc as a file server again. I previously set it up as a vnc host but that required me to log in on the box every time I re-started. Is there a way for me to do something similar but not have to log in? Or to trigger the login remotely and keep it running while I'm not connected so I can just connect to the open session? [09:23] ferronica: then you need to look at chmod. I gotta test some web interfaces (sorry) [09:23] I connect to it with both windows mac and ubuntu pc's [09:23] travman: you can make gdm autologin [09:23] hence vnc [09:23] ok, yeah that'd work [09:24] thanks ActionParsnip [09:24] travman: if its a fileserver only, i wouldnt have an x server on it for security [09:24] travman: and administer via ssh [09:24] some one can tell me that IBM T21 note book can install ubuntu? [09:25] ? [09:25] yeah, that'd probably be a better way of doing it, but I'm not so savy with the command prompt stuff, so having the ability to connect to a GUI and use that is pretty handy [09:27] travman: just making you aware, its your pc [09:27] is there any other way I can check connectivity to a Pc without pinging its IP? [09:27] or should I say less bandwidth than ping [09:27] Anonye gotten bzr with svn+http to work? [09:27] it only segfaults with hardy 64bit [09:27] r2s1: tracert [09:27] <[[thufir]]> bzr? [09:27] [[thufir]]: sorry. bazaar. :) [09:27] ActionParsnip, yeah, by all means thanks for the advice [09:27] ActionParsnip: hmm. sources.list? or sources.lst. there is no sources.lst there [09:27] travman: np man [09:28] I just want to create a script to check connectivity but lesser than ping [09:28] lakitu2: cd /etc/apt; ls [09:28] ActionParsnip: well, i'm using the gui, in the live cd [09:28] hi all. How can I install svga support for mplayer? I have one computer who has it, and another who doesn't. My final goal is to play movies directly from console [09:28] r2s1: pings payload is 32 bytes [09:28] ActionParsnip: because i didn't know how to get to pastebin using rootshell [09:29] (am a newb) [09:29] ActionParsnip: I intend to use the script in cron [09:29] ActionParsnip: & i am browsing that directory [09:29] there is sources.list, but not sources.lst [09:29] its a script which re-route gateway if one of our gateway was down [09:29] r2s1: at our place of work we ping every server continually, we have a few hundred thousand servers and a 1Gbps LAN [09:30] r2s1: its light enough not to impat speed [09:30] AUDIO NOT WORKING.... HELP!!!!!! [09:30] ActionParsnip: hmm ok then.. I'll try it for few days then [09:30] morningwalker: Mind your capslock. [09:30] ActionParsnip: thanks [09:30] r2s1: try it a few days and use your pc as normal [09:30] r2s1: you could even tell ping to have gaps of say 10 seconds [09:31] ActionParsnip: hmm rather... is there a better way I can configure two gateway simultaenously?? [09:31] but even on a 10mb link you could sacrifice 32 bytes [09:31] this is what it says "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." some help here would be appreciated!! [09:31] r2s1: connecting to a main switch or do you have 2 connections to the www [09:31] can i make the AWN bar be on the top instead of the bottom ? [09:32] morningwalker: do you know what sound-device is built in ? [09:32] Xcerca: its in the config i believe. Ive not used it but im sure the eyecandy freaks in #compiz will know [09:32] some VIA sound card [09:32] ActionParsnip: my main objective is to make the workstation always connected to the internet... gateway1 is on the router... and the other gateway was a linux machine with HSDPA/UMTS backup connection [09:32] it used to perfectly work in the last session of mine [09:33] !wine [09:33] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [09:33] r2s1: you could have a script to manipulate network scripts, if the link dies, swap to the other config and restart networking [09:33] r2s1: maybe [09:33] ActionParsnip: yeah.. that's what I got right now.. a script that re-route if the other gateway dies [09:33] r2s1: is your connection that flakey? [09:33] Hi, there is something seriously wrong with my ubuntu 8.04 now. When I click on the updatethingy in the lower left corner, the update window pops up for about 0.5sec then closes itself. Same thing happens when I click on the Add/Remove programs. [09:34] Fome: try in terminal: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [09:34] ActionParsnip: well not really.. it's just when I leave my office I just wanna make sure that the internet was always connected [09:34] Fome: you will get intelligent messages [09:34] r2s1: nice, redundancy rocks [09:34] ActionParsnip: yeah maybe I'll just stick to my script for a moment [09:35] though its working fine.. but I'm just looking for better alternative [09:35] hi all, can anyone help me with ufw ip ranges? [09:35] ActionParsnip: same problem [09:35] ActionParsnip: yeah anyway we're planning to have a dual WAN router... to make it easier...:) [09:35] ActionParsnip: thanks, that seems to have solved the problem [09:35] I am trying to add a rule that allows all connections from ... let's say 111.111.*.* [09:35] ahhhh... someone gime something i can to solve my problem!!!!!! [09:36] Fome: np man, cli is the way ;) [09:36] jakob: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=823741 [09:37] ActionParsnip: thanks! I have read through this. but I don't get the "from 10.0.0.0/24" [09:37] could someone tell me what the permission value of 764 is ? [09:37] what's 0/24 supposed to mean? [09:37] jakob: thats the same as accepting 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.0.255 [09:38] jakob: twenty-four bits of network mask [09:38] jakob: its a way of classing a network [09:38] jakob: what ne2k__ says [09:38] ActionParsnip: i can't repair from the CD? [09:38] lakitu2: repair what? [09:39] ActionParsnip ok, thanks a bunch, so why does is it a bad rule to say 10.0.0/24.0/24? [09:39] Am looking for a program that can do something like a mind map. But I want to be able to draw relationships between objects. Kinda like UML. Anyone know what am talking about? [09:39] ActionParsnip: either the missing packages, or the thing stopping me from apt-get update'ing the missing packages? [09:39] help, I can't install zsh-lovers [09:39] lakitu2: it looks like it cant find your servers for update. Can you ping things like www.microsoft.com [09:39] I have a weird problem with Rhythmbox 0.11.5. I have used it to subscribe to a podcast (itms://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=163031572&ign-mscache=1), and it is able to download and play the podcasts, but once it has finished downloading it says "Failed", and I can't copy the file to my iPod. if I look in the podcasts directory the file is there...

[09:42] ActionParsnip: yes, from the live cd [09:42] actionParsnip: I am trying to allow everything from within a certain Ip range (my university)... but I just realize I lack understanding of some fundamentals... I'll dive into some intro literature [09:42] thanks for all your help [09:42] jakob: and what is the ip range? [09:42] soneil, thanks [09:42] lakitu: you need to get a network connection before you can download data from the web [09:43] ActionParsnip: understood. but how [09:43] ActionParsnip: it's working in the live CD, but not my hard version [09:43] ne2k__ 131.111.*.* [09:43] What does the command "chmod a-rw" do? [09:43] ne2k__ for example [09:43] darn it [09:43] still struggling with deleting file on ntfs partition [09:44] !grub > AunVoh [09:44] please helppp [09:44] AunVoh, please see my private message [09:44] lakitu: strange, boot to harddrive. do you get dhcp? [09:44] lakitu: or does your network use static ips? [09:44] how do i mount it RW? [09:44] mircaholic: is that a problem? any error message? [09:44] ActionParsnip: am in harddrive, recovery mode, root shell [09:44] ActionParsnip: how do i tell if i get dhcp? [09:44] Slart: "/media/dis...1USA8.EXE" cannot be deleted because it is on a read-only disk. [09:44] mircaholic: you got ntfs-3g? [09:44] ActionPasnip ne2k__ thanks for your support, will pick up an network intro I guess [09:44] lakitu: ifconfig will show you [09:44] !ntfs-3g | mircaholic [09:44] mircaholic: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [09:44] its NTFS [09:44] jakob: well then you need 131.111.0.0/16 or 131.111.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 [09:44] i dont know 3g [09:45] mircaholic: you will not be able to delete files with permissions defined [09:45] ActionParsnip: ok, i did ifconfig - what am i looking for? =) [09:45] mircaholic: just so you know [09:45] Hi. I'm trying to run a Qt/embedded application that requires access to /dev/fb0. I don't have a /dev/fb0 (framebuffer). What should I do? [09:45] mircaholic: ok.. a couple of things before we continue.. if you're talking to someone in here, put their name first on the line.. much easier to follow the conversation.. when someone gives you a link with information, read it before dismissing it [09:46] Slart: and make it their exact nickname as well, not just some half-arsed attempt at typing it [09:46] ActionParsnip: it says "link encap:Local loopback" [09:46] modprobe insert_your_framebuffer_module_here [09:47] lakitu: ok thats your 127.0.0.1 device [09:47] lakitu: anything else? [09:47] ActionParsnip: it doesn't list any other "link encap"s [09:47] lakitu: try ifconfig eth0 up [09:47] lakitu: are you using a wired connection? [09:47] ActionParsnip: yes [09:47] ne2k__: ok [09:47] lakitu: do what ne2k__ said [09:48] without "up", right? [09:48] lakitu: you need to do it with up [09:48] ok, nothing happened when i typed it with up [09:48] sudo ifconfig eth0 up [09:48] Is anyone able to have flash / flex and firefox working smoothly without hung or crash 5 times a day ? [09:48] ok [09:48] i'm in root, so [09:49] or logged in as root [09:49] lakitu: thats ok then :( [09:49] hmm [09:49] loggin in as root is not advised [09:49] but anyway [09:49] ok now run ifconfig [09:49] ActionParsnip: i am in the recovery mode [09:49] ok [09:49] ah, now it shows both [09:49] lakitu: ok, thats fine [09:49] ok can you ping stuff [09:49] progress =) [09:49] trying [09:50] network is unreachable [09:50] you will want to either 1) choose an IP address, or 2) use DHCP [09:50] coulix: if yu install nspluginwrapper you can kill that if flash moans [09:50] coulix, yes, with flash 10-beta1 or 10-rc [09:50] lakitu: try this [09:50] lakitu, if you have a dhcp server on your network: dhcpcd eth0 [09:51] FatalError: what's a dhcp server? [09:51] lakitu: mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old [09:51] ActionParsnip: ok [09:51] lakitu, it's a protocol for assigning IP address, DNS, etc. It is likely that you use it on your network. [09:51] lakitu: its your router, it gives you your IP information automatically. Its an acronym for Dynamic Host ControlProtocol [09:52] ok [09:52] Configuration, but close enough [09:52] ActionParsnip: done [09:52] lakitu: ok now [09:52] lakitu: reboot [09:52] k [09:53] ActionParsnip: into recovery, right? [09:53] anyone can help me to find document about "user management in ubuntu"? please! [09:53] zj3t3mju, man adduser [09:53] anything else? [09:53] ActionParsnip: so we can apt-get update? [09:54] zj3t3mju, if that's what you mean.. also userdel, gpasswd, etc [09:54] grub has failed.. if i try to boot i get error 25: disk read error.. suggestions? [09:54] lakitu: you have just blanked off your network config. you will get a fresh one on reboot [09:54] thanks [09:54] ey.. changing root to 0,0 worked [09:54] ActionParsnip: ok, but in recovery mode, right? [09:54] I do not know why ACPI must Disabled the ubuntu just can install or run ? [09:54] help, I can't install zsh-lovers [09:55] lakitu: whatever you fancy [09:55] Someone can tell me the solution? [09:55] ActionParsnip: ok. the regular mode is effed, so i must choose recovery, because that's what i'm using to fix the regular mode [09:55] dada_: many ACPI-implementations are broken, non-standard or windows-adapted.. so not all play nice with other os's [09:55] dada_: some systems need acpi disabled to get installed but riun ok with it on with the installed system [09:56] lakitu: fine [09:56] I just tried to create a shared folder and ubuntu told me I don't have permission [09:56] ActionParsnip: dang, same problem [09:56] and to ask my administrators to give me permission [09:56] I am the administrator...

[10:04] ActionParsnip: ah ok [10:04] where was the option to be able to login as root in KDE? [10:04] lakitu: you could set it as staitic to get online [10:04] ActionParsnip: hmm (thinking) [10:04] no, in gnome [10:04] ActionParsnip, see above.. DHCP worked. [10:04] Dobriak: you dont, its the worst thing to do [10:04] BlueEagle: so whats next? [10:05] FatalError: can you ping stuff? [10:05] FatalError: is it bad if some failed? [10:05] ActionParsnip, where is the option?

[10:05] mircaholic: I'm not even sure what you're trying to accomplish. [10:05] ActionParsnip: & it downloaded most packages [10:05] Dobriak: you need to log in as you then run sudo passwd. Its your system but its really not advised or necessary as you have sudo which makes your pc more secure [10:06] ActionParsnip, ok, so , where's the option? [10:06] Dobriak: running your x server as root will make you easier to get high priveledges and can also make you damage your system [10:06] FatalError: um, http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/dists/hardy/non-free/binary-i386/packages.gz 302 found [10:06] Dobriak: like i said, log in as you run sudo passwd and you can set the root pass, then you can log on as root and break your pc all you want [10:06] ("W: failed to fetch $addr) [10:06] i give up [10:06] ActionParsnip, I just want to have the option in login screen [10:06] " [10:06] i hate linux [10:07] its not user friendly [10:07] ActionParsnip: for example [10:07] ActionParsnip: dude last thing.. is there a console command to show the current internet IP address?? [10:07] doesnt have user friendly interfaces [10:07] r2s1: ifconfig [10:07] let me try rebooting [10:07] ActionParsnip: like whatismyip.com does [10:07] I do [10:07] see if it worked [10:07] funny [10:07] lakitu, it's an HTTP error.. probably a bad URL. apt-get update, then try again [10:07] lakitu: ifconfig [10:07] ActionParsnip: I mean from workstation script [10:07] and what FatalError says [10:08] r2s1: ifconfig will only give you your internal ip.. whatismyip gives you the external ip.. they will be the same if your computer is directly connected to the net [10:08] Slart: can u help? [10:08] r2s1: you're gonna be awking like mad [10:08] mircaholic: with ntfs? [10:08] yeah [10:08] ActionParsnip: yeah that's how I see it [10:08] trying to delete this file on ntfs partition [10:08] i am using live cd tho [10:08] FatalError ActionParsnip: it dropped me without a prompt, after pinging. now it's just making weird symbols when i push left or right, etc [10:08] r2s1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=373963 [10:09] lakitu, ctrl-c [10:09] lakitu: press ctrl+c [10:09] it gets confusing when different people r replying and u dont know which one to follow [10:09] ok [10:09] ahk, actually the pinging wasn't working [10:09] 247 packets trasmitted, 0 received, etc [10:09] mircaholic: Well you do ask alot of different people. [10:09] 100% packet loss [10:09] lakitu, what were you pinging? [10:09] www.microsoft.com [10:09] mircaholic: well.. who are you talking to now? [10:10] mircaholic: you could websearch some as well as ask in here [10:10] lakitu, it doesn't respond to ping for me either. Try google.com [10:10] ah - cool. ok [10:10] i have done a lot [10:10] but its so hard [10:10] lakitu: or try ping.sunet.se [10:10] lots of linux terms r confusing [10:10] mircaholic: boot into windows to delete teh file [10:10] that seems to be working, FatalError. too early to say, tho [10:10] leave ubuntu [10:10] i can't in windows [10:10] it won't let me [10:11] lakitu, if you were able to get a 302, your networking is working fine [10:11] mircaholic: why can't you delete the file in windows [10:11] mircaholic: tried safe mode? [10:11] FatalError: ah ok. [10:11] yeah [10:11] mircaholic: did you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions ? [10:11] doesnt work either [10:11] BlueEagle: i did [10:11] mircaholic: if you can't delete the file on a native NTFS file system in windows then I would not advise trying to do it in linux [10:11] FatalError: i believe i shall reboot & see if the apt-get restored my video drivers i accidently removed [10:11] mircaholic: and after installing ntfs-3g did you mount the drive? [10:11] lakitu, ah ;P [10:11] BlueEagle: well i dont know whats next [10:11] mircaholic: my only suggestion is take out the drive and put it in another pc as a data drive then delete it [10:12] how do I autologin? [10:12] Dobriak: it's in the gdm setup [10:12] mircaholic: id also suggest a chkdsk as the data may be corrupted and unremovable because of [10:12] BlueEagle: by the way is it successfully installed? [10:12] mircaholic: either way id head over to ##windows [10:12] Dobriak: use the login window administration application [10:12] ikonia, where's that? [10:12] Dobriak: system -> administration [10:12] i did for chkdsk [10:12] mircaholic: if you try: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g and it sais it's already installed then it's installed. [10:13] Dobriak: i'll stress again, do not auto login as root [10:13] BlueEagle: i get this error ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /ntfs/mount/point [10:13] mount: can't find /ntfs/mount/point in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [10:13] oh wait [10:13] oops [10:13] ActionParsnip: dang, still no video drivers.. just a blank monitor for the drumup login [10:13] wrong one [10:13] i get this: Reading state information... Done [10:13] E: Couldn't find package ntfs-3g [10:13] mircaholic: you need to make a folder [10:14] lakitu, did that apt-get ever succeed? [10:14] so does that mean its unsuccessful? [10:14] FatalError: not the ones that didn't work [10:14] mircaholic: to mount to [10:14] mircaholic why can you not delete this file in windows ? [10:14] make folder where? [10:14] mircaholic: no it failed [10:14] on my desktop is fine? [10:14] lakitu, well, it won't install if any of them fail [10:14] are you enable any repo? [10:14] FatalError: i did modify my sources.list, so is that maybe why? [10:14] FatalError: ah ok [10:14] mircaholic: wherever you want to mount to. You can mount the ntfs folder anywhere yuo please [10:14] !repos | mircaholic [10:14] mircaholic: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [10:14] r2s1: did you want your external ip from command line? [10:14] mircaholic: id suggest using /mnt/windows [10:15] mircaholic: i'll spoonfeed you to save frustration [10:15] mircaholic: You need to enable universe I think. [10:15] r2s1: you can try running this.. "wget http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp -O - -q" [10:15] FatalError, that may need fixed -- but you need to apt-get update to make sure you have the latest packages lists.. if it still doesn't work you may need to fix sources.list to point to another location for that repo [10:15] er [10:15] lakitu, ^ [10:15] sorry, is 5 am here lol [10:15] mircaholic: what /dev is your windows partition? [10:15] whats universe now? [10:15] :\ [10:15] mircaholic: There is a lot of reading to be done when starting to use linux so please be patient. [10:15] hey i am total newb [10:15] i havent heard all these new terms [10:16] mircaholic: It's a repository. Please read the links ubottu provided. [10:16] FatalError: ok... [10:16] mircaholic: universe is a class of repository, you dont need to worry about it [10:16] Slart: thanks a lot dude [10:16] ActionParsnip, I am autologinning as root whaoha!!! [10:16] mircaholic: do you know wat /dev your windows partitin is? [10:16] i know i dont need to worry but how to enable it [10:16] that's cool [10:16] Dobriak: unlucky [10:16] Dobriak: its very not cool [10:16] r2s1: you're welcome. that url might change.. check http://www.whatismyip.com/automation.asp for info [10:16] ActionParsnip, work good [10:16] ActionParsnip: how can i find that out? [10:17] mircaholic: sudo fdisk -l [10:17] Dobriak: you'll see [10:17] ActionParsnip, hey , this is not some atomic station or a bank =) [10:17] Dobriak: ive warned you [10:17] FatalError: does that url i gave work for you? [10:17] i have sdb1,2,5,6 [10:17] yeah yeah [10:17] so how do i know which one is the one i am looking for? [10:17] FatalError: find "medibuntu" [10:17] mircaholic: which is the ntfs partition you want to mount? [10:17] lakitu, the one that gae you a 302? [10:17] yes [10:17] mircaholic: look at the disk sizes is usally a good indicator [10:17] ok, so I've booted off the live cd. I want to copy things around (I'm consolidating data) between hard drives. It's currently telling me I don't have permissions [10:18] mircaholic: which one what? repository? [10:18] mircaholic: (it really helps if you use complete sentences) [10:18] is there a way for me to chmod 777 recursive on a folder? [10:18] travman: thats reall unsecure [10:18] yeah, I know it's unsecure [10:18] travman: chmod has a -R switch [10:18] hello everybody [10:18] travman: but its your pc so here you go. chmod -R 777 ./Foldername [10:18] ok, say I don't want to chmod 777 [10:18] travman: but you already knew that... since you read the man page before asking.. right? =) [10:18] i think its dev/sda [10:18] hi there i want to install ubuntu to a usb stick i tryed this last night but it would boot to the login screen then after inputting my user name and password it would jus go to a sandy screen with a mouse pointer on it and nothing else i was able to get to a tty but not sure what to do any advise please [10:18] I've got a question [10:19] lakitu, I'm redirected to another page [10:19] travman: its a really bad idea [10:19] could I tell it to give me sudo rights through the gui file manager? [10:19] mircaholic: /dev/sda is a complete disk. What you want to do is mount a partition like /dev/sda1 [10:19] ok i have made a folder on desktop /tmp/mirca [10:19] mircaholic: sda is a physical disk, sda1 is the first partition on that disk [10:19] FatalError: ah ok. so i have an old sources.list? can i update that automagically somehow? [10:19] or do I need to use console and sudo to do all the copying? [10:19] so tell me what to do now [10:19] lakitu, you'll need to edit it yourself I think -- pastebin what you have now? [10:19] mircaholic: yu need to identify which partition name you want to mount [10:19] it has only one partition [10:19] lakitu, apt-get install pastebinit [10:20] ok [10:20] lakitu, that might help [10:20] as you have no X [10:20] ok its sda1 then [10:20] how can I change the encoding of .ass subs or the encoding in the MPlayer? [10:20] mircaholic: then its /dev/sda1 [10:20] there is no sda2 at all [10:20] mircaholic: sudo mkdir /mnt/windows/ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows [10:20] so how do i mount it to /tmp/mirca? [10:20] FatalError: ok, so pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list? [10:20] give me the complete command line in terms of my file structure [10:21] lakitu, yup [10:21] k [10:21] mircaholic: and you will be able to read the files by opening /mnt/windows [10:21] it should give a URL [10:21] mircaholic: i just did [10:21] that's so cool - ok - http://pastebin.com/f39f38760 [10:22] mircaholic: can you see how logical it is? I made a folder called /mnt/windows then mounted the partition to it [10:22] is it really making directory yet? [10:22] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /mnt/windows/ [10:22] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls [10:22] Desktop tmp [10:22] mircaholic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:22] mircaholic: ls /mnt/ [10:22] FatalError: now, you should know.. ActionParsnip had me add some lines on. about 60 [10:22] FatalError: i gave him my sources.lst file to add [10:22] now, just need to add "pastebinit" to the context menu of nautilus... ;-) [10:22] lakitu, yeah it is a nifty little tool ;P [10:23] type these all in one line?> [10:23] sudo mkdir /mnt/windows/ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows [10:23] FatalError: its not editted and uses standard hardy repos [10:23] ActionParsnip, er, but didn't he add medibuntu? [10:23] mircaholic: No, those are two commands. They both start with the same word. [10:23] so do them separately? [10:23] mircaholic: sudo mkdir /mnt/windows/; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows [10:23] you can use ; to string commands together on one line [10:23] mircaholic: sudo is a command used to gain root privileges. mkdir is a command to make a directory and mount is a command to mount a partition. === pronoy is now known as pronoy_ [10:24] mircaholic: you'd end up with some nifty-named directories if you typed all of that on one line [10:24] mircaholic: You'll get it. Practice makes perfect. [10:24] ne2k__: it'd fail due to the spaces [10:24] ;) [10:24] lakitu, wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [10:24] is it successful? [10:24] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /mnt/windows; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows [10:24] mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/windows': File exists [10:24] mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt/windows busy [10:24] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is mounted on /media/disk [10:24] mircaholic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:24] how do i make ntfs-3g a default auto-mount for the usb drives rather than ntfs? [10:24] ActionParsnip: no, it would make five directories, called /mnt/windows, sudo, mount, /dev/sda1 and /mnt/windows [10:24] lakitu, assuming you are on Hardy that is [10:24] mircaholic: then its already mounted [10:25] mircaholic: Can you please read the messages you get? [10:25] FatalError: hardy <=> 8.x, right? [10:25] mircaholic: head over to /media/disk [10:25] !3g [10:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about 3g [10:25] mircaholic: does that look better? [10:25] !ntfs-3g [10:25] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [10:25] Anarhist: yeah we're getting there === eren is now known as Guest68541 [10:25] mircaholic: "/dev/sda1 is already mounted on /media/disk". That means that the device (/dev/sda1) which you attempted to mount with "mount /dev/sda1" is already mounted on the directory "/media/disk". [10:25] Anarhist: :D [10:25] lakitu, 8.04 I believe [10:26] BlueEagle: nice overkill ;) [10:26] umm [10:26] mircaholic: Thus, if you try to go to /media/disk you will find the files on /dev/sda1 there. [10:26] i dont seem to have any sound except in rhythm.. [10:26] ActionParsnip: Sometimes a teaspoon is too big. [10:26] FatalError: i have 8.x (i don't know which version) - i got a disc, & that's what it said [10:26] AccessExcess, you mean that it's not yet possible? [10:26] BlueEagle: i know but its really frustrating [10:26] yeah i can see the files now [10:27] FatalError: i will, try tho [10:27] i assume it's hardy [10:27] mircaholic: ok now the mounting is already managed for you [10:27] ActionParsnip: I know. It's like he's a customer. [10:27] lakitu, most likely Hardy then -- cat /etc/lsb-release [10:27] !tmp [10:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about tmp [10:27] ActionParsnip: Customer is defined as "person with acute reading-disability". [10:27] !temp [10:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about temp [10:27] BlueEagle: can I msg you in pvt? [10:27] mircaholic: once you get ntfs-3g you can mount that sucker writable and delete the file (if possible) [10:27] does linux/ubuntu automatically clean /tmp at session end? [10:27] go ahead paul68. :) [10:27] I have a weird problem with Rhythmbox 0.11.5. I have used it to subscribe to a podcast (itms://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/...), and it is able to download and play the podcasts, but once it has finished downloading it says "Failed", and I can't copy the file to my iPod. if I look in the podcasts directory the file is there and plays fine in Totem. what's going on? [10:27] FatalError: yep, hardy [10:27] yao_ziyuan, yes, [10:28] mircaholic: as I said, ntfs is a proprietary POS and only MS know how it truly works [10:28] lakitu, try that command, then apt-get update, then try installing your stuff again [10:28] yao_ziyuan, it does at reboot at least [10:28] Anarhist: good [10:28] still can't delete the file [10:28] mircaholic: so if there are some weird permissions, you will not be able to remove it [10:28] mircaholic: its mounted read only right now as you dont have ntfs-3g [10:28] lakitu, if it still is broken, try commenting out the medibuntu stuff in sources.list, then try the same update/install again [10:29] rm SoundMAX.bmp [10:29] rm: cannot remove `SoundMAX.bmp': Read-only file system [10:29] i am testing on this file [10:29] so how do i mount it as writable? [10:29] it should auto mount as writable, but make sure your ntfs filesystem is "clean" [10:29] mircaholic: its mounted read only as you dont have ntfs-3g so you wont be able to delete or create ANY files [10:29] help, I can't install zsh-lovers [10:29] how to get ntfs-3g? [10:29] mircaholic: you need ntfs-3g to be able to write and delete files [10:30] mircaholic: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ntfs-config [10:30] mircaholic: also get a ubuntu book [10:30] FatalError: still same problem [10:30] this is the last two lines [10:30] Reading state information...

Try installing [10:54] ferronica: thats why sudo is failing [10:54] mircaholic: ntfs-3g is not stable enough to use for write acces in 7.04 [10:54] ikonia: how to add now student to admin group [10:54] Is it possible to install ubuntu in such a state that it'll offer to setup user accounts *after* install rather than during? (such as you'd expect to receive a new PC from a vendor) [10:54] mircaholic: youeah you're about 2 or 3 behind the rest [10:54] lakitu, or is that what you were referring to [10:54] what size of the ball is the most common for adult rugby ?

[10:55] ikonia: thats my mistake :( [10:55] lakitu, you will need to run the install first.. update just fetches the new package lists [10:55] u didnt say fiesty before :\ [10:55] mircaholic: no its feisty which is old. Hardy is much friendlier [10:55] lakitu, ah, then yes try it [10:55] FatalError: sorry, what is the command? [10:55] ok where can i download hardy? [10:55] mircaholic: you could update to hardy then try [10:55] lakitu, command for what? [10:55] mircaholic: ubuntu.com [10:55] ferronica ok - you need to boot into "recvoery" mode and type this command "usermod -G admin student" then reboot [10:56] how come its already old... [10:56] ikonia: that's all I need, but I'd rather after install rather than during (so I can donate a machine with a usable OS, but not configured) [10:56] i got this last year [10:56] FatalError: oh, you mean i gotta know the package name? [10:56] BlueEagle yes but it will still need 1 account due to root being disabled [10:56] i was sent free [10:56] blackgraz, cmd = ? .. mount /dev/sda1?

[10:56] ikonia: just now i rebooted in recovery mode [10:56] anyway... tell me other methods to get rid of this file [10:56] soneil just make the account a genric one like "setup" [10:56] FatalError: i was hoping it would auto reinstall my video drivers, since i accidently uninstalled them [10:56] soneil: if you don't setup one user at install time how can you expect to login [10:56] i know another method to set the hard drive as slave and delete it [10:57] mircaholic: use antivirus in windows [10:57] lakitu, how did you uninstall them? and what video card? [10:57] but i dont have another HD [10:57] mircaholic: better to ask in ##windows [10:57] oh it won't help [10:57] mircaholic: rip out hard drive and put it in another PC, take ownership of the file after virus scanning then delete [10:57] ikonia: That is true. But as I recall (not sure if it was ubuntu tho) the oem install created that account after the system was installed and gave it access to sudo. [10:57] ikonia: I was thinking along the lines of the firstrun wizzards on redhat, windows, macos, etc [10:57] ikonia: should i type now usermod -G admin student [10:57] mircaholic: if you have an XP cd you could use BartPE [10:57] i dont have another pc [10:57] soneil: doesn't work/install like that [10:57] i have xp cd [10:57] mircaholic: i'd ask in ##windows [10:57] ferronica: yes [10:57] mircaholic: please join ##windows for windows support [10:57] where is this BartPE?

[10:59] grub doesnt show windows as one of the OS' that can boot! oh no! haha. [10:59] ferronica: you need to select recovery then "recover shell" [11:00] lakitu, ouch. Hm. which ATI card? you can try the radeon driver [11:00] ikonia: ok [11:00] lakitu: dpkg reconfiger xorg or somesuch [11:00] FatalError: yes, it's a radeon x2600 i believe [11:00] hi [11:00] ikonia: brb [11:00] FatalError: or 2600x [11:00] hi [11:00] anybody know how to mount a drive in the live cd and get write access?

[11:05] ActionParsnip, thanks.. *memorizing* [11:05] ikonia: dunno [11:06] ikonia: for sh and clones .profiles should be first [11:06] Ven]n: its not hard, the /etc/init.d contains scripts to bring stuff up [11:06] anyone know anything about the nvidia binary drivers and real-time kernels ?

[11:09] ActionParsnip: hah, I never knew there were known issues with the 6800gt's.

[11:11] here's my problem: I see a line from "netstat -ln", that looks something like "tcp4 69 a.b.c.d.:port a.b.c.d:port ..." <-- and I want to know what pid corresponding to that; i.e. i want equiv of lsof, except for network connections [11:11] ikonia: one more thing menu.lst permission granted to all :( [11:11] AdvoWork: you can invoke sed patterns in vim [11:11] ferronica: pardon ?

[15:51] soundray: Additionally I don't really feel like my startup process involving spawning one window manager, killing it and spawning another one.

[15:56] :DDDDDDDDDDDDD [15:56] albuntu: http://www.mail-archive.com/pygtk@daa.com.au/msg16335.html [15:56] Secondly, this has always worked in the past. [15:57] DRMacIver: yes, you should. As far as I can tell, xmonad isn't designed to run with gnome. Neither is gnome designed to run with xmonad. [15:57] hi guys... [15:57] hi patrick [15:57] soundray: Both statements are incorrect. [15:58] soundray: xmonad has explicit support for Gnome. Gnome has explicit support for pluggable window managers. [15:58] Further I have two other computers on which this is working just fine. :) [15:58] DRMacIver: you're obviously far too smart to be helped by me. [15:58] soundray: Yes, that's probably true, given that you've not actually provided any helpful information. [15:58] the hcid from my workstation has a 80%CPU.. is it normally?? [15:59] i've removed the dvd-rw (/dev/scd1) and now, at boot after the step "waiting for resume device", the boot splash (gui) go in text mode... how can i solve this? [15:59] soundray is trying to help you [15:59] Anyway, the problem is unrelated to xmonad. The problem is that metacity will not die despite explicit "don't launch this damn program" instructions [15:59] i got this problem with ubuntu [15:59] DRMacIver: that kind of language is inappropriate in this channel [15:59] root@iderfix-laptop:~# apt-get install iwconfig [15:59] Reading package lists...

[16:16] ActionParsnip, no [16:16] ^Cheeky: what ikonia is telling is that we cannot help you with this issue. you need to go to a hardware channel and see if they can help you [16:16] NiKeCRu666: thats probably why [16:16] ActionParsnip, dont know how to do that =/ [16:16] done the ps -> kill -> execute routine four times and same result [16:16] ActionParsnip: its an old laptop no such option [16:16] NiKeCRu666: start with lspci and web search from there [16:16] Azhi_Dahaka: why are you doing this routine at all?

[16:20] 3.0.3 [16:21] Azhi_Dahaka: then remove the new ~/.mozilla folder and rename back so you are back where you started [16:21] still cannot get php script to send email ..

ALSA which should automagically work w/ Pulse if you have it setup correctly [19:51] soundray: it appeared to install fine but it didn't add any program that i can see to configure the touch screen. would there be a second step to this or?

[19:54] its a tar.gz [19:54] amanulla: to unpack it, tar xzvf tarball.tar.gz [19:54] logivision: it's a driver. You will have to reference it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- look in /usr/share/doc/packagename for instructions [19:54] soundray: all there is in that doc location is a changelog... [19:54] how do i stop the splash screen? [19:54] then [19:55] logivision: try 'man elographics' then [19:55] mrxmike: stop? [19:55] mrxmike: which splash screen?

Strangely, open-office and the printer settings "print test page" seem to work fine. This started happening in the last few days, maybe a recent update? I looked in the access_log and error_log for cups, and tried starting evince and gedit from the command line, but neither spit anything out. [19:57] logivision: pardon?

[19:58] logivision: actually, the instructions are in the file you pastebinned. Scroll down to Step II [19:58] krim: whats wrong with samba? [19:58] logivision: all the other steps (before and after) should have been performed by the installer [19:59] notwist: I've read that NFS is faster [19:59] how can i install a tar.gz package any command to type in terminal? [19:59] amanulla: you don't install it directly. Unpack it and follow the instructions that it contains [20:00] wow [20:00] cool thx [20:00] amanulla: and don't install html2text from a tar.gz -- use the repositories version instead [20:00] soundray: Didn't seem to work, but let me reboot and see if I got the new res. Thanks much for your efforts. [20:00] ok [20:00] I guess my question pretty much is "How do I use NFS to connect to another device?" Because for some reason that doesn't seem to work for me in Ubuntu, and Samba does. [20:00] Anastasia: restarting the X server may be enough [20:01] krim: there is some NFS help on the wiki...

[20:04] logivision: save it to your home directory, then copy it from there to /etc/X11 using 'sudo cp ~/xorg.conf /etc/X11' [20:04] logivision: when you edit system files, you should start the editor with 'gksudo gedit' to have write permissions in system directories [20:05] soundray: oh.. thanks :) [20:05] logivision: please backup your xorg.conf with 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup' first [20:05] is there an easy way to enable fiel sharing throught the gui?

I am currently searching http://www.gnome-look.org/ but it doesnt appear I can use any of the packages on the site. [20:10] Slart: why not use System-Preferences-Remote Desktop then? [20:10] sqawerlz: try gnome art [20:11] ive been trying to use gmount-iso to load the images, but when i go through cd1 and i go to change, it wont let me unmount and put cd2 in its place.

It's loading for me, although very slowly. [20:11] does anyone know the room conversation for wine ? [20:11] logivision: what's telling you to cd /elo ? [20:11] soundray: ah.. you're right.. I never think of that one.. [20:11] soundray: the readme. [20:12] stickystyle: #ubuntu-es also exists for spanish irc support. [20:12] Pici, I didn't know that. I was trying to install them by clicking install and browsing to them but they didnt show up.

[20:15] logivision: yes. It contains further utilities and their manpages. List them with dpkg -L libts-bin once installed [20:15] I've installed the mysql-server package. During the installation i get a question to enter the password for the root user of the mysqlserver, and i do this. However, once i start the server afterwards i'm unable to log in with that password. It looks like the same problem as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset - but the SET PASSWORD command doesn't work when mysql is run with --skip-grant-tables and the alternate method [20:16] I've also tried to use dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server to set the password again, which doesn't work either [20:16] hi [20:16] Can some one help me ?

If you report it on launchpad, the package maintainer will be informed and will provide further help. [20:38] zidoh: well, what you're doing isn't working. That means time to try a new approach! [20:38] !bios [20:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about bios [20:38] okay i got it now - thank you very much [20:38] genii: its telling me the libencode-perl package is not avail [20:38] Hello, I'm trying to tripple boot got the os's installed os x, xp , ubuntu but now i'm getting a hal.ddl error when tyring to boot windows [20:38] zidoh: I had in mind going to http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.0/mysql-5.0.67-linux-i686.tar.gz/from/pick and installing from tar.gz [20:38] i have a problem with my bios [20:38] choooooocooooooooooollllllaaaaat:) [20:38] Geoffrey2: When I checked the download site I seemed to be only able to file it on my computer which I already have. [20:39] H|V_3ala2: this channel is for Ubuntu questions, though [20:39] losher: it is mounted other programs can read it and i can watch movies through linux using other programs.. seems for me dvddecrypter under wine doesn't want to read it [20:39] yeooooooooo [20:39] olaa [20:39] erUSUL - it worked thank you === QS is now known as qs [20:39] morth_: no problem [20:40] hello [20:40] hello [20:40] !hi | alfonso [20:40] alfonso: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [20:40] yes [20:40] anyone? [20:40] yo === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja [20:40] hi soundray [20:40] !info libencode-perl [20:40] ReyRey: Might be your wine setup. Tried googling for "ubuntu dvddecrypter cant read disk"? [20:40] libencode-perl (source: libencode-perl): provides interfaces between Perl's strings and the system. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.23-1 (hardy), package size 1941 kB, installed size 5156 kB [20:40] it's about abuntu live cd [20:40] DavidCanarias, if you already have the ISO downloaded, you should be able to burn it....all I did was right click on the ISO file, and pick the menu option "Write to Disc..." [20:40] how do you live? [20:40] I have this error ACPI: DMI BIOS year==0, assuming ACPI-capable machine [20:40] Hix-2: Enable universe repository, update and try again [20:40] i´from spain [20:40] losher: well, i've been sitting for the last couple of days now trying to get this to work, so it's probably easier to just give in and try that.. but i cannot understand how on earth it can simply not create the users [20:40] alfonso: please join #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting -- this channel is for support only [20:40] losher yeah i even updated wine with the latest version and still no go but will do a google search thanks :-) [20:41] !repos > Hix-2 [20:41] Hix-2, please see my private message [20:41] Geoffrey2: If I have it installed in my computer then I suppose its the ISO. How can I check and how can I burn to CD. I dont know where to find it. [20:41] soundray: how do i uninstall the driver? i used aptitude install so it should remember it? also, what were the two you suggested ill try the escond one [20:41] H|V_3ala2: that in itself is not normally a problem [20:41] ReyRey: if you find something that works, come back and tell us [20:41] hi everyone [20:42] ok soundray [20:42] any known fix for a very low resolution login screen? [20:42] logivision: 'sudo aptitude remove packagename'. xserver-xorg-input-elo2300 [20:42] I have a dell studio 1735 with a BCM4322 wireless card [20:42] then why it doesn't complete bootin? [20:42] losher: ofcourse, installing locally works like a charm.. it creates 6 mysqlusers on install, instead of the one [20:42] logivision: I don't think the problem is the driver, though [20:43] It gives me the mouse cross for 2 secs and then it disapears [20:43] Geoffrey2: only the login screen has the wrong resolution? [20:43] zidoh: so you're up and running at least? [20:43] logivision: or to put it precisely, we never got far enough to verify whether or not it is. Have you tried the touchscreen function (never mind the calibration)? [20:43] I'm having problems with the drivers [20:43] Odd-rationale, yes....I had the same problem with the installation routine, every box is huge and runs way off the screen [20:43] H|V_3ala2: what do you see after that? [20:43] and brings back the black screen with,,,plz wait,,,,,copyrights...blablabla [20:44] and ubunt@ubuntu:"$ [20:44] H|V_3ala2: what graphics card do you have? [20:44] Geoffrey2: how about after you login? is the reolution still wrong? [20:44] sis mirage 3 [20:44] I'm trying to triple boot. Now i get error hal.ddl is missing when tyring to boot into windows [20:44] anyone? [20:44] 64mb shared [20:44] Odd-rationale, once I get my desktop, all is well [20:45] harrimann_: is this a Windows question? [20:45] anyone knows something about the BCM4322 wireless card ??? [20:45] losher: the MySQL server on the actual server is running, it just doesn't create the correct mysql accounts during the installation [20:45] Geoffrey2: pastebin the output of xrandr. also, what reolution is the login screen? what relosution is your desktop? are you using gdm? [20:45] Guys I know we can rip a DVD to an OGM/OGG/OGM video file.. but is there a way to burn back to a DVD from those files? [20:45] anavarro i hear many wirecards have problem with unix. [20:45] hi guys, anyone know where I can ask gtk+ programming questions? [20:46] Is there any way I can burn my Ubuntu Hardy program to CD? [20:46] zidoh: I believe that's done by a post-install script of some kind. A typo in there would do it. Unusual for that to get past testing, but not unimaginable... [20:46] so i have got no way of accessing the mysqlserver, apart from starting it with --skip-grant-tables, which isn't exactly ideal, and doesn't allow me to create users (unless i feel like manually inserting them into the mysql.user table, which i have a feeling wouldn't work out too well) [20:46] yes [20:46] zidoh: you've nothing to lose at this point, do you? [20:46] soundray,,,,discoverd somthin? [20:47] this one in particular is getting fail on the ssh connection [20:47] H|V_3ala2: did you say you can login in text mode? [20:47] yes [20:47] affermative [20:47] zidoh: There is a #mysql channel that you could try... I would imagine you might get more answers there [20:47] Odd-rationale, http://pastebin.ca/1223969 [20:47] I compile the driver that provide the manufacturer broadcom [20:47] losher: true [20:48] Tundrayeti312: tried :/ [20:48] no secondray this is not a windows question [20:48] did you read my question? [20:48] it has to do with ubuntu and grub [20:48] Hi, does anybody knows Ddissert ? [20:48] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: that is a windows problem [20:48] but the ubuntu for some reason in any moment freezes [20:48] can someone help me with this error message: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [20:48] yeah great i could fix my windows install and corrupt my ubuntu install [20:48] Geoffrey2: are you using gdm? [20:48] H|V_3ala2: I want you to try and edit your X configuration. First, create a backup with 'cd /etc/X11 ; cp xorg.conf xorg.conf-backup' [20:48] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: it's windows that's missing the hal.dll, isn't it? [20:48] zidoh: in your place, I'd backup any existing mysql data, uninstall, and try the tar.gz route [20:48] yes dut to the install of ubuntu === _TedRuxpin is now known as TedRuxpin [20:49] Odd-rationale, Desktop: 1280x600, 60Hz [20:49] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: i don't think that's possible [20:49] yes it is possible [20:49] <_Zeus_> how? [20:49] and then? [20:49] harrimann_: you have a Windows problem. [20:49] great i will go to the #windows channel and then they will tell me to reinstall windows and then my ubuntu grub wont' work then i reinstall that and now windows does not work [20:49] I don't care for the info [20:49] sounds like a problem with grub to me [20:49] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: what do you want us to say? [20:49] no need to backup [20:49] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: HOW is that a problem with GRUB?! [20:49] Guys I know we can rip a DVD to an OGM/OGG/OGM video file.. but is there a way to burn back to a DVD from those files? [20:49] losher: not much mysqldata there :P since i haven't been able to actually use the database, it's pretty blank.. i think i'm going to try to dump mysql.* from my local install (where it worked) and import it on the server (if it allows me in gimped-mode) [20:49] xD [20:50] hi [20:50] why don't you say. sorry i don't have your answer [20:50] someone knows if contact the manufacturer in this case is possible ? [20:50] I always do the stuns [20:50] Odd-rationale, gdm is installed, yes [20:50] H|V_3ala2: run 'sudo nano xorg.conf' and find the line Section "Device" [20:50] xD [20:50] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: no, because the answer I gave you is still correct [20:50] Geoffrey2: what is the resolution of the login screen [20:50] its its purly a windows problem then how come i find multiple post about it on the ubunt fourms [20:50] ? [20:50] zidoh: nothing to lose by trying it [20:50] no zeus its not [20:50] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: because a lot of people dualboot [20:50] Odd-rationale, how do I determine that? [20:50] triple boot [20:50] harrimann_: I've had that problem before... Its not a hard fix, but i don't recall what it was. [20:50] How do i run file? [20:50] Geoffrey2: Just give a guess... [20:51] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: you could try to download hal.dll, and put it where it hsould go [20:51] harrimann_: it will help you more if we say the truth [20:51] uhm, /tmp/ is supposed to be writable to all, right? :) [20:51] <_Zeus_> zidoh: don't think so [20:51] Yeah tll me the truth don't tell me to go to antoher channel where they obviously dont' knwo what i'm tyring to do here [20:51] someone can help me with a wireless BCM4322 card? [20:51] zidoh: yes [20:51] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: we did tell you the truth, and that is, try to download hal.dll, maybe that will fix it [20:52] join #ubuntu-cn [20:52] wonder how that happened.. [20:52] is there a way to be notified of a new email in evolution without needing evolution running? [20:52] <_Zeus_> hellhound: i don't think so... [20:52] harrimann_: How to restore Hal.dll from Windows XP CD ---> http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/restorehaldll.htm [20:52] zidoh: /tmp is usually drwxrwxrwt i.e. it has the sticky bit set. See man chmod for details [20:53] soundray,,, === _TedRuxpin is now known as TedRuxpin [20:53] 'sudo nano xorg.conf' the device? [20:53] most i can say is that when i tried with my wireless on a different distro i had to reset the dhcp and reconect to the router [20:53] and [20:53] ReyRey: the files would have to be converted again, you could use devede which will take care of all the steps [20:53] losher: it's got that on my desktop install, but not on the serverinstall.. i'm guessing it's got messed up somehow on the serverinstall, and that there isn't really supposed to be a difference on that? [20:53] Geoffrey2: can I pm you? [20:53] H|V_3ala2: have you found the line I asked you to find? [20:53] sure not,,,I'm not on linux [20:53] is it hard to get rid of *every* desktop environment? just plain x with a lightweight wm, no gnome or whatever stuff wasting any hd space [20:53] Odd-rationale, sure [20:53] I'm on xp [20:54] just takin full info to do it on next boot [20:54] the dhcp? [20:54] on the router configuration? [20:54] zidoh: r u saying the sticky bit is gone? If so, it's no huge deal. It's basically a safety precaution [20:54] H|V_3ala2: insert the line Driver "vesa" [20:54] losher: no, ag+w is gone as well [20:54] H|V_3ala2: before the EndSection line [20:54] on ur pc [20:54] <_Zeus_> losher: try posting the out put of ls -d /tmp [20:54] stickybit was, but i know that's not really a problem.. [20:54] H|V_3ala2: then reboot [20:55] hellhound: http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers << look here [20:55] I just type vesa? [20:55] zidoh: ls -ld /tmp -> drwxrwxrwt 6 root root 12288 2008-10-09 12:55 /tmp/ [20:55] H|V_3ala2: no [20:55] mulligan: Trivial. Disable gdm, log in and run "xinit" with a suitable .xinitrc [20:55] H|V_3ala2: I told you very clearly what to do [20:56] losher: thanks :) [20:56] u told me to insert the line [20:56] *hopes that was the problem* [20:56] <_Zeus_> losher: looks fine [20:56] Deinstalling unneeded software without losing dependent packages you want is far from trivial [20:56] it's textmod [20:56] AJC_Z0: the crap is still on the hd [20:56] H|V_3ala2: yes I did. How can you misread this to mean "I just type vesa"? [20:56] ok, but I am on my wireless right now. My issue is a matter of some bug on the driver [20:56] zeus: yep, zidoh is the one who's having problems. Not me :-) [20:57] _Zeus_: mine was "drwxr-xr-x" - which i would guess could spell out troubles [20:57] u can't just insert a word before anothe on the raw with 1 word [20:57] mulligan: Right. Ubuntu isn't the best choice for a customised lightweight desktop [20:57] <_Zeus_> zidoh: yes, that's trouble [20:57] Hello, I have one last question for anyone. I just install vsftpd and configured it. I want to be able to write to my /var/www folder how do I set that up? [20:57] because it causes that ubuntu suddenly freezes [20:57] H|V_3ala2: I told you to run 'sudo nano xorg.conf' [20:57] ok, i'll look for something else [20:57] i'm hoping it made my mysql-server install sad :P [20:58] Hey my webcam doesn't work in flash but it works with Cheese, it's a video4linux device [20:58] mulligan: yes, it's possible to uninstall gnome/kde etc. I run just X and fvwm, no problem. [20:58] ok [20:58] any ideas what i can do to get it to work? [20:58] and the line device [20:58] when I find it I should write vesa [20:58] mulligan: Any unix platform can be used as a functional desktop. How much work it is for you to set up depends more on your familiarity with the platform than the platform itself [20:59] H|V_3ala2: look, I gave you the clearest instructions that I could. If you can't follow those, you're on your own. [20:59] That said, FreeBSD is easiest [20:59] What's so great about Pulseaudio then? 2 months ago I haven't even heard of it and now I hear it everywhere. [20:59] Samuel-NotAFK: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic please [20:59] soundray: k [20:59] on my ubuntu server i get this error when i do updatedb: updatedb: can not open a temporary file for `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db' [20:59] When I copy a DVD I end up with 2 folders, one is the ISO and the other is marked isdx, why? [20:59] I just install vsftpd and configured it. I want to be able to write to my /var/www folder how do I set that up? [21:00] soundray: sorry was grabbing some lunch. the touch works yes, but it worked before i even installed the driver i think... it's just the calibration that's way off [21:00] isn't there some kind of panel applet to notify you of a new email and then when clicked it brings up evolution? [21:00] losher, _Zeus_: thanks for your help.. the problem was (i don't know how it happened), that a and g didn't have write rights to /tmp/ [21:00] Samuel-NotAFK: Its a replacement for ESD, which has been old/broken since 2000 from what i read [21:00] i found this. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=896713 [21:00] !info gnubiff | hellhound [21:00] hellhound: gnubiff (source: gnubiff): A mail notification program for GNOME (and others).

I guess it's not an extremely common issue [21:03] anyone got a minute to help a noob with some pretty generic questions? [21:03] hi [21:03] ask away [21:03] logivision: if you haven't compiled anything before, you will have to 'sudo aptitude install build-essential' [21:03] zidoh: probably a bug in an installation script somewhere... [21:03] Samuel-NotAFK: Not really. They serve different purposes. Pulseaudio is a sound server, and ALSA is more about getting drivers, soundcards, hw working. A sound server is more about being able to control sound coming from different apps and sources...

[21:18] i have a older 2006 toshiba laptop with bios version 1.7... im going to upgrade it to 6.0 but what i need to know is if i put the flash on a usb drive and boot from usb... is that good enough? [21:19] Hi. I've got a spare hdd here that has an old install of fiesty on it. I want to format/repartition it so it's just a storage drive. How do I do that? I tried the partitioner utility on the live cd, and formatted it to use all the space for an ext3 drive, but now I can't mount it [21:19] is there some special partition I have to set up? === knewco is now known as kevin7kal [21:19] logivision: ok, it looks like everything will go into bin-usb in the current directory. Does ./bin-usb now exist? [21:20] or am I using the wrong utility? [21:20] losher: yep :) [21:20] losher: so how do i "make" it now? [21:20] logivision: is there a README, or a Makefile or an INSTALL? Where did this come from. It looks like a kernel driver? [21:21] thetrav: so you rebooted from the live cd to what?. [21:21] thetrav: what error message are you getting when you try to mount the drive [21:21] Hi there, can someone help me with a couple of problems I'm having with a fresh Ubuntu installation on a Dell XPS M1530? [21:21] i have ubuntu-server want to able powernowd, but it didn't work. can somebody help me? [21:21] losher: i downloaded it from Elo Touch's website. it's a touch screen driver for my monitor. it's "made" for Ubuntu 8.04 [21:21] schuyler_: !ask [21:21] I'm not getting an error message, I'm just not getting the drive show up on the gui [21:21] anyone have any suggestions for Ubuntu/Atheros wifi card issues? [21:21] normally I can go to the computer and there's a drive to right click and mount [21:22] when i run " fakeroot make-kpkg kernel_image" I get an error , mkdir: cannot create directory `debian': Permission denied, anyone please ? [21:22] losher: there is a readme... and an install.sh [21:22] thetrav: hmm not sure.. [21:22] losher: i'm having issues getting through the read me though -_- [21:22] ok, so using all the space as ext3 should be fine then? [21:22] Currently the biggest problems that bug me obviously are my wireless interface not discovering any networks, and also the screen will freeze often, requiring me to reboot the system. [21:22] thetrav: are you sure it's well connected [21:22] SwornPcfst, did you try madwifi-tools ? [21:22] thetrav: ext3 is fine [21:22] i dont'g etting my bluetooth mouse and keyboard conencted witz bluez, it tries to conenct, but after a while bluez just close itselfs and don't connect. normally i hav eto enter a pw on the keyboard and pc, but also this is not, waht can i do? [21:22] lol hate to say it but ubuntu's giving me more trouble than vista ever has. [21:22] that is how my hdd is formated.. [21:23] anyone here familiar with a bios upgrade [21:23] ok then I'll keep playing around and see if I can figure it out. Thanks for answering [21:23] b-relaxed - I haven't, but I'll look at that now, thanks :-) [21:23] logivision: pls stand by, I'm looking at it [21:23] schuyler_: like what? [21:23] losher: thx :) [21:23] Hi everybody [21:23] !hi | lucio_ [21:23] lucio_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:24] yoyoned: Wireless networking not working. System will freeze for no apparent reason (I haven't been able to relate the freezing to any specific action or program) [21:25] what is the command to see all opensource drivers? [21:26] yoyoned: i looked up several trouble shooting methods for my xps and the wireless issue, and tried using ndiswrapper, the two recommended drivers, and turning off the wifi catcher from the BIOS [21:26] i have tried rebooting multiple times, my mouse seemed to work for a few seconds after that, now it doesn't respond at all.. no movement, no clicks, nothing. it was working fine until i installed kde-desktop. anyone have any experience with this? [21:26] as for the freezing i didn't find any documentation [21:26] anyone here familiar with upgrading a bios? i have version 1.7, im wondering can i just download the newest or do yo have to go version by version. and im also wondering if i can just put hte flash on a usb drive, and boot to usb to upgrade the bios [21:26] anyone here have experience with bootcd? [21:27] I run Ubuntu (Gnome) and sometimes I use a couple of Qt apps and they look VERY ugly. I played with qtconfig, but supplied "styles" are pretty bad. Can I download more styles? I tried various "KDE schemes" but they all need to be compiled and they require KDE, just Qt is not enough. So... how can I change the look of Qt apps on Gnome? [21:27] Doc8404: my experience with upgrading BIOS is if you don't NEED to, then don't, otherwise i'm nont sure [21:27] Doc8404, it depends on why you want to update BIOS [21:27] this is a "aint broke dont fix" thing [21:27] nobody there who know's what about bluez? [21:27] right now i cant access the ammount of ram the laptop allocated to video... and id like to change it to the most... i put in 4 gigs of 667mhz hyperx ram, from 1 gig of 667mhz and now i can use more for video [21:28] anyone knows sw for mindmap ? [21:28] lucio_: paint? ;) [21:28] what is the command to see all opensource drivers? [21:28] anyone know why send mail sends email to my email vs. the email enter in the php form? [21:28] Doc8404, the looks for your bios updates. Do they fix these problems? [21:28] Doc8404, if you do decide to, you can use the latest version you don't need to worry about skipping in between [21:28] Pirate_Hunter, what do you mean? [21:28] *notes [21:28] DFlame yes, it also makes the computer 64bit capable [21:29] logivision: r u there? [21:29] losher: sure am :) [21:29] le_mischa no the name is "Kdissert" [21:29] to upgrade BIOS usually you need DOS, right? [21:29] cool, I would attempt then. WinPhlash works pretty well in windows afaik, though you might be better off with a DOS bootdisk [21:29] can someone help me make a tar and transfer it from server to remote? [21:29] magnetron, this is an example for archpacman -Ss xf86-video | less, how would i do it for ubuntu and install only the driver i want? [21:29] logivision: ok, ready to begin attempted install? [21:29] and the flasher/flash file on a seperate disk [21:29] hmm... i was just going to boot from usb [21:30] losher: ready and waiting sir [21:30] logivision: wanna go to private chat? [21:30] booting from USB would probably be fine, I'm just working on what i know here [21:30] losher: ya sure might be easier [21:30] #ubuntu.pl [21:30] ah ok whew lol, the ram i bought came with a 2gig thumb drive [21:30] i've used floppies and CDs in the past to flash. haven't tried USB yet [21:30] Pirate_Hunter you mean list all the xfree86 packages? first of all, ubuntu uses xorg, not xf86 [21:31] hi there [21:31] where can i find server start up script [21:31] kingston hooked it up :) 2 gig 667mhz sticks times two with a two gig thumb drive for 70bucks [21:31] as long as you get the right file for your mobo, you cant really go wrong without a power cut or something similar [21:31] magnetron: ok how do i show xorg package for SiS and force it to install only that driver? [21:31] what i did was went to the toshiba site, and downloaded the one they said to get [21:31] but here goes nothing [21:32] yoyoned: sorry. it froze again. [21:32] magnetron: ok how do i show xorg package for SiS and force it to install only that driver *and use it? [21:33] Everytime I try to mkdir it says I do not have the premission. [21:33] Pirate_Hunter, this is the equivalent ubuntu command - it will list all the xorg video support packagesaptitude search xserver-xorg-video [21:33] <_dbd_l12> Mists: depends on the rights on that particular directory - try sudo mkdir [21:33] Pirate_Hunter, aptitude search xserver-xorg-video [21:34] Hello all [21:34] I am trying to mount my USB pen drive --- but when I plug it in it says "not privileged to mount KINGSTON" [21:34] Ok thanks :) [21:34] magnetron: once i find it do i just install with apt-get and will xorg use that driver straight away? [21:34] How can I figure out which dev corresponds to the pen drive --- obviously I can mount it as sudo --- but finding out which dev it is.... [21:34] Pirate_Hunter, no. [21:35] magnetron: hmmm....??? [21:35] Pirate_Hunter, i answered your question [21:35] whats the command to configure the display? [21:36] I'm trying to mount my USB Flash Drive, using this guide http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-tutorials-howtos-reference-material/15776-how-mount-usb-flash-drives-linux.html [21:36] hello [21:36] But when I get to mount /dev/sda1/mnt/usbflash [21:36] it wont work [21:36] <_dbd_l12> nspyr: do you mean sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [21:36] ou mano [21:37] magnetron: ok === Guest52963 is now known as jelmer [21:37] in case anyone's interested, I kinda found the issue with my Atheros card, the upgrade from 2.6.27-4 to 2.6.27-6 broke the wifi ability, booting back into 2.6.27-4 fixes the issue [21:37] hey all [21:37] _dbd_l12: well ya but what about the graphical one...gtk-display-properties [21:37] When i try to mount my usb by mount /dev/sda1/mnt/usbflash It says file cannot be found in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab === PoisonArrow is now known as TheWeatherMen [21:37] I just upgraded to 8.10, and djview package failed to install [21:37] be done from a cd === d4de_ is now known as Guest70991 [21:38] or from a floppy disk... toshiba wont let you do it from a flash drive [21:38] Mists: you're missing a space [21:38] Sorry? Space where? [21:38] Mists: between /dev/sda1 and /mnt/usbflash [21:38] oooohh... [21:38] lol [21:38] Mists: but the bigger question is why are you having to do this manually.. [21:38] hmm i just plug in the usb device and it opens it:P [21:38] It wont let me open my flash drive [21:39] Hi guys - I'm trying to setup ssh on ubuntu and am having a little trouble. When I attempt to ssh from local network it's no problem, but when I try and access via external ip no joy...think I've got my firewall and router setup right though. Any experts? [21:39] It says "Cannot mount volume" [21:39] k this is getting really annoying. [21:39] can anyone help me with a freezing problem? [21:39] One quick question [21:39] <_dbd_l12> schuyler: we can try [21:39] "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume" [21:39] i just disabled a driver that might be causing the problem but i'd rather have it working. [21:39] schuyler_ - its likely hardware [21:40] that doesn't make sense, because vista has NEVER crashed on me. [21:40] if you compile something, can you just delete the folder to remove it or do you have to uninstall it? [21:40] makes sense to me... Vista just uses all your resources so youd never notice the pc running slow :) [21:40] schuyler_ is there any consistency to when it crashes? [21:40] is there a way I can set my desktop to 256 colours? I want to runn a proram which crashes with a deep higher than tha [21:41] i have installed ubuntu eee on my 1000h and i don;t know what i should start with to upgraded it to this kernel: http://www.array.org/ubuntu/ [21:41] nope, always random. i'll even leave it just sitting there for 5 or 10 minutes and i'll find it crashed again. [21:41] it's a fresh install on a Dell XPS M1530 [21:42] schuyler_ download memtest and run it overnight one night [21:42] and the driver for the video was "Proprietary Software" so apparently that can cause problems with performance (?) i just disabled that driver. [21:42] * PryMaL thinks you have a ram problem [21:42] Odd question but What is everyones sleeping patterns like? [21:42] JohnFlux: I had to do this from root correct? When I do "su" and put in my password it says it is incorrect. "Su: Auth. Failure" [21:42] morth_ who sleeps?! [21:42] wtf lol [21:42] <_dbd_l12> PryMal: when it crashes -- try pressing ctrl+alt+f6 -- log in -- type 'top' to try to find the offending process - kill it -- press ctrl+alt+f7 to return to gnome/kde/xfe/... [21:42] okay what would cause the ram problem? [21:42] i sleep about what 6 hours a night [21:42] what time do you sleep and wake up [21:42] twig in the spokes [21:43] doesnt apache on ubuntu use httpd.conf? i find only content in apache2.conf [21:43] PryMaL hehe true that [21:43] midnight to six am why [21:43] work time - bye [21:43] i used to sleep during the day but now that im back in school i cant but i want to continue my odd hours of computers at 1-5am [21:43] Hi guys - I'm trying to setup ssh on ubuntu and am having a little trouble. When I attempt to ssh from local network it's no problem, but when I try and access via external ip no joy...think I've got my firewall and router setup right though. When I ssh to my ip it doesn't say connection refused or anything, just hangs and doesn't prompt for password. Any experts? [21:43] any other suggestions to my freezing system? [21:43] jarco: i think it might be different [21:44] Does anyone know why it won't let me login to su? [21:44] Guest70991 have you port forwarded port 22 to the internal IP? [21:44] It keeps giving me auth failure [21:44] schuyler_: Do your system logs provide any insight? [21:44] how may i access those? [21:44] guys, what scripts for irssi do you use? suggest me some good scripts [21:44] Mists you should be able to do anything you need via sudo [21:45] I'm trying to mount my USB. [21:45] But it says I must be in root too. [21:45] i have installed ubuntu eee on my 1000h and i don;t know what i should start with to upgraded it to this kernel: http://www.array.org/ubuntu/ [21:45] schuyler_: in /var/logs ... or GUI ... system->administration->system logs i believe [21:45] anyone know what the configparams file is? [21:45] hannel | Important, please type /msg ubottu etiquette | [21:45] sudo [21:45] PryMal: In my router? Pretty sure I've set it up right. Have created a service called openSSH on port 22 and have setup firewall rule to allow inbound connections and forward to 192.168.0.2 [21:45] Tundrayeti312, what would I be looking for? [21:45] <_dbd_l12> Mists: you're (temporary) root when you use sudo [21:46] Ok, thanks [21:46] schuyler_: Any warnings or messages or errors that would indicate a problem... [21:46] i keep seeing hints for compiling glibc 2.7 on hardy and they all suggest creating a configparams, but before doing this I wanted to know where this configparams file is being read from.... === Guest70991 is now known as m1dn1ght [21:47] PryMaL - sorry - didn't realise I had a guest nick [21:48] Is it possible to burn my Ubuntu Hardy program to CD for safety as I don't have a copy. Anyone know how to do this plse? [21:48] m1dn1ght: I tried to connect to your computer, and I couldn't [21:48] I can't see anything apparent in my system logs... [21:49] how to restart network in ubuntu? [21:49] danbh_intrepid: yep. by reckoning I've set it up right, so not sure where I'm going wrong [21:49] hello why does the "uptime" command show the system as having 2 users logged on? [21:50] <_dbd_l12> sergiu: /etc/init.d/networking restart [21:50] has anyone ever had a problem with a notebook touchpad not working with ubuntu? [21:50] m1dn1ght: Im using: telnet your_ip 22 and its just hanging. I'm not very experienced at this, so I don't know if that is a valid test, but I would think that it is [21:50] yeah comparing the logs up until the crash with the logs up until now, there's no difference. [21:50] so no error messages seem to be making it to the log (?) [21:51] however I think I might've found the problem already... [21:51] I've done: sudo mkdir flashdrive Then: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/flash drive BUT it said the mount point could not be found. [21:51] danbh_intrepid: yeah - it's hanging for me too. just wish I knew why. [21:51] is there any way the "proprietary software" I had to install for my video card could cause my laptop to crash? [21:51] .server chatnet [21:51] because I disabled it and now it's running fine up until this point....not too sure yet though. [21:52] ok ubuntu just logged me out byitself.. where can i find why it did this.... ? [21:52] schuyler_: It is a possibility... describe the crash [21:52] screen doesn't move, keyboard, and mouse unresponsive. [21:52] m1dn1ght: well, I suspect its router issue. can you connect to your self? via localhost? [21:52] i can only restart it through a hard poweroff [21:53] however there was a CD in the drive once and I was able to eject it after the system had crashed. [21:53] what if you try ctl+alt+backspace? [21:53] so it could be related to the GUI? [21:53] I'm running HH on a laptop, and I'm having a problem with interlacing and flickering on my desktop. Console doesn't have the problem. Also, the login prompt is the wrong resolution (way too big), but the desktop is correctly sized. I checked the refresh rate and size via the Screen Resolution tool, and it's set correctly to 800x480 at 60 Hz. Any idea how I could fix this? [21:53] schuyler_: Does is freeze after it goes into screen-saver mode? [21:54] no, it can freeze before ever entering screen saver [21:54] <_sarahh> could someone advice me of a page for installing resin 2.1.7a with apache 1.3 [21:54] etesla: I can help with the oversized login resolution. Is that your only problem? [21:54] can anyone remember me, how to lunch from terminal the tool that configure the screen resolution, refrash rate ...? [21:55] the "proprietary software" that was installed previously that might be the cause is "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards)" [21:55] danbh_intrepid: No, I'm also experiencing flickering/interlacing once I'm logged in (but not at the login time). [21:55] Sergiu displayconfig-gtk? [21:56] <_sarahh> could someone please advice me of a page for installation of resin and apache.. pretty please :$ [21:56] noodlesgc, yes, but it seems this tool is not available on ubuntu 8.10 .. ?:) the terminal says that command is not found [21:56] <_dbd_l12> Mists: did you name the directory flash_(space)_drive ? Then you should do sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/flash\ drive [21:56] hi all [21:56] etesla: can you pastebin your xorg.conf? [21:56] hi everyone [21:56] someone has an dell inspiron 6400?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [21:58] Tundrayeti312, Should I just bite the bullet and not use the NVIDIA driver since it seems to be the cause of my crashing, or is there a way to fix this problem? [21:58] okay [21:58] etesla: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit [21:58] etesla: post the link in chat [21:59] hey all [21:59] i dont'g etting my bluetooth mouse and keyboard conencted witz bluez, it tries to conenct, but after a while bluez just close itselfs and don't connect. normally i hav eto enter a pw on the keyboard and pc, but also this is not, waht can i do? [21:59] schuyler_: I really don't have enough info ( or expertise ) to answer that. After a crash what does ctl+alt+backspace do? [21:59] danbh_intrepid: Sure thing. Standby. :) [21:59] I never tried Ctrl + Alt + Backspace... I'm used to Ctrl + Alt + Del lol [22:00] schuyler_: I mean, if you don't need the nVidia driver for 3d graphices and you think its the problem, then maybe i would get rid of it... what kind of laptop? [22:00] _sarahh: http://www.caucho.com/resin/doc/install-apache.xtp [22:00] Tundrayeti312, Dell XPS M1530 [22:01] <_dbd_l12> schuyler: ctrl+alt+backspace restarts X ... You should really try the ctrl-alt-f6 (login) - top route to try to find the offending process [22:01] It uses an nVIDIA graphics card [22:01] <_sarahh> thx.. [22:01] i have an dell ispiron 6400 but i cant start wifi with module ipw3945 he return error dont find the the perif [22:01] anyone here experienced with wpa_supplicant and ndiswrapper in hardy?

[22:02] chamuscas are they 3D applications? do you have desktop effects on? [22:02] is there any way to download *all* the files on a website using wget? [22:02] _dbd_l12: What should he look for as an offending process? [22:03] temmer: I think there's a "mirror" option in the man page. [22:03] I'll look at the documentation for nVIDIA drivers causing X to crash since I just found a lot of resources that talked about this problem.

[22:17] Runes: make a google search for lexmark e250 ppd, you'll see there's a file for download. Install the printer using the ubuntu printer install app, then tell ubuntu to use that ppd file.

[22:17] dysje: thanx! [22:17] richcollins, look up echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH [22:18] Tundrayeti312, simcity 4 and chessmaster XI [22:18] x-ip: It is empty [22:18] i installed kubuntu-desktop and when it was installing it asked what my default wm should be and i chose gnome how can i switch it to kde to play with it? [22:18] richcollins, try to set a path to that global var with export [22:18] when it type ifconf , one of the things i see is 'HWaddr' , is this MAC Address? [22:18] chamuscas: Hmm very strange problem.. you could try the #wine channel... Are those programs listed as supported by Wine in AppdB? [22:18] _sarahh: What, in particular is causing ailments? [22:18] DigitalFiz: at the login screen, click on Options. Choose KDE from Sessions [22:19] x-ip: I would rather not set up the environment for each process that will run things that link to /usr/local/lib [22:19] can anyone recommend how to fix a laptop that freezes upon closing the lid, which then needs a reboot- running 8.04, with all Visual Effects to None, Power Management and Screensaver settings are set to Blank Screen.... [22:19] ok awesome ty [22:19] Is there a way other than LD_LIBRARY_PATH [22:19] Tux2K8: yep [22:19] CaptainMorgan: What kind of laptop? [22:19] ejer : 10x [22:19] ah /etc/ld.so.conf [22:19] any reason why amarok just decides files on another hard drive don't exist when it wants to? [22:19] I recall it having to do with the flgrx driver... but I've forgotten how to fix it...... Tundrayeti312 IBM Thinkpad T60, ATI X1300 [22:19] richcollins, i dont know 'other way' but doesnt understand why u should set up this env for each process ... [22:20] wizzer: if this other drive has not been mounted then they technically don't exist. [22:20] u mean, because you have some process run by different users i think ... [22:20] well it is mounted [22:20] x-ip: apache will have a www user [22:20] yeap ... i got the point [22:20] and they will work for awhile, then amarok just says they don't randomly [22:20] Tundraeyeti312, i don't know i didn't know about that list, but already checked the ubuntu file about wine , and wine rrom but tanks a lot :) [22:20] lo all, for some reason I can't build pioneers... [22:20] wizzer: If the drive is mounted with permissions that don't allow the user who uses amarok doesn't have then also they don't exist. [22:20] x-ip: Looks liek I can modify /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig [22:20] so then i go through, and re add all the songs and it works [22:20] #winehq [22:21] oops [22:21] <_dbd_l12> Evan_: see if the file /boot/grub/menu.lst contains a the term "quiet" [22:21] wizzer: That sounds odd... [22:21] xorg shows that the "Device" has one line: "Configured Video Driver" [22:21] yeah [22:21] richcollins, yep, i forget that [22:21] richcollins, thats what u need [22:21] =) [22:21] hei, anyone know of a good audio editing software (like SoundForge and the likes) [22:21] audacity? [22:21] CaptainMorgan: I have a HP pavillion w nVidia.. if the screen saver starts i have to restartX using ctl+alt+backspace ... ive never looked into it... perhaps part of the problem w/ proprietary drivers *shrug* [22:21] hi [22:21] audacity dlisboa and ardour for more complex recording [22:21] Me, once again === LordKovu is now known as afallenhope [22:21] wizzer: Ofcourse it would help if you told us which type of drive and which file system the files exist on. [22:21] Runes: don't forget to store the ppd file in a safe place, it might be hard to find in a few years or so, if you ever need it then [22:22] ejer: thanks [22:22] um [22:22] lexmark already removed it [22:22] could anyone pleaseeeeee help me with me wireless? [22:22] western digital 200 gig, with windows installed on that one [22:22] Tundrayeti312, I'm having a difficult time researching it through google... all sorts of information spawns never leading to what I need.... I have a T61 which I was able to configure properly.... like I said previously, I've forgotten how I did that.. [22:22] danbh_intrepid: Is there any other information I can provide? [22:22] !wireless [22:22] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:22] but i mounted it with ubuntu [22:22] Tundrayeti312, thanks though [22:22] question: How can i share some files with an XP computer? [22:22] like i haven't read that BlueEagle [22:22] wizzer: ntfs file system? [22:23] Azhi_Dahaka: over the network? [22:23] as far as i know [22:23] Yes [22:23] Azhi_Dahaka: samba [22:23] !who [22:23] 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 :) [22:23] Hey guys, I recently updated from feisty to heron, and the cool window effects and stuff werent enabled like before, so I went to enable them in Appearance and it told me I couldnt set them. [22:23] Whats wrong? [22:23] Out of the box, I can read the shared files from my XP computer [22:23] dysje: Then I would assume you've got a more spesific question than "help me with the wireless". Like which driver should I use or somesuch. [22:23] can any body gimme the comand to re install the sound driver? [22:23] Darklustx: you might still have the old driver package installed; try checking if you have restricted-drivers installed [22:24] I want to do the opposite, to share files from my Ubuntu one [22:24] How do I write the location on this project https://launchpad.net/syllabus in this format bazaar.launchpad.net/~registrant/project/branch [22:24] Dillizar: apt-get install --reinstall alsa* [22:24] x-ip: Ah. I had to run ldconfig after installing libc6-dev === ricky_ is now known as Guest14615 [22:24] KirSpz: I do, what does it mean? [22:24] It added the entry [22:24] BlueEagle: WPA isn't working, getting strange errors, using ndiswrapper which on itself is doing weird things to begin with [22:24] richcollins, perfect :) [22:24] ok THATS why you guys have gnome in ubuntu hehe [22:24] dysje: Specifying what kind of "weird errors" you're getting would also help. [22:24] x-ip: Thanks for your help [22:24] A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept. [22:24] richcollins, ou ... np =) [22:24] Darklustx: that's an old package for drivers; now you can install nvidia-glx-new [22:24] KlrSpz: Permission denied [22:25] KlrSpz: through apt? [22:25] Dillizar: sudo [22:25] Darklustx: yes [22:25] KlrSpz: sorry [22:25] :D [22:25] wizzer: Is it mounted with ntfs-3g? [22:25] BlueEagle: it won't search for networks automatically, i have to manually connect, after that is done, it'll keep finding networks for the session. So the drivers/scan functions aren't working initially, after that though, WPA still won't work as it's giving errors that association isn't working, depending on the mood of the drivers though [22:26] BlueEagle: it also says "failed to disable WPA in the driver" whenever i cancel wpa_supplement [22:26] supplicant [22:26] is there a better IRC for Launchpad questions? [22:27] how do i check if it is? [22:27] wizzer: mount [22:27] wizzer: that will list all mounted partitions and their file systems. [22:27] MadsRH: try #ubuntu+1 [22:27] does someone want to collaborate here ? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Team/TODO [22:27] dysje: Hmm.. That is weird. :/ I haven't used ndiswrapper so I'm not sure how to debug that one, sorry. [22:28] KlrSpz -> Thanks [22:28] hallo [22:28] erm hello [22:28] jabba, hola :P [22:28] BlueEagle: seems to be going wrong somewhere in ndiswrapper towards driver [22:28] KlrSpz: I dont have nvdia, I have the intel chipset, so what would I do? [22:28] doesn't seem to say anything about ntfs-3g [22:29] Darklustx: ummm... not sure? don't run intel on any of my boxes... check the ubuntu site [22:29] i just made an extended desktop setup with my laptop i810. und wondered why there is only 800x600 (or even less?) on the 2nd monitor.... [22:29] wizzer: What does the line describing the partition on which the media files exist? [22:29] KlrSpz: i still have problem with /def/dsp and /def/audio [22:29] say [22:30] and i wonder if it is possible only to have this extension, without really be able to move the mous ober to that area [22:30] (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) [22:30] does anyone know anything about iphones in here? [22:30] cause i only need it for presentations [22:30] vexe: I know that they are overpriced and overly restricted. [22:31] i think we all know that! [22:31] How can I change the resolution of my flatscreen display? I edited the Xorg.conf, but after restart there is always the low resolution mode [22:31] vexe: If you want to know something else I suggest you ask a more spesific question. [22:31] vexe: why would anyone even want to know, but what's the question? :p [22:31] i pwned my iphone and it wont pick up on ubuntu [22:31] Hi all...question...anyone knows about em28xx firmware xc3028L-v36 and how to get it for a ati tv wonder 600 usb [22:31] KlrSpz: i still have problem with /def/dsp and /def/audio can you help me [22:31] Crashmike: then x isn't setup right.. afaik it only goes into low res mode when something errors out === airstrike is now known as airstrics [22:32] Dillizar: /dev/dsp and /dev/audio? [22:32] vexe: a bit more spesific to the "pwnage" in question would most likely help. [22:32] Dillizar: what kind of problem [22:32] hello all. I've setup xampp. All is well. I can see http://localhost. I've set a ~/Projects folder to act as repository to my web projects. ~/Projects/gusmao is one of these projects. I have http.conf define an alias to it. But Apache complains with 403 Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /gusmao/ on this server. How can setup access rights? [22:32] yes Slart [22:32] tundrayeti312, simcity4 is supported by wine =/ but i still have the same problem, what about crossover is it one ubuntu's repository ? [22:32] vexe: ...or to rephrase: wtf?! [22:32] Dillizar: aslo i'm at work, so i might be slow to respond [22:32] Dillizar: tell us about this problem [22:32] hey guys can i ask you swomething.. for some reason when i start my laptop, the sound works for like 20 secs... after that it fades slowly out until nothing will play restarting alsa dosent help do you have any ideas? [22:32] @slart...ok... but its mysteroius...when I feed the Xorg.conf with the specs of my monitor it does right [22:33] chamuscas: I'm not familiar, but I believe you have to pay for it [22:33] some one knows what configure file for quick launch buttons on hp laptop [22:33] krugar: http://localhost/xampp contains setup pages and security setup === ompaul_ is now known as ompaul [22:33] Crashmike: X is mysterious.. I'm surprised every time it works =) [22:33] KlrSpz: or Slart i cant use my skype i cant use my amsn its saying that it cant access the files [22:33] Hey can somebody please help me [22:33] i am trying to compile wordnet, but i get a small error on ./configure and it wont make. . . http://paste.ubuntu.com/55791/ can anyone help?

[22:34] some one knows what configure file for quick launch buttons on hp laptop [22:34] Crashmike: so.. when you feed it the correct values it works.. is that a problem? or did I misunderstand something? [22:34] KlrSpz:i cant use my skype i cant use my amsn its saying that it cant access the files [22:34] <_dbd_l12> keevie: see http://community.activestate.com/forum-topic/configure-warning-cant-fi [22:35] !repeat | Dillizar [22:35] Dillizar: 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 [22:35] sorry [22:35] Dillizar: have you tried restarting alsa? [22:35] trdickson, Thank you trdickson. But those pages don't allow me to provide access Apache with access rights to ~/Projects/gusmao [22:35] how KlrSpz [22:35] @slart... the problem is: first time it works after feeding with specs and then ne logon...but after restarting the pc it won't work [22:35] new logon [22:35] Dillizar: I think /dev/audio and /dev/dsp is used by oss, the older sound system that predates alsa.. [22:36] _dbd_l12: thanks [22:36] Crashmike: how do you do the "feeding" ? [22:36] yeah skype uses oss [22:36] iirc [22:36] > I am running ubuntu live i have a broad band internet connection, now i want to download the new ubuntu 8.4 but how do i burn it on to disk when running ubuntu live? [22:36] my skype uses alsa.. [22:36] Dillizar: do you have alsa-oss installed? [22:36] yeah but i wasn useing it just few days a go and now nada [22:36] Slart: hmm.. been a while since i used it, maybe they now suport alsa [22:36] dont know KlrSpz [22:37] it does it badly though.. but it's still using alsa.. but I think I've got a newer version than the one in the repos [22:37] <_dbd_l12>: but. . .now i get checking for Tcl configuration... configure: error: /usr/local/ActiveTcl-8.4/lib/ directory doesn't contain tclConfig.sh [22:37] daniel@DANIEL:~/WordNet-3.0$ make [22:37] make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [22:37] Ubuntu live dose not save any of the downloads on to windows xp partions [22:37] Slart: I edit the Xorg.conf via kate ;-) and type in the correct monitor specs... then I save the file and make a new logon [22:37] how come wireless is such an issue on linux distros? [22:38] Please help anyone? [22:38] ubuntu: What version of ubuntu live? You could just install that version and update [22:38] Crashmike: ok.. I'm not sure if just logging out and in will do it.. you might have to restart X.. not sure if just relogging does that [22:38] i think its 7.4 [22:38] KlrSpz: how can i install asla-oss? [22:38] Dillizar: use aptitude or synaptic [22:38] dysje: because there are no accepted standards.. lots of proprietary stuff.. and noone cares enough about linux to do drivers for it [22:38] @slart...ok, you mean a system-restart will help? [22:38] ubuntu: otherwise you have to figure out how to save that .iso somewhere [22:39] dysje: hmm.. correctiong there.. none of the manufacturers care about linux.. there are still users though [22:39] yea thats what i need help with [22:39] but if i save it on the desktop of the live ubuntu how do i burn it [22:39] Crashmike: either a reboot or CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE (it will kill X and restart it for you) [22:40] laku: :P [22:40] how do i remove everything *but* something? [22:40] @find [22:40] temmer: can you give me an example [22:40] @slart it's Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE 3.5...ok... I'lll try it. maybe the support for Belinea Monitors can be better ;-) [22:40] ubuntu: any particular reason you have to do this from a live cd? I doubt that you could save the iso to your desktop, but if you can, you should just be able to burn it like normal [22:40] <_dbd_l12> keevie: you have installed activetcl (seems like a dependency for wordnet...) ? try "locate activetcl" [22:40] temmer: copy that something to a safe place, nuke everything from orbit, put something back [22:40] dekkong__: :-) [22:40] anybody know how to install wine on ubuntu and yellow dog linux [22:40] temmer: i default to Thunar or another file manager; lol... [22:40] if i want to remove everything in a directory except a file called ~test [22:40] @slart...thanks for help [22:40] Slart: oh okay [22:40] temmer: or do what Slart said [22:41] i mean a directory [22:41] what is the directory for insert driver in blacklist?? [22:41] you know what i mean [22:41] ;D [22:41] temmer: you could probably do something really complicated with bash.. but I think my way is the easiest [22:41] temmer: rm -r `ls | grep -v test` [22:41] i can save it to my desktop, and the reason why im run it live is because i down have the drivers for the modem install on win xp [22:41] _dbd_l12: locate activetcl runs with no errors and no output [22:41] Crashmike: good luck [22:41] ikonia: heh i have ls aliased to ls -la [22:41] what is the directory for insert driver in blacklist?? [22:41] so how do i burn it when running the live ubuntu? [22:42] slart: thanks...the prob is at another computer [22:42] ikonia: invalid option -w?

[22:45] sorry, mistell Tundrayeti312 [22:45] np [22:45] dysje: not just wireless.. scanners are in a sad state.. software modems too..mobile phones are mostly a mess too [22:45] <_dbd_l12> keevie: np [22:45] ikonia: okay how about this how to copy a directory [22:46] need help installing ubuntu on my brother laptop [22:46] cp -R [22:46] temmer: cp -R [22:46] srizz: ok, what's the issue [22:46] it keeps getting an error [22:46] Slart: i has no problem with my winmobile device :p - still, ubuntu etc. has bigger issues than hardware unfortunately [22:46] etesla: well, Im glad that worked out for you. I dont know about the flickering. Ill do a quick search.. [22:47] ikonia: thanks [22:47] Seems stupid and dangerous to not use FTP-encryption when its just about adding "--with-modules=mod_tls" but... [22:47] I'm running a live Ubuntu CD & I want to download a the version of Ubuntu 8.4, But how do I burn it to CD ROM? Or How do I save it to my Windows Partition? [22:47] undevd-event [1545]: run_program: ' /sbin/modprobe ' abnormal exit [22:47] SamanthaGothLove: well, I wouldn't advising saving it to your windows partition if your running an older version of ubuntu [22:47] SamanthaGothLove: do you have some kind of hard drive space where you could put a 600MB file? [22:47] SamanthaGothLove: download and burn it under windows [22:47] Something weird happened when I just unplugged my flash drive. Now, when I plug it back in, it won't mount. I bet a reboot would make everything work again, but is there anything I can do to like "reset" whatever it is that mounts USB drives? [22:47] Hello [22:47] is anyone familiar with the problem with flash player 10 and alsa and lockups? [22:47] SamanthaGothLove: that is the simple solution [22:48] AlNahar: there's a reason it's beta [22:48] ikonia: any idea? [22:48] Yea I do have space loads of it [22:48] dysje: this only started when i switched back to alsa on a particular machine [22:48] I can't login on ma machine because it s freeze ( after passwork, I have no prompt) any ideas? [22:48] AlNahar: I'm familiar with the problem with flash player 10, period =).. I couldn't even get the latest version to start === yahwek_ is now known as YaHWek [22:48] dysje: i can't even get sound with version 9 [22:49] But the download dosen't save on the windows partition it only gets saved on the desktop of ubuntu live [22:49] srizz: that quite an odd error, that shouldn't stop it booting [22:49] AlNahar: tried installing that .. extra sound library for flash.. can't remember the name [22:49] SamanthaGothLove: download and burn it in windows [22:49] AlNahar: libflash something I think [22:49] SamanthaGothLove: don't make it hard [22:49] libflashsupprt? [22:49] So, how do i configure Xorg via the commandline? [22:49] ah, that fixed it! [22:49] awesome:) [22:49] I can't get internet going on windows [22:49] SamanthaGothLove: you can change that in the firefox preferences [22:49] What apache2 config file do I need to edit to change the web-browser reading myfilename.php to /myfilename? [22:49] :( [22:49] AlNahar: that might be it [22:49] SamanthaGothLove: save to desktop and burn then [22:49] that fixed it [22:50] I know but the download wont start if i try to save it on a windows partition [22:50] ikonia: i boots up to the install option menu, but when you hit install thats happens, it also had a tty error [22:50] how can i install the ncurses libraries im trying to compile a kernel? [22:50] SamanthaGothLove: try the minimal install instead of the regular one [22:50] sweetgum: if you can't install ncurses I suggest you don't try to build custom kernels [22:50] SamanthaGothLove, what version is the live cd? You may be able to install it to the HD and upgrade [22:50] !minimal | SamanthaGothLove [22:50] SamanthaGothLove: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [22:50] But how can I burn running the live Ubuntu [22:50] SamanthaGothLove: use gnomebaker [22:50] ikonia: could you give me the command? [22:50] its 7.4 [22:50] And eject the cd? [22:50] !burniso | SamanthaGothLove [22:50] SamanthaGothLove: To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [22:51] sweetgum: I advise you not to [22:51] ikonia: why's that? [22:51] SamanthaGothLove, 7.4 can be upgraded to the current one [22:51] if your goal is to have it installed on the hd [22:51] how do i start gnomebaker? [22:51] danbh_intrepid: If it helps, it's like there are pink horizontal dotted lines flickering all over my screen. [22:51] sweetgum: because you need to understand what your doing [22:51] where from [22:51] ikonia: nevermind i figured it out, thanks anyway [22:51] sweet thanks guys [22:51] :X [22:51] Anybody know if there is an ncurses program with 8.10 to configure X? [22:51] etesla: have you tried upping the refresh rate? [22:51] just one last question [22:51] LoneElf: join #ubuntu+1 for 8.10 help [22:51] SamanthaGothLove: see.. everything gets easier when you're called Samantha instead of .. whatever your old nick was =) [22:52] i was so close to having my ubuntu laptop perfect, just wireless broken, now that's a big issue on a laptop :p [22:52] ikonia: do you know of any solutions [22:52] etesla: it looks like you have a via graphics card, which according to the forums, is not well supported : ( [22:52] danbh_intrepid: The video card is only spec'd to 60Hz - it does the same thing at either 80-something or 60. [22:52] dysje--> which nic card and chip your wifi uses? [22:52] srizz: I am trying to figure out why you'd get that before working out how to fix it [22:52] If I install the Ubuntu 7.4 on the HDD will it detect my motorola broad band modem automaticly? [22:53] SamanthaGothLove: probably not [22:53] LoneElf: I've never seen one.. unless you mean the dpkg-reconfigure one [22:53] SamanthaGothLove, is it running on the livecd? [22:53] yes [22:53] im on it right now [22:53] I have 2 internal HD's on my laptop (Sony Viao). I want to MOVE my /home directory from one HD (SDA1) to the other . . . any ideas how? [22:53] how can i install QT3? [22:53] SamanthaGothLove--> you can save the contents of /etc/network/interfaces for the configs [22:54] amenado: inpro 2220 [22:54] misteralexander: make the partition on the second disk, copy /home across change the /etc/fstab reboot [22:54] misteralexander: create your new home partition.. copy *everything* to the new home.. change in fstab.. reboot [22:54] sweetgum: same way you install ncurses [22:54] thats one of the good things about running the live cd everything gets detected most of the time [22:54] amenado: or impro2220 or something, let me find the exact name [22:54] has anyone else had the issue of firefox randomly freezing the whole computer while scrolling? [22:54] ikonia: ok, its a new laptop with vista if that matters [22:54] dysje--> find the chip it uses too [22:54] srizz: are you trying to use wubi, or boot from the cd [22:54] ikonia: i need the library title that's all [22:54] sweetgum: search [22:54] sweetgum: the package manager has a solid search function [22:55] sweetgum--> i believe qt3 is the default already [22:55] amenado: i meant the chip, the chip is iprocomm IPN 2220, card is edimax EW-7107PCg [22:55] Thanks and bye guys xoxox [22:55] dysje--> what happens when you attempt to use it? [22:56] ikonia: boot from cd [22:56] any ideas... i want to put my 1.8volt ram into a board with the new nehelam processor but it says it maxes at 1.72. but i like my low latency 4-4-4-7 1800mhz ram [22:56] srizz: ok, so vista's not an issue here [22:56] Doc8404: this is ubuntu support - not hardware support [22:56] Doc8404: there are more appropriate channels, but not here please. [22:57] amenado: wireless without encryption works, with WEP too, WPA fails. Also it has some strange quirks, as it won't list networks until i atleast try to connect to one [22:57] etesla: well, I can't find a solution for ya. Sorry. It might be that there is no solution, except to buy a new graphics card that works better with linux. Intrepid has a slightly upgraded version of the driver, but I don't know if that will fix anything for you. So, you might want to give intrepid a try. You could try the vesa driver, and see how well that works too [22:57] ikonia: ok wasn't sure if they made an anti-linux program lol [22:57] im sure though, that thier are plenty of people here with ideas... ive been to hardware and its hit or miss with who u get... im running ubuntu compiz fusion on all my computers so yeah. the computer being upgraded is also ubuntu compiz fusion [22:58] Doc8404: this is not an appropriate channel [22:58] dysje--> its okay to have non encrypted connectivity to your AP, just make sure your firewall is active [22:58] Doc8404: it doesn't matter what OS your running, this channel is not for hardware/overclocking discussion, ubuntu support only [22:58] danbh_intrepid: Gotcha. I installed new drivers a couple days ago; it fixed the opposite problem (console flickering/garbled), but caused the X-flickering problem. There's a patch for AGP and DRM; I'm not sure if that's what'll fix it, but if it does, I'll let you know. [22:58] etesla: good luck [22:59] /whois Doc8404 [22:59] amenado: i am not planning on giving the entire world access to my AP/wireless network and i want it encrypted for security reasons [22:59] oops, sorry [22:59] im me... yeah [22:59] Doc8404: sorry, up arrow on bash [22:59] that wasn't intended [23:00] your nick was still in my buffer [23:00] dysje--> as if the entire world is going to access your AP, try mac filtering [23:00] is there someway i could use to update my nvidia drivers? [23:00] hmmm.... [23:01] amenado: spoofing mac address is easy, very easy even [23:01] What's the channel for the next Ubuntu release? #ubuntu+1 ? [23:01] etesla: correct [23:01] ikonia: i still have no clue, any luck? [23:01] ikonia: Thanks. [23:01] amenado: i use WPA+mac filtering with some other stuff behind it [23:01] dysje--> then make your driver to support WPA [23:01] srizz: I can't see a senario that would cause that [23:01] dysje, what kind of router are you on [23:02] ikonia: me either seeing that its a brand new comp [23:02] Doc8404: Draytek device, but i am also testing with a seperate AP [23:02] does somebody have ut2004 installed? [23:03] amenado: it does somewhat support WPA, just not in the normal fashion, all tutorials on the big intarwheb aren't working much, and i am reading a lot about wireless getting really bad in 8.04 compared to 7.10 [23:03] ikonia: would trying it in safe graphics mode help [23:03] dysje, creat a wep2 password for it. mac address filtering is a bit overkill... but if you want to you can set it up. just make sure you write down everything that is connected to your routers mac address and input them, otherwise you can get locked out. some routers like mine even lock hardwiring if the macadress is locked [23:03] srizz doubt it, thats nothing to do with udev - but try it === N1ckR_ is now known as N1ckR [23:04] Doc8404: i'll manage,but WEP/WEP2 (64/128bit) can be cracked within 3 seconds, not quite secure... [23:04] dysje, 128bit encryption is not that easy to crack... where people find trouble is broadcasting on wifi... thats easy to get by [23:04] Doc8404: i need to keep my network as secure as possible and without using VPN/RADUIS or LEAP/EAP/etc i am stuck with WPA [23:05] can anyone recommend how to fix a laptop that freezes upon closing the lid, which then needs a reboot- running 8.04, with all Visual Effects to None, Power Management and Screensaver settings are set to Blank Screen.... [23:05] I recall it having to do with the flgrx driver... but I've forgotten how to fix it...... IBM Thinkpad T60, ATI X1300 [23:05] xorg shows that the "Device" has one line: "Configured Video Driver" and I've tried the ForcePipeA option which didn't work [23:06] CaptainMorgan: xorg is dynamic now, you have to hardcode the xorg.conf file if you want to change things [23:06] Doc8404: it's not just a home network, and i want to switch a few computers over to linux, from XP, and i'm testing, seeing where the problems are, but on a completely wireless network .... having wireless not working is annoying [23:06] ikonia, sorry, what's your point? [23:06] CaptainMorgan: I thought you where saying you didn't know what to do [23:07] dysje, ive never seen a huge issue with the wireless. im running wireless n MIMO wpa2 with mac address filtering. and our oldest computer running as a server monitors all in out and blocked. the system has medical computers and software running off linux on them and its never been hit [23:07] what port is ssh usually on? 21? [23:07] kansan: 22 === goingUp is now known as gray1 [23:07] ikonia, with regard to fixing this error I don't know what to do - but telling me to change xorg in a general fashion isn't very helpful either, considering that I just reported that I've changed it === gray1 is now known as goingUp [23:08] CaptainMorgan I didn't see you report that you'd changed it, I thought you where confused as you said it only had on line in it === david is now known as Guest90968 [23:08] ikonia, please read it a more carefully, I said one line under "Device" [23:08] CaptainMorgan: the way it read was that you didn't understand why it had only one line, which is why I tried to explain [23:08] no [23:08] Doc8404: that's WPA2, exactly what i'm trying to get to, to avoid using WEP, but WPA/WPA2 isn't working at all on these systems, and it seems like it won't on 8.10 either and reports on the internet suggest that my card used to work perfectly in 7.10 [23:08] dysje im running here on mine:) === Guest90968 is now known as seewee [23:09] ikonia, it can have as many lines as it wants, - that's not the problem. The problem is trying to fix this driver bug [23:09] which in retrospect, has something to do with flgrx [23:09] CaptainMorgan: then contact ati [23:09] omg === ssee is now known as seewee [23:10] anyone else want to take a stab? [23:10] CaptainMorgan: I've not seen a clear desciption of the issue, [23:10] nope [23:10] Okay, so in trying to sync my zune with amarok, I've read it's not possible. But Amarok is recognising that it's a zune, and shows the media list, but doesn't allow me to put music on it. Is there any chance? The fact that it says zune gives me hope. [23:10] CaptainMorgan: only that your xorg file had one line it and you change / added one line under it [23:10] dysje check this out http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/bcm4318-wireless-failure-upgrading-from-ubuntu-7.10-to-8.04-hardy-heron-641715/ [23:11] can anyone recommend how to fix a laptop that freezes upon closing the lid, which then requires a reboot- running 8.04, with all Visual Effects to None, Power Management and Screensaver settings are set to Blank Screen.... [23:11] Doc8404: i know it's possible, it just isn't working for me and i've really tried a lot [23:11] CaptainMorgan: ahh this has been a known issue with the ati closed source drivers in the past [23:11] if the lid is opened, the system freezes [23:11] ikonia, now how did you miss that? [23:11] CaptainMorgan: it also happened with an nvidia driver ages ago, but that was fixed [23:11] Doc8404: i can connect to all unsecured networks though, so only WPA isn't working and scanning for networks [23:11] CaptainMorgan: I didn't see you post it [23:12] ikonia, did you just log in? [23:12] dysje are you running a broadcom wirless in that laptop [23:12] CaptainMorgan: no [23:12] Amarok recognizes Zune, any chance I can actually get the two to work together? I need to know this before I purchase the mp3 player (I have it plugged in right now). [23:12] well I've been posting it for the past hour or so [23:12] CaptainMorgan: let me see if I can find the launchpad bug for that, it was a known bug [23:12] what bash command can you use to get an array of all the files (or file paths) in a folder? [23:12] so please try to read more carefully [23:12] CaptainMorgan: drop the attitude please [23:12] CaptainMorgan: I am asking you politly to repeat the question [23:12] I found quite a few in relation, but if you know the specific one, by all means [23:13] ikonia, saying please is not an attitude- I would suggest you are the one with the attitude [23:13] CaptainMorgan: I don't sit watching everyline, so instead of me reading more carefully, stop the smart answers [23:13] DCPom--> ls and then try to pipe it to where it puts it in an array perhaps? [23:13] it seems my eth0 card has dropped can some one help me re-enable it? [23:13] CaptainMorgan--> you are the one needing assistance, lower down your barrier [23:14] hi there [23:14] thanks amenado [23:14] Mr_Fixit--> sudo "ifdown eth0; ifup eth0" === shevek is now known as Guest22031 [23:14] dysje, whats the wireless device the computer/laptop your trying to use, and whats the make/model number your trying to connect to [23:15] thanks amenado [23:15] how do I fix the gpg error with apt-get? [23:15] When you choose the "download only" option, where does Synaptic Package Manager put the downloaded packages? [23:15] Mr_ [23:15] ikonia, not sure what your problem is, but I've posted my issue repeatedly for past hour - and I didn't see you say "politely" to repeat, you assumed I didn't know squat about xorg - which I said I had changed a couple of time in relation to the bug- I've been very clear. What barrier amenado? I posted things in detail, no barrier there [23:15] Mr_Fixit--> whats up? [23:15] CaptainMorgan--> attitude barrier, calm down man [23:15] CaptainMorgan: I picked up half the conversation and attempted to help from that, when you corrected me I said I'd not seen the question [23:15] I have a problem: When I click at an url at the terminal, it says that there was an error launching the associated command, looks like firefox is not properly set as the default way of opening links. HOW can I set it up? I've already tried update-alternatives with no luck [23:15] kane77: no such thing as "the gpg error", you need to pastebin it for us to help you :) [23:15] CaptainMorgan: I wanted to understand the question as I'd clearly missunderstood it [23:16] Doc8404: connecting one IPN2220(chip) to an ASUS AP(WL300G), and one prism54 to the same one, and also tried to connect to a draytek AP [23:16] amenado, wlan0 is up [23:16] jrib, http://pastebin.com/m12b24889 [23:16] dysje so which router is up right now [23:16] ikonia, that's fine by me, but your interruption was a little unwarranted given that I had posted some information- " I wanted to understand the question as I'd clearly missunderstood it" this should've been stated from the get-go, not an assumption that I don't understand a line in xorg [23:17] Mr_Fixit--> and you want eth0 to be up too? using same router/gateway? [23:17] that's all I'm saying [23:17] Hiya ... i wanna change my 404 page not found page with custom one ... where does apache load original 404 page not found from ... since in apache2.conf ErrorDocument section is commented out ... [23:17] no.. kill the wifi, use the lan [23:17] CaptainMorgan: enough now - I'm sat here searching launchpad for bugs for you - and I'm getting attitude for it, [23:17] kane77: why are you using those repositories? [23:17] can anyone tell me how to keep a vnc4server session active? I'm hoping to launch azureus so that it does not terminate when I quit vnc [23:18] Mr_Fixit--> sudo "ifdown wlan0; ifup eth0" [23:18] jrib, I like mucommander, and I was trying to install a game from the second one [23:19] f|uke--> i think you have to use x11vnc instead of that vnc4server [23:19] can someone please tell me how to access compiz for the 3d cube within ubuntu eee? installed it but doesnt appear in preferences tab [23:19] umm.. says command not found [23:19] dysje so im going to consider you to be a very intelligent person... so i will skip some little things. when u click the wireless connect on ur toolbar does it allow you to put in a wpa2 ? [23:19] f|uke: or just use the remote desktop functionality built in [23:19] jrib, there is a command I should run at mucommander site, but for some reason it don't work [23:19] Mr_Fixit--> sudo ifdown wlan0; sudo ifup eth0 [23:19] can not do that, Slart. The box has no videocard. :) I'll look into that, amenado. Thanks [23:19] can someone please tell me how to access compiz for the 3d cube within ubuntu eee? installed it but doesnt appear in preferences tab [23:19] then the bugs you find would be interesting... I've found such like 103127, 43056 and another that suggested that bit about ForcePipeA [23:19] jrib, http://apt.mucommander.com/ [23:19] kane77: you need to make sure these repositories are intended for use on the ubuntu version you are using. For example, using random debian repositories is likely to bork your system. Have you made sure they are intended for ubuntu? [23:20] Doc8404: both, and both are working with other wireless clients, i'm just trying to connect these as well, when i connnect from ubuntu, it asks me for a WPA key, it clearly sees it to be TKIP but it will throw the same window at me after a minute or so [23:20] which didn't work [23:20] CaptainMorgan: I'm not progressing this any futher [23:20] !repeat > zender272 [23:20] zender272, please see my private message [23:20] f|uke: oh... I think x11vnc requires a running session to work [23:20] ikonia, then stop talking to me [23:20] f|uke: there might be some kind of keep alive setting in vnc that I don't know about [23:20] CaptainMorgan: I just did - I said "enough" [23:20] fjuke: a normal vnc server session never exits. It should be there just as you left it when you last connected. Note that this is *not* the same as connecting to a remote desktop, which *will* go away when you log out [23:20] Hiya ... i wanna change my 404 page not found page with custom one ... where does apache load original 404 page not found from ... since in apache2.conf ErrorDocument section is commented out ... [23:20] Doc8404: that's the normal connect through nm-applet, but manual setup doesn't work either [23:20] amenado, thanks.. that did it [23:21] jrib, on the webpage it says it's for ubuntu as well.. [23:21] dysje so it accepts it, but never fully connects. it lets you through security and then fails after that [23:21] ikonia, once again, not being very clear. [23:21] can anyone recommend how to fix a laptop that freezes upon closing the lid, which then requires a reboot- running 8.04, with all Visual Effects to None, Power Management and Screensaver settings are set to Blank Screen.... [23:21] Doc8404: actually, it connects but doesn't authenticate [23:21] losher, I'm using vnc4server. There is no real desktop, only virtual. Quitting and resuming results in a fresh interface [23:21] kane77: yes, I see that for mucommander. Not for the other one. You need "sudo apt-key" instead of just "apt-key" [23:21] I have a problem: When I click at an url at the terminal, it says that there was an error launching the associated command, looks like firefox is not properly set as the default way of opening links. HOW can I set it up? I've already tried update-alternatives with no luck [23:21] anyone please? [23:22] what is best policy for a small nameserver fo only a few domains? Write them in named.conf or just make seperate conf files for them and include them? [23:22] which in retrospect, has something to do with flgrx [23:22] dysje ok so a known password works on the other operating systems just not the ubuntu. im on the same page as you correct [23:22] whats the current ubuntu release by name for my apt/sources.list [23:22] jarco: use a 3rd party dns server, you need 2 dns servers to host zones properly [23:22] Doc8404: even work on a nintendo wii :p [23:22] jarco: unless you have 2 static name servers available [23:22] xorg shows that the "Device" has one line: "Configured Video Driver" and I've tried the ForcePipeA option which didn't work [23:22] losher: it works! [23:22] docmur: it's the release you have installed [23:22] !version | docmur [23:22] docmur: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -rc » in a !shell [23:22] ikonia: i use bind i just ment the config files [23:23] your a retard [23:23] losher: only problem now is that I'm getting some "new restricted drivers in use" in the top right task bar... just ignore that? [23:23] Doc8404: also 2 vista clients and 4 XP clients atm work with it flawlessly, previously on the same devices XP worked nicely with WPA etc. now.. in ubuntu, WPA won't work [23:23] its to learn that i use it === _aixing is now known as aixing [23:23] "you're" [23:23] docmur: cat /etc/apt/sources.lst also shows that [23:23] logivision: amazing! [23:23] jrib, my connection is really lagging, so I will probably go, thank you for your help [23:23] losher: i know it's exciting [23:23] dysje are you 32 or 64 bit [23:23] Apologies for the repeat, but: does anyone know where the Synaptic package manager drops files when you choose the download only option? [23:23] Doc8404: 32 === _LordC is now known as LordC [23:23] kane77: no problem [23:24] etesla /var/cache/apt/archives [23:24] etesla: I think there's a cache somewhere.. I'd guess somewhere in the /var tree [23:24] noodlesgc: Hey, thanks. [23:24] losher: any idea bout the new restrected driver thing though.. just ignore it ?? [23:24] etesla: sorry I can't be more specific [23:24] Hey Guys! Using bash as a shell with bashishtheme installed cause im a console junky :p and i installed "fortune" (once again, nerd) however, im unsure of where to put the information to have it laucnch each time i pop open a terminal (or ssh in for that matter) [23:24] logivision: google says the warning goes away after reboot :-) [23:24] Doc8404: the issue seems to be that wpa_supplement isn't getting the wireless card(through ndiswrapper) to communicate the WPA keys to the AP [23:24] Slart: No problem, noodlesgc got it, and I appreciate it anyway. :) [23:24] losher: after a second reboot? [23:24] deathtech ~/.bashrc [23:24] deathtech: .bash_profile or .bashrc [23:25] see i looked and couldnt seem to find that file, lemme dbl check brb [23:25] losher: i'll give it a try :) [23:25] logivision: supposedly, but I'm only guessing... [23:25] jrib, and you were right, it was missing sudo before apt-key.. I would have not guessed that from the error message I got [23:25] <-- idiot, thanks guys :p [23:26] dysje whats it do if u do this sudo ifup wlan0 [23:26] anyone know a program that can convert an mp3 to a video format? [23:26] how can i get the files from my windows to ubuntut? [23:27] Trinithis: What do you mean by video format? The mp3 doesn't have any video on it? [23:27] azlx: ntfs configuration tool [23:27] can someone please tell me how to access compiz for the 3d cube within ubuntu eee? installed it but doesnt appear in preferences tab [23:27] DubAndy: I just want a black video with the audio in the background [23:27] fjuke: I think that's by design for vnc4server. [23:27] Azlx: your windows drives should be available in ubuntu if you're dual-booting [23:27] Azlx: install ntfs-3g and get them from the drives through ubuntu, use an USB drive, burn a CD, copy over network, all depending on your situation [23:28] ok. [23:28] !ccsm > zender272 [23:28] zender272, please see my private message [23:28] dysje did you try it? [23:28] !flgrx [23:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about flgrx [23:28] !ati [23:28] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:28] Doc8404: was rebooting the system, typing now [23:28] oh ok lol === Zero is now known as Noobunt [23:29] is there any advantage to actual dual booting as opposed to wubi? [23:29] fjuke: Try just: vncserver :2 (adjust number as needed) [23:29] Doc8404: it says it's ignoring unknown interface [23:29] !troll [23:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about troll [23:29] then its working fine... [23:29] lol [23:29] fjuke: the connect using vncviewer :2 [23:29] fjuke: *then* connect using vncviewer :2 [23:29] anyone know anything about flgrx and its potential bugs? [23:29] Doc8404: i know, because it works perfectly when not using WPA(2)\ [23:30] lol dysje, have you looked into this http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ [23:30] CaptainMorgan: you have to be a lot more specific unless you just want a link to bugs.ubuntu.com [23:30] I have a strange issue to fix. The user of one of the linux boxes here decided to compile and install some packages from source tarballs instead of the repository prebuilt packages. It is possible that this didn't cause the issue, but after this, now all text in Gnome except for the terminal font and the panel menus appear as squares instead of letters. I've tried reinstalling the packages that I can find that he overwrote, but no luck. Any ideas? ;_; [23:30] Doc8404: on another location i use an open network with VPN security, and that works perfectly [23:30] is that the ntfs configuration tool? [23:30] jrib, -> can anyone recommend how to fix a laptop that freezes upon closing the lid, which then requires a reboot- running 8.04, with all Visual Effects to None, Power Management and Screensaver settings are set to Blank Screen.... [23:30] xorg shows that the "Device" has one line: "Configured Video Driver" and I've tried the ForcePipeA option which didn't work [23:30] is there any advantage to actual dual booting as opposed to wubi?? [23:31] tried some research on the bugs already reported... hence the ForcedPipeA... but no avail [23:31] Noobunt not really, it will be easier to switch permanently if you partition. [23:31] dysje i know some people who use http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ and it connects and helps them manage better than what comes in ubuntu 8.04 [23:32] i want to tri boot ubuntu, sabayon and ubuntu. I have the Wubi already, when i tri boot and install grub, will i be able to select ubuntu or will i have to reinstall on a seperate partition? [23:32] i mean ubuntu, windows and sabayon [23:33] Noobunt I'm pretty sure you will still be able to select ubuntu [23:33] noodlesgc, i was wonderin because the loader for ubuntu in wubi is grub4dos, but ill be getting rid of the bootloader permanently and installing grub [23:34] Noobunt oh, I didn't know it used grub4dos, Im not sure what will happen [23:34] hello! I'm trying to install a font to the user dir, and the fonts aren't showing up in GNOME.. I'm looking for troubleshooting tips (e.g. any error messages?) [23:34] Doc8404: I kind of thought wcid did what manual config did, but i'll try it anyway [23:34] Ubuntu's built in wireless manager sucks! Can anyone tell me if there is anything better? [23:35] I've tried running fc-cache and it doesn't recognize the new fonts (PCF fwiw) [23:35] sqawerlz try wicd [23:35] meh, i just isntalled via wubi today, not much loss if i have to reinstall on an actual partition [23:35] sqawerlz: or just use iwconfig directly [23:35] sqawerlz: the new one in 8.10 is better :D [23:35] hi can somebody tell me why i dont get the grub list after installing, but get a grub shell? [23:35] updated to 0.7 [23:35] iwconfig terminal? [23:35] Im not getting 8.10 unless it is out of beta [23:36] I am using Ubuntu 8.10 BETA in my notebook. The wireless driver "wl" not support "monitor mode"? I am trying to use Kismet, but don't work! [23:36] Hmm my bank of America online account is showing some kind of error [23:36] can you take a SS of the new one? [23:36] i have problems connecting to some WPA networks [23:36] shiiizoon ask in #ubuntu+1 [23:36] dysje no its a little different [23:36] hi [23:36] noodlesgc okay, thanks [23:36] will the flash sound problem be fixed in intrepid? [23:36] anyone know of a program that can check movie files for errors? I have old discs lying around with xvid movies, and some of them have chopping/loss. I need a way to check them without watching the movie :) [23:37] wib: if intrepid doesn't use pulseaudio most likely [23:37] wib find the launchpad bug report for your issue and check the status [23:37] 8.10 use pulseaudio. [23:37] :( [23:37] wib: they're already fixed. [23:38] wib: we uploaded the last bits yesterday. [23:38] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS anyone have problems connecting to some WPA netowkrs? [23:38] But the flashplayer in 8.10 is much better :D [23:38] !8.10 [23:38] Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu [23:38] crimsun: what do i have to do? [23:38] wib: and by "fixed", I mean sound works on both 32- and 64-bit installs. [23:38] ok i did something very BAD.. i read on a forum that in order to get desktop effects on ubuntu eee i have to disable the MENU. and so si unchecked the UME LAUNCHER from SESSIONS and now i can't access the menu if i press the leftup button.. actually nothing happens.. and im left with an empty desktop [23:38] wib: well, you need to be running current 8.10 for starters [23:39] sqawerlz, it's a common problem with lots of wireless cards due to driver issues [23:39] crimsun: ah ok, so in 3 weeks when i install 8.10 i can hope for this to run smoothly? yey [23:39] synergy is just... amazing [23:39] best application i've tried in years [23:40] kenois: What does it do? [23:40] brieze what do i do? [23:40] it allows you to use your keyboard and mouse on multiple computers very easily [23:40] I use synergy between my Mac, Winblows XP, and Ubuntu box every day [23:41] Doc8404: i am working on it, thanks for your help so far [23:41] I love it [23:41] hi [23:41] it's fanastic, i didn't even know it existed until a few hours ago [23:41] i want to install ADSL SAGEM 800 to ubuntu ? [23:42] kenois: there are a couple things out there that does the same thing by Synergy is by far the best if you use different platforms [23:42] hi can somebody tell me why i dont get the grub list after installing, but get a grub shell? [23:42] I need to print to a com port. Is that possible? [23:42] ok i did something very BAD.. i read on a forum that in order to get desktop effects on ubuntu eee i have to disable the MENU. and so si unchecked the UME LAUNCHER from SESSIONS and now i can't access the menu if i press the leftup button.. actually nothing happens.. and im left with an empty desktop. how do i go back to SESSIONS [23:42] well i only run GNU/Linux on my computers, what are the advantages of the other solutions shocm ? [23:42] is there an easy way to emulate a job running as a cron job [23:42] Forgot where to enable my desktop monitor, im on a laptop and the extra monitor plugged in isnt workin [23:42] dysje the only way to learn in linux is from each other lol [23:42] trying to debug a script which works fine when ran, but not as cron [23:43] Doc8404: thats true :p [23:43] and editing crontab every few minutes is annoying [23:43] losher: you still here? help 2.0? [23:43] losher: lol [23:43] Doc8404: that also seems to be a weakness somehow [23:43] logivision: I'm here, what's up? [23:43] Anyone here using Linuxdc? [23:44] kenios: None really I saw. There is one specific for Macs 'transmit I think' but they all do the same thing [23:44] or another dc++ client? [23:44] losher: The program we use prints without a print driver, it's all built into the program (which I'm running with wine) and it just sends the text to the com port.. Would this be possible in Linux ? [23:44] i want install ADSL SAGEM 800 to ubuntu ? [23:44] has anyone else had trouble installing Oracle 10g in Ubuntu because of "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable. [23:44] kenios: only issue I run into is clipboard goes weird on my sometimes [23:44] st23am: are you using Sun java? [23:45] dysje i see it as a strength.. look at how much money isnt spent... yeah you spend time but you also learn too. look at how much more you can do in linux. look how personal you can make it, and its honostly safer than windows by far [23:45] I believe so [23:45] kenios: either it wont carry over or it flat out wont work on one system [23:45] kitche: I believe so I will check [23:45] I want vim, but the full vim, not the smaller one installed in ubuntu-server by default. when I apt-get install vim-full , it trys to download X, and I dont want X [23:45] kenios: using Ubuntu 8.10 and I seem to have a problem with it crashing on my which is a new problem [23:45] logivision: I don't see why not. That's kind of how printers used to work before usb and parallel ports. [23:46] I'm having problems with flash movies stopping every 4 or 5 seconds. Reinstalling flash doesn't help/ [23:46] losher: nevermind. it works! it was a problem with the print buffer already being full before [23:46] losher: :) [23:46] kenios: let me know if you are interested and I can point you to a link to auto start synergy on Ubuntu [23:46] ive had a look at apt-cache search vim and im not sure which package has the full vim but no x11 [23:46] losher: so far this is looking great! [23:46] logivision: so the touch stuff all works! [23:46] What do I need to install to allow me to configure my second monitor plugged into my Laptop? [23:46] AussieGuy: Something like vim-full or vim-complete [23:46] shocm, got that running already man, but thank you :) [23:47] AussieGuy: vim-nox [23:47] kenois: np [23:47] how can i tell a livecd from an alternate cd without booting with it? [23:47] ill try vim-nox [23:47] Hey guys, i have downloaded an application (Maniadrive) and it shows two files in the directory, start.sh and init.sh , i tried a sudo sh start.sh, but it only returns the error that it couldnt change to some directory, im doing it wrong! lol help ? [23:47] shocm, another nice feature would be to be able to move actual applications across computers, seamlessly [23:47] kenois, yeah that's a little different scenerio :-) [23:47] nonewmsgs: md5sum [23:47] losher: it sure does! [23:47] kitche: looks like I mighthave the java from Ubuntu's repo [23:48] losher: is it possible to load to the desktop without having to type in a user? [23:48] kenois your talking about an architecture that does exist... but its incredibly hard to use... mounting two motherboards into the same system allows it but yeah [23:48] Doc8404: the personalisation is good for some, but many don't care, they just want to turn on their computer and make it work, like a microwave. the group with those demands is extremely large. Making things too complex might be a great thing for some, but a problem for others. Even windows drops the ball there and osx is trying to get close, but is limiting other parts of the system while doing so. on the other hand,i meant something else, [23:48] because of the freedom in programming, standards are sometimes difficult to find and people write programs towards their own view. make others adjust themselves to the programmers view, instead of the other way around. This might be a non-issue for those that like tweaking systems, but for others it's a nightmare to relearn programs. Although it's not such a problem in say, configfiles location, it does reflect on the GUI and required knowledge of [23:48] CLI. [23:48] shocm, absolutely :) [23:49] Doc8404, really? where can i read up on it ? [23:49] so its been a while since I used ubuntu but it seems like flash has gotten worse, am I right? [23:49] I'm having problems with flash viedeos and other web based media. They seem to stop every 3 seconds. [23:49] makes a hostile environment for newcomers [23:49] greedyb, flash has always been fucking horrible imo [23:49] kenois i believe its called the beowolf project if im not mistaken [23:49] kenois: No need for the profanity here. [23:49] kenois, I remember using it and firefox not crash every other session.. now it seems like it crashs ALOT :( [23:49] logivision: I think there is an autologin feature if that's what you mean. Google "gnome autologin" [23:49] anyone have success with flgrx ? maybe I should remove it... [23:50] Hey guys, anyone want to assit a helpless person who has been sitting in front of his computer for four hours trying to get wireless internet to work on his Dell E1505 machine? [23:50] d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e [23:50] losher: thanks. also, how do i get a program to startup? [23:50] dysje thats true, and thankfully more than one prog exists for each thing [23:50] Pici, i am just flushing out some latent hatred against adobe's flash solution :) i apoligize [23:50] !md5sum | nonewmsgs [23:50] nonewmsgs: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [23:50] Hey guys, i have downloaded an application (Maniadrive) and it shows two files in the directory, start.sh and init.sh , i tried a sudo sh start.sh, but it only returns the error that it couldnt change to some directory, im doing it wrong! lol help ? [23:51] greedyb, supposedly the new flash beta is supposed to run better, you might want to try it out and see if it can help you [23:51] hi [23:51] what are the tools to get into the topic of wifi [23:51] kenois, where can the flash beta be snagged? [23:51] debug it, scan, etc etc [23:51] losher: so i'm using gnome not kde ? [23:51] is there a simple to use daemon or tool that would allow me to specific SSH tunnels to redirect traffic to? I'd like to specify different SSH tunnels based upon domain name [23:52] LimCore wifi is incredibly unsecure. a simple program you can sit in starbucks and read everyones ims, emails, and see what photos they are looking at [23:52] looks like the full vim to me, :syntax on works so thanks [23:52] DigitalFiz, it is available on adobe's web site [23:52] shingen: yes [23:52] ty kenois [23:52] Doc8404: not with WAP2, and not if Im on https. that was not my quetion however [23:52] kevin7kal: and the name of the app? :) [23:52] DigitalFiz, here is a direct link: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [23:53] Anyone here have any advice on how to get wireless internet to wrok? [23:53] Doc8404: luckily yes, and i like ubuntu and linux in general now that i've learned to use it etc. but it does have a few weaknesses and i also had to learn about the many different programs and the difference between KDE/Gnome/XFCE and the likes, regarding libs etc. [23:53] !wifi [23:53] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:53] logivision: *You're* supposed to tell *me* that. run "ps ax|egrep dm" and see if you're running gdm or kdm [23:53] shingen: he-he, that's always the tricky part, isn't it...remembering the name :-) [23:53] shingen: gtunnel or something like that [23:53] I've just partioned up a disk and I'm trying to get the UUID but the new partitions aren't in/dev/disk/by-uuid/ -- is there a way to refresh the UUIDs available? [23:54] kenois, the tar right? or the rpm? [23:54] kevin7kal: well, I'm already using tsocks, but that's for commandline only... I'd like something that replaces the default gnome proxy command with something more configurable and robust [23:54] dysje yes but its better that way. at least that way when a program goes down its not oh crap my computers totaled. its hmmm... which line is broken [23:54] DigitalFiz, i recommend getting the tar, there is a precompiled binary there (the .so) file, just move it to the appropriate directory and restart firefox [23:54] k... got confirmation that flgrx isn't even installed... so it must be running open source Radeon [23:55] kenois, ty again [23:55] np [23:55] shingen: there's one I was just using [23:55] kevin7kal: I do see an ssh tunnel manager for gnome by the name of gtunnel, I'll read up on it... thanks for the start [23:55] kevin7kal: if you have another one, I'll try that too :) [23:55] shingen: I think that's the one [23:55] kenois, thats right flash is closed source so its all precompiled [23:56] !BT3 [23:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about bt3 [23:56] gtunnel looks like a daemon to start ssh tunnels... don't need that.. actually need a robust replacement for the gnome network proxy, that will allow me to specify multiple SOCKS proxies based upon domain name [23:57] Doc8404: it definately is better, yes [23:57] kenois, where could I find the beta w/ instructions? I'm googling but I see nothing thats up to date [23:57] shingen: gstm ? [23:57] I need some help, I can't get WINE to run any Windows apps correctly. I'm running an Intel chipset, 915 graphics card and a Celeron 1.6gHZ processor. [23:58] nickelpat mine never worked for anything [23:58] Does anyone know where I could find the Flash Beta? [23:58] xdieeeeeeee [23:58] * LimCore murders his ubuntu with a rake [23:58] greedy try adobes website [23:59] is it just me, or recently ubuntu waits 15-60 second before shuitting down (before closing desktop) ... wth [23:59] shingen: yes, gstm is what I was thinking. I think it even saves the passwords in your key ring [23:59] kevin7kal: k, I'll look at that too [23:59] kevin7kal: thanks
