I want to use LVM....2 questions: 1st: Do I first use the whole HD as 1 PV and then make the needed LV's, which I format as f.ex. ext3 ? -2nd: Can my boot partition (/) be part of a LVM ? [00:12] kevin7kal: ahh, I've used gtsm before... it manages tunnels... it lacked the features I required (-D for socks-like proxies)... but it doesn't do the network proxy portion... I don't need a SSH manager... I actually need a super configurable proxy manager like tsocks, but works at a daemon level to redirect all traffic [00:12] does a more robust version of gnome network proxy manager exist, so that I can redirect traffic to different SOCKS proxies by domain name? Or is that something that can only be done by iptables? [00:12] whats a good network traffic monitor for ubuntu? [00:12] Danskmand: if your using a single disk - lvm is not really needed, more so as you'll need a /boot [00:13] Danskmand: lvm works better if you use the whole disk as a pv, but you can use partitions [00:13] MetalHeadDead: firestarter does some basic monitoring [00:13] Why would you need a /boot, isn't that no longer necessary === GhOsT_KiLleR is now known as FireBreaker === FireBreaker is now known as Fire [00:14] ikonia: I know I wont really need LVM for a single disk, but I would like to because I might want to put more in later.... [00:14] is there an easy way to send an existing process to the background. my XDMCP login froze up (but the processes are still running okay), and I'd like to send some of those running processes to the background so I can turn this remote machine off [00:14] Danskmand: then configure lvm when you put more disks in later [00:15] i would ctrl-z it, but i can't access that shell anymore [00:15] 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 ? [00:15] Anyone here running Ubuntu on a Macbook? [00:15] i moved the file to opt/data where it requested, and when i run it , it works, but i feel like im doing it wrong.... [00:15] ikonia: Oh, that can be done later ? - Make several ext3-partitions and put data on, and then later convert the whole thing to LVM ? [00:16] Danskmand: can do, quite easy [00:16] deathtech: if it is working, what might be wrong, is drive mania working now? [00:16] i mean yeah, but i had to move it to opt/data , and i have to run using sudo [00:17] Ok....I dont think that was possible on the AIX machines back in the days (1998) when I learned LVM :-) [00:17] Do you need a Firewall software when using Ubuntu? [00:17] deathtech: i would say that is fine then [00:17] What filesystem would you use on ubuntu ? [00:17] Ikonia: [00:17] deathtech: a lot of programs would require sudo to run, especially something that sounds like it does something with drives...?

[00:18] deathtech: does the game load now? with sudo?.. i guess just use sudo, not that big of a deal? [00:19] hey guys guess what! [00:19] shingen: re: proxies, I think it depends on your requirements. Can you say more about what you're trying to do? [00:19] nah not htat big of a deal, im a windows admin making the nix plunge and jsut testing the water, figured it shouldnt need restrictive access or me to move it to a specific directory to install, wanted to make sure i was doing it right [00:19] hi! I'm looking for some info about a way to automate the creation/management of subdomains. I'm looking for keywords I should be googling. anyone got suggestions? [00:20] just also i ahve downloaded a few programs and most of them ccome with data files, init.sh and start.sh , and considering i want to know procedure for installing these, or are they pre built and ready to run like this application [00:20] deathtech: to install yes, to move depends no the chmod [00:20] Hi people!!

[01:24] sweetgum:sorry i don't know, but it sounds like that ha ssomething to do with the kernel. ask the guys in #linux [01:24] sorry its for rmadisk [01:25] ivo there is pico if you download it [01:25] i hate vi === PoisonArrow is now known as CrysOfPandemoniu [01:25] i try to use vi, but after few hours i'm tired === CrysOfPandemoniu is now known as CryOfPandemonium [01:25] i despise vi, get pico [01:26] pico is the same like nano [01:26] i don't know of nano, but pico is great [01:26] the first thing I do when I finish a debian install is to make vim the default editor instead of nano. :) [01:27] there's a default editor? [01:27] Hi! i need help. mouted drive in windows with samba, i get random network drive disconnection errors and/or when compying files from or to this network drive i get error - cannot copy file - specified network name is no longer available [01:27] i found on google emacs [01:28] MrWizeGuy1983: yeah - /usr/bin/editor or something. [01:28] used for vi* commands. [01:28] md22: k thanks, could you tell me how to edit menu.lst in a text editor? [01:28] who knew, i always type gedit or pico then the file name [01:29] sweetgum, you should be able to type gksudo gedit menu.lst if you're in the same folder as it is [01:29] hello if you guys had to choose a system to install ubuntu (for multimedia and coding) which on ewould you choose : 1)Athlon x2 6000, 4GB ram ,radeon HD380,Creative Xfi sound card or 2)Pentium D 2GHZ ,Intel GMA950, 2GB ram,onboard sound [01:30] md22, i'd use it on the 64 bit one [01:30] 64 bit ubuntu is great [01:30] pentium d is nice too, but it's a 32 bit [01:30] I'd used it on the 32 bit one [01:31] why would you do that? [01:31] 32 bit is becoming a thing of the past... [01:32] my computer is so old [01:32] :) [01:32] overclock that badboy then :) [01:32] lol [01:32] fion:any advantage in choosing the 32bit over the 64 bit ? [01:32] it's easier to set up the 32 [01:33] but 64 is faster and more future compatible [01:33] I just use it not for a long time [01:33] MrWizeGuy1983: I dont think 64 is really faster [01:33] so am I [01:33] LimCore, why do you believe that? [01:33] 64bit can be faster depending if the full memory bus size is used when doing computations [01:33] I used to 32 bit [01:33] if it's not, then it's not faster at all :) [01:33] 64 bit can be a bit more secure I guess, but most important - it simply will allow to use more then 4, 8 GB ram+swap easly [01:34] are the xfi sound blaster cards and the radeon hd3850 cards compatible with linux ? [01:34] more secure? uh, no [01:34] transmitting 64 bits of data at a time or 32 seems rather plain, of course the bus speed matters, but it's faster overall [01:34] the data is transmitted at the same intervals [01:34] the chip itself is twice as fast, but the bandwidth of the fsb is a limiting factor [01:35] shingen: in theory, 64 bits could offer more stack and other randomizations, but I dont think ubuntu uses that [01:35] well in 64 bit mode you can access more registers [01:35] afair [01:35] my experience with my core 2 duo on 64 bit linux is that it's so fast it's ridiculous, and also used 32 and 64 bit vista on the same computer [01:36] 64 bit vista runs almost as fast as 32 bit xp, which doesn't run almost as fast as any linux, but still [01:36] hi, started using Subclipse in Eclipse, forgot what i clicked and now most php files start with "<<< .mine" ... how can i go back and removed added files *.php.mine && *.phpr0 ?

But left click still works. how do I fix this? [01:39] Alastair27: You will be able to upgrade. [01:40] is nfs multi threaded?

[01:51] I didn't set that up, how do I fix that [01:51] <_albertux_> hi does anybody knows how to unistall untangle ? [01:51] How do i compare two folders to see which files are missing? [01:51] i have a folder with a bunch of txt files (sans extensions) in various subdirectories. what would the easiest way to append '.txt' to their names be? [01:52] jmk2: Try using diff .. diff some_dir other_dir | sort [01:52] jribI didn't set that up, how do I fix that? [01:52] jabagawee: You can probably do something very clever with command line substitution [01:53] _Zeus_: can you think of anything i can do? [01:53] jabagawee: you have anyway of identifying those files that you want to rename? a script is easy, but unless you want to rename every file to end with txt, you need some sort of filters. [01:53] ykphuah, umm, i basically want every file, minus the directories to have .txt appended to it [01:54] jabagawee: I'd suggest find is probably the simplest option [01:55] jabagawee: go into the directory, and run this "find ./ -type f -exec mv \{} \{}.txt \;" [01:55] ykphuah beat me to it :) [01:55] jabagawee: that will rename every file to end with a txt. [01:55] oh shoot, i forgot to delete the files ending with ~ first.. [01:56] how do i remove all files ending in ~.txt? [01:56] jabagawee: that's simple -> "find ./ -name "*~.txt" -exec rm \{} \;" [01:57] what does "\;" mean? [01:57] DarwinS-Sup-eus-: meh, this return anything: aptitude search '~dproxy~i' [01:57] i'm assuming that \{} stands for the files that match the search [01:57] jabagawee: everything behinds the -exec line, you need to escape it if it looks like some special variable in shell. [01:57] jabagawee, ykphuah: find has -delete fwiw [01:57] jabagawee: so its actually just {} ; [01:58] jabagawee: so the semicolon is just to end the -exec command. [01:58] ah, escape characters. why is the ";" needed if its just a one line command? [01:58] oh.. i see. what would happen if i left it out? [01:58] jrib: ah, that's something new I learn, thanks! [01:58] jabagawee: well, you can create a temporary directory and some files to try that out. :) [01:59] very true, but i wanna learn the mechanics of it. what happens if i leave out the ;? [01:59] why modem usb not wor in ubuntu [01:59] jabagawee: the best way to learn is by trying. [01:59] work.. [02:00] I have a "check my wifi connection" script that runs on crontab. it works perfectly fine when I run it. However when crontab runs it [02:00] it fails [02:00] is there any reason why that would happen? [02:00] thanks guys :D [02:00] bzaks: I think there's an option in cron to log errors. [02:00] bzaks: check for local mail from cron [02:00] http://pastebin.com/m3be14361 jrib [02:00] bzaks: or you could also pipe the output of your script to a log file yourself. [02:01] truebosko: awesome, thx! [02:01] :-D [02:01] DarwinS-Sup-eus-: nothing stands out there. Are you sure you didn't install any sort of proxy like tor maybe? [02:01] >:o [02:01] better kubuntu or ubuntu [02:02] ? [02:02] can anyone help me to install the drivers for a serial to usb converter? [02:02] if you don't have read/write access to a folder, would that mean you couldn't see the files in the folder? [02:02] .. [02:02] just incase, i was trying to see which files were missing from both directories, where each DIR as hundreds of files, i used: diff -q DIR1 DIR2 | grep -i 'only in' | sort [02:02] Geoffrey2: yeah [02:03] all in this chat speak with none [02:03] roukoun, you may want to explain what kind of 'drivers' they are, did you find source? or kernel patches? or packages or what? [02:03] =1 [02:03] marbisca, try them both. use what you like. [02:03] marbisca, its trivial to have kde and gnome both on the same box. and compare [02:04] i ask to u the very important difference [02:04] marbisca, one uses kde, other uses gnome. [02:04] Any reason why it won't let me "install" the new crontab entry? [02:04] marbisca: it's personal preference. Try both and use what you like [02:05] bzaks: what does that mean? [02:05] and the difference from kde and gnome? [02:05] Dr_willis_: there are three files named: Makefile, pl2303.c and ReadMe.txt... but i dont know who is the installer! [02:05] are only graphic? [02:05] I am still seeking help getting my wireless card to see my router.... [02:06] roukoun, you will need to instgall the basic c developer package 'build-essentials' tghen read that readme.txt and see if it explains how to compile the driver. [02:06] jrib: when I save the new crontab edit, it says "errors in crontab file, retry install?" [02:06] or something to that effect [02:06] marbisca, you may want to google for 'kde vs gnome' You can easially install both and try them each out. [02:06] are only graphics? [02:06] ok [02:06] bzaks: pastebin it [02:06] but I ask to u [02:06] not at google!! [02:07] because anything we tell you about the 2, wont make any sence because you will just keep asking what we mean. :) try the ubuntu live cd.. thatg dnome.. kubuntu is kde.. [02:07] Dr_willis_: in the reame.txt it tells how to install it but the command ('make inst') doesnt work [02:07] roukoun, install the 'build-essential' package. [02:08] Dr_willis_: it is already installed [02:08] roukoun, then the 'make' command should be there.. as for 'make inst' no idea. thats just telling the make program to use the makefile and look for the inst. part.. you sure it dident say 'make install' [02:09] can anyone suggest a video or a tutorial on how to setup a FTP server [02:09] oooh, I got it, I accidentally added in a new line between the timing and the command [02:09] !ftpd | morth_ [02:09] morth_: FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP [02:09] morth_, it would be 'best' to learn to use ssh and scp. and let ftp die out. :) [02:10] Dr_willis: the command make is here!!! but the inst doent work [02:10] roukoun, thats the fault of the docs, or the makefiles/source then. [02:10] hi al, I am on hardy and tried to configure pidgin to use google talk, but t give me an error when tryign to connect, is there somethign I'm missing here? [02:10] how can I assign keyboard shortcuts using the "windows" key? [02:10] first question - are you typing my name for that or is there like a Shift click command to auto type my name? [02:10] hi all [02:10] Second is ssh and scp the "same as ftp"? [02:11] Dr_willis: so what can i do? [02:11] and will other users be able to access the ssh and scp on the website like ftp? [02:11] morth_, 'ssh is secure' - sftp is similer in ussage to ftp. [02:11] hon``, the windows key is the "super" key [02:11] how i install flash player for firfox? [02:11] roukoun, i would reread the install docs, and check the programs homepage/forums/guides.. make inst - would be weird.. 'make' by itself should compile the stuff.. or 'make install' or 'make all' === qb_sleep is now known as qbmaniac [02:12] !ssh morth_ [02:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about ssh morth_ [02:12] how i install flash player for firefox pls? [02:12] apt-cache search firefox | grep flash [02:12] !ssh | morth_ [02:12] morth_: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [02:12] Then aptitude install (packagename) [02:12] could someone suggest a solution to an off-topic prob? i'm having trouble accessing google and gmail, it happened first a few day ago and i was able to circumvent that by typing l [dot] google [dot] com. is there another trick i can use this time? [02:12] is it accessible like a FTP? [02:12] DaCapn, WHAT? [02:12] DCPom: but when I try to type "Super-Q" (Win+Q), it only grabs Super, as if super is not a modifier key [02:12] Dr_willis: gimme a try [02:13] tommy Do you know how to install software in general? [02:13] because i need easy access for my other users to be able to upload and download files [02:13] no I did set up a proxy in ffox I use it to work, but it's currently disabled, I just enable that on demand, and I do it through ffox jrib [02:13] hon``, it works for me, but i'm using xfce right now [02:13] DaCapn, ok got it ty :) [02:13] morth_, basicially yes. === test1345 is now known as darwin|home [02:14] morth_, and its MUCH more secure [02:14] how would my other users access it? [02:14] test1345: I need to leave, but you need to figure out what is setting the http_proxy variable either in ~ or in /etc/ (grep is your friend) [02:14] like ssh://blahblah.com? [02:14] morth_, with ssh clients, or other ways... [02:14] morth_, depending onw hat they want to do. [02:14] Upload and Download [02:14] gnome and kde both have some sort of ssh/filesystem feature in the file manager [02:15] or you can do it from the command line, or mount the remote ssh machine with 'sshfs' or other tools. [02:15] i need Windows/mac/linux OS people to be able to Upload and download files and media on it. [02:15] ssh and its ussage and related commands are documented all over the place.. [02:15] morth_, ssh has clients for all those os's [02:15] morth_, for windows - i use 'winscp' [02:16] okay i might want to try that out [02:16] ill take you're word for it [02:16] how hard is it to setup? [02:16] go read/leran about ssh. its worth learning... [02:16] and importantly use it [02:16] takes me 10 sec to get ssh going on my new installs. [02:17] Does anyone here use Opera on Hardy Heron? Are you experiencing the mind numbing problems with flash and random crashing like I am? [02:17] ssh is the 'jack of all trades' uber-tool of the decade. :) it has so many ussage [02:18] its just a communication protocol [02:18] with a bajillion usses :) [02:18] brb.

[02:25] LimCore, is she heating up? [02:25] bzaks, so you are telling crotab to run /path/to/fancyscript then? [02:25] Sorry, I should've been more clear. The whole command is in a script, and the test condition is not being met (even though it should be) [02:25] sort of... [02:25] other thing... I can not put hd to sleep [02:25] it keeps waking up instantly. wtf [02:25] Dr_willis_ yes [02:26] bzaks, the script is calling #!/bin/bash and not #!/bin/sh ? [02:26] bzaks, im just rembering 'common mistakes' ive seen over the ages.. :) [02:27] Dr_willis_ I hadn't been doing the #!/bin at all, I'll giver the ol' college try [02:27] bzaks, i think that would make it run with 'sh' then.. you may want it to run with bash.

[02:37] can someone please tell me why IBM T21 install ubuntu 8.04 will be dead at 15% ? [02:37] sqawerlz, you should be able to get that from the add-on menu in firefox [02:37] sqawerlz: I repeat, please type about:plugins into Firefox and see what versions of flash and/or gnash are listed there. [02:37] gnash? [02:37] dada: bad disc/dvdrom? [02:37] bobertos when you type about:plugins [02:37] lesterc:yes [02:38] lesterc:sorry no [02:38] DCPom private message?

[02:39] can someone please help me make my 360 controller work with prboom? it works in jscalibrator. it works in windows [02:39] Does anyone know when will the GIMP be update to 2.6 on Hardy? [02:39] bobertos totem is installed as well as a flash plugin called fast media which is supposed to handle flash [02:40] sqawerlz: Only flashplugin-nonfree or flash directly downloaded from Adobe will fully support flash content in web-browsers. [02:41] is it possible to have multiple mount points on the same partition? for instance if i wanted to have all of my bin directories on a single partition could i have part/bin part/usr/bin part/usr/local/bin and then mount them to /bin /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin respectively? [02:41] bobertos, i dont care how i just need to play flash video on the web. tell me what i need to do.

It's not the most stable, but it will work in most cases. [02:43] Ademan, isn't it possible to tell grub to re-scan HDs for bootable partitions? [02:43] Or even set your own manually [02:43] I'm pretty sure i've done the latter in the past [02:43] kwyjibo, this involves invoking gconf-editor from command line [02:43] bobertos, how can i install adobe flash? i downloaded it already. [02:43] Grey_Loki: certainly, but XP and vista both blow away grub when you install them [02:44] bobertos i tried the ./install-sh but it said file didnt exist! [02:44] any ideas? [02:44] kwyjibo - heres a video on youtube movie - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVLKkwzIjrk [02:44] airstrics, is that a command line app or does it require gnome [02:44] Ademan, aha, of course - I was fixing grub after it 'just broke' >.> [02:44] sploozer: The tail "-f" option isn't going to help [02:44] if you install ubuntu *after* windows, the installer will automatically add a boot option for windows, which is really nice [02:44] kwyjibo that video is on how to install a GTK theme in ubuntu [02:44] sysdoc_: centisec thingy fixed it mostly [02:44] but [02:45] IntuitiveNipple: I want to keep track of that file in real time though [02:45] kwyjibo, its both. [02:45] sqawerlz, have you done sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ? [02:45] where can I find the setting to tell jfs filesystem how much to delay to commit to device?

Give the installer the path /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3 [02:46] kwyjibo, yes...explore ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus [02:46] kwyjibo: you *don't* want to edit gconf manually... [02:46] Ademan, why not?

[02:47] kwyjibo: i believe there's a command line tool that will change a key [02:47] Ademan, gconf is merely a collection of xml files...its is not the bloated thing you might mistake it to be the windows registery [02:47] kwyjibo: Log in with a failsafe session [02:47] Ademan, which is just what i have been saying [02:48] Jordan_U, ??? [02:48] airtonix: true but as i recall gconf's files are actually somewhat scattered [02:48] kwyjibo, here is a start : http://www.jennyandlih.com/gconf-editor-command-line [02:48] kwyjibo: Ahh, nvm, [02:48] Ademan, gconf files relevant to a user are in ~/.gconf [02:48] Jordan_U, there is a safe mode? how [02:49] ok... my wic suddendly disconnects and then refuses to connect back until i reboot [02:49] brb [02:49] kwyjibo: Well, there is a safe mode but you choose it from GDM ( the login screen ), so that won't work if GDM won't start :) [02:49] Jordan_U, GDM is running. it just crashes back to it when i try to log in to that user [02:50] http://fpaste.org/paste/7328 suggetions why packetsloss.txt does not get created even tho there are difference between requestfile.txt and replyfile.txt [02:50] kwyjibo: Then go to sessions -> Failsafe Gnome ( or something like that ) from the bottom right menu of GDM [02:50] Jordan_U, checking now [02:51] kwyjibo, in a terminal, running this command will reveal the chosen theme for metacity : gconftool -g /apps/metacity/general/theme [02:51] airtonix: hrm, so they are... has it always been that way? i have a pretty distinct memory of finding some gconf files in, say ~/.evolution [02:51] http://fpaste.org/paste/7328 suggetions why packetsloss.txt does not get created even tho there are difference between requestfile.txt and replyfile.txt [02:52] I'm having difficulty playing some DVDs on my laptop (Ubuntu 8.04). I wanted to rip my library of movies to my external HDD for my own personal portable use. Libdvdcss2 seemed to perform nicely on most of my DVDs, but a couple of them have difficulty with copying over their .VOB files because of input/output errors I'm assuming are associated with encryption. After installing some DVD related packages from synaptec, Movie Player won't even play [02:52] the same DVDs that won't rip. What should I do?

And how about solving my DVD playback issue with movie player? [02:53] what are those [02:53] outlawed codes [02:53] Chris_Foster: You might like a shredder program. [02:53] codecs* [02:53] Chris_Foster: sounds like shred is what you want [02:53] kwyjibo, if you want to change the theme for metacity and gtk then this will be the method you will need to use if a gui is not available for you to use [02:53] someone help me here [02:54] !restricted | badfish [02:54] badfish: 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 [02:54] bobertdos, Ademan: okay, I'll look into a program like that, thanks :) [02:54] Chris_Foster: I do believe there are a couple in the repos.

[03:03] ink1, i just helped someone with this [03:03] ink1: Have you installed the java firefox plugin? [03:03] ink1, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [03:04] tried both, tried symlinking the java-6 and java-5 shared libraries too [03:04] mmm, loves me some apt-get [03:04] I do not seem to have the java-sun-plugin [03:04] badfish, does your controller work with anything on ubuntu ? [03:04] I do not seem to have the sun--java6plugin [03:04] ... [03:04] ink1, it's sun-java6-plugin [03:04] ah [03:04] *sun-java6-plugin [03:04] ink1: What all is listed under about:plugins in Firefox? [03:04] I know [03:04] nothing related to java atm [03:05] OpenJDK icedtea and regular icedtea does not work [03:05] yes [03:05] my emulators [03:05] ink1, did you or didn't you install the plugin? [03:05] badfish, and have you looked at the help.ubuntu .com/community pages yet ? or searched some of the common ubuntu help blogs [03:05] jscalibrator [03:05] ink1: Where have you tried creating your symlinks? [03:05] everything except prboom [03:05] I tried both [03:05] helppppppppp [03:05] i've googled, i've search the forums [03:05] sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-5-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin.so [03:05] oh [03:05] OH [03:05] im having problems with flash player, after i hit play, when there is audio, it starts locking up firefox [03:05] lol [03:05] ink1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:07] AlNahar: Usually, this is due to libflashsupport. It's just a very unstable library. [03:07] badfish, I'm using DVDFab HD Decryptor to rip my No Country For Old Men to my external, which has 21 GBs available. The DVD itself is just under 7 GBs but it's telling me that there's not enough disk space for me to write to. Do you know what gives? [03:07] well, when i had pulseaudio installed earlier, after i installed libflashsupport it fixed it [03:07] but now after removing pulseaudio [03:07] it doesn't fix it [03:08] gluonman: try ripping to your hdd and copying it to the external [03:08] AlNahar: that's because libflashsupport is designed to add support for Pulse. [03:08] badfish, my HDD has less than 5 GBs of available space. [03:09] bye all got to go [03:09] bobertdos: ah ok, but im still having problems even without pulse of flash locking after i hit play [03:09] airtonix, Jordan_U, Ademan. problem fixed. thanks [03:09] gluonman, have you looked through the config files for your dvd ripping software to make sure its not actually ripping to your hdd and not your external? [03:09] gluonman: your system is too old [03:09] !away lbo_ken [03:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about away lbo_ken [03:09] gluonman, the external is FAT32? [03:09] gluonman: probably a memory problem somewhere [03:09] !away > lbo_ken [03:09] lbo_ken, please see my private message [03:09] badfish, my system isn't too old. [03:09] enzotib, it's NTFS. [03:09] gluonman: it is if you've only got 5 gb left [03:10] badfish, your logic in flawed sorry [03:10] badfish, that says nothing about age. More like usage. [03:10] AlNahar: The one thing we like to check before we do anything is that you only have one version of flash and/or gnash installed. So, what all is listed under about:plugins? [03:10] i didnt send any away message as far as i know i was leaving so i sayed bye to every one that all [03:10] Hi. does anyone know where to find a sound card driver for a IBM ThinkPad X31? [03:10] gluonman: mine's seen plenty of usage, i've never been down to less than 120 gb [03:10] airtonix, I'm not sure, but I suspect that even when I've selected the folder on my external HDD, it's probably still ripping to my HDD, or at least thinking it is. [03:10] http://www.pastebin.ca/1224254 [03:11] and that's when i only had one hdd editing audio for 2 different bands [03:11] Is anyone here using the DUST theme from the Ubuntu Artwork Communtiy ?!?!?!?! [03:11] bobertdos: this all started when i switched to alsa from oss4(which i also switched to pulse audio at the same time) [03:11] badfish, doesn't matter. Just because I have less than 5 Gigs left doesn't mean my system is old. [03:11] gluonman, which program are you using? [03:11] gluonman: it means your system won't play a dvd [03:11] badfish, more flawed logic there [03:11] badfish, no, it means my system won't hold the space a DVD will take up. [03:11] #malang [03:12] airtonix, I'm using DVDFab HD Decryptor, which badfish suggested to me earlier. [03:12] gluonman, i can only suggest you try some other programs. [03:13] hi some one know how to reconfigure a remote control on a hp pavilon dv6xxx [03:13] gluonman, is there a special reason why your using that one apart from the recommendation from badfish? [03:13] Can somebody help me find a sound card driver? [03:13] it works for me [03:13] with 1gb of ram [03:13] and a 2 year old cpu [03:13] airtonix, true. I'll look around. But I did have a problem with movie player. But I'm not sure if it is specifically movie player. I was playing all DVDs fine before. And ripping most fine just by opening the DVD in folder view and copy/pasting to my desired folder. But ther are a few with stubborn CSS blocks. I used to be able to play them but not rip them, but now, after installing a bunch of DVD related things from synaptec, I can't even play [03:13] those ones. [03:14] bobertdos: any ideas? [03:14] got a specific name for a dvd? [03:14] AlNahar: I see, well since you already are using flash 10, (32-bit system, right?) I would suggest switching exclusively to either Pulse or ALSA. Check that everything is appropriately matched in System->Preferences->Sound. [03:14] a title even? [03:14] airtonix, no other reason except that I'm just hoping something will work. So if someone gives me a suggestion, badfish or not, I'll try it. [03:14] badfish, does the specific name of the DVD matter? [03:14] well, im trying to switch to exclusively alsa [03:14] yes [03:14] i dont know what im doing wrong [03:14] gluonman, for a start have a look here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVD::Rip & https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/RippingDVDs [03:14] because if it's a specific dvd the protection will be the same from disc to disc [03:15] so if it works for me, my system is doing something yours isn't [03:15] badfish, well it's No Country For Old Men by the Coen brothers. === AndyWxy is now known as AndyWxy_busy [03:15] i want that movie anyway [03:15] bobertdos: you mean like gnome-sound-properties? [03:15] badfish, again, it has nothing to do with the system, perhaps some codec issues, possibly hardware differences as well. [03:15] AlNahar: So, everything is set to ALSA already? [03:15] yessir [03:15] no error message? [03:15] i am wondering if the problem is some oss thing with firefox? [03:15] how can I grep a file and print out all the e-mail addresses that it finds? text file btw [03:15] im going to try removing alsa oss support and see what happens [03:15] you're not going dual boot by any chance? [03:16] badfish, or No Country For Old Men is just really well encrypted. I've only had two DVDs that are this stubborn. The rest are a piece of cake. [03:16] badfish, I'm not dual booting, but that doesn't really matter. [03:16] if it works in windows but not in linux it matters === SamSamSam is now known as SoulDust [03:16] i don't say things for no reason [03:16] lol [03:16] server irc.undernet.net [03:16] /wave [03:16] I'm rather amused by DVD's marked "CC" -- they generally don't mean Creative Commons... [03:17] badfish, if it works in Windows but not in Linux, I'll just have to figure out how to make it work in LInux. [03:17] good luck [03:17] i've spent 4 years ripping dvds [03:17] AlNahar: Yeah, something probably broke in your config when you started uninstalling packages. I generally change as little with the sound packages as possible. I've had much better experience leaving them alone and just switching between them. [03:17] some are just encrypted by god [03:17] badfish, that's nice. I've also been ripping them for quite some time. I just ran into a problem with this one. [03:18] k [03:18] well good luck [03:18] thanks. [03:19] bobertdos: brb [03:19] how do i fix this http://pastebin.com/d22fb7e63 [03:20] hi some one know how to reconfigure a remote control on a hp pavilon dv6xxx [03:20] it was reported by dpkg-buildpackage -r [03:20] Can I use hdparm to spin down a usb drive? [03:21] Ola les noctunes ! :) [03:21] Is the latest version of ubuntu 64-bit comptable? O.o [03:21] I have an eSATA harddrive that is automatically mounted when I turn my computer on. However, recently for some reason, it's been disconnecting itself after long periods of being connected... say, 12 hours after it's initially connected, it will stop responding. I can try to remount it, but when I do, it says that I must specify the filesystem type (it doesn't do this when it's working correctly, and specifying the fs type correctly doesn' [03:21] can I ask pc hardware related questions here, or is it strictly ubuntu only? [03:21] hi need help setting up ubuntu with my linksys print server [03:22] un francophone dispo ici ? xD [03:22] mynameistux: people here know a lot about hardware too, I'm sure, go ahead and ask [03:22] Is anyone here using the DUST theme from the Ubuntu Artwork Communtiy ?!?!?!?! === qbmaniac is now known as qb_sleep [03:22] you know how people say certain old computers will only recognise a HDD up to a certain size, why is that, or is it all FUD? [03:23] I have a computer from 2002, running ubuntu server, and I want to know if I can put a 1TB hdd into it [03:23] mynameistux: Windows has limitations for sure, but I don't know of any other limitations simply based on hardware. [03:23] mynameistux: It depends on the filesystem used. Older computer will generally have hard drives formatted with older, limited file systems. [03:23] so, its purely a windows related thing, I thought it might have somthing to do with the BIOS [03:24] it will prolly be fat32 [03:24] how to connect ubuntu to a linksys print server? [03:24] mynameistux: I would be surprised if it had limitations, I am pretty sure, IDE is IDE, and SATA is SATA, regardless of size, therefore if a motherboard supports the standard, it should be able to support any size of HDD using that standard. [03:24] k, thx [03:24] mynameistux: wait, don't format it in FAT32 though [03:25] ooookay, why [03:25] mynameistux: the windows nt 5.x installer will refuse to install partitions larger than 20g as fat32, even though fat32 can support larger drives. Maybe that fact has contributed to the rumors you hear [03:25] really old bioses used to have issues with >1G drives IIRC.. but that was over ten years ago... [03:25] hello all, anyone got any sources for debs for the final release of OpenOffice 3.0? [03:25] mynameistux: FAT32 does have limitations, I believe, I don't know what they are right off hand, but I am pretty sure there is some sort of size constraint on that FS [03:26] Fat32 can't handle files >2G ? [03:26] Hmm... the laptop just froze when playing a simple Quicktime trailer [03:26] mynameistux: so that includes windows 2000/xp/vista [03:26] I remeber reading something about that, wikipedia has a table of various filesystems maximum file size, and maximium FS size [03:26] hi some one know how to reconfigure a remote control on a hp pavilon dv6xxx [03:26] mynameistux: but if you are running an ubuntu server which is probably using an ext3 filesystem, why would you want to use FAT32 instead of ext3? [03:26] HAMMERFS ftw!! [03:27] hammerfs doesn't really manage well on drives smaller than a TB [03:27] FAT32 handle files until 4GB - 1byte [03:27] well, I might want to acces somthing dicercly with a windows pc, the chances are slim, but I may want to use windows for gaming one day [03:27] Ahh.. 4G, 2G, whatever .. rather limiting when you want to play with DVD isos [03:27] so, I want to use somthing accesible to windows and lnx [03:27] mynameistux: You might just want to go with NTFS, FAT32 support is slow even on windows [03:28] Linux handles NTFS pretty well these days.. ntfs-3g [03:28] aaah screw it, ext3, if I need to use windows, I will DL the ext3 thing for windows [03:28] I support open standereds, w00t, go me etc [03:28] mynameistux, and windows can access ext2/3 with particular fs driver [03:28] mynameistux: good decision. keep it open [03:28] yeah, thats what I will get if I need to [03:29] mynameistux, alot of the big title games will work on wine [03:29] sb56637: The final release isn't available yet. I just checked last night and they're up to RC4. There is a deb available for that though. [03:29] yeah, but you never no what will come up [03:29] with gfx acceleration? [03:29] yes [03:29] for ati? [03:29] ati/nvidia [03:29] :? [03:29] if a card has support for Red Hat, can I assume the driver can be used by ubuntu ? [03:30] as I said, the chances of my using windows for gaming is slim, I will prolly virtualise, but I want to keep my options open [03:30] :) [03:30] xxploit__: wine is nice, but running windows games in a native windows environment is so much less hassle, even though you do have to do have your fun within the constraints of the proprietary operating system [03:30] and, if I have a LAN party, someone using windows, might want to acces my server [03:30] neeto is right, but I don't want to pay for a windows licence [03:30] mynameistux: you should just try NTFS then [03:31] they can go and get the ext3 thing, its not my problem [03:31] samba simply sees a 'filesystem' -- it doesn't give a fsck if the files are stored on ntfs or ext3 or fat32 .. [03:31] neil_d: That's probably not a perfectly safe assumption. [03:31] mynameistux: I don't (publicly) condone piracy, but who says you have to pay for anything these days? lol [03:31] yeah, I never pay for stuff, but when I am in a forum or on irc, I pretend I pay for stuff [03:31] bobertdos: oh! rats, I was hoping it word work. [03:31] mynameistux: you can serve files simply with apache... [03:31] so if you want to share your files over the LAN it doesn't matter in the slightest what filesystem you use [03:31] mynameistux: good man. demonoid/usenet FTS [03:32] FTW* [03:32] neil_d: Although , the chances for that being true are relatively good for lots of cards. [03:32] when I say, heading over to amazon, I mean heading over to tpb [03:32] mynameistux: do NOT discuss piracy here. [03:32] right, amazon for all my softwares [03:32] and apche seems to be the way to go, possible SAMBA [03:33] Hmm... the laptop just froze when playing a simple Quicktime trailer [03:33] lol, well man, NTFS works beautifully on linux, and it obviously works well in a native windows environment too [03:33] bobertdos: you there? [03:33] as i thought, flash player is trying to use oss [03:33] bobertdos: good to here. been looking for a multi-port sata card, the ones I have found that do say they support linux, all seem to support only red-hat. [03:33] oh wait, nevermind [03:33] Azhi_Dahaka: are you using vlc? [03:33] mynameistux: if you are going the route of APACHE then the filesystem won't matter because it will all be done over HTTP [03:33] nope [03:33] when i disable oss, flash player works fine [03:33] mplayer-plugin for firefox [03:33] please help [03:33] how do you remove a file with a ~ at the end of it [03:34] mynameistux: and samba is a good choice too, since it facilitates the sharing of files between linux and windows computers [03:34] bobertdos: how do i allow alsa-oss to work but not let flash player use it? [03:34] that is apparently what the problem is [03:34] AlNahar: Yeah, I was going to say..........Flash 10 isn't even supposed to be capable of supporting OSS. [03:34] meoblast001: quote the name [03:34] neeto: actually I've seen a few causes where ntfs got 'slightly' corrupted (guy dropped his laptop, etc) and Windows simply could not read it, not even as a slave drive on another machine. Linux handles it just fine apart from a few files that really were damaged. [03:34] neil_d: i did [03:34] bobertdos: it seems when i remove all the oss modules from being loaded and flash works fine [03:34] with SAMBA, can I share files that are still on the harddive to other computers on the network, or upload them to the server? [03:34] Most stuff in hardy-backports should be safe to install right? [03:34] neeto: so I would argue that Linux handles ntfs 'better' than windows does [03:35] meoblast001: what was the result ? [03:35] mynameistux: well since your computer would BE the server, there would be no uploading process, things would just be available from the network. [03:35] zcat[1]: not surprising, linux does quite a few thousand things better than windows does [03:35] AlNahar: I don't think there's a good way to do that.......unless you could somehow create a custom alsconf, but that's not something I have a lot of experience with. [03:35] no, I have an ancient compy running ubuntu server, to do my file serving [03:36] neil_d: nvm.. my desktop isnt updating lol [03:36] Hi, I was recently suggested shred to clear data, but in the man page it says it doesn't support EXT3, is their a program that does? [03:36] bobertdos: i mean, it seems if there are oss modules loaded, flash player has problems [03:36] hello [03:36] AlNahar: right [03:36] So... no idea? [03:36] mynameistux: well either way, putting things on the server would make them availiable to the network if you have the permissions set up that way. [03:36] I have a couple simple questions. [03:36] meoblast001: so it is gone ? [03:36] Is there any way to improve the speed of Ubuntu on a computer with 256ram? [03:36] zcat[1]: Are you the same zcat of #centos fame? Have you defected? Or were you poly all along? :) [03:36] neeto: yes, but it's always amused my that linux handles slightly damaged ntfs better than windows does, openoffice can read slightly damaged DOCs that MSOffice chokes on, etc.. [03:36] LinuxMan92: Yes, get more ram. [03:37] neeto [03:37] chmac: no, different zcat [03:37] i was hoping for a different solution [03:37] LinuxMan92: there are many ways, try searching google for a list [03:37] ;) [03:37] my preference would be being able to open my nerwork places in windows, and the equivilant in ubuntu, and see everything on the server, and things being shared from HDD's on neetwork connected computers [03:37] is that possible [03:37] ? [03:37] LinuxMan92: use xubuntu, and yes, get more ram. I'll probably only cost ya $20 [03:37] i have a semi dead remote login thats running a terminal process that i need to continue. is there a way to send it to run in the background if i can't 'ctrl-z' onto it === aib is now known as regex [03:37] Chris_Foster: the forums recommend wipe [03:37] LinuxMan92: *It'll [03:37] mynameistux: you should go for samba in that case [03:37] so, is it easy to configure [03:37] zcat[1]: Arg, I see, that other zcat has a slightly sharp tongue in my experience :) [03:37] bobertdos: wipe? Okay, thanks [03:38] well the computer isnt mine therefore i dont really want to invest money into it [03:38] LinuxMan92: more RAM is realy really cheap [03:38] chmac: there are a number of zcat's around.. I'm not the only one [03:38] LinuxMan92: you can double it for like 20 bucks, and then keep the RAM when you give it back to its owner [03:39] mynameistux: it's not bad, but it does take work, just like most things on linux... [03:39] LinuxMan92: That is a really common question, it saves time for all of us if you try google first, then your not re-inventing the wheel again [03:39] so, is it configured by editing the .samba file somewhere [03:39] ? [03:39] i have a semi dead remote login thats running a terminal process that i need to continue. is there a way to send it to run in the background if i can't 'ctrl-z' onto it [03:40] So, backports are relatively safe to install right? I'm not about to bork my seyste? :) [03:40] mynameistux: it's configured through a config file somewhere. I don't mean to be blunt, but you should stop asking about it and go play with it. It's free and you have nothing to lose. [03:40] system [03:40] Chris_Foster: I understand that however I was wondering if in the settings there was a way to disable certain effects that would speed it up [03:40] bah, easiest way to 'configure' samba is right-click on folders and share them just like in 'doze .. why make things harder than they need be?!! [03:40] you have a point [03:40] *ssh's into server, and breaks somthing* [03:41] *reinstalls and gets it right this time* [03:41] w00t [03:41] zcat[1]: dont you still need to setup samba users for samba to work? [03:41] hi [03:41] danbh_intrepid: yeah, the first time you share a folder it goes and installs samba for you. [03:42] what is new in intrepid ivex? [03:42] lordars: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions [03:43] danbh_intrepid: I used to know how to set up samba via the /etc/samba/smb.conf file but ubuntu just makes it so easy. I'm lazy. I do things the easy way. [03:43] quit [03:43] bye all [03:44] nice [03:45] can someone suggest an motioring software to install that is easy to setup and will monitor networks in other locations and will install on ubuntu 6.06 or 6.10 thanks [03:46] tnnc: nagios is the gold standard but not sure it's 'easy to set up' [03:46] I try to run a shell script in my home dir how can i get it to work?

[04:12] how can i do that? [04:13] You need some sort of VNC server === lovestofail is now known as dhgwill [04:14] taht runs on both ubuntu and my windows machine?

[04:14] for using my remote ubuntu session's gnome on my windows machine [04:14] MyName: Theres also X forwarding and also freenx [04:14] danbh_intrepid, thanks a whole ton everything is back to normal. i can't believe i didn't think of chroot... it's actually a utility i've very rarely used [04:14] i log into it using putty, then launch gnome from there, is that possibly [04:15] Which where slower, AFAIR [04:15] but can it hanlde something as big as gnome ? [04:15] <_Zeus_> MyName: i don't hitnk so... but you can launch single applications [04:15] the X window it mean [04:15] ic [04:15] MyName: you'd need an X server running on your Windows machine if you want to do it that way. [04:15] wierd [04:15] yes [04:15] i know about x server [04:15] MyName: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:15] ok [04:16] dhgwill: the directions are actually classic for fixing a broken alpha testing system. If one upgrade breaks it, you use that strat to update till a fix comes through [04:16] MyName: If you launch X from insode an ssh login it doesn't run graphically over the ssh connection usually but rather locally in the box you are ssh'd into [04:16] genii, by X you mean the X window server? [04:16] MyName: Yes [04:17] MyName, i thoguht i launch X on my windows machine, then launch apps from inside my putty's connection [04:17] then it'll display it graphically [04:17] hmmm... so, nobody knows why is the network so picky? [04:17] danbh_intrepid, i'm only asking because you seem like you might know: is there an IRC channel for awesomeWM or tiling WMs in general? [04:17] network card? [04:17] MyName: That is X forwarding [04:17] genii, well isnt that what i need? [04:17] whats is the equivalent of /etc/kde4/xserv/xserver.conf in XFCE?? [04:17] dhgwill: heh, I only know a few random things, and thats not one of them : ) sorry [04:18] MyName: No, you asked "can I start ubuntu gnome from inside my ssh session" [04:18] <_Zeus_> MyName: X forwarding is usually used to launch single apps [04:18] hello ,all [04:18] Anyone know how to setup a FTP server/. [04:18] <_Zeus_> you asked to start a whole desktop, MyName [04:18] !ftp [04:18] FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [04:18] MyName: In the other case the X server is local and the X applications are forwarded over the ssh into it [04:18] ok i see. so i can use x forwarding to launch single apps, but to luanch gnome then it won't work?

[04:20] Not for running X [04:21] Cygwin can do that fine [04:21] ok [04:21] Mrfo: Well, technically it can be done but terribly inefficient [04:21] but cygwin is not the same as X window right? [04:21] if i want to link to an application in ubuntu's repositories how do i do that? [04:21] X window only supports running linux GUI stuff over windwos [04:21] what are you trying to do exactly? [04:22] MyName_: You want something like XMing on the windows side [04:22] i use the cygwin x windows server all the time. it runs just as well as Xming === lakitu2 is now known as lakitu [04:22] ok i want to ssh to my linux box using putty in windows, then once i logged in, then i want to launch gnome and use linux graphically just like as if i'm sitting in front of my linux box. not just launch single apps (which i already know how to do suing Star Windows) [04:22] not star-windwos, starnet X windows [04:23] MyName, you want XMing + XMDCP [04:23] i want to launch an application to install a program from a web page, how do i do this? [04:23] this one http://www.starnet.com/products/xwin32/ [04:23] what is XMING [04:23] ? [04:23] xming is a lightweight X server that will connect to remote clients via X11 forwarded SSH sessions or XMDCP [04:24] (for windows) [04:24] what XMDCP [04:24] let me rephrase- i have an application in the ubuntu repository- for instance xchat-gnome and i want to link to it so a user can easily install it by clicking a link, anybody know how to do that?

[04:40] ok, that's what i iwant, i will just say yes, to be sure to each one [04:40] <_Zeus_> jsq: fine, that should work hen [04:40] or whatever. here goes [04:40] 1 means strat it [04:41] hey folks, is there a repository for flock yet? [04:41] jsq: If you have them all on single lines with 4 tabs between and the word "remove" at the end you can just do: sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade where my-packages is the file name [04:41] Is anyone good with viewing windows partitions in ubuntu? I really need some help. [04:41] zhou: what does 1 means? [04:41] <_Zeus_> genii: that's a possibility, but I don't think you need 4 tabs [04:41] <_Zeus_> i think just a ' ' is enough [04:41] <_Zeus_> wiseman: shoot [04:41] 1 means strat it [04:41] well check this out [04:42] zhou: 1 means strat it [04:42] _Zeus_: The --get-selections uses 4 so to be safe thats what I also recommended [04:42] <_Zeus_> genii: oh, k [04:42] hello... I have removed my hosts.deny from Adept but the hosts.deny file is still in my etc folder:( how can I remove it? [04:42] <_Zeus_> vilhelm: rm filename? [04:42] I put the windows partition in fstab, and it used to work but I haven't tried to get it in a month or so [04:42] hellhound_: in terminal type gconf-editor and browse to /apps/metacity/global_keybindings and disable it [04:42] zhou: got it, actually i was viewig movie in totem and its just switching off the monitor in every ten min [04:42] so I tried the other day [04:42] video films [04:42] _Zeus_: but shouldn't it be removed already when i removed it from adept ? [04:42] so I do sudo mount -a and I get this error: [04:43] <_Zeus_> vilhelm: you should have used remove --purge [04:43] zhou: yes [04:43] btw, the only reason i'm doing this, is because after installing kubuntu-desktop i was freezing, and mostly thte mouse would just stop responding. somehow it had switched to ALPS driver instead of synaptics... or something. so hopefully removing all the kde stuff will fix it..

[04:44] I wasn't aware that it was unclean in any way [04:44] <_Zeus_> wiseman: the last time you used windows, did you shut it down? or did you pull the plug [04:44] did someone drop a dookie on my windows logfile? [04:44] legend2440, opps i copied too much [04:44] I think I shut it down...it [04:45] it's been a while since I went into windows [04:45] <_Zeus_> wiseman: well, reboot into windows, then reboot back to ubuntu [04:45] <_Zeus_> that will fix it [04:45] command "sudo" means what? [04:45] Will do [04:45] brb [04:45] <_Zeus_> wiseman: you could force it, but that's dangerous [04:45] sudo gives root privelages [04:45] wiseman: also running chdsk in windows on the drive can't hurt [04:45] gimme 5 minutes, thanks _Zeus_ [04:45] thank you [04:45] brb [04:45] <_Zeus_> sure [04:45] zhou: is there any settings in totem for that?

[06:42] hi [06:43] acp it depends on those guys who are also on this accesspoint. :P [06:43] I'm not sure if I really fixed my problem. I used the Envy script to manually install what I assumed were the latest nvidia drivers, but now my mousepad doesn't work...any suggestions?

[06:48] lex_, my bad, sorry [06:48] hi [06:48] hi [06:49] hi guys, I have an nvidia 9600 card and I have it running on the restricted drivers so I can use compiz. problem is every other time I restart the machine the drivers become corrupted or something because I get what looks like static or noise running all over the screen and I can only get as far as the GUI login screen. I then have to restart in repair mode to repair the xservice (x server?) and then re-enable nvidia's xserver s [06:49] ettings (via the nvidia xconfig command). Is this common? Is there a fix or idea to why this occurs? This never happens in windows. [06:49] SeaPhor: When I first installed Ubuntu, a tip popped up saying restricted drivers were available for my Nvidia card, so I downloaded and enabled them. Upon rebooting, I came to a black screen only [06:49] i noticed today that my ntfs partitions have a uuid of 16 letters, while the ext3 one has ~32. plus i cant find the uuid of the swap partition. is all this normal? any file is at your disposal [06:50] i whant run java hk firefox [06:50] Hi [06:50] how [06:50] dude: how did you install the drivers? apt or from nvidia package?

[06:58] jim_p, anything else you recommend me to try? I seems I already have that installed. [06:59] lex_, have you installed glx or nvidia-settings? [06:59] i'm trying to bulid something from source and i'm getting the error from ./configure that "C compiler cannot create executables"... i've installed gcc and build-essential what else would i need to do ? [06:59] macvr why you should get some when you use picasa? [07:00] SeaPhor: Not sure, I let Envy do it, it seems to work, i got my widescreen resolution up, but there are glitches when I scroll, text and images become distorted [07:00] wheres the default place that ubuntu stores the dpkg files, or is there a way to find out what files belong to a certain package using its apt name? [07:00] dude: does xorg.conf say "nvidia" at the relevant line [07:00] that's great and all! ... but I can't come running to you everytime I need to install something ... are you saying there is some alternative methods I need to learn about for installing add-ons etc. to Ubuntu?

[07:01] dude: cat /etc/X11/xorg.cof | grep Driver [07:01] except googles spaybot :P [07:01] -a [07:02] Under networks connection it simply says: Enable - Wireless Network Device. Though I have been unsuccesful connecting to the net throug it [07:02] Hello [07:02] dtech: ubuntu tries to do some stuff automatically, but in the end you are always installing from the repositories using APT or some frontend like add/remove or synaptic. The reason you didn't get the yellow bar in firefox originally is because the site you were on tries to be too smart (I'm guessing youtube) and doesn't try to load flash if it detects you don't have it [07:02]  abchirk: i know pisaca isnt... but i'm at risk that the viruses can attach to picasa cause of wine? is this what u mean?

[07:13] jim_p, this is what somebody in #nvidia told me: The gist of it is that if you want to use the .run installer, you have to make sure to remove the Ubuntu drivers with the --purge option or they'll leave behind scripts that sabotage the driver when you reboot.

Or is there a theme to make text bigger all around? [07:15] enyawix: give me a sec and i will find it for you [07:15] you can create an Xsession for her user [07:15] TRIGG3R: I think the live cd comes with gparted installed.

[07:21] i have to keep pushing the file into the queue until it is done. [07:21] dude: between lines 31 and 32 make a new line and insert this [07:21] jim_p, lol [07:21] dude: Driver "nvidia" and line it up with the rest [07:22] Doc|Serverising: "ls -lF /dev/disk/by-something/" [07:22] Can anybody help me install the latest nvidia drivers from scratch?

[07:25] i want to make a live usb not backup an installation ;p [07:25] Doc|Serverising: and it should appear something more? Try "sudo fdisk -l" [07:25] ah found it. nm [07:25] jim_p, got it. anything else to add?

[07:26] carandraug: It should, and it says "Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table", how do I make a partition on it so I can use it? I don't want to install an OS on it though [07:26] I want to run "xmodmap /etc/X11/.Xmodmap" everytime I login... what is the best way to do this? Through the "Sessions Preferences" ?

The folders/files for each song are still there, but when I look under the appropriate Artist field within Amarok, it only lists some of the songs! === nostferka^ is now known as nostferka [07:27] _kevin_: it will totally depend on what your wireless hardware is. Check the manufacturer and search to see if it's supported by linux drivers [07:28] Voox: these are some of the reasons i find linux cool.... u can do almost anything!!! ;-) [07:28] macvr, oh well thanks anyway :) [07:28] enyawix: there is also this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD but i things it way too trimmed off [07:28] _kevin_: hey trying to get your wireless solved? [07:28] Doc|Serverising: run "sudo cfdisk /dev/dsb", get rid of everything there and then create the partitions you want (type 83 for ext3 partitions) [07:28] <_kevin_> rukcus, its not supported by linux drivers -- i had a very hard time getting it working when I installed ubuntu [07:28] <_kevin_> Paddy_EIRE, yes [07:28] carandraug: Doing so [07:28] macvr, i love linux as well, i am just trying out a few to check if i have video tearing on different distros [07:28] ...ugh. Nevermind. Simply restarting my computer apparently fixed this "issue." Amazing how Linux will work one second but not the next.. and then, two minutes later, all is well again. [07:29] _kevin_: what is your hardware.. if you are unsure do "lspci" and "lsusb" in a terminal and pastebin the output [07:29] _kevin_: if you have a windows driver for the device, you can use ndiswrapper to cloak the windows .sys to work on linux [07:29] Doc|Serverising: you then need to create the filesystems on those partitions. You'll need to umount them and then use a command that I'll give you in one minute. You want ext3 partitions? [07:29] If I go to "Preferences > Sessions" I see a tab called "Startup Programs". Can I simply put "xmodmap /etc/X11/.Xmodmap" in the command field? [07:29] carandraug: I'm alright from here on [07:30] jyoseph: that should be fine [07:30] jim_p... didn't work [07:30] <_kevin_> Paddy_EIRE, Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 02) [07:30] Paddy_EIRE: awesome, thanks... only reason I wasn't sure is I didn't want the machine to have a problem booting if that was wrong [07:30] Doc|Serverising: ok. It's somewhere on the line of mkfs.ext3 [07:30] 1 sec _kevin_ thats a familiar chipset [07:30] <_kevin_> rukcus, I heard about that whole "ndiswrapper" -- is it easy to do? [07:30] jim_p, it did the same thing :( so I did a full reboot and now I'm in some kinda safe or low-graphics mode. [07:30] carandraug: I'm not trying install another OS [07:30] <_kevin_> Paddy_EIRE, sure sure [07:31] TRIGG3R: can you pastebin "sudo fdisk -l"? [07:31] jim_p thanks [07:31] I want it to work as storage [07:31] jyoseph: that method you mention only starts the app/command after login [07:31] Paddy_EIRE: in this case it's for my keyboard [07:31] so that should be okay [07:31] yep [07:31] Doc|Serverising: yes. But creating a partition won't be enough. You need to create a filesystem in there, even if it's not for an OS [07:31] sweet, thanks for the reassurance Paddy_EIRE [07:32] carandraug: Kay... [07:32] dude: then i rest my case. have a look at mine http://7g.pri.ee/mine.conf . excluding the ati options under fglrx, all the rest is the perfect thing for the job [07:32] carandraug: Well, does my first partition need to be extended? [07:32] _kevin_: which model of laptop is that? [07:32] Well, an extended partition [07:32] <_kevin_> Paddy_EIRE, HP Compaq Presario V6000 [07:32] jyoseph: anytime [07:32] I need optimal numbers for a 320GB disk too [07:32] ah ha [07:33] any mp3 application in ubuntu accepts HOT KEYS... like Cntrl+Home will play or pause the song.. as in Winamp... [07:33] Ububegin: Amarok [07:33] macvr: Only way is to delete them manually [07:33] Doc|Serverising: I think you only need an extended partition if you plan to have more than 4. Otherwise, you can go fine with just primary [07:33] is Ubuntu pure 64bit running 32bit in chroot or multi lib running 64bit and 32bit in the same area? [07:33] carandraug: Right o... so do I only need to use ext3? [07:33] Doc|Serverising: danke... [07:34] Ububegin: Audacious looks a lot like Winamp (even accepts winamp 2.x skins). I believe it allows to do that [07:34] _kevin_: its much easier than finding the linux ported drivers for some chipsets, like Realtek ones -_-; there are guides all across the net for ndiswrapper on ubuntu for wifi. the guides worked for this clunky laptop [07:34] macvr: you can always write a simple script and put it in /usr/bin to delete all files which have a edited version. [07:34]  DumbIntel: k... thanx [07:34] And do I need one partition? [07:34] *only [07:34] carandraug: k, will try that too [07:35] <_kevin_> rukcus, okay -- I'll see if I can't dig something up. Thanks for your help. [07:35] hehe [07:35] Doc|Serverising: yes. If you only want to have one partition, you can make just one. And do it as ext3. I have an external HDD of 500Gigas for storage that it's only one ext3 partition [07:36] _kevin_: try this method here only replacing the driver he wgets with the one for your wireless http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2008/04/ndiswrapper-in-hardy-heron.html [07:36] carandraug: Thanks, I need mine for storage. [07:36] macvr: and create a shortcut for it on desktop... it would look in your pictures folders and subfolders. Not hard to write, and great learning experience. ;) [07:36] When converting the lossy mp3 format to the also-lossy .ogg format, should I be concerned about an even greater loss of quality (copy of a copy)? [07:36] Reformer81: yes [07:36] !usbmouse [07:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about usbmouse [07:36]  DumbIntel: will try that ... [07:37] !usb [07:37] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [07:37] Reformer81: its called transcoding. If you look it up in wikipedia, there is more info [07:37] danbh_intrepid: What would you suggest I convert my current collection (and actualy CD's) to? [07:37] Reformer81: Yes, transcoding will result in a loss of quality (not from copy of copy, since this is digital, but because mp3 throws out some info, and ogg throws out some info, and the union of those two infos is your resulting quality) [07:38] Reformer81: For archiving, rip to FLAC. Then transcode to your lossy format of the week for use on smaller devices. [07:38] <_kevin_> Paddy_EIRE, okay thanks, I'll give that a go [07:38] carandraug: Is this okay? /dev/sdb1 1 38913 312568641 83 Linux ? [07:38] Doc|Serverising: ok. SO once you create your type 83 partition with cfdisk, you'll have a partition that will probably sdb1 (confirm with sudo fdisk -l). The run "sudo mkfs.ext3 -j /dev/sdb1" and switch sdb1 for whatever's correct [07:38] _kevin_: read this before hand http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=828709 [07:38] Flannel: Same question to you, then. I'm not necessarily an audiophile, but I can't stand hearing clicks and pops when listening to my digital collection. [07:39] _kevin_: keep chatting your way through the process with us and you will be sure to find a method that works everytime for you :) [07:39] Reformer81: if they are already mp3, just leave them that way [07:39] Reformer81: Rip to FLAC, thats lossless, so you can then encode to format X today for your player, and format Y tomorrow (from the original FLAC) for tomorrows [xyz] player that plays a different format. [07:39] hey Flannel [07:39] Howdy Paddy_EIRE [07:39] busy? [07:39] Doc|Serverising: looks correct to me. Make the filesystem now. cfdosk, only makes the partitions (there's GUI's to make this kind of stuff such as gparted) [07:39] Flannel: Thank you! That exactly what I was trying to decide. :) [07:40] * delcoyote hi [07:40] Flannel: And I assume that FLAC is open [07:40] ? [07:40] carandraug: I don't have the luxury of a GUI. :P [07:40] Reformer81: yes it is [07:40] Reformer81: While FLAC is a bit bigger (obviously) hard drive space is generally so cheap that it's not an issue. Free Lossless Audio Codec. Yep. [07:40] Reformer81: if you're talking about storage, i recommend a RAID array if you plan on searching thorugh the collection often [07:41] rukcus: I don't really SEARCH so much as just find the desired artist within Amarok :) [07:43] Doc|Serverising: you're ok from now on? [07:44] carandraug: Are you sure it's an ext3? [07:44] noiuhiuhp [07:44] iugiug [07:44] rt [07:44] jhtyj [07:44] tyjtkj [07:44] ubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:45] Doc|Serverising: that's the command to create an ext3. You can use mkfs. something else to make it something else [07:45] I've done that [07:45] Hmmm [07:45] I'm trying to mount it in fstab [07:46] Ahh [07:46] Never mind, I missed the 1 [07:46] Doc|Serverising: you need help with editing fstab? [07:46] :) Yay, drive is set up [07:46] I missed the 1 on sdb1, was my bad [07:47] the 2.6.27 kernel (final version) just saw the daylight! Yeee [07:48] Doc|Serverising: it's better if you use UUID in the fstab [07:48] carandraug: I'm not likely to add another drive in its place. [07:48] and openoffice 3.00 final version too [07:49] #bali [07:50] Doc|Serverising: not because of that. I've read that there's development on the kernel and udev that may change the order they are loaded. sda may become sdb and stuff like that. UUID won't change unless you format it again [07:51] carandraug: It shall have to do for now [07:53] How do I make a share in Samba? [07:53] Doc|Serverising: it's easy to swith. You swith the path in fstab by "UUID=whatever" where whatever is what appears in "ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid" [07:53] how can i use echo to append lines to the end of a file? like so "echo This-is-a-line-of-text >> myfile.txt" [07:53] hey does anyone know where i can get some info on how to extend my laptops desktop onto another monitor?

[08:14] centr0: Ubuntu ships with pulseaudio by default. Try launching WoW while prefixing the wine launch with "padsp" [08:15] i'm sure there is all type a fine tuning i could do but still too new to tweek this os [08:15] BiosElement, DLing new patch atm. my sound all around is gone. cant play mp3s all i hear is system bells. [08:15] is there anyway to reset it? [08:16] centr0: Yes. Because WoW took control of the sound device. Without pulseaudio, Sounds cannot be mixed so only one program can play sound at a time. Launching it with padsp will make it use Pulseaudio and let the sound mix correctly. [08:16] BiosElement, awesome thanks for the tip [08:17] would that '-padsp' work with everything i come in contact with that has sound? ie. ventrilo -padsp? [08:18] centr0: The command is padsp wine programname. And Lemme dig up the PulseAudio thread for you that'll help [08:18] anyone have info on extending the workspace of a laptop to another monitor? any help would be greattt [08:19] is there a way to force the unmount of a volume? its stuck mounted [08:19] maybe it just me [08:19] turn off the computer and remove it [08:20] centr0: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 [08:20] tyso1: pass [08:20] ¿? [08:21] BiosElement, thanks will read up! [08:21] I am running ubuntu 8.04 with Gnome. Anyone know why sometimes resized video is upscaled all funky? (Eg. Say the source video was sized up 5x, and originally 5 adjacent pixels were all white (255), all black (0), and all white (255). Instead of rescaling so that the gradient now goes (255, 204, 153, 102, 51, 0, 51, 102, 153, 204 255) it goes (0 51, 102, 153, 204, 255, 204, 153, 102, 51, 0) exactly reversed. It looks horrible, but I have not been able to fi [08:21] conman:stand on your head count to three and spin five time and retry? it worked for me [08:21] con-man: First make sure no file browsers are looking at the mount location. Also that in Terminal or other consoles the prompt is not sitting in there either. Then use the -f option in the sudo umount command.

[08:51] nope, for *.avi files.. downloaded from internet [08:51] dinocatz: try VLC [08:51] display quality is controlled by the original file, the codecs, and any scaling [08:52] I have an embedded terminal on my desktop. It's gnome-terminal with it's transparency and border settings controlled by compiz settings. I have it set to appear in the centre of my screen, but whenever I boot my computer, it appears at the upper left blocking any /media or /dev icons that are present. Of course, if I close the terminal and re-open it, it reappears in the correct location. How do I re-order the sessions so that terminal o [08:52] pens after compiz settings have been fully recognized so that I don't have to keep closing the terminal and re-opening it?

[08:53] trylobytero: That is a pretty serious bug! what CPU is it? [08:53] dinocatz: I agree with IntuitiveNipple, the quality has a lot to do with the video file itself, not necessarily the program playing it [08:53] hey, i have lost the shutdown button from the system-->quit menu and i cant get it back, does any of you know how? [08:53] hmm... ok... [08:54] IntuitiveNipple: intel t2370 [08:54] balle_: gnome? right click in panel and add the shutdown button again [08:54] when i played with windows, the display so good...

[09:04] IntuitiveNipple: Beep Iridium A15 T2370 [09:04] msconfig would stop alot from booting when u do try [09:04] balle_ thx but already did and everything is max [09:05] usa1: sry? [09:05] but even if everything is 100% it sounds poorly.... like when the volume is half way it's silence already [09:05] oh heck, ya all lost me now, i been up almost all night [09:06] i cant sleep [09:06] :P [09:06] ^_^ [09:06] IntuitiveNipple: the only options I can choose at the bios setup utility is "execute disable bit", that is enabled, and lcd panel power saving, enabled too, besides of the boot device priority [09:06] good reason though, i am at work right now [09:06] c4r1o: what about the PCM setting? is that up?, double click on the sound icon [09:07] Re-prioritizing sessions anyone? [09:07] trylobytero: OK. I see it now. Like you said, I think you should try adding the "acpi=off" option on the kernel command line at boot-time, and if you can, post a bug report as per the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI [09:07] balle_: are you running GNOME or KDE? [09:07] gluonman: renice [09:07] yeh it's up right now....i've also maxed Front and master [09:07] genii, what is that? [09:07] IntuitiveNipple: I bought this notebook with no license, it had installed freeDOS, but it's suspicious that it had a "windows vista" logo close to the keyboard [09:08] maalsa: sry bout that gnome [09:08] genii: No, he wants to cause one app to load after a delay when the gnome session starts [09:08] gluonman: It assigns less or more resources to a process or app depending on what values you feed it [09:08] trylobytero format and go from there. [09:08] trylobytero: It seems a bit 'strange', I agree. [09:08] IntuitiveNipple: Ah, OK [09:08] can i format a harddrive to NTFS in linux? [09:08] IntuitiveNipple, is there anything i should be looking out for in dmesg? when i grep sda on output i get '[ 25.793506] sda: sda1 sda2 < sda5 >' [09:09] ok now it's a little different [09:09] genii, alright, but I'm not keen on syntax. I'm trying to make a program in my sessions wait before it opens. Because it tends to open before compiz settings are fully kicked in, but the desired state of the program relies on those compiz settings. So how can I use renice to make it wait? [09:09] the MAX volume is ok......but it just takes 3 or 4 times that i press the (down)volume botton and it silences [09:09] or rather more specifically: what is a file system that both Linux and Windows r/w to? [09:09] centr0: If the partition with the NTFS file-system is on sda, then and partitioner *should* see it. Try using "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" [09:09] Hey,how do i install ThunderBird Via Terminal? [09:10] gluonman: No, you use renice on already-running things [09:10] IntuitiveNipple, its a completely different physical drive so could it be /dev/sdb? [09:10] gluonman: Have you got it entered in the 'Sessions' tab in Preferences? [09:10] genii, then that's not what I'm after. [09:10] so the whole volume bar is instead the second half of it couse when the cursor is half way volume is 0 [09:10] centr0: Do "sudo fdisk -l" and that will list all drives/partitions that can be found [09:10] IntuitiveNipple, it is in Sessions. It and compiz are just being initialized in an order I wish to reverse. [09:11] gluonman: Try adding a delay to the execution command [09:11] IntuitiveNipple, can you tell me how to do that? [09:11] IntuitiveNipple, just those 3. sda1, sda2, sda5 = swap [09:11] fdisk is my favorite command!! [09:11] gluonman: "sleep 20s && gnome-terminal" [09:11] so, should I go and ask at the store where I bought it? [09:11] IntuitiveNipple, I'll try that. Thank you. [09:11] gluonman: Try it from the command-line first to be sure it is what you want [09:12] IntuitiveNipple, alright. [09:12] centr0: Then it looks like the drive isn't connected correctly, or is configured incorrectly [09:12] !flash [09:12] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [09:13] o install netgear wg311v3 drivers? [09:13] tried cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver | awk '{print $2}' .. but the /etc/resolv.conf got this comments that has the word nameserver in it too [09:13] how do i install ThunderBird Via Terminal? [09:13] gluonman: To control the order you could put both start-up commands in a script, and then call the script when the session starts, too. That way they are guaranteed to follow the order of launch in the script [09:13] where else can I extract info to get the current DNS server for the PC ?? [09:13] to use it in script [09:13] gogle [09:13] IntuitiveNipple: now it hangs sooner, at "..TIMER: vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=0 pin2=0", with apic=off [09:13] goole [09:14] drue_: sudo apt-get install thunderbird [09:14] oh hell...nm [09:14] IntuitiveNipple, alright. Thank you. [09:14] Thanks [09:14] trylobytero: Some machines won't start without ACPI, unfortunately... Try with "-noacpi" [09:14] what is the strongest encryption for gpg: DSA & Elgamal, DSA, or RSA? [09:14] r2s1: Just pipe result you have through a sed command to exclude lines with # in them [09:15] trylobytero: lol hang on... did you use "apic=off" or "acpi=off" - be VERY careful; it should be ACPI [09:15] powertool08 what ya trying to hide. ?? lol [09:15] usa1: just files I don't want other users into, something that can't be bruteforced easily [09:16] my eth0 won't come up automatically after restart, so i have to turn it up manually like this; sudo ifup eth0... how could i fix this ? [09:16] ok [09:16] IntuitiveNipple: sorry, i used acpi, got wrong typing it here [09:16] r2s1: sed '/#/d' for instance [09:16] trylobytero: OK, worth checking :) [09:17] powertool08 and just passwording doesnt keep ya friends out, wow [09:17] trylobytero: Try some of the other kernel command-line options on the wiki page, see if any give a better result [09:17] what kinda friends u got anyway>? [09:17] usa1: curious ones [09:17] i hear ya [09:18] genii: thanks [09:18] powertool08: Unless you're worried about the NSA trying to crack the encrpytion, I don't think you need to worry which algorithm is used. The main variable is the quality of the passphrase [09:18] lol ya what IntuitiveNipple said!! [09:19] IntuitiveNipple: ok, thanks. [09:19] but then again. IntuitiveNipple it could very well be the NSA....lol [09:19] IntuitiveNipple: with -noacpi it hangs where it did the first time, acpi exceptions [09:19] .. Did someone say NSA? [09:19] lol [09:19] * IntuitiveNipple has encrypted disks, with no passwords, only accessible with a USB key inserted during boot [09:19] Who ratted me out? [09:20] IntuitiveNipple: is there anything strong enough to keep the government at bay? I assumed they could crack anything in a matter of days [09:20] trylobytero: I'm afraid it sounds like you've got a 'bad' one [09:20] powertool08, I'll be at your house soon, to inspect your storage media... [09:20] powertool08: sure; multiple layers of different encryptions [09:20] well if they can access the terminal, if not i don't think [09:20] powertool08 Just use the encryption scheme that the NSA uses and you'll know that you're safe. [09:20] When i install 8.04 aternate from disk ,it always tell me to mount CD/ROM ,Why? [09:20] talntid: haha, I don't have much to hide, just curious since I've always heard if the government wants to know, they will [09:20] i agree with DaCapn [09:20] They surely wouldn't use something that they could break would they? [09:21] meh. the govt has good intel people. [09:21] but not everything is crackable in a matter of days [09:21] DaCapn: who knows... [09:21] dacapn i think the opposite...they should be able to break it in order to recover it.... [09:21] ：（ [09:22] heya powertool08, if ya got anything the gov. wants. please dont come by the house anymore... k? [09:22] I think you've got far bigger problems than worrying about 'the government' cracking your files, if you're that concerned! [09:22] lol [09:22] powertool08, however, all they need to do is put the HDD in a cleanroom, and do the data recovery that way... ;) [09:22] loool [09:22] Either that or an excessive dose of paranoia :) [09:22] usa1: sure thing, but I doubt they have any interest in me === lakitu2 is now known as lakitu [09:23] who knows powertool......who knows^^ [09:23] cumknot? [09:23] who names themself that? [09:23] lol [09:23] my name noom [09:23] IntuitiveNipple: I'm not worried at all, like I said, I just need basic encryption but the NSA was brought up and I was curious [09:23] i'm thai [09:23] talntid provided that the encryption implementation is secure (no watermarking or side-channel, etc) then there's not really anything they can do about it. [09:24] We didn't have any interest in you... till now... [09:24] powertool08: I know; but it's fun to poke at the subject [09:24] what [09:24] jim_p, you can add this to your source.list:deb http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/ hardy free non-free,you can have a try [09:24] hey [09:24] lol @ TheGovernment [09:24] piye [09:24] DaCapn, It should be possible to read the data manually.. it'd take a long time to recreate it, but possible [09:24] halo [09:25] maybe too slow for you,and you can search "ubuntu hardy w32codecs" for that! [09:25] * genii traces 158.37.156.221 to TheGovernment's secret lair [09:25] use google for that! jim_p [09:25] utnubudnai: i did. it says Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another packag [09:25] talntid You would read nothing but seemingly random data. That doesn't circumvent the encryption. [09:25] so, I just found out the great wonders of VLC streaming...... [09:26] Can anyone suggest a cheap scanner that works with ubuntu [09:26] ushills: HP [09:26] powertool08 do it like we did when i was a bit younger, when they knock on the door, flush it down the can, oh...heck. cant do that i guess [09:26] lol [09:26] nm [09:26] Ok [09:26] i'm VPN tunneled into my home computer, from work... [09:26] jim_p, can you paste the error messages generated? [09:26] utnubudnai: the ubuntu guys decided to provide codecs and dvd support sor $$ !!! let me find the link [09:26] and streaming the DVD that is in my home computer DVD rom... [09:26] ushills: any scanner that runs the niash chipset are cheap and compatible. [09:26] about 60 miles away. pretty neat [09:26] ushills: scanjets seem to be mostly supported. [09:27] do most hp work with ubuntu, i thought Hp were expensive. i tried an artec but no luck [09:27] jim_p, ^^,there must be some free for you! [09:27] utnubudnai: http://ostatic.com/173388-blog/canonical-opens-codec-sales-and-potential-can-of-worms#rss [09:27] usa1: hmm, perhaps I could rig one of those crazy self-destruct, burn the house down emergency government is after me things like in the movie Conspiracy Theory :P [09:27] for sure [09:27] that would work great [09:28] powertool08, i'll give you a tip about that [09:28] talntid: oh? [09:28] Hi all, in which directory should new programs be placed (im basically looking for c:\programs under linux)? [09:28] ushills: THe scanjet 3300c (if they still make those) are cheap and they work. [09:28] ... remember when in school, they tell you to practice your emergency plan? [09:28] DON'T! your house will burn down. [09:28] talntid: haha, good tip [09:28] and the insurance companies don't really buy the conspiracy story... [09:28] talntid: Why, after all the years of school do doctors still call what they do "practice"? [09:28] utnubudnai: http://pastebin.com/d6de86a90 [09:29] BlueEagle, about a year ago, my lung collapsed. [09:29] talntid: well thats the landlord's problem [09:29] at that time, i remember them bringing in a bunch of trainees to see how to fix a collapsed lung [09:29] talntid: Should I find a need to burn the house down I either won't get far, or I'll disappear for quite some time [09:29] IntuitiveNipple: lol, the first thing I did when I taken the notebook out of the box it was to remove the "windows vista" tag, so the warranty is broken xDDDD [09:29] Atax: Are you refering to programs you're compiling from source? If you install from the repositories you need not bother, they'll end up where they should [09:30] supposedly i got very violent, verbally, when they were showing a trainee how to properly hold the drill, to drill into my chest and relieve the pressure. [09:30] trylobytero: Hmmm, stick it back! :) [09:30] thanks i will look for prices [09:30] utnubudnai: any ideas? [09:30] which removed a large amount of trust i had in any doctors, actively practicing. [09:31] hateball: In this case I wonder where to put "Sonbird" as well as UrbanTerror, I cant launch them after I placed them in /usr/bin/* [09:31] IntuitiveNipple: i sticked it on my brothers t-shirt, joking, and he sticket it on the mirror of the elevator, now it's dissappeared [09:31] Atax: Have you downloaded .deb files? Or a tar.gz with source? or precompiled binaries? [09:31] vanished [09:32] talntid and...aint it the same with attorneys. they call what they do a "pratice"? [09:32] lolololol [09:32] trylobytero: :p [09:32] mmmhmmmm [09:32] so far I'm liking linux more and more [09:32] hateball: they where both tar's or perhaps zip-files [09:32] hi [09:32] thought it was going to be more of a pain [09:32] do i need a cups server running when i just print to a network printer? [09:32] hateball: I don t complie! :) [09:33] hi [09:33] hateball: compile! [09:33] Atax: probably, you've got to give the binaries executable permissions (chmod a+x ) [09:33] is there any one? [09:33] no [09:33] yes [09:33] Atax: If they were precompiled, you could just as well put them in your ~/ and chmod +x on them [09:33] Atax: Unless you need to have other users access it as well [09:34] Atax: usually, user-installed programs are put in /usr/local/bin (/usr/local/lib) or /opt/ depending in whether there is a complete package of files or not [09:34] But is the ~(home-dir) the propery directory to place file? There must be a equivalent to c:\programs [09:34] Thanks IntuitiveNipple: thats what i was looking for! [09:34] anyone have any idea why I can't enable better visual settings? I've GF 9800GTX and I've dled the drivers from package manager [09:34] Thanks guys! [09:35] maybe your resolution settings? [09:35] and color depth [09:36] Atax: If it's precompiled, it'd be easier for you to just put it in your ~/. Saves you headaches with upgrades etc [09:36] might have to alter a conf file, or update driver [09:36] jim_p: regarding that link. I think Canonical is doing the right thing in this case. [09:36] Atax: But sure, /usr/bin for binaries, /etc for settings and so forth, is the standard [09:36] Atax: you may be interested in the FHS then http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html [09:36] !FHS | Atax [09:36] Atax: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [09:37] I know about FHS a bit, ... I previously looked up the wikipedia-article concerning FHS but it dident reveal what you just posted IntuitiveNipple! [09:37] BlueEagle: i agree. canonical is a company and not some independant linux user out there, so it must play by the rules. but what happens when i want codecs? and i am NOT under the american law [09:37] Atax: Often you have to chase links to get to the good stuff :) [09:38] that's the truth [09:38] But I ll look at the www.pathname.com, ... perhaps that will help if i have similar questions in the future! [09:38] I just found what i needed after 5 hours of link hunting.. [09:38] well res is set to 1280 x 1024 and I can't set it to higher.. can't find color depth.. and I dled the drivers today from the add/rmv app thingie [09:38] Atax: Just a skim read of the headings is very informative [09:38] IntuitiveNipple: Well, that s true ;) [09:39] usually from the configs I've done you add the color depth, what flavor linux? [09:39] ubuntu [09:39] of course [09:39] silly question [09:40] aki_: Is the system using the open-source or restricted driver? Has it defaulted to fail-safe mode (that can often happen without you realising, and use the standard VESA driver which is limited) [09:41] hi how do i set my default keyring? [09:41] or find it [09:41] nm-applet wants to access it but it is lokced [09:42] any ideas about w32codecs? [09:42] zeno: Applications > Accessories > Passwords and Encryption Keys [09:43] IntuitiveNipple I think it's the restricted ones [09:43] Anyone here put linux on their ipod? [09:43] don't know about the other stuff [09:43] jim_p: I missed your original problem - I assume you're trying to install from medibuntu repository? [09:43] IntuitiveNipple: well its locked it to that menu only, i can ctrl alt f1 for a tty [09:43] aki: best to check: egrep 'drivers/.*_drv' /var/log/Xorg.0.log [09:43] jim_p: Then you grab something that are legal by your countrys standards. [09:43] !anyone | aunvoh [09:43] aunvoh: 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? [09:43] aki_ [09:43] http://www.ubuntux.org/reset-xwindows-color-depth [09:44] zeno: Is there no cancel button? [09:44] IntuitiveNipple: deney or ok [09:44] zeno: Usually the default keyring has the same password as your user account log-in [09:44] IntuitiveNipple: the w32codecs is no longer in meibuntu, here is why > http://ostatic.com/173388-blog/canonical-opens-codec-sales-and-potential-can-of-worms#rss [09:45] jim_p: really? since when? [09:45] / [09:45] BlueEagle: which is... w32codecs, which are not in medibuntu!!! [09:45] its not, o well ill just deney/reconfig [09:45] take care all, time for some sleep [09:45] jim_p: http://packages.medibuntu.org/hardy/w32codecs.html [09:48] jim_p: That article says nothing about w32codecs not being in medibuntu [09:48] IntuitiveNipple: :| how come it did not get it from the non-free repo then? i have it enabled! [09:48] let me finish something and i will look it up [09:48] jim_p: Not sure on that one, unless there was a temporary network issue, or some package dependency issue [09:49] what do I need to install for file transferring over bluetooth? [09:49] jim_p, you can download one from the net! [09:49] IntuitiveNipple: the article says about canonical providing codeds and dvd with $$ as exchange. so its logical for the w32 codecs to be removed from medibuntu [09:49] Kartagis: Nothing, the applet that comes by default should do it [09:50] jim_p: No, Canonical is doing that to ensure there is a legal route for people that need it, to have the codecs. [09:50] Jordan_U, what if it doesn't? [09:50] hay [09:50] IntuitiveNipple: then why were the codecs removed from there? [09:50] jim_p: medibuntu isn't operated by Canonical [09:51] Kartagis: No idea. What happens when you try to use the bluetooth applet? [09:51] removed from where? The codecs are in the medibuntu repository! [09:51] Jordan_U, I haven't tried yet [09:51] how can i install ubuntu on a specified partion === patrick is now known as Guest32520 [09:51] Jordan_U, where is in anyway? [09:51] IntuitiveNipple: i have the medibuntu in my sources.list, and i still dont get w32codecs [09:52] ubuntu installed with Wubi is on a partition or not? [09:52] Guest32520: Use the installer's "manual partitioning" option [09:52] how can i install ubuntu on a specified partion [09:52] IntuitiveNipple: http://pastebin.com/d6de86a90 [09:52] oh, system, preferences [09:52] IntuitiveNipple: however, I think I still can get a f*cking XP tag and sell this sh*t to any m*ron (now I'm hell m*d) [09:52] jim_p: Then there is a problem with the packaging system, or the network [09:52] ok === marko_ is now known as marko-_- [09:53] trylobytero: You can have the old Vista sticker from my laptop :) I know its around here somewhere! [09:53] ty [09:53] do you know somting abowt xhtml en html??? [09:53] what they're selling isn't w32codecs; it's flumendo's implementation of various codecs. w32codecs aren't theirs to license [09:53] Jordan_U, that applet is talking about a converter. do i need an extra device? [09:53] IntuitiveNipple: there is a problem with medibuntu! the package has moved to non-free, it was removed from the medibuntu repo BUT NOT FROM THE SITE [09:53] I meant licence, not tag (sorry, i'm hell mad), but thanks :) [09:54] thx [09:55] IntuitiveNipple: Thanks! Installed lives... should work great for video editing [09:55] redouan, #html [09:55] the biggest sh*t is I'm leaving next Monday for a 7 months internship in another country (I'm Spanish, going to Scotland), and I need a notebook :'( [09:56] by the way, what's the difference between laptop and notebook? I don't know the difference, is there any difference anyway? [09:56] trylobytero if you can't speak without swearing, please don't speak [09:56] trylobytero staring it out doesn't change the fact that it;s swearing [09:57] ikonia: sorry, it won't happen again [09:57] trylobytero appriciated [09:57] ok installed w32codecs. thank you for your help IntuitiveNipple [10:00] and anyway, why ya need license, sell it with VISTA without...lol [10:00] Hi. I just installed tslib with apt-get, but I need to know the location of the library and its headers. How can I find out where they are? Thanks. [10:00] can anyone tell me a fast way to change identical information in many files at once ? [10:01] oh heck. most wont even know anyhow [10:01] peter_: whereis tslib [10:01] cherva: Tried it, doesn't help. [10:02] peter_: hmm don't know then :) [10:02] cherva: Neither does whereis libts :-) [10:02] i'm wondering whether i can use clipboard between rxvt and firefox. looks like i can copy a url from rxvt and paste it into firefox. === co_anjink is now known as alone_chamudt [10:03] peter: dpkg -L tslib [10:03] sorry. looks like i cannot copy a url from rxvt and paste it into firefox. [10:03] jim_p: glad you got it sorted. The w{32,64}codecs packages are still listed in the Packages files for apt: http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/hardy/non-free/binary-i386/ [10:03] GRRR still i cant find the w32codecs package. can anyone give me a direct link? [10:04] jim_p: http://packages.medibuntu.org/hardy/w32codecs.html [10:04] IntuitiveNipple: i was looking at the greek server for some non-free folder all this time [10:04] IntuitiveNipple: direct link, this is only info [10:04] jim_p: Ahhh, a mirror issue maybe? [10:04] IntuitiveNipple: dunno [10:04] jim_p: READ the page. link is at the bottom! [10:05] jim_p: Architecture: "i386" is the link [10:05] yezhao: Thanks. === alone_chamudt is now known as ce_narZiez [10:06] IntuitiveNipple: ok i know its the link there. but i want it to work from apt!!! [10:07] Hi, my users and groups manager has removed all users and groups, and removed me from sudoers.... is there any way to get this stuff back? It did it when I was adding a new user [10:07] hi.. === ShadowXP is now known as Guest81449 [10:07] to clarify: all users with 3 exceptions [10:07] hi [10:07] hi vicky [10:07] jim_p: double-check the repo is enabled in apt, and do an "apt-get update" too, the do "apt-cache madison w32codecs" [10:08] hi jackhaos [10:08] larryone sure, no problem, what happened to make the users / groups go ? [10:08] larryone: just trying to understand what happened before I expalin how to fix [10:08] sry [10:08] How can I change the "frame per second" parameter in ivtv? [10:08] I tried to install ubuntu..but while installation the system hangs..why it is happening? [10:08] but I using Xp sp2 [10:08] pls help me [10:08] yezhao: How can I get libts headers? I've downloaded a bunch of .so files, but have no headers [10:08] I tried to install ubuntu..but while installation the system hangs..why it is happening? [10:09] jackhaos: what's the issue [10:09] IntuitiveNipple: what is madison? [10:09] vicky1408 quick test, when the system hangs can you press the caps lock button and make the keyboard light coem on /off [10:09] NO [10:09] Indoctrine: and apt-cache search w32codecs returns nothing [10:09] the caps lock is not working at that time [10:09] i have to go [10:10] <_haywire_> cya jim_p [10:10] bye jim_p [10:10] we will solve it in 3-4 hours when i return [10:10] bye [10:10] jim_p: Then there is a problem with your apt lists [10:10] ikonia: I opened users and groups, put in my passwd, the list that came up was blank, not even me on it. I clicked add user, added a new user, and the list refreshed to show only root. I closed the tool and re-ran it, adding another user, same experience. now only root, me, and the second added user exist - auth log shows that root removed everything else.... [10:10] please tell me how do i join xen developers network [10:10] ikonia are you there? [10:10] help me pls [10:11] the caps lock is not working at that time [10:11] vicky1408 ok, so it's a total hard lock, the most common cause for that is a minor hardware issue, so what I'd suggest doing is when you boot the cd select the "memtest" option, this will take a long time to run, approxy 12- 24 hours [10:11] Hello. I would like to remove certain applications from autostart, including the Gnome interface. How do I do this? [10:11] vicky1408: hold on [10:11] vicky1408: but this will give you a quick scan of your memory in your machine to get an solid understanding it's "ok" [10:11] m trying to connect but then the box is getting closed [10:11] Hello. Since 2 days. I don't get any emails from evolution. In my webmail i received emails. Does anyboby have the same issue?

[10:12] larryone: You'd have to have all users selected and press the Delete button to have Users and Groups delete them all [10:12] larryone no problem, boot into "recovery" mode from the boot option and select a recovery shell, then do "usermod -G admin $username" replacing username with your user, when you reboot your user will be back in the sudouers list and you can use the gui to re-set thigns back up [10:12] 80GB [10:12] vicky1408: thats not ram [10:12] not ya hdd [10:12] vicky1408: how much ram (not disk) do you have [10:12] ya MEM [10:12] ok...256MB [10:12] ah [10:12] vicky1408: your on the limit of what the installer needs [10:12] need more [10:13] vicky1408: you can either run the memcheck option to test it, or use the "alternative cd" to do an instal [10:13] usa1: no she doesn't need more [10:13] Hi there.

[10:32] c4r1o open the package manager and install the package called ccsm [10:32] thx [10:32] there's no ccsm package there :-( [10:33] c4r1o: For the basics (if you don't laready know): System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects [10:33] c4r1o what version of ubuntu are you using [10:33] latest one, downloaded yesterday [10:33] c4r1o: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [10:33] c4r1o: search for ccsm [10:33] c4r1o: you'll find there is a package called simple-ccsm [10:34] yeah simple-ccsm found!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [10:39] hi! I have an USB-Device (cycling-computer), which only has an Windows-Driver (http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/392335/) - a simple one, as it seems. Is there a possibility to programm an simple linux-driver? [10:39] when i srun command with sudo my JAVA_HOMe env variable is not visible [10:39] bt when i run it whoud sudo then it is viisble [10:39] kibibyte sudo JAVA_HOME=path javac -c $blach [10:40] kibibyte or sudo -E blah [10:40] ok === co_anjink is now known as hguh [10:41] * a[2121]e slaps Pr0f`zann around a bit with a large trout === hguh is now known as ce_raziez [10:42] linuxius: It looks like it uses a standard serial (modem) connection, so you should be able to set up a module alias in Linux to one of the usb-serial drivers - a good chance that'd work, then connect with a serial terminal application like gtkterm [10:44] Hello, I use FireFox and have installed mozilla-plugin-vlc. But still I get only a blank screen with the text "(no video)" from this link: http://www.bt.no/webtv/?id=14093 [10:44] IntuitiveNipple: I'm not used to programming. How do I do that? [10:45] In my Places menu I have an FTP://* link and when I click on it nautilus and firefox opens at the same time ... how to prevent firefox from opening ftp://* links ? [10:45] linuxius: See the output of "modinfo usbserial" - note that you can pass a USB vendor:product ID to it - give it the one from your bike-computer [10:45] ikonia: I went a step further. found out all of the users like daemon and stuff were gone also. booted the install disk, copied the bulk of /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group back into my systems /etc/ dir - preserving the 3 remaining logins. [10:46] does anybody here know what to do when an SD card becomes unwritable after partitioning? [10:46] larryone sounds fine [10:46] is there some way to force the disk to be writable again? [10:46] LuYu not put a file system on it ? [10:46] ikonia: so now i'm booted properly, and have the real root passwd incase this happens again [10:46] LuYu: mounted it read only [10:46] no, i want to write to it [10:46] linuxius: To load the module you'd do something like: "sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1d9d product=0x1000" [10:46] LuYu it is probably mounted read only [10:46] it gets mounted rw, but it denies permission for all writes [10:47] no, i checked [10:47] the rw flag was definitely there [10:47] ikonia: made backups incase it happens when i open the users and groups manager again.... I really want to try to find out why this happened. Do I have all thhe files I need? passwd, shadow, group, sudoers. ?? [10:47] LuYu what is the permission === lakitu2 is now known as lakitu [10:47] I need help! I use FireFox and have installed mozilla-plugin-vlc. But still I get only a blank screen with the text "(no video)" from this link: http://www.bt.no/webtv/?id=14093 [10:47] larryone prety much [10:47] col [10:47] should be the same as this disk [10:47] linuxius: if that works, you'd add the options to /etc/modprobe.d/options : "options usbserial vendor=0x1d9d product=0x1000" so it works every time you load it [10:47] how do i run a script as sudo at boot? [10:48] !init | ushills [10:48] ushills: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [10:48] i did a dd copy of the partition on this card (2GB) and then used gpartd to expand it to the size of the new card (8GB) [10:48] however, this card (no change of course) allows writing [10:48] LuYu I asked what permissions it was [10:48] LuYu: also what file system is on it [10:48] the 8GB card doesnt [10:49] the two systems are identical [10:49] IntuitiveNipple: ok, I will try this now [10:49] it boots fine and everything is the same [10:49] LuYu: stop making random comments and answer the uetions [10:49] questions [10:49] the permissions are exactly the same as on here [10:49] i cant write to my home directory on that disk [10:49] LuYu what are the permissons and what file system is it [10:49] fat16 [10:49] LuYu stop making random comments, and answer the questions [10:50] im trying [10:50] LuYu: right -so fat16 doesn't support permissions [10:50] LuYu: so there is a good start [10:50] Hi, I want to by a laptop that is compatible with ubuntu, and ofcourse I've checked the list provided by ubuntu. I want to go for Dell Vestro 1310. The problem that there are also differences between some of the generations of vestro 1310 like in the VGA chippest. Please advice, what would you go for: An integrated Intell VGA, or NVidia external VGA? [10:50] LuYu: so it needs to be mouonted with the user rw options [10:50] ikonia: I opened the users and groups tool again, only root was listed there... not me, not any other account. closed it again, and checked my passwd files and all. they're ok. Why would the tool list only the root user??? [10:50] hold on [10:50] larryone thats a very good question [10:50] ill have to revise that [10:51] its jffs2 [10:51] ubottu. i have a script to start junglediskmonitor but want it to automatically run in the background when anyone logs in. [10:51] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:51] i guess its sitting on a fat16 partition [10:51] LuYu the partitions is not importa,t the file system is [10:51] Good Day everybody, I was wondering are GCC and CC are the same? I mean I use CC or GCC command does that make any difference? [10:52] kushalsejwal they are environment variables that point tot he c and c++ compilers [10:52] mtd0 on / type jffs2 (rw,noatime) [10:52] linuxius: You'd also probably want to add an entry in "/etc/modprobe.d/aliases" so the driver is loaded whenever the device is connected. something like "alias usb:v1D9Dp1000 usbserial" [10:52] kushalsejwal: not the same but usually makes no difference [10:52] i know [10:52] kushalsejwal: most just use CC [10:52] LuYu please pastebin the output of "mount" and the output of "ls -la $mount_point" in a pastebin [10:52] IntuitiveNipple: when I type in the "sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1d9d product=0x1000" , how do I know that it worked? [10:52] larryone: what user IDs do the user accounts have? [10:52] however, since its a file system within a file system, the question gets weirder [10:52] ikonia larryone : thanks guys I would use CC only :) [10:53] LuYu you can't have a file system within a file system [10:53] mtd0 on / type jffs2 (rw,noatime) [10:53] proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) [10:53] varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755) [10:53] varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777) [10:53] LuYu: a partition is format with a file system - you can't change it a directory level [10:53] LuYu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:53] udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) [10:53] linuxius: check loaded modules using something like "lsmod | grep serial" and check the log-file: "tail /var/log/kern.log" [10:53] devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) [10:53] LuYu I asked you to use a pastebin [10:53] LuYu: PLEASE start listening [10:53] IntuitiveNipple: the defaults they were given. added users incrementing from 1000 the rest are the usual system and subsystem users all with defaults [10:53] i'm user 1000, first one added [10:54] Hey, can somebody recommend a tool for creating RSS-feeds (for podcasting)? Is there one in the standard repositories? [10:54] larryone: Hmmm, there's something strange agoing on! [10:54] well, ive never heard of a pastebin before [10:54] sorry [10:54] LuYu: so say "I don't know what a pastebin is" [10:54] !pastebin [10:54] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[10:58] linuxius: cdc_acm 1-4:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device [10:58] IntuitiveNipple: so that means? [10:58] IntuitiveNipple: I'll have a look and see if theres something funny there, but I dont have alot of experience with gconf. unfortunately i'm still on gibbon. upgrade to heron broke my test system, so until i get it working i'm goin to leave my prod system as is [10:58] LuYu so / is the card ? [10:58] LuYu: and this is an ubuntu install ? === jmhealey is now known as MidnightGamblr [10:58] right [10:58] yes it is [10:59] LuYu ok, so show me the output for "id" please [10:59] after make defconfig, there is no more need to load .config in make menuconfig, right ?

Gutsy was where the bug was [10:59] SOG: thats default [10:59] IntuitiveNipple: is there a fix released for gutsy?

[10:59] ya ikonia I just need to edit something from the default [10:59] SOG ok, so do it [11:00] hmmm [11:00] larryone: There was for the issue I worked on, but I don't think it is identical to your issue at all.

[11:01] IntuitiveNipple: ok, i'll just poke around a bit with gconf a bit. If I can replicate the problem on a test box I might report it as a bug [11:01] larryone: certainly sounds worth reporting [11:01] Linux HostName 2.6.22-20071231.2.olpc.83e0631da83a269 #1 PREEMPT Mon Dec 31 10:37:17 EST 2007 i586 GNU/Linu [11:01] LuYu is this ubuntu yes/no [11:02] everything is ubuntu except a few files copied from the OLPC system [11:02] yes [11:02] popeye, I suspect our university webserver does not meet the minimum requirements for wordpress :[ [11:02] LuYu that kernel is not ubuntu [11:02] LuYu show me "lsb_release -a" please [11:03] uid=500(user) gid=500(user) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),104(scanner),109(lpadmin),110(admin),500(user) [11:03] larryone: I can find the original bug title but not the report itself :p [11:04] can anyone recommend a good video converter [11:04] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [11:04] Description: Ubuntu 7.10 [11:04] Release: 7.10 [11:04] Codename: gutsy [11:04] ikonia my questions is, does the make oldconfig, or make defconfig will generate a .config file which I need to load when I do make menuconfig ? [11:04] LuYu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:04] juliandevwgf: winff [11:04] IntuitiveNipple: dang... well I'll see if i can replicate this [11:04] SOG .config is loaded by default when you do a make $whateverconfig [11:05] Oh, okay, I see thanks ikonia === AliTarihi|away is now known as AliTarihi [11:05] IntuitiveNipple: so I don't need no particular driver? [11:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/55941/ [11:05] LuYu: I'm quite confused that a.) why you have a non-ubuntu kernel b.) why you using an unusual file system for your root file system c.) why you expect to write to your /(root) file system as a non-privileged user [11:05] winff =unsupported codec for output [11:06] because a stock ubuntu kernel cannot properly run the OLPC hardware [11:06] or so i assume [11:06] juliandevwgf: what do you want to convert and what do you want to convert to? [11:06] what program is used, to copy dvds to hardrive [11:06] LuYu thats a pretty bad assumption [11:06] vob to avi [11:06] LuYu also that doesn't explain the unusual file system [11:06] the instructions on installing ubuntu to an OLPC required this [11:06] linuxius: It appears that the cdc-acm driver has recognised the device [11:06] juliandevwgf: get ffmpeg from medibuntu and use winff, should work [11:07] udf [11:07] il give it a try [11:07] thanks [11:07] IntuitiveNipple: and how can I mount the device? [11:07] ikonia / LuYu i know someone who has put ubuntu on their OLPC [11:07] how can i watch a remote ssh session on my system? [11:07] toresn: screen -x ? [11:07] LuYu so what command are you using to try to right to your file system [11:07] popey be interested if your forced to use jjfs2 file system [11:07] i didnt try anything [11:08] LuYu you said you couldn't write to it [11:08] i just observed that i couldnt write to the new disk [11:08] touch monkey.txt [11:08] LuYu in what direcotry [11:08] on this copy, it works [11:08] my home directory [11:08] LuYu: please pastebin ls -la /home [11:08] if i dont have write permission there, i wont have it anywhere [11:08] LuYu / ikonia http://www.olpcnews.com/software/operating_system/how_to_ubuntu_on_xo_laptop.html [11:08] this is the writable disk [11:09] LuYu: please pastebin ls -la /home [11:09] but it isnt a permissions issue [11:09] i already checked [11:09] LuYu: please pastebin ls -la /home [11:09] i would have to reboot for that to make any difference [11:09] im running on the writable disk now [11:09] LuYu if your not going to provide info, we can't help [11:09] larryone: found it! Don't think it is related though: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/141067 [11:09] look, im not trying to be combative here [11:09] installed ffmpeg still same problem [11:10] LuYu your not doing anything [11:10] popey: that will just open my screen session [11:10] but i am asking a hardware question [11:10] LuYu then you should ask in ##ubuntu [11:10] toresn: -x allows shared screen session.. [11:10] LuYu: in ##hardware sorry [11:10] popey: i'd like to see what users connected to my system is doing [11:10] is=are === freaky[t] is now known as freaky_t [11:10] is there a tool in linux that can override SD DRM, so i can use a disk where the DRM has locked down because of repartitioning? [11:11] LuYu drm would not effect your home directory [11:11] (users connected to my system through a shh session) [11:11] LuYu: unless you mean the hardware has drm locked in [11:11] toresn: tail -f /home/$user/.bash_history :) [11:11] toresn: just type w to see what users are doing === freaky_t is now known as freaky[t] [11:11] SD comes with hardware DRM [11:11] LuYu: well - no they all don't [11:11] LuYu: for example the one my laptop is just an SD memory stick [11:11] LuYu things like sony's magic gate it [11:12] is [11:12] on many SD cards (sandisk and transflash have this problem specifically) they lock up and do not allow writing after partitioning [11:12] oops [11:12] InutitiveNipple: how can I then mount the device? [11:12] LuYu I'm using a san disk SD card here [11:12] linuxius: You don't mount it, from what I can see, it 'seems' to present itself like a modem so I'm guessing it'll respond to commands, like modems do to the AT command set [11:12] s/transflash/transcend [11:12] have you partitioned it? [11:13] LuYu yes [11:13] can someone recommend a good video converter [11:13] juliandevwgf mencoder [11:13] well, maybe those problems have been fixed in recent sandisk disks [11:13] juliandevwgf: did you try ffmpeg/winff? [11:14] LuYu or maybe not all SD disks have DRM locked onto them at a hardware level [11:14] a few years ago, you couldnt even read one after partitioning [11:14] popey: yea but it wont convert to avi [11:14] toresn: Sorry, missed your question. The answer is, use a screen multiuser session [11:14] hmmm [11:14] i dont know [11:14] juliandevwgf: works here, what problem do you get? [11:14] all i know is that i have two systems [11:14] LuYu either way, drm should not be broken for level reasons [11:14] identical copies with identical permissions [11:14] it cannot be a software problem [11:14] legal [11:14] it tells me xvid is not a recognized format [11:14] one works and one doesnt [11:14] hali [11:14] LuYu: it can, but I'm not going to argue with you [11:15] juliandevwgf: did you install ffmpeg from medibuntu? [11:15] how can a dd copy result in a broken system? [11:15] !medibuntu | juliandevwgf [11:15] juliandevwgf: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [11:15] well, it certainly cannot be the file permission settings or the mounting [11:15] as those things are identical even in the output [11:16] il check it out [11:16] IntuitiveNipple: is there a link for these commands? [11:17] well, it looks like my time limit has been exceeded === DumbIntel is now known as demism [11:17] linuxius: I have no idea. You'll have to research that yourself. They are probably device-specific [11:17] see you guys later [11:17] is there a way to purge all my installed dev packages?

I am even unable to see the video. For me it's just a black window with a text "(no video)" [11:20] needhelp: dunno, url?

[11:22] m0u5e: hah! sudo apt-get -s --purge remove '.*-dev' (missing .) [11:22] needhelp: microsoft product - often used for streaming video - there is no linux version [11:22] IntuitiveNipple: that's handy! [11:22] popey: Can be dangerous too, hence the -s even for experts :) [11:23] haha why does the . make a difference? xD [11:23] m0u5e: because it is a regular expression expected, not a shell glob === osfameron is now known as uo [11:23] :) === uo is now known as osfameron [11:23] IntuitiveNipple: uh o, it removed some stuff i needed too... like blender 6__6 [11:23] using file roller is there a way to make a password protected archive? [11:23] m0u5e: .* means zero-or-more of any character [11:24] popey: check that link again. At the upper right corner, you can choose between Silverlight and Windows Media Player. Any chanced to save the video to my harddisc then ? [11:24] m0u5e: I *told* you to ensure it wouldn't do that before using it!! [11:24] what app can I use to format a partition? [11:24] IntuitiveNipple: no no i mean in the simulation it removed stuff i needed lol [11:24] IntuitiveNipple: sorry if i didn't make that clear ;-) [11:24] needhelp: yes, mplayer can do it [11:24] m0u5e: phew!! you gave me a heart-attack :D [11:24] How can I create a .iso file from my ubuntu cd? [11:25] m0u5e: If it is only selecting -dev packages, do you need the blender -dev ? [11:25] usamahashimi: mkisofs [11:26] IntuitiveNipple: it seems to remove the regular blender file [11:26] ikonia: concerning upgrade to version 8.10 I have a few questions left [11:26] needhelp: one moment.. [11:26] popey, yes, i remember its name but I dont know the exact command, can you tell me? [11:26] paul68 ok, you may want to consider joining #ubuntu+1 [11:26] usamahashimi: man mkisofs :) [11:26] popey: k... [11:27] popey, the hard way! :) [11:27] ikonia: what is the difference between this chat and ubuntu+1? [11:27] usamahashimi: well the alternative is for _me_ to read the man page [11:27] paul68: ubuntu+1 is for the next release [11:27] IntuitiveNipple: it removes cdbs, intltool, automake, blender, build-essential, g__-4.2, quilt, po-debconf, intltool-debian, gettext, gnucash, envy O_O; [11:28] What kernel does hardy come with? [11:28] popey: I understand [11:28] paul68: not out yet, due end of the month, once it comes out, support can be found here for that release, then we start the next release in +1 again [11:28] popey, man mkisofs says that no manual [11:28] paul68 ubuntu+1 is for 8.10 discussion [11:28] usamahashimi: install it? sudo apt-get install mkisofs [11:28] i started ubuntu-server install on a machine, it asked me for the http proxy at the end of install, i don't remember proxy, so i just clicked continue, and now its scanning mirrors at 28% for the last half an hour [11:28] IntuitiveNipple: i guess a few dev files are required... is there a way i can reassign priorities? to get rid of as many as possible, without upsetting deps? [11:28] how would I go about identifying ordinary files, directory, and link files in /usr/bin using ls, grep, and wc commands? [11:28] popey, it is installed [11:28] error404notfoun1 do you need a proxy to get to the interenet [11:29] popey: are you able to see the video when you select "Windows Media Player" on that site ? [11:29] usamahashimi: ah, use mkisofs --help [11:29] needhelp: yeah, hang on [11:29] popey: I see however my question is concerning a back up of by stuff and eventually find a way to install firefox with all my extentions without having to search for them again [11:29] paul68 you can only backup your home dir - but this contains your firefox info [11:29] popey, yes, lemme check thanks :) === croppa_ is now known as croppa [11:30] I'm trying to help my mom rid herself of AOL (she currently runs Ubuntu, and XP inside VMWare to use AOL, largely because of her favorites and address book on AOL) - anyone know of scripts for converting those to evolution? [11:30] how would I go about identifying ordinary files, directory, and link files in /usr/bin using ls, grep, and wc commands? [11:30] ikonia: so when I install from scratch I don't have another way then reinstall all my applications [11:30] m0u5e: Use this to generate the list, then edit the file in a text-editor until it only contains the packages you want removing: dpkg-query -l '*-dev' | awk '$1 ~ /^ii/ { print $2 > "dev-packages.txt"}' [11:30] paul68 correct [11:31] needhelp: http://jwz.livejournal.com/536142.html?thread=9476430 take a look at that [11:31] have anyone tried those morse software for Debian and use them on Xubuntu? [11:32] is there a way to do this in a semi automatic way for example create a bash file with all the installation instructions for the several programs? [11:32] SOG don't mix debian repos with ubuntu [11:32] paul68 if it's a firefox extension it will be in your home dir and ok [11:32] ikonia: not necessarily [11:32] popey mostly [11:32] ikonia but isn't ubuntu based on Debian ? [11:32] ikonia: no, not true [11:32] SOG but ubuntu is not debian [11:32] popey: expand on that [11:32] ikonia: if you install extensions using the apt-get thing, they wont be [11:32] could someone point out a good how to to make password protected archives with file roller [11:33] popey ahh that is vERY true [11:33] um... but I don't see much morse or radio software for ubuntu... [11:33] SOG so it's not packaged for ubuntu yet [11:33] ikonia and popey is there a way to create a bash script that can install every application that I want to be installed ? [11:33] m0u5e: Then use this command (without the -s) to remove the packages: sudo apt-get -s --purge remove $(cat dev-packages.txt | while read pkg; do echo -n "$pkg "; done) [11:33] paul68 it's probably easier to just walk through synaptic and click what you want [11:34] if so how to do this? [11:34] paul68: yes, using dpkg --get-selections and dpkg --set-selections [11:34] IntuitiveNipple: alright trying thx :) [11:34] ikonia will that be hard to uninstall if I got one of those debian package installed? because I saw "debian package search" for download in the update manager [11:34] popey won't taht fail due to different versions/package naming in 8.10 ? [11:34] its a good start [11:34] SOG try uninstalling it, see what it does [11:35] popey yes, a fine starting point [11:35] paul68: http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/06/howto-backup-all-installed.html [11:35] IntuitiveNipple: yeah there are some weird deps going on [11:35] popey: I have installed mplayer. But from that site you pasted: step 3: No such file or directory. Step 4: command not found. [11:35] IntuitiveNipple: i can't remove some of the devs without other files getting removed [11:35] m0u5e: thigns depends on other things [11:35] m0u5e: instead of using apt-get remove, you could use dpkg -r [11:35] needhelp: it's for osx (the mac OS) so needs some changes for linux - it's a general guide === FreddyGonzo is now known as minimec [11:36] IntuitiveNipple: would that not cause it to remove non devs? [11:36] IntuitiveNipple: err would that allow it *not to remove non devs? [11:36] m0u5e: For what you are trying to do, I'd suggest using synaptic and filter on Installed -dev packages might be easier for you to check packages and dependencies [11:37] popey: how to get mplayer_noaltivec? [11:37] m0u5e: dpkg will only usually operate on the package(s) it is told to work with [11:37] needhelp: you dont, just use the "mplayer" command [11:37] ikonia so it's not safe to install debian packages on ubuntu ? [11:38] SOG no [11:38] hello everybody, i'm new to ubuntu, how can i install a package that i download and now is on my desktop? [11:38] popey: if I understand this procedure correctly I need to go to for example my folder backup and run the command sudo dpkg -i *.deb is this correct? [11:38] c4r1o which package is it [11:38] What are the risks involved in upgrading to 8.10 from 8.4 today? [11:38] c4r1o: was it not in the ubuntu repos ? [11:38] theme package [11:38] wces it won't work [11:38] sry [11:38] is the cairo-dock one [11:38] for the bar [11:38] c4r1o what format is it (tar.gz?) [11:38] paul68: it is a general guide, i would do more research - not necessarily following that guide verbatim [11:38] ikonia: Can you please elaborate? [11:38] it's a tar.bz2 [11:39] wces it could not work/break and you'd have to re-install [11:39] How do i get SWAP? [11:39] wces: applications might break, you might lose data, your cat might burn your house down etc [11:39] !swap [11:39] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [11:39] NVM [11:39] c4r1o: you need to untar it and read the README or INSTALL file in the package [11:39] popey ok [11:39] ok i'll do it now th [11:39] ikonia:thanks for scaring me! [11:39] thx [11:39] IntuitiveNipple: is there something the opposite of apt-get build-dep? like apt-get remove-dep? lol [11:39] wces it's the truth [11:39] popey: thank to you too [11:40] popey: like mplayer -dumpstream?

I just created one, it took 30 seconds.

I just join the dots :) [11:46] ikonia isn't there a way to install the cario-dock package from synaptics [11:46] c4r1o don't konw, don't use it [11:46] this is feisty server [11:47] couse using the terminal is really hard to me :-( [11:47] ikonia: I know what the error is [11:47] Hey guys, what commands do I need to type to find out how many ordinary files, directories, and link files that exist in my /usr/bin directory??? [11:47] hi - I have just set up my headless box to my nat router. My laptop also connectors works fine. I can sssh from laptop to box, and I can ping from laptop to box. I can ping from box to laptop. I can't apt-get however, and i can't ping www.google.com from the box. any ideas? [11:47] IntuitiveNipple do tell [11:47] ikonia: It depends on where the package came from though - that path is from the source package's debian/sshd.install [11:47] anyone know why I get tgis error message when I try to install a gem from the Terminal ? [11:48] Permission denied - /var/lib/gems/1.8/cache/hpricot-0.6.161.gem [11:48] IntuitiveNipple but it's in the ubuntu repo [11:48] IntuitiveNipple: looking at his paste [11:48] edmoore. have you set a dns server under resolv.conf [11:48] IntuitiveNipple: okay, i've gone ahead and created the filter and I'm looking through these, but theres just a crapload of deps [11:48] By the way doesn't IntuitiveNipple violate some policy realted to usernames? [11:48] ikonia: got it. thanks for your help all. [11:48] contarc could you explain the solution [11:48] contarc: I didn't quite pickup full on IntuitiveNipple's comment [11:49] Does not make much sense as to why, but an apt-get clean fixed it.

[11:50] http://pastebin.com/d76dae342 [11:50] maybe that might help on the research [11:51] Hi, I want to by a laptop that is compatible with ubuntu, and ofcourse I've checked the list provided by ubuntu. I want to go for Dell Vestro 1310. The problem that there are also differences between some of the generations of vestro 1310 like in the VGA chippest.

[12:20] 3hourz and 40 minuts to download the live cd [12:20] hmmmmm [12:21] one question do you guys think that silverlight will be made for other operation systems [12:21] Is there some art to mounting samba shares these days? I used to mount -t smbfs //ip.add.ress./sharename /mountpoint I knew that it changed to cifs in Fedora, but not in Ubuntu initially, then I stopped running into windows boxes and didn't have to worry about it. [12:21] md22 don't know, and thats nothing to do with ubuntu [12:21] no md22 [12:21] contarc: Thanks... I did wonder about that but thought if it got that far it ought to be okay [12:21] craigbass1976 your command looks fine [12:21] file permissions on a usb-flash drive are not really a security measure. Can I get rid of them, while keeping the case-sensitivity of the file-system? [12:21] silverlight is for microsoft internet exp [12:22] Is it possible to autostart wifi connection?

[12:24] bar like macs [12:24] aww ok. [12:24] yeah [12:24] noob-africa: "deb" isn't a command... you should add those lines into the file /etc/apt/sources.list as the article says, or better yet, create a new file just for them, in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/network-manager.list [12:24] scrolling icons [12:24] nice === hon`` is now known as hon [12:24] * md22 sees ikonia is quick on the draw [12:24] u tried installin it with debian pack?

[12:32] hmmmmmmm [12:32] tried to find an update to the plugin? [12:33] IndyGunFreak: why? [12:33] almost all the sites i go to have flash and they all show grey boxes were flash should be...any help?

[12:34] i have flashplugin-nonfree on firefox 3.0 [12:34] billybigrigger - have u installed the flash player? [12:34] does somebody know if a alsa manual install will help if my soundcard doesnt get recognized right by lspci (update-pciids i already did). and i have no sound at the moment. [12:34] its a ALC888s chip [12:34] realtek HD sound [12:34] Strange, that worked for me === sean is now known as Guest73515 [12:35] im pretty sure i have flash player [12:35] billybigrigger_: i would suggest the following (i) sudo apt-get update and (ii) sudo apt-get upgrade [12:35] billybigrigger_: any missing dependencies will be updated and upgraded... [12:36] billybigrigger. search in synaptic manager for flash and check that it is install, I think there is also a reference to firefox in one of the packages [12:36] my system is up to date [12:36] hi all [12:36] pretty sure i said that already [12:36] billybigrigger_: sounds like a problem with your browser, if flash isn't available, most 'flash content' detects this and directs you to installing it. So look at why your browser is not rendering flash content, perhaps your blocking scripts [12:36] i have a problem that i can solve :) [12:36] Mechdave: Use netfilters marks and actions, i.e. http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.adv-filter.policing.html#AEN1393 [12:36] i have deleted /var/cache/debconf there is a way to restore it?

[12:41] what it does anyway? [12:41] i restored the apt cache but i don't know if it's possible restore the deconf cache [12:41] HjV_3ala2: a LOT [12:42] hmmm [12:42] bad [12:43] hello, i think i crashed my hardy heron installation [12:43] what happend clandes?

[12:52] swapna, tell the channel - why do you need to? [12:52] swapna you don't === Omar1 is now known as Omar87 [12:52] swapna:what is glibc? [12:53] i want to add my own wrapper routine in glibc [12:53] amanulla core c library of a linux system [12:53] !glibc [12:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about glibc [12:53] swapna then you should know how to modify it [12:53] swapna: making ANY changes to glibc could be fatal to yous system [12:53] ikonia:ok [12:53] swapna: you should only really change if it you are %150 certain you know what your doing [12:53] ikonia,,,,see clandes [12:53] i want to run a simple c program how can i? [12:53] actually i m a student [12:53] H|V_3ala2: pardon ? [12:54] we r doing a project [12:54] amanulla build it, run iot [12:54] it [12:54] I mean if u can help him [12:54] for which we need to add our own routine to glibc [12:54] carrera: ICH9R uses software aka 'fake' RAID. I think it requires the dmraid kernel module to read the metadata (like the Promise Fastrak series) [12:55] quit [12:55] swapna:how do you run c programs? [12:55] do u use nay editor? [12:55] any editor [12:55] ikonia:if i write a program in text editor can i run it on terminal? [12:55] amanulla: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:55] amanulla: if you compile it [12:55] amanulla: type gcc [12:55] amanulla: then type ./a.out [12:55] amanulla, thats how one normally writes programs.. :) depends on the language you are using... [12:55] amanulla: theer are guides on http://tldp.org on how to build software [12:55] IntuitiveNipple, thanks [12:56] then how should I set up my 3 x 500 GB drives with RAID-0? [12:56] how can I write things in /usr/share/stardict/dic carrera? [12:56] root? [12:56] swapna: You'd install the glibc source, add what you need to it, adjust the makefile as needed, and rebuild it so it can be installed. [12:56] please someone tell me about glibc [12:56] carrera I don't think thats wise [12:56] swapna: what do you want to know [12:57] ikonia, why? [12:57] esay, with use of the sudo command to do things as root... [12:57] how can ı do root? [12:57] !root | esay [12:57] esay: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:57] IntuitiveNipple: do you have any idea about how to modify makefile of glibc [12:57] carrera: If there isn't data on them already, ignore the motherboard 'RAID' and use linux md (mdsdm) to do it [12:57] carrera well your root partition on a raid0 partition is asking for a dead system, plus your probably going to wantt to use fake raid which is a terrible technology [12:57] swapna if you have to ask that - you shouldn't be doing it [12:57] swapna: speak to your professor/teacher that your doing the project for [12:58] swapna: That's what being a student is all about - learning how to learn, and learning how to research, and learning how to do :) [12:58] swapna: be aware that ANY changes to glibc could render the whole system useless [12:58] thyus [12:58] thats ok with me [12:58] swapna: good luck then [12:58] !ext4 | obi_de [12:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [12:59] Can anyone shed some light on this Xserver business...

[12:59] nice ktne [12:59] akiluu: what is the exact error [12:59] akiluu: is there a reason your not using the nvidia drivers pckaged with ubuntu [12:59] IntuitiveNipple: please cd u tell any link where i can get the info about modifying writing the makefile of glibc [12:59] Silly Question: Apart from impressing girls, what else is Compiz good for? [13:00] swapna: come on - this is nothign to do with ubuntu now, do a google for the glibc source [13:00] swapna: be aware of how much stuff links to it [13:00] swpna: you'd configure and install your glib version using --prefix=/usr/local and possibly use LD_LIBRARY_PATH for apps that need to use it. [13:00] lol === newbie is now known as reehan [13:00] ikonia not really just wanted new ones + it seemed like the ones pcked with ubuntu didn't work properly [13:00] hello room [13:00] akiluu: in what way [13:00] anyone knows how to install nvidia drivers? [13:00] akiluu: using new ones can make your system display not work out all [13:01] ktne: open restricted drivers manager and check the nvidia check box === reehan is now known as newbie [13:01] ikonia it failed [13:01] IntuitiveNipple: thank you [13:01] ktne: sudo apt-get install EnvyNG [13:01] ktne: in what way [13:01] swapna: You can get the package using "apt-get source libc6" [13:01] and i want the latest drivers 177.80 [13:01] ikonia, why is fakeRAID terrible? [13:01] can a bash script auto ftp a file? or similar [13:01] IntuitiveNipple: i have downloaded the source [13:01] carrera: terrible technology with bad support in general, even worse in linux [13:01] :) [13:02] swapna: Also, see the GNU info http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ [13:02] hmm... [13:02] ikonia: i'm not sure, it just displayed a popup message in the hardware wizard [13:02] IntuitiveNipple: yeah i will [13:03] AdvoWork, wget can download a file.. and you can call wget from a script.... [13:03] i need a video converter that will convert to .wmv [13:03] carrera: I wrote an article on installing RAID + encryption; it might give you some pointers on using md: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/HardyRAID5EncryptedLVM [13:03] how can i access another laptop on wireless in ubuntu?

[13:05] :) [13:05] IntuitiveNipple: how can i access another laptop on wireless in ubuntu? [13:05] I'm totally confused with what is fakeRAID, softwareRAID and hardware RAID now [13:06] is this any good https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [13:07] IntuitiveNipple: how can i access another laptop on wireless in ubuntu? [13:07] how can i access another laptop on wireless in ubuntu? [13:07] can any one tell us how can we access another laptop on wireless in ubuntu [13:07] newbie, assuming wireless is working.. you can set them both to the same ssid/ip range I think and see if they can ping eachother.. [13:07] carrera: 'fakeraid' is used to describe RAID that, at boot-time, uses special BIOS functions related to the controller, and once an OS is loaded, uses a special driver. [13:08] You may want to isntall a dhcp server on one of the wirless machines. [13:08] hi [13:08] amanulla: it depends on your network settings... is the other laptop part of the peer to peer network? [13:08] yes noob-africa [13:08] Dr_willis_:any commands to install dhpc? [13:08] amanulla, look in the package manager for the dhcpd server [13:08] amanulla: if it is configured on the LAN, well, then it is possible to access... by setting up shared folders [13:08] IntuitiveNipple, what are softwareRAID and hardwareRAID pls? [13:09] noob-africa:i dont know im now in india [13:09] hey one question is it a commom proplem that firefox crashes when under alot of pressure from time to time ??? [13:09] newbie:where r u from? [13:09] setting up the 'shares' would be done after you get the box's just pinging each other.. :) [13:09] india amanulla [13:09] amanulla: is the other laptop in the same building? are you connecting to the same gateway?

[13:10] newbie:state? [13:10] I have 2 computers that are not starting nis at boot. Where to I look to fix this? [13:10] Dr_willis_: exactly [13:10] juliandevwgf, wmv is a rather hated 'format' technically i think wmv is just a conatiner for other codecs.. [13:10] !wmv [13:11] 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 [13:11] noob-africa:i want to acess newbie system [13:11] carrera: software RAID is basically the same as 'fakeRAID', but is also a term for OS-prepared RAID such as md (mdadm). Hardware RAID is when the disk controller does all the RAID work behind the scenes and the OS doesn't know anything about it, or need to get involved with special driveres [13:11] well [13:11] newbie:r u ok with it? [13:11] i need to convert a vob file into a file that will play in windows for a presentation [13:11] * Dr_willis_ wonders if amanulla and newbie are even in the same geographical area [13:11] ive spent hours and still cant seem to do it [13:11] amanulla: are you in the same building> is newbie's system set up for remote access? [13:11] amanulla: sorry, but i am not ok with it [13:11] Dr_willis its a software that when you change something in the OS, when you restart your OS everything will be back to its default state [13:11] juliandevwgf, avi will work.. as will dozens of other formats. [13:12] newbie: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc [13:12] juliandevwgf, with vlc/mplayer/nero player under windows.. you can play the .vob [13:12] IntuitiveNipple: thank u [13:12] when i convert it, windows cant read it [13:12] Dr_willis what i mean about default is, the setting when you first frozen the OS [13:12] juliandevwgf, i would be sure to install all the proper codecs you need under windows.

[13:14] carrera: mine does [13:14] wireless Dr_Willis [13:14] carrera: It depends on which chip-set the motherboard has, but generally, it appears ICH9 is 'fakeRAID' [13:14] * Dr_willis_ said 'tell the channel' [13:14] :) [13:14] akurei, are u using an ASUS-P5E? [13:14] I dont do wireless swap so good luck. [13:15] Dr_Willis thats ok ,thank u [13:15] swap: [13:15] swap: what kinda wireless [13:15] any crypto?

[13:24] Klej: maybe you shouldn't ask in here [13:25] Ok, what gives... I've got a folder on XP Pro shared out wide open as far as I can tell. I can mount it up on linux, can ls and see the files (which have permissions of -rwxrwSrwt 1 root root) but I can't read them [13:27] hey guys, I just created a new username but every time I log in as that username over ssh or into a terminal, that user doesn't get a bash shell by default, just some fairly featureless shell. How can I make the user automatically get a bash shell?

[13:28] * d_dyer is tired :( [13:28] I'm not sure, I just called `useradd -d /home/alex alex` [13:29] |MUSE|, well, I'm about to lob grenades at every windows box here (at work) maybe you could do the same.. Sharing in windows blows... >:| [13:29] d_dyer: same had 3hours of sleep 4 hours of college and going to have like 3-4 hours of very busy work today [13:29] how can i upgrade firefox from the terminal? is it even possible? [13:29] craigbass1976 the permissons on your share looks most odd [13:29] AdvoWork ubuntu will offer you new packages when new ones are available [13:29] okay, I changed the users shell. Why would the default shell be /bin/sh and not /bin/bash anyway? [13:30] AdvoWork: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [13:30] <|MUSE|> craigbass1976: I have afew grenades lying around. Sounds like a good plan. :) [13:30] AdvoWork: That will upgrade all availible packages. [13:30] stork: how did you create the user? [13:30] stork: no idea.. some basic setting for all new users created.. most users are services of some kind after all [13:30] `useradd -d /home/alex alex` [13:30] !apt > AdvoWork [13:30] AdvoWork, please see my private message [13:30] ah good point Slart [13:30] stork: you should use adduser instead [13:31] I see. [13:31] yeah id already done sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [13:31] yay I managed to install the newest nvidia drivers [13:31] how can I install my webcam in ubuntu. I used the "easycam" program and it installs the driver. however it doesnt work [13:31] AdvoWork then you are up to date [13:31] stork: from the man page for useradd.. which you of course checked =), useradd is a low level utility for adding users. On Debian, administrators should usually use adduser(8) instead. [13:31] oh yeah, firefox was already updated DOH, sorry [13:31] of course ;) [13:32] yo yo yo [13:32] want to move ubuntu (established through wubi) at real hdd? [13:32] <|MUSE|> craigbass1976: The only problem is that even the linux samba shares are not visible. [13:32] PEAKTOP: I'm not sure thats possible [13:32] |MUSE|: are you trying to browse your network [13:32] <|MUSE|> yes [13:32] PEAKTOP: you could dd the data to an iso then dd the iso to a drive, yuo'd have to reinstall grub though (not hard) [13:33] |MUSE|: common cause for that is the windows / linux computers are not configured in the same network [13:33] ActionParsnip, i wonder if one could use mondo/mindi to do that .. not that i EVER plan onusing wubi.. [13:33] How do I know uuid drugovo hdd? [13:34] <|MUSE|> ikonia: I am guessing then that my computer is not configured correctly. What do I have to change? [13:34] PEAKTOP nlkid [13:34] PEAKTOP blkid [13:34] I was working in Tomboy notes and i had a notebook propped up against the screen. I 'think' it may have pressed exit. How and ever Tomboy notes won't start up at all anymore, not even after I restarted. Any idea what I can do to save my notes? [13:34] <|MUSE|> I say this because all the other computers can see each other, but I can't see them. [13:34] |MUSE|: smb.conf, maybe make sure the windows are set to bradcast [13:34] |MUSE|: common cause is also the same network but different subnets [13:34] <|MUSE|> ok [13:35] Dr_willis_: me neither, its pretty worthless [13:35] so is it possible to get ubuntu to not start the xserver by default? [13:36] stork sure [13:36] Is there a way to view the log of whatever my computer has done in the last couple of minutes? [13:36] jonnymac: syslog [13:36] stork: you need to edit your menu.lst to boot to the equiv of runlevel 3 [13:36] stork: use update-rc.d to disable xorg [13:36] AdvoWork: no you don't [13:36] oops [13:36] ActionParsnip: not any more [13:36] ActionParsnip: xorg runs ar run level two now [13:36] stork: or you can remove the bit in rc.init to not fire the xserver [13:36] ikonia: wow, crazy [13:37] neat, thanks. [13:37] ikonia: im not rguing with it, works fine [13:37] ActionParsnip: thats the way ubuntu chose to implment upstart [13:37] I don't like it [13:37] the run levels should follow the standard patterns [13:37] ikonia: then change it :D [13:37] ActionParsnip it's fine on a one user basis, but for the mass, it should deploy following the established standards [13:38] ikonia: iirc, that comes from the fact that runlevels 2-5 are identical on debian [13:38] jrib: yup, still not impressed with it [13:38] Why is it that I enabled the passwordless sudo, but my sudo user still has to enter the password the first time it uses sudo. [13:39] ikonia: what i dont get is why there are so many ttys [13:39] ikonia: i always strip it back to like 2 or 3 [13:40] Can some one help me figure out what's wrong with my password less sudo configuration? [13:40] ikonia- I have no idea what I'm looking at, I'm fairly useless at this kind of thing. Tomboy notes just shut down and won't open again, d'you have any ideas what I can do to get it up and running? [13:41] Don't even know where it saved the notes to... [13:41] jonnymac no idea without looking more under the hood [13:42] jonnymac: the way to find out is to research [13:42] is to research what exactly?

Basically I am looking for syntax highlighting and maybe quick ways to enter common php strings, like echo "somehtml"; [14:00] wtgee, yes. I just uncommented it then added my user to group sudo [14:00] Daemonic: you need to install nvidia-glx-new [14:00] quentusrex: Becuase you are also a member of the admin group and that line is below the sudo line. [14:00] ActionParsnip: can I do that while in the live session? [14:00] cdavis: perhaps bluefish? [14:01] aah, so I should commend out the %sudo line, and change the admin line [14:01] quentusrex: Which is pretty silly. Move the sudo line below the admin line and then it should be fine. [14:01] Slart, I will look, thanks [14:01] ahh. what about my problem [14:01] quentusrex: Or do that...I just moved my sudo line [14:01] sam38: have you explained your problem?

[14:27] ActionParsnip: yes [14:28] laeg: yeah, ping -a does it [14:28] ActionParsnip: i used to be able to do it in mirc and even command prompt with /dns and /nslookup [14:28] ActionParsnip: Not my question [14:28] Ornedan: i used the site but i dont get what its actually doing [14:28] IntuitiveNipple, I think I know what I did wrong but I need you to clarify something. I think you wanted me to run cat /etc/resolve.conf with one of those commands? Please clarify, I think I missed a point you made. [14:28] ActionParsnip: that's not giving me a hostname.. and my computer is now beeping at me constantly [14:29] laeg: man ping will show you what you did. [14:29] laeg: its possibly something else like maybe a firewall [14:29] ActionParsnip: i can't type anything because it keeps pinging [14:29] ktne: in extensions section i only have 'composite enable' - i took a look at msg 9 in that thread and saw no extension section at all [14:29] laeg: ctrl + c === rd is now known as Techlog [14:29] thanks [14:30] Hey good morning to you all, I'd like some help with Ubuntu Please, I have a dual boot two hard drives one master has Windows XP & slave has Ubuntu now the problem is I can't write on the NTFS partitions and 2 I want to burn a linux distro on ubuntu but what is there that i can use , like nero for windows?

[14:30] SamanthaGothica: mount it with ntfs-3g [14:30] !ntfs-3g | SamanthaGothica [14:30] SamanthaGothica: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [14:30] hi there. can i find here someone who is familiar with ALSA and campcaster on gutsy? [14:30] SamanthaGothica where you not asking this earler [14:30] SamanthaGothica: it cannot modify files with weird ntfs permission [14:30] dch26: i don't have an extensions section either [14:31] SamanthaGothica: we went thorugh a lot of optiosn with your earlier [14:31] ActionParsnip: are you saying it doesn't have a hostname? [14:31] SamanthaGothica: you appear to be asking the same questions [14:31] no it wasn't me [14:31] laeg: it has to have a hostname [14:31] i just got on its 9:31 here in ny [14:31] SamanthaGothica yes it was [14:31] SamanthaGothica you where logged in as samanthagothlove [14:32] ActionParsnip: 87.192.92.168 [14:32] yea i was [14:32] but that was yesterday [14:32] SamanthaGothica: no that was earlier today [14:32] huh [14:32] SamanthaGothica: time zones - it was a few hours ago [14:33] baby in in buffalo new york [14:33] SamanthaGothica: anyway - we gave you a lot of answers to your solution earlier [14:33] few i've had a good nights sleep [14:33] n/m [14:33] SamanthaGothica: you appear to be asking exactly the same questions again [14:33] thanks bye [14:33] ktne: have looked at the x log and i get messages about: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so: undefined symbol: _nv001464gl [14:33] laeg: hmm, gimme a sec [14:33] can i ask the exaxtly same question again ;) ? [14:33] ktne: which is what made me try to remove 'older files' - but still no joy [14:34] ActionParsnip: kk no worries thanks [14:35] dch26: that looks like some dangling old library, you should use apt-get remove to remove old unneeded packages [14:35] laeg: http://www.webyield.net/cgi-bin/ipwhois.cgi?addr=87.192.92.168 [14:35] ktne: apt-get remove on what tho? [14:35] dch26: also maybe your kernel module has no been properly compiled and installed during driver installation [14:35] laeg: its in ireland [14:35] dch26: on the old nvidia packages you might have installed [14:35] ActionParsnip: yes, i was just wondering about the isp [14:36] ActionParsnip: is reverse dns something that is turned off from the client side? [14:36] ktne: hope not kernel compile stuff....not that experienced on ubuntu yet..... [14:36] anyone here that can help me with flashplayer proplems in firefox ???? [14:36] im not sure, it appears to be the case [14:36] anyone here that can help me with flashplayer proplems in firefox ???? it doesnt play sound and seams to crash every now and then ?? [14:36] dch26: you don't need to compile yourself, the driver installation application tries to do it for you [14:36] dch26: it can fail if you don't have the right stuff installed [14:36] hello all. I would like to know where is the information at ubuntu.com webpage that informs us all about the mirrors to put in sources.list? I find it frustrating that such information has to be burried somewhere deep in that page... [14:37] dch26: like linux kernel headers and a minimal build environment (compiler) [14:37] laeg: Irish Broadband Internet Services Limited. [14:37] how did you check that? [14:37] ktne: ok, when i installed the nvidia drivers, yes u r right, it made me download some libc stuff and compiled it for me using the nvidia tools... [14:37] laeg: http://cqcounter.com/whois/\ [14:37] laeg: http://cqcounter.com/whois/ [14:37] stupid kboard [14:37] can't we do it from terminal? :) [14:37] laeg: id imagine so, not sure [14:38] Ok, samba and this XP box I'm fighting with are going badly... Read some tuts and still getting nowhere. I can mount up the share, can see the files, but can't access the files. [14:38] laeg: whois [14:38] laeg: or, whois domain.name === Neaai is now known as trilobiti [14:38] mount -t cifs //IP.AD.DRE.SS/Data /home/me/share/ -o Everyone,iocharset=utf8 [14:38] hello all. I would like to know where is the information at ubuntu.com webpage that informs us all about the mirrors to put in sources.list? I find it frustrating that such information has to be burried somewhere deep in that page... [14:38] craigbass1976: what is your linux username [14:38] craig [14:39] craigbass1976: what is your XP username [14:39] ktne: thx 4 your time...have to dash...will try harder on nvidia 3d stuff and let u know. cheers [14:39] I'm having a problem with TSClient, how do I open up more than one sessions at a time? [14:39] ok [14:39] I'm running this as root though. Cabient Folks is username on xp [14:39] great [14:39] thanks [14:39] craigbass1976: thats the problem [14:39] craigbass1976: root means nothing to XP [14:39] ActionParsnip, IntuitiveNipple: thanks guys [14:39] trilobiti: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors [14:39] sometime while my computer into full screen mode (play game) and back to normal, the screen is back, totally [14:39] how to solve it? [14:39] craigbass1976: you need to mount it as the XP user (the XP machien is doing the authentication) [14:40] ikonia, I'll try this... but I did make Everyone able to change files [14:40] my graphics card 845G [14:40] craigbass1976: it doesn't matter [14:40] on the xp box [14:40] craigbass1976: it's the auth [14:40] zj3t3mju: ctrl+alt=backspace [14:40] bleah... what a PITA [14:40] craigbass1976: so sudo mount -t smbfs -o username="windowsXPusername" //ip/share /moutpoint [14:40] ActionParsnip: no solve [14:40] IntuitiveNipple: thanks I'll check that [14:40] zj3t3mju: ctrl+alt+del [14:41] ActionParsnip: yes, it restart [14:41] i can ctrl+Alt+F1 [14:41] hello [14:41] see [14:41] craigbass1976: you still need to authenticate with the users who have access to the share [14:41] ikonia, Cabinet\ Folks ? [14:41] ugg... having some lockup problems with 2.6.24-19 kernel. is this known problem? [14:41] can turn off gdm, start again but it was black [14:41] if restart it ok [14:41] craigbass1976: you could add unauthenticated users (i think) but its massively unsecure [14:41] gmailfs crashed my gmail account....anyone know a better way to use gmail as a drive? [14:41] zj3t3mju: You could try Alt+SysRq+K to kill all processes on the virtual terminal; That'll usually restart all of Gnome or KDE or whatever display manager is running [14:42] Thorndrake: didnt know you could [14:42] My server is headless but I want to set up the X server and GNOME packages. If I try to install the ubuntu-desktop package, it tries to pull in the whole world of Xorg input and video drivers, none of which will be used. Is there any way to prevent those from being installed? [14:42] Thorndrake: interesting [14:42] I'm having a problem with TSClient, how do I open up more than one sessions at a time? [14:42] IntuitiveNipple: I'd wish the ubuntu people had that information more accessible and easier to be found though. If any of the ubuntu developers is reading this, the better is. [14:42] Thorndrake. What purpose do you need this for there may be an alternative [14:42] allquixotic: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, you could copy the package names that make it up and then carve out the fluff [14:43] I need it for backup of students assignments [14:43] allquixotic: then apt-get install the packages [14:43] ActionParsnip: argh, exactly what I was hoping wouldn't be the case, okay thanks [14:43] it's a studentassistent gmail account. [14:43] allquixotic: you can remove them once you are setup [14:43] trilobiti: It is also on http://packages.ubuntu.com when selecting a package .deb for download, when choosing the mirror [14:43] thorndrake. are you opposed to paying a small amount for online backup [14:43] How do I tell which generation of MacBook I have? My sound isn't working and I'm not sure which Wiki to read. === nightdragon is now known as NightDragon [14:44] Hi [14:44] My GUI apps are unable to be launched [14:44] coleosis: just use lspci and it will tell you what soundcard you have === doc_p is now known as pitchshifter [14:44] How can I pipe debug statements to file? [14:44] IntuitiveNipple: oh. But i wasn't able to find it when browsing the page though.. got confused :/ [14:44] I am because I would have to pay for it myself even if it's for the university, it's not a very prudent practice to ask for funds here :P [14:44] Oli``: some command > ~/.output.txt [14:45] hey guys [14:45] thorndrake. I used to use gmail for small incremantal backups now use jungledisk and amazon a3. You can use duplicity with a a3 account and just pay for space. Couple of dollars a month for 17Gb [14:45] slight problem. i keep doing df -h and i'm losing 1gb a minute. it keeps going down [14:45] :s [14:45] :S [14:45] IntuitiveNipple: the idea is that the mirrors that the installer has put for me, are slow. And I'd wish to change them directly at the sources.list line. [14:45] morning [14:45] ActionParsnip: that only pipes normal output - not debugging junk [14:45] anyone tried 2.6.27 kernel? [14:45] ActionParsnip: Thank you. [14:45] I was thinking that it was a Firefox issue (launching Firefox and no window opens, yet the process still is listed in ps)... but now, gnome-terminal, nautilus, xchat-gnome... all of them are on ps but neither have a window on the desktop [14:45] mntnpngn everyone running 8.10 [14:45] Oli``: ahh [14:46] The sad part is I've tried to installation method for the ICH8 chipset :( [14:46] thorndrake. You can get a free email account at fastmail.fm they give you webdav access. [14:46] who's successfully upgraded from 7.10 gutsy to 8.04hardy via synaptic? [14:46] ikonia, mount -t smbfs -o username="Cabinet Folks" //192.168.2.151/Data /share/ No love in the mounting dept. [14:46] mntnpngn: yeah... it's in intrepid [14:46] any ideas what is happening and how to fix it? A restart can bring things to normal... for a while [14:46] craigbass1976 what error [14:46] webdav? [14:46] Of course, I'm just entering through the password, but there's no pas on the xp box to begin with [14:46] but i want to fix the problem, not ignore it [14:46] craigbass1976: not sure how samba hangles usernames with spaces in [14:46] ohy... I'm just having serious lockup problems with 2.6.24-19 on hardy [14:46] ikonia, I tried Cabinet\ Folks too [14:46] craigbass1976 what's the actual error [14:47] ikonia, It mounts up fine, but I get a permission error when I try to copy or read a file [14:47] craigbass1976 can you post the pastebin with the permissions again please. [14:47] webdav is a method for accessing remote server folders as if they were a folder on your machine. Built in to ubuntu already. [14:47] ok, great, so fastmail it is? [14:47] lol machine went from 140gb to 0gb, and now it's going back up :S [14:48] ikonia, -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root (which is different than before. I was getting something like -rwxrSxr-x 1 root root) [14:48] Azhi_Dahaka: you got a weird one there, you could use opera to webbrowse til you get it sorted though [14:48] Thorndrake. check the space given away free, gmail has more but fastmail may provide enough. Alternatively google for free webdav online storage you should find some. there are reviews of the best online. [14:49] trilobiti: System > Administration > Software Sources -> "Ubuntu Software" -> "Download From" -> "Other..." and then select the one you want [14:49] craigbass1976 yes, your other permissions where nuts, [14:49] Azhi_Dahaka: or maybe if you compile it it might work [14:49] as i said, it's not a firefox issue [14:49] craigbass1976 that looks quite normal, could you pastebin the ouput of "mount" please. === fReAky_t is now known as freaky_t [14:49] ActionParsnip: I'm not installing ubuntu-desktop, but it keeps trying to "automatically install" all kinds of packages I don't want. I am running a server whose GUI will only be accessed over NX (like VNC); I don't want anything about printers or input devices or displays! Besides, cupsys won't install, it errors out, so I don't want to install it anyway. Can't I force it not to automatically [14:49] install all this crap? [14:49] it's a general one, as xchat, terminal and nautilus have the same behavior [14:49] I really really hate this whole freaking nickname crap [14:50] FORGODSSAKELEAVE [14:50] ActionParsnip: I took the ubuntu-desktop dependencies list, trimmed what I didn't want, but somehow they're still getting pulled in by the other packages. [14:50] FORGODSSAKELEAVE: chose a simple short nick then [14:50] I can't. They're ALL taken [14:50] Azhi_Dahaka: id reset your gnome back to defaults then it might be better [14:50] ikonia, http://rafb.net/p/Vd8svh41.html [14:50] how do you do that? [14:50] baldur_: try flashplayer 10 [14:50] allquixotic: you might have to do them individually then to check what they bring down as well [14:50] Azhi_Dahaka: Is it possible you've got multiple DISPLAY settings and the invisible applications are on another DISPLAY ? [14:51] craigbass1976 that all looks spot on [14:52] well, i installed Ubuntu on monday and have never connected this laptop to an external display... also it starts to happen when Ubuntu wants to...so i doubt it [14:52] also, sound is gone [14:52] ikonia, I know. Dumb, dumb... Would adding a password to the windows account and then including it in my mount command help? Does it matter that this folder I'm after is in App Data (which is hidden by default in XP) ? [14:53] ikonia, what also blows my mind is that there is a printer shared out on that windows box, and I print to it from linux fine. [14:53] craigbass1976 I don't see how, as your authed ok now - and your permissions are world write [14:53] craigbass1976: ahhh wait [14:53] hmmm... i want to do the opposite of what craigbass1976 wants to [14:53] craigbass1976: I see it [14:53] is there a keyboard shortcut to cascade all open windows [14:53] craigbass1976: on the linux box - type "id" for me [14:53] uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) [14:53] craigbass1976: it's not world writeable [14:54] Azhi_Dahaka: No, it's not about physical displays. X can run multiple screens, the current one is reported by doing "echo $DISPLAY" - it would usually be ":0" but it is *possible* (although unlikely) that there are other screen's configured that don't have a physical display surface (e.g. :0.1 or :1) [14:54] craigbass1976: ahhh your connected as "you" but your permissions are root [14:54] General question, when I press the keys ++ then I only get a blank screen no terminal... I'm currently using Hardy. Also if my screen goes blank after a while because of the screen saver I have to press ++ and then ++.... [14:54] Azhi_Dahaka: rename ~/.gnome ~/.gnome2 ~/.gconf ~/.gconfd ~/.metacity [14:54] Azhi_Dahaka, samba server in Ubuntu is wicked easy. It's when windows is the server that things get hairy [14:54] my 8.04 doesnt boot after an upgrade. libc6 probably corrupt or something to do with it when upgraded. [14:54] someone file a bugreport on gnome for me please ... about implementing keyboard shortcut for casading all open windows [14:54] Azhi_Dahaka: rename all those to something else [14:54] craigbass1976: can you make that world writeable to test ? [14:54] using the alternate installer disk, is it possible to install a server installation? === Hairufr is now known as hairulfr [14:54] hello.how to install Firefox 3 on Ubuntu 8.04? [14:54] Linuturk: the server isntall uses the altnerative installer anyweay [14:55] dido: it's already installed [14:55] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: did you upgrade to intrepid? [14:55] ikonia, from the windows box? [14:55] craigbass1976 correct [14:55] ActionParsnip: no. just apt-get update and upgrade a week back [14:55] ikonia, I believe it is already [14:55] craigbass1976 not according to the permissions you posted me [14:55] Linuturk: theres very little difference between the server and desktop except the standard app it install afaik [14:55] ikonia: actually, the default alternate install loads a generic kernel, not a server kernel [14:55] also, sound is gone [14:55] ActionParsnip: since then its dead. i am trying to recover it today. [14:55] Linuturk why do you want a server kernel [14:55] since then [14:56] ikonia: b/c it's a server . . . [14:56] Linuturk: thats not what the server kernel is there for [14:56] Azhi_Dahaka: What did you change that your sound is not working? [14:56] Linuturk: a desktop kernel is more suited to "home" hardware [14:56] Linuturk: and the server installer uses the "alternative" installer, eg: the ncurses based installer [14:56] ikonia: I'm not using "home" hardware . . . I'm using a Dell Poweredge server [14:56] Linuturk ahh, then your spot on [14:56] ikenia.but i have problem google home page do not appear when i am trying to open it [14:57] ikonia: what I'm asking is, can I envoke the server install via the alt disk? [14:57] dido that doesn't mean firefox is not installed [14:57] ActionParsnip: right now i am on through the Live CD [14:57] Linuturk no [14:57] ok [14:57] nothing [14:57] thanks :) [14:57] Linuturk: but you can install the linux-server kernel from an existing install [14:57] I was playing video fine [14:57] then the thing with the windows happened and i just found out that sound is gone [14:57] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: youo could try reinstalling the libc6 thing (or whatever it was) [14:58] ActionParsnip: how? i just cant boot to the OS. [14:58] Azhi_Dahaka: id try getting your apps to appear first, then sound later [14:58] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: what does it say when you try [14:58] Weird thing is that VLC DOES open a Window [14:59] ActionParsnip: it stalls. no output on screen. caps lock key keeps blinking. i have to force power off the laptop. after update it said segment faul. etc. [14:59] Azhi_Dahaka: try sudo apt-get install fluxbox and use that instead [14:59] hmm... gnome-terminal, nautilus, xchat-gnome and firefox use the same widget engine,right? [14:59] Azhi_Dahaka: log out after installing, chang session type [15:00] Azhi_Dahaka: are you using any compiz rubbish? [15:00] ActionParsnip: as I said, i don't want to ignore the problem... I want to fix it [15:00] hi [15:00] No, compiz is gone... messes up with video playback [15:00] Azhi_Dahaka: but with a different WM you can check configs in apps to make sure its all square [15:00] hi in my trashcan i try to empty and the files don't goes out [15:00] anyone can help? [15:00] :) [15:01] as I said, apps were working fine [15:01] suddenly, start behaving like Firefox yesterday [15:01] a restart would bring things back to normal [15:01] !trash | ruif13 [15:01] ruif13: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [15:01] Azhi_Dahaka: Does this happen if you create a new user account and log-in with that? [15:01] !trash | ruif13 === |chiz|_ is now known as |chiz| [15:02] hum [15:02] ActionParsnip: do i need to re-install or I can recover my install? [15:02] ruif13: make sure that folder is empty [15:03] ~/.local/share/Trash [15:03] ? [15:03] that one? [15:03] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: i dunno what to suggest [15:03] ruif13: yeah [15:03] cd ~/.local/share/Trash && sudo rm -rf * [15:03] ok, gonna jump into screen and enter here to test it [15:04] yes [15:04] its clean :) [15:04] ActionParsnip: i can mount the install partition and try restoring the packages or even re-installing while logged in through a livecd? [15:04] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: id install fluxbox to enable you to test apps see if metacity is fault === dm_ is now known as Delvien_ [15:05] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: yeah you can chroot === Azhi_Dahaka_too is now known as Azhi_Dahaka [15:05] ActionParsnip: yes. can you help me do that via chroot method? just re-install the libc6 and try booting again? [15:05] ok, so the plan is create a new user and logout of gnome [15:05] then try again? [15:05] hi [15:05] Azhi_Dahaka: Yes, it's the best way to determine if the problem us profile-related, or system-wide [15:05] AJuOnLiNE|zZz: its worth a go. id also try sudo apt-get -f install [15:06] Azhi_Dahaka: sounds good to me, you can then copy bits of your old profile over [15:06] lol strigi is 121gb in size! [15:06] Azhi_Dahaka: then remove the old user [15:06] ikonia, the windows share (according to XP) is wide open. I cannot access it from another windows box either though. Xp is retarded... [15:06] !info strigi [15:06] Package strigi does not exist in hardy [15:07] craigbass1976 it would appear to be the case, as linux isn't showing it the same [15:07] craigbass1976: make sure the share (not file system) permissions are set correctly [15:07] craigbass1976: do you have a firewall on XP? [15:07] I wonder if I could talk to someone about dual booting and disk partitioning? [15:07] freedoms_stain: ask in the room [15:08] ActionParsnip: ? [15:08] how can i create it from the cli? [15:08] the Gnome app isg getting some unexpected errors [15:08] freedoms_stain. We've probably all done it [15:08] sorry ActionParsnip, IRC ias new to me, where is the room? [15:08] freedoms_stain: you are in it [15:08] freedoms_stain: ask here [15:08] Azhi_Dahaka: sudo adduser [15:08] freedoms_stain everyone is in "the room" and can see you talking [15:09] ok, cool [15:09] that's it? [15:09] it autohandles the groups and other crap? [15:09] Azhi_Dahaka: yep, then make sure they are a member of admin [15:09] Azhi_Dahaka: Yes. That's the Debian extension to the low-level useradd. adduser does all the set-up required [15:09] ikonia, firewall is off [15:10] craigbass1976 didn't think it was on, your connected fine [15:10] craigbass1976: is the xp firewall still around? [15:10] Basically I have two hard drives, both formatted for Windows, If I move all the files to the drive with windows installed can I then freely install ubuntu on the other hard drive or do I have to do some sort of formatting in Windows before that would be possible? [15:10] How can i make them a member of admin, from the cli? [15:10] freedoms_stain: correct, just move the data over and unpartition the drive leaving it unallocated [15:11] <_Zeus_> freedoms_stain: you will need to format the drive when you install ubuntu... [15:11] Azhi_Dahaka: To add to the adm group: sudo adduser adm [15:11] freedom_stain. when the one drive is clear install ubuntu and it will format and set up dual boot. Be sure to format the correct drive though. [15:11] freedoms_stain: ubuntu will offer to use it and install, it will also see the NTFS partition and add it to fstab as well as see its bootable and add the dual boot shizz for you [15:11] The drive in question has no partitions, so just format it in ubuntu? nothing to do on the windows side? [15:11] OK, restating what I said earlier: I have a headless server that I want to have a desktop environment for NX access. I am trying to install these packages together, but when I do, *something* is pulling in desktop-base, the -generic kernel and xorg input and display drivers. http://rafb.net/p/0JFbyG50.html What's bringing them in? [15:11] hi [15:12] how can i check the groups that an user belongs to? [15:12] freedoms_stain: the formatting is automatically done as part of the install [15:12] Azhi_Dahaka: groups [15:12] freedoms_stain. I would suggest partitioning a home, swap and / partition to make upgrades easier in future. === dm_ is now known as Delvien [15:12] freedoms_stain: just have no partitions defined on the drive and its good to go [15:12] Hi all. I'm having issues w/ nautilus and my dual monitor setup. My left monitor is smaller than my right, and is aligned to the bottom. The problem is when new icons appear on the desktop, they appear at the top-left of the entire virtual space and are, as a result, impossible to see. Any ideas on this? [15:13] Thanks guys, One more thing, will I have to change the boot priorities in the BIOS to the Ubuntu drive to ensure I'm given the dual boot options by GRUB? [15:13] freedom_stain. home is where all you documents and settings reside / is for the OS. [15:13] freedoms_stain: grub will be managed for you and yo will be offered which system to boot from rub (grub can boot xp) [15:13] freedom_stains. Not a bad idea as the mbr on the windows drive will be retained. [15:14] crappy strigi [15:15] ok guys, thanks a million, I've been trying out ubuntu live CD and despite the unfamiliar terminal stuff I love it, am infact using it now, I should have a full Ubuntu install on my box by this evening :) [15:15] freedom_stains. you will need a windows disk to restore the mbr on the windows drive if you install grub on it and decide to change. I always dual booted from bios because of this. [15:15] Can somebody help me or point me to a guide to install nvidia drivers for a 8200m card?

I created a user account on two other xp boxes (same username as owner of app data folder I'm trying to share on xp server box) and get permission denied error when trying to copy a file. I guess I should get in the #xp room and see what they say [15:45] sqawarlz: As I said earlier: dig @dns.ip [15:46] seems like /dev/pts/0 belongs to a different user [15:46] jeruvy, on windows I would ipconfig /flushdns, how would I flush my dns cache on linux? [15:46] craigbass1976 still here, give me two minutes and I'll chat to you [15:46] ActionParsnip, most names are easy to type and good IRC client will color messages specified for you so the long big salient name is uneeeded [15:46] slayton: i think its funny [15:46] haha [15:46] but im off to eat no so blah [15:46] Someone please tell me there is still a way for my to put music on my ipod :( [15:46] i can't believe that chown the terminal worked! [15:47] it only serves to grab other's attention... I think its funny too but its kinda rude [15:47] coleosis, what kind of ipod? [15:47] ok... so, Back on gnome with the sound issue [15:47] sqawarlz: ifconfig flush dns [15:47] coleosis, have you tried rebiuld_db.py? [15:47] btw all yous guys should read matthew 10:13 in the bible [15:47] IntuitiveNipple: can you give me once again the link_ [15:47] ? [15:47] slayton: Touch [15:47] IntuitiveNipple, when I try "dig hostname @dns.ip" it returns no such file or directoy. [15:47] coleosis: I think newer ipods might be troublesome.. try !ipod [15:47] Thank you [15:47] !ipod [15:47] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [15:48] coleosis, have you tried the rebuild_db.py script? [15:48] craigbass1976: ok, chat to me [15:48] slayton: not yet [15:48] jeruvy, ifconfig flush dns dns: Unknown host ifconfig: `--help' gives usage information. [15:49] has anyone else mysteriously lost the ability to open files w/ gedit as sudo from the terminal? [15:49] sqawarlz: thats not a valid option [15:49] anyone have links to current desktop market statistics? [15:49] sqawarlz: thats windows stuff [15:49] sqawarlz: man ifconfig [15:49] According to this, I am going to need to jailbreak it :( [15:49] my google fu is no good right now, apparently [15:49] its on source forge. I know it works for the shuffle and I'm guessing the ipod database is the same from model to model so you should give it a try. It lets you manage your music with Nautilus and then you run the script and the database is contsructed for you [15:50] hoonteke, no but i got a good list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_statistical_packages ;) [15:50] coleosis, you probably will [15:50] slayton: thanks for the tip =] [15:50] erSULA here is my pastebin [15:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/56013/ [15:50] anyone have a link that discusses syncing a Nokia 6708 with Ubuntu? [15:50] jeruvy, man ifconfig to do what? [15:50] Hi can anyone help me with my flash player in fire fox ??? It has a tendency to crash and it doesnt play sound === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix-da-catz [15:50] hoonteke, spss and minitab are pretty cool to [15:50] sqawarlz: Here's an example: dig +short cnn.com @10.254.251.1 [15:50] in my bios it shows up at 2 cpu's [15:50] baldur_, which distro? [15:51] hi how to reset the gnome settings? [15:51] sqawarlz: replace @10.254.251.1 with your network's DNS server IP [15:51] mlLK: hehe, I mispoke myself: I mean marketshare of ubuntu desktop, as compared to windows, osx, etc. [15:51] baldur_, which version of firefox and which version of flash aswell [15:51] Anybody know how to get Intel HD Audio working under Hardy? [15:51] IntuitiveNipple: can you give me once again the link for the audio configuration? [15:51] hoonteke, marketshare? [15:51] hoonteke, like proprietary? [15:52] Azhi_Dahaka: I used this guide to get perfect pulseaudio configuration: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [15:52] cinimod25: What does this report? uname -a [15:52] thx, IntuitiveNipple [15:52] cinimod25: That pastebin output shows only one CPU found [15:52] TheGame: ubuntu8.04 lts -- and flash player 10 and firefox 3 [15:52] cinimod25: But, it misses the initial messages that report the kernel version [15:52] hoonteke, like you wanna pay money for something that is free? [15:52] mlLK: no, like how much of the desktop operating system market does ubuntu have? like how many people use it [15:53] IntuitiveNipple when I run dig +short HOSTNAME @IPREMOVED it gave me no reply. When I ran the same thing without the +short it gave me output but it didn't list an IP. [15:53] !offtopic [15:53] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [15:53] baldur_, by any chance does firefox crash if you close the last tab playing flash? [15:53] hoonteke, oh hands down #1 , see distrowatch.org [15:53] !flash [15:53] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [15:53] sqawarlz: That means there's a problem with the DNS server, and/or a firewall [15:53] mlLK: hehe, no again, I mean in the whole world, not just the linux distro world. [15:53] !gnash [15:53] An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [15:53] hoonteke, ohhhh [15:53] mlLK: I think I just found a link: http://digg.com/linux_unix/GNU_Linux_Desktop_Market_Share_is_4_Gartner [15:53] hoonteke: mlLK can we take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please [15:54] hola [15:54] TheGame: No it seams to crash when there is alot going on... but alot of the time it just gives me white screen on what i'm doing and then on that all it doesnt play sound [15:54] I'm following a guide posted at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual - my xorg.conf file does not have a section for "Module", would I need to add it or is something terribly wrong? [15:54] IntuitiveNipple so what does that mean? [15:54] TheGame: and it lags :P [15:54] ikonia: uh, this is sorta on topic, talking about ubuntu marketshare. but no matter, I've found for what I was looking. [15:54] Has anyone been successful with USB2.0 drives in hardy?? I'm getting https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux/+bug/88746 [15:54] alguien habla español [15:54] hoonteke: - its not on topic at all [15:54] !sp [15:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about sp [15:54] cinimod25: show me what that command reports and we might get somewhere: uname -a [15:55] !es [15:55] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [15:55] IntuitiveNipple, was I wrong for putting the +short in the command? How do I get to the LinuxFirewall? It has to be this machine, I didnt configure the firewall yet, and I have no idea how to. [15:55] ikonia: not gonna start a fight. whatevs. [15:55] baldur_, that's not exactly the same problems I was having, all my flash crashing problems were solved magically when I upgraded my RAM [15:55] !es | cereal [15:55] cereal: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [15:55] thank [15:56] I can see why no one uses aptitude [15:56] baldur_, I suggest trying a different flash lib, there are a few around I believe [15:56] TheGame: hehe well my comp should be abel to handle all this hardware wize [15:57] TheGame: what do you mean by diffirent flash lib ? [15:57] sqawarlz: By default Ubuntu doesn't need much in the way of a firewall. Hardy has ufw but there'll be nothing there causing an issue. [15:57] How do I disable the beep that plays when I press backspace in empty terminal for example ? [15:57] The beep is annoyingly loud and unnecessary [15:57] IntuitiveNipple: hmm, i don't get how that guide helps me find out why my sound is gone :S [15:57] baldur_, I'll pm you [15:57] IntuitiveNipple http://paste.ubuntu.com/56013/ [15:58] sudo modprobe -r pcspkr (as far as i remember) Teisei, you should blacklist the module if you want it permanently gone [15:58] teisei. google hardwarebeep [15:58] ikonia, Im back, still same problem [15:58] Ok, thank you [15:58] hi all [15:58] I will see what I can do lol [15:58] sqawarlz: Using dig, the query is sent directly to port 53 of the DNS server. If there is no response from the server, then its a firewall at the DNS end, if there's a response but it is empty (no value in the ANSWER) then the DNS server isn't handling the domain you're querying. [15:58] ubuntu+1 [15:58] Does any one know how to boot an iso file through grub to install linux [15:58] IntuitiveNipple, there is no firewall between me and my DNS server. My DNS server is configure to allow all computer on this subnet to query it directly. It works on every system mac, linux, and windows except this installation of ubunutu. Normally we use red hat, this the first time installing it at work, so I'm not sure what the problem is but i find it very likely to be this computer. [15:58] Teisei, you can add the module to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [15:59] does anyone have any advice for making an installed copy of ubuntu server boot into a ramdisk? can i mess with the casper package or something else to accomplish this? [15:59] anders__: Isn't there a way to remove the beep itself without removing the pcspkr module ? [15:59] not that i know of Teisei, but there probably is [15:59] IntuitiveNipple I did receive a response, it just didnt include an IP. [15:59] i never need the pcspeaker for anything, so disabling it was a natural choice for me [15:59] i.e. I want to do something similar to what many livecds offer and copy the entire root partition into ramdisk [15:59] sqawarlz: I'd run tcpdump/wireshark and sniff the network, see what is going where etc [15:59] anders__: I thought there was a checkbox for the beep or something [15:59] Teisei: open terminal edit>current profile>General tab> uncheck Terminal Bell [15:59] sqawarlz: If there's a response, then the DNS server is answering and not giving a value [16:00] Does anyone know how to boot an .iso cd image file through grub to install linux [16:00] legend2440: I try that one, thanks :) [16:00] sqawarlz: Are you using a FQDN in the query? [16:00] * abhishek thinks no one knows [16:01] Teisei, open a terminal (if you use the gnome terminal), right click and select edit current profile, then uncheck the "Terminal Bell" option [16:01] IntuitiveNipple, ; <<>> DiG 9.4.2-P1 <<>> HOSTNAME @DNSSERVERIP ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 56727 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;HOSTNAME.

It's currently eating 100mb ram :S [16:02] IntuitiveNipple, I stand corrected using dig FQDN @DNSIP works! [16:02] Fruq: lots of settings in /etc/mysql/my.cnf can help with that [16:02] legend2440: Ok that worked, thanks [16:02] I thought it would fill in the default domain! [16:02] hi, can anyone tell me how to make sure a module and its dependency loads up when i start my pc. its a module for a wireless card [16:02] Anyone have any success getting usb2.0 drives to work on ubuntu? [16:02] ShaneSveller, thanks ill look in to it [16:02] Fruq: http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2006/09/29/what-to-tune-in-mysql-server-after-installation/ [16:03] sqawarlz: aha! yeah, ok, then you will also need to ensure that the Windows DHCP sends out the domain.name in the LEASE, so that Linux adds that to the /etc/resolv.conf file too. It sounds like that may be the issue. [16:03] TheGame: mine "just worked" [16:03] Is there a reason I can't get my ATi card to display my monitors native 1600x1050 resoultion even though the card can handle it? [16:03] Mine too [16:03] TheGame: i have a usb2 external harddrive and a usb2 internal cardreader that plugs into mobo [16:03] IntuitiveNipple, ok but why can't I still ping via FQDN? [16:03] cinimod25: I've seen the pastebin output - but I'm still waiting to see the result of you running: "uname -a" - did I miss it? [16:03] I can select the option, but when I do the entire screen isn't being used. [16:04] Fruq: Some good suggestions here http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=132 [16:04] sqawarlz: That's a good question... I've seen those issues when the FQDN the client specifies is combined with the 'search' domains in /etc/resolv.conf so it ends up trying something like "host.domain.com.domain.com" :) [16:05] sqawarlz: for example, here's the DHCP-supplied values in /etc/resolv.conf for my LAN: [16:05] domain lan.tjworld.net [16:05] search lan.tjworld.net [16:05] nameserver 10.254.251.1 [16:05] IntuitiveNipple: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:05] ShaneSveller, are you using ehci_hcd? I'm getting https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux/+bug/88746 [16:05] USN-651-1: "[...] If a user or automated system were tricked into running a malicious script, an attacker could [...] possibly execute arbitrary code [...]" nice truism [16:06] IntuitiveNipple, did you set your domain and search domain manually or did your dns supply it? I'm using a Windows Domain so it is Windows DNS as well. [16:06] sqawarlz: No, that's from DHCP. When I used to manage Windows DHCP I would add a DHCP record for 'domain' especially [16:08] sqawarlz: It can be configured as SCOPE options, or easier via the Windows wizard, as "parent domain" [16:08] TheGame: i'm afraid I don't remember for the external, but the machine with the cardreader currently has ehci_hcd/ohci_hcd loaded, yes [16:08] IntuitiveNipple, you simply mean you are supply the domain through DHCP? You remember by any chance what scope option it is? I'm just confused because all of our systems are WIndows aside from a handful of mac and linux systems which can query without problem so I don't want to hand out domain.com through DHCP and find out it will cause a problemw ith my systems already in place. [16:08] Thanks ShaneSveller, which kernel ver? [16:09] does anyone know how to change the task font on pypanel? [16:09] IntuitiveNipple, I'm not sure what you mean parent domain, my network is a AD domain, which is the parent domain. [16:09] TheGame: 2.6.24-19-server [16:09] sqawarlz: It's a long time ago (well, couple of years now!) - I don't remember the specifics [16:09] Let's say, for example, I want to use urw gothic bold 12 [16:10] ItuitiveNipple, thanks I understand. I think I have enough to get me moving on this issue. I can problably figure it out. [16:10] I'd uncomment the damned line [16:10] IntuitiveNipple, thanks man. [16:10] sqawarlz: In the DHCP Server, scope setup part of the wizard, there's a 'page' that wants the "parent domain" (the non-host part of the FQDN) [16:10] hi ... does anyone know how i can format an external usb hdd to fat 32 ? i tried formatting an external seagate freeagent go drive and it just wont happen [16:10] how do i stop the add/remove programs....seems to be stuck on installing x chat....but xchat seems to working fine [16:10] vegombrei: use gparted [16:10] IntuitiveNipple, yeah I'm looking for it now, but I believe it should be automatically set to my domain already. [16:10] sqawarlz: This might give you a clue http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/w2k3/services/DHCP_Configure.htm#Scope%20Options. [16:11] vegombrei: I use a combination of mkfs.vfat and fdisk [16:11] sqawarlz: Yes, but this is why I recommend using tcpdump or wireshark - you can check exactly what Windows puts on the wire. [16:11] nevermind.. [16:11] IntuitiveNipple thanks [16:11] ShaneSveller: but have you successfully formatted an extenal usb drive ? [16:12] sqawarlz: On that page, I think "Domain Name (015)" is possibly the one I'm thinking about that I used in the past [16:12] erUSUL: the thing is i need it to work on my mac too [16:12] mac cant write to ntfs [16:12] Hmm... apt-get kicks Synaptic's rear in cpu and memory usage [16:12] vegombrei: use hfs ?? [16:12] vegombrei: yeah [16:13] vegombrei: linux supports it afaik [16:13] Azhi_Dahaka: how he tells me hehehe [16:13] fat32 works fine on osx, I use it daily [16:13] erUSUL: hfs ? [16:13] Did someone try to install pwc on ubuntu hardy? I'm reading this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam but can't find pwc.ko in my source directory [16:13] vegombrei: OSX default fs [16:14] technically the osx default is hfs+ which is slightly different from hfs [16:14] badserii: Check if the module is already installed: modinfo pwc [16:14] like the diff between ext2 and ext3 [16:14] vegombrei: hfs and hfs+ are the apple filesystems [16:14] IntuitiveNipple: thanks [16:14] journaling and some other things [16:15] how to configure Djhon [16:15] vegombrei: but fat32 is a safe choice too and works in windows too [16:16] you see i have 2 computers .... one mac and at home ubuntu ... the external drive works just fine with ubuntu .. thing is since its ntfs i cant write on it when connected to mac .. i read up on forums on the seagate freeagent site .. it seems lot of people have had similar problems but noone in the forum used ubuntu ... thats why i thoght mebbe someone here had successfully formatted an external drive to fat32 or something both mac and ub [16:17] vegombrei: either OS can format the external to FAT32 pretty easily, try gparted on Ubuntu or Disk Utility on OSX [16:17] vegombrei: as i said the easiset way to reformat the drive is to use gparted (System>Admin>Partition Editor) [16:17] vegombrei: just select the disk and then select the partition right click format and then apply changes [16:18] vegombrei: note that the disk must be umounted [16:18] ok then .. i shall try that and come back with the conclusion ... thanks ya guys [16:19] oh ok [16:19] erUSUL: its a usb drive ... if i unmount it will gparted find it ? [16:19] vegombrei: yep if it is plugged [16:20] Hmm, tinkering around with Sound Settingsand i got and error message stating that the device is un use [16:20] though you might have one that powers down after being unmounted [16:20] how can i find which app is using it? [16:21] Azhi_Dahaka: "sudo fuser /dev/snd/*" [16:22] I'm currently using 2.6.24-19-generic, is there anything later than this available? Even if it's still in testing? And how do I get it? [16:23] TheGame: you could also build one from the git repo [16:23] git repo? [16:23] http://www.kernel.org/ current stable is 2.6.27 [16:23] erUSUL: it should be empty? [16:24] TheGame: see also http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html [16:24] . [16:24] TheGame: upgrade to 8.10 that has 2.6.27 === graham is now known as gray-- [16:25] Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 [16:25] @ erUSUL ? [16:25] Azhi_Dahaka: no if someone is using the devices it should list something like this [16:25] Azhi_Dahaka: /dev/snd/controlC0: 6907 7123 \n /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: 6907m \n (that's my tw line output) [16:26] Azhi_Dahaka: basically is pulseaudio (PID 6907) and the gnome mixer (PID 7123) [16:28] ? [16:29] When i install emacs why do i get a emacs gtk and a emacs client for? [16:29] perlsyntax_: this is ubuntu [16:29] hmm... [16:29] perlsyntax_: that's par for the course [16:29] i know it is [16:29] Whats the equivalent of mkinitrd on Xbuntu? [16:29] what you mean par? [16:30] TheGame: mkinitramfs [16:30] TheGame: install initramfs tools [16:30] What you mean bruening? [16:30] Hello, I'm doing a partial upgrade and it's failing during the cleanup stage [16:30] Thanks [16:30] is it safe to ctrl+c it? [16:31] HAllo [16:31] Does anyone know about ubuntu beta? If it will have the same theme as the origonal release? [16:31] yes [16:32] well [16:32] thenetduck: basically the same yes afaics [16:32] it has it [16:32] the beta starts w/ a darker theme [16:32] : / [16:32] more sandstone color === zaggy-nl_ is now known as zaggy-nl [16:33] :( brown theme annoys me [16:33] How can I figure out the default fonts? I want gitk to use the default monospace fonts, but Appearance -> Fonts claims that's called "Monospace", and that doesn't show up in the font-picker for gitk's preferences. [16:33] Then change it? :[ [16:33] SirronTM: install bluebuntu themes and stuff [16:34] Simetrical: default is Deja Vu Mono i think [16:35] hrmm, while ppl are talking :: is it safe to kill the distro upgrade process? [16:35] erUSUL, is there any way I could have reasonably figured this out on my own, or is it something that you have to know either the folklore or the right file to look in? Why doesn't the font-setting page say "Deja Vu Mono" instead of just "Monospace"? === ma101 is now known as ma10 [16:35] Thanks, though. [16:35] sans,sans,sans sans bold + monospace simetrical [16:35] IntuitiveNipple: i tried the guide but still no sound [16:35] hello [16:35] current i faced a problem [16:36] theonguyen: Hi [16:36] Simetrical: no idea ... i think is DejaVu but can not be sure as you said Monospce gives no info ...

[16:36] anyone help me [16:36] Simetrical: i use Terminus for my "monospace" stuff (terminal and in gitk too) [16:37] rafkid try asking in #ubuntu+1 for intrepid help [16:37] however, found out a message from pulseaudio in syslog [16:37] thanks chum [16:37] Device or resource is busy [16:37] how can i free the resource or device? Trying fuser only showed me the same processes that erUSUL mentioned [16:38] how do i increase the size of my lvm root partition? when trying to change it in webmin it keeps saying "Failed to save logical volume : Missing or invalid volume size" [16:38] Azhi_Dahaka: well you should try to make all apps use pulseaudio as sound output (or esd if they do not support pa directly) [16:39] Azhi_Dahaka: that wil allow all of them to use the sound card without conflicts) [16:39] erUSUL: The issue is this: Audio was working fine when suddenly, stopped working [16:40] restart "solves" it, but this is the 3rd time that it happened... I logout and stopped every process with the old user (only kept screen... for obvious reasons :P) [16:41] does anyon know the room name for ubuntu on a powerpc [16:41] hi everyone, i need to run a command a command to load up a driver each time i start up. is /etc/rc.local the correct file to edit and add the command? [16:41] localadmin: #ubuntu-powerpc? [16:41] Azhi_Dahaka: suddenly means i did not did something nor installed nothing new that can explain it stopping working? [16:41] thankyo [16:41] Killeroid: What about System->Preferences->Sessions? [16:41] Anyone ever get vnc via xinetd/XDMCP working? [16:42] Killeroid: to load modules just add its name to /etc/modules [16:42] Does anyone know the isoinfo return code for a dvd+rw that has already been written? I cant find this anywhere. [16:42] Killeroid: like "echo modulename | sudo tee -a /etc/modules" [16:42] hello how can i make ubuntu load a module by default? [16:43] Hello all. How do I configure wireless in Ubuntu Hardy?

[19:16] dekushrub, try using nautilus to navigate the to icon (therefore being sudo) and running the icon from there [19:16] coleosis: Most laptops have got an option for that in the bios.

I know how to build the route table manually, but I was hoping for some guidance on how to set this up with /etc/network/interfaces [20:05] _Zeus_, ah, OK. I'm recalling that menu now. Same thing goes for Windows and the rest of the partitions, I suppose. [20:05] windows file system is easy [20:05] Matt|GS: Yeah, what is your issue?

[21:27] 1 sec, let me check msikma [21:27] This is a fresh boot from the install CD [21:27] deathtech: I know this is probably not the most helpful suggestion, since it seems to be OK with Windows, but have you checked for an updated system BIOS? The reason I ask is this: http://laptoping.com/alienware-area-51-m15x-beta-bios-update.html [21:27] jokkaa: you can find it here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [21:28] I tried setting my xorg.conf to have an "ati" driver, tried manually setting the correct horiz/vert settings [21:28] If I can't boot my machine on newer kernels, would it be safe to upgrade to Intrepid (when that comes out) but use an old Hardy alpha kernel? [21:28] intuitivenipple: yeah i watch all driver updates almost daily. i have the most recent version for my laptop (A09 from Dell) [21:28] Or would stuff break? [21:28] msikma_, is this from the live CD it won't start? [21:28] I'm hoping I can boot it on Intrepid kernels, but I can't boot it on up-to-date Hardy kernels, so . . . [21:28] k i'm on windows xp at the moment, and i'm using Putty to ssh into my server. i can't find anything about using screen, i don't know much about it. anyone able to help me out / point me in the right direction? [21:28] msikma_: Did you try vesa or choosing "safe graphics mode" at boot [21:28] lashi: I believe this is the live CD, yes. I just inserted it and booted, and didn't see anything for a while. I thought it had locked up until I pressed CTRL+ALT+F1 to see tty1, whcih was working fine.\ [21:29] ok [21:29] msikma, when booting the live cd [21:29] Jordan_U: when I tried vesa, it said that the vesa module is not available [21:29] Hi, I messed up something and now I can't see 'Applications' from the Gnome main menu, a folder on my panel which resided in the 'Applications' menu is empty, and I can't edit menus. I'm in Gnome failsafe mode and I still can't edit menus. [21:29] What do I type to find out how many ordinary files, directories, and link files exist in my /usr/bin directory? [21:29] let me just get the livecd going on my Virtualbox - give me one second msikma, so I can give you exact instructions [21:29] ushills, googled it.. kinda easy solve ^^ thx anyway [21:29] mordof: do you know what screen is for? [21:29] lashi: thanks :) [21:29] no worries [21:29] how can I export some functions for global use by the gnome session when it appears that the login process uses /bin/dash and ignores such functionality. I tried ~/.gnomerc and got exported variables to work but not functions [21:30] Simetrical: File a bug report against intrepid, the sooner you file it the more likely the problem will be fixed before intrepid is released, but please discuss intrepid in #ubuntu+1 [21:30] niche, ls /usr/bin | wc -l? [21:30] Does anyone know what I can do to fix my setup? [21:30] guntbert: it's to attatch/detatch a session so that things running don't stop when the session is closed isn't it? [21:30] guntbert: i thought once i closed my putty ssh session, it would shut off anything i was running - but i don't want that [21:31] msikma_, press F6 for other options [21:31] Jordan_U, I don't know if it works in Intrepid, that's the point. I want to know whether, in general, I should upgrade even though it might mean I would have to use an old kernel with a new userspace for some reason. Will that break or not? [21:31] that should drop you to an editable line [21:31] i have a mounted external harddrive but somehow it is not shown when I do "df -h".... how else can I know how much free space there is on that thing? [21:31] msikma_: use the cds option to check disc, its earlier an option at boot up >install ubuntu, check cd for defects [21:31] lashi: when I start the liveCD I actually only get the ability to type "live" or just press enter--maybe I've got the alternative CD? [21:31] venger: What are you trying to accomplish by exporting the functions? Why can't you add them to your .bashrc ? [21:31] maybe you haev msikma [21:31] Simetrical, thanks, I heard I also need a grep command, do you know if that's true? [21:31] and that might be the issue [21:31] hmmm [21:31] If it might break, I should try out the Intrepid kernel before I do the actual distribution upgrade. [21:31] mordof: the main purpose (as I see) is to provide you with several screens, another one is that it keeps sessions "open", did you look at 'man screen'? [21:31] basically, this card shoud work fine [21:32] Jordan_U, to my knowledge bashrc is per terminal session not parent to the enitre gnome-session [21:32] you should get a graphical greeter [21:32] That is strange [21:32] and you should be able to press F6 [21:32] list screenlets [21:32] Simetrical: Test out the intrepid beta, if it doesn't work file a bug report. [21:32] niche, if you actually want to exclude device files and sockets and stuff, then yeah, you need grep or find or something. If you just want to include all files, then what I said will work. [21:32] guntbert: i don't know if screen should be on the client or server.. [21:32] msikma_: what says a uname -r in terminal ? [21:32] No, I did not get a graphical greeter, but I figured that my video card was the issue there too [21:32] and if you do get there, delete from "quiet" all the way tto "--" [21:32] guntbert: i can't install things through putty, so i wasn't sure if i should grab cygwin or something [21:32] Simetrical: You're asking a hypothetical question about a beta release and how it relates to your specific computer specs. This makes it quite difficult to answer. [21:32] basically to avoid the the splash screen from booting up [21:32] 2.6.24-19-powerpc [21:33] mordof: ok, you are in a ssh-session on your server? [21:33] venger: But why do you want the entire gnome-session to have in it's environment functions which will only be usable in bash? [21:33] to DasE1 [21:33] Jordan_U, hmm, I guess if there's a kernel problem I would figure out by booting from a LiveCD. I just hate rebooting, is the problem. :) Thanks, though. [21:33] guntbert: yes, but i've got an app running that i want to leave running when i shut off my client pc [21:33] no msikma_ you should get a graphica greeter regardless [21:33] hey guys what's the command line to 'unmount' a drive? [21:33] although, maybe it's because you're on Powerpc [21:33] guntbert: i don't think that's possible with putty directly connected through ssh only [21:33] eeenico: umount [21:33] msikma_, what other options do yo haev? [21:33] umount? [21:33] I messed something up and now my Gnome menu won't show 'Applications' and I can't edit menus. Help? [21:33] msikma_: powerpc ? neither desktop nor server ? very strange [21:33] thank you === J_- is now known as J-_ [21:33] mordof: you have to start screen before that app [21:34] guntbert: so i need cygwin [21:34] msikma_, are you trying to install hardy on a powerpc? I didn't think you could [21:34] hi, i had compiz fusion well but i unninstall it to install the git version but not serve, nothing... i reinstall the old version and neither works what can it be how can i make git compiz work? [21:34] genii, I was expecting an answer of either "it will work, all userspace binaries are compiled so they'll work with older kernels"; or "it won't work, userspace binaries will use new system calls"; or "dunno, depends". Seems to be the latter, so I'll just be on the safe side. [21:34] mordof: is it an X app? [21:34] why not DCPom ? [21:34] lashi: the normal option doesn't work--it freezes. It tells me a slightly different boot command, so I use it. Which starts the CD and allows me to log into text mode like now. [21:34] guntbert: nope, my server doesn't have X [21:34] msikma_, you have to use dapper [21:34] lashi, powerpc's don't have intel support... [21:35] DCPom: this is the "official unofficial" version I believe. The community port of 8.04 for PPC, yet it's still on Ubuntu's servers [21:35] Which version is dapper? [21:35] msikma_, link? [21:35] DCPom, I know, I used to own an Ibook, but I ran debian on that [21:35] 7.10? [21:35] mordof: so you don't need cygwin. please start a new ssh session on your server [21:35] msikma_ 6.06 i believe [21:35] i had compiz fusion well but i unninstall it to install the git version but not serve, nothing... i reinstall the old version and neither works what can it be how can i make git compiz work? [21:35] gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel ,Aeosynth [21:35] guntbert: ok, got one open atm [21:35] can somebody tell me why postfix is dropping connections on non-loopback interfaces? [21:35] Alright, well [21:35] intuitivenipple: Can you recommend a good Temperature monitor for use in ubuntu for my system (graphics cards included hopefully) [21:35] But one second [21:35] DCPom, her kernel is booting, she's getting tty1 [21:35] I think I should just get the latest official PPC version [21:35] Jordan_U, if they were available to a bash script in any given launcher without any redundant code then i would achieve my objective but it seems here really that dash will prevent this anyway [21:36] mordof: now type 'screen' [21:36] chupy: You'd be better off asking for help in #compiz-fusion than here. [21:36] so, that means that whatever they've got (Hardy I think) is booting [21:36] Hey everyone, I'm on the Ubuntu Live CD at the moment. For some reason, neither the Installer nor GParted can detect my partitions, but Nautilus shows them all correctly and so does fdisk -l. The partitionning tools just show an empty disk. Any clue on how to fix that? [21:36] ok jajajaj thanks [21:36] lashi: yes indeed, it does work. That's how I'm talking to you right now :) [21:36] so, it's not powerpcl issue [21:36] :D [21:36] guntbert: not installed, i should install it on my server? [21:36] exactly, so this isn't an architecture problem [21:36] deathtech:conky and gkrellm might be the apps you're looking for [21:36] msikma_, where did you get the hardy for ppc? i have an ibook that is running OS X.4 now [21:37] kk, brb booting into nix to try it [21:37] DCPom: just a second, I'll walk over to my other computer and see where I downloaded it from [21:37] deathtech: The nvidia-settings one I'd think would be the one to trust. I've been doing some Googling... not found anything specific as yet, but this thread offers some 'hints' when the contributors talk about power-mizer and multiple GPUs: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=109514 [21:37] msikma_, it's weird that this is happening - you've got to try and figure out what cd you've got [21:37] mordof: yes you need it on your server, but I'm surprised, I thought its installed nearly everywhere [21:37] Maybe! [21:37] venger: Launchers do not invoke a shell, they execute commands directly. They would not be able to use a bash function unless you called bash explicitly, in which case a .bashrc would suffice [21:37] youc an type live vga=1 [21:37] that might pass vga=1 as a kernel option... [21:37] DCPom: this is msikma_, and I got the image from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-powerpc.iso === francesco is now known as Guest42845 [21:37] intuitivenipple: i really appreciate your help, im rebooting now into nix and will brb [21:37] guntbert: i installed ubuntu server install, with the bare minimum. only the apps i need and the minimal core of ubuntu is installed [21:38] DCPom: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ [21:38] mordof: ok, so install screen please [21:38] guntbert: installed [21:38] Dada, try booting it with that option, see what happens === felix-da-catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [21:38] This is the live CD for PPC of Ubuntu 8.04 [21:38] No clue on why the Ubuntu Live CD partitionning tools can't see my partitions, anyone? [21:38] lashi: with which option? [21:38] mordof: now type 'screen' [21:38] oh [21:38] Dada_, that's weird, it wasn't there the last time I tried to install [21:38] vga=1 [21:38] Dada_,: live vga=1 [21:38] try that? [21:38] :S [21:38] DCPom: I believe it's not officially sanctioned by Canonical [21:39] msikma_: you run a mac ? [21:39] Yet still hosted on Ubuntu [21:39] DasE1: right now I am [21:39] Dada_, oh i see [21:39] does anyone have any idea bout my international keyboard problem? [21:39] :S [21:39] mordof: ? [21:39] Hmm, well, time to try some things [21:39] guntbert: ok.. done. so, my terminal is now in a new screen session thingy? [21:39] does anybody here use Lubi? (Wubi for Linux) [21:39] al right then, have no experience with the installe, but will dld one to see its options, Dada_ [21:40] I need to see a known working grub.conf/menu.lst [21:40] Gah. As if regular wubi needed to have forks [21:40] /quit [21:40] hey guys ! is there a nice website for noobies that want to learn ubuntu please ? [21:40] mordof: now try the following: 1) start top, 2) type A C 3) A N [21:41] Winol: It's called the documentation. === Linwood is now known as adrian [21:41] Does anyone know how to get the gforce driver to work on unbuntu 8.10? [21:41] Winol, Ubuntu forums - absolute beginers [21:41] I'm using ssh id_rsa keys for passwordless ssh to my two ubuntu servers and two workstations. I created a public private key on one workstation and just copied the public keys to the servers and the same private key to both workstations. is that the best method? Or should I have created a new key for each workstation? [21:41] guntbert: ok, ctrl+a then c takes me to a new window, ctrl+a then n takes me back [21:41] Does anyone know if PCSX works in Ubuntu AMD64 [21:42] I find it so incredibly frustrating that lubi is out there, but nobody seems to have documented how it gets grub to boot the image [21:42] Right, now let's see if this works [21:42] jesselucas: you should use unique keys.... [21:42] guntbert: now.. i'd like to close this ssh session completely while top is running, then get that window back [21:42] mordof: right, now close the session (not D, but just close) [21:42] anyone [21:42] guntbert: k, closed. now open a new one? [21:42] hi [21:42] Looking for help. Trying to partition using GParted or the Installer on the LiveCD, but my partitions are not detected. Anyone [21:43] mordof: yes, start a new one and type 'screen -R' [21:43] does anyone know how to get the gfore driver to work on unbuntu 8.10? [21:43] Cerberus_: How do I add the new workstation to my authorized_keys for my home directory? All workstations and servers use the same username [21:43] Jordan_U, so if i make launcher point to a bash script it will execute .bash upon launch? and i suppose if so i would need it before the if [ -z PS1 ] call perhaps [21:43] VincentBL: what does fdisk -l say ? [21:43] it will not download [21:43] guntbert: :D:D [21:43] s/.bash/.bashrc [21:43] VincentBL: what does sudo fdisk -l say ? [21:43] ? [21:44] DasE1, the're all there. fdisk and nautilus can see the partitions perfectly [21:44] jesselucas: this was helpful to me: http://blogs.translucentcode.org/mick/archives/000230.html [21:44] Title: Shortest passwordless ssh tutorial, ever [21:44] Cerberus_: Thank you! [21:44] hello [21:44] It seems to be not possible to open a ssh-connection from a shell which is already connected via ssh to another computer, am I right ? [21:44]  perlsyntax: the xorg 7.4 is the prob, stay with hardy and see: [21:44] !ibex [21:44] 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 [21:44] venger: Yes [21:44] guntbert: so.. what are the two shortcuts for specifically that you told me to do before? [21:44] it no prob with without 3D [21:44] thanks any ways [21:44] Have som problems with ubuntu, just installed azureus and mercury, and some characters in azureus is like in russian style, and when I start mercury all the characters are like squares [21:44] mordof: within screen you create more sessions with ctrl+a c, close a session with ctrl+d, the last one terminates screen itself [21:45] I used bluetooth-applet to pair my phone and computer. I know it works bacause I grabbed files off of it. Now I want to setup blueproximity but when I scan for devices, it doesn't see my phone. [21:45] VincentBL: and gparted doesnt show them ? choosen wrong device in gparted ? [21:45] my shell -- ssh --> server A -- ssh --> server B [21:45] mordof: ctrl+a N = next, ctrl+a P = previous, but please read 'man screen' or at least 'screen --help' for more details [21:46] hey anders__ [21:46] DasE1: No. Only one hard drive on my laptop and it's the one that shows in GPartedwith the right size but it shows as empty. [21:46] if I imported my secret key from another computer, how can I generate a public key with that? [21:46] anders__, I solved my problem already [21:46] noriyuki, what was the problem? [21:46] Anyone know how I can uninstall the complete xubuntu meta-package (and everything it installed?) [21:46] why does not ubuntu have a central control panel? [21:47] I seem to be having a fight between xfce's gtk engine and ubuntu's [21:47] cpbtklogic: i think the package is called xubuntu-desktop so apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop i think should do it [21:47] cpb: apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop && apt-get autoremove [21:47] anders__, is a little more complicated than just re installing but it is still easy [21:47] Have som problems with ubuntu, just installed azureus and mercury, and some characters in azureus is like in russian style, and when I start mercury all the characters are like squares [21:47] cpbtklogic: : apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop && apt-get autoremove [21:47] VincentBL: you saw the little window in gparted's title-bar that allows you change viewed hd ? [21:47] anders__, you have to modify some things in the bluetooth archive [21:47] then restart [21:47] guntbert: so ctrl a+ C = create, ctrl+a N = next, ctrl+a P = previos, ctrl+d = (delete) or destroy? i'm guessing. i'll make sure to read the man screen shortly ^^ mainly the issue was i didn't know how i was supposed to get it set up, whether client or server needed the program itself [21:47] and VOILA! hehe [21:47] only one package removed [21:47] so, now that that's taken care of, i'll go over the details of it. ty very much [21:48] xubuntu-desktop is a meta package [21:48] matisse: that certainly is possible (generally), what are you trying to do? [21:48] thanks [21:48] mordof: yw :) [21:48] DasE1: As I said, /dev/sda is selected in GParted and that's my only hard drive anyway. [21:48] mordof: all you need is ctrl-a ? [21:48] Once in a while, my wifi on the AAO will stop working and won't connect again to my AP. Restarting doesn't work and messages about not being able to reset the wifi card appear in dmesg. Powering off and powering on again seems to get wifi working again. Anyone else experiencing this? [21:48] cpbtklogic: the line that removes the rest is apt-get autoremove [21:48] * Nanojit running Intrepid with latest kernel and ath5k. [21:48] jrib: not sure what you mean, but if things get changed on me now i'll be confused. [21:49] Have som problems with ubuntu, just installed azureus and mercury, and some characters in azureus is like in russian style, and when I start mercury all the characters are like squares [21:49] no... autoremove is only for orphaned packages. [21:49] it doesn't do anything/. [21:49] :-( [21:49] guntbert: first ssh-connection is to get a another ip to be not refused by server B [21:49] mordof: press 'ctrl-a', then '?' in screen. It will show you most of the shortcuts [21:49] guess I'm screwed. [21:49] VincentBL: you saw the little window in gparted's title-bar that allows you change viewed hd ? [21:49] jrib: ah [21:50] Why are all my characters in mercury looking like squares? [21:50] lungan, try installing msttcorefonts, it may not have the fonts it needs [21:50] DasE1: I just told you I did have it set to the right hd [21:50] VincentBL: if that doesn't do, close gparted, open a terminal [21:50] guntbert: if I trying to do that the shell gets stuck [21:50] Well DasE1: I tried running it with vga=1 and now I seem to get a little more response, but the X server shows only a large glitch. Still, it finds a screen. So at least there's some progress! [21:50] Can an upgrade be performed from 7.10 to 8.04 without having to burn media? === datacrusher is now known as fudido [21:50] so, umm, I installed ubuntu with the network install stuff, and it seems like that didn't install gnome. Just getting the command line, no X or anything. [21:50] DCPom but it worked before [21:50] Docal: well sure === fudido is now known as dtcrshr [21:51] any short commands I can run in order to install that? [21:51] !upgrade > Docal [21:51] Docal, please see my private message [21:51] VincentBL: sudo hdparm -z [21:51] VincentBL: gparted [21:51] Thank you [21:51] Docal sudo apt-get upgrade /d [21:51] matisse: if you open a ssh-session to one server, you practically "sit" at that server, and you can do (nearly) anything you can do directly on the console [21:51] leethal: install the ubuntu-desktop package [21:51] jrib: thanks =) [21:51] lungan, what have you done differently since then? the command to install the font packages is sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts === JewingGum is now known as systat [21:52] lungan, followed by sudo fc-cache -f -v === systat is now known as JewingGum [21:52] Dada_: I can't help you much with macs as I don't use em , but can tell you in approx 10 min about the installer cd [21:52] DasE1: that's okay, I'll do some more figuring out [21:52] ? [21:52] I'm sure it's possible === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL === JewingGum is now known as systat [21:53] VincentBL: any changes now ? [21:53] i just pluged in my s-video to the tv and even though there is a second display detected, there is no putput to the tv... [21:53] DasE1: hdparm -z required a device parameter. I put in sda since it's the hd with the partitions but it says the disk is busy [21:53] guntbert: now it works... well earlier today the 2nd connection hung at "debug1: Entering interactive session." [21:54] and trying know, i dont remember what i did but nothing special i think :S [21:54] matisse: sweet :) [21:54] lungan, you could just try reinstalling if the font packages didn't work [21:54] It worked and thank you so much [21:54] Once in a while, my wifi on the AAO will stop working and won't connect again to my AP. Restarting doesn't work and messages about not being able to reset the wifi card appear in dmesg. Powering off and powering on again seems to get wifi working again. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm running Intrepid with latest kernel and ath5k. [21:54] jrib: it's downloading openoffice and stuff, guess I have to live with that? ; ) [21:54] :) [21:54] lungan, np [21:54] VincentBL: what gives sudo fdisk -l exctly for the /dev/sdXX out ? [21:55] <^Cheeky> can anyone help me with VM in ubuntu i installed xp as a VM , it works fine but when i plug in my usb web cam it doent pop up in windows could some one please help me ? [21:55] leethal: well, it will get you what the regular install has with ubuntu desktop. In retrospect that may not have been what you wanted? [21:55] jrib: it's not like having open office is a problem, so it's ok I guess === systat is now known as JewingGum [21:55] ^Cheeky: It depends what VM hypervisor you're using [21:55] But azureus still have that kind of russian charachters, not all of them are russian, but for example "file" is writen with russian characters [21:56] ^Cheeky: what Virtual machine software are you using?

[23:57] navane: any C++ app that depends on it will also be removed [23:57] navane: which should be quite a sizable portion of all apps on your system. [23:57] rwrw, because you can easily make a mistake and leave /etc/passwd useless - prohibiting you from logging in, etc [23:57] they dont give you a good overview, i have never had issues before, this is the first time ever, and i just started using this new editor too [23:57] hmm [23:57] unop: i see your point [23:57] rwrw:lol, im on irc right now [23:57] Is the network manager in Ubuntu 8.04 capable of doing everything that wpa_supplicant can?

[23:58] ok anyways, i guess i learnt my lesson [23:58] The-Kernel: I think most things goes into /var/log [23:58] i will use the scripts from now on :) [23:58] BlueEagle: true but what file? [23:58] I can't find it [23:58] rwrw: or make a backup :P [23:58] rwrw, if you must ever edit /etc/passwd by hand - use visudo (but i suggest using that only as a last resort) [23:58] :) yea [23:59] rwrw, sorry, that's vipw not visudo [23:59] how do i figure out what daemons are getting started at startup? [23:59] vipw ok, i will lookinto it [23:59] never used it before [23:59] !startup > rwrw [23:59] rwrw, please see my private message [23:59] rwrw: "man usermod" and look at the "See Also:" section at the end for related commands/files [23:59] i am so blazed [23:59] The-Kernel: If it doens't go anywhere else /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/messages are likely suspects [23:59] does running memtest from the grub menu "fix" memory problems or just let's you know about them? [23:59] no not gnome, i mean like startup init scripts
