[00:27] winrid: you can get a system down to like 550-600megs easy that way [00:28] Sorrry :-) [00:28] dulakian: thats what i wanted to do and use ice instead of fluxbox. But i cant get passed grub [00:28] gregbrady, lastfm has a program but only works on that site [00:28] Kulakian:I am using the server edition :) [00:29] gecko_: yep now you need to find the place for your video driver and add a line that says driver "nvidia" === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [00:29] RHorse: no, not that one! It used to work form any shoutcast broadcast. Hmmm. [00:29] the library here closes in 20min [00:29] winrid: I wish I could help but I have never had good luck with usb booting, I usually just get frustrated and dd a copy drive to drive using my workstation [00:29] The directory /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-server has a link thats called Makefile: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2008-10-14 12:11 Makefile -> ../linux-headers-2.6.24-19/Makefile [00:29] kitche: ok, i'll give it a try, never done this before.. [00:30] dulakian: what is a copy drive? [00:30] An out of control driver updater somehow removed massive amounts of sofware. I'm not entirely sure what they were. [00:30] So it looks like its referencing to itself.....Is that ok ? [00:30] dulakian: does that mean that my usb would be exactly like my desktop? [00:30] winrid: where you install into a partition that is the same size as your target then dd it over to the target [00:30] winrid: dd is a direct data copy, byte for byte copy [00:31] dulakian: sweet. So, if i install dsl on an old hdd, and dd it over to my pendrive, it's work? [00:31] winrid: but it probalby won't help you since it's booting usb you are having problems with [00:31] I need to figure out exactly what damage an out of control driver updater did. Is there a way to look a t alog of actions by prgrams? [00:31] winrid: you still have to get grub on the pen drive and configured right [00:31] dulakian, so dd can copy a write protected disk? [00:31] dulakian:Its a grub problem. It never happened before. Plus, this isnt even my pc :) [00:31] like a cd or dvd with those silly copy protections [00:32] Schuenemann: can copy from a write protected disk yes [00:32] I think it removed some pretty important things. [00:32] dulakian: would you like to see my grub? [00:32] hmmm nice [00:32] What should I do? [00:32] winrid: you can show me but like I said I never have good luck with usb [00:32] postersanguitar, you should describe the important things [00:32] kitche: ok, found the nvidia stuff.. and it's marked as driver.. what do i need to do with this? i think i'm a little confused on this part. [00:33] http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=21092 [00:33] thats my grub [00:33] on the usb [00:33] Schunenemann: I don't know I was reactivating a video card driver I accidentally disabled, and suddenly this window popped up saying removing this and that. I only caught two names: compiz and audacity. A bunch more went by before I managed to force quit it. [00:33] kitche:http://paste.ubuntu.com/57649/ [00:34] Schuenemann: could he try installing ubuntu-desktop? [00:34] I'm having an issue with pulse audio in 8.10 dying [00:34] dulakian: could it be the usb drive itself?? its actually supposed to be a mp3 player [00:35] if i pause a song, and the screensaver kicks on, it seems to kill it [00:35] Parabola: ask in #ubuntu+1 please [00:35] Parabola: #ubuntu+1 [00:35] How do you extract a tarball ?

[00:35] bye all [00:35] winrid: there's a command to run from terminal though, whats that [00:35] winrid: did you copy the stage files into /boot on the usb drive and then install grub onto it? [00:35] compiz is eye candy and audacity is for audio editting [00:35] sravan_: the lamp help page has instructions: [00:35] It seems the update maanger noticed my fate [00:35] !lamp > sravan_ [00:35] sravan_, please see my private message [00:36] Sueneman: I like the eye candy [00:36] dulakian: no, just ran the install [00:36] How do I use the broken filter? [00:36] postersanguitar, then reinstall it :-) [00:36] winrid: grub has these stage files it uses to boot into the OS, I think those are missing [00:36] I can ask in a different way: How do I install fcpci on Ubuntu ? [00:36] hi. question. i get network drive is no longer available error , but only when copying large files with drive that i shared with samba [00:36] Schuenemann: What I'm worried about are the things I didn't get the names of [00:36] no, they are there [00:36] winrid: so it gets grub up, but doesn't have the files it needs to go further [00:37] I need a way to find out what. Is there a way to look at a log of software changes [00:37] dulakian: correct, but stage 1 and 2 are there. so are some othere [00:37] winrid when the grub prompt comes up can you hit 'e' to edit it?

[00:38] see you again sometime. bye [00:38] thank god. [00:38] sravan_ if you must use MSSQL you will need to VM it [00:38] sravan_: There are other SQL packages that you can install though.

[01:05] Hardy, [01:05] I'mma wait a while before switching to intrepid [01:05] Bad luck with being on the cutting edge [01:06] isillion: did you install envyng-gtk too? [01:06] GodfatherofEir1: stick with 2.4 then. Intrepid will be released 30/10, then you can safely update your entire installation and get OOo 3 [01:06] Is intrepid the new Ubuntu? [01:06] airdogg: dude i couldn't find anything out! [01:06] !intrepid > mannytu [01:06] mannytu, please see my private message [01:06] hello friends, my box has an Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 Processor with 64Bit performance but works with x86 chipset, my question is, does my box work faster with an amd64 architecture OS? [01:06] can anyone help me? my external drive in ubuntu is very slow. what's the deal? [01:07] creeed: yes, in most circumstances [01:07] Alright Soundray, I'll try gettin bein on the cuttin edge again [01:07] creeed: for most uses, no. If you do numbercrunching, video encoding, then yes [01:07] Question though, downgradable w/o partition? [01:07] GodfatherofEir1: backup so you can "downgrade" [01:07] creeed: for virtual machines, emulation, scientific calculation, and other purposes, 64 is the way to go [01:07] Alright [01:07] Parabola, i have pasted the error, http://paste.ubuntu.com/57651/ any ideas? [01:08] Help! Having trouble connecting to my Ubuntu 7.10 server from XWin via cygwin. It worked last week, then stopped following an upgrade. Any ideas on where to look for the problem? [01:08] Luckily I got another Ubuntu box I can use [01:08] Well, thanks for the help [01:08] Need help getting my ATi card to work on my HP laptop. I have already installed the restricted driver. [01:08] garutachi: use EnvyNG [01:09] garutachi: EnvyNG usues much more recent drivers, and does most the work for you [01:09] EnvyNG ? what exactly is that? [01:09] garutachi: EnvyNG is an app written in Python that dls and installs the LATEST drivers [01:09] the restricted ones are quite old [01:10] ok. so. i'm working on a system that's returning Error Code 0F00:0244 "Uncorrectable data error or media is write protected." using the dell provided utility. it's a dual boot xp and ubuntu machine. i deleted the linux partition and that's just unpartitioned space at the moment. is there any way this is *not* a mechanical issue? [01:10] I think this ati mobility is an older card. Not 9xxx series, is that a prob? [01:10] garutachi: sudo apt-get install envyng-core envyng-gtk [01:10] lspci shows it as RS200M [01:10] hello someone know hot to install flashplayer i already download the program and extract but when i go to TERMINAL and go to the directory and execute it is say no such file or directory [01:11] not sure, nvidia user... srry [01:11] garutachi: What is the output of 'lspci|grep VGA' exactly? [01:11] thanks I'll try the envy and see what happens [01:11] wilder: just go to http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com and click on the yellow bar. Or install the flashplugin-nonfree package. Nothing to download manually. [01:11] garutachi: Don't use envy [01:11] hold on I'll try [01:11] k [01:12] garutachi: What is the output of 'lspci|grep VGA' exactly? [01:12] soreau: ? === me is now known as Guest90567 === Guest90567 is now known as suffer_well [01:12] ink1: Why are you recommending envyng? [01:12] here is the output [01:12] 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M [01:13] hey my external drive runs really slow in ubuntu but is fast in vista === suffer_well is now known as im_not_gay_ok [01:13] garutachi: And how did you install your drivers already? [01:13] I really want it to fun fast [01:13] soreau! [01:13] soreau: many problems are caused by old drivers [01:13] ink1: Many? Like what? [01:13] Parabola, man it didnt worked, at the login screen it says that it cant find the video board, and it is working in low res. ... fuc*!!!1 [01:13] huh? I tried installing the restricted ati one on package manager [01:14] can anyone tell me about linux viruses or malware? [01:14] garutachi: And you rebooted? [01:14] yes [01:14] Soreau: can you help me? [01:14] wilder: If you're going to manually install, you might as well use flash 10. [01:14] garutachi: Ok, what does Sys>Admin>Hardware Drivers say? [01:14] millertime_018: No, sorry [01:14] millertime_018: I don't know what can be causing that problem [01:14] at the login screen it says that it cant find the video board, and it is working in low res ???what should i do??? [01:15] the_dude: Which graphics card? [01:15] ati-driver installer.run : what is to be done that xorg loads the driver instead of claiming on the old vesa ? [01:15] soreau, nvidia mx440 [01:15] ok thanks [01:15] does anyone know a good video podcast organizer? (auto download, keeps tracks of what I haven't seen, auto delete) [01:15] soreau, at this morning man everything was alright [01:15] it just list my wireless card driver [01:16] garutachi: So you have linux-restricted-modules installed? [01:16] yes [01:16] the_dude: Did you update your kernel? === im_not_gay_ok is now known as Panzerfaust [01:16] garutachi: Hmm.. maybe you will need to use envyng, but I don't like that option [01:17] soreau, no. [01:17] Craighghney [01:17] well what is a better way ? [01:17] the_dude: How did you install your drivers in the first place? === Panzerfaust is now known as Craighghney [01:17] has anyone had experiences with any linux virus or malware AT ALL? i download torrents heavily [01:17] is there a way/tool to sync files between a windows folder on 1 computer and a folder on my ubuntu box? ie: i want to sync my documents on windows and my users home folder whenever their are changes made and the 2 machines are connected. [01:17] garutachi: What package did you install exactly when you said you installed your drivers? [01:17] !virus | Craighghney [01:17] Craighghney: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [01:17] can someone please help me? [01:17] soreau, didnt installed man, it was just workin man... [01:17] I have a couple of ubuntu boxes here - when i run 'host domain.com' on one, it lists MX servers as well as the ip address for the A record matching domain.com... on the other, MX servers are not listed - looks like 2 different versions of host or something. Is there a way I can standardise the behaviour? [01:18] ubottu: external drive in ubuntu is slow [01:18] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:18] i didnt ask if antivirus software was available [01:18] crap I don't remember he name.... something that said ATi in the description [01:18] anyone know how I can get a file off a machine I can ssh into but don't have smb access to? [01:19] the_dude: Well, something is wrong with your driver install. /var/log/Xorg.0.log should tell you what is going wrong. You might just need to reinstall your nvidia drivers [01:19] Craighghney: but you did ask for an explanation of viruses and malware in the wild, which is for all practical purposes, non-existent for Linux [01:19] Mecha25: FTP? [01:19] Baryon: only access I have is ssh, heard of something called sshfs, used it to get files to/from my iphone, can I do so with a computer too? [01:19] I'll see if I can find it again hold on [01:19] not according to this article: http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/does-ubuntu-linux-really-need-antivirus-software/ [01:19] !virus [01:19] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [01:20] garutachi: The alternative is to download the ati driver installer for your card from ati.com and install manually following this guide: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Manual_Method_.28installing_Catalyst_8.8_or_8.9.29 [01:20] has anyone had experiences with any linux virus or malware AT ALL? i download torrents heavily [01:20] Craighghney: I can guarantee you no [01:20] is there a way to get a control panel on my desktop to control Amarok? play/pause, stop, forward/back, etc, all on a desktop panel? [01:20] soreau, just installed the nvidia driver wait a sec ill restart the pc [01:21] Craighghney, I have never gotten *anything* in two years. But I use a wireless router. [01:21] garutachi: maybe someone asked you this already...are you running 8.04 or 8.10? [01:21] CorbinFox: yes, there's a pannel applet you can get from Synaptic [01:21] Mecha25: I don't know that package. Do you know ftp? [01:21] Craighghney: with linux, you don't get malware by downloadng torrents but by installing an old phpbb version, or running an old bind, sendmail or openssh daemon [01:21] what difference does a wireless router make, may i ask [01:21] Craighghney: that article just says you may pass on windows viruses to windows users if you don't scan files. Anyway, most webmail scans attachements anyway [01:22] Baryon: sorta, can I setup FTP on a remote box through terminal without root access? [01:22] Mecha25: would you know the name? or would it be posted somewhere i can look for it myself [01:22] Craighgney: Take Mecha25 up on his guarantee. But get it in writing :^) [01:22] it says over 500 viruses exist for linux [01:22] CorbinFox: search for Music Panel [01:22] theclaw [01:22] oh he left [01:22] if the_dude comes back, he needs to install proper video drivers [01:22] Craighghney: yeah, proof of concepts, none of which actually work/have been released [01:22] hes using VESA or somthin [01:22] really stupid question to most im sure, but i really dont know.... need to add my reseloution somewhere in here http://paste.ubuntu.com/57655/ not only do i not know where, but how to either... [01:23] Craighghney: there's several million (in comparison) in the wild for Windows [01:23] Craighghney: and that is really the main reason for AV in Linux, is to safeguard your Windows users. Otherwise, it's just like anything else, the same good security habits that apply to Windows apply to any computer system. [01:23] Mecha25: am i right in thinking a virus is the same as an application, only with malicious intent? [01:23] The package I installed was fglrx-control [01:23] KenBW2: virus implies it spreads [01:23] how about for malware? [01:23] Craighghney: most of those probably are not actually viruses, but maybe exploits, or root kits [01:23] KenBW2: there's malicious applications, sure, rm can be malicious if you use it wrong [01:23] Craighghney your best bet is to use an appliance [01:24] Craighghney of setup PFsense, or untangle [01:24] Mecha25: ergo a proof of concept is meaningless [01:24] like a toaster? [01:24] and have it do that for you [01:24] Craighghney: the short answer is: "no" to any spyware/virus/malware concerns [01:24] can someone help me pidgin has just become an unkillable process (even with kill -9) [01:24] Craighghney yes like a toaster. [01:24] garutachi: are you running 8.04 or 8.10? [01:24] netsurf3: reboot? [01:24] 8.04 [01:24] netsurf3: killall pidgin [01:24] Mecha25, i tried killall -9 pidgin [01:24] it wount die [01:24] at all [01:25] you said there were rootkit concerns? [01:25] netsurf3: I've had that happen, log out and back in again [01:25] Craighghney: no [01:25] there are no security concerns whatsoever becides the normal internet concerns? [01:25] Craighghney: the biggest security in ubuntu is that you install software from the repositories. Of course if you go around executing random files you find on the internet you expose yourself [01:26] Craighghney: pretty much, unless you're testing Proof of Concept viruses, which is dumb on any OS [01:26] what about third party repositories? [01:26] Mecha25: it doesnt appear to support amarok, is there something im missing? [01:26] Craighghney: you are *trusting* them [01:26] Craighghney not in a prod enviroment [01:26] Craighghney: if they're infected, they won't stay up, usually [01:26] hi! I've asked in apache but no response: i have many virtual hosts. reverb-marketing.com is pulling up the abcd. subdomain when it should be pulling up www. subdomain. anyone know why? [01:26] you shouldnt [01:26] prod? [01:26] production [01:27] is there any other way to determine if a USB device is recognized besides lsusb? [01:27] CorbinFox: possibly, I don't use amarok, I just know that app exists and supports a few players. I use banshee, and media keys [01:27] if you're using a box in PROD you dont want to have third party repos in there [01:27] what is a production environment? [01:27] hi again. EnvyNG installed the drivers, but troubleshooting continues. display freezes launching whatever 3d application. i got a radeon 9800 pro, just bought today [01:27] when is 8.10 due? [01:27] Craighghney nevermind [01:27] Does anybody know how to erase an ipod without a pc? [01:27] dli: #ubuntu+1 [01:27] warriorforgod you can't [01:27] you can cold boot the device, thats it [01:27] warriorforgod, drop it from 25 feet [01:27] how can i list all usb devices? lsusb? [01:27] haha [01:27] no please explain [01:27] lol [01:27] dli: fifteen days, and counting :) [01:27] lol [01:27] Parabola: reformat it [01:27] ok. thx. [01:27] how can i get this particular ubuntu install to re-take-over grub? I installed Ubuntulite and now when this ubuntu (the real ubuntu) updates kernels I don't get them; and I don't want ubuntulite any more [01:27] Parabola: use gParted [01:27] ubuntu is starting in low graphics mode...can someone help me? === Craighghney is now known as Craighney2 [01:28] !grub > sceo [01:28] sceo, please see my private message [01:28] tdawgedogg: Which graphics card? [01:28] please explain [01:28] soundray: THANK YOU !! - I feel soooo stupid now ;-) - It works like a charm ! - now I just have to config capisuite :-) [01:28] how can i list all usb devices? lsusb? [01:28] now ive fixed the screen problem, but my panel is all object outta order [01:28] soreau: let me look real fast [01:28] its an nvidia for sure === Craighney2 is now known as Craighney [01:29] Craighney: I told you, unless it's a webpage that hacks firefox (of which there are extremely few and OS is irrelevent to) you're safe [01:29] jrib thanks i'll see [01:29] im fixing iut [01:29] Danskmand: glad I could help a bit. Don't feel stupid -- Ubuntu takes a bit of getting used to. [01:29] Thx for hep guys, see ya! [01:29] bobertdos, thanks, I wonder whether I should upgrade now, I think I need better xrandr support from X 7.4 [01:29] is there a way to get to the paritioner within Ubuntu, or do I need to use the cd? [01:29] Craighney watch out dude, you might get ms.blaster [01:29] tdawgedogg: You might try simply reinstalling your drivers [01:29] [01:29] BFG Tech BFGR76256GTOCE GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card [01:29] the_dude: Works now? [01:29] make file error anyone? i have pasted the error, http://paste.ubuntu.com/57651/ any ideas? [01:29] how? [01:29] hi again. EnvyNG installed the drivers, but troubleshooting continues. display freezes launching whatever 3d application. i got a radeon 9800 pro, just bought today [01:29] sam555: yes, but you can't change the partitions while they're in use [01:29] ms.blaster [01:29] soreau: i have envy [01:29] Mecha25: I think I got it [01:30] Craighney yep [01:30] how? [01:30] sam555, gparted should do it [01:30] Mecha25: I'm gonna boot to the cd and use manual to partition the one I need to get to [01:30] soundray: How could I have found out that it was allready installed ? [01:30] isilion 9800 doesnt work well with Linux [01:30] i know, i had one for 4 years [01:30] melwtech35: sudo make install [01:30] tdawgedogg: That sucks. envy could have already caused irreversible damage :/ [01:30] the version of xorg matters [01:30] lol na...ive used it before and everything worked [01:30] half the shit you try to do will freeze [01:30] dli: for furture reference, how do I get to gparted in the gui? [01:30] o.Ô [01:30] dli: I wouldn't recommend it. The Beta IS getting pretty stable, but I'd be apprehensive to try any advanced X footwork with it yet. [01:31] can anyone recommend a good, free multiplayer game for ubuntu? [01:31] there is nothing i can do? [01:31] how do i download nvidia drivers then soreau? [01:31] are they in the respitories [01:31] tdawgedogg: I don't know how envy works, or what it may have already done so I can't say :P [01:31] sam555, check your menu, I just use command: gparted to launch it [01:31] ericjung: Americas Army, OpenArena [01:31] i'm downloading that ati installer now for the manual install..... [01:31] well where do i get nivida drivers [01:31] genii: thanks! [01:32] tdawgedogg: But since your drivers aren't installed correctly, you need to figure out a way to reinstall them [01:32] dli: that's what I thought, mahalo! [01:32] ericjung: np [01:33] jrib - so if I don't need to boot the live CD can I follow some of these directions without? [01:33] does anyone have a suggestion for a chat program aside from pidgin that allows the user to customize the look of the windows and also works with multiple accounts? [01:33] Are there any drawbacks from switching from ext3 to jfs? [01:33] genii, thats what i tried [01:33] sceo: yeah [01:33] garutachi: Make sure to read that entire guide, especially the part about DISABLED_MODULES, since it can be a tad bit confusing [01:33] soreau, yeah man, it works with the graphic card, but i dont know what happened man... [01:33] hello [01:33] corinth, ext3 is the default, jfs doesn't shrink, if you ever want to resize it [01:33] * rocknlnx I have a program I downloaded on my desktop call ddnsd. It is a Linux exe. file. How to I start it using the terminal? [01:34] soreau, very strange [01:34] does /etc/sysctl.conf get loaded on every boot? [01:34] melwtech35: From your paste: "****@****-desktop:~/Desktop/heirloom-sh-050706$ make install" <-- please note lack of sudo there [01:34] the_dude: You probably updated your kernel without realizing it or something [01:34] dli: Thanks. I've heard that jfs is faster, is that true? And, is ext4 stable enough for use yet? [01:34] genii: Keep reading, he used sudo after that [01:34] parabola I forgot to ask is there any need for a firewall [01:34] I followed instructions to get bridged networking going (involves modifications to /etc/sysctl.conf) works fine when I manually reload from CLI, but doesn't work when I reboot [01:34] I need to run manual CLI command every time.... [01:34] soreau: Ah, true [01:34] genii: The problem is in /usr/5bin <- that's obviously wrong [01:34] hi [01:35] I nedd help [01:35] please [01:35] soreau, sorry man but whats kernel, im a noob on linux... [01:35] errr I should say need to run "sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf" every time..... [01:35] can somebody help me?? [01:35] could anyone tell me if there's any need for a firewall in linux? [01:35] simone, depends [01:35] soreau: Looks suspiciously like should be sbin instead of 5bin [01:35] corinth, I guess ext4 is not finished yet. I doubt you can see the speed difference between ext3 and jfs. if you want speed, test reiser4 [01:35] Craighney: There's not a huge need for one with basic surfing. It becomes more important if you're running any sort of server. Even so, it never hurts. [01:35] the_dude: Ha, then why did you tell me you hadn't updated your kernel when I asked lol [01:35] simone: just ask your question [01:35] deoends on what? [01:35] ! kernel [01:35] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [01:35] Craighney: prolly....depends [01:35] ok [01:35] simone, on what your question is [01:36] sorry for my poor english [01:36] dli: What are the cons to reiser4? [01:36] I'm running Ubuntu Hardy [01:36] corinth: it's less stable, less supported....etc [01:36] corinth, reiser himself in jail currently [01:36] do firewalls consume much processing power and memory [01:36] and I have problems with Remote folders [01:36] soreau, because i didnt know hehehehehe, and i didnt update anything recently [01:36] is there any possible way ubuntu could have caused the following error: Error Code 0F00:0244 Uncorrectable error or media is write protected [01:36] ;) [01:36] dli: *currently*, you don't get out of jail for murder too fast [01:36] that's it [01:37] help - my zsnes doenst have any sound [01:37] Rhorse are you still there? [01:37] what does the remote folders not do? [01:37] mmmhhhh [01:37] In general, is Ubuntu upgraded in small increments or is everything upgraded on the day of the release of the new OS? [01:37] I have 2 Pcs [01:37] one running Windows [01:37] !enter | simone [01:37] simone: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:37] and this one running Ubuntu [01:37] simone, sri I don't know about that, mebbe someone else knows [01:37] Craighney: Well, if you get a hardware firewall, no because the hardware handles it. Software will take a certain amount of resources, but nothing too excessive if you do it right. [01:38] Anyone remember how Ubuntu used to have a splash/progress popup after GDM, in gnome, that would indicate as various bits of gnome were started? What's the name of that package, and can I get it for hardy? [01:38] oh my gawdddd....ok [01:38] hmmm this sounds like you have to know what you're doing [01:38] bombshelter13: gnome-splashscreen-manager [01:38] !patience | simone [01:38] simone: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:38] Does anyone know why I need to manually run sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf to have modifications load? [01:38] simone: this is a very busy channel. We need to have rules. Not swearing is one of them, too [01:39] I figure that it should load on reboot automatically [01:39] mroc: nice! thanks. :) [01:39] bombshelter13: just set /apps/gnome-session/options/show_splash_screen to true in gconf-editor [01:39] bombshelter13: no problem. === RandomCake__ is now known as RandomCake [01:39] swearing? I didn't swear....anyway, ok, I'll be patient [01:39] simone :) [01:40] simone: what is the exact nature of your problem [01:40] ! ask | simone [01:40] simone: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [01:40] how can i configure the shell/terminal to auto-paste when i right-click? [01:40] I read the official forum... For what I understood there's a bug in ubuntuhardy with SMB client, related to Nautilus [01:40] ericjung: middle click not good for you? [01:40] soundray: no middle click on this portable keyboard [01:41] soundray: also want to auto-copy when selecting in the terminal [01:41] mt problem is....I use the "pc server with win" to listen to music...I've got tons of files in it... [01:41] ericjung: it does that. Try clicking left and right simultaneously, that usually emulates a middle click [01:41] ericjung: There should be middle click emulation when you press right and left buttons together [01:41] ericjung, gnome-terminal has "Ctl-Shift-C/V" [01:42] That too ;) [01:42] anyone care to tell me how to change my video ram from 32 to 128 ram usage? [01:42] thanks guys ! [01:42] trying to use the manual method to install ATi drivers.

What the hell happened and how can I fix it? [02:30] i have a fresh instalation of ubuntu...when i goto the network window its not showing the wireless option...(ive read all the help guides and they havnt helped at all) using a hp pav labtop [02:30] could i not jsut use vista?

[02:30] blahblahx, I don't know how you messed up, but want to help troubleshooting [02:30] rafal: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta [02:30] Craighney: you need to install priivoxy. check the tor site, it has a walk-through I think [02:30] Nazarah: that takes a minute to recognize your wireless hardware [02:31] Ashkore, no need :( or Ctl-C [02:31] Ashkore: Ctrl-C [02:31] dli: thanks. when i did that, i got /home/fred/.Xauthority [02:31] What's the name of the advanced visual effects compiz config package? [02:31] dli: now what?

[02:31] Shakedown: compizconfig-settings-manager [02:32] dli: that didnt give errors [02:32] tritium: thanks [02:32] blak i will talk to you in a minute i will get onto ubuntu for you.

What the hell happened and how can I fix it? [02:32] hey i just did an apt-get update and upgrade and its saying 4 packages are being kept back; they are all the kernel related packages (linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic) [02:32] gparted has a live cd blak :) [02:32] mowk: sounds good [02:32] question.. if i want to install usplash screen finger print.. whats the proccess like? [02:32] I just turned on compiz in xfce4 and I only have 2 virtual desktops [02:32] how can I get more ? [02:32] hi - I updated my Hardy kernel from 2.6.24-19 to 2.6.24-21 as per the update provided by aptitude this morning. I suspect update-grub wasn't called after this. I had some Nvidia problems - am using Nvidia's driver and tried to update the driver. I manually ran update-grub (which ran fine) and booted into 2.6.24-21, then was able to install the nvidia driver fine. Cannot find any logs telling me whether update-grub was run when the ke [02:32] I ment it is called simple..... , Shakedown [02:32] how do fix this -- i dont want to get into a situation where my machine doesn't boot [02:32] dli: same error [02:32] blak: its also on the ubuntu cd-rom....but they do have a seperate live cd dedicated JUST to gparted... [02:32] leachim_6: you can set the number of desktop in the compiz config panel [02:32] Robb_M: yea that's what i was talking about earlier .. but i think though that he should just use the ubuntu live cd he already made right.. has gparted as well correct? [02:33] sammyF, under what ? [02:33] blak: correct :D [02:33] limcore: what are you talking about? [02:33] * blak nods [02:33] dli: with gedit (on user account) i get: no protocol specified, cannot open display [02:33] how do I change channels? [02:33] d4t4min3r: i think i have seen that and you have instructions included in a txt file inside [02:33] blak: you are going about it the right way, making yet another cd would be overkill. [02:33] rporter: /join # [02:33] rporter: "/join #channel" [02:33] Robb_M: ok, yea, that's what i suggested.. he should be fine :P lets hope [02:33] /join #python does nothing for me [02:33] rporter: are you sure the channel is on this network? [02:34] rporter: freenode? [02:34] Shakedown: that thing you asked, is called also simple-something [02:34] dli: whats next? [02:34] yeah, that's definately a real channel [02:34] ah do I need to change networks? [02:34] rporter: is #python hosted by irc.freenode.net?

What the hell happened and how can I fix it? [02:34] yes, what leachim_6 says is more accurate [02:34] Shakedown: simple-ccsm is its name [02:34] leachim_6: start ccsm [02:34] blahblahx, can you get X with ssh X forwarding? like: ssh root@localhost [02:34] bldfreak: watch the language, please, and keep it family-friendly [02:34] sammyF, k [02:35] Aside from build-essential what was the other package I could use for developing in C++, someone recommended code::build or something? What was it again and how do I install it. [02:35] blahblahx, or: ssh localhost [02:35] leachim_6: should be in the settings, or just type ccsm in a terminal [02:35] dli: localhost being what?

[02:35] Ashkore: what is it you need, exactly? [02:35] thanks for the help [02:35] bldfreak: you may want to run some tests on your hard-drive, obviiously through some bootable media... or you could try again with install if you haven't already... but yea you are right something is really wrong with that... [02:35] why do packages get held back on upgrade [02:35] leachim_6: in the general properties, Desktop size :) [02:36] http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8691 anybody check if this applied to 8.10 kernel? [02:36] ...that doesn't exist in mine [02:36] dli: when i type ssh localhost i get: connection refused [02:36] 8.04 have the same bug [02:36] dli: but im guessing thats not an X thing [02:36] ohh, nevermind [02:36] I misunderstood [02:36] leachim_6: horizontal virtual size is what you need [02:36] well i was wondering for development what was the other thing someone suggested to get === rporter is now known as rporter_ [02:36] Shakedown: dunno, read the description. I use that simple-...

[02:46] blahblahx, sudo xauth -f /var/lib/gdm/ :0.Xauth nlist| xauth -f ~/.Xauthority nmerge - [02:46] Mowk: goto administration and then partion editor [02:46] Mowk: that will be gparted [02:47] mib_mkjis0wo, I am still not sure what the problem is? Does it boot off of the disk in the cdrom? [02:47] yes i have no idea how to use it:O [02:47] ya rhorse [02:47] Mowk: you want to merge the ntfs partition with the blank one, correct? [02:47] sammyF: i'll look into it. windows still exists, i could see it using the recovery console on a windows disk. i was just concerned about running fixmbr if there was a mechanical problem with the disk causing these errors. [02:47] i want to set NVIDIA X server settings [02:47] blahblahx, it doesn't mean I know how you messed up [02:47] hi [02:47] it says unallocated 17.8 gigs [02:48] mroc: i would run fixmbr [02:48] and then my regular one [02:48] mib_mkjis0wo, ok, then what drive is it trying to find a driver for? the hard drive? [02:48] blahblahx, you still have to troubleshort for that [02:48] i dunno rhorse [02:48] how do install files from a .bin (google earth)? [02:48] Mowk: ok what do you want to do with the unallocated 17.8 (free space) [02:48] mroc: yep. I understand that. Thus supergrub. it doesn't install anything. It just bypasses your disks bootloaders and so on [02:48] dli: uh when i did what you asked i got: xauth (argv):1: unknown command ":0.Xauth" [02:48] merge it with my vista partition [02:48] can you partition a usb stick? [02:48] mroc: one of the must-have boot cds ;) [02:48] blak: what's the word on fixmbr if there's a possible mechanical issue with bad blocks on the drive? because there are some rather dire warnings against such things and i don't understand hardware on a low enough level to know what the danger really is [02:48] dli: and then "xauth: (argv):1: unable to read any entries from file "(stdin) [02:49] hi people [02:49] Mowk: right click on the vista partition then you should get some options.. hopefully you see merge or resize? [02:49] mib_mkjis0wo, well, you need to write down exactly what the error message says. Ubuntu is usu. good in provinding info to solve a problem. ( unlike some other os's). [02:49] @PoisonArrow yeah, ive done it in gparted before [02:49] i just d/l google earth it's a .bin file and when i open it it gives me an error [02:49] blahblahx, looks like you typed the command line [02:49] dli: what? [02:49] dli: sorry i dont quite follow you [02:49] blahblahx, you typed it wrong? [02:49] mroc: i personally wouldn't worry about it... but i think supergrub is a good idea and then you don't have to worry at all.. i would do that if you really are wanting to be totally safe [02:49] oh maybe [02:49] Chubbz: ok so it is possible? the livecd or while on ubuntu? also, you think fdisk would work? [02:49] i clicked resize blak... now im confuuzed haha [02:49] do you speak spanish? [02:50] dli: the computer with the problem cant open any programs, so... [02:50] how set the resolution in the NVIDIA X server Settings? [02:50] dli: ill try re-giving it to you [02:50] sammyF: thanks for the help, it's very much appreciated. i'll probably try to find you again if i run into questions (if that's all right). [02:50] Mowk: you should be able to take up all the free space now with that... will it let you make the partition the entire size of the disk now? [02:50] blahblahx, sudo xauth -f /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth nlist| xauth -f ~/.Xauthority nmerge - [02:50] joseph: not in this channel. /join #ubuntu-es for spanish [02:50] Hello! I'm having some trouble adjusting the brightness on my monitor. [02:50] blak: thanks for your input as well. also appreciated [02:50] It doesn't seem to be supported. [02:50] mroc: no problem you are very welcome i hope it helped [02:51] mroc: well . I'm not a regular here ;) I only come whenever I have a uestion/problem .. and then I usually end up helping where I can [02:51] blak i dont even know:O is there a remote assistance tool maybe you could help me with? [02:51] hi [02:51] dli: ahh that worked i got: xauth: creating new authority file myhome [02:51] mroc: but you're welcome :) [02:51] sammyF: ah, i see. i do the same thing. [02:51] dli: that worked [02:51] Mowk: i have a good url for you.... give me a minute i will link you to it, it will really help you visualize this process [02:51] blahblahx, as I said, you still have to troubleshoot how it messed up [02:52] I really appreciate the help blak. thank you very much [02:52] dli: okay, what now? [02:52] dli: thanks though for getting that to work [02:52] mroc: yep. astounding, but the system seems to work. So far I've always received quite usefull help, and I hopefully gave some [02:52] blahblahx, I'm not sure, is this something related to changing hostname? [02:52] Mowk: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/screenshots.php [02:52] dli: i think i messed it up by following an outdated guide [02:52] anyway .. I'm off to play with this awesome gimp release :D [02:53] nighty/noon/evening everybody :) [02:53] Mowk: look at the rezie closer look image down the page a bit [02:53] dli: there was this guide for doing something that actually wasn't a problem [02:53] dli: so i messed up xauth by following it (it was for gutsy) [02:53] Mowk: Make the "new size" = the "maximum size" [02:53] Mowk: then you will apply and this will make it take the entire disk up with that one partition [02:54] blahblahx, oh, you messed up with xauth, then, no worry, try to restart gdm, see whether it works from now on [02:54] dli: but i have to go now [02:54] dli: ok ill restart it and if it doesnt work, see you later :) [02:54] dli: bye [02:54] blak one think im worried is it will tkae over my recovery partion too:O cause my gateway has one [02:55] blak i think the recovery may be a serperate drive though === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:55] no it will not take it over as that will not be called unallocated space [02:56] okay thanks\ [02:56] Mowk: if all you see is the unallocated space and the one partition then that recovery one will not be affected [02:56] Okay Here is my situation. I have Ubuntu Studio 8.04, but I have decided that all these extra programs are really not for me. What do i need to do to "downgrade" to Hardy Heron but keep the theme? are there repositories that i need to delete and if so what ones? [02:57] how to let system auto load a module when reboot [02:57] wartalker: append the module name to /etc/modules [02:57] Mowk: yes I would say it is on a partition that is not being shown or is on another drive... or doesn't really exist, worse case it would show the partition as something or definitely as "unknown disk area" or somethinglike that [02:57] nate_, I think you can just remove applications you don't want, no point to downgrade [02:57] blak it is expanding now and i think it will work. we will see though [02:57] tritium:thanks [02:58] okay thanks :) [02:58] Mowk: awesome, those screenshots on that link i gave you should be helpful as well for seeing all the different screens that can come up... i have to be going, but i think you have it right now! i wish you the best of luck and take care! [02:58] hello [02:58] nate_: you can probably "sudo apt-get remove ubuntustudio-dekstop", and "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [02:58] i have ubuntu installed now and i wanted to add xp now. how do i go about that? [02:58] chubbz im at the install dialog === david is now known as Guest51413 [02:59] desktop, even [02:59] i have ubuntu installed now and i wanted to add xp now. how do i go about that? [02:59] blak i think its done im going to boot up in windows now and its greatly apreciated:) im going to donate to ubuntu for your help thanks [02:59] Guest51413: Do you have a spare partition for XP to be installed to? [02:59] Mowk: you didn't have ubuntu on this machine did you... because if you use maxium size.. you make the ntfs take up the whole disk.. ubuntu will no longer have anywhere to be.. just making sure? [02:59] is it possible to mount ubuntu 8.04 and install it within ubuntu running of the harddisk ? [03:00] Mowk: awesome, they will appreciate it! you are very welcome. [03:00] oOarthurOo, no i dont, i can create it easily though. my question regards installing grub after installation [03:00] Dreamglider: you mean in a fakeroot? [03:00] blak, no i jsut wanted to use the live cd to try it out untill i gain further knowladge and buy a external hardrive to run it off of:) [03:00] i have no idea what a fakeroot is ! [03:00] can anyone explain to me really quick something with this chat... [03:00] Mowk: excellent I hope it works for you, if you need further help i will private message you my e-mail [03:01] blak, thank you, have a good day:) [03:01] slash night:P [03:01] when you answer someone, how do you make the text red? is it just by typing username: message? [03:01] Dreamglider: chroot is worth a look, for you, I think [03:01] jdevel: yes [03:01] * blak slashs night as well [03:02] Dreamglider: you can install multiple instances of linux within your main install [03:02] i mean mount an image of ubuntu 804 and install it while ubuntu 8.04(Messed up) running from the harddisk [03:02] So I've got a machine with an nvidia geforce4 video card that is showing a load screen on both the monitor and the svideo-connected TV but once it gets past that the TV is all garbage. [03:02] is there a quick method for putting their name there other than copy & paste, or simply typing [03:02] Dreamglider: I don't know about that [03:02] Dreamglider: which bit is messed up? [03:02] the screen res [03:02] Guest51413: Ah. Well, not too hard. A grub rescue disc makes it easy enough if you like. Otherwise, I'd just google "reinstall grub ubuntu".

[03:46] (honey/vinegar thing) [03:46] meyos, :) np [03:46] ill look now.

(eg 16 bit or 24 bit) [03:48] thebossut, to get a web server running you need to install a web server and forward ports through your router. then you have your own website. [03:48] hi [03:49] yea i know how to do that [03:49] but woundering if anyone knows a good front end [03:49] thebossut, most people use apache because. you can just apt-get install apache then you are off to the races [03:49] question, is it normal for the terminal to freeze? [03:49] that is easy for her to use [03:49] derrick1123: when doing what? Sometimes it can hang when running long commands... [03:49] thebossut, ah like a CMS.. there are lots of free things lke wordpress and drupal that you could install on the webserver [03:49] thebossut: well, apt-get install apache will get a web server. configuring that is best done with a how-to open. Then log in to your router and forward port 80 to the relevant IP address.

Is the game in the applications menu? Just right click on its particular entry and you'll see something like "create launcher on panel" [03:50] what would wordpress let her do [03:50] derrick1123: can you be more specific as to what you're doing? [03:50] thebossut, if you google around for 'free', 'content management systems', 'linux', 'ubuntu' you are bound to find something [03:50] tj83, i got it! :) thanks for answering [03:50] How do i roll back to a previous kernel? [03:50] thebossut: make a free account on wordpress.com and take a look at what it can do. If you like it, install wordpress for her. If not, ten minutes lost. [03:50] jamesish1: most people use apache2 now [03:51] thebossut, /join #wordpress, #drupal [03:51] cdm10 yeah I wish it were that easy ... its urban terror and there is no installed just extract and play so it never puts it on the menu [03:51] thanks guys big help [03:51] sure thing [03:51] tritium: I actually normally install it in freebsd, where it's the apache22 port. I just didn't know what the name was, sorry :P [03:51] jamesish1: no worries :) [03:51] donavan_: how do you start the game? You can create a launcher that runs a command. [03:53] hi [03:53] Hi!

But its hard without WIFI [03:57] Does anyone have any experience getting the ATI Remote Wonder working in hardy with lirc? [03:58] derrick1123: so use a different editor. Hit alt-f2, and type "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-common" and hit enter. [03:58] it seems to be detecting the reciever wrong [03:58] Then just amke the change it suggests, and save and close. [03:58] ah ok [03:58] thanks [03:58] cdm10: well sort of I really want it on the toolbar but I get the could not launch error when I try to move it ... does the toolbar care where programs come from ... as it do I need to change the command so that it shows the path from ./ all the way up ? [03:58] i g2g lol i really need to update this pc [03:58] thanks for all the help [03:58] i just setup autofs, yet everytime i enter my directory, it wants to run an fsck.ext3. what's going on? [03:59] donavan_: try using an absolute path rather than a relative path [03:59] ok [03:59] anyone else run into issues with cd/dvd burners not identifying blank media installed? [04:00] dft, yep.. happened to me with a HP lightscribe cd/dvd burner.. replaced and all is well. [04:00] I have two ide burners, one dvd on cd and neither will work under hardy [04:00] as burners [04:01] anyone know why i'm being forced to do an fsck on an external disk with autofs? [04:01] eightyeight: autofs mounts filesystems. A filesystem that isn't "clean" needs to be fsck'ed before mounting. Try fsck'ing it manually [04:01] eightyeight: perhaps it needs to be fscked? Run the fsck, and see if it still bothers you about it. [04:01] dft, you might try k3b as the burning software . .. I never really liked brassero [04:02] i need to run some test maybe with cdrecord from the cli [04:02] I'm trying to install, but while booting the install CD, it hangs at "Running local boot scripts" (/etc/rc.local). Is this common? I've used this same CD to install on two other machines without any issues. [04:02] dft, I'm guessing it's detecting non-blank cd's fine? [04:02] losher: cdm10: i've done a 'tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/sdc1' so i don't have to be bothered with it (this drive gets plugged in several times a day) [04:02] pinkey: Hit enter key [04:02] cdm10: I tried this and I am still getting the same error /home/me/Games/ioUrbanTerror.i386 can you see anything wrong ? [04:02] Visitor15, I believe so, I'll dbl check [04:02] genii, is that a joke? [04:02] pinkey: Sadly no [04:03] genii, I've done that many times. [04:03] genii, it just makes the cursor move down one row, but otherwise has no effect. [04:03] losher: cdm10: clean. [04:03] eightyeight: it still has to be clean before it will mount. If you ever dismount it improperly, it will need to be re-fscked [04:03] eightyeight: it might be unclean, which means it needs to be fscked. That means it was uncleanly disconnected while not in journaling mode, usually. [04:03] donavan_, not sure.. but i dont think that is the executable file? [04:03] pinkey: OK. How long is the longest you've waited on it so far? [04:03] eightyeight: you sure about that? It can't hurt to try fscking... [04:04] losher: you're talking to a linux instructor. i don't pull devices from the system without umount [04:04] eightyeight: also, afaik, Ubuntu auto-mounts external drives, and ignores the fsck requirements most of the time. [04:04] genii, it has been about 10 minutes now. CPU is idle, HD and CD are both quiet too. [04:04] cdm10: this is an external drive [04:04] eightyeight: what does fsck -p say about it? [04:04] pinkey: abort the rc.local then with ctrl-c [04:04] TJ83: yeah I made it executable who ever put this game pack together didnt make it easy to understand === Mordocai is now known as Mordocai_HW [04:04] pinkey: Should continue to the next thing [04:04] eightyeight: so why do you need automount, when Ubuntu will do it for you out of the box? [04:04] losher: just ran 'fsck -f /dev/sdc1' to force it [04:04] genii, I've tried that too, and it doesn't respond. [04:05] cdm10: gnome will do it out of the box. i'm not running gnome [04:05] eightyeight: ok. so does it mount ok now? [04:05] OK I got it I didnt have the complete path ... man I feel stupid [04:05] OK. I am trying to get my mobile 'broadband' operating after the upgrade to intrepid and the new Network Manager. I need to find out how to specify the device (/dev/rfcomm0) and how to get it listed in the menu so I can connect to it. Does documentation exist for this new Manager? [04:05] losher: no. still going through the fsck [04:05] losher: on Pass 1 [04:05] eightyeight: ok. standing by [04:05] pinkey: Are all 3 keyboard lights blinking on and off? [04:05] losher: when it finishes, if i still have the problem, i'll keep bugging. :) [04:06] genii, I can get a console login if I Ctrl-Alt-F1 [04:06] eightyeight: is there anything in the automount documentation that would suggest a special option to avoid this? And, does this happen when you run "mount" normally? [04:06] genii, no keys blinking [04:06] cdm10: i couldn't find it in the man page, and running mount normally does not cause this [04:06] how do i open xorg.conf at the terminal [04:06] pinkey: OK good no kernel panic then. What process is at top of list when you issue command: top [04:06] the_dude, do you want to edit it or just look at it? [04:06] Are there any icon packs in ubuntu besides gnome-panel-launcher.svg and if not what it the easiest way to get extra icons? [04:06] izinucs, edit it [04:07] Quick question, on my desktop, I have several icons with bubbles with the name in them, instead of just the name, how do I get it back to just the names [04:07] the_dude, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:07] izinucs, my login screen is outta bounds man [04:07] donavan_: you can change the icon set in System>Preferences>Appearance [04:07] donavan_: and you can download new ones at http://gnome-look.org [04:07] genii, that would be init, but it's using 0% CPU. [04:07] donavan_: you'll usually get a tar.gz file, which you can drag right into the Appearances box to install. [04:07] cdm10: yeah I went there but honestly there directions made no sense to me [04:07] the_dude: vi /path/to/xorg.conf [04:07] genii, it's only at the top due to most memory usage. [04:08] hey [04:08] donavan_: went where? gnome-look? [04:08] jamesish1, im already on it, whats dat? [04:08] the_dude: what's what? [04:08] i wanna put my login screen at 1280 man [04:08] cdm10: yeah [04:08] jamesish1, your going to tell a noob to use vi? you like torture don't you :) [04:08] I learned on vi. Anyone can. [04:08] pinkey: Hmm. Nothing else immediate comes to mind right now to check [04:08] donavan_: it's up to the publisher of the theme to make the file properly installable... can you send me a link to the page of the particular theme you're talking about? [04:09] My first vi session was just as painful as you can imagine. Forty minutes after I started, I managed to close the bugger. [04:09] genii, I guess I'll poke around, but thought this might be something with a stock answer. :( [04:09] IT'S OUR HERITAGE, DAMMIT [04:09] ;) [04:09] OK. I am trying to get my mobile 'broadband' operating after the upgrade to intrepid and the new Network Manager. I need to find out how to specify the device (/dev/rfcomm0) and how to get it listed in the menu so I can connect to it. Does documentation exist for this new Manager? (Oh, and vi is just great!) [04:09] cdm10: well Im not so much looking to change the theme as get extra icons for programs that dont have any [04:09] jamesish1, yea.. but he just wants to get something done.. not get lost learning something else... [04:09] pinkey: I've had it happen before but usually the Enter or ctrl-c would bypass [04:10] I'm having trouble getting k9copy to rip a video at 700MB. any ideas ? [04:10] genii, interestingly, the only thing that /etc/rc.local does is exit with a comment (by default this script does nothing.) [04:10] donavan_: well, if it's just an executable in a folder like the game you were mentioning, it probably won't happen automatically... although you can manually change the icon of a launcher. [04:10] i must be crazy i am using ubuntu with postgresql (uploading 2GB of data to it) ,apache, deluge downloading and firefox with a couple windows on the screen and streaming audio and ram usage hasn't gone over 1GB [04:10] genii, so it's probably actually hung on whatever would be the next step. [04:10] izinucs: where's your sense of adventure? ;) [04:10] my login screen is too big, help plx [04:10] with 3GB to spare [04:10] genii, starting X? [04:10] Visitor15, doesn't look like they'll mount from the cli with standard disk in them [04:10] !resolution | the_dude [04:10] the_dude: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [04:10] pinkey: Maybe the video is going to a different output than what you are seeing [04:11] donavan_: most icon themes at gnome-look.org will be packaged as .tar.gz files. usually, you download and save those. then just drag the .tar.gz file directly into the theme tab on the appearances window. [04:11] pinkey: onboard video or second head of dual-head card, etc [04:11] cdm10: yeah that much I have figured out but what I cant figure out is how to actually get more icons that I have currently none of the icons really fit some of my programs and I want change them with out changing the whole theme [04:11] pinkey: Yes, next thing should be gdm that it loads [04:12] Ok, on my desktop, the icons are using bubbles with the file names inside em, any idea how I shut that off? [04:12] izinucs, thx [04:12] donavan_: afaik, there's no way in the GUI to simply change the icons of some programs. [04:12] donavan_: wait, I take that back... if you right click on the menubar at the top, and go to Edit Menus, you can change the icons for the menu items. [04:12] the_dude, np.. did you install the drivers from the nvidia site or use the restricted driver manager? [04:12] izinucs, at the ubuntu manager [04:13] izinucs, man it was everything alright and then that happened [04:13] the_dude, weird [04:14] izinucs, yes, i thinks its my hardware, its dying man... [04:14] the_dude, mx440 is an old card.. I've got a couple in use myself.. [04:15] the_dude, you might try reseating it.. sometimes that helps.. do it a couple of times.. in .. out.. in ... out.. and see what happens [04:15] genii, thanks. I have been able to run sudo gdm restart, and it asks for resolution and allows me to configure it ... but after that it just goes back to a console and "hangs". Ctrl-alt-delete performs a normal shutdown, killing processes, etc. [04:15] anybody use dosbox? [04:16] izinucs, should i do dat? [04:16] cdm10 & mroc: I think maybe I have explained this wrong... I have an application launcher the one I was talking about earlier I want to change the icon from the spring board thing to something else however I do not have any suitable icons to change it to... now I know that I can change it to something that is in the *.svg file but there is nothing there that looks right so I want a new icon/library/archive of icons that I can choos [04:16] e from without changing my whole theme... this should be doable being that there is a browse button [04:16] Any dvd::rip users around? [04:16] the_dude, if it's been in for a while.. ya never know.. I've done that with different cards that I thought were failing and viola! they worked again.. [04:16] izinucs, how do i do it? [04:16] is anyone using intrepid already (ubuntu 8.10)? WHAT happened with the "hidd" command!!?? I installed bluez-utils already and it keeps saying it is not found and I need to install bluez utils any help??? [04:17] Any idea what settings I might've messed up to have bubbles around the icon names on my system? [04:17] noriyuki, check #ubuntu+1 for intrepid [04:17] noriyuki: see #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid help [04:17] izinucs: you win :P [04:17] StartUp Manager Problem: hello, ubuntu people smarter than me.... i think i got myself in trouble: i changed some stuff around in 'startup manager' and then saved/closed it.... and the "Performing post-configuration tasks" window thing has been doing its thing for about 5 minutes. i didn't start it from a terminal, so i cant say what the terminal output is..... kinda worried about closing it and screwing up my grub. [04:17] donavan_: oh. when you click the spring icon to change it, at the top of that icon selection window there's a browse option. just point it to the image you'd like to use [04:18] mroc: any image ? [04:18] izinucs, how do i do it? [04:18] donavan_: i'm not exactly sure of the restrictions... [04:18] hi :) [04:19] does anybody know if the firefox 3 font issues will be resolved in 8.10? [04:19] !dvd [04:19] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [04:19] dvd95 is also good for dvd backups [04:20] moontiger: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks. [04:20] moontiger: thanks [04:20] So, no one has any idea what I messed up? [04:21] sorry thnx [04:21] :) [04:21] GodfatherofEire: when all else fails, try google? [04:22] Tried that, but all I get from my search is error-bubble related problems [04:22] mroc: Thanks I got it figured out [04:22] I did recently modify the Gnome color chooser settings, and it was fine before that, but I looked over the settings and they're the same as they were before [04:22] cdm10: thanks for your help [04:23] donavan_: no problem, sorry I couldn't get you through everything. [04:23] donavan_: didn't do much...but you're welcome. [04:23] can someone help me? [04:23] genii, weird. I was able to switch to the console, and just startx and it just worked fine. From there I could click install and it's going from there. Strange that it couldn't do that on its own. [04:23] Hiya, never done this, so I thought I'd ask before I break some stuff seriously. Have a ubuntu server in production that is running samba without domain logons. All users are connected as guests. I want to migrate to it being a domain server, but I don't want to break everything immediately... [04:23] I want to turn domain logons on, but before I do, will this kill all the clients, require accounts or any such major impact, or can I just turn it on and the clients will be able to connect as they have as a guest? [04:23] * owh is slowly bringing this network into the 21st century :) [04:24] Where might I locate a process that will allow me to migrate from this essentially peer-to-peer environment into one where the server is a pdc? [04:24] pinkey: Sounds like some issue with gdm setup or installation [04:24] the_dude, well if it is a seperate card in a agp slot then open the case of the computer and locate it. check to see if there is a tab or something at the back end of the card to help release it.. gently pull it straight out [04:24] izinucs, i dont think so man, id like to restart it like you said man, what do you think? [04:25] the_dude, restart it? how do you mean [04:25] izinucs, you said, i could restart the driver or something... [04:26] the_dude, you might be better off installing nvidia-settings.. sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [04:27] izinucs, you mean, disable the actual driver? [04:27] genii, it definitely is a problem with installation! (I'm booting from the live install CD when this happens, trying to install it.) [04:27] the_dude, no.. nvidia-settings gives you better control over the driver allowing you to change resolution and other things. [04:27] pinkey: Try vga mode [04:28] OK. I am trying to get my mobile 'broadband' operating after the upgrade to intrepid and the new Network Manager. I need to find out how to specify the device (/dev/rfcomm0) and how to get it listed in the menu so I can connect to it. Does documentation exist for this new Manager? [04:28] izinucs, so whre can i find that on ubuntu [04:28] ? [04:28] robbak: have you asked in ubuntu+1? because that's for intrepid questions [04:29] the_dude, Applications/accessories/terminal once open type sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings.. after it's installed you'll find it under System/admin/Nvidia x server settings [04:30] izinucs, thanks man, installing [04:31] is there going to be a beta 2 or do only alphas get versioned releases? [04:32] izinucs, man everything is 1280x1024, should i restart the pc now to see the login screen? [04:32] hi all .... anyone having problems after updating the new kernels? [04:32] Dirus: er, "Alpha 2" refers to the second alpha, not Alpha, version 2. There isn't a Beta 2 planned. [04:32] the_dude, ctrl+alt+backspace [04:32] Dirus: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule [04:33] !interpid | dirus [04:33] dirus: 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 [04:34] izinucs, thx man it worked!

[04:43] I heard that ubuntu is good because you don't have to learn vi any more. Is that true? [04:43] jamesish: No :) [04:43] jamesish, only if you want. [04:43] am i right guys? [04:44] amirite? [04:44] the_dude, yep [04:44] orly [04:44] jamesish: Ubuntu is good, but it has nothing to do with vi :) [04:44] scunizi, :) [04:44] vi > * [04:44] can i pause /etc/fstab somewhere? it seems like my bind mounts aren't working because the NFS mounts have not come up yet... === melanie is now known as Guest93508 [04:44] i hope emacs gets assraped by a walrus with 8 dicks [04:44] wow, #ubuntu is raunchy tonight [04:44] !ohmy | Dryanta [04:44] Dryanta: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[04:45] Guest93508: No, but you can change where the network comes up. I'm pretty sure that what you're describing isn't supposed to happen. [04:46] owh, ok... what can i do then? it's not even on wifi. [04:46] I used paa for banshee to get some new features ,but how to tell the different between the version in Ubuntu's normal repository and the new version in paa ? [04:46] Guest93508: The nfs mount you're bringing up isn't something strange like root or var is it? [04:46] tarelerulz, Help/About look at version number [04:46] owh, there's 3. /var/www, /media/500GB and /media/200GB [04:47] tarelerulz: apt-cache policy lists the repos they are in as well [04:47] owh, and then a couple of bind mounts from /var/www to user's desktops. [04:47] genii: rmadison lists the versions in each official repo in each ubuntu release [04:48] Guest93508: I'm looking at a gutsy machine atm, and I'm seeing /etc/init.d/waitnfs.sh [04:48] owh, what is that? [04:48] Guest93508: That seems to indicate that it waits for the mount until the network is up. [04:48] CorbinFox: I have put you on a permanent ignore, public and private. I have found you disturbing, rude and generally not worth talking to. According to the channels you hang on, it strengtens the effect of wanting to put you on ignore because of my lack of interest in you as a person. This message is not meant to be rude to you, just to inform you that i won't see anything of what you type from now on. [04:48] owh, well the nfs mounts are fine, it's the bind mounts that are dependent on the nfs mount that's a problem. [04:49] Guest93508: Ah, lemmie guess, they don't look like nfs mounts because you're mounting something from a mounted tree onto another tree, or am I misunderstanding what you're saying? [04:49] owh, i'm guessing the nfs mount being the problem, i can't really think of another reason why the bind mounts wouldn't be working. [04:50] owh, i don't know what you mean.. [04:50] How do you keep Ubuntu version of the program and the version of the program the makes straight ? Once you get into adding paa and so on. [04:50] But isn't vi necessary for system startup? [04:50] How will I boot my ubuntu if I don't know it? [04:50] Dryanta: from what i can see, he's only in this channel. and you broke channel rules with your language. so...i'd say you were the one in the wrong [04:50] Guest93508: So, your nfs mount mounts a big disk, and the home directories are mounted from the mounted tree? [04:50] jamesish, vi is an editor.. not it's not necessary [04:51] Are you sure? I thought that to do something to the startup, I needed vi? [04:51] maco: Did You Know? After maintaining a vow of silence for almost 7 years, Red Hat Linux founder Marc Ewing now freely admits that he named Red Hat Linux after Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst's trademark red New York Yankees baseball cap. Durst and Ewing met in Ewing's hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina (Durst was raised in Gastonia, NC), where they became fast friends, sharing the same passion for low-level system programming. Durst collaborated wit [04:51] jamesish: That makes no sense. [04:51] since i installed ubuntu, my ubuntu games dont have sound, ive already fixed once, but the sound just turned off automaticly, i have here, zsnes and abe's adveture, ive tried some terminal commands, and hardware test.... === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander [04:52] Seriously? I thought I was told that if I wanted the system to startup without graphics, I needed vi? [04:52] the_dude: aplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav [04:52] jamesish: thats because vi is not a gui editor [04:52] How do I create a directory in my /home directory? [04:52] the_dude: does that work?

[04:52] Dryanta: so I can start up my system without vi being installed? [04:52] I am still a bit fresh on linux commands [04:52] Then why is it in the base system? [04:52] jamesish: well vi is part of the posix standard [04:52] so i dont think so [04:53] jamesish: Because visudo and vipasswd use it as backend [04:53] macd, no man, i my sound is turned on man... [04:53] Sounds like I need it to start up, then. [04:53] jamesish: yeah vi /etc/master passwd [04:53] I mean, doesn't posix tell unix how to be unix? Seems necessary.

[04:57] its important for this to be done [04:57] maco, and abe's has no sound, neither zsnes [04:57] maco: it's done within gnome [04:57] mRCUTEO: Using the grep command. [04:58] jamesish: because you're a troll and the command you just said deletes vi and a whole TON of other very important system binaries [04:58] maco: seriously? [04:58] what is the command to give myself permissions on a directory?

[04:58] Dryanta, or some dirivitive thereof [04:58] maco: how do I do that? [04:58] jamesish: of course you did. how do you think it got installed to begin with? [04:59] maco, now turned up everything [04:59] maco: it wasn't really vi anyway, it was some stupid tiny version. I wanted to replace it with something powerful, like notepad++ [04:59] mRCUTEO: Well, you probably want to use -r to get all the files, or put an asterisk after the folder name. [04:59] i think you mean derivative [04:59] hola amigos [04:59] maco: it was there by default! [04:59] hay alguien que hable español ?

[05:18] dhng: If you remove or rename it a new one should be created [05:19] zoid01: that happend to me once [05:19] Maco: sorry about that, I had a phone call. So you need LPIC-1 before you can test for UCP? [05:19] I think I just did that update as well [05:19] fluffycloud12345: yes. LPIC is a distro-agnostic junior sysadmin-level exam [05:19] Halycon: its iwl3945 so problematic anyway, but for the device to not even be recognized is a little wacky [05:19] fluffycloud12345: er, LPIC-1 is junior sysadmin level [05:20] i just successfully installed ubuntu. the problem is that i am not about to establish a network connection on the desktop directly attached to a router. How can i get network connection on the desktop?? [05:20] fluffycloud12345: -2 is intermediate/senior sysadmin, and 3 is expert in a particular field [05:20] tho it shows up in lspci...

I saw some stuff for it but there is ALSA and a whole bunch of other stuff, currently I am playing music in Rhythmbox and it is coming from my speakers [05:20] i just successfully installed ubuntu. the problem is that i am not able to establish a network connection on the desktop directly attached to a router.

[05:22] wall-e, could you repeat what you said three times earlier please? my xchat is highlighting it for some reason, along with a lot of other things. i've changed my alert list and i would like to test to see whether it worked.

[05:23] no croddy [05:23] wall-e, is it a wireless connection, and did you read the ubuntu docs on it? [05:23] or could someone else repeat it? i'd do it myself, but it won't highlight me [05:24] dcpom my macbook is connected through wireless. the desktop computer is connected to a ethernet cable which is connected to a router.

[05:25] wall-e, it's probably something to do with your system prefs on the macbook [05:25] croddy, it IS spam, it's not related to ubuntu [05:26] it is, because i am running xchat on ubuntu. [05:26] well my network name has a password that comes to it [05:26] but the ubuntu is not on my macbook [05:26] it is on the desktop [05:26] connected to a ethernet [05:26] wall-e, that's not important, do you want to go to a PM? [05:26] yes please [05:27] hello, is it possible to have the new openoffice.org 3.0 on ubuntu? because the one in add/remove is 2.4 [05:27] quick question... anyone here play COD4 on linux? [05:28] Theeb: well, you could wait and see if it shows up in the backports repository, or you could download and install the .deb at openoffice.org [05:28] Hi... how do I match two or more conditions in regex? For example a sentence that contains both the words "linux" and "windows". I checked the manual but I see only an operator to match either one of the strings, but not both [05:28] Theeb: you can install it from the deb files if you download them from openoffice.org, but it's better to wait for them to show up in the repos; last time I did that, I ended up actually breaking a few things on my box. [05:28] x234: does the logical or operator exist in the language you're using? [05:28] ya i will wait, hope it will be there soon :p [05:29] when did the 3.0 come out? [05:29] A couple of days ago [05:30] jamesish, I'm not sure [05:30] x264: what are you writing this in? [05:32] wow, i've never seen the group get so slow. let me savor the moment!

I was reading about regex and didn't see an AND operator, which seemed strange [05:32] when i use aireplay-ng -9 wlan0, system freeze. my wireless driver is iwl3945, help [05:33] x264: I think it's just the normal | that'll do it. Try it out somewhere. [05:33] jamesish: I tried | in a program that tests Regex expressions. It matches either one of the strings, not both [05:34] rhorse [05:34] rhorse i got it installed successfully [05:34] thanks for ur help earlier [05:34] right now im dealing with the network connection, i am not able to establish it rhorse [05:34] Oh, you wanted AND, sorry.

[05:53] Look at the percentages, not the bars... try adjusting antennae as well, but different OS/version has on impact on signal strength [05:53] SeeknDestroy I seem to get a weaker signal and the only change is the os not the hardware.

[06:09] how can i use sysctl to get my cpu temp? [06:09] or controlling which site allowed to be browsed? [06:10] r2s1: depending on how much they are, /etc/hosts [06:11] *how many [06:12] jim_p: is there any way I can incorporate like those dansguardian with simple steps? [06:12] It was a system problem, new windows wouldn't open. Weird. I click the shut down icon on the task bar, no response. [06:12] r2s1: what is dansguardian? [06:13] Then my menus lock up, my task bar locks up, log in / out probably would have resolved it === NetEcho__ is now known as NetEcho [06:14] jim_p: well its like a proxy server to filter content to be viewed or controlling them.. we use this in our gateway in office [06:14] but at home I wish there is for a single pc [06:15] r2s1: cant you configure it for a single pc? [06:18] Hello, I can't get Java to work. Firefox says additional plugins required, but i have gcjwebplugin and gcj installed [06:19] jim_p: I could but.. it take so much resources [06:19] anyone here use ubuntu ultimate? [06:19] !ultimate [06:19] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [06:20] if i were to go install vmware what are the differences between server and workstation? i will be installing on a dual core laptop with 4g ram, and will be putting windows xp on it, am i better off with vmware server 2 or should i go with workstation? i only really need to run skype and my wireless 3g usb modem [06:20] i can't get my files on my nfs share to stop being nobody:nogroup owner ship. /home/user *(rw,sync) [06:20] oh i have hardy install atm [06:21] Hello, I can't get Java to work. Firefox says additional plugins required, but i have gcjwebplugin and gcj installed [06:21] r2s1: i cant find something that has a gui. all i found was moblock [06:22] ive created a usb key with ubuntu and ext3. i then figured i wanted to split it into two partitions, so i used gparted to make 500mb of the usb key to fat32.. problem is that windows cant read that partition.. any ideas? [06:23] jim_p look up ip blocking on ubuntu in google and I will find ipblock or iplist as it is called for Ubuntu . It is an ipblocking program with a great gui on it . Better then moblock to me [06:23] What's the cmd to check if my firewall is on please? [06:24] is there a way to check recently installed packages> [06:24] specifically recently updated? [06:25] Anyone know how to tell if my firewall is on? [06:25] DCPom: sudo cat /var/log/dpkg.log | tail [06:25] 大家好啊 [06:26] Hello, I can't get Java to work. Firefox says additional plugins required, but i have gcjwebplugin and gcj installed [06:26] AllNewToMe: the firewall is on. i cant remember the command that checks [06:26] Lartza_: you need suns java [06:26] 你们都用英语聊天吗？ [06:26] Does anyone else know? [06:26] jim_p: i need java [06:27] Jim_P : Sorry I did not make that clearer . What you need to do is put " ip blocking on Ubuntu" into google's search box and it will come up with iplist which is the name of an ip blocking program . It has great gui and it is easy to use . It is better then mobock with a gui . [06:27] i installed gcj-java-compat and gcjwebplugin(from firefox) and it complains about missing plugins [06:27] Lartza_: install suns java, thats what firefox wants [06:27] !java [06:27] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [06:27] but it should wokr with gcj too! [06:28] Anyone know how to tell if your firewall is on please? [06:28] AllNewToMe: In default i think it's not [06:28] tarelerulz: the program is not for me. and the guy wants to block certain sites [06:28] Thats no help at all, thanks?? [06:28] AllNewToMe: or something like that, ubuntu's firewall is tricky to congfigure [06:29] why do oyu need to know? [06:29] That doesnt help either?? [06:29] why do you need to know? [06:29] because I dont know if the firewall is on or not!? [06:29] zjkuipc: ubuntu-cn [06:30] Does that matter??? [06:30] i dont know if mine is on or not [06:31] jim_p I hope it helps him. I had hard time find ip blocking program that are easy to use . Most the time I would get told about firewalls or something like that . Peer Gardian is good program ,but not for Linux . Moblock is as good and for Linux . Iplist is better then moblock and easy gui to feature out. [06:32] is there a way to revert to an old version of a package? [06:32] DCPom: yes [06:32] tarelerulz: thanks [06:32] :) long answer? [06:33] maybe [06:33] I know the synpatic way not command line [06:33] DCPom: what package? [06:33] jim_p, java, i think there's a problem with the new updates [06:33] select package from synaptic then go: Package > force version [06:33] jim_p, so that's sun-java-jre sun-java-plugin, etc [06:34] How do i get my java to work? i have gcj installed, then firefox begs the missing plugins i chose gcj it installed gcjwebplugin and still begs missing plugin if i choose gcj from firefox again says gcjwebplugin already installed and then the success screen [06:34] can someone help me fix recordMyDesktop? [06:34] DCPom: have a look in here/var/cache/apt/archives/ === root is now known as Guest23708 [06:35] is it true all prots blocked on ubuntu default? [06:36] but i havent needed to modify the ubuntu firewall to run apache [06:36] If my firewall is running should this command --> "sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter status" tell me? Thanks [06:36] no [06:36] if you dont have firestarter installed [06:37] Is there any way to show VUs in Alsa? [06:37] you should get command not found [06:37] How do I know or find out what firewall is installed? [06:37] its the ubuntu one [06:38] iptables and ufw [06:38] i think [06:38] firestarter is graphical way to modify ubuntu's firewall [06:38] Hey all, I got a query // everytime I log onto my machine, my local disk is always mounted (icon on my desktop), so I have to constantly do umount -v /dev/sda1 | anyway to perm make it unmounted?

[06:39] Ya, my laptop hdd [06:39] So I have know way of knowing if a firewall is running or if there is which one? [06:39] i was going to ask same [06:40] default firewall in ubuntu is iptables as far as I know [06:40] !firewalol [06:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about firewalol [06:40] !firewall [06:40] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [06:40] and you can get something like Firestarter so you have a gui interface for it... [06:40] meh ;) [06:40] look at bobbino, with him we don't even need this old bot [06:40] I want to install sshfs, so I go to http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ and download the stable the release. But am I meant to compile it myself? [06:40] so what is ufw for on ubuntu then? [06:41] ubuntoRoxx: nope [06:41] ubuntuRox: install it from repository?

[06:45] I have turned off the Vista FW and made sure that samba was installed. I can see all other comps on network (Win 98, XP, Mint, Debian, OpenSuse.) [06:46] ##php [06:46] AllNewToMe: is samba configured? [06:47] Yes as I can see and interact with all others. only Vista refuses either way.

[07:06] i thought sun made java open recently [07:06] and this is also kinda principal thing [07:06] 1. sudo apt-get 2.

[07:10] jay-menon: no, swfdec is an open source flash library, and swfdec-mozilla is the plugin for firefox. it's not as good at random flash as adobe's is, but it works well with pulseaudio so you dont have to hack about for working audio, and it works for youtube. also doesnt auto-play flash ads, so its like flash block extension rolled in [07:10] !anyone | lartza [07:10] lartza: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[07:41] after installing [07:42] Dcpom...ya put the URL and page opened [07:42] its in my video audio menu [07:42] when i click on it to load it [07:42] all i get is a 2 inch by 2 inch blank window [07:42] http://backports.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?s=9dec62c759a8b0f7c287337aed4d8b2c&t=820836&page=2 [07:42] that is how i insstalled it [07:43] hi all [07:43] hi psicobra [07:43] hi node357 [07:43] jointman, why u download 7.10? u can download 8.04 or 8.10 beta [07:43] i am just fitting my new 1TB drive [07:43] nice! [07:43] jay-menon, can you put that page on pastebin? [07:43] for my media server [07:43] mythtv kicks ass [07:44] never used mythtv before... [07:44] dude it's sweet kicks the crap out of windows stuff [07:44] i had a process called /usr/bin/alacar running, and i killed it. i googled it and only got one link which is in german. what is alacar? [07:44] DCpom... i can u plz tell me how i can do that [07:44] !paste | jay-menon [07:44] jay-menon: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [07:44] cishpix: 7.10 is what i have in the moment [07:45] jointman, I suggest u download 8.04.1 coz it's newer than 7.10 [07:45] Hi all, when placing a text-file in ~ I can open it by pressing ALT+F2 and typing in the name of the text file. If I however place that same text file in ~/Music or ~/Documents it won't open anymore (via ALT+F2). Why is that? [07:45] jointman, or u can wait until 8.10 release in this month [07:46] I need help setting up SSH. My SSH client needs the private id_rsa key file and my Ubuntu desktop is supposed to have the ascii public key. How do I go about making the key and making sure I give the right part to the right half? [07:46] actually i do have a question i have 2 x sata drives sometimes when copying i can get 40-50 MB a sec but most of the time it will only transfur at between 10 and 14 MB/sec any ideas why? [07:46] Atax, probably ~/Music or ~/Documents aren't in $PATH [07:46] Yo' simple question: is the RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI compatible with Hardy? [07:47] So far so good, it has been compatible with Gutsy and Feisty out-of-the-box [07:47] But I'm not sure about Hardy [07:48] Cernex, if it's compatible with Gutsy and Feisty, it's compatible with Hardy [07:48] DCpom, !paste | jay-menon [07:48] where should i put this [07:48] did you read the bot message?

[09:10] lakhra: i use my isps dns servers. is there any difference? [09:10] jim_p: well, dunno, i dont even know what their dns is ;) never used it, dunno why [09:11] !youtube [09:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about youtube [09:11] lakhra: i used it so as to be 100% sure that i have done every single step the isp support may ask me to [09:12] bullgard4: there is a library that allows playing flv files. i dont remember the name. it is installed with mplayer though [09:13] sudo apt-get install mplayer maybe?

[09:22] try sudo apt-get install * [09:22] bullgard4: i dont use totem [09:23] is there any way to burn a cd while using the live cd???

[09:24] or perhaps send it over your local network to another machine [09:25] my 64 bit mothboard died so i cant boot my 64 bit os [09:25] cant i move the live os to swap or something? [09:25] upload it to megaupload perhaps, no you can't put it in the swap [09:27] perhaps you can use a partition tool and make a storage partiton and put it on there [09:27] the music cd that is [09:27] no its a ubuntu cd [09:27] Can someone help me fix my video settings in terminal? with the nvidia X driver ubuntu 8.0.4 [09:27] i want to boot to it so i can upgrade from 8.04 beta to 8.10 beta to try it out and see if i want to upgrade when my motherboard comes back === Doc|Shower is now known as Indoctrine [09:28] no way i can just stop everything umount my root partition and run the cdburn cause the cd is not on the live cd, it is on the harddrive [09:29] pls PM me if you can help edit conf file properly for 1900x1200 usinga nvidia card, x driver not working right [09:29] hi all [09:29] hi [09:29] !nvidia > AlmightyT [09:29] AlmightyT, please see my private message [09:29] would anyone here be willing to call me on skype so that I can test something?

I clicked paintbrush and I don't see where i can pick my size brush. Also, where did all of those panels go that came on first run of the gimp program? [09:30] brunner: what do you need [09:30] I just need it to ring [09:30] I can't get echo123 to call me [09:30] brunner: the test call rings [09:30] Hello. I just installed Hardy Heron 8.04. I originally had Xubutu Feisty 7.04 and Windows XP. When I installed Xubuntu Hardy Heron I chose the option "guided partitition" and let it do it's thing. It seems that my Windows partition was deleted in the process. What happened here? [09:30] I need my end to ring [09:30] brunner: teh test call rings your end [09:31] ikonia: how? [09:31] brunner: use the test call, it will ring and then speak to you [09:31] ech0dish: chris.brunner [09:31] ikonia: I'm starting to get frustrated. I need it to call *me*. [09:31] i dont see the cd in my mtab [09:31] he wants to test a custom ringtone ikonia [09:31] brunner: you use skype? [09:32] ech0dish then this is not the channel for that [09:32] jointman: You might have chosen the option to use entire disk for your installation. [09:32] i have to install one second brunner [09:32] Werdna: why would I ask for someone to call me on skype if I wasn't a skype user? how would I even get the call? [09:32] server irc.onlinebg.biz [09:32] how can i forcibly unmount the livecd [09:32] I didn't know that you werent' a skype user :) [09:32] sentiece what do you mean, mouont it [09:32] ech0dish: you don't need to go to all that trouble. surely there is someone who would be willing to punch in my username and hit call. [09:32] unmount it [09:32] who already has it installed [09:33] trilobit: I know I chose Guided Partition. Perhaps it has something to do with my GRUB program? [09:33] so i can burn a cd bit the drive [09:33] sentiece are you using the livecd ? [09:33] well i could use my nokia n800 but i dont' feel like turning it on [09:33] yes [09:33] sentiece then it's in use, so you can't unmount it [09:33] but i wont load anything off it while it is unmounted [09:33] i really dont care if it crashes after [09:33] sentiece it's in use you can't unmount it [09:33] it not in use if i dont load anything off it [09:33] ikonia: it's not for a ring tone test. [09:33] sentiece it is [09:34] brunner: what do you want to test [09:34] Greetings! [09:34] I just want to know how long skype will ring before it gets counted as a missed call. [09:34] if voicemail is not setup [09:34] brunner: this isn't really the best palce to canvaas for testers [09:34] test [09:35] You have new mail in /var/mail/root [09:35] jointman: wait, you said you can't see the windows partition at all. Normally grub doesn't have much to do with it, unless the entry for the windows system is deleted. So do you miss the partition or just the entry in grub ? [09:35] how do i get rid of that? [09:35] dontchoke read the mail as root, or remove the contents of /var/mail/root [09:35] ikonia: I really did think that *surely* there'd be someone here who would be willing to type my username and click a button... I had no idea it was such a huge demand that would require begging. [09:35] comeone someone has to know of a way to forcibly unmount it [09:35] i've set up a 255 MB RAID1 on 3, 500 GB drives and RAID0 on the rest of 499.5 GB but can't mount /boot [09:35] brunner you've asked 4 times - there is not [09:35] sentiece you can't - it's in use [09:35] few times [09:35] ikonia: yeah, I get it [09:35] trilobit`: both, i can't find my windows media folder in /media either using Xubunty [09:35] *Xubuntu [09:35] ikonia: where do you suggest I ask? [09:35] or remount it from a copy of the iso on the harddisk [09:36] brunner don't know [09:36] carrera: how are you doing raid 1 on 3 disks ? [09:36] i'm going to call [09:36] whats the name again [09:36] ikonia: why would one not be able to do raid 1 on 3 disks? that's very common. [09:36] jointman: does the partition show up when you check with "fdisk -l" ? Or with gparted, the partition utility ? [09:36] ech0dish: chris.brunner [09:36] ikonia, when it asked me for number of volumes or disks, I changed the default 2 to 3 and it accepted [09:37] brunner a 3 way mirror [09:37] Hello, I've just installed Ubuntu on my Acer Aspire 4715z and most ov the hardware is working, sound is workin (but very low maxvolume) but mic is not working (it worked before, with xp) Is there anyone that can help me or point me in the right direction? [09:37] ikonia: right [09:37] ikonia, I think I tried with 2 as well, to no avai [09:37] ikonia: it's great for read performance. [09:37] brunner thats not very common, 2 mirrors and spares is the more common raid 1 configuration [09:37] hello [09:37] ikonia: well, I'm doing it on a database server [09:37] carrera: I was just curious to what your setup was [09:37] brunner: "great" [09:38] carrera: so what happens when you try to boot ? [09:38] I have /dev/sda [ /dev/sda1, /dev/sda5, /dev/sda6, /dev/sda7 ] WHat n in (hd0,n) would /dev/sda6 correspond to? [09:38] ikonia, still says there's no / partition [09:38] user busy [09:38] carrera can you pastebin your menu.lst please. [09:38] trilobit`: nothing happened when i typed at terminal [09:38] ikonia, that is I can't even finish the disk partitioning step [09:38] hi all -- ubuntu intrepid keeps losing my internet connection. it's completely unpredictable, and i need help figuring out what it could be! my signal and router are fine, because i can connect with other computers. i can also connect to it with the 8.10 computer immediately upon restart or starting up a session.. however, after a while, it just cuts out, and then won't reconnect, even though the card is still responding to the netwo [09:38] rkmanager and the iwlist commands -- and it shows the various available wireless nets.. just tries to connect, gets the good signals, and then in the end doesn't connect!!! what is going on??? i have tried finding bugs, and there seem to be some similar, but none exactly the same... i need to hear some feedback from some experts in here :) [09:39] how can i remap the live cd to use a iso instead of the cd while it is running? [09:39] xjohnthomasx: join #ubuntu+1 and try to make your posts shorter [09:39] sentiece: you can't [09:39] carrera: so you've not actually managed to install yet ? [09:39] right [09:39] jointman: try this: sudo fdisk -l (will ask your own password) [09:40] trilobit`: how do i use the automount command in terminal? i forgot but it automatically reads mounted partitions [09:40] carrera: I wonder if the installer is trying to use fakefaid rather than software raid. [09:40] are emails sent by deafult for crons? [09:40] dontchoke: yes [09:40] ikonia, i don't think so. I've disabled RAID in my MB bios [09:40] jointman: I don't know that actually. Hehe. [09:40] ikonia how do i disable? [09:40] carrera: ok, so that seems right [09:41] ikonia, and the installer shows the 3 drives [09:41] dontchoke: alter the scripts [09:41] ikonia is there a config file somewhere to tell it not to send emails? [09:41] carrera: so talk me through your disk layout in the installer, how many meta devices ? [09:41] dontchoke: the mails are normally sent frmo the scripts [09:41] ikonia i dont have any mails sent [09:41] ikonia, what are meta devices?

[09:44] thomasite: not heard of it, sorry [09:44] !everyone |thomasite [09:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about everyone [09:44] ikonia, right. do I create meta devices with Manage softwareRAID? [09:44] carrera I can't quite picture the installer from memory so I don't know the options [09:45] Okay. Thanks, anyway. :) [09:45] ikonia, thanks. That's exactly where I get stuck [09:45] thomasite: try a little later [09:45] carrera: but you basically asssign 2 disk partitions (eg: /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2) to a meta device (eg: /dev/md0) you then put the file system on /dev/md0 and tell the installer that the /dev/md0 partition is where you want to install [09:45] carrera: so all your partitions should be /dev/md0, /dev/md1, etc etc [09:46] carrera: for example, my boot parttiion looks like this [09:46] carrera: /dev/md0 243M 26M 206M 12% /boot [09:46] ikonia, thanks. I can't find an option where I can do that [09:46] carrera: tell me what you see on screen [09:47] carrera: better still, take a screen shot if you can [09:47] is there anyone that can help me with my mic/audio/problem?

[10:18] ActionParsnip: will check that, second === ubuntu_ is now known as CyberBird_ [10:19] ActionParsnip: the two that are checked on the image are there (without name though... unknown device) but the 3 others arent... [10:21] linuxius: if you swap usb ports round does it switch in the VM (id shutdown the vm first) [10:21] does anyone here know the automount bash program? [10:21] linuxius: are you using hubs? does it work if you connect direct [10:22] so whenever i click a FOLDER from my Places menu, it tries to launch it with vlc. wtf? [10:22] how do i fix that? [10:22] would nuking my .gnome* dirs help? [10:22] router question here? on ddwrt, are any ports open by default? sorry, other rooms are empty [10:23] jointman: automountd isn't bash - fuserd maybe? [10:23] ActionParsnip: ok, no hubs, directly connected to the laptop. they don't switch in the VM... === mue is now known as Guest57752 [10:24] ActionParsnip: the two checked devices aren't used by the laptop though... they are too new to be supported... (dvb card...) [10:24] someone experienced multiboot manager? [10:24] hello [10:25] tynar_: grub is a multiboot manager, or is multiboot manager a program === Doc|Dinner is now known as Indoctrine [10:26] i'm using intrepid, and it has ruby 1.8.7. I want to grab the source package for 1.8.6 and repackage it with my own patch. what would be the best approach for that? [10:26] !ibex > go_beep_yourself [10:26] go_beep_yourself, please see my private message [10:26] oops [10:26] !ibex > corp [10:26] corp, please see my private message [10:27] ActionParsnip: THANKS ALOT =) =) My mic is working now [10:27] Hariharan: what was the thing that got it working? [10:30] ActionParsnip: "Mic Boost" was set to zero volume [10:31] ahhhhh [10:31] ... no one? [10:32] ScreaminIke: wassup [10:32] ActionParsnip: the recorded audio act very strange, because it has very bad quality and it seems to only work when micboost is set to max.. >S [10:32] ScreaminIke: have you been trying to make a custom menu for media files? [10:33] whenever i click a FOLDER from my Places menu, it tries to launch it with vlc. how do i fix that? would nuking my .gnome* dirs help? [10:33] ... no. [10:33] * :S [10:33] no i have not [10:33] Hariharan: try with a proper mic, inbuilt mics are utter garbage [10:33] utter garbage? bad milk? [10:33] ;) === ubuntu_ is now known as CyberBird [10:34] ActionParsnip: I am doing just that, and this (external) mic is workin very well with my other computer === sean is now known as Guest30961 [10:35] ScreaminIke: what have you changed before the behaviour happened? [10:36] :) upgraded to alpha, then beta, and installed ubuntustudio-desktop on top of ubuntu-desktop [10:37] lets say i nuke .gnome2, .gnome2private, .gnome, .gconf, and .gconfd... would that halp? what would that do? [10:37] how can i use more then 4.8bg ram in ubuntu? [10:38] cleaton, get a second mobo/processor [10:38] ActionParsnip: Ive fixed the quality now.. it must be something with the boost, because I must have the boost on max volume ( = alot of disting ), but when I allow Skype to adjust the volume the quality becomes very good and clear [10:38] i got 6gb ram but ubuntu seems to only recognize 4.8 [10:38] ScreaminIke: reset your gnome settings to defaults [10:38] cleaton: bios issue? [10:38] Hariharan: smooth move dude, if we get any skypevolume issues, you are the man to ask [10:38] ActionParsnip: is that... would that nuke my mail? [10:38] vista shows 6gb [10:38] ScreaminIke: what do you use for mail? [10:39] and bios too [10:39] cleaton: but it's lying. it cant actually use all that. [10:39] cleaton: you're running 64bit of course [10:39] cleaton: did you install 32bit linux by any chance? [10:39] ActionParsnip: Evolution [10:39] hello room nice to be here [10:40] i am running 64bit of course, otherwise i wouldn't see 4.8gb [10:40] How is everybody doing? Looks like a lot of questions are poping up [10:40] ActionParsnip: Skype is only changing the volume on the "Capture"-recordingdevice, not the "Mic Boost"-device [10:40] ScreaminIke: if you find out what folder evolution uses and make sure its not a subfolder of those folder [10:40] ScreaminIke: what did you mean that i have to get a second mobo/processor? [10:40] ScreaminIke: id rename instead of deleting so you have a fallback [10:40] ActionParsnip: is that the suggested method for fixing this? nuke everything? [10:41] cleaton: no consumer processor on the market can actually UTILIZE more than 4.8 gb of ram [10:41] ScreaminIke: its worth a test, you can always roll back [10:41] cleaton: so even if your os says it's there, it's NEVER going to use the extra 1.2gb [10:41] ActionParsnip: now I just have to fix the weebcam and then this computer is fully compatible with Ubuntu 8.04 :) [10:41] oh ok [10:41] ScreaminIke: do you mean a single core? please be more specific [10:41] but that's another story [10:42] ActionParsnip: no processor. period. [10:42] i guess i have to check my specs [10:42] ScreaminIke: what about 64bit CPUs [10:43] ActionParsnip: 64bit doubled the capability of 32bit. [10:43] so 32 bit could only use 2.4gb [10:43] Hey everybody I have a question. I'm downloading the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and was wondering what kernel it uses [10:43] ScreaminIke: so it has 64bit memory address registers? [10:43] ActionParsnip: do you have any hints on webcam problematics? Skype can testrun the cam, and it is started (the green led is lit) but the testscreen is all black === marshal is now known as Marshal [10:44] Hariharan: ive not seen much success with webcams === ubuntu_ is now known as CyberBird__ [10:44] ActionParsnip: wait... i think i was unclear when i said that 64bit doubled the capability of 32bit. i meant it HAS twice teh capability. [10:44] I used https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HP_Pavillion_dv6000_(dv6604nr) to get wifi working on that specific model of laptop except I'm using 8.04 64-bit rather than 7.10 64-bit but it did include extra tips for hardy users. My wifi still does not function, any recommendations? [10:45] ScreaminIke: yes allowing much more data to be accessed and giving 64bit address registers and data busses [10:46] ActionParsnip: but still limited. just because you can buy 2 bleeding edge ramsticks with your bleeding edge processor doesn't mean that your processor can actually address the entire memory. [10:46] ScreaminIke: if you have a single 64bit cpu in a server mobo you cn address 8Gb [10:47] ActionParsnip: i think you are mistaken. [10:48] I have also tried the 32-bit version of 8.04 with the same result, does anyone know anything about getting ndiswrapper working? [10:48] how do i check what version i got installed? :D:D [10:48] hi guys! need help to install openoffice.org 3! i downloaded the tar.gz file for linux (ubuntu), extracted it, found the right deb that satisfied all dependencies and installed it. but now openoffice doesn't show up in my main menu... how can i do? [10:48] !version | mrxmike [10:48] mrxmike: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -rc » in a !shell [10:48] i got (k)ubuntu on this box, with .. kde .. but i wanna move to gnome [10:48] im a bit fed up with kde atm [10:48] !pure [10:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about pure [10:48] ScreaminIke: its offtopic [10:48] ScreaminIke: hmm i can find no such limitation from the hardware, the only info i can get is that my motherboard can't have more then 8gb ram [10:48] thanks erUSUL [10:49] !puregnome | mrxmike [10:49] mrxmike: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [10:49] mrxmike, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [10:49] !ndiswrapper | Pavillion [10:49] Pavillion: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:49] erUSUL: muchos gracias === sean is now known as Guest29809 [10:49] mrxmike: no hay de que (es "muchas" ) [10:49] ActionParsnip: does this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HP_Pavillion_dv6000_(dv6604nr) not cover ndiswrapper setup well enough? [10:50] erUSUL: i dont speak spanish or something ::D [10:51] Pavillion: the bit starting from cabextract is where you wanna start [10:51] how is intrepid doin fellas? [10:51] mrxmike: its out on 30th [10:52] cleaton and ActionParsnip: if the mobo says it supports 8gb... then it may be me who is mistaken... if that's the case... then i honestly don't know, except that you may be using a 32-bit ubuntu [10:52] mrxmike, #ubuntu+1 for info and discussion [10:52] ActionParsnip: also, nuking the dirs didn't halp [10:52] is it released [10:52] ActionParsnip: I followed that guide exactly and my wifi remains non-functional [10:52] or will it be on the 30th? [10:52] this is weird... [10:52] 10/30 mrxmike [10:53] ahhh well, then ill upgrade my hardy already.... [10:53] ActionParsnip: I have found one more strange issue with my audio.. [10:53] Pavillion: did you add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules [10:53] im always early... ; ) .. takes down a little pressure from the server as well.. :) [10:53] ActionParsnip: yes [10:53] Hariharan: is there a thing to switch it on like a switch or FN + hotkey? [10:53] ActionParsnip: but uhm... right-clicking a folder and choosing "Open Folder" as the default application did. i'm so stupid. [10:54] !upgrade intrepid [10:54] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:54] Pavillion: are you using hardy? [10:54] ActionParsnip: yes [10:54] ScreaminIke: you got a result so you arent :) [10:54] ActionParsnip: when I use the mute-key on my keyboard I mute my mic, not my mastervolume, and the OSD shows the volume of the mic instead of the master output.. [10:54] ActionParsnip: I've tried both 32-bit and 64-bit [10:54] did you do the "Note for hardy users" bit? [10:55] ActionParsnip: yes, its Fn+F8 === CyberBird__ is now known as CyberBird [10:55] ActionParsnip: if the guide was not to work for hardy, what is the point of the hardy users section? [10:55] Pavillion: its the next section [10:55] do i just need to add the 8.10 repos and then run dist-upgrade to upgrade from hardy to intrepid? [10:55] Greetings, I have a Dell Laptop with a Intel ICH8 Chipset and after updating the kernel modules today the sound-device is broken. (no driver loaded and I can't find it in /lib/modules/) Got any advice, except to compile my own kernel? ^^ [10:55] Pavillion: as there are a few releases of ubuntu previous to hardy (?) [10:56] ActionParsnip: The button itself is woking, as I am toggleing mic recording, but the map is wrong, as it should mute master output [10:56] Hariharan: you could assign a hotkey to capture it and make it mute something else [10:56] !keyboard | Hariharan [10:56] Hariharan: To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts [10:56] ActionParsnip: do you know where to change the map for OSD/Hotkeys? [10:56] one more thing: my gnome-menues are PWNED. completely. there is no Games menu, and Add/Remove Applications is in the Other submenu... as are all the apps which should be in Games. is there a way to ONLY reset the menubar? [10:56] ActionParsnip: I followed the Hardy notes as well and I do not understand your last statement, will you rephrase? [10:57] ikonia, are u around? [10:57] just let it rebuild? cuz it doesn't have this error for NEW users. [10:57] Pavillion: which one? [10:57] ActionParsnip: "as there are a few releases of ubuntu previous to hardy (?)" [10:58] ScreaminIke: you can arrange it as you see fit. i dont use gnome myself but im sure there are guides [10:58] Pavillion: there have been previous releases of ubuntu like dapper, gutsy, breezy. Hardy is not the first release and the otehrs are still supported, so they have taken that into consideration [10:59] Pavillion: its like having a guide only for windows server 08 when 2003 and 2000 still exist and are massively used. They are covering all releases [10:59] ActionParsnip: The keyboardshortcut is correct, "Mute" points to 0xa0 (which is Fn+F8) but the mute-mapping is wrong because I toggle mute on mic instead of mute on master === cruul is now known as cruul_ [11:00] ActionParsnip: so how should i go about getting my wifi to work? === cruul_ is now known as cruul [11:00] Hariharan: then change the action that occurs when its pressed [11:00] how do i upgrade hardy to intrepid? === danopia_ is now known as danopia [11:00] ActionParsnip: do you know where I change that action?

[11:01] ActionParsnip: correct [11:01] vlc video opens in a separate window for me ... anyone know how to fix this ?? [11:02] Pavillion: maybe there is another guide you can check === _RandyboY is now known as RandyboY [11:02] martiini the NEW vlc? no. i think that's a default functionality, now. [11:03] ActionParsnip: should i try madwifi? [11:03] Pavillion: cant hurt to try, it can always be uninstalled [11:03] Pavillion: id install the restricted extras as well (if only to test) [11:03] ActionParsnip: tried those first attempt, no success [11:04] Pavillion: welcome to broadcom hell [11:04] ActionParsnip: lol [11:04] how can I get the wifi LED working? [11:04] ? [11:05] turn it on [11:05] anyone know what package provides kdialog [11:05] ? [11:05] where can i get a post-it program with alarm and everything? [11:05] turn what on?

[11:31] Like, alt+z [11:31] etc [11:31] can the -exclude flag of rsync be used to avoid entire directories? even if the files inside don't match the pattern? [11:31] hiptobecubic, Yes. [11:32] so if i want to exclude a directory called kde and kdei -exclude=kde*/ ?

The keyboard shortcut doesnt seem to let me set more then one shortcut key [12:23] hi all, does anyone know how to modify simple authentication in ldap ? [12:24] Halycon, depends omn how the remote works.. some use that lIRC protocoll - you could set their keys to send the same keypress as the mediakey perhaps.

[12:35] dr_willis is it possible the RAM/motherboard is dying? Grub also takes 10-15 seconds to load [12:35] stwange__, that does sound weird.

Did it crash before or after you were able to paste the text? [12:36] dr_willis I've tried removing each hard drive separately, same issue - I'll try this CD in a VM and if it works, I'll try replacing the RAM. worst case scenario I end up with a ram upgrade [12:36] tyberion: if that is the only monitor then it "should" but sometimes may not === dasdsda is now known as GaMbi_DKk [12:36] ok I pasted in pastebin [12:36] jrib: in the pasting process...

[12:38] After reboot, no more drivers [12:38] stwange__, its just the installer thats text based [12:38] FUNSOOFER08: okay, thats not the correct way to install the drivers which is why you now have an issue with the new kernel. You need to rerun the installer for the new kernel. If you insist on using nvidia instead of prepackaged drivers you might want to use envy [12:38] need some help. i can only play audio from one appliication at one time [12:38] GaMbi_DKk: ask in #freenode [12:38] wp: you avoid firefox altogether. Read the source of the page or use something that shows you what POST vars are set when you click "submit". Then use python or even just wget to submit the longer content. Checkout --post-data in 'man wget' [12:39] ziroday: nvidia drivers installed, else I wouldnt be able to use compiz... so I just have to plug in my laptop to my dockingstation, connect the ds with the monitor via DVI, and select nvidia-settings in order to change to external? [12:39] I have installed a utility, but cannot find where it has been installed, what is the command to find it? (I tried find / filename, or grep filename, or locate filename, but I get no results). it has been installed though, as I doenloaded the filename.deb file, double-clicked on it, the package manager launched, and installed it.

If you install the drivers from the repo's then everything will work automatically. Otherwise you have to rerun the nvidia installer, which we _don't_ support [12:43] ziroday: thx [12:43] Spudz: no problem, good luck [12:43] olskolirc: no problem, have fun [12:44] Hi.

I write echo -e Trækølle\t1H\t1T6\t1\tL\t1\t2\t7 >> Trækølle.txt [12:45] vallhalla I did not recieve your last mesage [12:45] jrib: 64 bit [12:45] Here's an odd problem for you. I have this x268-movie, around 6gig big. Mplayer cannot seek in this file at all, and when it gets to around 1 minute, it sais 'end of movie', but it sais it's 2 hours and something minutes long. VLC on the other hand CAN seek, but after the same time it simply segfaults. [12:45] wp - did you try ctrl+v and then a tab? It *might* be a putty trick I'm not sure [12:45] FUNSOOFER08: yes, or uninstall the current drivers and use the prepackaged drivers (made by ubuntu developers) that make everything work automatically [12:45] Ok but i gonna have old drivers ? [12:46] SimoneB: sun does not provide a java plugin for 64bit. You will need to use one of the open java plugins like gcjwebplugin [12:46] can someone have advice about how to learn how to analyse lshw command [12:46] jrib: and iced tea? [12:46] SimoneB: sure [12:46] jrib: i just removed it because it didn't work right :( [12:46] dr_willis just an update, the CD works fine in a VM. I'm downloading the alternate CD now but I may go and get some more RAM seeing as it's my lunch break and I only get one chance :) [12:46] SimoneB: you can install 32bit firefox if you really need sun's [12:46] FUNSOOFER08: yes the prepackaged drivers are slightly older, if you have to have the new ones you can use a program called envy [12:46] stwange_: nope did not work [12:46] !flash64 > SimoneB [12:46] SimoneB, please see my private message [12:46] !envy > FUNSOOFER08 [12:46] FUNSOOFER08, please see my private message === GaMbi_DKk is now known as GaMbi_DK [12:47] I have no pm from ui [12:47] u [12:47] !envy | FUNSOOFER08 [12:47] FUNSOOFER08: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [12:47] i have it [12:48] FUNSOOFER08: great, use that program to install the drivers then. Uninstall the old ones and then use this [12:48] drivers are 173.14.12 ? [12:48] LAL [12:49] FUNSOOFER08: they are the latest, yes [12:49] Ok, 1 month ago i downloaded these drivers on nvidia website they worked fine, and now the news dont work after one reboot .... why [12:50] FUNSOOFER08: I have explained this _twice_ to you, the new kernel broke the old drivers [12:50] arent 177.80 newest than 173 .. ? :s [12:51] FUNSOOFER08: how new they are doesn't matter, the new kernel always breaks the drivers, the old drivers have to be reinstalled [12:52] hello guys [12:52] FUNSOOFER08: and the prepackaged drivers as well as the envy one's do this automatically for you [12:52] got question here [12:52] pageold: sure, what is it? [12:52] Cant i build a other kernel for these 177.80 ? [12:52] just now, i've plug-in the fusb flash own by my friends [12:52] aaron, i just do a 'dmesg | less' then look for lines that mention the cd. use the less search feature /CD , and look for some lines lilke.. 69.403214] sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 [ 69.403403] sd 1:0:1:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off <------- the [sdc] tells me the cdrom is on /dev/sdc [12:53] in ubuntu, but clearly inside the usb flash a lot of virus [12:53] FUNSOOFER08: you just need to reinstall the drivers of your graphics card for every single new kernel release. No matter how old or new the drivers are [12:53] how can i know my ubunt not infected by those viruses? [12:53] pageold: ubuntu cannot be infected by windows viruses, they simply do not run [12:53] I have writte the man pages on echo and it says that if i write echo -e it will accept \t as an horozential tab.... but nothing happens, because echo -e year\tyearagain just outputs as yeartyearagain... what do I have to write before it works? [12:54] written* [12:54] how do we know the viruses purposely for win user not linux? [12:54] linux is virus-proof [12:54] hello. does anyone know what is the source of ssh disconnections like: $ Read from remote host foo.bar: Connection timed out\nConnection to foo.bar closed. [12:54] !virus [12:54] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [12:54] hi. how can i install network manager 0.7 in ubuntu when i dont have access to the internet with the computer that needs it installed? i need support for the 802.1x over eth on it in order to get it online [12:54] can i say, my ubuntu free from viruses 100%? [12:54] gnari, after a period of time with no activeity (a timeout) it hangs up. [12:54] gnari: are you sshing into a server far away, or are you connected to a slow connection? [12:54] Ok sry im new in linux im a pain :s :s :s, then i need to reinstall a clean ubuntu, install envyng and install 173 drivers right ? [12:54] hello, im trying to rebuild kernel for Ubuntu and UME, most of the documentation I found online are for packaging custom kernel using make-kpkg. can anybody point me to some guidance on how to rebuild Ubuntu specific kernel for specific build [12:54] pageold: yes [12:54] ok thnx [12:54] love Ubuntu! [12:55] pageold, go find a virus for linux.. the only ones ive ever seen are just 'test' cases.. that are not really viruses [12:55] relatively good connection [12:55] ZIRODAY Ok sry im new in linux im a pain :s :s :s, then i need to reinstall a clean ubuntu, install envyng and install 173 drivers right ? [12:55] FUNSOOFER08: no. You can uninstall the current drivers you have, install envy and then have the latest drivers. You do not need to reinstall ubuntu [12:55] this does not happen if I have an editor open in the terminal, but does if I am on the prompt [12:55] gnari: basically thats caused by you losing connection with the server [12:56] so I was wondering if this is a ssh config or a bash config or what? [12:56] Then why it uninstall me everytime something [12:56] hi, in earlier versions of ubuntu there was a device manager with a nifty GUI , is there any one for hardy 8.04 [12:56] ziroday, oh. so it is because of my ISP maybe? [12:56] gnari, yes.. it is a ssh config.. and a sshd config.. I dont recall it being bash specific... [12:56] cleaning doesnt work ? [12:56] :/ [12:56] gnari: one sec, lemme find you some documents [12:57] FUNSOOFER08: you can reinstall ubuntu, or you can just uninstall the nvidia drivers, it is your choice === ricky_ is now known as Guest65323 [12:57] ziroday, come to think of it, this ossibly started when i switched ISP [12:58] Hi all! [12:58] is there any device manager for ubuntu 8.04 with a GUI ? [12:58] gnari: basically it due to your internet connection, does this happen immediately or after long periods of use? [12:58] abe3k: what do you mean by device manager? [12:58] what am i losing if i install new ubuntu without deleting /home ? [12:58] ziroday, after long periods of nonuse [12:58] ziroday: a program that shows me my computer hardware and their drivers [12:59] gnari: alright, take a look at this http://madphilosopher.ca/2005/07/an-ssh-keep-alive-tip/ it a dirty hack but should work [12:59] sia-eXtreme, customized settings in /etc/ normally. and dont for get any files in /root/ [12:59] ziroday, thanks. [12:59] dr_willis: what about my softwares [12:59] ? [13:00] abe3k: take a look at the program hardinfo, its in the ubuntu repo's [13:00] gnari: no problem, have fun [13:00] hi all, i installed kubuntu 8.04 and noticed that the glx isn't installed. Google tells me i need to use alien to convert the rpm driver installer to deb for ubuntu... is that correct ? or is there a better way to install AGP driver for "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)"... thanks [13:00] ziroday : ok will do thanks [13:01] woah mass exodus [13:01] how to create second gnome x session?

(I tried find / filename, or grep filename, or locate filename, but I get no results). it has been installed though, as I doenloaded the filename.deb file, double-clicked on it, the package manager launched, and installed it. [13:02] hi all, i installed kubuntu 8.04 and noticed that the glx isn't installed. Google tells me i need to install by AGP driver..use alien to convert the rpm driver installer to deb for ubuntu... is that correct ? or is there a better way to install AGP driver for "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)"... thanks [13:02] Abracadabra: what program?

[13:05] ziroday: glxinfo shows http://rafb.net/p/kMBgta56.html [13:05] Spudz: you can hide all join/part messages, you can ask more about that type of feature in #xchat [13:05] do you know when the new nvidia driver will be releases in hardy - maybe through envy? [13:05] sia-eXtreme, what about them? software you ahve installed to the system are not saved in home.. thus they will not be 'saved' You will need to reinstall whatever packages you had installed beforhand.. its eays to make a list of those and restore from that list.

I had to download a lenovo patch for windows to fix that. anyone know where to look to fix it for linux? [13:10] blip-: no problem, just not familiar with the new drivers method, want to make sure I don't stuff something up :) [13:10] DASPRiD: share the news in #ubuntu-offtopic [13:10] blip-: whats you card again?

You won't get infected, but you may help infect someone else. There are two ways to do this: <-- i love this statement!! love ubuntu! [13:12] ziroday, ke :x [13:13] Hi there everyone, I have an issue with the gnome-power-manager, can somebody help? [13:13] Is there a program that shows and manages my currently shared files and folders for Ubuntu ? [13:13] Hi, setting ht=on in menu.lst still doesn't enable HT on my pentium 4 (which has the ht flag) : do I need the server kernel ? [13:14] HaguMon: you can try [13:14] blip-: from what I can tell the new -intel drivers should have glx and all that sorted out automagically. I have a feeling your getting a false negative [13:14] http://i33.tinypic.com/11vo4li.png [13:14] in the tray icon there is t2o batteries [13:15] what's the easiest way to format a drive (all partitions) if a live cd isn't working but I have a linux install? [13:15] and there's only one version of the gnome-power-manager [13:15] did you manually add gnome-power-manager in your system > preferences > sessions ? [13:15] stwange__: use gparted [13:15] no [13:15] It went by 'itself' [13:15] when will the network manager 0.7 be out in the official repos? [13:16] Is there a program that shows and manages my currently shared files and folders for Ubuntu ? [13:16] ziroday: hmm, so would it help if i re-installed that package in synaptic ? [13:16] blip-: I doubt it, but I am not stopping you :) [13:17] abe3k: How are you sharing them? Via Samba or NFS? [13:17] should I disable the gnome-power-manager manually from 'sessions'? [13:17] jeremiah : samba [13:17] abe3k: If it is NFS look in /etc/exports [13:17] ziroday: ok i'll try that out. but what is the tool in ubuntu that configures video card drivers ? Is there something like xfdrake on mandriva, or aticonfig for ati cards ? [13:18] ziroday: or is it raw xorg.conf editing by hadn [13:18] jeremiah : I ment a program to view a list of my shared files and folders. [13:18] *hand [13:18] blip-, for my nvidia cards i use the nvidia-settings and nvidia-xconfig tool. :) [13:18] blip-: nope, there is the screen resolution app, there is the hardware drivers app and there used to be displayconfig, but not sure where that went [13:18] abe3k: Loot at /etc/samba, see what that says. [13:18] !info samba-doc [13:19] samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation. In component main, is optional.

[13:19] blip-: take a look at the program called displayconfig-gtk [13:19] the tray icon shows two batteries, there seems to be a duplicated gnome-power-manager, but there's only one version [13:19] jeremiah : what should it say ? [13:20] HaguMon: ps aux|grep power, then kill -9 the pid you don't want? [13:20] abe3k: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/ [13:20] And when I want to control the brightness, it up/down twice when I press once [13:20] abe3k: Sorry, I don't use windows so I don't know samba well. [13:21] jeremiah : I want a Program to view a list of the files and folder that are being shared [13:21] Quick question. If I want to update my packages, is it dist-upgrade or ...? [13:21] jeremiah : and manage them [13:21] Tokorona: upgrade [13:21] thank you [13:21] abe3k: well you may have to write that yourself. :) [13:21] Tokorona: update first to get the latest list [13:21] Is there a program that shows and manages my currently shared files and folders for Ubuntu ? [13:21] Did that, wasn't sure about the next step and didn't want to jump from gutsy jjuust yet. [13:22] Nautilus is a file browser and may do what you want.

[13:22] HaguMon: the one running under root [13:23] oh, thank you [13:23] and how can that be permanent? [13:23] perhaps it will be shown next time after reboot [13:24] HaguMon: are you starting another through saved session settings? [13:24] absolutely not === mark76 is now known as M-a-r-k [13:24] in that case you should be fine, HaguMon [13:25] ok, I'll reboot then and I'll check it out === petrov is now known as nanjss [13:25] I'll be back if anything comes wrong. [13:25] thank you! [13:25] Guys, I installed Ubuntu again. Now, I'm trying to mount my Windows partition (precious data in there). But, I can't. It doesn't even show its existence. I checked Gparted and it says that its "Unknown type" instead of NTFS. Is there anyway to recover those files ? [13:25] you're welcome [13:25] Is it my imagination or did packages installed from tar files used to be installed to the system? [13:26] r0ach: from your backups, perhaps? [13:26] r0ach: otherwise perhaps dd and grep [13:26] I even tried - "mount ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk" [13:26] chaddy: No backups man [13:26] r0ach: lesson learnt, then [13:26] I recall some way that i saw ntfs filesystems get shown as somthing else... but i forget how/why. :( [13:26] chaddy: Whats dd and grep ? [13:27] I woulkd try accessing the stuff from a windows install. [13:27] r0ach: don't you have google there? [13:27] r0ach: dr_willis's plan is well worth a try [13:27] chaddy: yeah. sorry i'll google it [13:27] Is there a program that shows and manages my currently shared files and folders for Ubuntu ? [13:27] My Windows isn't working [13:27] encrypted ntfs? perhaps? [13:27] I've heard Ibex fixes a problem with laptops not being able to connect using Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN cards, any word on this? [13:28] Neurologic: #ubuntu+1 [13:28] abe3k, theres tools that shopw the shares, and theres tools that manage samba.. [13:28] See I installed Ubuntu again. It didn't recogize my Windows install [13:28] abe3k, i just manually edit my smb.conf :) however. [13:28] !ebox [13:28] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [13:28] WOw, its u Ubottu [13:28] dr_willis : can I have the names of the tools for managing pls [13:29] I read ur msg btw ! [13:29] ubottu: is it better than webmin? [13:29] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:29] lol [13:29] abe3k, as i said.. i manually edit my smb.conf :) there is ebox and swat - however i feel its BEST to learn how to read what smb.conf says/does [13:30] dr_willis : thanks [13:30] So is there anyway to force the system to show the files in my Windows partition ? [13:30] abe3k, the 'samba-doc' package has some books/guids that make for a good read.. and show how amazing 'samba' really is. :) [13:30] r0ach, try mounting it manally with the ntfs-3g tool perhaps. or mount command. I would suggest mounting it read only. [13:30] dr_willis : thanks I'll take a look at it :) [13:30] Hi there again... I have an issue with the brightness in my laptop. There seems to be moved twice up/down when I press the key once [13:31] anyone else wanna compare webmin and ebox? [13:31] if its "mount ntfs-3g blah blah" thing u talking abt, I tried it man :( [13:31] r0ach, and what did it say? [13:31] zzattack, from what i hear.. dont use webmin any more.. use ebox. [13:31] zzattack, but ive not used either in ages [13:32] can someone tell me where I can find the translation files for GDM? [13:32] dr_willis: It said "mount: unknown filesystem type 'fs'" [13:32] i put webmin on yesterday, i sort of like it [13:32] but i hve never tried ebox [13:32] r0ach, that sounds weird.. what was the exact command you used to mount it? [13:32] zzattack, yea - i liked webmin.. but since i know how to maniually edit my smb.conf now. :) i dont need it [13:33] what's webmin? [13:33] dr_willis: Here it is :- "mount ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk-1 -o force" [13:33] hi there, how can i find the name of my ubutnu pc lol? [13:33] lol [13:33] zzattack, webmin has allways been considred a security risk. be sure to set it to only allow local access. :) or other wise lock it down. [13:33] Manacim: its a control panel for ubuntu servers [13:33] click system > preference > about me [13:33] r0ach, you did use a sudo with that command? [13:33] dr_willis: i only enable it when i need webmin [13:33] oh === M-a-r-k is now known as mark76 [13:34] I have something bubby with the brightness in my laptop. The brightness "bar" is moved twice up/down when I press the key once. Anyone has the same problem? [13:34] dr_willis: Yeah man. I was root login. [13:34] buggy* [13:34] r0ach, could try sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/MOUNTPOINT [13:34] what is a new stable version of gyachi for hardy heron? [13:34] dr_willis: I === ara_ is now known as ara [13:34] dr_willis: I'll try it right now [13:35] that happened yesterday when Ubuntu updated a few packages I forgot their names [13:35] My server is router at the same time. Does sombody know a tool where I can see which of the clients connected to the server use how much bandwdith? [13:35] dr_willis: It shows the same error :( [13:35] HaguMon, at onetime the ubuntu forums had a specal forum for laptops. may want to check there.. [13:35] Manacim all it says is my username though? [13:35] ok thank you, I'll check it out right now [13:35] r0ach, sounds bad.. could be the filesystem is really buggered.. I would get it scanned by a windows machine asap. [13:35] AdvoWork: what did you wanna check again? [13:36] Manacim im sure when i built it, i gave it a name like ubuntuSOMETHING but i cant remember? [13:36] I'll be asking here again if there doesn't seem to be a solution. [13:36] any suggestions on getting my sound card working in ubuntu? [13:36] you mean a name for yoru computer? [13:36] dr_willis: So anyway to do it under linux ? Cuz I don't have Windows right now :( [13:36] like if you have a desktop it'd be -desktop [13:37] r0ach, theres varioys tools to scan/fix ntfs filesyst4ems under linux.. but it depends on how much RISK you want to take.. [13:37] r0ach, what filesystem type does 'sudo fdisk -l' say it is? [13:37] dr_willis: It says HTFS/NTFS [13:38] for webmin/ebox comparison, webmin seems liked a little better http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=790323 [13:38] AdvoWork: you know if you open terminal, your computer's name is displayed =] [13:38] Manacim yeah the name for the comp [13:38] r0ach, i would do some googling on that HTFS bit.. this is sort of raising a red flag with me.. as some special case/thing of ntfs.. [13:38] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [13:38] Mana hmm terminal shows mynameinshort@myname [13:39] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [13:39] hmm [13:39] it should've said something like cim-laptop [13:39] can i rename my pcname then? i think its called myname for somereason [13:39] root@localhost:~# /dev/sda5 744 784 329301 82 Linux swap / Solaris [13:39] dr_willis: Googling more details under progress... I'll tell u when I'm done ;) [13:39] cim@cim-laptop [13:39] is what mine says [13:39] AdvoWork: edit /etc/hostname [13:39] dr_willis: Sorry. It was "HPFS/NTFS" [13:41] hateball Manacim ive changed it to ubuntu_firstname.secondname prefs > about me still doesnt show it?

If you want to change it at once, type: hostname [13:43] !hostname [13:43] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [13:43] be very carfull when setting your hostname. :) [13:44] host name is set to firstname_surname [13:44] as is /etc/hosts if that isnt the same thing [13:44] but.. [13:44] etc/hosts shows [13:45] 127.0.1.1 firstname.surname.ubuntu firstname [13:45] When I install Windows, will it erase the whole C: partition ? (I find thats the only way) [13:45] is that just a mass mix up? [13:45] so etc/hosts needs to be firstname_surname too? [13:46] AdvoWork /etc/hosts is for hostnames, not names [13:46] i thought they both had to be the same [13:46] system > admin > network > general shows host name as firstname_surname. /etc/host shows: 127.0.1.1 firstname.surname.ubuntu firstname [13:49] how to get ubuntu version? 'uname -a' doesn't shows it [13:49] which package is necessarry to have sun java in firefox? [13:49] icedtea sucks :) [13:49] <[BD]Oric> sudo lsb_release -a [13:50] Guys, how reliable is NTFSProgs in repairing an NTFS partition ? [13:50] BleSS: if you look in /etc/apt/sources.list it will say [13:50] r0ach: I don't trust any of the non-native tools [13:50] phaidros: sun-java-jre (i miss a "6" somewhere) [13:50] uhm, is tehre a problem with java/firefox on amd64? [13:50] jim_p: I have, but about:plugins says no jave :( [13:51] phaidros: I have it installed on amd64, and I have not any problem [13:51] BleSS: cat /proc/version [13:51] hi is there any way to do a clean install of intrepid from within hardy? i.e. without booting from cd/usb === nick_ is now known as virgin_btm27 [13:51] ikonia: I don't have any choices anyway. :( [13:51] phaidros: there is a dpgk-reconfigure command that configures java [13:51] r0ach: so why ask [13:52] drguildo: update-manager -d === virgin_btm27 is now known as test === test is now known as test34 [13:52] jim_p: that doesn't show ubuntu version, rather lsb_release as pointed [BD]Oric [13:52] ikonia: Sorry man. Was desperate. [13:52] jim_p: thanks that seems to be the missing hint :) [13:52] chaddy, i would rather do a clean install [13:52] moo [13:52] r0ach: seems pointless to ask if you have no choice and your going to do it anyway [13:53] drguildo: you want a netinstall? [13:53] in dot-releases for LTSes, will there be included "special" updates too? I mean, do Evolution get upgraded for instance? I love Evolution, but it's too buggy, and it's annoying if I can't use the LTS versions because of it. [13:53] jim_p: question is, qhich package .. java-common its not :( [13:53] BleSS: there is definitely something in /etc that tells the same. your version can be also found by the running kernel [13:53] !java [13:53] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [13:53] What drivers are available for the ATI Mobility FireGL V5200? [13:53] orly_owl: ati.com - take a look [13:54] Are there any free drivers? [13:54] chaddy, any way to install it without having to burn a cd or use a usb drive (which doesn't even work with my mac mini) [13:54] orly_owl: yes the ones that ship with xorg [13:54] phaidros: sudo update-alternatives --config java [13:54] orly_owl: keep in mind not all drivers with word card/kernel combination [13:54] drguildo: is your macmini not booting linux from cd at all? [13:54] jim_p: it's true but I don't remember its name, it's also in debian [13:54] jim_p: ack, that was it .. to much fedora last months here :) [13:54] ikonia: This is on a ThinkPad T60p [13:55] chaddy, no i'd just rather not burn yet another linux installer cd if it can be avoided [13:55] Ok. I'm here again because I didn't find a solution after half an hour searching in the forums. I have something buggy with the brightness in my laptop. The brightness "bar" is moved twice up/down when I press the key once. Anyone has the same problem? [13:55] drguildo: netinstall is probably your best option, then [13:55] orly_owl: that doesn't meatter, I said driver/kernel versions [13:55] OK [13:55] BleSS: cat /etc/debian_version ???? [13:56] drguildo: there is a script for making a usb stick from install cd .. so no burning necessary ;) [13:56] so should /etc/host 127.0.1.1 firstname_surname match network settings hostname firstname_surname? [13:56] phaidros, i just said that booting from a usb drive doesn't work for me unfortunately [13:56] drguildo: oh sry :) [13:56] anyone know what umask 22 is off the top of their heads? [13:57] chaddy, thanks. i think i'll try just updating :-/ [13:57] Anyone can help me? [13:57] drguildo: mac? if so, all those macs can do target mode. [13:57] hi................ [13:57] yes,i can help you [13:57] maybe... [13:57] jim_p: I thinked that it had ubuntu version but not => lenny/sid === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [13:58] BleSS: oddly, mine says the same! [13:58] Hi can any one help please i updated ubuntu and now my usb wireless does not work is there any way of getting back to my old driver by black listing some thing.. thanks in advance [13:58] BleSS: what kernel are you on? [13:58] BleSS: jim_p .. same here, lenny/sid [13:59] Ok, my problem is ... when I press the Fn key to make the brightess going up/down, it levels twice rather than once. [13:59] jim_p: 2.6.24-21-generic [13:59] that's pretty annoying [13:59] updated today [13:59] Is the new update to Open Office the 3.0 release? [13:59] adobe released flashplayer 10 final. it even made it into a .deb!!! [13:59] BleSS: then you are on ubuntu 8.04 [14:00] btw jim_p: 'No candidate version found for sun-java5-plugin', same for java6 .. on amd64 [14:00] jim_p: as open source? [14:00] Hi i updated ubuntu today and now my wireless does not work is there any way of blacklisting the new driver [14:00] BleSS: not. [14:00] :( [14:00] i dont care about the .deb, i will download the tar.gz and go the old fashion way [14:00] BleSS: just distributing it as .deb ;) [14:00] BleSS: not opensource [14:00] HaguMon: same here. seems it is default behavior [14:00] any suggestions for getting an intel 7.1 surround sound card to work? [14:00] But that changed when I updated yesterday! [14:01] so question again: is there a chance for sun java in mozilla with amd64 ? [14:01] MrD1: what is the name of the module? [14:01] hello everyone can somebody help me with setting up a thin client network? [14:01] chris-dreamshare: what is the exact model of the card? [14:01] atisz: what part are you stuck on [14:01] It was fine until I updated... I don't know that thing... but now it changes that way... [14:01] phaidros: let me look it up [14:01] Intel® High Definition 7.1 Audio is the posted name on it-_- [14:01] I can try to get more information but it's on my laptop [14:02] chris-dreamshare: lspci | grep Audio [14:02] ikonia: we have trouble to get the gui [14:02] jim_p: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/sun-java6-plugin .. only i386 [14:02] jim_p, i have a alfa network sorry i did not explain very well befor i have a usb wireless it works but i can not packet inject any more i had a driver installed which worked fine but now after the up date i can not packet inject its alfa network rtl8187 driver, i [14:03] so I'm not sutpid *phew* [14:03] jim_p, just wont to get it back to befor [14:03] phaidros: wait then [14:03] what could be the most common reason that cron doesn't do cronjobs for the user (besides wrong user rights)? [14:03] When I press the Fn key to make the brightess going up/down, it levels twice rather than once. That happened last time I went and Ubuntu updated something I didn't notice already. [14:03] Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [14:03] sound doesn't work at all [14:04] chris-dreamshare: give me a sec to look it up [14:05] phaidros: there seems to be an executable provided by sun for 64bits. are your repos correct? [14:06] jim_p: have a look at the packages.ubuntu.com link above .. there is no sun java6 plugin package for amd64 .. [14:07] chris-dreamshare: do you use the snd_hda-intel module? [14:07] jim_p: it is even launchpad bug :) https://bugs.launchpad.net/sun-java/+bug/104512 [14:08] HI if i install an older kernel does it effect the new one [14:08] chris-dreamshare: snd-hda-intel [14:08] phaidros: sun doesn't make one. The bug on their tracker is several years old. use an open java plugin like gcjwebplugin or install 32bit firefox (see !flash64) [14:08] so, any hint how to get a remote kvm java console running in browser without having sun java ? (icedtea doesn't do) [14:08] I have no idea, I just installed the newest Ubuntu release yesterday on my laptop after leaving linux for like a year [14:08] do we have a web source of the information available in apt-cache search for any given release? [14:08] jrib: hm, I actually have flash running on an amd64 desktop *wondering* [14:09] sec [14:09] phaidros: I just know the facoid's name as !flash64, it's not specific to flash [14:09] jrib: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 [14:09] jrib: ah :) [14:10] phaidros: apparently !java64 is the same :) [14:10] hi how are you ol????????? [14:10] jrib: is 32bit firefox complicated issue? [14:10] jrib: like, having alot to tweak? [14:10] phaidros: not really, you just download the tarball, extract somewhere and copy whatever plugins you want, and create some symlinks [14:10] any idea when openoffice 3.0 Turkish will be in repos? [14:11] jrib: thats not tithin package management .. as I like to run machines over years just upgrading thats not a solution :) [14:11] within [14:11] Kartagis, did you install the Turkish Language support in ubuntu? [14:11] jim_p:I think I may have found a solution [14:12] let me try it [14:12] phaidros: there's no other way that I know of [14:12] jrib: ic, thanx :) [14:12] magnetron, yes [14:12] jrib: I gonna try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435 [14:13] I think there is a web based source of the information found in apt-cache search for any given release. Does anyone have the url off hand? [14:13] magentar, I am using Ubuntu in Turkish [14:13] phaidros: that's not going to get updated when you upgrade either [14:13] jrib: but it is within apt at least :) [14:13] jrib: ez removing then [14:15] chris-dreamshare: please wait [14:17] is it possible to choose which network interface to use when connecting to a certain url? [14:17] or site [14:17] no? [14:17] not sure about such things, Skiessi, but I suspect you want a proxy of some sort [14:18] Skiessi: i think not [14:18] Skiessi: man iproute2, look for policy routing. but usually network settings have *one* default gateway . .that makes it more diffcult [14:18] apparently I don't have root access on my own computer-_- [14:18] Skiessi: or iptables could be your new friend [14:18] how to start a different login window on second display? [14:18] chris-dreamshare: have you done sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel ? [14:18] you can use FireStarter [14:18] ok [14:19] favio: firestarter can do policy routing / iptables ?? [14:19] doing that does nothingsnd-hda-intel [14:19] I just want to maximize the download speed with apt-get, when both of them are connected to internet [14:19] yes [14:20] Skiessi: you could set a host route to the apt mirror using the default gateway of your faster interface [14:21] chris-dreamshare: you mean returns nothing? then it works! [14:21] chris-dreamshare: linux only prompts you for errors === greyarea is now known as jharkn [14:21] still no sound though [14:22] Is a storage consumption of 2,3 MB/min normal with a 320x240 pixel video and 25 Fps? (Sorenson Video Codec) [14:23] chris-dreamshare: is there any chance of the channel to be muted? [14:23] bullgard4: maybe ask at #ubuntustudio, media ppl there might know [14:23] shouldn't be, everywhere I look it's enabled [14:23] phaidros: I will give it a try. Thank you. [14:24] chris-dreamshare: did you try asoundconf list ? [14:24] is-active [14:24] Hello! My problem is that I seem to be using about twice as much RAM right now (having just logged on) as the System Monitor would lead me to believe I *should* be using. I'm wondering how I can find out why. [14:25] chris-dreamshare: and asoundconf reset-default-card ? [14:25] Is it possible to let's say, add a device entry in the Computer:/// section of nautilus, so that it shows when a specific folder is mounted ? [14:25] Intel is the available sound card [14:25] chris-dreamshare: uhm i suppose alsamix is nowhere muted. [14:25] Hi - my system apparently has a corrupt magic number (= superblock?) can sbdy tell me step by step how to repair..? [14:25] let's say, I want the CD-X to show when /mnt/something is mounted [14:26] chris-dreamshare: tried mpöayer with different -ao ? (like sdl, alsa, ... -ao help shows all) [14:26] mplayer === peppe is now known as Guest83869 [14:26] I'm not even trying music yet, just trying to get any sound at all out of my computer === Gigamo_ is now known as Gigamo [14:27] chris-dreamshare: thats what I suggested by trying mplayer with different -ao ;) [14:27] hi, i want to capture a video of the screen while playing a 3d game, i tried gtk-recordMyDesktop but it got stuck during encoding , any good alternatives around ? something with a bit of gui would be nice so i don't have to write a 5-line command [14:28] chris-dreamshare: does alsaplayer give *any* sound? [14:28] ghoulsblade, encoding will take a while. did you let it finish? [14:28] I don't have alsaplayer on this install, want me to get it? [14:28] it didn't use any processorpower [14:29] Alan [14:29] I downloaded and installed the new oo.org, but I cannot find any executable for it, where are they? [14:30] im using k9copy to backup a dvd to iso, using the copy DVD option. For some reason the ouput varies significantly in size then the original DVD? I thought that the copy option makes an exact copy? The movie is complete, so it isn't getting cut anywhere, the different titlesets are sometimes up to 500MB less in the output, why is this? [14:30] kane77: executables are generally found in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin [14:31] <__tom__> short question: If I install the beta-version of kubuntu or ubuntu [14:31] <__tom__> will it automatically be upgraded [14:31] SlimeyPete, I know that, but what are they called for new OO.org (3.0)? [14:31] <__tom__> to the full version once they get released= [14:31] __tom__, yes [14:31] <__tom__> ? [14:31] chris-dreamshare: just trying to give you hints for finding the problem .. ;) [14:31] __tom__, it will be, and please keep your questions on one line.. [14:32] I have alsa installed, it now shows my volume when I move it with the wheel, and still no sound from the speakers [14:32] <__tom__> ahh sorry kane77 [14:32] <__tom__> was still used to my IM :) [14:32] chris-dreamshare: pls look in alsamixer if there is nothing muted [14:32] chris-dreamshare: pls try alsaplayer [14:32] nothing is muted in alsaplayer [14:32] chris-dreamshare: pls try mplayer -ao help and some of the possible outputs if it give sound .. [14:32] there something like /etc/hosts, which does it's thing for network interfaces too :P like "foo.bar wlan0::foo.bar" [14:33] what is the geman channel for ubuntu [14:33] Skiessi: no [14:33] !de [14:33] Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [14:33] *there should be [14:33] Skiessi: hehe, yeah :P [14:33] What's the way to get apt-get remove to remove a package which has a broken script so won't remove? [14:33] it may seem a bit silly question but I wonder, does a beta version of firefox affects the downloaded files? I mean is there a chance to have a bad file after downloading because 9of the beta version (of firefox)? [14:33] thx [14:33] *its [14:33] phaidros: are you there? [14:34] Skiessi: try ip route add IPofAPTmirror/32 via dev wifi0 [14:34] jim_p: yes [14:34] Skiessi: or eth0 whatever .. [14:34] CyberBird, I'd say in general this should not happen. [14:34] I thought there was a "force remove" option somewhere [14:35] but I can't see it in the man page [14:35] Hi, does the latest version of ubuntu has drivers for Realtek RTL8187 Wireless USB 2.0? [14:35] phaidros: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp here is the 64 bit java [14:35] I'm using now firefox 3 beta 5 [14:35] Hi there guys (again)... I upgraded ubuntu with the latest kernel and... wifi didn't load at all. Do I need to reinstall it? [14:35] Cyber - why use a beta..?? [14:35] when using k9copy to do a DVD copy, no shrinking, why does the final iso file ouput weigh less than the original DVD? [14:36] HaguMon: lspci ? [14:36] jim_p: it is not java for amd64 which is missing, it is the missing firefox plugin .. but thanx anyway! [14:36] that's the default browser after the installation [14:36] phaidros: i thought it was in there. is it some other package?

[14:38] h jim_p: below the downloads: * Please use the 32-bit version for Java applet and Java Web Start support. [14:38] HaguMon: ok. but what is the card? [14:38] i have this sysmonitor screenlet that loads everytime i get into gnome ... i deleted the screenlet from the sessions dialog and removed the screenlets from the startup... is there any other reason it would start everytime ? i used to have it so all of my running programs would be saved when i reboot but i even took that off. is there another file that says what programs start with gnome ?

I'm talking about sun java6 mozilla, where is the relation to mplayer? *wonder* [14:42] hi, im using ubuntu with xen, no problems there [14:42] when using k9copy to do a DVD copy, no shrinking, why does the final iso file ouput weigh less than the original DVD? Could this be due to the removal of the protection schemes on the original by libdvdcss? but that doesn't make sense since I thought it was on the fly decryption when playing [14:42] phaidros: I got things mixed up... [14:42] but i want to sue virtualbox inside dom0 [14:42] frybye: np :) [14:42] can the new Oo exist side by side with the default Oo install ? or do I need to uninstall the Ubuntu version [14:42] theres not virtualbox-modules-xen package, so i figured id build them myself [14:42] jim_p: ok, I will install ubunto now, will come back later for help..... see u [14:42] erUSUL: So how can I check on interfaces with NetworkManager?

[15:48] amenado, I had someone boot that other PC (it's at a remote location) and I logged in via SSH and compared my gdm.conf to the one on it - they are identical. It is probably worth mentioning that oftentimes simply switching users via the users menu in my top panel does *not* log me out, but keeps me logged in and my apps running in the background. This is only a situation that I'm running into a portion of the time.

[15:49] Mancim: doesn work [15:49] proftpd, pureftpd or vsftpd for a simple home dir jailed ftp server? [15:49] bonez45: 'repos' is just another way of referring to the package repositories, i.e.: apt-get [15:49] it starts to rope files if i hold left click and move [15:49] Lartza_: while holding ctrl and alrt? [15:49] jadedoto, it say an error accoured at 'ioctlVIDIOCSPICT' could not set camera properties [15:49] alt* [15:49] yea [15:50] hmm weird [15:50] ctrl alt down looks like cube like 1 second [15:50] Docal that gdm.conf should have a [servers] entry and you can have several terminals specified for it, the format, i dont remember off hand, have to google for it [15:50] between switching from workspace wall looking thing(but not the effect kind) and the one workspace view [15:50] Hi!

[16:14] and you really should play with OracleXE first :) [16:14] Dread, which chroot directory ? [16:14] what is OracleXE? [16:14] theBishop, it's a light version of Oracle RDBMS [16:14] i installed kde 4.1 next to gnome.. now i cant start the virtual windows machine in virtualbox. it freezes at "spawing session" [16:14] lighter and free, but limited [16:14] sorry, should explain better, its vsftpd, i want to chroot the user bob to /home/webserver/bob/ instead of /home/bob [16:14] ops, was thiebaude [16:15] Oracle RDBMS [16:15] Anyone know if the linux-image packages are currently being messed with in intrepid's apt sources? [16:15] Dread, I have experience with pureftp, with it, you could create a virtual user and sets it's home dir to whatever path you want [16:15] ayan4m1: #ubuntu+1 for help with intrepid [16:16] jrib: Thanks [16:16] joaopinto: http://paste.ubuntu.com/57925/ [16:17] joaopinto: well what to do now sir ? [16:20] Is there a fix for todays update if you are using nvidia-glx-new-envy and you upgrade to 2.6.24-21-generic it breaks X? [16:21] how to quickly change between compiz-fusion and not? [16:21] joaopinto: sir trying to enter through the login screen it says the admin has disabled your account [16:22] how to quickly change between compiz-fusion and not? [16:22] Hi there. I want to install this distro of Kubuntu on to my laptop but don't want to install it if I can't get my external wireless card. It's a PC card, Airbus101 AWLC3026. I heard somewhere that I can update linux drivers with windows drivers files? how? [16:22] with not i mean something like metacity [16:22] tv7497, I am sorry, but you really need an introduction to linux/unix before installing Oracle on a *nix system [16:22] please search for some linux tutorial, there is a lot of documentation for beginners [16:23] joaopinto: willing to learn sir :) i may be foolish though but whats the wrong i am doing sir [16:23] peer`: you can use ndiswrapper [16:23] is 60 KB/s upload speed to lesss for a x11 connection to that server? === Chris_Britton is now known as Charles === Charles is now known as Charles_Spurgeon [16:23] what is ndiswrapper? [16:24] Hio [16:24] I need some help plz :) [16:24] tv7497, don't have enough time for a step-by-step tutoring right now, sorry :\ [16:24] okay, I see what NDISwrapper is now [16:24] I think my session is dead [16:24] joaopinto: okiee sir :) [16:24] What is the keybord shutcut to clear to desktop [16:24] how would I download and install it? or what can I search for on google to find a tutorial? [16:25] I can't access to my session with : KDE/Gnome/failsafemod [16:25] peer`, If there are no drivers for a wireless card for ubuntu or another wireless card you can use the windows driver with ndiswrapper to make your card work with linux [16:25] can someone help me? [16:25] adac is there a guide on how to do this? [16:25] peer`--> google for ndiswrapper tutorial [16:25] peer`, sure just a moment [16:25] adac, thanks === Charles_Spurgeon is now known as Ed_Skoudis [16:25] CalvinDK: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+keyboard+shortcut+clear+to+desktop&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a [16:26] hi. can anyone estimate how much I would have to download to upgrade from hardy to intrepid? [16:26] peer`, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [16:26] Justcameron, it should be as much as your current OS install [16:26] What is the keybord shutcut to clear the desktop in ubuntu. [16:26] since everything will be upgrade [16:27] joaopinto: surely some software will remain at the same version? [16:27] adac, does that guide apply to kubuntu as well? apparently I have KDE 3.5, does that make a difference? [16:27] hi all! [16:27] jussi01, don't think so :) [16:27] erm, justafish [16:27] ops, Justcameron [16:27] can i tweak metacity somehow to be more lightwieght? [16:28] and what program i can see running processes again? [16:28] peer`, no I think it makes no difference since you have to install and work on command line for this [16:28] salu [16:28] Lariri, you can use "ps -ef" on the terminal [16:28] adac, does the guide outline what I need to type in to the command line? I am pretty inexperienced with command lines [16:28] kelkun parle francais ici? [16:28] how come my ubuntu is 8.10 intrepid while my kernel is still 2.6.24 [16:29] kelkun parle francais ici??

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [16:29] ty [16:29] peer`, I thinbk more or less every step should be explained in it (every command) [16:29] adac, awesome, thanks for the help. Gonna install Kubuntu now. no more WinXP on my laptop. ;) [16:29] hello every1, who tried to install proprietary ati drivers on ubuntu 8.10? [16:29] Is there a fix for todays update if you are using nvidia-glx-new-envy and you upgrade to 2.6.24-21-generic it breaks X? [16:30] is there any kind of limitation with ubuntu or the kernel regarding the support of a resolution of 2500x1400? [16:30] peer`, probably youfirst read through the document once bfore you start install it [16:30] how do I run a file with the ext of .run from the term [16:30] peer`, What wireless card do you have? [16:30] chfwiggum, that should be related to the Xorg video driver [16:30] Airbus101 AWLC3026 [16:30] spiderz, sudo sh file.run [16:30] spiritssight; ./file.run [16:30] joaopinto: thx. ill have a look [16:31] what is the kernel on the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS CD Rom [16:31] joaopinto: sir well could you just say what did i do wrong not a step by step tutorial rather a line of wisdom :d [16:31] trying to figure out what drivers i will require after the install [16:31] adac, Airbus101 AWLC3026 [16:31] are there anyone who knows about aMSN int ubuntu [16:31] tv7497, you are doing too many mistakes because you just doing copy/paste from a tutorial without understanding, nothing I can fix with a single line, sorry [16:32] user_, you need to be more specific [16:32] Arch3Angel; you'll be asked to upgrade to the latest kernel by the time you're done installing/updating [16:32] peer`, are you sure airbus not airlink? [16:32] sounds a silly question, is there any way to speed up a standard ubuntu boot up? [16:32] Arch3Angel; i think it is 2.6.24-16 though [16:33] hi everyone [16:33] k - i am trying to see if i boot this mini-note if i will get a screen up screen on boot [16:33] trying to avoid it [16:33] er, yeah, airlink [16:33] adac, yesh, airlink [16:33] AdvoWork, install bootchart and see there which process takes how long on booting. then probably uninstall that program. This is one way [16:34] peer`, So I thin you don't even need ndiswrapper, Your card should be recognized by kubuntu/ubuntu itself [16:34] what is a fast & simple web gallery creator like iphoto & .mac website? [16:34] adac; that is insane advice [16:35] adac, alright, I'll keep that in mind. I have an ethernet cable handy (how I'm online right now ;) ) so it should be a non-issue [16:35] bastid_raZor, well I forgot to say: if he know what he is doing mean AdvoWork [16:35] moin [16:35] ciao a tutto il canale [16:36] peer`, cool, so then try it out! good luck!

[16:36] peer`, you're welcome [16:39] Pimpin: i dont think ati has fglrx drivers that work with intrepid yet because intrepid uses X.Org 7.4 [16:40] it does work [16:40] i'm using ati drivers [16:40] legend2440, ic thanks [16:40] how?

[16:43] hi [16:43] but it says " Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version" [16:43] LimCore: because you need to install the keyring first [16:43] i didn't meet that kind of problems [16:43] jrib: why not sign medibuntu's keyring with official ubuntu.org key [16:43] hmm, that's strange then [16:44] LimCore: how do you propose medibuntu does that? [16:44] Anyone know what 0 0, 0 1, 0 2, in /etc/fstab mean? [16:44] jrib: put medibuntu's pgp key into a package, and put that package (with ONLY the key, nothing more - so its fully legal in all countries) into ubuntu.org repo [16:44] haha [16:44] I accidentally said NDISraptor [16:44] LimCore: sure, that works I guess [16:45] jrib: lets do it then \o/ ?

[16:46] where does one [go] to see... that is [16:46] ok found it [16:47] hi.. [16:47] LimCore: you would be requesting a new package in ubuntu. And in the medibuntu bug tracker, you would put it against the keyring package [16:47] !packaging > LimCore [16:47] LimCore, please see my private message [16:47] so anyone willing to help on a strange keyboard/mouse problem that might be an xorg problem now?

Are you sure? [17:13] h4cx3r: have you verified your wifi card works properly under linux ? [17:14] not 100% i guess, would you mind sending me your menu.lst so i can see the format, jrib? [17:14] jrib: yeah, i see that. its different if i select its properties from the desktop or if I highlight the files and choose properties from within the drive [17:14] h4cx3r, sorry, I'm trying to think of what the cause might be. You haven't told us 1) how you went about setting up wireless 2) if it gives you any errors when you try to connect (other than not connecting) [17:14] I'm trying to build vlc , but the ./configure just stops, and cpu is 100%.

[17:19] trilobit: yes, my college gave my the ip, dns, gateway [17:20] hi, everybody [17:20] VvWolverinevV: can you pastebin your menu.lst? [17:20] Doesn't update-grub do that? [17:20] scampbell: that is what I have in mind don't know how to realise this [17:20] jrib: ill just make it easy and copy the 12gigs I have in the only folder there onto the 1st hard drive. then reformat the 2nd before copying them back. should work right?

[17:23] scampbell: have 2 accesspoints 1 is going to be the linksys and the other is a airport express [17:23] jrib: it constantly wants to return the linux root to (hd1,0) [17:23] VvWolverinevV: because that is what groot is set to [17:23] scampbell: also a wifi printer [17:23] ack [17:23] VvWolverinevV: line 74 === peppe is now known as Guest80471 [17:23] lol [17:23] o, sorry i thought # was a comment [17:23] Pimpin: http://www.file.net/process/mscoree.dll.html === WAntilles is now known as CyberBird [17:24] paul68: okay, if they the waps are in routing mode then you just stamp on address on the wireless side, add a helper address to the wap pointed at your dhcp server and create a scope in your dhcp server for the wireless side's address space. [17:24] VvWolverinevV: yeah, it's confusing. It's comments for grub, but one # is for the program that generates the new grub entries, and ## is comments for that [17:24] indian_munnda, thanks a lot [17:24] Pimpin: heheh [17:24] paul68: if you are bridged then you need to go to separate nics or vlans or (ick) multiple network on one layer 2.

[17:27] paul68: your dhcp server just sees which network address the request came from so you can't quite do that. You could however, create dhcp reservations for your known computers and dhcp range for the rest [17:27] i just installed ubuntu and need graphics drivers but dont know how to get them can anyone help? [17:27] jrib: emptying the trash did the trick. boy i feel dumb now... lol [17:27] sorsis: 8.04 (gutsy) is the latest stable. 8.10 (intrepid) is scheduled to be released in about 2 weeks [17:27] any apache experts about [17:27] I had to reinstall the nvidia driver using envy and now the config utility is gone, what do I need to install to get it back?

Have a nice day. :) [17:30] Right, although I can upgrade some updates using the updater (GUI), when I do apt-get upgrade it holds the 4 packages back, any idea why? I know I could just install them but I'm interested to know why it doesn't work [17:30] paul68: the known/unknown stuff below is based on mac address, ie, it's really just reservation's anyway. [17:30] kohnrad1982: no problem. You too [17:30] Skyrail: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [17:30] josh_ i've a guide for you, but it's in italian language -_- [17:30] Skyrail: what packages were held back? [17:30] I think it could be useful to a lot of people in India so I'd like to do it properly and offer it to the internet provider company. [17:31] Ah, that may be it, linux-generic and it's friends [17:31] :S unfortunatly i cant read italian :p [17:31] scampbell: I see but how would I set this up? <---- newby still learning a lot everyday [17:31] im installing that envy thing now [17:31] Application nm-applet wants accessss to the default keyring, but it is locked. wtf is that? I dont remember setting up keyring password.. I have user password only [17:31] Hiya [17:31] That'll be it Flannel, thank you :D I guess that makes sense seeing as it's updating the core heh [17:31] josh__: right choice. :0 [17:31] :) [17:31] :p [17:31] scampbell: build my server with basic dhcp and dns but that is as far my knowledge goes at this point === datacrusher is now known as dtcrshr [17:32] Is anyone using SSH (client) 1:4.7p1 I've seen strange behavour from yesterday [17:32] i have the 1gb ddr4 version aswell :D [17:32] pakus: best to just ask the channel your question [17:33] pakus: what the problm with that? [17:33] paul68: The easy thing to do is to create 'host' statements for you known computers, you might as well assign them a fixed Ip address as well, why have them move around on you. You need to know the mac address of the nic to create the host statement. The others will come out of the address pool. [17:33] When I try to connect "ssh leis.upc.es" (IP= 147.83.198,104), ssh connection is initiated to 104.198.83.147... As you can see reverse IP! ?¿?¿? [17:33] somebody here who knows how to create device files with mknod ? and where I can get the Major and Minor values ? [17:34] paul68: the example you are looking at is a bit more complex but IMHO kinda useless. You would create the host statement but assign no ip address but rather let them grab an address out of the dhcp 'known' pool. Like I way, I don't really want my known hosts to change ip address ever anyway. [17:34] See an example: http://paste.ubuntu.com/57951/ [17:34] ive installed envy but it wont install the drivers :S [17:35] scampbell: the mac adress part is no problem neither the fix IP adresses but don't know how to put this the correct way in the dhcp.conf [17:35] I'm having a problem using Go>Connect to server. It says when I attempt to connect to an smb share "Can't display locations smb://server === Lartza__ is now known as Lartza_ [17:35] i have the drivers off the ati site on my desktop and its a .run file how do i install that?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:36] why do ati drivers suck so much? [17:36] sh [17:36] i ahve two issues in one day [17:36] scampbell: I see what you mean but I'm a copy cat (sorry for that) need to see it first in order to see how its done [17:36] Spudz: try to instead write a small shell script that executes what you want. Then just do: RUN+="/path/to/shell/script" [17:36] opengl games dont wokr with compiz-fusion [17:36] and maniadrive is unplayable [17:36] Skyrail: upgrade only upgrades the versions on packages you have installed, dist-upgrade will bring in new dependencies on the packages you have installed if they change (new kernel, etc) [17:36] pakus: r u using ubuntu in GUI? [17:36] Flannel: ah okay, 'tis cool :) thanks [17:37] scampbell: I suppose I have to configure the eth0 from the server as dhcp, and the eth1 as local dhcp distributer [17:37] paul68: look at http://pastebin.com/m75802c2e this example give us 10.1.0.50-127 for 'unknown' computer but also serves several fixed ip addresses to known computers. [17:37] indian_munnda: I'm running kubuntu [17:37] indian_munnda: I think last update has broke my resolution [17:37] pakus: gud, then goto places -> connect to server [17:37] paul68:yes, you want to configure your dhcp server for the inside interface (actually, because it won't have a scope for the outside it wouldn't answer a request from there anyway). [17:38] pakus: done? [17:38] paul68: and your outside interface can be a dhcp client. no problem with that at all [17:38] when i use checkinstall to install something how do i remove the pkg if i want to...the pkg i installed with checkinstall is not showing in synaptic [17:38] pakus: done? [17:38] en1gma: it should, under "local and obsolete packages", you can also verify it with dpkg: dpkg -l | grep name [17:39] indian_munnda: Same behavour [17:39] hi all, my ubuntu in GUI session hangs just after login. How should I fix this ? [17:39] pakus: what happens if you give the correct ip instead of the hostname?

It says when I attempt to connect to an smb share "Can't display locations smb://server". It also said "no application is registered to handle this:". [17:40] jrib: I'll need to wait a few seconds, then execute 'wvdial blahblah'. ideally I'd like to put an icon in the tray, with a few options - disconnect/reconnect, show byte usage stats, show console output (wvdial spews a lot of stuff into the console). What do oyu reccomend? Can I script this or do I need to write a binary? [17:40] Spudz: script it, but start with just making it connect [17:40] jrib: Can eg python hack something like that? [17:40] Spudz: of course [17:40] scampbell: I see but I want to be the range of the unknown computers limited to 2 or 3 different IP's [17:41] scampbell: then I need to adapt it from 10.1.0.50-55 [17:42] jrib: cool - I'm fresh in from windows, which would require a binary to do the same. so all this stuff is new to me! [17:42] hey all quick question..I found a bug in a problem and a solution was posted to bugzilla with a .patch extension, when I try and do a ./file.patch it does not work...is there another way to incorporate said patch? [17:43] I'm having a problem using Go>Connect to server. It says when I attempt to connect to an smb share "Can't display locations smb://server". It also said "no application is registered to handle this:". [17:43] eternal_p: you need to rebuild the package, applying the patch [17:43] jrib: thanks..which I have no idea how to do :) [17:43] scampbell: does it also mean that I have to add the accesspoints seperately in here or is that useless since the linksys is directly connected to the server and the airport express is connected to the linksys [17:43] !source > eternal_p [17:43] eternal_p, please see my private message [17:44] lukas123: just install kde packages [17:44] eternal_p: that's how to rebuild a package. 'man patch' tells you how to apply a patch (it's very readable) === blablabloblu is now known as blablabblu [17:44] scampbell: do I also need to adapt the interfaces file and add the wlan in there or is that useless? [17:44] paul68: You can add the accesspoints if you want them to get their ip address from the dhcp server, they would be 'hosts' then. Otherwise you can just give them ip address. [17:44] I need help geting my system to boot again, grub giving error 15 this is after I del a parts that had ubuntu on it also [17:44] How I unzip an encrypted 7z file?

[17:47] Reaverbot: 7z e whateverfile [17:47] not the one I am using but a different one [17:47] jrib: so when i want to kill the info script i have to manually kill all the child processes [17:47] 7z e or 7z -e [17:47] SpiritSight: what u did to the partitions? [17:48] trilobit: ok...so shall we continue to my problem [17:48] SpiritSight: If you deleted the partitions there is nothing to boot to at that point. Sounds as though this is a dual boot system?

If you think you can please open a private chat with me. thank you very much [17:49] h4cx3r: so you had the wifi working and only after the broadband connection you have problems with wifi. The problem persists all the time or only when you're connected via broadband at the same teme ? [17:49] No, I had two ubuntu system one with 8.04 and other with 8.10 I am geting ride of the 8.10 partion [17:49] ((time)) [17:49] Reaverbot: man is very usefull command. It pulls up the manual page for a give command. 'man man' will bring up it's own man page to get you started :) [17:50] er, for a given command that is. [17:50] trilobit: could we pm..because i kinda dizzy with all this chat =) [17:50] Mmm, lunch at mongolian... back later [17:50] sely: well pkill has a -P option which should let you kill the children, but not children of children [17:50] h4cx3r: but others might be interested in the same issue. [17:50] scampbell: well in the interfaces file you have the eth0 and eth1 declaration like Iface eth1 inet static with the Ip range and stuff do I need to add the wlan inhere aswell [17:50] SpiritSight: Sounds like you will need to re-install grub to the partition that has your 8.04 installed.

[17:53] Grim76__: how do I do this, I am using a live cd [17:53] trilobit: they only support me with one gateway.. 16.0.1.3 [17:53] ajrion: no [17:53] ajiron, I do not. I think you may have a host problem or a dns issue [17:53] ajrion, Check your /etc/hosts file [17:54] sqawerlz: what do u mean? [17:54] MaxHavoc: it is same on my other computer on windows [17:54] ajiron, what MaxHavoc said. what is in your host file? [17:54] jrib: oh, i guess i am an idiot...i was using kill -9 in stead of kill -1...kill -1 seems to kill child processes [17:54] h4cx3r: I know. but you might end up in a situation like that. I have a laptop that has ethernet which I connect to a dsl modem. I also have wifi card. I configure the ethernet manually, wifi is automatic. Now, when I want to use wifi, I have to disable the ethernet, otherwise wifi won't work for me. [17:55] Hiya! I'm having a bit of a nightmare using Vinagre to share my Ubuntu desktop with my OSX macbook... has anyone else got any knowledge / experience using this? [17:55] SpiritSight: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html - this is a link that I have used before to fix a grub problem like this. [17:56] trilobit: hmm..but when i use my vista..it went ok with the wifi..but when i use my linux..i can't connect to the internet [17:56] I've used the guide at http://www.zaphu.com/2008/04/29/ubuntu-guide-configure-vinagre-to-share-the-screen-with-mac-os-x/ and I'm getting an error message when clicking the "share screen" button, saying Connection Failed [17:56] Does anyone have a problem browsing Windows shares? I can't display them, but Ican manually connect and mount them. [17:57] MaxHavoc: i cant make out what this means.. is tehre something i should look for? [17:57] can anyone tell me what is the roll of samba in windows network? [17:57] h4cx3r: Can you ping your wifi gateway when you use wifi ? [17:58] anybody has an xfi soundcard working under ubuntu hardy / intrepid. I used a kernel.org kernel (27) but i cant compile the current drivers. [17:58] ajrion, Sometimes viruses change the /etc/hosts file to redirect common sites to infected ones, so see if there are any entries in there that look weird [17:58] trilobit: there is no response [17:58] ajrion, Really there should be no entries in there except for localhost 127.0.0.1 [17:58] there are [17:58] hi all [17:58] can anyone tell me what is the role of samba in ubuntu and windows networking? [17:58] when i use the driver for D-link DFM-562IS and install that my sound card being useless...(hardy) [17:58] hi [17:58] h4cx3r: how many default gateways appear? use "route -n" to check. [17:59] indian_munnda, Samba is a Linux version of the SMB protocol which Windows uses for NetBIOS file shares and such === Pen is now known as pen === hume_ is now known as hume [17:59] MaxHavoc: but we can access windows partions in ubuntu by mounting also then why would we need samba [17:59] test [17:59] trilobit: now i'm not using linux..i'm using vista..but currently i'm at cc..not in my college [18:00] MaxHavoc: can i send you a private message pleas? [18:00] indian_munnda, That's completely different, mounting NTFS shares can only be done locally without samba [18:01] h4cx3r: Does the wifi interface show up when you do "ifconfig" ? [18:01] hey guys, got kind of a crazy question. i made an ubuntu-server vm in vmware infrastructure, then exported it as an appliance. when i import it back in, eth0 doesn't work, i have to go to eth1. i was wondering if it is some problem with the nic getting a new mac address, any ideas? [18:01] MaxHavoc: u mean samba is used over a network of computers or on the net? [18:01] indian_munnda, Samba is used when you connect to Windows network shares, so yes it's over a network [18:01] trilobit: i think so..i can't check right now [18:02] my lexmark printer / scanner is detected, I can scan without problems, but when I send something to print, it says it is, but nothing happens on the printer... any ideas ? [18:02] h4cx3r: ... and I must get offline now anyhow. We can discuss it tomorrow though, if you don't solve it till then. [18:02] MaxHavoc: u mean we can't mount partitions remotely. right? [18:03] trilobit: ok sure no problem..thnx for everything..looking forward our next disscussion [18:03] discussion* [18:03] indian_munnda, Not without Samba [18:04] MaxHavoc: now got it completely, thank you sir. :) [18:04] h4cx3r: in the meantime, you check if the wifi interface is brought up, and also how many default gateways appear. Also, you might have to see the /etc/resolv.conf at several moments to see what nameservers are configured. Sometimes the wifi will try to use the broadband nameserver and that won't do. [18:04] I'm off now. Good luck. [18:04] thnx [18:05] indian_munnda, No problem [18:06] Hello everyone, I'm having an issue with one of the NICs on an Ubuntu server of mine.

Should I look for some linux-based anti-virus software out there, or does that come included with the ubuntu distro? Any other thoughts about security on ubuntu? [18:07] techsupport: gunzip $file ? [18:09] RickZilla, Security for Ubuntu is much like security for other OSes, turn off unneeded services/protocols/etc... keep your software up to date and don't go to dodgy websites [18:09] RickZilla, Use Firefox with the noscripts plugin and whitelist good sites, disable all scripts by default [18:09] is it possible to enable compiz with my dual monitors display using the nvidia driver on hardy? [18:09] is there any way to download .deb files from the repos but not install them?

[18:41] it doesn't actually have to be physically (ie on filesystem level) attached to the file (preferably not even), but a plugin for nautilus or the likes would be sweet [18:41] she says "the computer is locking up", but really it is only the browser that is stalling [18:41] anyone know anything that does that? [18:41] bakarat: right click -> properties -> notes, or do you want something else? [18:41] i cant be more specific, though, cause it is not my experience [18:41] I need help with geting my partition booting, I have boot on sda1 and my ubuntu on sda2 [18:41] hello, may I boot windows installed on a logical partition with grub? [18:41] LuYu: sounds like an add-on problem to me [18:41] jrib: preferably with specific fields depending on the "type" of file [18:41] hmmm [18:42] LuYu: irc.mozilla.org/#firefox [18:42] so, you figure if i delete the addons, it might speed up? [18:42] My hd says "click" and everything hangs... Should I toss it away? [18:42] bakarat: sounds like a worthy thing to hack on to modify the notes feature. But I don't know [18:42] jrib: btw, is it possible to do (advanced) searches on the "notes" field? [18:42] caneron [18:42] !question [18:42] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[18:43] !日本語 [18:43] !jp [18:43] 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [18:43] on the ubuntu side, the system i built (hardy) is still using 50% of the processor time when idle [18:43] bakarat: pretty sure it's just nautilus. I don't know if there is some sort of standard it's using. You would have to look into that (maybe check freedesktop.org) [18:43] thats because of tracker, i think [18:43] if the proc is 50% utilized normally, that doesnt leave much for apps [18:43] LuYu: is that using gnome-system-monitor? [18:44] jrib: will do, thanks for the feedback :> [18:44] yeah [18:44] jrib, gunzip gamei386.so.gz produces no output, and nothing is changed, no files are added [18:44] what is the name of that app that puts your pc stats on the desktop for you?? [18:44] LuYu: try using top instead - I find that gnome-system-monitor uses a load of CPU (I think it's from drawing the graphs) or you can reduce the interval it updates the data at [18:44] * MHz128 does Network Manage (nm-applet) have its own IRC channel? [18:45] Manager [18:45] with firefox running, it was between 98% and 100% [18:45] techsupport: it should have renamed your file from gamei386.so.gz to gamei386.so [18:45] now its hovering around 50% [18:45] fair enough [18:45] it does use a lot [18:45] jrib, oh yeah it did :) what do i do next ? [18:45] hi i need help [18:45] techsupport: I don't know what you are trying to do [18:45] but that still shouldnt account for 50% of the CPU, right?

[19:23] amenado: Well, I'm not 100% sure. However, I'm willing to bet that the fact that gnome-panel is refusing to load is being logged somewhere [19:23] macvr: where is initrd.gz? [19:24] nm, su -- worked [19:24] AlexMax--> how much are you willing to bet? not all events are logged, depends on the configs [19:24] Well why would GNOME's desktop load but not the menu bars [19:24] danbh_intrepid: /boot/initrd.gz [19:24] I know they're two different processes, but how would i even begin to figure out what's going wrong?

[19:25] or rather GNOME safe mode [19:25] Mmm...do someone know some place with documentaion about ndiswrapper? I mean, I installed driver of my GPRS-modem, ndiswrapper -l show it to me as installed. But how can I use it? Maybe some devise should appear in /dev ? [19:26] ermm, can we request a final cd of interpid now? [19:26] macvr: well, sorry, I'm on intrepid. Looks like they got rid of that. [19:26] Hello. How i can view some information about my machine? e.g. CPU % use or RAM % use.. [19:26] try metacity --replace & [19:26] or we must wait untill in the end of the month? [19:26] ort [19:26] hello [19:26] danbh_intrepid: :( [19:26] unitedpotsmokers: there is no way to get the cd quickly other than using bittorrent, or download [19:26] Vladimir--> top; free [19:27] thanks :) [19:27] hmmm [19:27] looks like getting rid of those plugins solved the problem [19:27] Well, I sorta solved the problem [19:27] hi all... my uname - says that i have>>> UBUNTU-laptop 2.6.24-19-generic #1.... but i updated to 2.6.24-21 am i missing something? i restarted also after updating ... how do i check the version my initrd.gz???

[19:27] so, how do I wipe my gnome config? [19:27] unitedpotsmokers: yeah, you can go ahead and request the cd now. I think they've already started to take "pre-orders" [19:28] danbh_intrepid: how is intrepid? [19:28] AlexMax--> try deleting those ~/.gnome directory?

[19:30] amenado: Doesn't gnome store things in other places too? [19:30] Hello everyone [19:30] any egyptian here ? [19:30] unitedpotsmokers: I recently did an upgrade to the Intrepid beta.

The client updates the pages using contribute, so before I make changes to the code, I have to download the files then commit any changes. Is there an easy way to sync the local directory with the folder on the server (via SSH preferably)? This way I don't have to tar the folder on the server, download it to the desktop, untar, etc...

Makes perfect sense. [19:33] nevermind, it was LANG="eng" haha not sure why it didn't work before [19:33] LuYu: what would that be? [19:33] I'm not getting any sound, can someone help me with this problem? [19:33] i wish they released the 2.6.27 already [19:33] what could realplayer be using selinux for? [19:33] reinstall back in a bit. [19:33] i dont know [19:33] rm -rf ~/.gnome2 and ~/.gnome2-private did not work [19:33] 2.6.24 suck shit. [19:33] unitedpotsmokers: no problem man :) [19:33] and i hope i didnt blow away my sticky notes in the process [19:33] even though i probably did [19:33] but they force the installation of about 15 packages [19:33] Is it possible to deinstall Apache & PHP cleanly so that no traces of the software are left and I can reinstall them from scratch? [19:34] AlexMax: just a sec. I'm looking up something that might help [19:34] it might be better if they made something that played better with a standard ubuntu install [19:34] hey guys iam stuck, i got ubuntu server install, had apache2 working and now i broke it, also using webmin [19:34] sorry for a stupid question, how to set a name while using xchat? like if i want to ask something to someone here, it will start like this " isaacj87: blablablabalbalbala " [19:34] i just need to reinstall all over again config files too [19:35] thebossut: have you tried to remove with --purge? [19:35] AlexMax: have you tried gnome-reset ? [19:35] i mean how to set a user's name.. sorry for my bad english [19:35] i think so [19:35] so apt-get remove --purge apache2 [19:35] right [19:35] With this latest kernel update i can not find/install build essential. Is it possible to install it some other way if it exists for 2.6.24-21-386? [19:35] hi all .... anyone using the latest 2.6.24-21? how u u log in? do u have to select the kernel 24-21 or default? [19:36] ? [19:36] mongolai: no [19:36] thebossut: well, that may only be the meta package [19:37] unitedpotsmokers: which messenger are u using? [19:37] AlexMax: look that up and give it a shot. Try creating a new, new user first and mess up the settings, then try it [19:37] thebossut: maybe apache2.2-common and maybe all the apache packages. [19:37] mongolai: It's worthless. gnome-reset only works in a GUI [19:37] yea i need every thing re-installed [19:37] i can't access a gui when I'm logged into my user account [19:37] because i cant load a terminal [19:38] because i can't access the menu bar [19:38] What program is suitable to concatenate 4 .flv videos? [19:38] macvr, now im using xchat v2.8.4 brother [19:38] AlexMax: alt+F1 . . . i think, it'll send you to a terminal interface . . . [19:38] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/215284 <--does anyone have any idea if there's _anything_ i can do to get around this?? :\ [19:38] thanks [19:38] trying it now [19:38] misteralexander: no no no, I'm in a termianl interface RIGHT NOW [19:38] but [19:38] it needs access to the gui === macvr is now known as macvre [19:39] those ctrl-alt-f1 through f6 terminals are not attached to a GUI [19:39] hmm, i thought that it would say what the link was, but it's about ubuntu not recognising canon powershot a460s [19:39] seems it might be working [19:39] they're attached to their own dumb terminals [19:39] ctrl-alt-f7 is not a dumb terminal [19:39] which is where i need it [19:39] AlexMax: not quite. you know that you can hit alt+f2 in a borked gnome to get a one shot command-line, right? [19:39] can someone answer my question? [19:40] unitedpotsmokers: /nic desiredusername [19:40] AlexMax: Boot into a liveCD & copy XTERM to your desktop folder. When you reboot (with no panels) it'll be there and let you interact in a GUI with a terminal interface. === macvre is now known as macvr [19:40] macvre: unitedpotsmokers: don't you mean /nick The_Riddle [19:40] danbh_intrepid: thanks i think it worked [19:40] unitedpotsmokers: oops: /nick uname [19:41] thebossut: np [19:41] mongolai: did NOT know that [19:41] very new to linux [19:41] tho learning fast i think [19:41] also [19:41] there is a failsafe terminal that i just found out about [19:41] alt-f2 aint working [19:41] AlexMax: cool beans. getting closer [19:42] hi all .... anyone using the latest 2.6.24-21? how u u log in? do u have to select the kernel 24-21 or default? [19:42] i dont want to change nick bro.. but i just want to call the name people here... like this "thebossut: np " "mongolai: did NOT know that" <-- i want call the name [19:42] and i cant tell whats going on because it only loads an xterm, no window manager [19:42] AlexMax: alt+f2 . . . then type "xterm" [19:42] unitedpotsmokers: use TAB key [19:42] !tab | unitedpotsmokers [19:42] unitedpotsmokers: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:42] sorry, 2.6.27 here ;) [19:42] unitedpotsmokers: yeah, the TAB key [19:42] oh... i ll try [19:42] unitedpotsmokers: type part of name and then [19:42] AlexMax: quicker and easier than my idea, achieving the same results. [19:42] that does nothing [19:43] what about my nick unitedpot [19:43] wait.. i want to test [19:43] AlexMax: try this, type danbh [19:43] AlexMax: Alt+F2 then typing "xterm" does nothing? [19:43] AlexMax: oops, that wasnt for you === isaacj87 is now known as isaacj87_away [19:44] themolester, theclaw [19:44] ok i done. === isaacj87_away is now known as isaacj87 [19:45] anyone using kernel 2.6.24-21? [19:45] underwraps_2k, unitedpotsmokers , UnionPivo , Kitar|st [19:45] i got it.. thanks... for help [19:45] AlexMax: bummer about the alt+f2. try the other alt key if you have one, and if that dosen't work it suggests that something went wrong with a previous attempt at fixing the original problem [19:45] I'm trying to get flash working on firefox64...and I do have nspluginwrapper, and firefox does list it as active in about:plugins, but flash doesn't work. Ideas? [19:45] misteralexander: I loaded fluxbox and from there was able to get myself into gnome-reset [19:45] sorry guys, i'm asked a lot [19:46] however, that still did nothing [19:46] im new with linux [19:46] buenas noches all [19:46] anyone using kernel 2.6.24-21? [19:46] AlexMax: whatever your problem is, it seems to be far, far beyond a Gnome issue . . . [19:46] macvr: whats ur problem,sir? [19:47] hello [19:47] AlexMax: Perhaps an X issue . . . [19:47] chfwiggum: my uname -a says that i have>>> UBUNTU-laptop 2.6.24-19-generic #1.... but i updated to 2.6.24-21 am i missing something? i restarted also after updating ... how do i check the version my initrd.gz??? [19:47] misteralexander: IMO it's only a gnome problem. probably caused from a mangled attempt at a fix. [19:47] chfwiggum: how u u log in? do u have to select the kernel 24-21 or default? [19:48] misteralexander: I doubt it, it's just a matter of figuring out what settings I need to delete [19:48] this channel help with the new dkms packaging system for kernel stuff? [19:48] but it is ok, many people are friendly here.. i just addicted to use ubuntu.. before it is make my life different, i need to explore a command, type something when to do semething, i like that, and one more thing, i very like the GUI, the interface of ubuntu. It looks great, and beautiful compare to XP and Vista... :) [19:48] mongolai: Perhaps so, he's having allot of the same issues I did once, and all my fixes aren't working for him, that's why I thought it was a higher level problem, beyond gnome. [19:48] i cant compile 96.43.03 of the nvidia drivers and my card is specific for this driver version [19:48] macvr: u can pick either.did u compile it yourself?if not chose the default-my best guess [19:49] 96.43.05 i mean [19:49] misteralexander: yea, i gotcha :) [19:49] AlexMax: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [19:50] it's old but might help you anyway [19:50] What program is suitable to concatenate 4 .flv videos? [19:50] chfwiggum: are u using kernel 24-21? no i didnt compile ... my 24-19 got updated to 24-21... now i checked in the initrd.gz... looks like it has 24-19 kernel? is the default always the old first installed kernel?

I've added the intrepid repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list and done aptitude update... [19:52] hello all. How do I mount an smbfs volume? I tried /usr/sbin/mount_smbfs -N //wolson@Nelson/backups /data it said mount_smbfs didn't exist [19:52] sounds like macvr's menu.lst maybe wasn't updated? [19:53] When i specify the package I want to update, it wants to update libc6 as well. Is that going to totally break my system? [19:53] chfwiggum: i did the restart. i'm not sure if the new update got installed properly! did u get the update? what kernel are u using? [19:53] is there a problem updating right now with 8.10 I don't get response on #ubuntu+1 [19:53] i have a volume problem on Dell 1530, any tip? === alberto is now known as Guest6985 [19:54] jharkn: i checked the menu.lst i have 3 options.> default, 24-21, 24-19 ... default points to initrd.gz which has kernel 24-19 is this normal? [19:54] AlexMax: sorry. I just realized you might not be able to see the link. It's about how to reset gnome settings. basically you can do a "rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity" and should be good. I don't know about compiz, nor do I know if this actually works, but it's worth a shot [19:54] AlexMax [19:54] be careful about using rm lol [19:55] jharkn: what kernel are u using? [19:55] macvr: did u try cat /proc/version ? [19:55] macvr: or uname -r [19:55] chfwiggum: Linux version 2.6.24-19-generic (buildd@terranova) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) [19:56] i recently installed 8.10 beta and can't seem to find most programs listed in synaptic, including php, apache, mysql etc... [19:56] macvr: so, now u know whats up [19:56] chfwiggum: which kernel are u using? [19:56] is it possible to have drawer style in some apps? [19:56] do i need to enable another repo? [19:56] macvr: sounds like you need to change your menu.lst to me, I'm on arch though personally, not ubuntu (well I do have ubuntu on a partition) [19:56] macvr: y? :) [19:56] like in mac you have drawer style [19:57] mongolai: Whelp, that didn't work either [19:57] chfwiggum: i know what is up... but not sure the update is fine? [19:57] that article [19:57] settings are being stored SOMEWHERE but i cant figure out where [19:57] Users can be in multiple groups, correct? [19:57] balz: Correct [19:58] thx [19:58] macvr: when I updated my ubuntu kernel last the menu.lst update was interactive and I could choose to do it manually. maybe you did that by accident? [19:58] macvr: if u dont know about kernel u better dont change anything, u best do your updates via the repos and be happy your box is running [19:58] chfwiggum: if u are using kernel 24-21 did u select the option 24-21 or default in grub? if u selected default could u check the initrid.gz [19:58] is there another channel for ibex?

[20:00] macvr: so either u learn about kernel or u just leave it be [20:00] AlexMax: well, I'm fresh out of suggestions to fix.

[20:07] How can I restrict a particular user to a single directory when he accesses my server via sftp? [20:07] I did an apt-get update on my 8.04 server and it showed a kernel upgrade to 21. Why isn't this upgrade on the USN list? [20:08] A recent automatic kernel update on Ubuntu Hardy has screwed up and it won't boot into ubuntu now and just leaves be with a shell, it gives me two revalidation failed messages (errono=-5) before giving me a bit of info and logging into shell [20:08] macvr: do you have an equivalent file for the latest kernel? [20:08] macvr: and a vmlinuz of course... [20:08] i upgraded to the new kernel as well...all seems fine on my end [20:09] what programs better then wine? [20:09] i did it on 2 machines and both are solid [20:09] sorry hello all [20:09] sjea: vmware [20:09] thank you chfwiggum [20:09] sjea: cedeka [20:09] jharkn: i have the /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-21-generic and else... i could toggle the options... but i dont know if it is normal to hav the default option to remain at the older kernel after an update? [20:09] or how jo write it [20:09] Shutdown from the cli does a regular shutdown of the system? [20:09] you [20:09] thx hap [20:10] crossover is alright as well.. [20:10] but its not free [20:10] anyone has recently updated the kernel to 24-21 from 24-19 via the regular updates? [20:10] macvr: no it isn't otherwise it wouldn't bother updating ;) [20:10] Azhi_Dahaka: it can. It can also do other things like reboot, etc [20:10] Mhm, I've no idea why it messes up, I've updated macvr [20:10] macvr: i did [20:11] !medibuntu [20:11] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [20:11] I mean, if i use shutdown from the cli for a timed shutdown, the internal process is the same that happens when I close via the Quit Button? [20:11] Skyrail: six2one : how do u choose in grub? do u toggle to option 24-21 or the default option? [20:12] when I type ----- apt-get install -f --------- I get the following [20:12] Well mine's is borked at the moment, so I couldn't help sorry macvr [20:12] The following extra packages will be installed: [20:12] libmono-system-data2.0-cil libmono2.0-cil libndesk-dbus1.0-cil [20:12] Azhi_Dahaka: as far as I know it goes through the same shutdown process [20:12] Azhi_Dahaka: well, that's getting a little bit tricky. gnome seems to first check certain programs if there's unsaved data and will prompt the user to save. I don't think the CLI shutdown program does this [20:12] macvr: my grub is set to default to the newest, which is selected to -21 [20:12] then ...... Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code [20:13] The following extra packages will be installed: [20:13] libmono-system-data2.0-cil libmono2.0-cil libndesk-dbus1.0-cil [20:13] The following packages will be upgraded: [20:13] libmono-system-data2.0-cil libmono2.0-cil libndesk-dbus1.0-cil [20:13] 3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 46 not upgraded. [20:13] vrivett: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:13] Need to get 0B/559kB of archives. [20:13] how can i do a timed gnome shutdown? [20:13] macvr: if you have both of: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-21-generic vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-generic [20:13] ok someone has to know what the heck is going on [20:13] macvr: then update your grub.lst manually [20:13] six2one: when i choose the default option it loads 24-19! my initrd.gz file has 24-19 ... though i have the option to toggle to 24-21... is this normal? [20:14] macvr: it depends on your grub conf i think. let me check something on my end for you.. [20:14] i got ubuntu 8.04 lts installed on that hp mini-note and iwconfig displays info for a wireless device however the switch will not turn on (blue) and only stays orange which is off [20:14] suggestions please [20:14] macvr: paste your menu.lst [20:14] !pastebin | macvr [20:14] macvr: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [20:14] I have a gutsy server, and I need to run OpenSSH 5 on it (for the chroot support). It's not in backports. What's the best way to do this? [20:14] can someone tell me what I need to do here is a paste of what is happening http://paste.ubuntu.com/57998/ [20:14] Azhi_Dahaka: shutdown will work, there is just a risk of losing unsaved personal data. Im not really sure of any way around this for a timed shutdown [20:15] what C++ editor do you guys use? What editor also supports find in files? [20:16] six2one: jharkn http://paste.ubuntu.com/57999/ [20:16] plamar: vi [20:16] I am having trouble running apt-get and have been up all night trying to fix it [20:16] plamar: check out geany though I havn't really used it for programming yet personally [20:16] How do I restrict a user to a single directory on a drive? The drive is umasked to 002 and the user does not belong to the group that owns the drive, he is in a group by himself. [20:17] balz: one way to do that would be chroot the user. OpenSSH 5 supports that. [20:17] balz: what version of Ubuntu are you running? [20:17] rhombus hardy [20:17] macvr: we have a difference [20:17] bah [20:17] rhombus: what is chroot exactly? [20:18] six2one: ? [20:18] balz: then you're in the same boat that I am. I need OpenSSH 5, but it's not in hardy (or gutsy) and it's not in the backports. [20:18] macvr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58003/ [20:18] balz: It makes a directory of your choice appear as root to the logged in user. [20:18] rhombus: and this can't be done without openssh 5? [20:19] macvr: i think order matters [20:19] balz: not easily. You can chroot with any ssh, but OpenSSH 5 has some tools to make it easy [20:19] balz: or rather, it integrates an easy method [20:19] six2one: k... could u check something else out? do u have a /boot/initrd.gz file? [20:19] guerda? [20:19] macvr: checking [20:19] balz: so the challenge is to find an OpenSSH 5 package that is going to work. [20:19] rhombus: gotcha. that's a pain... do you know where i can find more information? [20:20] yeah or to figure out how to chroot under whatever version of ssh i have... [20:20] balz: If I did, I wouldn't be here :) [20:20] amenado: are you here? [20:20] rhombus: right =) [20:20] balz: don't waste your time -- focus on upgrading to OpenSSH 5 [20:20] rhombus: okay. well intrepid should be coming out soon, anyway [20:20] macvr: not in that location, where should it be? [20:21] balz: oh -- well, OpenSSH 5 is *in* intrepid [20:21] I presume there is no easy way to roll back a dist-upgrade command easily, right? [20:21] balz: but that doesn't help you if you have a production system running an older Ubuntu, does it? [20:21] six2one: /boot/initrd.gz << i have the file in boot! how did i get this file!!! could u search if u have an initrd.gz file? [20:21] rhombus: production is a strong word. it's a mythtv box [20:22] balz: Well, in my case I have a production server :) [20:22] rhombus: so if anything it lowers my productivity. but i love it anyway =) [20:23] balz: i've tried adding the intrepid repositories, but then it pulls in all these scary dependencies, like libc6 [20:23] balz: I can just see this breaking everything [20:23] haha yeah it's never simple, is it [20:23] rhombus: well hopefully when intrepid rolls out officially it shoudl be plenty stable [20:24] rhombus: i still don't think i'll be touching it within the first 30 days [20:24] balz: that still doesn't help someone running an older Ubuntu. [20:24] macvr: looking.... [20:24] six2one: k... [20:24] balz: they're not going to do an upgrade on a running server [20:24] welcome enerybody [20:25] help! iwlagn: iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode firmware file req failed: Reason -2 [20:25] rhombus: you're talking about your server, right? or will i not be able to upgrade to intrepid? [20:25] anybody have "phun"? [20:25] hey guys i just bought a new tb hdd, what is the best program to check if it has no faults? [20:25] beejay77: man phut =) [20:25] balz: One doesn't normally do in-place upgrades on working servers. [20:25] macvr: didnt find anything [20:25] *phun [20:26] ok i am back apache2 fixed [20:26] now to get php working [20:26] macvr: i think its some ramdisk thing? or netboot? i just searched my LTSP server for it and came up short [20:26] strange: The Ultimate Boot CD has manufacturer-specific diagnostics on it, very useful [20:26] rhombus: what do you mean? sorry i'm very very new to the ubuntu realm [20:26] i have installed the package and set it up i think but if try to run test.php it wants to d/l the file [20:26] so i know it is not handling it correctly [20:27] So, I did apt-get dist-upgrade to update the kernel as the auto updater wanted to, I restarted and now it won't boot into ubuntu, the loading screen stays for a while but then it logs into the shell and stays at that, I can't even look in my /boot/ folder as it doesn't seem to exist on the shell [20:27] six2one: well i dont know how i got the file!!! ok... how do i edit my menu.lst? should i just comment out the first options? how do i make 24-21 the default? [20:27] to start ? [20:27] balz: Are you new to Linux? [20:28] rhombus: eeh. I've been toying around with it for about 2 years... nothing advanced. I'm just confused as to what you're saying exactly... is it not a good idea to apt-get dist-upgrade? [20:28] Skyrail: that sounds you are in busybox ... you forgot to load storage or filesystem module [20:28] @macvr sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst its pretty self explanatory after that [20:29] macvr: you should be able to just move things around [20:29] xlizard: erm, I don't even know what busybox is :/ [20:29] i noticed that u have menulst which ends with >>> vga=773 what does this option do? [20:29] vmware fusion is that the one i use? [20:29] balz: It's not generally advisable to do that on a system that's stable and running, no. [20:29] @macvr I woulnd't mess around with it unless your trying to fix something [20:29] macvr: or better yet...copy the one you want to start and then plop it down on the top of the list and COMMENT the other one out [20:29] root@vrivett-laptop:/media/cdrom1/pool/main/m/mono# apt-get install -f [20:29] Reading package lists... Done [20:29] Building dependency tree [20:29] balz: Sometimes you have no choice, but... [20:29] Skyrail, an mini mini mini linux tpo rescue if something is bad ... [20:29] I'm setting up a cron job and trying to delete any files older than 4 days...This is what I'm using - and it doesn't appear to be working http://paste.ubuntu.com/58009/ [20:29] Reading state information... Done [20:29] rhombus: gotcha, okay. i guess dependencies get all mucked up [20:29] Correcting dependencies... Done [20:30] The following extra packages will be installed: [20:30] vrivett: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:30] libmono-system-data2.0-cil libmono2.0-cil libndesk-dbus1.0-cil [20:30] and first off you might want to cp it to a .bak [20:30] Skyrail: busybox is like a small set of commands that it dumps you to when it can't find actual system to load [20:30] any thoughts? [20:30] rhombus: is it possible to downgrade? [20:30] balz: Things rarely go smoothly, let's just put it that way [20:30] i see [20:30] balz: it's usually ok to do that, but as rhombus said, production servers are a whole different game. [20:30] balz: that I don't know. I haven't used Ubuntu much. [20:30] i have installed the package and set it up i think but if try to run test.php it wants to d/l the file [20:30] i have installed the package and set it up i think but if try to run test.php it wants to d/l the file [20:30] ...or can of worms as it were [20:30] genii: xlizard: yeh, that's probably what it is, all lines start with (initramfs), all I did was install the update it wanted heh [20:31] @thebossut edit your httpd.conf to include the php mime type [20:31] mongolai: okay. I guess i can afford to have issues on a mythtv box =) I'll probably wait a few months after intrepid comes out though [20:31] balz: Yeah, it sounds like mongolai has been there. When there are paying customers at the other end of a machine, extra rigor is called for [20:31] six2one: Chubbz: i'm looking at the file... i have setup the such that the grub selects in 1 sec after the timeout? does it just recognize the first entry? or does it look for anything else [20:31] Skyrail, THATS buybox ;) ... boot with a boot-cd into rescue mode und reinstall kernel image ... with some luck initramfs will be created correctly [20:31] rhombus: yeah that makes absolute sense. I probably wouldn't even want to stray from LTS versions [20:32] I AM USING WEBMIN [20:32] sorry caps [20:32] xlizard: right, I'll see what I can do :) [20:32] Can anyone help me configure my tv card? I have tried many times with no result .... It's an Avermedia Hybrid A16AR [20:32] I want to use sbackup and I want it to make quite frequent backups, but I am right in thinking it doesn't start automatically? Because I set it up earlier today and rebooted, but it didn't continue to make backups. How can I make it start automatically? [20:32] So, does anybody have any suggestions for how I can get an OpenSSH 5 package that will work safely in Gutsy? [20:33] application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 application/x-httpd-php-source .phps [20:33] anybody knows why iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode has been removed? [20:33] in interrepid [20:33] Skyrail: You can go into livecd, then mount the old / partition and then chroot there to reinstall linux-image- and it should rebuild the initramfs [20:33] I want to make my own themes for gnome, how do I do that? [20:33] !themes [20:33] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [20:34] intrepid ... baahh ;) [20:34] lspci shows 03:03.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7131/SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1) [20:34] Does anyone know a good backup software for Ubuntu ? [20:34] please help me configure it [20:34] @azhar27: sbackup [20:34] genii: thank you for translating ;=))) [20:34] azhar27: yes, "cp -r ~/ /backupfolder :P [20:35] genii: okay, thanks, I'll see what happens, it will be fiddly with my dodgy SATA support as well [20:35] Azhar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/SimpleBackupSuite [20:35] @ichbinesderelch - I was asking more of scheduled backups. [20:35] @balachmar - Thanks. [20:36] any help with the cron job question? [20:36] azhar27, rsync is nice ;) [20:36] wtf is up with CUPS... i deleted a printer off of my local system and it deleted my pritner off my server [20:36] wtf [20:36] when i run ndiswrapper -m it tells me: * The update-modules command is deprecated and should not be used! [20:36] does this mean it isnt working? [20:36] rhombus: i found a tutorial for installing this... is this something that could be useful? http://sublimation.org/scponly/wiki/index.php/Main_Page [20:36] i told it i wanted printers not to be listed on my laptop [20:36] i didnt want to delete the damn pritner from my print server [20:36] xlizard : Will check out rsync and sbackup, Thanks. [20:36] i dont have time to deal with this crap [20:37] I am getting an odd error when trying to install new packages on hardy: Setting up tzdata (2008g-0ubuntu0.8.04) ... [20:37] dpkg: error processing tzdata (--configure): [20:37] cups is strange on ubuntu [20:37] meoblast001: CUPS can be a royal pain in the ass... try #CUPS [20:37] balz: Some people like it. Personally, I think one should be doing it with the sshd that's already running [20:37] cups is obfuscated in ubuntu too though [20:37] what would i use to convert a xvid to a divx? [20:37] limitedwisdom: Perhaps you want to specify full path in rm line [20:37] oh so this sets up a completely different service? different ports and all? [20:38] any ideas about my tv card? [20:38] blaz: thanks i just told them their software is retarded [20:38] balz rather [20:38] balz: it's a wrapper [20:38] I think that is the full path isn't it? (sorry I'm a noob) [20:39] I mean, it's not the specific files, but those will change every day [20:39] balz: now i have to remember how to add this printer again... i didnt plan a 2 hour printer install in my plans for the day [20:39] rhombus: what's a wrapper? [20:39] @DigitalFiz: you can using mencoder, or ffmpeg or even pitivi [20:39] when i run ndiswrapper -m it tells me: * The update-modules command is deprecated and should not be used! [20:39] balz: a scanner wont work on monday, a printer wont work on wednesday... if i have to spend my whole life maintenanceing these things i'll throw all my computers out the window [20:39] balachmar, ty forgot about ffmpeg [20:40] i spent 6 hours setting up a scanner [20:40] DigitalFiz: You're welcome [20:40] balz: A wrapper is a program that intercepts connections and passes them on to a subordinate program [20:40] meoblast001: welcome to linux. honestly i wouldn't recommend flipping out at people in a channel though [20:40] balz: It "wraps" around the subordinate program. [20:40] rhombus: i see. so what does scponly do exactly? [20:41] balz: so what options do i have? an OS where everything is slow and you never get done what you want to.... an OS where every problem takes a whole day to fix... or an OS where you have to have thousands of dollars just to buy it [20:41] i hate computers [20:41] balz: I haven't looked that closely, i'd rather not do this with a wrapper [20:41] rhombus: fair enough [20:41] rhombus: time for some google-fu! [20:42] meoblast001: yeah that's the bottom line... computers are a b*tch. [20:42] anyone??? [20:42] meoblast001: are you running ubuntu-desktop or server? [20:42] balz: desktop [20:43] meoblast001: there *should* be a relatively straightforward graphical app for printer sharing in gnome [20:43] meoblast001: Truly dude, I haven't had much problems using printers and scanners on Ubuntu, much less problems really then on windows... [20:43] i've always used config files and such though [20:43] balz: i shut GNOME off usually on my server.. only turn it on sometimes [20:43] balachmar: i bought all my hardware when i had windows.. havent bought any hardware since.. so that tells a lot [20:43] meoblast001: You can share printers through samba if you want [20:44] meoblast001: yeah i do too. well here's the graphical method, JIC. http://www.funnestra.org/ubuntu/hardy/#ipp [20:44] meoblast001: often the older the hardware the better on linux [20:44] How do I install nautilus scripts? [20:45] balachmar: why isnt it that way on windows? [20:45] doh [20:45] shouldnt it be equal on both [20:45] if you can do it on windows cant you do it in linux too [20:45] it is working :s I didn't notice that there weren't any files in there older than the date (there were a lot more than I expected!) [20:45] sorry for the silly question [20:45] what is the shell command to show all the stuff loaded into /dev/* [20:45] what's the point of drivers.. cant we just have a standard for all hardware? [20:45] akazawa: http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/ [20:46] quit [20:46] epoch: cd /dev && ls [20:46] Tundrayeti312, no [20:46] meoblast001, perhaps, if all hardware was standard [20:46] meoblast001: that would be kinda boring though [20:46] i plugged in a usb device [20:46] but i dont know which /dev/* its on [20:46] hi ppl..i'm triing to copy all mi home in the home of another user...but i have to "sincronize" the permissions...how to do? [20:46] ichbinesderelch: boring to have things that work? [20:46] meoblast001: Because on windows more hardware manufacturers make drivers. And sometimes hardware manufacturers discontinue support for a specific windows version [20:46] i'm getting the workspace is still in use message on ubuntu hardy & grannymede. there are no instances of eclipse open, i just restarted my computer... help? ;p [20:46] maybe i shouldnt ask this in ubuntu...since everything is GUI... [20:47] Pitto: chown [20:47] epoch: dmesg | tail in terminal and watch out for some /dev/ line [20:47] hello! I have a problem: since last update of kernel:(2.6)19 to 21 on ubuntustudio, i get GRUB Error 15 everytime and unable to boot into new(21) kernel. Anybody have this problem? [20:47] meoblast001: unfortunately some hardware vendors neglect linux, but their number is declining [20:47] meoblast001: making things work is actually the funniest thing on computers, they are boring when tey are running completly flawlessly :P [20:47] Waiting for mysticgalaxiesserver.local... [20:47] why is it waiting [20:47] menu.lst is ok btw. files present. I force reinstalled all *21. no change. 19 boots ok. [20:47] ichbinesderelch, wrong [20:48] I tried to install xmms2, but it seemed not to have any GUI and it was hard to implement a GUI, so my question is: Which lightweigth mp3 player with GUI can you recommend? [20:48] how do I make it so that my fonts in my desktop panels are white and not black? [20:48] mongolai: i tried say cp -R home/mastroirmo home/murphy.... but it gives me error (access to mastroirmo denied) [20:48] Lykkefeen: if you need player-only> audacious [20:48] genii: so how do I go about installing the newest stable kernel for ubuntu? [20:48] epoch: marmalade? [20:48] Pitto: you may need to be sudo to do that. [20:49] yes but if i'm sudo [20:49] it will not create the files like Murphy...and murphy is not "porpietary" [20:49] Skyrail: Usually the sudo apt-get upgrade will do this, if one is available [20:49] Lykkefeen: I don't know if it is lightweight enough, but banshee is pretty nice [20:49] Pitto: i don't understand "Murphy" [20:49] where do I get help with installing themes [20:49] my new user name [20:50] my new username [20:50] if i use sudo...the files owner becomes Root.. not Murpy [20:50] Pitto: OK. [20:50] fwaokda: I assume that that is a theme thing [20:50] genii: it gives me 0 upgrades/dist-upgrades, do I have to delete anything first? [20:50] balachmar: I'm searching a equivalent to the old winamp :) Just for mp3's I'll give audacious a try now :) [20:50] Pitto: sudo chown -R Murphy * [20:50] Skyrail: You are currently chrooted from livecd into the old / or such? [20:50] Pitto: sudo chgrp -R Murphy * [20:50] i guess no one has an answer to the wireless broadcom issue [20:50] How do I get a theme installed, I have downloaded a couple from gnome-looks.org [20:51] ok.this 2 after the copy as sudo... [20:51] THX a lot :) [20:51] spiritssight: Just drag them onto the themes window in System>Preferences>Appearance. [20:51] !changethemes > spiritssight [20:51] spiritssight, please see my private message [20:51] genii: yeh, I mounted the / partition and chrooted to it, I'm at it now (it shows all the right files when I ls -l) [20:51] Pitto: of course you must do it right in the folder you need rights to change [20:51] spiritssight, depends, using emerald theme manager or just the default? [20:51] Pitto: copying files from one user to another requires permissions - either root (which sudo provides) or user or group. The easiest way is "sudo cp (whatever)" then "sudo chown (whoever)" [20:52] Lykkefeen: Then you should try beep media player -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beep_Media_Player [20:52] Pitto: you can use rsync for copying. It keeps permissions if "-a" is used. [20:52] ShinobiTeno: that's a better solution!! [20:52] ShinobiTeno: keep permissions or sync permissions? [20:53] Could someone tell me why my Ubuntu desktop will play music on the hard drive, but when I try to play off of a flash drive, totem just opens, then closes. [20:53] i've Grsynk... i'll try [20:53] dani [20:53] Skyrail: OK. So just: apt-get install --reinstall linux-image should grab latest and reinstall === dani is now known as Guest51733 [20:54] Crusader_Tech: can you access other files on the flash drive? [20:54] Pitto: rsync is a very powerfull copy and sync command. There are plenty of GUIs for it too. It can copy, sync or filter. do "man rsync" or get some GUI with "google rsync gui")) I use it to sync 1:1 my 500Gb disk. [20:54] guys i need your help, i'm trying to install madwifi but it tells me i need to make something, and i haven't a clue what to do [20:54] rhombus: when you said you didn't want to use a wrapper, why is that? [20:54] balachmar: Thanks, I'll give that a try after testing audacious :) [20:54] Crusader_Tech: It should just play them normally if you can acces the files correctly [20:54] I tryed to drag the folder and or the xml file that is in the theme folder that I downloaded and it does not seem to work [20:54] mongolai: Yes, I can open documents, and whatnot. It's also not limited to any particular flash drive. [20:55] can someone help [20:55] plz [20:55] balz: Because I don't trust it. I use OpenSSH because security is important to me. If I introduce a wrapper, I jeopardizing that security [20:55] Is it possible to install a .deb package into an alternate location? ( I'm looking into creating a chrooted environment. ) [20:55] Guest51733: With what? [20:55] mongolai: well, I take it back. Now it wont play an MP3 off of my desktop either. one sec while I check my codecs [20:55] balz: i jeopardize, sorry [20:55] Pitto: you can also try GNOME Commander if you do much file operations) [20:56] Hey guys. My sound has stopped working on my Dell Inspiron N 1525 after the latest update. This came with Ubuntu pre-installed. [20:56] rhombus: how serious of a security risk is it? is this something I should be concerned about? [20:56] anybody have experience with phun? [20:56] balz: I don't know of any bugs in scponly that would make it vulnerable, but then I haven't really looked for any [20:56] phun - Phun is a free game like 2D physics sandbox where you can play with physics like never before. [20:56] Shortguy109: mine too, I wonder if its something to do with the Dell set up? [20:57] Shortguy109: Any extra information, besides sound doesn't work? [20:57] balz: If you're just using it for a machine in your living room, then it's probably fine -- but that's not what I need this for [20:57] i have video card without 3d acceleration [20:57] how do i look file a file named .lock recursively in ~/workspace [20:57] balachmar: with terminal i think [20:57] rhombus: okay that's exactly what I was wondering. I know you work for a company, so it's a totally different ballpark [20:57] ShinobiTeno: i just looking in rsyink...to understand how to tell it to "change and update" permissions (i'm not anglophone...and have some troubles translate manuals :) ) [20:57] No sound devices or GStreamer plugins found" [20:57] in win it work ok, in ubuntu it is not [20:57] can some one help with instaling threms from gnome-looks.org [20:58] Sorry, "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." [20:58] That happens whenever I try and change the volume. [20:58] Guest51733: What do you want to do? [20:58] Is there a way to boot the Live CD with sound disabled? The login sound is very loud here at work and I need a way to silence it. [20:58] Pitto: plz tell me this: is it one time operation or regular. 2nd: copy(add), do 1:1(sync), backup,.. what exactly do you want to have? [20:58] beejay77: graphics card? and u probably have to enable and install proprietary driver for 3D [20:58] hi... my system sounds dont work! but i'm able to get sound from vlc player and rhythom box [20:58] ? [20:58] I got the same message when I just tried to change my volume too [20:58] kansan: Something like grep -r lock . [20:59] i need to copy all my home to another user home [20:59] just changing user [20:59] and have SAME pc and config [20:59] Pitto: does "another" home contains files you need to keep? [20:59] Tundrayeti312: there is no driver for 3d, my cardjust do not support 3d acceleration [20:59] not..it's just created [20:59] balachmar: i need to install madwifi as ubuntu isn't allowing me to go wireless [20:59] Pitto: 1:1 or add? [20:59] ok [21:00] beejay77: hmm.. thought you said it worked in win nvm [21:00] (i would rename primary home..but someone said me to not to do that) [21:00] Tundrayeti312: nvm? [21:00] Guest51733: what wifi card? [21:00] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument [21:00] beejay77: nevermind [21:00] That happens when I run a sound test. [21:00] Tundrayeti312:it works in regular windows on the same hardware [21:01] Shortguy109: Maybe reinstall gnome-media [21:01] There were 2 people on a boat: /hop and /quit. /hop got off, who's still on the boat? [21:01] Necrosan: thats so dumb [21:01] haha [21:01] did the latest update mess up something? [21:01] It's funny, man! [21:01] Necrosan: Please don't. [21:01] 3 people [21:01] Yes, the latest update has messed things up for three of us. [21:01] Guest51733 Then install madwifi through the synaptic package manager [21:01] - at least. [21:01] because after restart of the latest update, i got an error and now ubuntu is running on low graphic mode [21:02] and now i dont know what to do, reinstall the graphic drivers? [21:02] danbh_intrepid: its antheon something [21:02] Reinstall of gnome-media did not work. [21:03] Guest51733: atheros? [21:03] hi [21:03] maybe upgrade to inrepid helps, thats running fine on my other machine [21:03] I just did mv command and overwrite a file [21:03] is there any way to undo it [21:03] ? [21:03] Shortguy109: Maybe reinstall gstreamer pulseaudio? [21:03] danbh_intrepid: yeah atheros-5007eg [21:03] balachmar: Okay, I'll give that a shot. [21:04] ddm: nope [21:04] Tundrayeti312: any clue? [21:04] anyone know why all my apps menus would disappear? [21:04] ddm: sorry, we all did that sometime in our life I guess... Just be sure to be carefull with rm as well [21:04] Guest51733: atheros is supported in intrepid, which is coming out in 2 weeks [21:04] how I check my kernel version? [21:04] aaron_: uname -a [21:04] aaron_: uname -a [21:04] thanks [21:04] balachmar: how do i do that? i can get into the spm but can't find anyway to install madwifi [21:05] aaron_: i think uname -a :P [21:05] :P [21:05] beejay77: I don't understand your problem.. You card doesn't have 3D acceleration, but it ( 3D acceleration ) worked in Windows w/ same hardware? It that what u r saying? [21:05] ubiquity just froxe on Configuring apt:Scanning the mirror---------am i safe just to kill it and reboot? [21:05] balachmar: Pulseaudio reinstall did not work. Finding an appropriate gstreamer package to reinstall. [21:05] danbh_intrepid: is that the new software version of ubuntu?? is there anyway i can use wifi at the mo then? [21:06] Guest51733: Maybe I see them because I am on intrepid. Or maybe you don't have multiverse and universe repositories? [21:06] should I do these commands? : sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [21:06] sudo nvidia-xconfig [21:06] sudo reboot now [21:06] It told me I already had the latest pulseaudio but that it couldn't find the gstreamer package [21:06] Guest51733: well, I have a new atheros card, and the only thing that worked for me was ndiswrapper, but it worked very poorly. Worked, just poorly. [21:07] magnetron, can u show me how to use wine? [21:07] Shortguy109: Then I am out of options... [21:07] King_Kickass: Why are u in low graphics mode? Did it fail to find your driver? or did it overwrite your xorg.conf? [21:07] Darn. [21:07] i want to use Yahoo Messenger [21:07] can I upgrade to gutsy? to the latest kernel that will be released in Intrepid [21:07] aaron_: upgrade to hardy first [21:07] aaron_, no [21:08] unitedpotsmokers, first thing you should do is to go to the WineHQ AppDB and check if your app works in Wine [21:08] Thanks anyway, balachmar. :) See ya! [21:08] !appdb | unitedpotsmokers [21:08] unitedpotsmokers: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [21:08] ShortGuy109: Good luck! [21:08] Tundrayeti312 it said it cant load X === fluugh is now known as flugh [21:08] ok i got it [21:09] is it possible to install ubuntu on a computer? [21:09] thanks for all your help guys, i think i'll just have to wait for intrepid [21:09] Tundrayeti312: phun is rendering, in windows it is wokring slow, but in ubuntu it is not working at all [21:09] i'm sorry I have hardy....is it possible to upgrade my kernel to latest [21:09] pder, yes [21:09] pder: yes [21:09] Skyrail: Apologies on lag, work. Able to install the linux-image from the chrooted environment there? [21:09] pder: I hear, in theory, yes [21:09] King_Kickass: yeah... but why? [21:09] thanks all [21:10] Can i install a package and have it ignore all its dependencies? [21:10] beejay77: I don't know anything about Phun sorry [21:10] aaron_: yes, when intrepid is released in two weeks, you will be able to upgrade and get the latest kernel [21:10] i got problem.... heres what I do: opening terminal, then used these commands: airmon-ng stop wlan1 , ifconfig wlan1 down , macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wlan1 ........ and as soon as I hit ENTER my ubuntu is goin' insane..... like i am pressing the ENTER without stopping, and I need to shutdown the system..... any suggestions? [21:10] aaron_, it's possible but not supported, it's difficult, and risks breaking stuff possibly badly. why do you need to? [21:10] how come a bunch of my updates will only install with update-manager and not apt-get? [21:10] I am a noob, I dont know why the update messed up my graphics i just want it back as it was [21:10] rhombus: think with --force option [21:10] I've installed ubuntu for the 15th time today, but booting up still doesn't work: The message in boot says: "Booting from local disk..." and nothing more... The boot is on /dev/sdb1 and I have a file system at /dev/sda1 (not mounted) [21:10] could anyone help me out with what I think is a dbus problem? [21:10] genii: not yet, 'tis a pain but I'm working on it, I presume I need to select the exact image to install right? Need to make sure I install the right one [21:10] ichbinesderelch: thank you, I'll try that [21:10] rhombus: I don't think so, because probably it wouldn't work anyway [21:10] SkyLeach, they will if you use dist-upgrade [21:10] ops, was SkiddyFisk [21:11] howdy all. been a long time. looking for a pointer in the right direction. I need to modify a header in the kernel source via patch to get my modem working. what/how do i reboot from the new kernel, do i need to make a new kernel (getting panic when trying to reboot with new kernel). gotta faq , something NOT Git? [21:11] pioneer dvr 108 is not working when I went form Gutsy to Hardy [21:11] rhombus: no, you can't. you can manage to in some ways you probably should avoid, but it will be uninstalled at next update anyway. [21:11] King_Kickass: Ok goto System->Administration->Sytem Log ( i think ) and check the Xorg.log it should give you some info as to what went wrong [21:11] where do i go to make it where removable media doesn't create a shortcut on the desktop when inserted? [21:11] ichbinesderelch: maybe you have an idea where/how I can get a package for OpenSSH 5 that will work in Gutsy? [21:11] help me please :[ [21:11] does anyone know how to get my kernel of ubuntu that is 8.04 lts and kernel 2.6.24-19 to 2.6.24-4 or later [21:11] flugh: uhm, which modem is that? [21:11] its a known issue in Launchpad and there is no sudo apt-get command to upgrade from the kernel I'm in....I want to see it it was fixed in the latest kernel...but I hear your warning [21:11] magnetron, i must register at wine website to view a list of application? [21:11] Tundrayeti312: i get: ERROR: Exception caught in main: Couldn't set video mode, SDL-error: Couldn't find matching GLX visual [21:11] Arch3Angel, the current kernel is 2.6.24-21 [21:11] i cant use broadcom without upgrading the kernel [21:12] unitedpotsmokers, no. [21:12] rhombus: no package in the repos? [21:12] Ljl: USBCOnnect 881, usb modem for connection to AT&T [21:12] Arch3Angel: do you have linux-generic installed? [21:12] Tundrayeti312: it is not a problem of phun,but it work on both os so i can compare [21:12] LjL, balachmar: why wouldn't it work? I tried using the OpenSSH 5 package from the intrepid repository, but it wants to pull in a bunch of terrifying deps like libc6 [21:12] ichbinesderelch: Not for Gutsy, no [21:12] i am trying to use my broadcom wireless card working and the chan has this as a topic [21:12] Everybody (especially bcm4311 users) please use 2.6.24.4 or later [21:12] ichbinesderelch: Nothing in backports, either. Totally useless. [21:12] rhombus: and of course you shouldn't do that! but, just about as clearly, you really shouldn't install packages from Intrepid on Hardy. [21:12] rhombus, you can't use an intrepid package on a previous version !! [21:13] rhombus: Because the package DEPENDS on the other packages. It needs functionality from those packages to work [21:13] advice? [21:13] gfgfgf [21:13] Arch3Angel: did you see my question? [21:13] LjL joaopinto: Yeah, that's why I didn't proceed [21:13] i got problem.... heres what I do: opening terminal, then used these commands: airmon-ng stop wlan1 , ifconfig wlan1 down , macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wlan1 ........ and as soon as I hit ENTER my ubuntu is goin' insane..... like i am pressing the ENTER without stopping, and I need to shutdown the system..... any suggestions? [21:13] magnetron, there is no yahoo messenger support [21:13] i have an unsupported howto from sierra wireless, and a patch, instructions, can follow their instructions ok, but on the module and kernel install, i'm hinky about mucking up the stock 7.04 stuff (if it ain't broke dont fix it), [21:13] unitedpotsmokers, too bad. [21:13] rhombus, what you can try is to get the *source* package for intrepid, and build it for your version. [21:13] all i did was install ubuntu and update using update manager [21:14] balachmar: man -- the dependencies are already met for the previous version of the package I want to install. There are only version differences [21:14] rhombus: if you absolutely have to do it, install build-essential and compile openssh from source, don't mix and match packages [21:14] rhombus: i would recommend compiling it from source then [21:14] When editing the permissions of a directory, do i need to enable the exectue bit for directories? [21:14] rhombus: And maybe it needs stuff that where added in later versions [21:14] Skyrail: just "linux-image" usually is a synonym for the latest kernel which is available. However you can also specify the exact one if you like as well. Examining the old contents of the previous /boot/grub might help [21:14] LjL: Is there an established procedure for this? [21:14] beejay77: It sounds like a driver issue of not supporting 3D... I would assume that you would need a 3D graphics card for any modern day physics simulation app... so I'm not sure how it worked on Windows if your graphics card isn't... that's all I can really say : / [21:14] Hey everyone what is the difference between something that is userspace & kernel? I am trying to configure LIRC and am going through the dpkg-reconfigure lirc and it is asking me what remote configuration I want to use and I am not sure what one to use. I have a ATI Remote Wonder(1st edition) and have blacklisted the ati_remote module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and now am trying to get everything setup with LIRC. [21:14] but kernel needs patch, recognizes modem as a storage device. the patch adds something to unusal_dev.h so it's seen as a modem, uses a different driver. unless i can build the driver against existing source, and FORCE the kernel to use the new module somehow [21:14] rhombus: add the source repository, do a "sudo apt-get update", type "sudo apt-get build-dep packagename" to install the build-time dependencies, then do "sudo apt-get --build source packagename" [21:15] dulakian: build-essential? Can you point me to a docs URL? [21:15] uname -a [21:15] Linux Christian 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 22:56:21 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [21:15] is the latest hardy kernel [21:15] rhombus: Else they should have made it like depend on libc > 1.5 [21:15] ok magnetron , i want to try internet explorer 7, its located in my drive c (ntfs).. how to get start? what should i do 1st? [21:15] Tundrayeti312: my main question is: why on win i can run simple games,but on ubuntu i have problems becaause of 3d [21:15] !build-essential > rhombus (rhombus, see the private message from Ubotu) [21:15] Help please! :[ [21:15] rhombus, please see my private message [21:15] aaron_: no, it isn't. [21:15] how do I upgrade [21:15] !info linux | aaron_ [21:15] aaron_: linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component restricted, is optional.

[21:15] beejay77, because just like on windows, games do not run with 3d unless you install the proper video driver [21:16] I don't have it [21:16] balachmar: the system already has libc6 in it [21:16] unitedpotsmokers, you should find an installer file. everything in wine should be installed to the virtual C: drive that WIne makes [21:16] balachmar: but the package was built for intrepid, so it looks for intrepid version numbers [21:16] how do I proceed to enable them [21:16] rhombus: Well if it has the correct version it doesn't get installed twice [21:16] oh i see... [21:16] Tundrayeti312: but my card does not support 3d - phisically [21:16] what is the command to change a directory's permissions to 644? [21:16] balachmar: the odds of it not working are small -- or I wouldn't even be considering this as an option [21:17] Tundrayeti312: so in windows i do not have driver supporting hardware acceleration 3d [21:17] rhombus, you must build from source, packages having the same names does not mean they are compatible with whatever requires them [21:17] is there any way to figure out how much bandwidth different programs are using? === phantomcircuit_ is now known as phantomcircuit [21:17] rhombus: Then you could also compile it yourself [21:17] ??? [21:17] wait i have a installer.. so what i need is copy the install into wine folder?

[21:20] oh god a paste LYNCH MOB TIME [21:20] SkiddyFisk: ? === francesco is now known as Guest91127 [21:20] balachmar: thank you. [21:20] balz, you can't traverse directories if the execute bit isn't set on them [21:20] balz: you can't "ls", in other words [21:20] LjL: thanks for the links. i'm under the impression (been a while since i did C coding) that if i modify a header file, i need to rebuild any source files referencing that .h. given that this patch mods a single .h file in the drivers/usb/ dir, do i need to recompile the kernel image? or should make modules have me covered? [21:20] LjL: meaning the user is restricted to a single directory? [21:20] balz: execute on a directory allows something or someone to see inside the directory [21:20] beejay77: The driver for you card is probably a proprietary/binary/closed source one for windows that has all the functionality you need. People have written drivers for your card w/ some or almost the same functionality but can't know everything that the windows driver does, so you lose some functionaility... So you can try to install the binary driver in linux if it is an option [21:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/58029/ [21:21] genii: 664 allow them to write/edit [21:21] rhombus: Good luck! :) Most of the times it is doable, but sometimes compiling from source can be pretty hard... [21:21] genii: I think I may have a problem, my root partition and boot partition are separate [21:21] hey guys. does anyone know i can configure my soundcard for one of its connectors to act as output. right now when i installed ubuntu it just the basics.. where the green is main output and pink is microphone. but i got a 4 speaker system and need one of the connectors to act as an output too [21:21] magnetron, where are you.. [21:21] Tundrayeti312: what do you mean binary driver? [21:21] flugh: depends what exactly it patches, but to me it looks like you need to recompile the kernel [21:22] someone can help me to install IE7 using wine? [21:22] LjL, dulakian: i'm confused. I just created a new user and made his home directory on a separate drive... the X bit for directories is not enabled by default. will tihs be a problem? [21:22] Skyrail: Then when in chrooted old / mount the partition which is normally /boot into /boot again before running the apt-get install linux-image [21:22] beejay77: If you open the file it says " 101011010101011101010101" instead of readable code in C++ or whatever language [21:23] balz: it's like this: read means they can see the contents of the directory, execute means they can get into the directory [21:23] aaron_, you have the repositories correctly enabled. try typing "sudo apt-get update" and see if the update appears - otherwise, it might just be that your mirrors weren't yet updated. this kernel update was out just today. [21:23] balz: which execute bit wasn't set? [21:23] balz: not enabled for *who*? [21:23] genii: okay, so I've mounted / to /mnt/root, so I can just mount /boot/ to /boot/ and run it all? [21:23] balz: cuz if it's the other column, then it doesn't matter for that user [21:23] dulakian: right. the "add x to directories" isn't set [21:23] LjL: bleh, then that leads to a modified source tree/headers for everything else. the maker states 2.6.20+ doesn't need patching. i may just try to upgrade the kernel package, a build-from-source thing that was just being put into apt back when i floated away :) [21:23] beejay77: So there is no way to tell what is inside or what it does.. which makes it difficult for people who want to have/create drivers for the card in question [21:23] balz: what does "ls -l thatdirectory" say exactly [21:23] balz: there is 3 x bits [21:23] thank LjL [21:23] I see it [21:23] balz: what does "ls -l -d thatdirectory" say exactly (sorry, correction) [21:24] balz: there is x for owner, x for group, and x for other [21:24] do you think it will effect my 8800 GT NVIDIA card....I might have to install it again after the kernel update [21:24] how do i make a encrypted partition without too much trouble and back up the key someohow? [21:24] unitedpotsmokers try this http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Beta [21:24] beejay77: So you can either use the open source one w/ limited functionality or you can install the binary one from your card vendor ( this is normally the options ) [21:24] K3B eject to CD ,after K3B doesn't check writing data , [21:24] flugh: wait, if 2.6.20 doesn't need patching, then why would you need to do anything at all with the kernel? [21:24] Skyrail: If you are still in chroot then you can do like mount /dev/sdX# /boot like normal. If not chrooted then mount it to /mnt/root/boot or such === KenBW22 is now known as KenBW2 [21:25] dulakian: i understand that. I purposely disabled execute for user/group/other ... but there's a 4th option" enable X for directory" i'm wondering what that is? [21:25] genii: okay, cool stuff, I'll give it a try :) [21:25] thanks jadedoto [21:25] LjL: just a second for that command [21:25] balz: you are losing me, there is no 4th x bit [21:25] aaron_: if you installed its driver via unsupported means, then maybe. if you just used the restricted drivers manager, it shouldn't. [21:25] fiesty, i'm at 2.6.17 i think [21:25] K3B eject to CD ,but after K3B doesn't check writing data [21:25] balz: there are 3 r bits, 3 w bits and 3 x bits for any file [21:26] Whats wrong. I've tried to install ubuntu on 3 different harddisks... And there is always an error. Now the install stops while "configuring update manager". It just stops... Is probably not my hdd, what else can it be? My PSU ? [21:26] balz: X is not x [21:26] balz: X is for setting the x bit only on directories [21:26] LjL: oh maybe that's it. yeah it's X [21:26] LjL: drw-r--r-- 2 brunot brunot 1 2008-10-15 15:45 /media/500gb/brunot [21:26] not far from it. maybe they said 2.6.23, can't recall. i'll look into it though. maybe this weekend i can push up to 7.10. not enough bandwidth available now to get an upgrade done right now [21:27] hausha: maybe a defected installation cd. [21:27] you are correct....the restricted drivers manager actually worked but did not get the cards full capacity until using the one from NVIDIA [21:27] tobiasu: so what does setting the x bit only directories change? [21:27] Thanks so much LJL....you have been a great help [21:27] tul, I had the same thought... It may also be my cdrom... Does it excist a MD5 checksum file for the ubuntu iso? [21:28] balz: x bit on dir allows on to cd (change into) the dir if set for the proper user/group [21:28] rgreening: so why would a user's home directory not have xbit on dir enabled? [21:28] Sysinfo for 'qqq-desktop': Linux 2.6.24-21-generic running KDE 3.5.9, CPU: Intel(R)Pentium(R)4CPU2.60GHz at 2612 MHz (5229 bogomips), , RAM: 738/757MB, 116 proc's, 1.1h up [21:29] balz, with the directory set that way, nobody (included the owner) will be able to "ls" it [21:29] new kernel [21:29] rgreening: i set this user up manually with a custom home directory location so i want to be srue that he'll be able toa ccess it [21:29] properly [21:29] hausha: didnt rly understand the question.. [21:29] LjL: what's the diffference between ls and cd again? [21:29] balz: user should have x bit, bur group and world should be unset [21:29] balz, err, "ls" lists the contents of a directory, "cd" moves you to that directory - they're really pretty different [21:29] tul, is there a way to verify the ISO image I downloaded? [21:29] s/bur/but [21:29] !cli | balz [21:29] balz: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [21:30] ofcourse, md5 sum it. [21:30] balz, in other words, it's a terribly bad idea, unless you really know what you're doing, for a directory's owner not to have +x on it [21:30] genii: it gave me an error to writing to a paticular log, but besides that it looks like it worked, but is there anything I can check to see if it'll work before rebooting? [21:30] hausha: after that you could check cd itself at the bootine menu. [21:30] tul, yup doing it right now [21:31] LjL: okay so i guess i goofed up lol. How do I set the X bit to dir with the CLI? [21:31] Skyrail: See if initrd.img for a kernel exists in the chrooted /boot dir [21:31] baldur_, chmod u+x dir [21:31] hausha: i always burn it on slow speed to generate quality copy [21:31] LjL: wait disregard that last statement. [21:32] Salve a tutti [21:32] LjL: this user is only going to be using his home directory via sftp to back up files, so a lack of x bits shoulndn't be a problem right? [21:32] genii: yeh, two do, the old and the new, I presume it's right for all of the files (nearly all) to be -rw-r--r-- right? [21:33] balz, it is a problem, because sftp will try to chdir to the dir [21:33] Can meta tags be added to .mp4 ? If so is there program that support meta tagging for other contianer formats like , avi , ogg , mkv [21:33] Skyrail: Yes those are correct permissions [21:33] ciao a tutti [21:33] tui, the disc seems to be full of errors... sigh.. .burning a new copy ay 4x now :) [21:33] balz, and please be advised that an sftp user will also be able to ssh :) [21:33] !it | baldr [21:33] baldr: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [21:33] Ops sorry [21:34] Skyrail: You should be able now to select one of those initrd kernel versions from grub to boot the system into [21:34] I thought this was an italian one :) [21:34] genii: right, so I guess the final thing is to restart and cross my fingers [21:34] balz: maybe it wouldn't, not sure, but i really don't see why a directory owner shouldn't have +x on it... [21:34] Skyrail: Yup [21:34] joaopinto: yeah, this is all part of a very convoluted attempt to restrict a user to his home directory via sftp... i'm not doing so wel =) [21:34] hello is there any program like evernote for linux ? [21:34] or maybe onenote ? [21:34] Tundrayeti312: my card is sis650 and there is no vendor made driver for lin [21:35] any one in here using a anti virus program in ubuntu? [21:35] balz, use ftp with chroot :) [21:35] balz: use scponly shell and stick to sftp [21:36] balz, the proper way to restrict an user to a particular dir is using a chroot enabled service [21:36] blueeyez: no need for linux systems.) only to check windowze passthru traffic... [21:36] hey, how can I run an X (java) program as user "test", in the display belong to user "andresj"? [21:36] joaopinto: ftp can use chroot? i assumed it couldn't since sftp apparently can't do it very well [21:37] if i remember well, it gives an error of permissions [21:37] beejay77: That's unfortunate... You may need to buy a different card for full windows functionality on linux [21:37] yes, I'm using Norton AV [21:37] yes but im wondering if im in a windows network does the anti virus programs know of windows trojans? [21:37] balz, yes it can, if you use a chroot capable ftpd [21:37] andresj: make sure test is in andresj group. [21:37] joaopinto: can you suggest one? btw, ftpd is an ftp daemon, right? [21:37] baldur_, yes, pure-ftpd [21:38] ShinobiTeno: is that all? :O seems much easier that I thought it would have been! haha. and are there any side effects on that? [21:38] baldur_, you can even have virtual users, ftp users without a system account [21:38] ops, was balz [21:38] I'm trying to log into a Hardy gnome session without a monitor attached for testing. Will Login Automatically work with that setup? [21:38] having a problem with mysql-server-5.0 starting on boot by default, what init scripts should i be checking? [21:39] rab, /etc/init.d/mysql ? [21:39] I have a script that's supposed to run in the startup session, but it's not running. [21:39] can i read floppy disks that were formated on a pc with windows ? [21:39] joaopinto: okay thanks! just to be clear though, if i wanted to, i could restrict it to a user? [21:39] balz, yes [21:39] genii: failed to boot again :| [21:39] andresj: actually no. For every file, you add permissions for all,.. or add group permissions and put users into this group.. [21:39] joaopinto, i run that manually with sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start and all is fine ... just doesnt happen on startup ... what calls that on startup (im looking for that line)? [21:39] joaopinto: okay cool thank you so much [21:39] Ok. I have an apache webserver running and it's sharing /var/www/ and I want /www/ to link to my desktop, so I shade my desktop. How do I link those directories? [21:39] thanks to everyone who helped! sorry i'm so n00bish today! [21:40] Tundrayeti312: for laptop? that is my problem,but thanks anyway,i was just wondering is there any solution [21:40] ShinobiTeno: what? I have no idea what you're talking about... lol. I am in display :0 as andresj. I want to run a program as user test, in this same display. [21:40] rab, have you checked /var/log/daemon.log ? [21:41] ShinobiTeno: (inside the pogram, only files belonging to test would be writable, etc.) [21:41] beejay77: double-bummer.... good news is there are some really cheap linux laptops u can buy these days [21:41] andresj, you do not need touch groups to do that, it's just a matter of setting the DISPLAY session [21:41] andresj: well, i dont know that specific things) but UNIX permissions work that way) [21:41] hi. i just installed ubuntu 8.04 desktop last night. today i am trying to configure the network connection because i am not getting any internet. My desktop is connected to an ethernet cable to a router. the router is connected to the cable modem box through another ether cable. the cable modem box is connected with a dsl cable from the wall. I am on my macbook that is connected wirelessly. i want to set up my network conne [21:41] and assigning acces from the X running session, with xhost + [21:42] Why does only one floppy drive show in ubuntu when i have two installed ? [21:42] ShinobiTeno, he is not asking about permissiones, he is asking about exporting a graphical window [21:42] yes, exactly, that's what I wanted to know, joaopinto, how do i do that? [21:43] andresj, on the X session, open a terminal and: xhost + or safer, xhost +IP [21:43] to set the output display, just export DISPLAY=display_ip:0 (or whatever display nr is used), and run the app [21:43] joaopinto, ah nice i see an error condition after doing a cat /var/log/daemon.log | grep mysql ... i get unable to bind to 3306 [21:43] joaopinto: will xhost +test@localhost work? [21:43] hi. i just installed ubuntu 8.04 desktop last night. today i am trying to configure the network connection because i am not getting any internet.

I am on my macbook that is connected wirelessly. i want to set up my network conne [21:43] rab, ;) [21:44] joaopinto, the question is why tho what else would be bound to that tcp/ip port on a clean startup? [21:44] does anyone know any good tips for debugging a hardlock that doesnt even respond to sysrq? [21:44] Tundrayeti312: ;) i do not want ot buy new laptop, but there was driver for my card madeby sis for redhat in 2002 and i guess it wasopensource, so actual driver for ubuntu is based on that [21:44] i installed ubuntu using crypt encryption. If someone steals my PC, will they be able to access my Ubuntu? [21:44] LJL: thanks for the assistance, going to afk and piddle with git [21:44] rab, nothing [21:44] upgraded to the latest kernel....my Nvidia Card not working and the latest kernel Linux Christian 2.6.24-21-generic did not fix my drive....arg [21:44] !crypt [21:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about crypt [21:44] wall-e: how do you want to cnnect?

Recently, my computer has started acting up. It'll freeze up at random when I'm trying to load an unusually busy webpage. Like Yahoo Finance with its constant stock ticker updating. Or when I have need to visit a MySpace page. Is there any way I can diagnose this? It's quite annoying. It hasn't happened before, and I built this computer quite a while ago. It's a quad core, four gigs of RAM... It's definitely not too slow to handle these pages [21:45] :S Please help, thanks :) [21:45] aaron_, try loading with old kernel? [21:45] wall-e: plug n play i should think [21:45] i am not trying to connect through wifi. i want to be connected directly [21:46] Skyrail: Did you hit ESC at grub prompt and then choose from the list given the kernel name which matched one of the initrd names you saw in the /boot directory? [21:46] plug and play? that sounds vague kenbw2 [21:46] aaron_, what exactly is the kernel Linux Christian ? [21:46] wall-e: did you try to check network settings under system? [21:46] wall-e: as in plug it in and it should work [21:46] its the latest one [21:46] for Hardy [21:46] ortsvorsteher i am not sure where to look for and what to look out for [21:46] aaron_, theres a Christian version? [21:46] no no [21:47] thats the name of my system [21:47] rab, sudo fuser -n tcp 3306 [21:47] wall-e: try click on system, then on the second end then on network [21:47] lisa_: Ther is however. Ubuntu CE [21:47] ok then? [21:47] rab, starting mysql on rc.local is not a solution, you need to find what is binded to that port [21:47] can we talk in pm ortsvorsteher [21:47] genii, ok ty, [21:47] or, you have the wrong IP address set on the mysql conf ?

[22:52] mcquaid: no the install script, the dep package tried to download from an ftp sire that was not working [22:53] woddf2, this will tell you what you need to install with the kde core package. if you installed the kubuntu package then you probably won't have to do much. just type 'sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop' [22:53] ttyl [22:53] spmccann, hmm, the deb installed fine for me. i didn't chose apt. i chose the deb and manually installed without issue. it just doesn't work === alberto is now known as Guest6352 [22:55] i'm italian and have some trouble understand what -d, --home HOME_DIR in USERMOD MAN do...can someone help me understand?

[23:02] conf? [23:02] hello [23:02] (same ati radeon graphics card now as before.) [23:02] is there any body in there? [23:03] jvm: try updating the drivers for the radeon? [23:04] mcquaid: check you got the path right i had to do the same [23:04] redbox, i never deinstalled them or something, and everything was set up fine automatically by ubuntu previously.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [23:04] IRONHIDE: the processor might struggle some with the effects once you do get them running. i can tell you this though: i have a setup with a AMD Athlon XP 2000+, 1 GB ram, and an okay-ish *not* integrated graphics card, and it runs the basic effects just fine [23:05] ok [23:05] where do i find teh options for how my gnome handles resizing?

[23:06] IRONHIDE: yeah, sorry i couldn't do more [23:06] well thank you very much bro [23:06] i hope you get your stuff working! :) good luck [23:06] thanks bro [23:06] jvm: most likely the radeon drivers were uninstalled during the nvidia install. you may need to install xserver-xorg-video-ati [23:06] IRONHIDE: np [23:06] "quit" [23:06] what type of modem is it, dsl or dial-up [23:06] do you know a ubuntu 64bit will work on a macbook..?

[23:14] siloko: Are you counting the different X11 displays? [23:14] siloko: because there is the ssh user, and the one you're logged in from locally? [23:15] * ARCKEDA probably has no idea as to waht he is talking about. [23:15] LjL: i was hoping to bind it to ctrl+ctrl to switch between them [23:15] there is no local login [23:15] the UI doesnt work either [23:15] i select "USA Dvorak" and it doesnt do anything [23:15] noone is logged in locally - there is no X11 session - just the ssh session [23:15] bnovc, well i use KDE, and i can certainly switch layout using a shortcut (not sure ctrl+ctrl would work though), i'm not sure about gnome but it should be very much possible [23:15] !layout | bnovc [23:15] bnovc: To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts [23:16] that's what i did [23:16] setxkbmap -layout dvorak,us -option grp:ctrls_toggle is what i had originally tried to no avail [23:16] if i logout of my ssh session and login directly to the machine it just shows one user - it seems that the ssh session is spawning two users . . . [23:17] is there a solution similar to GoToAssist (desktop sharing) that I can run myself for our customers? I'm looking for a oneclick install solution that does desktop sharing over HTTP [23:17] siloko: well, what does "who" say exactly? the terminal name might give a hint [23:17] to see/control the customers PC [23:17] LjL: The who command only lists one user - me via ssh [23:18] i install all the 7zip packages along with squeeze which is supposed to suport 7zip, but its not working. any ideas? [23:18] urthmover: what do you mean by desktop sharing? [23:18] LjL: but above the list along with uptime - it says two users just before the load average stats [23:18] siloko: err, then what was saying there were two? [23:18] ey Ive been using ubuntu for a while, I want to give atry to xfce if I move to xfce all the programs will still work? [23:18] siloko: ah, i see, with uptime... [23:18] urthmover: perhaps vnc could be useful if you just want to be able to remote control their pcs [23:18] ljL: or 'w' :) [23:18] attickid: they should all still work fine xfce comes with glibs i think [23:19] attickid: so all the gnome programs should be fine [23:19] amrik: I want to run my own gotoassist/webex solution [23:19] I want to take a "Snapshot" of my system . . . all updates, patches, installed programs, program settings, etc, etc . . . what is the quickest & most effcient way of doing this?

[23:19] i am stuck in a non-QWERTY and non-dvorak layout now and all i have listed is USA [23:19] ubuntu_todd: what laptop do you have? [23:19] ljl: I have checked out ps aux but nothing obvious . . . [23:19] amrik: thoughts? [23:20] Thinkpad T400 [23:20] urthmover: are you familiar with vnc? because i am not familiar with gotoassist and i want to see how much in common we have here so i can help [23:20] ubuntu_todd: are you using the alternate install disc? [23:20] But I can do that in my dell laptop [23:20] the one I download from ubuntu website [23:20] guys i hate this! i need to configure my network connection. anytime i type website, it takes time to load. [23:20] i tried pinging in terminal [23:21] and it responds back with unknown host [23:21] what can i do ? === dmsuperm2n is now known as dmsuperman [23:21] yea, it might be the CLI install disc [23:21] I can use that one working in my dell laptop before.

I want something VERY easy for the customer to just click on a webpage and through HTTP (any firewalls) I have control over the system or at least just view [23:21] ubuntu_todd: oh [23:21] No. It is not. [23:21] i have two network devices. one is wired connected to my router. but it doesnt work fine. browser dont get google.com [23:21] ubuntu_todd: what happens when you run the disc? [23:21] siloko: so "w" says 2 or 1? [23:21] wall-e: Other than your movie being great . . . can you ping the gateway? [23:21] how misteralexander? [23:22] amrik: I want vnc functionality without having to forward ports on a customers system [23:22] urthmover: hmm i see. i know tightvnc can be used with a web interface but that runs on a different port and might need forwarding [23:22] ljl: w lists the same as who i.e. one user but says two users next to the uptime stats [23:22] display at low quality [23:22] misteralexander how can i ping the gateway [23:22] ubuntu_todd: you should wait until 8.10 is released [23:22] I cannot get to the laptop [23:22] Anyone know why I get this when using dvdrip? STDIN player command: xine not found : NOT Ok [23:22] anybody has a clue why simple games and apps are sllugish on ubuntu and no problems on win? i have sis650 graphic card [23:22] I like 8.04 [23:22] wall-e: going into your network utility (System > Admin > Network Tools) and choose the tab "Ping" [23:23] ubuntu_todd: what's the last thing that appears on the screen [23:23] command mode [23:23] ok and then what misteralexander? [23:23] wall-e: using your wired connection, type in -- 192.168.0.1 [23:23] ubuntu@ubuntu: [23:23] ljl when I say lists I mean it just shows details of my ssh login even though it says 2 users . . . [23:23] and hit "Ping". === maco_ is now known as maco [23:24] ubuntu_todd: thats strange [23:24] ubuntu_todd: theres the gdm you need to load, lemme find the command [23:24] urthmover: your customers are windows or linux based? [23:24] I can use alt+F7 to back to my desktop. But it doesn't work in my T400 [23:24] siloko: well, i really don't know. i can only confirm that, here, ssh doesn't generate more than one user === alberto is now known as Guest34289 [23:24] wall-e: What happens? It shouldn't take THAT long. [23:25] nothing happened [23:25] it sent [23:25] ljl i'm connecting via an unpriviledged port - i wonder if that affects anything . . . [23:25] but nothing received [23:25] it says packet transmitted [23:25] ubuntu_todd: try /etc/init.d/gdm start [23:25] wall-e: Okay, it couldn't ping the gateway, which usually means your router isn't configured correctly. Your signal isn't getting to the internet, because your computer can't even talk to your router. [23:26] ok can i pm u? [23:26] tmsnc sais "protocols don't match". Is there anything I can do about that? Has anyone got a suggestion for an alternative terminal-based msn-client? [23:26] yeah. [23:26] ljl the wierd thing is if i login to the box and ssh into the box it still only says two users, listing them both, but when i logout of the box and keep the ssh session it lists only the ssh user but still says 2 users - wierd [23:26] finch? [23:27] how do I discard stderr and stdout in the bash? command 2>&1 /dev/null ? [23:27] KenBW2: You are genius. It works!!!!

We can read lowercase too.

[23:28] BlueEagle: not sure what you have tried before, centerim works quite well for me [23:29] what's the new STA wireless drivers? [23:29] Helminthe: I did try one way back when, but I've not used any of them in a while. [23:29] Does Kubuntu 7.04 have a built in utility for mounting .iso files? If it does, would it be viable to install an OS from the mounted image? [23:29] Helminthe: I'll try it. Thanks for the suggestion. :) [23:30] witam [23:30] new kernel has lost my sound? can any1 help?

[23:30] already there, but that old one was crashing a lot [23:31] peer`: You can mount an .iso-file just as you mount any other filesystem. What you want is to specify the type as iso9660 and the option as loop. That will give you mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/image.iso /path/to/mountpoint [23:31] how to run a single long command in terminal. I mean I wanner continue my command in the next line [23:31] have it in grub to use, but had to do a lot of hard resets...so unsure whether that way to go [23:31] jclift26: debugging kernel drivers is a tedious task, you will be better of submitting a bug report in launchpad [23:31] peer`: You can mount it to where linux usually sees cd-drives and linux won't know the difference. [23:31] ok what info do i need there? [23:32] how to completely remove kubuntu-desktop ? [23:32] hey, im trying to compile and link against some boost libraries (-lboost_regex), which only seems to work if i specify the full library filename. can I prevent this and instead just use -lboost_regex? [23:32] ubuntu_todd: try putting a backslash \ and pressing enter to continue [23:33] ubuntu_todd: so command arg1 arg2 \ [enter] arg3 arg4 \ [enter] arg5 would expand to command arg1 ... arg5 [23:33] for the sake of updating kubuntu to 8.04 with a new install and partitioning the drive for a dual boot with winxp as the second OS, what should I do? Currently I have a 35gb root partition and a 5gb swap, both linux parted. Should I just burn the iso to a CD (which I can do here), format/install XP, then in the remaining partition, install 8.04? [23:33] jclift26: just go to bugs.launchpad.net and start a new thread/issue providing as much information as you can [23:33] can you use a remote DVD drive using NFS?

[23:40] I dont think there is such a thing as a good torrent client [23:40] thinkmassive, I used transmission, didn't like ti much. Anything good and not blocked by torrent sites. [23:40] and is there a window switcher panel applet that uses only icons, not text? [23:41] cyban , What i mean by good is simple to use, option for feeds, using less memory etc. === danopia_ is now known as danopia [23:42] dont like the default bittorrent? [23:42] hi [23:43] azhar27: for feeds support, you might be stuck with azureus. this rules out the "low resources" requirement [23:44] Helminthe , totally, azerues is a resource hog.

So finally I got capisuite to work with fcpci....But when sending a fax, I see in capisuite.error "controller doesnt support fax-services". Is that true ? - the pre-installed driver doesnt support faxing ? [23:47] ad_, boot with the old kernel, then do sudo grub-install [23:47] And how can I change that ? [23:47] what wil that do [23:47] hey, there were updates this morning that caused my isight webcam to stop working, i've reinstalled the firmware, but no luck... any help? [23:47] ad_, that will reinstall grub on your hd [23:48] what if that messes up y old kjernel too [23:48] Helminthe , ya, but how come we Ubuntu users still don't have a good replacment for utorrent, i am kinda curious. [23:48] then i wont be able to boot [23:48] grub is the tool that manages your installed kernels [23:48] weird, 64bit Ubuntu wont find my WiFi card but 32bit will...... [23:48] if i reinstall grub can i still boot my old kernels === kc8pxy__ is now known as kc8pxy [23:49] cyban: Thats pretty common [23:49] azhar27: there are at least a dozen very good replacements for utorrent in linux. you asked for something else, the most important part being "not blocked by whoever hosts my torrents" [23:49] if I would want to start a project to improve ubuntu [23:49] I would want to start a project to improve ubuntu. how to? [23:50] the aim would be to 1) write more examples for man pages; 2) perhaps invent some separate man-page-alike things [23:50] Grey_Loki> kubuntu-desktop is one package. and kde their lot, how to remove all the packages kde? [23:51] ad_, when you run grun-install, it installs all available kernels, that means your old kernel + new kernels [23:51] Helminthe , yup. Thanks anyway. Will stick with utorrent on wine :) [23:51] ya not enough 64 bit drivers [23:53] PEAKTOP, sorry, I thought kubuntu-desktop was a generic package you could use instead of worrying about all the individual packages within the Kubuntu desktop. I don't know the answer to your question - perhaps the people in #kubuntu could help? [23:54] * dr_Willis missed the question. [23:54] Im in #kubuntu also. :) ask in there.
