[00:18] blackkatt, yes [00:18] Schmitty--> linux is not confused, perhaps your script is ? [00:18] as I said, you have to troubleshoot why it messed up:( [00:19] special configuration?

[00:21] dli: im sorry, i just dont get what you mean [00:21] blahblahx, how gdm messed up. many reasons. hard to troubleshoot, but we can try step by step [00:21] amenado: what do you mean by escape the charaters [00:21] dli: i would love to try that if you had the time. [00:22] Schmitty--> use of \ to escape [00:22] Schmitty, try the -- way then... cd -- -=blea=- [00:22] blahblahx, try to check whether you have any error message in /var/log/gdm/ [00:22] blahblahx, for the time being, the same command should fix xauth, try it again [00:22] Schmitty, or try both cd -- '-=blea=-' [00:23] dli: oh yeah i already did it again, so im fine for this session [00:23] blahblahx, "sudo ps fx|grep X" to find X command line, find xauth cookie file [00:23] dli: wait let me check the gdm errors first.

I belive is how ive seen it explained [00:24] maybe, gdm complained [00:24] Schmitty--> a hint for you would be to look into getopt and getopts [00:24] dli: you mean the gdm logs?

[00:26] Stargazer: somethink like kill -9 pid_process as root [00:26] geenome: you know, unless you are against it, you can just install codecs to play mp3 in linux [00:26] geenome: you dont have to convert everything [00:26] Stargazer: killp totem [00:26] or killd totem [00:26] not against it but I have wanted to do everything to ogg for a while [00:27] blahblahx--> to find out your current X screen type xdpyinfo and find display name [00:27] just want to know if there is some command I can type before I leave for work then come back to a complete library of OGG [00:27] one of them must be correct [00:27] amenado: what?

[01:17] Perezz, I've always heard Intel are THE KINGS O LINUX SUPPORT as far as drivers in linux go. You sure there's no native drivers for it so you can dump NDISWrapper?

I think the reason its asking if you want to replace is because it can detect that you manually edited it. Make the backup copy to save your edits [01:30] jrib: thanks [01:30] naknomik: sorry, doesn't seem to have hit -backports yet. So you have two options. 1) the easier, safer option: wait for it to hit -backports. 2) The harder option: download the tar.gz and use nsplugwrapper yourself [01:30] danbh_intrepid: aahh too late lol [01:30] grim76: when i'm done configuring, can I pastebin my conf file and have you give it a quick look-over?

[01:31] linkmaster03: you don't have permissions for that file [01:31] balz: sure I will look at it. [01:31] thanks [01:32] fenerli7: how do I change that [01:32] fenerli7: linux-image-* is old kernel versions. Keep the latest one at least of course [01:32] linkmaster03: do you think you are supposed to have permissions for that file/directory? [01:32] fenerli7: it's on my user desktop [01:32] jrib: just a straight forward delete is okay? [01:32] fenerli7: it's a package. Use a package manager [01:33] blahblahx, you have to do gdm debug then :( [01:33] grim76: I'm a bit confused. by default anybody can download off of the ftp server, but only users with accounts on the server can upload? [01:33] dli_: will you be here in an hour? i have to do some work now [01:33] dli_: if not, ill see you tomorrow [01:33] hi [01:33] balz: That would be correct that is why you have to change the conf file to match what you need. [01:33] linkmaster03: from a terminal, sudo chown yourusername:yourusername /home/yourusername/Desktop/filewithlock [01:34] blahblahx, no, I will be gone, sorry [01:34] blahblahx, I have a work around [01:34] fenerli7: thanks [01:34] grim76: okay. i just wasn't clear on what the default entailed... [01:34] blahblahx, you use "startx" to start session, /etc/rc.local [01:34] jrib: duh, that sure was a stupid moment, thanks for pointing that out [01:34] dli_: wait how do i prevent gdm from starting? [01:34] balz: That is why you start with the defaults and then change them to suit your needs. [01:35] blahblahx, update-rc.d -f gdm remove [01:35] hey [01:35] blahblahx: dli_ is correct. See this for more info: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start [01:36] blahblahx, to startx by default, add one line in /etc/rc.local: /bin/su olpc -l -c "cd /home/dli;startx" [01:36] dli_: wait cant i use your other workaround? [01:37] dli_: that xauth command? [01:37] Hi! I am trying to set-up dual-view on my 1080p hdtv (hi-res) and a normal 17" monitor, nvidia-settings isn't working properly. Here is a copy of my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/58112/ [01:37] blahblahx, /bin/su olpc -l -c "cd /home/olpc;startx" [01:37] jrib: how do i make sure after using the generation script it is in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [01:37] blahblahx, two parts, xauth nlist and xauth nmerge [01:38] dli_: right can i do that other two part command as my workaround for now? [01:38] grim76: chroot-ing a user means he will only have access to his home directory, correct? [01:38] blahblahx, no, I think the workaround would be startx, without using gdm [01:38] dli_: even though the other command works? [01:39] balz: depends on your other settings. You can setup a dedicated root and then chroot people in there. The options are all in the man page. [01:39] blahblahx, no, you need Xserver be up to use the command [01:39] blahblahx, I feel you can get rid of gdm issue, just use startx, I don't use gdm [01:39] well i used it from the terminal after i failed to login from gdm last time [01:39] dli_: yeah but i want to use it [01:40] dli_: the session changing is the best for me [01:40] blahblahx, you can easily change ~/.xinitrc [01:40] balz: Read through the man page and pick the options that you need. Add them or change them, and then move from there. [01:41] anyone know how i can view the index of a website? like showing its pages and folder hierarchy [01:41] dli_: i think im actually going to reinstall tomorrow (i havent changed anything in the original install that i want to keep) [01:41] konqueror? [01:41] What exactly is /var/cache/apt/archives/ for? [01:41] blahblahx, then, just do it. hard to guess [01:41] when i define an alias, can i reload the config and use the defined alias without having to logout/login? if yes, how? [01:42] dli_: yeah its hard to solve the problem, and i wont lose anything [01:42] dli_: well see ya later [01:43] can i run ubuntu whith a pentium 3 procesor 512 mb of ram and 40gb with no problems [01:44] blahblahx: umm, you download a bunch of debs on one machine right? Then when you copy them to the other machine, you put them in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [01:44] How do I give my user access to usbfs? [01:44] blak: umm, you download a bunch of debs on one machine right? Then when you copy them to the other machine, you put them in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [01:44] blahblahx: sorry [01:44] does anyone know if there is a channel for ?'s about everydns [01:44] jrib: oh ok i got it... so do wget ... put the packages into that folder and synaptics wont have to d/l them they will already be there [01:44] IRONHIDE, no problem [01:44] jrib: do i have that correct?

As for what's wrong, I detailed the problem here, if anyone would care to take a look.... http://pastebin.com/maa708c7 [01:49] I just felt 22 updates seemed lik ea lot and i know the linux headers and image etc. is ver important.. didnt want to have some error in my update lists or something... seemed like i just downloaded those when i installed ubuntu recently [01:49] blak: yes. [01:49] crimsun: and jrib: thanks so much [01:50] what's a good program for mounting iso files ? [01:50] danbh_intrepid: thanx, i haven't hard problems with intrepid beta, i can't load properly gnome without freeze after GDM [01:51] #ubuntu-us-fl [01:51] danbh_intrepid: and i can only use recovery gnome, or kde [01:51] does anyone know if there is a channel for ?'s about everydns [01:51] is it going to be chaos when Intrepid is officially released, or is it pretty much working great for people by now? [01:53] darkhamm: well, you should bring discussion of intrepid to #ubuntu+1 [01:53] So this linux-restricted-modules update of 18.6 MB .. why is there so much extra being added exactly? seems like a lot [01:54] hallo.

[01:56] nobody answers me in the florida room === GM-Cosmo_PW is now known as Cosmo18 [01:56] blak: yeah, its not like windows, where only the changes are downloaded yet. In the linux world, things just get reinstalled. There are hopes that that changes one day... but so far, no one has implemented that [01:57] somebody from orlando florida here [01:57] ahhh i see [01:57] any desktop recording apps out there for ubuntu that don't suck?

[01:57] danbh_intrepid: thanks so much for that info, i was really confused by that... so everything is always uninstalld and fresh new install of updated files or it is just installed first time with latest [01:58] Hello.

You can also use #ubuntu-offtopic [01:59] How do I know if I have a firewall running on Ubuntu Hardy? Thanks [01:59] ok my bad [01:59] AllNewToMe: you have one by default with no rules defined. [01:59] blak: have you ever edited menu.lst manually? If so, I would back it up before having it replaced [01:59] If I have formated over a fat32 partition (but didn't write any new data to the drive.) what's my best method for recovering the data? [01:59] AllNewToMe: iptables -L [02:00] yes i have edited it [02:00] Ok I will back it up [02:00] AllNewToMe--> sudo iptables -vL .. unless you have rules, the default is no rules [02:00] can someone help with everydns [02:00] * Bladesman recommends the arno-iptables package. === fReAky_t is now known as freaky[t] [02:01] hello?

(I dont know anything about everydns btw, I'm just curious) [02:01] I get "iptables unknown argument -l" [02:01] AllNewToMe: linux is case-sensitive [02:01] i can´t acess the torrentbytes page anymore [02:01] Didja use a capitol L? [02:01] just got done installing ubuntu on my laptop, but now my computer constantly running the fan and is getting hot..help [02:01] could you help me? [02:01] Yes, I know. [02:02] AllNewToMe: the command given to you had a "-L", not a "-l" [02:02] Yes [02:02] danbh_intrepid: thank you so much for your help on all these issues! [02:03] iptables -L will list the policies.

[02:03] anyone who can help me got some problems with adobeflashplayer and ubuntu :) [02:04] Using the right command gives me information. [02:04] AllNewToMe: Try the arno-iptables package.

[02:04] danbh_intrepid: so is it normal now that this wants me to restart? [02:04] I just want to it to work and not block my network. [02:04] danbh_intrepid: this update i guess that occured to proper in the past day or so? [02:05] blak: yes [02:05] AllNewToMe: pastebin the output you got from iptables -L [02:05] I frequently just get the loading screen of evince when opeing pdfs from firefox. (not using mozplugger) Downloading the pdf to disk then opening with evince works as expected. [02:05] danbh_intrepid: ok thanks, rebootin i guess then :P thank you and good night :P [02:05] danbh_intrepid: Mac OS (extended) journaled [02:05] danbh_intrepid: oh yea, this is because it effects the kernel right... nothing else ever requires reboot right? [02:06] can anyone help me acess the torrentbytes site? [02:06] How do I "pastebin"? [02:06] !pastebin | AllNewToMe [02:06] AllNewToMe: 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) [02:07] blak: incorrect, other things can trigger the request for a reboot. But, I don't know much about which really need a reboot, and which don't. I generally just reboot [02:07] danbh_intrepid: Mac OS (extended) journaled, But I haven't written any new data to the drive (other than the data the HFS+ writes) [02:07] danbh_intrepid: oh ok thanks then, and goodnight for real this time :P [02:07] danbh_inrepid: I've used dd_rescue to recover data from a drive but that was when I accidentally pulled the plug on an external while it was reading [02:08] * Bladesman tries puzzling out the exim4 docs, trying to get SSL running for gmail. [02:08] DINK_: well, I have no idea, but here is a guess. Reformat back to fat32, (of course, doing the light format, not the low level one) and then use a tool thats designed for fat32 partitions === brandon__ is now known as Brittany [02:09] danbh_intrepid: any direction you can point me in for fat32 recovery (I've been googling) [02:09] danbh_intrepid: could I use dd_rescue in that case? === freaky[t] is now known as fReAky_t [02:10] DINK_: well, the last time I checked into that, I was using windows, and there are tools out there for windows... but again, I really don't know. dd_rescue seems harmless enough, as long as you are copying to a different partition/harddrive [02:11] here is the output as requested. http://paste.ubuntu.com/58130/ [02:11] So, I have this perennial problem on my system because I made my /boot partition too small: I have barely enough room to store two kernels at the same time, but if I try to uninstall one of the kernels, it runs out of space in the middle of the uninstall. [02:12] In particular, I end up with (right now) linux-image-2.6.24-19-server successfully uninstalled, but it dies in the middle of that process, leaving linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-server still installed. === nester_ is now known as Rubik [02:12] can someone help with everydns [02:12] Sorry, lost my internet connection!! [02:12] And I can't remove linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-server, because it apparently needs to have linux-image-2.6.24-19-server installed to remove linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-server. === emma is now known as joe-the-plumber [02:12] trimeta: a hackaround would be to mv the initrd*.bak to /var/tmp/ === joe-the-plumber is now known as emma [02:13] rm -rf /lib/modules/kernalmodulesdirectory? === Rubik is now known as Jagger|Jack [02:13] crimsun: I'll try to remember that for the future, but right now is there a way to force it to remove linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-server without complaining that the relevant kernel isn't installed? And just wiping the modules directory won't make apt know it's not installed. === Jagger|Jack is now known as Rubik [02:14] * Bladesman would repartition the drive. Bugrit. [02:15] danbh_intrepid: http://www.linux.com/articles/56588 I found the preceeding link helpful (if anyone if looking for similar hard drive recovery topics) [02:15] Will be an unending PITA, otherwise. [02:15] I mean, it's really annoying when it tries to get a copy of the /boot/System.map-2.6.24-19-server file, which no longer exists, just so it can remove something I don't want anyway. [02:15] Has anyone else had trouble with fglrx after todays kernel update? [02:15] trimeta: can you pastebin the error? === Rubik is now known as Jagger|Jack === Jagger|Jack is now known as Rubik [02:15] Did anyone see my pastebin? Thanks [02:16] trimeta: If your root filesystem is in a regular partition, then you can just stop using /boot. [02:16] DINK_: interesting, maybe I'll add that to help.ubuntu.com [02:16] dajhorn: It (my main filesystem) is on one system, but it's an LVM on another.

[02:17] trimeta: just touch the nonexistent file [02:17] AllNewToMe: you have no iptables rules. What exactly the issue you are having that you think a firewall is to blame?

[02:20] how do i find out the ip address of my ubuntu box? [02:20] AllNewToMe, you install samba? [02:20] redwhitewaldo: ifconfig for your local one, or whatismyip.org for your internet one [02:20] jrib: thanks [02:21] telling you guys.. use XDMCP to remote control a server is a nightmare for the network card [02:21] [02:21] someone here assisting in the movie ubuntu [02:21] redwhitewaldo: Click System ->Administration -> Network Tools and choose your network interface. [02:21] so many trafics [02:22] jrib, I cant send see the Windows machine from my Ubuntu machine nor can I see my Ubuntu machine from Windows. So there is no network communication between the two.

[02:22] AllNewToMe: you need to explain exactly what you are doing. Again, you are saying "see". I don't know what you are doing when you say that [02:23] DigitalFiz: Yes, samba is installed and works perfectly with other machines on the network.

[02:25] i have make the install medi ubuntu repository first [02:26] jrib, well I just recently installed the envy drivers [02:26] jrib, after the kernel upgrade [02:26] jrib, from the repository...

When I delete xorg.conf and let it configure my resolution comes back to normal, but glx still does not work [02:32] woddf2: That one should use the emu10k2 driver [02:32] Where do I get that?

If that fails, try purging and then installing again [02:34] dr_willis: The one box I have with a SB Live! 24 also did not need any special attention to work [02:34] jrib, I tried the normal drivers as well with no difference though [02:34] What are the commands to burn an ISO please?

[02:45] HELP [02:45] if i had a whole bunch of folders called xyz.com how could i zip them all at once and ignore all folders that don't end in '.com' ? i tried zip -r *.com test.zip but it didnt work [02:45] I'm officially in a panic now [02:45] after doing something really stupid [02:45] !ask | TD-Linux [02:45] TD-Linux: 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. :-) [02:45] I killed my partition table [02:45] I just want to say how FRESH and CLEAN the new Kubuntu is [02:46] and bang [02:46] and its supports my card now:) I LOVE UBUNTU [02:46] 60GB of data, as well as my restore partition, GONE [02:46] !enter | TD-Linux [02:46] TD-Linux: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[02:46] so, my question is, how can I find where the two partitions (ext3 and fat) are, and rebuild the partition table to point to them? [02:46] is upgrading from feisty up to HH alright? or should I do a fresh install [02:47] !sound > woddf2 [02:47] woddf2, please see my private message [02:47] don_jr_KS: you need to do Feisty -> Gutsy -> Hardy [02:47] !upgrade > don_jr_KS [02:47] don_jr_KS, please see my private message [02:47] so how can i edit my laptop's sources.list from my desktop box ? [02:47] jrib right, It's upgrading to Gusty now...but wasn't sure if that's an okay way to go? or if new install would be a more stable way to handle it [02:47] since I'm using ubuntu ultimate, will the upgrade work out? [02:47] don_jr_KS: either is fine. I have no idea about ultimate [02:47] is there a channel to talk about 810? [02:47] anybody know a good IRC channel appropriate for programming-type questions? In particular, I had an autoconf question. [02:48] ok thanks [02:48] don_jr_KS, well, if nothing else, only installing one OS insted of two would seem to save a lot of time.... [02:48] swegner--> perhaps #c for make and automake and autoconf related topics [02:49] amenado: great, thanks [02:49] Geoffrey2 I only want one OS, but for some reason my DVD burner isn't working right [02:49] in 'computer' it shows it's a DVD/CD writer, but when I right click the ISO and tell it to write, it doesn't [02:49] Flynsarmy: isn't -r recursive? [02:49] TD-Linux, get testdisk and try that [02:49] jrib, yes. all the .com's are folders [02:50] Flynsarmy: and you want to zip all the .com or ignore all the .com? [02:50] jrib, i want it to zip all .com folders in current directory and ignore all other folders/files. basically anything with '.com' in its name [02:50] grim76: if you're still there, here's my vsftpd.conf file ... I think it's right. [02:51] grim76: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58139/ [02:51] Flynsarmy: zip -r name *.com should work, but I don't really use zip [02:51] How do I check what the settings are for my power back up shut down settings? === PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid [02:51] balz: Are you wanting people to upload to your ftp? [02:52] onx, I'm using gpart right now [02:52] what's the executable name for testdisk? [02:52] grim76: yes, but only users who have accounts on my machine, and only to their home folders [02:52] I installed it but can't figure out how to run it :( [02:52] balz: ok that looks like it should work. [02:52] currently, gpart has found the two partitions that do exist [02:52] TD-Linux, testdisk is the executable name. don't touch gparted for now [02:52] * TD-Linux crosses his fingers... and nearly breaks them [02:52] gpart, not gparted [02:52] grim76: no security problems as far as you can tell? Also, is there a way to ban certain users from ftp? [02:53] TD-Linux, ah ok [02:53] balz: There is but I have not had to do that in a while. [02:53] I'll cancel it and use testdisk [02:53] I have an APC power back up hooked up to the serial port of the computer, I would like to know how I find out if HH knows it is connected and what action it will take [02:53] jrib: thanks [02:53] grim76: oh and just to be clear: the chroot jail only applies to FTP, right? a user seated at the terminal can still work with other files? [02:53] grim76: okay i'll google that lol thanks [02:53] hi all [02:53] I've been given a CD that works fine on a WindowsXP computer, but on my Ubuntu computer I get: "Cannot mount volume. Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'." Is there a way around this? [02:53] alright running testdisk now, it was in /usr/sbin [02:53] balz: Yes it only apples to the ftp and not ssh connections as well. [02:54] note I'm using a fedora live cd, though the system I just lost is ubuntu === adrian_ is now known as lordars [02:54] grim76: i don't have to uncomment "write_enable" do i?

[02:55] I have an APC power back up hooked up to the serial port of the computer, I would like to know how I find out if HH knows it is connected and what action it will take [02:55] grim76: ah okay. Well i'll fire it up and test it out. thanks very much! [02:57] I have an APC power back up hooked up to the serial port of the computer, I would like to know how I find out if HH knows it is connected and what action it will take [02:57] could someone tell me how to view the index of a site? as in show its folder hierarchy?

[03:01] grim76: not to beat a dead horse, but what are the security risks associated with chroot_local_user? [03:01] grim76: or risks rather, it doesn't sepcify that they are security related [03:01] TD-Linux, didn't even know about gpart. from what i just read on it, author seems to have lost interest a while back :o [03:01] Does anyone know the Ex Chat name of a Linux Mint group please? [03:01] AllNewToMe: I gave you that information already [03:02] jrib: its not working, says 'no such file or directory' would this work "ls -R http://www.yahoo.com" [03:02] (Q) I'm trying to make a LiveCD with NVidia drivers on it. What packages are required? [03:02] jrib: Yes, and I lost it :( (I'm a bit slow) [03:02] zigzags: no. I assume you want to do this on a server locally as your question doesn't really make sense for some random website [03:03] YES [03:03] jrib: could you be so kind and give it to me again? [03:03] AllNewToMe: /msg ubottu mintsupport [03:03] YES [03:03] testdisk found my linux partition ! [03:03] unfortunately it didn't find my system restore partition [03:03] jrib: Thanks :) [03:03] balz: I am not sure. I will be honest with. [03:03] but meh, not that useful anyway, I can order a restore DVD [03:03] What is the difference between all the nvidia-glx packages? [03:03] nvidia-glx-new is for recent cards [03:03] Windsurfer6191: different versions for different cards [03:03] grim76: okay. thanks so much for the help. it seems to be working! [03:04] TD, try the "deep search" or whatsitcalled [03:04] nvidia-glx-*-dev is for using nvidia-specific headers to compile (aka you don't need it) [03:04] hi.. does the flash package install the new flash version? (10) I'm on 'hardy' [03:04] punto: not yet [03:04] jrib: Hm. Is there a way to get all the drivers? [03:04] I'm on Intrepid. [03:04] Or at least, using an intrepid ISO [03:04] Windsurfer6191: umm, just get the one that works for the card you have. Intrepid questions belong in #ubuntu+1 [03:04] onx, I can't find that option [03:05] what card do you have? you probably want nvidia-glx-new [03:05] TD-Linux, after doing the initial quick search, you get the option to search more [03:05] jrib: Okay. I tried the 173 package, and that didn't work. I don't know what card I have, but it's a few years old. What would you guess? [03:05] how do i turn off emerald without shutting down compiz entirely or uninstalling emerald? [03:06] Windsurfer6191: system -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers usually suggests the one you need [03:06] that will take quite a while then, but sometimes works for bringing stuff back that has been messed with thoroughly :9 [03:06] does anyone know how to set wlan0 as primary over eth0? [03:06] jrib: I don't have a GUI available [03:06] !nvidia > Windsurfer6191 [03:06] hello [03:06] Windsurfer6191, please see my private message [03:06] bzaks: if theer is no eth0 connection than wlan0 should be used automatically [03:06] alright, running deep search now [03:06] my xfce just died, and my panel moved out of the screen (i can still see a part of an edge of it) [03:06] btw, if anyone wants to learn from my mistakes: [03:06] Windsurfer6191: the documentation there links you to the supported cards for the driver [03:06] how to make it come back where it used to be? [03:07] I decided to install a pirate copy of Mac OS x86... NEVER DO IT [03:07] onthefence928: there is an eth0 connection, its to a different network though.. (no internet on that network) [03:07] i need to install some nvidia mx440 drivers to my pc, ive reinstalled ubuntu, and suddendly he started running in 640 of resolution, plz help! im all day fixing this sh1t! [03:07] bzaks: ah [03:07] Thanks [03:08] onthefence928: there's no iftab... so I'm not entirely sure what to do. [03:08] help plz! i need the command line to download the nvidia manager [03:08] the_dude: do you mean the nvidia drivers? [03:08] Hey I need help with foremost recover app, where is the output folder? [03:08] the_dude> boot into recovery kernel and run the xserver repair to get x back to normal [03:09] jrib, yes all those things man, im so angry damn [03:09] TD-Linux: what happened? [03:09] Sorry guys im back: How can i make my ubuntu box a socks 5 proxy? [03:09] smil3y, its all 640 man... [03:09] the_dude: system -> administration -> hardware drivers [03:09] jrib, yeah but it doesnt open man [03:09] my xfce panels are now empty [03:09] well, I moved my partitions around a bit with gparted [03:10] which I think succeeded but I never tested [03:10] so I made an empty logical partition I thought I would install to [03:10] so I go into the Mac OS X installer [03:10] start the Disk Utility [03:10] the_dude> system> pref> screen resolution [03:10] I got so many responses it confused me. [03:10] I choose to format the logical volume HFS+ [03:10] and BOOM [03:10] how do i donwload nvidia drivers and managers thrue terminal [03:10] somehow my partitions all die [03:10] /msg ubottu mintsupport [03:10] Is it possible to bypass websense by setting my box up as a proxy? [03:10] smil3y, it only has 640 and 800, but 800 cuts my screen [03:11] does anyone know what program is used for the volume hotkey dialogs [03:11] the_dude: run 'jockey-gtk' [03:11] the_dude> wget and then the url for what you want to dload [03:11] for volume +/- and mute it shows a dialog what program makes that dialog? [03:11] is it a custom gnome config or something? [03:11] anybody here good with windows networking? i need a little help for the sake of my kubuntu install [03:11] jrib, error [03:12] TD-Linux, did macOS workc though? [03:12] !pastebin | the_dude [03:12] the_dude: 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) [03:12] smil3y, a guy yesterday helped me man [03:12] the_dude: pastebin it [03:13] the_dude> what are you talking about? you jump from one thing to another... have you tried any suggestions yet? [03:13] what version number is "hardy"? [03:13] how do i bring back my bottom toolbar [03:13] smil3y, what man? [03:13] <_Zeus_> 8.04 === dor is now known as plokner [03:15] how do i bring back my bottom toolbar [03:15] guys what is /etc/rc.local [03:15] ? [03:15] youngbreezy: do you still have a top toolbar? [03:15] yeah [03:15] can someone help me? [03:16] youngbreezy: right click the top toolbar and select "New Panel"? [03:16] I need to make my ubuntu box a Socks 5 Proxy using the CLI [03:16] <_Zeus_> !ask | the_dude [03:16] the_dude: 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. :-) [03:16] MiddleOfNowhere: the comments at the top of /etc/rc.local tell you what it is. It's a way to run things on startup as root [03:16] Well I want to make my ubuntu box a socks 5 proxy and cause it to start on boot up [03:16] MiddleOfNowhere: depending on what you want exactly, you could just use ssh (-D) [03:16] can i make ssh socks 5 compatiable? [03:16] bryantdoss:thanks..will everything minimize to this [03:16] the_dude: no one can help you if you do not answer questions you are asked [03:17] youngbreezy: probably not yet, you may have to add the window list to the toolbar [03:17] MiddleOfNowhere: yes... [03:17] How do i do that in my cli? [03:17] right click and select "Add to panel" [03:17] So question if you have a live command kernel can you install Xubuntu through the net, or the base kernel itself [03:17] hi, whats the module for AC97? [03:17] youngbreezy: and select Window List [03:17] MiddleOfNowhere: see the -D option in 'man ssh'. Pass -D when you connect. [03:17] my screen man, its off resolution man, i cant open any resolution manager, and i was with the nvidia mx440 driver, and suddendly it came to 640.... i justa wanna get back the driver and download the manager that i got yesterday.... [03:17] youngbreezy: then everything will minimize to it, you can also add a lot of other cool stuff like extra workspaces, buttons, etc [03:18] jrib: how do i make that happen automatically on boot up? [03:18] did anyone else lose their nvidia workarounds with the latest updates? I'm back to 800x600 generic drivers again. [03:18] MiddleOfNowhere: not with ssh [03:18] You're running intrepid? [03:18] jrib: how could i do socks 5 to start on bootup? [03:18] Rather - grafixbadnow and the_dude and co, are you asking about intrepid or hardy? [03:18] Hi. [03:19] MiddleOfNowhere: you just have the option of creating a local port when you ssh somewhere that acts as a socks proxy [03:19] hardy [03:19] PMT... I'm on hardy [03:19] bryantdoss:thanks [03:19] How do I know the kernel version I'm running? [03:19] jrib: can you walk me through it? [03:19] indio - uname -r will tell you. [03:19] MiddleOfNowhere: I don't know. Did you try: apt-cache search socks proxy [03:19] PMT: Thanks. [03:19] just did [03:20] MiddleOfNowhere: that should give you a place to start [03:20] Is 2.6.24-21-generic the latest kernel version ? [03:20] is psad only a standalone program or is there some sort of antivirus package that uses it? (psad = port scan attack detector) [03:21] indio: For 8.04 yes [03:21] indio, ya [03:21] MiddleOfNowhere - it seems like gstm might do what you want. It allows you to open SSH tunnels (including SOCKS5) automatically on startup of a client computer. [03:21] Thanks folks. [03:21] It depends on whether you're asking because you want a specific machine to be an open SOCKS5 proxy or because you want one machine to be a client. [03:21] I'm also on 2.6.24-21-generic. also have nvidia problems [03:22] if i compile envy's drivers on a new kernel will the settings for the older ones be lost? [03:22] Any of you are using Flash Player Plugin 10 for Linux right now? [03:22] in Ubuntu [03:22] Hello, is there a way to re-install a fresh 8.04 without losing any of my settings/data? [03:22] arvind_khadri - unless you modified the code itself, I don't believe so. [03:22] Google shows that the error "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'" is a long time bug that is still not fixed. What a pain! [03:22] jrib: How do I add the Linux Mint chanel to the Ex Chat program so that it appears in the list like "#ubuntu" [03:22] JilioNeto - I am, but I'm in intrepid. [03:22] nekei: jsut save your home folder [03:23] is there a program in ubuntu to turn voice commands into command line commands? [03:23] PMT, but it happens for me... [03:23] PMT, Do you have noticed any better change in it? [03:23] nkei: of course, it won't be a completely 'clean' install since you are resetting all your settings. why do you need a clean install? [03:23] arvind_khadri - then Envy's installer is doing something unpleasant and blowing away your settings. [03:23] AllNewToMe: Connect to the server it is on and then join the channel. Check the first menu dropdown you have, it's probably around there that you can connect to a new server [03:23] PMT, when i try to install it removes the older packages [03:23] JulioNeto, I don't have nearly as many crashes in it as I used to. I don't really use flash sites much, so I don't notice much. [03:24] arvind_khadri - what packages specifically? [03:24] PMT: I want the machine to be a socks 5 proxy. Not a client [03:24] ok [03:24] ;) [03:24] tks [03:24] ezzieyguywuf: I tried to update my system with the latest 20 updates and it failed in the middle and my laptop lost power. So my fsck is failing and I can't repair the broken packages and start because my acpi doesn't work. [03:24] MiddleOfNowhere - then you probably want some package out of apt like jrib said, and I can't offer you any help setting it up, as I've not done it. :) [03:24] jrib: But how do I connect to the server!! :( [03:24] PMT, nvidia-kernel-envy and 2 more...cant remember now.. [03:24] nkei0 - your fsck is failing how? [03:24] AllNewToMe: Connect to the server it is on and then join the channel. -----> Check the first menu dropdown you have, it's probably around there that you can connect to a new server <---- [03:25] nkei: damn that sucks. so yea if you save /home/[user] to an external hard disk you should be good [03:25] anyone know of a good way to check my connection speed? [03:25] speedtest . net [03:25] PMT: I'm not entirely sure, it won't let me copy it. However, it fails and then it my xserver gui won't start and i only have the option to type in my login/pw and then nothing happens. [03:25] nkei: i usually put /home on its own partition so that when i do re-install, i just don't format that partition and i'm good to go. [03:25] fsck failing is something you'd probably want to address before trying to repair the packages, nkei0, unless it failed at precisely the right time to hose the binary [03:26] can anyone who knows ubuntu, can you help me out? my internet isn't working on the ubuntu half of my computer. Vista works fine. I reset the iptables. I have all the info I have on this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=946504 please help! [03:26] jrib: what dropdown? where? [03:26] PMT: It started the fsck after repairing the broken packages, it was one of the every so often checks. [03:26] AllNewToMe: you have menu items at the top of your window right? [03:26] Hi. problems with ati radeon 9800 pro. i've installed opensourcedrivers, atidrivers, and ati drivers with envyng. after every installation, screen freezes on 3d games, and only i can do is a hard shutdown. the videocard is just bought yesterday [03:26] nkei0 - that's still pretty bad. :) [03:27] jrib: Yes? [03:27] AllNewToMe: click them [03:27] hmm, gpart found my fat32 recovery partition [03:27] crayboff... i'm very new to ubuntu, but I had similar problem. do you get eth0 when you do ifconfig? [03:27] but didn't do so well with the others [03:27] I want to Use SSH to reroute traffic as a Socks5 proxy so I can use video and voice as well as typical traffic [03:27] time to come up with a good way to combine their results [03:27] MiddleOfNowhere: I told you how to do that already [03:27] AllNewToMe> wow dude click "XChat" at the top left of the window your in [03:27] PMT: I agree. That's why I was trying to re-install in place... Do you think if I upgrade to the 8.10 beta it will be ok? [03:28] jrib: I looked but there was so many packages to choose from [03:28] nkei0 - It won't fix your fsck problems. :) [03:28] hello everyone [03:28] BitchX works on ubuntu now if you rather use that [03:28] 'allo [03:28] hello guys [03:28] PMT: Okay, I think I'll try it anyways though. [03:28] PMT: Thanks. [03:28] jrib: Ok, if I click on "IRC" it opens a box but there is nothing about MINT? [03:28] MiddleOfNowhere: pick one, google it, read documentation. Then go on to the next one. Then make a decision. There were about a dozen when I searched and not all were actual proxies [03:28] crayboff? [03:28] No problem. Come back in if it doesn't work. :) [03:29] jrib: thanks [03:29] PMT: LoL, if I can. [03:29] AllNewToMe: so? Didn't ubottu tell you the server the mint channel was on? [03:29] umm, grafixbadnow, I'm using wireless so i thought it should be the wlan one but anyway I'm not really sure what you are asking, but that link (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=946504) has a copy of the ifconfig. I can't redo right now because I am using Vista right now. [03:29] jrib: um? [03:29] I'm planning to install an ubuntu system using the minimal iso (the one that's like 10 megs) and I'd like to enable the interpid (cutting edge) repos. do you think this would be possible? [03:29] !mintsupport | AllNewToMe [03:29] AllNewToMe: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [03:29] AllNewToMe: irc.spotchat.org [03:29] anyone know anything about compiz? When I try to click on Extra, it goes back to none [03:29] i have a grub question on hardy.. i'm already doing a dual boot (vista/hardy) but i wanna add xp for some work apps that won't wine or run on vista.. will i have to manually configure grub or will it auto-detect the new bootable partition? [03:30] Hi. problems with ati radeon 9800 pro. i've installed opensourcedrivers, atidrivers, and ati drivers with envyng. after every installation, screen freezes on 3d games, and only i can do is a hard shutdown. the videocard is just bought yesterday. i forgot to tell that im using ubuntu 8.04.1 with kernel 21 installed and updated 30 mins ago [03:30] TheBeat: enabling the repoes shouldn't be a problem once you have the system installed. it's just a matter of entering it into synaptic [03:30] Crayboff - the contents of route -n would be interesting. Also, as said in the thread, aptitude purge firestarter. The next thing to do is start grepping your /etc/init.d/ and /etc/rc.local for things which restore iptables rules. [03:30] TheBeast: the way they advertised intrepid, it should be able to run on just about anything and i don't see any problems with the native repos [03:30] 'allo all: having issues running socks5 over ssh for video, ideas? [03:30] s/contents/output/ [03:30] crayboff... sorry. i didn't notice that those postings on the forums were actually you. I never could get the mac address to show on eth0. I think I had a different problem with similar symptoms. can't help you. sorry to disappoiht [03:31] reddraconi - more details? what kind of issues? [03:31] FiReSTaRT> you have an empty partition for xp already? [03:31] TheBeast: you don't "enable intrepid repos". It's a different release. You would need to upgrade from hardy to intrepid if you have the hardy minimal iso. Instead you should get an actual intrepid iso. #ubuntu+1 is the channel for help with intrepid [03:31] exit [03:31] where do I type irc.spotchat.org? in my browser (does nothing except present security warnings!) [03:31] grafixbadnow - I'd bet you a quarter your eth0 was firewire or otherwise unreal. [03:31] i can pass TCP traffic, can't seem to get UDP through though [03:31] grim76: i keep getting an authentication error (530) [03:31] ./server irc.spotchat.org [03:31] smil3y: nope.. i was gonna create a 10gig partition.. that's one good thing i can say about vista.. partitioning is very easy [03:31] AllNewToMe: it's the server you want to connect to in xchat [03:31] That's correct, reddraconi. You don't expect that to work, because of how SOCKS works. Sorry. The -w option to SSH or a VPN would probably be more what you want. :) [03:32] jrib: what I really want is to edit /etc/apt/sources.list or whatever and get interpid installed off the minimal ISO over the network(network install) is that possible? [03:32] skulls: omit the . before the / [03:32] yeah [03:32] pmt.. you're probably right. i've been using ubuntu for all of 6 weeks, so you could make a lot of money betting against met [03:32] [Someone correct me if I'm mis-recalling and SOCKS has no problem with UDP.] [03:32] -w? woot, I've already got -D to reroute traffic through the SSH [03:32] Thanks all, I'll just give it up, I have no idea what to do :( [03:32] TheBeast: doesn't sound like a terribly great idea, no. Ask #ubuntu+1 if there exists an intrepid minimal iso, that is what you want [03:32] FiReSTaRT> its easy enough to add xp to grub, ubuntu doesnt automagically add other os to grub though unless it finds it on ubuntu install [03:33] PMT, i'm not really sure what you are saying as I am pretty much a ubuntu noob. I purged firestarter already, but what do meam by grepping those files? [03:33] I'm wanting to use 3D cube, I activate it and the other thing, but when I do ctrl+atl+left it changings the screen [03:33] any help? [03:33] FiremanEd> just google grub xp theres a ton of instructions on the net [03:33] -w is a bit more complicated, reddraconi, but it's how you set up a complete virtual network between the two using SSH, which should do UDP and anything else you want. [03:33] I need some advice for a CTO [03:33] skulls... what graphics card? [03:33] balz: Try turning off the ssl options. [03:33] awesome, thanks! [03:33] in the client or vsftpd? [03:33] Hi all! I'm using Firefox 3.0.3 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron, and I'm getting random crashes with Flash. Sometimes Firefox crashes when I load a page with Flash; sometimes it crashes when I start playing a video. Sometimes it crashes the first time I try to load a page with Flash, and then works fine the second time I try to load it. Sometimes it crashes over and over. Why is this happening? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance! :) [03:33] Crayboff - I mean grep -i iptables /etc/init.d/* /etc/rc.local and then putting the results in the thread. [03:33] smil3y: thanks.. this was just a curiosity thing.. i remember it being easy enough, but i'm a lazy bum lol.. ughhh my baby will be soiled with 2 versions of doze [03:33] grafixbadnow, idk, it's one that came in this computer [03:34] omnomnOMINOUS - have you filed a bug using apport? [03:34] is there a better portscanner i can get besides the one builr into ubuntu [03:34] PMT: no, how do I do that? [03:34] * FiReSTaRT bbiab pit stop [03:34] b3lorixx, better in what sense? [03:34] I have no internet connection on my kubuntu install, however I do have internet on my PC. I just downloaded NDISwrapper 1.53 as a tar.gz file and can move it over to my laptop, however I don't know what I need to do to extract and install it. a guide would be appreciated. Anybody? [03:34] FiReSTaRT> i cant get my youngest off xp......... WOW addict [03:34] AllNewToMe: in xchat: Xchat menu -> network list -> Add -> edit new network -> irc.spotchat.org for the server. close. select the new network. connect. /join #linuxmint. If you installed linux, you can do this [03:34] PMT alright I think I can do that, you'll have to wait for me to shutdown Vista and reboot as ubuntu then reboot as vista again, though. [03:34] skulls.... someone (else) can tell you the command to use to get your graphics card. it's lspci something [03:34] PMT, able to scan remote addresses [03:34] Hi! I'm trying to install Ubuntu and it says I have no harddrive. I went into /dev and did 'ls', and there isn't an entry with hd* or sd*? I also tried 'fdisk -l' and it returned nothing. What should I try next? [03:35] omnomnOMINOUS, I'm not sure of the nice way to enable apport using the GUI, but edit /etc/default/apport, change enabled=0 to enabled=1, then run /etc/init.d/apport start [03:35] skulls.. go into terminal and type lspci. it will be a long list, but you can probably pick out the name of a graphics card [03:35] Then the next time it crashes, you should get a prompt to submit a bug. :) [03:35] benzin`> tar -xvf and the name of the tarball will extract it [03:35] balz: Are there some users that you can login as and others that you can't? [03:35] omnomnOMINOUS: know bug, should be fixed in intrepid being released in 2 weeks [03:35] b3lorixx, what port scanner are you using? If it's backed by nmap, it can scan any arbitrary address. [03:35] is there a way to make a removable drive automount to the same place every time? [03:35] it [03:36] smil3y, do i need to cd to the dir it's in to do that? [03:36] ezzieyguywuf: give it a label [03:36] PMT, wait, are the codes you want me to do: $grep -i iptables /etc/init.d/* and $grep -i iptables /etc/rc.local? [03:36] grim76: no, i can't log in with any user. I keep gettinf 530: login failed [03:36] benzin`> yes [03:36] !label | ezzieyguywuf [03:36] ezzieyguywuf: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. [03:36] grafixbadnow, it's all VIA Tech names, [03:36] PMT, i was using teh horrible one built into teh Ubuntu Netowkr tools [03:36] smil3y alright, then how do I install it? apt-get? [03:36] jrib: thanks [03:36] Crayboff - sure, but you can run them both as one command: $ grep -i iptables /etc/init.d/* /etc/rc.local [03:37] b3lorixx, I have a default install laying around and don't see it. It's under Network->Port Scanner? [03:37] balz: Pastebin your config after the last set of changes that you made. [03:37] jrib: oh, can you link me to the bug report? [03:37] Hi. problems with ati radeon 9800 pro. i've installed opensourcedrivers, atidrivers, and ati drivers with envyng. after every installation, screen freezes on 3d games, and only i can do is a hard shutdown. the videocard is just bought yesterday [03:37] benzin`> nope. should be a "readme" somewhere in the extracted files, follow instructions in that, every tarball is different [03:37] skulls... hmmm I'm way too new to be helping you here. i was hoping for nvidia or ati or something else I'd heard of. I spent a week on a graphics card problem a while ago, so i was going to point you in that direction [03:37] PMT, System, Admin, Netowrk tools [03:37] smil3y, alright thanks [03:37] Is there a key combo to restart X but not kill the user session? [03:37] Fascinating. Never tried this one. [03:37] omnomnOMINOUS: search bugs.ubuntu.com, I don't know it offhand. It involves flash and pulseaudio and the libflashsupport package [03:38] benzin`> most likely it will tell you to ./configure then make and then sudo make install [03:38] b3lorixx, have you tried specifying a network interface that's not lo in the Devices tab? [03:38] jrib: ok. i tried searching on google for "firefox 3 flash crash ubuntu hardy", but it returns a bunch of results, with a bunch of different people having problems, and a bunch of different solutions, none of which work for everyone [03:38] grafixbadnow, great.. I'm going to install an ATI Gforce in this box tomorrow, any links, or does it autodetect the card and find drivers? [03:38] tundrayeti313: I severely doubt it [03:38] isilion, does syslog or dmesg show anything useful? [03:38] skulls... as my name indicates, i'm in here looking for help with nvidia graphics. the recent updates blew out all my hard-worked patches that had it working before [03:38] omnomnOMINOUS: I didn't tell you to search google... [03:38] jrib: oh i know [03:38] genii: nothing other than ctl+alt+backspace? [03:38] jrib: i'm going to bugs.ubuntu.com now [03:38] grim76: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58153/ === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [03:39] PMT, i'm going to try that now [03:39] skulls... i manually downloaded the correct nvidia proprietary driver from their site. it has stopped working since yesterday's updates === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [03:39] now i dont have any driver installed. i was going to install ati drivers from envyng, if you dont suggest anything [03:39] tundrayeti313, I'm reasonably certain that you're not going to get an equivalent of nohup for X without a really weird X extension. Such exist, but they're not installed by default, so it won't work everywhere. :) [03:39] omnomnOMINOUS: there's no good solution that I know of in hardy. You either deal with the crashes or remove teh support for pulseaudio and can't play more than one sound when flash is playing. (there's nspluginwrapper, but that's a hack to use on 32bit) === benzin` is now known as peer` [03:40] PMT: hmmm, not familiar w/ nohup [03:40] grafixbadnow, thanks though, I'll come back tomorrow when I'm installing the new card [03:40] is anyone good at pppd scripts that can help me figure out an issue? [03:40] nohup is a command-line tool to prevent a program from going away when the appropriate terminal vanishes. [03:40] jrib: that link refers me to a program titlted e2label which doesn't seem to be in the repoes. is there an alternative program? [03:40] pmt so what i do? [03:40] ezzieyguywuf, e2fsprogs/e2fstools should have it. [03:41] ezzieyguywuf: it's in e2fsprogs [03:41] hello, room. anyone else have video driver problems since yesterday's updates? [03:41] anyone know physics? i need some help =| [03:41] smil3y: unfortunately it's not an addiction thing.. some things i need for work just won't work on anything else (other than possibly w2k/me/98) [03:41] isilion, not even failsafe mode works? [03:41] !anyone [03:41] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:41] Uplink: try #physics [03:41] does the new flash 10 work on hulu for anyone? [03:41] grafixbadnow: me, but i think that my card its problematic in linux [03:42] jirb and PMT : thakns [03:42] smil3y: otherwise, i'd be running Ubuntu and nothing else [03:42] isilion... there was a workaround, but the most recent updates seem to have disabled it. I don't know much about ubuntu/linux, so diagnosing the problem is difficult [03:42] PMT: i havent tried to run games in failsafe mode [03:42] Oh, okay, your problem only triggers with 3D. I thought it was on boot. That's far more debuggable. :) [03:42] PMT: whatever driver works until show desktop and run 2d programs. but 3d freezes screen [03:43] NDISwrapper's install is telling me to log in as root, however I don't know the root password. I haven't fiddled with anything. Is there a default root password? [03:43] how do i override the "Bad: new password is too simple" when I try to change my password with "passwd". If I do sudo passwd, that changes the passwd of root, not the user's password I want to change. Thanks. [03:43] isilion & PMT... I had that problem with geforce 8200. could never run 3dd [03:43] peer`: are you installing ndiswrapper from the repositories? [03:43] what? === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [03:43] in the NDISwrapper install text file [03:43] selocol: try sudo passwd username [03:43] grafixbadnow - you enabled the non-free drivers and it crashed badly? [03:43] !wifi > peer` [03:43] peer`, please see my private message [03:43] it says cd to the ndiswrapper untar'd dir [03:43] jrib: Apparently he's not [03:43] balz: What login shell do you have these users set to? [03:44] selocol - sudo passwd [user], but I wouldn't recommend overriding it, it really knows when it's too simple. [03:44] pmt... yes. i installed nvidia's driver. turning on 3d effects caused crash [03:44] Hello. Completely new to Ubuntu/Linux and was just wondering how to go about installing a .rpm file? [03:44] PMT, is tehre a gui for zmap, and if so how do i install it [03:44] magicrobotmonkey: thanks! [03:44] PMT: alright, thanks for the advice [03:44] grafixbadnow: it seems similar to my problem [03:44] why is my computer running hot after ubuntu install? please help [03:44] soar: you don't. You avoid them as ubuntu uses debs, not rpms. What are you trying to install? [03:44] grim76: i'm not sure. To be honest, i'm not sure what a shell is [03:44] !software > soar [03:44] soar, please see my private message [03:44] grafixbadnow - from envy, from ubuntu, or from nvidia? [03:44] hi folks, anyone here using Ubuntu on a Dell Studio 15? === Doc|NapPLZ is now known as Indoctrine [03:44] balz: how did you setup the users? [03:44] grafixbadnow: use ubuntu-packaged nvidia drivers, not downloads from nvidia.com [03:44] pmt... driver was direct from nvidia.com [03:44] b3lorixx, there is a GUI, I forget what it's called. [03:45] grafixbadnow - what did glxinfo | head report? [03:45] tritium... i'm very new. i followed someone's post on a message board [03:45] b3lorixx, zenmap is probably what you'd like. [03:45] grafixbadnow: i coulndt say if before it worked, because my videocard is new. i installed it yesterday [03:45] I am trying to run a script to connect via pppd, the scripts says to send ATZ , when it is called it actually sends ATZ^M, which causes an error and fails the script. Anyone know where that ^M is coming from? [03:45] grafixbadnow: they led you astray. Always use what ubuntu has packaged up for you. [03:45] I'm new to Linux, I'm just trying to get my wireless card working and everything I've read says to use NDISwrapper. I can't wget it because I have no internet on my laptop yet, so I'm trying to install it through make commands in the console. I just cd'd to the ndiswrapper dir and did 'make uninstall' then 'make', now the install text file is telling me to log in as root and type 'make install' [03:45] !nvidia | grafixbadnow [03:45] grafixbadnow: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:45] pmt..... "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"." [03:45] peer`: please read the docs I had ubottu send you [03:46] grim76: I'm using the user i made when i installed ubuntu. Are you referring to something in the config file though? I ask because i didn't specify any users in the config file [03:46] ( jrib ): is there anything there that pretains specifically to installing NDISwrapper offline? [03:46] grafixbadnow - this is the problem with installing drivers direct from nvidia on ubuntu. the ubuntu init stuff will automatically nuke some of the glx stuff from nvidia with its own on every boot, leading to the wrong glx version...and hilarity. [03:46] tritium... it's somewhat a moot point. since downloading last night's ubuntu updates, the graphics workaround i had no longer works. back to 800x600 [03:46] peer`: you need to use sudo for it to work [03:46] peer`: yes [03:46] ( jrib ): okay [03:46] balz: Ok so when you login as the user that you created at install that is the one that you get the error with? [03:46] peer`: and more importantly, it has documentation that may help you avoid using it altogether [03:46] ( FiReSTaRT ): wait, I can 'sudo make install' and that sould work? [03:46] grim76: yes [03:46] pmt & tritum... so I should get something direct from ubuntu. lesson learned. how do I go about it? [03:47] tritium: i did that howto yesterday and 3d not work at all [03:47] peer`: yeah as long as it's been configured first [03:47] grafixbadnow - on hardy, apt-get install nvidia-common nvidia-glx-new [03:47] PMT, how would i scan a address for open port using nmap, ive never used it before, sorry if im being a pain [03:47] grim76: but i intend to create another user later [03:47] no wait you have a nice GUI [03:47] continues hanging up using 3d games [03:47] b3lorixx, nmap -p [port or range of ports] [host] [03:47] pmt... i'll give that a go and report back. [03:47] grafixbadnow - System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager [03:48] Then enable the nvidia drivers. It should automagically installed nvidia-common and so forth, and enable them in X, and tell you to reboot into a new world of wonder. [03:48] [Be sure to remove the envy drivers first, if they're around - I have no idea what will happen if they are.] [03:48] grim76: actually, if my current user doesn't work, that's fine. I was just testing it out using that user. The user I'm going to create is the only one that will be using FTP, so if it's easier to create a new user, that's fine. [03:48] jrib: ok. it looks like this is the bug we're talking about: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libflashsupport/+bug/192888. thanks for the pointer! [03:48] balz: Are you seeing any error messages in /var/log/messages [03:48] peer`: anyways i've gotta jet.. got some work stuff to finish and gotta get up at 5am.. good luck :) [03:49] hi [03:49] jrib: from http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/ it also looks like adobe released the release version of flash 10 this morning, so we'll see how that affects things. [03:49] :0 [03:49] Im having trouble setting up my Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000,.. Im run`n kubuntu hardy on a ibm thinkpad t41p,... I also have a Logitech Quickcam EC witch works fine in any software I want to run,.. however, the only software Ive been able to get the Pro 5000 to work on is webcamd, and even then the colors are way off,.. I need both of these cams to work simutanously,... [03:49] :) [03:49] joegeek - what software would you like it to work with? [03:50] pmt.... i get error message from terminal: E: Couldn't find package nvidia-common [03:50] if i just right click the drive, go to drive>>settings and set the mount point, will that do the same as changing the label? [03:50] grim76: no [03:50] in system>admin> there is no restricted driver manager. when i go into proprietary drivers, it says none are in use [03:50] Can you enable any? [03:50] also, how do i set them to automount, as once i set the label they no longer automount [03:50] PMT: i dont know yet, but i know its not webcamd,... im fix`n to do some timelapse video,.. [03:50] If not, that's exciting. [03:50] I am trying to run a script to connect via pppd through my blackberry with bluetooth. I have had this working before but have had some issues recently that required a clean install. Apparently something has changed since the script isn't working now, the scripts says to send ATZ , when it is called it actually sends ATZ^M, which causes an error and fails the script. Anyone know where that ^M is coming from? [03:51] joegeek - yeah, webcamd could, but probably shouldn't, do what you want. [03:51] balz: Are you using a firewall? Also how are you trying to connect? Have you restarted the vsftpd service? [03:51] I'll install Flash Player 10 in my Ubuntu, which already has the Flash P. Player 9. Should I remove the 9 one before install the 10? [03:52] PMT: any suggestions? [03:52] grim76: i'm trying to connect via fireFTP on the local network using a hostname. There's no firewall on the internal network [03:53] balz: Ok try to connect from the command line. I don't know anything about the fireftp client or how it works. [03:53] pmt & tritium... in the aforementioned workaround (that lead me astray), i vaguely remember doing something to force GLX not to work. I don't really know what that means, but it seems relevant now [03:54] I'd look at kdenlive, joegeek, but I have no idea off the top of my head. [03:54] grafixbadnow - that's exciting, and correct. Can you paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file somewhere? :) [03:54] [Rather - that's exciting, and you're correct, that is relevant.] [03:54] JulioNeto - yes, for the love of all you hold dear, uninstall Flash 9 first. [03:55] :D [03:55] tks! [03:55]  I am trying to run a script to connect via pppd through my blackberry with bluetooth. I have had this working before but have had some issues recently that required a clean install. Apparently something has changed since the script isn't working now, the scripts says to send ATZ , when it is called it actually sends ATZ^M, which causes an error and fails the script. Anyone know where that ^M is coming from? [03:55] what's the terminal command to open a simple text editor to view xorg.conf? [03:55] grafixbadnow: sudo gedit [03:56] PMT: tnks,... i take it your suggestion on my problem is, find the software i wanna use,.. then get my cam to work with it,.. correct? [03:56] grafixbadnow: or sudo nano [03:57] joegeek - tragically, I have no precise experience with this. For time-lapse video, you might want to look at the ubuntu-multimedia repositories, but those aren't official, and are sometimes hit or miss with functionality. I'd recommend kdenlive and cinelerra as starting points as standard video editing programs. [03:57] The magic keyword you'd like to search for with your webcam's name or what you want to do is probably v4l2 or video4linux2. [03:57] joegeek; what are trying to do with the camera [03:57] Also, vlc supports recording from v4l2 sources, so you can use that to record from the webcam and then find an editor program later, if you like. [03:58] Hi all. [03:58] :'( [03:58] I'm trying to use a USB storage device on a Thinkpad T60 with Hardy, and whenever I plug it in, it throws an error saying "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume." [03:58] hi [03:59] theblue - what does dmesg think you're trying, and what kind of filesystem is on the device? [03:59]  I am trying to run a script to connect via pppd through my blackberry with bluetooth. I have had this working before but have had some issues recently that required a clean install. Apparently something has changed since the script isn't working now, the scripts says to send ATZ , when it is called it actually sends ATZ^M, which causes an error and fails the script. Anyone know where that ^M is coming from? [03:59] should be FAT., PMT [03:59] i have a dual boot vista/ubuntu. i need to give vista more space. can i just use gparted? [03:59] PMT: no clue how to check dmesg, though. [03:59] PMT: tnks, I have a 5 DVD snapshot of the repoitories, as im on a 28.8 dial-up connection,... one day, they'll run cable out here,.. maybe within the next two decades or so,... [03:59] danbh_intrepid: http://www.linux.com/articles/56588 I found the preceeding link helpful (if anyone if looking for similar hard drive recovery topics) [04:00] hale3rd - sort of. the caveat is that if you used ext3 as your root, ext3 doesn't like moving around very much. [04:00] joegeek - ouch, sorry to hear that. :( [04:00] fyrmedic: Likely because file created in windows end with ^M [04:00] grim76: sorry i just saw your last message. Command line is just ftp hostname, right? [04:00] joegeek: my sympathies to you. [04:00] hmm [04:00] ok [04:00] fyrmedic: The end of each line that is [04:00] balz: yes [04:00] thank you [04:00] how can I install a .deb file? [04:00] don_jr_KS: of? [04:00] hey guys, whats the best FS to share a partition between ubuntu and windows? [04:00] grim76: that seems to have worked... [04:00] PMT: do you think i will destroy my drive using gparted? [04:00] Hilikus - I like vfat or ntfs-3g. [04:00] its all gonna be data only, no system stuff [04:00] pmt.... i dumped it on my old wikipedia usertalk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Feco#Code [04:00] genii; I wrote the script in gedit. does that happen often? [04:01] grim76: it now says ftp> [04:01] hale3rd - not unless you "accidentally" tell it it can delete a partition. :) [04:01] balz: did you login? [04:01] Hilikus: or ext3 and a driver for windows to read it [04:01] fyrmedic: fix`n to take time lapse video of my hydroponic garden,... one cam on a close up, and one at a 6 foot distance,... [04:01] jrib I downloaded adobe flash player for ubuntu in a .deb file. I don't know how to install it properly [04:01] lol [04:01] tnks theblue,.. [04:01] !deb | don_jr_KS [04:01] don_jr_KS: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [04:01] ok, thanks! [04:01] jrib i thought of that, how good is that driver? [04:01] how to set the init level [04:01] joegeek; have you looked at zoneminder? [04:01] Cool. [04:01] Hilikus: works for me [04:01] fyrmedic: Shouldn't. Usually see it when some script is imported from a windows box and made with notepad or such. [04:01] grim76: yes. it prompted me for a user name and password and now it says "ftp>" [04:01] balz: ok do an ls -l [04:01] I click it once, it opens Ark with nothing inside it. [04:02] fyrmedic: I've not looked at any software,... [04:02] wartalker: why? [04:02] PMT: last thing, does it matter how i set up dual boot? i had ubuntu installed first. [04:02] grim76: let me pastebin [04:02] balz: ok [04:02] wartalker: there are only 3 that debian/ubuntu use: 0 (reboot), 1 (single-user), and 2. You really only use 2 on a regular basis. [04:02] genii; I figured that. I originally copied and pasted from a webpage. Then when the error started I re-entered by hand and still get it. [04:02] im kinda trying to avoid fat32 since its not very realiable so going with ext3 and a windows driver is my inclination [04:02] PMT: What should I do to get this to mount? [04:03] tritium: if set 1, does it need the nvidia driver [04:03] grim76: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58158/ [04:03] joegeek; take a look at zoneminder. It is designed to work with remote cameras and such. I don't know if it will work with your intended plan but worth a try. [04:03] grafixbadnow - I edited your Driver "nv" line to say "nvidia" and deleted some superfluous lines. Try the config as it exists on WP right now? [04:03] grim76: ls -l is at line 10 [04:03] will do [04:03] balz: looks like you are working. [04:03] wartalker: runlevel 1 is single-user (recovery) mode, and doesn't load X, so won't "need" the nvidia driver [04:03] Hi. I'm trying to install Ubuntu on one of my partitions but the Ubuntu's partitioner fails to see my Partition Table. How can I get it to go into one of my already created partitions? [04:04] how do i change permissions of a folder? [04:04] grim76: so in theory, ftp clients should work as well, right? Also, is my user chroot-ed? [04:04] chmod what? [04:04] theblue - try, from the command-line, running the command "dmesg" and reporting any errors [anything involving the word "mount" or "fat" is relevant to this] [04:04] !permissions > woli [04:04] woli, please see my private message [04:04] merther - what kind of system? [04:04] tritium: thanks [04:04] PMT: last thing, does it matter how i set up dual boot? i had ubuntu installed first. [04:04] balz: They should...and they should be chroot'd to that folder and the folders that are created under that folder. [04:05] hale3rd - it shouldn't. IIRC neither NTFS nor ext3 like moving the head of the filesystem around. [04:05] Try it and find out. :) [04:05] it's a p4 with a Seagate Baracuda 320 gig hard drive. First partition has Xp pro [04:05] PMT: looks like it thinks it is a CD-ROM drive. [04:05] PMT: but it's an SD reader. [04:05] theblue - ah, hurray. [04:05] grim76: I can cd to / but not to /etc ... the latter makes sense, but isn't the first one outside of the home directory? [04:05] is there a card in it? [04:05] PMT: yes. [04:05] pmt... i just pasted your changes into my xorg.conf. will ctrl+alt+bksp be enough to make your changes "live"? [04:05] formatted with fat, right? [04:05] ok, thanks dude!! [04:05] grafixbadnow - probably. try it and find out. :) [04:05] \O/ It is weird! Firefox can play Flash now but the sites think I don't have it ôÔ [04:06] grafixbadnow: yes [04:06] balz: if you compare cd / with the first ls -l they will more than likely be the same. [04:06] the first partition is ntfs and the partition I've set for Ubuntu is ext3 [04:06] merther - fascinating. does the partitioner see your hard drive at all? [04:06] grim76: oh right. / is relative or something, right? [04:06] is there anybody here who has like fifteen minutes of their time to help me out with getting my wireless card working under kubuntu 8.04? [04:06] balz: yes [04:06] kyrksaeterora_, ask your question and the room will answer. :) [04:07] ya shows /dev/hda. I can create a new partition table and install that way and it works fine but then I'd have to reinstall windows as it would override my boot loader [04:07] grim76: alright, thanks again. I'll just have to find a client that works now =) Can you recommend a windows client? [04:07] merther - not to mention your filesystems. :) [04:07] balz: For windows I either use command line, or filezilla. [04:07] jrib: how to connect to HPC in ubuntu? [04:07] is there any simple, non-command-line method of getting ndiswrapper installed? that's the big problem right now [04:07] right [04:07] grim76: okay thanks again [04:07] kyrksaeterora_, ndisgtk is the GUI thing, I believe. [04:07] ubuntu_todd: I don't know what HPC is. Just ask the channel [04:08] genii; I just re-wrote it with nano, thinking that was the problem, and the same thing happened. Any ideas? [04:08] balz: You are welcome [04:08] kyrksaeterora_, yeah, ndisgtk. Install it and run it, and it'll walk you through everything but finding the Windows driver for your card. :) [04:08] grafixbadnow, what's the good word? === patrick is now known as Guest62067 [04:09] I don't really mind reinstalling windows though. I'm worried that if doing that and putting on windows again I may have to reinstall linux again which would then not detect the partition table again. [04:09] [brb flickering away] [04:09] merther - you won't have to reinstall linux as long as you don't delete the linux partition. you'll just have to reinstall grub. === artillerodeluxe is now known as cesarhardy [04:09] [the bootloader] [04:09] pmt... no dice. but lemme try again. i think i copied some text artifacts from wiki into xorg. back in a sec [04:09] How do I just reinstall Grub. That done from the live cd part? [04:10] merther - someone in the room can help, but in short, grub-install '(hd0)' probably does what you want in most instances. [04:10] fyrmedic: Well, ^M means carriage return so likely something in pppd parsing [04:11] K i'm gonna try letting ubuntu partition the drive, then reintstalling windows then grub and see if that works [04:11] genii; thanks thats what I thought. I'll keep trying [04:11] PMT: how do i force this to mount as an SD card, rather than a CD-ROM drive? [04:11] pmt... yeah. it's dead. there is a split second of beautiful graphics immedately after ctrl+alt+bksp. then the screen flickers on off on off (like the graphic card is trying to figure things out)... then i'm back to 800x600 [04:12] is there any way to wget or apt-get ndiswrapper?

[04:18] Vista is not NTLDR [04:18] methinks PMT is helping a dozen of us at once. [04:18] But you can get NTLDR to boot Linux by the way :) [04:18] PMT, I ran what you wanted me to run.

[05:41] Ok I've gotten the keyboard to work now. I'm in the live cd so I need to mount the ubuntu partition right? [05:41] dli_, I restarted and it fixed itself [05:41] Wintervenom is this an older laptop (using APM vs ACPI)? [05:41] te: Line 15 contains an error. Report this error. [05:41] phuzion, good [05:41] bullgard4: where do i report, sir? [05:41] I can not get this disk mounted. Anyone have any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/58192/ [05:41] harriseldon, leanheart: OK, this is me face-palming at not thinking of the obvious. Thanks. :) [05:41] sorry but how do I do that? [05:41] phuzion, sounds like some running firefox in background [05:42] te: Here, in this channel (if it is short enough). [05:42] dli_, ps aux | grep firefox showed nothing, and I ran killall firefox a few times, and that didn't do anything either [05:42] could somebody please help me confirm that my ftp server is running? [05:42] or rather, that my ports are properly forwarded [05:42] saieno are you sure sda1 is ntfs formatted? [05:43] I'm trying to use the .deb package installer...I'm getting an error that says "Dependency is not satisfiable: liblqr1" Does it mean I'm screwed, or can I fix this somehow? [05:43] harriseldon, /dev/sda1 1 36482 293041633+ 7 HPFS/NTFS [05:43] harriseldon: It is a Toshiba Satellite M305-4830S. [05:43] bullgard4: how do i get that error? [05:43] bullgard4: as in, how do i make that sub-process error show itself? [05:44] RickZilla, if you are new to ubuntu, I suggest you use synaptic, or just "sudo apt-get install" to install packages [05:44] RickZilla, you don't have to handle .deb directly [05:44] saieno that is the drive format type from fdisk, not necessarily that the disk is actually formatted. Does the disk work in windows? might need to use chdisk from windows side. [05:44] dli_: I've tried that, but it installs an older version of this particular plugin than what I can use [05:44] I don't have windows anymore [05:44] I'm trying to install a plugin to GIMP, and those are the 2 options I have [05:45] harriseldon, when I try to get the info about the disk, I get "Couldn't find valid filesysetem superblock" using "sudo e2label /dev/sdd" [05:45] RickZilla, if you definitely need newer versions, you may try to upgrade to ubuntu-8.10 (beta), or backport the package [05:46] RickZilla, check whether the new version is in 8.10, http://packages.ubuntu.com [05:46] I'm not sure what you mean by "backport the package" [05:46] !backport [05:46] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [05:46] Can I upgrade to 8.10 without doing a clean install? [05:46] !8.10 [05:46] 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 [05:47] RickZilla: yes. change your sources.list to inteprid and do a dist-upgrade === titan is now known as Guest18228 [05:47] RickZilla, yes, it should be smooth for experienced users, if you don't want to risk, backports is better [05:47] are [05:47] bpat1434 you label the partition, not the device /dev/sdd1 not /dev/sdd [05:47] Ubuntu is telling me I have 700 updates to do and when I load up the Update Manager it starts talking about a partial upgrade... is it trying to upgrade me to the next ubuntu? If so, I don't want this. How do I get it to stop and only give me crucial security updates? [05:47] harriseldon, ah, okay === lacqui_ is now known as lacqui [05:47] jim_p and dli_: Thanks, I'll check that out [05:48] i'm trying to install hardy on a dell studio laptop, the install went fine, but when i reboot the screen goes white and then slowly gives me vertical lines and never makes it to the log in screen... anyone know what could be causing this? [05:48] Wintervenom it is definitely acpi. It is a very new laptop [05:48] RickZilla, check whether the version you want is in 8.10 first [05:48] As you can see, I'm a very new ubuntu user...but an experienced GIMP user, so getting that up and running is causing me some frustration [05:48] dli_: will do [05:48] dli_: why do i think that new-version+fresh packages is better than old-version+bakports? [05:49] hello.. how to change eth2 to eth0? [05:49] Wintervenom what do you get as the output from cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state (use pastebin) [05:49] when does ibex officially come out? [05:49] RickZilla: because i missed some part of the conversation, you want to install gimp 2.6? [05:49] !8.10 [05:49] 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 [05:49] RickZilla, 8.10 has gimp-2.6.1-1ubuntu2 [05:49] RickZilla: that is only in ibex? [05:49] BronzeWalla, reboot the computer and press escape when it tells you, select recovery mode. This will load up another window. In the window select "fix x server" or something like that. [05:49] jim_p, debian idea, do not encourage new users to testing [05:50] harriseldon, it didn't work. I used e2label, I can see the label; however, after umounting and mounting they still show as XXX.X GB Media instead of their label [05:50] harriseldon: It says there is no such file. [05:50] dli_: i mean for when 8.10 comes stable... [05:50] how to find the screen resolution in terminal? [05:50] In K-Network MAnager Icon I found out that my box uses eth2..How could I change it to eth0? [05:50] I'm trying to install 8.10 on my laptop, but when I select "install now" or any other option from the starting menu, it does not progress, anyone know why? [05:50] dli_: I'm using gimp 2.6.1 now...I need the updated version of this particular script [05:50] !8.10 [05:50] 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 [05:50] RickZilla, then, you should upgrade to 8.10, /j #ubuntu+1 [05:50] BronzeWallaThis should give the the x window manager. If the laptop you have has NVIDIA or ATI graphics card I suggest you get EnvyNG, install it and use that to install your graphics driver. [05:51] te: I believe it could be at the bottom of /var/log/apt/term.log. But I am not sure. [05:51] qema-hd winxp.ing [05:51] RickZilla, backporting gimp could be nasty [05:51] Although System > Administration > Network > (Network Settings) > Connections > Wired connection shows "Address: 192.168.178.11" ifconfig returns "inet addr: 192.168.178.25". What do I need to adjust so that ifconfig will show "inet addr:192.168.178.11"? [05:51] saieno disk may have errors. check out http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsck for details [05:51] brandon1: some minor problem i guess, since you can boot the live cd. use the alternative to install [05:51] harriseldon, leonheart: OK, that changed the fonts for Writer. How do I do the same for Calc? There doesn't seem to be an equivalent setting for it. [05:52] hey all, whats the haps [05:52] ttmrichter: i think not for calc :P [05:52] dli_: Ok, but I'm not even sure this plugin is in the new version [05:52] Leonheart: so I can't make it stop using a novelty font as its default in Calc? [05:53] I mean seriously, it's using the dumbest possible font: it can't be read unless it's at about 50pt. [05:53] ttmrichter: lol. what is that font? [05:53] RickZilla, if you need the current development version of gimp, the best chance is still going to 8.10 and backporting experimental, or just gimp-development [05:54] jim_p: Gear Crank, it's called. [05:54] how come dell mini 9's rhythmbox doesnt come with the jamendo plugin [05:54] dli_: I have the latest GIMP installed...just need the latest version of this plugin to work on it [05:54] im running ubuntu 8.04 and was just wondering how do you rotate the 3d cube? [05:54] lol [05:55] i have wobbly windows [05:55] RickZilla, 2.6.1 is the latest [05:55] hi, I am having a problem trying to install 8.10 on my laptop, when I select a boot option at the first menu, it just sits there and does not progress [05:55] i used to run beryl all the time but i dont see how to rotate cube [05:55] ttmrichter not elegant but you can use replacement fonts [05:55] en1gma: ctrl-alt-arrow [05:55] dli_: That's what I have [05:55] Quick ? I'm getting a new drive and besides LTS any other reason to upgrade from 7.04 on the 30th? [05:55] I upgraded it manually [05:55] en1gma: or ctrl-alt-mouse and spin it manually [05:55] en1gma, advanced desktop effects check synaptics [05:55] harriseldon: I'm not sure what you mean. [05:55] bullgard4: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58196/ [05:55] en1gma: hold ctrl + alt and move your mouse [05:55] ok need to check [05:55] is anybody interested in what the mini 9 is missing from regular ubuntu lol [05:55] RickZilla, as I said, 8.10 has 2.6.1 [05:55] cntrl-alt mouse dont work [05:56] i have the other effects though [05:56] could someone help me please? [05:56] need to have more then 1 desktop also [05:56] en1gma: then turn on cube [05:56] i set to 4 desktops in case the default 2 wasnt enough [05:56] brandon1: cant you boot to live cd? [05:56] and you need to turn cube on in advanced desktop effect [05:56] i downloaded compiz settings manager and did set 3d cube on [05:56] nope [05:56] already [05:56] it just sits there [05:56] brandon1, /j #ubuntu+1 [05:56] ttmrichter Tools->Options OpenOffice.Org Fonts (enable Apply replacement table). Then create a replacement from the bad font to the new font. [05:56] dli_: ...but I don't know if it has the latest version of this plugin, which is separate from GIMP [05:56] i tried dli, nobody responded there [05:56] digital_, might be onto something [05:56] !8.10 | brandon1 [05:56] brandon1: 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 [05:57] In K-Network MAnager Icon I found out that my box uses eth2..How could I change it to eth0? [05:57] and if there is no support at ubuntu+1, then what? [05:57] en1gma: can you ctrl-alt-arrow to spin the cube? [05:57] anyone wanna take a look? im having a problem with upgrading my packages: here is the error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58196/ [05:57] no i dont see a cuve [05:57] <[BD]Oric> d [05:57] i can do alot of other effects though [05:57] brandon1, I will try to help you in #ubuntu+1 [05:57] thanks [05:57] this is freenode right [05:58] rsw: yes [05:58] harriseldon: The problem isn't a bad font. The problem is a bad program insisting on using said font despite nobody actually asking for it. [05:58] dulak cntrl-alt-arrow is a slide [05:58] switches between 4 desktops [05:58] en1gma: turn off desktop wall then [05:58] en1gma: you can't have wall and cube together [05:58] !printer [05:58] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [05:58] ok going to check [05:59] ext2 or ext3 when installing ubuntu to usb key? [05:59] te: So there are too many errors. Try to find out the more important ones. Probably dmesg contains important errors. Run 'dmesg > dmesg.log20081016; gedit dmesg.log20081016' and analyze this log for error messages. [05:59] usually when you check cube it says turn wall off and offers to do it for you [05:59] en1gma: you also need rotate cube turned on [05:59] en1gma: http://ulyssesonline.com/2007/10/25/compiz-fusion-keyboard-shortcuts/ look at this [06:00] ttmrichter http://neowiki.neooffice.org/index.php/Setting_the_default_font_in_Calc,_Impress,_or_Draw [06:00] harriseldon: Some Googling tells me I need to get a custom DSDT file or something like that. [06:00] harriseldon: That looks like it's exactly the right ticket. Thanks! [06:00] 'Cept I have no idea where to find one of those. [06:01] can anyone help me with printer????my printer join my network and it got its own ip.... how do i add the printer? [06:01] Is it possible to disallow FTP on a per-user basis? I'm using vsftp if that's in any way significant. [06:01] Harriseldon: That did the trick. Thanks greatly. Where can I FedEx the cookies? [06:01] darkbishop: is it an hp?? [06:02] dli_: If I upgrade to 8.10, is it possible that .deb package I was trying earlier would work properly? [06:02] hi all. Any idea when mono 2.0 will be released for Hardy? [06:02] just upgraded to the newest kernel and reinstalled madwifi. when I rebooted, got to the part where the wifi module tried to load and got a kernel panic fatal error. Any suggestions? [06:02] jim_p, its a canon IR3300.. i already got the driver for it from the website [06:02] te (not officially supported, but seemed to work for someone) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227005 [06:02] It's a major release and some time has passed. shouldn't it be there by now? [06:02] How do I make usplash appear not stretched on a 1280x800 screen? [06:03] i still cant rotate [06:03] Some_Person, edit /etc/usplash.conf [06:03] Grub doesn't seem to detect the windows side. Can that be modified from within Ubuntu? [06:03] ttmrichter yw : ) [06:03] sup [06:03] RickZilla, not sure, unless it's built for the specific ubuntu version [06:03] e.g. 1024 x 768 should do [06:03] Some_Person: usplash is hardcoded into the kernel as a module. if you have the patience you can remake your own in 1280*800 [06:03] installing ubuntu to usb key with or without swap? [06:03] RickZilla, otherwise, you'd better get source of the .deb and build your own [06:03] Kr0ntab: It's already set to xres=1280 yres=800 [06:03] i found out something neat, i figured out how to post as other users on yahoo groups [06:03] Ven]n: i suggest without [06:04] jim_p, why? :) [06:04] then... sudo update-initramfs -u [06:04] Ven]n: too much readings and writings on the swap will reduce the usb stick life [06:04] Kr0ntab: Should I change it to a 4:3 res? [06:05] good evening all [06:05] * deserteagle waves [06:05] Wintervenom it looks like DSDT file is the compiled version of ACPI provided by hardware manufacturers. Windows is very liberal and skips errors. Linux does not, hence issues of hardware manufacturer targets Windows only and writes ACPI code with errors [06:05] en1gma: are you done with compiz? [06:05] change it to 1024 x 768... it typically sisn't stretched... did you enable framebuffer? [06:05] <|garrett|> whats the best MMORPG for linux [06:05] anyone know where i can get some info on vlc not playing more than a few frames of video (no sound issues) [06:05] *got no problem with sound [06:05] no [06:05] im still messing around [06:06] deserteagle: video output [06:06] Kr0ntab: I don't know. I never modified anything. Even the Live CD is stretched [06:06] it not clicking on what i click on [06:06] en1gma: http://ulyssesonline.com/2007/10/25/compiz-fusion-keyboard-shortcuts/ look at this [06:06] its hard to mess with [06:06] whats the native resolution for your monitor? [06:06] yea i had that site before i came her [06:06] bu tthanks [06:06] Kr0ntab: 1280x800 [06:06] balz: check /etc/vsftpd.ftpusers [06:06] Kr0ntab me? [06:06] oh [06:06] It's the only one that looks normal on it [06:06] Wintervenom here is a site with details on extracting and fixes your DSDT (http://users.telenet.be/PrittyFlemishPages/linux/aspire1800_3.html). I have never done it. I was hoping my laptop would have error just so I could try, but it did not. [06:06] deserteagle, sorry no... I was speaking to Some_Person [06:07] oh man that cntl-super is sweet [06:07] en1gma: what does it do? [06:07] fuck now all i need to do it drop some acid [06:07] lol [06:07] haha [06:07] water affect when you lift click mouse and drag [06:07] en1gma: please watch your language [06:07] sorry bought that [06:08] no one else has had problems with the latest kernel upgrade and madwifi? [06:08] Kr0ntab: So should I switch it to 1024x768 even though that isn't my monitor's native resolution? [06:08] Oh, wow, that looks complicated. [06:09] /etc/grub.conf is supposed to be empty if it's missing the windows partition right? [06:09] Some_Person, it wouldn't hurt anything... if anything it may improve if usplash isn't liking your 1280x800 [06:09] Wintervenom you can complain to Toshiba that ther ACPI code has errors, but I do not think you would get very far [06:09] Kr0ntab: It's stretched horizontally at 1280x800 [06:09] it's only adjusting the usplash screen resolution. [06:09] dulak: it doesn't exist [06:10] Kr0ntab: It shouldn't be streched at 1280x800, since that is the correct resolution for this display [06:10] But I'll try 1024x768 [06:10] balz: read the docs on vsftpd, I believe you can make that file and add users you want disabled but on my setup that file exists and has root listed [06:10] Some_Person, I know... it shouldn't. Cool deal. [06:10] balz: you should have ftp disabled for root and any user that has sudo access [06:11] dulak: ooh okay. it should be in the man page, right? [06:11] Kr0ntab: I have an Intel card if that matters, and this is a laptop [06:11] hai guys. through wine, im trying to install office 2007, but i think it needs "WIndows Installer 3.1" cause thats what i needed to installw hen i had windows for the cd to install itself.. how do i get that to do in wine? [06:11] Wintervenom you can try the first few steps without changing the DSDT installed. The errors may be basic syntax errors. It does not hurt. [06:11] does anyone know soundstrech [06:11] same here and I have the same res... [06:12] Kr0ntab: Can you check your usplash.conf? [06:12] I also enable framebuffer though... could try that too... [06:12] fsanlu: you shouldn't need it, but then again i used crossover office, i would recommend it. Less headaches and hassles [06:12] fsanlu: Use OpenOffice [06:12] how do I use kqemu on hardy or ibex? (everything I have found is for gutsy and involves compiling, wondring if that is still the case) [06:13] Some_Person, I use 1024x768 [06:13] fsanlu: wait... scratch that, i used crossover for office 2k3, regular wine for 2k7 [06:13] what's the difference between x-chat and xchat-gnome? [06:13] Kr0ntab: Ahh, I'll try that then [06:13] Azhi_Dahaka: just the gui [06:13] button alignments and stuff [06:13] Azhi_Dahaka: x-chat works on any Xwindows, xchat-gnome needs the gnome libs [06:13] hmm [06:14] fsanlu have you checked http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=4992 [06:14] how do i stop X11? [06:14] killall -9 x ? [06:14] err startx [06:14] ? [06:14] KDE4000: on kde? [06:14] KDE4000: /etc/init.d/gdm stop [06:14] ok gdm [06:14] sudo init 1 [06:14] can anyone tell me how to disable graphics of ati and nvidia?????? [06:14] i was looking for xdm [06:14] KDE4000 or kdm for kde [06:14] :) [06:15] indian_munnda: why? [06:15] harriseldon, thanks i will look into that [06:15] KDE4000: you need a sudo in front of what CarlFK [06:15] disable graphics? o.O as in no guiness? [06:15] said [06:15] yes [06:15] jim_p: i installed it yesterday but after rebooting system i mfacing problems with that. [06:15] worst comes to worst.. learning to use open office isnt even a big deal haha [06:15] o_O [06:15] oh, then in xorg.conf you'll need to take out the specific drivers you installed [06:16] i need kernel sources in /usr/src/linux gah [06:16] indian_munnda: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver [06:16] KDE4000 install linux-headers [06:16] KDE4000: you sure you don't just need the headers? [06:16] harriseldon: its a custom kernel [06:16] ok i got nv driver going [06:16] KDE4000 then just make a symlink [06:17] i couldent bear the 800x600 [06:17] :S [06:17] i just put 2.6.27.1 on ubuntu, as i need to get to my sata drive [06:17] ok,.. i think I may have figured out my prob,.. not that i've solved it, but that i may have identified it,... are there problems with having v4l1 and v4l2 installed on the same system? is there software that'll use v4l1 but not compatable w/ v4l2? and is camgrab one of those pieces of software,... the software I wanna use is camgrab,.. It'll use my Quickcam EC (/dev/video1), but not my Quickcam Pro 5000 (/dev/video0), though it works with [06:17] webcamd,... [06:18] Is Bluefish a good IDE? [06:19] anyone know how to add windows into grub? [06:20] jim_p: i did that and its showing 3 drivers kbd mouse and vesa.. [06:20] merther: can i pm you the lines? [06:20] merther: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-257334.html [06:20] yep [06:21] indian_munnda: then you are using vesa (generic driver, no 3d acceleration). what do you want to do? [06:21] #list [06:22] ubuntu-cn [06:22] #ubuntu-cn [06:22] jim_p: actually my all graphics are corrupted after i rebooted after installing ati and nvidia through envy but now grphics are not well. Its showing 4 desktop screens on my monitor screen. So what should is do to repair it???? [06:23] Although System > Administration > Network > (Network Settings) > Connections > Wired connection shows "Address: 192.168.178.11" ifconfig returns "inet addr: 192.168.178.25". What do I need to adjust so that ifconfig will show "inet addr:192.168.178.11"? [06:23] indian_munnda: 4 desktop screens? like compiz?!? [06:23] I need to make a process run automatically under a given user automatically on startup - what's the best approach for this? [06:24] bullgard4: /etc/network/interfaces [06:24] bullgard4: set your ip and such in there [06:24] jim_p: no not that but 4 desktop screen which are not even clear in viewing, i can't even read the icon names. [06:24] anydeb_ cron can kick off jobs at boot [06:24] jim_p: not compiz [06:24] harriseldon: under a specific user? [06:25] jim_p: i removed envy but no change [06:25] anydeb_ http://blog.lxpages.com/2007/05/10/neat-crontab-tricks/ [06:25] harriseldon: many thanks! [06:25] anydeb_ you use crontab -e as the specific user and it will run as that user [06:25] indian_munnda: what is your resolution now? [06:25] is there a way to create an alias to /etc/init.d/ so thath if i write restart it would recognize im taking about /etc/init.d/ restart ? [06:26] I have installed Flash Player 10 in Ubuntu Hardy. But it doesn't work pretty well. I can play YouTube videos, for example, but YouTube.com think I not have it installed [06:26] jim_p: You may be surprised: /etc/network/interfaces includes a line: "address 192.168.178.11." [06:27] jim_p: when it rebooted it asked for resolution i set it to something 12** x 10**. [06:27] Hilikus: you mean a new script? or do you want to restart something without /etc/init.d/...? [06:27] Hilikus are you coming from a Red Hat/Fedora background? Isn't that how it works in Fedora. service [servicename] restart? You can always create your own script called restart and write it yourself. [06:27] JulioNeto: i heard today that flash 10 is problematic with ff 3.03 [06:28] 3.0.3 jim_p ? [06:28] Hilikus very simple, it only needs the line (besides standard header) /etc/init.d/$1 restart [06:28] harriseldon no [06:28] Hilikus, sure... at the bottom of your ~/.bashrc file, add the following... alias restart='sudo /etc/init.d/$1 restart' [06:28] Hilikus: you can install sysvconfig and do what JulioNeto says [06:28] hehe [06:29] good one Kr0ntab [06:29] :-P [06:29] JulioNeto: yes. i am still at 9...124 in ff and 10 final in opera [06:30] jim_p: if i reinstall GDM will it effect my applications and data. [06:30] would that autocomplete too? [06:30] as if i was actually typing /etc/init.d/... [06:30] indian_munnda: they will close [06:31] Hilikus: if you install sysvconfig, all you have to do is sudo service samba restart, and restarts samba [06:31] jim_p: i mean if i do "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-destop" will it remove any applications from my computer or i lose any data from the partition??/ [06:32] indian_munnda: no [06:32] jim_p: ok then i am trying that now to make my graphica ok [06:32] ok [06:33] Hilikus, no.. autocomplete would not work without some additional configuration and bash autocomplete settings... [06:34] jim_p sysvconfig is an application? [06:34] Hilikus: yes, you install it from apt [06:34] Kr0ntab is there a way to "teach" autocomplete how to? [06:35] Hilikus: sysvconfig - A text menu based utility for configuring init script links [06:35] how do i search whether i have a certain file on my hard drive? [06:35] the file is" acpi-support " [06:35] redwhitewald1: find / -name acpi-support [06:35] jim_p whats the syntax again? i just hate typing so much to restart a service [06:35] redbox: sudo updatedb, and once its done locate "file.txt" [06:35] thats why i thought of an alias [06:35] joegeek: ty [06:36] ooops [06:36] Hilikus: sudo apt-get install sysvconfig [06:36] np [06:36] can anyone tell me, is this normal? (fs/jbd/recovery.c, 255): journal_recover: JBD: recovery, exit status 0, recovered transactions 660823 to 660949; (fs/jbd/recovery.c, 257): journal_recover: JBD: Replayed 980 and revoked 2/4 blocks [06:36] jim_p no i mean, once i have the package installed [06:36] jim_p the syntax to restart a service [06:37] Hi which pdf viewer can zoom about 100%? [06:37] Hilikus: sudo service [servicename] restart (or any other option like stop) [06:37] Hilikus: sudo service samba stop [06:37] redwhitewald1: if you get too many results add "| less" to the end [06:38] jim_p cool, thanks [06:38] i don't get this: when i did a find / -name on acpi-support, i get "/usr/share/acpi-support". Yet when I do "apt-get purge acpi-support", it says, "Package acpi-support is not installed, so not removed". help [06:38] abchirk what is wrong with evince (included with ubuntu)? [06:38] sorry I meant about 400% :P [06:39] is there a way to check the network usage> [06:39] harriseldon evince cannot zoom over 400% :( [06:39] which apps are using it and how much bandwidth it's eating each one? [06:39] redwhitewald1 sudo dpkg -S /etc/share/acpi-support [06:40] abchirk your requirement was 100% evince does that and more [06:40] Azhi_Dahaka: ntop . its an app that shows net usage etc . not sure about the apps [06:40] harriseldon was a mistake... I meant over 400% [06:41] anyone here good at setting up mysql and phpmyadmin [06:41] i am having some issues with it cound not connect as a control user ???? [06:41] abchirk: I can't remember how far it can zoom, but if you REALLY want to install Adobe Reader, you can. [06:42] testing [06:42] Intrepid supports full disk encryption right? I think the support is in hardy already actually... [06:42] thebossut, for development i suggest using xampp [06:42] Just bought a new hard drive (500G laptop :) but I'm figuring I should wait 2 weeks... [06:42] hm bobertdos I did that once with a free pdf viewer, cannot remember which it was. : [06:42] harriseldon: "dpkg: /etc/share/acpi-support not found" [06:42] whois ryuk [06:42] abchirk: maybe try xpdf? not sure if it can do more than 400, though... [06:42] Reinstalling hardy now only to install intrepid in 2 weeks seems a little silly [06:42] i am just using it for the control and making of my db's [06:42] i am not a dev [06:42] no xpdf can't do it too. :( [06:42] just trying to setup a CMS [06:43] YES [06:43] redwhitewald1 did I type the path wrong? It should be the filename that you got using find. Also make sure it is a capital S not lowercase === [BD]Oric_ is now known as [BD]Oric [06:43] Are there any more pdf viewers expect xpdf, evince, kpdf? [06:43] my ubuntu has severely been messed up... i sym-link a lot of stuff to a windows/linux shared partition running on NTFS and all of a sudden, I can't write to it (haven't messed with any configs for a long time). This has persisted after a reboot and /etc/fstab and ntfs-3g states seem fine [06:43] abchirk: acroread [06:43] chmac: Yeah, it should have crypt. I don't know if I'd be comfortable trying it with the beta, of course. [06:44] hey guys. my server doesn't initialize the eth0 on boot... what do i add to where? [06:44] xampp are supported by most application for a web-server purpose, so yes you can setup CMS with it [06:44] exit [06:44] jim_p is this free software without any licences? [06:44] bobertdos: I think encryption was in 8.04, so it should be safe once 8.10 goes final I hope :) === MidnighToker is now known as MidnighToker|Awa [06:44] abchirk: okular, epdfview, gv, pdfcube, viewpdf.app [06:45] abchirk: its adobes acrobat reader. free as in no $$ needed, but proprietary. the way opera is [06:45] hm. :( [06:45] jim_p: is there an~y command to set resolution from the CLI??? [06:45] fenerli7: Have you checked permissions and ownership of the main folder? [06:46] indian_munnda: there is the xrandr app, i dont know how to use it [06:46] thebossut, another alternative if you want to do the "hard", which is actualy an easy way, search on google with keywords:apache php mysql [06:46] bobertdos: to the mount point (/media/data in my case), yes, and it is mounted with the "user" option [06:46] abchirk: try maybe foxit reader? it's free as in beer (but not as in speech), and is for windows (so have to use wine), but i think it can do unlimited zoom... [06:47] jim_p: isn't there any other command for that [06:47] harriseldon: ok. check this out: ~# dpkg -S /usr/share/acpi-support. I got this printout on the next line: acpi-support-base: /usr/share/acpi-support. [06:47] indian_munnda: no. [06:47] indian_munnda: what's wrong with xrandr? [06:47] bobertdos: in fact, I've currently got it mounted with umask=0000 (i.e. rwx for everyone), ls -al /media/data confirms this [06:47] fenerli7: Knowing what it's mounted with is one thing, but checking the current ownership and permissions with ls is another thing. So have you looked at it using ls -l? [06:48] bobertdos: see my last message ;) [06:48] therealnanotube: i don't know how to use that [06:48] i have to go [06:48] fenerli7: aha ;) [06:48] later guys [06:48] abchirk: or maybe you could edit the evince source code to change the maximum zoom... not sure why it is limited to 400, but could be just an artificial limitation... [06:48] Conky: MPD error: problems getting a response from "localhost" on port 6600 : Connection refused ?? [06:48] indian_munnda: well, do you know how to use any others? if not, then xrandr is as good as anything. :) [06:48] does this mean, harriseldon, that the purge worked? [06:49] therealnanotube: is it a GUI application? [06:49] fenerli7 does running mount from the command line show that /media/data is mounted rw? [06:49] fenerli7: and user owns it, right? [06:49] hm therealnanotube with xpdf I can zoom into selections..maybe I get him to zoom all. :P [06:49] Aww, I don't get to use Compiz this month, either. :( [06:49] indian_munnda: didn't you ask for a CLI app to change resolution? [06:49] therealnanotube: yes exactly [06:49] fenerli7: hmm, and I assume you've tried remounting already [06:50] indian_munnda: so, "man xrandr" and off you go? :) [06:50] bobertdos, yep, tried rebooting, changing /etc/fstab options, re-mounting [06:50] therealnanotube: ok doing it now [06:50] abchirk: cool :) [06:50] redwhitewald1 it just means that no installed package provides that file. I am not sure about whether or not purge worked. [06:50] bobertdos: what mount command should i run to show it is mounted as rw? [06:50] abchirk: i do wonder though what's with the 400pct limit on evince and pals... [06:50] indian_munnda: good luck :) [06:50] fenerli7 mount without any further options [06:51] Is there a way to set the wlan0 as the primary when you have an eth0 on a different network set up? [06:52] Kr0ntab this is what i get [06:52] harriseldon: cheers, it is mounted as rw, "/dev/sda5 on /media/data type fuseblk (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=512)" [06:52] -bash: /etc/init.d/: is a directory [06:52] therealnanotube me too. :D [06:52] alias service="exec /etc/init.d/$1 $2" [06:52] re: when using e2fsck -b etc.. to restore alternative masterblock and the system says that the /sda1 is either mounted (when it is not!-) or another programme is using it exclusively-- what can one then do to proceed...? [06:52] abchirk: aha: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303365 [06:52] i tried without exec as well [06:52] abchirk: which also suggests "gpdf" [06:52] therealnanotube ah thx. :( [06:53] bzaks I usually edit /etc/network/interface to take eth0 out of control of network manager (explicitely define the settings) [06:53] grml, aptitude cannot find gpdf..:( :P [06:53] matt_: then how do I keep it utilized? [06:54] Hilikus, put alias restart='sudo /etc/init.d/$1 restart' in ~/.bashrc [06:54] fenerli7 if it were mounted as a specific user, there would be a uid= option. I do not see that. bobertdos is correct in verifying permissions then. [06:54] then type: ". .bashrc" in the terminal [06:54] Kr0ntab i dont want the alias to be sudoed [06:54] then... something like: restart ssh [06:54] you need it to be... [06:55] therealnanotube: it says can't open display. [06:55] if you are to actually perform the task... you need root privileges [06:55] cant i do sudo ssh restart ? [06:55] well i want to sudo the alias myself [06:55] harriseldon: yes, just noticed that... and I've also got a ntfs-3g/fuse problem when manually mounting as a non-root user [06:55] Hilikus yes you can do that just make sure you use the correct ` apostrophe thinger [06:56] fenerli7: We don't mean to be second guessing you. It's just that quite often, things aren't always what they seem when it comes to those stinkin' permissions and ownership. [06:56] therealnanotube: r u there??? [06:56] bobertdos: indeed [06:56] matt__: how do I keep my eth0 utilized and running? Do I need to activate it using ifconfig in my .profile or something? [06:56] Kr0ntab which one should it be? with ' it gives me the error i told you [06:57] -bash: /etc/init.d/: is a directory [06:57] ok, i now have a point to google from, thanks bobertdos and harriseldon, if you're curious, this was the problem: "Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE [06:57] library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated [06:57] FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at [06:57] http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged" [06:57] fenerli7: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:57] it seems $1 is not working [06:57] its just trying to run the directory path [06:57] sorry for flood, it wasn't supposed to paste like that :p [06:57] bzaks do you want to direct certain traffic to eth0 and certain traffic to wlan0? That has to do with the route table. [06:57] ok thx therealnanotube :) [06:57] if i compile the kernel 2.6.27, should i do something for my nvidia vidio card GM8600? [06:58] wartalker: you mean 8600M-GT? [06:58] wartalker: how did you install your NVidia driver? [06:58] I guess i made a typo in /etc/sudoers and now I can't sudo. how to fix it? [06:58] fenerli7:in ubuntu 2.6.24, i use envyng [06:58] when on my desktop, i run commands via ssh, it seems that the client laptop doesn't immediately reflect the command i ran. do i always have to reboot? [06:58] wartalker if you are using the free software driver, you do not need to do anything different. [06:58] harriseldon: Yeah, I want my standard internet traffic to go to 192.168.1.1 (through my wlan0) and my private network traffic to go through 10.1.2.x (dhcp), of course, I don't want to have to play with anything... is there a way to just set it up? I have VMs in virtual box with multiple interfaces and it seems to just work [06:59] what mean ? free software driver [06:59] wartalker: you're not using the free driver, don't worry [06:59] wartalker (not the restricted driver) [06:59] harriseldon:GM8600 GT [06:59] wartalker: to be sure, I would uninstall and reinstall the nvidia driver through envyng after upgrading the kernel [07:00] bzaks look up online about routing tables (specific command is route) [07:00] fenerli7: if i reboot to 2.26.24, does it work? [07:00] Hilikus, $1 represents the first variable you pass... so... in the command "restart ssh" ssh is $1. that simply means /etct/init.d/ssh will be referenced. [07:00] bzaks: click on NetworkManager, goto manual config, and change the ethernet interface from "roaming mode" to dhcp or static [07:00] hello [07:00] Hilikus, http://paste.ubuntu.com/58213/ [07:01] fenerli7: i mean i have 2 kernel [07:01] wartalker: it's on and off, it should work [07:01] fenerli7:thanks [07:01] wartalker: no worries [07:02] how hard is it to manually upgrade a kernel to the newest one 2.6.27? [07:02] gah, should i just make my data partition ext3 to get around this NTFS unsupported operations and privileges crap? [07:02] I am new in this irc [07:02] PoisonArrow: don't bother and do it when upgrading to Intrepid (the next Ubuntu version) [07:02] Can I ask someting here? [07:02] hrm, is there any good tool for setting hotkeys for certain commands in ubuntu [07:02] PoisonArrow: in fact, it will be done for you when you upgrade [07:02] Kr0ntab like i said, $1 substitution is not working, with you example i get pretty much the same thing [07:02] emacs style that is [07:02] hyundoj: yes, go ahead [07:02] fenerli7, I already have the Beta, and I absolutely love it [07:02] sudo: /etc/init.d/: command not found [07:03] its trying to run just /etc/init.d/ [07:03] i'll try $0 [07:03] tyberion_: xbindkeys [07:03] I installed ubutu 8.4 and crossover [07:03] fenerli7, Well nubuntu still has the old version, and I need the new version [07:03] PoisonArrow: oh, does the beta does not use 2.6.27? [07:03] to use MS office [07:03] fenerli7, no it does [07:03] PoisonArrow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile === [BD]Oric is now known as Guest91026 [07:03] nomad77: I cant set thingies like WIN+E, FOLLOWED BY (!!) WIN+K [07:03] Everything is working good, but access [07:03] with that can I [07:03] $0 is the command itself... [07:04] harriseldon, ok thanks [07:04] tyberion_: i've not tried it but probly [07:04] hyundoj: please don't separate your question, write it in one part otherwise it is hard to read [07:04] ah [07:04] ok [07:04] word, excel and power point is working but access. [07:04] getting really frustrated with nvidia drivers... when ubuntu is booting the screen with the loading bar is in hires... then it says it can't detect the proper video driver and I have to change it every time i boot.. but it never recognizes the correct driver or resolution... the 'hardware driver' deselects every time I boot up.. i turn it on and reboot and the same thing happens again and again [07:05] hello [07:05] hi [07:05] Tazbobu: have you got an xorg.conf set up? also, you might want to go to #nvidia [07:05] harriseldon, wouldnt I just need the header-files for driver support? [07:05] ñäåñÿ ÐÓÑÑÊÈÅ åñòü? [07:05] PoisonArrow if you want to only compile your own drivers into the current kernel, yes [07:05] hyundoj: access is one of the worst pieces of crap I have ever experienced, stay away from it. having said that, what is the problem with Access for you? === Guest91026 is now known as [BD]Oric [07:06] !ru | rena [07:06] rena: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [07:06] tazbobu: yes it is setup.. this all happened when I switched to the latest version of ubuntu.. it worked great before that [07:06] hyundoj: does it not open? === rena is now known as Roma [07:06] anybody had good experience with graphics display??????????? [07:06] is there a way to install the GUI on a server without all of the extras that come with the standard system? [07:06] Flannel yes [07:06] Tazbobu discuss in #ubuntu+1 [07:06] no it does not open and I need it for class [07:06] Hilikus, im working on it [07:07] Flannel, hey man, how's it going? [07:07] howdy jeeves_Moss [07:07] harriseldon, ok thanks, are there 2.6.27 kernel headers available? [07:07] how's it going over therE? [07:07] Flannel: can uhelp me with graphics? [07:07] hyundoj: I'm afraid I'm not sure what the reason would be. Can you try open it through a terminal and see if there any errors? [07:07] PoisonArrow by default the headers will be for your current kernel if through the repos [07:08] indian_munnda: Could you explain some details of the problem, please? [07:08] jeeves_Moss depends on what you want to run in the "GUI" [07:08] jeeves_Moss you can always install just x, but very few gui apps depend on just x. [07:08] fenerli7: Could you tell me how to opne it through a terminal? [07:09] I am trying to install ubuntu-xen-desktop but facing problems, paste here: http://pastebin.com/m1b398b7b [07:09] Hilikus, it may not work after all... the alias is declared and the $1 is not refreshed each time you use the alias.

I can't even read what is written there? [07:10] where my I find Ubuntus linux-headers-2.6.27-5-generic for download? [07:10] jeeves_Moss just do not install any of the meta packages like gnome-desktop or kde-desktop. If you install an app that requires gtk or qt libraries, just those libraries will be installed. [07:11] infact here: http://pastebin.com/m1aed5dc1 This shows that python2.5 is install, but still I can't install xen... [07:11] bobertdos: and when i tried to set my resolution using xrandr it said can't open display.

I want to eat my mini-oreos without the white filling. How can I go about this? [07:12] indian_munnda: sounds like your drivers are corrupted or improperly installed. Was your display working properly at any point? [07:13] On gnome, I cannot switch focus to a window by clicking on it, i have to alt-tab or use the window list on the panel. Why might this be?

How can I go about this? [07:14] PoisonArrow the driver code will reference c header files in order to call kernel functions. It will not reference the actual implementation of the headers, the code itself. [07:14] harriseldon, oh [07:15] 1228 people in room =-O [07:16] indian_munnda: I'd try to revert if possible.

[07:21] with dosbox game launcher and dosbox 0.72 i cant move in prince of persia [07:22] it recognises atleast space, enter and esc keys but not arrows [07:22] uncola, there should be a "Gnome MPlayer" [07:22] so something is working === klikkluk is now known as rinovan [07:22] fenerr hmm is it case sensitive? [07:22] uncola: Use apt-get in the terminal or Synaptic to find packages easier. [07:22] bobertdos: the file xorg.conf is consisting 3 drivers kdb mouse and vesa, do i need to install anyone from these [07:22] uncola: not sure [07:22] doubt it [07:23] Does anybody know how to restrict FTP acces on a per-user basis with vsftp? Also, would somebody mind looking over my config file for obvious security holes? [07:23] what can explain this problem? I run nvidia-settings, it takes such a long idle time after I press enter to load the settings up, with the following messages... http://paste.ubuntu.com/58221/ what do i do? [07:23] uncola: Next to "Show:" change the setting to "All Applications" [07:23] bimber ohhhh that was my problem [07:23] thanks, you do your people credit, earth man [07:23] hello? [07:23] Hello everyone [07:23] uncola: err, thanks :) [07:24] hello ! [07:24] Fenerl, how are you? [07:24] is there something to allow hibernation with encrytped swap? [07:24] indian_munnda: No, just reconfigure the ones you've already installed. [07:24] indian_munnda: Also, you might want to read the wiki entry on X. [07:24] this ain't the place for small talk, but i'm fine, thanks for asking [07:24] !x > indian_munnda [07:24] indian_munnda, please see my private message [07:24] http://pastecode.com/8340 - vmware has been throwin these errors and refusing to start ever since I went from FF to HH - help x.x [07:24] indian_munnda, kaisai hai munday [07:25] tried dpkg-reconfigure, no avail [07:26] speedhunt3r: fine thank u, but who r u? [07:26] indian_munnda, someone who understands and speaks hindi. [07:27] speedhunt3r: and punjabi too :) [07:27] indian_munnda, same here...i'm from punjab [07:27] speedhunt3r: ok [07:28] why the f won't my mount unmount? fuser -c ... shows no processes for all users but I get "device is busy" [07:28] linux is slowly pushing me back to Windows or maybe to OSX :'( [07:29] Why don't you use Fedora ! [07:29] that was a PITA with the SELinux crap that [07:29] if i have chroot-ed all users logging into vsftpd, can I still use ssl? I was told that this wasn't possible for proftpd and others [07:30] hello - does anyone have advise on how to extend my partition? [07:30] http://pastecode.com/8340 - vmware has been throwin these errors and refusing to start ever since I went from FF to HH - help x.x [07:31] murphypoon: thanks for the suggestion though, I should have tried harder with Fedora, maybe even disable SELinux, Ubuntu seems to be trying to be like Windows and causing more problems with each of their patches and solutions :( [07:31] bobertdos: there r somany packages of xserver-xorg how to i type all of them at once?? === xitherun is now known as tacticalbread [07:31] so how can I check why a device (partition) is busy besides "sudo fuser -c /path/to/mount_point" === tacticalbread is now known as xitherun [07:32] indian_munnda:one is a group [07:32] ok managed dig this up on the forums [07:32] gparted [07:32] thanks [07:32] indian_munnda: forgot which one too [07:32] bn43: was that to me? [07:32] feneli7: sorry didn't get u. [07:33] indian_munnda one of those xserver-xorg packages is a group containing all the needed packages [07:33] so you won't have to type them all out [07:33] indian_munnda: Well actually, you envy'd ati drivers, right? I'd try the ati ones first. [07:33] bobertdos: yes [07:33] indian_munnda: or listen to fenerli7 [07:33] i have an app that i cant remove off the desktop, what can i do to remove it? [07:34] droopsta915: you mean a launcher (shortcut) for an app? [07:34] fenerli7: can u tell me the package name [07:34]  indian_munnda: I've lost all my apt skills so I don't know which package it is [07:35] <[BD]Oric> clear [07:35] hi, whenever I try to update to Intrepid, from Hardy, I get an error that "Authenticating the upgrade failed." is there a problem with my computer, or a problem with the server? [07:35] fenerli7: is it xgl? [07:35] fenerli7: i installed a program with wine, and i received an error when running it, now i cant remove that error of the desktop. [07:35] actually: it is xserver-xorg [07:36] xserver-xorg installs xserver-xorg-core and everything else you need [07:36] Is there somewhere I can select from which server I get updates? [07:36] How do I find out what I am using for flash in ubuntu 8.04/firefox? I am thinking or trying the new adobe flash 10 to see if it works better, but have forgotten what I am currently running. [07:36] fenerli7: ok thanks dude, im tring it now. [07:36] droopsta915: open a terminal, then type "sudo rm /home/yourusername/Desktop/whatevertheappiscalled" [07:37] (without the quotes) [07:37] anyone gonna help with my unmount problem or do I have to reboot? [07:37] dailman, in Firefox, go to tools -> add-ons, and pick the Plugins tab. you can see what flash plugins you have installed from there [07:37] fine, i'll reboot, bitches :p [07:38] sad when I reboot more frequently in Linux than I did in Windows [07:38] I asked a friend to `ssh -R 1024:localhost:22 mymachine.com` then I `ssh -p 1024 localhost` and I get "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host". Any suggestions? [07:38] Hi I want to install flash "astro" via apt how can I do that? [07:39] eh, I meant dialman. [07:39] fenerli7, are you booting already or what! :P [07:39] transcendo closing/saving all my stuff first [07:40] transcendo: thanks for at least paying attention though [07:40] :D [07:40] fenerli7, what is your unmount problem? [07:40] it says device is busy when it clearly isn't [07:40] gonna set the anti-flood bitch off but here is the problem: [07:40] chmac: add -v to your ssh -p 1024 localhost and see if it gives more info [07:41] $ sudo fuser -c /media/data [07:41] $ sudo umount /media/data [07:41] umount: /media/data: device is busy [07:41] fenerli7: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:41] dulak: Nothing very helpful :( [07:41] dulak: Happy to pastebin if you like [07:41] i will never use wine again! I cant get rid of this damn error message! How can i get rid of it? [07:41] <[BD]Oric> :) [07:41] droopsta915: what is the error message? [07:41] xitherun any idea or should I just reboot? [07:41] dulak: It says "debug1: Connection established." then runs the identity files, then disconnects [07:42] chmac: I am testing it here sec [07:42] fenerli7, are you sure it's not busy? [07:42] dulak: It works from my ubuntu laptop to my server, but not from my mate's laptop [07:42] did you close everything that would be using it [07:42] xitherun: how can I check? I'm sure it isn't and fuser seems to confirm that [07:42] PC speed scan has encountered an error [07:42] what is /media/data? pendrive? [07:43] witch is the dumb program i was trying to use [07:43] /media/data not pendrive [07:43] transcendo: my NTFS partition for data storage [07:43] chmac: that works great for me actually [07:43] lol, im not very bright, its time for bed. [07:43] fenerli7, ah. you should probably just reboot. it would be very bad to just unplug that [07:43] chmac: pastebin the verbose output [07:43] pc speedscan is malware, isn't it? [07:44] xitherun especially considering the device also holds my root partition :D [07:44] ok, brb [07:44] transcendo, /media/data not pendrive [07:44] cishpix, ah ok... i fedora :P [07:44] droopsta915:yes get rid of that pc speed scan shit [07:44] dulak: http://rafb.net/p/0kovsS29.html [07:44] fenerli7, we'll be waiting to hear from you [07:44] so has anyone else had trouble upgrading to Intrepid? [07:44] hi guys i want to learn gtk+ [07:45] how do i install it [07:45] transcendo: sorry, we just discuss ubuntu family not FEDORA [07:45] xitherun: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks [07:45] xitherun: I did it the cd-way. Works quite well here. [07:45] cishpix, ah ok... i don't know how i got here!!! [07:45] :D [07:45] bobertdos: i worked dude. yeahhhhhhhhhh [07:45] indian_munnda: excellent [07:45] bobertdos: hip hip hurrey [07:45] Flannel, oh sorry, I wasn't aware. I'll try there, thanks [07:46] bobertdos: thanks man u helped me a lot [07:46] transcendo, u can join in fedora channel [07:46] dulak: Trouble is, it looks like a server issue, and my mate's not much of a geek [07:46] cishpix, i'm there too... i do run ubuntu livecd once in a while.... so this is home as well [07:46] indian_munnda: glad to be of service [07:46] chmac: couple things to check, /etc/host.deny might have an ssh entry [07:46] bobertdos: :) [07:47] dulak: Nothing in either hosts.deny or hosts.allow :( [07:47] fenerli7: i would like to thank u also if u r there. [07:47] cishpix, but how can you say that /media/data isn't a pendrive... could be anything [07:47] dulak: Ok, so on his machine `ps aux | grep sshd | wc -l` returns 1 :( [07:47] anyone know of any new web dev sites like Heroku or assembla? [07:47] dulak: `sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart` returns nothing [07:47] chmac: ok, have your buddy shutdown sshd, then run it manually in test mod,: /usr/sbin/sshd -t [07:47] dulak: He's having weird problems with his machine, I'm trying to get onto it so I can help... [07:47] chmac: see if that pops any errors [07:47] transcendo: u can run "df -h" to check it [07:48] yes but if you label a pendrive 'data' and insert it... it mounts as /media/data [07:48] dulak: I think the problem is somewhere else. If he runs `sudo su -` it doesn't su to root, but it doesn't produce an error either [07:48] argh! forget it! :D [07:48] welcome back fenerli7 [07:49] fenerli7: thanks man [07:49] indian_munnda: or what? [07:49] argh! i got a headache now... i've been getting these regularly ever since i switched to linux :P [07:49] fenerli7: i gave me the solution for xserver [07:50] transcendo hi again.. damn ubuntu boot time [07:50] transcendo: heh [07:50] fenerli7: and it worked :) [07:50] indian_munnda: ah :) no worries [07:50] chmac: the root problem could be somewhere else but sshd -t will show if sshd is ok or not, if it's not ok and it's due to something else it might give a hint, or at least let you know you need to come up with another way to get into his box [07:51] dulak: Trying that now... :) [07:51] don't you love it when solving an error leads to another error [07:51] hey anybody familiar with xbindkeys???? [07:51] tyberion: only used it once [07:52] :D [07:52] http://pastecode.com/8340 - vmware has been throwin these errors and refusing to start ever since I went from FF to HH - help x.x [07:52] dulak: He gets "bash: /usr/sbin/sshd: No such file or directory" [07:52] I've been using ubuntu for about 4 months but I still feel like a total n00b. Slowly but surely I've got almost everything working, and it may seem minor, but I can't seem to figure out how to be able to play the movie trailers on apple movie trailers. No matter what i do I seem to get "no video" or "Please upgrade to the newest version of Quicktime" (which does not link to a linux version). Any suggestions? [07:53] yep, ubuntu does that to you [07:53] is there a way to make a usb flashdrive formatted with hfs+ not readonly? [07:53] jaredhoyt: nope, HFS+ support in Linux is read only afaik [07:53] :( [07:53] chmac: that's a problem, bets your wc -l is counting the error message from grep, he doesn't have sshd installed, but he has ssh client installed [07:53] jaredhoyt: HFS-nonPlus is r/w but not + [07:53] seriously, headache is unbearable :D ... catch you all later... later i need to look for ways to set up the scanner... darn it... and then find a way to mount a harddisk that is acting weird ever since i upgraded the firmware... darn it... [07:53] * transcendo off to puccatown [07:54] is there ANY way to use xbindkeys to use COMMAND combinations, like SUPER+E,SUPER+X to run certain applications, pls help me [07:54] LSD|Ninja: is the plus "Journaled" ? [07:54] dulak: Aha, ok, no ssh installed, that could be possible. I figured sshd would be installed if /etc/init.d/ssh was there [07:54] chmac: have him apt-get install openssh-server [07:54] dulak: I realise wc -l is counting grep, that's what I meant, no sshd running! [07:54] BTW: Ubuntu is the first linux install I've ever tried. I had so much trouble getting anything else to even boot from my laptop I finally went with the first install that could make it all the way from the install CD... [07:55] Hello everyone [07:55] dulak: I was getting "debug1: Connection established." in the debug output which confused me. I forget ubuntu doesn't include an ssh server by default. [07:56] chmac: the connection was established by the tunnel, not sshd [07:56] dulak: Just realised that, DOH! :) [07:56] dulak: We'll get there eventually. I'm used to Fedora where openssh is installed by default [07:56] chmac: don't feel too bad I spent like an hour once trying to figure out why I couldn't ssh into a box before I remembered client and server are seperate packages [07:57] :) [07:57] Used to use a different terminal program that was quite nice but can't remember the name of it or find it in Synaptics? Anyone know? ? ? [07:57] êòîíèòü äàéòå ññûëî÷êó ãäå ìîæíî ñêà÷àòü ÏÅÐÅÂÎÄÈ×Ê (ðóññêî-àíãëèéñêèé è àíãëî-ðóññêèé) [07:58] annie_g: there are a bunch, I like aterm myself [07:58] where can i find on which vanilla kernel is an ubuntu kernel based? [07:58] !kernel | Turms [07:58] Turms: 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 [07:59] !ru | Daniil [07:59] Daniil: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [07:59] does anybody know how to add third party modules to webmin? [07:59] !ru [07:59] balz: We don't support webmin in this channel [07:59] Daniil: /join #ubuntu-ru [07:59] dulak: aterm - does this have different sessions you can open at same time, change backgrounds colors, etc? [07:59] dulak: I thought he had a root terminal, but he gets permission denied for apt-get, then no output at all from sudo apt-get :( [07:59] Flannel: oops! my bad. Is there a webmin channel? [08:00] is there ANY way to use xbindkeys to use COMMAND combinations, like SUPER+E,SUPER+X to run certain applications..?? [08:00] chmac: somethign is definitely not right with his setup there, does he have X up and running? If so he can use synaptic to install the package [08:00] what i mean is, on top of what 2.6.27-rc is 2.6.27-3-generic based? [08:00] or any other application? [08:00] dulak: He does have X I think, excellent suggestion, I'll try synaptic [08:00] balz: doesn't look like it, at least not on freenode. http://www.webmin.com/community.html has a few ways to get in touch though it seems. [08:01] annie_g: you can do that stuff but it's all based on the command line you use to run it, there are a lot of terminals out there [08:01] dulak: Seems like one I was thinking of with certain key commands - would pop down from top of screen ready to use - it was pretty cool... [08:01] dulak: ok thanks a bunch [08:01] dulak: He's borked his permissions on his main user account somehow. Hopefully the data is still there in his homedir. [08:01] annie_g: tilda or yakuake(sp) m,ay be what you're thinking of [08:01] dulak: I think he tried to resolve some ".dmrc is being ignored" error and has inadvertently messed with permissions in the extreme [08:02] annie_g: they both do the drop down FPS-style console thing [08:02] Flannel: okay thanks much! [08:05] annie_g, its called yakuake becuase its inspired by the quake1-3 type console available in the game...and its method of appearing when using a hotkey [08:05] LSD|Ninja: Will install these and see if what I'm looking - Thanks much. [08:05] Guake is prettier for gnome [08:05] dulak, yeah i think yakuake is using qt libs hence aimed more for kde [08:06] airtonix: Will try Yakuake 1st - Thanks! [08:06] dulak: Ok, so turns out he's running as an unprivileged user because he's using his guest account and doesn't know his root password. :( :( :( [08:06] annie_g, if you are in kde that would be good but its fairly identical to tilda [08:06] chmac: there's no root password on ubuntu since the root account is disabvled? [08:06] chmac: root is disabled on ubuntu [08:07] chmac: and his guest password probably doesn't have sudo access [08:07] dulak: Yeah, that's the issue I reckon === DarkLamp is now known as swust [08:08] when i compile compat-wireless, it said : you should enable in it CONFIG_NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE for 802.11[ne] support, what mean [08:08] chmac: the quick and dirty way to fix him is to have him drop to a terminal and login as his normal user [08:08] http://pastecode.com/8340 - vmware has been throwin these errors and refusing to start ever since I went from FF to HH - help x.x [08:09] airtonix: running gnome - haven't used kde for quite a spell - like the cleaner, simpler interface, desktop, etc. of gnome. So is the yakuake designed to run in kde only? === ntinos_ is now known as ntinoulis [08:09] chmac: then he should have sudo access from that account to install the openssh-server package and let you in [08:09] annie_g, then try tilda first, since installing yakuake will install libs that you will only use for one program [08:09] dulak: I'm trying that now, here's hoping... :) [08:09] annie_g: try guake instead, it's gnome version of tilda [08:10] annie_g, or as dulak mentioned...guake [08:10] i have a video dvd with extras on it... and running ubuntu hardy... how can i view the extras on the dvd? [08:10] airtonix: Coll - thx for the tip - will give it a whirl. [08:10] Cool [08:10] annie_g, try to avoid installing any kde type app if you want to keep it clean and kde free... [08:11] arooni, try using VLC to play your DVD [08:13] airtonix: Yea - found that out quite awhile back - tried installing a few favorites I liked and actually missed in Gnome - they just did not want play well and get along with the Gnome environment. One was a popular music player - just couldn't get it to run good w/out having errors or problems - so just install and run apps best suited for Gnome now. [08:15] annie_g, remember that you have the awesome tool zenity to provide a gui interface to any kind of script you need to make...

Version 2.22.1-1 (hardy), package size 1447 kB, installed size 4304 kB [08:15] hello there... ive got a little trouble, Im using compiz on gnome and try to achieve a fluxbox like behaviour with hotkey management, e.g. try to use key sequences to open certain commands , like win+w,win+i -> open certain folder, win+w,win+k open another folder, already tried xbindkeys but I can appearantly not get it to work, any idea? [08:16] tyberion, yes, have you tired using the ccsm? [08:16] airtonix: zenity? haven't used that yet? Will look up on google. [08:16] tried* [08:16] airtonix: uhm, yeah.. but I just cannot set SEQUENCES of keys there????? [08:16] annie_g, many nautilus scripts will use it somewhere in there [08:17] tyberion, oh right...hotkey chaining is a foriegn concept to me [08:17] xitherun, but i tired; there is an error message [08:17] airtonix: heh, thought so, Im wondering why no one is using those >( [08:18] arooni, what's the error? I've used VLC for DVDs before [08:18] tyberion, maybe try disabling all hotkeys that compiz is setup for then retry your xwinkeys [08:18] hello all, [08:18] airtonix: gotta love the irc support channel - many questions answered here - and new idea's and ways of doing things discovered here - Great stuff.... :o) [08:19] airtonix: done already...:( [08:19] annie_g, tutorials & tips section on the ubuntuforums is also great [08:19] my keyboard third level chooser (the AltGr key) does not seem to have any effect. Any hints on how to get it to work? [08:19] xitherun : Unable to open 'dvd:///dev/hda' [08:20] arooni, try /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdrom1 [08:20] arooni, or /dev/cdrom0 [08:20] airtonix: Yes - need to do more searching here as well. [08:21] airtonix, how do i know which one it is? [08:21] Don't you unbuntu has made being on a computer fun again I must say! [08:21] grub ont install when i give it (hd0,0) hd0,0 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 etc [08:21] Don't you know [08:21] emy grub corrupted after installing and booting off it once [08:22] arooni try till one works, then you know which it is [08:22] ok if i type mount [08:22] i get the right drive [08:22] and it works great [08:22] how do i check it [08:22] thanks for everyones help! [08:23] fsck closes in like 5 sec so it cant e actually checking it [08:23] how do I find out the version of the ati driver I'm using? [08:23] hey guys [08:23] apt-show ati? [08:23] arooni, i just put a dvd in my drive and vlc autostarted....might want to try this guide for enabling that behaviour (which i'll hunt down) [08:23] http://pastecode.com/8340 - vmware has been throwin these errors and refusing to start ever since I went from FF to HH - help x.x === [BD]Oric is now known as Guest88887 [08:24] arooni, read the vlc section here : http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Installing_VLC_Media_Player [08:24] dulak: Woohoo. Got ssh working. Thanks for all your help man. Now here's hoping I can resolve his permissions problems! :) [08:25] arooni, labeled : How to make VLC open when you insert a DVD [08:25] ive installed ubuntu to a usb key.. but i want to use part of the usbkey in windows.. is that possible? ive resized my ubuntu install and made a partition in fat32.. but windows only gets the drive letter for ubuntu partition (which it cant read).. both partitions are shown in disk manager but i cant assign a letter to the fat32 one.. any ideas? [08:25] how to know the information about the led monitor === Guest88887 is now known as [BD]Oric [08:25] how can i check the areas outside the partitions for corruption? [08:26] what is ssh - d? [08:27] arooni, i also had a look at the properties of the dvd via the icon on the desktop with right click-> properties and inside the permissions tab it says : the persmissions of cdrom0 could not be determined....so there is a way to tell which /dev/ device is your dvd :) === ferran is now known as Guest64876 [08:28] arooni, although that just might be talking about the persmissions of /media/cdrom0 .. cant be sure [08:29] Venin: I have had that issue myself, windows seems to only want to work off the first partition [08:29] corndog, its for creating a local port to proxy stuff through [08:29] corndog, man ssh :) [08:30] dulak: im suspecting i might have to resize the ext so the fat32 comes BEFORE ext3 and not AFTER... if you know what i mean [08:30] Venin: yeah that's what I meant, windows wants that first partition in the table to be fat32 === Guest64876 is now known as ferrangil [08:31] ok [08:31] might work if i rearrange it === hannes_ is now known as Hannes3 [08:33] thanks dulak [08:34] proxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxy [08:34] can i keep my software when i install 8.10 [08:34] ?

(ubuntu 8.04) [08:46] i just had trouble with corruption on my last 1st partition on this drive though and it booted once fine [08:46] scent: Then its not stage1 thats the issue. The issue is your stage1 isn't looking for stage 1.5 (or stage 2) in the right place.

[08:48] i did fsck, but that only checks partitions [08:48] airtonix someone wanted to know what the diff b/w adblock and adblock plus is [08:49] so what would be keeping it from loading [08:49] scent: fsck [08:49] testdisk ?

[08:49] How can I disable warning about new windows modes when I am booting with new splash screen? (ubuntu 8.04) [08:49] aion what do you mean by windows modes? [08:50] fenerli7, the default resolution for splash is 800*600, when I changed it to 1024*768, grub told that its unsafe to boot with "new window modes" and each time I need to press spacebar to skip this warning [08:51] *srry for my english [08:51] aion what graphics card do you have [08:51] I hope this is the right place to bring this problem, if not just point the way and I'll be on it.

When I tried to install WinXP again the setup program froze on me. [08:56] I tried to install from my old win 98 cd, figuring I might be able to just install it and upgrade later, but it gave me an error accusing me of bad partitions (if needed, I can duplicate the error message.)

[09:52] fenerli7, so I just plug in my broadband modem via USB port and Ubuntu will connect to internet? [09:52] Safri, you can use the screen command [09:52] i have a shared folder on ubantu machine and need to access it from my windows machine. have set te network is visible on both machines but cannot get to the shared folder from the windows machine.. any adea? [09:52] notdkw: even if I append & it will be ended [09:52] Safri, you can use the screen command [09:52] lisa_: in the next ubuntu, yes.

[09:54] Safri: e.g. gedit & [09:54]  lisa_: it might also be in your notification area (on the top right by default) [09:54] magnetron, ActionParsnip thank you guys === [BD]Oric is now known as Guest63115 [09:55] freite: you set it to dhcp as normal but add a default gateway yourself, that will override the gateway yielded from dhcp === Guest63115 is now known as Oric [09:55] fenerli7, I dont see it, where is it?

[09:57] Safri, i run my irc client in a screen session on a ssh server :D [09:57] Safri: ssh into the remote machine, use screen to start the session, start your wget [09:57] Safri: then use control A + D to detach. [09:57] exit [09:57] fenerli7, any other ideas? [09:57] lisa_: maybe it isn't installed? go into synaptic and search "network manager" [09:58] freite: then let 1 be set from dhcp and set one to localhost for gateway, or use a static ip on the interface to not have a gateway [09:58] hey action how i change it [09:58] Hi! I'm on Intrepid beta and I'm trying to download the kernel source but apt-get complains that it can't check the gnupg signature and therefor quits. Any help? Please?

[11:13] you were very much helpful [11:13] Lykkefeen install ubuntu-desktop [11:13] after i did set again those two options in the grub file (splash quiet) the booting was pretty acceptable and fast again [11:13] why is that ? [11:13] alarm: what spec is the system? [11:13] ikonia: How can it be a user error that taskel removes the terminal when I ask it to remove LAMP? :D Sorry but I really don't get it :) [11:13] ActionParsnip, what do u mean ? === jabba is now known as jabba80 [11:13] alarm: the most common issue will be things like dhcp - so your dhcp server may have been slow responding [11:13] alarm: cpu speed, ram [11:14] Agent_bob: Thanks I'll try that :) [11:14] Lykkefeen you made a mistake in what you told it to do [11:14] 2.5 core duo 4gb ram [11:14] alarm: ok cool [11:14] ikonia, true, but why is that big change ? i mean the same system, with and without splash,quiet options have a difference in booting like over 4-5 minutes. [11:15] thought that those options are to be seen or hide information and nothing more [11:15] test [11:15] alarm oh you mean the splash screen makes teh difference, [11:15] #ubuntu [11:15] alarm: not sure really. id check what the options actually do, maybe it'll let you know [11:15] alarm: weird one though dude [11:15] alarm things like frambuffer support for your video card can make a difference [11:15] ActionParsnip, the remove the progress bar while loading [11:15] (just an easy example) [11:15] ikonia: Have you any idea of what mistake it could have been, I'm totally blank... I unchecked the box with LAMP-server, and hit enter - is there anything tricky in tasksel? [11:15] ikonia, yes, with the progress bar everything goes smooth and fast, without it , it takes too long [11:16] @ikonia, alarm what about bootchart? [11:16] how do I get makedev to add my cdrom-drive ? I run Ubuntu, and the fact that it's not recognizing the cdrom (samsung, don't know what type, laptop) is driving me insane! [11:16] Lykkefeen I don't know, you said you whre tired [11:16] quink___, whats that ? [11:16] alarm splash and vga= can both affect kernel frame buffering which in turn can affect acpi [11:16] @alarm http://www.bootchart.org/samples.html === rux is now known as ahiga [11:17] madsj run sudo fdisk -l to see all avalable partitions, perhaps it is not seeing it as a cd but knows the device is there [11:17] @alarm Since, with splash, you don't know what's going on except for going into syslog later, bootchart can reveal a few things too [11:17] i see so, removing splash can effect on the system [11:17] alarm yes [11:17] IS there a way to change the default keyboard layout on the live CD? [11:17] quink___, that was the meaning for me removing splash , to see whats going on and where the system was hanging (which was on "Preparing restricted drivers" [11:18] dns53, it lists the HDD-partitions I made, but not the cdrom-device [11:18] after installing the new kernel seemed to work pretty smooth actually (while using the splash) [11:18] ikonia: Sorry I didn't write it that clear, what I meant by "tired" was that I installed all the LAMP components first seperately before I realised how tedious that was, so then I installed it using tasksel instead :) No sleeping in taskel :D [11:19] Lykkefeen still most likley user error, but I don't know tasksel much as I use synaptic [11:19] all that information shown during the boot , are on stored on dmesg , kernel.log ? or where ? [11:20] alarm up to the strtup scripts, dmesg [11:20] running /dev/MAKEDEV sda didn't make me happier either [11:20] okie [11:20] alarm the output of the init scripts is not logged unless they do it internally. i.e. it's up to the script to log it's output. [11:20] madsj, you should have udev, no need for MAKEDEV [11:21] okie, got it :) [11:21] is it worth to add such a bootchart and see whats going on ? [11:21] anybody know thename of the sans and sans-serif font in ubuntu they are awesome [11:23] alarm might be easier to just disable gdm on startup then you can study the output from the console. shift+pgup works until you switch tty's [11:23] okie ! thank you :) === scientes___ is now known as scientes [11:24] how can i update to PyQt4.4.3 .. some unstable repoS maybe ? [11:24] Im looking for a smart way to deply multiple ubuntu machine.

[11:25] benedikt_: of you could use dd with the hard drives to copy the data from dive to drive, essentially cloning it [11:26] benedikt_: i think you'd have to setup grub thought [11:26] is that how you make a raid 1? [11:26] !raid | scientes [11:26] scientes: raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [11:26] ActionParsnip: no thats not what i want either. dd clones empty spaces too, and i would have to set up grup. the images would be huge. [11:26] dns53, yes udevd is running [11:27] I will take a acronsi image, and im leanin to making a simple bash script ot set the hostname and join the directory. [11:27] passive1 intrepid does have that version, wait a few weeks [11:27] can raid 1 work when not raided silentally? [11:27] benedikt_: you could set up a local repository on your network to distribute update packages [11:28] madsj i'm not smart enough to hack around udev myself [11:28] can i take the other out and have it stil work without a beat? [11:28] dns53, Aint there any deb repos. I don't need it to be stable package though ? [11:28] ActionParsnip: i think you are misunderstanding me. I have 70 machines with empty hard drives. All are the same. And i am gonig to deploy ubuntu on them, the same setup. [11:28] this cdrom-problem is driving me nuts! === Milos_ is now known as Milos [11:28] passive1 you could look for a ppa archive, perhaps the developers have back ported it [11:29] benedikt_: id use something commercial then, norton ghost server is sweet imho [11:30] dns53: Thanks [11:30] in calc you have are able to use conditional formatting is there a way to assign other colors then the ones that are predefined? [11:30] passive1 seems to have it https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-members-kde4/+archive [11:30] ActionParsnip: I use acronis, it practily does the same. But if i take a image of a ubuntu setup then i have to manually edit the hostname and jon the directory etc etc. Thats a bit of a hassle. Im looking for something like sysprep in windows, that ill just prompt me for hostname when i have deployed the image and stated the computer [11:31] benedikt_: or you could use netinstall however I'm not familiar with this [11:31] kk [11:32] benedikt_: i get what you mean, we used ghostwalk to change host names, you could use ssh to each pc but its still a ball ache, you could script it [11:32] dngr, Inc(thanks) [11:33] ghostwalk sound interesting [11:33] benedikt_: http://www.wrigley.me.uk/wp/2005/01/09/ubuntu-netinstall-without-cdrom/ [11:33] benedikt_: im not sue if it works on linux, we used it on NT [11:34] I have a Ubuntu+Vista dualboot. But as i always keeps loads of programs open, i use hibernate all the time under Vista. Which kind of keeps me from starting up Ubuntu. Would it be possible to hibernate, then run Ubuntu and then return to the open Vista session? [11:34] ActionParsnip, someone told me that you need to place some files in /boot, and you should be able to install using a network-connection; [11:34] haven't done it myself, though [11:34] hey guys [11:34] madsj: ive never tried tbh [11:35] punk3r: link doesnt work. dns fails.

[11:57] hey ppl [11:58] ActionParsnip, yes, I installed the drivers there and it works in that kernel [11:58] Hi all. I am looking to connect my Toshiba laptop to my wireless network. Funny thing is when I first installed UBUNTU it worked perfectly. I then installed VMWARE and some updates that UBUNTU told me to install, rebooted and now it seems as if the driver is not installed. Any ideas? [11:58] I just don't know what I'm doing wrong this time [11:58] sluimers: then switch to the old kernel [11:58] the driver is an update though [11:59] but the newer has got something else working if I'm correct [11:59] newer ernel [11:59] kernel [11:59] why does firefox ignore trickled settings?

How can I tell? [12:00] If I'm correct, the newer kernel has got webcam working for a yahoo clone.. I'd love to have that [12:00] its such a pain in the ass getting firefox to honour bandwidth shaping rules set with trickled or trickle [12:00] when you boot up just press escape to go to the boot loader [12:01] then you might see the various kernel versions into which you can login [12:01] select lowest one [12:01] see if things work in that case [12:01] and if that fixes it then what should I do to prevent that happening in the future? [12:02] if they do then you just need to recompile your drivers into the newest kernel [12:02] in grub.conf you can either set the older kernel as the default boot choice [12:02] okay, let me see what that does and I will be back to find out how to recompile to new kernel [12:02] sure [12:02] feel free to pm [12:02] !enter > shantanu [12:02] shantanu, please see my private message [12:02] Thanks!!! === drowner79 is now known as drowner === drowner is now known as drowner_ [12:03] hey guys [12:03] re: upgrading distros === Altmenorg is now known as Tonio_ [12:03] if you have a LTS, eg heron, can you 'skip' an upgrade [12:04] like, could I skip Ibex, and still upgrade from the repos?

[13:02] sluimers: I see [13:02] I mean, I get no errors [13:02] no warnings [13:03] ahtmly2k: in kubuntu you find this feature here: KDE Control Center -> Desktop -> Behavior. at "Menu Bar at Top of Screen" select the "Current application's menu bar (Mac OS-style)". however, thats in kubuntu, not ubuntu. i have never seen such option in ubuntu/gnome. [13:03] I've had sound not working before and usually alsmixer then didn't work anymore. [13:03] *alsamixer [13:03] ubottu [13:03] jrib: and strangely, even the only help.ubuntu.com page i could find about suspend and hibernate has instructions for, erm, Hoary or something. i recall when 30% of questions in this channel were about standby/hibernate, seems either nobody cares anymore, or they've all given up... =) there is also /etc/default/acpi-support, but it's enabled even there [13:04] Akhanu`, do you know any tests I could run? [13:04] ubottu,but i wanna customize my linux kernel [13:04] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:04] to see everything is into place? [13:04] i wanna install in a embeded system [13:04] hmmm . . . is this a bug or does someone think someone hacked into computer . . . everytime i moved my mouse to click or close the window the mouse would move away [13:04] sluimers: I'm thining of anything you can do, but usually if the controls of the mixer work, that means you have the sound driver and all in place. === Oric is now known as Guest42103 === Guest24268 is now known as maek0 [13:05] LjL, have a look on launchpad [13:05] I don't need the display/keyboard/mice/ and my drivers [13:06] I want to write a script for autoconnecting my internet. It's a USB Modem. I've got it working manually with wvdial. I want to flash an icon in the systray when the modems detected, and change it when connection is established. Can someone help me get started? Should I use Python? [13:06] LjL^: I wish I knew how to get gnome-panel to print somewhere. the panel seems to query gnome-power-manager [13:06] hello,does someone can help me [13:06] or give me some advices [13:06] Akhanu`, never mind, it works now [13:06] I'm new to Linux coding, and want to try this as a 'hello world' style prog to get my teeth into it. [13:06] sluimers: and what was it ? [13:06] i wanna customize build my kernel. [13:07] what does the ubuntu added in linux kernel? [13:07] i am a newer of linux and ubuntu [13:07] plz help me [13:07] no idea, the motherboard has two Audio I/O thingies [13:07] ham: If you're asking about the kernel its prob best that you don't touch it :) [13:07] I just put it in the other one [13:07] I've done that before though [13:07] jrib: for that matter, in gnome-power-preferences, i *have* "put the computer on standby after" (at least, i assume "pausa" means "standby" here). don't know if that actually works. but surely there's usually supposed to be a "Standby" button in the shutdown dialog? [13:07] sluimers: lol. I told you to check that, you did it only now ? [13:07] ofcourse it is. only way to learn is to touch and try [13:07] I did it before [13:08] d00dz, Yesterday, I installed Ubuntu and then after that, installed Windows. So, obviously MBR suppressed Grub and Linux. I re-enabled Grub as usual from a live disk. I did an entry in menu.lst to include Windows. But now, when I take Windows, its says "Invalid Drive" or something. What should I do ? [13:08] sluimers: The cmos reset might have changed the order of detection for those or anything. For me certain things in the bios are twilight zone. [13:08] hello [13:08] Why do i need Avahi for? Can i turn it off? [13:08] can someone help install gtk+ [13:08] plz [13:08] can i burn xbox360 iso games with brasero 0.8.2? [13:09] Okay, well I could swear I've tried this yesterday and didn't get any sound at all [13:09] is there any utility that do this? [13:09] from either of them [13:09] LjL^: maybe if you 'gnome-session-save --kill', you'll get some output. It shouldn't log you out. It should be the same as what happens when you hit quit === mph is now known as morphy [13:09] ntemis: you can burn anything you like with brasero just as you can do the same with NeroBurning [13:09] darksifer: you already have gtk+ [13:09] ntemis: I used to burn PS2 disks in Brasero. Don't know about XBox though [13:10] oh well, thanks for your help Akhanu` [13:10] h4wk0>why, but i must customize my kernel linux [13:10] LjL^, first...is your system bios using apm or acpi? [13:10] airtonix, do you have anything specific in mind? i searched launchpad bugs for "standby" and "suspend" but i mostly get a lot of cruft [13:10] ntemis: You just need to think of the copy protection things. [13:10] d00dz, Yesterday, I installed Ubuntu and then after that, installed Windows. So, obviously MBR suppressed Grub and Linux. I re-enabled Grub as usual from a live disk. I did an entry in menu.lst to include Windows. But now, when I take Windows, its says "Invalid Drive" or something. What should I do ? [13:10] Pls someone reply :( [13:10] sluimers: no worries. yw [13:10] because my equipment is 250MHz ppc [13:10] jrib: no output [13:10] akhanu` i need to burn xbox360 specific support [13:11] because of the layer break [13:11] airtonix: i don't know about that. if that's relevant to how ubuntu decides whether or not to enable suspend, though, i'll go and check [13:11] this is not my own computer, so i'm not especially familiar with it or know what's set in the BIOS [13:11] ok [13:12] ntemis: I'd google around for any forums that discuss this topic then. I doubt you'll find many here who have a speciffic experience as you require. [13:12] Pls Pls guys, help me out. Here's the question : [13:12] Yesterday, I installed Ubuntu and then after that, installed Windows. So, obviously MBR suppressed Grub and Linux. I re-enabled Grub as usual from a live disk. I did an entry in menu.lst to include Windows. But now, when I take Windows, its says "Invalid Drive" or something. What should I do ? [13:12] No Ideas about Avahi? [13:12] !grub | r0ach [13:12] r0ach: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [13:12] LjL^, With ubuntu hardy, the systems hibernate/suspend behaviour is dictated by this file : /etc/hibernate/common.conf [13:12] what does the ubuntu add in linux kernel? [13:12] Azhi_Dahaka, are you asking what avahi is? [13:13] Well... kinda [13:13] ubottu: Not about losing Grub. I can't make Grub to book my Windows installation [13:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:13] airtonix: i don't have an /etc/hibernate directory [13:13] ham: I don't know for sure but not much I'd think, if not nothing at all. [13:13] i read the man page, but i don't know if i nee it [13:13] hi ppl i have aproblem with my sound [13:13] :S [13:13] could someone help me out [13:13] how do i open gtk+ then? [13:14] How do I find which (hdx, y) contains my Windows ? [13:14] LjL, is the system in question running ubuntu hardy? [13:14] airtonix, yes [13:14] airtonix: a fresh install, too [13:15] Come on guys, I posted the condensed version of the question. Pls pls pls [13:15] LjL, i just ran : locate hibernate [13:15] guy the sound problem is making me feel very uncomfortable could someone help me with that [13:15] Akhanu,in general, every linux distribution add what in kernel? [13:15] airtonix: i only have hibernate-related files in /etc/acpi, and a pm-hibernate in /usr/sbin [13:15] LjL, and this is the results : http://paste2.org/552868 [13:15] r0ach: sudo fdisk -l [13:15] Why is everyone ignoring me ? :'( [13:15] ok, do i need the bluetooth service if I use a dongle from time to time> [13:16] comicinker1: That returns the "sdax" stuff [13:16] r0ach: sudo fdisk -l | grep NTFS [13:16] Azhi_Dahaka, if you want to use the dongle, yes [13:16] or is the dongle handled by something else? [13:16] hmm [13:16] airtonix: maybe yours is an upgrade from an older version and that file isn't used anymore in a fresh hardy? [13:16] comicinker1: You need the (hdx, y) right ? [13:16] LjL, has the hibernate package been installed? [13:16] !who | Azhi_Dahaka [13:16] Azhi_Dahaka: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:16] Akhanu: I'll try it out right now [13:16] LjL, i never upgrade [13:16] r0ach: yes [13:17] LjL, upgrades are a sure way to a messy system [13:17] r0ach: it is something linke /dev/hdb1 [13:17] airtonix, uhm no, it's not installed. but is it needed? hibernate itself works, just suspend doesn't. i thought the hibernate package was "legacy" (it's even in universe) [13:17] comicinker1: I know. But how do I know which one contains my Windows ? [13:18] comicinker1: I tried (hd0,0) [13:18] r0ach: did you run the previous ? [13:18] airtonix: anyway do you say it's worth to reboot, go to the BIOS and change APM to ACPI or vice versa? [13:18] I installed ibex clean over but with a seperate home drive with kubuntu 3.5 hardy. Now Places Homefolder.......desktop etc won't load and say Failed to execute child process "kfmclient" (No such file or directory) Is there anything I can do to change it and use naut? [13:18] Anyone know if VLC by default is built with -enable-pvr and x264 ? [13:18] LjL, only problem i had with hibernate/suspend/resume was that sound did not work when returning [13:18] Akhanu`: Yes man. It gave me the "sda" of my windows drive [13:18] read post from Akhanu` or post the output somewhere [13:18] airtonix: ah yes, i've had that with Sound Blaster cards previously [13:18] Akhanu`: But I need the (hdx, y) thingy [13:18] r0ach: sda?(number) [13:19] Akhanu`: Its /dev/sda1 [13:19] guys i need help in fixing up my sound [13:19] LjL, i think that installing that package gave me those conf files which allowed me to create a script to shutdown alsa before hiberantion and turn it on again when resuming [13:19] hmm... what on earth is gdomap supposed to do? i just read the man page and have no idea what it does :/ [13:19] divinesoul: describe your problem exactly please [13:20] r0ach: On my Ubuntu CD there was a Disk Management utility, that showed me all the partitions and their filesystems and sizes graphically. But now I've installed ubuntu, it's gone :( [13:20] i'll have a quick reboot [13:20] i update the kernel from 2.6.24-19 to 2.6.24-21 now i have lost my sound [13:20] i do not get any sound output at all [13:20] r0ach: (hd0,0) I'd think. [13:20] Spudz_: Isn't it a live disk ? And, are u talking about GParted ? [13:21] Akhanu`: No luck man. :) [13:21] divinesoul: there was a fellow with the same problem in #kubuntu, they've left now, but just to let you know... perhaps it's actually a bug [13:21] LjL^, my board was also created by foxconn like most peoples so when i hibernate/suspend then resume...the system locks up when trying to restart or shutdown at that point === Angar is now known as xhunter [13:21] Akhanu`: Sorry that smiley was meant to be :( [13:21] Hi all [13:21] so whats the solution [13:21] Hey leutz [13:21] LjL^, this is due to the way the bios delivers its capabilities to any OS that identifies itself as linux [13:21] Are compiz better then beryl? [13:22] !beryl | simon1245 [13:22] simon1245: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [13:22] r0ach: You can try with several (hdX,0) combinations though. The last 0 is a 0 because it's partition "1" you said it was the number at sda1 [13:22] Hello [13:23] Akhanu`: Just curious. But, what does diff hdx mean ? I mean, does it mean diff hard drives ? [13:23] r0ach: have you tried to see and change the (hdX,0) parameter inline ? [13:23] Ok [13:23] Can i use both on same computer? [13:23] simon1245: both what? [13:23] I have a problem... when I click the quit button no menu appears but my panels disappear (;.;) can someone tell me how to fix this? [13:23] Compiz and beryl? [13:23] Akhanu`: You mean like, in the Grub screen, I press e and edit the line and press [13:23] Can anyone help me with japa? I get lots of xrun errors. I have shown the output here http://pastebin.com/d1b68b934 [13:23] r0ach: to diff hard drives? I can't think of anything else but see if they are identical or not. That can hardly be true. [13:24] simon1245: did you read what ubottu just said? [13:24] r0ach: yes that one, with "e" [13:24] !who | simon1245 [13:24] simon1245: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:24] simon1245: read it again [13:24] Compiz Fusion is where it is, simon1245 [13:24] Jrib: No i havent [13:24] Akhanu`: I'll try it out. But this is weird man. Cuz my linux is (hd0,5) [13:24] Beryl is no more [13:24] I have compiz on this computer now [13:24] simon1245: there is no more beryl. there is no more compiz. Now there is just compiz-fusion [13:25] r0ach: well, do you have a different /boot partition ? [13:25] Is it possible to download Beryl [13:25] ... [13:25] Akhanu`: I tried (hd0,0), (hd0,1), (hd0,3) etc upto (hd0,6) [13:25] simon1245: you mean compiz [13:25] simon1245: you don't need beryl [13:25] Yea [13:25] simon1245, if you have fusion you already have beryl.

[13:31] (it*) [13:31] No its no check or something [13:31] Akhanu`: My Windows partition was corrupt when I installed Ubuntu. So it didn't detect. Is there anyway to make it detect again ?

Version 0.0.20071227.dfsg-1 (hardy), package size 492 kB, installed size 1184 kB [13:48] using nspluginwrapper with flash. shouldn't it do a wait() when npviewer.bin crashes? as it is it's just leaving a zombie process around that doesn't go away until I restart firefox [13:48] Mixed_--_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games [13:48] airtonix, i got a bunch of hits for sauerbraten on google, im going to see if i can compile the games, if not then ill use apt-get, dont know if it'll work on xubuntu or gOS [13:48] LjL^: ah, well that explains some things. To satisfy my curiousity, what happens when you run dbus-monitor "sender='org.freedesktop.PowerManagement'" hit quit in the gnome menu, and then cancel? [13:48] Mixed_--_, sauerbraten is in the repos [13:49] Mixed_--_, i tried getting the new version compiled...wasnt successful myself [13:49] Mixed_--_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cube [13:49] airtonix, thanks!!!!!!! im going to browse that page, my nieces love frozenbubble, when they see it installed on my ubuntustudio distro theyre going to be thrilled!!! [13:50] Mixed_--_, i remember when that game was in the arcades :) [13:50] airtonic, in some streets of nyc they still have those machines [13:51] jrib: this happens http://paste.ubuntu.com/58329/ - anyway, i've also tried echoing "standby" to /sys/power/state, and that, erm, sort of works. it doesn't turn off my screen (the X11 screen is left there frozen), but the computer does standby. when resuming, i need to cycle to a terminal and then back to X to get a screen. it's far from ideal, but shows that it can potentially do it... [13:51] hi all, I need to change the bindmethod in the slapd.conf file from simple to kerberos, so I wrote bindmethod=kerberos but nothing works, is that modification enough or I have to make any other changes ? [13:51] LjL^: weird, if it returns true, I would have assumed the menu item would show up [13:52] jrib: well, what is it returning true about? i see it returning a false, *and* a true. isn't possibly the true about hibernate, and the false about suspend? [13:53] LjL^: first one is for suspend, second one is for hibernate. dbus-monitor | grep -i -C 2 power seems to be more informative [13:53] hi , i wanted to create user in ubuntu , i used the command ( useradd -m -p serene12 serene )i got an error like this Usage: useradd [options] LOGIN Unable to create serene user. [13:53] jrib: well then since hibernate does work, it looks "right" [13:54] pls can anyone say wats wrong in this..i saw the man pages the options r correct [13:54] serene: use useradd for creating [13:54] i dont know why i am not able to create [13:54] serene: errr..... adduser [13:54] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58330/ [13:54] hello [13:54] serene: ran it with sudo? [13:55] yes i gave the command sudo useradd -m -p serene12 serene [13:55] i sometime have problems with my / partition (jfs) when booting and it gets mounted as read-only, which renders x server useless [13:55] serene: whats the secound serene for? [13:56] serene12 is the password and serene is the login name [13:56] serene: did you try to use "adduser" instead ? [13:56] the only way I can fix the problem is to connect my laptop to AC [13:56] serene: you will get promted for the password after adding the user, so leave the first serene12 [13:56] hello all, can anyone tell me where i can find info about intalling mac osx applications in ubuntu is there a WINE type program that exists [13:56] i didn't try with adduser [13:57] i wil try with that [13:57] hi all.... im having a problem with my audio since i upgraded to hardy.... as soon as i boot it works fine but later i get no sound... does anyone know what causing this... [13:57] is there a way to boot manually, ignoring the fact that the laptop is running on battery? [13:57] (i. e. check hard disks & so on) [13:57] serene: "sudo useradd -m -p serene", than promted forpassword [13:57] LjL^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58331/ [13:58] serene, Try to add with out password then use the passwd command to creat the password [13:58] no i want to run it together in a single script [13:58] LjL^: I gave you the wrong function, but you get the idea [13:58] <^AnGeL_BoY^> :D [13:58] LjL^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58332/ [13:59] jrib: moment, i wass fiddling with installing swsusp which is not generating an initrd, and i can barely move the mouse due to the amount of thrashing ;) [14:01] jrib: uhm ok but that seems to 1) ask the power manager whether the computer can suspend 2) check the can_suspend gconf entry, no? but the problem is, why does the power manager believe my computer can't suspend to begin with [14:02] LjL^: does hibernate show up in your logout menu? [14:02] jrib: yes, it does, and it even works (except a few times, it doesn't because it complains the swap partition isn't big enough) [14:02] adduser didn't work [14:03] i wanna do it in single command line [14:03] jrib: that's consistent with the fact that "pmi capabilities" only returns "hibernate" [14:03] serene: what error do you get if any ? [14:03] LjL^: oh, I thought they both weren't showing up. That makes sense then [14:03] i gave the command sudo adduser -m -p serene12 serene [14:03] serene: odd. adduser has always worked for me [14:03] serene: "man useradd" [14:04] jrib: i tried this too: tina@frabox:~$ gnome-power-cmd.sh suspend Suspending Error org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.NoHardwareSupport: Suspend is not available on this computer [14:04] serene: and what output did you get? [14:04] Unknown option: m [14:04] unknown option:p [14:04] using adduser [14:04] serene: so why are you trying to use -m and -p? [14:05] jrib: i'll reboot again and see if swsusp helps any (i doubt it) [14:05] wizzardyesterday are you out there [14:05] i wanna create user give the password for user in a sing line [14:05] i want to do it in shell script [14:05] serene: read 'man adduser' and 'man useradd' [14:05] serene: read man useradd [14:05] ClintHexa ;) [14:05] adduser is just a link to useradd [14:05] btw [14:05] oh fine.. [14:06] ichbinesderelch: it's not [14:06] but why am i getting the error even if i have used the correct command ( sudo useradd -m -p serene12 serene) [14:06] serene: as far as I know, -p is an option of useradd and not adduser [14:06] ok srsy its not ^^ [14:07] yea and even -m is not option of adduser [14:07] serene: that's not the command you pasted before [14:07] i need serious help i think. I've messed up passwd shadow and group :( [14:07] when i ls -la i get uid and groups as numbers, when i sudo ls -la i can see the names why is that? [14:07] someone told me to use adduser [14:07] instead of useradd [14:07] pls can anyone help [14:07] serene: yes, but if you do that you need to read its man page as they are different. You won't be able to use adduser non-interactively afaik [14:08] also if i ssh into the box (server) i get :"i have no name!" prompt [14:08] serene: does adduser work when you test it just with "adduser" and no options at all? Not even a loginame, just "adduser" [14:08] i thought that someone will be there to guide me but at last i came to know that there is no help over here [14:08] ok fine...but i dont want interactively...i am running a shell script for user and password i do have shell variables [14:09] divinesoul: no one can help you if you make remarks like that instead of asking a question. Please be patient [14:09] serene: yes but one step at a time. At least you can determine if you're able to add users at all or not.

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 :) [14:09] i have already asked a question [14:09] more than thrice [14:10] divinesoul: so ask it again every 15 minutes or so for people that are new [14:10] !tab [14:10] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. === ryuk is now known as xianwen [14:10] jrib: suspend is underrated anyway... the usual line is "it's so hard to implement properly, with proprietary drivers and all". but heck, i don't believe i even have any proprietary drivers on that computer, and if just echoing "standby" to /sys/power/state almost does the trick, it can't be that difficult to have it out of the box [14:10] ubottu: thanks..i am very new to everything ( i am learning , thanks for guidence) [14:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:10] how to use ubottu plz [14:10] !ubottu > Oric [14:10] Oric, please see my private message [14:10] !ubottu this is a test [14:11] is that right?

[14:12] hi, all [14:12] hi [14:12] can someone help me a bit with the :"i have no name!" prompt [14:12] hi [14:12] what's the better widget system, screenlets or gdesklets? [14:12] anyone know Micah Cowan? === mephisto_ is now known as RolfCopter === Oric_ is now known as Dark [14:13] !Oric test [14:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about oric test [14:15] bump [14:16] Hello everyone! Ok, here's the deal: I just installed Hardy on my laptop. I chose to use the restricted nVIDIA driver, since I have a GeForce 7150M. The thing is that I seem to be stuck on a refresh rate of 50 hz, and I can't choose another refresh rate because it gives me no choices. [14:16] uhm, I'm having some trouble with twinview and opengl games, is this the right place to be asking? I've never used ICR before [14:16] hi! how can I install lots of packages all in one folder all in once? using tab as a completition is annoying because there are 30 of them and most of them are different only in the last numbers/letters [14:16] jrib: it's certainly something lower level than GNOME anyway. i just tried installing kpowersave, it doesn't offer suspend either, and gives on the console: kpowersave: WARNING: Property: power_management.can_standby for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer doesn't exist. [14:16] is there an easier way to install all of those *at once*? [14:16] white_eagle: how are you trying to install them [14:17] ikonia: sudo dpkg -i [packages] [14:17] Sarge_TJ: I have the same problem and am stuck with it. It's a driver issue I think and there's not much I've done for that. [14:17] white_eagle: just do a while lop [14:17] ikonia: ? [14:17] jrib: that "doesn't exist" sounds a bit weird to me though [14:17] !pastebin [14:17] 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) [14:17] for i in *.dpkg do dpkg -i $i done [14:17] oops [14:17] for i in *.deb do dpkg -$i [14:17] done [14:18] are there many differences between hardy and drake ? [14:18] ikonia: still you need the -i [14:18] oops [14:18] 4i -i got confused [14:18] $i [14:18] piasdom: loads [14:18] ikonia: how exactly? :) [14:18] white_eagle: ooh come on, I've just given it to you [14:18] wiki.ubuntu.com is down [14:18] piasdom: about 2 years of development and polish [14:18] ikonia: haha I'm kidding [14:18] ikonia: with sudo right? [14:18] white_eagle: ahhh just checking [14:19] white_eagle: yeah, spot on [14:19] you know which is better to run a cnc mill ? === cathberg is now known as hubuntu [14:19] /join ##paroxysm [14:19] ops [14:19] silly thing [14:19] ikonia: hahaha [14:19] piasdom: what do you mean? [14:19] Okay, whenever I run a fullscreen opengl game with my twinview setup, the fullscreen game is centered at the right of my already right screen. I was searching for this problem on various forums, and it seems a lot of people have the issue, but absolutely nobody has a solution. Does anybody here know anything about it? [14:20] drakim: you may have a better discussion in #nvidia as the twinview functions are part of the closed source nvidia dirver [14:20] ah, okay, thanks [14:20] ok so my Gnome desktop has stopped working. It will load up until the desktop but then the only thing it will show is the wallpaper. Nothing else... my KDE works though... anyone have any clue what's going on? [14:20] i have hardy now but was wondering if drake would be better to control a cnc [14:20] titan_: does that happen when you login as a different user ? [14:20] piasdom: hardy is the current release so normally the best bet [14:20] nope, same user [14:20] I only have 1 user [14:20] titan_: you can try backing up and deleting .gnome, .gnome2, and .gconf [14:20] I haven't tried root [14:21] titan_: add another user and try that [14:21] thanks ikonia [14:21] hi, i just installed 2.6.24-21...the sound is not working [14:21] piasdom--> dont you need some kind of a realtime system than the stock ubuntu? perhaps like an embedded ? [14:21] where are .gnome .gnome2 and .gconf located? [14:21] titan_: root won't do [14:21] ikonia: thanks very much! :) [14:21] bye [14:21] titan_: in your home folder, they're hidden [14:21] titan_: at the /home/username/ directory [14:21] ok, I will try that [14:22] Can anyone help me please? My headphone and the speaker somethings making sound at the same time. [14:22] is anyone aware of the recent kernel breaking the atheros driver with a possible fix ? [14:22] titan_: you can see them by hitting "ls -A" in a terminal, or showing hidden files in dolphin [14:22] k thanks [14:22] This problem bothers me for quite a long time. [14:22] How could I solve it? [14:22] hey all, how do you turn off the sound at the log-in screen? [14:22] Hey, I have an interesting problem Ubuntu randomly restarts, I'll be working and suddenly boom I'll be back at POST. It does not appear to be hardware related, Windows seem to work fine, the 8.04 Live CD seems to work fine, however the 8.10 Live CD dev exibits the same bevaour, so its something between 8.04 release and now that has started doing it. Any ideas where to start looking? [14:23] arvind_khadri, that's been reported by two people already (at least). might be a bug. [14:23] Frijolie: system -> admin -> logon screen [14:24] Frijolie: er, login window [14:24] hi, i just installed 2.6.24-21...the sound is not working.. [14:24] Frijolie: then, accessibility [14:24] for me the wireless is not working :\ [14:24] arvind_k: arvind_khadri, that's been reported by two people already (at least). might be a bug. [14:24] ConstantineXVI: thanks, I don't know why I wasn't able to find that myself. [14:25] Frijolie: because it's in a sorta weird place [14:25] My headphone and the speaker somethings making sound at the same time. [14:25] slt [14:25] Akhanu`, oh really ?? thanks for telling ... i thought it was only me :) [14:25] ConstantineXVI: I was looking under System > Preferences > Sound where everything else is [14:25] If i take a complete image of a ubuntu machine (say with norton ghost), would it be possible to deploy it on any type of machine? [14:25] slt [14:25] arvind_k: LjL^ said that. [14:25] what's the difference between wubi and normal install, performance-wise? [14:26] benedikt_, yes, you would only need to twak some drivers after install, like the video driver config [14:26] xianwen: r-click volume icon, open volume control, switches [14:26] pandarus est un gros con [14:26] joaopinto: doesnt X11 use some sort of autoconfiguration in hardy? [14:26] benedikt_--> i doubt it, not on any machine [14:26] Fzang: I believe wubi is just to install a dual-boot Windoze/Ubuntu [14:26] Oirc: [14:26] xianwen: there should be a "headphone jack sense" or something like that [14:26] fils de pute [14:27] !rf [14:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about rf [14:27] !fr [14:27] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [14:27] but is it better or worse than a basic partitioned install? [14:27] hi, does hardy have its own wireless drivers? not the ndiswrapper [14:27] Fzang: it just automates everything and makes it easier to uninstall after you're done with it in the Control Manager [14:27] benedikt_, it does, but it will not install the restricted drivers for you ;) [14:27] : thanks for replying [14:27] Fzang--> native install is much better [14:27] !wubi [14:27] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [14:28] : I already checked that [14:28] joaopinto: aah. im going to try it anyways... [14:28] !Oric [14:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about oric [14:28] !botabuse [14:28] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [14:28] !Oric [14:28] shit, did I just install ubuntu? Umm... ubuntu won't install itself before asking me about partitions and stuff, will it? [14:28] stop [14:28] ah, it just started the live CD [14:28] benedikt_, if you are going to do a massive deploygment there is a tool for that, which works like ghost broadcast [14:28] my bad, can't read [14:29] Fzang: I'm not sure to be honest, I've never used it. I haven't ran Windoze for over 2 years [14:29] : But this situation still occurs if I mute it and then turn on the sound [14:29] good morning, i have a ubuntu hardy instllin a lab without internet access. I have a full repository from mid august available within the lab, however no intenet is available [14:29] joaopinto: what tool is that? [14:29] LjL^: gnome-power-manager checks power_management.can_suspend_to_ram in HAL to, so now you have to figure out hal works [14:29] benedikt_, let me try to remember, it's an open source project [14:29] i need to update to the 2.6.26-2 kernel, without interent [14:29] Ok, backed them up and deleted them. The .gnome one did not exist though... only .gnome2 and .gnome private [14:29] I am going to try and go back into gnome [14:29] would anyone hbe able to point me in the right direction for how to do that [14:29] jrib: well, i'm seeing there's a few "hal-get-property", "hal-find-by-property", etc, commands, but i can get no clue how they actually work [14:29] First time IRC user - Just testing if this is working [14:30] joaopinto: sure.. ive been looking for a tool to do that but not found anything [14:30] : If I remove the headphone and plug it back again, then the speaker will mute. [14:30] Ynot_82: it is, but please use #test in the future for testing [14:30] "it works" Ynot_82 [14:30] "#test in the future for testing" - oops, sorry [14:30] : I guess this might be a bug? [14:30] LjL^: some troubleshooting here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/274080 have to run now, gl [14:31] bye jrib [14:31] how can i check the read/wright of a USB flash disk ? [14:31] How to I tell nfs to use tcp rather than udp? [14:31] hey! I'd like to know if there's a problem with hardy regarding permissions in nautilus. I can 'ls' files from a terminal fine, but can't see tham in nutilus. Does anyone here know why? [14:31] benedikt_, Clonezilla [14:31] joaopinto: thanks [14:31] amorphous: try hitting "reload" [14:32] amorphous, that would be normal with files that begin with ".", though not with other files [14:32] Dreamglider: you can use hdparm -tT /dev/usbdevice [14:32] ok... [14:32] Hmmm.... === batman is now known as Guest28245 [14:32] Hello. [14:33] jrib, LjL Ahh... strange - i can see them now :/ --- could it be that there is sometimes a delay? [14:33] Is there anything to report the temperature of my computer on the bar on top... I think I am getting some overheating problems. [14:33] angusthefuzz, how do i list all the disks on the system i cant remember the command [14:34] arf my god [14:34] Hi, i've downloaded the xubuntu 8.04 livecd i386 disk, but it doesn't boot on my system, i'm using an old version of xubuntu. The booting selection splash screen appears as usual, but it does nothing when i press enter === rufneck is now known as Chenier [14:34] Dreamglider: fdisk -l [14:34] hmm, i know that i can set any window to be visible on every space [14:34] angusthefuzz, thanks [14:34] Hi everybody! I'm trying to install the flashplayer plugin v.10 using the .deb package directly downloadable from Adobe website... the package installs correctly but firefox refuses to see the installed plugin. I checked in the /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.0/plugins directory and the libflashplayer.so file is there... so what should I do? [14:34] Dreamglider: or blkid [14:34] /server -m irc.undernet.org [14:34] however, is there a way to STORE that configuration? [14:34] frick [14:34] Solenoide, did u try the cd on other computer? [14:34] jrib, LjL I tried Refresh a few times, but no joy. I was trying ti use a ilnk though (soft to dir).. They appeared after I went to the target dir, then were avail via the link. That make sense? [14:35] no, and i can't at the moment. The one i'm using only has 256 mbytes of ram or something like that === Guest28245 is now known as bat69 [14:35] but the livecd from the old versions worked fine [14:35] lucax [14:36] Solenoide, it could be the cd-r if u have another cd-r burn the .iso file at slower speed 2-4x and try again [14:36] i already burned it at 8x, the slowest speed my drive can handle [14:36] but i will try on another [14:37] Solenoide, try that, or if u can try replacing the cdrom drive, that could be the other reason [14:38] jrib: i've "fixed" it (i.e. made it show the buttons, both in GNOME and in KPowerSave, don't know whether they actually work) with: sudo hal-set-property --udi "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer" --key power_management.can_suspend --bool true [14:38] when I type ls in a directory I see the file in green with a star after, what is the star for? [14:38] how can i install a set of deb from a folder [14:38] junaid, sudo dpkg -i *.deb [14:38] junaid, first, think very carefully whether you really want to. if they aren't .debs for your version of Ubuntu, you might have trouble with them, especially if some of them are libraries [14:38] Anybody help me configure nfs to use tcp and not udp? [14:39] kaptengu: that's an executable file. [14:39] junaid: that said, yes, what lucax said. [14:39] junaid, being in the folder in terminal of course [14:39] am I the only one having problems with the proprietary flash plugin (v.10) from Adobe? [14:39] ok, ty Akhanu` [14:39] how do I access NDIS in ubuntu? It doesn't detect my wifi device at all [14:39] junaid, cd /folder && sudo dpkg -i *.deb [14:39] kaptengu: no problem [14:40] hai [14:40] hai [14:40] Fzang: instead of Ndiswrapper try get a newer version of madwifi [14:40] `help @ lucax [14:41] angusthefuzz, hdparm -tT /dev/sdd1 shows me the read time, how can i check the wright timing ? [14:41] jrib: yet it doesn't work, it just locks the screen. kpowersave complains with "suspend failed, unknown error 1" [14:41] `g ii [14:41] Oric, ?? hehe can i help you? [14:42] Dreamglider: i am not sure...let me find out for you [14:42] how do i install ubuntu to a usb key so i can access parts of it from windows? i tried ext2 and fat32 but xp never found the fat32 partition [14:42] Oric, stop being random. seriously. [14:42] lucax: what's "`g" mean [14:42] angusthefuzz, thanks [14:42] i'm learning using irc,i'm really sorry [14:43] Oric: then use #test or something [14:43] Oric, i have no idea... where did u read that? [14:43] My friend is installing Ubuntu which freezes during booting on splashscreen. Can you tell me how to turn off splash screen so I can help him? [14:43] alright, I have madwifi-0.9.4.tar.bz2, how do I install it? Never used ubuntu [14:43] hi, someone said they got their wireless card to work by uninstalliig ndiswrapper and using the wirless drivers hardy herron installs. What wireless driver is installed by default? [14:43] lucax: ok,thank you for your advice [14:43] Venin, u want to install ubuntu on a pendrive? [14:44] SpinachHead: that broadly depends on the wireless hardware. For me it was the Atheros drivers. [14:44] Dreamglider: you will need to get a program called bonnie++, as far as I know hdparm only tests read speed [14:44] how can i check? [14:44] angusthefuzz, ok thanks [14:44] SpinachHead: lspci | grep reless [14:45] Dreamglider: here is the link for the program: http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ it should also be synaptic [14:45] Venin, ive try to do it editing the pendrive partitions ext3 4gb for ubuntu then the rest of the pen fat32 but windows never saw the partition [14:45] i get nothing. DId ndiswrapper replace it? [14:45] angusthefuzz, i found it in synaptic [14:45] oh cmon, surely someone must know how to install a driver [14:46] SpinachHead: I don't think so. Then just try "lspci" and search the output for anything wireless. [14:46] Venin, however ubuntu did... i dont really know if placing the fat32 partition on the first sector of the pen and formating it from ubuntu if windows will see that partition... [14:46] lucax: yeah.. [14:46] !madwifi | [14:46] : Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [14:46] can my t5800 cpu install virtualbox? [14:46] yupp spinachHead you can find a list of wireless card that can run on linux, i have a d-link dwl and it runs perfect. I didnt need to install the ndiswrapper [14:46] I themed gnome, but the sudo apps don't follow the new theme [14:46] how can i enforce it? [14:46] !madwifi | fzang [14:46] fzangplease see above [14:47] lucax: i tried making fat32 the first partition.. but windows remembered that the ext2 partition had the drive letter.. and i think there can be only one [14:47] Venin, however... i got tired of trying and didnt do it any more... but, what i would do is, since ubuntu detects everything... use the first sector of the pen for windows fat32 partition and the rest of it for ubuntu [14:47] this wusb11 version 2.6 seems to be a real problem. But soeone said they got it to work by uninstalling ndiswrapper and then entering the ip address of google into firefox [14:47] Fzang: i don't believe you need that .tar.gz. i believe madwifi is present in the default restricted kernel modules, and you can install the "madwifi-tools" to set it up possibly. [14:47] hi.how can i change the way that fdisk displays space (from blocks to mb)? [14:48] Venin, try formating the pens fat32 partition from gparted... [14:48] i just dont know what they mean by using the default hardy herron wireless driver [14:48] lucax: i did.. === HardyOne is now known as IdleOne [14:48] SpinachHead: Haven't heared of wusb11. What's that ? [14:48] lucax: first i had ext2 and then fat32.. then windows found ext2 and put f: on it.. [14:48] linksys. At this point I may buy a new card from the wiki [14:48] Venin, are u sure? u might just create the partition... after creating it, right click on it and say format [14:49] lucax: then i moved fat32 in front of ext2.. but windows remembered it had f: on ext2.. so i still couldnt see fat32 [14:49] lucax: i formatted it :) [14:49] hi.how can i change the way that fdisk displays space (from blocks to mb)? [14:49] i was trying to add an extra 2 workspaces to ubuntu 8.4.. i've tried with the ubuntu workspace switcher.. but it doesn't add any lol [14:49] lucax: i know what unallocated means :) [14:49] Venin, as far as i know, windows does not read ext2 nor ext3... windows will give you an error message saying that the pendrive doesnt have format... [14:50] how to uncompress a *.zip file in a directory [14:50] lucax: yeah.. it does give that error.. but it shows up in my computer with f: [14:50] lucax: the fat32 doesnt show up at all [14:50] hi.how can i change the way that fdisk displays space (from blocks to mb)? [14:51] Venin, i think that f drive is the fat partition... whats the size of f drive? [14:51] f is NOT the fat partition.. size was 500 mb like i set it to [14:51] SpinachHead: is that an usb wireless adapter ? What version? v4 ? [14:51] i can open disk manager and it clearly say f: on ext2 [14:52] most overrated linux community ever [14:52] Venin, windows vista? [14:52] lucax: xp === batman is now known as Guest37243 [14:53] Venin, quite rare, im checking on google about ext and fat on the same pen ill let u know if i find anything [14:53] ham_ : You should be able to change to the directory and then use tat or gunzip to decompress [14:54] lucax: lots of hits on it :p [14:54] ы [14:54] Hi all! [14:54] Venin, thats something i wanted to do, i got tired and let the whole pen on ext3 format [14:55] lucax: im considering making whole pen fat32 [14:55] hehe [14:55] how to install open office 3 in ubuntu [14:55] Pupeno, lmsensors [14:55] Venin, i was gonna say that... if u can install ubuntu on fat32.... === Guest37243 is now known as bat69 [14:56] Pupeno, there is an applet that will use data from that package [14:57] You should be able to do multiple file systems on one pen drive. Use fdisk /dev/sdx to partition out the usb pen drive as you would a harddrive, the apply the file system of choice to each partition === batman is now known as Guest63773 [14:57] where do I enter server name for this XChat?

[14:58] yes) [14:58] Venin, i read on a forum that ubuntu can be installed on a fat32, that way you are going to be able to see the pendrive on windows... === |Jelly|Ghost is now known as |Jelly| [14:58] zer0o: open a terminal and put:ifconfig [14:58] rl_, give the server entry a name, then edit it...in the list above edit the entries there [14:59] thanks [14:59] zer0o, your machines ip or the ip of your router as seen from outside? === IdleOne is now known as JauntyOne [14:59] Can someone help me with ATI Drivers + Hardy Heron???

[15:01] when I type the name in the network list and enter it disaapears [15:01] brule, you are most likley using compiz then, which means you need to edit this in the compizconfig-settings-configurator [15:01] brule: right click on the work spaces, click preferences, and a window should come up allowing you to change the number of workspaces [15:02] lucax: give some space to ext2 [15:02] !info ccsm | brule [15:02] brule: Package ccsm does not exist in hardy [15:02] ...

[15:24] i like deluge [15:24] or azureus is also [15:24] w0ls0n thats ADO isn't it? [15:24] webas: monkey's audio is proprietary, so the original decoder can't be included, and it's difficult to reverse engineer one [15:24] Im tryiong to install DB2 runtime client using crossover but it wants to install MDAC [15:25] webas: you should use something else - like FLAC - if at all possible [15:25] 8.04 is already installed. .nothing changes on it .. so i need to save boot time [15:25] w0ls0n: I think you'll need to install the windows version of that [15:25] i will try to convert it somehow..no prob :) [15:25] <_Zeus_> raheem: umm, I really don't get what you're saying. What do you mean by "Looking for new hardware" [15:25] <_Zeus_> where do you see that? [15:25] oh the windows version of MDAC? Didn't think of that LOL [15:25] w0ls0n: what is that for [15:25] <_Zeus_> some audio format, i think [15:25] our accounting software. I'm trying to make my desktop linux [15:25] _Zeus_: while booting it just stops for long time saying detecting hardware .. [15:26] <_Zeus_> raheem: that's not looking for new hardware, it's activating what's in the computer, more than likely [15:26] <_Zeus_> anyone else? [15:26] <_Zeus_> i've never seen something like that [15:26] <_Zeus_> raheem: does this happen every time you boot? [15:26] can i use thunderbird on ubuntu to import microsoft outlook .ics files (meeting invites?) [15:26] _Zeus_: yes [15:26] <_Zeus_> mpalatnik: I think you need to use thunderbird in windows to import it [15:27] _Zeus_, what is your typical boot time from say poweron to login prompt? [15:27] <_Zeus_> mpalatnik: i take that back :P [15:27] <_Zeus_> stupid [15:27] <_Zeus_> scabbymadman: i dunno, 30s? [15:27] What mailserver should I use, and what options should I configure to have a secure SMTP server for multiple (virtual) users on many domains? [15:27] <_Zeus_> i use autologin [15:27] <_Zeus_> so, 30s to a desktop [15:27] _Zeus_: so.. do you, or don't you? [15:27] w0ls0n: http://www.aaxnet.com/design/linuxacct.html is a site that lists various accounting software packages for linux [15:27] no [15:27] <_Zeus_> mpalatnik: I think you can import them. [15:27] and _Zeus_ you want it to boot faster if I understand proper? [15:27] I don't want to change accounting software [15:27] <_Zeus_> scabbymadman: yes? [15:27] _Zeus_: mine takes 75-80 seconds [15:27] _Zeus_: not apparently out of the box [15:28] heya folks [15:28] i am trying to subscribe to a usenet site "news://freetext.usenetserver.com/" but firefox gives a dialogue box saying choose an application. I want to set "Pan" as my default application for opening or subscribing to newsgroups. How to I do that. how to find the exe file in kbuntu [15:28] you could always do a virtualbox install of windows. [15:28] <_Zeus_> raheem: well, I don't know how to stop that. Never heard of it [15:28] are there any "official" 32 bit firefox packages to replace 64-bit firefox on my machine? [15:28] or instructions? [15:28] Does anyone have a link to the forum thread to download Intrepid Ibex? [15:28] i don't want 64-bit firefox anymore [15:28] <_Zeus_> srbaker: google it [15:28] LjL, hey i got the sound working on 2.6.24-21 ... i had forgotten to install linux-ubuntu-* [15:28] <_Zeus_> ubuntu forums [15:28] srbaker: why do you want 32bit firefox [15:28] ikonia: flash [15:28] srbaker: whats teh end goal [15:28] manish, you can open a terminal window and say which pan [15:28] Zeus: Azureus is big. Me gonna use Deluge [15:28] <_Zeus_> r0ach: w/e [15:28] <_Zeus_> :P [15:28] manish, it will say the location of the pacakge [15:28] srbaker: well if you install the flashplugin-nonfree package it will set it all up for you in 64bit firefox [15:29] hrm [15:29] ikonia: okay, thanks [15:29] <_Zeus_> srbaker: you will need to manually install flash [15:29] HP 6720s Laptop, Intel Core 2 Duo .. 3 GB RAM .. New Broadcom wireless driver (latest rlssd by broadcom) .. [15:29] I have a dvdrw drive on this laptop, but I don't see any devices in /dev that put me in mind of a dvd or cd-rom, or rw drive? [15:29] _Zeus_: Thx for everything. Got it downloaded. Gonna check it out ASAP [15:29] howdy [15:29] manish, there are no exe's in Ubuntu [15:29] <_Zeus_> r0ach: cool, gl [15:29] is there a way to use full resolution on the ttys? [15:29] Anyone know what might be wrong? [15:29] _Zeus_: no he won't the flashplugin-nonfree meta package should set it all up in 64bit for him [15:29] <_Zeus_> Azhi_Dahaka: I don't htink so [15:29] <_Zeus_> ikonia: for x86 he will [15:29] <_Zeus_> that's what i mean [15:29] <_Zeus_> *t [15:29] _Zeus_: i am sure my laptop shouldn't take that much time .. looking for a way to tweak it [15:30] I see [15:30] <_Zeus_> raheem: how are your specs? [15:30] HP 6720s Laptop, Intel Core 2 Duo .. 3 GB RAM .. [15:30] <_Zeus_> I have a laptop, C2D, 2GB ram, takes about 1m20s [15:31] _Zeus_: i think we are on the same boat then [15:31] I am also trying to convert mp3 to 3g2 format. any apps that can do this? [15:31] <_Zeus_> raheem: I think that's normal [15:31] _Zeus_: hmm.. my slax on the flash drive takes 35 sec [15:31] while booting from that flash [15:31] <_Zeus_> that's solid state [15:32] <_Zeus_> not that much slower [15:32] <_Zeus_> slackware? [15:32] Slax is based on slackware ; yes [15:32] <_Zeus_> anyway, I guess you could inspect dmesg [15:32] dmesg.. nothing much except that broadcom wireless thing [15:32] Question: On Windows I found a "command prompt here" tool to go from a folder window to the terminal. Can I do something similar in Ubuntu? [15:32] <_Zeus_> raheem: have you set the option 'nosplash'? [15:32] yes . .nosplash [15:32] Hey, I have an interesting problem Ubuntu randomly restarts, I'll be working and suddenly boom I'll be back at POST. It does not appear to be hardware related, Windows seem to work fine, the 8.04 Live CD seems to work fine, however the 8.10 Live CD dev exibits the same bevaour, so its something between 8.04 release and now that has started doing it, dmesg, kern.log and anything else I can think off seem clean of errors. Any ideas where else to start looking? [15:32] unr3a1, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=274153 [15:33] <_Zeus_> raheem: check out dmesh [15:33] <_Zeus_> *dmesg [15:33] k. will do that ;) [15:33] qwertie: Yes, gnome-open-terminal/open-terminal, located in synaptic [15:33] unr3a1, ffmpeg tutorial link incoming soon [15:33] rage because windows works fine, doesn't mean its ok, may be worth running memcheck from the ubuntu licvecd for a good few hours, or using the "stresstest" livecd and see if the machine hangs [15:33] ikonia: already done [15:33] Nothing _/ [15:33] rage: what was teh results [15:33] the [15:34] memtest never crashed [15:34] Anyone around who knows about update-grub and UUIDs? I want to have root=/dev/sda6 on kernel command lines, because I use the machine as an image to install a lot of other machines with. So the UUID will be wrong for those other machines, but /dev/sda6 will be right. update-grub changes the # kopt=root=/dev/sda6 back to # kopt=root=UUID=378925273985-89237589235-235 line each time I run it [15:34] i did "which pan" in terminal and found the path to the program but the server did not list itself as a subscription how do i suscribe to the newsgroup [15:34] rage: did this just happen? [15:34] unr3a1, messy way is to import it to youtube and then redownload it once its up there [15:34] Nope, it happened a few weeks ago [15:34] I've been trying to isolate it [15:34] rage: how do I reach synaptic? [15:34] rage: ok [15:34] <_Zeus_> rage: what are you usually doing? [15:34] <_Zeus_> anything special? [15:35] _Zeus_: Indeed, I'm usually playing games or stressing the system some how, lots of tabs in firefox, or flash ect [15:35] rage: stresstest livecd is a good way to walk through hardware as you can stress disk/ram/cpu on their on or combinations together === Slade is now known as Guest29354 [15:35] guys, IN New Ubuntu version will it be Circle Dock ?! [15:35] perpetualrabbit, there is a command called uuidgen and uuid maybe these two will help you [15:35] <_Zeus_> rage: ah-hah. Do you ever do things like that in windows? [15:35] rage: streetest cd will help you out a lot, been a good tool for that very reason [15:35] <_Zeus_> Guest29354: don't think so [15:35] _Zeus_: Yes [15:35] ok [15:35] and 8.04 doesnt do it [15:35] <_Zeus_> rage: ic. [15:36] however 8.04 fully upgraded does [15:36] and 8.10 does [15:36] <_Zeus_> rage: hmmm..... could it be the kernel? [15:36] rage: ic, sudo synaptic [15:36] <_Zeus_> have you booted to a later kernel after upgrading? [15:36] ikonia: thanks a bunch; that didn't work on my last 64-bit machine, didn't think to try i there. [15:36] thanks! [15:36] _Zeus_: Possibily, if so its the default in 8.10 as well [15:36] srbaker: no problem [15:36] As I said, it happens off the live cd [15:37] rage: try the stress test cd [15:37] rage: walk through some tests [15:37] Okay, [15:37] qwertie, no gksudo synaptic [15:37] rage: well worth it [15:37] nam === stormy is now known as stormingame [15:37] hi all, I get weird errors while trying to compile a custom kernel for ubuntu 8.04 server. I've downloaded the sources using "apt-get source ..." and can use the config utility "make menuconfig" but make-kpkg fails miserably with strange errors. Somethings wrong with my shells or toolchain. Can somebody help? [15:37] _Zeus_: Your kernel idea is a good one, I've still got an older kernel on my system, I'll try booting from that one [15:38] airtonix: thanks, but I don't want to have to run client side scripts after installing or updating them. That would be required if I have to correct /boot/grub/menu.lst on each client after an update of the image. [15:38] ikonia: I'll try stresstest as well, thanks [15:38] datenimperator, have you followed the guides on the ubuntuforums for compiling your own kernel? [15:38] I'll be back sometime tomorrow with the results [15:38] airtonix: I've used an howto from HowToForge [15:39] datenimperator, there is guides on the ubuntuforums....try find those and see how the two guides differ... [15:39] airtonix: thanks, I'll try [15:39] <_Zeus_> rage: I'd bet $ on that [15:39] datenimperator, i dare say there will be fundamental differences that howtoforge misses(me thinks they just assume thigns when making those guides) [15:39] _Zeus_: Me too, I cant beleive I didnt think about it, [15:40] But, thats why I come here, you guys unclay my mind [15:40] hello, think anyone can help me with a media problem?

Run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a', then it should work [16:03] xomp, without a swap file or partition, you wont be able to suspend to disk [16:04] xomp: so it depends on your use [16:04] soundray: i can't get that right now, i'm running windows atm so i can connect [16:04] airtonix, I never suspend to disk :) is that it's only purpose? [16:04] soundray it says That i Need Superuser Powers how do i get them [16:04] I see, airtonix [16:04] xomp, no...it serves same purpose as virtual memory does in windows [16:04] xomp, it's also used for paging cached ram that isnt used 'recently' [16:04] airtonix, ahh ok :) good, this PC stays on 24/7 heh, I wasn't sure if it was imperative to use a swap or not [16:05] lostonthehill: can you find out from Windows device manager what chipset it uses, or at least the name of the driver (something.INF)? [16:05] I need help broadcom wlan I got the windows driver installed using ndiswrapper and comp sees the wireless network and tries to connect but can't connect [16:05] Greggaz: you do what I said [16:05] ok [16:05] Greggaz: sudo dpkg --configure -a [16:05] So, I updated the kernel yesterday, only to find when I restart it won't load. So I've tried to reinstall the kernel (apt-get install --reinstall kernel-image) as well as refresh grub and it's menu.lst file but no luck, is there a way to just remove the previous linux kernels and start afresh, or would that involve reinstalling ubuntu entirely? [16:05] ok 2 moments [16:05] xomp, a swap drive would make alot of sense on a server that runs a webserver and a database server [16:05] ok again i tried installing ubuntu on my friend's laptop and at 94% it gives me a grub load error or something so basically it is not installing ubuntu's bootloader what do i do on which drive do i install it on from the advance option before installation === sk_ is now known as _sk [16:05] hi all! Im searching for a method to install ubuntu on a pendrive, with persistent installation, i mean, I want to boot it on any system, install some apps, and that apps remains in the next reboot any idea¿? [16:05] xomp, for things like cached sql queries... [16:06] sap: does the computer have more than one hard disk drive? [16:06] airtonix, well I use ubuntu primarily for LAMP but it's a testing platform really as I'm learning PHP/MySQL and it's not in a production environment :) [16:06] Soundray i got another error :/var/lib/dpkg/info/webmin.postinst: 34: cannot create /tmp/.webmin/webmin-setup.out: Directory nonexistent === stickyboy is now known as stickboy [16:06] soundray: no its only one but with multiple partitions [16:06] Soundray i got another error :/var/lib/dpkg/info/webmin.postinst: 34: cannot create /tmp/.webmin/webmin-setup.out: Directory nonexistent [16:06] xomp, :) your database server will be more efficient witha swap partition on a hella fast drive [16:06] Greggaz: okay, that seems to be a bug. As a workaround, try 'sudo mkdir /tmp/.webmin', then run the dpkg command again [16:07] Greggaz: and don't repeat [16:07] xomp, but for know as a testing environ ... you probably wont see any benefit from it [16:07] sap: I think you should try to install grub manually. Use the instructions for when Windows has overwritten grub: [16:07] !grub > sap [16:07] sap, please see my private message [16:07] airtonix, ahh ok, thanks! [16:07] Soundray : mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/.webmin': File exists [16:08] hello:) [16:08] soundray: would "Gtm51lrp.sys" be it? that's the driver it's reporting at least [16:08] soundray : thanks [16:08] I'm seriously really sick of youtube videos stopping after 2 seconds. Even when I launch firefox with "aoss firefox" it still won't work if I want to play music. [16:08] Any advice please? [16:08] Greggaz: do you get anything from 'sudo mkdir /tmp/.webmin/webmin-setup.out'? [16:08] No soundray [16:09] !list [16:09] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [16:09] I don't want to use pulseaudio. Some of my apps don't work with it, so I'd like to use alsa (why on earth ubuntu transitioned to pulse is beyond me) [16:09] Greggaz: good. Try the dpkg command again [16:09] Stormx2: write a complaining letting to adobe if your not happy with it (seriously) the more hassle/press/support requests they got on it [16:09] soundray which Command [16:09] I need help broadcom wlan I got the windows driver installed using ndiswrapper and comp sees the wireless network and tries to connect but can't connect [16:09] ikonia: But surely this is fixable without that? I mean, shouldn't there be a way to make it output to alsa? :/ [16:09] Some workaround or something [16:10] soundray: how do you know it's pulse and not an issue with the flash plugin ? [16:10] soundray: apologies, not you [16:10] Stormx2: see above [16:10] sds [16:10] Soundray Still Nothing === adrian_ is now known as GeOcs [16:10] macbook air with 8.10, the wireless is not working. how can i fix it? [16:11] ikonia: Pardon? Is there some messaqe I've missed? :/ [16:11] lostonthehill: is that a card for mobile networks or WLAN? [16:11] lirit: #ubuntu+1 for 8.10 support [16:11] hmm... I changed the appearance of Gnome BUT those changes aren't applied to sudo windows... how can I enforce that? [16:11] Stormx2 is the problem you you are playign flash videos ? [16:11] Greggaz: by nothing, do you mean "same error" or no output? [16:11] Stormx2: maybe I have miss-read the question [16:11] Hello. [16:11] how can I count the total # of files in a dir and its subdirs? [16:11] Soundray: No output , Something like this : me@linux:~$ sudo mkdir /tmp/.webmin/webmin-setup.out [16:11] me@linux:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a [16:11] me@linux:~$ [16:11] from command line [16:11] ikonia: Flash videos, yeah. E.g. youtube [16:12] Greggaz: that means it has worked. Do not paste here, that's why I told you to use the pastebin [16:12] Stormx2: do you have problems playing any nonflash audio/video ? [16:12] Soundray: Now what do i do [16:12] I gotta go folks! See ya! [16:12] ikonia: I don't think so, lemme see [16:12] Hello [16:12] Greggaz: your problem is fixed. You can continue whatever it was that you were doing. [16:12] Thanks Soundray :) [16:13] can the ubuntu live cd use swap from a usb external hdd? [16:13] Stormx2: hence why I'm suggestign it's more likley to be a flashplugin (closed source - we don't know) issue with audio, rather than a pulse (working with everything else) issue [16:13] Someone please helpme:( [16:13] ikonia: Nah. I just opened an MP3 in firefox and it worked a treat [16:13] Azhi_Dahaka; try running the windows with gksudo .. see if that makes a difference. [16:13] no difference [16:13] lostonthehill: hello? [16:13] Stormx2: that doesn't mean I'm right - just offering a blunt suggestions [16:13] same default widgets [16:13] ikonia, oh I'm quite aware it's a flash problem. I've already written to them, though [16:13] but I figured there might be a solution to the problem [16:14] when i said sudo windows, i was referring to windows that require sudo privileges [16:14] Stormx2: now as I recall there is a library set for multiple devices accessing flash audio (libflash) or soemthing like that, you may want to try using that [16:14] sorry if I wasn't clear enough [16:14] Stormx2: the only reason I say that is I've seen firefox+youtuve "lock" the sounds device for a while even after the sesssion is gone [16:15] any chance somebody could help a little with my kernel compile problem? Error is on http://paste.ubuntu.com/58386/ [16:15] datenimperator: kernel compilation is not support [16:15] supported [16:15] soundray: It lists the driver as "Gtm51lrp.sys", or did i lose a response in the noise? [16:15] ikonia: libflashsupport? Yeah. But it only works for frickin' pulse audio [16:15] datenimperator error is pretty clean though, it's missing the make file [16:15] Stormx2 are you not using pulse ? [16:15] lostonthehill: is that a card for mobile networks or WLAN? [16:16] soundray: mobile networks [16:16] afaik [16:16] ikonia: Sorry? What's the "master kernel thread" on ubuntuforums.org about? Followed that guide to the letter, still it doesn't work [16:16] lostonthehill: which version of Ubuntu do you have? [16:16] datenimperator I don't know, this is irc not ubuntuforums [16:17] Anybody intelligible regarding installing ubuntu server edition + fluxbox? [16:17] rich5: please just ask the question [16:17] soundray: 8.04 [16:17] ikonia: No, I'm not. I hate pulse, nothing works with it. [16:17] Hey Now i am Getting a Compile Error [16:17] Stormx2: ahhh, I thought you where, sorry [16:17] datenimperator: upgrade to intrepid, you'll get 2.6.27. [16:18] Greggaz: pastebin [16:18] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58387/ [16:19] I am so bored [16:19] soundray: It's not exactly that I need 2.6.27 but I'd like to configure some netfilter options that are not in the standard kernel [16:19] l3d: find a chat channel then [16:19] datenimperator: the netfilter options are all modular and int he kernel, which ones are missing [16:19] lostonthehill: 8.10, which comes out in a fortnight, will have expanded support for HSDPA (mobile/cellular) network cards. If it was my system, I'd wait and upgrade (or even upgrade to the current beta) [16:19] so, I don't understand a connection problem between a windows server and an ubuntu server.

[16:27] limitedwisdom: i would think that is the log you want to check, yes [16:27] quit [16:27] I got it when i bought the computer [16:27] Would this have something to do with me changing the root password because I needed to provide the root password on boot to run fsck?

[16:44] ikonia: and whats the risk? [16:44] any software similar to winrar to create .rar archives? [16:44] Uplink: if 60 meg is "good" to recover, you need to repartition your hard disk [16:44] I did install unfs after removing nfs-kernel-server [16:44] Uplink: that you'll remove your current kernel [16:44] JuJuBee: so nfs isn't installed any more [16:44] ikonia: lol... i wouldnt wanna do that [16:45] sorry my buffer los that, im working need to re-ask (sorry) [16:45] JuJuBee: you need to isntall the nfs standalone kernel package [16:45] Im searching for a method to install ubuntu on a pendrive, with persistent installation, i mean, I want to boot it on any system, install some apps, and that apps remains in the next reboot any idea¿?

[16:47] Uplink: because you have no disk space left and 60 meg is not going to last long so your layout is wrong [16:47] Can someone help me with my resolution problem?

[16:52] limitedwisdom: from the information you've given me anyway [16:52] JuJuBee: you'll still need the nfs services running for userspace, surly [16:52] unfortunately, it's setup the same as the other virtual win boxes that work fine.

[18:25] Scunizi: then how should I reboot? [18:25] RandyboY: you don't want to do that. You then become root on your account and open for exploits.

I've never had any issues with that. Good that it got solved tho :) [18:53] danbh_intrepid: right, and i wanna know how [18:53] danbh_intrepid, ok thanks [18:53] kuthux: how what?

[19:27] @LjL .. hey the new kernel's version is 2.6.24-21 and the last one i.e. the third is 2.6.24-19 so should i change the line that says default 0 to default 2 ..to get it work.. [19:27] LjL: I know, but I'm not sure where i can find a list of unsupported winmodems [19:27] shredder12: that depends on the order they're listed in your own menu.lst, but probably yes. === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [19:28] @LjL....yes the first one is 24-21 then second is 24-21 ( recovery mode) and the third one is 24-19.so i am sure that's its it..

[19:40] (even with modeline "1680x1050") [19:40] I3d: You could TRY to check your home directory in File Browser to see if the folder itself is still in there. [19:41] I3d: It is possible the Home Folder on your desktop is just a shortcut. === andrijeski is now known as Bohomil [19:41] Jeruvy: u think it's a drive problem? I think it's a Linux problem. [19:42] if fsck isn't fixing it, I'd look deeper to ensure the drive is ok, does it support SMART?

[20:32] b3lorixx: gksu zenmap [20:32] b3lorixx: replace "sudo" with "gksu" in the command, and it'll ask you graphically for your password [20:32] thanks dubby, and Stormx2 [20:33] emanuel_: Never.

[20:34] wardy go with WINE [20:34] Misfits: When my hardware started screwing up, it's because I was botting into a -386 kernel for no good reason, an update made it the default. My network card and sound card wouldn't work. Booting into -generic fixed it. Maybe it's the same issue. [20:34] jclbrt: welcome back [20:34] Did you look at output of dmesg? [20:34] jrib: nope I just booted into the older kernel and still not there [20:34] ok i have issues with wine like running pureedge a govt pdf style editor [20:34] jclbrt, Could you run "uname -a" (without the quotes) in a terminal, and give me the output? [20:34] vb is a programming language not an emulator [20:35] jclbrt: see what Stromx2 said to me ? [20:35] vb = virtualbox [20:35] dubby that's what I was thinking, but he wants an emulator [20:35] jclbrt: maybe....

[20:35] jclbrt: the updates you installed did it have anything to do with your WiFi specifically ? [20:35] Hm. === cfchris6_ is now known as cfchris6 [20:35] Misfits... i have no clue...

[20:36] Misfits... just selected to install all the updates [20:36] jclbrt: okay... lets see [20:36] jclbrt, could you run over the problem you're having?

[20:37] BetaTest, wine is an "emulation layer". It's not a virtual machine [20:37] ok well so should i go with a virtual machine then?

[20:37] isn't = installed === mouser is now known as mouser__ [20:38] Stormx2: yea.... i installed ubuntu on my macbook pro, at first it didn't see my wireless card.. so I followed the directions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro [20:38] and then it worked [20:38] Stormx2 that's what I figured, but dubby's statement made me think that's what he was referrign to [20:38] Stormx2: but then I ran the software updates and now it doesn't worked [20:38] hibernate mode doesn't work ... why? kskrilla [20:38] unitedpotsmokers, nice nick. It means that a custom repository (the WINE repo) hasn't got a valid key for it. It's not an error as such, but it means that if the WINE server is hacked, you won't be any the wiser, and they could push through malicious software. Realistically, that won't happen [20:38] Anyway, if ifconfig eth0 up doesn't work, how else could I get the internet working? [20:38] can I use openoffice 3.0 in ubuntu 8.10?

There should be a line that says: [20:56] XDG_DESKTOP_DIR=SOMEPATHTOFOLDER this is what i did and my home folder wasnt linked to my desktop [20:56] jclbrt: did wireless "just work" when you first installed ubuntu or you had to use something like ndiswrapper? [20:56] and as there being no way to revert back to before i did the updates all i can do is reinstall and then try to figure out which update screwed it up [20:56] jclbrt, that's quite a feat, considering ubuntu has only been around for 4 years!

[21:01] on 8.04 [21:01] i want to transfer my system to another hard drive, what is the best way to do that? [21:01] okay, so this morning i saw that there was a new driver or something for ATI cards - the ubuntu new hardware thingy popped up. i told it to get the driver and whatnot. i go to class, come back, reset my wonderfully working computer, and now can't go beyond 800x600. I am having trouble figuring out how to revert back to how things were... can anyone help me? [21:02] Is there a way, using apt-get, to only install updates from, say, DISTRO-security, AND to preview which packages will be updated before executing it? [21:02] chetnick: you want to clone your HD [21:02] hlfshell, my drivers occasionally boot me into 800x600. Have you tried rebooting / restarting X? [21:02] chetnick: u need a hard drive cloning tool [21:02] quite a few times Stormx2... right now i have uninstalled the driver, but then ubuntu still cant go beyond 800x600 [21:02] awmcclain: disable all the repositories except -security and run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [21:03] hlfshell, you might need to reconfigure X. one moment [21:03] Stormx2, and this is from a system running 1280xsomethingorother with compiz this mornign so i know it works. [21:03] jrib: Won't upgrade update everything willy-nilly? [21:03] at work i use a hardware cloner... but there are software versions out there... dnt know many other than ghost and apple's disk utility [21:03] Need SSH help: where do I put my private key on my remote machine (I'm using cygwin on remote machine)? [21:03] and acronis [21:03] awmcclain: no, it will ask you if you want to proceed [21:03] jrib: Thank you! [21:03] chetnick I would use remastersys to make a complete backup iso burn and install to the said hdd [21:03] I need to have some custom firefox profiles for all my users. it works to edit "/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/defaults/profile" for new profiles... but what can i do to exsisting profiles? is there some way of forcing new settings on those users? [21:03] Shakedown: why do you want your private key on the remote machine? [21:04] ...isn't that how it works? [21:04] hlfshell, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg <-- run this. Hit enter on everything apart from the resolutions bit. On that bit, check any resolutions you want to be able to access. Continue through until the end, then restart X [21:04] Shakedown: nope :/ [21:04] the public key on the server and the private key on the remote? [21:04] wait... how do i know what version of ubuntu i have [21:04] You sure? [21:04] Shakedown: you mean "client" by "remote"? [21:04] alright Stormx2 - im going to try that now. brb after its done [21:04] thanks! :-) [21:05] yes [21:05] !version | jclbrt [21:05] jclbrt: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -rc » in a !shell [21:05] ah... ok i do have 8.04 [21:06] i am gonna upgrade to 8.10.... [21:06] 9.04 [21:06] Shakedown: the private key is yours, you keep it on the client usually as ~/.ssh/id_rsa . On the server you add your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.password.pub (corresponding to your private key on the client) to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server [21:06] and see if that fixes it since the website says the drivers are built in [21:06] brb [21:06] The newest version I have is 13.04, but :) [21:06] Shakedown: though you can just use ssh-copy-id to do all the work for you [21:07] Hello, my sendmail program doesent work, doesen`t send mails :/ anyone can help ? [21:07] Stormx2, - that didn't do anything! [21:07] jrib: I have that on both my desktop (server) and laptop (client). Which do I execute ssh-copy-id on? [21:07] hola [21:07] hlfshell, bleh :/ [21:08] !x | hlfshell, have a look here [21:08] hlfshell, have a look here: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[21:10] ok, so that didn't work. like, at all... im still stuck in 800x600, and even when i use the ati drivers the system has trouble on restart. trying ati drivers one last time.... [21:11] Shakedown: then you don't need to do anything else on the server (that's what ssh-copy-id does). I have no idea how cygwin works [21:11] jrib: just make some file named id_rsa in .ssh? [21:11] Shakedown: it's not "some file". It's your private key [21:12] jrib: but it's just text in a file [21:12] Shakedown: sure, containing your private key [21:12] hi [21:12] register Moschops [21:13] what is the default localhost directory in ubuntu, /var/www or something else?

(~/.ssh/id_rsa) [21:13] Shakedown: yeah, ssh will use that key by default [21:14] anyone here use VMRCplus? [21:14] strumica: /var/www [21:14] jrib: ok, then is there a way to make sure that I've done everything correctly?

You should be able to directly upgrade, but I never have. When you follow the directions, does update-manager not offer to upgrade to 8.04? [21:17] zerko: 6-7 & 7-> 8 [21:17] I have a bunch of math and programming theory papers that all have random numbers as their filenames, and have no way of keeping my place in any given file [21:18] Ashkore, do you see any flash plugins if you browse to "about:plugins" (minus the quotes)?

[21:21] hi again. My scanner problem seems to be solved! [21:21] so i had my video drivers all set up this morning, then i updated them, and now i cant get any drivers to work on my system... im stuck in 800x600. can anyone help? === Dopppp is now known as Doppp [21:21] for some reason, my user doesnt have access to scanner device [21:21] Ashkore, you could try installing adobe's plugin. It usually gets flash sorted out. It's "flashplugin-nonfree" and can be found in synaptic [21:21] works as root though. [21:22] I'm on my PS3 Adobes are x86 only [21:22] Q: I have Asus A7S333 MB with SiS chipset and AMD Athlon XP 1800+, and when I go to shutdown, i doesn't shutdown. It turn off all devices and processes, but doesn't halt or whatever is the word for it. How can I fix that? [21:22] bye [21:22] ah, that'd explain a bit then. I'm not familar with linux on the PS3 [21:23] Guys, I've got some serious trouble with running applications that use sound, if I open amarok, and play a mp3, all is fine... If I open up mplayer or any other thing that uses sound then, amarok crashes, all freezes, and I'm forced to CTRL ALT BACKSPACE, isnt there some type of workaround for that?? Using alsa driver atm... [21:23] Thanks bastid_raZor but which is it or is it either or [21:23] so for now Im trying to get swfdec-mozilla to work but its not working at all [21:23] is there a way to set the font size for a printer, webpages i'm printing are just too large in text [21:24] tyberion: are you trying to run those apps simultaneously? [21:24] mongolai: yeah.. by accident more or less [21:24] mongolai: if I open up some kind of Firefox flash that uses sound... [21:24] tyberion: ok. are you on kubuntu by chance? [21:25] buuump.. [21:25] Ganandorf; go with purge and afterwards it'll tell you if you need to do autoremove to clean up [21:25] ubuntu, fluxbox... [21:25] Ashkore, I'm really stabbing in any random direction here but you might want to look at something called gnash. the thread here is old, so it may have progressed since then: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=635233 [21:25] tyberion: Are you using pulseaudio at all? [21:25] tyberion: does it only happen with amarok? [21:25] Also using apt-get install says i gotz newest version, so it IS installed, either its not working or I don't know how to use it [21:26] hi [21:26] Gnash doesn't start up, its installed but it doesnt do anything when I start it up [21:26] How can I add more widgets for Kubuntu. [21:26] tyberion: could you double check what sound engine is being used by amarok? if you haven't given this info already at least [21:26] might want to try posting on the forums then Ashkore. It seems I'm spent for now. Someone would have corrected me if they knew the right solution [21:27] How can i remove the password input when i login? Guess its called key ring or something. Ive set my machine to atomaticly login and i dont want to have to type a password for the machine to login on my wireless network. This laptop is only on one/my wireless net so if i want to move my laptop ill just turn off autologin... How to fix this? [21:27] hello [21:27] RandyboY: have you tried using interfaces? [21:27] is it possible to use disk space on / to store data? [21:27] RandyboY: go into the keyring manager and set the keyring password to nothing -- i.e. hit return [21:27] i still have free space in / but nothing left in /home [21:28] can i move some data to /data? [21:28] Rev: sure, why not [21:28] mongolai, but then i have to hit return every time? [21:28] sorry [21:28] was afk [21:28] sec [21:28] RandyboY: no, i don't think so [21:28] danbh_intrepid, dont think so. Dunno what you mean [21:28] how do i change ubuntu to not use CD rom to install things but use the web? [21:29] !ask > tyberion [21:29] tyberion, please see my private message [21:29] danbh_intrepid, dunno, maybe that could mess eveything up [21:29] RandyboY: interfaces sets up networking before the login screen even... [21:29] uh..? [21:29] oops !enter > tyberion [21:29] zerko, you can remove the CD from the repos in synaptic [21:29] Rev: well, it could mess things up if you fill up / too [21:29] what file is that? [21:29] danbh_intrepid, ah, i see /etc/networks/interfaces :-) Now iunderstood [21:29] my Add/Remove programs is missing [21:30] which file do I edit?? [21:30] well, Im using pulseaudio in amarok, and yeah its always amarok thats crashing, other stuff just not giving any sound if its in use//// [21:30] bastid_raZor: i got this The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: [21:30] libavahi-qt3-1 libarts1c2a kdelibs4c2a libartsc0 libk3b2 kdebase-bin-kde3 [21:30] liblualib50 libflac++6 kdebase-bin libdbus-qt-1-1c2 libqt3-mt kdelibs-data [21:30] liblua50 libaudio2 [21:30] Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. [21:30] Ganandorf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:30] The following packages will be REMOVED: [21:30] no its not missing [21:30] its in "Other" [21:30] :( [21:30] CyD, [21:30] why is it in other? [21:30] amarok is a kde app, is it not? [21:30] RandyboY: yeah, using interfaces bypasses networkmanager, and I think it sets the connection up during boot, rather than after user login, which is cool, IMHO [21:30] mongolai: yes [21:30] ok, installed joomla, when I put index.php in /var/www/ firefox says restricted access, help? [21:31] CyD, mongolai, Tundrayeti312.. you saw message? sorry forgot to attach your nicknames [21:31] tyberion: Does amarok work if you switch to use alsa instead? ( i.e. do you have the proper packages for pulseaudio and alsa to work together? ) [21:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/58519/ thats what i got bastid_raZor [21:31] strumica: did you set the permissions and ownership? [21:31] tyberion: yep [21:31] Tundrayeti312: uhm, what packages do I need for that, sec ill checkk [21:31] danbh_intrepid, ok thanks [21:31] awesome, I am now on irc on my PS3-Ubuntu [21:32] danbh_intrepid, good tips. Ill try [21:32] danbh_intrepid: how to do that, please [21:32] Tundrayeti312: yep alsa is also working but I guess will crash also, if I try now Im gone :D [21:32] How can do i a copy and tell it to copy everything in the directory except 1 file ? [21:32] apt-get install ssh its saying it cant find it [21:32] jrib: I put the private key in id_rsa and when I connect it tells me WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! Permissions for .ssh/id_rsa are too open [21:32] strumica: sudo chown www-data:www-data -R /var/www thats a start I think [21:32] how do I install openssh on the server? [21:32] hi... just want to know, i login to ubuntu like usual (not root acc), the problem is, everytime i want to do something like want to update, it always ask me to put a password. how to set it will ask for the password for once? [21:33] how can i check what group a user belongs to ? [21:33] zerko: sudo apt-get install openssh [21:33] zerko: it's sshd [21:33] Tyberion: well you could kill pulseaudio by typing pulseaudio -k in bash, then start by pulseaudio -D... start your problem program and see if you get some errors to spit out === Administrator is now known as techsupport [21:33] danbh_intrepid: did that, still not working [21:34] How I change the timezone ? I try tzselect and dpkg-reconfigure tzdata too but I have diferentes results in two machines.. why ? [21:34] techsupport: don't ask a question, then change your nick [21:34] Shakedown: chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa [21:34] Wtf, Tundrayeti312, what did I do just know, it works now......? [21:34] unitedpotsmokers: well, thats not straightforward, nor desirable, since it can be dangerous. The point is that every time you do something that makes big changes to your system, you need to use sudo and enter your password. [21:34] soundray, i didnt know that i was logged in with that nick thats why i changed it [21:34] tyberion: Still using alsa as engine? [21:34] good night [21:34] jrib: thanks [21:34] Im trying to use Gnash but when I dbl click gnash swf viewer nothing happens and nothing starts up [21:35] strumica: pastebin ls -al /var/www/ [21:35] Tundrayeti312: in amarok, yep... [21:35] is there a way to tell why a particular ext3 partition got corrupted? [21:35] are basic applications like gmplayer set to use pulseaudio? [21:35] tyberion: could try xine, make sure it's using alsa. that's the standard at least when it's in kde, doesn't cause problems for me [21:35] DrX: in most cases, no [21:36] CyD: I checked mplayer options, Im using alsa there too [21:36] so alsa is able to playback multiple instances? [21:36] Tundrayeti312: what did pulseaudio -k , -D do? [21:36] DrX: if the partition is not the root partition, you may find relevant messages in /var/log/syslog [21:36] tyberion: That could be the fix then... if you are running pulseaudio w/ alsa packages and all your apps are using alsa, it works well to avoid one app hogging your soundcard hw..... that kills and starts the pulseaudio daemon [21:36] hi all [21:36] i followed the instructions on the following website http://rockmanx.wordpress.com/2008/06/02/make-your-linux-ubuntu-look-like-a-mac-hardy-heron/ things were fine until three days later when i boot the system freezes at the load up screen i was told its a kernel panic how to i resolve this ps I cannot get into that hard drive with ubuntu 8.04 64bit [21:37] can someone point me to the right doc to upgrade from 6.6 to 8.4 please? [21:37] soundray: is there something I can search for versus manually reading through it? [21:37] Tundrayeti312: alright, thanks taht really helped me, but whats the advantage of pulseaudio over alsa?? Since Im going to use 5.1 in few days, will alsa be fine with that?

[21:38] a little question: when you're in the login screen, you can choose the language, set default language ecc.... but, what if you want the language to be automatically set, depending on the user that does login? for example... if I log with andy80 I want English, if I login with pippo I want Italian ecc.... is it possibile to do it? [21:38] oh, it waas there [21:38] !kernel panic [21:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel panic [21:38] Andy80: the login screen makes your last choice for each user the default for that user [21:39] tyberion: absolutely 5.1 will work, there is a config file in pulse ( check their website ) where you have to change default channels from 2 t0 ( in your case ) 6 .... well pulseaudio works as a 'sound server' so that many apps can share the hw.. alsa is more of a sound card driver [21:39] !rtorrent [21:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about rtorrent [21:39] !squid [21:39] squid is a caching proxy for the Web.

I got this Imac g3 Computer thing, loaded with os 9.1. I was like hey cool, a new computer. So i tried to get online and watch some videos, diddnt work the OS was too old to support flash. So i downloaded the PowerPC Live Xubuntu install disk, so happy that i would finally be able to get rid of the crap Mac OS and make it a real computer. Upon boot it died before it got to the kernel. So i asked the almighty [22:13] jin using kde. cant find systerm?pref [22:13] Ganandorf: do you also have PATA devices in your machine? [22:13] llll, try #kubuntu [22:13] soundray: i don't know what are those [22:13] I solved that with the nosplash append, got myself loading the kernel, I was so excited. But when it began to Load X it took a crap on me and the Kernel read "Fatal server error: No screens found." [22:14] k [22:14] iamelite: thats just an xserver error [22:14] jrib: i wanted to know how i get my windows to look like glass? windows aero have glass boarders, i want to know if i can have the entire window look like glass? [22:14] Ganandorf: they are the old style ATA devices that are connected via a broad ribbon cable rather than a narrow red one [22:14] iamelite: be nicer and better if you could describe your problems with a little more detail and manners towards people in the room [22:14] So i appened the xorg.conf with manual entrys through nano wich is annoying enough, and it diddnt work, then i hooked up an external monitor to a port i accidentilly found, then after yet annother manual appent to the monitor refresh rates it FINALLY BOOT UP!!!! [22:14] vassler: maybe with some emerald theme? [22:15] Then i hit install and i was sooo happy that it started and I see "Installing System" and the bar progresses to 83% then stops... [22:15] "bad archive mirror" when it configured APT, Holy hannah, I hate apple so bad. and good hasnt a clue how to fix it. [22:15] iamelite: what has this got to do with apple ? [22:15] google hasent a clue* [22:15] iamawake, take your story to #ubuntu-offtopic plz [22:16] I want to put the login info for my present connected wireless network in /etc/network/interfaces... Where can i get the correct info for how to choose info to put in interfaces? (I ofcourse know my wap-key) Where can i find examples of how to set it up? [22:16] soundray: hmmm well my dvd drives are ide they have a broad ribbon like cable buts its white [22:16] RandyboY: good few results on google [22:16] SO my question is... [22:16] ikonia, think i didnt have the right search phrases, cause i didnt get any [22:17] soundray: and thats it no other cables but power [22:17] 83% the install stops with "bad archive mirror" when configuring apt, is there any way to fix that? [22:17] RandyboY: try ubuntu /etc/network/interfaces wirless [22:17] iamelite: that's while doing what, installing from the desktop CD? [22:17] RandyboY, why don't you use network-manager to remember your password? [22:17] someone ran apt-get upgrade on a server of ours (8.04.1), and upgraded the kernel from 2.6.24-19 to 2.6.24-21. Is there an easy way to roll back this change? [22:17] ikonia, got it :) [22:17] RandyboY: super [22:17] Ganandorf: okay, so you're mixing SATA and PATA devices, which sometimes causes trouble. To verify this, you could disconnect all hard disk drives and try booting the live CD-ROM. If that boots and doesn't panic, you've identified the problem. [22:18] hi! i have ~20 virtual hosts on my 7.04 server. the wrong virtual host is showing up as the default server. how do i force a particular virtual host definition as the default? [22:18] gsiener: the old kernel should still be installed [22:18] gsiener: look at your grub boot options [22:18] LjL, Yes desktop CD [22:18] Aggrav8d: define virtual host [22:18] ikonia: is there a way to define which boots by default? [22:18] LjL: mind you, PPC [22:18] gssiener:when you re-boot the computer then press esc should give a list of kernels, if it wasnt deleted [22:18] soundray: oh [22:18] ikonia - ? [22:19] gsiener: define what you mean by a virtual host [22:19] name-based virtual hosts [22:19] gsiener: sorry, wrong person [22:19] gsiener: yes, the default option in grub's menu.lst [22:19] hi.relatively new to ubuntu and linux. Installed newest Ubuntu on AMD 64 bit and have got sound and graphics up and running. I have tried to follow several of the guides/forum descriptions online on how to install Flash, and thought that I had done it correctly, but when I go to Youtube.com for example it will only show me a gray screen... Does anyone know what I should do to make this work? (it is a brand new computer and I bought it wihout [22:19] and have only installed Ubunutu on it) [22:19] thanks [22:19] soundray: ok so disconnect all my hard drives and boot from a live cd if it works then that could be the problem so how would i fix it cause i never encountered it since i bought the system winblows ran fine and all my other ubuntu installations worked great [22:19] Aggrav8d: the "first" virtual host listed is the default [22:20] taamodt, I think that is a known issue.. I suggest Ubuntu 32bit since adobe just release flash 10 32bit for Linux [22:20] Ganandorf: I don't know a fix, but there is a bug report on launchpad. You might want to check that for workarounds or solutions. [22:21] yeah, but ubuntu apache does that stupid thing with "Include sites-enabled/" which could pull them in any order (and it doesn't appear to be alphabetical). Surely there's a way around this without modding the whole process. [22:21] ok ill get creative. Is it possible to disable the apt configuration to the install. Can i edit the live installer configuration to use a default apt list of mirrors. or completely take it out and let it think about it after the kernel is installed to the drive? [22:21] what means debports [22:21] ? [22:21] jin: ok, so the best option is to install Ubuntu 32 bit rather than the 64? there is no good way around it? [22:21] ikonia - yeah, but ubuntu apache does that stupid thing with "Include sites-enabled/" which could pull them in any order (and it doesn't appear to be alphabetical). Surely there's a way around this without modding the whole process. [22:22] soundray: the strange thing is i cannot mount the drive on any other ubuntu running harddrive they all restart and in winblows even though i installed something to read ext3 so i could get my data of it that does not work and keeps asking me to format the drive which i don't want to do [22:22] taamodt, I don't know. there should be a workaround for flash on 64bit but it's very badly supported. [22:22] is there an sha1 sum checker with a gnome GUI? [22:22] taamodt: around what? [22:22] Aggrav8d: it's not any order, should be the top one in the include list [22:22] soundray: where would i find the bug report [22:22] ikonia: okay, updated menu.lst. Do I need to run anything to set that change? Assuming I don't [22:22] Ganandorf: on launchpad. It has a search engine. [22:22] gsiener: nope, reboot and your done [22:22] jin, taamodt: flash works fine on 64bit [22:23] jrid/jin: I was asking if the only real option when having a 64 bit Ubuntu and having Flash that wont play is to reinstall Ubuntu 32 bit. [22:23] ikonia: awesome, easier than I thought! [22:23] jrib: ok, then I would really appreciate some guidance:) [22:23] soundray: can you post a link to the site [22:23] Ganandorf: I agree the story is strange. Normally one would expect a problem like that to show immediately, not after three days of successful booting [22:23] ikonia - whoever set up this system (with a2ensite) just includes the whole directory and leaves the order up to fate,chance,and buddha. [22:23] !bugs | Ganandorf [22:23] I need to take an avi and convert it to a wmv so that lameass windows users can view this with the standard codecs on windows.. I was using acidrip but i cant figure out wich video codec would result in a wmv format? [22:23] soundray, during this upgrade I am seeing: [22:23] http://pastebin.com/m4bb1edc0 [22:23] taamodt: just install flashplugin-nonfree. Ubuntu automatically uses nspluginwrapper so you can use 32bit flash [22:23] jrib, I think that's a workaround to make it work, there is no official 64bit release of flash for Linux [22:23] Aggrav8d: mine responds to the same order in the file [22:23] http://pastebin.com/m4bb1edc0 and a few fails.. should I worry about these? [22:24] currently..the file was made with an xvid4 codec. [22:24] zerko: you can safely ignore this warning. [22:24] not that it maters [22:24] all of them? [22:24] Ganandorf: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [22:24] jin: you're right that adobe doesn't help, but nspluginwrapper can be used (and installing flashplugin-nonfree on 64bit automatically sets that up) [22:24] alot of it is giving this error [22:24] zerko: yes, all of them [22:24] ok cool [22:24] jrib: then after installing flashplugin-non free then it should work automatically? [22:24] is it almost done? heh [22:24] DrX: ya raid 5 is notorious for hiding bad volumes :) good to hear you found it. [22:24] it takes a while [22:24] jrib, do you get the same performance as flash 10 32bit? [22:25] taamodt: and restarting your browser, yeah [22:25] jin: I haven't bothered with flash 10 [22:25] ? [22:25] taamodt: you have to restart your browser, and you may have to remove gnash if you've installed that before. [22:25] soundray: thanks for your time and help man i hope i get this fixed [22:25] jrib, flash 10 is a big step forward compared to 9. [22:25] Ganandorf: good luck [22:25] where do i put a command . after exit 0 or before? in /etc/rc.local ? [22:25] jin: flash is one big step backward imo [22:25] jrib/soundray: how do i remover the things i have already done? Such as Gnash.. [22:25] hi help me for sksystar2 remote and Lirc programing [22:25] llll, before [22:25] jrib, try flash 10 ;) [22:25] llll: it's your choice. If you put it after, it won't be executed, though. [22:25] Hey. I want to install VNC on Ubuntu Server Edition and be able to VNC to it, BUT I am not sure which packages I need for X. Help? [22:26] taamodt: remove their packages with a package manager like Synaptic [22:26] WDC: just pull down vnc and it will pull down what x packages you need [22:26] hi help me for sksystar2 remote and Lirc programing [22:26] ikonia: really? wow [22:26] someone in here yesterday posted a great helpful link to a custom xorg.conf that someone had made in order to fix a very glitchy trackpad on my macbook pro [22:26] ok [22:26] does anyone know who that may be or at least be able to link me again to that same thing [22:26] soundray what meant by [22:26] # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution [22:26] # bits. [22:26] i tried googling but couldnt find it [22:26] jrib: so removing Gnash from synaptic should do the trick then? Or is there more that needs to be removed and changed before installing adobe? [22:27] jclbrt, check your browser history? [22:27] jclbrt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook_Santa_Rosa is basically what I use on my macbook. I imagine it should be similar for the pros but check the corresponding pages on the wiki [22:27] llll: it's enabled by default. You can disable it on the command line with 'sudo chmod -x /etc/rc.local', and re-enable it with 'sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local'. That's what's meant [22:27] taamodt: that should be fine [22:28] 82% Configuring apt: Scanning the mirror "Bad archive mirrir" "The specified ubuntu archive mirror is either not available or does not have a valid Release fine on it.

[22:30] jrib: i tried the same thing for the macbook pro but unfortunately it wasn't right [22:30] :-( [22:30] hi help me for sksystar2 remote and Lirc programing [22:30] jclbrt: "wasn't right"? [22:30] Mr_Fixit, block him using iptables ? [22:30] ok.. i'll look into that [22:30] thanks [22:30] Okay, I have vnc4server installed, but I cannot connect to it. I have run the "vnc4server" command and put a password, anything else I need to do? Ubuntu Server Edition [22:31] hi help me for sksystar2 remote and Lirc programing [22:31] Some_Person: usplash can only use VESA modes, and none of those are widescreen. So, the answer is, you can't.

You could remove "quiet splash" from your /boot/grub/menu.lst -- it makes for a more technocratic-looking boot process. [22:32] it didn't quiet work for me jrib [22:32] I'm looking for a web frontend for ubuntu like the frontend of open-wrt to control all best services in ubuntu by web broser [22:32] soundray: Nah, I don't want garbage text [22:33] but then someone here found a better link to it and that worked GREAT [22:33] Alix3c3, webmin?

[23:11] ChrisBookwood: what exaclty are you trying to to? it sounds to me the alais works perfectly, it changes to that directory and then starts irssi [23:11] ok, is this all I do soundray? also how do I delete it so the machine doesn't try to boot from this messed up kernel? [23:12] Arlianin: you have to tel us the brand/type of wireless card you have that is not working. then someone can help you [23:12] zerko: did the output all look normal?

[23:15] Arlianin: hold on a sec :) [23:16] Killeroid: the idea is, when i enter ~/.irssi in terminal, it resizes to the size i want irssi, and it works fine. Now i want it to enter ~/.irssi when i start irssi [23:16] still going sound [23:16] Some_Person: my widescreen laptop has 1280x800 in usplash.conf by the way [23:16] so i still can't get the restricted drivers menu to work?

Let me shutdown and see [23:18] zerko: okay, so the nonworking kernel is still default. Now I'd prefer not to remove it... Can you do a 'sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst' and tell me what it says in the line that starts with "default"? [23:18] can anyone help me? [23:18] Some_Person: maybe a little bit [23:18] ChrisBookwood: you are not calling the alias. since you aliased both commands to irssi, you have to type irssi from terminal, not ~/.irssi [23:18] GaMbi_DK: I don't have my Ubuntu program on disc. I would like to have a copy just in case!!!! [23:18] PoisonArrow: the new kernel of 8.10 (2.6.27) got support for that chips (a patch was added) so the new ubuntu supports it [23:19] Arlianin: ok sry then i cant really help you I use a zyxel AG220 and it worked out of the box [23:19] DavidCanarias, yea you can do that! the first installation was done from a live disk.. can be downloaded on ubuntus homepage.. from that you can boot ubuntu on any computer.. and install from the viatual boot [23:19] soundray default 0 [23:20] suddenly mupen64plus won't go above 7fps when last week it was working fine [23:20] randal! - check the pm i just sent you [23:20] erUSUL, I see. would you happen to know what I might need to do to get the drivers working under another distro with the kernel 2.6.25. Would I only need the header files for 2.6.27? or would I need the patch also? [23:20] Killeroid: i think you misunderstood me... I've made a hack, that resizes the window if i go to ~/.irssi ... Now i want to be able to just type 'irssi' in the terminal, and then it goes to ~/.irssi and then start up irssi (which will now be in a resized terminal( [23:20] zerko: change the 0 into a 2, then reboot.

[23:21] zerko: I'll hang around to see if it works (but not for too much longer) [23:21] so if this works I basically have upgraded from 6 to 8.04 with the newest kernel?

[23:30] but that's not to say you can't switch between desktops when using *buntu [23:30] nor completely remove the default desktop [23:30] DavidCanarias: np :) [23:30] ChrisBookwood: check out wmctrl [23:30] so it shows invalid driver when i use the command ndiswrapper -l [23:30] Randal1: what wireless adapter is it? [23:31] how do you change the nice value in command line [23:31] hi, what is this restricted driver "wl" which come down on updates yesterday? [23:31] Trendnet 424UB [23:31] I have tried everything I can find to get this ATI 9200 Pro to work Dual head. [23:31] jrib: wouldn't it be possible with alias? it seems like a nicer way of doing it [23:31] is it ok to create swap as RAID0, or is RAID5 better just incase a drive fails? [23:31] I get Clone. [23:31] al: nice for a new command, renice for an already-running command [23:31] emorris: it's a driver for the bcm4315 [23:31] Hello, I'm trying to use my dub-h7 d-link with 7 usb ports, I would like to know if some one can give me a hand to configure this. [23:31] my digital camera is no longer "plug and play" after upgrading to 8.04. Need help getting it to work [23:31] an already running process [23:31] ChrisBookwood: alias just runs some command. You're going to be running wmctrl [23:31] hello any spyke spanish [23:31] !es | cristhian [23:31] cristhian: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [23:32] crimsun: i already have one for that. is that different? [23:32] how is** [23:32] ChrisBookwood: though really it may be easier to just write a small shell script instead of an alias [23:32] cristhian, go to ubuntu-es channel [23:32] emorris: I.e., bundled on quite a few laptops (that no longer have to use ndiswrapper, as this is a native Linux driver) [23:32] ok [23:32] tak you [23:32] jrib: i will try that, [23:32] carrera: thats something my team has wondered forever [23:33] Hello, I'm trying to use my dub-h7 d-link with 7 usb ports, I would like to know if some one can give me a hand to configure this. [23:33] Randal1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TRENDnet_TEW-424UB_3.0R_(ndiswrapper) [23:33] So i have a Trendnet 424UB wireless USB and it tells me "invalid driver!" when i use ndiswrapper -v i'm not sure if i installed ndiswrapper incorrectly. But i know the driver is right [23:33] crimsun: I already had, and still have "Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver", but why "wl" as well? [23:33] emorris: b43 or wl? They're different drivers. [23:33] just did a reinstall.. before it I had access to the desktop effects (super+e to go to overview etc..) now the icon "System -> Preference -> [Advanced Appearance](or something like that)" is gone [23:33] I am unable to get my ATI 9200 Pro to work Dual Head. Clone works, OS: ubuntu 8.04 LTS [23:33] anyone knows how to access it? [23:33] emorris: I.e., each drives distinct hardware. [23:34] ok changed the nice value. will this make converting a video file faster [23:34] GaMbi_DK: You need to install ccsm for that to show up. [23:34] !ccsm | GaMbi_DK [23:34] GaMbi_DK: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [23:34] thanks idimmu, perhaps you can answer this question: what happens if one of my 3 drives in RAID0 for swap fails? [23:34] GaMbi_DK: you have to install ccsm [23:34] emorris: b43 is a reverse enginenred driver, wl is released directly from the manufacturer, wl is the best driver [23:34] crimsun: well b43 i installed, but wl seemed to install itself the other day on updates [23:34] thx alot pici and cchapman [23:34] Killeroid: ah, ok, so should i get rid of b43 then? [23:35] does anyone out there have a Dell Mini 9 with Ubuntu? [23:35] Can i put a Crack game in WINE? [23:35] restricted hardware drivers > uncheck b43 and select wl [23:35] carrera: never been there, i think raid >0 is best for swap iir [23:35] Tonno: yes u can [23:35] Killeroid: ok, they are both checked now, so I guess I'll just uncheck b43 [23:36] emorris: yeah, do so [23:36] crimsun, Killeroid: ok, thanks both for your help [23:37] idimmu, do u mean RAID1 or higher? [23:37] dekkong, how? I ask how because I click to the . exe so then it must open in WINE, but i doesn't do anything [23:37] redundant, so raid 1 or highter, i.e. not raid 0 [23:37] hi guys....

It can and has done before [23:48] paggas: like [23:48] default proto static [23:48] nexthop via 192.168.40.1 dev eth0 weight 1 [23:48] nexthop via 192.168.40.2 dev eth0 weight 1 [23:48] juak: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:49] i'm trying to loadbalance between the two [23:49] malibu: I do stimes [23:49] Does anybody know how to use pulseaudio from the command line? I know what commands I want pulseaudio to run, I just don't know how to run them. [23:49] didn't try it... I thought you meant a shell script would be smarter? [23:49] Malibu: Sorry, I use windows for that if I ever do it. I use nero/alcohol. [23:49] what i don't know is how to test if a connection is effectively being routed over one or another gw [23:49] usser, thanks [23:50] BCM34: you can tell pulseaudio to run a file of commands [23:50] i have set the xdm as my display manager and then turned back to gdm editing the /etc/x11/default-display-manager file, and now i have problems with the keyboard layout in the terminal running the X server(Crtl Alt F7), How do i fix this? [23:50] BCM34: see `pulseaudio --help' [23:50] malibu: I just came in, your question ? [23:50] crimsun: oh, so you need a script? [23:50] I want to know what you use to do it.. [23:50] jrib: didn't try... I thouhgt you said a shell script would be smarter? [23:50] BCM34: No, OO looks fine [23:50] juak: are the gateways doing nat? if not, i guess a connection will be using both of them at the same time [23:50] BCM34: if you know all the commands, you can script them. [23:50] ChrisBookwood: wmctrl is a command. If you choose to use an alias, then you'll put wmctrl somewhere in it. But I thought it would be easier if you instead used a shell script so you could organize things better. You would still use wmctrl and irssi in there [23:50] crimsun: ok, thanks [23:50] I'm getting tired of manually selecting out the files in 4.5 Gb chunks [23:51] Shakedown: no idea then. [23:51] paggas. yes they are, and the conecctions are tracked with conntrack to mantain level 4 conectivity [23:51] jrib: oh, i thouhgt it was some kind of software [23:51] /msg ubottuetiquette [23:51] ChrisBookwood: commands are software [23:51] sorry. [23:51] malibu: (!who) so you need a file splitter ? [23:52] jrib: again, you are right, but you know what i meant [23:52] juak: but ping doesn't make connections, it just sends icmp packets [23:52] dekkong, doesn't do anything [23:52] DasEi: Maybe.... Will that seperate the files for me? [23:52] DasEi: I've never found one that will group files in DVD sized chunks [23:53] Tonno: are you sure that you are in the right location? [23:53] malibu: pm you ? [23:53] Heya, anyone happen to know where gnomes desktop wallpapers that come with ubuntu are located at? /usr/share/something maybe? [23:53] dekkong, yes [23:53] sure [23:53] paggas: yes i know, that's mainly why i don't know how to test if it works ok...i mean the icmp gets routed and i have the replys, but i can't tell over which gw it was going :S [23:53] ping! [23:53] Anybody know why text I enter in forum posts/comments is all underlined red (misspelled)? I'm in Firefox by the way.

[23:55] psyco, grub-install /dev/sda (OR whatever your drive is ) [23:55] yes, as the same way that I tried to do in the Wine [23:56] hi all [23:56] which of /, /home, /tmp and /var would you put closer to the end of the disk for performance? [23:56] hey now that they came out with open office 3, how do i install it on ubuntu? [23:56] juak: try setting a hop limit, that way you'll get an icmp message back from the router the packet *would* go (if there wasn't a hop limit) [23:56] 3G Sprint EV-DO + Network Manager + hal-info bug ... any takers? My sprint card works, but is listed three times in network manager's list of connections, though only one works. [23:56] Tonno: you might have to upgrade wine [23:57] Tonno: please check your wine version [23:57] Tonno: wine --version in terminal [23:57] pagas: i'll try that now, traceroute's first hop is always the same router so maybe it isn't working well [23:57] so i'm still having problems with the Trendnet 424UB wireless driver when i try to navigate to the file it gives me a syntax error?

[23:58] how to change what is default boot option i grub? [23:58] yes i tried to follow that [23:58] radovich: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:58] oh... we have to wait until it hits the repos? what will happen when it hits those? will it automatically update? [23:58] dekkong, it say "wine-1.0" [23:59] or will we have to do it through the add/remove? [23:59] Tonno: ok the latest one is 1.1.6 [23:59] millertime_018: yeah, it wil auto update(update manager will show you there is an update) [23:59] Say I have a directory with 1000 files totalling 10Gb, how can i sort /grep them in subfolders totaling 4.5 gb [23:59] Killeroid, and what do i put in order to make foo boot instead of fum?
