[00:17] emorris: basically, the new wl driver cant subside with the ssb, b43 driver but your modem uses the b44 driver which relies on the ssb driver. so for wl to work, you hav to blacklist b43, b44 and ssb but then you can use wired connections cos your modem deosnt have a driver. [00:17] so you have to choose between using b43 and keeping your modem driver or using wl and having a really fast wireless connection but not being able to use a wired connection. [00:17] , [00:17] Killeroid: yes? is it anything to do with this really bad network bug in intrepid? [00:17] woops [00:18] emorris: no, the network bug is something else [00:18] nvidia [00:18] Hello ppl, I am unable to get my usb hub to work (D-Link DUB-H7 7-Port USB Hub) and wondered if anyone could possibly help me with this problem. [00:18] krlitos, oh rite, sorry I only have experience with ATI [00:18] Killeroid: ssb? [00:18] ok [00:19] emorris: ssb module, both b43 and b44(the modem driver) rely on it [00:19] If I'm trying recover a fat32 partition that been partitioned to a different FS with TestDisk, should I partition the drive back to fat32 before running TestDisk or other recovery software? [00:20] Killeroid: ok, thanks. i'll probably stick with b43 for now. it works. [00:20] some one knows about how to enable my desktop effects after enableing my nvidia card === treker is now known as plonkee [00:21] i am new at this [00:21] emorris: yeah, i always use wireless so it was easy for me to just switch to wl and junk the b43,b44, ssb driver. when i want to use a wired connection, i just manually unload the wl driver and then load the b44 and ssb driver [00:21] Can anyone help me with some wireless issues [00:21] !ask | storrgie [00:21] storrgie: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:22] Killeroid: sounds a pain in the arse TBH [00:22] anyone know how to tell ubuntu to "fix" nvidia drivers? both the kernel modules and the proprietary drivers [00:22] i had installed them manually and for some reason now my kernel updates fail because of missing dependencies [00:22] How sensitive is Ubuntu to hardware changes???????? [00:22] I have a WRT56G, Ralink chipset. It was just connected to my wireless network, when I restarted it connects to the network but says 0%, and I cant get an IP [00:23] i enable my card drivers and when i am going to enable my desktop effects it says that it can not be enable [00:23] emorris: i use the wired connection, once in every month, so its perfect for me to use the wl for the rest fo the time. faster speeds when i sue wl instead of b43 [00:23] *use [00:24] ? [00:24] Yay [00:24] I got my wifi working [00:25] log_nick: i was going to suggest #puppylinux, but I see you're already there. you could also try #ati or #nvidia for info re. proprietry drivers [00:25] I have 1 primary drive that has windows, 1 extended contains 4 logical drives , now , should what should I make the extra drive for / ? primary or logical ? [00:26] #ubuntu-es [00:26] I have a WRT56G, Ralink chipset. It was just connected to my wireless network, when I restarted it connects to the network but says 0%, and I cant get an IP.

[00:28] Killeroid: interesting. are there any other advantages of wl over b43? [00:28] Umm.. im in ccsm atm.. Iw saw some kewl videos with the cube.. but cant get it to work.. the desktop wall and all the other effects works perfectly! but Cant get the damn cube to appear.. anyone who can help? could it be due to my TV-out? [00:28] Will changing a motherboard or processor run you into any problems if you don't re-install Ubuntu? [00:28] anyone who got the cube desktop to work with tv-out? :) [00:28] I have 1 primary drive that has windows, 1 extended contains 4 logical drives , now , should what should I make the extra drive for / ? primary or logical ? [00:29] Is there in xchat a setting to prevent showing nicks which could be too long? [00:29] I have a WRT56G, Ralink chipset. It was just connected to my wireless network, when I restarted it connects to the network but says 0%, and I cant get an IP [00:30] emorris: signal quality is better, b43 used to output a lot of errors ito my system log, no more errors ever since i started using wl. Personall, the greatest perk is the speed. very vast difference for me. [00:31] If I'm trying recover a fat32 partition that been partitioned to a different FS with TestDisk, should I partition the drive back to fat32 before running TestDisk or other recovery software? [00:32] or if anyone can point me in the direction of a chanel might be able to help [00:33] DINK: you most probably wont be able to recover anything since you wiped the old partition and then installed a few FS. ask in ##linux but i am pretty sure they will tell you the same [00:33] DINK:its not formatted yet ? only parti-table ? [00:35] DasEi: since he repartitioned to a different FS, he most definitely formatted it [00:35] how do you force restart a wireless card?

[00:36] ubuntu_todd: use a text browser [00:36] thiebaude: This is on an auxilarly drive [00:36] so no [00:36] DINK:if you formatted, it'll be quite impossible to recover any data [00:36] ubuntu_todd: use elinks [00:36] ubuntu_todd: are you looking for a text-mode web browser? [00:36] Yes. [00:36] ubuntu_todd: sudo apt-get install elinks [00:36] ubuntu_todd: try one of these - elinks, lynx, w3m, edbrowse, netrik [00:36] DasEi: would a format on a 1 TB drive take a long time?

[00:38] Hehe. Does every website have a text mode? [00:39] ubuntu_todd: no. next to no websites do. these browsers just let you see *normal* websites as text. [00:39] DasEi: because I'm running TestDisk right now and it's just taking bloody forever and I'm wondering If I should have partitioned it back to fat32 because I might be able to recover data that way if can work in a fat32 environment (it's looking like it's going to take ~3 days to complete the scan) [00:39] i am having issues with my wireless card can anyone help me, it is a WRT56G, and was working 10 minutes ago... i dont know how to troubleshoot it [00:39] what are the reason why i could not ennable my desktop effects after installing my card and compiz [00:40] Killeroid: So what's the advantage of using text websites? [00:41] DINK:can you tell a litttle mre about the environment ? ubuntu machine ? sys drive ? steps taken until now ? [00:41] DasEi: it was an external 1TB drive that I was moving files off of (to be backed up :/ ) and I thought I had all the files off of it so I turned the drive into HFS+ but then realized that I hadn't moved off all the data [00:41] ubuntu_todd: i dont understand your question. if you are asking the advantages of using a text browser, then i guess, i use a text browser when i have no need to render the imageso n a website , i just want t read [00:42] Killeroid: Same for me. But it is a little bit difficult to use. Cause I have used the GUI for many many years. [00:42] ubuntu_todd: err... then use the GUI [00:43] killeroid:too many commands in w3m, the text browser, didnt even know where to enter a web address [00:43] comon noone has ever had to diagnose wireless problems? i would just like to know where to start [00:43] thiebaude: i use elinks, the learnnig curve is very gentle IMO [00:44] LjL: Sometimes I like in terminal to make program and listen to music using mpg123.

[00:47] LjL: yes [00:47] musashi: if you're aware then why are you asking here?

[01:09] no [01:09] krlitos, or fire up the package manager and manually install 'nvidia-glx-legacy' package.. or 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy' [01:09] its from the nvidia [01:09] website [01:09] Guest85278: also next to performance it always was a problem with loosing data [01:09] those drivers don't work right [01:09] it always worked before, i just had to reinstall with a new HD now it doesnt [01:10] ok it says is already the newest version [01:10] krlitos, if you just installed them in this session. You will need to reboot for them to take full effect. [01:11] ok thaks ill be back [01:11] DINK:what a machine is doing the testdisk job ? [01:12] so I have an intel ICH10 SATA controller and I cannot install ubuntu from a sata cd rom onto my sata hard drives, it drops to busybox [01:13] I've seen plenty of forum posts that suggest various things, such as break=top, modprobe piix, but I have no piix module when I try that [01:13] I've set my SATA to compatibility mode, as another suggested [01:13] still no dice [01:13] any help? [01:13] i need to install to compact flash what's the best way to do this? [01:13] i have the drive in but Ubuntu can't find it [01:14] i need help setting up my wireless internet on ubuntu [01:14] is it possible to mount only certain directories on a device? for instance /dev/sda1/myhome -> /home/me /dev/sda1/config -> /etc and so on (this is an example that might not make sense, but the actual application, i think, is rather nice) [01:14] jadams_: in your BIOS does the SATA controller offer an IDE and RAID mode? [01:14] jadams_:ibex? [01:15] DasEi, when I tried that, it failed with a panic [01:15] i need help setting up my wireless internet on ubuntu [01:15] mneptok, no RAID, I've got the SATA in IDE rather than AHCI mode [01:15] jadams_:are u sing hardy or ibex ? [01:15] Ademan, not that i have ever seen.. You could perhaps use soft links , to make one directory that you want access to - appear somewhere. [01:16] can some1 plz help me? [01:16] jadams_: pu it in AHCI, please [01:16] jadams_: *put [01:16] DasEi, hardy, ibex fails with a panix [01:16] mneptok, will try [01:16] dr_willis: that's unfortunate, since a fair number of applications have the ability to deal with soft links differently [01:17] Ademan, use hardlinks perhaps.. Ive hever had issues with software having issues with softlinks [01:17] That was redundant of me to repeate.. :) [01:17] :-p [01:18] the thing about hard links is they don't work across devices, and may not work across mount points, but i'll look into it, thanks [01:18] I have a related problem with what must be a sata drive. I installed Hardy onto it a few months ago, and it was trouble free, right untill today, with no updates. When trying to boot with a live-cd, I have run gparted and removed the partitions, and when I try to install, I can't write any new partitions to it. [01:18] Ademan, i have linked like /etc/Somthing to /mnt/extradrive/settings befor. [01:18] with hard links? [01:18] Ademan, soft links only if across devices.. as you said. === lakitu2 is now known as lakitu [01:18] can some1 plz help me?! [01:18] ah, cool, well i may be overly paranoid about the implications of soft links then [01:18] Ademan, had to move some things from / to some free space on my /home partition befor. [01:19] !ask | KMan2121 [01:19] KMan2121: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [01:19] Ademan, I will say.. i cant rember ANY issues with using softlinks. [01:19] jadams_:but hardy works ? [01:19] Ademan, compared to say.. using shortcuts under windows.. :) ive had lots of issues with them [01:19] dr_willis: :-) [01:19] i asked twice already but i'll ask again: i need help setting up my wireless internet on ubuntu [01:19] I have a port question. If I'm using port 6667, can any other process use it? [01:19] !wireless | KMan2121 [01:19] KMan2121: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:20] haha [01:20] jadams_: any luck? [01:20] KMan2121, explain more details to the channel. thats a broad topic. [01:20] i'll try tht thanx [01:20] i jus don't no how [01:20] i'll try the link tho [01:20] KMan2121: what kind of machine? [01:21] its custom made === melanie is now known as arrrghhh [01:21] <[TiZ]> I'm currently customizing a liveCD. I've installed a bunch of packages and added a background, but now I want to copy over the panel, theme, and font settings from here into the liveCD. How would I do so? [01:21] this afternoon, i had an update waiting for the firefox plugin mouse gestures redox. when i installed and relaunched the add-ons prefs said i needed to restart AGAIN to complete the installation. and this won't go away (aka it won't install) does anyone know a solution [01:21] dr_willis: i had this crazy idea to keep the majority of / on a flash drive, excluding directories that might get excessively big, like maybe /opt /usr/*/games and such, and then mount /home from a traditional hard drive [01:21] hey, anyone else her use banshee-1 ? I am trying to add the BBC to its internet radio stations, but I can't find the config folder and adding the addresses manually doesn't work [01:21] so i have an issue with nautilus. it randomly doesn't show files in folders! it literally says 0 items. i can view the same files using ls, thunar, etc... [01:22] jadams_:one machine I run has the same busybox-thing with ibex, both sata, hd n cd, but hardy works well, otherwise hardy>live>updateinitramfs [01:22] the idea being faster boot times... while not sacrificing storage space for user data [01:22] <[TiZ]> arrrghhh, are they dot files? [01:22] arrrghhh: don't use nautilus [01:22] my xwindows won't start... is there a quick fix? [01:22] Ademan, gotta watch out for some things in / - some of the stuff may be needed very early in the boot up, befor stuff is fully mounted. [01:22] [TiZ], not by a longshot [01:22] can someone please help me with my USB printer? It's an HP PSC 1315 All-In-One printer. It shows up as "psc_1310_series" in my "Default Printer" menu. My "lsusb" reports "Bus 002 Device 002: ID 03f0:3f11 Hewlett-Packard PSC-1315/PSC-1317" but I'm unable to print. All print jobs stay in the spool and never get printed off. [01:22] bruenig, how do i replace nautilus with thunar? [01:22] just use thunar [01:22] Ademan, i dont worry about 2 Min boot times.. when i have 3+month Uptimes. [01:22] like click on it and stuff [01:23] <[TiZ]> Oh. That reminds me, I need to install epdfview into my livecd [01:23] Just make an icon to Thunar on the desktop. :) but thats not exactly what you asked. [01:23] dr_willis: i thought /boot was all you needed to get going, from there, i mean /*/bin and /etc and /usr/share would be available to any startup programs [01:23] bruenig, well when i go to places and open a place it defaults to nautilus, i want it to default to nautilus [01:23] it's for my girlfriend, i want to make this as *simple* (read: break-proof) as possible. [01:23] dr_willis: think is i'm thinking about a laptop that I tote around alot, looking to get a netbook and set something like what i'm describing up [01:23] Ademan, /boot has the kernel stuff.. once the kernel is loaded.. /boot isent even needed.. gentoo dosent mount /boot by default. [01:23] oh well you can't do that because gnome is as locked in and awful as osx and windows combined, but you can use it yourself [01:24] Ademan, looking at those netbooks also. :) perhaps this Xmas i may get one. [01:24] arrrghhh: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/nonautilusplease [01:24] #kde is that way... [01:24] <[TiZ]> bruenig: if you feel that way, what are you doing in the gnome ubuntu channel? O_o [01:24] legend2440, thanks! that site is awesome, i've used it before for going to "pure-gnome", "pure-kde" etc. [01:24] mneptok, thanks, that worked [01:24] I would've mentioned sooner but I was getting the installer started [01:25] Gnome does take a 'when in doubt lock it out' mentality :) but in some cases thats good.. [01:25] mneptok, awesome. I have an intel quad core Q6600, 4GB RAM in this sucker, so I'm siked to get it running [01:25] <[TiZ]> Anyways, how do I copy my panel, theme, and font settings into a liveCD that I'm editing. I've got a terminal open, chrooted into it. [01:26] can someone please help me with my USB printer? It's an HP PSC 1315 All-In-One printer.

[01:26] my work computer is an AMD quad core (phenom?) and it's alright, but I've heard the intel beats its pants off and tomshardware seems to agree. [01:26] [TiZ]: this is not exclusively a channel about supporting the particular gnome package in ubuntu iirc [01:26] DasEi: a Macbook [01:26] I mean that is what it boils down to so often because we shy away from cli for some reason, but there are other questions occasionally [01:26] <[TiZ]> Of course not, but it seems weird that an obvious kde fan would be here in the gnome ubuntu channel [01:26] isn't there a #kubuntu? [01:27] [TiZ]: I don't use kde [01:27] <[TiZ]> Exactly. The- oh. XFCE? [01:27] there is indeed [01:27] ah i <3 XFCE [01:27] there is a #kubuntu [01:27] i use kde [01:28] DINK:Hardy on mac === atoponce is now known as eightyeight [01:28] i'm so clueless rite now, i need step-by-step instructions on how 2 set up my internet [01:28] [TiZ]: dwm [01:28] anyhow, does anyone know where the banshee-1 package puts its config files? [01:28] <[TiZ]> I see. [01:28] [TiZ], this is not the "GNOME" ubuntu channel. it's the ubuntu channel period. [01:29] bruenig: really dwm? that's pretty hardcore, how do you like it? [01:29] it didn't create a ~/.gnome2/banshee [01:29] <[TiZ]> A little late jumping on me, there. [01:29] dwm is great, no clutter, everything you need, just fluid and uninvasive [01:29] KMan2121, first step would be getting the wirless card working properly, thats the hard part.. then you would configure networking.. I dont do wireless any more.. so cant help much more then that. Determine your exact wireless card, and its chipset, would be #1 task to do [01:29] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TRENDnet_TEW-424UB_3.0R_(ndiswrapper) i don't understand the last step? [01:30] i have the eeepc 1000h with win xp installed , booting up with my eeeubuntu cd -- i remember last time getting confused with the hard drive config (how do i shrink the ntfs partition to make room for ubuntu . . .). do i need to prepare for the install by pre-formatting the hard drive partitions? [01:30] KMan2121, plug it in, it works! [01:30] at least it always has for me haha [01:30] i can't [01:30] can someone please help me with my USB printer? It's an HP PSC 1315 All-In-One printer.

[01:31] KMan2121, i crimp my own cable. it'll be expensive haha [01:31] My monitor is 1400 x 1050. I use a nvidia graphics card. X autoconfigurations detects it as 1280 x 800. Nvidia config detects as something out of my monitors range. How do I fix this, and still use nvidia-settings? [01:31] ok... [01:31] bruenig: how many other tiling window managers have you tried? I was looking at awesomewm, it's basically dwm without the crap about compiling in your config (which i've done...) [01:31] how bout $30??? [01:31] KMan2121, i'm not going to sell you any cat5. i don't even have any bulk cable anymore. [01:31] lol jk [01:31] My monitor is 1400 x 1050. I use a nvidia graphics card.

[01:32] Ademan: I went to dwm first, it worked great, didn't move on. Awesome and the others are bigger in size and slightly slower. Although I doubt significantly. Dwm does one thing and does it perfectly. It doesn't really branch into the areas of awesome and the others with their little widget things and such [01:32] so i am really worried at this point i am at the 'prepare disk space component of my install -- i can do guided (resize scsI1 (0,0,0), partition #2 (sda) and use freed space <-- will this disturb my windows partition -- what if i want more space for windows??

The windows 98 drivers from realtek work _perfectly_ in ndiswrapper. Just use ndisgtk to install them. [01:55] ThePandemic82: I upgrade my workstation asap, but servers I leave on the LTS version [01:55] postersandguitar: if it's offering upgrades for packages, it's because you have them installed, probably as dependencies for some other programs [01:55] well I'm a pretty new user when it comes to linux. Been using windows for about 9 years, but now I've seen the light..so to speak. [01:55] jrib: k [01:55] jrib: I tried whart you sent me already [01:55] <[TiZ]> I know what you mean. I switched about four months ago. [01:56] postersandguitar: you set explicit modelines? [01:56] I still can't belive I used anything else [01:56] how do i install drivers from the windows disc if im running ubuntu??? how would I go about installing wireless drivers? [01:56] jrib: Yeah, I still got out of range. For some reason nvidia-xconfig seems to set it out of range. [01:56] INFO (no need help just plain stupidity)!!! So.. as I asked about before.. how do I get ccsm cube to work? I had a lot other fun stuff working.. including two workspaces on each side of what would look like a peace of paper.. 1 hour later of intense searching on google I come up with the idea that I might need 4 workspaces for this trick to work.. DO'H!!! [01:56] hello, good evening.. the simple question : how to update wine? [01:57] postersandguitar: you should be editing the file AFTER running nvidia-xconfig. nvidia-xconfig just edits /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:57] can someone please help me with my USB printer? It's an HP PSC 1315 All-In-One printer. It shows up as "psc_1310_series" in my "Default Printer" menu. My "lsusb" reports "Bus 002 Device 002: ID 03f0:3f11 Hewlett-Packard PSC-1315/PSC-1317" but I'm unable to print. All print jobs stay in the spool and never get printed off. (x8) [01:57] you need to add 2 more panels to get a cube [01:57] <[TiZ]> Well, just copy the drivers off of the CD. Put them somewhere easy to get to, but out of your way. Before doing that, though, insert the ubuntu cd, and install ndisgtk from synaptic [01:57] JackOS, really? :P yea I feel kinda stupid right now :P [01:58] http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3253948& < GaMbi_DK: hey, it had me stumped for a while as well.

It's an Eaglebit External hard drive [01:58] <[TiZ]> After installing ndisgtk and copying your wifi drivers somewhere, go System -> Admin. -> Windows Wireless Drivers. Click the install button and find the .inf file for your driver [01:58] <[TiZ]> Uh. I use the Windows 98 driver here. [01:58] <[TiZ]> I would suspect Win98 drivers aren't available on HP's site though [01:59] I'm doing a GUI update of feisty right now for a friend, in preparation for upgrade to gutsy (and later hardy) What I'd rather do is once this is finished, go home and do a cli upgrade. What's the command? [01:59] go home and ssh in I mean [01:59] <[TiZ]> So just get the 32-bit WinXP drivers [01:59] xomp: did you try the newest drivers from HP?

[02:04] uh oh you made the bot overlords angry [02:04] about how large of a hard drive do i need for an ubuntu install? [02:04] well, will the games run good? Or will i get terrible FPS? Mind you, I have a 9800GTX+ [02:04] not alot of apps on it [02:04] ThePandemic: I belive you can play some source games on it, but I don't think that the installer works yet [02:04] <[TiZ]> Depends on the drivers you install. With good drivers, it could possibly be faster than Windows. [02:04] <[TiZ]> I hear Steam has a platinum rating on Wine. [02:04] jrib, fat 32\ [02:05] well i used envy to install the nvidia display driver [02:05] <[TiZ]> So if you can install it through steam, you should- ACK!

[02:09] :/ [02:09] I'm having problems upgrading ram [02:09] [TiZ]: I think it makes a directory called /etc/desktop/profiles or /etc/profiles/desktop or something similar.

I am using ultimate live right now. My question is, how do I install ubuntu from here, live, using the partition that windows is on? I'd basically like to steal some gigbs from that partition i guess [02:10] <[TiZ]> AdamMoredo: Another distro entirely? Well, thanks for responding, at least. [02:10] jrib, I found out what the disk was called and mount it [02:10] renegade420: you need to pass a proper umask in the mount options [02:10] [TiZ]: No. Sabayon is a utility that creates images of desktop profiles.

Can someone point me to a tutorial that will walk me through all the steps that will show me howto map a network drive on my ubuntu box from a win xp machine? [02:11] King: try virtualizing it using VirtualBox. Your hardrive will thank you for not choping it up [02:11] AdamMoredo: Isn't Sabayon a GNU/Linux distro? [02:12] does anyone know how to setup mail server on a Ubuntu Server ( good docs)/ [02:12] AdamMoredo: So far as I know, it's based on Gentoo. [02:12] theflamingpi__: Yes, but Sabayon is _also_ a desktop image generation program. [02:12] AdamMoredo: Thanks. [02:12] Ttech: check howtoforge, they have brilliant server articles. [02:12] citizen42alpha, thanks. [02:12] Anyone using the new Flash10? [02:13] I remember strongly disliking GNOME a few years ago, and sabayon made my job so much easier, that I began to like GNOME a lot more just for that. [02:13] The equivalent process for KDE (at least KDE 3) was monstrous. [02:13] <[TiZ]> Yeah, this website is definitely showing a full-blown distro. Hmm. Maybe I'm looking on the wrong place. [02:13] <[TiZ]> I tried KDE once. I didn't like it. [02:13] [TiZ]: aptitude search sabayon [02:13] system administration tool to manage GNOME desktop settings [02:14] <[TiZ]> Oh! Okay! [02:14] look...i just want to know how to take a chunk out of the vista partition. it has 140gb, it only needs 50. lol... I want linux the rest, but i DO NOT want to virtualize it [02:14] How do I display the table of contents of a .tar file through terminal? [02:14] i just installed from the livecd for 8.10 and when it rebooted I had a black screen which read GRUB in the top left with a blinking cursor next to it. I rebooted the livecd and I'm wondering how to avoid it this time [02:14] bungieQord: tar -tf . Also, read the man pages. [02:14] <[TiZ]> Y [02:14] [TiZ]: admin guide at library.gnome.org has some documentation on sabayon as well [02:14] <[TiZ]> Oops. That was supposed to go in tilda. Sorry. :P [02:15] <[TiZ]> I'll check this sabayon tool out. :D [02:15] <[TiZ]> Thank you, Adam. [02:15] No problem. [02:15] I'm trying to virtualize a thin client system before I put it into practice at work. Does anyone know where good documentation can be found on setting it up in VirtualBox? [02:15] I don't even remember why I'm in here. [02:15] <[TiZ]> I'll make sure to aptitude install it in my live CD too if I like it. :) [02:16] Hello everyone. I have a really really big problem. I have windows xp installed under vmware workstation and I accidentally reverted back to an old snapshot and lost all my files and everything. I want to know if there is a way to undo the snapshot revert. If not, do you guys know what exactly happens when you go back to a snapshot? I mean, does the old .vmx (or entire virtual hdd partition) simply get erased and replaced by a new one? If so , I could simply [02:16] [20:11] use recovery software to recover it right? Thanks. Which software do you recommend. [02:16] JackOS: well if virtualbox can do pxe booting it's pretty much the same as a real terminal [02:17] Anyone using the new Flash10 ??? [02:17] uman: try #vmware [02:17] nalioth: wtf are you doing? [02:18] greedyb: I'm installing it right now. [02:18] Does anyone know of a way in the livecd installer to make sure it sets up grub to boot because I ran it once and when i rebooted all I saw was a black screen with GRUB in the upper left corner and a blinking cursor [02:18] theflamingpi__: you following any specific directions? [02:18] <[TiZ]> I'm gonna take a break from my livecd (probably going to end up being a dvd) for now. See you later, guys. [02:18] greedyb: Yeah. I went to the website, downloaded the deb, and installed it. [02:19] theflamingpi__: ahh I heard some issues using the deb thats all.. I'll give it a try [02:19] jrib Thanks, I did, but it seems I am the only active user in the vmware channel.. [02:19] I need help configuring my wireless internet can someone send me a PM? [02:19] uman: be patient, try their mailing list/forums too [02:19] greedyb: I'm currently attempting to connect with youtube. [02:19] !wifi > Randal1 [02:19] Randal1, please see my private message [02:19] greedyb: Hopefully it won't crash or anything. [02:21] eww, ubuntu :p [02:21] i have already made the wireless driver work but i was wondering how to configure it since my wireless has a WEP Key on it and the wifi doc told me to use some commands that i'm not sure of what they do [02:22] sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid ap key sudo dhclient wlan0 so what does this mean? [02:22] you should be able to do it via GUI === Chirvo is now known as BigChirv [02:22] Randal1, try nm-applet... its much easier [02:23] how do i get that? [02:23] greedyb: It worked fine, but i had to remove flashplugin-alternative.so from /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins [02:23] theflamingpi__: thanks for the update I'll give it a shot and thanks for the tip [02:24] is this an okay place to ask questions about 8.10 [02:24] or do I need another room [02:24] tidrion: #ubuntu+1 (see the /topic) [02:26] heeelp [02:26] I'm fixing a problem with extremely low resolution, but the nvidia-settings window keeps jumping around. How do I make it stop [02:26] error 18 [02:26] on boot [02:26] from grub after ubuntu updates [02:27] postersandguitar, clarify to the channel what you mean by 'jumping around' [02:27] this is why I hate ubuntu, everytime I try to use it ..an update breaks it [02:27] By jumping around I mean moving to random parts of the window. It appears to be because the screen is too small for the window because the resolution is too low. [02:27] question: how can i use the command line to assign myself an ip using dhcp? [02:27] is there any way i could recover some files just deleted [02:28] i used iwconfg to configure my card, i just need to get an ip [02:28] im used to using dhcpcd [02:28] does anyone know how i can take some of the 140gb vista partition and free it up for a linux install? [02:28] postersandguitar, theres the nvidia-xconfig tool that can configure things from the cli also. [02:28] Nvidia xconfig doesn't detect it right. [02:28] KINGTEKRIN: the ubuntu live cd should be able to resize your vista install [02:29] well, but i dont know how...lol... [02:29] I am having trouble with iwlwifi-5300. I am getting a kernel oops every time I try to bring the interface up. [02:29] KINGTEKRIN, vista has its own partition resizer feature yoyu should use - it will be much faster then the ubuntu resizer feature [02:29] heh [02:29] boot up the cd [02:29] use the installer on the desktop [02:29] does anyone know nvidia GM8600 GT driver for the latest kernel 2.26.27 [02:29] right [02:29] there is a page for partitioning, the first option shown is to resize a partition [02:29] you can use a simple slider to change the sizes [02:30] KINGTEKRIN, vista will resize the partition in a few min.. ubuntu may take an hr+ :) so guess wht i use more [02:30] it gives me two options [02:30] guided or manual [02:30] I tried nvidia-xconfig. It didn't change it. [02:30] but on guided it says use whole disk [02:31] Is there a way to get it to stay in place? [02:31] there should be an option above that [02:31] only the guided, which if you choose uses whole 140gb;s [02:31] and below that is manual [02:31] postersandguitar, ive never seen windows randomly jump around.. so im not sure what is going on. You can use the alt-mouse to move windows around if parts of them are off screen [02:31] does anyone know a tool to test read/write speed ? [02:31] hmm, a slider showed up for my xp partition [02:31] hi [02:32] sunapi386: hdparm [02:32] try using gparted, its a partitioning utility that allows you to resize partitions [02:32] um... im having some trouble with my ubuntu [02:32] KDE4000; thx [02:32] it is on the live cd, use google to get some background [02:32] oliver__: go ahead and state your question, and someone can answer it [02:32] im having problens with my ubuntu my resolution wont go above 800 [02:33] oliver__: have you installed any drivers with the restricted driver manager? [02:33] my nvidia-settings window keeps focusing on a different part of the window when I click because the screen is at a low resolution becuase it's being detected wrong. [02:33] there are no drivers in the list [02:33] how to i get my fingerprint reader to work on hardy? [02:33] oliver__: what graphics card do you have? [02:33] Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds max supported by BIOS [02:33] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml#doc_chap6 [02:33] an old one, 3dfx voodoo3 [02:33] o_O [02:33] lol [02:33] this is what I'm getting after a kernel update [02:34] better ask someone else here, i dont know of that graphics card =[ [02:34] postersandguitar, try the tab key to move around the window I guess. Normally i manually install the nvidia-glx-XXX drivers and the res corrects itself. [02:34] already tried updating bios, no go [02:34] can we talk in private? [02:34] it says since gparted is a weapon of mass destruction, you need root priv;s [02:34] wtf is going on [02:34] all these convos do my head in at 2:34 am [02:34] does anyone know a way i could recover some files just deleted [02:34] KINGTEKRIN, Yep it does.. as i said earlyer.. if you want to resize a vista partition. its proberly best to boot to vista amd use vistas resizeing features to resize the vista partition. [02:35] This might be a little complex -- My default ubuntu install is golden, however, GDM screen resolution is wrong. I'm currently on a remote X Session (configured by GDM?) and would like to reset the resolution for the session [02:35] I set DNS in /etc/resolv.conf, but every time restart, It lost, how can I save it? [02:35] greedyb: I just rebooted and for some reason it's using flash 9 again. [02:35] Anyone use Zimbra here? [02:35] I do [02:35] theflamingpi_: I'm scared to reboot.. last time I did that some initramfs prompt came up and I could never get my ubuntu back [02:36] this says my minimum is 152625 and the max is 152626 [02:36] Ron_Paul_, my school uses it and I'm using it right now :) [02:37] hi, wondering why synaptic on my machine shows Firefox 3.0.1 as the latest available, while http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/firefox shows 3.0.3 as available. how can I get the latest version installed?

[02:37] theflamingpi_: nope [02:38] nevermind -- I got it ( I thik) [02:38] i just deleted a folder of some pictures and I really need to know if there is anyway of saving them [02:38] mikem: did you update? [02:39] jrib, hey, this is Craig, formally know as paul_colwell [02:39] Where would I go in nvidia-settings to manually set a new resolution? [02:39] tj__: did you right click -> move to trash or do something else? [02:39] mikem: sudo apt-get update will update the package cache [02:39] craigbass1976: hi [02:39] kitche: i pressed the "Reload" button in Synaptic, also I ran `sudo apt-get update` [02:39] yeah i put it in trash and emtied :( [02:39] jrib, when I run the do-upgrade I get a message about ssh switching ports. At that point, my connection borks [02:39] !recover | tj__ [02:39] tj__: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [02:40] craigbass1976: hrmm, yeah, didn't realize that [02:40] Where would I go to type in my screens resolution when I have nvidia settings? [02:40] jrib, and it actually killed my connection entirely; I totally got booted off my lan too [02:40] can anyone tell me how to open a .bundle file? [02:40] does anyone know how to get my fingerprint reader working on my asus m50? [02:40] craigbass1976: you could have run it in screen and then reconnected to it. It affected your local connection? that's weird [02:41] what if I sshed in and got an x session and did the gui anyway [02:41] Can someone answer my question? [02:41] craigbass1976: I guess that works, but won't you get booted if ssh restarts again? Could you still reconnect to the running upgrade? [02:42] postersandguitar, you couldjust manually edit your xorg.conf also. I doubt if anyoneknows your problem exact enough to answer you [02:42] kitche: hm, looks like my local mirror is way out of date. I told Synaptic to use "Main Servers" instead, and now there's tons of updates avaialble, including firefox.

I NEED AN ANSWER! SORRY TO USE CAPS BUT I WAS IGNORED [02:44] !patience | postersandguitar [02:44] postersandguitar: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [02:44] postersandguitar, i did answer.. and yelling tends to get you really ignored. [02:44] postersandguitar, You get an answer when someone comes along that knows it. [02:44] omg its getting loud in here [02:44] It would be nice if someone at least said that. [02:45] postersandguitar: what that someone anwsered you and you fully ignored them? [02:45] kitche: No one answered me, at least not this time. [02:45] postersandguitar, and you're lucky this is ubuntu room; in fedora, centos, and some of the other rooms, you'd have been ignored after the post BEFORE you used caps [02:47] craigbass1976: I think your only option if you really want to do this is to use screen and the server upgrade method. There's less that can go wrong that way. I don't know of ways to pass options to do-upgrade. What were you looking for exactly?

[02:48] yes [02:48] craigbass1976: screen just lets you run a command, log out of ssh, then come back, reattach screen, and still have the command active [02:49] can someone tell me if I need to have windows installed, or a windows CD to run VirtualBox? [02:49] !screen | craigbass1976 [02:49] craigbass1976: screen is a terminal multiplexer.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:51] perillux: thank microsoft or your manufacturer :) [02:51] bzaks, what do you want exactly?

It does work but it locks up when it plays quicktime videos [02:52] perillux: you're not going to install windows on anything without a windows disk. You could try wine to run some windows programs as others are suggesting. wine is not windows though [02:53] yoyoned: usser: marcustomized: it's ok though, it's no big deal. just an old game [02:53] perillux: X Server Display Configuration [02:53] perillux, then you're out of luck, check appdb.winehq.com to see if ppl managed to run that game somehow [02:53] jrib: thanks for all your help [02:53] anyone on this dst_get_mac issue?

[04:05] joshual, which she now has installed but she cant access it via localhost due to a config issue [04:05] installing ubuntu is rather hard isn't it? :) [04:05] i think she just needs to chown some files [04:05] <_adrenaline> I did a kernel upgrade and my wicd doesn't work anymore I traced it down to that missing file [04:05] _adrenaline: kernel upgrade wont delete files [04:05] pulpie: do you know how to install the drivers for the intel wifi 5100 easily on ubuntu 8.04? [04:05] way smoother then XP imo.. [04:05] i don't understand why he wants me to use ubuntu when his useing vista [04:05] <_adrenaline> Don't know what to tell you [04:05] ahh [04:05] !google > mcs117 [04:05] mcs117, please see my private message [04:05] <_adrenaline> It is gone and all I did was an upgrade [04:06] <_adrenaline> or sorry an update [04:06] this is taking to long [04:06] helo [04:06] how do i run multiple monitors ? [04:06] teratoma, ati or nvidia or intel? [04:06] csilk: intel? [04:06] csilk: intel [04:06] yeah intel grfx chips [04:06] believe it or not they are still popular [04:06] is there some magic gnome config that will do it ? [04:07] teratoma, answer my quesiton [04:07] i run a laptop with intel graphics config [04:07] ahh [04:07] csilk: i see [04:07] csilk: intel [04:07] csilk: Intel is the best video chipset for Linux, hands-down. [04:07] ok if it was ati i could get you going in seconds, sorry i havent used an intel chip snice the 90's [04:07] *since [04:07] iblicf [04:07] mneptok, not really [04:07] csilk: yes, really [04:07] i have never had an issue with ATI, it just works [04:07] No ideas how can I fix the color issue? [04:07] are there any instant messenger clients other than pidgin that support msn protocol [04:08] liza0: bitlbee [04:08] im sure there must be a good ubuntu starter guide available for new windows migrators that someone can recommend for Mari? [04:08] liza0, Empathy, Kopete [04:08] liza0: aMSN [04:08] thanks [04:08] brb [04:08] csilk: my ati x1650 returns a black screen on any debian based os once the 3d propritary drivers are installed [04:08] mneptok, for some obscure tech reason that may be true, but ultimatly my exerience of ATI has been nothing less than wonderful [04:08] csilk: black screen on boot up that is. [04:09] csilk: it's no obscure reason. it's the fact Intel has 100% open and free drivers. [04:09] this channel is toooo populated, there should be other channels... ubuntu1 for example... are there? [04:09] i need the best windows replacement... [04:09] that i can run in ubuntu [04:09] mneptok, i never knoew that, thats pretty good, either way, i've never had issues with ATI [04:10] has anyone else lost their nvidia workarounds with the new updates? [04:10] Pulpie, cool down.. ati and nvidia is both not really that good for linux due to no open sources [04:10] joshual, There is one, ubuntu+1 or ubuntu+l, but it is for beta bug reporting/help. There is an offtopic for offtopic discussions [04:10] anyone knows how to install wifi 5100? [04:10] i used google, but its missing some steps [04:10] GaMbi_DK: cool down? who is warmed up? and nvidia has open source drivers for linux [04:10] hmm I think I'll start a new forum topic about a new irc channel [04:10] GaMbi_DK:which gfx cards are good for linux and have open source drivers for them [04:10] Pulpie, yeah on my older 2400HD i got a black screen at boot but it only lasts for a few seconds until compiz kicks in [04:11] still having trouble configuring internet does anyone have any ideas? [04:11] Ok guys, has anyone had this problem before. I did an EnvyNG, and got the latest drivers, and now I get a form of GUI Corruptiuon, where parts of my screen don't refresh properly [04:11] csilk: ahh i dont have compiz when i tried [04:11] i am running a dell d630 laptop with the latest ubuntu. everything works! wifi and even cellular internet. sound and midi works too... [04:11] fresh.... I'm seeing (maybe) similar behavior with a nvidia [04:11] csilk: it stalls at the black screen [04:11] I want to build my own LHC with ubuntu, does any one know of a howto? [04:11] grafixbadnow, I have the nVidia as well. 173, are you using Envy as well? [04:12] Stargazer, sudo apt-get install poster [04:12] LHC? [04:12] envyNG for me.. nvidia 8500gt.. no problems so fare.. (due to Envy) [04:12] Randal1, Any specific problems? [04:12] the lhc doesn't work [04:12] mcs117, check this out http://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi it looks like 5100 will be supported by next version of ubuntu that sport 2.6.27 kernel [04:12] :) [04:12] http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1238/ [04:12] Pulpie, apparently the fglrx driver doesnt support the 1650 [04:12] although it does aupport the 1600 [04:13] *support [04:13] csilk: ahh [04:13] GaMbi_DK, Is your card supported by the 173 series? [04:13] HD2900, HD2600, HD2400, X1900, X1800, X1600, X1300, X850, [04:13] FreshUbuntuNoob, ay [04:13] Large Hadron Collider? [04:13] whyameye: geek points ++ [04:13] GaMbi_DK, Great, so this is a bug with my card. My card already has a stupid bug with the drivers in the repo. That is why did an Envy :( [04:14] can anyone walk me thru getting an nvidia geforce 8200 working in ubuntu? [04:14] Coded1: please do not add to the signal-to-noise ratio [04:15] mneptok: sry, j/k [04:15] jtisme, can you check your query? [04:15] (technically his comment lowered the s-to-n ratio) [04:15] Hi guys. I'm had just been starting out ubuntu. It is a little pain, but I guess I'm moving on to dumping xp as I discover more of ubuntu's power. :) I have a question however. [04:15] lol [04:15] shoot, agngal [04:15] abngal, Go ahead, if anyone here can help you. He/she will answer :) [04:16] Is it possible to focus a window when the program icon in avant window manager is mouseover-ed? [04:16] Damn does Ubuntu 8.10 crash alot for anyone? I have Kubuntu and it seems very unstable, so Im going to try Ubuntu now [04:16] grafixbadnow, unfortunatly your card isnt officially supported [04:16] After_Math-747: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid, please [04:16] mneptok, thanks [04:17] csilk... is this something that will change in the future? [04:17] grafixbadnow, pretty unlikely as it's an old card [04:17] I only know how to show window previews. But I guess it will be cool to show the real window upon mouseover on the taskbar [04:17] <_grepper> any objections or tips on upgrading a Gutsy headless server to Hardy Heron over SSH? [04:18] grafixbadnow, you 32 or 64 bit cpu? [04:18] FreshUbuntuNoob, I just heard a whole lot about using or not using the drivers given to you from the clean install.. but when I tryed to install nvidias own drivers it trashed my xorg.conf.. then I tryed EnvyNG.. worked first time! (had to ajust a fhew lines in xorg tho).. also I heard that it will auto update when new drivers arrives or a new kernel is up?!? [04:18] *architecture [04:18] csilk... i bought this computer ~2 months ago. I'm getting the version info from lscpi... is that necessarily accurate? [04:18] _grepper, yes. why are u upgrading? [04:18] hmm [04:18] silk... 32bit [04:18] <_grepper> that's a sandbox server I have on my local network [04:19] <_grepper> among other things, I'd like to have hp-install to add an HP C4200 printer [04:19] GaMbi_DK, Unfortunately, it didn't for me. Last night's Kernel upgrades broke nVidia. I had to recompile from tty using Envy [04:19] grafixbadnow, sorry i had it backwards, your card is rather new and isnt yet supported by the open nvidia drivers [04:19] I now like ubuntu a lot to the point that I think it will be cool for someone (or maybe me) to set up a business charging reasonable $ for installing+customizing ubuntu. :) [04:19] <_grepper> usser: it does DHCP for me and also serves a few minor "stage" websites [04:19] fresh!! kernel updates broke my nvidia too [04:19] FreshUbuntuNoob, so you didn't use Envy before the upgrade? [04:20] <_grepper> usser: and works as a Continuous Integration server also [04:20] GaMbi_DK, I did [04:20] csilk... that's slightly better news :) [04:20] grafixbadnow, i should think over the next few months there will be restricted drivers that WILL support your card [04:20] GaMbi_DK, It didn't recompile after Kernel updates [04:20] GaMbi_DK, It didn't automatically* recompile after Kernel updates [04:20] _grepper, i understand. But usually when server is setup and works you dont touch unless there's a really strong reason to [04:20] Or maybe I should move my window preview question to compiz-fuzion channel? Does anyone know their channel? [04:20] <_grepper> Well, I have been wanting to do that for a while now [04:21] <_grepper> And it works pretty damn well [04:21] grafixbadnow, are the dirvers installed by the hardware manager? [04:21] *drivers [04:21] csilk... it was working (sort of) before the kernel updates. I had downloaded the nvidia drivers and followed some crazy steps from a how-to guide a googled. i ended up adding a bunch of items to xorg.conf and tagging some things NOT to run [04:21] abngal, #compiz-fusion [04:21] **how-to guide I googled [04:21] ah rite, you've laready played with the xorg config [04:21] FreshUbuntuNoob, pain in the a**? course i'm kinda scared that that will happen to me!!! [04:21] <_grepper> usser: 00:20:59 up 206 days, 6:27, 2 users, load average: 0.93, 0.83, 0.44 [04:21] *already [04:21] GaMbi_DK, It is quite easy if you know a little bit of commandline [04:22] grafixbadnow, try gksudo displayconfig-gtk [04:22] <_grepper> usser: too late - download finished :) [04:22] dont blame me if anything blows up though [04:22] GaMbi_DK, Even if your Nvidia driver breaks, your xorg will actually start in low graphics mode [04:22] csilk... i'll try and report back [04:22] i've backed up everything, so no worries [04:22] _grepper, heh, well good luck the upgrade should be pretty smooth, make sure to back up [04:22] hello, i have a question: did there is a program a bit like checkdisk to check and fix error in ubuntu ? [04:22] has anyone used puppy linux 3 [04:23] <_grepper> usser: thanks [04:23] central, fsck [04:23] thanks [04:23] <_grepper> I have my fingers crossed [04:23] intrepid ibex beta 1: why does my caps lock key no longer function? [04:23] FreshUbuntuNoob, well I installed my GFX drivers with and without (shut down Xserver in ctrl+alt+F1) ben using ubuntu for little under two weeks now.. think I will have a problem? :O [04:23] central, yes [04:23] has anyone here use puppy linux 3 [04:23] * _grepper scares to death :) [04:24] central, fsck [04:24] <_grepper> I meant scared [04:24] although you shouldnt ever need ot do that [04:24] the fs will look after itself [04:24] hello [04:24] FreshUbuntuNoob, I fixed my Xorg.conf (manual backups etc) for twinview and such small projects [04:24] GaMbi_DK, Once my ubuntu started in low -graphics, I hti ctrl + alt + f1, did an sudo envyng -t (for text mode), selected to reinstall my drivers... And it did everything automatcailly. I only had to enter the option number [04:25] GaMbi_DK, And then a restart of PC was recommended by Envy, so I did it, and Volia :) [04:25] csilk... no luck. here's the meat of the error text: "msg from X server: no device detected" EE nvidia 0 failed to load the nvidia kernel [04:25] <_grepper> completely offtopic: is Formula1 popular on any of your countries? is there any channel for that subject? [04:26] fresh... what is envy? sounds like a different graphics config maybe?? [04:26] Hi again. Does anyone know how to focus a window after hovering on it in the taskbar? [04:26] grafixbadnow, Envy is the old version of EnvyNG. EnvyNG is supported from Hardy [04:27] grafixbadnow, post your xorg log [04:27] csilk... will do [04:27] aah sweet.. the exact same thing happent to me! the low graphic etc.. but I had to change my Xorg.conf in where it said "seiv" or something :S and change that to "nvidia" after i ran the EnvyNG :S [04:27] ok windows has movie maker which captures the video from my mini dv camcorder, but i don't want to boot into windows since i'm already here :) any utility suggestions for ubuntu? [04:27] hi.. does anyone here have any experience with hardware raids? i have a question about a weird dilemma i'm in [04:28] has anyone tried open office 3 [04:28] how do I upgrade to Open Office 3? [04:28] eross, kino or cinelerra probably [04:28] that long text was for you FreshUbuntuNoo :) [04:28] 2 days ago Update Manager offered a kernel update to 2.6.24-21. It asked if I would like to keep my old version of file /boot/grub/menu.lst. I acknowledged because I did not want to loose my framebuffer console. But now Grub does not offer me to boot the 2.6.24-21 kernel. What should I do? To insert by hand some 2.6.24-21 lines in /boot/grub/menu.list? [04:28] aaron_, openoffice.org has the packages for ubuntu [04:28] !webcam > eross [04:28] eross, please see my private message [04:29] do I have to un install my correct version [04:29] GaMbi_DK, Oh sorry :). I did play around with my xorg too. Have broken it quite a few times now :). But apart from the GUi corruption, nothing major after EnvyNG. I am quite satisfied using the propietery drivers [04:29] grafixbadnow, try modprobe nvidia [04:29] "They call me mellow yellow" [04:29] how show i uninstall ati drivers? [04:29] hola [04:29] Oric, with the hardware manager [04:30] bullgard4 sudo update-grub ? [04:30] i can't log in X window,8.10 doesn't work well with ati drivers [04:30] Agent_bob, My past experience says that won't work :( [04:30] csilk... here's my xorg.conf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Feco [04:30] FreshUbuntuNoob, looks like we are just about the same stage of ubuntu knowledge :P [04:31] GaMbi_DK, Same boat, same river, same sea? :) [04:31] Agent_bob: I do not know the command update-grub. Why did you add a question mark? [04:31] Oric, theres no version of ati drivers for 8.10 yet, go to ubuntu+1 for details [04:31] usser: ty [04:31] ^ [04:31] ty [04:31] ^^ [04:31] ok so i find 2 packages "e2fsck-static" and "showfsck" should install both ? [04:31] yep [04:31] grafixbadnow, try modprobe nvidia [04:32] csilk... result of modprobe is FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/volatile/nvidia.ko': No such file or directory [04:32] grafixbadnow, did the upgrade do antying to kernel headers or the kernel in general? [04:32] FreshUbuntuNoob you have a better suggestion ? [04:33] how do I read the contents of a text file in terminal [04:33] bungieQord: cat [04:33] bungieQord, less file.txt [04:33] bungieQord: cat [04:33] bungieQord less [04:34] I just did lspci -n |grep '14e4:43' to find out what wireless card I have, and I get no output [04:34] bungieQord: use nano or vi to edit [04:34] Agent_bob, Last time I restored my grub menu, it actually denied updating the list of kernels. I had to (1) Delete the list and let it regenerate by update-grub, (2) Add it manually [04:34] I'm doing this because I'm trying to reinstall my Broadcom wireless driver [04:34] It just stopped working today [04:34] Neo1211, do lspci and pastebin it [04:34] csilk.... i don't know what the upgrade did. i just followed the red arrow and downloaded (recent windows convert... i'm trained) [04:34] I would [04:34] But I don't have internet on the computer [04:34] Agent_bob, But I guess update-grub would be the first step :) [04:35] FreshUbuntuNoob sounds like you had a bug [04:35] I see nothing about broadcom [04:35] grafixbadnow, ok it looks like the update modified the kernel and the lib/module for your dirver is not compatible with the modifed kernel [04:35] you need newer libs === lipsinV1 is now known as lipsin [04:35] "newer libs" forgive my ignorance. what do I have to do? [04:35] grafixbadnow, you need to totally uninstall your nvidia driver, use synaptic and completely purge everything [04:36] anyone here play COD4 under wine, or some other way, on linux [04:36] ? [04:36] then do sudo apt-get update [04:36] any ideas?

[04:41] Neo1211, are there any ethernet controllers listed in lspci? [04:41] 't specifically need 64 bit, stick with 32 bit [04:41] csilk [04:41] break_free if it ok's for shutdown and restart. and that gets it working, then you need to reorder the startup process to run that script later in the boot order. if not... idk.

[04:43] my mplayer is frozen and kill does not work [04:43] what can I do [04:43] anyone use xen 3.3.0 (ubuntu x64 server) ? [04:44] <[TiZ]> Do "sudo fdisk -l" to list your partitions.

[04:45] CITguy08, not many programs utilize the benifits of 64bit so using 64bit usually just causes problems and doesnt reallt gain any performance [04:45] ty, kino looks nice.. trying cinelerra next [04:45] Neo1211, it may be broadcom but it might not say broadcom when you lspci it [04:45] hm [04:45] interesting [04:45] Either way, it's not working [04:45] install the driver?

[04:56] __grepper, I would never upgrade a full version like that, too many points of failure...

[05:07] __grepper: good luck [05:07] bzaks and if not password protected, you can even use tab completion there [05:07] keven: sudo apt-get install amsn [05:07] Neo1211: b43-fwcutter /path/to/wl_apsta.o [05:07] <__grepper> boot: _ [05:07] PRESS AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON UNTIL IT SHUTS OFF [05:07] bzaks, it's a fat32 drive that's being mounted as samba network folder [05:07] <__grepper> bzaks: what do I do? edit? [05:07] [TiZ] seriously, if you keep sending the same note, we're going to accuse you of being a bot [05:08] Neo1211: save yourself the hassle, and use hardy. The bcm43xx module supports your card. [05:08] <__grepper> bzaks: Thanks! [05:08] __grepper, there's no other choice in the menu? there should at least be safe mode [05:08] __grepper [esc] select the identifier in the boot list and hit [e] select the line and hit [e] edit the line as you would in a terminal and hit [enter] [b] to boot [05:08] bronzewalla84: interesting, and amarok just can't play it? has it added it to its database? [05:09] <[TiZ]> I'm not a bot. But I am severely annoyed. [05:09] !patience | [TiZ] [05:09] [TiZ]: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [05:09] __grepper yes at the grub prompt/list [05:09] dude just hold the power button [05:09] no, just tried launching it from nautilus [05:09] oooh [05:09] okay [05:09] <[TiZ]> And it's the same time I come in here too. [05:09] [i] [am] [annoyed] [beep] [05:09] bzaks, i'll try adding a cd to the database [05:09] kuthux: Where, for you, is this file? [05:09] Neo1211: that is not really on topic. if you want to do more than use the wifi card please visit the corresponding website. aircrack-ng site has that information. [05:10] <__grepper> bzaks: should I hit during the normal load or inside the Server live CD? [05:10] What [05:10] ? [05:10] as soon as grub loads [05:10] __grepper: It will start to count backwards from 8 [05:10] __grepper: take out the cd. [05:10] then hit escape [05:10] there should be a countdown [05:10] choose your kernel [05:10] Neo1211: you're not listenning about the bcm43xx module [05:10] __grepper normal grub [05:10] <[TiZ]> Each and every time, I come in here with a problem. I try to be patient and wait. I even help others while I wait! But no matter what, I am ignored, all the time! I'm sick of it! [05:10] listening* [05:10] <__grepper> duh [05:10] tritium: I am [05:10] <__grepper> got it [05:10] <__grepper> trying another kernel [05:10] tritium: It's not an option right now, though [05:10] I'm sorry [TiZ] no one has an answer, remember we're all just volunteers [05:11] <[TiZ]> I understand you're all volunteers and you don't HAVE to help me. But I've been in here like, 15 times with the same result each time. [05:11] whats the question TIZ [05:11] <__grepper> thanks a bunch guys [05:11] <[TiZ]> I'm trying to close up my customized liveCD so I can see how big it is before I go any further. But I can't do "sudo umount edit/dev". It tells me that the "device is busy." What do I do? [05:11] <__grepper> it seems to be booting [05:11] [TiZ]: likely, nobody in the channel has tried to make their own live cd like you're doing. [05:11] __grepper: don't get your hopes up [05:11] i've downloaded manually, a can send u via mail ( i don't remember where did i get it :D ) [05:11] lol [05:11] well.. tritium: Is there anyway, other than backing up my stuff to another hard drive/cd, to save all my files and just update the OS? [05:11] Neo1211: i've downloaded manually, a can send u via mail ( i don't remember where did i get it :D ) [05:11] Neo1211: the normal upgrade paths to new releases [05:12] neo1211: yeah, you can use USB! hahahahaha. [05:12] of cant umount because the disc is mounted with the OS running in RAM [05:12] I've got a similar problem, but I figured there's a delayed process running. Too lazy too figure it out [05:12] but Neo1211 how did u install b43-fwcutter ? [05:12] bzaks: Other than that too [05:12] <[TiZ]> I'm using the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization, and I mounted edit/dev with sudo mount --bind /dev/ edit/dev [05:12] what's the most compatible format I can export my mini-dv at highest quality using kino? I have 4Gb disks and the tapes are standard minidvs [05:12] kuthux: apt-get [05:12] kuthux: that's not the optimal path for him to follow [05:12] in order to view the size on your hard drive choose install [05:12] [TiZ] find what is still in the mounted fs and close it [05:12] neo1211: So you want to save all your files? but not to an HD, cd, or USB, what about NFS? [05:12] [TiZ]: Check this out; http://wubi-installer.org/ [05:12] tritium, here's where i stand.. if I'm going to upgrade, its going to have to be quick [05:12] [TiZ] a terminal or anything will hold a mount [05:12] I have school in.. about 6 hours [05:13] [TiZ] a terminal or anything will hold a mount, mounted i should say. [05:13] TiZ: http://wubi-installer.org/ [05:13] screw iso === node537 is now known as node357 [05:13] Neo1211: i did apt-get too and it automatically downloads the wl_apsta.o and other things, and then extracts it. and it's done [05:13] <[TiZ]> Agent_bob: Okay. I'll close out my nautilus, gedit, and gnome-terminals. [05:13] * __grepper thanks everybody [05:13] I did locate wl_apsta.o, kuthux, and got nothing. [05:14] ChunkStyle: not particularly useful advice [05:14] <[TiZ]> ChunkStyle: Wubi makes a good starting point. But I'd rather not piggyback a loopmounted installation on a NTFS partition. [05:14] Neo1211: sudo b43-fwcutter wl_apsta.o [05:14] <[TiZ]> Not for my entire linux career, even. [05:14] Cannot open input file wl_apsta.o [05:15] <__grepper> tritium: thanks man [05:15] <__grepper> so far so good [05:15] is 8.10 beta out or [05:15] <[TiZ]> Tsk... still busy. How can I find out what's using it? [05:15] 14 more days? [05:15] I have never seen a room make Linux so difficult...lol [05:15] anyone got a fix for: files that I put on my desktop (extended to the left course thats where my TV is) appears as fare left as it can.. normal I guess.. but cant I change this? to force new items to be place on primary screen? [05:15] That reminds me. Is uh.. there anyway to mount a usb drive during startup to install a distro off? [05:15] [TiZ] if it's any consolation, i put linux on a bootable flash stick but i don't recall ever using it sense then. [05:16] __grepper: good! [05:16] you have to boot from USB [05:16] [TiZ] fuser [05:16] Ah. So I just need a decent bios then? [05:16] bravo7: beta is out. 14 more days until stable release [05:16] <[TiZ]> Agent_bob: I'm just trying to make it so that I won't have to install all my apps whenever I reinstall. And for the learning experience. [05:16] any ideas as to why certain screenlets will not load after I re-login. I have the auto start on login selected. [05:16] [TiZ] yeah that last part was why i did. [05:17] Because I'm going to be installing either ubuntu or ubuntu-eee on a laptop with xandros and I'm unsure if my usbstick has enough space for eitehr. [05:17] Hi everyone. Is there any way to focus windows in ubuntu when I am hovering over its app icon on the avant window manager or even just on a simple ubuntu taskbar? [05:17] <[TiZ]> Not to mention preserving the fix for Quod Libet's file system browser for all eternity. [05:17] [TiZ] anyway fuser can find what is holding it open. and as i recall some times one may need to "losetup" the loop device to get a clean dismount of loopfs [05:18] you need at least a 4gb flash drive [05:18] Is there a modified usplash-artwork-ubuntu.so file that works correctly with 1280x800? [05:18] aceumus i used a 2g [05:18] google: how to run ubuntu from flash drive [05:18] <[TiZ]> Oh, holy--!!! This is an exaggeration, but the number of processes using /live/edit/dev... is OVER 900!!! [05:18] I did ifconfig -a and discovered that eth0 was already there, then I forced the configuration of eth0 and manually set the IP to the correct one, and it can resolve things but after it resolves the IP address it says network unreachable [05:18] ... ah. I was afraid of that. Thanks for telling me that. [05:18] <[TiZ]> Er, 9000!!! [05:18] top response is pen drive linux [05:18] howtos [05:18] Over 9000?! [05:18] aceumus: 1 GB should suffice [05:18] * Tokorona only has a 1gig drive. [05:19] [TiZ] ummm i'd say it is busy then... [05:19] Tokorona: CDs are only 700MB. A 1 GB USB stick is enough. [05:19] <[TiZ]> I used the following command to mount it: "sudo mount --bind /dev/ edit/dev" [05:19] <[TiZ]> Maybe I should like... unbind, or something? [05:19] Tails51 -a lists all network devices with out -a it will only list the configured "up" ones. [05:19] hi, how to use bearshare application on ubuntu. i install the bearshare application with wine and the installation process is fine, but when i open bearshare, it will close automatically.. why? [05:19] Is there a modified usplash-artwork-ubuntu.so file that works correctly with 1280x800? [05:20] Yes, but I did ifup -a to make it load, then ifconfig -a loaded it [05:20] [TiZ] sync and go for it. [05:20] Then I used ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 [05:20] To assign the IP [05:20] Hm, well, I should go find a readme so I can work on booting it. [05:20] Thanks! [05:20] But it could only resolve, and not actually reach the IPs [05:20] Tails51 ifconfig -a doesn't load anything it only lists the recognized devices [05:20] <[TiZ]> Uhm... I don't actually know what you're talking about. BRB. [05:21] I just said that I did ifup-a [05:21] Is there a modified usplash-theme-ubuntu.so file that works correctly with 1280x800? [05:21] Then it did show up in ifconfig -a [05:21] why it asks me for a password when I try to access a windows NTFS drive although I 've just installed windows [05:22] anyone? [05:22] Sup. I just opened a livecd instance of Xubuntu. I'm on a 1.6 single core processor and 768 of RAM. Anyone see any problems? [05:22] khalood: Samba, right? [05:22] Tokorona: sorry ? [05:22] Tails51 ok you can change the routing table too. in case you have a wrong default gateway set. sudo route add default gw [05:22] When you tried to access the NTFS drive, was it via Samba, or normal? [05:22] Is it possible to set "do not allow icons" on my 2nd desktop (my TV)? [05:23] Tokorona: no , normal [05:23] Tokorona: via the file explorer [05:23] Some_Person: i *think* that the usplash pictures come in 4/3 resolutions, so even if you make one yourself, it will look distorted [05:23] Some_Person: mine looks bad in 5/4 aspect ratio too [05:23] Khalood: Oh. Okay, I can't help much there. Sorry. [05:23] jim_p: I attempted to make a stretched image that usplash could unstretch, but after working for hours with no results I gave up [05:23] Tokorona: nv :) [05:24] <[TiZ]> I have to go now. [05:24] <[TiZ]> Good night, guys. [05:24] Some_Person: you mean put a 1280*800 there and make your own? [05:24] Thanks. Signing off. [05:24] [TiZ] gooday [05:24] jim_p: I tried to [05:24] jim_p: but I couldn't get the darn thing to work [05:25] bzaks, i guess i can't figure out how to add a network folder to amarok's collection [05:25] I recently added a new RAID1 device to an existing system, but I can't boot because my initrd doesn't know about the new device (and thus doesn't initialize it properly, or whatever; ls /dev/md* doesn't show the device, is what I'm getting at). How can I rebuild my initrd to recognize all RAID1 devices I have set up? [05:25] jim_p: Doesn't help that I have absolutely no C experience === The_JoKeR is now known as SplinTer0616_ [05:25] bronzewalla84: the glory about nfs mounts is that they should be transparent to the applications [05:25] bronzewalla84they should just look like part of the standard filesystem [05:26] Some_Person: i think i had seen somewhere that a guy put a more than 1024*768 image, but it was 4/3 too. i dont have c experience either [05:26] Some_Person just a thought. but what about making a "skinny" splash that would look right if streached out to the lappy screen ? [05:26] If someone knows more about C and/or usplash, I could easily send my image that *should* display correctly at 1280x800 [05:26] Agent_bob: That's what I tried [05:27] Some_Person you made it 640x480 ? [05:27] tritium: Upgrading to hardy [05:27] Agent_bob: Should it be that resolution? [05:27] Agent_bob: The one I tried was 1280x960 [05:27] anyone know why with 8.04 that i have trouble watching youtube videos? [05:27] Neo1211: what changed your mind? [05:27] bzaks, i don't see it anywhere in the folder lise [05:27] No one know how to generate a new initrd, especially in the context of RAID1 devices? [05:28] Neo1211: another option is to wait 2 weeks, and upgrade to Intrepid. [05:28] 2 days ago Update Manager offered a kernel update to 2.6.24-21. It asked if I would like to keep my old version of file /boot/grub/menu.lst. I acknowledged because I did not want to loose my framebuffer console. But now Grub does not offer me to boot the 2.6.24-21 kernel. What should I do? To insert by hand some 2.6.24-21 lines in /boot/grub/menu.list? [05:28] trimeta: sudo update-initramfs -u ? [05:28] where is this nfs mount mounted? [05:28] tritium: I found an easy, quick way to install it lol. Usually I burn the ISO and stuff.. I'm just doing it through the upgrade manager [05:28] Some_Person: I'll try it. [05:28] i just compiled mplayer [05:28] it's not mounted to any specific directory, all i did was go to Network in nautilus and it was right there [05:28] Neo1211: ok, you have to go feisty -> gutsy -> hardy, you know [05:28] but there is no skin or bar or whats it called [05:28] what option do i need to get it? [05:29] ? [05:29] I clicked the thing to upgrade to Hardy, tritium [05:29] bullgard4: why not? [05:29] bronzewalla84: hang on, you need to look up mtab so you can see where its mounted, and so do I so I can see where to tell you where to look [05:29] Wait, what version is Gutsy [05:29] !upgrade | Neo1211 [05:29] bullgard4: what options do you now have in grub? [05:29] Neo1211: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [05:29] bzaks, i didn't even think of that, i'll check [05:29] Neo1211: 7.10 [05:29] anyone? [05:29] Oh. [05:29] Then I had Gutsy. <_<. [05:29] do i need to install gmplayer now? [05:30] Neo1211: ah, ok [05:30] Some_Person i'm talking about. taking a picture that is viewed correctly at 1280x960 and resizing (skewing) it to 640x480x8 < that should in theory work on any standard display but the actual shape would be right for a short-screen (aka wide screen) [05:30] i am running hardy, youtube videos keep locking up firefox. any ideas why? [05:30] I guess I'll just have to try again with usplash tomorrow [05:31] Jakob_the_liar: too bad you compiled mplayer yourself. mplayer is in the repos [05:31] Agent_bob: I understand [05:31] jim_p: To answer your 1st question: "Earlier" Ubuntu's Update Manager was intelligent enough to upgrade also menu.lst. Why has it lost this intelligence? [05:31] Been thinking about it, putting an excellent multi-user system into the hands of average single-user seems kind of driving a lambroughini around town for mundane errands? [05:31] bronzewalla84: do a vi (or nano or pico) on /etc/mtab [05:31] it's worth a shot. [05:31] tritium: To confirm, I shouldn't lose any files, correct? [05:31] Neo1211: corect [05:31] correct, even [05:31] alright. [05:31] yea well it wasnt working with my window manager jim_p [05:31] and i was told compiling is better [05:31] Jakob_the_liar: what wm? [05:31] Agent_bob: What I tried to do was add a new screen res to the usplash theme, with an image that looks good at 1280x800 stretched to 1280x960 [05:31] awesome [05:32] Neo1211 but if in doubt. no substitute for backups [05:32] jim_p: To answer your 2nd question: "options" is an ambiguous word having many meanings. What 'options' do you mean? [05:32] bzaks, here's my mtab http://pastebin.com/d6463aa1e [05:32] Some_Person right. but i'm not sure you can. the kernel is the limitation. [05:32] smb://main/1_2tb/ <-- i have this mounted how do i set the permissions so i can write and read to directories and files? [05:32] Has someone already done what I'm trying to do, or do I just have to do it myself? [05:32] Agent_bob: True [05:33] Agent_bob: I suppose I can try modifying the original 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 images [05:33] bullgard4: how manu grub entries do you have there? grub will make a new entry of a new kernel is installed(eg 2.6.24 to 2.6.25) or if the installation script tell it to make a new entry (in cases of 2.6.24-x to 2.6.24-y) [05:33] Some_Person: For reference, when update-initramfs makes a new initramfs, what is it basing this off of? The current system state? Basically, I want to know if it will recognize the various modules and things I have currently loaded to handle RAID1s, and in particular all of the RAID1s currently on my system. [05:33] Some_Person right. [05:33] anyone dealt with viewing youtube problems? [05:34] eross, as long as the TCO is as good or better, I'll take the lambroughini any day [05:34] Jakob_the_liar: there is also mplayer in the medinubtu repo. have you tried this? [05:34] bronzewalla84: my spider senses tell me you need to look in the fuse folders... either /home/alex/.gvfs or in /sys/fs/fuse/connections [05:34] ferretonthelus many have. [05:35] ferretonthelus: i noticed some frame skipping in 1-2 videos lately. as if they were recorded from a cell phone [05:35] !flash > ferretonthelus [05:35] ferretonthelus, please see my private message [05:35] ah, an answer....8-) [05:35] does anyone know of a file manager that uses two trees? [05:36] lint konqueror can [05:36] for gnome i mean [05:36] lint ah yes. gentoo [05:36] bzaks, .gvfs does'nt exit, and sys/fs is empty [05:36] lint: 2 trees on the left side, regardless of tabs? [05:36] j #ubuntu-mobile [05:36] jim_p yes [05:36] !flash kuthux [05:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about flash kuthux [05:36] !flash |kuthux [05:36] kuthux, please see my private message [05:36] bronzewalla84: are those entries straight out of mtab? I didn't copy and paste === shocm_ is now known as shocm [05:37] jim_p: You did not answer the question which I have put. Instead you put questions to me. My present version of /boot/grub/menu.lst has 2 kernel entries to choose from. [05:37] does anyone know what would be messing up if I can't partition my compact flash card with fdisk? [05:37] bzaks, yes the same [05:38] lint: no sorry. i cant think of some file manager now [05:38] interesting... [05:38] jim_p: How should I crop it? Should I just cut off equal number of pixels from top and bottom, or should I leave the same black space at the top? [05:38] does anyone know when intrepid ibis is due for realease? [05:38] October 30th. [05:38] ok thank you [05:38] lint end of the month [05:38] I think the command's.. [05:39] !intrepid [05:39] 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 [05:39] Some_Person: update-initramfs apparently isn't getting all of my RAID1 devices into the initrd... [05:39] bullgard4: 2 entries like 2.6.24-20... and 2.6.24-20...recovery mode? then the 2.6.24-21 is not even installed! [05:39] friends... what is a download accelerator in ubuntu? [05:39] Some_Person: even space from top end bottom [05:39] jim_p: Ok [05:39] jim_p and bullgard4 for a list of installed kernel versions see ls /lib/modules [05:39] unitedp0tsmokers: gwget, kget, d4x etc [05:40] thanks jim_p [05:40] bzaks: do you know the syntax of the command to mount a samba share? [05:41] jim_p, Agent_bob: ' ls /lib/modules' returns three entries including "2.6.24-21-generic" [05:41] Some_Person: i use startup-manager to change usplash via gui. i edited one of my usplash theme via it's xml files [05:41] http://img61.imageshack.us/my.php?image=emko3.jpg [05:42] bronzewalla84: sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.3/Share /home//share -o iocharset=utf8,username=,uid=,password=,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 [05:42] I'm writing a little script to automate backups. If I use $sudo cp /source /source, the second being on my external drive. What will happen to the files on the external drive? [05:43] bustaplz over writen [05:43] bustaplz - don't forget to copy permissions too, unless you're the only user [05:43] bustaplz might want -a [05:43] http://img66.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tdwv5.jpg [05:43] bronzewalla84: smbmount /// -o username= [05:43] eross: what do you mean by copy permissions? [05:44] bustaplz might want -a [05:44] Agent_bob: Will it completely replace all files in the dir? [05:44] kuthux: my implementation should be distro independent [05:44] Hey guys, Ubuntu n00b here. I'm going to install Ubuntu to dual-boot with Windows and test it out. I noticed 8.10 is coming out in two weeks. Would it be easy to upgrade 8.04 to 8.10, or should I just wait two weeks to install? I don't mind waiting if it's a PITA to upgrade. [05:44] bustaplz man cp look at -a [05:44] nevermind, you prob dont need to worry about them [05:44] Agent_bob: it just says archive. [05:45] Robert__ us virtual box in windows to play with 8.04, and learn the ropes, then use 8.10 for the full deal [05:45] use* [05:45] bronzewalla84: that's after smbfs installed. and i think it's universal. cmiiw [05:46] Robert___: Just install 8.04. Wait before you upgrade to 8.10 until begin of 2009. This will give you the least headaches. [05:46] bustaplz cp -a source1 source2 any files in source1 and source2 will be overwriten in source2 by the ones in source1 any not in source2 will be added, and any not in source1 will be ignored. [05:46] bullgard4: Why? === schmick_ is now known as schmick [05:47] robert__ because you're a n00b [05:47] So would that be the most efficient way of doing it? I'm going to be copying a minimum of 10gb dir and if I'm rewriting each file in overwrite it would take a long time I think? [05:47] bustaplz it doesn't just say archive. it says same as -dpR [05:47] you want it to work, not have to deal with possible bugs [05:47] bustaplz then no [05:47] Robert___: You are too lazy to explain why you have reservations and expect me to give you a complete lesson. -- No, I will not. [05:47] bustaplz you don't want cp for that. you want rsync [05:47] lint: are you still there? something like this http://roland65.free.fr/xfe/images/screenshot-s5.png ? this is xfe [05:48] Agent_bob: Ahh, sync is more the word I'm looking for probably. [05:48] bustaplz use the right tool for the job and we all live longer happier lives :) [05:48] bullgard4: My reservations are a difficult upgrade process. I don't see why waiting until 2009 would make a difference. [05:48] it tells me the connection is being refused [05:48] Agent_bob: just did man on rsync sounds like EXACTLY what I wanted! [05:49] jim_p, yeah that is what i am looking for, does it work in gnome [05:49] bustaplz: use rsync [05:49] Agent_bob: And I can use it similarly to cp? [05:49] bustaplz and not "sync" 'rsync' sync is a command to but it just syncornizes the disks with the disk cache [05:49] bustaplz: oh, sorry, i see someone already mentioned it. [05:49] lint: yes. you can also look at pcmanfm [05:49] Robert___: Because experience from the past tells that every new Ubuntu version is full of errors. These errors will be eliminated in 2 months after launch time. [05:50] bronzewalla: which implementation? [05:50] bustaplz yes rsync is what you want there. with the correct switches of course. [05:50] lint: i *still* cant find that 2 panel file manager i used once [05:50] bullgard4: Ok, so stick with 8.04 because it's stable. When 8.10 stabilizes, would it be easy to upgrade from within Ubuntu or would I have to install over? That's the crux of my question. [05:50] Agent_bob: So for a directory full of directories I would need $rsync -r /source /destination? [05:51] * Agent_bob types attrociusly [05:51] and spells worse [05:51] lint: kde aps do work under gnome but they need loads of libraries [05:51] there's examples in the rsync man page [05:51] bustaplz: I use this http://paste.ubuntu.com/58666/ === KDE4000 is now known as KDE4000|exiting === KDE4000|exiting is now known as KDE4000 [05:51] can someone help me find out why i can not use suspend or hibernate in ubuntu 8.04 on my notebook wich is a hp pavilion zv5405us [05:51] and irc's as root now [05:52] lint: http://www.nongnu.org/gcmd/ss/shot_1.2.4.png gnome-commander [05:52] Mr_Cool59: check your bios settings, sometimes it disallows sleep and hibernate [05:52] Robert___: For an experienced Ubuntu user it is less work to upgrade. For an Ubuntu beginner it may be less work to install over. Depends on the amount of operating system knowledge. [05:52] works fine in windows [05:52] bustaplz: rsync -a [05:52] sudo mount -t cifs //WALLA/Media /media/network_share -o iocharset=utf8,username=,uid=,password=,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 gives me alex: no such file or directory [05:52] is there anyone here who has the solution of suspend/hibernate problems on hp tx1000 notebooks? [05:53] going to go try it out [05:53] bronzewalla84: take out the < and the >, those were place holders [05:53] and the second tells me the connection is refused, after it prompts for password [05:53] bullgard4: I would call myself an advanced computer user but I have not used Ubuntu desktop before. I run a LAMP server, so I'm familiar with package management, I know what bash is, etc. [05:53] ok, wasn't sure about that [05:53] carpediem can -a and -H be combined in rsync ? [05:54] Robert___: So probably it will be less work to upgrade. [05:54] bullgard4: Ok, thanks for your help. [05:54] Is anybody here aware of a problem where VM Ware (and maybe even other apps) tend to simply kill the SHIFT key from working in Ubuntu? [05:54] bustaplz: the script I'm using is doing an incremental backup and once a week a full backup overwrites each file after a week except for the full backup [05:54] I run VM Ware and after it, I can't shift my letters or anything, for that matter! [05:54] It is driving me nuts! [05:54] when I move my windows around they glitch allot even tho effects are disabled.. any ideas ? I got nvidia 8500GT with nvidias drivers installed [05:54] I have to restart everytime this happens [05:55] Mounting cifs URL not implemented yet. Attempt to mount walla/media [05:55] No ip address specified and hostname not found [05:55] oops, sorry about that [05:55] how to disable beep in single mode [05:55] loquitus_of_borg: the shift key is the key that gets control back to the host os when pressed? [05:55] bronzewalla84: use the IP not the host name [05:56] bronzewalla84: specify the hostname [05:56] jim_p: no... ctrl-alt does that [05:56] same thing [05:56] wartalker mdoprobe -r pcspeaker ? [05:56] hostname? [05:56] do any of you guys play 3d games in ubuntu ? [05:56] jim_p: and it does not matter... if I close vmware it is still acting stupid [05:56] bronzewalla84: u can use hostname if it's included in /etc/hosts [05:56] wartalker modprobe that was [05:56] I don't suppose that automagic creation of initrd's which work with RAID1 root partitions is better in Hardy than it is in Gutsy...the LiveCD I'm using is Gutsy, and that could be causing me problems... [05:56] liza0: i do. [05:56] liza0: yep. quake4, wolf 3d. america's army. doom3 [05:57] liza0: they all work [05:57] what's the hostname? big newb question [05:57] i do [05:57] wartalker or alsamixer and mute the pc speaker [05:57] nice [05:57] bronzewalla84: use ip address [05:57] loquitus_of_borg: then sorry, i dont know anything else :( [05:57] bronzewalla84: instead of //WALLA/Media do //192.x.x.x (or whatever it is)/Media [05:57] liza0: I even play half life 2 in linux [05:57] lint: I FOUND IT. emelfm [05:57] i tried that and it gave the same error as previous [05:57] anyone know off hand if -a and -H can be combined in rsync ? [05:57] now that we talk about games [05:57] liza0: believe me. half life 2 is not obvious [05:57] interesting. Can you pastebin commandline and output? [05:58] ok [05:58] Okay I tried it with -a, got a lot of permission errors but it worked. So I set the source dir to a+rwx and did it again with -r option after changing a file name. It added the renamed file and kept the old file with the old name. What option did I miss? [05:58] has anyone managed to install steam in wine?! [05:58] i'm having a lot of trouble getting wireless to connect. my network is using a 128-bit ascii key, and i've triple-checked all the ssid/passkey/b-g compatibility and everything, but the network manager keeps trying to authenticate [05:58] jim_p: me [05:58] bronzewalla84: why don't u use smbmount or somthing [05:58] how can i further debug/look into the issue? [05:58] tophyr: stop network manager (piece of !@#$ app) === co_anjink is now known as ce_cute [05:58] why it asks me for a password when I try to access windows NTFS drives? [05:59] jim_p: I play half life 2 all the time in ubuntu... I even manage my half life server with it [05:59] hi all, can anyone point me to where to find help for playing DVD's in ubuntu? [05:59] jim_p: kk. i'm familiar enough with ethernet connections, but how should i control the wireless? [05:59] loquitus_of_borg: how? i managed to install it, but it wont let me install cs 1.6 which i have bought [05:59] bustaplz: did you see my script? [05:59] jim_p: as in half life 1 or half life 2? [05:59] gonna make a reboot brb [05:59] khalood only root can mount [05:59] jim_p: I am not sure which half life engine 1.6 would be [05:59] loquitus_of_borg: hl1 [05:59] Agent_bob: mount ? [06:00] http://pastebin.com/m23ba652d [06:00] i'll try the smbmount [06:00] yes but I'm trying to integrate this into a script of my own, if I could use just rsync this would be a sweet little script and fit my need perfectly [06:00] jim_p: I actually have not tried hl1 yet... ironically enough. [06:00] jim_p: but hl2 runs like a bloody charm [06:00] khalood yes the normal way to access file systems in linux is to mount them. [06:00] jim_p, thank you [06:00] Agent_bob: i think i'm root because i have installed it [06:00] note it's not the only way. [06:01] tophyr: cant you use the gnome network applet for this job? i am not on wireless, i dont know [06:01] lint you are welcome [06:01] is there a tool to do distributed network installs of ubuntu [06:01] im using kickstart and cfengine for redhat and was thinking about switching [06:01] kuthux: here's the command line for smbmount http://pastebin.com/mf65af00 [06:01] !install > lindenle [06:02] lindenle, please see my private message [06:02] lindenle i think that has a way [06:02] hello [06:02] loquitus_of_borg: can i pm you my cs problem?

[06:04] Iradieh: Mac Mini as in MacOS or are you running Ubuntu? [06:04] tophyr: unfornunately its counterstrike, fo which i have paid 15 euros for a cdkey to play online, and i cant!

[06:06] is x264-bin obsolete ? [06:06] bronzewalla84: I'm not entirely sure what's wrong... its verbatim the command I used to connect to my samba server in the basment. are you sure you have all the smbfs and samba client plug ins installed? [06:06] does mencoder include it built in ?? [06:06] newlife but i'm kinda partial to xcdroast too [06:06] jim_p: running gnome desktop - had to many problems trying to force kde apps to run correctly in gnome.... other suggestion for gnome ? ? [06:06] i just installed smbfs [06:06] I insert my MicroSD card and dmesg says: [06:06] [ 855.408818] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk [06:06] [ 855.409484] sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 [06:06] no plugins [06:07] Iradieh: i think it's about as specific as your question [06:07] It is already formatted as FAT32, but there is nothing on it.. How do I mount it? [06:07] mount /dev/sg2 ? [06:07] what plugins should i get? [06:07] jim_p: Brasero? [06:07] help, recent convert from windows.........gxine and mplayer both won;t run right [06:08] newlife: brasero is not that good. you want to copy from one disk to the other or make your cds to mp3s or whatever? [06:08] subdolus sudo mount /dev/sdg2 /media/something -o dmask=000,fmask=111 [06:08] bronzewalla84: did you try the commands again after installing smbfs? [06:08] Agent_bob: xcdroast run well in gnome desktop ? ? [06:08] newlife yessir [06:08] i meant i just have smbfs installed and nothing else, i've had it installed the entire time [06:09] jim_P: So is there more suitable apt I could install that will play well with gnome ? ? [06:09] newlife what exactly do you want to do? pm me if you think its inapropriate for the chanel :P [06:10] Agent_bob: Might give that a whirl . . . Thanks [06:10] what the command to turn permiscious mode off? [06:10] bronzewalla84: install samba-client [06:10] Agent_bob: have you tried xfburn? [06:10] mrpockets: just tell the girl if she keeps it up, get out of the house. [06:10] jim_P: sorry - will move on thanks [06:10] jim_p don't recall it. i have tried several tho [06:10] hahahaha [06:11] k [06:11] ima go kick her ho-ass out right now. [06:11] thanks for the help! [06:11] newlife: its ok. i just couldnt figure out what you want to do [06:11] mrpockets: that's hysterical!` [06:11] bzaks: it selected smbclient instead and i do have that installed too [06:11] how do i edit a DVD menu in ubuntu is there any sofware that supports this? [06:12] kernando: most dvd's are read-only [06:12] kernando: nero might do that if you are mastering one [06:13] Agent_bob: Doesn [06:13] mrpockets: no really, what are you talking about? [06:13] Agent_bob: Doesn't work: [06:13] root@subby-eee:~# mount /dev/sdg2 /media/ds -o dmask=000,fmask=111 [06:13] mount: special device /dev/sdg2 does not exist [06:13] kernando: mandvd or devede [06:13] jim_P: didn't mean to sound personal - just asking advice - just installed xcdroast and will give that a try - thanks for your suggestions [06:13] subdolus why? is it lazy? [06:14] subdolus so select the correct device node. i was playing off of your information. [06:14] Agent_bob: maybe it should be /dev/sg2 instead of /dev/sdg2 ? [06:14] subdolus if you can mount sg2 you are miles ahead of me. [06:14] will it break thingss if I try it? [06:15] subdolus you can maybe find the device node with command sudo fdisk -l [06:15] jim_P: thanks - np [06:15] subdolus i doubt it will break anything. but i also doubt it will mount. [06:15] fdisk doesnt show it [06:16] newlife: you are welcome [06:16] hey uhyrrm, whats the command in ubuntu to shutdown/restart pc? [06:16] tyberion_: shutdown -r now [06:16] subdolus what or should i say where is this file system you want to mount ? [06:16] tyberion_: sudo shutdown -h 0 [06:16] -h == halt [06:16] you'll have to run it as root, so prepend sudo if you're not already [06:16] -r == restart [06:16] Agent_bob: it is an SD card... MicroSD [06:16] or, what bzaks said :) [06:16] mount: /dev/sg2 is not a block device [06:16] -r reboot,-h turn off?? whats the 0 doing? [06:16] :< [06:16] thanx [06:17] 0 is "0 minutes from now" [06:17] same as "now" [06:17] ahw, ok...good for turning off after a movie or sumthing:) [06:18] subdolus: why don't you do this: ls /dev/ | grep -E "sd[a-g][0-9]" [06:18] you can see all your HDs that way [06:18] in dev [06:18] tyberion_: "shutdown --help" to find out more about the command [06:18] O M G.. PLZ help!! what happens when i push "delete on keyboard" when my music folder is selected instead of an empty folder and i just push enter?.. it is NOT in my trash can.. the folder was on my NTFS (normaly used in windows) drive.. plz plz PLZ advice! [06:18] subdolus ummm i'm not that familear with sd cards. should be seen as an scsi device though. try this for q in g f e d c b a ;do file -s /dev/sd$q && return 0 ;done 2>/dev/null [06:19] GaMbi_DK: reboot to windows and use FreeUndelete to recover it [06:19] bzaks: why not just "ls /dev/sd*" :) [06:19] yeah bzaks, I'm with tophyr [06:19] i want to install ruby-full on ubuntu. it is about to install emacs as well. can i tell aptitude not to do it? [06:19] and it still only shows my internal and extern hdd's [06:20] tophyr: because ... um... ...... ..... I like regular expressions? [06:20] hahaha [06:20] Installed X-CD-Roast and when run 1st time get error " No root configuration file found or not readable! The superuser must start and configure X-CD-Roast first, before other users can use it. " quote - Someone explain what to do to make this work ? ? [06:21] subdolus then you may need a module inserted, again you are playing just over the fence from me. i'm not versed on sd cards. [06:21] I don't even know what an SD card is... unless you're talking about the little things you can just use as flash drives.. then they should be no different than some sorta usb device [06:22] sata isnt it? :S [06:22] anyways.. what do I do guys [06:22] bzaks yes that's what i'm thinking. should show as /dev/sd? but he's not seeing it. maybe remove and insert the card then run dmesg | tail -10 [06:23] Gambi_DK: I told you: reboot to windows and use FreeUndelete [06:23] "ls /dev/sd*" lists my devs? so what? :) [06:23] heyy [06:23] Agent_bob, I'm pretty sure that Sd cards, like the little memory cards won't be listed as an SD device. [06:23] hmm.. just sounded like there was some easier way? [06:23] Agent_bob: i'm jumping in right in the middle, but an SD card will probably *not* show up as an sd* device, from my understanding [06:23] my name is steven [06:23] sda, sdb etc are SCSI devices [06:23] Those are reserved for Sata and ide [06:23] yeah [06:23] bzaks no ? [06:23] what tophyr said [06:24] linux [06:24] Scsi Drive is what SD stands for [06:24] steven__ yes, linux [06:24] the SD in an SD Card is "Secure Digital" [06:24] someone previously mentioned it will probably be listed as a usb device of some sort [06:24] * tophyr connects his usb drive to see what sorta device they are [06:25] EVERYONE! YOU MUST SEE THIS! A HEAVY METAL BEE GEES COVER BAND! (Sorry, I don't mean to spam) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhgjEObtrWE [06:25] hmm, well, i'm wrong [06:25] my flash drive is /dev/sdb1 [06:25] subdolus you reading all this. see tophyr and bzaks [06:26] what folders should appear at ~/.wine/dosdevices? I am looking for D, to be able to install age of empires III, following some instructions but it doesnt exist [06:26] Well, I thought S in SD* meant Serial [06:26] cause sd cards are out of my reach atm. [06:26] ive always heard it to be Secure Digital [06:26] it can mount any other SD card [06:26] just not this one, with microSD card inside the normal sized one [06:26] ok.. logging windows.. ... :( brb :( [06:26] but the microSD card works on windows [06:26] bzaks: you're probably right on that one as well, my laptop has /dev/sda1 and i was pretty sure it wasn't a scsi drive but didn't bother to check [06:27] GaMbi_DK: windows will be the only way to recover it, if it is recoverable [06:27] this box mounts all over SD cards under /dev/sd* [06:27] !hi | outbackwifi [06:27] outbackwifi, please see my private message [06:27] but not this particular microsd card >< [06:27] subdolus: check this out: [06:27] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=299939 [06:27] subdolus ok you proved my assumption. sd cards are seen as scsi devices. [06:28] god is good [06:28] <3 [06:28] I have a laptop with a 1920x1200 LCD. Is there a way I can set the resolution to 1280x800 instead? It doesn't appear as a mode in the output of xrandr. [06:28] subdolus as to why not that one. i have no idea. [06:28] Serial bob, seriously, its serial... that's what the first S in scsi stands for I'm 90% positive (prove me wrong and I go to bed) [06:29] bzaks " this box mounts all over SD cards under /dev/sd*" << his words not mine. [06:29] That's true, but that doesn't make it scsi [06:29] Agent_bob: I keep trying to unmount my external but it's telling me it's busy! How can I check what is accessing the drive? [06:29] * outbackwifi thinks someone ought to go to bed (SCSI --> Small Computer System Interface) [06:29] bustaplz is there a desktop icon for it ?

[06:31] well in a round about way. [06:31] tells me and application is preventing it [06:31] yes [06:31] want to see mine? [06:31] bustaplz ok. anything else open that might be in there ? [06:32] bustaplz: you can run it at night and this is also a external harddrive but connected to my server [06:32] well i did listen to a song off of it using VLC [06:32] bustaplz is vlc still open ? [06:32] not visibly [06:32] bustaplz you have to close it in it's menu not the [X] [06:32] if I had a task manager I could check =P [06:32] hi all. Ive just set up a raid0 array an when I mount the device and then do a df -h the numbers just dont add up.

[06:33] bustaplz: ps [06:34] help_ not work WiFi button ON (Acer Aspire 5720Z) [06:34] that didnt give me much [06:34] bustaplz ok open a terminal and try this. sudo fuser -ki /dev/ [06:34] bustaplz: ps aux [06:34] bustaplz: system=> administration => systemmonitor [06:34] Gumby: i need to mount the iphone first like it explained here using ssh mount https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [06:35] bustaplz pstree also check running processes [06:35] but I dont have any network [06:35] Gumby: i am looking for a way using usb cable [06:35] how can I see what service is running on a certain port?

I got FreeUndelete installed... I can only scan my C and D drive but ubuntu is on another drive that I cant see.. the music was stored on D thought.. what am I lookin for ? the folder should be in there with the same name as normal?

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [06:38] Gumby, I don't run enough services that I need grep ;p [06:39] i'm using $sudo umount /media/WDPassport [06:39] nickrud :) [06:39] bustaplz did you right click the icon and tell it to umount [06:39] bustaplz, make sure you don't have a terminal open to that directory, or one below it [06:39] Agent_bob: yes, it gives me the same message [06:39] bustaplz: are you using a program that is browsing that directory [06:39] bustaplz even now ? [06:39] Gracias [06:39] yes [06:39] bustaplz: lsof |grep WDPassport might tell you if you are [06:40] wow I'm terrible [06:40] i had a terminal open that I had used to browse the drive [06:40] i closed that tab [06:40] but I guess it doesn't work that way [06:40] GaMbi: what are u lookin for? [06:40] and voila it unmounted [06:40] I deleted all my music 5 min ago on ubuntu [06:41] can anyone explain step 3 of "setup" just the first sentence, what is the file name i use? [06:41] bustaplz that's why i said fuser -ki [06:41] http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Headless%20Transmisison [06:41] Hello all, I'm having troubles with my wireless connection. I spent hours to get it working, then it fails 2 days later. It finds the network but wont let me connect and I have changed no wireless settings since. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks [06:41] was told that I should log windows and download "FreeUndelete" but I dont really know what to look for [06:41] I typed that and got no return [06:41] GaMbi, the music was on an ntfs drive? If so, the people in ##windows know a lot more about how to undelete that stuff [06:41] Wasn't sure what it was supposed to do. [06:42] now to test out my script [06:42] bustaplz, most command line stuff only outputs on error. No response == success ;) [06:42] !rtfm [06:42] Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [06:42] thx nickrud ..

It just seem like something no one does that . [06:46] tarelerulz, http://tvtagger.wordpress.com/ [06:47] thanatos, fan of freud? [06:47] Agent_bob: actually I think I know what happened, I messed up the mount point. It doesn't seem to like me mounting in /media [06:47] Anyone have a sec to help troubleshoot my wireless problems? I was connected but now cannot. [06:47] bustaplz i see two things already. if that's a removable drive you need to use the UUID and not a device node. also you need to mkdir -p your mountpoint. [06:48] what is a UUID? [06:48] i'll man the mkdir [06:48] bustaplz location is not the issue. you can use mkdir -p for that. and as to UUID type in command blkid [06:48] hi! I am trying to install xenman, and I get: http://pastebin.com/m5731be1d [06:49] qweqweqwe, don't know yet (looking up on wikipedia) [06:49] which app do you recommend me to record audio&&video (webcam & sound recorder) ? [06:49] thanatos, maybe not then, but sigmund freud coined the term thanatos, meaning death wish instinct [06:49] Still no one here who can help with a weird RAID-related problem? [06:49] trimeta, tried ##linux? [06:50] qweqweqwe: I'll take a look. [06:50] actually, I did the mkdir -p and it worked! [06:50] oh right [06:50] i seem to have a permission problem with sdparm [06:50] hello ? [06:50] bustaplz the UUID line will look something like mount UUID="2918-0E09" /media/WDPassport -o umask=000 [06:50] qweqweqwe, oh right, sorry, i came up with it a long time ago, forgot [06:51] qweqweqwe, yes [06:51] how can I look up this UUID? [06:51] how can I check the wifi signal strength? (I'm writting c code for ubuntu) [06:51] just curious if anyone can see what i'm typing... [06:51] well, under ubuntu [06:51] Agent_bob: is that a device specific name? [06:51] bustaplz the reason i say use uuid is because the device address will change but the uuid is writen in the fs itself [06:51] thanatos, he proposed that in order to cope with the idea that we'll all die, we each have an internal desire to die - bit freaky but almost the only freudian theory that still holds weight with modern psychologists... [06:51] bustaplz look at your /etc/fstab for examples [06:52] thanatos, I have been looking for program to meta tag movies for months now. I have put eveything I can think of into google trying to find that and just found stuff on meta tagging mp3/song and all the sound formats ,but nothing on movies. What did you put into google [06:52] that oedipus stuff is crap [06:52] qweqweqwe: please stay on topic [06:52] !ubuntu [06:52] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [06:52] tarelerulz, i use a program (on my windows comp, called taggerjava6) [06:52] !record [06:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about record [06:53] Agent_bob I don't see my drive listed in fstab [06:53] tritium, no probs, will go back to work even :-) [06:53] thanatos is the link you showed me for windows ? [06:53] chrziz-laptop: whats your configuration? [06:53] Agent_bob the thing that is weird is that in my script I also use a external drive and here I have no problem using /media/backup1 as target [06:54] Agent_bob: if I do $mount I can see my drive(/dev/sde1) and it says uid=1000 in parenthesis, is this the same thing? [06:54] How do I print out whats in a log file into a terminal? [06:54] qweqweqwe: :) [06:54] paul68: i generally use the uuid to refer to the drives, that way its consistent; sudo blkid /dev/sda? will tell you its uuid === freaky_t is now known as fReAky_t [06:54] tarelerulz, ya, but if your desparate, wine is now past 1.0 [06:55] After_Math: if its a plain text logfile cat logfile should do [06:55] outbackwifi: thanks! [06:55] After_Math: if you want to look through it more logfile or less logfile helps [06:55] outbackwifi: ok or is it because I use samba as wel in order to make it work [06:56] Agent_bob: I have the UUID now, how do I change my script to include the UUID rather than device node? [06:56] outbackwifi, thank you sir :) [06:56] outbackwifi: atheros 5418 trying to connect to wpa network [06:56] thanatos: The funny thing is I did not care what os it is for ,but when I looked it seemed like no one tagged movies period . Thanks for the link [06:56] http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Headless%20Transmisison, setup, step 3, help anyone? [06:56] chrziz-laptop: are you using madwifi or ndiswrapper [06:56] paul68: i dont tthink samba and uuid work together [06:56] tarelerulz, i use it to fix my files after i convert them to ipod format === fReAky_t is now known as freaky_t [06:56] I am using madwifi [06:57] it has may tag features though [06:57] tarelerulz, many tag features though [06:57] still need help with downloading music into iphone from ubuntu [06:57] outbackwifi: I got it to work successfully for a couple days, then it just wont work today [06:57] i dont have any network.. want to do the whole thing using the usb data cable [06:57] chrziz-laptop: what changed today? did you upgrade kernel or something? [06:58] Agent_bob: I think I figured it out! [06:58] thanatos, I found out that banshee organizes movies and songs in a media library . [06:58] tarelerulz, uh-huh [07:00] outbackwifi: Yes, I did install some updates, could that have been it? [07:00] hey, tarded question, how do i turn off Network Manager and just control the interfaces myself? [07:01] chrziz-laptop: unless it was a kernel update, madwifi doesnt normally break; can you pastebin dmesg| grep ath ? [07:01] how does one format and unformatted drive? [07:02] tophyr: right click on nm disable networking; open up terminal make entries in /etc/network/interfaces; use ifup ifdown to control [07:02] break_free, sudo apt-get install gparted [07:02] break_free, then run it [07:02] thanatos, thanks [07:02] outbackwifi: grazie [07:02] break_free: first create a partition using fdisk or gparted; format using mkfs (this is the cli way) [07:03] outbackwifi, like my way better [07:03] would dvds that are dual layer have anything to do with libdvdcss not reading them properly? [07:03] why does cheese took so bad resolution photos? is there any way to fix it? [07:03] outbackwifi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58684/ and thank you for helping! [07:03] lliw00: shouldn't matter [07:03] hi all [07:03] hello [07:04] break_free: then why cant my computer properly play dvds? iv followed every guide i could for hardy and nothing seems to be working [07:04] bustaplz you still here ? [07:04] i have some code, how do i add it to /etc/init.d [07:04] its for transmission [07:04] chrziz-laptop: how did you end up with a proprietary driver? === Guest77998 is now known as tgunner90 [07:04] thanatos: pico is a great console text editor [07:05] thanatos: usually /etc/init.d is a directory though [07:05] bustaplz have a look at this, http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/8585 you can use it if you want. if not you might get an idea from it. [07:05] lliw00: what's your dvd problem? [07:05] thanatos: you should add it to /etc/rc.local [07:05] Cyranix0r, outbackwifi http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Headless%20Transmisison [07:05] question: is there a way to remove packages that appear to be broken to dpkg (because files or directories are missing that belong to these packages)? [07:05] thanatos: you prolly wanna add it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or the equivalent [07:05] hey guys is there such a photoshop for the kde desktop like gimp is for gnome? [07:05] outbackwifi: I probably tried 4 tutorials before I got the wireless working, probably picked it up there [07:05] hi [07:05] debcarlos, when i load a battlestar galactica disk into the dvd drive it seems to sit there and open totem but return the error cannot read for resource [07:06] help.. i accidentally set my screen upside down in the screen resolution applet.. how do i get it back? .. i can see an upside down mouse pointer that moves around, but i cant click anything :( [07:06] I hev found a bug in Ubuntu [07:06] digitaldoll: no, there is only gimp. you can run it in kde just fine. [07:06] snadge: killall xrandr [07:06] im ircing from console at the moment.. i thought maybe i could xrandr or something :/ [07:06] supravat: so file a report [07:06] thanatos: copy that script, paste it into a new file called transmission in /etc/init.d; then run "sudo update-rc.d transmission defaults" to enable automatic starting [07:06] lliw00: oh... i thought you wanted menus and that sort of things... srry can't help you :) [07:06] bustaplz ? [07:06] are there any skins or themes for the gimp Gnea [07:06] hey snadge, long time no see :) [07:06] thanatos , I guess even one in the world ,but me knew that. I just wonder why it never come up on my google searches . [07:07] after running $sudo su [07:07] digitaldoll: it uses gtk, so whatever skins gtk, yes [07:07] jim_p: there is no xrandr process running :( [07:07] Cyranix0r, how do i get "/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start" to work, see http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Headless%20Transmisison [07:07] so. anyway to increase cheese photos/videos quality ? [07:07] hey otaku42 .. madwifi developer yes? :) [07:07] debcarlos, what do you mean menus, like create them or read them off a disk? [07:07] u need to type the superuser password [07:07] thanatos: EASY :). Just cut and paste all that into any old text file, and name the file transmission-daemon, and save it in /etc/init.d [07:07] how do i switch everything over to gtk [07:07] snadge: aye [07:07] how do i switch everything over to gtk @ Gnea [07:07] outbackwifi, sorry, lost track of scrolling thanks [07:07] thanatos: then chmod 0700 /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon [07:07] supravat: no [07:07] How can you make it that when you use Tor and Privozy that when you go to google you go to google.com and not google.de? [07:07] Cyranix0r, thanks [07:07] thanatos: np [07:08] supravat: sudo su shouldn't be used anyway, sudo -i is safer [07:08] but next time when u type the same command it does not prompt for password [07:08] lliw00: read them [07:08] right, it's cached for a small amount of time [07:08] supravat: thats for a certain duration, [07:08] it's a feature, not a bug [07:08] debcarlos, hmmmmm [07:08] which is too dangerous [07:08] not always [07:08] hi ubuntu freezes at random for me anyone know why? [07:09] you can always lock the screen :) [07:09] lliw00: i mean, nearly every dvd have a menu where you can add subtitles, change audio and that things. [07:09] supravat: i always close the terminal after a sudo session so that i doesnt remember [07:09] hmm [07:09] supravat: "it" [07:09] lllll [07:09] snadge: how did you rotate it then? though nvidias panel? [07:09] hmm [07:10] Quick question are the fglrx drivers working for 8.10? [07:10] if it's that big a deal to you, disable it in the sudoers file [07:10] I have a network problem... I have this: http://pastebin.com/m60a316d4 and everytime I reboot I have to manually setup the default gateway... why? [07:10] anybody know if is possible integrate magento with openbravo?

[07:15] kuthux: if its an iso, you can mount it at the loop device and then do whatever you want to do with the contents [07:15] outbackwifi: i remember now that I did install the proprietary drivers with ndiswrapper to no avail, could they be conflicting with madwifi [07:15] chrziz-laptop: yes, just remove/blacklist them [07:15] can anyone help me out [07:15] outbackwifi: ok then should i make .iso file first from the cd, then do it ? [07:15] kuthux: i guess so [07:16] outbackwifi: ok, will do, thanks [07:16] * outbackwifi is no expert on windows and just hopes that the windows installer becomes horribly corrupt forcing kuthux to install ubuntu [07:16] pls can anyone help me [07:16] outbackwifi: but i think mount -o loop will do read only [07:17] * kuthux still dualbooting [07:17] i need help [07:17] !ask | devslashnull [07:17] devslashnull: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[08:07] wait let me be sure [08:07] 1 sec [08:07] yep [08:07] pinging google [08:07] prince_jammys: sorry - I was trying to set permissions on a test .odt file and will probably need to do it with chmod - [08:07] devslashnull: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:08] vwracer69: no big deal, just want to make sure you're not barking up the wrong tree :) [08:08] strumic1: directories need to be +x in order for you to access them.

[08:09] yes [08:09] so do i remove the entire /etc/apt folder ? [08:09] devslashnull: also, if you are sure everything is working fine with this kernel, just remove the older ones [08:09] no! [08:09] devslashnull: dont delete it by hand, use the command [08:10] devslashnull: sudo apt-get clean [08:10] devslashnull: use apt-get clean [08:10] Gnea: tx [08:10] :) [08:10] :) [08:10] prince_jammys: I do not want someone to be able to open a .odt file without using a password or if it was even totally hidden as well would work - I know there are ways to do this relatively easy in windows. [08:10] newlife: you can password protect the odt file from openoffice, you shouldnt be required to mess with the filesystem [08:11] newlife: changing the permissions will affect what users can open the file. passwords don't come into play [08:11] outbackwifi, after sudo apt-get clean i am at 91%. anything else i can clean since ive got so little space [08:11] if you want password protection, don't mess with the permissions [08:11] hi guys [08:11] outbackwifi: Thanks will give that a try on a test file 1st. [08:12] how to make chmod permission so everyone can access the folder, i did chmod -R 644 to a directory now i can not access it [08:12] devslashnull: the old kernel, modules and headers also gives back a lot ofspace [08:12] devslashnull: i also cleaned out my /usr/share/doc [08:12] :( [08:12] outbackwifi, i removed the older kernel and headers [08:12] devslashnull: in fact i moved the apt archives to a 4G SDHC card [08:13] devslashnull: modules too? look in /lib/modules [08:13] hi, i dont see the orange progress bar at usplash during shutdown, did someone have the same problem before? [08:13] i wanted to know if anyone knows if there is a easyer way to change from ubuntu normal to ubuntu studio am runing 8.10 beta right now [08:13] outbackwifi, did u erase everything in /usr/share/doc ? [08:13] strumic1: 6 is no good. you the executable bit set if you want to be able to open the dir. CAREFUL with -R [08:13] devslashnull: and moved my thunderbird mail box to an external USB 120G drive [08:13] prince_jammys: What outbackwifi suggested will be best for now - will try that - thanks for your help - Also when I have time I'am not afraid to learn more about using the Terminal - Thanks again.

[08:15] newlife: careful with permissions. depending on where you're changing them, they can be a fast way to break things [08:15] devslashnull: sudo apt-get clean [08:16] i did that already [08:16] but you said you moved the archives to the shdc card [08:16] Hey, I'm wondering if there is a way to manually set the driver to use ( for onboard wifi ) The one which comes with ubuntu is bugged for my intel n card, and it needs the iwl4965. [08:17] devslashnull: oh ok, i just moved the directory to the card and then setup a symbolic link from /var/cache/apt/archives to the SD car [08:17] card [08:18] outbackwifi, and have you overclocked yours to 900mhz? [08:18] I'm not sure if the driver is simply not installed, or it's using the wrong one. [08:18] devslashnull: did that once but brought it back now [08:18] back to 630 ? [08:19] devslashnull: yes [08:19] why ? === kman is now known as kmansix [08:20] devslashnull: read somewhere that 900MHz doesnt really work on the 701 and didnt want to mess with the CPU. Just upgraded to a 1000H instead ;) [08:21] how much was that ? [08:22] devslashnull: uhh about $700 (with a 2G RAM, 160 G HDD and a 6600 mAH battery) [08:22] wow [08:22] the one thing that frustrates me is that the kb is so frickin small [08:22] devslashnull: get about 5 hrs of battery [08:22] and the 701 ? [08:22] battery wise [08:22] why did you remove /usr/share/doc, out of curiosity? [08:23] prince_jammys: to save on disk space, you see the 701 has only a 4G SSD [08:23] waste of space [08:23] devslashnull: was happy if i got 2.5 hrs on wifi [08:23] outbackwifi: Thanks for tip on .odt file - did a test file and worked great - all smiles now :o) [08:23] outbackwifi, wow thats little... [08:23] newlife: yw [08:24] why not get another hard drive..or another distro? [08:24] devslashnull: the 901 and 1000H now have the atom processor that consumes 2.5w of power [08:24] i have a ton of documentation installed, including man-pages-dev, and several e-books. the entire /usr/share/doc takes up 542 MB here. [08:24] the thing is, 700 is kind of a lot. i only bought this eeepc cause it was really cheap [08:24] outbackwifi: another tip for the ol' "Bin O Tips" page....... [08:25] newlife: sure === AliTarihi is now known as AliTarihi_ [08:25] prince_jammys: i guess you havent seen the eeepc 701, it has a solid state drive soldered to the mobo [08:25] same as macbook air [08:26] no, i definitely haven't [08:26] devslashnull: i read somewhere that the price has now dropped to around 400 (not sure) [08:26] It seems stupid to have a larger eepc. [08:26] outbackwifi, still out of my price range [08:26] i paid 150 for this one [08:26] * outbackwifi not really if its your main pc now :) [08:27] devslashnull: thats really cheap!! i paid 400 for mine in march [08:27] ebay [08:27] but again, lets move the banter to ubuntu-offtopic [08:27] i just need ot see if i can get a foldable usb based kb [08:27] i cant stand its kb [08:28] What's the time in korea Now....

[08:29] so if i wanted to change from 8.04 lts to Kubuntu or studio [08:29] what would be the best way to do so [08:29] outbackwifi, did u have any problems installing the overclocking app [08:29] devslashnull: nope [08:29] !vanilla-#ubuntustudio | romeo [08:29] romeo: To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation [08:29] i was in the process of installing it when this wireless thing happened [08:29] Is there anybody take part in kernel development. [08:29] ? [08:30] kongove: #kernel [08:30] romeo: for kubuntu, just install the package kubuntu-desktop [08:30] not sure if its related or not [08:30] Thanks [08:31] Flannel: I am confused: $PATH includes an entry /home//.bin and no /home//bin . But you suggested to download a shell script to /home//bin. Please explain why did you not suggest to download to /home//.bin ? [08:31] hi, i can access shared folders of ubuntu machine from my windowsXp, but i cant access windowsXP shared folders from ubuntu machone [08:32] bullgard4: because the usual directory for a user's scripts is ~/bin [08:32] not .bin [08:32] Oprt1: samba [08:32] dammit [08:32] its not compiling for me [08:32] !samba [08:32] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[08:33] well 630 is pretty flimsy. [08:33] prince_jammys: So usually I need to include an entry /home//bin to my $PATH ? [08:33] what in the world is going on with this wireless connection? http://pastebin.ca/1229148 [08:33] devslashnull: theres very little i couldnt do with it [08:33] bullgard4: yes, unless it's already done in your .profile, which i think is the case in a default ubuntu [08:33] what do you mean [08:33] you didnt notice a difference [08:33] ? [08:33] its trying to authenticating against the access point but times out before the authentication packet is recieved [08:34] bullgard4: path shouldn't include anything for ~/.bin, that would make very little sense.

[08:52] Computech: something bad will happen if you *don't* [08:52] just don't forget root's password [08:52] and don't tell anybody else [08:52] but why there is normally no one in ubuntu then? [08:52] not really sure. [08:52] because it's not necessary, and considered more secure [08:53] prince_jammys: 0_o [08:53] though some argue with that. but that is the ubuntu way [08:53] !noroot [08:53] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [08:53] wrong [08:53] wrong one [08:53] !root [08:53] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:53] in linux, is it impossible to log in as root if root has no password? [08:53] Computech: that article mentions it [08:53] login as your user tophyr, then sudo su [08:53] sometimes sudo doesn't work right, in that case I su - anyway :P [08:53] tophyr: in a default ubuntu, yes [08:54] but i need a root password to login to vmware [08:54] aha [08:54] tophyr: you have to expressly set a root password in ubuntu if you want that behavior [08:55] prince_jammys: which behavior? [08:55] the ability to log in as root [08:55] ah ok [08:55] will Waistless's "sudo su -" work if root has no pwd? [08:55] hi.. what could be the reason that dmraid only shows 1 raid-device when i promt dmraid -r ? [08:55] or alternatively "sudo bash"? [08:55] sudo -i [08:56] my fakeraid controller shows both hdd [08:56] No you just need "sudo su" tophyr. [08:56] kk [08:56] yeah, i'm not sure why no root pwd would be less secure than having one [08:57] it's talked about in the link above [08:57] will have to read it === natacha is now known as Natoux [08:58] one idea is that in multiuser systems, you can trace who did what as superuser, with sudo [08:58] ah, makes sense [08:58] i was thinking in an intrusion situation === mtozses_ is now known as Kartagis [09:00] if a sudo user (a sudoer)'s password is compromised, you're in trouble .. though supposedly in less trouble than if you had a root account and that password was stolen [09:01] is there any advantage of rme to install the Ubuntu 64bit version? my cpu is a C2D. here is what I do on my computer: video encoding, php programming, run virtual machines with virtual machine for testing, and ofcourse, the usual stuff like watching movie, youtube, chatting, etc. [09:01] for me* [09:02] is 'Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument' a normal, possibly-expected-if-i-don't-do-it right or does it signify something i can't fix w/o diff hardware or drivers? [09:02] prince_jammys: yeah, the stolen-password sitch was what i was thinking of [09:02] although being able to track which sudoer would be some help at least [09:03] tophyr, prince_jammys: also, you don't need to give people who can sudo permission to do *everything*, you can give them elevated privledges in X and Y, but not Z, etc. [09:03] Flannel: neat [09:03] oh, yeah, you can configure it a lot [09:03] is there any special repository that has the latest nvidia driver? === johnson is now known as Guest78959 [09:05] nvidia has a version 177.80 available on their website, but looks like the one in the regular repos is 169.12 === kuthux is now known as Guest23686 [09:05] the newer version supposedly has a workaround for a huge performance issue [09:05] m [09:06] e === Guest23686 is now known as e-frame [09:06] m [09:06] Hi [09:06] atlast i have successfully installed ubuntu :D [09:06] congrats [09:06] i know know how can i run internet on it ?

[09:19] A|}EEL VPN needs authentication, they must have given it to u [09:19] ah ok.

[09:49] bullgard4: you can set the path system wide in /etc/profile [09:49] outbackwifi: then it will apply only to shells (bullgard4) [09:49] hiya , if i would like to install a programme which folder do i install it into ? [09:49] * delcoyote hi [09:50] guys anyone with ideas as to which software can decrease the size of a JPEG photo [09:50] Guest44289: you normally leave that decision to the package you are installing. Ubuntu packages have pre-defined locations. [09:50] Guest44289: what are you trying to install? [09:50] soundray: yes, unless we know what the OP wants to set path for, we wont know what to suggest ;) [09:50] in ubuntu? [09:50] PillowSoft: I installed libflashsupport [09:50] kitcat: gimp [09:51] scanned some images and the size are too big to be attached cause I have several which i need to send as an attachment === Guest44289 is now known as malcolm_ [09:51] Bonk: thats the only one? [09:51] iirc yep [09:51] any assistance would be great [09:51] kitcat: use gimp to do it interactively, or mogrify from the imagemagick package for batch processing. [09:52] kitcat: you dont seem to be reading responses. Someone else also suggested gimp and yet you asked the same question again. Please try it out with gimp and then tell us if it doesnt work [09:52] kitcat: set cubic interpolation to have the least quality loss [09:52] bonk; When i installed the flash plugins i installed 3 and one of them made firefox crash [09:52] how to set wireless driver to iwl3945, when compile kernel === Slade is now known as Guest71806 [09:53] Bonk: but i didnt use that package so idk if its the problem i would just unistall it and use another one [09:53] okay .... i donwloaded a file and selected extract here and then it installs in my directory but im not to sure i want that ? === andrea is now known as Guest48335 [09:53] wartalke1: why are you compiling a kernel? [09:53] oh flashplugin-nonfree was also installed [09:54] malcolm_: normally, you want to avoid installing software in this way. Use an Ubuntu package instead and install it with synaptic or apt-get. What are you installing? [09:54] You normally use ./ when installing however you can just use the package installer that comes with Ubuntu under systems [09:54] soundray: i want to install aircrack, the kernel should update to 2.6.26 [09:55] Bonk: i think it was that one that was bugged [09:55] alright, so it's ok to remove? [09:55] ya [09:56] I should boot Ubuntu while i give advice so i can figure out the names of stuff. [09:57] bonk: no, you shouldn't remove flashplugin-nonfree [09:57] ok [09:58] apo [09:58] Sorry bonk guess i dont know what im talking about :P [09:58] bonk: check whether you have gnash installed, and if so, remove that. Then restart firefox and see if it is still crashing. [09:58] malcolm_: what are you installing? [09:59] kitcat: still here? [09:59] mmm... taco bell... [09:59] gnash is unchecked in synap [09:59] hey what should i do if there's no cd in my cd tray and yet gvfs still thinks it's mounted, right clicking on it and choosing unmount doesn't do anything/errors (no media in drive) and even using a paperclip to manually eject the tray doesn't work [10:00] the oddity is that it sometimes crashes sometimes works in flash [10:00] Hello [10:00] bonk: in firefox, open about:plugins as the URL and see if you have enabled any flash plugins other than libflashplayer.so [10:00] hi is it possible to change an icon in the icontray? [10:02] why the f cant the live cd have a way to get to a normal grub command line? === me is now known as Guest26479 [10:02] soundray: ":~$ echo $PATH; /home/detlef/.bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" I found your answer correct: The first entry stems from ~/.bashrc. The rest entries stem from /etc/environment. In what file should I add an entry '/home/detlef/bin' so that it will become permanent? [10:02] why does it have to totally remove and real grub functionality? [10:02] praed: doesn't f6 let you do that?... [10:02] outbackwifi, thanks, that loaded the drivers, but it seems that they don't work in intrepid anyway, wifi device is detected, but it doesn't detect any wireless networks. [10:02] no [10:02] just what to passt o the kernel [10:03] and esc goes to only being able to select where the kernel is [10:03] soundray: yeah "FutureSplash Player", so delete? [10:03] bonk: yes [10:03] when you get a bios that doesnt map the cdrom correctly then your screwed [10:03] ppl can someone help me with my sound issue i am not at all getting the sound output at all [10:04] your suppose to map stuff work better together, not mod it so it only works with your stuff [10:04] bullgard4: probably in ~/.bashrc unless you want this for any other user than yourself [10:05] soundray: No, it is only for me as an ordinary user. -- Thank you very much for your help. [10:05] soundray: when i did about:plugins it showed me that i have 2 flash players enabled..1) shockwave flash 2) futuresplash player..do i have to delete or disable one of them.. [10:05] praed: please use appropriate language in this channel. The reason is that the live CDs do not use grub. [10:06] is there any advantage for me to install the Ubuntu 64bit version? my cpu is a C2D. here is what I do on my computer: video encoding, php programming, run virtual machines with virtual machine for testing, and ofcourse, the usual stuff like watching movie, youtube, chatting, etc. [10:06] You can easialy get a grub line from a live cd. [10:06] any help with my sound issue i upgraded the kernel after that i dont have any sound [10:06] shredder12: only if you have problems with firefox crashing, flash not working etc. === _LordC is now known as LordC [10:07] blanktheserver: how? The CDs do not use grub [10:07] how to see the time of build for a file [10:07] soundray what cd do u use? live cd or alternate ? [10:07] soundray, You can still load one after you boot the livecd. [10:07] hi guys how do i upgrade my mozilla firefox every time i try to log into hotmail i get warning upgrade your firefox [10:07]  how to see the time of build of a file [10:07] kuthux: why do you ask? [10:08] soundray, what cd do u use? live cd or alternate ? [10:08] divinesoul: well upgrading the kernel gave plenty of problems too.. my wired network interface just disappeared..so i think its better for you to switch back to the older version..where you are not gonna have any problem.. [10:08] kuthux: why do you ask? [10:08] anyone know how to hardcode DNS servers to prevent network manager from setting them? [10:08] shredder12, how do i switch back to the old kernel [10:08] supradin [10:08] soundray why? [10:09] IcyPolecat: edit /etc/resolv.conf to specify dns [10:09] soundray live cd & alternate act differently when u boot it [10:09] divinesoul: when the grub screen loads at he time of power on..press Esc there you will find several options showing different kernel versions of ubuntu.. [10:09] kuthux: I haven't asked for help [10:09] divinesoul: as far a i know the new version is 2.6.24-21 and the older one is 2.6.24-19 which will be third from the top in the menu list.. [10:10] bytecode: have done that but it gets overridden as part of my DHCP config by network manager [10:10] i have a dual os setup with windows so i already see the option let me check it [10:10] i willl log back in shortly shredder [10:10] ok.. [10:11] blanktheserver: I see what you mean. You cannot boot a system via the grub command line from inside the CD, though. I think that's what the original poster was looking for. [10:11] IcyPolecat: does NM lose the settings if you specify them in the NM DNS tab also? [10:11] soundray, ah ok. I just figured he was probably trying to repair a grub install. [10:11] yup [10:12] probably broken DHCP but not under my control - have dnsmasq installed and configured so all I need is to force 127.0.0.1 in the resolv.conf and have it stay there! [10:12] blanktheserver: that's the problem with people who moan instead of asking a reasoned question. You just can't help them properly [10:12] tnet.org [10:12] oops [10:12] soundray ok then [10:13] how do i create a directry in the terminal? ;) [10:13] pw-toxic, mkdir [10:13] pw-toxic: mkdir dirname [10:13] th [10:13] x [10:13] IcyPolecat: I'm not sure how to stop NM doing that, I guess you could either setup a script to amend resolv.conf, or stop using NM and setup your DHCP client and resolv.conf etc yourself. I tned not to use DHCP though - I use static as I only have about 10 machines on the network. [10:13] !cli > pw-toxic [10:13] pw-toxic, please see my private message [10:13] IcyPolecat: and the DHCP server caters for the laptops. [10:14] hi guys how do i upgrade my mozilla firefox every time i try to log into hotmail i get warning upgrade your firefox [10:15] firefoxub, System->Administration->Update Manager [10:15] firefoxub:which firefox are you using? [10:15] mozilla firefox [10:15] 2.0? 3.0? 3.0.3? [10:15] 1.5? [10:15] thanks doggymenz [10:15] dunno [10:15] ok [10:15] I changed my file ~/bashrc . What have I to do that the change will become effective? [10:15] bytecode: ok thanks anyway - I assume there is a hook somewhere that needs to be disabled but jiggered if I can find it :-) [10:15] soundray there is an option to boot from harddisk when we boot from cd, so we can boot existing system. am i right? cmiiw [10:16] hi, can you tell me what is wrong with live usb installation? it seems like everything is ok, but when i see splash screen, it keeps resetting just after a few seconds... [10:16] firefoxub, in Firefox there is a Help menu, if you click there and select "About Mozilla Firefox" it tells you [10:16] s/bashrc/.bahrc [10:16] kuthux, yes, that will attempt your normal boot process, as if the cd were not there. [10:16] bullgard4: just execute " source .bashrc " and your job will be done.. [10:16] IcyPolecat: sorry I couldn't be of more help. wonder if you could manually edit /etc/resolv.conf, then set it to read only so that NM can't write to it [10:16] kuthux: yes, but only if the hard disk has a working boot loader [10:17] Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092510 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.3 [10:17] bytecode: worth a try! just not sure how I could do that as am pretty sure NM runs with root privalege [10:17] IcyPolecat: I suspect you're right. [10:17] is it possible to integrate the new Openoffice 3 in ubuntu - namely, get the usual open/save gnome dialog boxes (with bookmarks, ect)? [10:17] hi guys! how can i modify, customize the icon of a running application shown on the icon tray? (kubuntu hardy heron 8.0.4 on kde 3.5.9) ?? [10:17] firefoxub:seems like you got the lastest one [10:18] soundray / blanktheserver, will it reboot? [10:18] yes why i get warning to upgrade when i log into my hotmail i can not write emails [10:18] firefoxub, you have 3.0.3 which is the latest version, there are no newer version. i think you should ignore the message on hotmail [10:18] IcyPolecat: you could just set up a cronjob to overwrite the NM version with your own if the file is different? it's a little "dirty" but would work. [10:18] kuthux, as I said, it will do what would happen as if the cd were not there. [10:18] firefoxub:will you pastebin that [10:18] !pastebin [10:18] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [10:19] bytecode: problem is I need the DNS there at boot time as Postfix starts just after and mucks up if it can't resolve. [10:19] also, i recommend gmail (www.gmail.com) which is like hotmail but better, its done by google [10:19] bytecode: might be possible to force Postfix to use set DNS servers but don't really want to break the whole resolv.conf setup [10:19] doggymenz:yea, i use gmail, its great [10:19] IcyPolecat: do you have avahi running? you could tweak that [10:19] thiebaude, you're asking him to pastebin a single line??? If so you're missing the point somewhat. [10:20] how do i access compiz settings in ubuntu? [10:20] i want to create shortcuts for the zoom [10:20] blanktheserver:i dont know how the error message looks [10:20] IcyPolecat: if it's at boot then that would be prior to NM starting? so it should be in place from the overwrite that would have happened prior to shutdown. [10:20] outbackwifi: erm - hang on ... yes have the avahi-daemon [10:20] shredder12, still it is not working [10:20] newfive, install the package compiz-config-settings-manager or ccsm, not sure but a synaptic search should find it. [10:20] Can someone please help me debug an problem with my sound, since the last update Firefox crashes on videos, and Songbird complains about GStreamer! [10:20] doggymenz: to get gmail account do you have to be invited by a member? [10:21] soundray: futuresplash isn't in synaptic nor can it be found in apt-get remove, I did "locate libflash" and maybe it's part of Opera "/usr/lib/opera/plugins/libflashplayer.so" how do I remove this one do you know? [10:21] IcyPolecat: still, it is a little dirty - I'd prefer a better solution such as disabling NM's dns overwrite in the first place. [10:21] legend2440, not anymore, its open for all now [10:21] bytecode: possibly it may be the case that the old config is still there but the scripts that run to update NM config also restart Postfix - thus breaking heem [10:21] doggymenz: ok thanks [10:21] Blaise, even i do have the same problem cant find a solution [10:21] divinesoul: well may be you should try to configure the sound settings a bit now. [10:21] can u please guide i am a newbie [10:22] IcyPolecat: look into /etc/avahi and try to tweak hosts [10:22] !ask [10:22] 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. :-) [10:22] i want to open emacs; copy something from that file in my "clipboard" and use something like this in the terminal "ocaml " [10:22] divinesoul: have people here heard about OpenAl Soft, I hear it's better than PulseAudio [10:22] pw-toxic: whats stopping you [10:22] outbackwifi: i dont have a clue how to do this :D [10:22] IcyPolecat: lol - that's a pain! There must be a solution. wonder if it's worth looking at the NM source to look for switches? [10:22] outbackwifi: the butter should be able to have more than one line.. probably some pages [10:23] when i try to test the sound i get this messahe [10:23] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for playback. [10:23] butter = buffer = clipboard [10:23] divinesoul, sound card? [10:23] bytecode: and wading through the source is just how I want to spend my morning :) [10:23] divinesoul: well its try different options in System->preferences->sound earlier even i was having problems with the sound..trying differnet options in it..worked..may be you should try .. [10:23] pw-toxic: you almost had me there [10:23] outbackwifi: not sure what I'm looking for - will need to read up on avahi tbh [10:23] Hey, I'm wondering if there is a way to manually set the driver to use ( for onboard wifi ) The one which comes with ubuntu is bugged for my intel n card, and it needs the iwl4965. On previous versions I simply installed these drivers: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download I've loaded the drivers, but it seems that they don't work in intrepid anyway, wifi device is detected, but it doesn't detect any wireless networks. [10:24] i searched for compizconfig-settings-manager in synaptic search but its not there, i installed ubuntu through wubi, is it missing the compiz settings? [10:24] !avahi [10:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about avahi [10:24] !info avahi [10:24] Package avahi does not exist in hardy [10:24] !info avahi-daemon [10:24] how can i zoom, what's the shortcut to zoom [10:24] avahi-daemon (source: avahi): Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD daemon. In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.22-2ubuntu4 (hardy), package size 61 kB, installed size 380 kB [10:24] IcyPolecat: lol - bread and butter for me - PHP/Postgres/SQL etc... oh well - good luck ;-) === ubuntu__ is now known as berenzen [10:24] blanktheserver: there is a blacklist for preventing drivers from loading automatically. Is that what you are looking for? [10:25] outbackwifi: so you gonna tell me how to copy and paste in terminal ? ;) [10:25] newfive: it should be in System=Preferences [10:25] shredder12, is there a way to remove all the sound configuration files so that i can reset the sound card fully [10:25] Nope soundray, I just want some drivers which work. :P [10:25] pw-toxic: ctl+insert for copy and shift+insert for paste [10:25] newfive, search for compiz config. Make sure you update your sources first. If that fails you might not have whatever repository the manager resides in enabled ( probably universe ) [10:25] i tried changing the setting too shredder12 [10:25] blanktheserver: are you on intrepid now? [10:25] divinesoul: well i don't have much idea reagarding it.. [10:26] yes soundray. [10:26] newfive: you are looking for ccsm (compiz config settings manager) [10:26] divinesoul: may be you are having trouble due to something else.. [10:26] !intrepid|blantheserver [10:26] blantheserver: 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 [10:26] blanktheserver: please try #ubuntu+1 then, as #ubuntu is strictly for released versions [10:26] Yes I know this soundray. [10:26] hello. Can remastersys be used to make my ubuntu cd with installation ability (and not only livecd)? [10:26] Is there a way to install OpenAL Soft on Ubuntu 8.04? [10:26] all i get is compizconfig-backend-gconf [10:27] outbackwifi: yes i am looking for compiz config settings manager but can't find it [10:27] outbackwifi: well this shortcut works but it is very slow.. the key is on the right top corner of my keyboard :D [10:27] blanktheserver: why do you still ask here, then?

[10:30] divinesoul: hey i don't think that you need to do it..just try posting your problem in some forums..or search for it a bit.. [10:30] bonk: you must have installed it from within firefox, so that's how you remove it, too. [10:30] hi [10:30] divinesoul: restoring to factory default..should be you last option.. [10:30] divinesoul: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [10:30] IcyPolecat, does this sound like the solution you're looking for? some one has a workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/91890 [10:32] soundray: like preferences->addons->plugins? [10:33] bonk: could be [10:34] bonk: well i think its actually the Tools->addons->plugins.. [10:34] bonk: there you will get options to disable as well as remove it.. [10:34] hi [10:35] yeah.. wish it was there though :) [10:36] I am trying to interface to MySQL from gnumeric on feisty. libgda2 is installed, but gnumeric says "Invalid expression" when I try to use =execSQL(). Is this enabled in any later version of Ubuntu? [10:37] bonk: what's the filename for futuresplash? It should say on the about:plugins page [10:38] m === kuthux is now known as Guest49072 === bob is now known as Guest30072 [10:38] soundray: it says libflashplayer.so === johnson is now known as Guest69251 [10:39] bonk: the futuresplash one? === Guest49072 is now known as kuthux [10:39] My sound is borked!

(A section being one that starts with a headline like "Shockwave Flash" and ends with that grey table. [10:41] ) [10:41] do installing compiz is a good idea? [10:41] anybody help me to clear the message [10:41] says "File name: libflashplayer.so (newline) Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124" and that's all [10:42] sorted it! turns out the resolvconf package was causing issues as was dhcp and (possibly) avahi - made the resolv.conf file readonly (very read only) and also changed some of the hooks in /etc/dhcp3/ and removed resolvconf package and it seems to be happy [10:42] bonk: there should be at least one other section with a title of "Default Plugin".

Can you highlight the entire page and paste it to http://paste.ubuntu.com please [10:46] Is there a menu somewhere that lets you make resizing draw a frame and doesn't resize anything until you've released the mouse button? [10:48] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58741/ [10:49] soundray: i tried to disable usb legacy support and it's worse, i'm not able to choose the language anymore [10:49] but in fact i'v got 2 options [10:49] pierre_ : what options? [10:49] xnv: open gconf-editor, go to /apps/metacity/general and tick the box for "reduced resources" [10:49] Legacy USB support and USB keyboard legacy support [10:49] and also USB mouse legacy support, but i don't think it's relevant for now [10:50] soundray: That appears to do more than just change resizing [10:50] pierre_: I had an Acer laptop once, and I had to fiddle with these settings to make Ubuntu install. Can't remember what I set it to, sorry. But I'd keep playing with this [10:50] xnv: that's the best I can offer [10:50] ok, thanks anyway [10:51] hi everyone\ [10:51] Lol, all the joining and leaving must drive you people mental [10:51] I have an AC97 sound card and get this error when running recordmydesktop from the terminal: Couldn't open PCM device hw:0 Error while opening/configuring soundcard hw:0,0 [10:51] soundray: Is that change supposed to take effect immediately, or only after an X restart?

Can anyone help me with this problem please? [10:53] hardy heron is 8.04 right? or is it gutsy gibbon? [10:53] the latest version anyway [10:54] 8.04 [10:54] bonk: can't see any conflicts, so that's not the problem, sorry. [10:54] Hey, I installed ubuntu 8 and had some probs and want to reinstall from the cd. How do I boot from the CD in Ubuntu? [10:54] ok [10:54] I'll check the ubuntu forums [10:55] chri1: you'll need to set your BIOS to boot from the CD [10:55] chri1: then just boot the machine with the CD in the tray === cfchris6_ is now known as cfchris6 [10:55] can anyone help me with my problem? [10:55] when I had vista on here, i hit f2 to get into the bios, but now, when i reboot ubuntu and hit f2, it just does a normal restart into ubuntu [10:55] whats that? [10:55] digitaldoll: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk-recordmydesktop/+bug/208139 [10:55] !ask [10:55] 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. :-) [10:56] chri1: :/ [10:56] chri1: you should hit F2 before you get to the grub menu [10:56] folks, can anyone help me please? [10:56] !ask redheat [10:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask redheat [10:56] !ask | redheat [10:56] redheat: 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. :-) [10:56] I did kuthux..I did ask [10:56] thanks legend2440 :-) [10:56] so, im in ubuntu. click restart. then immediatly start hitting f2? i thought i tried that,but ill try again. :) thanks, i may be back. [10:57] chri1: try esc or del too :p [10:57] redheat: so what's the prob [10:57] or f10 [10:57] k [10:57] maybe f2 was something vista-specific. [10:57] dude that is a bitchx script for freebsd [10:57] though it shouldn't be [10:57] redheat: wait 10 minutes. If you still don't get a reply, repeat or (better) rephrase your question [10:57] soundray: Didn't work [10:58] xnv: no, didn't do anything here, either (only removed animations) [10:58] ok, if you rolled up the main chat you'll find my question..it's a long one..yet again..my wireless USB network adapter won't connect to my wireless network..don't know why, no matter how many times I supply the password it just won't connect.. [10:58] xnv: are you actually using metacity? [10:58] the device is seen properly but it won't connect, and it does see my wireless network.. [10:58] redheat: first thing can you remove (temporarily) your encryption? See if the wireless is working at all? [10:58] !compaz [10:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about compaz [10:58] soundray: I'm using whatever Gnome uses [10:58] !compiz [10:58] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [10:59] it working, because I'm talking to you from my laptop which is connected to my wireless network.. [10:59] xnv: gnome can use either metacity or compiz. Compiz gets enabled when you turn Visual Effects on. [10:59] redheat: or set up another router or laptop - we need to determine if it's the driver for the wireless nic or WPA supplicant [10:59] * claps [11:00] redheat: I don't mean to verify the router as I'm sure that's fine :-) Just want to test the belkin without encryption first as there are many many layers to wireless config and we can remove some of them first by doing some simple tests [11:00] Hello, Why changing the session id if a user logged in? [11:00] xnv: what's set in System-Preferences-Appearance-Visual effects? [11:01] soundray: I'm not using Compiz [11:01] xnv: okay [11:01] icy, there is no problem with my router..it works perfectly fine with my other three devices connected to it, my iphone, my ps3 and my laptop..and I have 5 operating systems running on my desktop which is connected to my wireless dapter and they're all working fine, I have windows xp pro, windows vista business, mandrivaone, and opensuse11, and ubuntu..but it's ubuntu that is giving me a hard tiem [11:01] IcyPolecat: I found another solution to your DNS issue whilst you were away, don't know whether you'd find it preferable : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/91890 [11:01] *time [11:01] sorry [11:01] xnv: it seems that metacity isn't configurable in this way. You can use another window manager, but it is a bit of an operation [11:02] red take off the password and see if it works [11:02] you mean you want it open no encryption.. [11:02] yes.. [11:02] soundray: Yeah, nevermind then. I know Compiz can do it, but it's not worth its instability. [11:02] HI PPL [11:02] bytecode: thx - have already done the prepend trick as found it somewhere else - hope they fix the "bug" for Intrepid [11:03] xnv: you could try icewm, I think that's more configurable [11:03] IcyPolecat: glad you found a solution [11:03] i'm back, i found a PS2 keyboard and it's not working either [11:03] soundray: I like Gnome [11:03] !info icewm-gnome-support | xnv [11:03] xnv: icewm-gnome-support (source: icewm): GNOME support files for IceWM. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.33-1ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 10 kB, installed size 80 kB [11:03] xnv: it works with gnome ^^ [11:03] soundray: That doesn't mean it IS Gnome [11:04] redheat: yeah - I get that. But wireless under ubuntu is tricky enough eithout encryption and it is worthing seeing if the ubuntu machine can connect to an open wireless network first. If it cannot then the problem is most likely the driver. If it can then the problem is with WPA supplicant [11:04] e.g. Gnome works with KDE [11:04] xnv: it is *just* a window manager. You can use it to replace metacity, and you still have gnome. [11:05] xnv: btw, if I remember correctly, it was you who was looking for help here, so don't come across so smartalecky now. [11:05] ok folks, I'm back again after this brief respite.. [11:05] and? [11:06] now my network is open and I had to restart my desktop [11:06] just give me a couple of seconds [11:06] soundray: You're implying that if I install WM, nothing will change except how windows are handled under the hood. I think that's the wrong impression to give, which is why I'm being "smartalecky" [11:07] xnv: then don't be smart alecky and advise/discuss the issue [11:07] xnv: what I am implying is indeed correct. If you think that that is wrong, you should go and try it out before you second-guess me.

Anyway, enough time wasted. Lets move on. [11:15] xn1: the problem is now that you set out not to solve your issue, but to prove me wrong.

[11:23] IctPolecat I'm in work and the firewall is blocking ALL ports except 80 443 and 8080. I have a Ubuntu server at home that I wanted to tunnel all Google chat traffic from Pidgin through the tunnel to my home server [11:23] Slade13: good. Now you'll need to add that module to the blacklist to prevent it being loaded at boot time (or you can just run that command everytime) [11:23] does anyone know why a mouse would only half work in linux? I've tried with a touchpad and 2 mice and the result is the same: I can move the mouse and the cursor moves as it should but *sometimes*, events such as mouse-over or click or anything besides mouse-move do not register... it is is not lag as I can do the actions with the keyboard fine [11:23] I'm asking here as it's happened twice in ubuntu and has never happened in arch linux [11:23] IcyPolecat I'm in work and the firewall is blocking ALL ports except 80 443 and 8080.

Or you can tunnel ports direct - which do you need to do? [11:24] soundray: only graphics no code, sth like adobe inDesign and Illustrator [11:24] I created a document under ubuntu but it's not working under vista [11:24] soundray: how would I check? xorg.conf?

[11:25] Slade13: I know - just checking it now [11:25] fenerli7: don't know about arch, could be xorg.conf, if not, you'll have to check the X logs. [11:25] ok thanks icyPoleCat..it's working fine now.. === nutella_ is now known as adac [11:25] IcyPolecat I would prefer to tunnel the ports direct [11:25] it's called pastebin.com [11:25] IcyPolecat, ok [11:25] or is it ?

[11:28] link it red? [11:28] Venin: still could be either. Look up System-Preferences-Appearance-Visual Effects [11:28] mick02: you can then point your client at 127.0.0.1 [11:28] redheat: where? [11:28] by the way folks, I just posted it [11:28] link us to it [11:28] under the name redheat [11:28] oh ok sorry [11:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/58753/ [11:28] tyberion→ try uname -a [11:29] IcyPolecat, either i cant do that... im sorry but thanks for the help.. [11:29] IcyPolecat When you say local port are you talking about the port that the software uses ie 5222 for Pidgin or are you talking about one of the ports that is open on the firewall? [11:29] by the way folks, the scane for wireless devices is still going on..it hasn't stopped since I typed iwevent [11:29] uname -a gives: Linux client 2.6.20 #30 Fri Aug 8 time CEST 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [11:29] soundray: was off.. now set to normal [11:29] @magnetron [11:30] tyberion→ are you sure that "lsb_release -d" gives you nothing? please check spelling [11:30] mick02: the tunnel will go out over port 22 by default so you'll need to configure your router to forward port 8080 on your home IP to port 22 on your server then use: [11:30] Hi, I have a problem with JAVA apps and desktop effects. Many windows don't show its contents with desktop effects enabled [11:30] so folks, what you make of this whole scan thing [11:31] mick02: ssh -p 8080 -L 1234:localhost:5678 username@host [11:31] lsb_release: command not found [11:31] Slade13: why not? [11:31] Venin: okay, now that you've set your window manager to be compiz, you have to open gconf-editor and find the key /apps/compiz/plugins/move/allscreens/options/contrain_y and untick the box for it. [11:32] tyberion→ ok, as it's not ubuntu it's not really question for this channel. but it's obviously linux. i suggest you poke around in the file system until you find something [11:32] IcyPolecat, because im noobb.. and i cant do that.. i have a friend and he will help me... sure [11:32] Did anyone read my question? I have no idea how to ask my questions here, without appearing rude.. [11:32] soundray: yeah, ive done that before.. thanks.. what if i use the one without effects? i wanna set it for both options [11:33] redheat: mine looks like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/58756/ [11:33] A[A[A[A[A[A[A/SET term_force_colors ON [11:33] yeager_→ haha [11:34] Slade13: ok - the terminal can be a bit scary. In the mean time you can just run that command again should you need to - you only need to do it once when you turn your machine on [11:34] redheat: paste the output of "lspci -C network " and "ifconfig" [11:34] Venin: in metacity, you can move past the top by holding Alt and dragging the window. [11:34] no [11:34] or.. wait [11:34] Buttercup: have you got terminal access? [11:34] Buttercup→ just asking right out is perfectly fine. if anyone knows the answer, they'll answer. you might try asking again after at least 15 minutes [11:34] Buttercup: any error message when you run update manager? [11:35] yea I do [11:35] bugger it [11:35] IcyPolecat, i understand... its ok [11:35] <_moro_bana_> Buttercup: sudo apt-get update [11:35] soundray: now i get it.. it WAS set to effects.. so thats why it didnt work before [11:35] altdrag works fine in metacity.. thanks [11:35] Buttercup, #ubuntu+1 for info on updating to ibex [11:35] Venin: yes, you enabled effects when you set it from Off to Normal [11:36] Buttercup: what is the error message? [11:36] Venin: Alt-F7 mousemove also works [11:36] <_moro_bana_> Buttercup: apt-get upgrade [11:36] soundray: yeah.. i meant.. i was sure what the default was.. because i clicked something by accident [11:36] hehe [11:36] its an error from the latest hardy update; gdm conks out [11:36] for some reason i cannot eject my usbkey, by right clicking it, the option isent there anymore ?? i can only choose mount or umount, how do i eject it probely and how do i get the option back into my right click ? [11:36] zzzzz [11:37] I do not have any error messages, just a black screen and nothing more. Just can use the terminal [11:37] Buttercup: don't know if this will work before Intrepid is formally released but if you "apt-get install update-manager-core" and then run "do-release-upgrade" [11:37] Buttercup: but I really can't recommend a beta as a solution to GDM issues - it's not stable [11:38] xmagixx: it's been renamed because most USB memory devices don't physically eject [11:38] xmagixx: where did u have the option "eject" [11:38] hi [11:38] i can only eject cdrom lol [11:38] soundray: i dont understand quitly what you mean ? [11:38] yes [11:38] xmagixx: once you've umounted, the device is safe to remove. [11:38] kuthux: well when i right click, the eject option was below mount , just like when i right click my dvd drive [11:39] xmagixx: so umount serves the same purpose as the former "eject" option [11:39] Yea true but I dunno what to do else. No one's able to help without error message of course. I'm going to try your way now [11:39] Hey [11:39] soundray: ohh, weird, not that many days ago i had the ability to choose eject for it, must changed with some update then ?? [11:39] I need advise about user management. [11:39] Buttercup: do you get the boot menu, and if so have you tried booting to cmd line ? [11:40] xmagixx: maybe [11:40] IcyPolecat THe problem I'm having though is that port 22 is blocked by my work firewall so it can't even get as far as my home server [11:41] xmagixx: just curious, so what happened when u clicked the "eject" ? [11:41] what the point of the keyring wanting to save my wlan pass? [11:42] kuthux: well a small pop up at lower right cornor told me that the media was ejected probely and safely to remove [11:42] I have multiple users but they don't bother to log on/off everythime. [11:42] so I have 1 home dir, should I create sub dirs inside this home dir, or just tell them to log off when done. [11:43] xmagixx: interesting.. [11:43] kuthux: well there was alot of updates last 2 days, so meaby it's changed... now i can only choose mount umount. weird imo [11:44] rogan, kuthux, icyPolecat and magnetron, are you there guys.. [11:44] xmagixx: well i guess umount will technically do the same thing [11:44] cause I'm about to bust out of my head because of this problem.. [11:44] Ste1: if your users don't play with it, it makes it really hard to manage. You could try to force them into compliance: set a short-delay idle screen lock and explain the terrible consequences of impersonating someone on a computer. [11:45] you left right before they replied to you [11:45] redheat_: i'm here [11:45] Ste1: well, if this is just one shared computer , use "system->admin->user and groups" create yourself a account and use that, let the rest of them share the other account if they not interest it having there own [11:45] the connection got dropped because of that whole security issue [11:46] the belkin routers are not the most reliable..they have that problem of "if you screwed with their settings" they'll give you hard a time for a while, but they're solid on performance if you let them alone for a long time..it's all working fine now [11:46] ;p [11:46] ye they can share it, but I'm about to add their documents, so I gues I need to create a dir for each of them in the home dir? [11:46] folks, before we say anything I just wanna say thank you all ..really I appreciate it so much [11:46] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-troubleshoot-wireless-network-connection-in-ubuntu.html [11:47] I found the above webpage..would that help.. [11:47] well, the home/[username] dir would be better [11:48]  Ste1: home/[username] directory would be better [11:48] don't understand. [11:48] Ste1: in home each user have a folder that is there username , I login using "mec" username, my home directory is "home/mec" [11:49] Ste1: if you create the dirs in the home dir you will have permission problems [11:49] how do i get the group of my user to have read and write rights on files i upload? (with proftpd) [11:50] acemo set the umask [11:50] ikonia: i tried that but it seems to ignore that.. [11:50] acemo remember ftp's owner is ftp - not your own [11:51] acemo: most ftp servers run as the ftp user, not the user logged in [11:51] ikonia: could the ftp server be running as ftp and still create the files with the user as owner? [11:52] acemo depends on the ftp server, nomrlly yes [11:52] ahh okay [11:52] how to get v4l2 cam to work with gyachi in hardy ? [11:53] redheat_: yeah sorry - was on the phone. I'd say working through the steps outlined in that page will be helpful as will https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide [11:53] so should i create a home folder for the ftp user so i can make a .profile file or does it works different with ftp, www-data and the like services that don't normally have a home folder? [11:53] mick02: that's why you need port forwarding on your home router - forward one of the ports allowed out of you work lan to port 22 on your server === synax is now known as ^synax [11:57] <^synax> Anyone think they can help me with audio problems, I'm using a USB headset, it worked fine in the Live CD, but now it only seems to work with the login-sound and the test-sound, nothing else seems to work with it, plus ALSA gives off an error when I try using it.

[12:19] adac: :) thanks [12:19] Oprtz, no problem! [12:20] chemjeff: check the alternative terminals to see what else is happening [12:20] wow 8gb hd :) [12:20] this part its not working [12:20] <%= Posted #{@user.created_on - Time.now) ago %> [12:21] ikonia: i did, i get things like I/O error [12:21] chemjeff: is it possible it can't read the cd [12:21] chemjeff: have you verified the CD's contents witht he cd checker tool [12:21] ikonia: no because it starts the installation just fine [12:21] ikonia: yes the CD is just fine [12:22] chemjeff: just because it starts it doesn't mean it's fine [12:22] !pastebin [12:22] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

I have slackware 12.1 and I want to replace it with ubuntu. Can someone point me to a document describing this procedure? [12:23] ikonia: using the test from the main menu [12:23] hereis an example.....when I try to insert a picture...... http://paste.ubuntu.com/58765/ [12:23] chemjeff: that normally happens because it can't read the cd [12:23] anyone know why this is not working [12:23] <%= Posted #{@user.created_at - Time.now) ago %> [12:23] chemjeff: is it possible the drive is faulty [12:23] yt-RoR: what are you trying to do ?

I'm looking for some help with a USB stick installation of Ubuntu 8.10 Beta via unetbootin - I'd like to use the casper-rw file for persistency on the same (single) partition. It drops me to busybox, though. Any idea how to get it booting properly? [12:24] yt-RoR: thats down to the client your using then, get support from the client doc pages [12:24] ikonia: well i guess it is but i can hear the drive turn off during the installation and it's not at a point when it's trying to access the CD [12:24] client doc ? [12:24] danshtr: Basically just backup your data from slackware, and install ubuntu.. I don't see the need for further documentation really, unless it's something specific you're wondering [12:25] chemjeff: the livecd is squash fs in ram, so if it doesn't need to read the cdrom - it doesn't read it, hence why you hear the spin down [12:25] guys, is there any search command that will search for a file in all the directories? [12:25] gharz: find [12:26] find . -name filename [12:26] dns53: find / [12:26] ikonia: but it does try to read the CD at various points during the installation right? [12:26] all directories [12:26] chemjeff: depends on if it needs to swap (I suspect 300+ meg will need to swap a lot) [12:26] HI! is there anyway to run TCP/IP over usb between two ubuntu machines? [12:27] xarvh if you have tcp usb sticks, sure [12:27] ikonia: so is there an option i could give to the kernel or somewhere along the way that would force the CD-ROM to stay on? [12:27] network sticks I mean [12:27] chemjeff I don't think so as it's not "mounted" in the way your thinking, it's uncompressed into ram, [12:28] hows the off topic channel : [12:28] hmm [12:28] : [12:28] Dillizar: ask them [12:28] who [12:28] the offtopic channel [12:28] the name of the channel [12:28] chemjeff: This is an IDE-cdrom, isn't it? You should try passing the following to the kernel with advanced options: noapic /dev/sdX=cdrom [12:28] :D [12:28] ikonia: what about a cable? [12:28] Dillizar: ooh #ubuntu-offtyopic [12:28] 10x [12:28] Dillizar: ooh #ubuntu-offtopic [12:29] :D [12:29] xarvh: you'll need a cross over cable, yes [12:29] BlueEagle: would it be /dev/sd0? [12:29] or literally X? [12:29] I installed Ubuntu 8.10 Beta via unetbootin on a USB stick. I also created the casper-rw file on the same partition. When booting with "persistent", it drops me to busybox. Any idea how I can boot it properly? Couldn't find any info on the web. [12:29] BlueEagle: why would that help ? [12:29] chemjeff: It would be /dev/sdc in most cases. [12:29] !ibex > sdschwarz [12:29] sdschwarz, please see my private message [12:30] ikonia: xarvh means usb cable, point to point [12:30] ikonia: and once I have a cross-over cable will everything be obvious and easy? [12:30] fr0d0barkins: ooh, I thought he meant tcp usb network adaptors [12:30] I just tried printing to a Konica Minolta network printer. In the CUPS manager I set the default paper size to A4, but everytime I print something the printer complains about the wrong paper size (8½ x 11 inches) and I have to manually choose paper size on the printer.

[12:40] harish apache can serve multipe domains, you can have a single server host test.com and anothersite.net so you should specify what site it is serving [12:40] ok so as root user i do mis-nicked [12:40] such as the one that ubuntu uses? [12:41] adac: are u there ? [12:41] ikonia:can you please be descriptive.? [12:41] central: No mis-nicked is a term used in IRC when someone (ie. me) use the wrong nickname prefix. This often happens when one is about to answer a question and then comes to think of something one should have said to the previous question and thus the question appears to have the wrong address. === b0b is now known as mrbig4545 [12:41] anyone know the program tangerine ? my problem is that it only shares 9 songs, and not my hole libery [12:41] central: My question to you is why you want fsck to run at boot.

[12:43] I mean it doesn't react on laptop lid close [12:43] Oprtz, what does this command say: sudo smbmount //yourwinhost/downloads /mnt/mountfolder [12:43] testi suspend is usually a hardware/driver problem, perhaps they will fix some of the bugs in the next release [12:43] Is'nt there a pastebin-output-application in ubuntu sources? Like the wgetpaste [12:43] central: ie, you are aware that you can run fsck when the system has booted and check for errors. If you find an error you still need to manually use the recovery kernel to fix it. (unless it's a filesystem that is non-essential to run fsck, in which case you can just unmount the filesystem before checking and fixing.) [12:43] xarvh, i think the cable is different, not like usual usb cable [12:44] dns53: It's definitely not a hardware problem. It all works when I'm logged in. === x-punk is now known as mclure [12:44] testi: My own laptop does blank the screen when lid is closed. No suspend though but honestly I don't mind it.

[12:45] adac: can i pm u ? its 2 line answer [12:45] fr0d0barkins: indeed, it should be some sort of inverted usb cable. but if i don't have the software for using it, there's no point in buying it [12:45] and i can not unmount the filsystem when i am runing on it... [12:45] zulu34sx: Thankyou for not sending a /msg to me without asking for permission first.

[12:48] Ubuntu seems to be too stupid to aplly the settings globally. It just applies them for the local user and that's really not what I want because sometimes I close the laptop when it still boots or when I'm at the login screen.

[12:50] mrbig4545: I'd check either Ati's site for any hints on xen environments, or xen's site for hints on ati hardware. [12:50] central: no [12:50] mrbig4545: yea? where ? [12:50] : ) [12:50] Akhanu`: cheers [12:50] i got the source for linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-2.6.24.14 [12:50] sounds cool [12:50] and theres some patches in there, ill give them a try [12:50] mrbig4545: oh that's nice to know indeed. [12:50] yo yo yo [12:51] dont understand what to do to reach a guideline [12:51] im not sure its going to work, as it only adds xen as a supported arch, but i already tried that, but ill give it another try in a mo and let you know how it turns out!

[12:57] Okay, here's the deal. I've been working with Xorg for four years. This new version and its xorg.conf setup have got my head spinning. My resolution and driver were just fine until I rebooted. I've configured it with the "low graphics mode" dialog and a number of other things. nvidia-settings claims that my nvidia driver isn't actually enabled, and it doesn't appear to be, but Ubuntu seems to think it is. Furthermore, I can't obtain [12:57] (13:41:54) zulu34sx: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Animated+Desktop?content=88248 [12:57] (13:41:54) zulu34sx: I wanna get this working but i fail at step 5 because an error occurs...

[12:57] I'm on 8.04 [12:57] Draconicus: "I can't obtain" [12:58] okay thanks guys :D [12:58] Akhanu`: Any resolution higher than 640x480, despite having a very elaborately configured xorg.conf to say otherwise. [12:58] Draconicus: you could always try envyng-gtk [12:58] The most recent updates have stopped all sound, and games complain about my graphics card, has anyone heard about these issues? [12:58] ActionParsnip: What's that? [12:58] !envy | Draconicus [12:58] Draconicus: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [12:58] Draconicus: and that happens with any distro or just with ubuntu ? [12:58] Draconicus: sudo apt-get -y install envyng-gtk; gksudo envyng-gtk [12:59] Draconicus, what drivers have you installed? The nvidia binary ones? [12:59] Akhanu`: So far, just this particular installation of Ubuntu 8.04 on my system, and it was fine until I did an update and restarted. I don't recall updating any xorg stuff. [13:00] I restarted because various heavy memory leaks were destroying my system's performance. [13:00] zulu34sx→ just ask your questions straight out in the channel. what the other guy meant was: "don't message anyone without prior permission" [13:00] Draconicus what makes you think it's a memory leek [13:00] HI!can anyone tell me how to reinstall firefox with default setting?

As always, actually tracking the memory use proves useless. Nothing appears to be using enough to cause the drain, but I always see this when it happens. Killing the suspect processes always proves successful, so I can only assume... [13:03] actionparsnip, root is the owner [13:03] Computech use sudo [13:03] Draconicus: i run mine solidly for months and its fine [13:03] i want write rights in my nautilus [13:03] and i did it before with a line of code [13:04] i want to have the avi-playing wallpaper... the Link below doesn't work für me because, when I run step 5, i get the error "opción errónea"! [13:04] How can i get an animated wallpaper (video-wallpaper) anyway? [13:04] ActionParsnip: What's your secret? I run Xfce, Firefox, Pidgin, X-Chat, a few odd GTK apps here and there, some Java now and then... I don't do a lot, but my system gets bogtastical.

[13:05] seriously has nobody else had trouble with sound and video since the latest updates!? :( [13:05] thanks [13:05] ActionParsnip: Rather, DDR 200. [13:05] amanulla, it's ps2, no new keyboard, just the current one [13:05] Draconicus: not a bad system, depends what its for [13:05] ActionParsnip: I told you what it's for. [13:06] Akhanu - ip of host? [13:06] Draconicus: then its more than enough [13:06] kuthuk, rogan, icyPolarCat, magentron are you there folks? [13:06] jokeusa: as in "--to 192.168.1.54:3128" [13:06] Draconicus: you can do all that on a 700Mhz CPU with 1 Gb ram (eee pc) [13:06] ActionParsnip: So why the horrible performance I've experienced since updating to 8.04? [13:06] Akhanu` - ip:port as in 'ip' being the ip of this machine? [13:07] prodigel:are you getting this when trying to intsall ubuntu? [13:07] jokeusa: yes [13:07] no, it's already installed.

[13:07] ActionParsnip: This _is_ a clean install. [13:07] it won't connect to my wireless network.. [13:07] amanulla, I've had some previous problems with keyboard, and reinstalled gdm/X/gnome. maybe I forgot some packages. [13:07] Draconicus: oic, i thought you'd updated from gutsy [13:07] prodigel:so what you are saying ? you cant detect your keyboard? [13:08] no matter what, I have a belkin wireless adapter, connected via USB and no matter how many times I supplied a password it won't connect.. [13:08] ActionParsnip: I tried to. That was a disaster, so I reinstalled fresh, quite reluctantly. [13:08] Akhanu` : iptables v1.3.8: IP address not permitted [13:08] ActionParsnip: There's still a few apps I can't find anymore... [13:08] it does detect the network, and sees the wireless adapter as wlan0 but it won't connect\ [13:08] Draconicus: try reducing apps and services and remove some ttys will make it nicer [13:08] amanulla, I don't know how to try detecting it.

It runs on a PII system with a GeForce 4, something Fusion can only dream of. It's significantly lighter, regardless of enabled settings (fusion-side) because fusion runs a module for every plugin regardless of whether it's enabled or not.

[13:39] redheat_: ok when you scan, do wireless devices show up [13:39] redheat_: yes we did. From what I can see you can't get your wifi adapter to connect to your ap [13:39] ActionParsnip: Hey. I'm back. [13:39] How on EARTH can Xorg function with a blank xorg.conf? [13:39] jrib: i tried without which same error came. [13:39] yes the networks do show up..no matter how many times I try to login to my network it won't [13:39] Draconicus, with it's magical dracula powers of course :) [13:39] Draconicus: the new version apparently doesnt need it. It blew me away too. I always config it myself [13:39] it keeps asking me about the passphrase for my WPA and that's it.. [13:39] drago1: put "ServerName localhost". Does that work? [13:39] redheat_: do you use wpa? [13:40] redheat_, did this same wifi card work fine with your AP and windows before? [13:40] the two swirling greyed out [13:40] yes [13:40] redheat_ sounds like supplicant implementation issues. [13:40] redheat_: do you have the wpa supplicant installed [13:40] so what should I do in this case? and by the way I have tried to make it open, no security but to no avail..didn't work out [13:40] Akhanu` - that exact linky is about 'he machine with squid running is not the same machine as iptables is running on', which is pretty much the opposite of what im doing...but i'm checking the first few pages, maybe something there [13:41] I just installed ubuntu and I don't know what a wireless supplicant is? [13:41] !wpa | redheat_ [13:41] redheat_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:41] ActionParsnip: Well, you configure it yourself - maybe you can help. EnvyNG configured my xorg nice and shiny, with correct resolution. I know it's working, because now it goes out of the range of my monitor! I'm pretty sure it's because of the refresh rate, but adding @65 to my resolution tags doesn't work. Suggestions? [13:41] redheat_: if you use wpa you need the supplicant [13:41] ActionParsnip, is it possible to use an old wifi card that can at maximum, support WEP networks with a WPA-PSK network maybe with a suppliment? [13:42] jrib:apache server got started... but still not getting home page.......... [13:42] what was that? [13:42] jokeUsa: in a way it's the same thing. Just the redirection to another host involves playing with FORWARD chain, while when you're local, you don't need the FORWARD chain and you specify the squid-box-ip as your own host's ip. [13:42] drago1: clear the cache in your browser and then type 'localhost' [13:42] Draconicus: try setting the leftmost resolution i xorg.conf to 1024x768 [13:42] Draconicus: or try a silly low refresh like 50 [13:42] xomp: good point [13:43] hello.i need change MAC adrees on ubuntu for DHCP ip adresses for my internet. [13:43] ActionParsnip: Will adjusting it from nvidia-settings after that be a viable, permanent solution? How will I get to my 1600x1200? [13:43] Chinezu: you sound like you need to change 2 things? [13:43] Chinezu`: you can change it in /etc/network/interface file [13:43] hello. I setup my apache server on my computer and set the document root in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default to /home/iambob/web but when I go to http://localhost it gives me a 403 forbidden. I'm wondering if anyone knows what I can do to figure out how to fix this .. ? :) (without just using the localhost/~iambob and ~/public_html thing) [13:44] Draconicus: id get some kind of display using the drivers then build up [13:44] I have a problem with previewing mp3 files in nautilus , ogg FLAC and wav work when i hover the mouse, but not mp3's (mpg123 , mpg321 installed), any ideas ? [13:44] ActionParsnip: Good plan, but I've proven that 1600x1200@65 works... why won't it here? [13:45] ancientadm: I think he wants to change mac address because wherever the dhcp server is, checks for mac addresses before providing info the the connecting hosts. [13:45] delfick: You need to set the files as group readable and change the group of the files to the user the apache server runs as. [13:45] Akhanu`: MAC filtering... cool. [13:45] yap yap. nifty stuff [13:46] BlueEagle: it still isn't working :( [13:46] Akhanu`: my last network adapter is down and i change this adapter but dont speack my provider for change mac [13:46] its ok.... ty [13:46] ancientadm: that's a 'maybe' anyhow. that's how I read Chinezu`s question. [13:46] Chinezu` speak to yo8ur provider. lol [13:46] could someone guide me threw the installation of animated wallpapers as seen here: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Animated+Desktop?content=88248 PLEASE? [13:46] Problem: I'm stuck at step 5 with the error "opción errónea". [13:46] No help whatsoever..anyhow thank you guys for your kind help totally appreciate it.. [13:47] Chinezu`: hold on I check, I forgot the exact way to do what you need. [13:47] anyone live in japan? [13:47] jrib:sorry..some connection made me to log out.. ya typed but didnt work.do i need to re install apache...? [13:47] ActionParsnip: Action, i don't see any place in /etc/network/interfaces to change MAC... [13:47] drago1: no. Did you clear your browser's cache? [13:48] jrib:ya.. [13:48] ancientadm: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu.html [13:48] ActionParsnip: thanks =) [13:48] delfick: Has apache got access all the way along the directory structure? [13:49] ancientadm: simple websearch [13:49] Chinezu`: if your ethernet card is eth0, do: sudo ifconfig eth0 down ; sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:80:48:BA:d1:20 ; sudo ifconfig eth0 up [13:49] BlueEagle: how do I check? [13:49] Chinezu`: replace the mac address with your own [13:49] delfick: chown on each directory I would guess. [13:49] delfick: or ls -l on them to just check and not set. [13:49] ActionParsnip: i'm simply sleepy. :) [13:50] drago1: ps -ef | grep apache [13:50] ActionParsnip: I'll be back. :3 [13:50] ty all [13:50] hi [13:50] I need help with CHMOD, I'm a newbie and I need just following thing: I have tremded, a file in usr/... and I need to launch another tremded, that is in else directory... tremded launches the tremulous server and this script is written in start-server.cfg then I can just write ./start-server and it's launched. Friend told me to use chmod, but I don't know how, I need help please... start-server.cfg now looks like that: [13:50] hey, does anyone here use luks? i wonder if its possible to start the whole system with all drives with only one password? [13:50] #!/bin/sh [13:50] nohup ./tremulous-server & [13:51] Akhanu` - that manual speaks about 'httpd_accel_xxx', and tells me to uncomment them, but there are no signs of this in my squid.conf file :< [13:51] how to make iso of a file using console? or can i?, [13:51] Apparently something to do with differences between versions, squid3 has some new stuff/config [13:51] Kartagis: mkisofs [13:52] can anyone help me out?

[13:55] is there any way to remotely view/open an application that's already running? [13:55] BlueEagle: that last one is probably the problem as my home drive is on a seperate partition [13:55] Kartagis: mkisofs is a viritual package according to aptitude search. [13:55] ActionParsnip: I'm baaaack. [13:55] jrib: httpd (no pid file) not running......... is being displayed. [13:55] delfick: Is it mounted in such a way that non-root users can read it at all?

[13:56] delfick: Which filesystem is the partition and which options do you use when mounting it? [13:56] ActionParsnip: Well, here's the thing, I can run at 1024x768. Xorg.conf ignores the two @60 tagged resolutions in front of it. Also, I seem not to be using the nvidia driver still. No graphics acceleration. nvidia-settings says I'm not.

[13:57] hey. two questions. when i try to use aticonfig to set --dtop=dualhead or whatever, it goes to this very primitive mode supposedly without a window manager... how do i get dual head (dual monitor) setup on my comp WITH a window manager? [13:58] ActionParsnip: FX 5200. :< [13:58] Akhanu` - nope, not yet [13:58] Akhanu` - thx for today, bb [13:58] hey ActionParsnip. still frontline defense for Ubuntu? =) [13:58] jrib: in serivces ,its shown as being running....... [13:58] delfick: You could try #apache to see if they know more than I do. (which they most likely will) [13:59] BlueEagle: k then, thnx for the help :) [13:59] delfick: It's really an apache error and not ubuntu spesific as far as I can tell. [13:59] BlueEagle: what do you mean by "services"? [13:59] Draconicus: try nvidia-glx [13:59] drago1: what do you mean by "services"?

[14:23] Cim : as i said befor i want version 10 not 9 [14:23] zhangliang_: /join #ubuntu-cn [14:23] Pimpin: xkill in a terminal, and then click on it [14:23] zhangliang__: take your chinese to ubuntu-cn [14:23] poopuser check out http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/05/16/test-drive-flash-player-10-beta-in-ubuntu/ [14:23] zhangliang_ /join #ubuntu-cn [14:23] using kill command [14:23] jrib, k [14:23] poopuser: i'm not too sure if there's a flash 10 for ubuntu yet [14:24] #ubuntu-cn [14:24] thx all [14:24] zhangliang__: 不是你嗎﹖ [14:24] poopuser: you need to be more specific than "won't work" [14:24] /join #ubuntu-cn [14:24] thx mick02 [14:24] zhangliang_ /join #ubuntu-cn [14:24] when I run fetchmail I get an email asking for my password and the subject line as sudo -u news /usr/sbin/fetchmail [14:24] Pimpin: open up terminal type in sudo killall firefox %u [14:24] poopuser np [14:24] zhangliang__: type "/join #ubuntu-cn" [14:24] 怎么了？哥们！ [14:25] 在上班。。 ^^ [14:25] Any ideas why this wireless will connect to other networks, but not my own, which is WPA2 encrypted? I enter the correct key, but it just refuses it. [14:26] hmm, its strange, it says there are no firefox's processes, but when I am trying to open a new window, it says to close the existing one, cause firefox doesn't respond [14:26] hmm [14:26] Pimpin: ps -ef | grep firefox [14:26] Pimpin: you should try using the force quit feature === zhangliang__ is now known as asdfmaomao [14:26] I cant see the firefox tab to use it [14:26] Orbixx is there any MAC Address filtering? [14:26] No. [14:27] Pimpin: try logging out and back in [14:27] Pimpin: run ps -ef | grep fire in terminal [14:27] Pimpin: you will then see if its running [14:27] Orbixx if you change the encryption to WEP or WPA2 are you having the same problem (or is that an option?) [14:27] ActionParsnip, already and its running [14:27] hello. what otions are available for encrypting partitions with dm-crypt and luks. i see on some tutorials that --cipher aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 --key-size 256 is the "best"/"most used" option. is there something stronger than that? [14:27] I will log out then [14:28] Pimpin: then kill [14:28] jrib:did you see.......... [14:28] is there any command to know currently running processes [14:28] jrib:sorry did you see.......... [14:29] amanulla: in a terminal ps aux [14:29] amanulla try typing ps -ef in terminal [14:29] amanulla: you can do ps -ax but thats a long list, you might like top which shows the most resource intensive programs [14:29] What filesystem is best to have on a SSD disk? [14:29] amanulla: you can try using the system monitor [14:29] askand: probably fat, for portability [14:29] drago1: you need to give me the link to your paste [14:29] amanulla: for look for a specific one try ps aux | grep your_search [14:29] ok [14:30] askand: depends, if you are running put linux, ext2. If its to go in windows boxes too then ntfs [14:30] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58806/ [14:30] ActionParsnip: Its linux, ext2 is better then ext3? [14:31] during boot, the graphical screen goes to textmode boot. how can i find out why this happens? [14:31] askand: ext3 writes journal, which might cause more wear and tear than you want, ext2 less so [14:31] drago1: it's still installed. You need to purge it [14:31] askand: its not got a journal so you'll get more space, ext3 is better for drives as the jounal helps disaster recovery as well as other stuff. the journal is kinda pointless for SD cards unless they are like 2GB + [14:32] hi, I have weird problem with shift key [14:32] chaddy: ActionParsnip: ok thanks [14:32] when I press it [14:32] it's active for some time, so when i press some key few seconds after pressing shift i get the capital letter.... [14:33] and after pressing it twice it works like caps lock. anybody knows how to turn it off? ;] [14:34] askand: windows is funny about none ms filesystems so go for ntfs if you've got some windows boxes [14:34] during boot, the graphical screen goes to textmode boot. how can i find out why this happens? [14:34] lol 1343 users :D [14:34] hi [14:34] when is the new version coming out [14:34] blomo: are you using intrepid? [14:34] pawan: 30th [14:34] pa30.10 [14:34] lexrupy1, yes [14:35] ActionParsnip: nope no windows :) but ext2 is the best? No other linuxfilesystems that is better? [14:35] pawan in 13 days [14:35] !intrepid | blomo [14:35] blomo: 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 [14:35] hi, i am unable to play songs from a site which pops up a real player... [14:35] lexrupy1, thx [14:35] oh i had forgotten, ... hi to all [14:35] gnite everyone [14:35] askand, ext3 more reliable [14:35] jrib:ya apache server is started...and on browser, IT WORKS! is the o/p...not the home page.. [14:35] CerebrosuS, hello there [14:36] askand: itll wear your disk less and give you the extra space [14:36] drago1: ok. Now you need to troubleshoot php. It's most likely related to that clam error. What does this return: aptitude search '~i~nclam' [14:36] voland: reliable how? [14:37] arvind_khadri: do you have the right codec for the stream? what messages do you get? [14:38] ActionParsnip, i dont get any error...i just wanted some help on getting the real player plugin [14:38] jrib:http://paste.ubuntu.com/58809/ check this link for o/p [14:38] drago1: you don't want clam right? [14:38] jrib:no.... [14:38] drago1: purge it [14:40] askand, more secure and tolerant to power downs [14:40] Can an installation of Mediwiki hold more than two sites? [14:41] askand, I heard rumors that new ext4 better we've ever had but can not check it :) [14:41] jrib:done... [14:41] drago1: then install php again and restart apache [14:42] I try it again now, maybe nobody knew how to help me... [14:42] (14:46:47) zulu34sx: could someone guide me threw the installation of animated wallpapers as seen here: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Animated+Desktop?content=88248 PLEASE?

[14:43] askand: id go have a look what the actual difference between ext2 and 3 is [14:43] ActionParsnip, thanks [14:43] i dont have the error in english [14:43] im german [14:44] and installed a LINUX MINT 5 in english [14:44] askand, oh in thar case yes. If you don't need journal choose ext2. I've never use reiser or xfs so I can't say anything about them. [14:44] but the error comes from the file i downloaded from that link below [14:45] jrib:is this pkg?libapache2-mod-bt (BitTorrent tracker for the Apache2 web server) [14:46] drago1: no, it's the one you just purged: libapache2-mod-php5 and php5 too === Pici` is now known as Pici [14:47] hello people [14:47] i am a meat popscicle [14:47] hey, i'm using ubuntu 8.04 on a xps m1330, for some reason the digitial microphone is really quiet... Anyone got any ideas how to make it louder? I've tried alsorts in the mixer [14:47] jrib:this was recommended for php5 and there is no such libapache2-mod-php5 in synaptic mgr... [14:47] any screen gurus around? Is there a way to send a command to all sessions, simultaneously? [14:47] ActionParsnip, the bot points to 6.10 documentation [14:48] i was about to file a bug report on totem but thought i might ask if it's a known issue [14:48] ActionParsnip, its ok anyways i found the .deb for real player [14:48] is version 7.04 stable? [14:48] 8.04 [14:49] for a web server. or shoudl I use latest version? [14:49] drago1: look at what you pasted before: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58806/ you need that package installed again [14:49] anybody fairly familiar with totem? [14:49] saml, use a server edition 8.04 [14:49] drago1: use apt-get, not synaptic [14:49] saml: yes its stable [14:49] saml, use the latest version [14:49] https://scalr.net/faq.html i'm not sure why they use version 7.04 (at the bottom of page) [14:49] Hey, has anyone got Domino running on Ubuntu as their mail server? If so what way or how do you back it up? [14:49] saml: id get hardy or wait a fortnight for intrepid [14:50] any girls online [14:50] !offtopic | kumar [14:50] kumar: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [14:50] saml, probably becasue thats what was current when they set it up [14:50] hey spesk in english [14:50] not a pick up place [14:51] hi all, im newby in ubuntu and in irc ... how can i install qip on ubuntu ? [14:51] hey, i'm using ubuntu 8.04 on a xps m1330, for some reason the digitial microphone is really quiet... Anyone got any ideas how to make it louder? I've tried alsorts in the mixer [14:51] hey i wanna know the difference between kernel 2.6.24(hardy kernel) and the new kernel in intrepid [14:51] DaveG|: crank the mic boost [14:51] saml, for servers, i recommend server edition 8.04 (this is a last stable version\0 [14:51] Mo have you tried sudo apt-get install qip [14:52] quick question [14:52] why are the tremulous packages in the multiverse repository? tremulous is gpl [14:52] ActionParsnip, where's the mic boost? there isn't one [14:52] mick, no ... shall i write it in terminal ? [14:52] Yep [14:52] jrib:see o/p at http://paste.ubuntu.com/58814/ [14:52] DaveG|: not sure in gnome, id look into it in gnome === wjs_ltop_ is now known as wjs_ltop [14:53] Hi, I'm having a problem with my network adapter. for some reason there is an ip assigned to my eth0 when its not plugged into a jack and its not staticly assigned. This is a problem becasue its default gateway is causing problems with my Wlan0 adapter. === viviersf is now known as viviersf{weekend [14:53] DaveG|: sounds like the answer, if mic boost is zero generally its very quiet [14:53] can i use pidgin as an qip client ? [14:53] Whitor have you tried to tried dropping the connection and bringing it back up? [14:53] whitor | maybe you have dhcpd [14:53] drago1: ok, restart apache [14:54] drago1: I'll be back in a few if you still have issues [14:54] mick02, yeah, that works until the next reboot [14:54] jrib: ok........... [14:54] jorge_, it is set for dhcp ... but its not plugged into anything [14:55] Whitor so you're getting an IP address even though there's no physical connection to the router? [14:55] so ubuntu shouldn't assign an ip to it [14:55] mick02, yeah [14:55] Why does Totem freeze for a few secs on startup if internet goes down? It's as if it's trying to load some internet address on startup.. [14:55] Whitor what happens if you do sudo etc/init.d/networking restart [14:56] mick02: you always get an ip, you will get 162.254.x.y as the dhcp fail ip address [14:56] stardrop: you're accessing remote files to view ? [14:56] Whitor | if it's not plugged in so bring down the interface [14:56] nope..not remote..just local file [14:56] mick02: you always get an ip, you will get 162.254.x.y as the dhcp fail ip address [14:56] isnt that 169.254.x.y? [14:56] it freezes for a couple of secs then it loads the file [14:57] jorge_, yeah... That works... but I shouldn't have to jump throught those hoops every time I rebot my computer [14:57] reboot* [14:57] stardrop: it might search any online database for filling information on album, artist, etc. [14:57] stardrop: for what's being currently plaied. [14:57] Whitor What IP address are you getting when your PC boots up? [14:57] Whitor | use the config file [14:58] jackmcbarn: thats what i mean, i was trying to remember the 1st octet so took a stab [14:58] mick02, I'm getting the ip that /was/ previously obtained via dhcp ... its like its 'sticking' [14:58] Whitor So you're not getting the 162.254.x.y IP that was mentioned? [14:58] bizzare [14:58] jrib: hey are you there....? [14:58] Whitor: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [14:58] Whitor: are you using static ip? [14:58] Akhanu: i'm playing movies, it kinda freaks me out...feels like it's calling home [14:59] mick02, no... not from that subnet pool [14:59] ActionParsnip, nope, dhcp [14:59] Whitor-> if its 169.x.x.x it is those bogus link ip address that are non routable [14:59] Akhanu`: also quite annoying, since my internet is not very reliable [14:59] stardrop: naaah. It it were, .you'd know it big time from the many who find pleasure sniffing their own network. ;) [14:59] n8tuser, its 192.168.my.iprange [14:59] (if it were*) [14:59] drago1: yes [14:59] Whitor-> then its valid ip address [15:00] Whitor can you post the output of your interfaces file to pastebin ... /etc/network/interfaces [15:00] is there a way to restore only system file in ubuntu like restore point in xp [15:01] jrib:now i need to execute php pgm written using this server.. how to achieve? [15:01] again - when i try to use aticonfig to set --initial=dualhead or whatever, it goes to this very primitive mode supposedly without a window manager... how do i get dual head (dual monitor) setup on my comp WITH a window manager? i have fglrx / aticonfig, & propertiery drivers, & a Radeon HD 2600 [15:01] Whitor: you can make sure with: sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old [15:01] Whitor: then reboot [15:01] drago1: what is "pgm"? [15:01] !reatore [15:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about reatore [15:01] !restore [15:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about restore [15:01] mick02, http://pastebin.com/m7ec36988 [15:01] jrib:sorry.... program [15:02] Akhanu`: heh heh..thanks for the help [15:02] (lol: proprietary*) [15:02] drago1: do you just want to load a page written in php on your server or do you want to run a php script on the command line? === Tonio___ is now known as Tonio_ [15:02] is there a way to restore only system file in ubuntu like restore point in xp [15:02] only replacing system files [15:02] amanulla: no, not that I know of [15:02] amanulla: why though? [15:02] jrib: just want to load a page written in php on your server [15:03] is there a good mp3 player with equalizer just like winamp in windows that plays also video ? [15:03] The real problem is that there are two routes for 0.0.0.0 ... both to the same gateway, but each through a different interface .. one interface which isn't really active ... [15:03] drago1: write a php page, drop it in /var/www/ and go to localhost/phppage_or_whatever [15:03] Whitor try adding 'auto eth0' (without quotes) underneath line 11 then do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [15:03] stardrop: I experience that as you, when I play anything that's remote. That is, If I'm browsing a remote host and play media with totem from it, totem always frezes for a couple of seconds at start. [15:04] what happens if I have evoultion on two computers both with the same gmailaccount, will the mail get to both evolutions? [15:04] mick02, was also thinking of taking out the inet .... part of the eth0 line ... Does that tell the system to use it as a gateway to the internet ? [15:04] askand: :s [15:04] 0_o [15:05] khalood: :S [15:05] Whitor just wondering, is there any reason that you can't give eth0 a static IP address [15:05] askand: lol [15:05] Whitor: you could assign static ip data [15:05] askand: of course it will [15:05] askand: just make it not to delete the email from the server [15:05] askand, if you use IMAP all your mail clients will see the same mail, gmail has IMAP available [15:05] ActionParsnip, am getting a segfault for the plugins... i [15:06] ActionParsnip I think we're on the same line!!! [15:06] mick02, It is possible... but not my prefered route [15:06] is there a good mp3 player with equalizer just like winamp in windows that plays also video ? [15:06] CyberMime: But imap does not get mail and make them avaible offline? [15:06] Whitor have you done what I suggested above? [15:06] !xmms [15:06] xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [15:06] mick02, working on it :) [15:06] hello, I have a system with an amd64 live cpu, however that cpu doesn't seem to run 64bit distros [15:06] !player | khalood [15:06] khalood: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [15:07] Whitor Let me know when you've got it done [15:07] ActionParsnip, any ideas? [15:07] Oooh ,, then what is the best among them ?? [15:07] arvind_khadri: which plugins? [15:07] !best | khalood [15:07] khalood: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:07] ActionParsnip: lol , u always make bots answer for u !? [15:08] jrib: ya did that.stored in /var/www/html/php...but at browser...o/p is The requested URL /php was not found on this server(url-Thttp://localhost/php) [15:08] ActionParsnip, the totem and the real player [15:08] drago1: that would be http://localhost/html/php [15:08] ActionParsnip: I mean , winamp plays video and audio and has a good looking [15:08] mick02, got a big [Fail] when ading that line then restarting networking ... [15:08] khalood: they are there for a reason. saves me typing the same thing lots [15:08] guys..I've downloaded the drivers for my wireless adapter from ralink.com the chipset manufacturer..how can I install them [15:09] something about interface eth0 declared allow-auto twice [15:09] ActionParsnip: yeah I see :) [15:09] whats ubuntu gnomes basic applet to show the battery for laptops? [15:09] khalood: try a few, you can uninstall if you dont like them [15:09] ActionParsnip: uninstall !? I think i should learn how to install first [15:09] khalood: i like amarok but i use kde, one similar is banshee, millions love it, millions hate it [15:09] ActionParsnip: lol [15:10] khalood: sudo apt-get install [15:10] Hello! I've installed ssmtp so that when a cron job fails, it sends mail to my gmail. But now when a user that is not in sudoers uses sudo, it tries to send mail with ssmtp to postmaster@myhost... wich fails.. what can I do to prevent this? [15:10] ActionParsnip: that downloads and installs it ? [15:10] guys can anyone help if possible? how to install the wireless drivers for my wireless card? [15:10] Whitor I'm a bit stumped. Can you paste the details of ifconfig to pastebin please [15:10] redheat_: most probably you'd extract the files from the .tar.gz file. Then complile the kernel module, which might require only the kernel headers, or the worst case, the entire new kernel. [15:10] khalood: totally [15:11] ActionParsnip: :) thanks dude [15:11] is there a way to reinstall synaptic manager? [15:11] only [15:11] !wifi [15:11] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:11] it is the compile that scares me, don't know how to do that? [15:11] redheat_, ^^^ [15:11] redheat_: where did you get the driver from? paste the link [15:11] redheat_: recompiling is a cinch there are good guides all over [15:12] http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html [15:12] redheat_: typically it just involves turning on an extra option then recompiling and inserting so grub can find === m0rph3u5 is now known as M1CH3L3 [15:12] how is this supposed to be "user friendly" I don't know yet [15:12] jrib:ok...Thanks for ur help for such a long time... [15:12] redheat_: its not the same for everyone [15:12] I mean you're asking a lot from an ordinary end user.. [15:13] mick02, http://pastebin.com/m113e7b57 [15:13] redheat_: which of those is yours ? [15:13] no mate, I don't mean me..I mean the whole thing [15:13] redheat_: because for users who dont need those options they wont have a bloated kernel... trust me its like 4 steps and your done its not as overwhelming as it sounds [15:13] redheat_: if you do a fresh install of windows im sure lots of hardware wont work [15:13] rt2870 usb [15:13] drago1: no problem [15:14] actually, and just for honesty's sake, the only thing taht needed driver was that ill-fated piece of excrement AHCI by gigabyte.. [15:14] redheat_: hehe. well... it's still a young experience to have such things transfered from the developers to the users. Users are growing fast. Till late few botherd to make drivers abailable for linux. Allow the distros to catch up and incorporate the drivers by default, won't ya? :p [15:14] symptoms of the problem: http://pastebin.com/m1c54c9b9 [15:15] Whitor I'm stumped, I've no idea why this is happening. THe best advice I can give you now is to check out www.Google.com ... sorry bru [15:15] not much, but take this for example, Creative is still freakingly laggin behind on linux drivers [15:16] I mean they suck beyond imagination on their drivers.. [15:16] heh. good. I'm glad I'm not the only stumped one... I'll start digging through google. Thanks a lot ! [15:16] even those meant for vista [15:16] I tried to install ssh and I get [15:16] ssh: Depends: openssh-server but it is not going to be installed [15:16] (hardy) [15:16] why? [15:16] jatt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:16] redheat_: if you would like to rant about lack of driver support, please do so in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:16] redheat_: then dont buy their stuff [15:16] #ubuntu-it [15:16] jatt→ you need to run "sudo apt-get update" [15:16] can't, they're the best [15:16] redheat_: thats speculative [15:16] jatt: type in sudo apt-get install openssh-server, its the same thing as ssh [15:16] jatt: ssh is in by default, you probably want sshd, which is provided by openssh-server [15:16] hi all, Hardy here on IBM thinkpad r52. I am recently having problem that whenever I insert the first cdrom after reboot name of the cd-rom does not change even when I replace the cd-rom with another. Did anybody get similar problem? [15:17] redheat_: id take a turtlebeach any day over a creative [15:17] and for that reason alone I have OS running on my system, xp pro, vista business, opensuse, ubuntu and mandriva [15:17] redheat_: to me they are the "best" [15:17] redheat_: it is a shame thatevery driver under the sun isn't yet available, but we're doing well, there are a lot of devices that are catered for by default under the kernel, and the fact that there is often the facility to compile your own drivers is an added bonus. [15:17] there's that new thing ..magicOS [15:17] redheat_, ActionParsnip: maybe you could take this non-support discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic and continue it there, please? [15:17] is there a way to reinstall my [15:17] synaptic package manager?] [15:18] yeah..but turtle beach..they're still in business? last time I heard that was like in 1998 when they made that, well it rocked at the time, matrox sound card [15:18] redheat_: don't be scared of compiling and learning new things - it puts the power back in your hands, not the corporations hands [15:18] redheat_, ActionParsnip: maybe you could take this non-support discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic and continue it there, please?

[15:20] n8tuser, the problem is that one nic is getting an ip and assining a route to it, when its not plugged into an ethernet line [15:20] no I was asking Action about how to install my wireless adapter drivers [15:20] redheat_: From what I just saw, do exactly as the README says and you should be fine [15:20] redheat_: ok what was that lsusb line again please [15:20] i have a realtek sound card, but, i did'nt record any sound.... [15:21] roger..one minute [15:21] the result of which is that two nics have two gateways [15:21] Whitor-> i have not seen your interfaces file, can you repaste it? [15:21] redheat_: it's an usb wifi adapter ? [15:21] yep.. [15:21] Whitor-> include the results of your netstat -ran [15:21] ok the line goes like this.. [15:21] n8tuser, do'nt worry about it ... 8.10 is coming out in a few days ... I'll poke around, see what I can find before then ... and hope that 8.10 fixes it if I can't before then [15:21] redheat_: oh. Never plaied with one of those.

[15:27] Rideh I click choose flies I selected my files and then it just sits at 0% nothing happening.... [15:28] maphilli14: ask away [15:28] redheat_: I know that there was a problem on 8.04 whereby the default driver performed badly, < 1mbps, but once you follow the guides it's fine. and I was scared to uninstall NM, but it was fine. You can even manage your network manually without NM if you really wanted to (not that you need to) [15:29] roger that Actiona and thank you Akhanu for all the help..with that in mind, it brings back the bad old days of compiling the nvidia driver before envy was around or it was already around but it had a lot of quirks..

[15:36] chadeldridge: I'd say if the script itself is set with root:root ownership, there shouldn't be problems. [15:36] maphilli14: sure, use pastebin [15:36] chadeldridge: also, is it root's cron or some other user's cron ? [15:36] !postfix [15:36] postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu.

[15:38] then perhaps 8.10 isn't recognizing my on board netwrk card [15:38] idk [15:38] chadeldridge: then your srcipt will be run as beloging to that user.

[15:44] anabolix: LXF (Linux Format Magazine) did an article a while back where they compared. There is a time limited evaluation of Cedega available as per this link from LXF http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Cedega [15:44] amanulla: use pastebin. this is not the first time we have told you [15:44] chadeldridge: What I'd do, is copy that line, save it somewhere temporary. Then remove the setting from your kcron configuration. Then get root access with "sudo bash". And last, type "crontab -e" (as root this time) and paste there that line of before. [15:44] ActionParsnip: can you help me? [15:44] i tried to install windows , and and i put windows CD , and i didnt installed or format any partition , after i installed grub again and tried to open NTFS partition that i have , it tell me that it cant mount it !!! [15:44] amanulla: the output is garbled, use pastebin [15:44] i have got a "realtekHD" sound card, but, i didn't record any sounds....... [15:44] !pm > kebomix [15:44] kebomix, please see my private message [15:44] sweet thanks [15:44] lyk3n: probably broke something. the intracies of your current wine config are not known to me [15:45] VBNewUser: you'd need to set the network card to promiscuous mode to catch all data [15:45] chadeldridge: after saving and opting out from "crontab -e" you'd have that same entry in the root's crontab, not the users. [15:45] amanulla: to edit it use gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst you forgot the gedit part [15:45] ActionParsnip: I have done that. [15:45] any one help me plz [15:45] The problem is that VirtualBox is different from VMware [15:45] jrboome_: ok, thanks tho [15:45] i will lose important data [15:45] VBNewUser: then you may need to set the host as promiscuous too, ive never done it myself but it makes sense [15:46] kebomix: restore from backup [15:46] how to do that ? [15:46] ActionParsnip: can you redirect me to someone who is an expert on bridging? [15:46] i have a sound in .amr format but my media players(vlc,totem) dont support this kind of files... is there anything else i can use? [15:46] legend2440:ok i got it [15:46] the bridge behaves differently from a hub. [15:46] kebomix: just reverse whatever backup mechanism you have in place [15:46] so it does not forward all data to each and every port on the bridge. [15:46] chadeldridge: WARNING! In the crontab line, put the full path of the script! [15:46] I need all the data on one of the ports. [15:46] VBNewUser: was linking someone to bridging the other day, give me a mo and I'll find the link [15:46] i dont hAVE pack up [15:47] kebomix: then its not that important is it [15:47] chaddy: Thanks. [15:47] chaddy: I will wait for your message. [15:47] i gotta go get food. peace out kids [15:47] it tell me that when i try to mount partition ( cant mount ) You are not privileged to mount the volume 'Mixed'. [15:47] it is very important [15:47] VBNewUser: this might be helpful: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man5/bridge-utils-interfaces.html [15:47] i think i got it .. thanks [15:47] i didnt format or do something ! , why it dont open ? [15:48] i did this and same thing, aborted state: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv restart [15:48] hi all, Hardy here on IBM thinkpad r52. I am recently having problem that whenever I insert the first cdrom after reboot name of the cd-rom does not change even when I replace the cd-rom with another. Did anybody get similar problem?

[15:50] I don't think that has any answers for me. [15:50] I am looking at changing the behaviour of the bridge and make it behave like a hub for one port. [15:51] im sorry . im just in big problem ever , im losing all data [15:51] In other words this is like the port mirroring functionality on a switch. [15:51] ahh, well, more advanced than my knowledge, VBNewUser [15:51] VBNewUser:what you want? [15:51] chaddy: Can you recommend me some other place where I could get some info? [15:51] bye guys [15:51] VBNewUser: the google [15:51] amanulla: I need to get one of my virtual interfaces to get all the traffic for sniffing [15:52] by default, bridge does not forward that (it is something like a switch) [15:52] VBNewUser:sorry i cant get what you are saying [15:52] since I am using Virtual Machines (using VirtualBox) [15:52] ...I would like to sniff traffic between these virtual machines. [15:53] how much ram is yours? [15:53] and one of my VMs is acting like a sniffer.

[15:55] VBNewUser→ you could use Wireshark [15:55] cpu_temp-> you have run out of file descriptors? [15:56] Hi - I have a few networked printers shared via CUPS and HP JetDirect print servers. After these printers go into power saving mode, they must be manually woken up in order to print from Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 clients - (of course, old Windows98 boxes wake them up just fine) - How do I ensure that these printers are 'woked up' when a job is submitted from a Hardy client? [15:56] Hi, I installed OpenOffice.org 3, but I don't know how tu excecute it? (It's not on the menu, i'm using ICEWM) [15:57] id did dmesg | grep eth and it returns Driver 'sr' needs updating and the same for driver sd [15:57] hernan: you used a .deb file for that ? [15:57] n8tuser: dont know about file descriptors anithing. I just know that "ulimit -n" gives still 1024 after writing "* hard nofiles 65535" in limits.conf and using sysctl method and that I get "too many open files" message === |Jelly|Ghost is now known as |Jelly| [15:58] Akhanu: yes, I make a local repos, and then from synaptic [15:58] cpu_temp-> if you dont know what a file descriptor is, kindly read a c programming book, also The maximum number of open file descriptors (most systems do not allow this value to be set) [15:58] hi [15:58] hernan: First I'd browse the .deb file you got and see where does it put the executable binaries. And then call one of those from the command line. [15:59] is Xubuntu vastly different to Ubuntu? [15:59] I'm working on a java project that implements a multiplayer server, can I run that on ubuntu?

I make a local repos because there are a lot of packages [16:00] VBNewUser→ you are using virtualbox. right? [16:00] the problem is due to the bridge, one VM cannot see the traffic between other two VMs [16:00] Yes Virtualbox [16:00] VBNewUser→ i assumed you would run this on the host. [16:00] No...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [16:02] magnetron: I thought the bridge-utils would have some hack to achieve this. [16:03] hernan: "ooffice" doesn't do it? [16:03] !patience |Symbiote [16:03] Symbiote: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [16:03] ok [16:03] Symbiote:whats your problem? [16:03] sorry for that :) [16:03] How do I setup my LAN for 2 - 4 'puters through Router? [16:03] n8tuser: well obviously we`re talking about ubuntu not about some other system. I tryied the sysctl method and wrote in limits.conf and it still doesnt change the ulimit -n. I goes on RHEL, gentoo etc. So I`m just asking what must I do in ubuntu different to change ulimits -n permanentely? [16:03] scribawf: just connect them to the router if it has 4 ports [16:04] legend244. tanx [16:04] Akhanu, this command opens oo2.4 [16:04] when I use NDISwrapper on my installation of Kubuntu 8.04, (command 'sudo ndiswrapper -i mrv8000c.inf', mrv8000c.inf is in the directory I am operating in) and I get the following error: 'couldn't open mrv8000c.inf: no such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.9 line 219.' [16:04] outbackwifi; Yop done that but dont see 'em on network connections! [16:04] scribawf: the easiest way is to get 4 utp cables and connect them to your router [16:04] anyone have a working fix for FF3's scrolling issues on nVidia/Compiz? [16:04] what are some "Must Have" apps for ubuntu? [16:04] hernan: well yea, but thought there cold be a link by that name to the new executable. [16:05] join #beers [16:05] OK, well hardware for LAN/ROUTER is all OK and setup (worked fine on WinBlows} [16:05] have a nice weekend everyone [16:05] sorry my internet dropped [16:05] you to VBn [16:05] scribawf: the router is linux or anything else ? [16:05] How can I disable/remove the suggestion list for the firefox address bar? I'm not sure if this is something that is included via that ubuntu modifications extension or what. [16:06] <^synax> soho: If you're into icing, and you havn't came across it somehow, Compiz. ;) [16:06] Akhanu, I'll try a bit more [16:06] when I use NDISwrapper on my installation of Kubuntu 8.04, (command 'sudo ndiswrapper -i mrv8000c.inf', mrv8000c.inf is in the directory I am operating in) and I get the following error: 'couldn't open mrv8000c.inf: no such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.9 line 219.' [16:06] um, well router is WRTG54 to ISP OK, but how 'bout my other PC's that is on LAN? === ubuntu is now known as sexykiller [16:07] scribawf: do they all have the same network group [16:07] scribawf: when you said in windows it's ok, what does that mean? these other computers, when booting windows work, when booting linux don't ? === datacrusher is now known as dtcrshr [16:07] <^synax> Anyone, configuring ALSA/PulseAudio to work with Wine? [16:08] compiz is great! [16:08] how can i find out what version my compiz is? [16:08] <^synax> ^ Indeed. ;) [16:08] well, works fine on my LAN for all my other 'puters using Mshome as workgroup [16:08] scribawf: can you ping each computer seperatly [16:08] soho: apt-cache policy compiz [16:08] Akhanu, I'll try from GNOME, tanx an c u later [16:08] well, guess I'm not up to speed on that! - Pinging, that is [16:09] <^synax> soho: Try getting the Compiz Fusion Icon from the package manager, if you havn't, it allows a lot more customization. [16:09] type in terminal ping ip adress first computer [16:09] scribawf: replace ip address by the real address [16:09] scribawf: depends a lot how the router does the ip address assignment and how the computers are configured. I'd guess, you have the windows side setup to get ips automatically, and the router provides dhcp service. [16:09] hmm, and let me see how do I find IP address on 1st 'puter? [16:10] scribawf: ifconfig [16:10] has anyone tried intrepid-ibex? [16:10] scribawf: in terminal also [16:10] scribawf: all things in theory, in linux should work just the same. [16:10] OK will try that (ifconfig) 1st [16:10] !8.10 |soho [16:10] soho: 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 [16:10] soho: no, no one has tried intrep[id [16:11] ;[ [16:11] Im using ubuntu alternate 8.0.4 to install ubuntu but i get the screen that says no disk drive detected whats the problem ??

Following the guide on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto [16:23] They speak of "while the public key is stored on the .ssh/authorized_keys file on all the computers you want to log in to" [16:23] I can't find te .shh folder. [16:23] no one knowing a good linux app that emulates a piano or keyboard? [16:23] scribawf: ok are you familliar with ssh? [16:23] paul68; NOT using firestarter on either machine [16:24] akhanu`, the full path? it's in my home folder under the mrv folder, so what would the full dir be?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [16:25] kyrksaeterora: /home/username/mrv/mrv8000c.inf [16:25] legend2440, i found that one too but couldn't compile :s [16:25] what is the channel for beta users of intrepid [16:25] How do you add a public key to the server?

[16:28] ok [16:28] hi [16:28] iproute may be the answer I think [16:28] help me plz i have this problem when i try to open ntfs partition http://paste.ubuntu.com/58857/ [16:28] anyone using ubuntu-eee 8.04.1 on their eeepc? [16:28] HoNgOuRu: I'd guess there's some bridging involved there. Linux uses it's own ip, and the vmware box sees only it's own. Linux can't know what inside the virtual machine is used. [16:29] not personally, but whats the problem Trash? [16:29] yes, that's right [16:29] Hi, does anybody know a manual or wikipage that can explain how to get MPX on ubuntu ? [16:29] is anybody here good at getting ndiswrapper working? i keep getting an error that I didn't get the last time I used ndiswrapper to install drivers. [16:29] well there are some tweaks and twiddles to get the Fn keys working proper...and an applet that is recommended called eee-control [16:29] the thing is that my ISP gives me the priviledge of having 2 pcs connected at the same time, using the same modem and account [16:30] HoNgOuRu: so in a way you want linux to use the ip of the vmware system and also the vmware system to use the linux ip [16:30] but the eee-control applet just wont work on my machine [16:30] is that advice on suggestion or a question? [16:30] forget about virtual machines...I just want to use two ips with my ubuntu desktop [16:30] HoNgOuRu: well, in linux you can easily assign two ip-s (or more) at the same interface. [16:30] and no virtual machine involved [16:30] how [16:31] youll probably find the channels specifically designed for this kind of thing better to be honest... /msg alis help ? [16:31] HoNgOuRu: I paste an example for you. [16:31] where is that? [16:31] Trashmax: I do. On a 901. everything works fine so far. [16:31] HoNgOuRu: hold on, I'll tell you in a minute [16:31] ok thanks a lot [16:31] Crowley2, mines a a701 [16:32] hi [16:32] K, so i finally got my wireless internet working and i was wondering if there is a way to preserve the settings so i don't have to enter WEP key in again etc [16:32] and Crowley2 idid you install the eee-control app? [16:32] hello fellow ubuntu users [16:33] hi there, i have some problems with ubuntu 8.04, could someone please qry me 4 help? [16:34] No, I didn't, just a simple ubuntu eee install. On this machine the Fn keys work fine. Only thing which doesn't work is the "live" switching between WLAN and/or Bluetooth [16:34] Are you all familiar with "don't show this message again" in ubuntu? It pertains to power notifications. My question is how can i bring these messages back after ive clicked "dont show this message again"? [16:34] no one 4 u [16:34] hi [16:34] r3c0n, you can most certainly use "gconf-editor" to bring them back, i don't know if there's a friendlier way [16:34] Crowley2, you still here? [16:35] Yes, see above :-) [16:35] http://s2.ar.bitefight.org/c.php?uid=19732 [16:35] thank you for the response LjL, ill google it from there :) [16:35] can i add a second panel? [16:35] just needed a pointer [16:35] err, third, i guess [16:35] a second 'taskbar' panel [16:36] TrashMax: Found the message? [16:36] oh duh [16:36] found it [16:36] Crowley2, yep thanks [16:36] things go by fast [16:36] lol [16:36] coud someone help me with my audio? it doesnt work although i turned everything on 100% [16:36] what is the directory for the desktop?

[16:37] TrashMax: Which is??? [16:37] and got it to work with ubuntu? with all eyecandy? [16:37] I can toggle the net myself with an echo 1 et cetera but the bloody utility advertised to be a fix just aint workin for me [16:38] The eee-control app wont work on my box [16:38] thais will fix a few issues with networking and switching between wireless...I have.need a static IP on my localnet [16:39] hi, can anyone please help me with configuring an HP LaserJet P1006 in Cups? The pritner is not printing, and I have installed the drivers to it. There are no errors mentioned. I managed to install fine a PSC1200 [16:39] Trashmax: What's the eee-control applet anyway??? Can't find it on my machine. [16:39] but when Im on wireless this created a problem...well Network Manager does === Leppers is now known as L3PP3RS [16:39] nope its a custom deb package want alink?

[16:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto I can't find .shh [16:40] TrashMax: uninstall network manager, install wicd. First thing I did. Works great! [16:40] Ste1: its .ssh [16:40] ~/.ssh [16:40] Yepp looks like that the plan [16:40] Crowley2, http://greg.geekmind.org/eee-control/ [16:40] its /home/YOURUSER/ssh or ~/.ssh as DaCapn said. [16:41] lol [16:41] hi all, Hardy here on IBM thinkpad r52. I am recently having problem that whenever I insert the first cdrom after reboot name of the cd-rom does not change even when I replace the cd-rom with another. What may be the problem? [16:41] Trashmax: Know where to get it from? [16:41] i'm such a noob [16:41] wicd? [16:41] If you try to connect to some ssh server, it will ask you if you would like to add the key [16:41] Ste1: hardly. [16:41] Crowley2, I need to ad a repo for that correct? [16:41] Yes. An alternative network manager which is just great! [16:42] but wheres the repo at vor wicd? [16:42] for [16:42] i just had a question, kind of wierd one: I used a program before to fix my partition table when an xp install messed it up, it wasn't gparted or on the LiveCD, but I can't remember what it was, any ideas? [16:42] ok, i'll see if connecting prompts for a key. [16:42] Trashmax: Just a second... [16:42] k [16:42] !specific [16:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about specific [16:43] Ljl, i think this is it: /apps/gnome-power-manager/notify in gconf-edit [16:43] Vock, maybe fdisk [16:43] thanks bud [16:44] TrashMax: Add "http://wicd.longren.org hardy extras" to your synaptic repositories. [16:44] does testdisk make sense? It was capable of even reading/browsing corrupted partitions [16:44] ubuntu is the greatest linux distro period [16:44] Vock: it might. [16:44] greatest OS period [16:44] is it still a generally bad idea to install 64 bit because of adobe and gfx drivers and such? on a desktop? [16:44] pavillion hdx entertainment for example [16:44] r3c0n: debatable. [16:44] !best [16:44] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [16:45] abstrakt, depends if you need the benifits of 64bit. I never bother myself.. perhaops in a year i will..

[16:45] no seriously though, ive used a few distros like fedora and redhat ok just redhat family and the level of manual intervention that was required of me on other distros was typically high [16:45] HoNgOuRu: did you read the post ?

[17:30] :D [17:30] MrKeuner: check any process using the cd , chances are there it might not have been unmounted properly [17:30] kebomix: haha, np^^ [17:30] MrKeuner: using fuser [17:30] Akhanu`, to install ubuntu 8.04 from a Iso file on the hard disk [17:30] kebomix: i was bored in #gentoo [17:30] kebomix: heres some action [17:30] Dreamglider: and the iso file is in windows ? [17:30] can anyone help me setup virtual box? [17:31] MrKeuner: also try to clear autofs cache or restart autofs daemon at the final stage [17:31] hi is there anyone who plays Quake Wars? [17:31] cyrus: what laptop model and what sound card? [17:31] how do you update the kernel? [17:31] !anyone [17:31] 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? [17:31] Akhanu`, it can be. i have windows installed on a partition [17:31] whats some of the most grapics intense games that ubuntu can play with the correct hardware? [17:31] yea [17:31] i was tinking about copying the iso file to the linux partition and install it from there [17:31] r00t_: crysis under wine. [17:31] d-b, Raylz, could you comment on the error I'm getting pls? When I try sudo apt-get update it completes, and when I run sudo apt-get install wine it says The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package binfmt-support. I'm worried as to specifically what is corrupted. [17:32] Anyone here actually rent Ubuntu servers? [17:32] sqawerlz: can you install other packages? [17:32] Dreamglider: I'd think the iso files are meant to install from cd-s. Wouldn't know if you can install it from another running system [17:33] Dreamglider: you have a linux partition with a running linux too ? [17:33] Raylz, thats a good question. Let me try to install something [17:33] Akhanu`: the partition is empty [17:33] Akhanu`: i think there is a method installing from the hard drive bu it requires some boot device anyway. [17:33] a laptop by a company called "one", uses intel-chips. soundcard: "82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller" [17:33] Akhanu`: the linux partition is empty [17:34] d-b: exactly what I was thinking too. guess Dreamglider has to burn the iso on a cd and do it such. [17:34] sqawerlz: in case of wine you should use the official repositories [17:34] ok, thanks ray [17:34] i could boot from a USB flash drive [17:35] cyrus: that seems to be a known bug --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/192382 [17:35] Dreamglider: or if you have a bootable usb drive with linux, I think there are ways to boot with it, and use the .iso file for installing. chrooting and debootstrap involved. [17:35] or maybe i can install it from a usb flash disk ? [17:35] outbackwifi: problem solved hehe :P [17:36] Raylz: which one? [17:36] <^synax> Having wine audio problems, not working with PulseAudio/ALSA, http://pastebin.com/d7b2b682f [17:36] Anyone having issues with apt in the Ibex beta as of this morning? [17:36] Looking on forums but can't find anything. [17:36] Akhanu`: he could theoretically partition everything first, then install wubi by mounting the iso then rebooting to ubuntu wubi do the install (debootstrap etc.) then reboot. but ... i think we have to recommend using the cd. [17:37] Spike__: look in #ubuntu+1 [17:37] first time with linux [17:37] yeah [17:37] outbackwifi: the mount problem [17:37] outbackwifi: thanks. [17:37] d-b: I guess so too. [17:37] :) [17:37] does autofs come with default hardy installation? or is there an alternative? [17:37] Raylz: i noticed; congrats [17:37] outbackwifi: ty [17:38] outbackwifi: okay thanx [17:38] !firewall [17:38] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [17:39] hi [17:39] !ufw [17:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw [17:39] !hi | kri [17:39] kri: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [17:39] hey, is parsing /etc/lsb-release the correct way of determining the ubuntu release? For instance, redhat uses /etc/redhat-release [17:39] how do you update the kernel? [17:39] i want to make a shortcut so i run ':~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox' with a shortcut [17:39] ljsoftnet: compile it yourself with --oldconfig [17:40] Fah: I've noticed that ubuntu still has an /etc/debian_version [17:40] i need it when i play online backgammon and such games that requeries "windows" [17:40] but there is another problem: as this is a laptop the brightnes goes down if i turn off the power supply. the problem is, that the power supply is plugged in but the screen still remains darker than usual. what could i do? [17:40] ljsoftnet: the source is available at www.kernel.org [17:40] can one knowledgeable in ubottu add an entry for ufw [17:40] hello together [17:40] Fah: sudo lsb_release -c [17:40] d-b: You can submit your suggestions in a query (foo is bar) [17:41] the command is when im in the mozilla firefox folder 'wine start firefox.exe' ... [17:41] /etc/debian_version is misleading. [17:41] outbackwifi: thanks, thats what I need [17:41] ljsoftnet: the kernel will get updates for 3 years on the desktop, yes. But it will always be the same minor version [17:41] Fah: yw [17:41] add customized program starter? 'start program in terminal' + [17:41] ubottu: ufw is ubuntu or uncomplicated firewall. see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall . there is also gufw. [17:42] ? * [17:42] !ufw [17:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw [17:42] cyrus: err. increase brightness by pressing fn+f6 (on my laptop) [17:42] . [17:42] Flannel: no... [17:43] outbackwifi: Am thinking of adding the line: lsb_release -c > /etc/ubuntu_version to rc.local for fun. [17:43] argh, thanks outbackwifi [17:43] Akhanu`: you can add lsb_release -a for the full monty :) [17:43] d-b: Yes, do it in a query and ubotu will tell you all about why it's not already a factoid [17:43] why does my screen light up every time someone says flannel's name? [17:43] ok [17:43] * erth__ has been twinned! [17:43] outbackwifi: Oh, even better yes! :D [17:44] done. [17:44] any girls [17:44] !girls | kumaraa [17:44] kumaraa: Girls exist on the internet.

Does anyone here know anything about running 64 bit IDL on 64 bit Ubuntu? [17:45] anuther question: i dont get how to install any programs. for example: i have downloaded the new pidgin (pidgin-2.5.1.tar.bz2). how can i install it? [17:45] the only IDL i'm familiar with is related to corba [17:46] lmao @ girls [17:46] badfish: just want to have fun. [17:46] cyrus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto gives you a walkthrough (you won't be using that tarball) [17:46] can someone help me my computer gets jitters and screen tearing even with a nvidia 9600gt [17:46] cyrus: if its a tarball (tar, tar.gz or tar.bz2) its mostly the source. you need to configure, make and make install as with any FOSS source. [17:47] cyrus: easier way is to sudo apt-get install pidgin [17:47] I vote for sudo apt-get install pidgin [17:47] the game runs fast and renders fast but it jumps and it make it look like it is running with very low fps [17:47] kay, thanks :) [17:48] netsurf3: are you using envy? [17:48] I have HPLip 0.9.7 (Ubuntu 6.06) installed and want to update it to the one of HP 2.9.8 .. If i go to Synaptic it says that it will uninstall also ubuntu-desktop .. is it save to do so? [17:48] !envy|netsurf3 [17:48] netsurf3: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [17:48] yancho: yes ubuntu-desktop is a meta package [17:48] yancho: ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage, so yes. But Have you considered upgrading to Hardy? [17:49] hi [17:49] hi [17:49] what tool is good to crack a WAP2 network? [17:49] and is regular wifi card sufficient [17:49] LimCore: not ubuntu [17:49] Flannel, got alot of software (i know is bad) which is installed as tar .. so until i am finished with the thesis i cannot upgrade to hardy [17:49] outbackwifi: why not? === eric is now known as talntid [17:50] LimCore: thank god no. [17:50] btw, Im cracking my own AP [17:50] * outbackwifi thinks "Thats what they all say, till we read about them in the news" [17:50] aircrack-ng / cowputty but both are slow thankfully. === mklebel is now known as foogalu [17:50] yancho: Fair enough. In the future, make sure all of that goes in /usr/local/* which will make upgrading easier (of course, you likely already know this) [17:51] outbackwifi: oh ok, Im a russian hacker. Im telling putin, beware. /facepalm [17:51] matterofffactly, any linux can be used for that. It's just the tools that you use, which I really don't know much about. [17:51] no i didnt know that [17:51] thanks for the tip however [17:51] hi I have the ubuntu 8.10 beta i386 install disc, trying to install using the graphic installer, but when xorg kicks in "Starting GNOME..." I get a blank screen with a few artefacts, I have tried using 'Safe graphic mode' but the outcome was identical [17:51] Kamu: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks [17:51] can one always use WAP2 on his network? or does this only with certain wifi cards? [17:52] Kamu: try the altnerate cd [17:52] is it possible that one card supports WAP but not WAP2? and in that case, couldnt software do the decoding? [17:52] only with newer cards and access points, LimCore [17:52] LimCore: i havent heard of WAP2 only WPA2 so in all likelyhood, WAP2 is crackable [17:52] LimCore: you mean wpa2. [17:52] *WAP2 [17:52] WPA2. [17:52] LimCore: WPA* [17:52] Raylz: what is alternative on the alternative disc :)? [17:52] it is crackable. but it takes to long to be practical vs wep. [17:52] but yes you're essentially right, LimCore. Cards can support WPA but not WPA2. [17:53] AP is new, but the wifi card supports WPA, perhaps not WPA2... Perhaps there are software tools to do the decoding instead of hardware? [17:53] not sure if it's feasible to do it in software. Might involve quite a big overhead. [17:53] Kamu: alternate != alternative ;) [17:53] SlimeyPete: better slow then none network =) [17:53] Kamu: nvidia card? [17:53] Raylz: I mean what is the difference ? [17:53] yea [17:53] hi guys [17:53] outbackwifi, no i am not dont even know what it does O.o [17:53] flannel: any idea why your nick would be setting off the alert on my machine in xchat like someone is talking to me? [17:54] Kamu: theres a problem with the recent xserver and nvidia cards [17:54] forgot to mention that, but yes a nvidia card [17:54] Kamu: alternate cd provides a text installer [17:54] badfish: you have tagged his nick prolly [17:54] Kamu: and disk encryption. [17:54] Raylz: problem with ubuntu or xorg in general? [17:55] Kamu: the new xorg version is the problem [17:55] Kamu: new api, as far as ive read [17:55] does it matter wetter i burn ubuntu 8.04 on a CD or a DVD ? [17:55] !ping me [17:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about ping me [17:55] * ]K[^Omegadoom Ping me Could not be resolved to an IP address [17:55] Raylz: because my arch linux setup runs the latest everything and that works fine [17:55] my pc doesnt respond to shut down function in ubuntu hardy..can someone tell me y plz? [17:55] how do i untag a nick? [17:55] Kamu: it could be, that nvidia provides a new driver [17:56] badfish: Because you'veturned highlighting on for me, or a part of my name. I'm not too familiar with xchat [17:56] ugh [17:56] okay thanks Raylz [17:56] Kamu: np [17:56] badfish: right-click his nick and see if theres an option like that [17:56] when i select shutdown,only fans keep on working..y? [17:56] nada [17:56] once again update manager crashed my network [17:56] i don't even know how or why i would have done it [17:57] it never used to do that [17:57] plz help me guys [17:57] oh wait [17:57] wrong channel [17:57] When I run counter strike source through wine I get terrible FPS.

I was using stable [18:00] sevenseeker: you need to import the keys and add them to your system [18:01] ThePandemic82: theres also an update of the stable version: October 17, 2008: Wine 1.0.1 Released [18:01] outbackwifi: hmmm, I did that... could they have been deleted mysteriously? (these worked the other day) [18:01] how do i get 1.1.6? What do i download once im at winhq.org?

Any help? Anyone seen this? [18:42] MrKeuner: i am beginning to think you are booting from livecd [18:42] hey outbackwifi ;) [18:42] MrPiracy: ubuntu will mount ext2/3 as rw by default (note "defaults" option in /etc/fstab). I'd imagine the explicit option would be "rw" but don't know for sure. Remember ext2/3 has filesystem-level permissions which your mac ext driver may respect [18:42] amorphous: i think yes:) [18:42] outbackwifi: some people never learn [18:43] amorphous: connect the lan port of that router to this one and turn off dhcp [18:43] I installed firefox 3.0.1 from the binary they give on 6.06 and I am trying to get java working without luck.

[18:47] outbackwifi: java version "1.6.0_03" [18:47] hang on - back in a minute. [18:47] amorphous: well wireless can ssh to wired network, just other way you cant [18:47] wolfeySI: ah, I wasn't sure if that was out, thanks [18:47] amorphous: or even you could forward ports [18:47] amorphous: even with subnet you can easely do that [18:47] to one wireless server:) [18:47] foo: 16?

[18:52] outbackwifi: Is the preferred synergy for Ubuntu quicksynergy? [18:52] oh, and all of them were for kde [18:52] SiON42X: it is very well possible see my previous comment [18:52] darknejo: Jump out of windows, go Ubuntu.

[20:43] georgia font is a part of what package? ttf-xfree86-nonfree? mscorefonts? === arsen is now known as arsenip [20:44] iced tea is installed [20:44] spending 2 weeks getting fammilar with c++... and now gtk is giving me a headache === arsenip is now known as arsentop [20:44] Kartagis: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts [20:44] This monitor was installed on this machine when I installed ubuntu. [20:44] yo yo yo [20:44] thanks ActionParsnip [20:45] I assume the xorg.conf file was built accordingly although I had not installed the ATI driver yet. [20:45] Does anyone happen to have any insight on why a seemingly successful dual-boot install on a Macbook would refuse to boot into Ubuntu via rEFIt bootloader? I receive a blank, black screen after selecting the Linux partition and have no indication of any harddrive activity. The Live CD booted swimmingly, and I received no errors during install. I've submitted a thread, but thought the IRC channel might provide a more rapid response. http://ubuntuforums.org [20:45] !java [20:45] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [20:45] java is in synaptic [20:45] AlexC, can you type in "xrandr --output VGA --auto" [20:45] anus [20:46] Yes - no response. [20:46] Should that do something> [20:46] Anyone know how I can access a DAAP share? [20:46] Should that do something? [20:46] Supposedly Rhythmbox can do it but I don't see a "Sharing" tab. [20:46] kaervek: scan your partition for errors maybe [20:46] AlexC, it should have switched to the highest mode [20:46] The screne did not blink [20:46] where can i get detailed help on sound [20:46] hi actionparsnip [20:46] ActionParsnip: will do... thank you. [20:46] hi thiebaude [20:47] AlexC, i use a GUI for xrandr called grandr, try installing that if you want "sudo apt-get install grandr" [20:47] perhaps it thinks it is already in the highest mode. [20:47] !sound [20:47] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [20:47] !pulseaudio [20:47] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [20:47] divinesoul: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=892573 [20:48] OK I installed grandr. It does not show any resolutions higher than1280x1024 [20:48] AlexC, see if you can manipulate it in there. Otherwise try going to system>administration>screens, and try to see if you can change the monitor to a generic 1650x1080 monitor or whatever [20:48] AlexC: if you have only the resolution you want in xorg.conf then it will use it [20:48] alexC:or plug n play [20:49] There is no system->administration->screens but I can run displayconfig-gtk and select lcd 1680x1050 but it doesnt add the resolution to the list === ron is now known as Guest98602 [20:50] alexC:or you can edit your menu on top and add screens and graphics [20:50] hey, how do I make the dvd writer accessible to normal users? [20:50] edit my menu? [20:50] screens and graphics == what? [20:50] alexC:applications menu, right click,edit [20:51] But what is screens and graphics? is it not displayconfig-gtk? [20:51] alexc:you have to add it to your menu on top [20:51] Roland-: how do mean mean "accessible"? [20:51] Add what to my menu?

[20:52] can anyone explain better than me, :) [20:52] My understanding is Screens and graphics is a description. What program would it run? [20:52] what is the command to run network manager in the terminal [20:53] sorsis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=410858 [20:53] Rather than edit my menu, for now may I just run the program you are asking me to add to my menu?

If there is something I should run, I should be able to run it as a command like 'displayconfig-gtkl' right?

I can connect to the share using windows using the hostname, how do I connect from my ubuntu distro [21:12] just in general will upgrading to 8.04 do anything drastic? [21:12] P_Kable: if you are connecting to the samba share with an account that smb.conf says is writable you should be ok [21:12] Randal1: what's the starting point?

[21:14] i guess i'll stay on 7.10 until intrepid then [21:15] ActionParsnip=> I use the gui for sharing [21:15] Randal1: you could of course boot a hardy live CD. If your wireless works with that, you can be optimistic. [21:15] P_Kable: the gui is weak and very unconfigurable imho, the text file is massively simple [21:15] P_Kable: guis make life so much harder [21:15] Hi, what version of OS is in Ubuntu 8.04.1?

[22:19] pw-toxic: yeah it should say the folder it starts from [22:19] pw-toxic: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html [22:19] pw-toxic: sudo find / -name apache.conf [22:19] well i have edited my httpd.conf [22:19] puma472: right click the Pidgin icon in your tray, click "Accounts" [22:19] ok wait i try all this [22:20] thanks [22:20] pw-toxic: you could also read that file to see if its defined there] [22:20] pw-toxic: it is in /var/www/apache2-default/index.html [22:20] ejer, tried installing the glx driver thing, but it still doesnt work :( [22:20] Can someone help me I can't figure out how to make conky write to my desktop it opens in a window :( [22:20] pw-toxic: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/apache-default-folder-500303/ [22:21] Can anyone plse confirm to me if it is possible to compress films to get more than one on a DVD???

[22:21] DavidCanarias: sure it is [22:21] not while installing === dm_ is now known as Delvien [22:21] Will someone help me with my conky problem [22:21] DavidCanarias: you could encode to avi to make them 700Mb or so, then yuo cna fit 4 on a disk [22:22] ejer: Thks a lot, its what I thought, but how can you do it? [22:22] darkone: ive not used it in metacity, only fluxbox [22:22] DavidCanarias: install avidemux [22:22] DavidCanarias: ffmpeg and mencode [22:22] upgrading to 8.04 from the update manager says that I dont have an internet connection? any help? [22:22] Actionarsnip: Thks too, but if I convert to avi surely this wouldn't play on all DVD players would it? [22:22] ejer, but i get an error when i try and activate the drivers [22:23] DavidCanarias: some may have issues [22:23] does somebody use already ubuntu beta 10.0 [22:23] ejer: last time I played with avidemux I didn't get anywhere a all.... [22:23] DavidCanarias: to play on dvd players you must use a DVD compatible format, depends on player, some can do divx [22:23] ulises: do you mean intrepid? [22:23] ActionParsnip: what is ffmpeg and mencode? [22:23] ActionParsnip: now i can understand my fault.. i thought i have to look in the folder / i specified in httpd.conf [22:23] yes interpid [22:24] Q?: I'm installing ubuntu 8.10. I have a dual-boot system that I formatted the previous ubuntu partition and I'm going to load ubuntu 8.10 to that partition now. Do I want to re-install grub, or just uncheck "install boot loader" since grub's already there. Will ubuntu still have a /boot/grub/menu.lst even if I don't install the boot loader? [22:24] i have found the folder [22:24] DavidCanarias: its too complex to explain here, websearchng will tell you more than i ever can [22:24] ActionParsnip: Thks for your help. [22:24] i am unable to do change permission on /boot [22:24] you think i should update from 4.0 to intrepid [22:24] DavidCanarias: avidemux is the best tool, especially for going to dvd http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/index.php?title=Main_Page [22:24] NeoMatrixJR: id backup yur menu.lst then overwrite once yuo get round [22:24] ejer: in that case this explains why the other day I put in a DVD with 4 films on it and my current DVD player only recognised one of them. [22:25] ferronica: sudo chown or sudo chmod is needed [22:25] Okay, so I have a Sansa Fuze 4GB mp3 player, and I was able to see it once before as removable media, however now am unable. Ideas as to why and how I might fix this? [22:25] anyone know of any good games for linux? nexuiz is good but i want more games [22:25] Terabytten: does it show up in sudo fdisk -l [22:25] ActionParsnip: i did chmod [22:25] Is there a shockwave plugin for Linux? [22:25] imikeymike Alien Arena is a good game [22:25] ActionParsnip: as sudo :( [22:25] ferronica: you'll need sudo [22:25] DavidCanarias: http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/index.php?title=Converting_to_DVD [22:25] !games | mikeymike [22:25] mikeymike: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [22:25] ferronica: what are yuo trying to achieve [22:26] ActionParsnip: ejer: If I did put 4 films on one DVD and the person I gave the DVD to couldn't read it on his DVD player could he import to his computer and then re-record or would he need to reformat? [22:26] actionparsnip tell me, do you use already intrepid [22:26] ActionParsnip: menu.lst gone bye-bye. Already formatted. (now realizing I killed windows boot until ubuntu is fixed) Will ubuntu still have a /boot/grub if I don't install? Will it cause dual boot issues if I re-install grub over grub? [22:26] DavidCanarias: he may be able to use them on comp, all depends what you did [22:26] !shockwave [22:26] Shockwave is currently only available for Windows.

[22:39] ejer, just wanted to say thanks. Installed latest nvidia drivers but forgot to enable them :) All works now, ty [22:39] It should be read right now as just removable storage. It's connected through a proprietary USB connection, but I don' tthink that would impact it. Seems like it should be simple enough.. [22:40] ejer: is there any problem in fstab ? [22:40] ferronica: why do you think it is wrong for boot to be what it is? [22:40] is it safe to assume that the kubuntu and the ubuntu update sources are different? [22:40] Terabytten: what device is it again? [22:40] Why are there so many people who claim there are big issues with flash and java on Ubuntu64?

I am running Ubuntu Ultimate 1.9... it's a customized HH release. I normally use Gnome desktop. Got everything set up on it, gnome was working great but then I booted my computer up a day or two ago and gnome won't load fully. When I try to use gnome desktop it will load the wallpaper but nothing else. I have deleted the .gnome2 and .conf files to reset gnomes settings but this did nothing for me except [22:52] change the wallpaper back to default, but it still won't load the rest of gnome. I am using KDE right now :*( Anyone got any other suggestions on how to fix this? [22:52] I'll try the nvidia driers. [22:52] DarkGu1: anyway, try 'xrandr' in terminal. It should tell you what modes are available and what capabilities your display has [22:53] hajar: Wait, you have an entire hard drive dedicated to almost useless swap space? [22:53] P3X-018: it is installed, right click the top bar, add to panel, choose dictionary lookup [22:53] Using apt-get install or update gives: E: Method gave invalid 400 URI Failure message [22:53] !ultimate > Lighttitan [22:53] Lighttitan, please see my private message [22:53] yes [22:53] soundray: It claims the maximum is 1280 by 800, but thats incorrect. [22:53] hajar: There's no need to do that. That just makes the drive unusable to you [22:53] DarkGu1: xrandr does? [22:53] soundray: Yup [22:54] Lartza_: pastebin the entire output of 'sudo apt-get update' and the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list [22:54] DarkGu1: what did you expect it to be? [22:54] soundray: 1400 by 1050 [22:54] Eh, I'll just try and figure it out later then. [22:54] hajar: Your swap drive really should be just a little more than your RAM when you have more than 1GB of RAM [22:54] what kinda monitor is that [22:54] when i install it it is refuse to partition so a i make it all [22:54] Ok well aside from the fact it's not a pure Ubuntu release, does no one have any suggestions or know what could cause Gnome not to fully load? [22:54] DarkGu1: sorry, don't know what to do there [22:55] soundray: k [22:55] What UBUNTU means??!?!?!? [22:55] !ubuntu [22:55] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [22:55] it means humanness JewingGum [22:55] JewingGum: it's an African word that means "I can't configure Debian!" [22:55] lol [22:55] ThexLeopard: do you use terminal or just gui [22:55] lol [22:55] JewingGum: It's an afican term meaning "humanity". http://en.wikipedia.org/ubuntu [22:55] I use CLI [22:55] Does anyone what to do when ubuntu detects resolution incorrectly and none of the suggestions on the wiki fix it? [22:56] does someone knows how to configure a touch pad?? [22:56] i used the gui yoyoned, trying to delete all the files on terminal would take me about a year [22:56] http://pastebin.com/d421b8b [22:56] DarkGu1: did you install the driver? [22:56] ejer: I'm doing it now [22:56] P3X-018 you could try dict or dictd, im not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for but wouldn't hurt to install it? search the synaptic for those two programs. [22:56] DarkGu1: Did you install your driver? [22:56] ejer: Can't find it, maybe because I'm using KDE. [22:56] ThexLeopard: is if one folder or a bunch of files [22:56] Some_Person: Doing it now [22:56] Greetings! [22:56] nothing special on output or sources.list [22:56] P3X-018: there is an app called kdict I think [22:56] Ok well I guess I am just stuck with using KDE until they release 8.10 Intrepid... I don't feel like reloading when 8.10 is so close and I am going to get a graphics driver upgrade [22:57] DarkGu1: Then don't ask unless you have a problem with the drivers installed [22:57] yoyoned, its a folder with two subfolders and a bunch of files in the subfolders [22:57] Lartza_: please pastebin it... [22:57] http://pastebin.com/d421b8b [22:57] you missed it [22:57] Some_Person: Ok, ok [22:57] WHEN will 8.10 interpid be released [22:57] !who | Lartza_ [22:57] Lartza_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:57] I changed my hostname but now I can't open new terminals. anyone know why? [22:57] ThexLeopard: and you want to remove them all? [22:57] restarting [22:57] basically yes yoyoned [22:57] see ya when it's back up [22:57] ThexLeopard: to delete a directory and all files: sudo rm directory -rfv [22:57] ok ill try it ejer [22:58] make sure that is what you want ThexLeopard there is no going back [22:58] ThexLeopard: you need to change the files owner [22:58] Lartza_: output of 'ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/' [22:58] !chown|thexleopard [22:58] thexleopard: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [22:58] then how can i make swap partition? [22:58] cheers ejer thats done the trick i think [22:59] Hey Quick question: Can anyone point me in the direction of how to install a basic linux kernel to a harddrive. For purpose of getting the drive to boot solo without a live cd. I have as my only tool a ubuntu live CD PPC build. [22:59] ooo, and its unlocked the folder i have some use for O.o [22:59] iamelite: Is your computer a PPC? [22:59] PowerPC G3 Imac [22:59] playdeb, medibuntu, winehq [22:59] iamelite: you would just do a normal install... [22:59] !bootoptions > AlexC [22:59] AlexC, please see my private message [22:59] jrib: playdeb, medibuntu, winehq [23:00] iamelite: Just install an OS. Ubuntu 6.06 has a PPC version [23:00] Lartza_: you need to put my name in your response if you want to be sure I notice it. Get rid of playdeb [23:00] iamelite: A kernel without anything with it is useless [23:00] ejer, after many many atempts to install nomally and having an apt mirror issue, i have given up on a normall install. [23:00] Some_Person I know enough about the command line to navigate and install packages [23:00] /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER Terabytten ksjbldnrwqwi [23:00] iamelite: apt mirror should not matter, you have all the packages on that cd [23:00] Er [23:00] jrib: why? it has worked fine for now, i did google problems with it but weird [23:01] ejer, tell that to the isntall disk wich fails every single time at 82% [23:01] ejer, some_person: I installed the driver. It's worse now. The resolution is being incorrectly detected as 700x525. The Refresh Rate is being incorrectly detected as 50hz. [23:01] iamelite: A kernel on its own wouldn't even have a command line [23:01] what's the command to check my kernel version? [23:01] Lighttitan: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278635 [23:01] Lighttitan: uname -a [23:01] DarkGu1: Nvidia? [23:01] thanks [23:01] Lartza_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278635 [23:01] some_person: Yup [23:01] Lighttitan: ignore me [23:01] DarkGu1: Open terminal, type nvidia-settings [23:01] i installed the ubuntu mobile package in hardy, hoping it would give me an ubuntu session. instead, it just installed the packages. what can i do to get an ubuntu mobile session in my xubuntu install? [23:01] Some_Person Very well, i am ignorant to the words that im using. Im fairly new. What i want is a command line and no X [23:02] iamelite: Then get Ubuntu Server Edition [23:02] some_person: Installing [23:02] iamelite: That is ubuntu without X [23:02] Some_Person can i aquire and install a script for that from a Xubuntu Live PPC Graphical Desktop? [23:02] how do I figure out which package contains the application 'gzcat'? I've tried both package search, apt-cache search, and google with no success [23:02] iamelite: if your CD is corrupt this can happen [23:02] iamelite: What? [23:03] does anyone know what the gnome Desktop Effects tab of the Appearance applet actually modifies? [23:03] some_person: got it [23:03] blocky: It modified Compiz [23:03] yea but more specifically? [23:03] blocky: It enables/disables compiz plugins [23:03] IdahoEv: it should be zcat and it's default [23:03] Some_Person, I can only boot the computer as it is now with a Live CD. Can i Install or download from the internet onto that machine the Server Edition, without having to burn or copy a new boot medium. [23:03] IdahoEv: do you want 'zcat' in the gzip package? [23:04] jrib: hmmm, i've always typed 'gzcat' rather than 'zcat' [23:04] some_person: It list three resolutions. One is out of this monitors range, and another is correct(1400 by 1050) and the third is the current one(700x525). [23:04] !debootstrap | iamelite [23:04] iamelite: debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information [23:04] iamelite: Not as far as I know. Is the Live CD you're using an ubuntu CD? [23:04] my 2 soundcards keep swapping between dsp and dsp1 during reboots. How do I fix this ? [23:04] jrib: but i had to rebuild this server and ... no such command. can't remember where i installed it from last time. [23:04] DarkGu1: choose the correct resolution, hit Apply [23:04] IdahoEv: zcat is what you want [23:04] some_person: ok [23:04] IdahoEv: you can always alias gzcat=zcat so you don't have to change your habit [23:04] DarkGu1: If it works, then hit Save to config (or something like that) [23:04] how can i make swap partition ? [23:05] soundray: okay, muchas gracias guys. [23:05] Some_Person, Yes it is the Xubuntu Desktop PowerPC build Live [23:05] Some_Person, i need to know how to tweak those plugins individually [23:05] cause one of them has messed up my window titles [23:05] i installed the ubuntu mobile package in hardy, hoping it would give me an ubuntu session. instead, it just installed the packages. what can i do to get an ubuntu mobile session in my xubuntu install? [23:05] what_if: http://wiki.soslug.org/wiki/what_to_do_if_you_have_multiple_sound_cards_and_the_wrong_one_is_selected_ubuntu_debian_distros [23:05] blocky: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [23:05] some_person: Now there are black bars on either side. The screen is widescreen, if that helps [23:05] hiya guys [23:05] hajar: theres a partition manager you can download from the repository, gnome partition manager its called if memory serves, try that [23:05] I just had some really troublesome time to install hardy on my P5Q Pro mobo [23:05] hajar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [23:06] Some_Person, it crashes [23:06] iamelite: Then install Xubuntu and remove X later [23:06] Hey there. How do I get dbg packages for all of the packages that ubuntu releases? [23:06] DarkGu1: 1440x1050 isn't widescreen, though... [23:06] can anyone tell me how can I turn on autocomplete for commands in terminal [23:06] blocky: That is the only way to configure compiz [23:06] DarkGu1: That isn't a widescreen resolution [23:06] k [23:06] well #compiz is reccomending i bust out gdb === flugger- is now known as flugger [23:06] iamelite: if the cd will not install and you don't want to download another, debootstrap will do it, I posted link further up [23:06] some_person: My monitors box claims it is 1400 by 1050 wide [23:07] Some_Person, At 82% installation completion, upon it attempting to configure apt, i get an unrecoverable error of "invalid Mirror" [23:07] mad_max02, tab key completion? [23:07] DarkGu1: And I say that's impossible [23:07] Some_Person, one that i cannot bypass in that graphical installer [23:07] can i check package version on repositories with command line? [23:07] iamelite: Because old dapper mirrors have moved [23:07] where can i find more information about how hal/dbus/gnome-mount/policykit/udev policies work together - we currently have problems with hotplug devices and ldap users [23:07] mongolai, yup. that one [23:07] mongolai, I remember I had to uncomment one line in one file [23:07] mad_max02, it's not working? [23:07] iamelite: Get the Alternate CD. It has a textmode installer [23:07] some_person: Well.... [23:07] nope [23:07] hallo [23:07] .... [23:08] Some_Person: ? I have a 1440x1050 screen [23:08] can i check package version on repositories with command line? [23:08] Oh sorry DarkGu1 [23:08] some_person: What? [23:08] I thought you said 1080 [23:09] some_person: Ah, ok [23:09] DarkGu1: it's roughly a 4x3, not widescreen [23:09] Some_Person If i were to mount a partition for download, on the harddrive, on the machine running the standard Desktop CD. Is it possible to aquire the files from the Alternate CD and execute its installation into the terminal? [23:09] soundray: ok, but it still isn't working right. [23:09] Lartza_: dpkg -s packagename [23:09] iamelive: No. You would boot to the alternate CD [23:09] ThexLeopard ,ejer thanx alot [23:10] I have black bars on either side of the screen and the text is hard to read [23:10] Some_Person, well... fishsticks. Im out of CDs to burn [23:10] DarkGu1: can you boot with vga=866 as a boot option? [23:10] iamelive: The alternate CD has more options and should let you bypass that [23:11] anyone know how to change the defaul restore size of the gnome-terminal? mine is stuck on huge [23:11] soundray: Unfortunately, I don't know what that means. [23:11] iamelite: Then buy some CDs. They are cheap these days [23:11] iamelite: 3rd time, yes you can. debootstrap [23:11] default* [23:11] some_person: any ideas? [23:11] soundray are you still here [23:11] DarkGu1: there is an explanation here: ubuntu.com/community/BootOption (scroll down to Change Boot Options Temporarily On An Existing Ubuntu System [23:11] ) [23:11] DarkGu1: I'm not sure. I've never used a WS display with an nvidia card [23:11] ejer, Yes thank you. I was exploring all options in a vain attempt to learn [23:11] some_person: ok [23:11] AlexC: DarkGu1 has a similar problem to yours... [23:12] Ah [23:12] soundray: Yay! company! [23:12] what's a clean virtual drive? [23:12] ejer, I will look this up and try it out. if your around ill let you know how it went :) [23:12] So shall we meet in the classroom? [23:12] !debootstrap > iamelite [23:12] the classroom? [23:12] iamelite, please see my private message [23:12] AlexC: yes, let's. DarkGu1: #ubuntu-classroom [23:12] how can i run multiple monitors in Gnome ? [23:12] ejer: Note that iamelite is using PPC [23:12] soundray: o [23:12] soudnray: ok [23:13] Some_Person: yep [23:13] i don't find any swap partition , am i need it? [23:13] hajar: If ubuntu is running at all you have a swap partition [23:13] hajar, how much ram do you have? === recon_etc is now known as recon [23:14] hajar: Open up the Partition Editor (sudo apt-get gparted) and then you'll see it [23:14] but i write fdisk and nothing output [23:14] hajar: Sorry that should be sudo apt-get install gparted [23:14] mongolai ..2 g [23:14] Hello, everyone ! Please, somebody help, ubuntu loads in balck screen (video VIA VX700). [23:15] hajar: use "swapon -s" to show swap [23:16] hajar, you probably don't need any swap. [23:16] hajar: You don't need swap to run ubuntu, but you do to hibernate [23:17] I feel like I forgot my mind somewhere back in the '90s [23:17] this is the result /dev/sda5 partition 6072528 0 -1 [23:18] hajar: You have a swap [23:19] hajar: It is way more than you actually need if you have 2GB of RAM [23:19] but hibernate is not work? [23:19] you do not have enough RAM to suspend hajar [23:19] err wait [23:20] hajar: That should be enough swap to hibernate [23:20] how? [23:20] that number is in megabytes, so you have 6GB swap, which should be more than enough [23:20] hajar: 6GB of swap is way more than you need. [23:20] can anyone help my wubi install [23:20] then when i decrease it , it will work? [23:21] less than2? [23:21] hajar: No [23:21] ejer, Its a pity no ones come up with a way to create a virtualized harddrive server. So i could open say... Virtualbox, fake a PPC arch and install to the drive remotely from this machine. [23:21] hajar: Decreasing the swap will not fix it [23:21] then how? [23:21] hajar: Besides, your swap needs to be more than your RAM, not less [23:21] hajar: Your problem is not swap-related [23:21] Alright, I just came back to ubuntu recently, so please tell me, is there an easy way to have a different wallpaper for each workspace yet? [23:22] iamelite: you can, but why would you go through vbox? [23:22] ejer, I Use only the knowledge i have for sake of example [23:22] mongolai, I fond the thing myself. You have to edit /etc/bash.bashrc. It works like a charm now. [23:23] also suspend does not work [23:23] mongolai, do you have any suggestion how can I install mplayer sucesfully ? [23:23] Hello community, I need an info I cant install my graphic card drivers =x [23:23] its my first day on ubuntu desktop [23:23] iamelite: the program I gave you allows you to install linux onto your hard drive from a livecd, without using the packages on that livecd [23:23] can someone help me ?

[23:40] carrera: read ubottu's factoid again [23:40] danbh_intrepid: ok thx [23:41] yw [23:41] soundray: I fixed....by setting it to a higher resolution than it supprots [23:41] Has anyone here heard of a monitor falsely claiming to be at a lower resolution than it supprots [23:41] bimberi, I did, that's why I thanked him!

[23:42] bimberi, please read my "I had" again! ;) [23:42] mecha: yup [23:42] I got multiple monitors working in gnome by downloading 'urandr' [23:42] anyone know why firefox is so unstable?

[23:43] :) [23:43] mecha: How do I tell which one I have [23:43] ? [23:44] bimberi, I've been working offshore over three years now [23:44] DarkGul: System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [23:44] :) [23:44] mecha, well it's perfectly stable here, I'd be removing all your plugins and seeing if that fixes it. Then adding the ones you really want back one by one, making sure you don't create the problem again. [23:44] I have the drivers, it doesn't say if it's nvidia-glx-new [23:44] But i suspect it is.

I thinks the monitor is bigger than it is, and it only works close to right when it;s set at a higher resolution than it is. [23:46] DarkGu1: wow, well done [23:46] DarkGul: now change the resolution settings and save to your xorg.confg [23:47] mecha: Er, why. If I set it to the correct resolution, it has black bars on either side. [23:47] Soundray: it's bizarre [23:47] DarkGu1: indeed [23:47] DarkGu1: too bad AlexC has just left [23:47] btw, there's a mistake in the ubottu factoid. It's System > Administration > _Network_ not _Networking_ [23:47] DarkGul: if it says you cant overwrite the old file close the nvidia settins and type "sudo nvidia-setting" in the console then ur password [23:48] mecha: I know all that [23:48] mecha: But it doesn't work right when it's at the correct resolution [23:48] DarkGul: what does that mean? how? [23:48] mecha: The monitor is [23:49] 1400x1050, but when it's set to 1400xby1050 everythings too small and there are black bars on either side.\ [23:49] is there a way to reset the gnome movie player and all codecs back to ubuntu factory defaults? something is messed up with mine. they're choppy and low resolution. [23:49] what would people suggest for a small business software with ubuntu? [23:49] i wonder if alexc fixed his problem [23:49] i was helping him earlier [23:49] When it's set ito 1680x1050 it seems to be more or less right [23:49] Hello! [23:49] aaron_: open office [23:49] any idea why? [23:50] DarkGul: hae u tried to calibrate your monitor manually? [23:50] sorry for accounting purposes...anything equivalent to Simply Accounting [23:50] how can I raise my ScreenRes to higher than 1440x900. I've a 19" wide [23:50] mecha: you mean editing the fail manually [23:50] ? [23:50] Er, file, not fail [23:50] are any of you using the two-finger-scroll gesture on a synaptics touchpad? [23:50] aaron_: look it up in synaptic [23:50] Freudian slip [23:50] k thanks [23:51] DarkGul:are there buttonson your monitor [23:51] hi! i have separate log files for each virtual host i run. what is the command I'd use to truncate the log files so that they are kept to a reasonable size? [23:51] mecha: Er, yes [23:52] Aggrav8d: take a look at logrotate [23:52] i'm looking for a bash style command that i can then crontab. [23:52] aah. [23:52] thanks, slart1 === aoeuid_ is now known as aoeuid [23:52] DarkGul: use them to calibrate the visibility and then retry the software [23:52] Aggrav8d: I think it does all kinds of neat stuff.. compressing old logs and such [23:52] mecha: I can see fine. It works fine [23:52] When it's set at the wrong res [23:52] I've enabled the restricted driver for my GeForce but the highest value that the Screen Resolution app shows is 1440x900. How can I use a higher res please? [23:53] carrera: Do you have a widescreen monitor? [23:53] DarkGul: then leave it on the wrong res [23:53] carrera, use Envy to install nvidia or ati drivers [23:53] hey, hmm, how can I from an ctrl-alt-f1 term completely restart x? [23:53] DarkGu1, yessir. It's a Samsung SyncMaster BW1932 - 19" [23:53] tyberion: ctrl-alt-backspace.

Do you have the nvidia drivers installed? [23:53] carrera, are you sure that ur 19" has a higher resolution than that ? [23:53] carrera: in console type "sudo nvidia-settings" [23:54] tyberion: soundrays and mine are basically the same.. [23:54] well c-a-backspace doesnt work since it automatikally brings back [23:54] DarkGu1, I enabled them right after install [23:54] is there a way to reset the gnome movie player and all codecs back to ubuntu factory defaults? i broke something somehow. video is jerky and pixelated :< [23:54] tyberion: DarkGu1's you can forget :) [23:54] carrera: Type sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings in a terminal. [23:54] mad_max02, yessir. I was using it with a WinXP pc with a much lesser ATI card [23:55] carrera: I just solved a similar problem.
